Su Weiwei and Wuchen were just about to walk back to the small courtyard to talk when Liu Yao walked over with an alluring and graceful sway. "Liu Yao congratulates the Northern Wasteland King on your victorious return. I have prepared immortal dew and spirit wine in the Mingxian Garden to celebrate our victory. Please honor us with your presence, my Lord!"
Wuchen had just returned and was eager to pour out his heart to his little fiancée. What was wrong with this blind woman? He said with displeasure to Uncle Kun, the master of Holy Sword Manor, "No need. Weiwei and I still have a lot to say to each other. You can bestow the immortal dew and spirit wine upon the soldiers to enjoy!"
The soldiers cheered, "Thank you, my Lord, for your bounty!"
Liu Yao stamped her foot, looking with jealousy as the Northern Wasteland King wrapped his arm around Su Weiwei's waist and walked away. "Father, your daughter merely admires the Northern Wasteland King. Even the Queen cannot monopolize the King!"
Uncle Kun let out a sigh. "Yao'er, tone it down. The Northern Wasteland King is cold and emotionally detached; he rarely has feelings for any woman, yet he holds this Miss Su in extremely high regard and affection, and has even proclaimed her as his Queen. You must be on good terms with Miss Su from now on!"
Liu Yao bit her lip, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Father, I refuse to believe I am inferior to that Su Weiwei."
Uncle Kun frowned. "Yao'er, do not be willful. The Northern Wasteland King is formidable in strength, and his backing forces should not be underestimated. Miss Su must have extraordinary qualities to win his favor."
Liu Yao refused to listen, however, and secretly plotted in her heart how to make Wuchen notice her.
On the other side, Wuchen and Weiwei returned to the small courtyard. Blushing, Weiwei gently pushed away Wuchen's hand. "You have had a hard journey fighting this campaign. Go and rest first."
Instead, Wuchen tightly grasped her hand and looked at her affectionately. "Weiwei, throughout this campaign, not a moment passed that I wasn't thinking of you." A stir ran through Weiwei's heart, and a flush spread across her face.
She pulled Wuchen's hand into the Karma Space. The moment they stepped inside, a rich wave of Spiritual Energy rushed toward them. Surprised and delighted that Weiwei had opened her heart to him and revealed her space, Wuchen said, "Weiwei, you..."
"Brother Wuchen, I know you also have a space, so mine won't seem novel to you either, but this Lotus Pond has the effect of replenishing Spiritual Power. You should go down and soak in it!"
Joy filled Wuchen's eyes. Although he had top-grade pills to replenish his Spiritual Power, he did not want to let down the little thing's kind intentions. He undressed and stepped into the pond. His well-built, athletic chest made Su Weiwei blush furiously. Wuchen chuckled softly; this little thing really embarrassed easily.
As Wuchen soaked in the Lotus Pond, a sudden wave of comfort and warmth washed over his body. His depleted Spiritual Power was replenished, filling him with strength, and even the blocked bottlenecks in his body loosened, with his Cultivation Base showing a tendency to rise further.
He hurriedly sat in cross-legged meditation to comprehend and break through. Little did he expect that the other half of the little thing's space would possess such miraculous pond water. His own space contained only a Bamboo House, and inside that was merely a scripture repository and an artifact-crafting room, while the outside featured only a boundary marker and the Karma Space, which extended outward into a patch of grass and foggy mountains. He guessed that the little thing's heart and his must beat as one for the two spaces to merge and be shared.
Seeing that Wuchen was concentrating on his cultivation, Weiwei decided not to disturb him and went back to the Bamboo House to continue exploring.
She first opened the alchemy room and discovered that it not only contained medical books, pill formulas, and alchemy cauldrons, but also grid after grid filled with bottles of pills—restoration pills, foundation-building pills, and beauty pills. The moment she touched the medical books and pill formulas, their contents imprinted themselves directly into her mind, as if she had studied them before, and even the steps for alchemy became deeply engrained in her mind. It was truly miraculous.
Weiwei then ran over to the artifact-crafting room and found that it not only held crafting materials, tools, and books on artifact-crafting, but also numerous swords and various magical treasures. The moment she touched those books, the knowledge and methods of artifact-crafting also imprinted themselves into her mind. Weiwei was wildly excited; this space was simply a treasure trove. She picked up a sword and tried infusing it with Spiritual Power. Instantly, the sword burst with brilliant light and formidable power, and sword techniques and stances appeared in her mind.
Just as Weiwei was immersed in the joy of exploration, a sudden disturbance echoed from outside the Bamboo House. Alert, Weiwei put away the sword and walked out of the Bamboo House. Wuchen suddenly soared out from the Lotus Pond; he had successfully broken through, and his strength had reached a higher level.
He looked at Weiwei tenderly. "Weiwei, thank you. I have broken through to the Void Refinement Stage. I can now leap and travel through space, and even comprehend the laws of time. You are truly my child of fortune."
Gazing at Wuchen's celestial posture with his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, Su Weiwei was captivated for a moment. "Congratulations, Brother Wuchen, your Cultivation Base has advanced once again."
