In the evening, the most captivating sight is naturally the moon in the night sky.

Does that mean the moon, or rather, the power of moonlight, can quickly qualify her for cultivation?

Thinking that what she's desired for many years might finally be within reach, Jiang Qingge felt her heart fill with joy.

At this moment, she heard footsteps outside, seemingly someone heading towards the small courtyard.

These footsteps were clearly different from Lingyue's.

Aside from Lingyue, very few people usually came this way.

In an instant, Jiang Qingge guessed who it was.

"He's back?"

Just as she wanted to share her increasingly frequent unusual moments with Lu Ye, he happened to return, and Jiang Qingge immediately walked out of the room.

A moment later, looking at the linen-clad young man at the gate, a smile appeared in Jiang Qingge's eyes.

"You're back? I have good news to tell you..."

Walking swiftly to Lu Ye, Jiang Qingge said, her voice slightly trembling, "I'm feeling stranger and stranger... It seems I'm really close to being able to cultivate!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and kissed the familiar masculine face close at hand...

Youluo, who had just leapt onto the rooftop, felt her eyes go dark seeing this unfold.

In broad daylight... How could the lord do this?!

To Youluo, this was a bolt out of the blue!

She had only just arrived in Cloud Leaf City, and she witnessed this.

The lord wasn't like this before!

Although there might be some good qualities about the lord's husband, but... haven't you seen any kind of man before?

Can't bear to look...

Youluo, who had followed the Lord of the Nine Netherworld for hundreds of years, had never seen such a sight.

Yet... even though she didn't want to look, she was intrigued.

So, Youluo covered her eyes with one hand while spreading her fingers apart slightly.

After a moment, Lu Ye said, "Alright, let me take a look at you."

"Mmm, thank you." After letting go, Jiang Qingge's cheeks were a little flushed, and she skillfully extended a hand to Lu Ye.

On the rooftop, Youluo was even more bewildered: you two were like that just now... and now you're being polite?!

It was truly baffling to Youluo. Was being in a relationship such a complicated affair?

About two minutes later.

Lu Ye retracted his Grandmaster's Source Qi in surprise, finding a weak but genuine trace of inner qi within Jiang Qingge's meridians!

This meant she no longer needed to undergo the stage of energy introduction; she could directly step into the Condensing Origin Realm through cultivation.

"You've already got a trace of inner qi in you," Lu Ye said. "Have you felt a noticeable increase in your strength lately?"

"Yes!" Jiang Qingge replied, a little embarrassed. "Just before your return, I accidentally broke a teapot."

Entering the house with Jiang Qingge, they saw the broken handle of the teapot still on the table.

"Do you know any cultivation techniques?" After some thought, Lu Ye said, "You should try cultivating now; try controlling your inner qi to prevent unnecessary bursts of strength."

"I do, I've read quite a bit on cultivation techniques before."

This surprised Lu Ye somewhat; she didn't know how to cultivate, yet she could endure the dullness of these techniques? But since she does, it makes things easier.

Inside the room.

Lu Ye casually set up a barrier and then said, "You can choose a cultivation technique that suits you best, and try guiding the inner qi within you to officially settle in your dantian for your own use."

Nodding slightly, Jiang Qingge thought for a moment before closing her eyes.

With Lu Ye acting as her guardian, Jiang Qingge quickly immersed herself, and a myriad of cultivation incantations spontaneously emerged in her mind.

However, when she truly attempted cultivation, Jiang Qingge found it quite challenging.

Before long, she could distinctly sense the turbulent flow within her, known as "inner qi," but controlling it was incredibly difficult.

"I don't believe..."

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Qingge persistently pursued that thread of inner qi.

Wanting to grasp her destiny, no matter how arduous the path of cultivation, she couldn't give up!

...

Finally, Jiang Qingge, unsure how much time had passed, sensed her spirit reaching a state of exhaustion.

The once lively inner qi was cautiously guided into her dantian by Jiang Qingge!

In an instant, Jiang Qingge felt as if she had triggered something.

In Lu Ye's perception, a sudden faint Condensing Origin aura flickered on Jiang Qingge, who had previously shown no signs of change!

Additionally, a peculiar, arcane aura lingered for a moment before vanishing.

"Is it that with the touch of cultivation, the seal is slowly unraveling?" A glimmer of understanding flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, a bored Youluo suddenly tensed up, looking towards the courtyard below.

"A familiar aura... Lord, are you finally returning?"

Tears streamed down Youluo's face at that moment.

Since the disappearance of the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, the once-great Nine Nether Race had crumbled and lost its former glory.

Only the return of the once Nine Nether Empress could restore the past splendor of the Nine Nether Race!

Inside the room.

Jiang Qingge slowly opened her eyes and first checked her own status carefully.

After confirming everything was okay and verifying the arrival of a weak stream of qi in her dantian, she exclaimed joyfully, "Husband... I-I seem like I can finally do it!"

"Congratulations, you've finally fulfilled your wish." Lu Ye smiled, his heart filled with emotion.

Judging by the amount of cultivation techniques she knew, Jiang Qingge must have spent a lot of time reading those cultivation and martial technique manuals.

Being able to persist indeed showed her strong determination.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring courtyard.

Jiang Lingyue eagerly finished a round of circulation and exited her cultivation state.

Her and her sister's courtyards weren't far apart, and being at the Postnatal First Layer, her senses were much sharper than ordinary people.

The footsteps entering the adjacent courtyard were something Jiang Lingyue couldn't miss hearing!

"Has the bad guy returned?!"

A little agitated, Jiang Lingyue jumped off the training platform and dashed out of the practice room, running to her sister's courtyard gate.

"Sister... are you home?"

After Jiang Qingge completed her breakthrough, Lu Ye removed the barrier.

At this time, Jiang Lingyue's voice drifted into the room.

"I'm here, come in," Jiang Qingge replied, then whispered to Lu Ye, "A few days ago, the elder from Wuxiang Mountain came to the Jiang Family, wanting to take Lingyue up the mountain for cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's heart stirred; he had heard about this two and a half years ago.

After all this time, the elder from Wuxiang Mountain finally came?

Thinking of this, seeing Jiang Qingge getting up and walking out, Lu Ye followed suit.

In retrospect, it was fortunate he hadn't stayed in the Realm of Chaos a few more days; otherwise, he might not have known this girl had gone to Wuxiang Mountain.

Jiang Lingyue cautiously stepped into the courtyard, then stood at the entrance, staring at the room...

As Jiang Qingge emerged, another figure followed slowly.

At that moment, Jiang Lingyue's eyes widened, afraid she'd seen wrong.

When she finally saw the face of the person behind Jiang Qingge, tears flowed uncontrollably down Jiang Lingyue's face.

Although she knew her current state might arouse her sister's suspicion, the thought of perhaps not seeing the one she missed for a long time overwhelmed her...

The concept of longing was etched deeply in her heart.
