……

"Moonlight?"

Cai'er's voice trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered nervously.

Moonlight pressed his lips to her reddened earlobe and whispered a few words.

Cai'er froze instantly, her ear tips turning bright red as if they were about to bleed, and she gently struggled in his arms.

"No, no!"

Cai'er bit her lower lip in protest, but her flushed face and darting eyes made her refusal completely ineffective.

"Just once." Yuehui tightened her arms, holding the person firmly in her embrace, her voice pleading with a hint of coquetry, "Cai'er is the best."

Cai'er's voice was muffled: "Yuehui, you, you... don't push your luck."

Yuehui felt the accelerated heartbeat of the person in her arms, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

He gently cupped Cai'er's face, gazing into her sparkling grey eyes: "I swear... I won't hurt you, okay?"

Cai'er lowered her long eyelashes, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

After a long silence, he nodded almost imperceptibly, his voice barely audible: "Just once."

A sly glint flashed in Yuehui's eyes.

(If you've promised the first time, why worry about not doing it a second time?)

"Cai'er," he murmured softly, his thumb stroking the girl's burning cheek, "you are so good."

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and covered those soft, cherry blossom jelly-like lips with his own.

Cai'er trembled, her long eyelashes fluttering like startled butterfly wings, but she ultimately did not push him away.

……

Morning light streamed through the gauze curtains, and the moonlight slowly opened its eyes.

Cai'er was curled up in his arms, her sleeping face serene and beautiful, her long eyelashes casting a light shadow on her cheeks.

A gentle smile unconsciously curved his lips.

Last night's events flashed before my eyes—her flawless, porcelain-like skin, her soft, cherry-blossom-like lips, and her long, shapely, and supple thighs.
His most surprising discovery was that Cai'er had the blood of a certain "divine beast" flowing through her veins.

This realization stirred a strange flutter in Yuehui's heart, and her fingertips unconsciously stroked the cheek of the person in her arms.

Cai'er nuzzled unconsciously in Yuehui's arms, letting out a soft hum like a kitten, before slowly opening her gray-white eyes.

"Is it already...morning?" Her voice was soft and sweet, typical of early morning.

"Yes, it's time to get up and wash up. We need to go to the assembly point," Yuehui replied softly.

"Hmm," Cai'er nodded, propping herself up to sit up.

As she moved her legs, her face suddenly flushed, and she muttered under her breath, "You bad guy!"

"Huh? What?" Yuehui feigned ignorance.

"N-nothing!" Cai'er shook her head in a panic. "You go out first, I'll change my clothes and then go to the hall."

Yuehui grinned mischievously and leaned closer: "Can't we just change it? It's not like we didn't look at it." Before she could finish speaking, a soft pillow was thrown at her face.

"Get out of here!" Cai'er's voice suddenly rose, her ear tips turning bright red.

"Okay, okay." Yuehui smiled as she caught the pillow, quickly changed her clothes, and said, "I'll wait for you in the lobby."

Cai'er only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door close.

She cupped her burning cheeks in her hands and muttered softly, "Brother Yuehui has become naughty; I shouldn't have been soft-hearted last night."

……

About fifteen minutes later, Cai'er arrived late in the hall.

"Everyone's here." Moonlight looked around at everyone. "Haochen, is Eternal Melody ready?"

Long Haochen nodded in response: "The energy has been fully charged. It can be activated approximately every six hours."

(Once every twelve hours?)

"Ying'er is currently focusing on building her spiritual aperture, so she won't participate this time." He decisively ordered, "Haochen, prepare to teleport!" "Understood!"

The five people quickly formed a circle, protecting Long Haochen in the center.

As the Eternal Melody burst forth with dazzling white light, the six figures vanished from the hall in an instant.

Having explored the Tower of Eternity before, they have now begun to understand its patterns:
Each stage consists of three levels. Once a stage is completed, monsters will no longer spawn in the first three levels, and you can start the challenge directly from the starting level of the next stage.

