Time is tight here, we can't stay long. After returning, we should start looking for this river as the retreat location for the next stage of cultivation.

Speaking of cultivation... Zhao Changhe finds that his cultivation has improved, having already pushed the Imperial Realm Second Layer to its peak.

Nothing else matters, it's the result of truly dual cultivating with Piaomiao in the Imperial Realm Third Layer, not improving would be strange. Unexpectedly, Piaomiao should also be improving.

Zhao Changhe lowered his head to look at Piaomiao's sleeping face, serene and gentle.

Strictly speaking, this is truly his first time with Piaomiao... Previously, all the entanglements used Yangyang's face, this is the first time to unite with Piaomiao's appearance, and also Piaomiao's first voluntary union.

Of course, it's also because of those entanglements gone through before that they've reached today's relationship.

But what he's gained is a treasure... how fortunate.

Seemingly watched for a long time, Piaomiao finally wakes up, the two gaze at each other again.

After a moment, Piaomiao's soul body blushed, turning her head away again, she magically donned clothes all over her body, murmuring softly: "Just a lecher, even the soul undresses, I must be blind to have thought you a hero."

Zhao Changhe embraces her from behind, whispering: "It's just marital pleasure, what's a lecher or not..."

"Who are you married to? I'm not Yangyang."

"Want a ceremony? Let's bow to heaven and earth." Zhao Changhe said and suddenly paused, wondering if a bow to heaven and earth in this world means bowing to Ye Wuming on top and Piaomiao below...

Then aren't the ceremony and the marital bows redundant?

This talk involved Ye Wuming, not suitable to discuss with Piaomiao, and Piaomiao herself hadn't expected him to consider such idle matters, she simply said: "I don't need it... save it for your human wives, like the Li family girl."

Zhao Changhe puzzled why Piaomiao would inexplicably be jealous of Ye Jiuyou, amused and helpless: "I have nothing to do with her."

"Ha, that's hard to say. Anyway, among those who've plotted against me, she also plays a part." Piaomiao, calmed down, naturally guessed that Ye Jiuyou's letting herself and Zhao Changhe seek Bodhisattva together had some ulterior motives.

Zhao Changhe said: "Then I have to thank her."

Piaomiao hummed: "I will settle the score with her myself."

She paused, not continuing on this topic, but changed to: "I actually made progress in cultivation... I thought my cultivation wasn't connected to the conventional types, unexpectedly I can truly improve."

Zhao Changhe said: "As long as Yin Yang harmonizes, it's natural, no matter how unique you are, how can you escape this mold? Moreover, your cultivation is far from reaching the top, if we go back, we'll dual cultivate more to beat Ye Wuming..."

"Who's going to dual cultivate with you, when we go back I'll just be a little black sphere, won't use this appearance to meet you."

Thinking about the incredibly cute little black sphere made Zhao Changhe want to laugh: "The lotus platform?"

"I used the Mustard Seed Sumeru Technique to conceal it, otherwise the aura would be too intense, causing trouble. Once we go back, we'll figure out how to evolve the physical body..." Piaomiao stopped talking abruptly.

Zhao Changhe marveling: "Why did you stop? Actually, I feel that since we have the lotus platform, molding the physical body isn't difficult, I'm somewhat confident. Back then, a first-layer Imperial Realm novice could use a drop of blood to shape a body with the Book of Life, our current conditions are far better, our cultivation and understanding of the laws far exceeds them, theoretically it shouldn't be a big problem."

Piaomiao thought inwardly it's not about confidence, but now truly doesn't know who the molded physical body would be for... it seems to mean more to you than to myself.

This feeling is truly strange, even more difficult to voice directly, could only change the topic: "Since the injuries are healed, should we go see the Soul Capturing Mirror in the Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm? Ultimately going back is our primary goal, if we can't return, everything else becomes meaningless."

Zhao Changhe said: "That we can return through the Soul Capturing Mirror is just our speculation, not necessarily certain... sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood, I want to stay here for another day."

"To consolidate cultivation? This place indeed suits you well."

"More importantly, I found that there was a foreshadowing for forecasting the future before, I need to study this a bit... the directions are too vast, I'll take this opportunity of whether we can return as the benchmark, to forecast fortune and misfortune, maybe I'll find out the specific method."
