There was a flash of intoxication that was hard to conceal in Xiao Ling's eyes. His face slowly approached, and finally, his lips pressed against that heart-beating softness without hesitation.

The two of them felt each other's warmth and softness. For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped for them, leaving only each other's heartbeat and this sweet touch.

Chu Wanqing was stunned, her body stiffened instantly, and the panic in her heart was like a raging wave.

She instinctively wanted to resist slightly, trying to break free from this sudden intimacy, but her strength seemed to collapse in the face of Xiao Ling's tenderness, and she was unable to muster any strength.

In the end, she slowly gave up the idea of ​​resistance, and under Xiao Ling's guidance, she slowly immersed herself in this sweet moment, allowing her heart to sink into this tenderness.

Xiao Ling slowly loosened his grip on Chu Wanqing's wrist. His hands gently slid across her delicate body, finally stopping at her slender waist.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling exerted a little force, and the slender body fell obediently into his arms.

Chu Wanqing's body stiffened slightly at this sudden intimate contact, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but soon, that surprise was replaced by some deeper emotion.

At this moment, she seemed to be touched by the tenderness in her heart, and she subconsciously stretched out her arms and tightly held Xiao Ling's arm.

Her actions were full of dependence and trust, and her eyes revealed a gentle light, as if silently telling her response to Xiao Ling.

The two hugged each other tightly, their lips touching, and the gentle touch was like a spring breeze, quietly awakening the emotions deep in their hearts.

At this moment, they expressed their feelings to each other through their actions, melting the ice in each other's hearts...

Chapter 463 The Competition is about to begin

Outside the secret room where Xiao Ling was in seclusion, several figures were quietly floating in the air. Their eyes were all fixed on the direction of the secret room.

These people were the ones who sensed the fluctuations caused by Xiao Ling's breakthrough and rushed over including Xun'er and others.

Time passed quietly, but Xiao Ling still did not come out of the secret room.

It's been so long, why hasn't Xiao Ling come out yet? "Zi Yan frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she finally couldn't help but speak, with a bit of doubt in her voice, "The alchemy meeting will start soon, and if you are late, it will be a bit bad."

"Sister Xun'er, should we go in and remind the young master?" Qing Lin slowly shifted her gaze to the leader Xun'er, her voice carrying a hint of urgency.

Qinglin knew all about Xiao Ling's efforts for this Alchemy Conference, and she knew how much Xiao Ling valued this competition. Therefore, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that any mistake would cause her young master to miss the opportunity to participate in this competition.

Xun'er frowned slightly when she heard this, and seemed to be touched by the worries of the two girls. However, her expression soon returned to calm. She shook her head gently, and her tone revealed a hint of firmness and trust: "Since Brother Xiao Ling has not shown up yet, he must have his own sense of propriety and is dealing with some important matters. We might as well wait here patiently and don't worry too much..."

Xun'er's words were like a gentle spring breeze, calming the emotions of everyone present. Her calmness made people relax their tense hearts.

Although delaying the time may cause Xiao Ling to miss the start of the last round of the Alchemy Competition and thus be late, but after all, the rules are made by people, and there is always room for flexibility.

Considering Xiao Ling's status in Danta and his good relationship with Danta, even if there is a delay, Danta will surely make some concessions.

Furthermore, even if some old guys in Danta wanted to use rules to pressure others and made puzzling decisions, Xun'er, as the eldest daughter of the ancient clan, had enough confidence.

In her opinion, Danta would never ignore her face. After all, the reputation of the ancient clan was also very important on the continent.

As if sensing the growing worry in everyone's hearts, the door of the secret room that had been closed for countless days and nights finally opened slowly from the inside out after a period of silence.

With a long creak, the door opened. The sound echoed in the quiet air, breaking the original tranquility.

This sudden movement immediately attracted several people who were talking, and their eyes turned to the gradually opening door.

The sunlight poured down from great heights like running water, passing through the gaps in the eaves and scattering in patches into the depths of the secret room.

In the interweaving of light and shadow, a slender figure gradually walked from the darkness to the light.

