----------------------------------------------------

The grand battle in the skies above the Lan Clan was witnessed by countless eyes, impossible to conceal.

In a single day, the news spread across the Ice Heaven Continent.

Yan Clan leader Yan Yue Qi, the Twin Moon Fairy ranked Top 10 on the Golden Earth Ranking, stormed the Lan Clan, clashing with Clan Leader Lan Po Lei and the Nine Great Elders. She departed triumphantly, leaving the Lan Clan in ruins.

Only now did the continent's powerhouses grasp the terror of a Top 10 Golden Earth Ranking cultivator invincible at their level, dominating multiple foes with such ferocity. Her charisma left countless men restless.

Yet, unbeknownst to many, including Lan Po Lei, a chilling truth remained hidden.

In that battle, Yan Yue Qi hadn't used her full strength.

Indeed, facing ten opponents, she fought at only Late Void Refinement cultivation.

Her mastery of two Strange Flames enabled her to fight beyond her level, amplified by the Thunder Fire Mysterious Art. Had she unleashed her Peak Void Refinement cultivation, half the Lan Clan elders might have perished.

Each minor realm in Void Refinement was a chasm, especially for a powerhouse like Yan Yue Qi.

Of course, prodigies like Lan An were exceptions.

Only a trusted few knew of Yan Yue Qi's Peak Void Refinement breakthrough. Top cultivators always hid trump cards, and suppressing her cultivation was one of hers.

Atop a towering peak, Yan Yue Qi exhaled deeply, her rage subsiding.

In her haughty phoenix eyes, the silhouette of a young man flickered.

"This time, I've spurred you to grow faster. Ten years is too long… this seat won't wait," she murmured softly, a hint of shyness in her sigh.

With that, her peerless figure vanished.

No one saw the faint blush on her usually proud face.

Within the Spirit Realm Pearl…

Before the Nan Meng Palace on the second tier…

Qin Meng Ying preferred not to share space with Yan Yue Qi.

Lan An was unaware of the woman shaking the continent for his sake.

He lounged on a massive branch of the Palace Court Tree, cushioned by soft clouds like a plush quilt, delightfully elastic.

Qin Meng Ying nestled in his arms, letting him occasionally caress her.

Lan An inhaled her natural fragrance, whispering playfully, "Meng Ying, a spring night is worth a thousand gold. Should we…?"

"Hmph, you'll have me sooner or later. Why so eager?" Qin Meng Ying huffed, her sweet, coy tone melting Lan An's bones.

"Didn't you say you'd wait until I'm stronger to claim you as my wife?" Lan An teased, stroking her silky hair.

"Haha, by then, that vixen might devour you, bones and all…" Qin Meng Ying shot him a sidelong glance.

Initially, her pride demanded he surpass her before claiming her, a vow made in Spirit Martial City.

But circumstances had shifted her resolve. Beyond Yan Yue Qi, even Ji Ye in seclusion rivaled her.

The women around him grew ever more exceptional.

This sparked a flicker of insecurity in Qin Meng Ying, fearing delay might cost her this man especially seeing the Qi Nan Palace on the third tier.

Lan An sensed her thoughts, turning her to face him, gazing earnestly into her eyes. "You're a fairy in countless hearts. To earn your favor is my eight lifetimes' fortune. Even if you flee, I'll bring you back."

"Smooth talker…" Qin Meng Ying's heart sweetened, though she glared outwardly.

Lan An chuckled, "My tongue's not just smooth it's sweet. Want a taste?"

"Rogue… mmph!"

Before she could finish, her rosy lips were sealed.

Lan An gently savored her soft lips, tenderly kissing.

Qin Meng Ying was already smitten, knowing she'd give herself to him eventually. With the others in seclusion, he was hers alone.

She boldly extended her sweet, moist tongue, inviting him.

Lan An couldn't resist, his tongue entwining hers, their kiss deepening.

The kiss grew fervent, their breaths quickening. Lan An pressed her onto the clouds mid-air.

