Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 927 489: Realm Breakthrough Again! (Part 3)

Right then, an uncontrollable growl erupted from Chen Xuan's stomach, making him chuckle helplessly.

"Dinner time."

As darkness slowly enveloped the sky, Chen Xuan swiftly exited the study and headed straight to the main hall.

Lan Meng'Er, fully aware of how long the cultivation would take, had just finished preparing dinner.

"Husband!"

With a bright smile, Lan Meng'Er called out to him.

During this past month, she had slowly adjusted to daily life without Xiaoqi by her side.

She only occasionally whispered to Chen Xuan about plans to visit the Imperial City; otherwise, nothing had changed.

Her one new habit was cultivating to fill her idle hours.

"Wow, you've prepared so many dishes today?"

Grinning widely, Chen Xuan took his seat upon seeing more than a dozen dishes laid out.

"Qin Ke brought over heaps of fresh vegetables and demon beast meat today, so I cooked extra. Taste them, husband."

While saying this, she offered him a pair of chopsticks.

"Alright!"

Nodding cheerfully, Chen Xuan seized a piece of braised meat and slipped it between his lips.

A gentle chew later, it dissolved in his mouth, flooding his body with potent energy as it slid down his throat.

"Not bad!"

"Definitely from a demon beast at the third level of the Dao Realm!"

"Yes! Qin Ke said he hunted it down himself!"

Lan Meng'Er settled into her seat as well.

"Third level?... Looks like his strength surged a lot lately!"

Surprise filled Chen Xuan. This placed him not far from the third level of the Dao Realm too.

"That I don't know."

Lan Meng'Er scooped a bowl of soup and positioned it before him. "Made from that demon beast's bones. Incredibly fresh. I sampled some before, and it filled me with cozy warmth."

Truth be told, her power remained far too low, her talent sorely lacking.

Despite consuming the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Wood Liquid, Profound Realm still eluded her.

With the white porcelain spoon in hand, Chen Xuan took a sip.

"How is it?"

Lan Meng'Er asked at once.

"Not bad! Really good!"

"As long as you like it, husband. Those bones simmered the whole day! Such hard work!"

Her brows creased faintly as she spoke.

"So how should your husband repay you?"

Chen Xuan easily read her subtle intentions!

"When will you take me to the Imperial City, husband?"

Blushing slightly, Lan Meng'Er gazed at him in anticipation.

More than a month without Xiaoqi. Though the sharp pangs of missing him had faded, solitude always conjured his face and playful tricks.

"Let's wait a bit more. Xiaoqi's in seclusion now. A visit wouldn't let us meet him anyway."

He spoke nothing but the truth.

Otherwise, word from him would have arrived long ago.

"Ah... still more waiting!"

Lan Meng'Er puffed out her cheeks, glossing over Chen Xuan's mention of 'seclusion'.

Chen Xuan gently pinched her cheek. "Be good!"

"Oh!"

Obedience showed clearly on her face, yet joy did not.

Chen Xuan let out a light laugh, ceased teasing, and dug back into his food.

Lan Meng'Er's cooking had advanced leaps and bounds with time. At this pace, matching Ning Xin's skill wouldn't take long.

Every dish on the table vanished completely.

Chen Xuan devoured the bulk; Lan Meng'Er merely nibbled vegetables.

Night!

The following morning, Chen Xuan cradled Lan Meng'Er in his arms.

"If not for your help, husband, I'd only cultivate to pass the time."

Lan Meng'Er raised her head a bit, placing her smooth chin atop Chen Xuan's chest.

"That works too!"

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement. Her strength proved woefully inadequate, cultivation's challenges overwhelming. Stalled progress crushed her spirit.

Gradually, reluctance to cultivate had set in.

...

The day after that!

Within the study.

Through the Nine Elements Dao Skill, Chen Xuan painstakingly purified her Dao bones, meridians, and organs with spiritual power.

Countless black impurities surged out, forming a dense, pitch-black layer over her skin.

Little wonder her talent lagged so much; that filthy encrustation told the tale.

Chen Xuan tended to Lan Meng'Er with utmost care, sparing no area.

His present power notwithstanding, finishing took a full half-day.

"All done!"

Clapping his hands, Chen Xuan declared the task complete.

Lan Meng'Er's eyes fluttered open slowly at his words.

"Crack, crack..."

As her eyes parted, the black impurities cracked like a facial mask, tumbling onto her robes.

"Ah... so uncomfortable!"

Her entire form felt encased and sticky, pure misery.

"Look at yourself!"

With a flick of his hand, Chen Xuan summoned a mirror right before her.

"Ah—"

Screaming in shock, she bolted from the study... "Husband, I'm heading to bathe first."

Was that really her!

She resembled a shadowy wraith!

How frightening!

"Hahaha..."

Chen Xuan's booming laughter rang out across the study; women remain women no matter what.

No matter his tireless work, her biggest worry was still her looks.

...

Three days passed, and Lan Meng'Er at last advanced to the Profound Realm, highlighting the Nine Elements Dao Skill's amazing might.

That evening, to express her thanks to Chen Xuan, she held nothing back.

She fully complied with every demand from Chen Xuan.

And so... Chen Xuan voiced a somewhat lewd demand: a solo show!

Her seductive look had Chen Xuan gulping hard over and over.

Finally, they dove into another fierce round!

They kept going right up to near dawn until fatigue claimed them in sleep.

Sunrise!

Morning light poured into the chamber, striking Chen Xuan's face, yet he slept on deeply.

"Boom!"

All at once, a mighty aura surged forth, piercing toward the heavens.

Right away, countless threads of spiritual power converged in the skies over the estate.

Chen Xuan, sunk in deep slumber, suddenly flung his eyes open.

"Broke through!"

Not pausing to get dressed, he vanished from the room.

Seconds later, in just his white undershirt, Chen Xuan showed up outside the seclusion chamber of Ning Xin and Luan Ying!
