Wuchen slowly drew closer to Weiwei, holding her tight as he whispered with a smile, "Weiwei, I am fond of you. Do you like me?"
Weiwei's heart pounded wildly. Hearing the confession from the man before her who looked like a celestial being, a wave of joy washed over her. Shyly, she said, "Brother Wuchen treats me so well, cares for me so dearly, and is so breathtakingly handsome that I think I am gradually falling for you."
Hearing this, Wuchen was overjoyed beyond measure. The little thing had finally accepted him and even developed feelings for him. His heart, frozen for a millennium, melted with the warmth of spring snow. He gently lifted Weiwei's chin and kissed her long-awaited, sweet cherry lips, sending a jolt of electricity through both of their bodies.
As they immersed themselves in this sweet and lingering embrace, a sudden disturbance echoed from outside the Space. Wuchen snapped his eyes open and vigilantly pulled Weiwei behind him to protect her.
Outside the Space, a gigantic Demonic Beast was frantically smashing against the small courtyard. Beiyi and Beier were fighting desperately to kill it. Its eyes were bloodshot, radiating a brutal aura. Its entire body was covered in sharp spikes, and each impact shook the ground. Weiwei's face turned pale as she tightly grabbed the hem of Wuchen's robe.
"Don't be afraid, I am here," Wuchen comforted her softly while channeling his Spiritual Power, preparing for the impending crisis. Just then, the Demonic Beast suddenly opened its mouth, shooting a beam of black energy toward the Space. Wuchen swiftly cast a spell, forming a transparent barrier in front of them. The energy beam crashed into the barrier, bursting into a blinding glare.
Looking at Wuchen's resolute back, Weiwei's heart was filled with complete trust. She brought Wuchen out of the Space. Seeing that its attack had missed, the Demonic Beast launched an even more frenzied assault.
Wuchen frowned slightly, pondering a strategy to defeat the enemy. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of a plan, and he began setting up a formation within the small courtyard, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Demonic Beast.
Seeing Wuchen set up the formation, Weiwei did not remain idle either. She mobilized the Spiritual Power within her body, condensing it into streams of ice blades that shot toward the Demonic Beast. The ice blades tore through the air, yet they only left shallow marks on the beast's body.
Enraged, the Demonic Beast roared and charged at Weiwei. Just as it was about to pounce upon her, the formation Wuchen had set up suddenly flared to life, and a powerful suction force pulled the beast inside. Struggling within the formation, the Demonic Beast smashed its body spikes repeatedly against the formation walls.
Wuchen formed hand seals, causing the light of the formation to blaze brilliantly as it began to compress the beast's body. The Demonic Beast howled in agony, black energy leaking out from within it.
Seizing the opportunity, Weiwei condensed an even more powerful ice blade and viciously drove it into the beast's vital spot. The Demonic Beast's movements gradually slowed down, and finally, it melted into a pool of bloody slush within the formation.
Beiyi and Beier also breathed sighs of relief, walking over with exhausted bodies. Wuchen walked up to Weiwei and gently gathered her into his arms. "It's alright. With me here, I won't let you come to any harm."
Leaning against Wuchen's embrace and feeling his warmth, Weiwei wore a blissful smile on her face. She filled two small vials of Spirit Spring Water from the Space and gave them to Beiyi and Beier. After drinking the Spirit Spring Water, their depleted Spiritual Power was fully restored. Gratefully, they knelt to express their gratitude, and Wuchen waved his hand to dismiss them.
"Weiwei, on this Cultivation Continent, not everyone possesses a heaven-defying Space like yours. Even storage pouches are extremely precious. In the future, do not casually display anything related to your Space in front of others, especially the Spirit Spring Water. I am afraid greedy people might try to seize the treasure and pose a threat to you!" Wuchen said to Weiwei with a serious expression.
"I understand, Brother Wuchen. From now on, I will only let you know about any secrets I have!" Weiwei knew that Wuchen was concerned for her safety.
"Mhm, good girl. For the rest of my life, I will keep you safe and sound." Wuchen pulled the lovely maiden before him into his arms, savoring their mutual affection.
Having experienced this battle, their bond seemed to have deepened even further.
