Chapter 469: Chapter 453: Early Morning Procurement

"Ah—!"

As the menacing creature covered in dragon scales forcefully invaded, Zhu Yan suddenly felt her body being torn apart piece by piece, causing her to throw her head back in a cry of pain, tears streaming down her face like a fountain.

"Ah Zhe, what’s happening to you..."

"Wake up!

Even at a time like this, her biggest concern was Sun Zhe’s safety, as she weakly shouted to wake Sun Zhe up.

Faced with Sun Zhe’s seemingly insane assault, she neither struggled nor resisted, choosing instead to accept what was coming.

Gradually, as a peculiar aura flowed into her body, the sensation of splitting pain began to dissipate, replaced by an indescribable tingling, as though her whole body was soaking in a hot spring.

Strangely enough, the wounds in the valley, created by dragon scales, were visibly healing under the nourishment of this peculiar aura!

"Mhm..."

An unprecedented sensation of beauty suddenly engulfed her body and mind, and Zhu Yan’s tear-filled eyes gradually became alluring. She tightly wrapped her arms around Sun Zhe’s neck and clamped her legs around his waist, transitioning from passive to active.

"Little Yan’er, this is Dragon Qi entering your body. Do not lose your mind, or you’ll become nothing but a puppet!"

Just as Zhu Yan was about to fully succumb, the voice of Little Dragon Girl’s Divine Sense sounded like thunder in her mind, like a jolt of awakening!

Zhu Yan suddenly snapped out of it, glanced around, then asked, "Sister Long, what’s wrong with Ah Zhe?"

"Sigh!"

Little Dragon Girl sighed self-reproachfully, "I was careless to recklessly teach him the Blood Burning Secret Technique. His body can’t handle it right now."

She continued, "But it’s useless to talk about it now. Little Yan’er, how’s your progress with the He Gu Heart Scripture?"

"Well... It’s so-so."

Little Dragon Girl said seriously, "So-so is not enough. Right now, while you are connected with him, you can try to use the He Gu Heart Scripture to absorb his internal Dragon Qi and simultaneously use your True Qi to nourish the meridians, which will help suppress his Dragon Transformation."

She warned again, "But during this process, you must keep your mind steadfast and not let the Dragon Qi influence you, or you’ll become just a puppet."

Zhu Yan bit her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and said breathlessly amidst Sun Zhe’s unending assault, "Okay...so what exactly...should I...do?"

"I’ll teach you!"

"..."

...

Time passed without discovery.

When Sun Zhe regained consciousness, he felt soreness all over.

Turning his head, he found himself lying in his room.

Recalling the moment just before losing consciousness, he vaguely remembered a flow of heat flooding his body, as if he had fallen into a furnace and instantly burnt to nothingness.

As for what happened afterward, he couldn’t recall anything.

Since he couldn’t remember, he might as well ask Little Dragon Girl.

He asked internally, "Sister Long, what happened before? Was I affected by the dragon nature after igniting the Essence Blood, as you mentioned?"

Little Dragon Girl’s Divine Sense voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "You still have the nerve to ask? The house was nearly torn down by you!"

Sun Zhe was stunned, "Goodness me! Really?"

Little Dragon Girl reprimanded, "I told you before, don’t think about random stuff when using the Secret Technique to burn blood, but you wouldn’t listen."

Sun Zhe looked bitter, "I really didn’t think anything random."

Little Dragon Girl said worriedly, "Thankfully, your Yan’er was there, and she happened to have learned the He Gu Heart Scripture, which helped suppress the Dragon Qi; otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do."

Sun Zhe asked anxiously, "Is she alright?"

"Don’t worry, she’s fine. Instead, her cultivation has grown after absorbing your Dragon Qi."

Sun Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good."

"Why are you so foolish? Even if you’re affected by the dragon nature, you could control it using the Dragon Taming Heart Method."

Sun Zhe scratched his head awkwardly, "At the time, I didn’t react. Once the Essence Blood ignited, the Dragon Qi was completely out of control."

"Never mind, since it’s fine now, wait until you practice Gathering Spirit before attempting blood burning again."

Sun Zhe said with determination, "Trust me, Sister Long, next time I will succeed!"

"Succeed at what? You won’t! I’m going to sleep now, don’t disturb me."

"Hey, Sister Long, you’re just like that..."

"Get lost!"

"..."

After waiting some time, until the soreness all over diminished, Sun Zhe finally got out of bed.

But when his feet landed and he stood up, he still felt sore all over, with joints cracking at every movement.

After a brief freshening up, he headed downstairs and saw Zhu Yan tidying up the wrecked living room.

"Yan’er."

Sun Zhe felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly went to hug her from behind.

"Hmm? What’s up, little rascal?"

Zhu Yan leaned back, gently rubbing her forehead against his face.

Sun Zhe buried his face in her neck, inhaling her hair’s fragrance greedily and said with pain, "I’m sorry to have worried you."

"Ah, it’s alright."

Sun Zhe released her, held her fragrant shoulders to face him, and said determinedly, "To make up for it, tonight I’ll repay!"

Upon hearing, Zhu Yan’s heart trembled, recalling the ripping pain from two hours ago.

Though it didn’t hurt at all after being nourished by Dragon Qi, instead it felt comfortable, and the wounds healed quickly. But the fleeting sharp pain, and the pain when Sun Zhe extracted, were like nails stuck in her heart, leaving shadows.

"Don’t... It’s better not to, you’re tired. Little rascal, can you spare yourself tonight?"

Zhu Yan kept her calm, forced herself to be composed, and politely refused.

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, smiling happily, "That’s good, that’s good, actually I was just messing around."

"You...!"

Zhu Yan instantly flushed angrily, ready to punch him.

Sun Zhe laughed heartily, darting away.

"Sun Xiaozhe, tonight you must repay!"

"..."

...

Another night’s commotion.

It was only after Sun Zhe completed his repayment that Zhu Yan went to sleep satisfied.

The next day.

Zhu Yan woke up early to go to work, and Sun Zhe also woke up early to go shopping.

His first "merchant" was the person behind the scenes of the Blazing Flame Group—Gu Lingxue!

But visiting Gu Lingxue wasn’t just to shop, he also needed help from Lieyang Group.

"Sister Lingxue, good morning."

Sun Zhe entered the luxurious apartment after punching in the code, immediately seeing Gu Lingxue’s graceful figure.

Currently, Gu Lingxue wearing black yoga clothes, body dripping in fragrant sweat, was practicing yoga in the spacious living room in front of a big screen.

Upon hearing Sun Zhe’s voice, Gu Lingxue turned her head, giving him a huge roll of her eyes.

"You pervert, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"..."
