"Ah..." Li Lin's mouth opened wide enough to swallow a goose egg.

"But even if I'm willing, you are the young miss of the Yunyang Sect, and I'm not worthy of you. Your father will not agree." Li Lin sighed, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

"My father won't object to my matters. Since you have to take responsibility for me, I'll find a chance to talk to him." Yun Hongling smiled proudly.

"But..." Li Lin was startled, then quickly changed the subject, "Hongling, let's talk about this later. I need your help with something."

"What is it? Just tell me," Yun Hongling said.

"I need some medicinal materials for refining pills. Could you help me get some?" Li Lin chuckled, having no choice but to resort to his charm. Given Yun Hongling's status in the Yunyang Sect, getting some materials probably wouldn't be a problem.

"Medicinal materials? What do you need them for? You're not a spiritual practitioner," Yun Hongling asked, puzzled.

"I just need them. Please help me out. It's urgent," Li Lin pretended to be anxious, although he indeed was.

"You little lecher, you think I don't know what you're up to, tricking me into getting materials for you, huh!" Yun Hongling huffed, then said, "Tell me, what materials do you need? I'll get them for you tomorrow."

"Hehe." Li Lin chuckled, his face turning a bit red. This was the first time, aside from borrowing gold coins from Li Wushuang, that he had asked a woman for something. He then listed the needed materials to Yun Hongling.

"By the way, you little lecher, I heard you defeated Huang Hu and ranked thirty-sixth on the Dragon List. Not bad. But I heard from Dongmei that you also accepted Li Dajiang's challenge. That guy is not easy to deal with. I'm not even sure myself. Are you confident?" Yun Hongling dropped her playful demeanor and asked seriously, worry showing in her eyes.

"I'm not going now. I'll go back when I'm confident." Li Lin said lightly, touched by the worry in Yun Hongling's eyes.

Li Lin smiled bitterly. The capricious girl in front of him actually started to care about him. It seemed he had unintentionally touched her heart. At an age where emotions bloom late, he had initially wanted to teach her a lesson. Unexpectedly, it led to this effect. But he already had Wushuang, and now things were a bit troublesome.

"Then you should cultivate well. My father mentioned something to me last time." Yun Hongling pursed her lips and said softly.

"What is it?" Li Lin asked curiously.

With a blush, Yun Hongling said, "My father said that anyone who wants to marry me must at least rank in the top ten of the Dragon List. Work hard, and when you reach the top ten, I'll talk to my father."

Yun Hongling left, leaving Li Lin stunned in the courtyard. Was this a good or a bad thing? By all accounts, it should be good, but what about Wushuang?

"Wushuang... Right, I haven't seen that girl for half a month." Li Lin smiled slightly, missing her after not seeing her for half a month. This must be what love feels like.

"Snow Lion, let's go out." Moments later, Li Lin specifically changed into a clean blue robe, tidied himself up, and then rode the Winged Snow Lion to Li Wushuang's place.

"Boss, why are you dressed so neatly?" Little Dragon circled around Li Lin's shoulder, its eyes spinning.

"This, it's nothing." Li Lin smiled and pursed his lips.

"Humph, I know. I feel like you're just horny." Little Dragon chuckled, its eyes twinkling cleverly.

Li Lin's face darkened, then he said, "Can you give your boss some dignity? This is love, do you understand?"

Atop the pinnacle, under the night sky, a woman in a red dress danced with her sword, creating a beautiful silhouette on the peak. Truly a demonic beauty by the Xi River. Picking orchids for whom to send? Ivory teeth shine through a laugh, brows furrowed above green eyes. Her red face blooms like a lotus, her skin as smooth as cream. Graceful and unrestrained, her lightness cannot be contained. Once proud of her unmatched beauty, now relying on her city-toppling grace.

A sword shadow swept across, carving an airstream crack in mid-air, with a figure in a blue robe suddenly appearing in front of it.

"Chi!" The sword shadow suddenly retracted, and upon seeing the man in the blue robe, Li Wushuang's cheeks flushed slightly, saying, "Be careful, or you'll regret it if I can't control myself."

"Murdering your husband is a serious crime," Li Lin said lightly.

"What husband? I'm ignoring you." Li Wushuang retorted shyly, then sat down on a rock nearby.

