《An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad》 Chapter 1 - Quietly Conquering the Male Leads Mother! Chapter 1 - Quietly Conquering the Male Lead''s Mother! Chapter 1 ¡ª Quietly Conquering the Male Lead¡¯s Mother! ¡°Auntie, is the yin poison in your body better? Does it still re up every night?¡± In a residence, Yang Chen asked with concern. Sitting beside him was a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance, looking to be around thirty years old, with dark hair tied into a bun behind her head, dressed in a simple homely dress, exuding the charm of a married young woman. ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯m much better now! Thank you so much foring every day to help me dispel the yin poison!¡± The woman said softly, her beautiful face full of gratitude. ¡°Auntie, this is what I should do! Lin Yan and I are fellow disciples, so as a senior brother, taking care of his mother is only natural! Also, I actually ¡­ sigh!¡± Yang Chen didn¡¯t continue, wearing a look like he wanted to say more, but couldn¡¯t. The beautiful woman¡¯s cheeks also saw a touch a redness at his words. After a month of being together, she too understood Yang Chen¡¯s intentions, moreover, she too ¡­ After thinking about it, the beautiful woman said softly: ¡°Xiao Chen, don¡¯t call me Auntie anymore!¡± ¡°Huh? Why? Did I do something to upset you, Auntie?¡± Yang Chen hurriedly asked, looking flustered. ¡°No, no!¡± The beautiful woman looked a bit shy, ¡°You¡¯ve been taking care of me so much this past month,ing every day to dispel my yin poison for me, I¡¯m very grateful to you! However, although you are Yan¡¯s senior brother, you are only three years younger than me. Calling me Auntie seems a bit inappropriate!¡± ¡°Then what should I call you?¡± Yang Chen asked nervously. ¡°What should you call me? I, I don¡¯t know!¡± The beautiful woman couldn¡¯t even look Yang Chen in the eye. She just said coyly, ¡°My name is Lin Xn, you, just call me whatever you think!¡± ¡°Then in the future, I¡¯ll call you Sister Lan!¡± ¡°Auntie, what do you think?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still calling me auntie!?¡± The beautiful woman immediately chided, rolling her eyes at him. Exquisite and beautiful, stunningly charming. Yang Chen quickly smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault, my fault, Sister Lan!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Xn lightly responded. Then she said, ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯ll go prepare some food for you! I bought your favorite mushrooms today, and beef too!¡± ¡°Alright! I love eating the food Sister Lan makes, it¡¯s so delicious!¡± ¡°You little glutton!¡± Lin Xn chuckled lightly, then got up. ¡°You sit for a while; I¡¯ll be done soon. I¡¯ll call you then!¡± Saying that, Lin Xn lightly moved her lotus steps and walked out. Even the simple skirt, couldn¡¯t hide her graceful figure. In the living room, Yang Chen watched her back, a smile gradually appearing on his lips. Hehe. It looks like their rtionship had taken another step forward! His efforts over the month were not in vain! A month ago, Yang Chen transmigrated. Moreover, he was transmigrated into a novel he had read before. And he was the viinous Holy Son of that novel. His fianc¨¦e, Shen Xueyan, was the first female lead in the book. Before he took over, Yang Cheng, had always been obsessed with his fianc¨¦e, Shen Xueyan; however, Shen Xueyan only treated him as apdog and didn¡¯t really like him. Instead, she had her eyes set on an ordinary inner disciple, Lin Yan. Such a thing might be hard to understand in reality, but in this novel, that¡¯s how the characters were positioned. Yang Chen, who understood the original work, knew that women like Shen Xueyan, the more you actively pursued them, the more they would look down on you. It¡¯s like the saying: familiarity breeds contempt, while distance breeds fondness! So, Yang Chen simply stopped trying. Knowing the plot of the book, he knew that Lin Yan¡¯s mother was a very influential woman, and she was very important to Lin Yan. So, Yang Chen took the initiative toe here to help Lin Yan¡¯s mother dispel the cold poison in her body. Since Lin Yan liked to please his fianc¨¦e. Then, he would please Lin Yan¡¯s mother. Now, after a month of quietly pursuing her, Lin Yan¡¯s mother, Lin Xn, was clearly treating him differently. She took the initiative to change the way he addressed her from ¡°Auntie¡± to ¡°Sister Lan.¡± This indicated a lot of things. Moreover, the bashful look in her eyes just now. Heh. It was just a matter of time before he breached the final barrier with her. Thinking of this, Lin Xn came in with two tes. ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯m done, try it!¡± She ced the two tes on the table, and the fragrant smell wafted over, whetting one¡¯s appetite. One te of fried mushrooms, one te of stir-fried beef. ¡°Sister Lan, this tastes amazing! If I can¡¯t eat the food you make in the future, I¡¯ll definitely feel like dying!¡± As the Holy Son of an immortal sect, Yang Chen had eaten all kinds of delicacies. But Lin Xn was very pleased to hear that. She scolded Yang Chen: ¡°If you want to eat, Sister will make it for you every day from now on!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Yang Chen happily dug in. While eating, he took out a jar of wine from his storage ring. ¡°Sister Lan, how about we have some wine? Good food goes with good wine, and, a beautiful woman, hehe!¡± ¡°Hateful, what nonsense are you talking about!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks turned red, giving Yang Chen a re. But she didn¡¯t refuse. Instead, she got up and took two cups. The aroma of the wine suffused the air. ¡°Sister Lan, this is the spirit wine brewed by the Xuantian Sect. If you drink it, it can strengthen your body and also inhibit the residual yin poison in your body and dispel it!¡± Yang Chen poured her a full cup. Lin Xn only took two sips, but her fair cheeks blushed. ¡°Xiao Chen, this wine is too strong! I won¡¯t drink anymore! I¡¯ll get drunk if I drink more!¡± Yang Chen didn¡¯t urge her to drink. To pursue Lin Xn, he naturally wouldn¡¯t just use the method of getting her drunk. What he wanted was Lin Xn¡¯s willingness. Wine was just a pretext. After all, he really wanted to be the father of the male lead. In the future, when Lin Yan wanted to kill him, he would still rely on Lin Xn to protect him. After finishing their meal, it started to rain heavily outside. ¡°Xiao Chen, why don¡¯t you stay tonight? It¡¯s raining so heavily!¡± As the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation had long since reached the peak of Foundation Building realm. Not to mention rain, even if it was pouring knives, it wouldn¡¯t affect him. But Lin Xn had finally mustered the courage to ask him to stay overnight. How could he not seize this opportunity? Chapter 2 - Lin Xilan is Pregnant! Chapter 2 - Lin Xn is Pregnant! Chapter 2 ¡ª Lin Xn is Pregnant! ¡°Sister Lan, I hope this doesn¡¯t trouble you!¡± Yang Chen said, feeling embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll tidy up the room for you!¡± Lin Xn replied. Seeing the passionate gaze in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes, Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks flushed again. Coupled with the mature charm she exuded; it was truly intoxicating. If it were someone else, they would have already lost control. However, Yang Chen could restrain himself. This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xn had started liking him. She hadn¡¯t sensed anyscivious intentions or desires from him; instead, it was more of an emotional expression. In the room, Lin Xn bent down to tidy up the bedding. She wore a simple white dress that couldn¡¯t hide her proud figure. Below her waist, her curves were like a crescent moon, full and round. To be honest, Lin Xn was very beautiful. She had no cultivation, and was a mortal. Butpared to the fairies of the Xuantian Sect who had been nurtured by spiritual energy, she was much more beautiful. With her feminine charm, she was even more enchanting. After spending a month together, Yang Chen could control himself and pace himself. Not to boast, but his willpower was not something an ordinary person couldpare to. ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯ve tidied it up for you, don¡¯t mind the mess!¡± Lin Xn said as she turned around. She happened to meet Yang Chen¡¯s fiery gaze at her back. ¡°Ah! Xiao Chen, you rascal, where are you looking?¡± Lin Xn yfully scolded, unable to resist raising her soft fist and lightly hitting Yang Chen¡¯s chest. He wasn¡¯t hurt at all. ¡°Sister Lan, I ¡­¡± Yang Chen tried to exin, but then he suddenly remembered that Lin Xn had just said this was Lin Yan¡¯s room. That meant this bed must be Lin Yan¡¯s. If Lin Yan came home, he must sleep in this bed. Then if he slept in this bed ¡­ Yang Chen didn¡¯t dare to think further. He was afraid of transforming into a beast. ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯ve made the bed for you! I¡­ I¡¯ll go wash the dishes, you ¡­ you can rest!¡± Feeling Yang Chen¡¯s warm breath, Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks flushed again. She didn¡¯t dare to stay in this room any longer. She was worried. ¡°Ah!¡± Perhaps in a panic, or perhaps because Yang Chen deliberately leaned his body to one side, Lin Xn bumped into his shoulder. This bump was like thunder and fire alling together, instantly igniting a wild fire. While the spring rain poured outside, the inside too emanated an air of the same. ¡­ The next morning, Yang Chen woke up leisurely. Last night, he and Lin Xn had a little drink. Then, with their bodies touching, they had a more intimate contact. Looking to the side, he no longer saw Lin Xn. He could hear the sound of cooking from outside. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile. After a month of getting along day and night, he and Lin Xn had finally reached this point. Moreover,st night, Lin Xn didn¡¯t resist and was very enthusiastic. This indicated that she waspletely willing. Their rtionship had naturally progressed to this stage. Yang Chen quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room to the kitchen. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Xn eximed softly. Just as she made eye contact with Yang Chen, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks. She was so charming and radiant that these were the only words to describe her at the moment. ¡°Xiao, Xiao Chen, you¡¯re awake! I, I¡¯ve made porridge for you; it¡¯ll be ready soon!¡± Lin Xn said shyly, busy with the soupdle, not daring to look up at Yang Chen. Just thinking aboutst night made her too embarrassed. If only she hadn¡¯t had that drink. ¡°Sister Lan!¡± Yang Chen walked up behind her and directly embraced her in his arms. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Xn let out a soft cry, but she didn¡¯t resist. She just said, ¡°The porridge will be ready soon!¡± ¡°It smells so good!¡± Yang Chen buried his head in her dark, lustrous hair. ¡°I, I made some meat porridge for you, of course it¡¯s fragrant!¡± ¡°Sister Lan, what I meant was not the fragrance of the porridge, but your fragrance! No matter how fragrant the porridge is, it can¡¯tpare to you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re annoying!¡± Lin Xn said coquettishly, but her body softened in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. ¡­ After a month passed, Lin Xn joyfully told Yang Chen, ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m pregnant!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s way of addressing Yang Chen had changed from ¡°Xiao Chen¡± to ¡°Brother Chen¡± because adding ¡°ge¡± (¸ç, older brother) to ¡°Chen¡± (³½, Chen) didn¡¯t fit well with his fierce appearance at night. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yang Chen, who had stopped cultivating, asked puzzledly. ¡°Hateful, what do you mean, ¡®what¡¯s up?¡¯¡± Lin Xn pouted and yfully hit him on the shoulder before nestling into his embrace. After a month of intimacy, Lin Xn was no longer as shy as she was at the beginning. Holding Yang Chen¡¯s hand, she ced it on her abdomen. ¡°Silly, I¡¯m pregnant with your child!¡± Lin Xn said, her face flushed with a hint of blush. She had be pregnant after just one month of being together, but this was somewhat expected. After all, although Brother Chen appeared gentle on the outside, his heart was quite wicked, tormenting her untilte into the night. Moreover, he had broadened her horizons with some strange positions. Once, Brother Chen had taken her flying on his sword, and the result was, while flying on the sword, they were also ¡­ Well, thinking about it was embarrassing. But despite the embarrassment, it was also sweet. Now, she was pregnant with Brother Chen¡¯s child, the fruit of their love. ¡°Pregnant!?¡± Yang Chen was surprised. Although he had been ying the role of a bull, and had been ploughing the field for a while, he hadn¡¯t expected crops to grow so quickly. Sigh.Lin Yan was going to have a younger brother. He just didn¡¯t know what the future would hold in terms of their rtionship. Sigh. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Chen? Don¡¯t you like this child?¡± Seeing Yang Chen¡¯s strange expression, Lin Xn¡¯s heart clenched. She had devoted all her body and soul to Yang Chen now. If Yang Chen rejected her pregnancy, she really didn¡¯t want to live. ¡°No! How could I not like this child!? The childes from you, of course I would also like this child! Don¡¯t you know ¡®love the house and its crow¡¯? Yang Chen said, his mouth curved as if coated with honey. ¡°You! Then why did you have such an expression!¡± Lin Xn immediately gave him a re. ¡°I was just thinking, what if Lin Yan knew about this? What should we do? After all, we are senior and junior martial siblings, but my child would be his younger brother or sister! The title would be a bit difficulte to terms with!¡± ¡°Ah!?¡± Lin Xn was also dumbfounded, her eyebrows furrowing involuntarily. During this period, she had been immersed in her love with Yang Chen and had forgotten that Yang Chen was her son¡¯s senior martial sibling. Now, she was pregnant with Yang Chen¡¯s child. The way this child would address Lin Yan in the future was indeed a bit tricky. Lin Xn frowned and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Brother Chen, this isn¡¯t difficult at all!¡± ¡°Not difficult?¡± Yang Chen looked at her. Lin Xn continued, ¡°This child will just call Lin Yan ge (brother), in the future!¡± ¡°After all, Lin Yan is also my child, so it¡¯s better for this child to use my side¡¯s form of address!¡± ¡°Makes sense!¡± Yang Chen nodded. Then he said, ¡°Then I and Lin Yan should use separateaddress as well!I¡¯ll call himJunior Brother, and he¡¯ll call me ¡®dad¡¯!¡± ¡°You¡¯re annoying!¡± Lin Xn immediately pouted. Chapter 3 - Lets Call Him Yang Chi! Chapter 3 - Let''s Call Him Yang Chi! Chapter 3 ¡ª Let¡¯s Call Him Yang Chi! Happy times are always short-lived. After a month of ploughing the field, Lin Xn had conceived a child. However, after conceiving, Yang Chen was made to abstain. Especially after her belly grew, he wasn¡¯t allowed to touch her at all. Ten months of pregnancy passed by quickly. In the room, a loud cry rang out. Then, the midwife shouted, ¡°Master Yang, it¡¯s a son! Congrattions!¡± Yang Chen quickly walked into the room. The maid brought the child to him. ¡°Master, look, the young master is so adorable!¡± Having the experience of living on Earth in past life, Yang Chen deeply understood that at this moment, the most important thing was not to see the child, but the child¡¯s mother. Yang Chen walked straight to the bed and affectionately held Lin Xn¡¯s soft and tender hand. ¡°My wife, you¡¯ve worked hard!¡± Feeling the warmth and care in Yang Chen¡¯s palm, Lin Xn felt her eyes moisten. She was deeply moved by Yang Chen¡¯s actions. ¡°Husband! To be able to give birth to a son for you, Xn feels so happy!¡± Yang Chen hugged Lin Xn. The midwife and the maid were both stunned. In this world, which man didn¡¯t immediately hug his son upon entering the birthing chamber? But he, the master, didn¡¯t even look at his son, he just went straight to hug his wife. Ah. The love between the master and his wife ran so deep! The little maid at the side had her eyes filled with of envy. If her future husband could love her half as much as the master loved his wife, she would be willing to die right away. ¡°Husband!¡± Lin Xn pushed against Yang Chen¡¯s chest. During this time, because she had hired a maid, Lin Xn¡¯s form of address towards Yang Chen had also be more formal. From calling him Brother Chen to calling him Husband. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, wife?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°You, as a father, haven¡¯t even gone to see our son yet!¡± Lin Xn pouted. Her husband really loved her too much. He hugged her as soon as he came in, without even going to see their son. s, although she was happy in her heart. But she couldn¡¯t hoard her husband¡¯s affection, and keep it all to herself. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go see him now!¡± Yang Chen said as he got up and took the child from the maid¡¯s hands. Looking at the adorable little guy, Yang Chen also felt some emotion in his heart. He now had a son. He was now a father. Lin Yan, your junior brother, my son, but also your real brother. Even if you find out about all this in the future, for the sake of your mother and your brother, you can¡¯t kill me, right? After all, I¡¯m your brother¡¯s real father. You wouldn¡¯t want your brother to end up like you, without a father, right? But just then. A mechanical voice sounded in Yang Chen¡¯s mind. [Ding! Host¡¯s son is born, plundering the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, of 3,000 points of Providence Luck, rewarding the host with 3,000 points of Viinous Points!] [The Great Viin System is officially activated!] ¡°Hmm?¡± Yang Chen was stunned. System? After his transmigration, he had also hoped for a System. But there was no sign of a System for a long time, so he had given up. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have tried to conquer the male lead¡¯s mother to save his life. But now. After his wife gave birth to his son, the system was activated. This system, was a bit untimely. After all, he now was Lin Yan¡¯s stepfather. Wasn¡¯t the system asking him to deal with his stepson! ¡°System, tell me your function!¡± Yang Chen thought in his heart. [Host, first let me exin this world to you. This world is formed by the integration of many fantasy novels, with multiple protagonists that have the fates of the Sons of Destiny!] [The Sons of Destiny are blessed with great providence luck. You only need to plunder the luck from them, and you can get Viinous Points as a reward!] [Viinous Points can be used to exchange for techniques, magical powers, treasures, talents, and cultivation, etc.!] [Currently, the mother of the Son of Destiny, Lin Xn, has given birth to a son for the host. This child is the younger brother of the Son of Destiny, automatically plundering 3,000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny!] With the system¡¯s exnation, Yang Chen gradually understood. He had read countless novels of this type online. It was still that kind of system. It¡¯s just that this time, he got the rewardpletely because of his son. Because his son is Lin Yan¡¯s brother. So, as soon as he was born, he automatically plundered his brother¡¯s luck. Hehe. He really is my good son! Just born and has already earned me 3,000 points of Viinous Points. Hehe. If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll have to work harder in the future. Strive to give Lin Yan more younger siblings! ¡°Husband, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why do you have a smile like that, it¡¯s a little scary?¡± Noticing the strange smile on Yang Chen¡¯s face, Lin Xn hurriedly asked. Yang Chen came back to his senses and exined, ¡°Wife, I just thought of a few names that I found too funny, so I couldn¡¯t help but smile! Mydy, please forgive me for that!¡± ¡°Oh, so husband, you¡¯re thinking of a name for our child!¡± Lin Xn suddenly became interested. ¡°Husband, what do you think would be a good name for our son? We didn¡¯t know the gender before, so we couldn¡¯t pick a name yet. Now that we know it¡¯s a son, we should think about it more carefully!¡± Yang Chen held the child in one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other. The maid and the midwife beside them were full of envy as they looked at Lin Xn, then tactfully retreated. ¡°Husband, how about we name our son Yang Wu?¡± ¡°He was born at noon, and also, your name has a Chen character in it, so it¡¯s just right for our son to have a Wu character!¡± At these words, a smile curved up at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth. Then, he heavily patted her well-shaped rump below her waist, and gently rebuked, ¡°Nonsense, morning and noon are equal, how can our son be the same as his father? When we name our son, we shouldn¡¯t look at me, we should look at his brother! Lin Yan¡¯s name has a Yan character in it, so our son¡¯s name should be simr to his brother¡¯s. Well, let¡¯s name him Chi! Let¡¯s call him Yang Chi! When morninges, one¡¯s fiery and the other zes!¡±* *** TL notes: Wu (Îç): The character ¡°Wu¡± means ¡°noon¡± or ¡°midday¡± in Chinese. In this context, it¡¯s suggested as a name for the son because he was born at noon. Using a character rted to the time of birth is a traditional way to name children in Chinese culture. Chi (³ã): The character ¡°Chi¡± means ¡°burning¡± or ¡°zing.¡± It¡¯s chosen as a name because it is simr to the ¡°Yan¡± (Ñ×) character in Lin Yan¡¯s name. Naming the son with a character simr to his older brother¡¯s name is seen as harmonious and respectful of family traditions. Chen (³½) means ¡°morning¡± or ¡°early day,¡± which contrasts with the ¡°Wu¡± character for noon. *a poetic way of expressing their rtionship. Chapter 4 - Fifth Stage of the Golden Core Realm! Tonight, Ill indulge him! Chapter 4 - Fifth Stage of the Golden Core Realm! Tonight, I''ll indulge him! Chapter 4 ¡ª Fifth Stage of the Golden Core Realm! Tonight, I¡¯ll indulge him! Several days passed. At night, Lin Xn was nursing Yang Chi. Yang Chen returned to the cultivation room. ¡°System, I want to start exchanging!¡± [Host, you currently have a total of3000 VPs. What would you like to redeem in exchange for them?] ¡°I want to use them in exchange for my cultivation!¡± Of course, Yang Chen wanted to exchange for cultivation. After all, what hecked most now was cultivation. In fact, his strength was much stronger than Lin Yan¡¯s. After all, he was the hallowed viin, the Holy Son of an immortal sect! His cultivation had long reached the Tenth stage of Foundation Establishment realm, just one step away from the Golden Core Realm. While Lin Yan, on the other hand, was only at the first stage of Foundation Establishment realm a year ago. However, Lin Yan was also the Son of Destiny. Previously, Yang Chen had sent his subordinates several times to kill Lin Yan, but they were all killed by Lin Yan instead. In the novel, this kid was protected by the soul of a mysterious and powerful cultivator. With that mysterious soul, Lin Yan, despite being at the Foundation Establishment realm, could even kill those at the Golden Core Realm if he wanted to. Moreover, that mysterious soul had many means at its disposal. Even if someone above the Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul realm or even Soul Transformation realm, made a move, Lin Yan could escape. This was also the reason why Yang Chen, after being reborn, directly gave up on dealing with him. Because Yang Chen knew that continuing to deal with Lin Yan would only end him sending experience points his way. He might as well think of a way to save his life. So, he went ahead and seduced Lin Yan¡¯s mother. And he made Lin Xn give birth to a child. In his original n, he was going to let Lin Yan see his mother and brother, even if he didn¡¯t acknowledge him as his stepfather, he couldn¡¯t let his mother lose her husband and let his brother lose his father! But, after all, this was just his n. There were still considerable risks. Although he loved Lin Xn and had a child with her, there was still a possibility that Lin Yan might just kill him. So, he needed to improve his cultivation. [Host, do you wish to use all 3000 VPs in exchange for cultivation?] Um ¡­ Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, ¡°Use them all!¡± [Exchange initiated, consuming 3000 VPs!] [Exchange sessful, fusion initiated!] As the System spoke, Yang Chen was enveloped in golden light, and his aura began to rise steadily. Soon, he broke through the barrier that had been holding him back and directly reached the Golden Core realm. And the momentum didn¡¯t stop there. First stage of the Golden Core realm! Second stage of the Golden Core realm! Third stage of the Golden Core realm! Fourth stage of the Golden Core realm! Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm! Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation finally stopped at the Fifth stage of the Golden Core Realm. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that 3000 Viinous Points could help me break through so many realms! From the peak of Foundation Establishment realm to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm, even if I cultivate diligently, it would take decades at least! Truly worthy being a System!¡± Yang Chen was very satisfied with the exchange result. However, the consecutive breakthroughs caused quite a stir. Soon, Lin Xn knocked on the door. ¡°Husband, are you okay?¡± Yang Chen got up and opened the door. Lin Xn¡¯s eyes were filled with concern. ¡°Husband, a golden light shot out of the room just now, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, wife!¡± Yang Chen said as he embraced her. ¡°With a lovely wife at home and a son, my heart was so delighted that I broke through the realms and reached the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°Ah, husband has reached the Golden Core realm?¡± Lin Xn was taken by surprise. She was aware of Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation realm. Previously, he had been at the peak of the Foundation Building realm. However, although Lin Xn¡¯s eyes were excited, there was also a hint of mncholy in them. ¡°Wife, what¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you happy that your husband has broken through to the Golden Core realm?¡± Yang Chen asked immediately. ¡°No, no!¡± Lin Xn hurriedly said, but it was obviously insincere. ¡°Wife, if you have anything to say, you should tell husband, otherwise, we¡¯ll grow apart!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Lin Xn sighed and said, ¡°Husband, you used to be a Foundation Building cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred years, and I felt that I was not much different from you! But now, you have be a Golden Core realm cultivator with a lifespan of four to five hundred years. I suddenly feel that I¡¯m not good enough for you! By the time I grow old, you¡¯ll only have lived a fifth of your life!¡± Hearing this, Yang Chen directly embraced her. ¡°You¡¯re right, if you grow old or are gone, it wouldn¡¯t be fun for me to live alone!¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯re not allowed to think like that!¡± Lin Xn hurriedly covered his mouth. ¡°Even if I¡¯m gone, you have to live well! Our son still needs you to take care of him!¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± Yang Chen hugged her tightly andughed, ¡°So, you have to cultivate too!¡± ¡°Me cultivate?¡± Hearing this, Lin Xn¡¯s eyes dimmed. ¡°I want to cultivate too, but I don¡¯t have spiritual roots!¡± ¡°Not having spiritual roots is not a problem, husband, I¡¯ll find a solution!¡± ¡°You have a way?¡± Lin Xn had somewhat incredulous expression on her. She thought that Yang Chen was just trying to make her happy. ¡°Of course I have a way!¡± Yang Chen indeed had a way. However, it required having another child. After all, he had used up all his Viinous points. The System said it could exchange talents for VPs, so it meant it could also exchange spiritual roots for Lin Xn. Only by cultivating could she increase her lifespan. Yang Chen didn¡¯t want Lin Xn to grow old like an ordinary person. After all, he wanted to always be Lin Yan¡¯s father! And he wanted to have more children with Lin Xn. This way, he could plunder more of Lin Yan¡¯s providence luck. After all, the luck she brought couldn¡¯t be enjoyed by him alone! Lin Xn nestled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, not saying a word. She just enjoyed the broadness of his chest. However, feeling the warmth of Lin Xn¡¯s delicate body, Yang Chen felt something. Damn it. He was always so easily aroused by her. ¡°Wife, how long has it been since west performed our conjugal duties?¡± ¡°Ah!?¡± Lin Xn¡¯s red lips parted slightly, and a blush spread across her cheeks. Yang Chen¡¯s big hand began to roam her delicate body. Although she was shy, she did not resist. He had indeed been holding back for a long time. Tonight, let¡¯s indulge him. Chapter 5 - Lin Yans Heavenly Spirit Root, My Son Wont Be Inferior! Returning to the Sect! Chapter 5 - Lin Yan''s Heavenly Spirit Root, My Son Won''t Be Inferior! Returning to the Sect! Chapter 5 ¡ª Lin Yan¡¯s Heavenly Spirit Root, My Son Won¡¯t Be Inferior! Returning to the Sect! The next day, Yang Chen woke up at noon. After breaking through to the Golden Core realm, his endurance had increased significantly. So, he had slept verytest night. Lin Xn was nowhere to be seen by his side. It wasn¡¯t because Lin Xn had better physical fitness than Yang Chen, but because she had to get up to feed the baby. Thinking about it, Yang Chen felt quite sorry for his son. He was actuallypeting with him. Sigh. Guilty as charged. Son, don¡¯t me Daddy. Even if there isn¡¯t much left, it¡¯s still enough for you to eat. When Yang Chen walked out of the room, he saw Lin Xn who was already holding the little one in the yard. ¡°Chi¡¯er, Daddy¡¯s here! Look at Daddy!¡± Lin Xn walked to Yang Chen¡¯s side while holding the child. At this moment, she oozed maternal radiance,pletely different fromst night. ¡°Come, son!¡± Yang Chen took the little one. Suddenly, the baby started crying. ¡°Oh, you don¡¯t want Daddy to hold you?¡± Helpless, Yang Chen had to hand him back to Lin Xn. ¡°When this little one is three years old, we¡¯ll start testing his spiritual roots!¡± ¡°So early?¡± Lin Xn was surprised because ordinary tests for spiritual roots were usually done around the age of six. ¡°Mainly because I¡¯m somewhat looking forward to it! His elder brother Lin Yan possesses Heavenly Spirit Root, so I think my son¡¯s talent won¡¯t be inferior! We¡¯ll do a preliminary test by then!¡± Yang Chen was looking forward to it. After all, his son had directly plundered 3000 points of providence luck from his elder brother Lin Yan. His spiritual roots shouldn¡¯t be too bad. Even if he¡¯s not as good as Lin Yan, he should still have Earth Spirit Roots. Son, your spiritual roots must be good. Also, grow up quickly. Father is still waiting for you to protect him. If your elder brother wants to kill me, you must stand in front of me. Let your elder brother understand that you don¡¯t want to be fatherless like him. ¡­ So, Yang Chen stayed in this small courtyard for another half year. After half a year of hard work, Lin Xn¡¯s belly showed signs of movement again. ¡°Wife, let me listen!¡± ¡°So annoying, it¡¯s only been two months, what can you hear?¡± Lin Xn coquettishly scolded. But her hands gently pressed against Yang Chen¡¯s head, her face full of tenderness. ¡°Husband, how long will it take for youe back, when you go back to the sect this time?¡± Lin Xn¡¯s voice was full of reluctance. She really didn¡¯t want to leave her husband for a moment now. She wished she could fall asleep holding her husband every day. Yang Chen stood up and hugged her. ¡°I¡¯ll be back in at most half a month! By then, I¡¯ll take you and our son to live in the sect!¡± Lin Xn lowered her head. ¡°I, a mortal, going to an immortal sect, is it appropriate? You are the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, but you have me, a mortal, as your wife! I¡¯m worried that the elders of the Xuantian Sect won¡¯t allow it, and others willugh at you!¡± ¡°Who dares!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice suddenly became serious. ¡°Whoever dares to say that, I¡¯ll kill them!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, husband, as long as you don¡¯t mind, it¡¯s fine!¡± Lin Xn nestled her small head in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, showing a hint of cuteness and softness. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile. Damn it, am always so easily excited. ¡°Wife, I¡¯m leaving, don¡¯t you want to show me some ¡­ affection?¡± ¡°Show? Show what?¡± Lin Xn raised her head, her eyes somewhat puzzled. ¡°What do you think?¡± Yang Chen raised his eyebrows at her. After more than a year of married life, a gesture meant everything to the other person. Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks turned red immediately. ¡°Forget it, husband! I¡¯m pregnant!¡± Yang Chen patted her head, smoothing the strands of hair on her forehead and tucking them behind her ears. This simple and warm gesture made Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks flush instantly with a blush of fire. After more than a year of married life, she was very clear about what this gesture meant. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡± Lin Xn coquettishly scolded. Then, Yang Chen raised his neck. The reason why Yang Chen didn¡¯t bring Lin Xn with him this time when he returned to the Xuantian Sect was because he had some things to take care of. Because, ording to the original plot, the female lead Shen Xueyan had already broken through to the Golden Core realm. Shen Xueyan herself looked down on him, the Holy Son of the sect. Now that she had broken through to the Golden Core realm, her pride would be as one could imagine. In the original work, as soon as Shen Xueyan broke through to the Golden Core stage, she wanted to divorce him. ording to their agreement, as long as Shen Xueyan could defeat him, Yang Chen had to agree to the divorce unconditionally. Therefore, the reason why Yang Chen went back this time was to fulfill Shen Xueyan¡¯s wish and divorce her. In passing, he would also humiliate her. After all, his current realm was the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm! Moreover, after returning, he had another important matter to prepare for: his wedding with Lin Xn. After all, the two had the actual status of husband and wife and had a child, and even in their daily address to each other, they still referred to each other as the same. However, Yang Chen had not given her a proper wedding. More importantly, with a proper wedding, he would truly be the legitimate stepfather to his Junior Brother Lin Yan! Chapter 6 - Yan鈥檈r, Quickly Take this Pill! Chapter 6 - Yan¡¯er, Quickly Take this Pill! Chapter 6 ¡ª Yan¡¯er, Quickly Take this Pill! Xuantian Sect. As one of the top immortal sects in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Xuantian Sect is situated on a mountain range shrouded in spiritual energy. The spiritual energy here was at least ten times higher than that of the small city where Lin Xn stayed. This mountain range, because of Xuantian Sect, was also known as the Xuantian Mountain Range. The Xuantian Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles, with several tens of secr dynasties in the tens of thousands of miles around, all being subordinate forces of Xuantian Sect. At the foot of the mountain, a battle was taking ce. ¡°Lin Yan, hand over the Snow Lingzhi! Otherwise, you¡¯ll regret it today!¡± Three men in white were besieging a young man in ck. The young man in ck was carrying a ck giant sword and was somewhat struggling against the three attackers. Seeing this scene, Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved into a smile. Howe my eldest son is here? The young man in ck was none other than Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny! Yang Chen thought carefully. In the original work, there was indeed an episode like this. Lin Yan had an adventure and obtained a thousand-year-old Snow Lingzhi, which could effectively enhance soul strength. As a result, he was discovered by three inner sect disciples. These three minor viins naturally wanted to snatch it. As a result, they were all dealt with by Lin Yan here. The storage rings on the three were taken by Lin Yan, earning him a small fortune. Bang! At this moment, one of the three inner sect disciples attacked Lin Yan from the side, hitting his shoulder. Teng teng! Lin Yan took several steps back, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Darn it! Do you think I, Lin Yan, am easy to bully?¡± Lin Yan was suddenly furious, he took off the giant ck sword, and prepared to use all his strength to kill the three. Just then, three sword auras came rushing through the air. Bang! Bang! Bang! The sword auras were extremely fast and unstoppable, directly hitting the three inner sect disciples. The three were sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground. ¡°Who goes there?¡± ¡°We are inner sect disciples of Xuantian Sect. Who are you to dare interfere with the affairs of our Xuantian Sect?¡± The three inner sect disciples shouted angrily, not fearing even though they were injured. Yang Chen slowly walked out of the woods. ¡°It¡¯s me! What are you going to do?¡± Seeing Yang Chen, the three inner sect disciples were immediately shocked. ¡°Greetings, Holy Son!¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t know it was the Holy Son who acted. Please forgive us if we have offended you, Senior!¡± The three inner sect disciples knelt on the ground in a panic. The position of the Holy Son was much higher than that of the inner sect disciples. Moreover, the Holy Son had a rather cruel personality. They couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. Yang Chen nced at the three, then at Lin Yan. There was some surprise in his eyes. All three of their strengths being at the Fifth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Lin Yan, on the other hand was only at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm. However, in his fight against three by himself, he didn¡¯t seem to be any weaker than them. The key point was that this guy hadn¡¯t used his full strength yet. Indeed, he is the Son of Destiny. He had fiercebat strength. Fighting beyond one¡¯s level like was like eating a meal to him. Moreover, a year and a half ago, Lin Yan¡¯s strength was only at the First stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Now, he had reached the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. This cultivation speed was simply terrifying. It should be noted that for a cultivator to reach the Golden Core realm within a century was considered a sign of talent. Such a cultivator was expected to have hope in reaching the Nascent Soul Realm in the future. And most of the time was spent on cultivating the Foundation Establishment Realm. It can be said that for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was normal to take several years to advance a stage in cultivation. However, Lin Yan broke through three realms in a year and a half. This cultivation speed can be said to be unparalleled in Xuantian Sect. Yang Chen came back to his senses and looked at the three inner sect disciples. ¡°Why did the three of you attack Lin Yan? Do you understand the severity of the crime of robbing a fellow disciple?!