5 Long Xuena and Xia Tian

Long Xuena didn't say much; she emerged from the blood pool, picked up her clothes, and awaited Xia Tian's entrance into the bedroom.

Xia Tian, reclining in the blood pool, couldn't help but sigh. Xia Tian and Long Xuena had been friends for years, yet an underlying tension always lingered between them. They both harbored secret feelings for each other, but neither had acted upon them. It wasn't that Xia Tian and Long Xuena were unaware of their engagement; rather, their interactions remained subdued. Today, Long Xuena's actions prompted Xia Tian to contemplate their relationship.

Xia Tian did have feelings for her, but his mindset differed. Hailing from the Primordial Universe, he faced unknown challenges on his path to strength, casting doubt on Long Xuena's resilience. Despite her talent, Xia Tian worried about her spirit amidst formidable adversaries. With these thoughts, he emerged from the blood pool, cleansed himself, and dressed before entering the bedroom.

Observing the stunning girl on his bed, Xia Tian approached and sat beside her.

"Na'er, are you certain you want to be my wife?" Xia Tian voiced his thoughts openly.

Hearing this, Long Xuena, lying on the bed, smiled, stretched her hand, and placed it on Xia Tian's. She replied, "Husband, you know I desire you."

Meeting Long Xuena's sincere gaze, Xia Tian climbed onto the bed, and before he could speak, Long Xuena seductively whispered, "Husband, make me yours. I want you!"

Overwhelmed, Xia Tian was about to respond when Long Xuena handed him a black pill and took a white one herself.

Before he could inquire, she initiated a passionate kiss. Their bodies entwined, reigniting long-suppressed desire. Xia Tian's hands explored Long Xuena's curves, intensifying the moment.

As their lovemaking unfolded, Xia Tian whispered, "I love you." Long Xuena, tears of joy in her eyes, replied, "I love you too," pledging eternal love.

The next morning, Xia Tian woke up and playfully teased Long Xuena's nose as she unconsciously requested more sleep.

"Uhh... let me sleep a little longer," she unconsciously mumbled.

"Haha, get up! It's already noon!" Xia Tian embraced her and urged gently.

She woke up startled, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Husband..." When she opened her eyes and saw Xia Tian holding her, she relaxed and leaned into him, wanting to stay close.

"Na'er, are you alright?" Xia Tian patted her back and asked, concerned.

"Husband, I'm fine. I forgot I was with you, so I subconsciously reacted like that," she explained.

"Alright... Don't worry, I'm here with you, okay?" Xia Tian reassured her.

She nodded in response.

"By the way, what was that pill you gave me last night, and why did you take one too?" Xia Tian inquired about the pill Long Xuena had given them.

"Oh, that pill... I obtained it from the Yin-Yang Saint inheritance. It's a Yin-Yang pill, and since we engaged in intercourse last night, I thought it could help increase our cultivation levels!" she explained.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked.

"Huh, do you have one too?" she asked in return.

"No..." Xia Tian admitted. Though he possessed many dual cultivation techniques, he couldn't use them now due to two reasons: this world might not withstand primordial skills, and Long Xuena might not comprehend them with her current cultivation level.

"Na'er..." Xia Tian pulled her closer to him and called her softly.

"What's wrong, husband?" Long Xuena noticed Xia Tian's unusual behavior and asked.

"Na'er, promise me something, okay?" he said.

"Husband, I promise. But is something bothering you?" she inquired.

"No, but please promise me you'll never leave me, okay?" Xia Tian requested.

"Husband, don't worry. I'll never leave you. Even if I die, I'll die in your arms," she assured him. She didn't want to lose Xia Tian, and her bold move the previous night reflected her love for him. Though she loved him deeply, she couldn't understand his current demeanor, as she had never sensed him hiding anything from her.

Hearing her words, Xia Tian felt her body press against his, and he could sense her sincerity.

"Hmm...but from now on, I do want to hear that words from your mouth okay?" Xia Tian said.

Hmm...she nodded.

"Husband, there's something I need to tell you about myself..." Long Xuena took a deep breath and decided to confide in Xia Tian.

"What is it?" he asked.

[A/N: Don't assume Xia Tian is emotionally fragile and incapable of handling loss or betrayal. It's merely a consequence of his past experiences. As the story progresses, you'll see.]
