"An Zhen~"
The elegant black dress, like a serene and mysterious night, outlined her mature and alluring body curves, like a dancing butterfly. Below the knee-length skirt, her slender yet shapely calves, accentuated by sheer black stockings, were an irresistible temptation. Her opaque black crystal high heels seemed to step on every boy's heart.
A woman adorns herself for her admirer.
"Sister?"
Bei Bei looked as if he had seen something incredible, his usually refined face now filled with surprise.
Her captivating face was still as gentle and serene as Bei Bei remembered, but now it held a different kind of charm. Her bright smile was like the still water of an ancient well suddenly coming alive.
It was the first time Bei Bei had seen Sister, who was like an elder sister and mother to him, dressed so beautifully. Even her face, which he remembered never having worn makeup, now had a light lip tint.
"What do you think?"
An Zhen's eyes lit up as he looked at the alluring senior with long black hair in front of him, but he didn't directly answer Zhang Lexuan.
The beauty's jade arm linked with An Zhen's, and her hips, along with part of her ample thigh, settled onto An Zhen's lap. A familiar fragrance wafted to An Zhen's nose, and the softness that made An Zhen linger recalled beautiful memories.
"Mm."
Her red lips sealed An Zhen's mouth.
A French kiss.
Sakura Keke, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya, who were standing by, were dumbfounded.
While kissing, Zhang Lexuan extended her slender fingers to take the "making friends" envelope from the stunned Sakura Keke's hand.
A moment later.
"Xiao Ya, Bei Bei."
With crystal clear saliva on her lips and a flushed face, Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly to the two. The girl who wanted to make friends had already left.
Bei Bei had previously introduced Tang Ya to his sworn sister, Zhang Lexuan.
"Sister, what's going on with you two?" Tang Ya was bewildered.
Whether it was their first meeting or subsequent ones, Zhang Lexuan had always given her the impression of a gentle and serene, yet seemingly unreachable, Moon Goddess—a perfect and powerful female figure. Even now, she remained an idol in Tang Ya's heart.
But now…
The perfect woman in her heart was so intimate with this scumbag, An Zhen.
"My relationship with An Zhen is as you see. We started dating two months after school began last year," Zhang Lexuan explained softly. After a moment's thought, Zhang Lexuan added, "I know An Zhen has other girlfriends. They are all very good girls, and An Zhen and I get along very well."
She was An Zhen's first woman.
"Congratulations."
Bei Bei said with sincere tone.
Although he was somewhat surprised by this sudden scene, he truly hoped that his elder sister, who had, to some extent, replaced his mother, would have a good outcome.
An Zhen didn't speak, but the reaction of his body, pressed by Zhang Lexuan, brought a blush to the elder sister's face. However, this slight change was not obvious for Zhang Lexuan, who was already beaming with joy.
"Is senior thinking something strange?"
An Zhen's soul voice sounded in Zhang Lexuan's ear. One hand naturally moved to the skirt over her ample, beautiful thigh, while the other arm intimately embraced Zhang Lexuan's body.
"Not here."
A shy voice, enveloped by spirit power, entered An Zhen's ear.
An Zhen still had a sense of propriety and didn't do anything else. After all, they were outside now, and he wouldn't go so far as to bully this elder sister. Only he could appreciate the senior's most enchanting appearance.
"So, does this Sect Master have to call you Brother-in-law?" Tang Ya was speechless. What was going on? Whether counting from Elder Mu or Sister, this guy's seniority was higher than hers.
"You can also call me Grand Ancestor."
As an elder, An Zhen was very magnanimous.
"Damn it!"
The delicate young girl waved her fair fists.
He was taking advantage of her again.
"Let's go." An Zhen had finished eating; now it was time to feed the senior.
"Mm."
The senior with long black hair stood up, without a word, and like a virtuous wife and loving mother, tidied up the dishes and cutlery An Zhen had just used.
"Bei Bei."
For the sake of the teacher, a little reminder.
"Huh?" The refined young man looked at his newly emerged brother-in-law.
An Zhen's clear voice carried a hint of profound meaning, "I've replicated Tang Ya's Spirit. Watch over her and don't let her use the hidden power within her Spirit."
Bei Bei was somewhat puzzled, looking at the girl in his arms, only to see that the usually lively girl's face instantly turned pale upon hearing An Zhen's words.
Bei Bei's gentle smile faded, replaced by a serious and earnest expression, "Xiao Ya, are you hiding something from me?"
…
An Zhen's dorm.
"Is there something wrong with Xiao Ya's Spirit?"
Her dark hair cascaded down, the buttons on her chest like a bow, waiting for someone to unwrap this enticing gift.
"It hides a power that can devour the Life force of living beings."
An Zhen's gaze fell on Zhang Lexuan's black-stockinged feet in high heels. It seemed fine even if they weren't removed. He flipped the senior over so she was facing away from him.
Zhang Lexuan felt somewhat strange. Her forearms supported her ample, mature body, her face buried in the pillow, as if that time's inner demon Reflection was now reality. It was the same beautiful black dress, black stockings, and this time even high heels, all after receiving Bei Bei's blessings.