¡± Yang Chen said sternly. The several inner sect disciples were confused. What is the Holy Son doing? Isn¡¯t he the one who hates Lin Yan the most? This Lin Yan harasses the Holy Son¡¯s fianc¨¦e every day, and the entire sect knows about it. Holy Son always regarded it as a great humiliation. He often sends people to trouble Lin Yan. What¡¯s going on today? ¡°The three of you, get lost! In the future, whoever dares toy a hand on Lin Yan will have to deal with me, Yang Chen!¡± Yang Chen said in a deep voice. The three inner sect disciples were shocked again. But they didn¡¯t dare to think too much, quickly got up, and flew towards the sect. [Ding, host let go of three inner sect disciples, prevented the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, from obtaining the storage bags on them, plundered 50 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, and the host gained 50 VPs!] He heard the System in his mind. Yang Chen was suddenly stunned. I didn¡¯t expect to get rewards for this too. But it¡¯s a little too less, this time around. Only 50 VPs. Well, my son earned me 3,000 points at once. Passersby are just passersby. They are not worth much. ¡­ Lin Yan, behind him, looked at Yang Chen with vignce. He didn¡¯t know what Yang Chen was up to! This bastard actually helped him. What¡¯s going on? Lin Yan clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, ready to fight at any moment. At this moment, Yang Chen suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yan. The seriousness on his face disappeared, reced by a gentle smile. He took out a pill from the storage ring. ¡°Yan¡¯er, you¡¯re injured, quickly take this pill!¡± Chapter 7 - It鈥檚 This Holy Son鈥檚 First Wedding, It Must be Grand! Chapter 7 - It¡¯s This Holy Son¡¯s First Wedding, It Must be Grand! Chapter 7 ¡ª It¡¯s This Holy Son¡¯s First Wedding, It Must be Grand! ¡°What did you call me!?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s address, Lin Yan was instantly enraged, veins bulging on his forehead. ¡°Yan¡¯er!¡± ¡°Oh, you might not be able to ept it if I suddenly call you that! It¡¯s okay, you¡¯ll understand in a while!¡± Yang Chen smiled mysteriously, without further exnation. He threw the pill to Lin Yan and then a golden light shot up from his body, directly knocking the unprepared Lin Yan to the ground. ¡°Yan¡¯er, I¡¯ll be heading back to the sect now, be careful on your own!¡± After saying this, Yang Chen turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky. Lin Yan got up; his face filled with shock. ¡°Golden Core! This guy broke through to the Golden Core realm! Master, didn¡¯t you say that Yang Chen¡¯s Dao heart wascking and it would be difficult for him to break through to the Golden Core realm in a short while?¡± Lin Yan seemed to be talking to himself, but a soft voice came from his body: ¡°Yan¡¯er, Master was mistaken back then! This Yang Chen probably had a great opportunity in the past year! His current cultivation is indeed at the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Lin Yan was unable to hold back. ¡°The Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm, how is that possible!? Master, are you sure you didn¡¯t see it wrong!? How could he have advanced five stages in just over a year!?¡± This kind of cultivation speed, even he dared not think about it. ¡°Yan¡¯er, the fact is indeed so!¡± The soft voice came again. ¡°If he wanted to kill you just now, it would have only taken a single strike of the sword! But he didn¡¯t make a move, which is strange!¡± ¡°Kill me with a single strike? Hmph! Even if he¡¯s at the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm, he can¡¯t kill me!¡± Lin Yan said confidently. This was true. As the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan wasn¡¯t so easy to kill. Moreover, his mysterious Master would not sit idly by and let him be killed, he would definitely take action to protect him. Yang Chen naturally understood this, so he directly gave up on attacking Lin Yan. Also, even if Yang Chen could kill Lin Yan, he wouldn¡¯t want to. Because he still wanted Lin Xn to continue giving birth to his children, in order to plunder Lin Yan¡¯s luck! Moreover, he could also be Lin Yan¡¯s stepfather! So how could Lin Yan die? Which father would want his son to die!? Even if it¡¯s a stepson! Even if Lin Yan really wanted to die, he would have to wait until he was of no use to him! ¡­ Xuantian Sect. Holy Son Peak. Yang Chen sat on a cultivation tform made of icy jade stone, with two ck-robed figures standing below. ¡°Where have you been all this time, Your Highness?¡± ¡°The Sect Master came out of seclusion and wanted to see you, but you were not here!¡± Yang Chen casually said: ¡°This time I had a great opportunity; don¡¯t you see that my cultivation has already broken through to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm?¡± The two ck-robed figures said in unison: ¡°Congrattions on breaking through to the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°If the Sect Master knew, she would be very pleased!¡± ¡°Your Highness¡¯s cultivation speed is like a miracle; it is indeed a blessing for our Xuantian Sect!¡± The Sect Master mentioned by the two was Yang Chen¡¯s master. Although his talent and cultivation were not bad, he had always been at the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Due to his temperament issues, he had been unable to break through to the Golden Core realm. As the top sect in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Xuantian Sect also had many talented disciples at the Golden Core realm. However, no one could challenge Yang Chen¡¯s position as the Holy Son. Because he was the only direct disciple of the Sect Master, Matriarch Xuantian. These two ck-robed figures were the guardians left by the Sect Master to protect him. The ck-robed old man with a withered face was called Elder ck, a senior elder of the inner sect of Xuantian Sect, and his cultivation was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. The other figure waspletely wrapped in a ck robe, not even revealing her face, but her figure was slim, indicating that she was a woman. She was the Sect Master¡¯s former maid, named Ye Yuxiao, and her cultivation too was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. In the original work, Elder ck died very tragically. He was sent by his previous self to deal with Lin Yan, but was killed by the mysterious soul inside Lin Yan¡¯s body, and his body was refined into a puppet. He truly had a miserable end. As for Ye Yuxiao, as a beauty, she was branded with a divine soul imprint by the mysterious soul in her soul pce, and became Lin Yan¡¯s ve girl, and her ending was not pleasant either. But all of this will not happen. At this time, a stream of light flew over. Yang Chen grabbed the light in his hand. As the light dissipated, it revealed a bamboo slip. Opening it, it read: Yang Chen, I have broken through to the Golden Core realm. ording to the agreement, if I defeat you, our engagement will be annulled! See you in the martial arena in an hour! If you don¡¯te, it will be considered as my victory! Shen Xueyan! ¡°Hehe!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curled up in a cold smile. This Shen Xueyan was bing really anxious. He came this time to annul the engagement with her. After all, how could he marry the male protagonist¡¯s mother without breaking off the engagement? After all, he was a traditional and responsible man. Lin Xn had given birth to a chubby son for him, and there was another one in her belly. He must marry Lin Xn as his wife. And it must be a formal wedding. So he must dissolve the engagement with Shen Xueyan. ¡°Elder ck, Yuxiao, on the seventh of next month, I will be getting married! Help me prepare for the wedding!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Your Highness, you are getting married?¡± Both ck Lao and Ye Yuxiao were shocked. ¡°Your Highness, getting married is not a trivial matter. Have you discussed it with the Sect Master?¡± Yang Chen shook his head: ¡°This is a small matter, there¡¯s no need to dy Master¡¯s cultivation! When hees out of seclusion, I will exin it to her! Arrange it for me, it must be grand! Send out more invitations, all the elders and core disciples must receive them! This is my first marriage, remember, it must be grand!¡± Chapter 8 - Defeated by a Single Sword Strike! I鈥檓 Divorcing You! Chapter 8 - Defeated by a Single Sword Strike! I¡¯m Divorcing You! Chapter 8 ¡ª Defeated by a Single Sword Strike! I¡¯m Divorcing You! At the Xuantian Sect¡¯s martial arena, Shen Xueyan, dressed in moon-white pce attire, stood on the stage with a long sword in hand. Her face was cold, her beautiful eyes half-closed, her body exuding a forbidding aura that kept others at bay. She resembling a peerless female sword immortal. Surrounding her were disciples and even some elders who had gathered to witness her martial challenge against the sect¡¯s Holy Son. ¡°Poor Holy Son, he has been earnestly pursuing Shen Xueyan, yet now she uses such a methods to divorce him!¡± ¡°These years, how many cultivation resources has the Holy Son given Shen Xueyan? And now, sigh!¡± Some sympathized with Yang Chen, while others showed disdain. ¡°Poor? Not necessarily! In the world of cultivation, strength is paramount. The Holy Son¡¯s failure to form his Dan and being divorced was just a matter of time!¡± ¡°If he wasn¡¯t the Sect Master¡¯s only disciple, I¡¯m afraid he wouldn¡¯t even keep his position as the Holy Son!¡± Several Golden Core realm disciples spoke coldly, their eyes showing a hint of desire when they nced at Shen Xueyan¡¯s exquisite figure. If she divorced the Holy Son, they would have a chance to pursue her. After all, Shen Xueyan was the number one beauty among the inner sect disciples. On the high tform of the arena, an elder advised, ¡°Senior Niece Xueyan, are you sure about this? Your union with the Holy Son was personally arranged by the Sect Master. She won¡¯t be pleased with your actions.¡± Shen Xueyan looked towards the tform and slightly bowed, saying, ¡°Elders, there¡¯s no need for further persuasion. My mind is made up. Matters of emotion cannot be forced. Besides, this is the agreement between me and Yang Chen¡ªto decide whether to annul based on the oue of this battle. If he defeats me, the engagement stands. If not, it¡¯s void.¡± Before anyone could react, a golden light shed andnded firmly on the stage. Without hesitation, a sword aura was unleashed. Boom! Despite trying to defend with her sword, Shen Xueyan was still sent flying, blood spraying as she flew through the air. Everyone present widened their eyes in shock. What was happening? Shen Xueyan had been defeated by a single sword strike! As the golden light dissipated, Yang Chen¡¯s remarkable figure was revealed. ¡°It¡¯s the Holy Son!¡± ¡°The Holy Son defeated Shen Xueyan with a single sword strike?¡± ¡°Shen Xueyan has already reached the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°Wait, the Holy Son has also reached the Golden Core realm!?¡± A group of disciples were astonished. On the high tform, several elders flew down one after another,nding on the stage. ¡°Holy Son, you have reached the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm!?¡± An elder eximed in excitement. As Golden Core realm cultivators, they could discern Yang Chen¡¯s exact cultivation level. Yang Chen nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve had some fortuitous encounters recently, which filled the void in my heart. With a solid foundation, I broke through to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm in one go!¡± ¡°What!?¡± ¡°The Holy Son has reached the Fifth level of the Golden Core realm!?¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°Each stage of the Golden Core realm usually takes more than ten years to advance, yet in just over a year, the Holy Son has gone from the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm!?¡± The elders¡¯ words caused an uproar among the disciples. They looked at Yang Chen with shock and excitement. ¡°The Holy Son¡¯s talent is truly peerless!¡± ¡°The Sect Master¡¯s vision is beyond ordinary!¡± ¡°With the Holy Son¡¯s rapid progress, the future is unimaginable. It¡¯s truly a blessing for our Xuantian Sect!¡± Several elders congratted him, their eyes full of excitement. With the Holy Son advancing so quickly, the future of the Xuantian Sect would be prosperous. At this moment, all eyes in the martial arena were focused on Yang Chen. However, Yang Chen¡¯s gaze was on the tform below, where Shen Xueyan, with blood at her lips, tried to stand up but failed due to her grievous injuries. She could only support herself with her sword, kneeling on one knee. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for her. Shen Xueyan was the number one beauty among the inner sect disciples, admired by many. Now, she was beaten so miserably. ¡°The Holy Son really doesn¡¯t know how to cherish beauty!¡± ¡°To think he would beat Shen Xueyan like this!¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we go and help Shen Xueyan?¡± ¡°Are you looking for death? The Holy Son has already reached the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm. If he doesn¡¯t speak, who dares to approach?¡± ¡°Moreover, this is a matter between the Holy Son and Shen Xueyan. It¡¯s a martial challenge between fianc¨¦s. What right do we have to interfere?¡± Although some disciples wanted to curry favor with Shen Xueyan, they felt the strong aura emanating from Yang Chen and dared not approach. However, there were still some who were not afraid of the Holy Son. Just then, Lin Yan, who had just arrived from the foot of the mountain, saw this scene and hurried forward. ¡°Sister Xueyan, are you okay?¡± Lin Yan supported Shen Xueyan¡¯s arm and helped her up. Yang Chen, watching this, smiled faintly. ¡°Shen Xueyan, you lost.¡± Yang Chen said coldly. Shen Xueyan¡¯s gaze was downcast, her eyes somewhat lost and confused. A single sword strike! She never expected to be unable to even block Yang Chen¡¯s casual attack! How could this bastard, who was only at the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm a year ago, break through to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm!? His cultivation was so strong! Moreover, his attack was so decisive! He didn¡¯t even exchange pleasantries, just a sword strike! Just now, that sword strike directly caused her serious injuries! Even standing up was difficult for her! The gazes around her made Shen Xueyan feel as if her face was burning. The martial challenge was her idea. The divorce was also her decision. Even the people present were indirectly caused by her. Now, she was easily defeated by Yang Chen¡¯s casual sword strike. She felt like a clown. An arrogant and ignorant clown. ¡°I lost. From now on, I won¡¯t mention the matter of annulment again.¡± Shen Xueyan¡¯s voice was deste. She turned and wanted to leave quickly. However, Yang Chen spoke behind her: ¡°You lost. But the engagement will be annulled. I¡¯m withdrawing from this engagement!¡± Chapter 9 - Shen Xueyan: I Want to Be Alone for a While! Chapter 9 - Shen Xueyan: I Want to Be Alone for a While! Chapter 9 ¡ª Shen Xueyan: I Want to Be Alone for a While! ¡°What!?¡± Shen Xueyan¡¯s heart trembled, her delicate body quivering. She could hardly believe it. Yang Chen wanted to annul the engagement!? Around them, a group of elders and disciples also looked surprised. The love the Holy Son had for Shen Xueyan was well known throughout the Xuantian Sect. But now, the Holy Son was actually taking the initiative to divorce her! What was going on? ¡°Holy Son, don¡¯t act impulsively!¡± One elder tried to dissuade Yang Chen. Yang Chen waved his hand to stop the elder and continued, ¡°The engagement is now void between us! From now on, you and I, Yang Chen, will have nothing to do with each other again!¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen took out the marriage certificate. With a wave of his hand, he engulfed the certificate in mes, burning it to ashes. ¡°Everyone, on the seventh day of next month, I, the Holy Son, will have a grand wedding! You are all wee to the Holy Son Peak to have a drink in celebration!¡± After saying this, Yang Chen turned into a golden light and left. ¡°The Holy Son¡¯s grand wedding on the seventh day of next month?¡± The group of elders and disciples were once again shocked. ¡°What is the Holy Son doing?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t he always love Shen Xueyan? He has been pursuing her for more than ten years!¡± ¡°Why does he suddenly want an annulment, and he even has a grand wedding on the seventh day of next month?¡± ¡°I understand now. The Holy Son has given up on Fairy Xueyan!¡± ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that Lin Yan beside Fairy Xueyan?¡± ¡°It turns out to be this clingy fellow, always sticking to Fairy Xueyan since he came to our Xuantian Sect. He couldn¡¯t be chased away no matter how hard one tries?¡± ¡°Humph, although countless male disciples in our Xuantian Sect admire Fairy Xueyan, knowing that Fairy Xueyan and the Holy Son have an engagement, they all keep a certain distance. But this Lin Yan, shamelessly, knowing that the other party is engaged, still sticks around so closely. And Shen Xueyan, clearly engaged to the Holy Son, was so close to Lin Yan. It¡¯s no wonder the Holy Son annulled the engagement!¡± The voices of the disciples around were not concealed at all. Shen Xueyan and Lin Yan heard them clearly. Lin Yan¡¯s anger surged, the veins on his forehead bulging as he pointed at the disciples around him and angrily said, ¡°What did you say? Are you courting death?¡± ¡°Bullshit, a mere Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm dares to say we¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you who¡¯s courting death!¡± ¡°Lin Yan, remove your dog¡¯s ws from Fairy Xueyan!¡± A Golden Core disciple walked out and said coldly. The Holy Son took the initiative to cancel the engagement with Shen Xueyan. And the Holy Son was going to hold a grand wedding on the seventh day of theing month. That meant the Holy Son was no longer interested in Shen Xueyan. Their chance hade. Naturally, they would teach Lin Yan a lesson now to keep him away from Fairy Xueyan. ¡°You are courting death!¡± Lin Yan gripped his sword tightly, about to make a move. But Shen Xueyan, standing beside him, said coldly, ¡°Enough, Lin Yan. Do you think I haven¡¯t been humiliated enough already?¡± Beaten with a single move by Yang Chen, then forcibly divorced by Yang Chen, and now the discussions of the crowd just now. She only felt her face burning and just wanted to leave here quickly. Shen Xueyan broke away Lin Yan¡¯s hands supporting her arms and left alone. When she left the martial arts arena, a tear fell from the corner of Shen Xueyan¡¯s eye, containing grievances, loneliness, and failure. She had never expected things to turn out like this. Yang Chen had reached the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm! He had beaten her with a single move, severely injuring her, and then forcibly annulling their engagement without a sliver of mercy. She suddenly felt that Yang Chen had be a stranger. The Yang Chen who used to be so eager to please her seemed like a different person now. ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, let me send you back!¡± Lin Yan once again walked up to her. ¡°Junior Brother Lin, I can go back by myself!¡± Shen Xueyan did not agree. The discussions just now made her want to keep some distance from Lin Yan now. But Lin Yan naturally would not give up like this. ¡°That bastard Yang Chen must have obtained some great opportunity, otherwise, with his talent and state of mind, he would never have such a cultivation speed! ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, don¡¯t be discouraged! Your future is far better than Yang Chen¡¯s. He is just a yboy!¡± If it were before, Shen Xueyan would have been very happy to hear Lin Yan¡¯sments on Yang Chen. After all, she also thought so too. But now, after being defeated by Yang Chen¡¯s casual move, she knew how strong Yang Chen was. Lin Yan, a mere Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, looking down on a Fifth stage Golden Core realm like this made her feel like Lin Yan was too frivolous. It was simply an insult just for the sake of one. Her affection for him had decreased significantly. ¡°Enough, Junior Brother Lin!¡± Shen Xueyan interrupted Lin Yan, her voice deep. ¡°You don¡¯t need to send me back. I want to be alone for a while!¡± After speaking, Shen Xueyan left straight away. Lin Yan stood in ce, his eyes darkening. ¡°Master, that bastard Yang Chen must have gained some great opportunity!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was tinged with jealousy and greed. ¡°Yan¡¯er, do you want to seize his opportunity?¡± A gentle voice sounded. ¡°If I can, of course, I want to seize it! Master, you also said that the cultivation world is a world ofpetition. If Yang Chen can reach the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm in a short time, this opportunity is definitely not simple! If I can obtain it for myself ¡­¡± Lin Yan¡¯s eyes gradually showed a hint of killing intent. At this moment, Yang Chen returned to the Holy Son Peak. [Ding, the host defeated Shen Xueyan and forcefully and divorced her, causing Shen Xueyan¡¯s Dao heart to be frustrated, reducing her affection for Lin Yan. The host plundered 300 points of Providence Luck from Lin Yan, gaining 300 VPs!] Yang Chen raised his eyebrows. Only 300 points? That¡¯s too little. Far less than when his son was born and he directly plundered 3000 points of luck from Lin Yan! It looked like he still needed Lin Xn to have a few more children for him. Distribute Lin Yan¡¯s luck more evenly that way. Chapter 10 - The Wedding Begins! Lin Yan Witnesses! Chapter 10 - The Wedding Begins! Lin Yan Witnesses! Chapter 10 ¡ª The Wedding Begins! Lin Yan Witnesses! Half a month passed quickly. Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao had already prepared everything for Yang Chen¡¯s wedding. Yang Chen led the weing party and headed towards Bai Shan City in great numbers. As the top immortal sect in the Northern Spiritual Realm, Xuantian Sect was the ruler of several dozen secr dynasties nearby. The wedding of the Holy Son was naturally a major event. Although they didn¡¯t inform the Sect Master, almost all the core elders who were not in seclusion attended. Some were involved in organizing the wedding ceremony at Xuantian Sect, while others apanied Yang Chen to wee the bride in Bai Shan City. Bai Shan City was just an ordinary city under the Leiyan Dynasty. It had never experienced such a grand asion before. In the sky, dozens of flying spirit boats came side by side, resembling celestial beings traveling, shocking everyone in Bai Shan City. There were cultivators in Bai Shan City as well, but they were mostly Qi Refining cultivators. Only the city lord was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. ¡°City Lord, what is that?¡± a cultivator asked. The city lord of Bai Shan City looked solemn and said, ¡°Those are flying spirit boats, only top-tier immortal sects possess them! Even the Leiyan Dynasty doesn¡¯t have a single flying spirit boat!¡± ¡°What!?¡± A group of Bai Shan City cultivators were astonished. ¡°Which power is this? Their momentum is so majestic!¡± ¡°Dozens of flying spirit boats flying side by side!¡± The city lord was a member of the Leiyan Dynasty¡¯s royal family and had seen many grand asions. But at this moment, he couldn¡¯t help feeling frightened. The impact of dozens of flying spirit boats was too great. After a long time, he said, ¡°This should be a big shot from Xuantian Sect! Within tens of thousands of miles, only Xuantian Sect has such strength!¡± The spirit boats arrived above Bai Shan City. A strong pressure gradually spread. Both cultivators andmoners in Bai Shan City wore fearful expressions. In a small courtyard in the east of the city, Lin Xn held Yang Chi in her arms and muttered to herself, ¡°Chi¡¯er, your father said he would be back in half a month, why hasn¡¯t he returned yet? Mother misses him! Do you miss him? Ah!?¡± At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong oppressive force. Her heart trembled instantly. She hurriedly walked out of the room and looked up at the sky. Dozens of flying spirit boats were hovering in the air. Lin Xn¡¯s pretty face was full of panic. ¡°Have ¡­ have they found me? How is that possible! No, I can¡¯t be caught and taken back. I have to wait for my husband toe back! If my husbandes back and can¡¯t find me, won¡¯t he worry?¡± Lin Xn felt flustered and hurried to hide in the house. However, she suddenly froze in ce. Because, a figure walked down from one of the flying spirit boats. Although the distance was too far to see the face clearly, after more than a year of marriage and intimacy, she still recognized him at a nce. ¡°It¡¯s my husband! My husband is back! Great! Chi¡¯er, your father is back, he¡¯se to take us!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s beautiful face was no longer panicked but filled with tenderness and joy. In the sky, hundreds of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators lined up on both sides. A shower of flowers poured down. The entire Bai Shan City was covered in a rain of flowers. The flower rain contained pure spiritual energy, permeating the city. Some cultivators even sat cross-legged on the ground, showing signs of breakthroughs. Yang Chen slowly descended from the sky andnded in front of Lin Xn. ¡°Wife!¡± Lin Xn embraced Yang Chi and threw herself into Yang Chen¡¯s arms. ¡°Wife! Are you satisfied with the wedding I prepared for you?¡± Yang Chen asked softly. ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s too grand, too extravagant! It¡¯s unnecessary!¡± Lin Xn whispered. Her eyes were a little moist. Her husband was too good to her. He even specially arranged a wedding ceremony. ¡°How can you say it¡¯s unnecessary? You are my legally wedded wife. How can there be no wedding?¡± Yang Chen held Lin Xn¡¯s slender waist and flew up into the flying boat in the sky. Xuantian Sect. The grand wedding ceremony began. Although nearby immortal sects and dynasties were not invited, there were still tens of thousands of elders and disciples within Xuantian Sect. The wedding was quite lively. Lin Xn descended from the flying boat. She had changed into a bright red wedding dress, with a phoenix crown and veil. Her snowy skin, set off by the red wedding dress, looked even fairer. Her exquisite appearance, even within Xuantian Sect, could overwhelm some female cultivators, making them pale inparison. ¡°Is this the Holy Son¡¯s wife?¡± ¡°So beautiful!¡± ¡°I heard that the Holy Son¡¯s wife is a mortal, not a cultivator!¡± ¡°A mortal? A mortal can be so beautiful!¡± ¡°If the Holy Son¡¯s wife steps on the path of cultivation, wouldn¡¯t she be peerless?¡± On the Holy Son Peak, there were crowds of elders and disciples watching. Meanwhile, Shen Xueyan also arrived at the peak of the Holy Son. Naturally, Lin Yan, the protagonist, followed behind her. ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, what¡¯s so interesting about Yang Chen¡¯s wedding? Shall we go out and gain some experience together?¡± Lin Yan said beside Shen Xueyan. Only by going out for adventures, full of dangers, could he have a chance to win over the current distant Shen Xueyan. Especially during this time, Shen Xueyan¡¯s attitude towards him was quite indifferent, making him extremely ufortable. The woman Lin Yan had set his eyes on actually treated him with indifference. How could this be? Hearing Lin Yan¡¯s words, Shen Xueyan frowned slightly. She originally wanted toe to the Holy Son Peak alone and see what kind of woman made Yang Chen willing to give up on her and marry her. However, as soon as she stepped out, she encountered Lin Yan. And he insisted on following her. Shen Xueyan took a deep breath and said calmly, ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, I don¡¯t want to go out for adventures during this time. I just want to be alone for a while.¡± There was a subtle hint in her words, indicating that she wanted him to leave. However, Lin Yan seemed to not have heard it and continued to stand beside her. Shen Xueyan felt somewhat angry. Then she walked directly into the crowd. Lin Yan followed closely behind her. At this moment, Lin Xn, dressed in phoenix crown and veil, walked out of the pce alone. Xuantian Sect had a rule that at the Holy Son¡¯s wedding, he had to apany the bride to bow to the ancestors of Xuantian Sect. After the bowing ceremony, the Holy Son would spend a solitary moment in the main hall, burning incense and praying. Meanwhile, the Holy Son¡¯s wife would go out alone to receive the respects of the elders and disciples. ¡°Respects to the Holy Son¡¯s wife!¡± The news of Yang Chen breaking through to the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm and severely injuring Shen Xueyan with a single sword had already spread throughout Xuantian Sect. Everyone knew that the Holy Son¡¯s strength had reached the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm, and no one could challenge his position as the Holy Son anymore. In the future, the one who would inherit the position of Sect Master would most likely be the Holy Son. As the wife legally married to the Holy Son, she would naturally be the Sect Master¡¯s wife. Therefore, even though Lin Xn was just a mortal, both the elders and disciples bowed respectfully to her. ¡°Although the Holy Son¡¯s wife is stunningly beautiful, she is still a mortal!¡± ¡°The fact that the Holy Son is willing to give up on Fairy Shen Xueyan for a mortal seems to indicate true love!¡± ¡°No wonder the Holy Son was able to reach the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm in just over a year. It turns out he has the nourishment of love!¡± ¡°It looks like I also need to go find my love!¡± ¡°s, if Fairy Shen Xueyan sees this scene, I wonder if she wille to regret it?¡± ¡°After all, she should have been the one standing there!¡± Standing behind the crowd, Shen Xueyan heard these whispered conversations. Her fists clenched. Shen Xueyan nced at Lin Xn, who was as beautiful and well-proportioned as her, and suddenly felt a bit ufortable in her heart. She turned around to leave. However, she suddenly froze in ce. Because beside her stood Lin Yan, who had a grim expression, blood-red eyes, full of killing intent. His body was even trembling. Chapter 11 - The Matters Between Us Father and Son Can Only Be Resolved by Us! Chapter 11 - The Matters Between Us Father and Son Can Only Be Resolved by Us! Chapter 11 ¡ª The Matters Between Us Father and Son Can Only Be Resolved by Us! Shen Xueyan was startled by Lin Yan¡¯s fierce and terrifying expression. She hurriedly said, ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan?¡± Shen Xueyan furrowed her brows. What happened to Lin Yan? Why was he showing such a ferocious expression upon seeing Yang Chen? What grudge did he have with Yang Chen? Shen Xueyan just wanted to leave quickly without being noticed. So, she pushed Lin Yan hard. She did it for his own good. Because if Lin Yan¡¯s expression was noticed by someone, he would undoubtedly invite trouble. However, Lin Yan red at her fiercely and said, ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Shen Xueyan was immediately angry. She kindly woke him up, and he responded rudely. ¡°Hmph!¡± With a snort, Shen Xueyan turned and ignored him. Lin Yan stared fiercely at Yang Chen, his fists clenched, eyes almost bursting with anger. He pushed through the crowd and walked straight towards Lin Xn. ¡°Mother, why are you here?¡± This sudden question caused the entire crowd to quiet down. Lin Xn also looked flustered when she saw Yang Chen. His wedding to her was grand and beautiful, and she was very moved. However, what she was most worried about now was Lin Yan appearing here. It wasn¡¯t because she was worried that Lin Yan wouldn¡¯t understand, but because she was worried about what would happen if Lin Yan called her ¡°mother¡± in front of everyone! After all, her husband was the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect. Originally, the one he should have married was a Holy Daughter of equal status. But he married her, a mortal. If a twenty-year-old son, appeared in this situation, where would her husband¡¯s face go? Everyone in the sect would mock him! Therefore, when Lin Yan called her ¡°mother¡± and she saw Lin Yan, Lin Xn, after her initial panic, felt a hint of annoyance. Yan¡¯er, I didn¡¯t invite you to the wedding, why did you have to show up here!? Aren¡¯t you just asking for trouble!? At this moment, someone in the crowd realized what was happening and immediately stopped Lin Yan. ¡°Lin Yan, what are you doing? The banquet hasn¡¯t even started, and you¡¯re already drunk!? This is the wife of the Holy Son, why are you calling her mother?¡± Lin Yan gave the person a fierce look. But everyone present was either inner sect or Core disciples, and no one was afraid of him. Someone immediately joked, ¡°I know why Junior Brother Lin Yan called the Holy Son¡¯s wife ¡®mother¡¯! Because Junior Brother Lin Yan wants to call the Holy Son his father!¡± ¡°In that case, it¡¯s not wrong to call the Holy Son¡¯s wife ¡®mother¡¯!¡± Hearing this, others immediately agreed, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan actually wants to call His Highness the Holy Son, his father!¡± ¡°Damn, Junior Brother Lin Yan is so clever, he beat us to it!¡± The people around were discussing, but when Lin Yan heard them, it made him instantly furious. He wanted to kill! Someone must die today! Blood must be shed! Only then could he calm the anger in his heart! ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Lin Yan directly attacked the people who had just spoken without discrimination. A surge of mes spread. ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°On the Holy Son¡¯s wedding day, you dare to cause trouble!¡± ¡°You shall be executed on the spot for your crimes!¡± A disciple at the Sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm made a move. However, Lin Yan punched him and sent him flying. ¡°Damn, he¡¯s strong!¡± ¡°A punch from a Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm sent the Sixth stage cultivator flying!¡± Everyone was stunned. It was not easy to fight across stages. Moreover, it was crossing two stages and he had sent that person flying. However, no disturbance could be allowed at the Holy Son¡¯s wedding. An elder signaled, and immediately, a Golden Core cultivator made a move. A palm struck Lin Yan. Pfft! Faced with a Golden Core cultivator, Lin Yan couldn¡¯t resist at all. He spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt halfway on the ground. ¡°Lin Yan, you¡¯re so bold, causing trouble at the Holy Son¡¯s wedding, you shall be executed!¡± The Golden Core cultivator was about to kill Lin Yan. A mere Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm disciple dared to disrupt the Holy Son¡¯s wedding. He was simply courting death. Besides, this bastard had been pestering Fairy Xueyan every day. He had wanted to kill Lin Yan long ago. It was just right to take advantage of this opportunity today. ¡°Stop!¡± Lin Xn hurriedly shouted. However, everyone thought she was showing mercy to Lin Yan. The Golden Core cultivator formed a sword with his two fingers and was about to kill Lin Yan. ¡°Master, help me!¡± Lin Yan said in a low voice. A sh of red passed through his eyes. At this moment, Yang Chen was still in the pce, naturally, he had sensed what was happening outside long ago. But he didn¡¯t immediately make a move. Instead, he waited until the Golden Core cultivator was about to kill Lin Yan before walking out of the pce. Because he knew that the Golden Core cultivator couldn¡¯t kill Lin Yan at all. Not to mention the Golden Core, even if it was Nascent Soul cultivator, they couldn¡¯t kill this kid. After all, he was the Son of Destiny, protected by a mysterious soul! At that time, Lin Yan would directly erupt with an extremely powerful strength and cause a sensation. In the original work, some core elders of the Xuantian Sect would witness Lin Yan¡¯s erupt in strength, so they began to value him. Later on, some core elders began to support Lin Yan. Yang Chen naturally couldn¡¯t let this happen. ¡°Stop!¡± Yang Chen walked out of the pce and directly shouted. Then, he pped the Golden Core cultivator. ¡°Bang!¡± The Golden Core cultivator was beaten back by Yang Chen¡¯s p. ¡°Holy Son, you?¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze turned to Yang Chen. Although they were shocked by his ability to easily defeat a Core disciple at the Golden Core Realm, they were even more puzzled as to why he wanted to spare Lin Yan. ording to reason, the Holy Son should be most pleased if Lin Yan, who had harassed the Holy Son¡¯s fiancee and disrupted the wedding, was killed. Yang Chen, looking extremely anxious, walked to Lin Xn¡¯s side. ¡°Wife, everything is fine now that I¡¯m here!¡± ¡°Husband!¡± Lin Xn clenched her jade like hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her husband intervened in time. Otherwise, Yan¡¯er would have been dead just now. But at the same time, there was a hint of apology in her eyes. Yan¡¯er¡¯s appearance was destined to make her husband lose face today. As his wife, she really felt sorry for her husband! She made her husband lose face on their wedding day! Yan¡¯er, oh Yan¡¯er, you really shouldn¡¯t have appeared here today! Mother really hates you! ¡°Holy Son, Lin Yan has disrupted the wedding, and he should be punished!¡± an elder said. Yang Chen waved his hand to stop him and looked around, saying in a deep voice, ¡°Whatever Lin Yan has done today, no one is allowed toy a hand on him! The matters between us father and son can only be resolved by us. If you interfere, you will be my enemy!¡± Chapter 12 - Yan鈥檈r, You Should Understand Your Mother! Chapter 12 - Yan¡¯er, You Should Understand Your Mother! Chapter 12 ¡ª Yan¡¯er, You Should Understand Your Mother! Yang Chen¡¯s words immediately shocked the crowd. No one was allowed toy a hand on Lin Yan, no matter what he had done? The matters between them as father and son could only be resolved by themselves? What was going on? Could it be that the Holy Son¡¯s wife was really Lin Yan¡¯s mother? ¡°Yan¡¯er, there are some things that I didn¡¯t tell you in advance because I was afraid you couldn¡¯t ept them,¡± Yang Chen said with a helpless and hopeful expression. ¡°But we really do love each other sincerely, and I really hope you can bless us.¡± ¡°Yang Chen, you shut the hell up!¡± Lin Yan erupted in anger, his bloodshot eyes ring at Yang Chen. However, he was actuallymunicating with his mysterious master in his mind. ¡°Master, can I use your power to kill Yang Chen? I must kill him; I must kill him!