Chapter 655: Chapter 57: The Beauty at the Window

After initially refining the Taotie, Lu Chengfeng constantly endured the erosion of the Heavenly Path Torrent. Though it was solely the Path of Devouring, it was a complete Great Tao, intricately connected to Chaos, utterly complete and terrifying.

Lu Chengfeng felt as if he was continually engaged in a mental battle and struggle with the Taotie, endless and ceaseless.

Even if he could suppress it, he couldn’t end the battle, merely continuing to confront it.

The most terrifying aspect was that the erosion would never stop, unless his Mental Realm reached an undying state one day; otherwise, he would always be influenced.

"Perhaps this isn’t necessarily a bad thing..."

Lu Chengfeng’s eyes were deep, and the Taotie’s shadow behind him grew increasingly real, as if stepping out of illusion.

"Moreover, I’ve long neglected the Guardian True Spirit."

The Guardian True Spirit was an entity with whom he had karmic ties, transformed by extracting a trace of True Spirit from a widow after her demise.

Born of the same root as Lu Chengfeng, as long as he remains alive, the Guardian True Spirit remains undying.

"Guarding the Tao, guarding the Tao. If it can’t protect my path, what purpose does the Guardian True Spirit serve."

Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath, pondering that perhaps he could allow the Guardian True Spirit to endure the erosion and pressure of the Heavenly Path Torrent for him.

Even the changes he had cultivated could be imbued in the Guardian True Spirit, truly becoming his avatar.

However, this step was challenging, requiring time to evolve and polish.

"No rush... I still have time..."

Lu Chengfeng calmed his mind, placated Luo Suyi, and set her to continue refining the Cyan Nether Palace and cultivating the Great Tao.

Luo Suyi’s cultivation was akin to a waterfall plunging from the heavens, without any bottlenecks, advancing rapidly.

Hence, Lu Chengfeng did not wish to disturb her cultivation. If all went smoothly, Luo Suyi might soon reclaim her position as Celestial Venerate.

Thus, time was on his side, and the most important thing for Luo Suyi now was her cultivation.

Lu Chengfeng knew Luo Suyi’s worries, but given the couple’s long time together, he had his ways to restore her calm and sanity.

With this thought, Lu Chengfeng directly lifted Luo Suyi, indifferent to the dumbfounded Su Hongxiu beside him, and swiftly approached the window, opening it with a smack.

As the window opened, heavenly light descended upon the Cyan Nether Palace, intermingling with the cold light unique to this palace, brushing across brows.

"Ah... Husband..."

Luo Suyi exclaimed, not only because of the window’s chill, but also because she was now pressed against the windowsill. The wind blowing on her fine, jade-like skin involuntarily sent chills through her.

Though, with her cultivation, she was long immune to cold and heat; she realized what her husband intended to do, glanced at Su Hongxiu beside her, and blushed slightly.

"Husband..."

She softly murmured, though having previously undergone many absurd situations with Lu Chengfeng, she quickly adapted, even purposefully turning her head, her hair cascading to one side, forming an aggrieved expression.

Lu Chengfeng said nothing; he knew his woman well. After a fierce battle, Luo Suyi, the little woman, would forget all worries and obediently cultivate with devotion.

She was always so pure, simple, with a touch of indulgence.

Under Lu Chengfeng’s intentional guidance, Luo Suyi lay outside the window, her beautiful eyes met not by curtains, pillows, or walls, but by heavenly light blowing from the Cyan Nether Palace and the scenery of lakes and mountains in this small world.

The external sights flooded into her visual field, providing a unique sensation, releasing the soul from restraints, evoking unspeakable excitement.

Lu Chengfeng gazed at the beauty leaning against the window, dazzling beneath the heavenly light, enchanting yet with a touch of cold elegance, her allure more captivating.

Soon, wrapped in a beautiful sensation, it washed over.

Luo Suyi felt it more deeply, her mouth slightly agape, as if floating in the clouds, drifting away, ghostly and ethereal, yet no sound emerged.

Unknowingly, days passed.

When it ended, Luo Suyi wore only a simple gauze dress, her hair braided to one side, tied with a ribbon. Her skin appeared jade-like, and combined with her alluring posture, she was the world’s most captivating scene.

"Suyi, we’ve journeyed through so much; regardless of the hardships, we’ve come through."

Lu Chengfeng, invigorated, seemed to cleanse much of the residual Taotie fiendish aura from himself.

"You must trust me, and trust yourself. With dedicated cultivation, you’ll soon reclaim your position as Celestial Venerate."

"Once that time comes, no matter what happens, we’ll stand side by side, facing it together."

"Celestial Venerate..." Luo Suyi felt a slight burden at the words, but upon seeing the man beside her, all burdens vanished.

"No matter the outcome, if you live, I’ll live with you; if you die, I’ll die with you, that’s all there is."

Luo Suyi silently mused, not wishing to burden her man further.

"Husband, rest assured, I will cultivate with a focused heart."

With these words, she kissed Lu Chengfeng on the forehead, then turned and left.

Lu Chengfeng watched her departing figure, deepening.
