Her eyes wandered around the room, searching for the familiar figure, but she only saw an empty room and no one in sight.

Chu Wanqing suddenly pulled back the warm quilt, and the scene before her made her face change suddenly.

"It's cold and hurts." She murmured softly, feeling the coolness and dull pain on her skin.

She tried to sit up, but her body seemed to be pressed down by a heavy object and she couldn't move.

On her snow-white and tender skin, there were countless vivid kiss marks, which bloomed like red plum blossoms, dazzling and heartbreaking.

These traces silently told of last night's passion and indulgence, causing complex emotions to surge in Chu Wanqing's heart.

Chu Wanqing clenched her delicate fists and gritted her teeth secretly, a feeling of anger suddenly surged in her heart.

However, Chu Wanqing quickly recalled some of the scenes of last night, and she vaguely remembered that it seemed that she was the one who took the initiative first.

At least at the beginning, she was the one who set the pace, and it seemed that after both of them became somewhat involved, the initiative seemed to quietly shift to Xiao Ling's hands.

In other words, last night's joy did not end as the night deepened, but lasted the entire night.

"This……"

As her consciousness gradually recovered, Chu Wanqing's memory began to piece together bit by bit, and the scenes of last night gradually became clear in her mind. Thinking of this, she really couldn't blame Xiao Ling.

After all, Xiao Ling's current cultivation level was only at the Dou Zun level. When Chu Wanqing was still a semi-saint, he was already unable to resist her power. Now, with Chu Wanqing's promotion to the Dou Sheng realm, his inability to resist was even more obvious.

Furthermore, the intoxication of alcohol cannot be ignored, it affected Xiao Ling's judgment and reaction to a certain extent. Under Chu Wanqing's sudden attack, the effect of alcohol made Xiao Ling completely lose the ability to resist in the initial confrontation.

A trace of shyness and surprise surged in Chu Wanqing's heart, and she couldn't help but wonder if this time, she would forcefully deal with Xiao Ling like she did last time.

Her mind replayed every detail of last night, and those passionate and lingering scenes made her cheeks hot.

She bit her lower lip gently, feeling both a sweet aftertaste and uncertainty and worry about the future.

After all, such indulgence was an unprecedented experience for her, except for the unexpected encounter with Xiao Ling in Yin Valley before.

"hiss……"

After a moment of silence, a slight inhalation sound suddenly came from the simple hut, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

The pain felt like an electric current running through her blood vessels, quickly spreading to her limbs and bones. At that moment, Chu Wanqing felt as if she was gradually losing control of her body.

Chu Wanqing covered her lower abdomen with her hands and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning forward slightly. She closed her eyes, concentrated, and breathed slowly, trying to ease the slight pain that she had not felt before.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. She sat like this for a long time, until she was fully conscious and the tingling feeling gradually faded away.

Looking around, everything in the room seemed a bit messy, and traces of last night's fierce confrontation were still vivid.

Chu Wanqing's gaze lingered on these traces, and her heart couldn't help but recall the contest with Xiao Ling last night. Every detail was replayed in her mind.

Crazy! Must be crazy!

There is no way I am such a person!

Chu Wanqing rubbed her hair vigorously, which had become a little messy due to rolling around last night. Her movement brought about a tearing pain, which made her frown, and an inexplicable sense of shame and helplessness surged in her heart.

Xiao Ling is really a beast!

Chu Wanqing sat quietly on the edge of the bed for nearly ten minutes before her thoughts gradually emerged from the chaos of last night.

Her gaze slowly moved down, finally landing on the bedside, where pieces of clothing were scattered all over the floor like fallen flowers swept by a storm, silently telling of the intensity of last night.

With a helpless sigh, she reached out to the ring on her finger and took out a new set of clothes.

Then, she began to put on her clothes one by one, her movements seemed a little slow and unfamiliar, trying to completely cover up the traces of last night.

When Chu Wanqing finally stood up from the bed with some difficulty, an inexplicable resentment surged in her heart.

Xiao Ling's behavior last night was really too much, and this morning, he just walked away without any reluctance. It was really heartbreaking. This guy is so heartless.

However, her eyes suddenly fixed on the table, where a letter was lying. Chu Wanqing reached out and gently touched it, and the letter fell lightly into her hand.

After reading the words in the letter, the anger on Chu Wanqing's face had mostly disappeared.

However, she still whispered to herself with a hint of complaint: "Humph, he said he had an appointment with Xuan Kongzi and didn't want to disturb my sweet dreams, so he left without saying goodbye. This slick guy thought he could get away with it so easily like this, it's really annoying."

Then, Chu Wanqing turned her gaze to the wooden table again. There, an exquisite jade box was quietly placed.

