Chapter 235 Soothing to the Bone and Warming to the Heart
The night was as dark as ink, and the candlelight flickered gently inside the bamboo window, filling the room with warmth.

Su Cheng carefully settled Lü Hongxi on the bed, his fingertips brushing against the stray strands of hair on her forehead.

"Senior sister, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she had already closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

Su Cheng paused for a moment, then a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips as he tucked the blanket around her.

His previous stubbornness and bravado now seem to be nothing more than a spent force; he really needs to rest and recuperate.

And this campaign has also brought them considerable benefits—

[Absorption of Heavenly Demonic Aura: Ten Years] [Heavenly Demonic Sword Seal, Deduction Progress: 0.07%]

As his internal energy circulated, he seemed to gain some insight. That wisp of demonic sword intent seemed to be able to move at his will.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Shi Xuan suddenly snorted in his mind, "It took so long to finish."

Su Cheng snapped out of his daze, his gaze falling on the puppet beside him. He leaned down and kissed the jade hairpin in her hair.

"I'm a little late getting back. I'm sorry to have kept Xuan'er waiting."

"you"

Shi Xuan blushed slightly: "Who's waiting for you? Don't overthink it."

"It's getting late now, we..."

"Never."

Seeing his smiling face, Shi Xuan blushed and scolded, "You only know how to tease people as soon as you get back. Why don't you think about how to explain to Miss Bai?"

"Hmm?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to the other bed: "Miss Bai is awake?"

Only a few strands of pure white hair were visible from under the brocade quilt. Her body was curled up and motionless, as if she was pretending to be asleep.

“She will naturally notice the commotion you made once she regains some of her senses.”

Shi Xuan lowered his voice, a hint of embarrassment in it: "I didn't have time to stop her; it seems she just happened to see you holding Miss Lü in your arms while spanking her."

Su Cheng: “.”

Seeing his slightly embarrassed expression, Shi Xuan couldn't help but smile: "You were so unrestrained just now, you almost made Miss Lü cry, and now you know how to be ashamed?"

"cough"

Su Cheng said sullenly, "Senior Sister prefers this way, I'm just going along with her wishes."

"I can see you're enjoying it too." Shi Xuan said coquettishly, "Just don't go astray."

"Don't worry, Xuan'er, at most we'll change positions a few times."

"No." Shi Xuan's ears turned bright red. He bit his lip and hesitated for a long time before whispering, "That kind of... too embarrassing."

Su Cheng chuckled, then lightly kissed the jade hairpin before picking up the puppet's soft, delicate body and rushing towards the grotto in the back mountain.

Bai Lingling quietly opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, Xiao Su was considerate and didn't say anything, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to face her.

only.
"If he holds me in his arms, will I be treated like that?"

Bai Lingling buried her delicate face in the blanket, her petite body unconsciously curling up, her heart beating inexplicably faster.

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt a warm current rising in my abdomen.

"This is."

Realizing that Su Cheng had once again gone to reshape his flesh and blood, his gaze softened, and a sweet smile appeared on his lips.

Unlike the intense stimulation of branding a spiritual mark, this feeling is as warm as a spring breeze, exceptionally gentle and soothing.
"woo"

Bai Lingling covered her cherry lips, her eyes glazed over, and let out a barely audible whimper in the quilt.

"The bones are going to melt."

Inside the dimly lit cave—

Su Cheng held the puppet in one arm, suspended in the remains of the giant dragon, his palm lightly touching the broken dragon bone that was as large as a mountain.

The bone was already riddled with holes, barely maintaining its skeletal outline.

Now, nourished by numerous spiritual herbs, a faint trace of life is emerging, with tiny flesh and blood slowly regenerating around it.

"If this continues, will it really allow it to fully recover?"

Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "Not to mention the enormous amount of rare and precious materials required, at the current pace, it will probably take three to five years to complete."

"At this moment, we are merely laying the foundation and consolidating our strength."

With the ancient dragon energy circulating in Su Cheng's palm, combined with the Three-Flavor Bone-Healing Elixir, the spiderweb-like bone cracks were healing at a visible speed.

"Once the dragon bones and tendons are fully restored, the many injuries in her body will gradually heal."

[Dragon Bone Repair Progress: 0.5%] [Dragon Tendon Repair Progress: 0.2%]

The dragon bones are absorbing the ancient dragon's mystical energy; repair efficiency continues to improve.

