...
Three hours later, the room was in a bit of disarray, and Ning Tian's mind was completely blank.
He seemed to have misunderstood something!
Nothing happened last night, because just now, he discovered that Luo Wuqing was still a virgin!
He had misunderstood!
A rustling sound came from beside him. Luo Wuqing's face remained icy as she once again donned her blue and white long dress and placed the phoenix crown on her head.
She glanced at Ning Tian indifferently, as if nothing had happened, her beautiful face cold and emotionless.
"Remember, come to the Heavenly Demon Hall at dusk. We will hold the wedding ceremony as planned!"
With that, she turned and left, leaving only a graceful silhouette for Ning Tian.
"What does she mean by this?"
Ning Tian chuckled bitterly, inadvertently catching sight of the faint red glow on the bed, and couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh. A misunderstanding had accidentally cost her purity.
Does this mean he got a wife for free?
At this moment, the system's voice rang out.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving worldwide shock, rewarding ten years of cultivation!!]
Then, an endless stream of spiritual energy erupted from Ning Tian's body.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to First-layer Martial Practitioner!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Second-layer Martial Practitioner!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Third-layer Martial Practitioner!]
[...]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to Ninth-layer Martial Practitioner!]
[Host breakthrough!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to First-layer Basalt Master!]
In the blink of an eye, Ning Tian's strength reached the level of a First-layer Basalt Master, a realm that some people couldn't achieve even after decades of effort.
Yet at this moment, he reached it in just an instant.
The strength on the Tianxuan Continent is roughly divided into: Martial Practitioner, Basalt Master, Spirit Communication Realm, Earth King Realm, Holy Emperor Realm, Heavenly Venerable Realm, Divine Emperor Realm, Semi-God Realm, and Ancestral God Realm!
And Ning Tian's newly acquired wife was actually at the Divine Emperor Realm!
"Oh my..." Ning Tian pursed his lips, deeply feeling the gap between him and Luo Wuqing!
However, he wasn't discouraged at all; instead, he excitedly licked his lips.
Didn't he just have sex with a peerless powerhouse at the Divine Emperor Realm?
It must be said, the shock reward from the system was truly powerful, capable of suppressing even a Divine Emperor Realm expert!
"It seems I need to train seriously now!"
"I, Ning Tian, am not someone who likes to be a gigolo!"
Ning Tian clenched his fist. If his strength was lower than Luo Wuqing's, how could he ever tell his Empress wife that the world is vast, but the husband is the greatest?
With that, he sat cross-legged.
Feeling the vast world, the endless spiritual energy flowed into his body.
***
Outside the room.
Luo Wuqing paused for a moment, watching Ning Tian begin to train inside. Her face remained expressionless, but her heart was a mix of emotions.
When her spiritual energy was restored just now, she almost used it to eliminate this scoundrel, but in the end, she held back.
For the greater good, she had to endure!
After giving the room one last deep look, Luo Wuqing turned and walked towards the back mountain of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Along the way, many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect saw her, each showing a look of awe and bowing to express their respect for Luo Wuqing.
It was only after Luo Wuqing entered the forbidden area of the back mountain that they dared to straighten their bodies, watching the direction she left.
The sound of discussions spread at this moment.
"Have you heard? The Empress is going to marry a useless disciple from our sect!"
"Are you talking about Ning Tian? A waste who has been in the sect for three years and is still stuck at the First-layer Martial Practitioner!"
"I really can't understand, how could the Empress fancy such a waste? That guy is nothing but handsome!"
"......"
The discussions continued endlessly.
Many male disciples were both envious and resentful of Ning Tian. After all, she was the Empress, not only incredibly powerful but also stunningly beautiful!
To have such a wife, they would gladly shorten their lifespan!
But at the same time, they couldn't understand why the Empress would marry a waste.
***
Deep in the back mountain, this was the forbidden area of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Luo Wuqing walked to a tightly closed stone door, waved her hand, and the door opened, welcoming her inside.
As she stepped in, the originally dark space lit up brightly.
On the walls on both sides, clusters of green ghostly flames appeared as she walked in, leading to a massive statue ahead.
Standing before the statue, Luo Wuqing said calmly, "I'm about to marry someone with the Heavenly God Physique, so shouldn't I be given the Heavenly Demon Scriptures?"
A hint of black light seemed to flash across the statue, but there was no response.
Seeing this, Luo Wuqing frowned. It was said that the Heavenly Demon Sect possessed a supreme tome, the Heavenly Demon Scriptures, which could grant the path to godhood upon cultivation.
For a Divine Emperor Realm expert to break through to the Emperor Realm, one must have an item, the path to godhood.
But to obtain the Heavenly Demon Scriptures, there was an odd requirement.
The current sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect must marry someone with the Heavenly God Physique to acquire the Demon Scriptures.
And she had searched for three whole years, only to find a few days ago that the person with the Heavenly God Physique was actually within her Heavenly Demon Sect!
However, he was a loser who remained a First-layer Martial Practitioner no matter how hard he trained!
Though he was a loser, for the greater good, she resolutely chose to marry him!
"Half a year later, when the Five Emperors, Three Venerables, and Twin Emperors invade, if I can't break through to the Emperor Realm, how will I resist?"
"Could it be that my Heavenly Demon Sect is destined to be destroyed?"
Luo Wuqing murmured softly, her tone carrying a hint of worry.
"I hope he can truly bring the Demon Scriptures, otherwise, I will have no choice but to kill the one who defiled my body..."
***
At this moment, dusk.
There was only half an hour left until the Empress's wedding ceremony.
The entire vast Heavenly Demon Sect was bustling with activity, with many forces from the Eastern Prosperity Kingdom and the Tianling Domain coming to offer their congratulations.
But more than that, they wanted to see what kind of "divine being" this loser marrying the Empress was.
Inside the room.
Ning Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, rich spiritual energy circulating through his body, and he exhaled a heavy breath.
Ding!
The system's voice followed!
[Congratulations to the host for another breakthrough, reaching Six-star Basalt Master!]
With ten times the spiritual energy absorption, he had broken through five small levels in just a few hours. If others knew, they would be shocked out of their minds!
Ning Tian opened his eyes, not in a hurry to get up, but instead checked his personal attribute panel.
[Host: Ning Tian]
[Strength: Six-star Basalt Master]
[Physique: Heavenly God Physique]
[Techniques: None]
[Martial Skills: None]
[Technique Training: Tenfold Training]
[Martial Arts Comprehension: Tenfold Comprehension]
[Spiritual Energy Absorption: Tenfold Absorption]
Seeing his attribute panel, Ning Tian discovered something he hadn't noticed before.
That was the Heavenly God Physique.
"System, what is this Heavenly God Physique?" Ning Tian asked.
System: "..."
Ning Tian: "..."
Alright, it seems the system doesn't want to answer.
Ning Tian shook his head, then stood up. It was about time; as one of the main characters of the wedding ceremony, he couldn't be late, could he?
Changing out of his shabby disciple clothes, he put on the attire Luo Wuqing had prepared for him and headed towards the grand hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect with satisfaction.
