You Wensi looked enlightened: "It seems that Nie Ningshuang has broken through again. Today, she has also entered the Golden Core realm."
As she spoke, she looked up at Yun Chu'an and said, "Master, let's go take a look too."
Yun Chuan said, "You should still call me by my name when you're out. If others hear it, it won't be good for your reputation."
His thoughtfulness warmed You Wensi's heart: "Yes, Chu'an."
The two then leaped forward at breakneck speed, fleeing towards the place with the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations and the heaviest chill. Several streaks of light rushed towards them one after the other, and Zhu Yunqing, Hua Caiyan, and the others also flew to the scene.
Hua Caiyan was holding a child in her arms, who was none other than Yan Yao. The group arrived one after another at the core area of this cold air outbreak, and saw that Nie Ning Shuang was frozen inside the largest ice crystal again.
Her clothes had been torn to shreds by the cold air, and she was now curled up naked in the center of the ice block, her light pink hair motionless, her delicate skin completely exposed.
Seeing that she was naked again, Yun Chu'an felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to turn his face away, but he was worried about his third sister's true state at this moment, so he could only suppress his emotions and use his Qi Observation Technique to scan her entire body.
After confirming that she was in good condition and had even successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.
Unfortunately, at that very moment, a figure skipped over from a distance. It was none other than his wife, Qi Qiao.
The girl had just arrived when she saw Yun Chu'an staring intently at her third sister's naked body. She immediately felt jealous and went up to him, grabbing his hand: "Don't take the opportunity to peek."
She whispered, and Yun Chu'an looked away and quickly explained, "I wasn't looking randomly, I was worried about Third Sister's condition and was observing her cultivation level..."
Qi Qiao pouted and stood in front of him. Zhu Yunqing glanced at him; although she knew he was telling the truth, she was still unhappy.
She continued, "This is normal for Third Sister. Her cultivation speed is much faster than ours. However, due to her special physique, she will do this every time she breaks through, uh, 'return to simplicity' once."
"After all, her essence is a piece of ice that has gained spiritual energy, which is fundamentally different from us cultivators."
Hua Caiyan watched from the side and nodded gently: "Yes, I remember it has happened two or three times, but overall, it's a good thing, after all, Third Sister has broken through."
As she spoke, she eagerly suggested, "Then, Fourth Sister, shall we bury Third Sister as we always have, and let her decompose naturally?"
Zhu Yunqing nodded: "Yes, forcibly opening it will damage her soul, so let's do it this way."
Hua Caiyan reached out and placed Yan Yao on the ground, preparing to bury Nie Ningshuang back into the water as before.
At that moment, everyone heard Yan Yao suddenly speak: "I can release her."
Everyone was startled and turned to look at the girl with pigtails, wearing a beige shirt and skirt. They saw her eyes sparkling as she said, "When my sister took me out to play before, she suddenly broke through and was frozen."
"Then, the older sister named Yan Shuiyi recited a spell, which melted the ice and rescued her. The older sister then woke up and was perfectly fine."
She said this in an innocent tone, as if it were the simplest thing in the world: "I've already memorized that incantation, why don't we rescue her now?"
Yun Chu'an was alarmed. Although, considering her age, the whole thing seemed impossible, given Yan Yao's extraordinary qualities, perhaps...
He and Zhu Yunqing exchanged a glance, and the latter understood his meaning, nodding slightly: "Then, why don't we give it a try?"
Now, everyone in the family knows that Yan Yao is an extraordinary girl, and there are many things about her that they find hard to understand. Therefore, they all agree to give it a try.
Then, everyone saw her walk forward, place her hand on the ice, close her eyes, and silently chant a spell.
She tried, but the ice cube wouldn't budge. Then, she opened her eyes in frustration and said, "I'm not strong enough..."
Hua Caiyan understood what her adopted daughter meant and quickly said, "She means her spiritual power is insufficient, uh, patriarch?"
She asked tentatively, and You Wensi looked at Yun Chu'an. After the latter nodded in agreement, the woman stepped forward, reached out, and placed her hand on the ice as well: "You read it, and I will assist you."
Chapter 500 An Unexpected Encounter, An Embrace
Yan Yao tried again, but soon You Wensi frowned and gritted her teeth, as if she was under great pressure.
A moment later, the two opened their eyes again: "No, I'm not proficient in this freezing spiritual power, I can't keep up with her pace..."
