How Could I Have Such Filthy Thoughts...

"It's time to sleep..."

With his soul power withdrawn from the star realm, Gu Fei slowly turned around as if nothing had happened earlier. He then went directly to Xiao Yi Xian's room.

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you asleep?"

Gu Fei asked softly, but there was no response from inside the room. However, he noticed that the door wasn't closed but merely ajar. Realizing this, a slight smile appeared on his face as he walked in.

Inside, Xiao Yi Xian wasn't asleep. Ever since the two of them had taken their relationship to the next level, she had already regarded Gu Fei as her one and only for life. Realizing it was him entering, she quickly shut her eyes, her heart pounding rapidly.

"Are you really asleep?"

Gu Fei approached the bed, looking at the woman lying there with her eyes tightly shut, and asked again. He could clearly hear Xiao Yi Xian's accelerated heartbeat and breathing, making it obvious that she was pretending to sleep. That deliberately unclosed door was left for him on purpose.

"Already asleep? Well, alright then!"

"You rest well!"

Gu Fei's lips curled into a slight smile as he pretended to turn away. But just then, a slender, snow-white arm shot out from under the covers and grabbed him.

"I wasn't sleeping; I was waiting for you!" came a soft, delicate voice from Xiao Yi Xian, her face instantly blushing as she pulled the blanket up, hiding her head beneath it.

"You little vixen, since you're not coming out, I'll join you in there!"

Gu Fei smoothly slipped under the blanket, discarding his clothes as he went, and set up a barrier in the room to isolate them. The warmth under the covers was palpable, and as their skin touched, Gu Fei felt as if their souls were merging together.

Before long, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly intimate.

"It's so hot..."

At one point, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly kicked the blanket away, leaving their two young bodies, completely uncovered, tightly entwined.

Xiao Yi Xian has experienced feelings of joy, emotion value +100

Queen Medusa has experienced feelings of shame and anger, emotion value +100

At that moment, a small, colorful snake slithered from the foot of the bed to a corner of the room. In its seven-colored eyes, there seemed to be a hint of disdain.

Gu Fei was so focused on the task at hand that he automatically filtered out all other distractions, completely ignoring the system notifications.

"Damn it, how dare he humiliate me like this? Just wait until I..."

Inside the colorful snake, Queen Medusa's soul was silently cursing Gu Fei. But Gu Fei couldn't hear any of it. Despite her anger, Queen Medusa didn't dare act out because she knew that Gu Fei's strength was such that he could crush her with a single finger.

Moreover, after witnessing Gu Fei and Xiao Yi Xian's interactions several times, Queen Medusa couldn't seem to shake those images from her mind. Although she had always thought such things were disgusting, that night, as she listened to the intimate sounds from nearby, she found herself having some strange thoughts.

"No, how could I have such filthy thoughts..." Queen Medusa's soul fiercely resisted those thoughts, secretly vowing to escape Gu Fei's clutches as soon as possible.

The next day, around noon, Gu Fei finally got up. After tucking Xiao Yi Xian in, he dressed himself and casually placed the somewhat dejected and resentful little snake into his sleeve. As he stepped out of the room, he noticed Qing Lin standing not far from the door.

Qing Lin smiled slightly, "Big Brother Gu Fei, you're up! Where's Sister Xiao Yi Xian? Why hasn't she come out yet..."

Hearing the girl's question, Gu Fei felt a bit embarrassed and vaguely replied, "She's still a bit tired and resting..."

"It's already noon, and Sister Xiao Yi Xian is still tired after sleeping so long! Did you stay up all night practicing?" Qing Lin wondered aloud, puzzled.

"Practicing all night..."

Gu Fei found her words a bit awkward and, not wanting to dwell on the topic, quickly found an excuse to walk away. He then sought out Lion King and Venerable Tian Huo, instructing them to protect Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian. With Yao Tian Huo's strenght, he could be considered a formidable figure even in the Holy Pill City.

As for Gu Fei, he intended to visit the Pill Tower in the Inner Region and meet some important people.

...

The Pill Tower was located in the center of the Holy Pill City's Inner Region, a place considered a holy land in the hearts of countless alchemists. Upon entering the Inner Region, the noisy clamor significantly diminished as Gu Fei stepped through the city gates.

The Inner Region of the Holy Pill City was generally reserved for those with connections to the Pill Tower or high-ranking alchemists, so its quality far surpassed that of the Outer Region.

As he set foot in the Inner Region, Gu Fei lifted his gaze, and his eyes settled on the center of the Inner Region. There, a towering black tower, nearly a hundred meters high, stood imposingly, like a small mountain, exuding an aura of majestic grandeur.

The tower's pinnacle pierced the clouds, making it nearly impossible to see the top, and the swirling mist around it added an air of mystery.

"So, that's the Pill Tower..."

Looking at the towering black structure that seemed like a pillar holding up the sky, Gu Fei's face showed a hint of awe.

This time, Gu Fei had come with the intention of directly meeting the Pill Tower's top figures to express his desire to try and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, curious about what conditions the Pill Tower might set.

The area around the Pill Tower was heavily guarded, so as Gu Fei approached, he fully released his aura, revealing his status as a strong individual to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I would like to request a meeting with the Three Association Heads of the Pill Tower," Gu Fei stated directly.

"This man's aura is strong, perhaps even stronger than Elder Sheng. Could he be a Dou Venerate?"

"A Dou Venerate this young? How is that possible?"

At this moment, the guards did not underestimate him, noticing the powerful aura Gu Fei was emanating.

"The Three Association Heads are very busy, and we cannot guarantee they will meet you!"

"Notify the Elder," the lead guard said seriously.

Although Gu Fei had shown the aura of a Dou Venerate, it wasn't enough to make these Pill Tower guards fearful, as they were confident that no one would dare cause trouble at the Pill Tower.

"Thank you!" Gu Fei smiled.

After a short while, an elder in a white robe emerged from the Pill Tower and approached. Judging by his cultivation, he seemed to be a Two-Star Dou Venerate.

"Greetings, Elder Li!"

As the elder arrived, the surrounding guards respectfully saluted him.

"So, it really is the aura of a Dou Venerate!"

The elder examined Gu Fei carefully, his eyes filled with surprise. He had never seen someone so young with such a high level of cultivation. Although Elder Li also suspected that Gu Fei might not be as young as he appeared, he couldn't detect anything unusual about him.