She reached out and picked up the box, gently opened the lid, and saw an exquisitely crafted jade hairpin lying inside, quietly emitting a warm luster.

"Since this is the jade hairpin you made yourself, I will accept it for now. But remember, next time I will settle today's account with you." The corners of Chu Wanqing's lips rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

She gently picked up the jade hairpin, her movements gentle and graceful. Chu Wanqing turned slightly to face the mirror and slowly inserted the jade hairpin into her hair.

The hairpin complements her jet-black hair, the luster of the jade and the softness of her hair complement each other, further highlighting the exquisiteness of the hairpin and her gentleness and beauty.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped for this beautiful picture.

Chu Wanqing carefully examined her figure in front of the mirror and nodded slightly with satisfaction. Then, she looked around the room again.

Then, she waved her hand lightly, and a strong fighting spirit gushed out. All the furnishings and facilities in the room were instantly destroyed and turned into a pile of dust.

"I don't know when I can meet you again. I hope that by then, I can really be convinced by you as you said." Chu Wanqing smiled gently, with a hint of expectation in her words.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure shook slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the room, as if he had never been there.

Chu Wanqing's trip to Shengdan City finally came to an end in an unexpected yet satisfying way...

Chapter 478 Joining Xiaodan Tower

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattice and poured into the slightly messy room.

Xiao Ling glanced at Chu Wanqing beside him. She was still immersed in a sweet dream, breathing evenly, and there seemed to be no sign of waking up soon. Seeing this, Xiao Ling did not intend to disturb the tranquility.

Yesterday's memories emerged in his mind, and Xiao Ling remembered the agreement with Xuan Kongzi. He sighed softly and gave up the idea of ​​waiting for Chu Wanqing to wake up.

Thinking of the embarrassing situation he was about to face, Xiao Ling couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to stay in this awkward atmosphere any longer, so he stood up quietly and prepared to leave.

After leaving a letter to express his gratitude, Xiao Ling also placed a jade hairpin that he had carefully made in his spare time using the Heavenly Weapon Technique he had learned from the little mink in a conspicuous place. This was a token of his gratitude and also a way to show his attitude.

After doing all this, Xiao Ling once again turned his gaze to Chu Wanqing who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. That glance seemed to contain a lot of reluctance and helplessness.

Then he turned around resolutely and walked out of this room full of memories with firm steps.

He walked through the winding and narrow alleys, bypassed the bustling market, and walked quickly towards the majestic towering tower in the heart of Saint Dan City.

Along the way, Xiao Ling met many alchemists from Danta. When they saw Xiao Ling, they all stepped aside and consciously made way for him. Their eyes revealed respect and admiration that was difficult to conceal.

In the previous alchemy meeting, Xiao Ling's performance was like divine help, which was still fresh in everyone's memory. Although many people here were much older than Xiao Ling, in the world of alchemy, strength was the most noble criterion.

Xiao Ling's alchemy skills were no less than those of the three giants of Danta. Such achievements naturally earned him the respect of these alchemists. Although they were older, they were like juniors in front of Xiao Ling, humbly lowering their heads and watching the young alchemy genius hurriedly pass by and head for the towering tower that symbolized glory and power.

Xiao Ling was already accustomed to the various admiring looks from all around him. Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, such gazes had been following him like a shadow, and with every progress he made, these gazes became more and more frequent.

In the past, Xiao Ling might have responded politely, but now he seemed indifferent to it.

In such a large crowd, he was too lazy to even deal with them. After all, instead of wasting time on these meaningless greetings, it would be better to devote his energy to more important things.

Furthermore, if he really responded to them one by one, I'm afraid that in the end, Xiao Ling's face would be frozen with laughter.

Everything went smoothly, and within a few minutes, Xiao Ling arrived in front of a grand hall on the top floor of Dan Tower. He brushed his collar lightly to make sure his appearance was neat, then slowly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Hehe, please come in."

Just as Xiao Ling's fingertips touched the door panel and knocked lightly with a few faint sounds, Xuan Kongzi's unique indifferent laughter came from inside the door.

Hearing the invitation, Xiao Ling pushed the door gently. The door hinge creaked slightly and opened.

He quickly scanned the hall and saw three figures standing there quietly.

Two old men with white hair and beards, and a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life, these three people are naturally the three most famous giants in Danta.

"Haha, Xiao Ling, you are finally here." Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Ling who was walking into the hall with a gentle look, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You are here earlier than I expected. I thought you went through such a long and exhausting process at the alchemy meeting. You must have rested well last night to recover your vitality."

"Haha, President Xuankong is over-worrying." Xiao Ling responded with a smile, his tone was very calm, "After last night's rest, I feel full of energy, and the fatigue at that time is gone."

