Chapter 1462: The Change of Yue Ying! You

Another three hours passed.

Only when the pond water began to turn murky did Xu Jingming reluctantly stop, still unsatisfied.

At this moment, Yue Ying's fair, delicate face wore a dazed expression; it took her a long while to recover.

"Come out of the water first."

Xu Jingming patted her round, firm rear and spoke.

"I want you to hold me~"

Yue Ying didn't move, only gazed at him with her sultry gray eyes, cooing.

"Fine, as you wish."

Xu Jingming wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her from the water.

During this, her fully exposed curves trembled violently.

Fortunately, after the past five hours, his emotions had calmed; otherwise, he might have continued.

Crackling—

The Annihilating Divine Thunder surged forth, instantly evaporating all water droplets from their bodies.

Xu Jingming waved his hand, and the Heaven's Sky Battle Robe on the ground flew over, automatically fitting itself onto him.

His movements were fluid and natural; the thunderous aura around him receded with his will, and in an instant, he returned to his usual composed, restrained demeanor.

Except for the gentle look he gave Yue Ying, there was almost no visible change.

Yue Ying's movements, however, were much slower.

She took out her own light green battle robe from her space ring.

As she dressed, her motions remained slightly stiff.

It wasn't injury—rather, subtle aches in certain parts of her body reminded her of what had just happened.

When Yue Ying had fully dressed, Xu Jingming's eyes brightened.

Dressed, Yue Ying presented an entirely different style.

She still possessed her exquisite face, silver hair cascading like a waterfall, pointed ears erect.

Yet upon closer inspection, she was clearly different from before.

The icy, snow-lotus-like chill in her aura had greatly faded, replaced by a faint softness and allure.

A light blush still lingered on her fair cheeks.

Her brows and eyes no longer carried their usual aloofness and pride; instead, they radiated satisfaction and languor from being thoroughly nourished.

When her gaze shifted, it carried a charm she had never shown before.

The most obvious change was in her eyes.

Those gray eyes had once been like a frost-covered pool veiled in mist—cold and mysterious.

Now, the mist had cleared.

Deep within the pool, as if a stone had been cast, gentle, warm ripples spread.

Especially when she looked at him, her eyes overflowed with dependence and tenderness.

This made Xu Jingming feel a pang of reflection.

He never imagined that the elf princess, once so aloof and renowned for her icy composure,

would reveal such an expression after being tamed.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xu Jingming lost in thought, Yue Ying thought her battle robe wasn't properly worn.

As she asked, she looked down to adjust it.

"Nothing. You look beautiful."

Xu Jingming smiled faintly and gently brushed her silver hair.

Jiang Chuxuan's hair was also silver-white, but perhaps because she was an elf,

Yue Ying's hair was even softer.

"Good."

Yue Ying exhaled in relief.

Immediately, her eyes curved into crescents, like an energetic little girl.

She affectionately hugged his arm, slipping it gently into her ample chest.

Then she asked lightly: "Where are we going next?"

"Leave now? Or rest a bit longer?"

Xu Jingming teased with a smile.

Though the release after three years had also left him immersed,

his control was sufficient to prevent him from becoming overly indulgent.

But Yue Ying…

Faint red marks still lingered on her fair neck.

With her Star Level Two physique, these marks would take some time to fully fade.

Besides, he had held back slightly during the process.

Otherwise, with her hypersensitive body, she would have long collapsed, eyes rolling back in unconsciousness.

Hearing the teasing tone in Xu Jingming's voice, Yue Ying looked down at her neck and blushed slightly.

She knew exactly what those marks were—and remembered how she had lost control at the peak of passion…

"It's fine. I am Star Level Two, and with my Silver Moon bloodline, my physique isn't weak."

Her voice replied, soft as a drifting mosquito.

"Alright, let's go find that heavenly treasure you sensed first."

Xu Jingming, seeing this, stopped teasing and smiled.

"Good."

Yue Ying's moonlit eyes brightened slightly. "That heavenly treasure… I can sense its exact location—over there!"

She pointed with her slender fingers toward the southeast.

"Good."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate. "Then let's go directly there."

Before his words had fully faded, a pair of brilliant golden thunder wings erupted behind him.

The wings spanned five to six meters wide, each feather forged from condensed, solid-like lightning.

Fine electric serpents slithered along their edges, radiating a terrifying ripple of cosmic law.

This was the first time Yue Ying had seen Xu Jingming activate a flight combat technique so closely.

Her eyes widened, her gray irises filled with awe.

The lightning law contained within those wings was utterly pure, refined to perfection.

Each arc of electricity seemed to trace an arcane path, and the faint pressure it emitted made her breath stall.

"Your flight speed is too slow. I'll carry you from now on."

Xu Jingming extended his hand toward her.

Yue Ying nodded and naturally opened her arms.

Xu Jingming swept her up in his arms, his motion fluid, as if he'd done it countless times before.

Of course, he'd done it plenty just moments ago too…

Yue Ying instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself against his chest.

"Hold on tight."

Xu Jingming warned.

The next instant, the golden thunder wings slammed downward!

"Boom—!!"

A sonic boom, like thunder exploding, ripped through the cave!

Xu Jingming, carrying Yue Ying, became a golden streak, blasting out of the cave and shooting skyward!

Wind howled past their ears; the surroundings blurred into streaks of flowing color.

Yue Ying felt a crushing acceleration pinning her hard against Xu Jingming's chest.

Everything in her peripheral vision stretched into long, trailing afterimages.

She could not make out any detail of the forest below—only vast swathes of green receding like a tidal wave.

"This… this speed is too fast!?"

Yue Ying couldn't help exclaiming.

Remember, the gravity of Xuelian Star is extremely high!

Her own flight speed barely reached the speed of sound.

But Xu Jingming's speed now was at least twenty times the speed of sound!

Remember, even a typical Star Peak cultivator on Xuelian Star flies at around ten times the speed of sound.

Xu Jingming far surpassed that.

"This is Thunderwing."

It's a T2-level flight combat technique given to me by Sister Yeli. I've trained it to Perfect Mastery.

Naturally, the speed is extreme."

Xu Jingming explained with a smile.

Yue Ying stared, dumbfounded.

T2-level combat technique? Perfect Mastery?

She'd heard rumors about Xu Jingming's nickname "The Loot King," but never understood why.

Now she finally understood.

With this speed, who could catch him? Who could stop him from snatching prey at the critical moment?

"Monster…"

Yue Ying muttered under her breath.

Yet as soon as the words left her lips, a faint smile curled at her lips.

Xu Jingming glanced down at her, puzzled. "Why are you smiling?"

"I was thinking—you're mine now."

"The stronger you are, the happier I am."

Yue Ying lifted her face, her gray eyes brimming with mischief and satisfaction.

Her words were blunt and bold—utterly unlike her usual cold demeanor.
