The most crucial step?

Zi Han heard Ye Chen's words and couldn't help but feel distracted, becoming quite uneasy.

"Are you scared?" Ye Chen was smiling exceptionally brightly, his teeth showing.

"..."

Ye Chen's smile was so charming it made Zi Han's heart flutter, and she lowered her head.

There was so much in Ye Chen's smile: a clean, pure whiteness, with a hint of mischief.

"Can you do it?" Ye Chen asked.

"No," Zi Han refused.

"I haven't even said what to do, and you already say no?" Ye Chen said.

"Anyway, it's just impossible!"

Ye Chen's smile was so mischievous, it stirred Zi Han's heart, leaving her afraid to meet his gaze.

Even though Ye Chen hadn't said what he wanted to do, Zi Han already guessed it.

The so-called crucial step was just a pretense; Ye Chen had ulterior motives for her.

Although Zi Han liked Ye Chen, doing such a thing right as they started seemed way too casual, didn't it?

"If you say no, then forget it," Ye Chen said helplessly.

"You..."

Seeing Ye Chen give up so easily left Zi Han stunned instead.

Since Ye Chen brought it up, he must really want it, but when she refused, he just gave up. It didn't make sense!

Is Ye Chen really so impatient, unwilling to persevere even a little?

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked. "You said no, so I won't force it."

"But, we just got together and you want to do such a thing, isn't that..." Zi Han was very hesitant.

The Mysterious Maiden Skill had too much influence on Zi Han, constantly disturbing her mental state, and Ye Chen's slightest emotions could affect her.

"Wanting to hold your hand is too much?" Ye Chen asked.

"Hold hands?" Zi Han was dumbfounded.

Ye Chen spoke with such seriousness that Zi Han had different thoughts, assuming he wanted... hence she refused.

But, Ye Chen said holding hands?

Zi Han felt she was too bad to think of such things, ashamed to death.

"I thought it wasn't too much, so I mentioned it. Since you're unwilling, then..." Ye Chen didn't insist but felt a bit down.

"Ye Chen, I'm sorry."

Zi Han realized her misunderstanding, walked over, and took Ye Chen's large hand.

Ye Chen being pulled by Zi Han, grinned radiantly, finally getting his wish.

In this moment of silence outweighing sound, Ye Chen held Zi Han's small hand, guiding her gently forward, creating the perfect atmosphere.

"Already together so quickly?"

From afar, Qing Ge saw them holding hands, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

The Mysterious Maiden Skill is peculiar, capable of affecting a cultivator, causing emotional turmoil and falling in love.

However, Zi Han's situation is quite unusual as she has her heart set on that mysterious figure!

So, even with Qing Ge's gradual persuasion, she still felt a bit uneasy, fearing Zi Han might suddenly awaken and stick to her heart.

Yet, Qing Ge's gradual persuasion surprisingly led Zi Han to truly accept Ye Chen, and now even hold hands... it seemed too smooth!

"Zi Han can't forget that mysterious figure, now influenced by the Mysterious Maiden Skill, she should be more enchanted."

"Yet, with the mysterious figure's presence, Zi Han actually fell for Ye Chen and got with him..."

The existence of that mysterious figure disrupted Qing Ge's plan, nearly rendering her efforts in vain.

Even if Qing Ge skillfully persuaded Zi Han, she kept worrying, afraid of unexpected changes.

However, things went remarkably smoothly, with Zi Han not thinking of the mysterious figure and directly accepting Ye Chen.

With Ye Chen and Zi Han together, Qing Ge, having completed her task, fulfilled her promise.

Yet, the smoothness of it all left Qing Ge suspicious. Something seemed off, but she couldn't pinpoint what.

"No matter," Qing Ge thought to herself. "As long as Ye Chen achieves his wish, then the promise fulfilled cuts off fate, freeing me!"

The urgent task for Qing Ge was to sever fate and no longer be a vessel.

"Even though Ye Chen swore an oath with me, Yu Jizi is difficult to deal with. If I return to my original universe, I'm afraid a confrontation is inevitable!"

"Simply cutting off fate isn't enough; I also need to reach the Heavenly Tao Domain to truly change destiny!"

Qing Ge is a clever woman, fully aware of her needs and what she must do.

As long as Ye Chen cuts off fate and she ascends to the Heavenly Tao Realm, she can change her destiny.

Moreover, Qing Ge holds resentment toward Yu Jizi, and upon reaching the Heavenly Tao Domain, she plans to seek revenge on him.

"Immortal Elixir!"

Qing Ge has already reached the limit of transcendence, just one step away from Heaven, yet taking that step is exceedingly difficult.

However, the Immortal Elixir is about to mature, and as soon as Qing Ge obtains it, she can reach the heavens in one step.

Seven more days passed.

The Immortal Elixir continually transforms, reaching the final moment, ready to mature at any time.

Qing Ge kept her eyes on the Immortal Elixir, ready to capture it as soon as it matured.

Ye Chen and Zi Han strolled hand in hand, confiding in each other along the way, their relationship growing stronger.

Ye Chen had too many techniques for wooing, and with Zi Han being emotionally naive, how could she ever compete?

Thus, Zi Han completely fell, following Ye Chen all day, resembling a small woman without a shred of a strong persona.

"Ye Chen, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."

Beside a small stream, the two stopped to rest, and Zi Han asked Ye Chen.

"Cultivating to my level, I wouldn't feel hungry even without eating for a thousand years, what need is there for food?" Ye Chen laughed.

Ever since being with him, Zi Han became increasingly feminine, her every move captivating.

"I just want to care about you," Zi Han said sweetly.

Emotions are truly mysterious, transforming one entirely, and Zi Han changed so much.

In the past, Zi Han focused solely on cultivation, never allowing herself worldly desires or distractions.

Yet, after being with Ye Chen, Zi Han immersed herself in happiness, leaving no room for cultivation.

In fact, she nearly forgot the Immortal Elixir, not caring one bit.

"Do you care about me that much?" Ye Chen asked.

"Mm, just care about you!" Influenced by the Mysterious Maiden Skill, Zi Han loved fiercely, without a care in the world.

"Then why not agree?" Ye Chen said.

"..." Zi Han heard these words, and her heart tightened, is it happening again?

Since getting together, their progress has been rapid, no longer limited to holding hands, sometimes even hugging.

In fact, Ye Chen made a request yesterday that left Zi Han's heart in turmoil again.

"Don't you want to give yourself to me?" Ye Chen held Zi Han's small hand, looking into her eyes as he asked.

"I do," Zi Han said. "But, I'm not ready yet."

"When will you be ready?" Ye Chen asked.

"Maybe a million years later," Zi Han thought and replied.