When mentioning last night, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and some scenes came to his mind again.

It is true that he had rested last night, but it was only a short period of one or two hours.

In order to challenge the Battle Saint across levels, he paid a considerable price and was able to barely suppress him.

Fortunately, his physique is different from that of ordinary people and his recovery ability is amazing. Otherwise, coupled with the continuous consumption of the alchemy, he would probably really need a long period of rest and recuperation.

"Look at Xiao Ling, he is only in his twenties now, at the age of youth and vigor. Unlike you, you have become an old man." Xuan Yi on the side couldn't help but joked with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Haha, Xuan Yi is right." Tian Lei Zi also joined in the teasing, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was reminiscing about the past, "Alas, time is merciless, and we old guys are really not as good as we used to be."

Under the casual banter of Xuanyi and Tianleizi, the originally slightly serious atmosphere seemed to be nourished by the spring breeze and rain, and instantly became relaxed and pleasant.

Everyone present couldn't help but smile. Even Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, a shy smile appearing on his face. The stiffness and awkwardness in the scene disappeared.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling exchanged greetings with Tian Lei Zi and Xuan Yi respectively. Although the etiquette between them was simple, it revealed a tacit understanding. Everyone did not continue to chat, but quickly got to the point.

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently, and the sound of his laughter was like ripples in a deep pool, spreading out slightly.

"Haha, Danta's reputation in the Douqi Continent is as great as the sun and the moon, and everyone knows it. However, there are still secrets within Danta that are unknown to the outside world. It is just the tip of the iceberg that has surfaced."

His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on Xiao Ling, and he slowly asked, "Xiao Ling, have you ever heard of Xiao Danta?"

Hearing Xuan Kongzi suddenly mention the Small Dan Tower, Xiao Ling's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and he felt a little surprised in his heart.

Despite this, his expression remained as calm as before, he nodded slightly, and responded with a smile,

"I have indeed heard about the Small Dan Tower in the Dan Tower. When I was in Xingyun Pavilion, Pavilion Master Feng Xian mentioned some scattered matters about the Small Dan Tower to me. However, those were only fragmentary information. I don't have a deep understanding of the internal situation of the Small Dan Tower."

"Haha, that old guy Feng Xian actually revealed this to you?" Xuan Kongzi shook his head slightly, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes. "But think about it, their friendship is extraordinary, and it's not surprising that Feng Xian knows something about Xiao Danta."

After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he did not continue to be mysterious, but explained directly to Xiao Ling.

"The so-called Danta is actually a general term for a huge force. It is divided into two parts. One is the well-known exterior of Danta that is seen by the outside world; the other is the secret core hidden deep inside Danta, the Little Danta. The Little Danta is the real soul of Danta. It is because of their existence that the Soul Palace dares not take any excessive actions against Danta..."

"To enter the Little Dan Tower, the conditions required are extremely harsh. In the Dan Tower, only those alchemists who have proven their extraordinary talents outside must have their soul power reach the level of the spiritual realm first. In addition, they must also have the alchemy skills to refine the eighth-grade elixir that can trigger the seven-color elixir thunder. Only when these two are combined can they be accepted by the Little Dan Tower and become one of them..."

"President Xuankong, what is your intention in introducing the Little Dan Pagoda in such detail?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of temptation in his voice.

"Are you hinting that you want me to become a member of this Little Danta? However, according to what you said before, I am not a formal member of Danta. According to the rules, I don't seem to be qualified to join Little Danta."

"Haha, according to common sense, it is true. To become a member of the Little Danta, one usually needs to have a certain status and reputation within the Danta, and must pass tests to prove their loyalty to the Danta. If you are not a member of the Danta, it is naturally difficult to meet these conditions." Xuan Kongzi chuckled softly, with a hint of approval in his tone.

"And you, Xiao Ling, are a unique existence. Your talent is so high that it is obvious at a glance, and it has even attracted the personal attention of the Great Elder of Xiaodan Tower. He personally praised your extraordinary talent and firmly believed that you have great potential to be promoted to the realm of a ninth-grade alchemist in the future. It is precisely because of this that Xiaodan Tower broke the convention and directly invited you to join."

"Over the years, the only one who can make us old guys look at you with such admiration is you, Xiao Ling." Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with admiration, and he chuckled and said, with a hint of approval in his tone that was hard to conceal.

"Haha, Xiao Ling is not only the champion of this Alchemy Conference, but also one of the candidates for the top three of our Danta. Such an identity is enough for him to be regarded as a member of Danta, so this invitation cannot be regarded as a violation of the norm." Tian Lei Zi also chuckled and echoed from the side.
