The shuttle in the second dimension

　As the last word fell, Hina swung the Murakumo sword in her hand. The next moment, a terrifying wind and wave with a breath of destruction attacked Lin Xuan. In the blink of an eye, it had reached Lin Xuan's eyes. When it was about to hit Lin Xuan, a bluish-white curse power was suddenly released from Lin Xuan's body, forming a barrier, blocking Lin Xuan in front of him.

　Immediately afterwards, the terrifying wind and waves collided with the bluish-white barrier. However, the expected violent collision did not occur, but instead remained calm.

　The terrifying wind and waves vanished instantly upon contact with the bluish-white barrier. Yes, they vanished instantly. Or rather, the violent wind and waves were rewound to a time before they had even formed. And just like that, the terrifying blow was obliterated by the bluish-white barrier.

　The bluish-white power was none other than the eleventh familiar in Lin Xuan's body, the familiar corresponding to Aquarius - [Water Spirit White Steel], the familiar that had the ability to reverse time.

　However, Lin Xuan didn't really like using his beast. Even when he was seriously injured, he didn't use it to reverse his own time. This was because the beast wasn't very suitable for delicate work and could easily turn its head around. Therefore, he generally didn't use it much.

　Getting back to the topic, after erasing the storm caused by the release of the true name by the Ama Murakumo sword, Lin Xuan looked at Ena with satisfaction and smiled.

　"Congratulations, you've passed the test, Seiakiin Ena."

Chapter 55: Status

　I've been having a serious writer's block lately, and I'm thinking about the next volume, so the update schedule is a bit chaotic, sorry.

　-

　Inside Nanchio Shrine

　After Ena passed the test, Lin Xuan explained briefly to them and took Luo Hao to a room in the shrine.

　After removing the treasure that had been used to prevent Luo Hao from waking up, Lin Xuan sat quietly by the side, waiting for Luo Hao to wake up. Of course, before that, Lin Xuan used a special method to seal the cursed energy in Luo Hao's body, preventing her from suddenly using the "Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar" method to blow the entire shrine directly into the sky, or using the "Hundred Grasses and Thousands of Flowers in Full Bloom" method to make the place full of dangerous creatures such as carnivorous plants and poisonous plants, turning it into a living hell.

　After the treasure that prevented her from waking was removed, Luo Hao showed signs of waking up soon after. With a moan, Luo Hao's eyelids seemed to tremble, as if they were about to open.

　The next moment, Luo Hao suddenly opened her eyes, and her dark pupils moved around in her eye sockets, as if taking in the surrounding environment. However, when she saw Lin Xuan, her gaze stayed on Lin Xuan. Looking at Lin Xuan, a complex look flashed across the depths of Luo Hao's eyes.

　Luo Hao sat up and crossed his legs, his eyes like black gemstones looking at Lin Xuan calmly.

　Facing Luo Hao's calm gaze, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Why, don't you want to say something about the current situation?"

　"There is no need to provoke me with words, King Lin Xuan. For thousands of years, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." Luo Hao said calmly with his red lips slightly opened.

　"Since I've been defeated by you, then any treatment you give me is only natural, just like when you obeyed my order to leave the Celestial Empire after your defeat. Since this is as it should be, what else can I say?"

　After hearing Luo Hao's words, Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly and chuckled softly, "This really suits your style, Luo Hao."

　"If it were me, the moment you defeated me and forced me to leave the Celestial Empire, I would have humiliated you after defeating you and capturing you. At that time, I had only one thought in mind: to defeat you and repay the humiliation I had suffered double. However, after going through some things, I no longer have those same thoughts, especially after defeating you. Those thoughts have completely vanished from my mind."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan stood up and walked towards Luo Hao.

　"I was originally worried that after being captured, you would be too emotional and use your power to destroy this place, so I completely sealed the cursed power in your body. Now it seems that I was overthinking it." Lin Xuan said, shaking his head.

　At the same time, Lin Xuan walked to Luo Hao and squatted down, looking into Luo Hao's blue eyes. Suddenly, he said.

　"But..." Having said that, Lin Xuan paused for a moment, then continued.