Last time they made it all the way to the fifth level, so this time they were teleported directly to the starting point of the third level.

After clearing the fourth and fifth levels, Yuehui and the others also obtained twenty clusters of spiritual energy.

The group cautiously stepped into the sixth level, but the scene before them was completely different from before!

A solid pillar of light stood before them like a pillar of heaven, and a strange red light slowly condensed at the top of the pillar.

"Something's not right!" Long Haochen's expression suddenly changed. "It's the soul of a powerful being! Eternal Melody tells me that such beings retain their fighting instincts from their previous life, and..."

His voice suddenly rose, "This is fire-attribute!"

Before the words were even finished, the red light poured down like water, merging with the skeleton warriors on the ground.

In an instant, two crimson flames ignited in the skull's empty eye sockets, and the bones swelled to three meters tall with a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.

The bone knife and shield turned a molten crimson red, and the flames rising from them scorched and distorted the air.

“It seems,” Moonlight squinted, “that was just an appetizer. This is Electrolux’s real test.”

"Want to come at me together?" Lu Xi asked.

Yuehui raised her hand to stop her: "Yuanyuan, go and test the depth."

"Just what I wanted!" Wang Yuanyuan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and the Giant Spirit God's Shield instantly emitted a dazzling silver light.

"Spinning Shield Sky-Splitting Strike!"

She spun rapidly like a top, transforming into a silver hurricane that hurtled towards the skeleton warrior.

In that split second, the red skeleton warrior suddenly raised his bone sword, and the crimson flames rising around him instantly contracted, condensing entirely on the blade.

Suddenly, a solidified, crystalline red blade light burst forth from the tip of the bone knife, its intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

"Oh no! Yuan Yuan, retreat quickly!" Long Haochen's exclamation had just rang out.

The crimson blade of light swept through Wang Yuanyuan's Spinning Shield Sky-Splitting Strike with overwhelming force.

The relentless blade strike aimed straight for Wang Yuanyuan's chest, forcing her to hastily activate the "Space Shield" skill that had solidified on her armor.

However, what was shocking was that this spatial shield, which was strong enough to withstand a sixth-order attack, was as fragile as paper in front of that crystal-red blade of light.

The blade's edge pierced the shield as easily as a hot knife through butter, and it looked poised to slice Wang Yuanyuan in two—

At the critical moment, the red light on the bone knife suddenly disappeared.

The originally fierce slash turned into a light slap, the blade landing steadily on Wang Yuanyuan's breastplate, sending her flying back to the center of the group.

"Yuanyuan, are you alright?" Lu Xi was the first to rush forward, supporting Wang Yuanyuan who was staggering backward, her voice full of worry.

"It's nothing." Wang Yuanyuan clutched her chest, took a few deep breaths, and shook her head. "It stopped at the last moment, but the vibration was a bit muffled."

Moonlight gazed at the skeleton warrior, who had returned to stillness, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that Electrolux has indeed set up protective mechanisms. Everything in this Eternal Tower exists to hone the inheritors."

"Commander!" Wang Yuanyuan stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him angrily. "You actually used me as a guinea pig? What if something really goes wrong?"

"Sorry, sorry," Moonbeam explained with a smile, "It's mainly because your equipment is the best in the whole group, so you're the best at testing the skeleton's strength."

"Hmph!" Wang Yuanyuan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly grinned mischievously. "If there's a next time, I'll let Cai'er bite you!"

Upon hearing this, Cai'er's pretty face under her veil instantly turned bright red. She glared at Wang Yuanyuan before looking away.

Seeing this, Yuehui chuckled softly, then looked seriously at the skeleton warrior:
"Then we'll leave the next month to this senior to hone our practical skills."

……

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

One hundred and twenty miles north of Zhennan Pass, a tranquil lake surrounded by ancient trees suddenly began to shimmer with emerald green light.

"The Dream Temple is about to appear!"
