Chapter 1004: Terrifying Flight of Stairs

That night, Lin Pheng was in his room, practicing cultivation.

"boom boom!"

A sound interrupted his focus. Someone opened the room abruptly. Lin Pheng opened his eyes and smiled wryly.

"What? Am I not welcome here?" said Qiu Yue Xin smiling gently.

"Of course you are." Qiu Yue Xin entered the room. Lin Pheng's heart started pounding as he smiled, "I just wouldn't have thought you'd come in the middle of the night. Did you miss me that much?"

"I was alone in my room, since you didn't come, I came." said Qiu Yue Xin smiling while getting closer to Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng felt like he was melting when he looked at her smile. Was she joking again?

"If you had told me to earlier, I would have come." said Lin Pheng touching her face. Qiu Yue Xin didn't reject him. She smiled at him and whispered, "Do you enjoy it?"

"Yes, very much so." said Lin Pheng nodding.

"I want to please you." said Qiu Yue Xin. Suddenly, her smile disappeared and the room became ice-cold. Lin Pheng seemed surprised.

However, he had anticipated her attack again. He immediately released blood strength, otherwise, she could injure him with that strength.

"boom boom boom!" It seemed like there was a war in that room. It started shaking and it completely collapsed.

When they stopped, Lin Pheng was out of breath. His clothes were torn and Qiu Yue Xin's punches had left bruises on his skin. He lost again.

"If you can't even defeat me, how could you confront my clan?" said Qiu Yue Xin coldly. Then, she turned around and said, "Follow me."

"Where are we going?" shouted Lin Pheng.

"Tiantai, we need to to become imperial cultivation disciples!" said Qiu Yue Xin without turning around. Lin Pheng just followed with a wry smile.

Qiong Qi was still lying outside of the cabin. Lin Pheng was pissed off that Qiong Qi was peeking on them.

"You bastard!" said Lin Pheng coldly. Then, he followed Qiu Yue Xin.

After the two left. Qiu Yue Xin looked at Qiu Yue Xin from behind looking rather pensive.

"That girl fell in love with Lin Pheng so fast, could it be." whispered Qiong Qi. Qiong Qi didn't think about it much longer. He couldn't be sure. He was wondering if it was a very good or a very bad thing for Lin Pheng.

Qiu Yue Xin and Lin Pheng arrived at the bottom of the flight of stairs. It was the middle of the night and the moon was shining on the flight of stairs.

"We still have a dozen days to go to get up those 18, 000 steps. We need to train. If we're trained, we won't have to worry about my clan. We have to become imperial cultivation disciples, we MUST!" said Qiu Yue Xin looking at the moon.

Lin Pheng looked at her but said nothing. Qiu Yue Xin didn't like that, she looked at him and said, "Did you hear what I said?"

"I have to become an imperial cultivation disciple so that I can marry you without your clan opposing our union, right?" said Lin Pheng smiling before adding, "It seems like you really decided to marry me."

Qiu Yue Xin looked at him and smiled in a mischievous way, "We hugged and kissed already, don't you want to push things further?"

"Of course I do. I am a responsible person." said Lin Pheng when he saw that Qiu Yue Xin looked scared.

"Well, let's go up then." said Qiu Yue Xin still smiling.

Lin Pheng didn't say much. He immediately started going up the stairs.

Even though it was the middle of the night, Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin weren't the only ones running up.

Qiu Yue Xin and Lin Pheng were very fast, as fast as the wind. They soon climbed three thousand steps and the pressure was already monstrous.

"You're too slow. Keep up with me." said Qiu Yue Xin while turning around and smiling at Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng nodded and calmly followed. Despite the oppressive energies, Lin Pheng's speed didn't change.

After a while, Lin Pheng and Qiu Yue Xin arrived on the ten thousandth step. The energy was incredibly oppressive, they could barely breathe. It was as if they were carrying mountains on their backs.

"You alright?" asked Qiu Yue Xin to Lin Pheng.

"Ten thousand steps, that's nothing. Of course I'm alright." said Lin Pheng smiling. He had wrapped himself up in wind intent, of course he was alright! He just paused for a few seconds to take a breath. Then, he started flying up the stairs again.

Qiu Yue Xin followed him. Very quickly, they reached the thirteen-thousandth step. Lin Pheng didn't stop this time and directly climbed up to the fifteen thousandth step.

Qiu Yue Xin's eyes were twinkling. She kept looking at Lin Pheng's back. She was already getting out of breath and was sweating profusely. She needed to stop for a few seconds to breathe, but Lin Pheng didn't stop.

"How can he stand the pressure? Is his blood made of iron or what?" whispered Qiu Yue Xin. Lin Pheng hadn't stopped at all, not only did he rely on his strength, but also on his blood strength. If a cultivator had a weak blood, they could explode under this pressure.

When Qiu Yue Xin reached the sixteenth-thousandth step, she couldn't stand it anymore and finally stopped. She looked at Lin Pheng who hadn't stopped and shouted, out of breathe, "Lin Pheng, wait for me!"

She sounded fragile and innocent. Lin Pheng turned around and looked at her smiling. The cold-hearted and solitary girl looked completely exhausted.

"Who told you to go up so fast!" said Qiu Yue Xin. Lin Pheng remained speechless. She had told him to hurry up a few times.

"Let's breathe deeply. We have two thousand more steps to climb after all." said Qiu Yue Xin. After a few minutes. Her eyes started twinkling again and she said, "Let's continue!"

"Alright." Lin Pheng nodded and they continued climbing the stairs. The oppressive force was becoming unbearable. The strength everyone differently. The stronger a cultivator was, the more oppressive the force was. Therefore, the force oppressing Qiu Yue Xin was more intense than the force oppressing Lin Pheng.

After an hour, they reached the seventeenth-thousandth step. A terrifying force was oppressing them. Qiu Yue Xin stopped again and looked at Lin Pheng, "You bastard, how come your blood is so strong!"

"I never said my blood was weak." said Lin Pheng.

"You." Qiu Yue Xin smiled again and said, "We reached the seventeen thousandth step. I overestimated the difficulty of the stairs, we will soon reach Tiantai."

The two of them continued climbing the stairs. The oppressive forces were incredibly intense by this point. It felt like their blood was going to explode under that pressure.

"We're almost there." said Lin Pheng raising his head. 17, 900 steps! A hundred more to go.

"Pfeww." Qiu Yue Xin could barely breathe, she smiled and said, "Right, almost! One hundred more. We can do it!"

Then, she condensed pure Qi and walked up 18 more steps, 82 more!

"boom!" she made another step and turned all red. But she smiled and said, "Lin Pheng, 81 more steps!"

She looked excited, only 81 more steps.

"boom boom!" The oppressive force felt like a mountain had suddenly fallen onto her, her body was propelled backwards and blood splashed out of her mouth.
