Warmth slowly flowed in the room. The two of them lay in each other's arms, and the sounds of each other's breathing intertwined into a peaceful nocturne.

After a long time, Xiaoyu moved slightly, as if wanting to get up, but then hesitated.

She looked up at Li Zimo, a trace of reluctance and struggle flashing in her eyes.

Li Zimo noticed Xiaoyu's subtle movements. He gently held Xiaoyu's hand and smiled softly:

"Xiaoyu, I know you have your responsibilities, but since Leng Ruyan didn't limit the time you can monitor me, why not take this opportunity to have a good rest? You can stay with me for a while. If she needs a message, it won't be too late for you to go back."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arms tighter around Xiaoyu's waist, as if wanting to pull her into his arms.

A trace of gratitude and tenderness flashed in Xiaoyu's eyes. She sighed softly and finally gave up the idea of getting up.

She lay back in Li Zimo's arms, a smile of satisfaction and happiness on her face.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, their heartbeats and breathing seemed so harmonious and in sync.

There was a faint smile on their faces, as if this sweetness and warmth continued even in their dreams.

The lights in the room gradually dimmed, leaving only a soft moonlight shining on them, adding a bit of tranquility and beauty to the night.

......

At the first light of the next day, the sky was turning pale. Li Zimo whispered a few words in Xiaoyu's ear, and they got up together.

They moved lightly, afraid to disturb the tranquility of the early morning.

Xiaoyu no longer wore cloud-patterned clothing, but was dressed in a light gauze. She had a graceful figure and a hint of laziness in her eyes, but it could not conceal her fresh and refined temperament.

Afterwards, Li Zimo returned to Liu Rumei's residence alone.

He tiptoed into the room and saw Liu Rumei curled up in the quilt, breathing evenly and quietly.

Li Zimo had a gentle smile on his face. He slowly walked to the bed and gently woke up Liu Rumei.

"Rumei, it's time to get up."

His voice was soft and magnetic, as if it could dispel all fatigue and sleepiness.

Liu Rumei slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Zimo standing beside the bed, with a hint of surprise and dependence in her eyes.

She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then noticed the small bottle in Li Zimo's hand.

"what is this?"

she asked curiously.

Li Zimo handed her the small bottle with a smile and said:

"This is a first-level breakthrough pill. It will be helpful for your cultivation."

When Liu Rumei heard this, her eyes instantly became moist. She was already 28 years old and only at the seventh level of martial arts. The level-breaking pill was very important to her and was in short supply.

She took the vial, her hands trembling slightly, her gratitude evident.

"Zimo, thank you...you always take care of me like this."

Her voice was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Zimo patted her shoulder gently and comforted her:

"Stop crying, put it away quickly. Practice well. I need to go home. If you have anything, just message me directly, or come to my courtyard to find me."

Liu Rumei nodded, wiped away her tears, and put on a strong smile.

"I will try my best and won't let you down."

she said firmly.

Reluctantly, Li Zimo said goodbye to Liu Rumei and took Xiaoyu back to his own courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Zhao Yanran, Wen Wan'er and Xiao Ling were still in their respective rooms, immersed in cultivation.

Li Zimo arranged a room for Xiaoyu. The room was simple and elegant, exuding a warm atmosphere.

After arranging everything, they each began their cultivation.

......

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

When the first ray of morning light penetrated the mist and gently fell on the courtyard, an unusual atmosphere surged in Li Zimo's training room.

In his second spiritual vein, spiritual energy surged like a tide, as if some mysterious power was brewing within it.

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from the depths of the spiritual vein, accompanied by a crisp sound, and a virtual pill condensed from pure spiritual energy slowly emerged in Li Zimo's second spiritual vein.

This virtual pill emitted a soft and dazzling spiritual light, like the brightest star in the night sky, announcing a major breakthrough for Li Zimo on the road of martial arts.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement and joy.

Feeling the unprecedented powerful force in his body, Li Zimo knew that he had successfully stepped into the threshold of the second level of warrior.

His emotions were surging like waves, and Li Zimo's steps were brisk and powerful. He couldn't wait to share this hard-earned joy with those he cherished.

The door of the training room slowly opened, and a beam of warm sunlight penetrated the morning mist and shone on his smiling face.

The moment he walked out of the training room, he took a deep breath of fresh air and felt the new energy overflowing inside and outside his body.

Turning his gaze to the courtyard, he saw Zhao Yanran, Wen Wan'er, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yu sitting around a stone table, talking softly to each other, their laughter and whispers interweaving into a warm picture.

"Everyone, I have great news to announce!"

Li Zimo's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement. He walked towards them quickly, as if every step was stepping on a happy note.

The four girls looked up when they heard the voice, and cast curious and expectant glances.

Zhao Yanran's eyes flashed with tenderness and encouragement, Wen Wan'er's face was full of curiosity, Xiao Ling couldn't wait to jump up and cheer, and Xiaoyu waited quietly for Li Zimo's next words with a smile in her eyes.

Li Zimo stopped, his eyes swept over the four girls one by one, and finally spoke excitedly:

"I successfully broke through the bottleneck of the second level warrior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers of surprise rang out in the courtyard.

Wen Wan'er was the first to jump up, grabbing Li Zimo's arm and spinning around excitedly:

"Really? That's great! Zimo, you're amazing!"

Her eyes sparkled with admiration and excitement, as if Li Zimo was the hero in her heart.

Xiao Ling was not to be outdone, she clapped her hands excitedly:

"Brother Zimo is awesome! I knew you could do it!"

Her laughter was clear and sweet, like a bell in spring, filling the entire courtyard with life and energy.

Although Xiaoyu did not appear to be that excited, the light in her eyes was even warmer and more sincere.

She gently held Li Zimo's hand and said softly:

"Congratulations, Zimo."

Zhao Yanran smiled gently. She looked at Li Zimo with eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

"Zimo, congratulations. We will rely on you to protect us from now on."

Her words were full of trust and encouragement, which made Li Zimo feel extremely warm and powerful.

At this moment, Li Zimo deeply felt the warmth and strength of home.

He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as he had these women by his side, he would have endless courage and motivation.