Suddenly, a chilling aura seeped from his bones, like a venomous python coiling around his arm. Su Cheng frowned slightly and absorbed it all with a backhand.

[Absorbing the Corpse Energy of the Fiend Dragon: One Year / Two Years]

The resentful dragon's turbid energy is being refined, transforming into the corpse energy of a malevolent dragon.

"This aura"

Shi Xuan's voice was slightly deep: "It is more insidious than ordinary evil spirits. Ordinary cultivators would probably turn into blood and water the moment they touch it."

"It must be caused by a long-standing internal injury in Miss Bai's body, which even she herself is powerless to remove."

A cold star suddenly appeared in Su Cheng's eyes, and a faint light bloomed in his mind.

Surrounded by the star array, a jet-black star gradually took shape.

[Destiny Star: Evil Dragon Transformed into Destiny]

The jet-black dragon patterns seemed to move across its body like a living creature, with its muscles bulging and twisting.

Su Cheng took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness within his body.

"Does this ominous aura condense into a destiny star? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Shi Xuan asked softly.

"It's alright." He stretched his muscles and bones, and his physique had clearly improved again.

After a moment's hesitation, he channeled a century's worth of spiritual energy into the new star, and the black light instantly intertwined and condensed into a profound mark.

[Destiny Mark: Burning Dragon] [Flaming Dragon's Might, Refining True Fire]

A sudden burning sensation rose in Su Cheng's dantian, and his aura changed accordingly.

This brand not only fuels the fire, but also nurtures the dragon's might and enhances its affinity.
Gazing at the gradually healing dragon bones before him, he seemed lost in thought.

If this life star is nurtured further, it might be beneficial for healing the dragon's body.

With this in mind, he simply poured in another five hundred years of spiritual energy and condensed two more imprints.

"call--"

Su Cheng's body was instantly filled with dragon might, and cold black flames emanated from his back, as if condensing into a blazing wheel.

[Destiny Mark: Bone Devouring] [Devouring Spiritual Essence and Refining Marrow, Forging Bones and Producing Fragrance]

[The Mark of Destiny: Bad Blood] [Flesh and Blood Reconstructed, the Evil Body Reborn]

[The three Heavenly Mandate Imprints have been achieved; supernatural powers have begun to evolve.]

[Evil Control True Power, Level One Divine Ability] [Control the True Dragon, Command All Things]

The spiritual patterns in his sea of ​​consciousness flickered uncertainly. Su Cheng silently concealed the black flames surrounding him, but a subtle expression appeared between his brows.

These three marks are indeed very mysterious; they can help heal oneself and also benefit Miss Bai.

It was just this supernatural power that evolved in the end.
"What's wrong?"

Shi Xuan keenly noticed his unusual behavior: "Could it be that there's something wrong with your destiny star?"

“The supernatural power is rather strange.” Su Cheng stared at the dark patterns flowing in his palm, his expression slightly complicated.

"It is a peculiar dual cultivation method that can even control the body of a true dragon."

Shi Xuan: “.”

After a long silence, the tips of her ears gradually turned blush, and she suddenly said with embarrassment and annoyance, "This...this kind of supernatural power...you are not allowed to use it on me!"

Su Cheng was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "Don't worry, how could I bully you like that?"

Moreover, Xuan'er is so docile and charming in bed; a few kisses are enough for her to shyly cooperate. There's no need to use such supernatural powers to forcibly control her.

"How could I not know your wicked intentions?"

Shi Xuan blushed and whispered, "So this supernatural power can really only be used for dual cultivation?"

"Not really."

Dozens of freshly made spirit pills reappeared in Su Cheng's palm, surrounded by ancient dragon energy, and were pressed back onto the cracked dragon bone.

"But right now, it's more important to heal Miss Bai's injuries first."

The profound energy and pure medicinal power seeped deep into the bones, causing the entire mountain range to tremble.

The body of the Dragon Ancestor, which had been sealed away for thousands of years, seemed to be touched and trembled slightly.

Inside the bamboo house, a few soft, gentle moans echoed softly.

Bai Lingling hugged the soft pillow tightly to her chest, her clear eyes veiled with a layer of misty water.

It suddenly got much hotter.

Her porcelain-white face grew even redder, and her soft breath became slightly rapid.

Thinking that Su Cheng was carefully healing her wounds in the cave, Bai Lingling felt both grateful and shy.

"Xiao Su meant well, I shouldn't have overthought things. I should have just been more patient."
