The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 709 Senior Night Owl, A Young Girl's Wish (Last day, 700 more monthly votes needed~)

Gu Qingchan was in a daze, only feeling as if she was being held in someone's arms, a pair of strong and powerful arms, carrying a hot masculine aura, making her feel dizzy.

"man?"

Gu Qingchan's starry eyes widened suddenly as she realized something was wrong.

"Gu Qingchan".

Chen Pingan quietly carried Gu Qingchan into the stone chamber. His eyes were calm, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Gu Qingchan's figure was graceful and her curves exquisite. Her flawless face rested against Chen Ping'an's chest. Her dark hair cascaded down, partially obscuring her face, revealing a smooth, jade-like complexion. Her delicate skin was like solidified cream, making one want to touch it.

Her snow-white chin was faintly visible, along with a full, undulating shape; one could imagine the feel of it just by smelling it.

A long, slightly tattered ice-blue dress swayed gently in Chen Ping'an's hands. Her long, shapely legs outlined the most beautiful scenery in the world.

At this moment, Gu Qingchan appeared somewhat frail, completely different from her usual ethereal beauty. She nestled in Chen Ping'an's arms, her graceful figure rising and falling with Chen Ping'an's movements.

Like the most beautiful melody in the world, it played before Chen Ping'an's eyes.

Chen Ping'an kept his eyes straight ahead, his gaze calm, and prepared to put Gu Qingchan down on one side of the stone chamber.

Just then, a soft moan was heard, and the delicate body in her arms trembled, fully waking her up.

Before Chen Ping'an could react, the beauty in his arms suddenly opened her starry eyes, her body tensed instantly, and her eyes were full of vigilance and wariness.

But this wariness vanished completely upon seeing the face of the person before him, transforming into the most dazzling divine light in the world—the purest joy.

Before her lay a decaying, ferocious face, like that of an old man. But in her eyes, it was the most beautiful surprise in the world.

"senior!"

Gu Qingchan's eyes sparkled like stars, sparkling brightly.

"you're awake."

A hoarse voice rang out, like sandpaper being rubbed, dry and devoid of any emotion.

This voice naturally came from Chen Ping'an.

Even before entering the stone chamber, he had transformed into the appearance of an old monster, using a black iron mask as a disguise, and completely changed his clothes.

It truly resembles a night owl.

"Senior, what are you doing here?" Gu Qingchan's porcelain-like face regained some color, and her starry eyes were full of hope and brilliance.

Looking at the senior Night Owl in front of her, she had a sudden realization.

Her memory only extends to the period before she fell into a coma, but this doesn't mean it affects her judgment. Her previous assumptions...
There's no need to overthink it; the Night Owl senior in front of me is the best proof.

At this moment, she didn't want to think too much; she just wanted to seize the present.

Chen Ping'an didn't speak, but held Gu Qingchan and laid her sideways against the stone wall.

Seeing that Senior Night Owl had put her down, Gu Qingchan instinctively showed reluctance. She subconsciously grabbed Senior's hand, her eyes filled with a trace of pity.

Chen Ping'an didn't expect Gu Qingchan to actually make a move, so unreserved, grabbing his arm.

However, he didn't say much in this situation, and let Gu Qingchan hold his arm: "The remaining poison in your body has not been cleared, but it can no longer harm the root cause. With time, it will wear away and you will be able to recover as before."

Gu Qingchan sat against the wall, her ice-blue dress trailing on the ground. The other person held his arm, so he sat down beside her.

"Thank you so much for your help, senior. I have no way to repay you." Gu Qingchan gazed at the man before her, her eyes filled with deep affection and a unique emotion. This was a sight that outsiders could never experience.

"No need for formalities, I just happened to be there," Chen Ping'an said in a low voice, his expression blank.

Gu Qingchan held his arm, and one could vaguely feel the softness of her body, firm yet gentle, inspiring endless imagination.

He tried to pull his arm away, but Gu Qingchan held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

"Does Senior still remember what you said back then?" A blush appeared on Gu Qingchan's beautiful face. Her voice was sweet and tender, but her tone contained a hint of determination.

Ok?
Chen Ping'an was taken aback, not expecting Gu Qingchan to bring up this matter.

In the past, in the city of Leiming, they met at midnight. Taking advantage of the opportunity to repay Gu Qingchan's Yuan Crystal, he exchanged the divine weapon Ruyi Linglong Ring for the Earth Dragon's True Blood from her body.