Her words left everyone disheartened. Zhu Yunqing continued, "Then let's stop this fussing and just stick to the old ways."
She had barely finished speaking when Yun Chuan said, "Wait, let me try."
You Wensi may not be good at this, but he has a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
The crowd naturally agreed, and Yun Chu'an stepped forward to face Nie Ning Shuang directly. Within the ice block, Nie Ning Shuang, curled up in a ball with her knees drawn up to her chest, appeared to be suspended in mid-air, facing him at an unusual angle.
Therefore, even though he tried his best to avoid those sensitive areas, many private and detailed areas of her body still uncontrollably fell into his sight.
Her tender breasts, each barely large enough to be grasped in one hand, were partially concealed beneath her soft arms, revealing her areolas and even nipples. Below her slender waist lay her round, pert buttocks, and between her smooth, milky-white thighs, glimpses of pale pink pubic hair and even her tender, rosy private area…
He awkwardly looked away, after all, so many people were watching, and he and his third sister weren't particularly close. He tried hard to avoid looking, but the unnaturalness on his face didn't escape Qi Qiao's notice, which still angered the zombie girl.
"let's start."
Yun Chu'an then spoke to Yan Yao, who seemed not to understand what he was embarrassed about. He tilted his head slightly but did not ask any further questions. He placed his hand on the ice for the third time and silently recited a spell.
She guided an extremely subtle stream of spiritual energy into the ice crystal, and then enveloped the sleeping Nie Ningshuang.
Essentially, even if Yan Yao, who only had the third level of Qi Refining cultivation, poured all his spiritual energy into the fight, he still couldn't do anything against the massive Xuanbing.
However, that faint spiritual energy could serve as a beacon, guiding Yun Chu'an.
Then, the Heavenly Spiritual Root exerted its power.
In the blink of an eye, he absorbed all the surrounding freezing spiritual energy into his body. Then, he channeled it out from his palm, following Yan Yao's guiding spiritual energy, flowing evenly, guiding, gathering, and exerting force within the massive block of ice in front of him.
As a result, a continuous stream of spiritual energy was injected into the deepest part of the ice crystal, into the sleeping Nie Ningshuang's body, causing her dormant soul and body to become active again, and her spiritual energy to begin to boil.
On the contrary, the ice crystals enveloping her began to heat up, loosen, and become soft and even brittle, melting from the inside out. The freezing spiritual power contained within them was completely absorbed by Nie Ning Shuang.
The only problem was that, in order to stay focused, he had to turn his head back and stare directly at Nie Ningshuang's body.
Therefore, he was forced to stare at the girl's naked body.
Beside them, Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan, who were watching, stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. Even though they were very unhappy that Yun Chuan was staring at their third sister's body, the matter was of great importance, and they couldn't care less about that, so they could only endure it.
Finally, when the spiritual energy converged at a certain point, the ice crystals surrounding her shattered with a deafening roar—

It shattered like a shoddy construction project. Nie Ningshuang, who was originally suspended inside and naked, fell from mid-air. Yun Chuan, who was facing her, was still in the state of transmitting spiritual energy. Caught off guard, she was hit head-on.
"Uh--"
He instinctively opened his arms and hugged her, thus completely holding Nie Ningshuang's naked body in his embrace.
Behind her, seeing her husband suddenly embrace another naked woman, Qi Qiao's mind went blank for a moment. She quickly jumped forward, reached into her storage bag, took out a piece of clothing, and was about to drape it over Nie Ning Shuang: "Let go quickly!"
Yun Chu'an snapped out of his daze and was suddenly caught in Nie Ningshuang's arms. The girl's faint fragrance filled his nostrils, making him even more embarrassed and nervous. He kept silently repeating "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" to himself.
He quickly let go and placed the still unconscious Nie Ningshuang into his wife's arms. But coincidentally, at that moment, Nie Ningshuang suddenly opened her eyes.
The moment she woke up, she immediately realized that she was naked and being held in her brother-in-law's arms.
Immediately, the girl's face turned bright red, and she let out a scream: "Ah—!"
Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan rushed forward, using their bodies to cover Nie Ningshuang's naked body while quickly helping her put on her clothes.
You Wensi spoke most urgently, quickly and angrily saying, "What are you shouting for! Chu'an is trying to help you wake up and recover as soon as possible!"
