Chapter 65: I’m Not Ready Yet (2)

Even though she had seen countless Geniuses, she had never witnessed such a terrifying advancement speed.

Moreover, not only did his cultivation soar, but he also possessed such powerful Spirit Fire and could personally refine Grade Six Medicinal Pills.

This was simply unbelievable.

He must have obtained an unimaginable heavenly Opportunity in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Ji Siyu instantly understood.

But looking at Chen Chuan’s profile as he focused on Alchemy, she felt no desire to pry; instead, an indescribable sense of pride and joy surged within her.

This was her husband, so outstanding, so extraordinary.

She recalled how the Elders and clansmen in her Family had advised her to distance herself from Chen Chuan, believing he was unworthy of her current status.

Ji Siyu’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile.

If they knew that Chen Chuan was now a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert and an Alchemy Dao Genius capable of refining Grade Six Medicinal Pills, how wonderful would their expressions be?

Thinking of this, her gaze toward Chen Chuan became even softer, filled with admiration and pride.

Several hours later, the Pill Furnace trembled slightly, and the lid opened.

Six round, plump Medicinal Pills, crimson-gold in color and surrounded by a faint halo, shot out and were accurately collected by Chen Chuan into a jade bottle.

The rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire room, invigorating the spirit upon smelling it.

"They are all Supreme Grade Blazing Sun Pills!"

Ji Siyu took a deep breath, already feeling somewhat numb.

After finishing the Alchemy, it was already night.

The moonlight, like water, spilled into the room through the window lattice.

There was only one bed in the room.

This was the first time since their marriage that they would truly share a bed.

Ji Siyu finished washing up, removed her outer robes, and was left wearing only a soft, snowy-white silk undergarment.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her heart involuntarily speeding up, her jade-like fingertips slightly curled, revealing her inner nervousness.

In the candlelight, her figure was graceful, her curves exquisite, and her damp black hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of enchanting charm that she usually lacked.

Chen Chuan walked to the bedside, looking at the beauty beneath the lamp.

Her shy and timid appearance was even more captivating than her usual cold and holy demeanor.

As his gaze swept over her undulating curves, Chen Chuan felt his throat go dry.

A wave of heat rushed through his body, and his breathing subconsciously became heavier.

He blew out the candle flame, and the room plunged into a hazy darkness, with only the moonlight outlining the contours of objects.

Chen Chuan lay down beside Ji Siyu. A slight distance separated them, yet they could clearly feel each other’s body temperature and breathing.

The air was filled with an ambiguous and tense atmosphere.

After a moment of stalemate, Chen Chuan ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the beauty beside him.

He turned onto his side, stretched out his arm, and gently pulled Ji Siyu into his embrace.

"Mm."

Her delicate body suddenly fell into a warm and solid embrace, and Ji Siyu couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.

Her body instantly stiffened, and her heart rate accelerated.

She could clearly feel the heat and powerful heartbeat radiating from Chen Chuan’s chest, as well as the noticeable change in his body.

That sensation made her cheeks instantly turn hot, and even her earlobes and jade neck flushed crimson.

She remembered that Chen Chuan was supposed to be impotent, right?

How could this be?

But she quickly understood: Chen Chuan’s cultivation had greatly advanced, and his physical ailments must have been fixed as a result.

This realization filled her heart with shyness, mixed with a faint, inexplicable joy.

Chen Chuan held the soft, jade-like, fragrant body in his arms, and his breathing grew heavier.

He lowered his head, leaned close to Siyu’s ear, and his voice was low and slightly hoarse from suppression: "Siyu."

Merely calling her name, the implication was already self-evident.

Ji Siyu’s delicate body trembled again. The skin brushed by his breath broke out in goosebumps, and her heart was utterly flustered.

She subconsciously squeezed her legs together, her small hands nervously clutching the sheet beneath her.

Her voice was like a mosquito’s buzz, carrying unprecedented shyness and a hint of barely noticeable pleading:

"Chen Chuan, I—I’m not ready yet. Could, could you give me a little more time?"

When she said this, her entire face was practically buried in his chest; she didn’t dare to look at him.

Although they were husband and wife, she was still a virgin after all, filled with a maiden’s instinctive modesty and helplessness regarding the intimacy that might occur.

Feeling the tension and subtle trembling of the delicate body in his arms, and hearing her soft plea, Chen Chuan’s boiling blood gradually cooled down.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner impulse. He tightened his arm around her but made no further move.

"Alright." His deep voice sounded in the darkness, laced with restraint. "Sleep."

Since she wasn’t ready yet, he naturally wouldn’t force her.

Mutual affection leading to a natural conclusion is the best outcome.

Hearing Chen Chuan’s answer, Ji Siyu’s tightly strung nerves suddenly relaxed, and a huge wave of warmth and emotion surged in her heart.

She quietly raised her head and, in the hazy moonlight, looked at the profile of Chen Chuan’s face, closed in silent endurance. The love in her heart deepened.

She actively snuggled closer into his arms, finding a more comfortable position, and whispered, "Thank you, Husband."

That night, Ji Siyu spent the first truly shared night since their marriage in Chen Chuan’s embrace.

Although she was shy and nervous, she felt doubly secure and warm.

The next morning, Chen Chuan delivered the six refined Supreme Grade Blazing Sun Pills to the Wanbao Tower again.

When Steward Wang inspected the six Supreme Grade Blazing Sun Pills, which radiated Spiritual Qi, in the jade bottle, the astonishment on his face could no longer be concealed.

He looked at Chen Chuan in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly:

"Y-Young Master Chen, were these six Supreme Grade Blazing Sun Pills refined by you last night?"

Refining six Grade Six Supreme Grade Medicinal Pills overnight?

What kind of terrifying pill formation rate and Alchemy attainment was this?

Moreover, Chen Chuan was too young.

Such a young Alchemy Grandmaster was rare across the entire Sacred Martial Continent.

Chen Chuan neither confirmed nor denied it, merely stating lightly, "Thank you for your trouble, Steward Wang."

Steward Wang instantly became solemn with respect, his attitude even more deferential than before, carrying a hint of reverence.

He had already elevated Chen Chuan’s status to an extremely high level in his mind.

After fully entrusting the auction matters, Chen Chuan and Ji Siyu left Tianyu City.

This time, the two did not linger and headed back toward the Primordial Holy Land.