"Little An, let's go inside the palace!" Qin Meng Ying broke the kiss, pleading.

"Good treasure, it's just us in this world. I want to love you here, creating our most beautiful memory!" Lan An's hand grazed her full breasts, kneading gently.

She wore the Dream Heart Robe he'd gifted, its sleek, stretchy fabric clinging to her skin, cool and delightful to touch.

"Mmm…" Qin Meng Ying couldn't refuse. Lan An produced a wine jug, took a swig, then locked lips with her again.

Prying open her pearly teeth, he passed the wine into her mouth.

Qin Meng Ying melted under his skilled touch, the wine rich yet sweetened by love. They shared it, swallowing in unison.

"Meng Ying… treasure…" Lan An nibbled her sensitive earlobe, still caressing her breast.

"Mmm, what, darling?" Qin Meng Ying arched, whispering.

"I love you… deeply… whether you're breathtaking or plain…" He poured honeyed words.

"Then love me already!" Qin Meng Ying moaned, her angelic face now laced with allure.

Lan An, as if dosed with an aphrodisiac, swiftly shed her clothes.

Time froze before her radiant beauty.

Her flawless back, curves ethereal and luminous, perfection balanced—any excess or lack would ruin this masterpiece.

Qin Meng Ying lay bare on the clouds, a fallen fairy, shyly shielding herself.

One arm crossed her ample breasts, barely covering her erect nipples.

Her other hand rested over her exquisite mound, concealing the dark, dewy patch.

Beyond it lay a woman's most sacred treasure.

Lan An gazed, entranced by her bashfulness. Her figure wasn't as voluptuous as Yan Yue Qi's, nor her waist as slender as Ji Qing Ni's.

Yet her form was perfect, every part harmonizing with her frame, nature's masterpiece.

"Still staring? Am I not beautiful?" Qin Meng Ying pouted, coyly.

Lan An snapped back, smiling gently, "You're so stunning, I'm lost. I want to savor all of you!"

"What are you waiting for? Come!" Qin Meng Ying took a deep breath, parting her shielding hands.

Gasp…

Lan An's blood surged, diving to capture a budding nipple.

It felt like tasting the world's rarest gem, her rosy nipple vibrant with a virgin's purity.

He licked one side tenderly, his skilled hand tending the other, occasionally teasing her nipple, making Qin Meng Ying shiver, her breaths ragged from her enchanting lips.

Lan An relished her breasts, alternating between them.

His free hand roamed her body, reveling in her cloud-soft skin.

"It's itchy… hmph…" Qin Meng Ying moaned instinctively.

"Treasure, you're divine!" Lan An reluctantly left her breasts, praising, then explored further.

He kissed her swan-like neck, his tongue dancing, wet sounds echoing.

Qin Meng Ying, new to a man's touch, felt ablaze, her sacred place soaked, clinging to his waist, letting him savor her precious body.

Lan An left no inch untouched, his tongue leaving her skin flushed wherever it roamed.

His skilled tongue traced the ravine between her breasts, eliciting a squeal from Qin Meng Ying, her first climax.

Seeing her pant, her thighs slick, he teased, "So sensitive!"

He continued, licking every part her armpits, belly, thighs, even her jade-like fingers and toes, serving them devotedly.

"I'm dying… ugh… my feet… dirty…" Qin Meng Ying moaned brokenly, eyes shut, gasping.

"Clean and fragrant, yet you call them dirty? Watch your husband punish you!" Lan An grinned wickedly, parting her legs.

He dove, tongue sweeping from her rosy rear to her pearl.

"Ah, you'll kill me… that's dirty… aren't you repulsed… sob…" Qin Meng Ying quaked, fluids splashing.

Lan An greedily swallowed, parting her rosy lips.

"Gorgeous…" he couldn't help but praise.

Her most secret flower captivated him.

Soft lips fringed with delicate black strands, a tiny red pearl gleaming above, and a tight, wet passage within, folds shyly nestled together.

All a pristine pink, irresistibly alluring.

Lan An pressed his mouth to her core, tongue probing, tasting her unique essence.