Her angry shout, that familiar voice, finally brought Nie Ningshuang back to her senses. But her face was still flushed, and she huddled under the blanket Qi Qiao was holding, afraid to show herself. After a while, once her emotions had calmed down slightly, she cautiously asked, "How long have I been frozen?"
Zhu Yunqing said, "From the time you broke through and were sealed in the ice crystal, to the time when everyone helped you thaw and rescue you, the whole process took less than two hours."
"Third sister, you should be happy. This means that your chronic illness has been cured, and you can break through without restraint if you want to in the future."
She said this, and Hua Caiyan, who was standing next to her, was also happy for her.
However, the thought that if this were the case, Nie Ningshuang's naked body would be seen by him again after each breakthrough made her feel sour and she gritted her teeth in secret.
Qi Qiao also looked at her husband, her eyes slightly aggrieved. Yun Chu'an looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, saying, "Congratulations! From today onwards, our family will have three Golden Core cultivators at the same time, making us one of the powerful families on both sides of the Wei River."
"Moreover, we will be able to contribute more to the subsequent battle to eliminate the Yellow Python."
He said this, but what he said was puzzling. Yun Chu'an then told the story of how Yan Shui had injured the Yellow Python Ancestor. For a moment, everyone was shocked, and then they were overjoyed: "Great! In this way, we can all stay here and don't have to move."
Zhu Yunqing said this, and everyone was overjoyed. Yun Chuan smiled and said, "Then, Mother-in-law, Third Sister, let's make some preparations. When it's almost time, we'll set off together to find Princess and Yan Shuiyi and the others to attend this grand event."
No one objected; it seemed that everyone could see a bright future waiting for them not far away.
……
On the opposite bank of Wei Lake, deep in the mountains.
Yan Shui was cultivating alone here. Her long black hair, tied in a ponytail, fell naturally as she sat cross-legged on a futon, facing the distant green mountains and clear waters. She closed her eyes, meditated, and concentrated her spiritual energy.
A vast vortex of spiritual energy gathered around her and flowed into her golden core. After nine rotations, she suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils gleaming with brilliant light, her spirit and energy reaching a new peak.
At this moment, she has entered a new realm of mid-stage Golden Core.
Just as she broke through to the next level, a round of applause suddenly came from behind her, accompanied by a familiar female voice: "Congratulations."
Yan Shui turned her head and saw the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, still dressed simply, wearing only a single garment and a veil, walking towards her.
Immediately, Yan Shui asked with great curiosity, "How did you know I was here?"
The saintess simply smiled and said, "I had a feeling and came to take a look, but I never expected to run into you like this."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes gazed at Yan Shuiyi's face, as if she had already fallen deeply in love: "It's truly unbelievable that a fairy could achieve such a feat as defeating a Nascent Soul cultivator with only a Golden Core stage cultivation."
"No, this can't even be called a feat; in fact, it's more like a miracle."
She spared no praise. After this battle, she was even more certain that the most dazzling genius in the world was none other than the female sword immortal before her.
Yan Shui shook her head and said, "No, this matter cannot be entirely attributed to me. If we are to talk about the greatest credit, it should be the Dragon King and the others who risked their lives, as well as the information that Miss Bai brought."
"All I did was strike the fatal blow on the weakness they had marked."
She was very humble and did not place herself in a high position. The Holy Maiden of Hehuan walked gracefully over and took her hand: "What I admire about you is this about you, Fairy. You are powerful but not arrogant. If everyone had the demeanor of a Fairy, why would there be so much strife in this world?"
Chapter 501 Yan Shui Yi's Daoist Partner?
As she spoke, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan lowered her voice: "It's a pity that as a concubine, I can't fight alongside you. Given the current situation of the Dragon Palace, they probably already hate the Hehuan Sect to the bone, right?"
She said this, lowering her head, her voice low. The news that the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was willing to risk his life to marry a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect had long been known throughout both banks of the Wei River. Everyone knew about the Dragon King and Dragon Mother's fury, after all, this incident was practically turning the Wei River Dragon Clan into a joke.
Yan Shui looked at the woman before her with considerable admiration. She was unaware of the many schemes behind it all, only feeling regret that because of these misunderstandings, one of her allies was unable to fight alongside her against evil.