¡± But the gentle voice refused, ¡°Yan¡¯er, although I can temporarily lend you the strength of a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, it cannotst long! Although the Patriarch of the Xuantian Sect is in seclusion, those core elders are all in the Soul Transformation realm! If I intervene, I¡¯m afraid that not only will I not be able to kill Yang Chen, but I will also be surrounded by several Soul Transformation cultivators!¡± Creak! The sound of Lin Yan gnashing his teeth could be heard. He red at Yang Chen with a deadly gaze. His eyes were fierce and full of killing intent. But Yang Chen was unafraid. Although he knew that Lin Yan¡¯s mysterious master could already exert the power at the Soul Transformation realm. However, Yang Chen was sure that the other party would not dare to make a move. Because this was the Xuantian Sect. Once he made a move, he would definitely be noticed by several Soul Transformation realm Elders. Although the mysterious soul had many means, even if he was besieged by several Soul Transformation cultivators, he was confident that he could retreat. However, that woulde at a considerable cost. The other party would definitely not use it at this moment. ¡°Mother,e with me!¡± Unable to immediately kill Yang Chen, Lin Yan turned his gaze to Lin Xn, intending to grab her arm and leave. However, Lin Xn quickly dodged. ¡°Yan¡¯er, don¡¯t make a scene! Today is your mother¡¯s wedding day, do you know how important it is? Either sit down and drink the wedding wine, or leave quickly!¡± Lin Xn said solemnly. She just wanted this scene to disappear quickly. Lin Yan¡¯s presence here was equivalent to telling everyone that she had a twenty-year-old son! She was fine, but what about her husband? Lin Xn couldn¡¯t help but nce at Yang Chen, worried that he would be angry. However, Yang Chen showed no sign of anger. He patiently exined to Lin Yan, ¡°Yan¡¯er, your mother is right. You should understand her! Doesn¡¯t she also have the right to choose happiness? Now, either sit down and drink the wedding wine, or leave quickly!¡± Lin Xn felt touched. However, Lin Yan directly cursed at Yang Chen, ¡°Damn you! Yang Chen, I will kill you sooner orter!¡± With a crisp sound, Lin Xn couldn¡¯t bear to listen any longer. She stepped forward and pped Lin Yan. ¡°Lin Yan, you are too immature! How can you speak to your elders like that?¡± Although Lin Xn was just a mortal, her p on Lin Yan¡¯s face was neither painful nor itchy. However, this was the first time she had ever hit Lin Yan. But Lin Xn had no regrets. Lin Yan was too immature. With so many people watching, his sudden appearance had already made her husband lose face. And he was still disrespectful, insulting her husband in public! As his wife, she must now preserve her husband¡¯s dignity! Two dark figures suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yan. It was Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao. The strong aura of the peak of the Nascent Soul realm emanating from their bodies made Lin Yan retreat several steps! ¡°Elder ck, Yuxiao, don¡¯t hurt him!¡± Yang Chen quickly said from behind, as if afraid that Lin Yan would be hurt. Lin Xn was even more touched. Lin Yan at this moment spoke to his mysterious master in his mind, ¡°Master, can you help me take my mother away?¡± The gentle voice responded, ¡°Yan¡¯er, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t. With two Nascent Soul realm cultivators, plus several Soul Transformation cultivators from the Xuantian Sect, if a battle breaks out, I can only barely take you away! Moreover, forcefully exerting this level of power will greatly consume my soul power, and I may fall back into slumber again! Yan¡¯er, I advise you to leave today! And it seems that your mother is not being forced into this situation, right? Although she is your mother, she also has the right to choose happiness, and she cannot stay in misery forever.¡± ¡°Enough, Master, stop talking!¡± Lin Yan interrupted the gentle voice, his face fierce. He was unwilling in every way. Even if he couldn¡¯t kill Yang Chen to vent his anger today, at least he wanted to take his mother away. But he couldn¡¯t do it. Damn it! I must be stronger! I must be stronger immediately! Only by bing stronger can I kill Yang Chen! Only then can I wash away this humiliation! Lin Yan¡¯s eyes were extremely fierce, staring at Yang Chen as if he wanted to eat him alive. Chapter 13 - Lin Yans State of Mind is Damaged! Chapter 13 - Lin Yan''s State of Mind is Damaged! Chapter 13 ¡ª Lin Yan¡¯s State of Mind is Damaged! ¡°Lin Yan, hurry up and leave! I don¡¯t want to see you right now!¡± Seeing Lin Yan¡¯s fierce and ferocious gaze, Lin Xn felt only felt a wave of disappointment in her heart. She, a mortal, had raised Lin Yan for twenty years! How much hardship had she endured over the years? Since Lin Yan embarked on the path of cultivation, he hadn¡¯t returned home for a year. She had yin poison ailing her body, and the pain the poison caused her every night was simply excruciating. If it weren¡¯t for her husband purging the poison for her every night, she might have been tortured to death by the yin poison long ago. Now, she finally had someone she could entrust her life to. He didn¡¯t mind that she was a mortal and was willing to marry her openly and legally. She had thought that her son would bless her when he saw all this. However, the son she had raised single-handedly was making a scene. Moreover, her husband had made such a big concession and was so low-key in persuading him in front of so many guests. Yet he still looked terrifying. He even wanted to kill his own father! Why was Yan¡¯er so unreasonable? Why couldn¡¯t he think of her, his mother? Didn¡¯t she deserve happiness? Lin Yan was pped in the face by Lin Xn and scolded coldly, feeling even more desperate and resentful. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll leave!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was hoarse. He couldn¡¯t understand why his mother had been so indifferent to him, her son. He felt extremely humiliated. He had never experienced such humiliation before. Lin Yan vowed to torture Yang Chen, that bastard, to death! Otherwise, the hatred in his heart would never dissipate! With eyes full of killing intent locked on Yang Chen, Lin Yan turned and left directly. ¡°Husband, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Lin Xn looked at Yang Chen, full of apology. Yang Chen gently patted her on the shoulder andforted her, ¡°It¡¯s okay! Let¡¯s exin to Yan¡¯er properly when we have time in the future. I believe he will understand!¡± ¡°Mm, you¡¯re so kind, husband!¡± Lin Xn was moved, her voice choked with emotion. Her husband was still the best, always thinking of her. ¡­ At this moment, the onlookers were all filled with disbelief. The Holy Son¡¯s wife turned out to be Lin Yan¡¯s mother! Lin Yan was already twenty years old. So, the Holy Son¡¯s wife must be about forty years old. Although she was about the same age as the Holy Son, she was still a mortal and had a grown-up son. The Holy Son actually willingly married her! Why was that? Could it be because she was beautiful? But a forty-year-old mortal beauty would age and fade in a few years. Was she worth marrying? Moreover, the Holy Son had directly dissolved his engagement with Fairy Xueyan for this! What was he after? Just her beauty? It didn¡¯t seem likely. Could it be because of love?Shen Xueyan carefully looked at Yang Chen and Lin Xn. When they looked at each other, they were full of tenderness and affection. Suddenly, she felt a bit ufortable. Yang Chen had actually married Lin Yan¡¯s mother! ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve all seen what happened today! From now on, Lin Yan is my stepson! I don¡¯t want anyone to cause trouble for him in the future! Otherwise, it will be having a problem with me, Yang Chen!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Lin Xn felt even more emotional. Her husband was really great. Even though Lin Yan had insulted him in public, he was not angry at all and even wanted to protect him! He wouldn¡¯t let anyone bully him! Her husband was really someone she could entrust her life to. She had made the right choice. [Ding, the host and Lin Yan¡¯s mother held a grand wedding. Lin Yan was furious but helpless, and his state of mind was damaged. The host gained 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, and 500 VPs!] Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile. Not bad. He had plundered another 500 points of Providence Luck from Lin Yan. This wedding was really worth it. And it also damaged Lin Yan¡¯s state of mind. For cultivators, a damaged state of mind was no small matter! Especially for Lin Yan. In the original work, Lin Yan¡¯s state of mind was perfect! Without this perfect state of mind, Lin Yan¡¯s breakthrough speed would inevitably be greatly reduced! Chapter 14 - Our Daughter is Quite Talented! Chapter 14 - Our Daughter is Quite Talented! Chapter 14 ¡ª Our Daughter is Quite Talented! Although there was an episode with Lin Yan at the wedding, it still ended smoothly. In the Holy Son¡¯s residence, the bridal chamber had already been prepared. Yang Chen and Lin Xn, dressed in red wedding attire, entered the chamber. They drank the wedding wine together. Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks were flushed, but her eyes towards Yang Chen were full of apology. ¡°Husband, do you regret marrying me?¡± Lin Xn suddenly said. Yang Chen hurriedly hugged her. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Lin Xn whispered, ¡°I¡¯m just a mortal, and I have a twenty-year-old son! Today, Yan suddenly appeared, which can be said to have humiliated you! You are the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, but you married me, such a woman. You will definitely be ridiculed by others!¡± Yang Chen immediately touched her head andforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t happen! Anyone who dares to ridicule you, I¡¯ll kill them!¡± ¡°Ah, don¡¯t be so quick to kill!¡± Lin Xn pouted coquettishly. Then, she said seriously, ¡°Husband, do you really not despise me?¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t despise you!¡± How could he despise her? Even if Lin Xn wasn¡¯t Lin Yan¡¯s mother, Yang Chen wouldn¡¯t despise her. Because this woman was really good. Her figure and appearance were top-notch, and her mature charm was intoxicating. Moreover, she was very gentle and considerate. She had given birth to a chubby son for him, and there was another one in her belly. Yang Chen was a responsible man. How could he despise a woman who had given birth to his child? Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit hot. He hugged Lin Xn tighter. ¡°Wife, the wedding night is once in a lifetime! Let¡¯s not talk about unhappy things, okay?¡± ¡°Mm.¡± ¡°Then, be careful with the child!¡± Lin Xn nodded gently, her cheeks blushing. But Yang Cheny directly on the bed and gently patted her little head. Lin Xn looked at him shyly. ¡°Hateful, so bad!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Then, Yang Chen took a deep breath. Happy times passed quickly. Half a year passed. Lin Xn was inbour again. As a cry rang out, Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The child was born. Walking into the room, Lin Xny weakly on the bed, but her face was filled with a happy smile. She had given birth to another child for her husband. This time, it was a daughter. He had a son and a daughter, both now. ¡°Wife, you¡¯ve worked hard!¡± Yang Chen still didn¡¯t go to see the child and went straight to her bedside. He wiped the sweat from her forehead and gently touched her fair cheeks. Lin Xn enjoyed this feeling. Looking at Yang Chen, her eyes were full of love, as if she was drunk. ¡°My dear husband, go and see our child!¡± Lin Xn enjoyed Yang Chen¡¯s caress for a while. Her husband was really something. He was like this every time. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go see!¡± Yang Chen smiled gently. He took the child from the midwife. ¡°Wah! Wah! Wah!¡± Although she was a girl, her cry was louder than her brother¡¯s. Holding the little girl, Yang Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. He had exchanged more than 800 VPs for cultivation. Now, his cultivation had reached the Seventh stage of Golden Core realm. With his deepened cultivation, Yang Chen¡¯s perception of things had also greatly improvedpared to a year ago. Looking at the crying little girl in his arms, he keenly sensed that she was actually absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on her own. This!? It was unbelievable! [Ding, the host¡¯s daughter is born, plundering her brother Lin Yan¡¯s of 6,000 points of Providence Luck, rewarding the host with 6,000 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s eyes widened. 6,000 points of Providence Luck? This girl actually plundered 6,000 points of Providence Luck from Lin Yan! No wonder, no wonder she automatically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth just now! His daughter¡¯s talent was absolutely monstrous! Great! Good girl, you must grow up quickly and cultivate well! In the future, if your brother Lin Yan wants to kill Daddy, you must stand up to protect Daddy! Hehe. Junior Brother Lin Yan. I¡¯m sorry, I have given birth to another daughter for you, plundering your 6,000 points Providence Luck! Don¡¯t me your father! After all, they are all your mother¡¯s children, and the Providence Luck cannot be monopolized by you alone! ¡°Husband, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Lin Xn, who was beside him, saw Yang Chen holding their daughter with an excited and strange smile on his face and couldn¡¯t help but ask. What¡¯s wrong with her husband? Last time when Chi¡¯er was born, her husband had the same expression! Yang Chen suddenly came back to his senses. ¡°Wife, our daughter is quite talented! Just born, and she is already absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on her own! This girl¡¯s talent may be stronger than her brother Lin Yan¡¯s!¡± Chapter 15 - Lin Xilan鈥檚 Terrifying Cultivation Speed Chapter 15 - Lin Xn¡¯s Terrifying Cultivation Speed Chapter 15 ¡ª Lin Xn¡¯s Terrifying Cultivation Speed ¡°Really!?¡± Lin Xn too was stunned. Her daughter actually had such amazing talent! She automatically absorbed the essence of heaven and earth as soon as she was born! But soon, a hint of darkness appeared on her face. Her husband had already reached the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm, not far from the Nascent Soul realm. Chi¡¯er had also been detected to have cultivation talent and could be tested for the grade of his spiritual root at the age of three. This little girl had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth as soon as she was born. The whole family could cultivate, except for her, a mere mortal. Sigh. Yang Chen noticed the change in her expression. Holding the little girl, he walked to the bedside. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my dear. I can guarantee that you will be able to cultivate soon! By then, we will be Dao Companions!¡± Yang Chen had already checked on the System. The system could indeed use the VPs to exchange for spiritual roots. A low-grade spiritual root required 300 VPs! A medium-grade spiritual root required 500 VPs! A high-grade spiritual root required 1000 VPs! A Perfection-grade spiritual root required 1500 VPs! An Earth-grade spiritual root required 2000 VPs! And a Heaven-grade spiritual root required 3000 VPs! Yang Chen had 850 VPs at the time. But he could only exchange for a medium-grade spiritual root. So he didn¡¯t exchange it. Now that the little girl was born, he was directly rewarded with 6000 VPs. Yang Chen nned to exchange a Heaven-grade spiritual root for Lin Xn. Half a month passed. Yang Chen named his daughter Yang Can. Bright and sunny, inheriting the lineage of Yan, Chi, and Chao. He believed that Lin Yand would also like his sister¡¯s name! At night, Lin Xny beside Yang Chen, snuggling up to him. Her pure, fair forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat. Her breathing was a bit heavy, and her eyes were intoxicated. A pair of soft and tender jade-like hands were drawing circles on Yang Chen¡¯s chest. She didn¡¯t know when, but she had started to like this action at some point. After each time, she would continue to draw on his chest until she fell asleep. Yang Chen patted her at her protruding ce. ¡°Darling, open your mouth!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Without hesitation, Lin Xn opened her vermilion lips. In this situation, she maintained absolute obedience to Yang Chen. Yang Chen threw a golden pill into Lin Xn¡¯s mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth. ¡°Ah, honey, what did you give me to eat?¡± Lin Xn felt the foreign object in her mouth and hurriedly asked. ¡°Darling, I got a pill that can help condense spiritual roots in the body!¡± Hearing this, Lin Xn¡¯s eyes filled with intoxication, became stunned all of a sudden. Although Lin Xn couldn¡¯t cultivate, her background was extraordinary. She knew very well that pills that could help condense spiritual roots only existed in legends. After all, her father, who was at that level of cultivation, couldn¡¯t find such a pill. Where did her husband get it from? But her husband didn¡¯t say, so it must be a secret. As a wife, she knew there were some things she shouldn¡¯t ask and let her husband keep some secrets. Soon, ayer of golden light emanated from Lin Xn¡¯s body. ¡°Husband!¡± Lin Xn eximed, and the golden light on her body became more intense. In just a moment, the whole room was rendered in gold. The aura of heaven and earth on the Holy Son Peak was already very rich. Yang Chen also activated the Spirit Gathering Array. Immediately, arge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered and Lin Xn began absorbing it. Although Lin Xn couldn¡¯t cultivate, she had been familiar with the family¡¯s inherited martial arts. At this moment, ording to the inherited martial arts, she began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at an extremely fast pace. Several hourster, at dawn, the golden light on Lin Xn¡¯s body gradually dissipated. Opening her beautiful eyes, a golden light shed across. ¡°Honey, I can really cultivate now! And this spiritual root is of a very high grade! After a night of cultivation, I actually reached the Second stage of the Qi Refining realm!¡± Lin Xn was filled with surprise. Yang Chen was also very surprised. Even if it was a heavenly spiritual root, it was impossible to reach the Second stage of the Qi Refining realm in one night. Although the time it took to break through to the Qi Refining realm was much shorter than that of the Foundation Establishment realm, even for those with extraordinary talent, it usually took several months to break through one realm. Even Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, took five days to reach the Second stage of Qi Refining realm. In the original work, Lin Xn could indeed cultivateter on. However, at that time, Lin Yan was already a giant in the world. Therefore, there was not much introduction to Lin Xn¡¯s cultivation speed. But now it seemed that once Lin Xn had a spiritual root, her cultivation speed would be absolutely terrifying. In the future, she might be a great help to him! ¡°Honey, thank you! You¡¯re so good to me!¡± Lin Xn threw herself into Yang Chen¡¯s arms again. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Yang Chen felt that her skin was even more moist and glossy. Unable to resist, he couldn¡¯t help but wandered around. ¡°Ah, hateful!¡± Lin Xn scolded him coquettishly. Her whole body went soft in Yang Chen¡¯s arms. Her vermilion lips lightly opened, and the sweet and hot breath blew on Yang Chen¡¯s ear. Suddenly, the blood in his whole body surged. But at this moment, a loud cry came. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s intoxicated eyes suddenly regained rity, and then panic set in. ¡°Oh no, I forgot! I haven¡¯t fed Can Can all night. The little girl must be starving!¡± Lin Xn struggled out of Yang Chen¡¯s arms and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom to feed the child. ¡°Ah!¡± Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Half month passed. Yang Can was a month old. Yang Chen decided to hold a full moon banquet* for his daughter. [*one month celebration for the baby. This marks a significant milestone as the baby haspleted their first lunar cycle. Traditionally, it was a way to celebrate the baby¡¯s survival through the vulnerable early stages of life, when infant mortality rates were higher.] The news spread, and many people from the Xuantian Sect happily epted the invitation. At this time, Lin Yan, who had just returned to the Xuantian Sect, learned of this news. His face immediately became extremely grim. ¡°Bastard! Yang Chen, you wait for me. I will definitely kill you with my own hands! Cutting off your limbs, peel your skin, and chopping your bones, still won¡¯t be enough to quench my hatred!¡± Although Lin Yan¡¯s aura had increased a lotpared to half a year ago, he was still at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, just one step away from the Fifth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. This cultivation speed was normal for ordinary cultivators because many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators took several years to break through one stage of cultivation. However, this was not Lin Yan¡¯s cultivation speed. After all, he was the Son of Destiny! ¡°Yan¡¯er, don¡¯t be too impatient! Impatience is something that must be avoided in cultivation¡± A gentle voice sounded. ¡°Master, I must be stronger immediately! I can¡¯t calm down until I kill Yang Chen, the dog thief! Ah!¡± With a sigh full of helplessness. Suddenly, the gentle voice raised its tone: ¡°Yan¡¯er, Master has sensed it!¡± ¡°Master, what have you sensed?¡± ¡°The aura of a Primordial Fire!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Lin Yan was suddenly stunned. Then, a near-crazy smile appeared on his face. ¡°Primordial Fire, Primordial Fire! Master, where is the Primordial Fire? I must get it immediately! I will refine it and use it to burn Yang Chen alive!¡± At this moment, in a forbidden ce of the Xuantian Sect, a slender and graceful figure sat cross-legged on a jade tform, her closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, shining brightly. ¡°A treasure is born! Let this seat deduce the location. It¡¯s just in time for the disciples to go and explore! The aura of the treasure is strong, and major forces will all send people to investigate, which can be considered as a test! Chen¡¯er should be back. It¡¯s just right for him to lead the team and hone himself!¡± Chapter 16 - Who Doesnt Know Youre the Stepson Acknowledged by the Holy Son! Chapter 16 - Who Doesn''t Know You''re the Stepson Acknowledged by the Holy Son! Chapter 16 ¡ª Who Doesn¡¯t Know You¡¯re the Stepson Acknowledged by the Holy Son! At this moment. On the Holy Son Peak. Yang Chen set up a grand feast to celebrate his daughter¡¯s full moon banquet. Lin Xn held the child and followed Yang Chen. After half a month of cultivation, her realm had reached the Sixth stage of Qi Refining realm. Nourished by arge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, Lin Xn now exuded an ethereal and graceful aura. ¡°Holy Son¡¯s wife seems to have be even more beautiful!¡± ¡°So beautiful, I suddenly feel that Holy Son¡¯s wife is even more beautiful than Fairy Xueyan, she¡¯s simply stunning!¡± ¡°Holy Son¡¯s wife seems to be able to cultivate now, she has reached the Sixth stage of Qi Refining realm!¡± ¡°What, she reached the Sixth stage of the Qi Refining realm!?¡± ¡°No wonder, no wonder Holy Son¡¯s wife suddenly exudes an ethereal aura, it turns out she can cultivate, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!¡± ¡°However, this cultivation speed is too fast, just like the Holy Son, it¡¯s unreasonable!¡± The elder disciples attending the feast discussed one after another. Lin Yan came to the foot of the Holy Son Peak. He looked coldly at the several pces on the mountain peak. Creak! A grim expression gradually appeared on Lin Yan¡¯s face. He knew that before they married, his mother had already given birth to a child for Yang Chen, named Yang Chi! Now, another daughter named Yang Can! ¡°Bastard! Yang Chen, you really deserve to die!¡± Thinking of this, Lin Yan almost crushed his teeth. He really wanted to rush up and kill Yang Chen and those two little bastards. But. He knew that he didn¡¯t have the strength right now. In the Xuantian Sect, there were several Soul Transformation realm cultivators sitting in attendance. Even if his master took action, it wouldn¡¯t be easy. At this moment, a sword light flew over. Landing in front of Lin Yan. ¡°It turns out to be Junior Brother Lin Yan, greetings!¡± Lin Yan looked at the young man in front of him, frowned slightly, because he didn¡¯t recognize the other party. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Yan said coldly. ¡°I am Li Junfeng, an inner disciple of the sect!¡± ¡°Li Junfeng?¡± Lin Yan frowned. He had never heard of this name. He could be sure that he didn¡¯t know the other party, and they had no previous dealings. But he still asked patiently: ¡°Does Senior Brother Li have something to discuss with me?¡± ¡°Hehe, nothing much! It¡¯s just that my master just received an order from the Sect Master, saying that there is a precious treasure that has emerged in the Red Cloud Mountains fifty thousand miles to the southeast! The Sect Master ordered us to send disciples to investigate. We¡¯ll be led by the Holy Son. My master asked me toe and report to the Holy Son!¡± ¡°To the southeast? A precious treasure?¡± Lin Yan was startled. The Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect actually sensed it too. However, she didn¡¯t sense what the precious treasure was specifically. So she only nned to send the younger generation of the Xuantian Sect. Hehe. If she knew it was the Primordial Fire, she would probably go personally to fight for it! At this moment, Li Junfeng suddenly took out a storage bag. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, you often cultivate alone, so you must have a great need for spiritual stones! Here are ten thousand spiritual stones, Junior Brother Lin Yan, don¡¯t refuse, please ept them!¡± Huh? Lin Yan was stunned. Ten thousand spiritual stones? What¡¯s going on? Why did Li Junfeng suddenly give him spiritual stones? And, he gave him ten thousand right away. Ten thousand spiritual stones were not a small amount. Even though Lin Yan often killed and plundered treasures, ten thousand spiritual stones were still a big temptation for him. Lin Yan wanted to ept them, but asked: ¡°Senior Brother Li, I don¡¯t know why you are suddenly giving me these spiritual stones? We don¡¯t seem to have had much interaction between us!¡± ¡°Well?¡± Li Junfeng thought he was going to refuse, and quickly said: ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, although we haven¡¯t had much interaction before, we¡¯re still fellow disciples of the Xuantian Sect, calling each other ¡°senior¡± and ¡°junior,¡± we¡¯re familiar! Please ept this, it¡¯s a little something from me!¡± Lin Yan had long been coveting these ten thousand spiritual stones. When he heard this, he directly epted them. Seeing him ept, Li Junfeng smiled and said: ¡°Lin Yan Junior Brother, actually, my cultivation has already reached the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. ording to reason, I can alsopete for the position of core Disciple! But, our Xuantian Sect has high requirements for core Disciples, and I am a bit older! So, I just want to ask Junior Brother Lin to help me a little!¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was startled. ¡°I help you be a core disciple? How can I help you?¡± Lin Yan was puzzled. It seemed that this person wanted him to help him be a core disciple. But he himself was just an ordinary inner disciple! How could he help him? ¡°Haha, Junior Brother Lin Yan, don¡¯t be modest!¡± Li Junfengughed: ¡°Everyone in the entire Xuantian Sect knows that the Holy Son married you mother, and that you are the stepson acknowledged by the Holy Son in public! A mere quota for a core disciple is just a matter of you putting in a good word for me! Please help me, Junior Brother Lin!¡± Chapter 17 - You Cant Shield Him Just Because Lin Yan Is Your Stepson! Chapter 17 - You Can''t Shield Him Just Because Lin Yan Is Your Stepson! Chapter 17 ¡ª You Can¡¯t Shield Him Just Because Lin Yan Is Your Stepson! ¡°You, what did you say?¡± Upon hearing Li Junfeng¡¯s words, Lin Yan¡¯s face turned green. Veins bulged on his forehead. His eyes were filled with killing intent. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, did I say something wrong? Oh, don¡¯t be modest! The Holy Son is now at the Fifth stage of the Golden Core realm. As the only direct disciple of the Sect Master, he will definitely take control of our Xuantian Sect in the future! As long as you say a word, the elders responsible for promoting core disciples will definitely give you this face! If Lin Junior Brother feels that ten thousand spiritual stones are too few, I can add more!¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Lin Yan erupted in anger. His true qi surged, and he directly pped towards Li Junfeng. ¡°Ah, Lin Junior Brother, what are you doing?¡± Lin Junfeng¡¯s cultivation was at the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, so he easily taking Lin Yan¡¯s blow. His eyes were filled with confusion. Lin Yan had epted his ten thousand spiritual stones, and he had just made a small request. Why did Lin Yan suddenly attack him? ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Lin Yan gripped the giant sword on his back and swung it at Li Junfeng. A horizontal sword light shed through the air. Li Junfeng barely dodged. In his heart, he thought: Indeed, he is the Holy Son¡¯s stepson. Junior Brother Lin, at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, can actually erupt with such a powerful attack. The sword strike just now would have been difficult for even someone at the Seventh stage of Foundation Establishment to unleash! ¡°Lin Junior Brother, wait, let¡¯s talk!¡± Li Junfeng hurriedly said. However, Lin Yan¡¯s anger had beenpletely ignited. For more than half a year, he had been forcibly suppressing it. Every time he thought of how Yang Chen, that bastard, had actually married his mother, he was consumed with anger. During this half year, he had umted countless grievances. Today, Li Junfeng¡¯s words ignited it all with a single sentence about you being recognized as the Holy Son¡¯s stepson. He had to vent it out. His way of venting was to kill Li Junfeng! Lin Yan wielded his giant sword with all his might, striking continuously. He often ventured outside, and had killed and plundered many times. His attacks were extremely fierce. Sword lights shed through the air. Although Li Junfeng had the cultivation of the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, he knew that the Holy Son had once said that whoever dealt with Lin Yan would have to face him. So, he dared not harm Lin Yan and could only keep evading. At this moment. On the Holy Son Peak. Many people felt the battle at the foot of the mountain. ¡°How dare you, the Holy Son Peak is one of the nine main peaks of the sect, and violence is strictly prohibited! Moreover, today is the Holy Son¡¯s daughter¡¯s full moon banquet, a day of great joy for our Xuantian Sect! Who is so bold?¡± An elder spoke up. At this moment, Li Junfeng, who was being chased by Lin Yan, began to fly towards the Holy Son Peak. Lin Yan, with bloodshot eyes, would not stop until he killed Li Junfeng. Regardless of anything else, he chased after him with his sword. The two flew to the Holy Son Peak, one after the other. ¡°How dare you! You even dare toe towards the Holy Son Peak! ¡°Yong¡¯er, go and capture these two!¡± An elder in the Nascent realm said to the disciple beside him. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± A young man in a brocade robe immediately took action. Two golden chains of light appeared in the sky, entwining and capturing Li Junfeng and Lin Yan who were chasing each other. When theynded on the ground, everyone realized that one of them was Lin Yan. ¡°You two, how dare you fight on the Holy Son Peak, do you know what crime that is?¡± The elder in the Nascent Soul realm said sternly. Lin Yan also calmed down at this moment. He had only been focused on chasing Li Junfeng, forgetting that this was the Holy Son Peak. He looked up and happened to see his mother, Lin Xn. She was standing next to Yang Chen, that scoundrel, with delicate makeup, looking at him nervously. She was still holding a child in her arms, and a little boy was standing beside her unsteadily. Humph! Lin Yan turned his head away, refusing to look at her. On the side, Li Junfeng, seeing the elder getting angry, also remembered that fighting on the Holy Son Peak was a serious crime. He hurriedly said: ¡°Elder, disciple didn¡¯t initiate the fight on the Holy Son Peak! The disciple was ordered by the Master to inform the Holy Son that the Sect Master spected that there is a treasure in the Red Cloud Mountain Range fifty thousand miles to the southeast. He asked the Holy Son to lead a team to investigate! ¡°However, when the disciple met Junior Brother Lin Yan at the foot of the mountain, he just wanted to say hello to him. Who knew that he would say that he is the Holy Son¡¯s stepson and that when the Holy Son inherits the position of the Sect Master, he will be the new Holy Son, asking the disciple to show respect to him in advance! ¡°The disciple thought it was fine, so he gave him ten thousand spiritual stones! But Junior Brother Lin Yan said it was too little and asked me to get another ten thousand! The disciple is just an ordinary inner sect disciple, where can I get more! Junior Brother Lin Yan got angry and then chased me with a sword! The disciple had no choice but to escape all the way to the Holy Son Peak. Please, Holy Son and elders, help me!¡± Li Junfeng said with tears and snot. Suddenly, many people present looked at Lin Yan with indignation. Many of them had participated in thest wedding and didn¡¯t have a good impression of Lin Yan back then. At that time, this guy had insulted the Holy Son. Now, he had gone so far as to forcibly extort spiritual stones from fellow disciples of the same sect. Shameful! Odious! Immediately, someone stood up indignantly and said: ¡°Your Highness, although Lin Yan is your stepson, his behavior is too despicable. I think you should punish him properly to serve as a warning!¡± ¡°Yes, Your Highness, Lin Yan not only disregards his elders, but also openly extorts spiritual stones from fellow disciples, which is outrageous!¡± ¡°Yes, Your Highness, this behavior is too bad. If not dealt with, it may chill the hearts of the sect¡¯s disciples!¡± ¡°As you are the Holy Son, the leader of the younger generation of the sect, you cannot favor and shield him just because Lin Yan is your stepson!¡± Chapter 18 - He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child! Chapter 18 - He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child! Chapter 18 ¡ª He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child! This? Yang Chen was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect such a situation to arise. To be honest, Yang Chen didn¡¯t quite believe that Lin Yan would use his status as a stepson to extort wealth from someone. After all, Lin Yan was the Son of Destiny, with his own pride. The original work clearly described his character. Even if he were to directly kill and rob, he wouldn¡¯t admit to being his stepson! Heh heh. But it didn¡¯t matter. Since the matter hase up, I, as the stepfather, should deal with it properly. He should try to solidify the rtionship between him and Lin Yan as stepfather and stepson. ¡°Yan¡¯er, is what Li Junfeng said true?¡± Yang Chen asked in a deep voice. Upon hearing this, Lin Yan¡¯s gaze once again locked onto Yang Chen. There was a surge of killing intent in his eyes. How much he wanted to rush up and p Yang Chen to death! However, his master refused to intervene in this matter. And he himself did not have the strength. Damn it! The damn bastard! Lin Yan gritted his teeth. Then he turned his head and red fiercely at Li Junfeng. This bastard is really good at twisting the truth. Clearly, he took the initiative to bribe me, wanting me to help him be a core disciple. Now, he¡¯s turning the tables. Bastard. This Xuantian Sect is really rotten to the core. I will destroy this damn sect sooner orter. Lin Yan wanted to exin. But when he saw Yang Chen standing with his mother, taking on the role of an elder and talking to him in an inquiring manner. He was immediately furious. Apart from cursing Yang Chen¡¯s entire family, he didn¡¯t want to say a word to Yang Chen. Moreover, Lin Yan felt that Li Junfeng was likely sent by Yang Chen to deliberately provoke him! Just to create such a scene. To make him answer questions obediently as a stepson! Damn it, Yang Chen, don¡¯t even think about it! I won¡¯t be fooled by you! ¡°Master, if I want to leave by force, can you help me make it happen?¡± Lin Yanmunicated with his master in his heart. A gentle voice sounded: ¡°Chen¡¯er, of course I can do that! Although Xuantian Sect has several Soul Transformation realm cultivators, they won¡¯t intervene in such a small matter! Besides, even if Soul Transformation realm cultivators intervene, they won¡¯t be able to stop me if I¡¯m determined to leave!¡± ¡°Good!¡± A smirk appeared at the corner of Lin Yan¡¯s mouth. Since he could leave at any time, he had nothing to worry about. If Yang Chen wanted to deal with him over this matter. Heh heh, that¡¯s just perfect. At that time, when he revealed his master¡¯s strength at the Soul Transformation realm, he would blind these people! Lin Yan thought triumphantly, then turned around and took a pill to start recovering. He had expended quite a bit of energy in his anger just now. Seeing Lin Yan remain silent and calmly take the pill, the people around him became even more angry. This bastard, hepletely ignores all of us. Everyone said: ¡°Holy Son, Lin Yan is too arrogant and disregards the rules of our Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°Since Lin Yan is not speaking, it means he agrees!¡± ¡°Please, Holy Son punish Lin Yan!¡± ¡°Please, Holy Son punish Lin Yan!¡± The elders and disciples were all excited. They had long been disgusted with Lin Yan. He was just a Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, but he acted like he was the best. He even flirted with Fairy Xueyan every day. He really doesn¡¯t know his ce. