Wang Xiaoqiang was intoxicated by the fragrant breath like flower petals blowing into his mouth, making him feel as if he were floating in a celestial realm.

At the same time, Wang Xiaoqiang was surprised. He didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to do this.

Indeed, he had helped Leng Qingqiu break through her bottleneck and directly advance to the First Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage, which consumed a large amount of Spiritual Power, leaving him quite exhausted. But with over a billion Five Elements Spirit Springs within him, his Spiritual Power was so abundant, he would not be exhausted to the point of breathlessness.

He had casually mentioned it, not expecting Leng Qingqiu to take it seriously and mistakenly believe he could not breathe, then naturally start performing artificial respiration on him.

At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to explain but it was too late, and besides, explaining would make him seem insincere. Thus, he chose to continue the act without stopping...

He continued pretending to be breathless, and under Leng Qingqiu's worried gaze, she had to take deep breaths before passing air from her mouth to Wang Xiaoqiang's. He savored the fragrant breath, the Fragrant Ford, the aromatic sweetness... completely intoxicated in body and soul.

Just then, as Leng Qingqiu was performing artificial respiration, her body had to lean over his. Her fragrant hair kept brushing over Wang Xiaoqiang's face, making his heart itch and his mind wander.

After a good while of artificial respiration, Leng Qingqiu realized Wang Xiaoqiang's breathing had stabilized, and worriedly asked, "Little Qiang, are you feeling better?"

Wang Xiaoqiang dared not continue the act, fearing not only that he might be exposed, but the touch was becoming overwhelming for him. So he waved his hand and said, "No, no problem anymore."

Leng Qingqiu let out a quiet sigh of relief. After the episode of emotional intensity, her Daoist Heart was thrown into disorder. She then sat cross-legged on the ground, gently practicing the Breathing Technique to calm her mind.

Wang Xiaoqiang took out twenty Superior Pills from the Sumeru Ring and placed them on the ground, then released 20,000,000 Spirit Springs for absorption; after the 20,000,000 Spirit Springs absorbed completely, Wang Xiaoqiang controlled them to prevent diffusion, and then absorbed them all at once into his body, restoring the depleted Spiritual Power within.

Once Wang Xiaoqiang replenished his Spiritual Power, Leng Qingqiu steadied her Daoist Heart, resumed her icy demeanor, and said, "Little Qiang, you've saved me twice and helped me once. That means I owe you three favors. What do you want as repayment?"

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled, "I don't ask for anything, just hope you can speak a little softer to me. Also, I love seeing your smile. If you smile once, I'll consider it repaying one favor; if you smile twice, it's two; if you smile three times, you owe me nothing from now on..."

Leng Qingqiu's heart fluttered upon hearing this, disrupting her freshly steadied Daoist Heart, and her fair face flushed red. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang coldly, then she reverted to her icy demeanor, playfully scolded, "You know I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, why are you teasing me? It's not good for my cultivation."

Wang Xiaoqiang grasped Leng Qingqiu's small hand and said, "Qingqiu, there's nothing wrong in pursuing the Heavenly Dao, but I hope you can adopt another path. If someone discards family and friends and abandons the Seven Emotions and Six Desires for cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, what's the point of cultivation then?"

"Alright, Little Qiang, let's not talk about this anymore." Leng Qingqiu shook off Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, irritatedly said, "Let me send you off. I owe you favors that I will repay eventually..."

Wang Xiaoqiang saw that the Ruthless Woman was about to kick him out and shamelessly lounged on the soft couch, saying, "I'm not leaving. I'm sleeping here tonight."

"If you don't leave, I will." Leng Qingqiu said and headed towards the door.

"I killed the Demon Army's scout. Now they're frantically searching outside for me. If you go out like this, you'll surely be discovered by the Demon Army, and not only endanger me but yourself too." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Leng Qingqiu stopped upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, turned back and pointed to a room, saying, "You sleep in my room, I'll sleep on the soft couch."

Hearing Wang Xiaoqiang insist on sleeping on the soft couch, Leng Qingqiu nodded and said nothing more as she walked to the room.

Wang Xiaoqiang comfortably stretched, closed his eyes, just about to sleep, felt something warm covering him. He cracked open an eye and saw Leng Qingqiu covering him with a thick blanket, his heart warmed.

Leng Qingqiu saw Wang Xiaoqiang open his eyes, her cold face flushed red and quickly turned away, hastening into the room.

Sleeping in Leng Qingqiu's place, Wang Xiaoqiang felt at ease and somewhat cozy, quickly falling asleep with closed eyes.

The next day.

When Wang Xiaoqiang woke up, he found Leng Qingqiu had already prepared breakfast. While eating, he asked, "I heard there are many Spirit Mines in Snow Territory. Do you know the distribution points of Spirit Mines?"

"Aren't you commanding an army? Why are you interested in mining Spirit Mines now?" Leng Qingqiu asked with surprise.

"I've hit a bottleneck in my cultivation. Metal Element Spiritual Energy from Spirit Mines helps me greatly, so I must locate and mine them..." Wang Xiaoqiang said honestly.

"After breakfast, I'll take you there." Leng Qingqiu said.

Leng Qingqiu's response indicated she indeed knew the distribution of Spirit Mines, so Wang Xiaoqiang said, "That's great!"

After breakfast, Wang Xiaoqiang went with Leng Qingqiu to search for Spirit Mines.

If you don't know, it's difficult; if you know, it's not hard. Leng Qingqiu had lived in Snow Territory for years and was well-versed in Spirit Mines' distribution, leading Wang Xiaoqiang swiftly to a Spirit Mine area.

However, things turned troublesome when they were discovered by a large group of Demon Army and followed while heading to the Spirit Mine.

"Looks like if we don't shake off this tail, today's mining cannot proceed." Leng Qingqiu's Divine Sense encompassed the Demon Army, her dainty brows furrowed with some frustration.

"No worries, not only will we mine today, but we won't have to do the work ourselves." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a playful smile.

Leng Qingqiu said, "This group of Demon Cultivators is sizable, possibly over a thousand strong. Are you confident in handling them?"

"From the fluctuation of demonic qi, it's true the Demon Cultivators exceed a thousand, but only two Demon Kings lead them... Two Demon Kings should be easily manageable..."

The reason Wang Xiaoqiang dared speak so was that the Patterned Beast had just mutated, and its power doubled, gaining six Demon Arms.

Moreover, with only Leng Qingqiu by his side, he could use Demon Droplet. Even if discovered by her, she wouldn't treat him as Demon Race because their relationship was special, and Leng Qingqiu owed him three favors.

While speaking, a large group of Demon Cultivators had already caught up, fanned out forming a circle, trapping them inside. Indeed, as their Divine Sense showed, there were over a thousand Demon Cultivators, with two Demon Kings leading.

"Qingqiu, you distract the Demon Army, I'll handle the two Demon Kings..." Wang Xiaoqiang assigned briefly, then charged at the two Demon Kings. (To be continued.