As the figure moved, it gradually became clearer before everyone's eyes.

The sunlight cast a soft halo on his body, making his outline appear clearer.

Haha, I seem to have made you worried. I’m really sorry.”

The moment Xiao Ling stepped out of the secret room, he looked up at the people standing in the air. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint and gentle smile.

Seeing Xiao Ling appear, several women felt a surge of joy in their hearts. They lightly floated to the ground and gathered around Xiao Ling like colorful clouds chasing the moon.

This scene is like a painting of stars surrounding the moon. If others witness it, they will be extremely envious.

Being surrounded by so many beautiful women, how can other men not feel jealous? Some men may even become mentally unbalanced and unable to control themselves.

Even Chu Wanqing, who had already disappeared and quietly left the place, could not help but be attracted by the scene surrounded by beauties below, and her eyes involuntarily lingered for a moment.

Seeing this scene, the resentment in her heart caused by Xiao Ling's sudden attack seemed to deepen.

Gently touching her still slightly swollen lips, Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth and whispered to herself, "This little bastard, how dare he be so frivolous to me? Now it seems that he is indeed a playboy. I will teach you a lesson next time if I have the chance."

As if something was touched deep in his soul, Xiao Ling suddenly raised his head, his eyes piercing through the sky, staring at the void in the distance.

Although he didn't catch anything unusual in his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

This scene fell into the eyes of Chu Wanqing who was quietly leaving. She suppressed the shame and anger in her heart and quickened her pace of leaving.

At the same time, a woman's subtle cold snort suddenly sounded in the depths of Xiao Ling's mind, and the inexplicable feeling gradually faded away.

After realizing this, Xiao Ling also understood that Chu Wanqing had indeed left.

"See you next time. I won't let you run away so easily again..."

After talking with Xun'er and the others, Xiao Ling did not delay too much and several people set off one after another. The destination of their trip was directly to the venue of the final competition of the Alchemy Association.

……

This is a breathtakingly vast square, the scale of which is enough to shock people.

The square was surrounded by huge crowds of people, as dense as ants, extending to the limit of vision.

The deafening noise, like the roar of an angry dragon, resounded throughout the sky. The sound waves were so strong that they even tore the clouds in the sky into pieces.

Above the square, numerous stone platforms were suspended in the air. Like constellations in the sky, they became the focus of the entire venue.

Because the final showdown of this alchemy conference will be fiercely fought on this stone platform.

After the relative silence of the past few days, the popularity of the square reached a climax today.

Because today is the day when the alchemy world opens. Only those alchemists who can stand out from the alchemy world will be qualified to continue to participate in the next alchemy meeting.

The atmosphere in the entire square was extremely hot, and countless eyes were focused on the center of the square.

There, a huge portal built of black rock stood tall. Inside the portal, the space was fluctuating and distorted. That was the exit of the Dan Realm.

Soon, those contestants who successfully pass the second level will step out of this door and welcome their moment of glory.

On a prominent platform in the square, Xuan Kongzi stood quietly, his eyes as sharp as torches, overlooking the boiling scene below. His long robe fluttered gently in the wind, making him look particularly detached.

On both sides of him stood two girls with very different temperaments, but both were stunningly beautiful. They were Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

"In a moment, the Dan Realm will reopen. When all the contestants show up, you two can show up here together. This way, even if the onlookers or those who come to watch the game notice you, they will only think that you have just walked out of the Dan Realm. This arrangement can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Xuan Kongzi's tone was calm, but his voice was clearly heard by Dan Chen and Cao Ying.

The two women nodded in agreement. At this moment, they looked towards the magnificent square below, their eyes flickering with anticipation.

They have already made full preparations for the upcoming Alchemy Competition. When the moment comes, they will go all out to show their talents and strengths...

"Hmm? It seems that Xiao Ling has arrived. I heard that he was in seclusion practicing, so I thought he would show up later."

At this moment, Xuan Kongzi seemed to sense something and uttered a low cry of surprise. His eyes followed the sensation and then headed to the top of a tall tower at the edge of the square.

At the top of the tower, a man and a woman stood hand in hand, their figures standing out in the sunlight.