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was the Holy Son¡¯s stepson, he would have been dead long ago. On the side, Lin Xn listened to Li Junfeng¡¯s narration and the indignation of the surrounding crowd, coupled with Lin Yan¡¯s silent attitude, which was equivalent to acquiescence. She suddenly felt her face burning with shame. Her son, he actually used his stepfather¡¯s status to openly demand benefits from others! If the other party didn¡¯t give it, he would kill them! How could he do this? How could she have raised such a son! It was really embarrassing! She wanted to turn and leave. But Lin Yan was her son, whom she had raised for twenty years. How could she, as a mother, really ignore it? She had long been familiar with the rules of the Xuantian Sect. During this period of time, as the wife of the Holy Son, thinking about being the virtuous helper of her husband in the future, she long studied it. While fighting among the nine major peaks was a serious offense, the punishment could be light or severe, and the sentencing was quite flexible. However, extorting wealth from fellow disciples was a serious crime. It seriously tarnished the sect¡¯s reputation. It needed to be dealt with seriously. Light punishment could lead to ten years of imprisonment! Heavy punishment could lead to the destruction of cultivation and expulsion from the sect! Thinking of the consequences, Lin Xn quickly touched Yang Chen¡¯s arm. Yang Chen turned his head. Seeing Lin Xn¡¯s hopeful and worried look, heforted her: ¡°Wife, rest assured, I know what to do!¡± Yang Chen gently patted her soft hand. Signaling her to rx. ¡°Everyone, Yan¡¯er is my stepson. He has made a mistake, and I, as the Holy Son, will naturally not cover for him! However, Yan¡¯er has been stuck at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm recently, so his temperament is a bit restless. He acted impulsively and made such a mistake! Let¡¯s do this, Li Junfeng!¡± Yang Chen looked at Li Junfeng, who was wiping away tears. ¡°Holy Son, I¡¯m here!¡± Li Junfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. Yang Chen looked at him, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. He could tell at a nce that Li Junfeng was pretending. This guy was definitely an old hand in the inner sect. ¡°Li Junfeng, it was wrong of Lin Yan to demand ten thousand spirit stones from you and even to attack you. As his stepfather, I apologize to you on behalf of Lin Yan! So, I willpensate you with thirty thousand spirit stones! Just consider it as you giving me face, and let¡¯s not pursue this matter, okay?¡± ¡°What!?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes. The Holy Son, was trying to settle things with money! Isn¡¯t this still covering for Lin Yan, his stepson? ¡°Holy Son, this is inappropriate! Issues regarding principles and rules cannot bepromised. No matter what the reason, Lin Yan cannot extort wealth from fellow disciples! By doing this, you are clearly covering up for him!¡± An elder stood up and spoke. Yang Chen looked embarrassed: ¡°Elder Zhao, can you consider this as giving me face? Just this once, it won¡¯t happen again! If hemits such an offense again in the future, as his stepfather, I will definitely not spare him! Just this once! After all, he is just a twenty-year-old child!¡± Chapter 19 - You only Take Care of the Children, When Was the Last Time You Took Care of Me? Chapter 19 - You only Take Care of the Children, When Was the Last Time You Took Care of Me? Chapter 19 ¡ª You only Take Care of the Children, When Was the Last Time You Took Care of Me? Lin Yan, who was recovering his own true qi, heard Yang Chen¡¯s words. He is still a twenty-year-old-child. Immediately, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. Bastard. Yang Chen, you damn bastard. You feel proud of yourself, don¡¯t you? You will pay for this. I will kill you one day! And your two little bastards will die too! ¡°This?¡± Elder Zhao really wanted to say, ¡°He¡¯s just twenty years old! What kind of child is he? He has cultivated to the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm!¡± But an elder next to him pulled him back. ¡°Alright, Elder Zhao, have you forgotten? The Holy Son is no longer at the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. His current realm is at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm. Can you, an elder at the Nascent Soul realm, criticize him? Aren¡¯t you afraid that after he bes the sect master, he will make things difficult for you?¡± Elder Zhao was taken aback by these words. Then he quickly shut up. Seeing that Elder Zhao did not oppose, Yang Chen looked towards Li Junfeng. ¡°Li Junfeng, what do you think?¡± Li Junfeng was indeed a sly old fox from the Inner Sect. He nced around and immediately said, ¡°Holy Son is right. I am also at fault! I am willing to forgive Junior Brother Lin Yan!¡± ¡°Very good!¡± Yang Chen looked at him with satisfaction. This kid has a good eye. Seeing this, everyone around couldn¡¯t help but sigh. It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with the way Yang Chen handled Lin Yan. But there was nothing they could do about it. After all, Lin Yan was the Holy Son¡¯s stepson! Didn¡¯t you see that even the parties involved have forgiven him! Yang Chen looked at Lin Yan again and reprimanded in a deep voice, ¡°Yan¡¯er, what happened today will not happen again! In the future, if there are not enough spirit stones, you can ask your father for them! But you must never use such means again! If there is another time, your father will not spare you lightly! Remember that?¡± ¡°Yang Chen, you damn!¡± When Lin Yan heard this, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Yang Chen, this damn thief is going too far! With raging anger in his heart, Lin Yan wanted to stand up and fight Yang Chen. But because he was too angry, the raging true qi contained in the pill suddenly lost control and ran wild in his body. Cough! He spat out a mouthful of blood directly. Then, he fainted. ¡°Yan¡¯er!¡± Lin Xn eximed in shock. Yang Chen originally wanted to fulfill his duty as a stepfather and wanted to go over to check on him. But he was worried that Lin Yan was pretending. So he signalled to the Elder ck next to him. Elder ck helped Lin Yan up and said, ¡°Master, he¡¯s fine! He fainted due to an attack of rage!¡± ¡°I see! Elder ck, please help me alleviate Yan¡¯er¡¯s injuries! ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Wife, Yan¡¯er is fine!¡± Yang Chen turned around andforted Lin Xn. ¡°Husband, thank you! Yan¡¯er has caused you trouble!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s eyes were teary. Her husband had really done too much for her. ording to the sect¡¯s rules, Yan¡¯er should be locked up for at least ten years for extorting his fellow disciples. But her husband only gave him a warning. This kind of behavior has greatly reduced the authority of her husband, the Holy Son. s. Yan¡¯er, oh Yan¡¯er. You should cause less trouble in the future! [Ding, Host has talked down, repeatedly referred to himself as a stepfather, reprimanded Lin Yan! Lin Yan¡¯s state of mind bes erratic, consumed by an attack of rage, state of mind damaged. You have plundered the Son of Destiny Lin Yan¡¯s Providence Luck by 500 points! Host is rewarded 500 VPs!] Huh? Yang Chen raised his eyebrows. Not bad, not bad. He has once again hit Lin Yan¡¯s mentality. And he gained 500 Viinous Points. Very clever, very clever. At this time, an elder said, ¡°Holy Son, the sect master has ordered you to lead a team to the Red Cloud Mountain Range fifty thousand miles southeast. When will you depart?¡± ¡°The Red Cloud Mountain Range!¡± Yang Chen pondered. Then he said, ¡°Let¡¯s leave in three days!¡± In the original work, this part of the plot was one of the climaxes. The treasure that appeared in the Red Cloud Mountain Range was not an ordinary treasure. The Primordial Fire! The most precious thing in the whole world! In the original work, Lin Yan obtained that Primordial Fire, and after refining it, he directly ascended to the Golden Core realm. Moreover, the cultivation technique that Lin Yan practiced requires the fusion of the Primordial Fire to improve its grade. In other words, as long as he fuses enough Primordial Fire, the grade of his cultivation technique can continue to increase. In the original work, after Lin Yan fused this Primordial Fire, the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increased by more than ten times. This Primordial Fire was a watershed moment in Lin Yan¡¯s transformation from weak to strong in the original work. So, Yang Chen absolutely couldn¡¯t let him get his hands on it. Moreover, as a father, he too wanted it. Lin Yan, as a stepson, should just give up! Hehe! The banquet ended. At this time, Lin Yan was lying on the ck Ice tform in a pce. Lin Xn was snuggled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, her face full of worry as she asked, ¡°Husband, will Yan¡¯er be alright?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wife!¡± Yang Chen said softly, ¡°Yan¡¯er just had a sudden rush of anger, causing his true qi to run wild. He just fainted temporarily! Elder ck has already helped him smooth out his true qi. He will wake up soon!¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, husband!¡± Lin Xn nestled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, full of gratitude in her voice. But Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but p her arse. ¡°You¡¯re looking for a beating!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still so polite with your husband!¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯re so annoying!¡± Lin Xn blushed instantly. Since Lin Xn started to cultivate, even if it¡¯s just for half a month, the nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had made her much more beautiful than before. Now, Lin Xn¡¯s skin can be said to be tender and delicate, as if it could be broken by a light blow, even better than that of an eighteen-year-old girl. Her eyes are also bright and full of autumn colors. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a warmth in his heart as he looked at his wife. During this half month, Lin Xn had either been practicing cultivation or feeding Yang Can, that little girl. In her spare time, she also had to coax Yang Chi to sleep. To be honest, the two of them hadn¡¯t had any intimate moments for five or six days. ¡°Wife!¡± Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but embrace her tightly, with great strength. ¡°You¡¯ve been taking care of the children these past few days. How long has it been since you took care of me?¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯re so annoying, Husband!¡± Lin Xn naturally knew what he meant, and her cheeks flushed instantly. She lightly tapped his chest and said softly, ¡°Tonight, after I put Chi¡¯er and Can Can to sleep, I¡¯lle find you!¡± ¡°That¡¯s settled then. Oh, wear the outfit I gave you!¡± ¡°Ugh, I know!¡± Lin Xn pouted coquettishly. ¡°Wife, I have some things to take care of, so I won¡¯t be staying with you to apany Yan¡¯er!¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°Okay, Husband, go take care of your business!¡± Lin Xn replied softly. Just as Yang Chen was about to leave the pce, the system¡¯s voice came again: [Ding, the host had an affectionate conversation with Lin Xn, a pillow talk. Lin Yan¡¯s mental state was damaged greatly, plundering Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny of 800 points of Providence luck. Rewarding the host with 800 VPs!] ¡°Oh, my God!¡± Yang Chen was stunned. He quickly turned around and looked back at the pce. Was Lin Yan awake? Chapter 20 - Soul-Enhancing Pill, Sacrifice for the Holy Son! Chapter 20 - Soul-Enhancing Pill, Sacrifice for the Holy Son! Chapter 20 ¡ª Soul-Enhancing Pill, Sacrifice for the Holy Son! Yang Chen was surprised. Damn it. Junior Brother Lin Yan. You woke up and didn¡¯t even say a word! Really. How embarrassing! But. As your stepfather, the things I said to your mother in secret, you, a child, shouldn¡¯t understand, right? Hehe! A yful smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s lips. Just by saying some secret words to Lin Xn, he was able to plunder 800 points of providence luck from Lin Yan. This was if ¡­ Sigh. I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it. ¡­ Yang Chen arrived at his cultivation pce. ¡°System, I want to exchange!¡± [Host, you currently have a total of 4300 VPs. What would you like to exchange them for?] ¡°Do you have any pills that can help cultivators break through to the Soul Transformation stage?¡± Yang Chen asked. [Host. Yes. there is one. The pill is called the Soul-Enhancing Pill. After consuming it, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator can increase their chances of breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm by more than 50%! It costs 1000 VPs for one!] ¡°1000 VPs? Although it¡¯s not as expensive as the Heaven-grade spiritual roots, it¡¯s still not cheap!¡± Yang Chen sighed and said: ¡°Exchange for two!¡± [Host, exchange sessful. Consumed 2000 VPs to exchange for two Soul-Enhancing Pills!] Two vials appeared in Yang Chen¡¯s hand. Opening them. A white light appeared. ¡°Such a strong soul strength!¡± Yang Chen was somewhat amazed. It seems that the main function of the Soul-Enhancing Pill was to enhance the soul strength of a peak Nascent Soul realm cultivator, thereby helping them break through to the Soul Transformation stage. After all, the main requirement for reaching the Soul Transformation stage was to have a strong enough soul strength to condense a powerful Divine Soul and ovee the Heavenly Tribtion. While Nascent Soul cultivators also start cultivating soul strength. However, the cultivation of soul strength was slower than the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Therefore, many peak Nascent Soul cultivators found it difficult to break through in their lifetime and reach the Soul Transformation realm. The reason why Yang Chen spent 2000 VPs to exchange for two Soul-Enhancing Pills was to help Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao break through. After all, as a viin, he couldn¡¯t do everything himself, nor could he fight alone. Subordinates need to be cultivated. Moreover, Lin Yan¡¯s mysterious master was capable of erupting with the power of the Soul Transformation realm. It¡¯s fine at Xuantian Sect, where the other party dares not act. But if they go to the Red Cloud Mountain Range. There¡¯s no guarantee that the other party won¡¯t take desperate measures and suddenly attack him. With only peak Nascent Soul cultivation, he was no match for Lin Yan¡¯s master. So, Yang Chen had to help Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao also enter the Soul Transformation realm. After sending a message to the two of them. ¡°Holy Son!¡± Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao appeared in front of Yang Chen, both wearing ck robes. In the novel, they were described like this to highlight an ominous and viinous feeling. Elder ck was a dry faced old man, wearing a ck robe. Ye Yuxiao was a beautiful woman. Even portrayed her as such. ¡°Elder ck, Sister Yuxiao, these are two Soul-Enhancing Pills! After a peak Nascent Soul realm cultivator consumes them, their chances of breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage will increase by more than 50%! You two have been immersed in the peak Nascent Soul realm for hundreds of years. I believe that after taking them, you will be able to break through!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Both of them were shocked. Soul-Enhancing Pills? As peak Nascent Soul realm cultivators, they naturally had heard of this kind of pill. After consuming it, they could basically break through to the Soul Transformation stage. But. The Soul-Enhancing Pill was an extremely precious pill! It was unavable even in the Xuantian Sect! Where did the Holy Son get it from? ¡°Holy Son, where did you get this Soul-Enhancing Pill from?¡± Elder ck asked. Yang Chen waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that! You just need to refine it and break through to the Soul Transformation realm as soon as possible! Elder ck, you are injured and can take your time in breaking through! Sister Yuxiao, you have reached the limit of the Nascent Soul realm very early. You just need to enhance your soul strength with the Soul-Enhancing Pill. It¡¯s best to break through as soon as possible. Three dayster,e with me to the Red Cloud Mountain Range!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The two of them bowed and saluted. Both were extremely excited. Especially Elder ck. He had been stuck at the peak Nascent Soul realm for over a hundred years. Because of his previous injuries that affected his soul, he had been unable to condense his Divine Soul to break through to the Soul Transformation stage. Originally, he thought that he would never have the chance to reach the Soul Transformation realm in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, the Holy Son had given him a Soul-Enhancing Pill. Giving him hope once again to step into the Soul Transformation realm. In the future, he must devote himself to the Holy Son! Ye Yuxiao waspletely covered in a ck robe, and her face couldn¡¯t be seen. But her voice was extremely excited: ¡°Holy Son, I will start working on the breakthrough right away! With this Soul-Enhancing Pill, I will definitely be able to break through to the Soul Transformation stage within three days!¡± ¡­ At this moment. In another pce. Lin Yan opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with fierce anger. As if he wanted to devour someone. Chapter 21 - I鈥檒l Tell My Dad to Kill You! Chapter 21 - I¡¯ll Tell My Dad to Kill You! Chapter 21 ¡ª I¡¯ll Tell My Dad to Kill You! ¡°Yan¡¯er, you¡¯re awake!¡± Lin Xn saw Lin Yan wake up, her expression pleasantly surprised. She hurried forward, wanting to help him up. However, Lin Yan¡¯s expression was cold and indifferent. He pushed her hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Seeing him like this, Lin Xn sighed helplessly and said, ¡°Yan¡¯er, your mother and father truly love each other! I hope you can understand your mother! When I was tormented by the yin poison, it was your father who continuously detoxified me for a month without interruption. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t even see your mother! And, we are of simr age and background!¡± ¡°Alright, stop talking!¡± Lin Yan angrily interrupted, his expression ferocious, ¡°I will kill Yang Chen sooner orter! I will definitely kill him, smash his body into pieces, and scatter his bones!¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er, you!¡± Lin Xn was startled by Lin Yan¡¯s fierce appearance, and then anger rose in her heart. ¡°Yan¡¯er, you really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you! Your father, for your sake, disregarded the rules of the sect and absolved you in front of everyone! Why are you still so unreasonable? What deep hatred do you have with him that you hold such a grudge!?¡± Lin Xn scolded coldly. Lin Yan just snorted, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish. At this moment, a small and cute figure staggered in, calling out in a childish voice, ¡°Mother!¡± Lin Xn immediately turned around, her face softened, revealing a loving smile. ¡°Chi¡¯er! Come, let mother hug you!¡± Lin Xn hugged Yang Chi. ¡°Chi¡¯er, look who this is?¡± Lin Xn pointed at Lin Yan and said, hoping that through Yang Chi, Lin Yan¡¯s hatred towards Yang Chen would decrease a bit, easing the rtionship. Yang Chi¡¯s big ck eyes looked Lin Yan up and down, then he said in a childish voice, ¡°Mother, he¡¯s so ugly!¡± ¡°You little brat, how dare you!¡± Lin Yan immediately became angry. He directly pped Yang Chi on his face. Lin Xn hurriedly retreated with Yang Chi in her arms. ¡°Lin Yan, are you crazy!?¡± Lin Xn couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. A child over a year-old, who was just learning to speak, whose mind was still developing, said he was ugly in passing. And he was so ruthless towards him? Was this still her Yan¡¯er? When did he be so cruel? No wonder the elders and disciples didn¡¯t like him. He was so heavy-handed even towards his own younger brother, let alone others. ¡°Wah wah! Mother, he hit me! I¡¯ll tell my daddy to kill you!¡± Yang Chi said in a childish voice. Saying that, he tried to break free from Lin Xn¡¯s arms. ¡°Chi¡¯er, what are you doing!¡± Lin Xn felt a headacheing on. These two sons, neither of them was easy to deal with. This little guy, who did he learn this from recently? Always saying, ¡®I¡¯ll tell my daddy to kill you!¡¯ ¡°Alright, alright, Chi¡¯er, don¡¯t cry! Mother will take you to see daddy?¡± Yang Chi cried loudly, and Lin Xn had tofort him quickly. ¡°Mm!¡± Yang Chi nodded his small head immediately. ¡°Go see my daddy and ask my daddy to kill him!¡± Lin Xn felt a headache. The meeting between these two brothers was not pleasant. ¡°Lin Yan, behave yourself! You¡¯re too irritable now. You¡¯re so fierce even to your own brother!¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Lin Xn said coldly to him, then directly carried Yang Chi out of the pce. Lin Yan did not stay here for long. He was worried that he would lose control and kill that little brat. His teeth haven¡¯t milking yet, and he dares challenge me! It¡¯s not that he couldn¡¯t bear to do it. But because he was worried that if he killed that damn little brat now, that old bastard Yang Chen wouldn¡¯t let him off. After all, within the Xuantian Sect, he was still no match for Yang Chen. He still needed to endure. Wait. Wait until he went to the Red Cloud Mountain Range. It will be the time you die, Yang Chen, you dog thief! At night. After coaxing Yang Chi and Yang Can to sleep, Lin Xn came to Yang Chen¡¯s room. Her hair was wet, obviously she had taken a bath, and her body was fragrant. She was wearing a white semi-transparent gauze dress. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible. The dress was very short, showing off her long, and supple thighs. Yang Chen was immediately captivated. ¡°Husband, this dress is too thin, too embarrassing!¡± Lin Xn coquettishlyined, then willingly fell into Yang Chen¡¯s arms. ¡°It¡¯s just the two of us, husband and wife, what¡¯s there to be embarrassed about!¡± Yang Chen hugged her tightly, feeling the soft warmth of her body, and suddenly remembered Lin Yan, so he asked, ¡°Today, I had some things to deal with and didn¡¯t have time to chat with Yan¡¯er! How did your conversation go with him?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Xn frowned slightly. ¡°Yan¡¯er, he¡¯s changed so much, sigh, he¡¯s changed so much since these few years after he started to cultivate! I¡¯ve hardly seen him at all! Now, Yan¡¯er feels like a different person! ¡°I can hardly recognize that fierce appearance!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s voice was sad and lonely. Yang Chenforted, ¡°Alright, Yan¡¯er is only twenty years old, still a child, a little rebellion is normal!¡± ¡°He will understand you in the future!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just afraid he¡¯ll cause trouble!¡± Lin Xn said helplessly. ¡°Cause trouble?¡± Yang Chen said confidently, ¡°He is my stepson after all! Even if he causes trouble, so what! Who dares to do anything to him?¡± ¡°Ah, husband, don¡¯t shelter him like this in the future!¡± Lin Xn immediately scolded, but her eyes were full of gratitude. Her husband was really too good to her. He was so tolerant towards Yan¡¯er. Yan¡¯er, oh Yan¡¯er, why don¡¯t you know how to be grateful? Feeling her pure and delicate body, Yang Chen said softly, ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving the Xuantian Sect in a few days, and we won¡¯t see each other for a long time! Wife, do you want tofort me in advance?¡± Lin Xn buried her head in Yang Chen¡¯s chest and whispered, ¡°How do you want me tofort you?¡± Yang Chen smiled slightly, patting her head gently, tucking the loose strands of hair behind her ears. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Hateful!¡± Lin Xn coquettishly said, charmingly rolling her eyes at Yang Chen. Then. ¡°Hiss!¡± Yang Chen took a sharp breath. Chapter 22 - Flame Empress! Lin Yan鈥檚 Chance! Chapter 22 - me Empress! Lin Yan¡¯s Chance! Chapter 22 ¡ª me Empress! Lin Yan¡¯s Chance! A few dayster. A flying spirit boat departed from the Xuantian Sect, flying above the vast sea of clouds. The flying spirit boat was quiterge, with enough space to amodate hundreds of people in its many rooms. In one of the rooms, Lin Yan sat cross-legged. He did not choose to travel alone but instead decided to go with the disciples of the Xuantian Sect. After all, the journey of fifty thousand miles would be too time-consuming if he travelled alone. Knowing that Lin Yan was going with them, Yang Chen specially arranged a private room for him. At this moment, Lin Yan¡¯s face was filled with excitement. ¡°Master, I have already prepared all the materials for refining and merging the Primordial Fire! Now, I am just waiting to collect it! Master, if the Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art absorbs the Primordial Fire, what level can it be raised to?¡± As Lin Yan spoke, a phantom appeared in front of him. ¡°Though her figure was illusory, she was nevertheless alluring and graceful, with a sexy and slender body that exuded an air of charm.¡± ¡°Master, why are you here? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being discovered by others?¡± Lin Yan asked in confusion. Because when he was in the Xuantian Sect, his master onlymunicated with him but never appeared in person, fearing being discovered. But even as he said this, his eyes were fixed on the enchanting figure of his master in front of him. He couldn¡¯t help but gulp. A touch of heat shed in his eyes. Master is so beautiful. If he could rebuild his body for his master in the future, perhaps there could be something between them. Heh heh. Lin Yan couldn¡¯t help but fantasize. ¡°After leaving the Xuantian Sect, without those Soul Transformation cultivators, others won¡¯t be able to discover Master!¡± The voice of the phantom was soft and confident. She was known as the me Empress. When she dominated the heaven and earth, cultivators at the Soul Transformation Realm were nothing more than ants in her eyes. The me Empress continued: ¡°Although the Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art is not of high grade, it can merge with the Primordial Fire, continuously improving it! There are a total of one hundred and eight Primordial Fires on the list. Even if you merge with the lowest-ranked Primordial Fire, it can greatly improve the grade of the Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art! At that time, the speed by which you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be enhanced by at least seven or eight times, or even more than ten times!¡± ¡°So exaggerated!?¡± Lin Yan was also stunned. His current speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already very fast. Otherwise, he would not have reached the Fourth stage of Foundation Building realm in just a few years. If his absorption speed increases by more than ten times, his cultivation speed would simply be terrifying. By then, the Golden Core realm, and even the Nascent Soul realm, would be within his reach. ¡°Yan¡¯er, this time, there should be more than just the Xuantian Sect heading to the Red Cloud Mountains! With a distance of 50,000 miles, if the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect can sense it, then other sects should be able to as well. They will probably send their disciples to investigate too! So, you must be careful!¡± The me Empress cautioned. But Lin Yan didn¡¯t care. ¡°No need to worry, Master. No matter how many people there are, they are destined to make a wasted trip! I have a feeling that this Primordial Fire is meant for me!¡± Lin Yan was extremely confident. However, the me Empress couldn¡¯t help but furrow her brow. This disciple of hers was bing more and more arrogant. Ever since she told him that he could unleash the power of the Soul Transformation realm, he, a cultivator at a mere Fourth stage of Foundation Building realm, did not put the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul realm in his eyes. Sigh. ¡°Master, when we get to the Red Cloud Mountains, I want to take the opportunity to kill Yang Chen! Can you help me?¡± Lin Yan suddenly said, with a hint of fierceness in his expression. The me Empress¡¯s brow furrowed even deeper. She had witnessed everything that had happened to Lin Yan during this time. She felt that Lin Yan¡¯s obsession was too deep and that he had a deep bias against Yang Chen. From a female perspective, she could see that Lin Yan¡¯s mother, Lin Xn, genuinely liked Yang Chen. And, she was brimming with happiness and affection. This was not a pretense. ¡°Yan¡¯er, if you kill Yang Chen, your mother will hate you. What will you do then?¡± The me Empress asked. A hint of cruelty shed across Lin Yan¡¯s face. ¡°Hmph, she¡¯s just been deceived by that scoundrel Yang Chen! After I kill Yang Chen, she will naturallye to her senses!¡± Sigh! The me Empress couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Master, do you disagree?¡± Lin Yan immediately asked. The me Empress furrowed her brow and said, ¡°Yan¡¯er, as a woman, I can tell that your mother really likes Yang Chen. She is very happy! As a son, you should also consider your mother¡¯s feelings!¡± ¡°Enough, Master!¡± Lin Yan interrupted in a deep voice. ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear these words! Yang Chen must die. He and I are irreconcble!¡± Sigh! The me Empress did not speak, only sighed in her heart. Killing Yang Chen, how easy would that be? There were some things she did not say directly to Lin Yan, fearing that it would once again strike him hard. After all, he had already been so anxious that he spat blood and fainted once before. Yang Chen was able to reach the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm in a short period of time, and his cultivation was extremely solid, without any ws. The opportunities he had gained were definitely not simple. How could one simply kill such a person? Two dayster. The spirit boat arrived at the Red Cloud City next to the Red Cloud Mountains. Originally, there were only more than ten Golden Core cultivators in Red Cloud City. Each Golden Core cultivator was a hegemon in the city. However, in the past few days, these Golden Core cultivators were trembling one after another. One flying spirit boat after anothernded in Red Cloud City. The Golden Core cultivators who walked out of them were countless. Moreover, all of them looked young. At a nce, they were the top figures of major sects, not to be trifled with. As the top power in the Northern Spiritual Realm, the Xuantian Sect¡¯s reputation preceded them. After the flying spirit boatsnded, the lord of Red Cloud City immediately rushed over. ¡°I am the lord of Red Cloud City. I have seen the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect! I invite the friends from the Xuantian Sect toe to the lord¡¯s mansion. I have prepared amodations for you to stay!¡± Although the lord of Red Cloud City was a cultivator at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm, he kept a low profile. Yang Chen nced at him. In the original work, this lord of Red Cloud City was an insignificant character. However, his lord¡¯s mansion held a stroke of luck that belonged to Lin Yan. In the original work, Lin Yan saw a little girl in the lord¡¯s mansion. She was a new ve bought by the lord¡¯s mansion, responsible for cleaning. However, this little ve was not simple. She possessed a very powerful physique. This was discovered by Lin Yan¡¯s master, the me Empress. So Lin Yan bought her andter she became a member of Lin Yan¡¯s harem, not to mention a powerful helper for him. Heh heh. But now. This stroke of luck was taken by his stepfather. Chapter 23 - Qinger, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique, Call Me Brother! Chapter 23 - Qing''er, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique, Call Me Brother! Chapter 23 ¡ª Qing¡¯er, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique, Call Me Brother! The Red Cloud City Lord¡¯s mansion was extremelyrge, resembling a secr pce. There were countless buildings, pavilions, and towers. This was not surprising. Although the Red Cloud City¡¯s lord was called the city lord, his strength at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm was stronger than many town-level cultivators in secr countries. Red Cloud City was backed by the Red Cloud Mountains. He was even wealthier. The lord of Red Cloud City arranged a very luxurious pce for Yang Chen, which was nine stories high and offered a panoramic view of the city lord¡¯s mansion. In addition, there were dozens of slender and beautiful women. ¡°Your Highness, these women are all virgins, all chaste and untouched! They have long admired Your Highness and all want to catch a glimpse of your noble appearance!¡± The lord of Red Cloud City¡¯s was full of ttery. For him, the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect was an important figure he dared not look directly at. If he could please this Young Master, he wouldn¡¯t mind offering him even his wife. As long as the Young Master didn¡¯t mind her age. Yang Chen scanned the women. Although they were all very beautiful and slim, but they were a far cry from Lin Xn. Moreover, in the three days before he arrived, Lin Xn would put the child to sleep every night and thene to him. He was not very interested in this aspect now. ¡°City Lord, what forces have arrived?¡± Yang Chen asked in a deep voice. The lord of Red Cloud City immediately replied, ¡°Reporting to Your Highness, they are the Wind Thunder Sect, Rain Flower Valley, Blood de Sect, and other top powers! The rest are some weaker sects!¡± Listening to the report, Yang Chen frowned slightly. In the original work, because the entire story revolved around Lin Yan, the male protagonist, other forces weren¡¯t so detailed. But now, as the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect, he still needed to know about them. The Northern Spiritual Realm was vast, with countless sects and countries. But among them, only those with multiple Soul Transformation realm cultivators could be called top forces. The Xuantian Sect had seven elders and the sect master as its Soul Transformation realm cultivators, totaling eight. But the entire Northern Spiritual Realm knew that as an ancient sect that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, the Xuantian Sect definitely had more than these eight Soul Transformation level cultivators. The Wind Thunder Sect, Rain Flower Valley, and Blood de Sect were also top sects in the nearby area. However, they were neerspared to the Xuantian Sect and could notpare in fame to such an ancient force that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years. So, for thousands of years, these top forces often shed with the Xuantian Sect, wanting to use the Xuantian Sect to show off their strength. As the Young Master of the Xuantian Sect, this time, he not only needed to seize the Primordial Fire, but also to take the opportunity to suppress these top sects. The Primordial Fire had not yet appeared. All of a sudden, more than a dozen volcanoes were erupting one after another in the Red Cloud Mountains. Streams of colourful light surged out. These were all signs before the appearance of treasures. But only after more than a dozen volcanoes stopped erupting could they enter and explore them. Yang Chen stood on the viewing tform of the pce, overlooking the surrounding scenery. At this moment, a slender figure appeared in Yang Chen¡¯s line of sight. Wearing a somewhat ill-fitting in linen clothes, with a dirty face, a small body, but carrying arge bucket of water. Yang Chen saw her and his eyes lit up. Because this little girl matched the description of the little female ve in the lord¡¯s mansion in the original work. ¡°City Lord, go and call this little girl!¡± ¡°What, what?¡± The city lord was stunned. And also a little confused. He didn¡¯t understand why the dignified Young Master of the Xuantian Sect was interested in such a dirty little girl. ¡°Your Highness, this little girl is just a maid, do you want her?¡± Before he could finish, Yang Chen said coldly, ¡°You have too many questions! I told you to do something, so just do it!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± ¡°Your Highness, I¡¯ll go now!¡± Being scolded by Yang Chen, the city lord felt cold sweat breakout on his forehead. The pleasant conversation just now made him overlook the gap in status between them. This Young Master was someone he absolutely couldn¡¯t offend. Moreover, the aura emitted by this Young Master just now was even stronger than his! This Young Master seemed to be only forty years old! He actually had the strength of thete Golden Core stage! The Xuantian Sect was too terrifying. They could actually cultivate such a monster! The lord of Red Cloud City hurriedly went downstairs and brought the little girl up. ¡°Your Highness, I have brought the person!¡± The lord of Red Cloud City bowed. Yang Chen looked at the little girl standing in front of him, with a timid expression, and smiled warmly: ¡°Little girl, what is your name?¡± The little girl was startled when she heard Yang Chen¡¯s words, then whispered, ¡°This servant, this servant is Qing¡¯er!¡± ¡°Qing¡¯er, very good, very good!¡± Yang Chen looked somewhat excited. It was her. Qing¡¯er, the Pure Spirit Holy Physique that Lin Yan had found in the lord¡¯s mansion! The Pure Spirit Holy Physique was a physique without any impurities, and was close to the Heavenly Dao. Once she started cultivating, she would be like a favored child of heaven and earth, advancing rapidly in cultivation, without any barriers. As long as there was enough spiritual energy, she could directly break through realms. ¡°City lord, you can go down first, I have something to say to her alone!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll take my leave!¡± The lord of Red Cloud City didn¡¯t dare to hesitate and quickly responded. However, after leaving the pce, he couldn¡¯t help but look back. His eyes betraying his iprehension. This Young Master of the Xuantian Sect had a very special taste. He didn¡¯t like so many tall and beautiful women, but was interested in such a dirty little girl. He couldn¡¯t understand it at all. ¡°My lord, why did you call me here, what do you want me to do?¡± Qing¡¯er asked weakly, a little afraid of Yang Chen. Because, she saw how afraid the city lord was in front of him. ¡°Qing¡¯er, you don¡¯t have to call me a lord! In the future, how about calling me brother?¡± Yang Chen said with a smile. ¡°Ah!¡± Qing¡¯er was shocked. Her small face looked up; her big eyes full of surprise. She didn¡¯t understand why such an important figure that even the lord feared wanted her to call him brother. ¡°I dare not!¡± She was only surprised for a moment, then immediately knelt down on the ground. Yang Chen helped her up. ¡°Qing¡¯er, don¡¯t be afraid! You look a lot like a little sister of mine when I was young! So, I want to recognize you as my adopted younger sister. Is that okay? In the future, brother will take you to cultivate in the Xuantian Sect, and you won¡¯t have to do these hard chores anymore!¡± ¡°Really, really?¡± Qing¡¯er¡¯s big eyes flickered, somewhat in disbelief. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true! Call me ¡°Brother¡± quickly!¡± The little girl¡¯s small hands were entwined, and she said softly, ¡°Brother!¡± ¡°Well done!¡± Yang Chen patted her dirty little head and then ordered the maid beside him, ¡°Take my sister to take a bath and change her into clean clothes!¡± ¡°Yes, my lord!