　"—Although I no longer have the urge to humiliate you, as a defeated opponent, I must pay a price. This is the price for your defeat this time."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan put his right hand on the back of Luo Hao's head. With Luo Hao's surprised expression, Lin Xuan's lips were directly imprinted on Luo Hao's red lips, and he pried open her teeth domineeringly. This seemingly affectionate French wet kiss lasted for a full minute.

　Unlike Lin Xuan who had some experience, Luo Hao had almost no experience in this area. In addition, his cursed power was sealed by Lin Xuan, so he could not resist at all and could only be led by Lin Xuan.

　When Lin Xuan kissed Luo Hao, a stream of mana flowed into his body through the seemingly affectionate mage's wet kiss. At the same time, the special spell that had sealed Luo Hao's mana began to loosen, and a trace of mana reappeared in Luo Hao's body. When this French kiss ended, the mana seal in Luo Hao's body was completely released.

　His lips parted, a silver line of water was drawn out, and he looked at Luo Hao, whose eyes were still wide open and his face was full of surprise, with a playful look. The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he licked his lips as if savoring something and said.

　"We have finished talking about the price. The matter of me being driven out of the Celestial Empire by you is now over. Now, there is something I need your help with--" Before Lin Xuan could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Luo Hao.

　Her beautiful eyes widened in anger as she shouted in a delicate voice, "Lord Lin Xuan, this is what you meant by not humiliating me! You flirted with me, violated my chastity, and yet you don't even want to give me a legitimate status?! If you wanted to humiliate me like this, why did you say such righteous words before... You're going against your own words, Lord Lin Xuan, you're so disappointing!!"

　The sudden outburst of anger left Lin Xuan stunned for a moment. He blinked blankly, seemingly unable to understand what Luo Hao was saying. He shook his head, looking at Luo Hao in bewilderment. However, seeing the cursed energy within Luo Hao begin to boil, seemingly about to go berserk, Lin Xuan hurriedly shouted.

　"Wait wait wait!! I don't understand what you said!!"

　"King Lin Xuan, are you teasing me?!" Seeing that Luo Hao was about to explode, Lin Xuan felt regretful. Why did he release the seal of the curse power in her body so early?

　"Stop, stop, stop! Let me clear my mind first. My mind is a bit confused."

　"What you said means that you want me to give you a legitimate status!?" Lin Xuan felt that he and Luo Hao were not on the same channel.

　"You have been disrespectful to me and destroyed my chastity. Is it too much for me to ask you to give me a legitimate status, King Lin Xuan?" Luo Hao said coldly with her beautiful eyes wide open.

　After hearing Luo Hao's words, Lin Xuan scratched his head and said with a strange expression, "Are you sure you want me to give you a legitimate title?" Luo Hao had already said this, and even the most clueless Lin Xuan knew what was going on. Unlike the other Godslayers, as one of the oldest surviving Godslayer 3.0, she could be said to have been sedentary for years, her mindset still stuck in the days when she first became a Godslayer. Her worldview was different from Lin Xuan's.

　A kiss, in this day and age, might be considered frivolous, but it definitely wouldn't be considered a traitor's chastity. However, this wasn't necessarily the case in the era before Luo Hao became a God Slayer. Therefore, Lin Xuan's kiss caused Luo Hao to react so violently.

　However, since Luo Hao had asked for it, Lin Xuan couldn't possibly refuse. He was a normal man, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by a beauty like Luo Hao, who had such stunning beauty. He wasn't the one who would suffer anyway, was he?

　Thinking of this, Lin Xuan spoke to Luo Hao.

　"Since you want a status, I'll give it to you, Luo Hao."

Chapter 56

　"Since you want a name, then I'll give it to you, Luo Hao. Magazine Bug"

　Looking at Luo Hao, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.

　"But..." At this point, Lin Xuan reached out and lifted Luo Hao's chin, saying playfully, "But I'm not someone who sticks to those feudal rules. Before officially marrying you, I performed the Zhougong ceremony in advance. Don't blame me for not reminding you, Luo Hao, no, now you should be called my wife."

　After agreeing to give Luo Hao a legitimate status, Lin Xuan became more and more unscrupulous towards Luo Hao, and was no longer afraid that she would suddenly become angry and use her power to blow the place up.

