A Quiet Night

After their passionate embrace, the two of them turned to the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue and bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you for all you've done, Senior. I'll repay you to the best of my abilities!" Xu Xiaolan expressed her gratitude with a firm expression.

"Don't be silly. I can't ask for repayment from juniors like you. Besides, I didn't do much anyway. All I did was initiate the process. Your precise bloodline transfusion technique, your hidden True Dragon Bloodline, and the true blood essence of the Vermilion Bird were the real keys to the restoration of your Dao foundation." The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue stroked his beard with a pleased smile.

The Purple-Gold Bell sounded again, and the space around them warped and changed.

Everyone arrived back in Xu Xiaolan's courtyard, yet the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue was nowhere to be seen.