¡± The maid took the little girl and left the pce. [Ding, the host has taken the lead in finding the supporting female character Qing¡¯er, recognizing her as his younger sister, plundering the Providence Luck of Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, by 3000 points. Gaining the host 3000 points of Viinous Points!] Yang Chen¡¯s face lit up. Three thousand points of Providence Luck! She truly deserved to be a supporting female character in the book! I didn¡¯t expect to gain it so easily. At this time, two familiar figures caught Yang Chen¡¯s eye. It was Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan. ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, do you want to find the Red Cloud Grass in Red Cloud City, or should I go with you? Have you forgotten that I always seem have good luck in finding things!¡± Lin Yan licked his face and followed Shen Xueyan. But Shen Xueyan¡¯s face was a bit cold. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, don¡¯t follow me, I said I want to be alone!¡± ¡°Alone? Who is Alone, Senior Sister Xueyan?¡± Lin Yan pretended to be stupid and continued to follow Shen Xueyan. But he was full of doubts. Shen Xueyan had been acting strange recently, always wanting to keep her distance from him. She wasn¡¯t like this before. Yang Chen looked at this scene, a smile ying at the corner of his mouth. Junior Brother Lin Yan, you really look like apdog now. While your father took an opportunity to find you an aunt, I wonder if you¡¯ll be happy? Chapter 24 - Kicking the Iron Plate, Hes the Stepson of Our Saint! Chapter 24 - Kicking the Iron te, He''s the Stepson of Our Saint! Chapter 24 ¡ª Kicking the Iron te, He¡¯s the Stepson of Our Saint! ¡­ ¡°My lord, Miss Qing¡¯er has finished washing up!¡± Yang Chen watched the figures of Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan leaving, and heard the voice of the maid behind him. He turned around. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Qing¡¯er looked very different from before. The dirty little girl had be clean and pretty. However, shecked nutrition, her body was too thin, and herplexion was somewhat pallid. But from her delicate features, it was clear that this girl was definitely a beauty in the making. ¡°Brother, brother!¡± Qing¡¯er called softly. Her face was slightly blush, seeming a little embarrassed. Yang Chen smiled slightly, asked the maid to leave, and then took out a pill and handed it to her. ¡°Qing¡¯er, this is a Yuan Spirit Pill, it can improve your physique, so eat it quickly!¡± Qing¡¯er reached out her slightly rough hand, which was often used for chores, and took the pill. ¡°Thank you, brother!¡± ¡°Silly girl, why are you thanking your brother?¡± ¡°Hurry up and eat it!¡± Yang Chen said, patting her little head. ¡°Mm!¡± Qing¡¯er nodded heavily, her eyes showing some emotion. As an orphan since childhood, this was the first time she had felt cared for. Moreover, her brother¡¯s big hands were so warm. Qing¡¯er consumed the pill. Immediately, a white light radiated from her body. ¡°Brother, what¡¯s happening to Qing¡¯er? Why is my body glowing? And, my body feels a little warm!¡± Qing¡¯er hurriedly said. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Qing¡¯er, you have been malnourished for a long time, your physique is a bit weak, the pill brother gave you can restore your physique! Now, brother will impart a cultivation technique to you, and you can start cultivating!¡± As Yang Chen spoke, he pointed his finger at Qing¡¯er¡¯s forehead. A superior cultivation technique of the Xuantian Sect was imprinted in her mind. Qing¡¯er closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to cultivate. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards her body. Yang Chen watched for a while, his eyes showing some shock. Indeed, she was a Pure Spirit Holy Body, the speed at which she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was astonishing. And the most terrifying thing was that after Qing¡¯er absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she could directly fuse it. There was no need to refine it like other people. ¡­ Five days in a row, the volcanoes in the Red Cloud Mountains continued to erupt without stopping. ¡°Brother, Qing¡¯er has reached the Third Stage of Foundation Establishment!¡± Behind him, Qing¡¯er said cheerfully. Yang Chen turned around. Looking at Qing¡¯er, who had been nourished by spiritual energy, her skin was now fair, her eyes were bright and spirited, her eyshes were long, and two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making her lookpletely different from five days ago. Now, Qing¡¯er looked like a little fairy with an immortal aura. The Pure Spirit Holy Body was extremelypatible with the Heavenly Dao, and was favoured by the Heavenly Dao. So, as long as she started cultivating, her whole person would gradually merge with the Heavenly Dao, exuding an immortal-like aura. This was also an external characteristic of the Pure Spirit Holy Body. Moreover, perhaps due to the supplement of nutrients. The chest of this little girl had actually started to bulge. [TN/ED: WTF author??? (¨s¨F¡õ¡ä)¨s¦à©ß©¥©ß] ¡°Not bad, Qing¡¯er¡¯s cultivation speed is very fast! In the future, she will definitely be a great cultivator of heaven and earth! By then, brother might need you to protect him!¡± ¡°Really, brother?¡± Qing¡¯er¡¯s eyes sparkled with joy. Yang Chen patted her little head. Her ck hair was smooth and silky, without the coarseness like before. ¡°Of course, Qing¡¯er is very talented!¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± ¡°In the future, when I be a great cultivator, I will protect brother! Whoever dares to offend brother, I will fight them until they¡¯re convinced!¡± Qing¡¯er smiled triumphantly, waving her small fist excitedly. After five days of getting along, she had already regarded Yang Chen as her real brother, with a strong dependence and no longer having any constraints with him like earlier. At this time. In the Treasure Pavilion of Red Cloud City. Lin Yan, who had been apanying Shen Xueyan in searching for the Red Cloud Grass, finally found a Red Cloud Grass. ¡°Sister Xueyan, I told you I have very good luck! With me here, you won¡¯t have trouble finding the Red Cloud Grass!¡± Lin Yan touched his nose, proudly saying. He had helped Senior Sister Xueyan find the Red Cloud Grass she had been looking for. Senior Sister Xueyan should thank me properly. In the future, she won¡¯t be as be as cold to me anymore. Shen Xueyan looked at the Red Cloud Grass in her hand, her expression filled with joy. After five days of searching, she finally found it. The Red Cloud Grass was different from other spiritual herbs. There was nothing special about it, it was no different from ordinary Red me Grass. There were plenty of Red me Grass, a very low-grade spiritual herb. The Red Cloud Grass was mixed among the Red me Grass. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to find it. But at this moment, an untimely voice sounded: ¡°Boss, I¡¯ll take this Red Cloud Grass!¡± ¡°It¡¯s one hundred spiritual stones!¡± A bag of spiritual stones was thrown on the counter. Then, before Shen Xueyan could react, a big hand snatched the Red Cloud Grass from her hand. ¡°You!¡± Shen Xueyan was immediately furious. ¡°Give me back the Red Cloud Grass!¡± ¡°That¡¯s mine!¡± ¡°Yours?¡± The one who snatched the Red Cloud Grass was a pale-faced young man, his gloomy eyes staring unscrupulously at Shen Xueyan, teasing: ¡°Have you paid for it?¡± ¡°If you haven¡¯t paid, then this still belongs to the boss (referring to the seller)! I paid the him and bought it. What¡¯s the problem, little beauty?¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± Although Lin Yan cursed beside him, he was overjoyed in his heart. Damn, finally a fool hade to cause trouble. It¡¯s time for me, Lin Yan, to show off. Watch how I stand up for Senior Sister Xueyan and take back the Red Cloud Grass. By then, Senior Sister Xueyan¡¯s attitude towards me will definitely return to what it was before. It might even get better. ¡°You¡¯d better return the Red Cloud Grass as soon as possible! Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you leave this ce!¡± Lin Yan said sternly, full of momentum. ¡°Where did this stray doge from? Just at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm, and he wants to show off in front of a beauty?¡± The pale-faced young man¡¯s face was full of disdain. Without even looking at Lin Yan, his eyes were fixed on Shen Xueyan. Lin Yan had long regarded Shen Xueyan as his forbidden fruit. How could he allow others to look at her like this? He was immediately enraged. ¡°Courting death!¡± He directly pped the young man. Bang! The young man casually took it. But he was somewhat surprised. ¡°Not bad, a mere Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm, but you can bring out the strength at the Sixth stage of Foundation Establishment realm!¡± The young man said. With this statement, many people in the Treasure Pavilion showed different expressions. ¡°A cultivator at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm can burst out with the strength of the Sixth stage Foundation Establishment realm!? What kind of monster is this? Is he the Holy Son of some sect?¡± ¡°Even if not, he is at least outstanding among the true disciples!¡± ¡°Look at that female cultivator, so beautiful, like an immortal descended on earth, I have never seen such a beautiful woman!¡± ¡°These two people must have a big background!¡± ¡°Today¡¯s going to be interesting!¡± In the Treasure Pavilion, most of the people gathered were disciples from various major sects who hade to Red Cloud City. At this moment, they were all attracted over. Among them were disciples of the Xuantian Sect. Immediately, someone recognized Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan. ¡°What would you guys know? That fairy is our Xuantian Sect¡¯s Fairy Shen Xueyan, the number one beauty in the Inner sect. It¡¯s normal for you little sect disciples to have never seen such a beauty! As for that person, his name is Lin Yan. Don¡¯t underestimate him just because he¡¯s only at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm! His background is quite impressive!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Suddenly everyone became curious. ¡°Quite impressive? Could it be that he¡¯s the Holy Son of your Xuantian Sect?¡± ¡°How dare your!¡± The disciple of the Xuantian Sect immediately shouted: ¡°Our Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son has already reached the Seventh stage of Golden Core realm, enough to crush the younger generation of the Northern Spirit Realm. If he were here, who would dare to be so presumptuous!? ¡°However, you were right about one thing! Although Lin Yan is not our Holy Son, he is his step son! Hmph, to tell you the truth, our Holy Son dotes on this stepson very much! This time, the guy who snatched the Red Cloud Grass has kicked an iron te!¡± Chapter 25 - Even if the Xuantian Holy Son is your Biological Father, Im Not Afraid! Chapter 25 - Even if the Xuantian Holy Son is your Biological Father, I''m Not Afraid! Chapter 25 ¡ª Even if the Xuantian Holy Son is your Biological Father, I¡¯m Not Afraid! ¡°What!?¡± ¡°The Xuantian Holy Son¡¯s stepson?¡± In the Treasure Pavilion, the crowd was stunned. ¡°The Xuantian Sect is a top sect with a heritage of hundreds of thousands of years, and it is said that the Xuantian¡¯s Holy Son is the only direct disciple of the sect master! In the future, he is almost certain to inherit the position of sect master! As the stepson of the Xuantian Holy Son, his identity is indeed extraordinary!¡± ¡°No wonder this kid with only a Fourth-stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivation dares to take action against a Golden Core cultivator. It turns out his background is astonishing!¡± Upon hearing the discussions around him, Lin Yan¡¯s expressions turned livid. His fierce gaze directly pierced at the Xuantian Sect disciples who were discussing him. His eyes were full of murderous intent, like a wild beast gone mad. ¡°If any of you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you! A bunch of damned bastards!¡± Lin Yan had originally put on a good show of force, but suddenly, several Xuantian Sect disciples came up and revealed that his stepfather was Yang Chen. Damn it. His mind was about to explode. These damn Xuantian Sect bastards, they should all die immediately. Each and every one of them should die. ¡°What a terrifying gaze! No wonder he¡¯s the stepson of the Xuantian Holy Son!¡± ¡°The fair-faced young man on the other side seems to be from the Blood de Sect, right?¡± ¡°He should be a true disciple of the Blood de Sect, a Golden Core cultivator!¡± ¡°Although his cultivation level is high, he dared to provoke the Xuantian Holy Son¡¯s stepson, the Blood de Sect may not dare to protect him for this crime!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face grew even darker. He directly gripped his giant sword and was about to strike at the group of gossip mongers. At this moment. A cold shout sounded in Lin Yan¡¯s mind. ¡°Be careful, Yan¡¯er!¡± Lin Yan turned his head. But it was toote. While Lin Yan was distracted, the fair-faced young man directly struck him in the chest. Bang! The fair-faced youth held nothing back when he struck. A full-strength strike from a Golden Core cultivator was extremely terrifying. At a critical moment, a faint red light appeared on Lin Yan¡¯s body. It protected his heart and arteries, neutralizing half of the attack. Otherwise, this blow would have seriously injured Lin Yan. But even so, Lin Yan was still sent flying and coughed up blood heavily as hended on the ground. This scene stunned everyone in the Treasure Pavilion. Even Shen Xueyan widened her beautiful eyes. Because no one had expected it. Even after knowing Lin Yan was the stepson of the Xuantian Holy Son, this disciple of the Blood de Sect dared to attack him so viciously. Did he not value his life? Did he think that the ancient sect that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, the Xuantian Sect, was easy to bully? ¡°How dare you!¡± Shen Xueyan shouted angrily and immediately took action. She fought against the fair-faced young man. In just a few moments, they exchanged more than ten moves. The fair-faced young man took out a blood-red long de. Maleficent energy emanated from him. With three consecutive strikes, he forced Shen Xueyan back. ¡°Haha, the people of the Xuantian Sect are nothing more than this! I thought the stepson of the Holy Son would be different, but he was disabled with just one strike! Tsk tsk, what a waste!¡± Shen Xueyan¡¯s face turned cold, preparing to fight the fair-faced young man again. However, Lin Yan, standing behind her, stood up. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the fair-faced young man. ¡°Today, you will die!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was firm. ¡°Oh?¡± The fair-faced young man smiled. ¡°Kid who doesn¡¯t know the heights of the heavens! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you just because your stepfather is the Xuantian Holy Son? Hmph, to tell you the truth, even if the Xuantian Holy Son is your biological father, I¡¯m not afraid! I¡¯m from the Blood de Sect, and I¡¯m not afraid of your Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°You damn fool, you¡¯re asking for death!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face was terrifyingly dark, filled with intense hatred. If the fair-faced young man had only interrupted his show of force with a sneak attack, his murderous intent would not have been so strong. But now, the fair-faced young man was practically dancing on his head. He must die! ¡°Master, I want to use a portion of your power!¡± Lin Yan said firmly in his mind. ¡°Yan¡¯er, this person is a true disciple of the Blood de Sect. There¡¯s no need to kill him. Doing so will only invite more trouble! The most important thing now is to prepare to collect the Primordial Fire!¡± ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry about it! I¡¯ll just borrow a part of your Golden Core cultivation to hone my strength!¡± ¡°Sigh, fine!¡± Empress Yan¡¯s voice was helpless. A faint red light shed on Lin Yan¡¯s body, and his entire aura surged dramatically. In an instant, he possessed a aura no weaker than that of a Golden Core cultivator. ¡°So strong!¡± ¡°Is this kid also a Golden Core cultivator?¡± ¡°Unlikely!¡± ¡°This power should be a life-saving measure given to him by the Xuantian Holy Son! After all, this kid is the Xuantian Holy Son¡¯s stepson!¡± Lin Yan gave a cold nce at the person who spoke. Damn, this kid won¡¯t shut up. After I kill this young man, you¡¯re next! Chapter 26 - Soul Cult Cultivator! Yans Panic! Chapter 26 - Soul Cult Cultivator! Yan''s Panic! Chapter 26 ¡ª Soul Cult Cultivator! Yan¡¯s Panic! Lin Yan swung his giant sword directly, and a sh aimed at the fair-faced young man. The sword aura filled the sky, unstoppable. Feeling the sudden surge of Lin Yan¡¯s aura, the fair-faced young man¡¯s face turned solemn. He also shed out with a sword. Bang! True qi surged out. The fair-faced young man retreated more than ten steps, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. ¡°You brat, just you wait!¡± Seeing that he was no match for Lin Yan, the fair-faced young man wanted to escape. However, Lin Yan, holding the giant sword, was not slow at all. Like a ghost, he appeared directly in front of the young man. He made another sh. Bang! The fair-faced young man blocked with his sword horizontally; however, he was still sent flying by the powerful sh, blood spraying out. He barely stood up, a trace of panic shing in his eyes. ¡°Kid, I am a true disciple of the Blood de Sect! Let me tell you the truth, my father is a Soul Transformation cultivator, the elder of the Blood de Sect! Do you dare to kill me? Even if you¡¯re the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son, you won¡¯t be able to protect yourself!¡± Feeling the killing intenting from Lin Yan, the fair-faced young man finally panicked. ¡°Even if your father is the King of Heaven, you will die today!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face was ferocious. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, don¡¯t!¡± Shen Xueyan, who was beside him, hurriedly spoke out, wanting to stop Lin Yan. Because although the Blood de Sect was not as powerful as the Xuantian Sect, it was still a top force. The offspring of a Soul Transformation cultivator was different from a simple true disciple. If he was killed, it would inevitably lead to conflicts between the two sects. However, Lin Yan didn¡¯t care about any of this. First, he was injured, then insulted. Only by killing this bastard could he vent his anger. He had been holding back his anger for too long. Now, he had to let it out! ng! Lin Yan shed down. Blood gushed out. The fair-faced young man stared with wide eyes, covering his neck, disbelief written all over his face. ¡°You, how dare you!¡± Blood kept flowing from the fair-faced young man¡¯s mouth, and he had no more vitality. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, you¡¯ve caused a big disaster!¡± Shen Xueyan scolded him. The death and serious injury of the offspring of a Soul Transformation cultivator werepletely different matters. The elder of the Blood de Sect was as influential as the sect master of the Blood de Sect. If his offspring were killed, wouldn¡¯t there be retaliation? ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, he was just a wastrel, killing him is nothing! Here, your Red me Grass!¡± Lin Yan sheathed his giant sword on his back and handed the Red me Grass to Shen Xueyan in as cool a gesture as possible. However, Shen Xueyan¡¯s face showed no joy. Because more than ten cultivators dressed like the fair-faced young man entered the Treasure Pavilion. All of these people were from the Blood de Sect. The one leading had a majestic aura about him. ¡°Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang, who is it, who killed my Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang?¡± ¡°Holy Son, it¡¯s him!¡± Someone from the crowd also from the Blood de Sect pointed at Lin Yan and began to tell the Blood de Sect Holy Son what had happened. ¡°It¡¯s the Blood de Sect Holy Son!¡± ¡°This time, that Lin Yan is in for big trouble! The Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son has arrived! Even if his stepfather is the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to protect him!¡± ¡°The death of a Soul Transformation realm cultivator¡¯s offspring, a true disciple, is not something that can simply be shrugged off! Moreover, the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son has been cultivating for over two hundred years. It is said that he has reached the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm. He should not fear the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son!¡± The Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son looked at Lin Yan, his face darkening. ¡°You have a lot of nerve. My Senior Brother only injured you, but you took his life! Even if your stepfather is the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son, today, I will make you pay with your life!¡± The aura of the Blood de Sect Holy Son erupted. Everyone in the Treasure Pavilion felt a chill down their spines. Shen Xueyan quickly sent a message to the Xuantian Sect disciples who had just watched. ¡°Hurry to the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and report to the Holy Son!¡± ¡­ Lin Yan stood in ce, not at all flustered, with no panic on his face. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with killing intent. ¡°If you want revenge, I don¡¯t mind sending you all off together. It¡¯ll be goodpany on your journey!¡± Lin Yan said coldly. Anyway, he had his master, and he could erupt with the power of the Soul Transformation realm at any time. Let alone, the Holy Son, even if the Sect Master came himself, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold him back. It just so happened that he could also show off his strength in front of Senior Sister Xueyan. After today, Senior Sister Xueyan might look at him in a different light. By then, he could win her over. Hehe. Lin Yan thought to himself with great satisfaction. However, he did not notice. Among the group of people from the Blood de Sect, there was a middle-aged man with a dry and gloomy face. His eagle-like eyes looked him up and down. ¡°What a peculiar kid, he actually has another kind of soul aura on him! This aura should be a soul body! Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect to encounter such a good thing here! The taste of a soul, for us Soul Cult Cultivators, is a great meal!¡± In Lin Yan¡¯s ring space, Empress Yan¡¯s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. ¡°The aura of the Soul Cult Cultivator!? Darn it, the influence of the Soul Cult forces has already infiltrated the Northern Spirit Realm!¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t let them discover me!¡± Yan quickly said to Lin Yan, who was still busy posturing: ¡°Yan¡¯er, quickly leave this ce!¡± ¡°Master, why?¡± Lin Yan was puzzled. ¡°Don¡¯t ask so many questions! I need to gather all my soul power. I can¡¯t help you for now!¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Yan was shocked. Master wanted to gather all her soul power and couldn¡¯t help him for now? How could this be! Without his master¡¯s power, how could he deal with the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son? Chapter 27 - For Survival, I Can Only Acknowledge the Thief as My Father! Chapter 27 - For Survival, I Can Only Acknowledge the Thief as My Father! Chapter 27 ¡ªFor Survival, I Can Only Acknowledge the Thief as My Father! At this moment, as everyone heard Lin Yan¡¯s arrogant words, they were all stunned. ¡°This kid is too arrogant!¡± ¡°Just mere Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, relying on his stepfather being the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, he directly killed a true disciple of the Blood de Sect. Now he even threatens to send away the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect! Doesn¡¯t this kid know that the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect is at the Seventh Stage of the Golden Core Realm?¡± On the side, Shen Xueyan also looked at Lin Yan helplessly, her eyes showing some anger. Junior Brother Lin Yan, you really don¡¯t know the severity of the situation. You could use special means to kill a true disciple of the Blood de Sect, but the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect is at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core Realm. Where do you get the confidence? Isn¡¯t this adding fuel to the fire? ¡°Kid, you¡¯re arrogant enough!¡± The Holy Son of the Blood de Sect¡¯s expression was grim. As a Holy Son of a top power, he was insulted by a junior like this. Today, even if the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect was present, he would still kill him with single blow. Bang! The Holy Son struck out with a palm. Lin Yan hurriedly swung his sword to defend, but without the blessing of Empress Yan¡¯s soul power, he was at most equivalent to a Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. He couldn¡¯t block this palm at all. Puff! Lin Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and the huge sword in his hand was knocked away and fell heavily to the ground. He tried to struggle to get up, but he was like a dead dog, unable to stand up at all. This scene shocked everyone. Lin Yan, who had just been so arrogant, was directly beaten into a dead dog with one palm! ¡°Tsk, I thought this kid had some hidden means to not fear the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect! Turns out, he¡¯s just all talk!¡± ¡°Ha ha!¡± ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan!¡± Shen Xueyan hurried forward. Although she was disappointed in Lin Yan, the incident started because of her after all. Besides, Lin Yan was also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, so she couldn¡¯t just stand by. ¡°Holy Son of the Blood de Sect! I implore you to show mercy!¡± Shen Xueyan wanted to plead, but the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect didn¡¯t even look at her, directly striking with a palm. Shen Xueyan, a mere First stage Golden Core cultivator, was directly knocked back, spitting out blood. ¡°Hmph, your Xuantian Sect is too arrogant. Today, my Blood de Sect will teach you how to behave! In the Northern Spirit Realm, with the rise of many heroes, the era of your Xuantian Sect¡¯s rule hase to an end!¡± The Holy Son of the Blood de Sect said loudly. For a moment, many disciples from various sects in the Treasure Pavilion responded. ¡°That¡¯s right, although the Xuantian Sect has a heritage of tens of thousands of years, in the Northern Spirit Realm today, there is more than just the Xuantian Sect as a top power!¡± ¡°My Wind Thunder Sect supports the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect!¡± ¡°My Rain Flower Valley also supports the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect!¡± ¡°Blood for blood, this blood debt must be repaid!¡± ¡°Even if your stepfather is the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, today you must pay with your life!¡± Several Xuantian Sect disciples in the crowd fell silent. They had wanted to help Lin Yan just now, but now, with the crowd so agitated, they were afraid of being surrounded and beaten. The Holy Son of the Blood de Sect remained indifferent, walking towards Lin Yan with his de. ¡°Kid, use your life to pay tribute to my Senior Apprentice Brother! A life for a life, I believe even the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect won¡¯t object!¡± Lin Yan was panicked at this moment. He was truly panicking. ¡°Master, master!¡± Lin Yan urgently called out in his heart. However, Empress Yan could only helplessly say, ¡°I really can¡¯t make a move! There is an aura of a Soul Cult Cultivator nearby! If I make a move, I¡¯ll be targeted by them!¡± ¡°Mentor, if you don¡¯t make a move, I¡¯ll die!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice was full of panicked and urgent. Empress Yan sighed. She couldn¡¯t help but feel disappointed in Lin Yan. Yan¡¯er, Yan¡¯er. You should have been a bit less arrogant just now. At this critical moment, you¡¯re so flustered. How can you achieve great things in the future? ¡°Yan¡¯er, you can try to buy some time using Yang Chen¡¯s name! There is a conflict here, and he should arrive soon!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Lin Yan was shocked. Did his master go mad? Let him buy some time using Yang Chen¡¯s name? Didn¡¯t she know that Yang Chen was the person he hates the most? Lin Yan was still hesitant when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. The bright red blood de was already on his neck. If the other party exerted a little force, he would be decapitated. Lin Yan clearly felt the impending sense of death. He was afraid of this feeling. He didn¡¯t want to die. ¡°If you, if you kill me, you won¡¯t be able to bear the consequences! Yang Chen, he won¡¯t let you off!¡± Lin Yan grit his teeth as he said. He really didn¡¯t want to mention the name of that bastard Yang Chen. Especially in this situation. Because once mentioned, it would be equivalent to admitting that Yang Chen as his stepfather. Bastard, ah! Lin Yan was extremely unwilling. However, for his survival he had no choice. He could only acknowledge the thief as his father for the time being. ¡°Hmph, who is Yang Chen?¡± The Holy Son of the Blood de Sect, who usually secluded himself, had only heard of the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, but did not know his actual name. Lin Yan gritted his teeth, his heart bleeding. This bastard, he was doing it on purpose, right? However, feeling the blood de on his neck, Lin Yan could only say helplessly: ¡°Yang Chen is the Holy Son of Heaven of the Xuantian Sect!¡± Hmph! The Holy Son of the Blood de Sect snorted coldly. ¡°Begging for mercy without making it clear, you really don¡¯t put my Blood de Sect in your eyes! If you want to beg for mercy, just tell me everything at once!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Yan roared in his heart. Did Yang Chen deliberately sent this bastard to insult him? However, feeling the blood de on his neck, Lin Yan could only say helplessly: ¡°Yang Chen is Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, my stepfather! If you kill me, he won¡¯t let you off!¡± After speaking, Lin Yan felt like he had swallowed a hundred flies. He felt ufortable, and he hated it. He couldn¡¯t help but nce at Shen Xueyan beside him. Only to see Shen Xueyan also looking at him, her eyes seeming to show a faint disdain and ridicule! Lin Yan¡¯s face stiffened. Ah!He roared inwardly. He just wanted to find a hole to hide in. For his survival, he publicly acknowledged Yang Chen as his stepfather. His most shameful side was now seen by the goddess in his heart. Senior Sister Shen Xueyan, even showed a look of disdain. Yang Chen, you damn bastard! Sooner orter, I will dismember you into a thousand pieces! Chapter 28 - Shen Xueyan Develops Admiration? Chapter 28 - Shen Xueyan Develops Admiration? Chapter 28: Shen Xueyan Develops Admiration? At this moment, in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, a golden light broke through the air. Yang Chen once again used 3000 VPs to raise his cultivation from the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm to the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm! After reaching the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm, it was significantly more difficult to advance to the next realm, far exceeding previous costs. [Ding! Lin Yan encountered a life-threatening crisis, reported the host¡¯s name to buy time, temporarily acknowledging the fact of you being his stepfather, while his heart was unwillingly. He has received severe mental damage, indirectly plundering 500 points Providence Luck from Lin Yan. The host has been awarded with 500 VPs!] Huh? Yang Chen was taken aback. Did Lin Yan, his junior brother, use his name to buy time? Temporarily acknowledging the fact that he, Yang Chen, was his stepfather? And his mentality was damaged again? It seemed like Lin Yan was in trouble. Yang Chen stepped out of the secret room. Outside, a disciple of the Xuantian Sect was flying towards him. Landing in front of him, the disciple eximed, ¡°Holy Son, something bad happened to Lin Yan!¡± Yang Chen frowned. ¡°Quick, what happened to Yan¡¯er?¡± ¡°Holy Son, Lin Yan killed a true disciple of the Blood de Sect, who happened to be the son of the Blood de Sect¡¯s Elder. The Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son wants Lin Yan to pay with his life!¡± ¡°What?¡± Yang Chen pretended to be surprised, but he was actually delighted. In the original work, before Lin Yan acquired the Primordial Fire, he didn¡¯t have much conflict with the Blood de Sect. But this Blood de Sect was not simple. ording to the original work, the Blood de Sect had colluded with the Soul Cult Cultivator. There¡¯s a cultivator from the Soul Cult in the Blood de Sect. Hehe. It should be Lin Yan¡¯s master, Empress Yan, who noticed the Soul Cult Cultivator¡¯s aura. Having noticed, she doesn¡¯t dare make a move. The plot had progressed to this point, which was quite interesting. Next, his n would also start to unfold. He couldn¡¯t seize the Primordial Fire with his current cultivation. In the original work, the reason why Lin Yan sessfully seized the Primordial Fire was entirely due to the help of his master, Empress Yan. The emergence of the cultivator from the Soul Cult was the prelude to his n. ¡°Quickly lead the way!¡± Yang Chen grabbed the disciple and turned into a golden light, shooting straight into the sky. Lin Yan couldn¡¯t die yet. After all, everyone knew that he was a qualified stepfather who cared for his stepson. Moreover, Lin Yan¡¯s Providence Luck hadn¡¯t beenpletely harvested yet. It would be a waste to let him die now. In the Treasure Pavilion, the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son said coldly, ¡°Kid, even if you bring out your stepfather, Xuantian Holy Son, it¡¯s useless. Today, no one can save you!¡± ¡°Die!¡± With these words, the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son raised his de to behead Lin Yan. But suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura behind him. He quickly turned around and shed out a de that was over ten zhang long. However, the de aura shattered instantly. A palm directly pped him, causing him to spit out blood and fly out. ¡°What!?¡± Everyone was shocked to see this scene. The Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son, a cultivator at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm, was actually pped and sent flying by a single palm! Did a Nascent Soul cultivator make a move? All eyes turned to the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. A figure walked in leisurely. d in white, with a handsome face, he looked like a celestial being descending to earth. He exuded an extremely strong aura yet appeared graceful and elegant. ¡°Peak of the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm!¡± ¡°Who is this person?¡± Several disciples of the Xuantian Sect hurriedly stepped forward. ¡°Greetings, Holy Son!¡± They were excited. The Holy Son was truly extraordinary. He had managed to defeat the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son with just one move. With such strength, he could definitely dominate the younger generation. In the future, who would dare to offend our Xuantian Sect! ¡°What, it¡¯s the Xuantian Holy Son!¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t the Xuantian Holy Son at the Seventh stage of the Golden Core realm? When did he break through to the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm?¡± ¡°His breakthrough speed is too terrifying. With a single strike, he sent the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son flying. The current Xuantian Holy Son is probably invincible among his peers!¡± ¡°But the Xuantian Holy Son looks so handsome, with a noble and graceful bearing. He truly deserves to be a sect¡¯s Holy Son!¡± ¡°I love him, I love him. The Xuantian Holy Son already has a wife, does he still need concubines or maidservants?¡± Watching Yang Chen¡¯s peerless figure, Lin Yan¡¯s heart was filled with resentment. Damn, show off. Posturers like you get struck by lightning. Lin Yan turned his head, wanting to see the goddess beside him, Shen Xueyan. But as soon as he turned his head, he was stunned. Because Shen Xueyan, like many female cultivators in the Treasure Pavilion, was staring nkly at Yang Chen. There was even a blush on her face. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Yan instantly understood the meaning behind this expression. Shen Xueyan, his goddess, was actually interested in Yang Chen. Bastard!Yang Chen, why don¡¯t you hurry up and die? Lin Yan¡¯s heart was bleeding. His own goddess, Fairy Xueyan, didn¡¯t she hate Yang Chen the most? Why was she looking at Yang Chen, that scoundrel, with such eyes!? [Ding! Shen Xueyan has developed admiration for the host. This has caused Lin Yan to have mental breakdown. Indirectly plundering 1000 points of Lin Yan¡¯s Providence Luck. Rewarding the host with 1000 points VPs!] Huh?Yang Chen was stunned. Shen Xueyan had developed feelings of admiration for him? Did the first female lead in the original work fall just like that? It seemed that a man must indeed have great personal strength! However, Junior Brother Lin Yan must be very sad right now! Chapter 29 - According to seniority, you should call me aunt! Chapter 29 - ording to seniority, you should call me aunt! Chapter 29 ¡ª ording to seniority, you should call me aunt! In the Treasure Pavilion, all eyes were on Yang Chen, with expressions ranging from admiration to fear. The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, with such formidable cultivation, had reached the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm at only forty years old! This was simply a cultivation speed akin to that of a monster. The Xuantian Sect truly deserved its status as a giant in the Northern Spiritual Realm. With a legacy of hundreds of thousands of years, its heritage was not something that neers like the Blood de Sect, a newly risen top-tier force, couldpare to! This Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect would undoubtedly be a dominant figure in the Northern Spiritual Realm in the future! Today, they could sit together with the future dominant figure and boast about it in the future! ¡°Holy Son!¡± Several disciples of the Blood de Sect hurriedly helped up the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect, who was spitting out blood. Yang Chen looked at him. In the original work, this Holy Son of the Blood de Sect also appeared, but only to set off the appearance of the Soul Cult Cultivator, without much description dedicated to him. ¡°Lin Yan is this Holy Son¡¯s stepson, as close to me as if he were my own. Not anyone can kill him! If your Blood de Sect seeks revenge on Lin Yan in the future, it will be at odds with me, Yang Chen! As for the true disciple being killed, my Xuantian Sect willpensate you for that!