　"You..." Lin Xuan's sudden change made Luo Hao unable to adapt for a while, and the sudden change of identity also made Luo Hao's fair cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.

　Looking at Luo Hao, whose face was slightly flushed and looked surprised, he raised his eyebrows slightly and teased, "Why, you don't dare, or do you regret it now? Luo Hao~~~"

　"You—" With his beautiful eyes wide open, Luo Hao shouted in shame and anger, "It's just breaking an old rule. Why should I, Luo Hao, be afraid of regrets? You underestimate me too much, King Lin Xuan!!"

　Facing Luo Hao's embarrassed and angry shout, Lin Xuan simply raised the corner of his mouth, outlining a hint of playfulness, and said, "Is that so? I hope that when the time comes to perform the Zhougong ceremony, you can still be as courageous as this, my wife."

　As he spoke, Lin Xuan stood up and turned to leave the room, but when he reached the door, he paused, turned his head slightly, and spoke to Luo Hao.

　"Put your emotions in order. I have something to discuss with you later~~~~Madam." After saying that, Lin Xuan walked out of the room, leaving Luo Hao sitting alone in the room.

　-

　in the corridor

　As soon as he left the room, Lin Xuan grinned in frustration. Of course, this wasn't because he had to give Luo Hao a legitimate status. After all, he hadn't suffered any loss from this matter from beginning to end, and could even be said to have gained something, so he wasn't so pretentious as to be that serious. However, what frustrated him was the unexpected turn of events.

　It's impossible to say he had no feelings for Luo Hao. Lin Xuan wasn't a gentleman; he also liked beautiful women. The first time he saw Luo Hao, her stunning appearance had left a deep impression on him. However, he wasn't someone who thought solely about his lower body; the moment he saw a beautiful woman, he had to get her. When facing Luo Hao, Lin Xuan was more concerned with defeating her.

　After defeating Luo Hao, Lin Xuan's thoughts about her were overwhelmed by the emptiness he felt after suddenly defeating his long-held goal. For a moment, he stopped thinking about Luo Hao. However, he hadn't expected that his simple desire for revenge through a kiss would cause Luo Hao to react so violently.

　As they were about to reach the room where Yuri and Ena were, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, things had come to this point and there was no point in thinking about it anymore.

　As soon as he entered the room, Lin Xuan saw Yuri, Ena and Hikaru sitting around the table.

　When seeing Lin Xuan enter the room, Ena stood up and saluted.

　"king."

　"sit down."

　"Yes."

　As soon as Lin Xuan sat down, Yuri couldn't wait to ask, "Lin Xuan, what's going on with that martial arts king?"

　He was not surprised by Yuri's impatient question. Although he had just explained the matter of Luo Hao briefly, he did not explain it clearly after all. Besides, Lin Xuan was brought back by Luo Hao in that condition, so it was nothing that Yuri asked so anxiously.

　With his right hand on his chin, Lin Xuan said helplessly, "Originally, I wanted her help to hone my combat skills. At the same time, I also wanted to learn from her insights as a martial arts master so that I could more quickly integrate my own diverse powers. So, after defeating her, I brought her here and sealed her curse power. I wanted to discuss this matter with her. But~~~ just now, a small accident happened."

　Sensing the strangeness in Lin Xuan's expression, Ena knew that the minor incident Lin Xuan had mentioned might have triggered something far more serious. Having just received Lin Xuan's approval, it wasn't appropriate for her to sit and listen. So, just as she was about to stand up and bid Lin Xuan farewell, a massive force suddenly pressed down on her, preventing her from getting hurt but also preventing her from rising. Lin Xuan's helpless words echoed in her ears.

　"You don't have to leave on purpose. It's not something you can't know."

　After getting Lin Xuan's permission, Ena sat down obediently and listened carefully to Lin Xuan's words.

　At this moment, Yuri, no matter how slow she was, noticed the strangeness in Lin Xuan's expression. She didn't know why, but she felt a vague sense of unhappiness in her heart. As for Wanli Gu Guang, he looked at Lin Xuan with curiosity, as if he was curious about what kind of accident Lin Xuan was talking about.

