Gao Liang smiled warmly and said, "Come with me!" After speaking, he led Ying'er into a room. Upon entering, Ying'er was amazed to see numerous vibrant red roses throughout the room. At the center of the roses stood a torch, drawn from the sacred flame outside the main hall. Though not as large as the one outside the hall, the torch was exquisitely crafted—its surface featured not only colorful clouds but also a majestic dragon-and-phoenix motif. A dragon and phoenix together symbolize a perfect union, harmony between heaven and humanity. Gao Liang turned to Ying'er and asked, "Do you like it?" "I love it so much! Husband!" Ying'er was delighted by the torch and the red roses. "There are 999 roses here—symbolizing the everlasting nature of our love," Gao Liang explained. "Husband! I'm so touched!" Ying'er's eyes were glistening with emotion. Gao Liang, speaking with a warm, magnetic tone, continued, "Do you know?" Ying'er, today is a special day—one I didn’t expect. If I’m not mistaken, today is your birthday! “What? Today’s my birthday?” Ying'er was quite surprised. How did my husband know it was my birthday? Gao Liang chuckled and said, “I have a treasure here. Believe me? I can determine your birthday based on the patterns in your palm!” “Wow! Really? That’s amazing!” Ying'er was thrilled, yet shook her head vigorously, saying, “No way! I don’t believe it!” Gao Liang then produced an ancient Ba-Gua inkstone and said to her, “Ying'er, extend your hand and place it on the inkstone!” Ying'er did as instructed, placing her right palm on the inkstone. The fine patterns of her palm gradually became visible. “Look! This is your heavenly stem, this is your earthly branch, and this one marks the Ji Zi cycle… In the Ba-Gua system, by analyzing these patterns, we can determine the year you were born!” "Guangliang spoke a series of well-organized words, leaving Ying'er deeply impressed. "Your birthday today, on the 18th of August—what a wonderful day! Heh, Husband, happy birthday to you!" After saying this, Guangliang presented Ying'er with a grand birthday cake, which was his own creation—complete with a heart-shaped design symbolizing true love. Ying'er felt so blessed, cherished by her husband, and deeply at ease. At that moment, suddenly, the lights went out. The torch extinguished as well. "I'm so afraid!" Ying'er wasn't used to life without light. Guangliang chuckled—it wasn't difficult at all. With a simple gesture, he lit a towering candle. Now, under the warm glow of the candle, surrounded by flowers, the cake, roses, and the two deeply in love people, the atmosphere was once again warm and romantic. Guangliang and Ying'er were completely overwhelmed with emotion. It was their first genuine, heartfelt, mutual deep connection. Gao Liang boldly stripped off Ying'er's clothes, and Ying'er, like a bamboo shoot being peeled layer by layer, was gradually undressed by her exceptional husband. Ying'er's cheeks flushed with a delicate pink hue, radiant and alluring. Gao Liang passionately kissed every part of her body, and with each fervent kiss, Ying'er's body trembled. Gao Liang's kisses held an equally powerful impact on Ying'er. Now, Gao Liang had ascended to the status of a divine warrior king in the universe—his kisses were energy-infused, capable of releasing a special energy that precisely helped Ying'er achieve optimal yin-yang balance within her body. "Wife! Let's practice true dual cultivation together! How about that?" Gao Liang gazed deeply at Ying'er's snow-white skin, his voice filled with emotion. "Sure, husband!" At this moment, Ying'er, too, couldn't help but feel the importance of her husband, fearing that he might stop caressing and kissing her. Together, they immersed themselves in the river of love, passionately kissing one another. Highlighted was so domineering, like a starving wolf greedily devoureding a delicate, frail white lamb before him. The lamb willingly surrendered to the wolf's grasp, and Ying'er was completely claimed by Highlighted. Ying'er gasped softly, while Xiao Qiong emitted a soft humming sound, which only intensified Highlighted's passion. Ying'er was being conquered, enduring relentless assaults. "Ah!" Something forcefully entered Ying'er's body, and two clear tears welled up in her eyes. At this moment, Highlighted realized how rough and unrefined he had been, lacking any understanding of tenderness and grace. He then began passionately kissing Ying'er's neck, her collarbone, her earlobes, and the full, rounded chest of the white rabbit. Ying'er felt all tingling and scattered, and occasionally, Xiao Qiong would emit a sound—Highlighted judged it was time to deepen Ying'er's happiness. He quickened his pace, and Ying'er was once again conquered. Ying'er's hair danced, her body trembled, and her body was drenched in fragrant sweat. "Husband!" "The 108-posture Twin-Practice of the *Damo Easy Tendon Classic*, let's do it together! Shall we?" Gao Liang suggested. Ying'er nodded gently, now completely enchanted by Gao Liang's affection. She gave her husband her full cooperation—whatever he asked, she did, as long as it pleased him and made him happy. In the warm, romantic room, they continuously changed positions, deepening their mutual energy exchange. Through this practice, they achieved complementary strengths. The mental energy that Ying'er had previously found weaker against Gao Liang was now returned to her through the twin practice—yet she noticed that this returned energy was richer, more vibrant, and infused with greater vitality. As for Gao Liang? Through dual cultivation with Ying'er, the spiritual energy within Ying'er flows continuously into Highlight, blending with the Five Elements energy within his own body, the terrestrial soil energy from the realm of Earth, and the spiritual energy from the realm of the Underworld. This fusion ultimately forms an even more potent energy, which is fully regulated and refined by Highlight. The sovereign energy—concentrating the essence of heaven and earth—manifests vividly within Highlight’s body. His physique grows increasingly robust, his muscles brimming with boundless strength. While others may be considered muscular or athletic, Highlight surpasses even the ordinary muscular and athletic men of the mortal realm. This is due to his rigorous physical training, specialized mental cultivation, and unique bodily optimization. Through this dual cultivation with Ying'er, his internal micro-circulation has become more harmonious, achieving a balanced yin-yang state, with the energies of heaven and earth fully integrated within him. Highlight is becoming increasingly handsome and refined. And what about our heroine? As a result of deeply cultivating together with her perfect husband, her body underwent significant transformations. Not only did her internal energy become abundant, but externally as well, she grew increasingly beautiful. Ying'er's muscles grew whiter and more rosy, her skin improved in tone, her black hair fine and dense, her features elegant and refined, her face delicate, her figure slim and her posture graceful and alluring—radiant and sensuous. The two of them enjoyed undisturbed, intimate moments of affection and passion in the Xingle Palace, fully immersed in their deep love.
