The first ray of morning light falls on Zhou Yuan.

It also falls on Ji Xiu and Feng Huang's faces.

At this moment, there are traces of tears on Feng Huang's beautiful face, as well as a faint blush after joy.

A gentle breeze blows by.

Feng Huang slowly opens her eyes, looks up at the clear sky, and after a moment, memories of last night flood into her mind like a tide.

At this moment, she suddenly turns her head to look at the sleeping Ji Xiu, her expression freezing, and her throat rolling.

"I...how could I be like this last night!!!"

Feng Huang's beautiful eyes widen, filled with disbelief and a hint of confusion.

If the memories weren't real, she would suspect that what happened last night was just a dream.

She has never had any expectations or thoughts about matters between men and women.

But now, as she looks at the shattered pieces of golden armor on the ground, she can't help but take a cold breath.

"Damn it!"

"Have I been possessed by a demon?"

Feng Huang's voice trembles at this moment, and her protective armor is broken.

After a moment, she trembles as she tries to get up...

But the newly bloomed flower has experienced a night of storms.

How can she still stand?

Ah!

With a painful groan, Feng Huang's legs give way, and she falls directly into Ji Xiu's embrace.

The scent of jasmine fills the air.

Ji Xiu slowly wakes up.

At the same time, a crisp system prompt sounds in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the True Phoenix Essence. Your cultivation has advanced to the Monarch Rank Sixth Realm!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the True Phoenix Essence. Your cultivation has advanced to the Monarch Rank Seventh Realm!]

Listening to the system prompts in his ears, Ji Xiu opens his eyes.

At this moment, his gaze meets Feng Huang's, and they can even hear each other's breaths.

"You..."

"What do you want again?"

Ji Xiu looks at Feng Huang seriously and asks.

"You..."

"You scoundrel!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Huang glares fiercely at Ji Xiu, a blush rising on her cheeks and climbing up to her ears.

"Some people may seem...like a high and mighty princess, the future empress of the empire!"

"But in reality..."

Ji Xiu smiles lightly but doesn't finish his words.

"Shut up!"

Feng Huang places a jade finger on Ji Xiu's lips, her current state filled with both shame and anger, glaring at Ji Xiu...

As if she's ready to fight him if he dares to say anything.

"Fine!"

"If you don't want to say it, then don't!"

Ji Xiu shakes his head indifferently, then lazily rests his head on his hands, his gaze quietly fixed on the clear sky.

It has to be said that what happened last night was indeed beyond his expectations.

Of course, he has to admit that it was indeed a wonderful experience.

In addition, he personally confirmed that Feng Huang now possesses both the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix and the True Phoenix Essence.

So, after that passionate and crazy night, the Immortal Devouring Demonic Technique was able to absorb a considerable amount of True Phoenix Essence, and his cultivation was able to complete a double breakthrough!

Phew!

When Feng Huang sees Ji Xiu shutting up, she takes a deep breath, endures the pain, slowly gets up, and takes out a set of Phoenix Palace robes from her storage ring, covering herself with it.

Then, without looking back, she speaks.

"Ji Xiu!"

"Let's treat what happened last night."

"As a dream."

"Forget about it."

"Both you and me."

Hmm?

Ji Xiu, hearing this, looks at the figure in front of him, who has regained her noble and cold appearance, with a playful look.

Then, he shrugs and casually puts on a black robe, saying,

"It doesn't matter."

"Do whatever you want!"

You!!!

Upon hearing this, Feng Huang suddenly feels an inexplicable anger surging up, and she turns around to glare at Ji Xiu, scolding,

"Ji Xiu!"

"What's your attitude!"

Huh?

Ji Xiu looks at Feng Huang with a puzzled expression.

He thinks, didn't he just say what Feng Huang wanted him to say?

Now, why is this woman angry again?

"You...are such a scoundrel!"

Feng Huang angrily curses, her clenched jade fist trembling inexplicably.

Just then, a figure appears.

"Cough cough cough!"

"You two...are you going to fight again?"

Ning Xiyan calmly looks at the confrontational Ji Xiu and Feng Huang and asks.

Last night...she truly had her eyes opened.

So much so that she had to stay away from Ji Xiu and Feng Huang to calm the slightly restless blood in her body.

And now, seeing Ji Xiu and Feng Huang with the air of drawing their swords to face each other, she jokingly speaks to ease the icy atmosphere between them.