She immediately invited, "However, the battlefield for attacking the New Ten Thousand Serpent Cave will not be on the Dragon Palace, and the Wei River Dragon King cannot make that decision. So why don't you come with us?"
The Holy Maiden of Hehuan smiled gently and shook her head: "I appreciate the fairy's kindness, but I was not present at the great battle at Weihu that day. If I go later, I'm afraid people will say that I came to steal the fruits of others' labor."
Yan Shui said, "As long as we have a clear conscience, why should we care what outsiders say?"
She didn't understand, but the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Union still refused: "I must also consider my sect."
As she spoke, she took two steps forward, took out a beautiful indigo sachet with silver embroidery, and handed it to her: "Even so, I would like to do my part for this matter. This treasure was sewn by my own hands recently, and it contains the great Dao of Yin and Yang, with endless wonderful uses."
"Fairy, simply wear it on your body and move with the flow of spiritual energy, and it will protect you. This journey is fraught with great responsibility and risk, so you must protect yourself. The future of humanity's righteous path still depends on you."
As soon as Yan Shui took the sachet, she circulated her spiritual power and entered it with her divine sense. After exploring it, she was immediately amazed by the exquisite function of this magical artifact.
She didn't stand on ceremony, nodded, and said, "I appreciate your kindness. Even if outsiders don't understand your enthusiasm, I will remember it."
The Holy Maiden of Hehuan nodded slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but suddenly her expression changed, and she took half a step back: "Someone is coming, fairy. In order to avoid tarnishing your reputation, I shall take my leave for now."
Yan Shuiyi looked slightly anxious, as if to say that she didn't care what others thought about her having a friend like Yan Shuiyi. However, the Holy Maiden of Hehuan moved quickly, taking another half step back. Her body gradually dissipated, turning into nothingness and disappearing into the air without leaving a trace.
Only Yan Shui remained standing there, holding a sachet in her hand, enveloped by the pervasive fragrance, her heart filled with melancholy.
She was lost in thought for only a few seconds when a figure appeared in the distance. It was none other than Dongfang Yue.
She landed gracefully beside Yan Shui, sensing that her senior sister's cultivation had improved further. Just as she was about to congratulate her, she suddenly sniffed her delicate little nose, and then her expression became neurotic: "It smells so good, senior sister, what... did you bring today?"
She was suspicious, but Yan Shui quickly came to her senses and said, "It's nothing. A friend gave me a magical item for self-defense. It has a fragrance, so this should be it."
As she spoke, she took out the sachet and placed it in front of Dongfang Yue. The latter suddenly felt a chill run down her spine; her intuition told her there was something fishy going on: "Who is it? Which friend? My senior sister's friend? Don't I know them?"
Yan Shui put away the sachet and laughed upon hearing this: "I don't know everyone you know. Alright, it's nothing, let's go back."
Dongfang Yue took her arm and they started walking back together. But as they walked, she became more and more suspicious that something was amiss. Her heart was pounding, and she felt that she couldn't feel at ease until she found out the truth.
With these feelings in mind, she suddenly asked in a low voice, "Oh right, senior sister, I have a question for you."
"Have you ever thought about what kind of person you should look for as a Daoist partner in the future?"
Yan Shuiyi didn't find anything strange, assuming it was just normal chatter between fellow disciples. She looked thoughtful and murmured, "The man I'll be with in the future... uh... I haven't really thought about it..."
Dongfang Yue had intended to listen patiently, hoping to glean some clues indirectly, but Yan Shui's first words made her lose her composure: "Ah, no... Senior Sister, Senior Sister, I'm just saying that a Daoist partner doesn't necessarily have to be a man..."
Yan Shui looked clearly confused, not understanding what she was saying for a moment. She was stunned for two or three seconds before she suddenly realized and thought she understood her junior sister's implied meaning.
Then, she looked troubled: "Ah... I really hadn't considered demon cultivators before."
Clearly, when Dongfang Yue mentioned the keyword "man," she focused on the suffix "human," and then began to ponder deeply: "But... well, that makes sense, Junior Sister, you're right. Nowadays, the method of transformation is already widespread and mature, so perhaps when considering men, we shouldn't exclude all demon cultivators..."
Realizing that her senior sister had misunderstood her again, Dongfang Yue gave an awkward laugh: "No... senior sister, I... ah, never mind, never mind, it's nothing..."
