"Judging from the effects of the poison on the Titan, its resistance to poison increases several times after reaching the Hundred-Thousand-Year level. My poison is potent, but it would take quite a while to kill it completely."
"Martial skills can't break through armor, and poison is ineffective. If I encounter a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast again, I'll probably have to put in a lot of effort."
Xiao Yan felt that his fight with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was like two tanks trading blows.
Neither side's attacks could easily break through the other's defenses.
Comparatively, his physical defense was stronger.
Xiao Yi's soft fingers slid across Xiao Yan's sturdy muscles, cleaning away the dirt. Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yi's pure and beautiful face.
"Even if the two of us team up, if we can't break through the defense, it won't mean much."
Xiao Yi opened her mouth and nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
After the previous battle, she understood that even though her strength had increased again, she still couldn't harm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, touching Xiao Yi's soft purple hair and pressing down gently.
Currently, there were probably only three ways to improve combat effectiveness.
The first was the simplest.
It was only necessary to find a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, kill it, and fuse its Soul Ring. This would grant a powerful Soul Skill, and it was highly likely to obtain four at once.
Furthermore, fusing a Soul Beast's Soul Ring could cause a certain change in the Martial Soul.
This would also indirectly improve Xiao Yi's strength.
After merging with the Soul Ring, the Inner Strength within oneself also gets a boost.
The second method is more difficult: to deeply study martial arts.
The ordinary version of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, after some practice, already had moves like slicing, slashing, stabbing, and chopping.
But the merged versions of Boundless Sword and Silent Sword were still just simple stabs, and there was still room for improvement.
Even if the damage wouldn't undergo a qualitative change, increasing the area of effect could still enhance the damage.
This would require time and study.
And to maximize the power of Waterfall Fury Tide, the Inner Strength needed to undergo corresponding changes.
Difficult...
As for the third, it was to develop a brand new martial skill, one powerful enough to threaten a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's physical body.
This was truly super difficult.
Even with Xiao Yi's soft lips offering comfort, Xiao Yan still knitted his brows in a deep frown.
Judging from the Waterfall Fury Tide technique, to unleash its full power, he would also need Inner Strength with the corresponding attribute.
Pure mastery of the technique alone wasn't nearly enough.
He had to create an internal cultivation method, and at the same time, create a set of martial skill moves.
This wouldn't be something he could accomplish overnight.
And…
His Inner Strength had reached a high level of cultivation. Switching to other cultivation methods mid-way would likely introduce unforeseen conflicts and drawbacks.
Two hours later.
Xiao Yi tightly gripped Xiao Yan's thick arms. After coughing from being choked, she pursed her jade lips, her delicate face blushing as she glanced at Xiao Yan.
Smiling faintly, Xiao Yan didn't bother to dry off. Wearing only shorts, he carried Xiao Yi, who resembled a mermaid, onto the soft rattan bed.
Xiao Yan lay on the bed, continuing to consider the three plans he'd devised.
Xiao Yi, with practiced ease, straddled Xiao Yan's back, her fair fingers pressing firmly into his shoulders.
Under Xiao Yi's finger massage, Xiao Yan's thoughts flowed freely, and he quickly grasped the key points.
Instead of dwelling on the second and third plans right now, it would be better to carefully reconsider the first one.
The second and third plans would take too long, not something that could be completed in days or months.
Hunting Soul Beasts, as long as a suitable choice is found, allows for almost instantaneous improvement.
"Xiao Yi, a little more strength." After understanding this, Xiao Yan rested his head on his arms, enjoying himself.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yi's waist and abdomen moved, her arms pushing against the muscles on Xiao Yan's back, her fair hands slowly moving upwards.
This scene perfectly mirrored the wonderful verses from Romance of the Western Chamber: "Her willow waist swayed, her flower heart gently unfurled, the dew-kissed peony bloomed. Fish and water in harmony, tender stamens, fragrant, butterflies frolic."
The gentle breeze of the morning lightly caressed the thin curtains on the window, and the warm sunlight illuminated the vibrant earth.
The beauty of the night lay in its all-encompassing nature! The lively music of the day had already settled into its vast embrace, and people, weary from a day's labor, could finally rest.
No one could change the natural rhythm of day and night. As the old day passed, a new day broke through the silent night sky with the bright morning light.
After a night's rest, Xiao Yan woke up early. Looking at Xiao Yi in his arms, her cheeks still flushed, he couldn't help but think of a poem – "Unable to move her wrist, so charming she is, and so loving she bows."
Sensing that Xiao Xue and the others were rapidly approaching, Xiao Yan, who wasn't in the habit of staying in bed, gently pinched the soft skin on Xiao Yi's waist: "Time to get up."
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and Xiao Yi groaned softly, slowly waking up.
Her voice was captivating, as if she hadn't yet returned from the sweet dreams of the night before.
After helping Xiao Yi put on a new bellyband, Xiao Yan remade a brand new set of clothes for her.
The advantage of having the Blue Silver Emperor was that he never had to wash clothes.
If they got dirty, he could simply make a new set.
With Xiao Yan's help, the clothes that usually took two or three minutes to put on took a whole hour to complete.
Covering her jade lips, Xiao Yi, with a hint of reproach in her eyes, helped Xiao Yan put on his usual loose black robe.
Helping each other out, that's probably what it means.
"What should we eat today?"
Xiao Yan asked with a smile as he came to the kitchen on the first floor with Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi blinked: Ask me? I don't eat.
Xiao Yan naturally knew what Xiao Yi meant, as they had lived together for many years.
"Stir-fried white ginger, scallops stir-fried with white ginger... we've made those a lot of times. Right..."
Xiao Yan suddenly thought of some of the finest ingredients he had gathered in the Star Dou Great Forest. He swept his palm across his storage jade belt and immediately took out some fresh mushrooms.
"Steamed buns with a mushroom filling, that's a good idea."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yi and began to assign tasks: "I'll handle the dough, and you wash the mushrooms."
Thinking about breakfast last time, Xiao Yi blushed and started working.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yan expertly finished his task.
Watching Xiao Yi still washing the mushrooms, Xiao Yan's hands went around her slender waist, which was barely a handful, and he inhaled the fragrance of her hair, like gardenias, saying, "You're too slow; let me help you."
Before Xiao Yi could react, Xiao Yan gently exerted force with his arms, pulling her onto the counter.
Looking at Xiao Yan in front of her, Xiao Yi pushed her arms against Xiao Yan's chest, shaking her head slightly.
She and Xiao Xue had a connection, and she could sense that Xiao Xue was about to arrive.