"It's over!"

"Let's leave Zhou Yuan!"

Ji Xiu casually responds.

"It's over!"

Feng Huang's voice is cold.

"A woman who's inexplicable."

Ji Xiu looks at the icy Feng Huang and shakes his head.

Then he turned around and looked at the clear sky in Zhouyuan, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

Clang!!!

Ji Xiu raised his hand and made a sudden slash towards the vast sky.

Boom!!!

A sound of earth-shattering explosion echoed in their ears.

A ray of frozen dawn, as if cutting through the boundary between yin and yang, appeared in the sky, leaving a black crack.

The sky in Zhouyuan seemed like a curtain, cut open by a black crack.

Threads of ethereal divine light fell like a sudden rain from the black crack onto Ji Xiu and the other two.

"It's just as I expected."

"Enter Zhouyuan."

"Only by comprehending the Two-Splitting Sword Technique can we leave."

"Zhou Dufu has truly put a lot of thought into this."

Ji Xiu spoke softly.

"Hmph!"

"No need for you to say."

"I already know."

Feng Huang snorted lightly.

"So this is how you all get along now?"

"At night, it's one way, and during the day, it's another."

Ning Xiyan teased with a playful tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, a teleportation array appeared under the feet of Ji Xiu, Feng Huang, and Ning Xiyan.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The teleportation array emitted a divine light, and then the three of them disappeared within Zhouyuan.

At this moment, Zhouyuan once again fell into darkness, even the wind stopped, returning to the silent dark world.

.......................

The scene shifted.

Ji Xiu and the other two found themselves back in the imperial palace.

"Your Highness."

"You've finally returned!"

Wei Lao let out a sigh of relief. When he saw Ji Xiu, he finally let go of the worry that had been hanging over him.

"Yes."

"Where were you transported to for the past ten hours?"

Mu Xuanyin also looked at Ji Xiu with surprise.

"Ten hours?"

Ji Xiu heard the key point in the question.

If he remembered correctly, they had been in Zhou Dufu's Zhouyuan for at least ten days!

"If only ten hours have passed outside."

"But ten days have passed inside Zhouyuan."

"Then there is only one explanation, the time in Zhouyuan is much slower than the outside world!"

Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He thought to himself, if he could have his own Zhouyuan... that would be perfect.

"Stop thinking about it."

"The small world of Zhouyuan can only be created by the powerful Great Emperors."

"You are far from that."

Feng Huang immediately saw through Ji Xiu's thoughts and mocked him mercilessly.

"What?"

"If this prince has such a world in the future."

"Do you plan to come again?"

Ji Xiu looked at Feng Huang with a playful expression.

Upon hearing this, Feng Huang was stunned for three seconds before realizing the meaning behind Ji Xiu's words.

Her face turned red, and she avoided Ji Xiu's gaze as she softly said, "Dream on!"

Huh?

Mu Xuanyin found Feng Huang's behavior a bit strange.

Before, Feng Huang had a deep hatred for Ji Xiu.

But now, Feng Huang's attitude towards Ji Xiu seemed to have made a 180-degree turn.

Although on the surface, Feng Huang still showed a lot of hostility towards Ji Xiu.

But Mu Xuanyin could sense a subtle difference between the two.

She even observed that Feng Huang couldn't meet Ji Xiu's eyes at the moment.

As if Feng Huang had done something wrong!

Her woman's intuition told her that something must have happened between Ji Xiu and Feng Huang!

"Your Highness Ji Xiu!"

"When you create a small world in the future!"

"I'll come!"

"Miss and Sister Yue will come too!"

Xue Guniang said with a cute smile to Ji Xiu.

Ahem!

Ji Xiu felt a bit embarrassed when he heard this.

If they all came, he wouldn't be able to handle it!

"You fool!"

Feng Huang saw the change in Ji Xiu's expression and couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"Let's go..."

"Leave this place."

"We've got what we came for."

"It's time to return to the capital!"

Ji Xiu ignored Feng Huang and spoke with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing these words, Wei Lao, Mu Xuanyin, and Xue Guniang all had a momentary pause.

Ji Xiu meant that they had obtained the Two-Splitting Sword Technique!

For a moment, they all felt excited!

This trip to Zhouyuan was truly fruitful.

Of course... what they didn't know was that not only did they obtain the Two-Splitting Sword Technique, but Ji Xiu seemed to have obtained some other things as well.
