Chapter 986: Chapter 224: A Benevolent Master and Filial Disciple, Sun Wheel Ascends the Sky

When Gongsun Qingyue fully connects with the Great Sun and patrols the skies, the Xi He Dao Fruit will also completely merge with her, allowing her to ascend to the fourth rank.

Therefore, it still requires some time.

According to Gongsun Qingyue’s estimation, it would be best to control the promotion at the time of dawn tomorrow, aligning with the celestial time to command the sun for a perfect ascension.

But looking at it now, if it rains, then she’ll need to drive away the rain clouds and change the heavenly phenomenon herself.

Thinking this, Gongsun Qingyue slightly raised her gaze, only to find no rain beyond the blazing golden light. The sky was still clear, without a calamity cloud, and the anticipated rain didn’t occur.

Drip—

The sound of water echoed again, but it wasn’t like the previous splattering sound; it didn’t seem like rain.

Drip—

Suddenly, Gongsun Qingyue’s eyes narrowed, her body, floating mid-air, automatically turned around, her gaze falling behind her.

At this moment, she saw auspicious clouds rising in the courtyard, three feet above the ground, with Tianxuan and Jiang Li sitting opposite each other on the clouds, their Primordial Qi surging outside their bodies.

Judging by the appearance, it seemed they were engaging in True Qi Dual Cultivation.

Gongsun Qingyue unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the situation looked somewhat unseemly, it was better than what she had guessed. It was indeed a blessing in disguise.

If it had been as she guessed, then...

Gongsun Qingyue was still in the Promotion Ceremony, unable to move, and in her estimation, it would last until tomorrow morning.

During this time, if Gongsun Qingyue had to keep watching, it would absolutely infuriate her.

And there’s no need to doubt, Tianxuan might actually do something like this. Who asked Gongsun Qingyue, this evil disciple, to rely on Jiang Li, and to have been so blatant these past few days, even presenting herself as the first wife?

It seemed as if sensing Gongsun Qingyue’s gaze, Jiang Li and Tianxuan simultaneously looked over.

Jiang Li’s face showed no unusual color, while Tianxuan’s face appeared as if covered with a faint jade glow, making her already peerless beauty even more charming, blending holiness with exceptional allure.

"Qingyue has awakened?"

Tianxuan smiled slightly and said: "Ah, since I am here to protect you, idle is as idle does, so I thought to cultivate a bit with your junior brother. Qingyue, do you mind if I borrow your husband for a bit?"

Does Gongsun Qingyue mind?

Of course she minds.

Sleeping in the same bed with Tianxuan was one thing, but being teased by Tianxuan right to her face was another. Now it was Tianxuan being blatant, how could Gongsun Qingyue not mind?

If she could move, she’d declare her rightful place as the first wife.

But she cannot move now.

So, Gongsun Qingyue calmly said: "Suit yourself."

So, she didn’t mind.

"That’s good." Tianxuan replied with a beaming smile.

Her gaze was like water, rippling out as if about to overflow, inexplicably joyous or something else, but it simply infuriated Gongsun Qingyue.

Meanwhile, the dripping sound hadn’t stopped.

Gongsun Qingyue released her Divine Thought, sweeping the surroundings, discovering that a rockery in the courtyard was spilling water, thus knowing the source of the sound.

’A bit overly sensitive.’

Gongsun Qingyue thought, casting another glare at Tianxuan.

It was all due to this old demon, making her think all sorts of things.

She simply closed her eyes, carefully experiencing the fusion of the Power of the Sun and Flame Qi within her, as if not seeing was believing.

However—

"Ah, evil disciple, gentler." Tianxuan coquettishly chided suddenly.

Gongsun Qingyue opened her eyes, her gaze piercing and locked onto a pair of teasing eyes.

Tianxuan maintained her cross-legged posture, looking at Gongsun Qingyue, her face full of smiles, murmuring: "Evil disciple, told you not to resist."

Gongsun Qingyue’s expression grew dark, saying: "Do not disturb my ascension."

This old demon, really changing her ways to bully her, likely saw that she was about to ascend, finally able to battle the junior brother for three hundred rounds, and thought to tease her now.

In Gongsun Qingyue’s projections, after the ascension, she definitely planned to confront her Master. Unexpectedly, this old demon predicted it, now striking first.

