Chapter 26: You Are So Beautiful.
After the Inner Court Trials concluded, Xiao Ling had rarely been seen within the academy. He was nowhere to be seen in the Alchemy Department and the Battle Zone, where he used to frequent.
It was now three days after the Inner Court Trials. After several days of training, coupled with the trials on the battlefield, Xiao Ling's cultivation had already reached the level of a four-star Grand Fighter. He only needed to reach the seven-star Grand Fighter level and consume one Three-Striped Green Spirit Pill and two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills to instantly reach the peak Grand Fighter level. Feeling the vast Dou Qi within him, Xiao Ling felt quite satisfied.
According to academy rules, within seven days of the trials, the top fifty students must begin preparing to enter the Inner Court. Xiao Ling and the other top five students will be able to choose a time within these seven days to enter the academy's library. As a reward, they will be eligible to choose something of their own from within the library.
Xiao Ling had also decided what reward he would choose for entering the library.
During the previous Inner Court trials, Han Xian hadn't used the phantom golden fire of the seventh-tier Phantom Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast from the original novel. Xiao Ling speculated that the beast fire was most likely a reward he had received in the library. Even if his Burning Technique didn't reach the intermediate Profound Realm, absorbing this seventh-tier beast fire would likely accelerate his cultivation.
Xiao Ling was currently in the courtyard discussing his plans for the Fire Energy Hunting Competition with his companions, aiming to retake the Inner Court veterans.
They sat in the courtyard pavilion, Xiao Ling with Xiao Xun'er to his left and Han Yue to his right. Inhaling their delicate fragrances, Xiao Ling felt a wave of excitement.
As they chatted, his right hand inadvertently rested on Han Yue's long legs beneath the tablecloth. The soft, supple flesh and the smooth touch of her black silk intensified his desire for her. He decided to try the lap pillow privately one day. After the events of six months ago, their relationship had blossomed, sometimes engaging in intimate gestures.
Feeling the hand playing tricks on her leg, Han Yue's face remained calm, yet she felt a surge of shyness. She glanced at Xiao Ling beside her calmly and reached out to push it away, only to be caught in his grip. They intertwined their fingers, and she struggled but couldn't.
Seeing Xiao Ling's nonchalant demeanor, Han Yue had no choice but to hold his hand. If the junior wanted to hold hands, there was nothing she could do but let him hold hers.
Han Yue's delicate hand was white and delicate, like a freshly peeled eggshell. The young man gently rubbed it, feeling the softness of the hand in his palm, as soft as boneless. It felt wonderful, like a piece of white jade, incredibly cool. The black silk on it added a touch of smoothness.
Xiao Xun'er, standing nearby, seemed to sense something and glanced in Xiao Ling's direction, seeing that his expression was normal, without the slightest emotion. He glanced suspiciously at Han Yue, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "Brother Xiao Ling and I have been childhood sweethearts. How could he possibly like someone else? We're made for each other."
Ultimately, the group decided to wait near the exit, letting the senior students snatch up the new students first, and then the others would snatch up the seniors.
After the discussion, everyone returned to their own courtyards. Xiao Ling also entered his room and began to practice, aligning his form and preparing for the next day's entry into the library to obtain treasures.
The next morning,
Xiao Ling was practicing the Xuan-level high-level fighting technique, "Swallow Return," in the courtyard.
It had to be said that the fighting technique this wealthy woman had given him yesterday was quite useful; it was a case of "returning the favor as you would have them do for you."
Just as Xiao Ling was immersed in his fighting technique, the doorbell rang.
He stopped practicing, walked to the courtyard gate, opened it, and looked out. As expected, it was Senior Han Yue, calling him to join him in the library.
Glancing around and seeing no one paying attention, Xiao Ling grabbed Han Yue's delicate hand and pulled her into the courtyard.
Giving Xiao Ling a helpless look, Han Yue softly said, "It's almost time to go to the library. Don't keep them waiting." Even as she said this, Xiao Ling held her hand tightly, making no effort to resist.
Xiao Ling, always thick-skinned, said with a grin, "It's not a big deal. We'll ride over there on the Rayquaza and maybe even get there before them."
Xiao Ling acted quite frankly, but Han Yue felt uncomfortable, her cheeks flushing.
Just then, Xiao Ling reached out again, wrapping his arms around Han Yue's slender waist from behind, pulling her into his arms.
Han Yue couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ling with a hint of anger, but being held in his arms inexplicably comforted her, her emotions instantly calming.
After six months, Xiao Ling was now the same height as Han Yue. Their eyes met, and an air of ambiguity lingered in the air.
Xiao Ling smiled broadly at Han Yue, his expression slightly startled. Han Yue's face was so close, yet his gaze seemed vague, and his heart fluttered.
Han Yue didn't notice anything unusual, and instinctively parted her red lips. "What's wrong?" Xiao Ling asked softly,
gazing at the pretty face and alluring red lips so close to him, and without hesitation, "Han Yue, you're so beautiful. I love you so much."
Han Yue's long eyelashes trembled, and for some reason, she felt as if a kitten were tickling her.
Their faces, already so close, were brought together once more, their hearts mingling.
Warmth, warmth, a subtle fragrance, a faint sweetness in the mouth—that was the feeling Xiao Ling felt at that moment.
In the instant their faces touched so intimately, all thoughts vanished from his mind. His clear blue-gold eyes held only Han Yue's exquisite features and graceful figure.
Han Yue felt the same way, her gaze dazed, her gaze now focused solely on Xiao Ling.
An indescribable amount of time passed before their lips parted, bringing them back to reality.

Looking at the silver thread between their lips, Han Yue frantically distanced herself, somewhat bewildered. Xiao Ling simply touched his lips, savoring the sensation.
The two were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere became subtle.
Fortunately, at this moment, Rayquaza, who had just been sleeping in the room, was awakened by the noise of the two. He turned into a black stream of light and appeared in front of the two. He licked Xiao Ling's face and arched Han Yue's back. This broke the somewhat subtle atmosphere.
Xiao Ling didn't think about it anymore. He jumped up and sat on Rayquaza's back, and stretched out his hand to Han Yue.
Seeing this scene, Han Yue also came back to his senses. He gave Xiao Ling a good-looking look, stretched out his hand to put on Xiao Ling's hand, and sat behind him with a little force.