Although the Ruyi Linglong Ring is precious, in terms of value, it is clearly inferior to the Earth Dragon True Blood, a top-grade earth-level bloodline. In this transaction, Chen Ping'an gained a great advantage.

He once said, "I have been a powerful figure for many years and have never liked to take advantage of others." When asked what Gu Qingchan wanted, he replied...

However, what Gu Qingchan said was completely unexpected.

Gu Qingchan didn't want any spiritual objects or Yuan Crystals; she only wanted to use his body to fulfill her long-cherished wish.

"Qingchan has no other desires but hopes that Senior can grant Qingchan a wish. Senior's fame is far-reaching, and you roam the world freely. Qingchan has always admired you. Today, I am able to meet you. What I want is not to ask for any precious treasures, but to use your body to fulfill a wish that I have kept for many years."

A single word from the past was like a thunderbolt striking the earth; the gentle fragrance of that woman, like osmanthus and orchid, and the alluring manner she exuded, seem to still be vivid in my mind.

Chen Ping'an gradually came to his senses and looked at the bright and lively woman in front of him. He was surprised that she still remembered his words from years ago.

In the past, he considered some concerns and managed to stop the situation from spiraling out of control.

With a single sentence, he made a hasty departure, leaving the beautiful woman alone in her boudoir.

"Could it be that your heart is truly as hard as iron?" Chen Ping'an still remembers those plaintive and sorrowful words.

On the eve of his departure, Chen Ping'an left behind these words: "Fate brings us together and fate separates us, flowers bloom and fade. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet once more!"

If we meet again, let's continue our connection from today. But now it's goodbye!

The implication behind Gu Qingchan's mention of this matter is self-evident.

Chen Ping'an remained calm, his gaze as still as water. What Gu Qingchan saw was a decaying old face, devoid of any emotion.

"I cannot offer you the position of Daoist partner! I am not a suitable match for you!"

Having said that, Chen Ping'an turned and stood up from the side: "Now that this matter is settled, I should also be leaving!"

For a moment, Gu Qingchan was dazed, and the senior's hand was pulled away from her embrace. When she came to her senses again, all that remained were the senior's words, "It's time for me to go."

Gu Qingchan's heart trembled, as if she had returned to that night in Thunder City.

“Senior, why don’t you stay here tonight?” She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned gently against his back. Under the dim light, her beautiful face was clearly visible.

She was met with endless silence. Her voice trembled as she set aside her reserve and pride, and with expectation and longing, she spoke again.

"Senior, please stay, okay?"

The words, "I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer; it is time for me to leave," shattered all her expectations.

Just as he had done today, he broke free from her embrace and left. She trembled, like a flower swaying in the autumn wind, and asked him when they would meet again.

She was left with only silence.

She wanted to stop him, but couldn't utter a word. Her jade-like hand fell limply to her side as she gazed at that cold, hard figure.

Watching the figure rise and leave before her, Gu Qingchan felt a surge of complex emotions. Her expression faltered, her long dress billowed out like an ice lotus, and she grabbed his sleeve.

"Senior, Qingchan has no regrets."

"Qingchan's heart belongs to you, Senior, and you are the only one for her in this life. Whether or not we are your Daoist partner, Qingchan's only wish is to be with you. Qingchan does not need any title from you. If you have any reservations, please consider it as Qingchan repaying a debt of gratitude. You saved my life and my family, so please put aside your concerns and do not show me any pity!"

Gu Qingchan's delicate voice, almost like a confession, shattered the last trace of hesitation in Chen Ping'an's heart.

A pair of rough, large hands caressed Gu Qingchan's jade-like face.

Feeling the hot caress of rough fingers on her face, Gu Qingchan's earrings blushed, and her clear, cold eyes gradually became misty.

Chen Pingan took Gu Qingchan's icy, jade-like hand and gently pulled her into his arms, whereupon her graceful, lotus-like figure fell.

hum~
A spiritual light trembled, and a blue light flowed. Command flags appeared from all four directions, fluttering and transforming into a light barrier that separated the inside from the outside.

"Senior." Gu Qingchan's voice was delicate, like a tender bud on a branch, fresh and sweet.

The command flags fluttered, their blue light swirling, and in the hazy light, the figures of two people were outlined. Their long dresses, like ice lotuses, gradually fell away, revealing their fair skin and jade-like bones, exuding a natural charm. In an instant, a delicate fragrance filled the air.

