In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

After the joy, Li Zimo gently hugged Yu Kexin's waist, and the two lay quietly on the bed, enjoying this rare peace.

Yu Kexin snuggled in Li Zimo's arms in a lazy and contented posture, her eyes revealing deep emotions. She gazed at Li Zimo lovingly, as if telling endless words with her eyes.

Li Zimo lowered his head gently and kissed Yu Kexin's tender red lips tenderly. Then, in his magnetic voice, he asked softly:

"Xin'er, do you blame Brother Zimo in your heart?"

Yu Kexin's cheeks flushed red upon hearing this. She lowered her head shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, but filled with sincere emotion:

"No wonder, Xin'er actually likes Brother Zimo very much."

After saying that, she raised her eyes again and looked into Li Zimo's eyes affectionately, her love and attachment evident in her words.

In that moment of looking at each other affectionately, time seemed to freeze, everything around them lost its color and sound, leaving only the two of their heartbeats, resonating in the quiet air.

Li Zimo's eyes became softer. He gently raised his hand and stroked Yu Kexin's soft hair, as if cherishing this hard-earned intimacy and understanding.

"Xin'er, I'm really happy to hear you say these words. I will take good care of you and your aunt."

Tears glistened in Yu Kexin's eyes. They were tears of happiness and also tears of being moved by Li Zimo's promise.

She put her arms around Li Zimo's waist and buried her head in his chest, feeling the solid support and warmth.

"Well, Brother Zimo, with you by my side, Xin'er is not afraid of anything. We will always be together, right?"

Li Zimo hugged Yu Kexin tightly and gave her the most firm answer:

"Yes, we will always be together."

Hearing this, Yu Kexin snuggled up to Li Zimo's broad chest, feeling the warmth and stability, as if all her troubles and worries disappeared with this gentle hug.

Her breathing gradually became even and deep, her eyes slowly closed, and a happy smile still hung on her face.

Li Zimo gently stroked her slender and soft waist, feeling her body rise and fall gently with her breathing.

His eyes were full of tenderness and doting, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

He knew that this girl had already walked deeply into his heart and became an indispensable part of his life.

As the night deepened, the only sounds left in the room were the soft breathing of the two of them and the occasional sound of the night wind coming from outside the window.

When Yu Kexin was completely immersed in sleep with a faint smile on her face, Li Zimo gently settled her down to ensure that she would not be disturbed.

Then, his eyes fell on the dragon-patterned jade pendant on his chest, which had been emitting a warm feeling since he and Yu Linglong made love.

This jade pendant is usually warm and smooth, and even has no reaction when blood drips on it. But at this moment, it seems to contain some kind of mysterious power, constantly conveying warmth and calling.

Li Zimo felt a surge of curiosity and anticipation in his heart. He knew that there might be some special opportunity in this jade pendant.

He carefully took out the jade pendant and held it in his palm to examine it carefully.

The dragon pattern on the jade pendant was faintly visible in the dim candlelight, and it seemed to be slowly swimming with life, and the warm feeling became stronger and stronger, as if guiding him to explore the secret inside.

At this moment, a cold and majestic female voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"I am the Dark Night Martial Emperor—Ye Yinglan. The woman in front of you possesses a nine-orifice exquisite body."

"My inheritance is a Martial Emperor-level inheritance, and it can only be triggered when combined with the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Body."

"If you want this opportunity, you must swear to forever protect the owner of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Body."

"And when Zhongzhou Tianjian Sect was in danger, I extended a helping hand to the best of my ability, and at the same time protected the safety of Tianjian Sect's Nalan Youruo."

As the sound echoed, the image of a woman gradually emerged in Li Zimo's mind.

She was wearing a black tight dress and a black half mask, with extraordinary heroism revealed between her brows. She was the Dark Night Martial Emperor - Ye Yinglan.

Immediately afterwards, the image of another gentle woman quietly appeared. She was Nalan Youruo, her eyes flashing with expectation and anxiety about the unknown future.

Li Zimo was shocked. He knew the weight of this inheritance and the responsibility he was about to bear.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind. Then he slowly opened his mouth and swore by his soul:

"I, Li Zimo, hereby swear an oath to forever protect Yu Linglong, the owner of the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Body."

"And when Zhongzhou Tianjian Sect was in danger, I extended a helping hand to the best of my ability, and at the same time protected the safety of Tianjian Sect's Nalan Youruo."

"If you disobey, you will be punished by heaven and your soul will be destroyed."

When the oath was uttered, the whole room seemed to be shaken, the light of the dragon-patterned jade ring suddenly became brighter, and then a stream of light flew out and sank into Li Zimo's eyebrows.

At the same time, a vast torrent of information like the ocean poured into his mind. It was the entire content of the Dark Night Emperor's Scripture.

It contains supreme cultivation methods, exquisite martial arts and Ye Yinglan's insights into martial arts.

Li Zimo closed his eyes and meditated, spiritual power surging around him, as if thousands of stars were gathering on him.

When he opened his eyes again, they were gleaming with unprecedented determination and confidence.

He knew that he was no longer that ordinary boy, but the heir of the Dark Night who possessed an imperial-level inheritance.

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Zimo quickly took out the cultivation elixir that he had prepared long ago, and the rich fragrance of the elixir instantly filled the entire room.

He swallowed it without hesitation, and felt streams of pure medicinal power rapidly dissolving in his body, nourishing his meridians and dantian.

Then, he held a spirit stone in each hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to circulate the spiritual power in his body according to the practice method in the "Dark Night Emperor Sutra".

As the technique was practiced, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned by something and rushed into his body. Through the spiritual veins that had been opened, it was transformed into purer spiritual power, filling every cell of his body.

The process of changing his cultivation method was unexpectedly smooth, thanks to his previously opened spiritual veins and his extraordinary physique.

His body was like a bottomless pit, absorbing spiritual energy almost to the point of greed, but even so, he did not experience any discomfort or bottleneck.

On the contrary, with the continuous influx of spiritual energy, his cultivation is rising at an astonishing speed.

In just half an hour, Li Zimo had returned to the peak state of the ninth level of martial arts, and the spiritual power in his body was more condensed and powerful than before.

However, this is just the beginning.

When the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds and illuminated the earth, the spiritual power in his body began to boil again, and a powerful force brewed in his body.

In the end, he broke through the barriers of the warrior realm without any hindrance, allowing him to successfully enter the ranks of the first-level warriors.

At the moment of breakthrough, Li Zimo opened his eyes excitedly, with a gleam of disbelief in his eyes.