¡± Yang Chen said calmly, his voice filled withtent warning. Looking around, all the disciples of the sect bowed their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. Today, through Lin Yan, he had indirectly struck at the Blood de Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect, which were major forces. To prevent them from always thinking about challenging the position of the Xuantian Sect. With a heritage of hundreds of thousands of years, the Xuantian Sect, once the overlord of the Northern Spiritual Realm, was not something they could provoke. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Knowing the he was not a match for Yang Chen, the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect, being seriously injured, could only lead his men away. However, this matter wouldn¡¯t end here. The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect had sheltered his stepson, but the Blood de Sect was best at assassination. I don¡¯t believe that the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect can protect this brat for the rest of his life. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze fell towards a cultivator with the Blood de Sect. With a withered face and eyes like a hawk. This person should be the cultivator from the Soul Cult. Lin Yan¡¯s master, Yan Hou, should be terrified of him. City Lord¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Yan¡¯er, your injuries are serious. You need to rest well during this time! Take this pill!¡± Yang Chen handed a healing pill to Lin Yan. His eyes were full of fatherly care. Lin Yan gritted his teeth inwardly. This bastard forced him to admit publicly that he was his stepson, and what¡¯s worse, Senior Sister Xueyan even admired him now. Damn it. He really wanted to kill him with a single sword. Lin Yan was angry, but he didn¡¯t refuse Yang Chen¡¯s pill. Admitting publicly that he was his stepfather had cost him dearly. He had to make up for it. Consider this pill as interest. The final ount would be settledter. ¡°Yan¡¯er, fortunately, you¡¯re just injured, with no serious harm! Otherwise, I really wouldn¡¯t know how to exin it to your mother! In the future, if something like this happens again, you must report it to me first thing, use my name!¡± Yang Chen noticed the anger in his eyes and added another blow. Lin Yan¡¯s face immediately turned purple. [Ding! Host kills with malice, Lin Yan¡¯s mentality copses, plundering the Providence Luck of the Son of Destiny Lin Yan by 100 points, the host gains 100 VPs! Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved into a smile. Not bad, not bad. Although a hundred points were a bit less. But it was still meat. After everyone left, Lin Yan began tomunicate with Yan Hou. ¡°Master, what exactly happened just now? Why didn¡¯t you let me use your power? Do you know how humiliated I was? Even Senior Sister Xueyan has begun to look down on me!¡± In the ring¡¯s space. Lin Yan¡¯s voice rang with obvious anger. Yan Hou¡¯s charming and charming face looked helpless. ¡°Yan¡¯er, Master just sensed the aura of the Soul Cult cultivator!¡± ¡°Soul Cult? What¡¯s that?¡± Lin Yan asked. ¡°The Soul Cult is an organization specialized in hunting soul bodies; they are extremely evil! If Master¡¯s existence is discovered by them, death is inevitable! So Master didn¡¯t make a move!¡± ¡°I see!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s anger subsided somewhat. But his face still looked ugly. Because he had lost too much today. It was embarrassing enough to lose face in front of so many disciples of the sect. Most importantly, Senior Sister Xueyan must be very disappointed in him now. At this moment. Footsteps sounded. A little girl walked into the courtyard. With fair skin and bright eyes, she looked like a little fairy. Lin Yan saw her and was instantly stunned. What a beautiful little girl. Even the City Lord¡¯s Mansion had such a beauty. Lin Yan¡¯s heart burned with desire. This little girl should be a maid or a miss from the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Although the City Lord¡¯s Mansion was also a cultivation force, it was definitely notparable to the Xuantian Sect. If he suggested taking her to the Xuantian Sect for cultivation. Tsk tsk. He believed she would be very grateful. Lin Yan was about to act when Yan Hou¡¯s voice suddenly sounded: ¡°Yan¡¯er, that little girl is not simple!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Yan was stunned. ¡°How is she not simple, Master?¡± ¡°If Master is not mistaken, this little girl likely has a Pure Spirit Holy Physique!¡± ¡°Pure Spirit Holy Physique?¡± ¡°Yes, Pure Spirit Holy Physique is naturally in harmony with the heavens. Once they start cultivating, they will have no barriers at any realm! Their future is limitless!¡± ¡°So amazing?¡± Lin Yan was amazed. A hint of joy appeared on his face. The heavens were still kind to him. Although he had just lost face, he had encountered someone with a Pure Spirit Holy Physique just now. And this little girl was so beautiful. He must take her into his arms. ¡°Yan¡¯er, bring her over. Let Master take a closer look and confirm if she has the Pure Spirit Holy Physique!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Lin Yan nodded excitedly. Then he reluctantly stood up and walked towards Qing¡¯er. ¡°Little sister!¡± Lin Yan shouted. A self-proimed handsome smile on his face. However, Qing¡¯er¡¯s delicate face was serious as she said: ¡°Lin Yan, you can¡¯t call me little sister!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Yan was taken aback. What¡¯s going on? How does this little girl know my name? Am I so famous now? And what does she mean by that? ¡°Little sister, what do you mean by that?¡± Qing¡¯er said seriously: ¡°Lin Yan, Brother told me that you are his stepson! So, ording to seniority, you should call me aunt! You can¡¯t call me little sister, that¡¯s not right!¡± Chapter 30 - Soul-Stabilizing Pill, My Sects Young Master Invites Fellow Daoist for a Chat! Chapter 30 - Soul-Stabilizing Pill, My Sect''s Young Master Invites Fellow Daoist for a Chat! Chapter 30 ¡ª Soul-Stabilizing Pill, My Sect¡¯s Young Master Invites Fellow Daoist for a Chat! ¡°What, what?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s expression froze. Brother? Stepson? Aunt? Bastard! Lin Yan was instantly enraged. Qing¡¯er was frightened by him and took several steps back. ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with Yang Chen?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face twisted with fury. Qing¡¯er weakly replied, ¡°Yang Chen is my brother! Also, since you¡¯re younger, so you can¡¯t directly call elders by their names!¡± ¡°Ah! Shut up!¡± Lin Yan was furious. Hatred surged in his heart. When did Yang Chen have a sister? ¡°When did you meet Yang Chen?¡± Lin Yan asked, suppressing his anger. Qing¡¯er didn¡¯t hide anything: ¡°Five, five days ago!¡± ¡°Five days ago?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face froze. Wasn¡¯t that when he just arrived in Red Cloud City? Fortunately, it hadn¡¯t been long since they met; their rtionship couldn¡¯t be deep. He still had a chance. Pure Spirit Holy Physique, he must obtain her. He must bring her under his wing, or into his harem. And, he could also steal Yang Chen¡¯s thunder. Just thinking about it made him excited. Lin Yan hastily said, ¡°Little sister, you¡¯ve been deceived by Yang Chen. He¡¯s not a good person! To tell you the truth, he¡¯s a big viin who tricks little girls into sleeping with him!¡± ¡°No way!¡± Qing¡¯er¡¯s little face immediately puffed up. ¡°I used to be a maid in the Lord¡¯s Manor, couldn¡¯t even eat enough, and then my brother recognized me as a sister and taught me cultivation! My brother is a good person, you¡¯re the bad one! Speaking ill of your stepfather behind his back!¡± ¡°You!¡± Lin Yan wanted to rush up and p her in the face. But he still restrained himself. Maid in the Lord¡¯s Manor? Recognized as a sister five days ago? Lin Yan was full of regret at this moment. At that time, he had been pestering Senior Sister Xueyan to find the Red me Grass. And Yang Chen had recognized someone with a Pure Spirit Holy Physique as his sister in the Lord¡¯s Manor. Damn it! Why didn¡¯t I meet her earlier? Why should such a beauty fall into the hands of Yang Chen, that bastard? At this moment, Yang Chen walked into the courtyard. Qing¡¯er saw him and immediately ran over, throwing herself into his arms. ¡°Brother! I don¡¯t want to take care of him! He¡¯s a bad guy, he even spoke ill of you just now!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth. Let Qing¡¯er take care of Lin Yan? This was obviously his calcted n. As long as Qing¡¯er, with her Pure Spirit Holy Physique body, appeared in front of Lin Yan, his master, me Empress, would definitely notice. So, Yang Chen let Qing¡¯er take care of her grandnephew. And to mess with Lin Yan¡¯s mentality. And it seemed that things were going smoothly. ¡°Yan¡¯er, from now on, we¡¯re all family, so it¡¯s a good opportunity to introduce you to Qing¡¯er! But remember, in the future, when you see Qing¡¯er, you should call her Auntie!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s expression was dark. His fists clenched. Bastard, just wait. After collecting the Primordial Fire, it¡¯ll be your time to die! By then, this Pure Spirit Holy Physique Qing¡¯er will be mine. Damn it, I¡¯ll make her call me brother at night! [Ding! supporting character Qing¡¯er develops disgust towards Lin Yan,pletely severing their rtionship, plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from Son of Destiny, Lin Yan¡¯. You have been rewarded with 500 VPs!] [Ding! Lin Yan regrets in his heart, his state of mind is damaged, plundering 200 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan. You have been rewarded with 200 VPs!] A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth. Not bad, not bad. This wave of Viinous Points was quite a gain. Very profitable. He left with Qing¡¯er. The little girl hugged his arm and shook it back and forth. In these days of getting along, the little girl¡¯s personality gradually became lively. Feeling the touch of her arm, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit moved. This little girl, she looks like a budding lotus, but her touch was quite amazing. At night, Yang Chen summoned the system. ¡°System, is there a pill to stabilize the soul?¡± [Yes, host, there is a pill to stabilize the soul. I rmend the Soul-Stabilizing Pill, which is beneficial for the stability of the soul body. However, it cannot enhance the strength of the soul body. One Soul-Stabilizing Pill requires 1000 points of VPs!] ¡°Oh? Stabilize the soul, but can¡¯t enhance strength! Not bad, this is exactly what I need! Exchange!¡± [Host has exchanged a Soul-Stabilizing Pill for 1000 VPs sessfully!] Yang Chen looked at the white pill in his hand, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He would start with his n, today. Yang Chen crushed a jade talisman. This was his way of contacting Ye Yuxiao. Just after reaching the Soul Transformation realm, Yang Chen did not let Ye Yuxiao continue to protect him all the time, but let her cultivate nearby, consolidating her realm. When he needed to contact her, he would crush a jade talisman. In less than a moment, a ck light surged into the room. The light instantly converged into a ck figure. Arge ck robe wrapped around the graceful figure, looking somewhat overwhelming. ¡°Young Master!¡± Ye Yuxiao bowed. She didn¡¯t show any disrespect towards Yang Chen just because she had broken through to the Soul Transformation realm. After all, she was able to break through to the Soul Transformation realm thanks to the Soul Enhancing Pill that Yang Chen had given her. ¡°Yuxiao, you should have a deeper understanding of the power of the soul after having reached the Soul Transformation realm, right?¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Yuxiao nodded. ¡°When I was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, I still felt that I was not far from the Soul Transformation realm! But only by reaching the Soul Transformation realm did I understand that the gap between the Nascent Soul realm and the Soul Transformation realm was like a chasm! Cultivators in the Soul Transformation realm who have formed their primordial spirits have a far deeper understanding and utilization of the power of the soul than those at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm!¡± Yang Chen had read the original work and knew well the difference between a cultivator in the Soul Transformation realm and one in the Nascent Soul realm. A Soul Transformation cultivator at one realm could easily kill a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, making it impossible for thetter to escape. ¡°Yuxiao, there is a mysterious soul in Yan¡¯er¡¯s body! The other party can exist alone in soul form, and in the past, must have been a cultivator above the Soul Transformation realm! So I want Yuxiao to go and invite that mysterious soul!¡± ¡°Mysterious soul?¡± Ye Yuxiao was startled. Then she said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go over right away!¡± Ye Yuxiao turned into a ck light and disappeared in the room. At this time, in Lin Yan¡¯s room. ck light directly enveloped the entire room. Lin Yan directly fainted. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Yan Huo in the ring space was startled, a hint of panic shing across her charming face. This dark aura. Could it be that a cultivator from the Soul Cult has sensed her? ¡°My young master has invited you for a chat, fellow Daoist!¡± In the darkness, the faint voice of Ye Yuxiao sounded. Chapter 31 - Myself and Senior Yan are similar in terms of Seniority! Chapter 31 - Myself and Senior Yan are simr in terms of Seniority! Chapter 31 ¡ª Myself and Senior Yan are simr in terms of Seniority! ¡°Holy Son? Could it be Yang Chen?¡± Empress Yan raised her eyebrows. She had calmed down by now and distinguished that this dark aura was not from a Soul Cult Cultivator. Soul Cult Cultivators, in addition to darkness, also had restraint over soul bodies and the ability to devour soul power. But the other party did not. They should be just a simple darkness cultivator. And the ¡°Holy Son¡± mentioned should be Yang Chen. But the Xuantian Sect really went all out. They actually arranged a Soul Transformation realm protector for Yang Chen. Fortunately, Yan¡¯er hadn¡¯t acted prematurely. Otherwise, things would have been troublesome.Senior Yan thought to herself. Although she could unleash the cultivation of the Soul Transformation realm, she was only a soul body, and she was in a very weakened state. So, unleashing the power at the Soul Transformation realm was not sustainable. If she forcefully attempted to kill Yang Chen, it would definitely provoke this Soul Transformation realm cultivator to fight to the death. At that time, whether she could kill Yang Chen was uncertain. Even if she did, the Soul Transformation realm cultivator would still pursue her relentlessly. By then, even if she could escape, she would probably exhaust her soul power and fall into a deep sleep again. Waking up again would be a distant prospect. The other partying to her door now must be because he had sensed her existence. Empress Yan had no choice but to agree. She stepped out from the ring space. Her enchanting figure emitted a faint red light, dispersing the darkness. ¡°It seems that the senior had extraordinary cultivation in her lifetime, and now she is just a soul shadow, but she still has the strength of the Soul Transformation realm!¡± Ye Yuxiao said lightly, but she was quite shocked inside. Such a strong soul had been inside Lin Yan¡¯s body all this time. The crucial point was that every time Lin Yan went to the Xuantian Sect, he would take her in and the Soul Transformation realm cultivators in the sect did not even notice. It could be seen that the other party was very skilful. But how did the Holy Son know about it? Ye Yuxiao couldn¡¯t understand. The Holy Son had be more and more mysterious recently. ¡°Please!¡± The darkness faded, and the red light disappeared. In Yang Chen¡¯s room, Ye Yuxiao appeared in front of her. ¡°Holy Son, she¡¯s here!¡± With that, a graceful figure appeared before Yang Chen. Her figure was graceful and charming, exactly as described in the original work. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit envious of Lin Yan. His mother was gentle and beautiful, and his master was enchanting and peerless. Sigh. Junior Brother Lin Yan. Why is your life so good? Even I am a bit jealous as your father! ¡°Senior, I am Yang Chen, greetings!¡± Yang Chen stood up and saluted with sped hands. Then he asked knowingly, ¡°May I ask how I should address you, senior?¡± ¡°Empress Yan!¡± ¡°Empress Yan? Senior, please forgive my impoliteness, but I presume you must¡¯ve been an extremely powerful cultivator in your lifetime! I wonder what your rtionship is between Senior and Yan¡¯er?¡± ¡°Master and disciple!¡± Senior Yan said lightly. ¡°Oh, master and disciple! I am Yan¡¯er¡¯s stepfather, so myself and Senior Yan are simr in terms of seniority!¡± Yang Chen said with a smile. Empress Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. This guy seemed to really like emphasizing his stepfather-stepson rtionship with Yan¡¯er. ¡°Yan¡¯er often exhibits powers that do not belong to him, that¡¯s due to Senior Empress Yan¡¯s help I suppose!¡± Yang Chen continued. She nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Well, as I thought, how could Yan¡¯er, at the Fourth stage of Foundation Building realm, kill a Golden Core cultivator? But Senior often helps Yan¡¯er, which is actually detrimental to his growth! Using powers that don¡¯t belong to oneself too often will make it seem natural and create dependence! It¡¯s not good for his state of mind. I hope Senior will not help him like this in the future!¡± Senior Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Yang Chen with some surprise. She had not expected him to be so insightful. Through today¡¯s events, she had also realized that Yan¡¯er was relying too much on her power now. He would borrow her power to deal with people at the drop of a hat. A Fourth stage Foundation Building cultivator who constantly looked down on Golden Core realm cultivators. Sigh.He couldn¡¯t be indulged like this in the future. After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Chen looked at Ye Yuxiao. ¡°Sister Yu Xiao, please go out first! I have something to discuss with Senior Empress Yan alone!¡± ¡°Holy Son!¡± Ye Yuxiao hesitated. A soul body with the power of the Soul Transformation realm, alone in a room with the Holy Son, made her a little uneasy. However, Yang Chen was confident. ¡°It¡¯s okay! If Senior Empress Yan tries anything against me, Sister Yuxiao, just do as I say and find a cultivator from the Blood de Sect. Tell them what happened here!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s casually spoken words puzzled Ye Yuxiao. But when Empress Yan heard them, her beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate body trembled suddenly. The red glow on her body flickered. Chapter 32 - Senior, you don鈥檛 want to be found by the Soul Cult cultivators, right! Chapter 32 - Senior, you don¡¯t want to be found by the Soul Cult cultivators, right! Chapter 32 ¡ª Senior, you don¡¯t want to be found by the Soul Cult cultivators, right! Ye Yuxiao left the room, leaving only Yang Chen and Empress Yan behind. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, as Yan¡¯er¡¯s stepfather, I am very grateful to you for always protecting him! This way, his mother and I can worry less!¡± Empress Yan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed tightly. At this moment, she had no intention of listening to Yang Chen constantly emphasizing the objective fact that he and Lin Yan were stepfather and stepson. Her focus was all on Yang Chen¡¯s words. Inform the Blood de Sect of what happened here! Why would this kid say that? Could it be that he knows there are Soul Cult cultivators among the Blood de Sect¡¯s cultivators!? However, the Soul Cult is a very secretive organization. Even though the Soul Cult has infiltrated the Northern Spirit Realm. It¡¯s not something he should¡¯ve known! Empress Yan stared at Yang Chen intently. Trying to discern some clues. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, why have you been staring at me? Could it be that you think I¡¯m quite handsome? Do you like my looks? Are you Interested?¡± A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s lips. ¡°You, insolent! What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Empress Yan was suddenly stunned. There was a moment of panic and anger in her heart. Because whether in her lifetime or in her current state as a soul. No one dared to speak to her in this tone with such words. ¡°Yang Chen, this seat asks you, what did you mean by that just now?¡± Empress Yan thought for a moment and asked. ¡°What do you mean?¡± A smile crept up on his face. ¡°Senior Empress Yan should be clearer and better with your words than someone like me!¡± ¡°You!¡± Empress Yan furrowed her brows. This kid isn¡¯t as simple as he seems on the surface. He¡¯s quite tricky. At this point, Yang Chen walked to Empress Yan¡¯s side, close to her, and gave her a sidelong nce. Although Empress Yan was just a soul shadow, she was very lifelike, her enchanting figure fully on disy. From a horizontal perspective, it was unusually towering. ¡°What are you looking at? Stay away from this seat!¡± Empress Yan noticed Yang Chen¡¯s movements, immediately reprimanded, and quickly stepped back. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Chen with anger. She, Empress Yan, a great powerhouse of the world, a great fire cultivator. This kid actually dared to be so frivolous towards her! He¡¯s truly seeking death! Empress Yan wanted to p Yang Chen to death. But she held back. Because of what Yang Chen had just said. It made her hesitate. He gave her another smile. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, actually, the main reason I asked you toe over was to ask for your help!¡± ¡°Hmph, asking this seat for help? You, the Xuantian Saint Son, also have a Protector in the Soul Transformation realm. What help can this seat offer you?¡± Empress Yan¡¯s tone was somewhat cold. She now had a very poor impression of Yang Chen. Yang Chen smiled, then looked towards the Red Cloud Mountains outside of Red Cloud City, and said: ¡°Only Senior can help me grant this favour! To show my sincerity, I can tell Senior Empress Yan that the treasure in the Red Cloud Mountains is not just any treasure, but a Primordial Fire nurtured by heaven and earth!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Hearing this, Empress Yan was stunned. This kid actually knew that the treasure in the Red Cloud Mountains was Primordial Fire! Seeing her shocked expression, Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved slightly, and he continued: ¡°I can also tell Senior Empress Yan that this Primordial Fire is named Green Lotus Heavenly me! It¡¯s ranked 58th on the list of Primordial Fires!¡± ¡°Green Lotus Heavenly me!?¡± Empress Yan waspletely stunned. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Chen full of surprise. How did this kid know? The reason she could sense the aura of the Primordial Fire was because she already possessed a Primordial Fire herself, and she was a great fire cultivator who had practiced for tens of thousands of years, extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of mes. And she was confident that in the entire Northern Spiritual Realm, only she could sense it. Even the head of the Xuantian Sect, such a giant of the Northern Spiritual Realm, could only perceive that it was a Primordial treasure being born. But this kid. Actually knew it was a Primordial Fire. And not only that, he also said what kind of Primordial Fire it was. Even she could only sense that it was a Primordial Fire, but she was not sure which kind! Yang Chen continued to talk nonsense: ¡°Senior Empress Yan must be very curious, right? In fact, I obtained an inheritance! This Primordial Fire is nurtured by the power of heaven and earth under the control of the inheritor! And, the inheritance I obtained also requires this Primordial Fire to be fully activated!¡± Yang Chen fabricated and gave himself a reason. ¡°I see!¡± But Empress Yan believed him. After all, only this exnation could convince her. ¡°Senior, what I want you to help me with is to ask you to retrieve the Primordial Fire and give it to me!¡± Upon hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Empress Yan was stunned. Retrieve the Primordial Fire and give it to him? What about Yan¡¯er? Yan¡¯er also wants this Primordial Fire! Moreover, thinking of the disrespectful look he had just given her, Empress Yan felt a surge of anger. ¡°Impossible!¡± Empress Yan directly and decisively refused. However, Yang Chen had already guessed that she would refuse. After all, Lin Yan, his junior brother, also wanted it! ¡°Senior Empress Yan, the inheritance I obtained is special and cannot be separated from that Primordial Fire! So, this Primordial Fire is something that I must have!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Empress Yan snorted coldly. A hint of disdain shed across her enchanting face. ¡°The birth of a Primordial Fire urs at location that has the hottest temperature between heaven and earth! Not to mention you, even Nascent Soul and Soul Formation cultivators find it difficult to approach!¡± ¡°What Senior Empress Yan said is true!¡± Yang Chen nodded in agreement. ¡°Which is why I sought Senior Empress Yan¡¯s help! I think, Senior Empress Yan also doesn¡¯t want the Soul Cult cultivators to know about your existence, right?!¡± Chapter 33 - Carrot and Stick, Empress Yan Compromised! Chapter 33 - Carrot and Stick, Empress Yan Compromised! Chapter 33 ¡ª Carrot and Stick, Empress Yan Compromised! ¡°Wh-what!?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s words instantly stunned Empress Yan. In her charming eyes, there was panic and shock. This bastard, he really knows about the Soul Cult! Empress Yan¡¯s chest heaved up and down. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes widened. The description in the original work was indeed true. Those were magnificent and vast, with room for all. It looked like ridges from the side and mountains from the front! ¡°Bastard! Are you courting death? Watch your dog eyes!¡± Empress Yan quickly calmed down and then noticed Yang Chen¡¯s staring eyes. She immediately became angry. Her jade fists clenched. She endured the urge to p Yang Chen to death. Yang Chen rubbed his nose. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, please don¡¯t me me, after all, someone as beautiful as you, even if just a soul, are very attractive! I couldn¡¯t help it, I really couldn¡¯t help it, hehe!¡± Yang Chen smirked. Empress Yan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed deeply. This bastard, he¡¯s really despicable! She, Empress Yan, was a self-made empress. In the past, who dared to speak to her like this! Today, she was insulted by a Golden Core junior like this! Hateful, hateful! Worried that Empress Yan couldn¡¯t resist attacking, Yang Chen continued: ¡°Senior Empress Yan, Soul Cult cultivators specialize in hunting souls like yours! The reason why Senior didn¡¯t help Yan¡¯er earlier was probably because you sensed the Soul Cult cultivators, right? In fact, I also sensed them! That eagle-eyed cultivator is someone from the Soul Cult! And he¡¯s also hiding his cultivation base, his true cultivation base should be in thete Nascent Soul realm!¡± In the original work. This first Soul Cult cultivator to appear did indeed have cultivation in thete Nascent Soul realm. Although someone at thete stage of the Nascent Soul realm was not as strong as Empress Yan. However, Soul Cult cultivators had a strong techniques against souls. Thatte-stage Nascent Soul realm Soul Cult cultivator almost took Empress Yan away in the original work. He wasn¡¯t afraid of Empress Yan. Empress Yan¡¯s gaze flickered as she looked at Yang Chen and said coldly: ¡°Are you threatening me like this? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll kill you now?¡± Yang Chen smiled slightly, pointing outside. ¡°You can kill me, but can you kill Yuxiao? She is a genuine Soul Transformation realm cultivator! As long as I tell the Blood de Sect¡¯s Soul Cult cultivator, hehe, Senior Empress Yan, you should know the consequences!¡± ¡°Damn brat!¡± Empress Yan cursed angrily. Now she finally understood why Lin Yan always hated this guy. He was truly despicable! Outwardly gentle and refined, but malicious inside! Not only did he insult her, but he also used the Soul Cult to threaten her! As a former powerhouse who once ruled the world. When had Empress Yan ever been threatened like this! Those who dared to threaten her in the past were all pped to death by her. Empress Yan also wanted to p Yang Chen to death in front of her. But her mind told her she couldn¡¯t do that. Once she did, she would definitely be facing a dead end. She would rather wait in the ring space for thousands of years than die. Just to one day reunite with her physical body and then seek revenge against her enemies. She absolutely cannot afford to die right now. Moreover, if she were captured by the Soul Cult cultivators. The oue would be even more miserable than death! But if she agrees to this bastard Yang Chen, what about Yan¡¯er? He¡¯d been waiting to merge with the Primordial Fire! ¡°Yang Chen, Yan¡¯er is also waiting for this Primordial Fire! I¡¯ve already given him my word! You¡¯re his stepfather! Are you going topete with him?¡± Empress Yan said coldly. Yang Chen frowned, pretending to be embarrassed: ¡°This is indeed very difficult! But I¡¯m in a hurry, I can only inconvenience Yan¡¯er! In the future, I willpensate him ordingly! Also, if Senior Empress Yan helps me obtain the Primordial Fire, I have a Soul Stabilizing Pill here that I can give to Senior Empress Yan!¡± Yang Chen said, taking out a bottle. He opened it. A white light appeared. Empress Yan only nced at it and confirmed. It was indeed a Soul Stabilizing Pill! Her face instantly turned excited. The Soul Stabilizing Pill was something she needed the most now. Although it couldn¡¯t improve her strength, it could stabilize her soul. Currently, her soul could only survive with the help of the ring space. She couldn¡¯t stay outside the ring space for more than half an hour. However, if she took a Soul Stabilizing Pill, she could be free. Truly exist in the world in the form of a soul. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, you must think carefully! I think I don¡¯t need to exin the effect of the Soul Stabilizing Pill to you!¡± Yang Chen said lightly. A stick and a carrot. He didn¡¯t believe that Empress Yan wouldn¡¯t agree. After a moment. Empress Yan seemed to have made up her mind. She said in a deep voice: ¡°Yang Chen, I can agree to grant you this favor! However, I want the Soul Stabilizing Pill now!¡± Yang Chen shook his head: ¡°This won¡¯t work, Senior Empress Yan! If I give it to you, what if you go back on your word? ¡°If you don¡¯t give it to me, it will be difficult for me to bring out the Primordial Fire!¡± Empress Yan gritted her teeth. Yang Chen smiled: ¡°Senior Empress Yan is being modest! I believe in your strength! The Soul Stabilizing Pill will be given to you when you hand over the Primordial Fire to me!¡± ¡°You!¡± Empress Yan stared at Yang Chen with a fierce gaze. She really wanted to snatch the Soul Stabilizing Pill from him. But in the end, she didn¡¯t move. This damn brat. Just wait. Wait until my soul power recovers, the first thing I¡¯ll do is kill you! Chapter 34 - Go to the Blood Blade Sect for Me and Capture Someone! Chapter 34 - Go to the Blood de Sect for Me and Capture Someone! Chapter 34 ¡ª Go to the Blood de Sect for Me and Capture Someone! Empress Yan left Yang Chen¡¯s room. She returned to Lin Yan¡¯s small courtyard. Lin Yan had not yet awakened. Empress Yan waved her jade hand, and a red energy fell on Lin Yan¡¯s eyebrows. Lin Yan¡¯s eyshes trembled, and he opened his eyes. ¡°Master! What just happened?¡± Lin Yan was confused. He was practicing just now, but suddenly lost consciousness and fainted. ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± Yan¡¯s tone was somewhat tired, and did not bother exining. The confrontation with Yang Chen, that bastard, had tired her out. Especially now that she had agreed to that bastard¡¯s conditions. But how was she to face Yan¡¯er? ¡°Master, I see that the volcanic eruption in the Red Cloud Mountains is about to end! In a few days, the Primordial Fire should appear!¡± Lin Yan said excitedly. ¡°Mm.¡± Empress Yan nodded without saying a word, looking elsewhere. She really wanted to tell Lin Yan. That bastard Yang Chen threatened his master with the Soul Cult and made her hand over the Primordial Fire to him, so you won¡¯t get it. But she couldn¡¯t bring herself to say it. Because the reason she agreed was only half because of Yang Chen¡¯s threat. The other half was because of the Soul Stabilising Pill Yang Chen offered her. She urgently needed that Soul Stabilising Pill to stabilize her soul. Sigh. Yan¡¯er, can you understand Master? ¡­ Three dayster. The volcanic eruption in the Red Cloud Mountains gradually ceased. Suddenly, golden rays of light shot straight into the sky from various areas of Red Cloud City. A treasure had appeared. Who wouldn¡¯t want to get it? Even some Foundation Building cultivators flew with their swords, braving the spurting and shooting magma in the sky, and went one after another. Yang Chen stood in the hall, with Qing¡¯er standing beside him. ¡°Brother, a treasure has appeared. Aren¡¯t you going?¡± Qing¡¯er hugged his arm, rubbing her sleepy eyes with some confusion. Yang Chen rubbed her head. ¡°Not going, brother wants to apany you to y!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Qing¡¯er¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°Hehe, Brother, you¡¯re so nice!¡± Upon hearing this, Qing¡¯er immediately revealed two dimples, obviously very happy. The little girl hugged Yang Chen¡¯s arm tightly. Very attached to him. Last night, the little girl insisted that Yang Chen hold her as she slept. But Yang Chen refused. He was afraid that he would fail to control himself and would do something beastly. After all, the little girl was no longer the pitiful little girl she used to be. She was now a fairy with a certain size and outstanding temperament. Hugging her to sleep, oh, the consequences were unimaginable. Yang Chen rubbed the little girl¡¯s head with his big hand, but his eyes were looking at the distant Red Cloud Mountains, thinking in his heart. If the Primordial Fire that Junior Brother Lin Yan had been looking forward to was handed over to his stepfather by his master. Then how desperate would Junior Brother Lin Yan be? Sigh. At that time, there will definitely be another wave of VPs heading his way! Haha. Yang Chen didn¡¯t need to worry about what happened in the Red Cloud Mountains. He only needed to control Empress Yan, this chess piece. Next, he had more important things to do. That was not make Empress Yan not even dare resist! Make her obediently obey his orders! After ying with Qing¡¯er for a while and telling her about the things of the Xuantian Sect, the little girl happily went to cultivate. Beside Yang Chen, a dark shadow appeared. ¡°This little girl¡¯s physique is not simple!¡± Ye Yuxiao also noticed Qing¡¯er¡¯s special physique. Because once a Pure Spirit Holy Physique cultivates, there will be a lingering aura of spiritual energy around them, with an extraordinary temperament. ¡°This little girl is so beautiful. If she grows up for another two years, she will definitely grow into a stunning beauty that can overturn a country! Holy Son, can you bear to just treat her as a sister?¡± Ye Yuxiao teased. Yang Chen¡¯s mouth raised a yful smile. ¡°In front of me stands a stunning beauty who can overturn a country! Sister Ye Yuxiao, are you not hot wearing the ck robe all the time?¡± Ye Yuxiao was stunned. Then she scolded: ¡°Do you think I want to? I¡¯m wearing this ck robe because your master instructed me! Fearing that you, this little pervert, would see your sister¡¯s stunning beauty and not focus on cultivation!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Chenughed. He was hearing this reason for the first time. There was no exnation or note made in the original text about this. ¡°Then, Sister Ye Yuxiao, take off the ck robe! I want to see Sister Ye Yuxiao¡¯s peerless beauty and devilish figure!¡± ¡°No way!¡± Ye Yuxiao directly refused. ¡°Do you know what the consequences are for disobeying your master¡¯s orders?¡± Yang Chen was stunned. It was clear that Sister Ye Yuxiao was quite afraid of his master. In the original text, although his master was very good to him. However, her means were quite ruthless towards others. Ye Yuxiao, as his master¡¯s maid, had been with her since she was a child, naturally knew this the best. Moreover, her cultivation level, although also at the Soul Transformation realm. But she had already reached the peak of the Soul Transformation realm, only one step away from the Void Refinement Realm. She usually secluded herself in order to break through to the Void Refining realm. With such strength, Ye Yuxiao, even if she reached the Soul Transformation stage, could not raise the idea of rebellion. ¡°Well then, forget it! Such a pity!¡± Yang Chen clicked his tongue, then said seriously: ¡°Sister Ye Yuxiao, I asked you toe to ask you to do something for me! Go to the Blood de Sect and capture someone for me! His true strength is in thete Nascent Soul realm, but his methods are quite sinister, so you need to be careful!¡± ¡°Rest assured, thete Nascent Soul realm is no problem!¡± ¡­ After Ye Yuxiao left. Yang Chen said to the system: ¡°System, are there any pills that can control others?¡± [Host, for pills that can control others, the system rmends the Soul Attaching Mother Larva Pill. After taking the Larva Pill, the cultivator will unconditionally obey the one who controls the Mother Larva Pill, which can control the other party¡¯s cultivation and life and death. It can be exchanged for 800 VPs] ¡°Soul Attaching Mother Larva Pill, 800 Viinous Points! Ah, I really don¡¯t have enough VPs to spend!¡± Yang Chen sighed helplessly. But he still exchanged it for 800 viin points. The VPs spent on Empress Yan alone added up to 1800 points. Hopefully, in the future, this enchanting Empress Yan could provide him with enough VPs to make up for the loss. At this moment. In the Red Cloud Mountains. In the central area of the numerous volcanic eruptions. A blue light gradually appeared. ¡°Master, this green Primordial Fire, which one is it on the Primordial Fire Ranking?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really the Green Lotus Heavenly me!¡± Empress Yan blurted out. She was shocked in her heart. That bastard Yang Chen actually got it right. ¡°Really? Did Master know about it earlier?¡± Lin Yan asked. ¡°Ah, no!¡± Yan hurriedly said: ¡°Master was just guessing! Yan¡¯er, the Greem Lotus Heavenly me ranks 58th on the Primordial Fire Ranking, extremely terrifying. You might find it difficult to refine and integrate it!¡± ¡°Master, I have no choice!