No common feminine musk cultivators needed no excretion, making their sacred places exquisitely fragrant, embodying their distinct allure.

"Ecstasy… heavens… I'm dying of bliss…" Qin Meng Ying felt her nerves overload, lost in moans and pleasure.

Lan An channeled spiritual energy, his clothes bursting.

His chiseled, naked form emerged, his proud, veined member standing tall, thrilling Qin Meng Ying's senses.

He slid up, his fluid-slicked lips claiming hers, tangling their tongues to distract her.

Below, his member aligned with her entrance, rubbing her lips to lubricate, easing entry into her tight passage.

"It's too big… I'm scared…" Qin Meng Ying, like a timid girl, eyed his member fearfully, transmitting her voice as her lips were sealed.

"Be good. This place will bear our children. I must stretch it…" Lan An soothed gently.

Qin Meng Ying nodded shyly, whispering, "Be gentle!"

"Trust me, you'll soon feel bliss…" Lan An felt his member sufficiently slick, positioning its head at her entrance.

Qin Meng Ying shut her eyes, lying back on the clouds.

Finally, Lan An eased forward.

"Hmph!"

They groaned together he from pleasure, she from pain.

Qin Meng Ying's willow brows furrowed.

Lan An, sensing her discomfort, knew to act swiftly.

Bracing, he thrust deeply.

Pop…

A faint sound, the thin barrier breached, blood trickling down her jade thighs.

"It hurts…" Tears welled in Qin Meng Ying's eyes, gazing at him pitifully.

The sensation of being filled overwhelmed her.

Lan An inhaled deeply, savoring her tight warmth.

Her passage gripped him fiercely, its warm, slick folds electrifying.

He leaned down, licking her tears, keeping his member still inside her.

"Tell me when the pain fades. Your husband will make you soar… we're one now, no shame…" Lan An brushed her hair aside tenderly.

"Do you cherish them like this too?" Qin Meng Ying caressed his face, her eyes brimming with affection.

Having chosen this man, she harbored no regrets.

Two years ago, their brief encounter in Spirit Martial City stole her heart.

He was the first to see beyond her plain guise, treating her with true sincerity.

"They're my second lives. Who else would I love?" Lan An kissed her noble brow.

"It doesn't hurt anymore…" Qin Meng Ying turned aside, mumbling.

Lan An smiled, grasping her waist, moving gently.

"Mmm… it's heavenly, like floating on clouds…" Qin Meng Ying smiled, instinctively swaying her hips, relishing their fused souls and bodies.

"Shall I go harder?" He nibbled her nipple.

"Yes, I'm yours… play as you wish…" Qin Meng Ying said coyly.

Lan An, as if ignited, thrust rhythmically.

Slap slap slap…

Flesh met flesh, her breasts swaying, lips biting a finger, throat humming with delight.

Lan An laughed, lifting her, pressing her back against the Palace Court Tree's trunk, her legs around his waist, as he stood, thrusting into her.

In this position, they gazed lovingly, her heart softening at his empty eye socket, striving to please him fully.

"Treasure, you're perfect… I want to fill you forever…" Lan An gasped, plunging into her.

"Ugh, I'm in bliss… so good, darling… I'm yours… take me anytime…" Qin Meng Ying leaned against the tree, moaning ecstatically.

Slap slap slap…

They coupled, gazing at the Spirit Realm Pearl's vast beauty, their souls soaring.

"What does our home lack? Your husband will fulfill you…" Lan An asked, smiling.

"It's a paradise, but it needs seas, mountains, flower fields… a moon, a sun, four seasons… I want a complete world for our family…" Qin Meng Ying smiled dreamily.

"I'll grant it, treasure!" Lan An sealed her sweet lips.

At that moment, the long-silent System chimed:

"Ding, Legendary Quest [Five Elements Mini-World] activated. Success grants one Bloodline Summon, one Physique Summon, one Cultivation Art Summon, one Beast Egg Summon… no deadline, no failure penalty…"