　Glancing at the different expressions of the three people, Lin Xuan curled his lips helplessly and continued.

　"In fact, that little accident not only did not affect my request for Luo Hao's help, but it also indirectly facilitated this matter. I just wanted to give Luo Hao a name."

　"Status~~~" When they heard Lin Xuan's words, Yuri and the other two nodded as if they understood, and repeated it in a whisper. However, not long after, the three of them felt something strange.

　Fame! ! ? ?

　What kind of status could Lin Xuan give Luo Hao? Or, as the King of Martial Arts, what kind of status did Luo Hao need Lin Xuan to give him?

　The three of them knew how Lin Xuan got here. Now, even Wanli Guguang, the youngest of the three, understood what kind of status Lin Xuan was going to give Lin Xuan.

　"King, you wouldn't be with that martial arts king..." At this time, Ena was also stunned by the thoughts that emerged in her mind.

　"Well, the status I'm talking about is the one you're thinking of." Lin Xuan certainly noticed the expressions of Yuri and the other two, but he didn't care now. They would know it sooner or later anyway.

　"So, Luo Hao can be considered my wife now~~~" Lin Xuan said with a pout.

　When Lin Xuan actually said the so-called status, Hui Na felt that she really couldn't think at all. There was no way, as things were too shocking at this time.

　"It's hard to believe. That martial arts king actually..."

Chapter 57

　When Lin Xuan returned to Luo Hao's room, he was already lost in meditation.

　The white Hanfu, resembling a fairy's feathered robe, enveloped her curvaceous figure. Her fair skin made her look like a work of art carved from white jade, a breathtaking sight. A faint blush still graced her stunning features, adding an endearing, delicate charm that was irresistible.

　Although Lin Xuan didn't want to break this beautiful moment, when Lin Xuan approached Luo Hao, Luo Hao slowly opened his beautiful eyes as deep as the stars and looked at Lin Xuan.

　"You're here, Lin...husband." As if he was not used to this sudden change of identity, Luo Hao almost called out Lin Xuan's name directly. Although this was not a big deal, as a person with relatively old-fashioned thinking, how could Luo Hao allow himself to make such a mistake.

　Lin Xuan was very happy to hear Luo Hao13 call him "husband", but no matter how happy he was, there were still some things he had to do, such as the original purpose of bringing Luo Hao here.

　Sitting cross-legged in front of Luo Hao, Lin Xuan looked at Luo Hao seriously. Before Lin Xuan could speak, Luo Hao spoke first.

　"My husband, is the purpose of your coming here to discuss the matter you mentioned to me earlier?"

　"Well, there are indeed some things I want to discuss with you." Looking at Luo Hao, Lin Xuan said with a serious expression.

　"You should have sensed it during the previous battle. My combat skills are still a shortcoming. Although I've made a big step forward compared to when I first became a God Slayer, it still can't change my weakness in combat skills."

　"Even though I gained a lot of combat skills and the ability to master various weapons through the power I seized from Chi You, I still know too little in this area and my foundation is too weak. As a result, I have not yet fully transformed those exquisite combat skills into my own." Lin Xuan continued with a sigh.

　Just as Lin Xuan had said, he still hadn't yet transformed the combat techniques bestowed upon him by the Unyielding Lord of Arms into his own. Indeed, up to this point, whether it was his battles with the Sword King, the Marquis, or the God of Disobedience, or his battles in the Holy Grail War, or his battles in the Bloodthirsty Assault world, or even his battles after returning to the Godslayer world, most of the exquisite combat techniques Lin Xuan had displayed weren't his, or weren't yet.

　After activating [Unyielding Lord of Arms], Lin Xuan would unknowingly "understand" numerous combat techniques, transforming him from a novice without any skills to a master of numerous combat techniques. However, if he could no longer activate this power, most of his combat skills would disappear. Lin Xuan was now like guarding a treasure house with a small gap, but without the key to open it, he could only slowly extract the treasures from the small gap and claim them for himself. While it was possible that if he persisted in this way, Lin Xuan would eventually master all the combat techniques, it would be too slow.