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face showed a hint of madness. ¡°No matter how difficult it is to integrate, I must try! Otherwise, when can I surpass Yang Chen? When can I cut off the head of that dog thief scoundrel!? I have suffered so much humiliation, only this Primordial Fire can help me wash it away!¡± Empress Yan sighed in her heart. Lin Yan¡¯s obsession with the Primordial Fire was too deep. She was really worried. If the Primordial Fire was handed over to Yang Chen. Lin Yan might not be able to withstand this blow. But she had no choice. That bastard Yang Chen not only threatened her with the Soul Cult but had also offered her a Soul Stabilising Pill. She really had no way to refuse. Chapter 35 - Controlling a Soul Cult Cultivator, Deterring Empress Yan! Chapter 35 - Controlling a Soul Cult Cultivator, Deterring Empress Yan! Chapter 35 ¨C Controlling a Soul Cult Cultivator, Deterring Empress Yan! The green light became more intense. Following it was a scorching heat. ¡°This temperature is unreasonable!¡± ¡°The spiritual fire in my body is trembling!¡± ¡°Could it be that the treasure in the Red Cloud Mountains is a Primordial Fire!?¡± Some fire attribute cultivators made this inference. Instantly, the surrounding crowd was stunned. Primordial Fire. That was the most precious treasure in the world. The 108 Primordial Fires on the Primordial Fire List were known to all cultivators. If the treasure here was a Primordial Fire. Then, the fire attribute cultivators in the entire Northern Spiritual Realm would probably be excited! ¡°Quickly send a message to the sect, say that there may be a Primordial Fire appearing, and let the sect dispatch Nascent Soul realm cultivators!¡± ¡°Quickly inform the sect master, just say that a Primordial Fire has appeared, the sect master is a Soul Transformation realm fire cultivator. Our zing me Sect will definitely have it!¡± Disciples from various sects began to secretlymunicate. Because the Primordial Fire was too precious. Once confirmed, it would definitely cause a bloody battle. Dozens of cultivators from the Xuantian Sect also arrived, and they had already sent a message to the sect. The green light gradually faded away, revealing the volcano below. Many sect disciples were eager to go down and investigate. But they stopped their actions. Because although the volcano was no longer erupting, it was filled with magma. These magma connected to the earth¡¯s veins, and who knew how thick they were. ¡°There is too much magma in the volcano, it¡¯s simply a magmake, who can go down there?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that without the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul stage, one would not be able to pass through this magmake!¡± At this moment, several old figures walked out one after another and entered the magmake. They were all elders from various sects who hade with them, and they were all fire attribute Nascent Soul stage cultivators. ¡°Master, shall we begin too! Don¡¯t let these old fogies get ahead of us!¡± Lin Yan muttered in his heart. ¡°Alright! Yan¡¯er, you don¡¯t need to go, Master alone is enough! The temperature of this magmake is too high, your body can¡¯t bear it!¡± Empress Yan said. ¡°Okay, then Master, be careful!¡± ¡°En!¡± A faint red soul shadow left Lin Yan¡¯s body and rushed directly into the magmake. ¡°Hehe, Primordial Fire, I finally will obtain you! Yang Chen, you scoundrel, wait, wait until I refine the Primordial Fire, it will be your death!¡± Thinking that he would soon possess the Primordial Fire, Lin Yan¡¯s confidence soared once again. He walked to Shen Xueyan¡¯s side and asked with a smile: ¡°Sister Xueyan! Have you refined that Red Cloud Grass?¡± Shen Xueyan nced at him; her eyebrows slightly furrowed. For some reason, whenever she saw Lin Yan now, she felt a bit ufortable. She always remembered that in the Treasure Pavilion, in order to save his life, he publicly admitted that Yang Chen was his stepfather. Although this was an objective fact. But this guy never admitted it normally, and when anyone mentioned it, he would get belligerent and fight. But at a critical moment, he brought it up. This made her feel a bit disdainful. ¡°I have.¡± Shen Xueyan said lightly. After all, the Red Cloud Grass was found with his help. ¡°I knew it, Sister Xueyan¡¯s cultivation has improved a lot!¡± ¡°En!¡± Shen Xueyan lightly agreed, but did not speak again. Her expression was cold. Lin Yan secretly resented this, clenching his fists. Senior Sister Xueyan must look down on me because of the previous incident. All because of that damned scoundrel Yang Chen. Hateful, so hateful. Before, Sister Xueyan was always very enthusiastic towards me. Now, she has be like this. No, I must quickly reach the Golden Core stage and surpass Sister Xueyan. It all depends on the Primordial Fire. Master, you must not disappoint me. At this moment, Empress Yan arrived at the magmake. She went deep into it by hundreds of meters. Although the elders at the Nascent Soul stage could endure the high temperature of the magmake. But after only about a hundred meters, they began to retreat. Because the deeper into the magmake, the higher the temperature. At the bottom of the magmake, there was a space supported by green light. In the center of the space, a green lotus was rooted in the magma. Above the green lotus, a green me lingered. ¡°Green Lotus Heavenly me!¡± Empress Yan was excited. As a powerful fire cultivator, she instinctively felt close to mes. Moreover, she also possessed a Primordial Fire. She deeply understood that the birth of a Primordial Fire was a miracle of heaven and earth. Empress Yan approached the green lotus and then reached out her jade hand, enveloping the green lotus with a red me. Boom! The green me erupted instantly. The mes filled the entire space. If it were any other cultivator, even a Soul Transformation realm one, enduring such an eruption would inevitably result in serious injuries. The red me on Empress Yan¡¯s body blossomed, wrapping around her and barely resisting the green mes. ¡°Phew, that was close! As expected of a newly matured Primordial Fire, anyone under the Soul Transformation realm, would be killed on approach! Fortunately, I was prepared!¡± Empress Yan took the green lotus and temporarily sealed it. Then she quickly left the space. At this time, in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Ye Yuxiao carried a spiritual energy chain in her hand, leading a middle-aged man with a dry face like wood. ¡°Holy Son, I¡¯ve brought the person you wanted! This guy indeed has sinister means, and he doesn¡¯t look like a cultivator from our Northern Spiritual Realm!¡± Ye Yuxiao said. ¡°You better release me immediately! Otherwise, you will only bring destruction to your Xuantian Sect!¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s voice was hoarse and extremely unpleasant. ¡°You shut up, stop talking, it¡¯s so annoying!¡± Ye Yuxiao couldn¡¯t stand it and coldly scolded. ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen smiled. ¡°Is your Soul Cult going to destroy my Xuantian Sect just for you, a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator?¡± ¡°What, you!¡± The middle-aged man was suddenly shocked. How could this Golden Core kid know about the Soul Cult!? He secretly came to the Northern Spiritual Realm, except for the Sect Master of the Blood de Sect, he had never revealed his identity to anyone. ¡°Who told you?¡± ¡°Never mind who told me, I¡¯ll treat you to something good first!¡± Saying that, Yang Chen took out the Soul Attaching Mother Larva Pill that he exchanged for 800 VPs. He wanted to control this Soul Cult cultivator. He couldn¡¯t let the other party disrupt his ns. Moreover, controlling this Soul Cult cultivator could also deter Empress Yan. Make her obedient and listen to his orders. Otherwise, what if that woman makes a firm decision and takes Lin Yan away, along with the Primordial Fire? The Soul Cult cultivator had a method of tracking souls. Even if Empress Yan ran away, as long as she didn¡¯t run thousands of miles away, her whereabouts could be traced! Chapter 36 - Master and Disciple鈥檚 Rift! Chapter 36 - Master and Disciple¡¯s Rift! Chapter 36 ¡ª Master and Disciple¡¯s Rift! At this moment, Empress Yan emerged from the magmake and entered the ring. ¡°Master, did it work?¡± Lin Yan asked eagerly. ¡°Mm. Yan¡¯er, let¡¯s go back. There¡¯s something I need to discuss with you,¡± Empress Yan said. ¡°Okay!¡± Without even greeting Shen Xueyan, Lin Yan hurriedly left the area. Instead of returning to Red Cloud City, Lin Yan flew hundreds of miles eastward towards the eastern part of the Red Cloud Mountains, stopping at a cave. ¡°Master, shall I start refining it now?¡± Empress Yan¡¯s faint figure appeared, with a hint of fatigue on her enchanting face. Resisting the eruption and sealing of the Green Lotus Heavenly me just now had consumed a lot of her soul power. ¡°Yan¡¯er, there¡¯s something I need to discuss with you,¡± Empress Yan hesitated. She had originally nned to take out the Primordial Fire and directly find Yang Chen to exchange it for the Soul Stabilizing Pill. However, as master and disciple, she wanted to make things clear to Lin Yan and hoped to gain his consent. ¡°Master, what is it?¡± Lin Yan asked excitedly. ¡°Well ¡­ I met with Yang Chen yesterday,¡± Empress Yan said. ¡°He told me that the reason for his rapid cultivation progress is because he obtained an inheritance. The Green Lotus Heavenly me is part of that inheritance. He wants me to give him the Primordial Fire.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Lin Yan interrupted. ¡°Master, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense! He just wants the Primordial Fire!¡± ¡°But Yan¡¯er, Yang Chen also knows about the existence of Soul Cult cultivators. He¡¯s using this as a threat against me. He even took out a Soul Stabilizing Pill, hoping to exchange it for the Primordial Fire.¡± ¡°A threat? This bastard is showing his true colors!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face turned fierce. ¡°Master, you must not agree to him! Yang Chen is a despicable man, I¡¯ve known it for a long time! Moreover, the Soul Stabilizing Pill is nowhere near as precious as the Primordial Fire!¡± ¡°But Yan¡¯er, the Soul Stabilizing Pill is the most needed pill for me right now!¡± Empress Yan expressed her thoughts. ¡°I want to use the Soul Stabilizing Pill for the exchange, but don¡¯t worry. After I refine the Soul Stabilizing Pill to stabilize my soul, I can give you my Earth Core Red Fire! It ranks 62nd on the Primordial Fire List, not far from the Green Lotus Heavenly me!¡± ¡°This ¡­¡± Lin Yan hesitated. He had long set his sights on the Earth Core Red Fire that his master would give him, as he knew his master would give it to him eventually. After all, his master¡¯s cultivation had already shown signs of being aided by the Primordial Fire. But now, his master wanted to exchange the Earth Core Red Fire for the Green Lotus Heavenly me. If that happened, wouldn¡¯t he only have one kind of Primordial Fire? After some thought, Lin Yan shook his head and said, ¡°Master, how can I take your Earth Core Red Fire? You must not fall for Yang Chen¡¯s tricks! He is a scoundrel!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Upon hearing this, Empress Yan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. In fact, she had anticipated Lin Yan¡¯s response before she came. This kid had been coveting her Earth Core Red Fire for a long time. He had asked several times before whether she would give it to him. Now, he was saying he didn¡¯t want it. He wanted both Primordial Fires! Couldn¡¯t he think about her as his master? With the Soul Stabilizing Pill, she wouldn¡¯t have to stay in the dark ring all the time. She had been there for thousands of years and didn¡¯t want to continue staying. Empress Yan felt very disappointed. Just then ¡­ A ck figure flew towards the two of them. The figure was very fast, and in an instant, it arrived nearby. ¡°Soul Cult cultivator!¡± Empress Yan was stunned, her face changing dramatically. ¡°Master, did you see that? Yang Chen is an untrustworthy person! You must not give him the Green Lotus Heavenly me!¡± Lin Yan took the opportunity to say. However, the middle-aged man sneered coldly, ¡°Empress Yan, right? Rest assured, I¡¯m not here to capture you. I am here on behalf of my master to retrieve the strange fire from you!¡± ¡°Who is your master?¡± Empress Yan¡¯s brows furrowed, preparing herself for a life-and-death battle. ¡°My master is naturally the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, Yang Chen!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Empress Yan was stunned. Yang Chen, the master of the Soul Cult cultivator? How could this be possible!? The middle-aged man continued, ¡°My master has already instructed me to bring the Soul Stabilizing Pill to you!¡± The middle-aged man threw the Soul Stabilizing Pill directly to Empress Yan. Empress Yan took it, and Lin Yan hurriedly said, ¡°Master, now that we have the Soul Stabilizing Pill, let¡¯s leave quickly! That idiot Yang Chen is too arrogant!¡± Empress Yan sighed and looked at Lin Yan with eyes full of affection. Yan¡¯er, Yan¡¯er. Do you think everyone else is a fool? Yang Chen sent the Soul Cult cultivator to prevent me from escaping! ¡°Hmph, leave?¡± The dry middle-aged man sneered. ¡°Although I am only at the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with the secret techniques of the Soul Cult, it isn¡¯t a problem for me to beat your Soul Transformation realm soul body! Think carefully! My master said that if attempt to leave, I can devour your soul!¡± ¡°Here¡¯s the Primordial Fire!¡± Empress Yan threw out a green light. The dry middle-aged man caught it, looking somewhat regretful, then turned into a ck light and disappeared into the sky. ¡°Master, why did you give it to him?¡± Lin Yan¡¯s face turned ck, his expression fierce as he roared, ¡°Without the Green Lotus Heavenly me, how can my cultivation progress? How can I seek revenge against Yang Chen? Do you know how long I¡¯ve been waiting for this Primordial Fire?¡± Empress Yan looked disappointed and helpless. ¡°Yan¡¯er, after I refine the Soul Stabilizing Pill, I will give you the Earth Core Red Fire. Or, I can give you all the techniques I¡¯ve cultivated!¡± With that, Empress Yan turned into a red light and entered the ring. Inside the ring, Empress Yan¡¯s enchanting eyes revealed disappointment and sadness that could no longer be concealed. She murmured to herself, ¡°After refining the Soul Stabilizing Pill andpletely leaving the ring space, I will give the Earth Core Red Fire to Yan¡¯er, and then I will leave him! Over these years, I¡¯ve helped him enough! But he never once thought about his master! He only wants to kill Yang Chen, but that Yang Chen has many tricks up his sleeve. Even I can¡¯t see through him. He can control Soul Cult cultivators and produce Soul Stabilizing Pills. I don¡¯t know if he has Body Refining Pills. Looks like I¡¯ll have to pay him a visit again in the future!¡± Chapter 37 - If Only I Could Give Junior Brother Lin Yan Another Younger Brother! Chapter 37 - If Only I Could Give Junior Brother Lin Yan Another Younger Brother! Chapter 37 ¡ª If Only I Could Give Junior Brother Lin Yan Another Younger Brother! On the other side. The withered middle-aged man knelt on one knee before Yang Chen and offered the Green Lotus Heavenly me with cupped fists. ¡°Master, I have obtained it!¡± The withered middle-aged man¡¯s name was Yin Jiu. His realm was at the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In the Soul Cult, he was one of the nine dharma protectors of the Yin Hall. Although he was beyond resentful towards Yang Chen and wanted to kill him right at the moment, he could only kneel respectfully on the ground. Because a parasitic insect had been imnted in his soul pce. If Yang Chen wished, a single thought could instantly kill him. And if Yang Chen died, he would also die with him. So now, he had to obey Yang Chen¡¯s orders unconditionally. When Yang Chen received the Green Lotus Heavenly me, he only felt a scorching heat. It had a seal left by the me Empress on it. But it shouldn¡¯t hold out for long. Once the Primordial Fire erupted, even with his peak Golden Core realm cultivation, he would find it difficult to withstand it. Yang Chen was about to call out Ye Yuxiao to help him reseal it, and hold out until they reached Xuantian Sect. But the system¡¯s voice came before he could: [Ding! Host threatened and coerced Lin Yan¡¯s master, the me Empress, forcing her to hand over the Primordial Green Lotus Heavenly me. Lin Yan¡¯s mentality copsed, depriving the child of destiny Lin Yan of 4000 points of Providence Luck. Host has been rewarded with 4000 VPs!] [Ding! A rift has been created between Lin Yan and his master, the me Empress, depriving the Son of Destiny Lin Yan of 3000 points of Providence Luck. Host has been rewarded with 3000 VPs!] Huh? Yang Chen was dazed. Such heavy rewards? A total of 7000 viin points. And their rtionship has strained? Not bad. Unexpectedly, his own operation sessfully created a rift between them. In the original work, although Lin Yan had a vast harem, the most important and closest person to him was undoubtedly the me Empress. Now that their rtionship has cracked, it will be much easier to deal with his Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan in the future. However, if merely creating a crack in their rtionship could deprive Lin Yan of two thousand points, then if he made me Empresspletely submit to him, how many destiny points would be deprived from Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan? [TN: It isn¡¯t a mistake, it¡¯s a typo by the author.] What if he gave his Junior Brother another younger brother? Damn. Let¡¯s not even think about it, let¡¯s not. [Host, detected that you have seized Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan¡¯s main opportunity, the Green Lotus Heavenly me. Friendly reminder, you can spend 300 viinous points to have the system help you refine and integrate it 100% safely!] ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Chen was delighted. This system was really not bad. In refining the Primordial Fire, even with me Empress¡¯s help in the original work, Lin Yan only had a 30% chance of sess. But the system could guarantee 100% safety. Not bad, not bad. Yang Chen spent 300 viinous points. Instantly, the Green Lotus Heavenly me in his hand directly entered his body. A terrifying high temperature swept through his entire body. However, although the heat was terrifying, it did not cause any damage to Yang Chen. The origin of the Green Lotus Heavenly me was slowly integrating into his body. Yin Jiu, witnessing this scene, was even more terrified. Although his master¡¯s cultivation realm was only at the Golden Core realm, he dared to directly absorb the Primordial Fire. Moreover, he waspletely unharmed. That was a Primordial Fire, after all. Even Soul Transformation and Void Refinement realm cultivators would not dare to directly absorb it! Thest shred of defiance in Yin Jiu¡¯s heartpletely disappeared after witnessing this scene. ¡­ A few dayster, The Xuantian Sect and various major sects sent Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul realm cultivators. But after entering the magmake, they found nothing. The Primordial Fire had already been taken away. In the Red Cloud City. ¡°Have you heard? The Primordial Fire at the bottom of the magmake was the 58th ranked Green Lotus Heavenly me on the Primordial Fire List, and it seems to have been taken by the Xuantian Holy Son!¡± ¡°Is that true or false?¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably true, because the one who said it was reportedly Lin Yan, the Holy Son¡¯s adopted son!¡± ¡°Lin Yan? The one who publicly imed to be the adopted son of the Xuantian Holy Son at the Treasure Pavilion, causing the Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son to let him off?¡± ¡°Correct, that¡¯s him!¡± ¡°This kid really is ungrateful, spreading such rumours!¡± ¡°If I were the Xuantian Holy Son, I would p this unfilial son to death!¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± Nearby, Lin Yan, who was listening to the surrounding people¡¯s conversations, had a ferocious expression. The information was indeed spread by him. That bastard Yang Chen snatched the Primordial Fire that belonged to him, so he wanted to severely upset Yang Chen, not letting him be at ease. But why did these bastards always pick on him? Did they think Lin Yan was easy to bully? Damn it! He really wanted to go over and kill them all! Cold light flickered in Lin Yan¡¯s eyes. At this time, a few more people walked over and said: ¡°Did you hear? That senior elder from the Blood de Sect has announced a reward ¨C whoever kills Lin Yan will receive one hundred thousand spirit stones, plus a fifth-grade spirit weapon called the Blood de!¡± [Note: Spirit weapons and pills are graded from one to nine, with nine being the highest.] ¡°What? One hundred thousand spirit stones and a fifth-grade spirit weapon, the Blood de!¡± ¡°Those are enough to buy a secr nation!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not all ¨C Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation fire cultivators have announced they want to capture Lin Yan to force the Xuantian Holy Son to hand over the Primordial Fire!¡± ¡°This Lin Yan is now a real treasure!¡± Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Yan¡¯s expression became increasingly ferocious. Damn it. Are these people all insane? The Blood de Sect offering one hundred thousand spirit stones as a reward for killing me is one thing. But those fire cultivators, are they brain-damaged? Capturing me to force Yang Chen to hand over the Primordial Fire? That bastard is the one who most wants me dead! Scoundrels! Lin Yan became afraid. His master was currently refining the Soul Stabilizing Pill, which too about half a month. During this period, he could only keep a low profile. The lesson given by the Blood de¡¯s Holy Sonst time was still fresh in his memory. Forget it, he¡¯ll return to the Xuantian Sect first. Just as Lin Yan arrived on the flying boat, Xueyan walked straight towards him. ¡°Senior Martial Sister Xueyan!¡± Seeing Xueyan, Lin Yan¡¯s mood unusually improved a little. Currently, the only one who could provide himfort was Senior Martial Sister Xueyan. ¡°Senior Martial Sister Xueyan, are you looking for me?¡± Lin Yan revealed a puppy-like smile on his face, his gaze furtively sweeping over Xueyan¡¯s exquisite figure. Xueyan coldly said: ¡°Lin Yan, my grandfather is looking for you!¡± Lin Yan was stunned. ¡°The Seventh Elder is looking for me?¡± In the Xuantian Sect, the elders ranked by number were the seven core elders. All of them had reached the Soul Transformation realm and were the pirs of the Xuantian Sect. This time, the core elder the Xuantian Sect sent out topete for the Primordial Fire was the Seventh Elder, Xueyan¡¯s grandfather. Lin Yan had a bad premonition in his heart. He wanted to leave directly. But Xueyan had already drawn her long sword, blocking his path. ¡°Lin Yan, don¡¯t make things difficult for me!¡± Xueyan said coldly. ¡°Senior Martial Sister Xueyan, you ¡­!¡± Lin Yan found it hard to believe that his goddess was actually pointing her sword at him. Damn it! The key was, he couldn¡¯t defeat her! Lin Yan followed Xueyan to a grand hall on the flying boat. ¡°Lin Yan, you have a lot of nerve! Did you spread the news that the Holy Son has obtained the Green Lotus Heavenly me?¡± An old man with white hair was seated on the left side of the hall. He immediately interrogated Lin Yan in an overbearing manner. The pressure of a Soul Transformation realm weighed down on Lin Yan. Unable to withstand it, he directly knelt on the ground. Raising his head, he caught Yang Chen, sitting at the centre, looking at him with feigned concern. Bastard. Lin Yan inwardly roared; his fists clenched tightly. ¡°Hmph, Lin Yan, you have ulterior motives! You deserve to be beheaded!¡± The Seventh Elder angrily dered. He had been cultivating in seclusion recently. He had juste out. Upon leaving seclusion, he heard that his granddaughter had her engagement with the Holy Son cancelled. He also learned from some people the reason behind it. It was because there was a kid named Lin Yan constantly harassing his granddaughter. The Holy Son became disheartened and chose to annul the engagement. Now the Holy Son¡¯s cultivation had rapidly advanced to the peak of the Golden Core realm, and he had even integrated a Primordial Fire. In the future, he would definitely inherit the sect master position. Originally, he should have be his granddaughter¡¯s husband. But now ¡­ Just thinking about it infuriated him. The Seventh Elder vented all his anger on Lin Yan. He directly wanted to behead him as a retaliation. But Yang Chen was unwilling to let this happen. He was still here, yet they wanted to kill his adopted son? This was uneptable! Yang Chen¡¯s expression instantly darkened. ¡°Seventh Elder, you must consider the master when beating the dog. How can you do this to Lin Yan, my adopted son? Aren¡¯t your actions akin to pping me in the face?¡± Chapter 38 - The Feeling of Bullying Others! Im So Angry! Chapter 38 - The Feeling of Bullying Others! I''m So Angry! Chapter 38 ¡ª The Feeling of Bullying Others! I¡¯m So Angry! ¡°Holy Son, I didn¡¯t mean it that way!¡± the Seventh Elder immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly exined. In his anger, he had forgotten that Lin Yan was now Yang Chen¡¯s stepson. ¡°But Holy Son, Lin Yan¡¯s actions must be punished!¡± A Nascent Sou elder on the side, said. ¡°Yes, Lin Yan not only beheaded the son of an Elder from the Blood de Sect but also spread the rumours of your acquisition of the Primordial Fire, causing chaos in our Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°Holy Son, even if he is your stepson, you cannot protect him like this!¡± ¡°Lin Yan must be punished, you are too lenient with him!¡± Several elders spoke vehemently, strongly demanding punishment. ¡°Um?¡± Yang Chen pretended to be troubled. Looking at Lin Yan kneeling on the ground, he said helplessly, ¡°Yan¡¯er, what the elders said also makes sense. You have caused quite a bit of trouble recently! ¡°Alright then, as your father, I¡¯ll punish you by confining you to the Yuhan Cliff for a year!¡± [TL note: Óĺ®Ñ (Yuh¨¢n Y¨¢): This phrase refers to Youhan Cliff, a secluded and forbidding location. The name suggests that the confinement will be harsh/coldand unpleasant.] ¡°Holy Son, isn¡¯t this punishment too light?¡± one elder questioned. Yang Chen frowned. ¡°Yan¡¯er is young and ignorant, it¡¯s inevitable that he would cause some trouble! You don¡¯t need to say anything more! I have my own reasons!¡± Yang Chen indeed had a reason. The reason he was confining Lin Yan to the Yuhan Cliff was that there was a great gift waiting for him there. Yang Chen looked at Lin Yan again, ¡°Yan¡¯er, during this year, reflect on your actions and strive to correct your mistakes!¡± ¡°Take your time, your mother and I will visit you together!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Lin Yan, kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists, his fingernails deeply embedded in his flesh. Yang Chen, you son of a bitch. Stealing my Primordial Fire and humiliating me like this! I will definitely kill you by a thousand cuts! [TN: Death by a thousand cuts, aka, Lingchi. Caveat: It gets gory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingchi] Unable to help himself, Lin Yan nced at Shen Xueyan. Although she was facing him, her gaze was always on Yang Chen. He suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. His Primordial Fire was stolen. Could it be that Shen Xueyan¡¯s heart was also going to be stolen? Ah! Bastard! Yang Chen, you truly deserve to die! Cough! Lin Yan was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then he passed outpletely. He happened to fall at Shen Xueyan¡¯s feet. ¡°Ah!¡± The blood sttered on Shen Xueyan¡¯s skirt. Shen Xueyan¡¯s face turned sour. This Lin Yan, really. The Holy Son was protecting him, yet he still had such a fiery temper! ¡°Yan¡¯er!¡± Yang Chen quickly walked over, looking worried. Yan¡¯er, don¡¯t die of anger. Now is not the time for you to die. He ced his hands at the tip of Lin Yan¡¯s nose. Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yan¡¯er was still alive. [Ding! Host has once again punished Lin Yan in public as his stepfather. Feeling the gaze of the female supporting character Shen Xueyan always lingering on the host, Lin Yan is overwhelmed with anger and faints. The host has plundered 600 Providence Luck from Lin Yan, the Son of Destiny, and is rewarded with 600 VPs!] Hmm? Not bad, not bad. A yful smile appeared at the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s lips. Another wave of Viinous points. Several dayster. The flying boat returned to the Xuantian Sect. Yang Chen arrived at the foot of the Holy Son Peak. A tall figure was holding a baby, followed by a little follower waiting for him. ¡°Husband!¡± When Lin Xn saw Yang Chen, her nose tingled, and her eyes turned slightly red. During this time, she had dreamt every night of her husband¡¯s return. Although it was only a separation of a dozen days, it felt like three autumns to her. Yang Chen also walked quickly to Lin Xn¡¯s side and hugged her into his arms. ¡°Wife!¡± ¡°I¡¯m back!¡± ¡°Husband, I missed you so much!¡± Yang Chen hugged Lin Xn¡¯s waist, smelling the fragrance emanating from her. He felt his blood boil. During these dozen days, he had been holding back. ¡°Daddy, I want a hug too!¡± On the side, Yang Chi said in a childish voice, interrupting the affection between the two. ¡°Alright, daddy will hug you!¡± Yang Chen squatted down and picked him up. In the distance. Lin Yan happened to see this happy family scene. Instantly, he clenched his fists, his pale face showing veins popping. ¡°Lin Yan, what are you looking at? Hurry up ande with us to the Yuhan Cliff!¡± A Golden Core realm cultivator beside him said coldly. And he pushed Lin Yan hard, almost causing him to fall on his face. ¡°Damn you, bastard!!¡± Lin Yan turned around and red at him fiercely. ¡°You dare to re at me? Do you believe I¡¯ll arrange for you to stay in the coldest ce on the Yuhan Cliff!¡± The Golden Core realm cultivator was furious. ¡°How dare you!¡± Lin Yan wasn¡¯t afraid at all and turned around to curse, ¡± ¡°You goddamn dog-eyed bastard! Do you know who I am?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are!¡± ¡°A mere Foundation realm cultivator, you think you can defy the heavens?¡± The Golden Core realm cultivator sneered. At this moment, a Golden Core elder of the Xuantian Sect hurried over. He gave the Golden Core cultivator a p on the head. ¡°Who do you think you are to hit Young Master Yan?¡± ¡°Young, Young Master Yan?¡± The Golden Core cultivator was stunned. ¡°Lin Yan is the stepson of our Holy Son, you, don¡¯t you want to live? How dare you be rough with Lin Yan! Quick, apologize to Lin Yan!¡± The elder reprimanded sharply. ¡°Holy Son¡¯s stepson?¡± The Golden Core cultivator was stunned. Then he remembered something and quickly apologized, ¡°Lin Yan, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! It¡¯s my fault, my fault! I didn¡¯t know you were the Holy Son¡¯s stepson! I have been staying at the Yuhan Cliff for this period of time,cking information about the outside world, and didn¡¯t recognize you!¡± The Golden Core cultivator immediately bowed. Lin Yan looked at him acting like a ve, feeling inexplicably refreshed. Suddenly, he realized. Having power felt so damn good! Moreover, the words ¡®Holy Son¡¯s stepson¡¯ didn¡¯t seem to repel him as much as before. If it were in the past, if someone mentioned him as the Holy Son¡¯s stepson, he would definitely have fought them. But after the incident with Blood de Sect¡¯s Holy Son, he suddenly felt that his resistance had decreased significantly. Damn it. Why am I so despicable now? Lin Yan cursed himself inwardly. But he didn¡¯t deny it, instead saying coldly, ¡°It¡¯s good that you know! If you dare to disrespect me again, I¡¯ll take your life with just a word!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s my fault, I will definitely repent in the future!¡± The Golden Core cultivator nodded repeatedly, then took out a storage bag. ¡°Lin Yan, this is a token of my respect for you, there are five thousand spirit stones inside!¡± ¡°Five thousand?¡± Lin Yan furrowed his brow tightly. Last time, Li Junfeng, a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator at the Ninth Stage, gave ten thousand spirit stones for a single act. Now, this Golden Core cultivator was only giving five thousand? ¡°Lin Yan, these five thousand are a token of my respect for you, and this is also my way of apologizing to you!¡± The Golden Core cultivator winced, but still handed over another five thousand spirit stones. ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Yan snorted, epting all the spirit stones. This feeling of bullying others with power was truly satisfying. Now, I can use Yang Chen¡¯s name to do evil and amass wealth. Once I have the strength, I¡¯ll tear that bastard apart! ¡­ At night, Lin Xny in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, continuing to draw circles on his chest. Sweat covered her fair forehead, and her cheeks were flushed. ¡°Husband, after all the trouble Lin Yan has caused, you¡¯re only confining him for a year. Do the elders agree?¡± Lin Xn asked. ¡°They will agree even if they don¡¯t!¡± Yang Chen said domineeringly. ¡°After all, Yan¡¯er is our son!¡± ¡°Annoying!¡± Lin Xn pouted. ¡°I want to go see him in a while and advise him to mend his ways!¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Yang Chen agreed naturally. ¡°Husband, why do you feel so hot?¡± Lin Xn felt that Yang Chen¡¯s body temperature was higher than before and asked in confusion. ¡°Because I¡¯ve been really angry during this time!¡± Yang Chen said yfully, reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear. Then, he patted her head, where her hair was tied up. ¡°Annoying!¡± Lin Xn¡¯s voice was soft and coquettish. Then, Yang Chen took a deep breath. Chapter 39 - Pregnant Again! Caught in the Act! Chapter 39 - Pregnant Again! Caught in the Act! Chapter 39 ¡ª Pregnant Again! Caught in the Act! At the Yuhan Cliff. It was an extremely peculiar ce in the Xuantian Sect. It was extremely cold and freezing. Spiritual energy was very scarce here. Inner sect disciples who vited sect rules would be sent to the Yuhan Cliff for secluded reflection. An inner sect enforcer and a few Golden Core cultivators were in charge of affairs at the Yuhan Cliff. At this moment. ¡°Young Master Yan, how is this ce? This is the most spiritually enriched area of the Yuhan Cliff! We have also set up a Spirit Gathering Array to facilitate your cultivation, Young Master Yan!¡± The Golden Core cultivator named Wang Yong said ingratiatingly. Lin Yan looked around and nodded: ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°As long as Young Master is satisfied!¡± Wang Yong hurriedly said: ¡°I just hope Young Master can put in a good word for us brothers in front of the Holy Son!¡± ¡°Rest assured!¡± Lin Yan patted his shoulder, then said: ¡°But don¡¯t disturb me unnecessarily in the future, I like a quiet environment!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Wang Yong nodded quickly. Lin Yan walked further into the Yuhan Cliff. Although called a cliff, the Yuhan Cliff was actually a huge cave located at the edge of a cliff. Ordinary disciples would only stay in the outermost area, never venturing too deep inside. Because it was too cold within. But Lin Yan always felt as if something was calling out to him. Making him unconsciously walk inwards. ¡°Strange, why do I keep having this feeling? Could there be some opportunity inside this Yuhan Cliff?¡± Lin Yan immediately became spirited. Because he had this feeling before. And it always led to decent gains. After walking roughly four to five hundred meters inwards, winding through several curving stone corridors, Lin Yan stopped in his tracks. Because he saw a pitch-ck stone wall. On it were engraved words. Lin Yan manifested a me in his palm and began carefully deciphering them. ¡°I am the Daoist Wu Yun of the Xuantian Sect. At 860 years old, I reached the Void Refinement Realm, but was envied by the then Sect Master, who colluded with his sect cultivators to trap and kill me here! The cultivation method I practiced is hidden on this stone wall. Those who have fate may take it ¨C simply smear fresh blood on the wall!¡± Seeing the few lines on the stone wall, Lin Yan was dazed. Reaching the Void Refinement realm at 860 years old? This Daoist Wu Yun was a heaven-blessed genius! One must know, Soul Transformation realm cultivators have a lifespan of 3000 years. Most Soul Transformation cultivators take over two thousand years to reach the Void Refinement realm. Even his master, the me Empress took one thousand five hundred years to cultivate to Void Refinement realm. But this Daoist Wu Yun only took eight hundred and sixty years. He was absolutely a heaven-blessed genius! The cultivation method he practiced must be an earth-shattering secret manual! Lin Yan¡¯s heart raced with excitement. ¡°The heavens have not abandoned me! Hmph, so what if I didn¡¯t get the Green Lotus Heavenly me? I am favored by the heavens, having obtained this heaven-defying method!¡± Lin Yan directly sliced open his palm and pressed it against the stone wall. Row after row of ck light flew out from the wall, entering Lin Yan¡¯s mind. Half an hourter, Lin Yan¡¯s tightly closed eyes opened. His eyes flickered with a ck light. ¡°The Spirit Devouring Scripture! Directly absorb others¡¯ cultivation to enhance one¡¯s own strength! Although vicious, as long as it makes me stronger, it¡¯s a good method! Moreover, as long as I kill every cultivator I absorb, who can know I practice such a method! Hee hee!¡± A crazed and cruel smile appeared on Lin Yan¡¯s face. Then, his gaze turned towards the outside of the Yuhan Cliff. There were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators imprisoned there. ¡­ One monthter, at the Holy Son Peak. Lin Xn snuggled in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. ¡°Husband, what do we do if I¡¯m pregnant again?¡± Yang Chen stroked her belly andughed: ¡°What can we do? Let¡¯s have another child! What, you don¡¯t want to have my children?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Lin Xn pouted cutely. Then she buried her head in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. ¡°You scoundrel, you¡¯ve been tormenting me every day this month! Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be expecting this quickly!¡± The corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved up. ¡°Is it my fault? I just integrated the Primordial Fire, so the inner Yang qi in my body is quite vigorous. I can¡¯t help it!¡± At this point, Lin Xn suddenly looked towards Qing¡¯er, who was ying with Yang Chi in the distance. ¡°That little girl needs to grow up quickly!¡± Yang Chen knew what Lin Xn meant. He extended his hand and pped her perky area forcefully. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! Qing¡¯er is my sister!