System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, his brows like two closely adjacent mountain peaks, revealing deep worry. One hand held down Bai Li, who was constantly struggling and demanding, while the other hand formed a sword finger, held between his brows.

Then Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a surge of righteous energy instantly flowed into the tips of his two fingers. That righteous energy was like a surging wave, powerful and overwhelming. As his sword fingers touched Bai Li's brow, Chen Xuan uttered a low shout: "Heart-Clearing Mantra!"

"break!"

A large amount of spiritual energy from the Purple Mansion rushed along the sword finger and into Bai Li's body.

In an instant, a surge of righteous energy and noble spirit entered Bai Li's soul.

That righteous energy, like warm sunshine, dispelled the gloom in the darkness.

The large amount of Red Phoenix Toxin, which was like a maggot clinging to the bone, was dispelled by Chen Xuan's Mind-Clearing Mantra and Righteous Qi.

However, although Chen Xuan used his powerful Daoist magic to disperse the toxins attached to Bai Li's soul, these toxins were not expelled from her body. Moreover, in a short time, these Red Phoenix toxins began to invade Bai Li's soul again.

"Master, love me...Master...Bai Li is in so much pain."

Bai Li's voice was filled with pain and helplessness, like the mournful cry of a wounded bird.

Seeing Bai Li's face burning like fire, suffering endless pain, his heart ached like a sharp knife, piercing his soul. Recalling the journey they had taken, Chen Xuan was now forced to confront the bond between master and servant.

"Bai Li, don't be afraid, your master is here to save you." Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with endless tenderness, like a deep lake, captivating all who looked into them.

Looking at Bai Li's slightly parted cherry lips, Chen Xuan kissed her directly.

His kiss was like a spring breeze, gentle and warm. Seeing the Red Phoenix Toxin that had just been removed reappearing and try to attach itself to Bai Li's soul, Chen Xuan disregarded everything and directly sucked it in with his mouth.

Chen Xuan leaned down, and Bai Li naturally wrapped her arms tightly around him, responding enthusiastically.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the dwelling was subtly changing. It was like a burning flame, intense yet ambiguous.

Due to Chen Xuan's active absorption, a large amount of Red Phoenix Toxin remaining in Bai Li's body was being drawn out. A large amount of Red Phoenix Toxin entered Chen Xuan's body through his mouth.

Immediately, Chen Xuan's meridians also experienced a burning sensation. However, it was unclear whether his meridians, formed from the roots of the Azure Lotus, possessed an innate ability to resist all poisons.

These toxins from the Red Phoenix were completely digested before they could even penetrate the dantian (lower abdomen) along the meridians.

Of course, every medicine has its side effects, especially since this is the innate poison of a fully-formed, wicked dragon.

Although Chen Xuan possessed powerful resources and easily neutralized these toxins, a small amount remained in his eight extraordinary meridians.

Chen Xuan was only eighteen years old. At that age, he was full of youthful vigor and had a primal desire for the opposite sex. With his mind opened up, he no longer shied away from Bai Li's feelings for him.

This led to the current situation. With the evil dragon's inner core already taking effect, and Chen Xuan actively absorbing the toxins, the kiss, which should have ended, did not end with Chen Xuan leaving immediately.

Chen Xuan's cheeks were flushed crimson, like the sunset, captivating all who beheld them. Meanwhile, thanks to the combined help of the Reverse Scale Dragon Pearl and Chen Xuan, Bai Li's previously burning cheeks gradually returned to their fair and smooth state.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

As Bai Li regained control of her consciousness, she opened her eyes to see Chen Xuan's flushed cheeks close to hers.

Bai Li quickly understood what had happened. Tears immediately streamed down her face, her tears like glistening pearls, shimmering with a captivating light. She tightly embraced Chen Xuan's waist with her fair arms, trying her best to feel the warmth her master was giving her.

"Master, Bai Li loves you, Bai Li will love you for the rest of her life." Bai Li and Chen Xuan have a spirit beast contract, and Bai Li's murmur in her heart was also transmitted to Chen Xuan's mind through the contract.

In an instant, Chen Xuan awoke with a start, immediately opened his eyes, and his gaze returned to clarity.

Their lips met, their eyes locked. Chen Xuan desperately wanted to pull away, but he coughed incessantly with his back to Bai Li.

"Well, actually I wanted to help you detoxify, not take the opportunity to do anything like that?" Chen Xuan's voice was somewhat flustered, like a lost child searching for direction.

"Well, after absorbing the evil dragon's inner core, your cultivation will be greatly enhanced. Master, please go out first. I'll wait for you outside. You mustn't be distracted; this opportunity is crucial for you." Chen Xuan's words were filled with concern and trepidation.

Chen Xuan was a little confused. Last time, when he and Lu Xueqi pledged their love, they also kissed here, but it was just a light peck.

This time, it was... well, you know. This time it was a French kiss, something Chen Xuan had never experienced before, which caused his heart to pound wildly even after he regained consciousness.

Chen Xuan hurriedly left behind two sentences before turning into a gust of wind and disappearing from his residence.

The speed was so fast, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky. Seeing this, Bai Li pouted and said, "Silly girl, hmph." Bai Li looked like an adorable little girl, making one want to smile but also feel a pang of tenderness.

Fortunately, Bai Li knew what was important. Although she was dissatisfied, she immediately got up and sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb the inner core of the Red Phoenix from the Great Demon Ni Lin, who had reached the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm.

"If I were to fully absorb and refine this dragon pearl, which has accumulated such cultivation, I might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in one go!" Bai Li's eyes were filled with determination and anticipation.

Then she looked gratefully at the spot where Chen Xuan had disappeared and whispered, "Master, Bai Li will never be a burden to you."

Then, Bai Li closed her eyes and began to fully absorb the inner core of the evil dragon by circulating the "Six Scrolls of Earthly Immortals".

Her focused expression made it seem as if the whole world consisted only of her and that magical evil dragon's inner core.
