Cultivation Online
chapter-681

The Huang Family gathered Yuan and the other bodyguards shortly after the announcement regarding the Flying Leviathan.

"As you should all know by now, there is a Flying Leviathan heading our way. This is a life-or-death situation for everyone on the ship, so we'll need to give it our all to defeat the Flying Leviathan together." Huang Chen said to them.

Everyone there nodded their heads with serious expressions on their faces.

"Anyways, let's all head to the deck and see what the captain of this ship has to say to us."

"Wait." Yuan suddenly stopped them.

"What's the matter?"

"I… I need to prepare myself for the Flying Leviathan, so if you don't mind, I will stay behind." Yuan said to them.

Huang Chen nodded, "You'll have two hours to prepare until the Flying Leviathan arrives. Do your best."

"Father, I will stay here with him." Huang Xiao Li suddenly said.

Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before looking at Yuan. "Do you mind?"

Although he wasn't sure why his daughter wanted to stay here with Yuan, he didn't object to it either.

"I don't mind." Yuan shook his head.

Everyone but Yuan and Huang Xiao Li gathered at the deck of the ship shortly after.

"Do you mind if I use your room?" Yuan asked Huang Xiao Li when they were alone.

"No, go ahead. I was going to ask you to come with me, anyway."

"Are you trying to go somewhere?"

"Not exactly."

Once they entered the room, Huang Xiao Li locked the door behind her.

"I am going to cultivate now." Yuan said as he looked around for a place to sit.

However, he suddenly heard something falling onto the ground.

It was a gentle sound, so whatever dropped just now was light and soft.

Yuan turned around to make sure everything was okay, and his eyes widened with shock when he saw the scene.

"X-Xiao Li…? What are you doing?" Yuan asked her, who had suddenly stripped naked.

Indeed, what had just dropped onto the floor just now were Huang Xiao Li's clothes.

"Yuan…" Tears began flowing down Huang Xiao Li's face as she spoke, "I don't want to die alone… Before we die… can you make love to me?"

"..." Yuan didn't know how to respond and silently stared at her crying face.

"T-That vixen! What is she trying to do to my darling with my face?!" Inside the spectators' room, Chu Liuxiang became livid when she saw what was happening through the pond.

Even Feng Yuxiang and Min Li were dumbfounded by the situation, as they could've never imagined that such a thing would happen during the trial.

As for Xiao Hua, she couldn't comprehend the situation, hence why she was still relatively calm, only feeling mildly puzzled.

Meanwhile, back in the room, Huang Xiao Li continued with her advances on Yuan.

"Please, Yuan… Even though I am a little desperate, I won't do this just with anyone… In fact, my body is still pure…"

Huang Xiao Li slowly approached Yuan before spreading her slender arms and embracing him.

"Let's make love to each other while we still can, until we die, okay…?" She whispered to his ears in a painful voice.

Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He opened his arms and hugged Huang Xiao Li back.

"Is he really going to do it with her?! But she has my face!" Chu Liuxiang felt the urge to cry when she imagined Yuan sleeping with Huang Xiao Li.

However, it was not because he's sleeping with another woman. It was the fact that Huang Xiao Li had her face that devastated Chu Liuxiang.

"Thank you… Yuan…" Huang Xiao Li said to him.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request." Yuan suddenly said, dumbfounding her.

"Eh?" She looked at him with her eyes as wide as saucers.

Yuan stared at her in the eyes and said, "You won't die alone… because I won't let you die today."

"B-B-But it's a Flying Leviathan! There's no way we could defeat that monster! Nobody has survived a Leviathan's attack before, much less a Flying Leviathan! It's impossible!"

"Trust me, I will defeat it." Yuan said before picking up Huang Xiao Li's clothes and handing them back to her.

Huang Xiao Li silently looked at her clothes for a long moment before lifting her head to look at Yuan.

She eventually nodded and said, "If I die alone, I will haunt you in your next life so that you will never be able to find a partner, Yuan."

Yuan's body trembled when he heard her words that reminded him of Azure.

"I promise." He smiled.

He then took a seat on the ground before retrieving a small box from his spatial ring.

After putting her clothes back on, Huang Xiao Li asked him, "What is that? How is that going to prepare you for the battle?"

Yuan opened the box, revealing a crystal inside.

"Is that a monster core? You're going to cultivate that right now? It's going to take days depending on what kind of monster core it is! We only have two hours before the Flying Leviathan arrives— less than that, actually!"

Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a monster core, and it won't take days."

He opened his mouth and tossed the crystal inside the next moment.

"Wha—?!" Huang Xiao Li was shocked by Yuan's actions.

'Wait… Since it's not a monster core, it should be fine…' She quickly calmed down.

Yuan could immediately feel the crystal melting in his mouth, and a bitter and somewhat spicy taste quickly followed.

<??? Qi has been absorbed from the Demon Core!>

<You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough!>

<You have reached the sixth level Spirit Grandmaster!>

<+30,000 Stats>

'An immediate breakthrough?!' Huang Xiao Li cried inwardly when she sensed his breakthrough.

However, that was not the end of her shock, as Yuan's cultivation base continued to quickly soar towards Spirit Lord!

"What did he just swallow?" Chu Liuxiang asked out of curiosity.

"That's the Demon Lord's Demon Core…" Lan Yingying responded to her question in a dazed voice.
