Martial Master

Qin Chen put away his storage ring, and with a wave of his hand, the skeletal captain stood respectfully to the side.

“Qianxue, it's alright now.” Qin Chen turned around, smiling at You Qianxue.

You Qianxue was stunned, staring blankly at the devastated valley, feeling both shocked and happy inside.

After a year apart, Qin Chen's cultivation had become even stronger, and even the late-stage Martial Emperor was no match for him.

Moreover, You Qianxue recognized the skeletal captain; back when they were in the Secret Realm of the Demon Tribe, the skeletal captain was only at the half-step Martial Emperor level.

Now, just over a year later, the skeletal captain had become even stronger than the former middle-aged elder of the Eagle Clan, You Qianxue's heart swelled with pride and arrogance.

She looked at Qin Chen, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

This was the man she admired; no matter the danger or threat, as long as Qin Chen was there, it felt as if nothing was unsolvable.

From the Five Nations to the Great Wei Dynasty, and now to the Martial Domain, You Qianxue had watched Qin Chen emerge like a legendary hero, cutting through chaos and forging his own path.

After cleaning up the area casually, Qin Chen, to avoid being seen by others, quickly departed from the location.

The two flew through the air, engaged in conversation.

Along the way, Qin Chen gently held You Qianxue's hand, causing her fair cheeks to flush red, even the nape of her neck turning pink, a subtle glow radiating from her snowy white neck.

This was the first time Qin Chen had taken the initiative to hold her hand; her heart raced, and her palms even began to sweat. She lowered her head, too shy to look at Qin Chen.

She didn't understand why she felt this way. Although this was something she had longed for, when it actually happened, You Qianxue couldn't help but feel nervous.

If the others in the Law Enforcement Hall saw You Qianxue's current expression, they would certainly be shocked.

Was this still the ice goddess they revered, like a fairy?

Although You Qianxue had not been in the Law Enforcement Hall for long, she had been with Ji Ruyue and had gained the favor of Ji Hongchen, who took her as a disciple and provided her with the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Sacred Pool, awakening her Ice and Snow Divine Body.

Despite coming from the lower four domains, her icy goddess-like temperament had attracted countless talents from the Law Enforcement Hall.

However, You Qianxue was extremely aloof towards everyone, rarely appearing in the Law Enforcement Hall, spending her days in closed-door cultivation, like an ice mountain beauty, becoming the object of secret admiration for many talents in the Law Enforcement Hall.

But now, the object of their affection was being held by another man in such a delicate manner, and if they witnessed this scene, they would certainly be heartbroken.

“Chen Shao, how did you come to the Martial Domain?” You Qianxue asked softly, still looking down.

Qin Chen recounted his participation in the Alchemy Pavilion's Four-Domain Competition. When You Qianxue learned of everything Qin Chen had experienced, she felt heartache mixed with immense pride.

You Qianxue then shared her experiences since their separation, and Qin Chen learned that after entering the Heavenly Sacred Pool for cultivation, her astonishing talent had won her great admiration from the people of Piao Miao Palace.

After the trial in the Heavenly Sacred Pool, the people from Piao Miao Palace even asked if Qianxue would be willing to join them. However, You Qianxue had remained with Ji Ruyue, and the two had become excellent friends; she didn't want to part from her, so she only said she would consider it and did not agree outright.

As for her time in the Law Enforcement Hall, she spent every day in closed-door cultivation and didn't have much else going on.

Of course, many talents from the Law Enforcement Hall pursued her, but although she came from the lower four domains, no one dared to act too recklessly due to her relationship with Ji Ruyue. The strict discipline of the Law Enforcement Hall kept things in check.
