Chapter 120: Long Tianjiao Is the Miracle Cure

Chu Tian gradually regained consciousness, his body’s instinctive reactions already conveying a certain truth to him. In an instant, his mind cleared, and he realized who the woman riding atop him was. Although he could not see the intimate scene before his eyes, the sensation of their bodies tightly joined plunged him into a state of bewilderment.

A wisp of vital essence flowed from Long Tianjiao’s body, through the place of their union, and into Chu Tian.

Boom!

Immediately, a multicolored light surged from Chu Tian’s heart. The Hunyuan Pearl, seemingly stimulated by something, fully awakened in an instant. The next second, it released a pure, refined energy that coursed through every limb and bone in his body. Chu Tian’s previously shattered meridians began to reconnect, the gentle power nourishing his limbs and allowing his broken channels to regenerate. At the same time, his aura skyrocketed, his cultivation base becoming several times stronger than it had been before.

"Mm!"

Long Tianjiao let out a cry, her own aura climbing steadily until it, too, reached the Grandmaster realm in an instant. Their bodies and minds were perfectly in sync at this moment, entering a state of self-forgetful ecstasy.

A moment later, Long Tianjiao’s body softened, and she collapsed onto Chu Tian’s chest.

"Xiao Tian, how... how are you feeling now?" Long Tianjiao panted softly. Though she could not see his face in the darkness, it did not hinder her gaze.

"Fifth Senior Sister, how did you ever come up with this method?" Chu Tian chuckled, taking the opportunity to wrap his arms around her slender waist and pull her closer. His hands, which had been limp moments ago, were now firm and strong.

"Wu Xingyan was just telling you to use us for cultivation replenishment; is it really so strange that I could think of this method?" Long Tianjiao’s face flushed, and she quickly changed the subject. In truth, she hadn't known if it would work. But trapped in the underground palace with no way out, she felt that rather than waiting for death, it was better to try and leave no regrets behind.

As it turned out, after that union, Chu Tian’s aura had grown stronger; not only had his shattered meridians healed, but his strength had increased several times over. The two embraced once more, sharing a moment of tenderness.

Ten minutes later, Long Tianjiao pushed him away. "Wait, Grandfather doesn't know our status yet. We have to leave here quickly; we cannot let Wu Xingyan have the chance to threaten him!" She looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with urgency.

The underground palace had been blocked by rubble, cutting off all air from the outside. As time passed, the oxygen in their immediate area was dwindling. Long Tianjiao tried to slow her breathing to conserve the air, but she knew it wasn't a long-term solution. If they stayed any longer, they might suffocate to death.

"Alright, let's head out then. But we should at least put our clothes on first," Chu Tian said with a chuckle, teasing his anxious Fifth Senior Sister. Long Tianjiao blushed, climbed off him, and hurried to dress. Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh at her shyness. After some playful banter, they were finally dressed. Chu Tian’s clothes were soaked in blood; though it had dried, the thick, metallic scent still lingered in the air.

He raised his right hand and pressed it against the massive boulder, pushing with all his might. But the rock remained unmoved. The entire palace had collapsed and been filled with debris, making the boulder one with the mountain itself. Trying to move it was akin to pushing over the entire mountain. The pressure was immense, and even with his power increased several times over, it was beyond his capability. After a few failed attempts, he felt a sense of discouragement.

"Xiao Tian, can you not push it either?" Long Tianjiao asked, her anxiety rising.

"I can't. This boulder is too heavy; the exit must be completely blocked," Chu Tian replied, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"Then how are we going to get out?" she asked, her voice trembling with panic.

"Fifth Senior Sister, if we really die here, would you be afraid?" Chu Tian asked in a low, serious tone. He wanted to know what his usually cold and aloof senior sister truly thought when facing the brink of death.

Long Tianjiao fell silent. After a long time, she finally spoke: "If you are with me, I will not be afraid." She no longer cared about being shy; she had finally spoken her heart.

"Fifth Senior Sister, having you say that is enough. Actually, we are not without a way out, it’s just..." Chu Tian hesitated, leaving his sentence unfinished.

"If you have a way, then say it! Don't stutter!" she urged.

"Come closer, I’ll tell you." Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, acting mysteriously. Long Tianjiao was skeptical, but having no better options, she leaned her ear toward his lips. Chu Tian whispered his plan.

Long Tianjiao’s face turned bright red. Even in the darkness, Chu Tian could clearly sense her embarrassment.

"Xiao Tian, are you sure this method will really work?" she stammered, acting coy and shy.

"Fifth Senior Sister, we have to try, otherwise we are just waiting here to die," Chu Tian said helplessly. He couldn't think of anything else.

"You... you aren't lying to me, are you?" she asked, still suspicious.

"How could I? If we could get out, I would want to leave quickly too! Who would want to stay in this hole?" Chu Tian cried out in protest, though he didn't truly mean it. This stone chamber held too many precious memories—memories of him and his Fifth Senior Sister that he would never forget.

"Fine, I will trust you one more time." Long Tianjiao pushed him against the stone wall, pressed her body against his, and kissed him deeply. As they kissed, a multicolored light once again emanated from Chu Tian’s heart, instantly illuminating the chamber.

When she pulled away, her face was flushed, and under the multicolored glow, her stunning beauty looked even more enchanting. Of course, this was not the time for intimacy. If the circumstances were different, Chu Tian would have pinned her down and claimed her again right then and there.

"Is this enough now? Shall we go?" she asked, breathless and annoyed.

"Yes!" Chu Tian nodded and struck out with both palms.

Boom...
