Despite the excruciating pain from the shock in his internal organs, Li Zhaoning struggled to his feet from Su Mu's embrace and once again stood firmly in front of him, his breathing somewhat unsteady.
His eyes, however, were sharp as knives: "Mu'er, don't be afraid! As long as I have a breath left, I will never let her hurt you in the slightest!"
"Your Highness..." Su Mu gazed at the slender yet incredibly resolute figure before her. The mask on her face had shattered completely in the impact.
She revealed her stunningly beautiful face, which at this moment was filled with resolute determination.
Those usually composed phoenix eyes now burned with a desperate, all-or-nothing flame. At this moment, she was no longer the high and mighty Prince Ning, but simply...
The woman who tried her best to protect him.
In a daze, Su Mu seemed to return to the moment when the two first met. It was this land that rescued him and Xiaoxiao from the despair of their destroyed village, giving them...
She gave them a new home and warmth. Now, once again, she selflessly stood in front of danger.
"Mu'er, I'm sorry, I've been keeping so many things from you." Li Zhaoning said, while fending off the mysterious cultivator's toying attacks.
When he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"You heard her say it too. I am actually a woman."
She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength, and continued, "And you... are the only man I've ever been close to in my life. I should have..."
I treated you like my own child, but from the very first moment I saw you, it seems I harbored feelings I shouldn't have had.
"It wasn't just your heroic act of protecting Xiaoxiao that moved me and inspired me to inherit the Nine Yang Spear technique; it was also because I saw you as a man."
Look at it this way. I... I like you!
At this critical moment between life and death, Li Zhaoning finally poured out all the emotions buried deep in her heart. After speaking, a kind of...
A sense of relief and calm.
"Heh, how shameless, huh? You're a father, yet you harbor such filthy thoughts about your own child," she shook her head.
He shook his head, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
"To remind myself, I even personally arranged a marriage for you, just to tell myself that I must break off this relationship that shouldn't exist."
The thought...
"But now... perhaps we're nearing the end, and I don't want to die carrying this secret. Mu'er... can you forgive Aunt Ning for this overstepping of her bounds?"
Heart?
She swung her spear with all her might, parrying a probing attack casually launched by the mysterious cultivator; her back view appeared somewhat lonely.

"Your Highness," Su Mu struggled to sit up and walked to Li Zhaoning's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, his voice gentle yet firm, "You don't need to say..."
I'm sorry. I actually already knew a lot of things a long time ago.
"From the day I stepped into the Prince's mansion, I knew the secret that you were a woman. But I never revealed it to you."
Li Zhaoning was slightly taken aback, then smiled with relief, her eyes glistening with tears: "Is that so... So Mu'er knew all along? What a wicked person."
"My dear child, you made me suffer alone for so long, but I forgive you."
Su Mu shook her head, a complex yet gentle smile on her face: "Please don't rush to forgive me. There's something else, Mu'er feels..."
I'm even more sorry to you.
As he spoke, he slowly approached Li Zhaoning and whispered very softly in her ear, "Your Highness, please forgive me."
Before he could finish speaking, to Li Zhaoning's astonishment, Su Mu leaned down and gently kissed her lips.
Li Zhaoning's pupils suddenly dilated, and her whole body stiffened.
She could clearly feel the warmth and softness of Su Mu's lips, which pressed firmly against hers with an irresistible tenderness.
What followed, and even more shockingly, was that Su Mujing carefully pried open her teeth, his tongue probing and tenderly touching hers.
Their tongues intertwined gently.
"Mu... Mu'er, you..." Li Zhaoning's mind went blank, her heart rippled like a spring lake tossed with a boulder.
Shyness, panic, disbelief, and an indescribable surge of joy intertwined, almost overwhelming her. Mu'er… he actually…
Indeed
With this passionate kiss, a surge of pure, powerful, and masculine energy, like a warm torrent, flowed down their intertwined lips and tongues.
It flowed continuously into her body!
This is not simply yang energy, but the purest original yang energy that Su Mu skillfully transformed using the "Mysterious Female Harmony and Heaven-Mending Technique"!
"Om---!"
The silver spear in Li Zhaoning's hand suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling light! The flames on the spear shaft turned from crimson to blazing white, and the temperature soared dramatically.
It was as if a miniature sun was born in her hands!
Her aura surged dramatically; the yang energy that had been somewhat lacking due to her intense practice of pure yang techniques was now completely replenished! (After reaching the Golden Core stage)
Under the impact of this vast yang energy, the cultivation barrier of the previous stage showed signs of loosening!
"No! Impossible! How dare this kid transfer yang energy in this way?! What kind of evil technique is this?!" The mysterious cultivator finally exclaimed.
Sensing something was wrong, she screamed in terror.
She frantically urged the wooden spikes to attack the two, but before the eerie wooden spikes could even get close, they were met with the overwhelming yang energy emanating from Li Zhaoning.
The flames burned it into ashes and smoke!
For a long time, the lips are divided.
The two were slightly out of breath, with a strand of ambiguous saliva still lingering at the corner of their lips.
