Xīn Yán Last Part
It's uncertain why Luo Changsheng felt tolerant towards the woman at that moment, maybe finding it amusing. However, if her drawings didn't meet his standards, he might have even thought about violently punishing her.
Despite having scars and injuries before, the woman's body now appeared rejuvenated, revealing a youthful figure of approximately eighteen years old. Her hair, which used to be untidy, was now vibrant and silky. Her eyes, previously blind, gleamed brightly like a clear sky. Her lips were luscious and resembled beautiful pink jade.
The energy emanating from the pills had ripped apart her clothes, exposing a stunning figure that resembled fine jade, with curves in all the right places.
Luo Changsheng, being a respectable individual, sealed his senses as soon as he realized what was happening.
Keeping his eyes shut, he instructed her, "There is a Spirit Spring in the adjacent chamber. Please use it to freshen up." He then turned around to give her some privacy.
Spirit Springs were highly valued water sources that contained spiritual energy. In her world, only major clans possessed them, and only the most elite members were allowed to cultivate in them for a few hours each year. However, for Luo Changsheng, it was merely a bathwater.
"I don't have any clothes...Young Master," Xīn Yán said, realizing she was still unclothed. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she hastily ran away without looking back to thank her rescuer.
Once she entered the Spirit Spring, she cleansed herself of all the dirt and grime. While she was bobbing in and out of the water, the door suddenly opened, and a set of women's clothing dropped in.
For several days, a strange rumor had been circulating within the Holy Eaves Sect that suggested Young Master Changsheng might have defected to the other side.
-------------------------------------------
As Luo Changsheng waited for Xīn Yán to arrive, he carefully examined the brush in his hand.
Upon seeing him, Xīn Yán knelt down and greeted the young man, who was dressed in somber grey attire that made him appear lonely and despondent. This was the same man who had commanded an old man to kill everyone at the auction house.
Undoubtedly, he held an exceptionally high rank, but Xīn Yán, being blind and taken directly to his residence, was unaware of his exact status. Nobody even knew of her arrival or exit, which meant that if she were to be killed here, nobody would even know.
"Thank you for your assistance, Young Master," Xīn Yán expressed her gratitude.
Despite her fear of the man in front of her, Xīn Yán expressed her gratitude once more. Although she was blind, profound practitioners had the ability to heal their eyes. However, with the resources available in the Lower Realm, it could take her years to do so. Moreover, considering that she had been treated as a commodity, she could have lost her life if the young man had not intervened.
"It's fine. Now that you're feeling better, show me what you.....," Luo Changsheng said, turning around. But before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by what he saw.
The woman had delicate, egg-shaped features that gave her an ethereal quality. Her skin was smooth and flawless, with a soft glow that seemed to radiate from within. Her hair was a stunning cascade of waves that fell in soft tendrils around her face, the color a rich chestnut brown with highlights that shimmered in the light. Her lips were a soft shade of pink, full and perfectly shaped, giving her an alluring and sensual appearance. Overall, she exuded a natural beauty that was both captivating and timeless.
She appears to resemble a fairy from the ninth heaven in the white attire she is adorned with.
"Young Master?" Xin Yan's attempt to capture Luo Changsheng's attention was unsuccessful.
--------------------------------------------
On the day before Yun Che's tribulation.
Despite Xīn Yán's objections, Luo Changsheng carried her to her room and gently placed her on a bed filled with profound crystals and spirit herbs. "Yán'er, please refrain from wandering around, it's not good for your health" he said with a loving and caring expression in his eyes.
Observing the man before her whose eyes were filled with affection and concern, Xīn Yán blushed involuntarily.
"Young Master..." Xīn Yán was aware of the reason why she should not move around.
After a moment of silence, Xīn Yán asked Luo Changsheng, "Young Master, did you emerge victorious in the Profound God Convention?"
Today was supposed to be the final day of the Profound God Convention, culminating in the grand finale fight for the Coffered God Battle. Due to her frail body, Xīn Yán was unable to leave her current location and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Luo Changsheng turned away from Xīn Yán and spoke with a voice filled with hatred, "No, the fight has been postponed for three days, and that coward Yun Che didn't show up! I swear I will make him pay for humiliating me!"
Xīn Yán felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched Luo Changsheng's hatred-filled outburst. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, "Young Master, what is the reason for Yun Che not showing up to the fight?"