"Rest assured, with me here, no one can disturb your ascension." Tianxuan promised with a smile.

As she spoke, she let out another low murmur, indescribably melodious and charming.

The act was quite convincing!

Gongsun Qingyue snorted lightly, closing her eyes again, but still extending her Divine Thought, scanning the surroundings.

In her perception, Tianxuan and Jiang Li still sat across from each other, Tianxuan smilingly calling out a couple of times, pretentiously glancing at Gongsun Qingyue’s reaction. Seeing the evil disciple’s calm expression, Tianxuan lost some interest, turning to Jiang Li.

Seeing this, Jiang Li gently advised Tianxuan a bit, telling her not to always tease the disciple’s emotions.

"Disciple, you don’t know, after teaming up with others to deal with the Immortal Queen, to prevent her revenge, I barely went out for those twenty-odd years. It’s occasionally teasing Qingyue that kept life from being too dull."

Tianxuan laughed softly: "It’s one of life’s great joys, and has to be savored."

’Senior Sister also sees confronting you as a life necessity, never giving up.’ Jiang Li murmured inwardly upon hearing this.

Seeing Tianxuan’s radiant and alluring face, he couldn’t help but want to advise her further, but suddenly froze, words stuck in his throat.

Afterward, Tianxuan played around a few more times. Seeing Gongsun Qingyue falling for it no more, she seemingly lost interest, not continuing to tease the disciple’s nerves.

Time passed by slowly, until dusk, when a sudden downpour began, the sound of pitter-pattering incessantly emerging. However, with the Star Domain surrounding, with the Great Sun shining, the rain only audibly came, with no further effect.

Gongsun Qingyue had already entered a state of meditation, uninterested in external affairs, as there were both Master and junior brother guarding, no need to worry about any intrusions.

A night passed in this way, in the blink of an eye, it was early dawn the next day.

As night turned to day, the Golden Crow wings behind Gongsun Qingyue flapped, the Great Sun Light illuminating the world, evaporating rainwater, driving away Calamity Clouds.

Gongsun Qingyue opened her eyes again, her pupils already a shade of crimson gold, illuminating everything.

The sun illuminated the world, and the Sun God Body obtained the ability to see through illusions. Though not yet a Divine Skill, it was no ordinary ability either.

Under these eyes, the world appeared clearer, and wherever her gaze fell, all falsehoods scattered. All things, tangible or intangible, struggled to remain hidden. Though not comparable to Jiang Li’s Heavenly Eye, it still brought considerable benefit to Gongsun Qingyue.

This was the wonder of the Sun God Body.

Having guarded Gongsun Qingyue for half a day and a night, Tianxuan brushed aside her hair stuck to her cheeks, wiped away sweat, and, seeing the gradually rising sun wheel, smiled, "The promotion was perfectly successful."

She softly exhaled a warm breath, as if enduring the intense heat of the Great Sun, with sweat tracing down the beautiful contours of her forehead.

A body clad in pure white palace attire had long been drenched in sweat, clinging to her exquisite figure, showcasing perfect curves.

The white and pink hues faintly visible through the damp fabric carried a kind of hazy beauty.

And as the sun wheel rose into the sky, the Star Domain gradually separated, allowing it to patrol the heavens. At this time, Gongsun Qingyue finally saw the truth.

Tianxuan was sitting on Jiang Li’s lap, her pure white skirt spread out like a blooming lotus, covering Jiang Li’s lower half.

"This is... Illusion Technique!"

Under the Star Domain, the Illusion Technique performed by Tianxuan could pass for reality, even Jiang Li’s Moluo Sword Manual could not compare.

Not even a third grade could immediately see through it, let alone Gongsun Qingyue, a fifth-rank.

It was only because she had now advanced to the fourth-rank, and with the Star Domain parted, that she could see the truth.

As for how True Qi Dual Cultivation progressed to this, it could only be said that Tianxuan had a strong competitive desire, seeing an opportunity to turn the tables, how could she miss it?

"Boom!"

The True Sun Fire burned fiercely, the sun wheel rose high, scorching Flame Qi swept through the world, high temperatures enveloped the entire Divine Capital.

On this day, the Divine Capital entered early summer.