Li Zhaoning's cheeks flushed crimson, her beauty like that of peach blossoms. She glared at Su Mu, trying her best to maintain her usual dignified tone, but her eyes were filled with helplessness.
Concealed joy and tenderness: "...Mu'er, you are truly audacious! I will settle this score with you properly later!"
Su Mu couldn't help but smile at her coquettish and insincere expression.
Li Zhaoning took a deep breath, turned to face the bewildered and uncertain mysterious cultivator, her silver spear wreathed in blazing white flames pointing directly at him, her phoenix eyes...
A cold light appeared in his eyes, and his voice was icy.
"Now, it's time to burn this eyesore of a piece of rotten wood to ashes!"

Chapter Thirty-Four: Watching the Shower
Outside the domain, Su Zhixiao watched helplessly as the gray-green light curtain completely swallowed up the figures of Su Mu and Li Zhaoning, isolating them from all sound.
interest.
"No... Brother! Your Highness!" she cried out in anguish, her longsword flashing with blinding light as she recklessly slashed at the unyielding figure.
Destroy the barriers of the domain!
The powerful recoil caused her hand to split open, and blood instantly stained the hilt of her sword.
But she seemed to feel no pain. Her inner energy circulated wildly, and her sword strikes poured down on the light screen like a storm!
"Xiaoxiao! Stop!" Hu Chanyuan rushed forward, trying to pull her back. "This domain is extremely strange; forcibly attacking it will only backfire!"
Li Qinghan anxiously urged, "Sister Xiaoxiao, calm down! Brother Mu and Father will be alright!"
However, Su Zhixiao couldn't hear anything at that moment. Her inner demons, fueled by fear, were growing wildly and had already taken over her entire being.
"Get out of the way! I need to save my brother!!" Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were unfocused.
Her swordsmanship had lost its former agility and grace, reduced to nothing but wild, frenzied slashing. The array's suppression of her power was already in place, and now, forcibly channeling her energy...
Even worse.
Her face quickly turned pale, and her breathing became erratic. Hu Chanyuan and Li Qinghan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.
Just as Su Zhixiao was about to collapse, the originally dark and silent domain light screen suddenly emitted a blazing light from within!
"This is...?" Hu Chanyuan's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
Su Zhixiao also stopped her futile attack, staring blankly at the increasingly bright light screen, her heart pounding wildly.
boom--!!!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth! The entire domain shattered like a fragile eggshell!
A violent shockwave, mixed with scorching yang energy, swept outwards, causing peach blossoms to dance wildly and sand and stones to fly!
As the light faded, two figures stood motionless at the center of the explosion.
Li Zhaoning held a silver spear, the shaft of which was burning with unprecedented blazing white flames, like a war god from the heavens, majestic and inviolable.
Beside her, Su Mu appeared slightly weak, but his eyes were bright, and he gripped the silver spear alongside her. The tip of the spear pierced through the divine...
The chest of a mystic.
At this moment, the cultivator's body was rapidly carbonizing and disintegrating in the blazing white flames. He didn't even have time to scream before turning into ashes and dissipating into the sky.
Between the earth!
"Brother! Right below!" Su Zhixiao cried with joy, all her strength seemingly drained away. She staggered towards the scorched earth.
She rushed to Su Mu's side, grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, and tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads.
"Brother! You scared me to death! Why did you push me out! Why wouldn't you let me come with you!"
Tears streamed down her face, her delicate body trembling slightly from lingering fear and excitement. The strong facade she had painstakingly maintained crumbled completely, leaving only...
Complete dependence and vulnerability.
Although Su Mu was somewhat weak, his eyes were gentle. He gently stroked Su Zhixiao's hair, his voice carrying a calming power.
"Silly girl, I'm fine, aren't I? How could I let you risk your life in that situation?"
Under his gentle reassurance, Su Zhixiao's agitated emotions gradually calmed down, but she still couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Yes, brother, you have to promise Xiaoxiao that no matter what, you will never abandon her!"
“Alright, alright, I can tell at a glance that Xiaoxiao is jealous because I was alone with His Highness just now.” Su Mu said with a hint of teasing.
Su Zhixiao's cheeks flushed instantly, and she stammered, "Is Xiaoxiao really that unreasonable...?"
Compared to the pain of losing her brother, the bitterness of sharing him with other women has become insignificant.
After a slight hesitation, she said firmly, "From now on, Xiaoxiao won't just think about having my brother all to herself. As long as my brother is safe and happy, Xiaoxiao will..."
Then I was content.
Su Mu's eyes flickered slightly; he clearly sensed the change in Xiao Xiao's mindset—the inner demon had dissipated.
Now, although Xiaoxiao still gets jealous because of love, she chooses to be more tolerant because of love.
He hugged Xiaoxiao tightly, feeling both relieved and heartbroken, and Xiaoxiao was also immersed in his gentle embrace.
The prolonged tension and fear, coupled with the suppression of the formation and the excessive consumption of her true energy, had already pushed her mental and physical strength to their limits.