Li Lin stood behind, watching this silhouette, her hair fluttering in the wind, her figure enchanting. Being with this woman in this strange world, he felt a sense of belonging. Otherwise, he might feel somewhat superfluous in this world.

"Come sit here." Li Wushuang looked back and said softly.

With a faint smile, Li Lin sat down beside her, gently embracing Li Wushuang.

"Lin'er, if my dad, my mom, and my third aunt find out about us now, will they oppose?" Li Wushuang asked softly, leaning against his broad chest, her eyes full of worry.

"I will go back and talk to Uncle. They won't oppose." Li Lin said lightly. Li Wushuang was just an adopted daughter of the Li family. How could they oppose? Even if they did, the current Li family was nothing in his eyes.

"Really? But I'm still worried. I'm your cousin, but now, it's all because of you, you little lecher." Li Wushuang said softly, her fists lightly pounding on Li Lin's chest.

"How am I lecherous? It's just love that has grown too deep to extricate myself." Li Lin chuckled, looking at the night sky, the vast expanse adorned with a few stars. At this moment, he felt very content. From now on, in this world of Lingwu, he had found his true place. In the future, he needed to become stronger to protect the woman in his arms.

"By the way, Lin'er, a few days ago, Binglan told me you accepted Li Dajiang's challenge. He's ranked twentieth on the Dragon List. Are you confident?" Li Wushuang expressed her concern.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not confident in." Li Lin said lightly.

"I believe in you. To think you hid in the Li family for seventeen years, even fooling me." Li Wushuang said softly. In her heart, she had always thought Li Lin had been enduring silently. The story of Li Lin's transmigration would probably be unbelievable if told.

Li Lin remained silent. The previous Li Lin had long died, but this secret would always be buried in his heart.

"Lin'er, there's something I've always wanted to ask you." Li Wushuang seemed to remember something, moving away from Li Lin's embrace to look at him.

"What is it?" Li Lin asked.

"Are you a spiritual practitioner? I saw you refining pills at the Li family, but you didn't notice me." Li Wushuang said softly. This was something she had wanted to ask for a long time. When she saw Li Lin refining pills, she was shocked for a long time and even helped guard the courtyard for a while.

Li Lin was stunned, realizing he had indeed been careless. Looking at Li Wushuang, he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes."

"You're a spiritual practitioner, and also a tri-elemental martial artist. Are you a dual cultivator of martial and spiritual arts?" Seeing Li Lin nod, Li Wushuang's beautiful face froze. Although she had suspected it, Li Lin's admission shocked her. Tri-elemental martial artists combined with spiritual practitioners, dual cultivation of martial and spiritual arts, she had only heard her master mention such people existed in legends. Ordinary people couldn't possibly achieve dual cultivation.

"Yes, it's not suitable to tell others yet. Keep it a secret." Li Lin smiled slightly.

"You really surprise me. After so many years, you've managed to keep it a secret. If my dad and third uncle knew, they would be so happy." Li Wushuang said excitedly.

Li Lin smiled again without speaking, but instead, he embraced the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him once more. Before Li Wushuang could react, her lips were sealed by two warm lips, leaving her momentarily at a loss as Li Lin's lips gently sucked on hers.

Without speaking, they began to respond to each other after a moment, a primitive instinct that required no learning or instruction.

Their eyes closed, their lips intertwined, capturing the most sensitive sensations, moving and satisfying each other's inner desires.

The night breeze gently brushed against them as they embraced tightly. Li Lin's hands moved familiarly, from her hair, down her soft waist, to her chest, such invasion causing Li Wushuang to tremble as if electrified, leaving her weak and unable to resist. Her hands also roamed his broad back, greedily enjoying the sensation.

Li Lin became heated again, a primal reaction stirring, the area below his abdomen burning hot, a certain part standing erect once more.

Under this sensation, Li Lin's movements became more bold and unrestrained, from the front of her chest, around her waist, finally reaching her slender legs and firm buttocks, all the way to the inner thighs. Under the soft touch, Li Lin felt he could no longer control himself.

"Ah..."

Just then, Li Wushuang screamed, suddenly breaking free from Li Lin's embrace, her face pale with shock, staring at the thing between Li Lin's legs that was erect through his clothes, asking, "What is that on your body, why is it so hot and hard?"
