Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Taixu Ancient Dragon Essence Blood”Alright, you two young lovebirds, cultivate your relationship. It’s best if you quickly give me a child to play with!”

”I’m quite good at raising children!”

Old Monster Lin left the training room with a smile.

Only Shen Wen and Cao Ying remained.

Shen Wen looked at Cao Ying. Although he had lost control earlier, his memories were still intact, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.

He had sworn he wouldn’t touch Cao Ying, yet he ended up taking her first kiss.

Oh, for heaven’s sake!

The key was that he had almost completely lost his rationality at the time, not even enjoying a bit of the experience.

That was an even greater loss.

Shen Wen mumbled, ”I’m sorry!”

Regardless of the reason, Shen Wen had been too impulsive, so an apology was only natural.

Cao Ying, who had been shy, heard Shen Wen’s apology and her red lips curved slightly.

But she quickly composed herself.

Her charming eyes coldly stared at Shen Wen. ”Consider it my dowry! But don’t you dare do it again!”

She naturally didn’t blame Shen Wen. Although she was startled at first, if not for Shen Wen’s unusual state later...

She actually quite enjoyed it.

But she couldn’t tell Shen Wen this thought. This guy had forcefully kissed her without any feelings.

Who knew what he would do if she said she enjoyed it a little?

”It won’t happen again.”

Shen Wen waved his hand.

When Cao Ying heard Shen Wen’s words, her pretty face immediately turned cold.

What did he mean, ’it won’t happen again’?

”You’d better not!”

Cao Ying snorted coldly.

After speaking, she turned and left. She was worried that if she listened to this blockhead any longer, her chest would explode from anger!

Looking at Cao Ying’s suddenly cold face and her unhesitatingly departing back, Shen Wen was a bit bewildered.

”What... happened again?”

He muttered to himself, subconsciously touching his lips, where a trace of warmth and stinging sensation seemed to linger.

”Did I say something wrong?”

He carefully recalled his words and attitude just now.

He had sincerely apologized and promised not to be presumptuous again.

In his view, this was a sign of respect for her and also to avoid ruining the favorability that had finally increased to 15%.

After all, the temptation of the system’s rewards and the pressure of confronting Hun Tiandi in the future both required him to treat his relationship with Cao Ying cautiously.

”A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea...”

Shen Wen sighed. Combining his two lives, past and present, his romantic experience was a complete blank.

In his previous life, he was busy making a living; in this life, he buried himself in cultivation. He was truly lacking in experience when it came to dealing with girls, especially a clever demoness like Cao Ying.

He used to be able to flirt with Cao Ying.

That was because they had no relationship before.

But who made him lose control and kiss Cao Ying? It made him unable to be as carefree as before.

Being carefree came from having a clear conscience.

But if he felt guilty, how could he be carefree?

If he couldn’t figure it out, he would temporarily stop thinking about it.

The most urgent task was to improve his strength.

Shen Wen composed himself and refocused his attention on himself. He sat cross-legged, introspecting, carefully sensing the changes brought by the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

The layer of azure dragon-patterned membrane under his skin was incredibly tough, containing astonishing power.

He tried to circulate the cultivation method; his blood surged like a river, faintly accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar, and a powerful sense of strength filled his limbs and bones.

”Azure Dragon Skin is just the beginning; later there’s Azure Dragon Scales, Azure Dragon Body... and even transforming into an Ancient Celestial Dragon!” A fervent light flashed in Shen Wen’s eyes.

”If I can cultivate it to great perfection, relying solely on my physical body, I might be able to shake heaven and earth. Then, what the hell is there to fear from Hun Tiandi!”

”At that time, I’ll also follow Lin Dong’s example!”

”Hun Tiandi, I am Shen Wen! Take this Azure Dragon Claw!”

Shen Wen couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of such a scene.

He then immersed himself in the martial arts techniques attached to the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

These martial arts were not independent Dou Techniques but complemented the cultivation method itself, allowing the physical body’s strength to be exerted to its utmost.

Every move and stance contained the dragon’s dominance and majesty... On the other side, Cao Ying almost stomped back to their new residence in the Pill Tower in a fit of rage.

”Bang!”

She slammed the door shut, leaning against it, her chest rising and falling slightly. Her stunningly charming face was now filled with indignation.

”It won’t happen again?”

She gritted her silver teeth, repeating Shen Wen’s words in a low voice, ”He said it so decisively! As if kissing me was some unbearable ordeal!”

Who was Cao Ying?

The Demoness of the Cao Family, one of the most dazzling geniuses of the younger generation in the Pill Tower. Her appearance, talent, and family background were all top-tier.

In the Central Plains, countless young talents flocked to her, eager to gain even a hint of her favor.

But Shen Wen! He used information about an unusual flame to ’trick’ her into marriage, offered precious betrothal gifts that she couldn’t refuse, and on their wedding night... 霸道地奪走了她的初吻.

He domineeringly took her first kiss.

Although the process was more startling than surprising, it was... it was her first kiss after all!

Moreover, his pained and aggressive appearance when his cultivation went awry later, as well as the strange dragon patterns that appeared on his muscular body, left her restless.

She had thought that after that night, their relationship would at least be somewhat different.

Even if they were only husband and wife in name, there should at least be some ambiguous ripples.

But what happened?

His single sentence, ”It won’t happen again.”

Completely negated that subtle feeling that had just begun to sprout, a feeling even she herself might not have clearly recognized!

”Am I, Cao Ying, really that unattractive?”

This thought uncontrollably surfaced, making Cao Ying even more vexed.

She looked down at her curvaceous figure, then touched her smooth, delicate cheek, doubting her charm for the first time.

”Hmph! Who cares!” she stubbornly retorted, walking to the table and sitting down.

She took out the jade slip containing the Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi, trying to calm her agitated mood with cultivation.

”Since you don’t want to, that’s fine! I’m happy to have peace and quiet! The real priority is to quickly cultivate this method and then go find the Green Lotus Core Flame!”

Despite saying this, Cao Ying found it difficult to fully calm down over the next three days.

She deliberately didn’t return to the new house, instead staying at the Cao family’s villa in Pill City or going to the family’s alchemy room.

But neither the familiar medicine cauldron nor the valuable alchemical formulas seemed to hold their usual appeal.

Shen Wen’s figure would constantly flash through her mind.

The way he seriously explained cultivation methods, his teasing smile, his fierce appearance when groaning in pain.

And that damnable frankness when he promised, ”It won’t happen again!”

”That damned blockhead!”

On the evening of the third day, Cao Ying finally couldn’t help but throw the alchemy scripture in her hand onto the table.

Her exquisite face was full of vexation. ”Cultivate! Cultivate! All he knows is cultivate! Serves him right to be a bachelor his whole life!”

”Hmph hmph!”

”It’s not like I’m going to go find him, right...?”

”Actually, it’s not impossible. Of course, I’d be going to ask him for advice on alchemy, after all, he’s also a Seventh-Rank Alchemist!”

”I’m not trying to see him!”

”It seems there’s still a bottle of tai xu ancient dragon essence blood at home. After all, asking others for advice requires compensation, otherwise, where would an Alchemist’s dignity be!”

I’m just upholding the dignity of Alchemists!”

Cao Ying grumbled under her breath, then got up and headed towards the Cao family’s treasure vault.
