Tang Xiao didn't leave, even after hours had passed since Ning Ruoyan entered meditation.
First—he needed silence.
The secret of Ning Ruoyan's impending martial soul evolution could not be leaked yet.
Of course, when the time came, he would absolutely let the world know.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolving into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a world-shaking event. One that he fully intended to claim credit for—
and, through her, possibly take partial—if not complete—control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's vast wealth.
But now was not the time.
The reaction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was unpredictable.
With his current strength, Tang Xiao didn't fear Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo—neither had reached Super Douluo yet.
However, Spirit Hall was already eyeing his sect.
At this sensitive moment, revealing Ning Ruoyan's changes would only invite covetous gazes from all sides.
Always guard against every possibility.
That was a principle Tang Xiao never allowed himself to forget.
Who knew how Ning Fengzhi would react?
He might assume Tang Xiao had obtained some heaven-and-earth treasure and start harboring ulterior thoughts. If he wanted to reap benefits, he might even secretly stir Spirit Hall against Tang Xiao—without ever revealing his own involvement.
The probability was extremely low.
But it existed.
And that was enough.
So Tang Xiao needed to first obtain his ninth soul ring.
Once he did, his combat power would soar to the heavens.
Not only that—his innate domain, belonging to his current evolved, super-level Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, would awaken. Tang Xiao had a strong premonition: once that domain manifested, his combat power—combined with the Great Sumeru Hammer Technique—would not be inferior to a level 96 attack-type Titled Douluo.
If he used the ring detonation technique, he might even reach level 97 and above.
Who else could possess such heaven-defying combat power immediately after reaching the Titled Douluo realm?
Only him.
Only someone with so many opportunities perfectly aligned.
And to reach that level… he only needed to wait a few more months.
After that, he wouldn't need to stay restrained about anything.
So for now—patience was acceptable.

Ning Ruoyan took four hours to fully digest the immortal herb.
During that time, her soul power broke through three times consecutively, finally stabilizing at level 75.
When she finally opened her eyes—filled with shock and delight—Tang Xiao greeted her with an evil grin.
Ning Ruoyan knew exactly what that grin meant.
She wanted to stop him.
She wanted to first examine the changes in her body.
She could feel them—profound, countless changes. She wanted to understand them, to confirm her doubts with Tang Xiao.
But how could Tang Xiao allow that?
He still had preparations to finish. Preparations meant to completely fool her about the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
To do that—
He had to fuck her senseless again.
He pounced on her directly, displaying his animalistic nature without restraint.
And then—
Yes.
His holy dragon began wreaking havoc in her swollen pussy.
…
He only stopped once he felt Ning Ruoyan had already lost consciousness.
Only after calling the maid to clean the room, taking a bath himself, and returning—did he help Ning Ruoyan wake and finally check her changes.

"Husband… this… this… my martial soul evolved?"
Ning Ruoyan sat on the bed, her body loosely wrapped in a bedsheet. Her pale skin glistened with sweat and exhaustion. At the corner of her lips, faint traces of milk remained—the remnants of what she had drunk from Tang Xiao's dragon.
Her face was filled with shock, disbelief, and overwhelming ecstasy as she stared at the nine-story pagoda in her hand.
After Tang Xiao woke her, acting mysterious, she summoned her martial soul under his guidance.
One.
Two.
Three…
Eight.
Nine.
Exactly nine towers.
She wasn't dreaming.
Her martial soul had evolved.
But how?
Before she could think further, Tang Xiao stopped her.
"Ruoyan… you know about my martial soul evolution, right?" he said gently, his voice bewitching.
"Yes, husband… I know," she replied without hesitation.
"You were born an innate genius—unprecedented in history."
Tang Xiao smiled.
"Yes. When my martial soul awakened at six years old, I also awakened another divine power—something I was born with. But until recently, it remained sealed due to my physical limitations."
"..."
"...."
"Whenever I fucked you, I transferred small portions of that divine power into you—bit by bit. I wanted to remove your innate deficiencies and help evolve your martial soul. But I couldn't give it all at once. Your physique wouldn't have been able to endure it—it would have destroyed you."
Tang Xiao continued, delivering the carefully crafted fabrication with flawless internal logic.
"So I found you this magical herb. It could increase soul power and elevate strength without side effects. Once you reached level 75, I finally transferred the required divine power into you—through my seed."
"That's what triggered your martial soul evolution."
After a long explanation, Tang Xiao finished his nonsense.
Ning Ruoyan's eyes immediately reddened.
She was touched—touched beyond words.
My husband… he truly cares for me.
He even fought a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for my sake.
He didn't even use his remaining divine power to strengthen himself—he gave it all to me…
She believed everything.
Completely.
She felt incredibly fortunate. This marriage must have been the result of immeasurable good karma accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Seeing her moist eyes and overflowing love—so thick it felt tangible—Tang Xiao's scalp tingled.
Before she could pounce on him, he placed a hand on her forehead and pushed her away.
"Go take a bath first," he said irritably.
He had just taken one.
"Yes, yes—right away!"
She nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, then hurried off with her maid, smiling brightly. She wanted to bathe quickly and then thank him properly—with her immeasurable love and heart.
Watching her leave, Tang Xiao shook his head with a faint smile.
Those in love were truly easy to handle.
It wasn't that he couldn't trust her.
She had already proven her loyalty by plucking the Yearning Heartbroken Red. He could tell her everything if he wished.
But he didn't want to.
If she knew that her martial soul evolution came solely from the immortal herb, there was still a chance she might connect it to his own evolution and stumble upon the truth.
Even if she kept it secret—
Tang Xiao didn't want anyone else to know.
Not even his wife.
In everyone's eyes, he had to be an unparalleled innate genius—someone bornextraordinary, not someone who relied on external treasures.
No exceptions.
And by fabricating this explanation, he also claimed complete credit for Ning Ruoyan's evolution.
All because he fucked her.
The entire world would believe that was the reason.
And when other beautiful women learned of it…
Wouldn't they spread their legs willingly and beg just to be fucked by him?
He achieved all his goals.
So why not lie?
Tang Xiao laughed, deeply satisfied with his own wisdom.
Transmigrating into this body, he had achieved everything through relentless effort and hard work...
Cough....Cough...