When he saw the man's face clearly, it was none other than Xiao Ling who had just ended his retreat.

Xiao Ling naturally also felt Xuan Kongzi's gaze. He turned his head to look in that direction and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then, his gaze turned to Cao Ying and Dan Chen who were standing beside Xuan Kongzi.

At this moment, Cao Ying looked towards Xiao Ling with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She didn't know whether it was because Xiao Ling hadn't come to see her these days, or because Xiao Ling was accompanied by a beautiful woman instead of herself. Her melancholy was obvious.

Danchen seemed a little shy, but despite this, she still gave Xiao Ling a gentle smile. The joy in her shyness was like a flower quietly blooming in spring.

Xiao Ling was about to respond to Cao Ying and Dan Chen, but his attention was suddenly attracted by some unusual movement.

Turning around, I saw waves of violent space fluctuations suddenly emerging from the space gate in the field. The force seemed to tear apart the surrounding air, bringing an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"The space gate is open!" And in the audience seats around the square, someone immediately shouted loudly, the voice full of excitement and anticipation.

At the moment when the space fluctuation emerged, the boundless sea of ​​people around them instantly boiled over, and the cheers were like a tsunami, resounding through the sky.

Countless pairs of eyes focused at the same time, and their fiery gazes were cast towards the slowly opening space door.

Under the focus of everyone's attention, the vibrations of the space gate became more and more violent, as if it was about to break.

Finally, one figure after another slowly walked out of the door, and each of their steps seemed steady and powerful.

When their feet finally touched the ground of the square, the cheers in the audience reached a climax, like rolling thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

In the stands, the cheers of the audience were like a landslide and tsunami, expressing the highest respect for the contestants who successfully passed through the space gate.

The alchemists who can reach here are undoubtedly the elite among the elites in the entire continent.

Even if they choose to give up the competition at this moment, there will surely be countless forces vying to invite them and treat them as guests of honor.

As more and more people filed out of the space gate, the cheers grew louder and louder like boiling water.

The huge square seemed to tremble slightly under the impact of the sound waves, and every stone slab seemed to resonate, witnessing the splendor and glory of this moment.

As the contestants showed up one after another, Danchen and Cao Ying did not delay any longer. Xuankongzi raised his hand lightly and opened up a space channel beside them. Seeing this, Danchen and Cao Ying stepped into it without hesitation.

The next moment, they suddenly appeared in the space channel in the center of the square, as if two meteors streaking through the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Their appearance like this made them look just like the previous contestants, which made it easy for people to have the illusion that they had just stepped out of the Dan Realm.

Witnessing the departure of Dan Chen and Cao Ying, Xiao Ling gently clenched the soft, boneless little hand in his palm. The delicate touch seemed to convey a silent support.

He turned around and gave Xun'er beside him a warm smile, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said softly: "Xun'er, I'll go first. Next, let's see how I show my skills on this alchemy meeting stage."

Xun'er quietly gazed at Xiao Ling's high-spirited appearance, and a sincere smile bloomed from the bottom of her heart on her elegant and refined face.

"Brother Xiao Ling, go ahead. Xun'er will be cheering for you in the audience." Her voice was soft and firm, full of great confidence in Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his palm gently brushed across Xun'er's cheek, and then left a kiss as light as a feather on Xun'er's forehead.

Then, he slowly let go of Xun'er's hand, turned around and took a step forward. His foot lightly tapped the air, and his figure seemed to blend into the air, gradually fading away until he completely disappeared from the spot.

In a flash, Xiao Ling's figure silently drew a subtle ripple in the void, and then appeared beside Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

"Cao Ying, Sister Danchen, I haven't seen you for a few days. You both seem to be in very good condition." Xiao Ling smiled softly and glanced at the two women as he said casually.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Ling, for your further improvement. Dan Chen would like to congratulate you here."

Dan Chen lowered her head slightly and nodded shyly. Her soft voice came out from her small cherry lips, which made people want to protect her and step forward to gently caress this shy girl.

"Although your cultivation has made a breakthrough, which is worth celebrating, I will not show mercy in the next competition."
