Morning mist curled around the peaks of Moonwind Sect as cultivators began their routines in silence and discipline.
And then there was Xiao Tian, standing shirtless outside the Ice Petal Pavilion, arms stretched, grinning like an idiot.
"Time for my romantic—I mean, cultivation training," he said to himself in the mirror-polished water of a lotus pond.

Ice Petal Pavilion – Round Two
Inside, Lin Ziyao was already waiting. Today, her robe was a shimmering silver-blue, and her snow-white hair fell gracefully to her waist. Her mismatched ice-blue and red eyes remained as calm and cold as ever—though this time, there was a flicker of curiosity.
"You came back?" she asked.
Xiao Tian gave her a wink. "Of course. You promised to train me. And I'm allergic to broken promises."
She didn't reply. Only let out a soft, icy sigh.
"Start with balance stance. Hold this pose for two hours."
Xiao Tian awkwardly lifted one leg, arms stretched out like a crane. Five minutes in—
CRACK!
He crashed to the ground.

The Arrival of a Lightning Goddess
Suddenly, a deafening BOOM echoed across the mountains. The sky flashed purple, and the air crackled with energy. Disciples gathered near the cliff's edge, whispering.
"That's the Thunder Vein Art!"
"Who's crazy enough to train that here?!"
From the smoke and crackling lightning emerged a fierce figure, standing alone in a broken crater.
Enter: Yu Xuelan.
> [Wife #2 – Name: Yu Xuelan]
Title: Thunderstorm Princess
Cultivation: Late Core Formation Realm
Appearance: Long, electric-purple hair tied in a messy braid. Fierce golden eyes glowing with sparks. Smooth, tanned skin from lightning refinement. A sleek black-and-purple robe with high slits showing off her long, powerful legs and toned arms.
Personality: Fiery, proud, aggressive, and known to knock out any man who flirts with her.
Xiao Tian squinted through the haze. "Is that a goddess... or just my type?"
One disciple whispered in fear, "That's Yu Xuelan. No one dares speak to her unless they want to be electrocuted."
Naturally, Xiao Tian walked right up to her.
"Hi. I'm Xiao Tian. Future number one cultivator. Also part-time heart-thief."
She turned her head slowly, golden eyes glowing like stormfire. Lightning crackled between her fingertips.
"Touch me and I'll slap you to the next continent."
Xiao Tian grinned. "Perfect. As long as it's with those pretty hands."
CRACK—ZAP!
Her slap landed like a thunderstrike. Xiao Tian flew thirty feet and bounced off a pine tree before faceplanting in the mud.

Later… in the Recovery Hall
Xiao Tian lay bandaged on a jade bed. A soft wind blew through the window. Mei'er walked in with tea.
"You survived again?" she asked in disbelief.
Xiao Tian gave a thumbs-up with one barely moving hand. "Her slap... had thunder… but also affection."
Lin Ziyao, sipping silently in the corner, gave an almost invisible frown.