"He claims to still be recovering from his injuries, but I call that bullshit! The Eternal God Emperor even granted him more Time Wheel Pearls to aid in his so-called recovery! He's just a coward," Luo Changsheng exclaimed through gritted teeth.
"Did the Eternal Heaven God Emperor also grant Time Wheel Pearls to Young..." Xīn Yán began to ask before being interrupted by a fit of coughs that caused her to cough up blood.
"Yán'er!" Luo Changsheng exclaimed in panic as he supported her trembling body. He infused her weak body with more spiritual power until her face regained its color. He also carefully ensured that all of the profound crystals that had lost their power were replaced.
"Did the Eternal Heaven God Emperor also grant..." Xīn Yán asked again.
"Yes, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor also granted me Time Wheel Pearls - five, just like Yun Che," Luo Changsheng replied before she even finished asking.
"Then... Young Master... Are you planning to use them?" Xīn Yán asked the man before her with love and concern. It pained her to see him, who had been so gentle with her, now speaking with such hatred.
"I... I can't wait. Even three days is already too long for me. If I were to use a Time Wheel Pearl, I might as well just die!" Luo Changsheng's words were still filled with hatred.
Xīn Yán's heart filled with pain as she spoke up. "Young Master... Do you still remember what happened at Lightning Wolf's Valley?"
Suddenly, Luo Changsheng's heart filled with hatred was cooled by a bucket of cold water. How could he forget? It was the very reason why Xīn Yán was in her current state! It was his fault! All because he couldn't wait.
As she watched the man in front of her finally awaken from his hatred, Xīn Yán said, "Then can you please wait, Young Master? Since you have the Time Wheel Pearls, can you please use them?"
"I... Yes," Luo Changsheng agreed, watching the woman in front of him with eyes filled with love and expectation.
"It would be best if you did that, Young Master. And please try to let go of your hatred, it's not good for you,"
Xīn Yán spoke with determination before she settled back into her bed and drifted off to sleep.
As Luo Changsheng watched her peaceful slumber, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and pain for the hatred that had consumed him. "I will try to let go of my hatred, Yán'er," he muttered to himself before leaving the room.
It was surprising to see the once proud and powerful Young Master Luo display such a vulnerable side, but it was evident that his feelings for Xīn Yán had softened him. He knew that he had to make amends for his past mistakes and seek guidance from his master, Luo Guxie. With this in mind, he set off to see her.
------------------------------------------
Luo Guxie was taken aback by Luo Changsheng's sudden appearance, as he should have been resting or accompanying someone. "Changsheng, what brings you here?" she asked in surprise.
"Master, I wish to enter the Holy Eaves's Heavenly Land. I plan to use Time Wheel Pearls for cultivation," Luo Changsheng replied.
There was a moment of silence as Luo Guxie processed his request. Finally, she spoke in a serious tone, "Come with me."

Huo Rulie had already asked Yan Wancang ten times whether the lightning was actually tribulation lightning, and he asked again, "Sect Master Yan, are you absolutely sure about this?"
"....."
Yan Wancang affirmed once more that it was indeed tribulation lightning in response to Huo Rulie's question. However, Yan Juehai continued to express his disbelief, saying, "IT JUST NOT POSSIBLE!"
For a while now, the trio had been engaged in a heated argument, standing at the border of the God Burying Inferno Prison.
Once they confirmed that the world was not ending and the sky had cleared, Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai left the other disciples with the elders and hurried back to the Flame God Realm. Throughout the journey, they continued to argue about the same topic they were currently debating.
"IT JUST NOT POSSIBLE I SAID" Yan Juehai repeated his statement for the eleventh time, expressing his belief that it was impossible.
"You could easily verify the truth by asking any member of the Flame God Realm!" Yan Wancang suggested.
As Yan Juehai and Yan Wancang continued to argue, Huo Rulie found himself lost in thought, contemplating... the location of the lightning tribulation.... at the bottom of the Inferno Prison. Suddenly, a figure came to his mind like a bolt of lightning.
"IT JUST NOT POSSIBLE!!!" Once again, Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai shouted out in disbelief, each with a different interpretation of the situation. Exhausted with their constant arguing, Yan Wancang finally gave up and exclaimed, "I give up on you two! FUCK YOU!"
The three sect masters almost came to blows.