Her black hair was scattered, creating a hazy, dreamlike scene.

The foundation of a female grandmaster is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Becoming a master is fraught with difficulties for most people, let alone a great master!

To attain the Grandmaster level as a woman is already exceptional and truly remarkable.

At this moment, a change was taking place in Chen Ping'an's brow and spiritual altar.

He possesses a genuine skill scroll, and has already reached the entry level, having undergone the first stage of skill purification!

For so long, this cultivation method has remained stagnant, stuck in a state of disarray. To continue practicing, certain conditions need to be met to activate the second stage of cultivation.

At this moment, some changes appeared on the Golden Finger panel. The cultivation techniques that could not be practiced before have now turned gray and entered the activation stage, marking a step forward on the path of cultivation.

As Chen Ping'an's eyes flickered, a cultivation experience flashed before his eyes.

+1!

"They even have cultivation experience!?"

Chen Ping'an's mind stirred, and he immediately understood.

He embraced the beautiful figure before him, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingchan's face, her delicate features rosy and vibrant, with a hint of dreaminess in her expression.

Without a doubt, only he could see Gu Qingchan like this. And only he could enjoy this beautiful scene.

Looking at the delicate and beautiful face in front of him, Chen Ping'an felt a pang of guilt.

However, this slight sense of guilt quickly vanished with a "senior" and a change of heart.

buzz~
Chen Ping'an's brows trembled with spiritual light, and his mind shone as brightly as day.

Although he has not yet officially begun practicing the second stage of dual cultivation techniques, some changes have occurred within his body. These changes are not obvious, but they play a crucial role.

True essence circulates, spirituality flickers, and strands of divine soul power are nourished and gradually grow stronger.

At this moment, although his realm had not improved, his foundation had undergone an extraordinary change.

Not only Chen Ping'an received the boost, but Gu Qingchan's body also underwent a strange change. As if nourished by the most refined life energy, her face became vibrant and beautiful beyond compare. Her star-like eyes shone with an unprecedented and strange light, a joy and satisfaction that came from the bottom of her heart.

She entered the Dao through emotion, entrusting her feelings and thoughts to it. With the imagery of the Mysterious Woman, she outlined the image of destiny. What she cultivated was a perilous path of cultivating both body and mind.

If one can use the image of destiny as a guide, it is hoped that one can ascend to the realm of martial arts mastery.

Now, my wish has come true!
Gu Qingchan's mood can be described as "clear-headed and naturally graceful."

hum~ hum~ hum~
A flash of spiritual light, and the flow of true essence.

+1!

+1!

+1!

As time passed, a series of cultivation experiences flashed by.

On the Golden Finger panel, the experience points behind the cultivation techniques were constantly accumulating. Although the progress was not fast, it was steadily increasing.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an felt the wonder of cultivation.

Far, far from the cave at the bottom of the pool, a place of unknown destiny, lies a waterfall curtain cave, a mountain spring with a cold pool, clear and icy, its bottom unseen.

Inside the stone chamber, purple mist filled the air, and spiritual light flowed, casting a hazy glow that revealed a stunningly beautiful figure.

Like a secluded orchid in a valley, or a dreamlike starry sky, it is ethereal and exquisitely beautiful.

Those dreamy, star-like eyes were tightly closed, their long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, their expressions shifting constantly.

The past is like dust and smoke, countless images intertwined, disturbing the heart and making it hard to express one's feelings.

Those who are celestial beings are in harmony with heaven and earth, achieving unity with them. To reach this state, one must understand one's true nature and attain a clear and pure Daoist heart.

Just as she was in the most intense and surreal state of her inner demons, a slight stinging sensation appeared between her voluptuous breasts, encased in a black dress.

"Husband."

A soft murmur escaped her lips, and the scene in the illusion of inner demons froze.

Under the starry sky, a man and a woman embraced each other, their hands tightly clasped together, their fingers intertwined, inseparable.

Under the starry sky that year, the girl made a wish.

I wish to grow old with you, to stay together and understand each other, day and night.

Our fate is sealed across three lifetimes; this dream will endure forever.

At this moment, the purple light shone brightly, countless spiritual energies stirred, and a divine realm descended with a roar.

At the age of twenty-seven, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo ascended to the realm of martial arts prowess!