But this time, it wasn't that strange feeling from before, but rather a sense of daze, as if events were repeating, but the present was no longer the past.
Wonderful.
An Zhen exclaimed.
Compared to Tianmeng Iceworm, that chubby worm, every part of Zhang Lexuan's fullness and maturity was just right; she had both the youthful elder sister vibe and the feeling of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"An Zhen~"
A shy, somewhat trembling voice sounded.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm in my safe period today."
Oh? Counting the days, indeed.
An Zhen's hand rose and fell.
Starting with the senior's favorite part.
"Slap!"
"!"
After a bout of pleasure.
"What's the harvest?"
"The Soul Core successfully condensed, and my spirit power increased by two ranks, to eighty-eighth rank."
Due to Elder Xuan, she encountered a 100,000-year Spirit Beast after getting separated, reaching eighty-fourth rank after absorbing its spirit ring and Spirit Bone. Then, after resting on Sea God Island and a period of cultivation, she reached eighty-sixth rank. Now, after obtaining the Star Luo Spiritual Pearl and condensing her Soul Core, she has reached eighty-eighth rank, only two ranks away from Titled Douluo, a mere step away.
On a large bed, the gentle black-haired beauty gazed at the young man in her arms with eyes full of tenderness, recounting the gains from her seclusion.
"Senior."
"Hmm?"
"Do you remember when you asked me if you were one of my seven girlfriends?"
An Zhen lifted his head, his dark eyes gazing at the beauty he adored, "This question isn't about me, but about you."
"You grew up in Shrek, Ning Tian grew up in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. I don't care if you have a great family you want to protect in your hearts. And the teacher has already initiated the Sea God Pavilion meeting. Once I possess Titled Douluo level combat power, I will be able to assume the position of Sea God Pavilion Master."
After all, they also had family. An Zhen couldn't force his girlfriends to love him more than they loved their parents. This was similar to the question, "If your mother and I both fell into the water, who would you save first?" which was intentionally tormenting.
But also because of this stance, An Zhen wouldn't tell them too many things.
An Zhen's hand moved from Zhang Lexuan's chest, cupping the senior's face with both hands, "The key is whether you have our small family in your heart."
"Yes."
Her red lips parted slightly, without a hint of hesitation. Zhang Lexuan's clear, pure eyes met An Zhen's gaze, her affection seemingly overflowing.
An Zhen always felt their relationship was a bit strange.
Nearly eight or nine months of being together last year.
They had already been intimate countless times, and their daily interactions were very harmonious; basically, one action would reveal what the other intended to do next. However, their daily conversations weren't extensive, and sometimes the improper conversations were even more frequent, giving a sense of not finding common topics.
Zhang Lexuan mostly asked about what food he liked or what clothes he preferred, all everyday matters. Regarding cultivation issues, he would actively ask, and Zhang Lexuan would teach.
Was it because of the conflict that happened before?
Or was it because Zhang Lexuan's personality was inherently this serene?
An Zhen hoped it was the latter.
"Le Xuan."
"Continue?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"It's so good to have you."
Perfect wife.
Whether it was meals or other aspects of service, Zhang Lexuan did everything very well. She had no complaints about her man flirting outside; she would only prepare delicious food, put on an outfit that excited An Zhen, and wait for An Zhen to return. She was obedient to all of An Zhen's requests and ideas.
An Zhen's heart wasn't made of iron; even if it were ice, staying in the elder sister's arms for so long should have melted it.
"Actually, you could ask more questions."
Not everything needed to be hidden, after all, they were already in this kind of relationship.
"An Zhen will tell me what I need to know." Zhang Lexuan smiled like a blooming flower, with An Zhen's marks on her snow-white neck.
Her role was to be a good wife.
To this day, if she were to say she still only felt guilt towards An Zhen, that would be too false.
When did she let go of the past and fall in love with this boy?
Was it when she learned of An Zhen's background after injuring him, feeling even more guilt?
Was it a certain time when this child nestled in her arms?
Was it during a certain kiss, or in their daily interactions?
She was truly worried when she learned An Zhen was missing during the holiday. Even a Spirit Douluo like herself became physically and mentally exhausted because of it. She didn't know when, but she had long grown accustomed to An Zhen's presence in her Life. Compared to the room on Sea God Island where she had lived for many years, she preferred this dorm. Zhang Lexuan's twenty-plus years of Life were suddenly intruded upon by a young man, who took over her body and mind.
Perhaps this was what Grand Ancestor meant by love developing over time.
She turned over, her long hair swaying in the air, and her two beautiful legs, with soft flesh bulging from the white over-the-knee stockings, supported the vast majority of Zhang Lexuan's body weight.
In a place neither of them noticed, as their consciousness was immersed in other matters, a strange power was flowing within An Zhen's Right Leg. Beneath the flesh and blood, the white Right Leg Bone now appeared like translucent white jade. A faint silver spiritual light adhered to it, and the laws of the World were inscribed and flowing upon it. The Right Leg Bone from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion now had no trace of ice-attribute power. The ethereal, veil-like spiritual light flowed like a river, connecting to the Virtual World in an unknown dimension.
Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Right Leg Bone, assimilation complete.
