Only after seeing that Jiang Chen had also obtained the Killing God Domain did Hu Liena finally feel completely at ease.
With this, their mission to the Slaughter City was perfectly accomplished.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing it. Within this Killing God Domain surged a vast killing intent; the resulting aura and pressure could prevent opponents from displaying their full strength.
The power of the Killing God Domain could increase as one's martial soul grew.
Right now, his Killing God Domain was at its most basic effect: within the domain, the opponent's strength would automatically weaken by ten percent, while he himself could exert one hundred and ten percent of his power.
With one increase and one decrease, it was equivalent to him being able to perform at one hundred and twenty percent of his strength.
If he were to stack it with his zombie domain...
A thick smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. This wave was truly worth it.
His physique had improved, he had awakened a domain, and in the end, he was even rewarded with the Killing God Domain. Moreover, the Asura God seemed to have developed a rather favorable impression of him.
Thinking of the Asura God, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit itchy in his teeth.
He was certain that the Asura God had definitely tripped him up at the last moment; otherwise, he couldn't possibly have passed the final trial with such difficulty.
"That old fellow said I still need observation; it probably won't be short-term. Looks like I'll have to perform well in the future." Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Seeing Jiang Chen lowering his head in contemplation, Hu Liena did not disturb him and waited quietly.
However, she could not fully suppress her own aura, and from time to time, terrifying killing intent leaked out.
"Senior Sister, let's return to Spirit City," Jiang Chen said, raising his head.
"Mm." Hu Liena nodded in agreement. With Jiang Chen by her side, she had already grown unaccustomed to making decisions herself.
Jiang Chen determined the direction and led Hu Liena toward the south.
After a year, Jiang Chen had grown taller again. At this moment, Hu Liena appeared somewhat petite beside him.
Recalling all the experiences he and Hu Liena had shared over these years, as well as the scenes of facing hardships together in the Slaughter City, a sudden surge of emotion welled up in Jiang Chen's heart.
He naturally took Hu Liena's hand, and the two stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Hu Liena asked shyly. Even though she had already had many intimate moments with Jiang Chen, being the one to take the initiative still brought out her girlish demeanor.
Jiang Chen's heart pounded fiercely. His gaze fixed on Hu Liena's delicate oval face as he reached out to caress it.
"Senior Sister, I want to treat you well for the rest of my life. Are you willing to be my woman?" Jiang Chen gazed at Hu Liena with incomparable affection.
Hu Liena's heart also began to beat uncontrollably. When had she ever heard such sweet words of love, and spoken by the man she liked, no less?
At this moment, her heart felt as sweet as honey, overwhelmingly shy, with blushes already flying uncontrollably across her face.
Her little junior brother had finally confessed to her. She had waited for this day for a very long time.
Her gaze dared not meet Jiang Chen's directly; her head lowered slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I am willing."
Seeing the beauty's shy appearance, Jiang Chen was almost entranced. He reached out and lifted Hu Liena's chin.
Hu Liena seemed to sense what was coming. Her eyes slowly closed, her long eyelashes trembling lightly, her breathing somewhat rapid.
...
Jiang Chen offered his first kiss, only separating from Hu Liena when he was nearly out of control.
He held Hu Liena tightly, both hearts beating intensely.
Hu Liena's face was flushed crimson, her eyes somewhat dazed, as if she were drunk.
She could feel Jiang Chen's nervousness; his heartbeat was racing even faster than hers.
She couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle and shrank further into Jiang Chen's embrace.
"Little Chen, aren't you still thinking about that Xue'er? After we return to Spirit Hall, go find her as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. "Senior Sister, didn't you use to oppose it? How come now..."
Before Jiang Chen could finish, Hu Liena's slender finger had already pressed against his lips.
"I understand your feelings toward her, little junior brother. Since you can accept me, I am already very satisfied. Speaking of which, I'm considered the one who came later, and... I am already your person, aren't I?"
Jiang Chen felt deeply moved. He patted the hand that was holding Hu Liena and teased, "Not truly my person yet, though."
Hu Liena gave Jiang Chen a shy glare, and in that instant, her charm nearly made Jiang Chen lose control.
Fortunately, after so many years, he had already tempered an iron will in this regard.
Hu Liena continued, "If it were any other girl, I wouldn't be willing. Xue'er... she can barely be considered worthy of you."
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile. If Qian Renxue was only "barely" worthy of him, then just how outstanding must he be?
"Little Chen, should we tell Teacher about our relationship?" Hu Liena asked.
Jiang Chen sighed. "Not for now."
"Is there a reason?" Hu Liena pressed her pretty face against Jiang Chen's chest and looked up at him.
"Because Xue'er is the teacher's daughter." Jiang Chen revealed this secret.
He added, "This is the teacher's secret."
Hu Liena was somewhat shocked. That girl with unparalleled appearance and talent was actually the teacher's daughter.
No wonder she was so outstanding.
"I will keep it confidential," she said softly.
She also understood Jiang Chen's meaning. If their relationship were made public, Bibi Dong might not allow Jiang Chen and Xue'er to be together.
But Bibi Dong was, after all, an experienced woman. Could their relationship really be hidden from her?
"Let's go. It's been over a year since we last saw Teacher; I miss her a little," Jiang Chen said.
"Mm, me too."
...
The two bought a carriage and headed toward Spirit City.
Whenever night fell, and they passed through towns, Jiang Chen would find an inn and book two rooms to rest.
Hu Liena said nothing about this.
Now that the layer between her and Jiang Chen had been pierced, she was no longer in a hurry.
She didn't want Jiang Chen to think she was a frivolous woman. Some things were better left to happen naturally.
...
The carriage did not travel quickly; it took about ten days before they finally returned to Spirit City.
Along the way, Jiang Chen deliberately slowed their pace to let Hu Liena relax and unwind, gradually easing the uncontrollable aftereffects on her body.
When they first left, Hu Liena had often remained in an extremely tense state, suspicious of everything around her except Jiang Chen.
Now, upon returning to Spirit City, the ice-cold heart within Hu Liena finally regained some warmth.
Here was her real older brother, and here was the teacher she respected. This was her home.
"Senior Sister, we're home."
Jiang Chen took Hu Liena's hand and strode up toward the Pope's Mountain.
The sudden reappearance of the Pope's two disciples, who had been missing for a year, greatly surprised the mountain guards. Especially the invisible cold aura emanating from Jiang Chen and Hu Liena, it actually made them feel a chill of fear.
Everyone couldn't help but be horrified. Just what level of strength had the Pope's two disciples reached?
After entering the Pope's Palace, the two did not return to their dormitories but first headed toward Bibi Dong's chambers.
Having returned from Slaughter City, the most important thing they should do is to report their safety to the teacher first.
"I wonder if the teacher will be satisfied?" Both Jiang Chen and Hu Liena thought the same thing at the same time.
