Chapter ( 29 ) Love is sweet

Zhen Chen couldn't think of anything anymore. Yu Xue Yin's love was too overwhelming—it made his heart race wildly.

He tightly embraced her delicate body.

But in reality, Zhen Chen was unable to perform as a man should. His strength had been sealed.

Cursing inwardly, he directed his frustration at Zi Mo.

At that moment, Zi Mo's playful voice rang in his mind.

"Hehe… You finally called me. I was waiting! Hold on a bit. These things can't be rushed, haha!"

Zhen Chen gritted his teeth and cursed Zi Mo again. Meanwhile, his lips trailed across Yu Xue Yin's smooth, jade-like skin.

Blushing deeply, Yu Xue Yin trembled in his arms and asked in a soft voice, "Ah-Chen… you… you're not ready yet?"

Zhen Chen's hands caressed her soft curves as he admired her flushed face.

He let out a heavy breath.

"It's not that… It's just that you look so adorable when you're shy."

"Hmph! You're enjoying this too much… I… Ah… Ahh…!"

A trembling moan escaped her lips as her body shivered. Tears welled up in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks.

Zhen Chen gently kissed her face and whispered, "Does it hurt too much, my love? I'm sorry for being too hasty. I'll be gentler."

Yu Xue Yin shook her head slightly and whispered, "It's okay… it's not your fault. It hurts, but… I like it."

Her honest words made Zhen Chen's heart race. He wanted to take her more passionately, but he restrained himself. Now was the time to be gentle.

His every movement was filled with care, and Yu Xue Yin's eyes shimmered with a mix of shyness, happiness, and excitement.

Their breathing grew heavier, the air thick with love and passion. Slowly, their heartbeats aligned, reaching a perfect harmony.

Inside the bedroom, the fragrance of love lingered in the air. It felt like the calm after a storm—soft, warm, and fulfilling.

Yu Xue Yin lay nestled against Zhen Chen's chest, her breathing slow and peaceful. A satisfied, dreamy smile graced her lips as she slept.

Zhen Chen gazed at her tenderly. Never in his life had he imagined having a woman like her.

To the world, she was proud and cold. But only he got to see this side of her—soft, affectionate, and deeply in love.

Thinking about her, his mind drifted to her uncle. A small sense of guilt crept into his heart, but it was fleeting.

Yu Xue Yin's love for him was unwavering, and no matter what choices she made, he would stand by her side.

His own family had never cared much for him, and he, in turn, didn't think much of them. He could do as he pleased. If Yu Xue Yin wished to tell their families about them, she could. If not, he wouldn't pressure her.

As Yu Xue Yin slept peacefully, a soft touch on her cheek made her stir.

Slowly, she opened her sleepy eyes—only to find Zhen Chen's handsome face leaning in for a kiss.

Blushing, she buried her face in his chest and mumbled, "Ugh… so annoying…"

Zhen Chen chuckled, gently brushing her nose.

"My dear wife, do you know what time it is? Are you hungry? Should I cook something for you?"

Yu Xue Yin lazily shook her head.

"Mmm… I just want to stay here… Don't cook."

She snuggled closer, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

Zhen Chen laughed. "Alright, alright. But why are you hiding under the blanket like that?"

Yu Xue Yin pouted, refusing to look at him.

Zhen Chen kissed her lips softly.

"Are you really not hungry?"

Before she could answer—

Gurgle.

A soft growl came from her stomach.

Yu Xue Yin froze.

Zhen Chen smirked, rubbing her flat tummy.

"Hmm… Seems like your body says otherwise."

Yu Xue Yin groaned and buried her face deeper into his chest.

"Fine! Don't cook. Let's go eat outside… But just let me stay like this a little longer."

Zhen Chen smiled, holding her petite body closer.

Love—sometimes, it was simply too sweet.

Beyond the Pacific Ocean

A beam of light shot down from the sky, stopping just above the sea. Moments later, a small spacecraft, roughly nine meters wide, emerged from the light.

The ship's top hatch opened, and a young woman in golden robes leaped out.

She hovered in the air, raised her hand slightly, and the spacecraft disappeared.

Spreading out her spiritual awareness, she instantly scanned the entire planet.

At that moment, all cultivators on Earth felt a strange disturbance in their souls.

An unknown force sent chills down their spines.

However, lower-level cultivators barely noticed the fleeting sensation.

Only those at higher levels—those at the peak of mortal cultivation—felt the wave of spiritual energy surge past them.

And they all turned toward the Pacific Ocean.

She had not concealed her power, allowing them to sense her presence.

Among them, the world's top cultivators immediately recognized the terrifying depth of her energy—it was on a cosmic level.

Realizing that a supreme being had arrived on Earth, the major cultivation factions quickly issued emergency orders:

A mighty figure has descended. Do not provoke them. Remain cautious.

Meanwhile, the golden-robed girl gracefully descended toward the sea…

The woman in the golden outfit smiled and chanted, "Found it. The location of the two marks of fate."

She then pointed her finger in the air, and a spatial rift appeared. She stepped through it and disappeared.

Zhen Chen and Yu Xue Yin left their house to go to a restaurant. Yu Xue Yin leaned on Zhen Chen's arm, walking lazily towards the car. Zhen Chen asked her, "Xue Yin, did you feel a strange spiritual wave earlier?"

"Huh? When?"

"Just now, while I was showering..."

"Ah... you naughty man, it's because of you. You're really too much."

She blushed and lightly hit Zhen Chen's arm.

Zhen Chen felt a bit embarrassed. Anyone would lose control when showering with such a beautiful new wife.

He rubbed his nose and continued, "No, seriously, I felt a wave pass through our bodies."

Yu Xue Yin tugged on Zhen Chen's arm and said shyly, "I didn't feel any wave. But I did feel like I was riding waves because of you."

Zhen Chen thought she was teasing him. Since she hadn't reached the Nascent Soul level, she might not have felt it. Plus, she was distracted by him at the time.

"Did I imagine it?" Zhen Chen wondered.

Before he could finish his thought, he saw a spatial rift open in the air above their car.

Zhen Chen quickly pushed Yu Xue Yin behind him and faced the rift.

Yu Xue Yin, startled, stared wide-eyed.

A young woman in a golden outfit slowly walked out of the rift. She looked at the two of them and said apologetically, "Oh... I'm sorry if I startled you. I'm Yuan Yuan. Are you the two who used the mark of fate?"

Zhen Chen was truly shocked. Zi Mo had said that the mark of fate belonged to someone at least at the Cosmic Formation level.

So, Zhen Chen quickly contacted Zi Mo.

"Zi Mo, is this girl at the Cosmic Formation level?"

"Yes. Late-stage Cosmic Formation..."

Zhen Chen broke out in a cold sweat. He asked Zi Mo in a panic, "Oh... I can't beat her. Can I just put her in the drawing?"

"She doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking you. What are you going to do after putting her in the drawing?"

Zhen Chen was surprised. She didn't want to fight? Then why did she come looking for them? To ask for compensation for using the mark of fate? That was possible... In this world, nothing comes for free. Zhen Chen knew that.

So, what would he have to give her to satisfy her? Zhen Chen prepared to negotiate with her as best as he could. After all, her power was overwhelming.

So, Zhen Chen put on a friendly smile and said, "Ah... yes. The two of us accidentally used the senior's mark of fate. We apologize for that, senior. Please tell us how we can make it up to you. We will do our best to compensate you."​of
