Time hurriedly passed by.

The space inside the Qiankun Ruyi Bag was not small, but it lacked the sun, moon, and stars, so Yu Yuan didn't know exactly how much time had passed.

He only knew that Fairy Miao Yuan was extremely clingy, taking the initiative instinctively by using dual cultivation divine power.

Generally speaking, the path of dual cultivation emphasizes the mutual benefit of Yin and Yang for both parties.

But that is under the condition that both parties have similar Dao Xing realms or the practitioner consciously guides the process.

At this moment, Fairy Miao Yuan, being a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, undoubtedly possessed a much deeper Dao Xing than Yu Yuan and was also blinded by desire, forcibly turning the righteous path of dual cultivation into a gathering and replenishing technique.

This was far more formidable than Bai Ling!

In terms of the efficiency of gathering and replenishing, a hundred Bai Lings could not compare to her.

Or rather, what Bai Ling could do a hundred times, she could achieve in one go.

As the lust stirred by the Miao Yu Demon Fire in Fairy Miao Yuan was undoubtedly not something that could be extinguished in one or two instances, Yu Yuan's life essence was continuously gathered and replenished by her; he also completely let down his defenses and actively cooperated with her gathering and replenishing technique.

As time passed, his Primordial Spirit, Mana, Essence Qi, Spiritual Energy, etc., all experienced substantial enhancement.

"Ding!"

The Chaos Bell lightly shook, unleashing a magnificent force to suppress the Miao Yu Demon Fire.

Simultaneously, his body exuded a glowing raidance from inside out, his golden vital energy surged tumultuously, swirling around him like flames, making him appear like a divine being, heroic and extraordinary.

The Miao Yu Demon Fire that originally enveloped the two of them was also gradually refined by the golden light, even the demon fire that invaded deep into Fairy Miao Yuan's Primordial Spirit could not escape.

Because their lives and spirits were intertwined, their physical and Spiritual forms became unified as one.

Both of their bodies emitted Divine Light, with golden light misty and coiling around, their flesh appearing almost translucent like glass, immaculate and flawless.

Under the suppression of the Chaos Bell and the refining of the golden light, the Miao Yu Demon Fire enveloping them was gradually eradicated and refined.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Fairy Miao Yuan, with bones like divine jade and skin like autumn water, finally regained her senses.

At this moment, her entire body was drenched in sweat, both in essence and physique she felt languid and tender, her body and mind immensely satisfied, to the point she didn't even want to move her fingers.

Regarding everything that had just happened, she had a complete memory.

And she deeply knew that she was able to escape from the Miao Yu Demon Fire all thanks to Yu Yuan.

What surprised her even more was that she gained immense benefits from the dual cultivation, while Yu Yuan still appeared full of vigor, causing her to briefly wonder who exactly had gathered and replenished whom.

"Ding!"

Just then, Yu Yuan abruptly made his move, using the Chaos Bell to suppress her Primordial Spirit as traces of Divine Thought transformed into Treasure Seals, brandishing towards her Primordial Spirit to imprint.

"You..."

Fairy Miao Yuan exclaimed, but was powerless to struggle, suppressed by the Chaos Bell.

As the Divine Thought Treasure Seal landed, indelible imprints were left on her Primordial Spirit — uniquely belonging to Yu Yuan.

"You... bastard!"

Fury and unwillingness covered Fairy Miao Yuan's beautiful face.

But it was all too late.

For immortals, having a Primordial Spirit marked was akin to having a "remote-controlled bomb" implanted in a mortal's brain, which could destroy her Primordial Spirit at a mere thought from the opponent.

Of course, this required the imprint's master to be sufficiently powerful.

And Yu Yuan was clearly powerful enough.

One could say, once imprinted, her life was entirely in his hands.

This was also why Fairy Miao Yuan initially wanted to imprint Yu Yuan's Primordial Spirit, aiming to subjugate him as a servant.

But she did not expect that in the end, it was she who was imprinted by him.

"I would rather die than be your servant!"

Once the Chaos Bell receded, Fairy Miao Yuan immediately withdrew her Primordial Spirit and slowly stood up, her expression cold and solemn, her eyes flashing with a fierce chill.

After the passions subsided, her rosy and delicate skin regained its pristine and crystalline luster, her ravaged graceful body remained perfectly flawless, unabashedly exposed under Yu Yuan's gaze.

Yu Yuan glanced at her and remarked appreciatively, "A full belly indeed brings out one's boldness."

Fairy Miao Yuan understood the implication in his words, her face blushing slightly, perhaps recalling the previously unrestrained scene.

But after all, being a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, she quickly calmed down and said with a serious tone, "I can pretend this incident never happened. From now on, you and I will stay out of each other's way..."

"Hold on, you're speaking as if you're the victim, have you forgotten who set the trap in the first place?" Yu Yuan said sarcastically, "If we're talking about victims, shouldn't it be me? I was unknowingly gathered and replenished by you so many times..."

"That Miao Yu Demon Fire has nothing to do with me!" Fairy Miao Yuan couldn't help but rage.

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "If not you, then who?"

"It's..."

Hearing Yu Yuan mention the Miao Yu Demon Fire, Fairy Miao Yuan also realized.

The current situation was all caused by that Miao Yu Demon Fire!

