At this moment, Ryan Ling couldn't resist such temptation and instantly hooked up with Joanna Long. Within seconds, the whole Dragon Ranch echoed with her earth-shattering screams.
Ryan was totally stunned—he’d dealt with all kinds of women before, but this was the first time anyone had screamed so loud. Her wild shriek startled all the dragons nearby, and even outside, the attackers paused, wondering what the hell that shout was about!
While the two were going at it, Joanna Long started slowly passing her clan’s detoxification art to Ryan. It was a weird technique—only a man’s yang-qi could activate it.
Lucky for them, Ryan’s yang-qi was just right for the job.
And with dual cultivation in full swing, both their powers started skyrocketing. Ryan shot straight up to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, but with all that built-up inner fire and the massive stash of Earth Immortal and Void Immortal aura inside him, he needed to vent—and this was the perfect way to burn it off.
All that power didn’t just work on Ryan—it hit him like a truck, pushing his strength up to Human Immortal great-perfection in a flash. But for Joanna Long, it was a massive boost too. Her cultivation shot straight from True Immortal great-perfection all the way up to the Earth Immortal Realm!
Boom! With one thunderous crash, the Long Family gained another Earth Immortal!
Right now, the Xiao Family and Ouyang Family were going nuts attacking the Long Family. Their whole advantage was having way more Earth Immortals. The Longs, inside and out, only had seven or eight—no way they could match the enemy. But Joanna Long’s instant breakthrough to Earth Immortal? Total game-changer for the clan’s defense!
"I thought that girl would get the short end of the stick, but she actually came out ahead—Long Family just scored another Earth Immortal!" Leon Long could feel Joanna’s breakthrough and couldn’t help but grin. Right now, every extra Earth Immortal meant another shot at survival.
With the initiative and control over the defensive formations, this one Earth Immortal was basically worth two of the attackers outside!
"Thank you!" Joanna Long blushed, feeling her power surge and shyly expressing her gratitude.
"I should be thanking you!" Ryan blinked, realizing his own power had leveled up too—he was basically about to touch the Void Immortal Realm barrier. If he broke through, he’d finally be able to square off against Earth Immortals. But what really got him hyped? Primeval Heavenwood had just sucked up five hundred drops of Immortal Water—the power was unreal!
"Alright, I’ve passed you the whole detox method—go save Celia Xiao, and I’ll go help my dad. The Long Family’s still in deep trouble!" Joanna finished speaking and rushed out.
Ryan didn’t hesitate—he spun around and headed straight for Celia Xiao. Saving her was the top priority; only after she was safe could he focus on fighting the enemies outside.
Plus, Ryan knew that after dual cultivating with Joanna Long, he’d hit Human Immortal great-perfection. If he could dual cultivate with Celia Xiao too, he’d definitely break through to the Void Immortal Realm—and she’d get her power back as well. That would mean two more heavy-hitters for the Long Family, and maybe a real shot at busting out of this siege!
No hesitation—Ryan dashed straight to Celia Xiao’s residence. Even though Joanna Long was now an Earth Immortal and the Long Family had gained a powerhouse, they still couldn’t hold off the combined siege from the Xiao and Ouyang Families!
Ryan had to save Celia Xiao ASAP!
That was the only way to have a shot at winning!
"Celia!" Ryan arrived at her place in no time.
"Didn’t I tell you? I’m not dual cultivating with you!" Celia Xiao shouted as soon as she saw Ryan come back.
"Cut the chatter—I’m here to detox you. Get over here!" Ryan wasn’t about to waste words. He grabbed Celia Xiao with a suction palm and pulled her right into his arms.
"What are you doing? Let—let go of me!" Celia Xiao clearly still didn’t want to face Ryan. As he tried to hold her, she instantly covered her face.
"Quit hiding! No matter what, you’re my wife!" Ryan didn’t bother arguing—he just started ripping Celia Xiao’s clothes off!
"Ryan, what the hell are you doing? I—I don’t want this!" Celia Xiao thought he was about to go too far and started yelling. She was super stubborn—if she didn’t want something, nobody could force her.
"Doesn’t matter if you want to or not!" Ryan didn’t hesitate, pouring a surge of detox power straight into Celia Xiao’s body. The detox needed skin-to-skin contact, but her body was so old and decayed—no trace of youth left. That’s why she resisted so hard.
Seeing her own withered body exposed next to Ryan, Celia Xiao’s tears started flowing instantly.
"Don’t cry. I told you—no matter what you become, you’re always my wife. You’ve helped me so much; I’ll never abandon you!" Ryan said, hugging Celia Xiao even tighter.
"R—really?" Hearing Ryan’s words, Celia Xiao froze, her heart warming up.
"Alright, regulate your breathing. I’ll help you detox slowly—trust me, you’ll be beautiful again in no time!" Ryan said, sending an even fiercer wave of detox power into her.
"Mm!" Encouraged by Ryan, Celia Xiao finally found her confidence and stopped resisting, collapsing completely into his arms. In that instant, a miracle happened!
Celia Xiao’s wrinkled skin gradually smoothed out, her aged face slowly regained its youthful look, and the toxins in her body were expelled. She felt as refreshed as a cicada shedding its shell.
"My face!"
"My body!"
"Oh my god!"
Seeing the changes in her body, Celia Xiao instantly felt relaxed and overjoyed.
Now that Celia Xiao had her beauty back, she wouldn’t let Ryan push her away even if he tried!
"Alright, it’s all over—you’re back to your old self!" Ryan said, taking a deep breath.
"Over? Not even close!" Celia Xiao grinned mischievously and hugged Ryan even tighter.
"What are you planning?" Ryan smiled, teasing her.
"What do you think, hubby? Haven’t you wanted to ‘eat’ me for ages? You think I don’t know? Well, tonight I’ll let you have your way!" Celia Xiao said, lying down in front of Ryan.
Ryan couldn’t hold back anymore—he pounced like a starving wolf!
Dual cultivating with Celia Xiao was his biggest dream—after all, she was the strongest and the most beautiful. Ryan was totally obsessed!
The whole room around Celia Xiao instantly erupted with her wild screams!
Ryan felt completely satisfied, and Celia Xiao’s youthful energy exploded. Her strength started recovering—dual cultivation with Ryan was a massive win for her. After all, he had all that Void Immortal, True Immortal, and even Earth Immortal aura inside him; for the weakened Celia Xiao, it was the ultimate tonic!
"Break through!" In her blissed-out state, Celia Xiao’s power skyrocketed. She’d been beaten down to early True Immortal by the Xiao Family, but now her cultivation surged back to True Immortal great-perfection. And that was just the start—at that very moment, she gritted her teeth and went straight for Earth Immortal!
Earth Immortal was the realm she’d always aimed for. With Ryan’s dual-cultivation power, Celia Xiao went all out, shouting for revenge. A surge of Earth Immortal energy crashed down—she was reborn, breaking through to Earth Immortal!
"Earth Immortal!" Celia Xiao was totally shocked—she never thought she’d reach this realm. She clung to Ryan, screaming with joy. It felt absolutely incredible…
