The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 65 Warmth

Ye Feng reached out and naturally wrapped his arm around Su Qingxue's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"Looks like you miss me?"

Ye Feng chuckled softly, lowered his head to gently touch her smooth, delicate eyebrows, and inhaled her familiar, cool fragrance.

"Um…"

Su Qingxue's fair cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't flinch, but gently responded and buried her head in Ye Feng's chest.

Ye Feng spends most of her time in seclusion cultivating, so they rarely see each other. However, she is aloof and not very good at expressing herself.

"Your current strength?"

Su Qingxue gazed at Ye Feng, her clear eyes filled with curiosity.

When Ye Feng last came out of the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm, he had already broken through to the Sword Emperor level. Now, after cultivating for another year in the space of the Blazing Fire Sword Stele, his strength must have improved again.

With her own strength, she couldn't even perceive his depth; the gap between them became increasingly immeasurable.

"The Sword Emperor is in its late stage, just one step away from reaching the peak of the Sword Emperor realm."

Ye Feng didn't hide anything and smiled slightly.

Su Qingxue opened her clear eyes slightly. Even though she had expected it, hearing Ye Feng say those four words still sent a storm through her heart.

Sword Empress's final stage!

She knew the weight of those four words better than anyone else.

Her grandfather, Su Zhen, had cultivated for hundreds of years and was only at the late stage of the Sword Empress realm, while Ye Feng, who was two years younger than her, had already reached this level, or even stronger.

"In that case, you will soon be able to reach the level that your grandfather and the others hoped for and break through to the Sword Emperor realm."

Su Qingxue's voice was soft, carrying a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

As his wife, she was proud of Ye Feng's achievements and felt happy, but she also felt a little disappointed.

The person in front of her had improved too quickly, so quickly that she could only look up at his back and could not offer him any help.

"It's not that easy. Even breaking through to the peak of Sword Emperor still takes some time."

Ye Feng lowered his head, gazing into Su Qingxue's clear, glass-like eyes, and said gently.

Only those who have broken through to the peak of the Sword Emperor realm are qualified to attempt it.

"I believe you can succeed..."

Su Qingxue's gaze was fixed on Ye Feng, her clear voice filled with certainty.

"They're family after all..."

Ye Feng's smile deepened, and he reached out to pinch Su Qingxue's pretty face.

"Saying such things..."

Su Qingxue rolled her eyes at Ye Feng, slapped away his mischievous hand, and smiled faintly.

"Did you bring back the Pure Yang Profound Yin Record from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion...?"

Ye Feng felt relaxed and cheerful. Then, he changed the subject and looked at Su Qingxue with a playful expression.

The beautiful woman in his arms had fair skin and a captivating beauty. Spoiling her was one of the few joys he could have in this Sword Continent besides cultivation.

Now that we've emerged from the Li Huo Sword Stele, we can finally relax and rest for a few days, so we should definitely enjoy ourselves.

While enjoying the pleasure, appropriately using dual cultivation to improve one's strength is a perfect approach. Even if Su Qingxue's current strength is weak and she can't provide much of a boost, it's still better than some of the usual cultivation.

Even a small mosquito is still meat. If there is no place on the Sword Continent with the energy to break through to the peak of the Sword Emperor realm, then using the dual cultivation method to break through with the help of a woman's power is also a good option.

In the Sword Continent, strength reigns supreme. As long as one is strong enough, even if one has three thousand wives and concubines, no one will dare to say anything.

Moreover, this kind of dual cultivation is even more beneficial to those who are weak. The beauty in his arms is his wife, so he should naturally help her.

Borrowing that wisp of his primordial yang energy, Su Qingxue also condensed a Heaven-level sword soul. Such talent is already top-tier in the Sword Continent, and even in the Great Thousand World, it probably wouldn't be considered weak.

If he can improve his abilities, it will be a great help to him in the future.

"The Pure Yang and Profound Yin Records..."

Upon hearing Ye Feng mention this dual cultivation sword technique, Su Qingxue's gentle and beautiful face flushed even more, the blush spreading to her ears.

She clearly remembered what happened on her first trip to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. At that time, she was somewhat obsessive about Ye Feng and said the wrong thing, which angered him and led to him taking liberties with her.

The root cause of her embarrassing situation was this dual cultivation sword technique, the Pure Yang Profound Yin Record.

"You...how do you still remember that sword technique...?"

Seeing Ye Feng smiling without saying a word, Su Qingxue's voice was barely audible, tinged with embarrassment and annoyance.

Given their relationship, practicing that kind of dual cultivation sword technique was not something to be ashamed of, but whenever she thought of this sword technique, she couldn't help but recall that day.

"The first time I tasted your flavor, I will never forget it."

Ye Feng chuckled and made a teasing remark.

The beautiful woman before him was just as she had been back then, and had been his woman for many years, but if he really had to make a judgment, the taste of that first time was still the most unforgettable.

Back then, Su Qingxue was far less obedient and gentle than she is now; she possessed a certain arrogance and assertiveness, which could be considered as each having its own merits.

This doesn't mean that the person in your arms has changed in any way; it's just that after some intimate things happen between them, their attitudes will naturally change.

Su Qingxue treated others the same as always, but her treatment of him was completely different from when they first met.

Su Qingxue's pretty face flushed, and she dared not look into Ye Feng's smiling eyes. She lowered her head even further, and the soft sound that came out of her red lips was barely audible.

"That sword technique... I went to get it later."

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, his lips curled up even more, and he lowered his head to place a kiss on Su Qingxue's forehead.

"What a wonderful Xue'er! We'll have a proper training session then."

Su Qingxue did not respond, but simply nodded slightly, showing no resistance to Ye Feng.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hint of warmth. The two embraced silently, yet their silence spoke volumes.

"Greetings, my husband, and Sister Qingxue..."

Just as the two were quietly embracing, Chen tide, who came out of the room, paused for a moment, then greeted them.

She didn't want to disrupt their peace, but she couldn't hide her presence from them. It wouldn't be right to ignore them and pretend not to see her.

"Um…"

Ye Feng released Su Qingxue, looked at Chen tide, nodded and smiled, and then spoke casually.

"Speaking of which, it's quite peaceful today since Zhenyue isn't in the courtyard."

It's quite normal that Jiang Zhenyue isn't in Tianxia Yuanzhong, since the three women can't possibly stay in the courtyard to cultivate all the time without ever leaving the house.

If Jiang Zhenyue were here, there would be so many more topics to discuss and the atmosphere would be much more lively.

"You only say this because she's not here. Don't think I don't know that vixen is your favorite."

Su Qingxue gave a noncommittal snort, her voice seemingly tinged with resentment.

"Then you misunderstand. The three of you each have your own strengths, but if we really have to compare them, then naturally you should be ranked first."

"I would say that to either of them, since you and I were the first to meet."