And the origin of the Miao Yu Demon Fire, likely had something to do with Bai Ze who had disappeared without showing up again!

Such a demon fire, which should have been extinguished in the Ancient Times, could probably only be found by Bai Ze who 'knows everything under the heavens.'

At this thought, she was immediately filled with regret.

Knowing full well that the fellow was a ruthless and shameless character, yet she still chose to take the risk to help him.

But this guy really is shameless and vicious!

He didn't covet that treasure at all, but rather wanted to put Yu Yuan to death—sinking into the sea of desires, True Spirit dissipating, leaving only an empty shell, which is practically no different from being dead.

And in this conspiracy, her role was merely that of a bait!

That shameless Bai Ze never cared about her life or death!

No, perhaps her death would be even more beneficial for him!

With this thought, Fairy Miao Yuan felt even colder in her heart.

"I will look into this matter and provide you with an explanation later!"

She uttered coldly, waving her hand lightly, and suddenly, a long white dress appeared on her, covering her ravaged yet perfectly flawless enticing body anew.

Yu Yuan's gaze flickered, pondering thoughtfully, "It seems you have been plotted against as well... Perhaps you could share your suspicions, I might have a better way to make the person plotting against us pay."

"No need for your pretentious benevolence, the person who plotted against me will pay," Fairy Miao Yuan said coldly.

"Doesn't saying that make us feel alienated?" Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth slightly curled upward, "Although we have only met twice, as the saying goes, 'In marriage a day pairs a couple for a hundred days of grace,' and we have been together for more than just a day…"

Fairy Miao Yuan couldn't help but clench her fists, wishing she could plant a few slaps on that frivolous face of his.

Because of what Yu Yuan had just said, she recalled the moment when they were undressed, melding like water and milk.

It was not merely for more than a day, but rather, she had transformed into a marrow-sucking she-beast, longing to devour Yu Yuan alive.

Just recalling that scene now made her feel a mix of shame and horror.

If it hadn't been for Yu Yuan helping her refine the Miao Yu Demon Fire, she might have truly sunk into the sea of desires, becoming a mere female beast that knows only mating.

Upon this thought, the reproach she was about to unleash was held back.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the ripples in her heart, and said solemnly, "There's no need for your concern, I can handle it myself!"

Seeing her insistence, Yu Yuan said no more, only pulling out a Kun Character Bronze Mirror and handing it over, "That person also plotted against me. If you pinpoint the target, let me know, I would also like to vent some anger."

He could tell that Fairy Miao Yuan was not protecting the mastermind behind the scenes but believed in her strength being sufficient, without needing anyone else's help.

Especially avoiding Yu Yuan's help was something she was eager to do.

After what had just happened between them, she wasn't ready to face Yu Yuan.

She needed time to calm down and reassess.

Similarly, Yu Yuan hadn't anticipated such an event.

The intimate contact had softened their previously semi-hostile relationship into something rather ambiguous.

For such a mighty Quasi-Saint, Yu Yuan felt some desire to pull her into his camp.

However, such matters clearly couldn't be rushed; both sides needed time to adjust.

Looking at the bronze mirror handed over by Yu Yuan, Fairy Miao Yuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately accepted it, then vanished with a flicker from the Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

Yu Yuan followed suit.

The Immortal Palace was silent, and night had fallen again.

A bright full moon hung high, casting a silver radiance that flooded the entire Tao Palace Secret Realm with a hazy light.

"Who's there?"

Fairy Miao Yuan's expression turned cold, her gaze sweeping outside the hall.

Through the crystal windows, she saw a handsome young man clad in a wide robe with large sleeves, looking over with surprise.

"Don't get agitated, it's my martial uncle."

Yu Yuan stopped Fairy Miao Yuan who was about to take action, then flashed outside the hall, looking at Yun Xiao saying, "Thank you, martial uncle, for protecting me!"

"Cough cough!"

Yun Xiao's face reddened slightly, somewhat embarrassedly said, "It's good that you're alright, it was my foolish suggestion…"

Yu Yuan hurriedly interrupted, "It's not martial uncle's fault, it was my carelessness that allowed others to take advantage."

"Bang!"

A dull thud sounded from inside the Immortal Palace, like something such as a table had hit the wall.

"What about...my master?"

Yu Yuan asked somewhat nervously.

He remembered that his master, Golden Spirit Saint Mother, had also been here. If not for her, he probably would not have awakened so quickly.

Yun Xiao glanced towards the Immortal Palace, huffed slightly, and said, "After she confirmed you were safe, she left. She just left not long ago, said she wanted to investigate this matter and asked me and you to head to Longevity Mountain first."

Yu Yuan frowned slightly, asking in a low voice, "Maybe master discovered some clues?"

Yun Xiao shook his head, "I don't know about that. You know, your master is quite fearsome when she's angry, I didn't dare to ask much."

"Martial uncle feels the same way?!"

Yu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie.

"Cough cough!"

Yun Xiao quickly changed the subject, looking at Yu Yuan and saying, "We should set off for Longevity Mountain, tomorrow is the Ginsengfruit assembly."

"Tomorrow?" Yu Yuan was surprised, "Isn't it still a month away? Has the Ginsengfruit assembly been moved up?"

Yun Xiao's face reddened again, murmuring, "You've been inside for a month already!"

Yu Yuan: "…"

Fairy Miao Yuan: "…"