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Xn rolled her eyes. Her husband was good in every way. Except for one point ¨C he was a hypocrite. A modest gentleman during the day, but transforming into a big bad wolf at night. Yang Chen looked towards Qing¡¯er, who was frolicking with Yang Chi. This little girl benefited froming to the Holy Son Peak too. She could help them take care of the children. Giving him more time to chat about life with his wife. Which also resulted in their current predicament ¡­ s. Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan, you¡¯ll have another brother or sister now. ¡°Husband, thest time we went to the Yuhan Cliff to see Yan¡¯er, I always felt he was acting strange, his eyes had an ominous aura!¡± Lin Xn suddenly said. The corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved upwards slightly. Of course Lin Yan seemed strange. This was his masterpiece. Previously, the reason Yang Chen decided to imprison Lin Yan in the Yuhan Cliff was because the Yuhan Cliff was described in detail in the original work. In the original, Lin Yan was also imprisoned in the Yuhan Cliff. However, when he saw the Spirit Devouring Scripture back then, he did not cultivate it. Because at that time, Lin Yan had obtained the Green Lotus Heavenly me. The rank of his Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art had greatly improved. Moreover, he was not as eager for revenge as he was now. Naturally, he would not cultivate the Spirit Devouring Scripture ¨C an evil technique that harmed others for personal gain. But now ¡­ Heh heh. A method that could rapidly increase his strength, how could he refuse? That night, Yang Chi insisted on sleeping with his Aunt Qing¡¯er. Yang Chen was happy to oblige. Without this little disturbance, he and his wife couldmunicate better. ¡°Husband, why don¡¯t you take another wife!¡± After some time, Lin Xn said weakly. Yang Chen caressed her fair face. ¡°Take another wife?¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you be jealous?¡± ¡°Why would I be jealous? I¡¯d be thankful to her for sharing the burden!¡± Lin Xn rolled her eyes. Yang Chen smiled meaningfully and patted her head. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Come, you¡¯ve rested enough!¡± ¡­ At this moment, in the Yuhan Cliff, Lin Yan¡¯s eyes flickered with an eerie light as he appeared before the Golden Core cultivator Wang Yong. ¡°Young Master Yan!¡± Seeing Lin Yan, Wang Yong said hurriedly. ¡°Wang Yong, I discovered a stone cave left by an ancient cultivator inside the Yuhan Cliff! My cultivation is insufficient to see through it, help me break the seal!¡± Lin Yan¡¯s voice carried a raspy tone. Wang Yong quickly nodded: ¡°No problem, Young Master Yan!¡± Wang Yong said in a very ttering way: ¡°It¡¯s no wonder Young Master is the Holy Son¡¯s adopted son. To discover an ancient cultivator¡¯s inheritance even in the Yuhan Cliff, this subordinate is full of admiration!¡± Wang Yong obsequiously followed Lin Yan into the Yuhan Cliff. However, after entering around four to five hundred meters, Wang Yong stopped in his tracks. Because he saw a few shrivelled corpses lying on the ground. ¡°This?¡± Wang Yong was stunned. ¡°These are the disciples imprisoned in the Yuhan Cliff for punishment? How did they end up like this? No good, I must quickly report to Enforcer Li!¡± Wang Yong was frightened. Although they were just Foundation Establishment disciples, dying in the Yuhan Cliff meant it was his responsibility. This was a huge trouble. But as he turned around, his expression suddenly froze. Looking down, a pitch-ck greatsword had pierced through his chest. ¡°Lin Yan, you ¡­¡± Wang Yong instantly realized. These Foundation Establishment disciples had all been killed by Lin Yan! Wang Yong was at the First stage of the Golden Core realm. Even though ambushed by Lin Yan with the greatsword piercing his body, his golden radiance exploded, sting Lin Yan away. ¡°Golden Core, heh heh, indeed not so easy to deal with! But, hee hee, you will definitely die today!¡± Lin Yan attacked directly, ck radiance surging from his body. His aura had actually reached the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. ¡°Lin Yan, you have cultivated a demonic art!¡± Wang Yong was horrified. Because his true qi was rapidly draining out through the wound. Moreover, it was draining towards Lin Yan¡¯s body. Lin Yan simply took a deep breath, and his aura strengthened significantly. What kind of demonic art was this? So terrifying! Wang Yong became afraid, wanting to flee. But how could he escape? Shortly after, no sound came from the cave. Lin Yan walked out of the Yuhan Cliff. The moonlight shone on him. At this moment, Lin Yan¡¯s cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones jutting out prominently, his whole being exuding a gloomy aura. Having absorbed a Golden Core cultivator, he had directly reached the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and was not far from the Golden Core realm itself. ¡°This matter cannot be kept secret for long! My current strength is still too weak. If a mid-Golden Core cultivator takes action, I only have a path to death! No, I must leave the Xuantian Sect! I absolutely cannot repeat the Daoist Wu Yun senior¡¯s tragedy!¡± Lin Yan turned into an ominous ray of light, disappearing into the Yuhan Cliff. However, he did not directly leave the Xuantian Sect. Instead, he came to the Holy Son Peak. On the Holy Son Peak, Lin Yan used the secret arts of the Spirit Devouring Scripture to stealthily advance. But he did not know that the two Soul Transformation cultivators, Elder ck and Ye Yuxiao, had already discovered him at the Holy Son Peak. It was just that, since he was Yang Chen¡¯s adopted son, as long as he did not do anything outrageous, no one would bother him. And Yang Chen, though in a critical situation at the moment, had also sensed Lin Yan. Tsk. Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan. You really came at the right time. Lin Yan stealthily made his way to a pce. Following the illuminated path, he suddenly heard a strange sound. Like jade beads falling on a te, crying and pleading. Lin Yan¡¯s face instantly turned green. His fists clenched tightly. His expression became ferocious. Bastard! Yang Chen, dammit! I will definitely kill you! I¡¯ll slice you into a thousand pieces! I¡¯ll give you a brutal death! Chapter 41 - This Junior Hopes He Can Get a Kiss! Chapter 41 - This Junior Hopes He Can Get a Kiss! Chapter 41 ¡ª This Junior Hopes He Can Get a Kiss! At this moment, Yang Chen led a group from the Xuantian Sect and arrived within the borders of the Liang Kingdom. The Liang Kingdom was an ancient nation with over ten thousand years of legacy. Every national teacher in the kingdom was from the Xuantian Sect, an affiliated force. Therefore, although Lin Yan had been running rampant within the Liang Kingdom borders, he was never hunted down by the kingdom¡¯s higher-ups. This was because they still did not know the stance of Yang Chen, the Xuantian Holy Son. At a small city on the Liang Kingdom border, originally popted by tens of thousands, it was now filled with an air of death. ¡°Damn it! Lin Yan really is a beast, actually refining and killing all the mortals of an entire city! If I encounter him, I will behead him for sure!¡± By Yang Chen¡¯s side, Xueyan angrily dered with an incensed beautiful face. This time, Yang Chen had brought her along. As for why, naturally it was because in Lin Yan¡¯s heart, she was his goddess. The first female lead in the original work had special meaning to Lin Yan. To properly plunder Lin Yan¡¯s Providence Luck again, her presence was indispensable. ¡°Junior Martial Sister Xueyan, you had a good rtionship with Yan¡¯er, can you really take action against him?¡± Yang Chen looked at her and asked. Xueyan was immediately stunned. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Chen, revealing a hint of panic and barely concealed delight. Because this was the first time Yang Chen had spoken to her directly since annulling their engagement. The Holy Son is finally willing to speak to me. Is he prepared to forgive me? Xueyan¡¯s heart raced with excitement as she hurriedly exined: ¡°Holy Son, actually my rtionship with Lin Yan was not that good. We were just ordinary, somewhat close friends before. Later, as his actions became more extreme, we gradually grew distant!¡± Xueyan¡¯s flustered exnation made the corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curl slightly. So this was the goddess his previous self-had desperately pursued. Now, just a few words from him could make her inexplicably excited and fearful. s. At this moment, a red light swiftly approached from afar. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze froze as he nced at Yan Jiu beside him. Yan Jiu understood and immediately took flight, intercepting that red light. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± As the red light dispersed, me Empress¡¯s bewitching figure was revealed. However, me Empress¡¯s wasn¡¯t in a very good state. Her form was extremely faint, as if about to vanish from the world. A hint of greed shed across Yan Jiu¡¯s face. To him, a Soul Cult cultivator, me Empress¡¯s powerful soul body was an irresistible delicacy. But, he also knew clearly in his heart, that his master had taken an interest in this me Empress. She was not something he could defile. Seeing that he did not attack, me Empress coldly snorted and looked down to see Yang Chen below in the deserted city. Her charming eyes flickered, and she flew straight towards Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, might you help this seat?¡± me Empressnded before Yang Chen and questioned deeply. Earlier, she had used a secret technique to burn her soul essence, only then could she escape from the Soul Devouring Powder. But burning her soul essence meant her soul was headed towards oblivion. With her great vengeance yet unfulfilled, she did not wish to die now. Yang Chen signalled the surrounding Xuantian cultivators to withdraw, then looked at me Empress¡¯s faint form, puzzled: ¡°Senior me Empress, after taking the Soul Stabilizing Pill, your soul should be stable. Why have you be like this?¡± A hint of helplessness and anger shed across me Empress¡¯s charming face. ¡°Lin Yan has already bepletely incorrigible! He refined the resentful auras of tens of thousands of cultivators and mortals into Soul Devouring Powder, intending to refine this seat! This seat had to burn her soul to escape!¡± ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen raised his brows slightly. This aspect had exceeded his expectations. Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan, to be so vicious as to even refine your own master! You are quite the character! Not unworthy of being Yang Chen¡¯s adopted son! ¡°Yang Chen, do you happen to have a Body Forming Pill?¡± me Empress suddenly asked, her beautiful eyes full of hope. Currently, only the Body Forming Pill could save her. As long as she could re-form a physical body, the burning soul essence could be halted. Otherwise, she could only watch helplessly as her soul dissipated, vanishingpletely from the world. ¡°Body Forming Pill?¡± Yang Chen pondered, then addressed the system inwardly: ¡°System, can I exchange for a Body Forming Pill?¡± [Ding! Host, a Body Forming Pill requires 1500 VPs to exchange. It can allow a soul body to re-coalesce a physical form, but the physical form will be at the initial stage and require cultivation from scratch!] ¡°Not bad!¡± Receiving confirmation from the system, Yang Chen looked back towards me Empress and nodded: ¡°This junior has the Body Forming Pill!¡± ¡°You have it!?¡± Excitement filled me Empress¡¯s beautiful eyes. This brat was truly unfathomable. Having the Soul Stabilizing Pill, And even able to produce the Body Forming Pill. One must know that only pill refiners above the Nascent Soul realm could refine these two pills. me Empress did not dwell on these thoughts, and urgently asked: ¡°Yang Chen, can you give this master the Body Forming Pill?¡± Yang Chen gazed at me Empress¡¯s bewitching figure and said meaningfully: ¡°Senior me Empress, I can give you the Body Forming Pill, but it is exceptionally precious. If this junior gives it to you, what will you offer in exchange?¡± ¡°I ¡­¡± me Empress was stunned, her brows furrowing. ¡°This master can impart all of my lifelong knowledge to you! Including countless top-tier techniques and secret arts!¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Senior me Empress, my Xuantian Sect has tens of millions of years of inheritance, weck not a single profound art or scripture!¡± ¡°Then what do you want? This seat has only these to offer at the moment!¡± me Empress grew somewhat anxious. Currently, she was only a soul body. Apart from the knowledge about techniques in her consciousness, she had nothing. This brat Yang Chen really knew how to pick his timing. The corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved upwards as his gaze swept over me Empress¡¯s otherworldly, bewitching figure. ¡°Senior me Empress, I want you!¡± ¡°Want ¡­ me?¡± me Empress froze. Although Yang Chen¡¯s gaze sent chills down her spine, she had no time to quibble over this, and hurriedly nodded: ¡°No problem! This master can remain by your side for a hundred years, guiding your cultivation!¡± ¡°No, no, no!¡± Yang Chen shook his head: ¡°Senior me Empress, you¡¯ve misunderstood this junior¡¯s intentions! This junior does not mean for you to guide my cultivation! Rather, this junior hopes that after Senior me Empress re-forms her physical form, you can let this junior have a kiss!¡± Chapter 41 - This Junior Hopes He Can Get a Kiss!

One must know that only pill refiners above the Nascent Soul realm could refine these two pills. me Empress did not dwell on these thoughts, and urgently asked: ¡°Yang Chen, can you give this master the Body Forming Pill?¡± Yang Chen gazed at me Empress¡¯s bewitching figure and said meaningfully: ¡°Senior me Empress, I can give you the Body Forming Pill, but it is exceptionally precious. If this junior gives it to you, what will you offer in exchange?¡± ¡°I ¡­¡± me Empress was stunned, her brows furrowing. ¡°This master can impart all of my lifelong knowledge to you! Including countless top-tier techniques and secret arts!¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Senior me Empress, my Xuantian Sect has tens of millions of years of inheritance, weck not a single profound art or scripture!¡± ¡°Then what do you want? This seat has only these to offer at the moment!¡± me Empress grew somewhat anxious. Currently, she was only a soul body. Apart from the knowledge about techniques in her consciousness, she had nothing. This brat Yang Chen really knew how to pick his timing. The corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved upwards as his gaze swept over me Empress¡¯s otherworldly, bewitching figure. ¡°Senior me Empress, I want you!¡± ¡°Want ¡­ me?¡± me Empress froze. Although Yang Chen¡¯s gaze sent chills down her spine, she had no time to quibble over this, and hurriedly nodded: ¡°No problem! This master can remain by your side for a hundred years, guiding your cultivation!¡± ¡°No, no, no!¡± Yang Chen shook his head: ¡°Senior me Empress, you¡¯ve misunderstood this junior¡¯s intentions! This junior does not mean for you to guide my cultivation! Rather, this junior hopes that after Senior me Empress re-forms her physical form, you can let this junior have a kiss!¡± Chapter 42 - Flame Empress Compromises! Father, Let You Witness a Good Show! Chapter 42 - me Empress Compromises! Father, Let You Witness a Good Show! Chapter 42 ¡ª me Empress Compromises! Father, Let You Witness a Good Show! ¡°What!?¡± ¡°A kiss?¡± me Empress was instantly enraged. Her phoenix eyes were cold as frost. This bastard, how dare he! She, me Empress, even with only a single soul remaining, still possessed the power of the Soul Transformation realm! This bastard dared to utter such words! The powerful pressure of the Soul Transformation realm surged towards Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, are you courting death? Insulting me time and again, do you really think I wouldn¡¯t dare to kill you?¡± me Empress¡¯s soul was now in a state ofbustion, and her overall strength was actually much stronger than before. But, Yang Chen was not afraid at all. Instead, he had an amused look on his face: ¡°Senior me Empress, you want to kill me, but you should think it through carefully! If I die, you won¡¯t get the Body Forming Pill! Don¡¯t you want to take revenge? The vengeance sought for one¡¯s parents¡¯ death is as deep as the heavens!!¡± ¡°You! How do you know?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s words stunned me Empress. The revenge for her parents was her biggest secret and the driving force that kept her going. She had never mentioned it to anyone. Even Lin Yan didn¡¯t know about it. How did this bastard find out? ¡°Hehe, how I know about it is none of Senior me Empress¡¯s concern! Senior me Empress only needs to weigh the pros and cons, and see if it¡¯s worth it!¡± ¡°You bastard!¡± me Empress¡¯s phoenix eyes were as cold as frost, staring fixedly at Yang Chen. Although she wanted to strike this little bastard with a palm and kill him, she still restrained herself. Reason prevailed over impulse. This guy¡¯s words were vulgar, but they made some sense. She had endured bitterly in the ring space for a thousand years. Was she really going to give up the attainable Body Forming Pill for the sake of face and dignity? After a moment. me Empress closed her beautiful eyes slightly, sighed, and made her decision. ¡°Forget it! I agree to your condition! But, only once!¡± ¡°Senior me Empress, rest assured, I keep my word! However, I¡¯ll be choosing the location!¡± ¡°Lo ¡­ location?¡± me Empress was taken aback. A kiss was a simple matter, what was the need for a location? She didn¡¯t think too much about it. Because her soul state could not be dyed any further. ¡°Fine, I agree to your terms! Hand over the Body Forming Pill!¡± Yang Chenmunicated with the System in his mind. He spent 1,500 VPs to purchase a Body Forming Pill. It was a bit painful. But, considering the n ahead, it would be worth it. He handed the Body Forming Pill to me Empress. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s the Body Forming Pill! What is this bastard¡¯s background?¡± me Empress was astonished in her heart. But she didn¡¯t think too much about it, and quickly consumed it. Soon, blood vessels began to appear on me Empress¡¯s soul body. The burning of her soul essence also stopped. Her faint figure gradually became more substantial. This was her flesh body being reformed. Needless to say, this pill was indeed miraculous. Actually, with me Empress¡¯s Soul Transformation realm strength, she could have previously regained a physical body through body possession. However, if she possessed a body, she would have a hard time surpassing her previous self in this life. Her potential would be limited. Moreover, body possession had high requirements for the physical body, making it difficult to find a suitable one.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om But the Body Forming Pill could form her an original body! Although she would need to cultivate again, it was much better than body possession. me Empress turned into a red light and entered a house in the city to fully form her body with all her strength. ¡°Your Highness! We have found traces of Lin Yan!¡± At this moment, a Golden Core cultivator came to report to Yang Chen. ¡°Oh? You found traces of Yan¡¯er? Hehe, how coincidental! Lead me there!¡± ¡­ In a mountain range of the Liyang Kingdom. Dozens of Golden Core cultivators surrounded a gloomy-looking young man in ck clothes from afar. ¡°Lin Yan, you have ughtered over a thousand cultivators and destroyed numerous cities. Your crimes deserve execution. Surrender now!¡± ¡°Lin Yan, the Holy Son has personally arrived in the Liyang Kingdom. You cannot escape your doom!¡± Lin Yan held a huge sword, with ck light swirling around him. His gaze, however, was fixed on the figure in front of him. Yang Chen walked forward with his hands behind his back, his steps graceful, as if a transcendent had descended to the mortal world. ¡°Yan¡¯er, your father never expected that in just a year, you would have fallen to such depths! s, it¡¯s my fault and your mother¡¯s fault for focusing on taking care of your younger brothers and sisters, and neglecting you! Leading you tomit such grave crimes!¡± Yang Chen looked deeply aggrieved. ¡°Yang Chen! You bastard I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Lin Yan howled like a wild beast. His mind shed back to the scene from that night. This bastard Yang Chen had actually ¡­ to his mother. Ah! Damn it! Lin Yan¡¯s heart was filled with hatred. He swung his huge sword directly at Yang Chen. ¡°Stubborn and unyielding, even daring to attack your own father! It seems you have truly been possessed by the demonic arts!¡± Yang Chen sighed and pped down with his palm. In the sky, a gigantic handprint dozens of feet wide mmed down. It struck Lin Yan directly, mming him into the ground. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. With just one strike from Yang Chen, he was severely injured. ¡°Damn it!¡± Lin Yan struggled to stand up and tried to pick up his huge sword. But a chilling long sword was pressed against his neck. Looking up, he saw that exquisitely beautiful face that, even in his ferocious and bloodthirsty state, would still surface in his mind. ¡°Senior Sister Xueyan, you!¡± ¡°Hmph, Lin Yan, don¡¯t call me Senior Sister Xueyan! You demon! I hate you so much that I want to kill you with a single sword strike!¡± Shen Xueyan¡¯s face was as cold as frost. Her unfamiliar gaze made Lin Yan¡¯s heart ache with madness. Senior Sister Xueyan, how could she be so cold and heartless towards him? As if he were her enemy! His heart ached so much! Ah! [Ding! Lin Yan feels desperate and heartbroken towards his goddess Shen Xueyan, his state of mind has copsed. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, the host has gained 1000 VPs!] [Ding! The female lead Shen Xueyan haspletely broken off from Lin Yan. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Lin Yan, the host has gained 1000 VPs!] Hmm? Not bad, not bad. Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction. Bringing Shen Xueyan along was the right choice. [Ding! The Son of Destiny Lin Yan¡¯s Providence Luck value has dropped to 3000 points, he no longer bears the Fate of Destiny!] Hmm? Yang Chen was stunned. Lin Yan¡¯s luck value dropped to 3000 points, and he no longer bears the fate of Destiny? That was fast. s. It¡¯s my own fault. I plundered Lin Yan¡¯s luck value too quickly. However, this is fine. It¡¯s convenient to send Lin Yan off on his journey. ¡°Yan¡¯er, you have killed over a thousand cultivators and destroyed numerous cities,mitting such heinous crimes that even the heavens cannot tolerate. Even I, your father, cannot protect you!¡± ¡°s!¡± Yang Chen sighed deeply with a sorrowful expression, appearing very reluctant. Then he spoke solemnly to Shen Xueyan and the others: ¡°You all represent me, the Holy Son, to pay a visit to those cultivation forces whose disciples were killed by Lin Yan! Tell them that Lin Yan will be personally executed by me, his stepfather!¡± Everyone could hear the sadness in Yang Chen¡¯s voice. Only Lin Yan red at him ferociously, as if wanting to tear him apart. ¡°Yes, Your Highness!¡± The group of Golden Core cultivators departed. Left in the field were only Yang Chen and Lin Yan. ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard! Even as a ghost, I won¡¯t let you off! You just wait!¡± Lin Yan cursed furiously. Yang Chen turned to look at him. ¡°Yan¡¯er, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even have the chance as a ghost! After all, you¡¯re only at the Golden Core realm, not having reached the Nascent Soul realm yet!¡± ¡°Ah, you bastard!¡± Lin Yan was nearly going mad. Bloody tears flowed from his eyes. At this moment, Yang Chen sensed fluctuations in energy from afar. This aura belonged to me Empress. It seemed she hadpletely reformed her physical body. Yang Chen looked at the sky, then at Lin Yan lying on the ground like a rabid dog. A smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Yan¡¯er, your father will let you see, no, listen to a good show! Consider it a father-son bonding experience!¡± Chapter 43 - Lin Yan鈥檚 Death! The 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique! Chapter 43 - Lin Yan¡¯s Death! The 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique! Chapter 43 ¡ª Lin Yan¡¯s Death! The 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Yang Chen brought Lin Yan into a mountain cave and threw him behind a stone wall. He sealed Lin Yan¡¯s body and mouth, allowing him only to listen but not move or make any sound. A momentter, a red light descended in front of Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, why have youe here?¡± Empress Yan frowned as she sensed Yang Chen¡¯s intentionally released aura. ¡°Where is Lin Yan?¡± Instead of answering her question, Yang Chen stared at her directly. At this moment, Empress Yan had fully resculpted her physical body. Her skin was porcin white with a rosy glow, like translucent jade. Her long, smooth blue-green hair cascaded over her shoulders with a soft luster. Her neck was slender, and her corbones exquisite. A red, long dress hugged her alluring figure, entuating her enticing curves. Below the hem of the dress, a glimpse of her slender, snow-white calves was visible. ¡°Yang Chen, what are you looking at?¡± Empress Yan snapped coldly, sensing Yang Chen¡¯s lecherous gaze. ¡°Mind your eyes!¡± Yang Chen came to his senses and smiled, ¡°Senior Empress Yan, you were able to regain a physical body thanks to me, yet you haven¡¯t even thanked me. Can¡¯t I take a couple of nces? However, Senior Empress Yan, you made the right choice by not just leaving right away!¡± Yang Chen continued. ¡°Or else! Hmph!¡± Empress Yan let out a cold snort. She had considered leaving immediately. However, this little bastard was truly vexing, having that cultivator from the Soul Cult monitor her nearby. Reluctantly, she had toe here. Empress Yan asked again, ¡°Where is Lin Yan?¡± ¡°Lin Yan?¡± Yang Chen nced nonchntly towards the inside of the cave. ¡°He has been taken away by disciples of the Xuantian Sect to be executed!¡± Empress Yan was stunned, her expression unnatural. ¡°Is Senior Empress Yan feeling sad?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°No, not at all!¡± Empress Yan shook her head, but the sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable. After all, she and Lin Yan had a master-disciple rtionship. Empress Yan sighed deeply and said solemnly, ¡°Lin Yan brought this upon himself with his actions! However, all of this is inextricably linked to you!¡± Yang Chen nodded, ¡°Indeed, it is inextricably linked to me. I failed in my responsibility as a father!¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Empress Yan clicked her tongue in disdain. This guy had gone so far, yet he was still taking advantage of Lin Yan. It was because of this bastard¡¯s constant harping about being Lin Yan¡¯s father that drove Lin Yan to madness. Otherwise, if Lin Yan had cultivated properly, how could he have strayed onto the demonic path? At this moment, Empress Yan suddenly felt a thieving hand on her waist. Her brows furrowed, her expression turning icy as she scolded, ¡°Yang Chen, what are you doing? Take your filthy hands off me!¡± ¡°Senior Empress Yan, have you forgotten what you promised me earlier?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice sounded by her ear, carrying a hint of heated breath that made her shudder. ¡°I ¡­¡± Empress Yan was taken aback. ¡°Surely Senior Empress Yan isn¡¯t going back on her word, is she?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice rang in her ear. ¡°You ¡­ stay away from me!¡± Empress Yan said hurriedly. ¡°I will naturally keep my word!¡± ¡°Since Senior Empress Yan will keep her word, why am I being pushed away?¡± Yang Chen not only didn¡¯t move away but instead draped his arms around Empress Yan¡¯s slender waist, feeling its softness and incredible suppleness. ¡°You bastard!¡± Empress Yan cursed under her breath, a flicker of killing intent shing in her beautiful eyes. Yang Chen caught it. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, do you want to kill me? Heheh, if I die, you won¡¯t be able to live either, Senior Empress Yan!¡± Yang Chen mocked. ¡°In your current state, although you¡¯ve resculpted your physical body, you have no cultivation base at all. You only have your soul¡¯s power! Moreover, once in battle, you¡¯ll have to worry about protecting your physical body, so yourbat strength is even weaker than before. Even Yan Jue from the Soul Cult could kill you. Aren¡¯t I right, Senior Empress Yan?¡± ¡°You shameless bastard!¡± Empress Yan cursed, but the killing intent in her eyes receded, for Yang Chen was right. If she killed this bastard now, she would certainly die too. Moreover, she had just resculpted her physical body, so she didn¡¯t want to die even more. But to agree to this bastard¡¯s condition of letting him have a kiss? She was a powerful Fire cultivator who had lived for tens of thousands of years and had her dignity! Her previous agreement was made under duress. But now ¡­ ¡°Yang Chen, can you change the condition?¡± Empress Yan said helplessly. ¡°After all, I am so much older than you!¡± But Yang Chen shook his head firmly, ¡°No! I will keep my word, just like Senior Empress Yan. I said I would kiss you, so I will! Besides, although you are older in age, Senior Empress Yan, you have a unique charm in my eyes!¡± ¡°You ¡­ you deviant!¡± Empress Yan gritted her teeth, but she was helpless. She could only close her beautiful eyes. She would just consider this as being bitten by a dog. ¡°You ¡­ hurry up!¡± Empress Yan relented. ¡°As you wish, Senior!¡± Yang Chen replied. ¡­ Half a quarter of an hour passed. Yang Chen watched Empress Yan straighten her disheveled hair before flying out of the cave, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. [Ding! The host forced Lin Yan to hear the sound he least wanted to hear, causing his state of mind topletely copse. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from Lin Yan, the host has gains 1000 VPs!] [Ding! The host has kissed Empress Yan, allowing the Green Lotus Heavenly me within him and Empress Yan¡¯s Earth Core Red Fire to intertwine in dual cultivation, indirectly severing all ties between Empress Yan and Lin Yan. Plundering 2000 points of Providence Luck from Lin Yan, the host has gained 2000 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice rang out, and Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction. Excellent, excellent. With 3000 luck points, he hadpletely stripped Lin Yan¡¯s junior of all his providence luck. Yang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, green mes zing from his body. However, amidst the green, a faint reddish tint was intermingled ¨C one of Yang Chen¡¯s objectives. The original work had mentioned that the Green Lotus Heavenly me was nurtured from the Earth Core Fire. And the Earth Core Red Fire was the most concentrated form of the Earth Core Fire. So strictly speaking, the Earth Core Red Fire and the Green Lotus Heavenly me shared the same origin. The two types of fire had an inexplicable connection. When intertwined, they could evolve each other. For cultivators possessing them, this was equivalent to dual cultivation. ¡°Tsk tsk! Not bad at all!¡± Yang Chen mused. ¡°With the intertwining of these mes, my strength has also increased! I wonder if Senior Empress Yan felt it too, and if she¡¯lle seeking me again in the future? After all, the olddy has resculpted her physical body but needs to cultivate from scratch. It would take her hundreds of years just to reach the Nascent Soul realm, let alone the Soul Transformation realm! ¡°If Senior Empress Yan loses patience, she might reallye find me. At that time ¡­¡± Yang Chen clicked his tongue. ¡°After all, Senior Empress Yan has a rather extraordinary feeling!¡± Yang Chen stood up and walked behind the stone wall, looking at Lin Yan who had a hideous expression on him. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, did you enjoy the gift your father gave you?¡± Yang Chen released the restraints on Lin Yan. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Yan immediately erupted in curses. ¡°Yang Chen, you mother*****r! I will definitely kill you, slice you into a thousand pieces! I won¡¯t let you die an easy death!¡± ¡°s!¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Junior Brother Lin Yan, it¡¯s not good to curse! Did you see me curse you? You¡¯ve received your gift, so I should send you off properly! Oh yes, let me put your mind at ease ¨C I will take good care of your mother! Oh, and you have a new younger brother named Yang Zhuo. He looks just like you!¡± ¡°You bastard, bastard! I¡¯m going to kill you, kill you!¡± Unable to get up, Lin Yan could only spew profanities. A cold smile appeared on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. With a wave of his hands, Lin Yan¡¯s eyes went wide as he instantly died. The curses fell silent. ¡°s! To personally kill my own stepson, I actually feel a tinge of sadness!¡± Yang Chen sighed and walked out of the cave. [Ding! The host has killed Lin Yan and gained one Viinous Grand Gift Package!] Hmm? A grand gift package? Yang Chen was taken aback but immediately said, ¡°Open it!¡± [Ding! Grand Gift Package has been opened sessfully; the host has obtained the 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique!] ¡°The 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression turned solemn. The name of this cultivation technique sounded rather domineering. Its grade shouldn¡¯t of a low grade. Yang Chen beganprehending it. A few dayster, his eyes suddenly opened, a flicker of ethereal light passing through them. Yang Chen looked extremely excited. The 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique! Each form was a supreme divine ability! The cultivation method he had previously practiced was the Xuantian Sect¡¯s, Xuantian True Technique, rumored to have been created by the founding ancestor of the Xuantian Sect. It was already one of the most supreme techniques in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Butpared to this 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique, it was still inferior. Yang Chen took a deep breath. Although the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique was immensely powerful and abstruse, fortunately he had viinous points to directly exchange for itsprehension. Once he had cultivated it, hisbat prowess would undoubtedly soar. Just as Yang Chen was about to select a few carvings toprehend, his gaze sharpened as he sensed fluctuations of spiritual energy in the distance. Soon after, two figures, one white and one ck,nded in front of him one after the other. As the light dissipated, Yang Chen saw an elegant beauty in a Daoist robe with her hair in a bun, wielding a long sword as she coldly red at the ck figure. ¡°Wei Hu, you have such audacity!¡± The beauty¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Killing fellow disciples is a capital offense!¡± The ck figure held arge de, its aura several grades stronger than the beauty¡¯s. ¡°Leng Yu Yan, I¡¯m giving you two choices now! Either hand over the Tri-Moonlight Flower, or die!¡± Yang Chen watched this scene unfold from within the cave. He originally didn¡¯t want to get involved, as this was simply the way of the cultivation world ¨C priceless treasures inevitably led to bloodshed and plundering. However, the system¡¯s voice left him stunned. [Ding! Detecting Providence blessed female protagonist, Leng Yu Yan!] Hmm? Female protagonist? Is a new Child of Destiny going to appear? Chapter 44 - Fellow Daoist Yang, a Modest Gentleman! Leng Yu Yan鈥檚 Favorable Impression! Chapter 44 - Fellow Daoist Yang, a Modest Gentleman! Leng Yu Yan¡¯s Favorable Impression! Chapter 44 ¡ª Fellow Daoist Yang, a Modest Gentleman! Leng Yu Yan¡¯s Favorable Impression! The beauty in the Daoist robe was named Leng Yu Yan. Gripping her long sword, she said coldly, ¡°Wei Hu, you are delusional! The Tri-Moonlight Flower is something I urgently need. If you leave now, I can pretend this never happened!¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Wei Hu was a burly middle-aged man. Hearing this, his face was full of disdain. ¡°Your nephew is nothing but trash! Using the Tri-Moonlight Flower on him would be a waste, wouldn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Leng Yu Yan¡¯s almond-shaped eyes instantly turned frosty. ¡°It seems you¡¯re not willing to hand it over!¡± Wei Hu held his long de horizontally before him, his domineering aura causing sword qi to surge forth. ¡°It¡¯s just as well, Leng Yu Yan, you are the number one beauty of the Qing Ling Sect. Today, I¡¯ll cripple you, take the Tri-Moonlight Flower, and enjoy the taste of this famed beauty of yours!¡± Wei Hu shed out with his sword, sending a dozens-of-zhang-long sword qi filled with killing intent towards Leng Yu Yan. Leng Yu Yan barely managed to block it but was forced back dozens of zhang, a trickle of fresh blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Just one move and she was injured. ¡°Let¡¯s see how many of my moves you can withstand!¡± Wei Hu¡¯s sword light shed through the air. Leng Yu Yan could only desperately deflect his attacks. After over ten exchanges, Wei Hu¡¯s sword struck Leng Yu Yan. Although she blocked it with her own sword, she was still sent flying away, spitting out a mouthful of blood as her aura instantly weakened. ¡°Haha, the number one beauty is nothing but a fragile vase, unable to withstand a single blow. Let me cripple you first before thoroughly enjoying you!¡± A cruel expression appeared on Wei Hu¡¯s face as his sword qi pierced towards Leng Yu Yan¡¯s abdomen, aiming to shatter the Golden Core in dantian and cripple her cultivation. Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes in despair, having lost the ability to evade. But at that moment, a gigantic handprint descended from the sky, pping directly towards Wei Hu. ¡°Ah, who dares?!¡± Wei Hu roared furiously, raising his sword. However, he was only at the peak of the Golden Core realm, while Yang Chen was at the Nascent Soul realm. BANG! The true qi handprint struck down heavily, forcing Wei Hu to kneel on one knee. ¡°Which bigshot is this? Who dares to meddle in the affairs of my Qing Ling Sect?¡± Wei Hu stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. But he showed no fear, only bellowing as his ferocious gaze swept the area. Yang Chen slowly walked out from the mountain cave. He had heard of the Qing Ling Sect before ¨C a cultivation force near the Lixiang Kingdom. The strongest within the sect were said to be at the early Nascent Soul realm, making it a major cultivation power. Seeing Yang Chen stride forth from the void, Wei Hu¡¯s expression froze. ¡°A Nascent Soul cultivator!¡± ¡°This senior, I am Wei Hu, a Fifth Elder of the Qing Ling Sect, handling an internal sect matter. Please do not interfere!¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Yang Chenughed. ¡°A mere Golden Core dares to address me as ¡®this senior¡¯?¡± He had reached the Nascent Soul realm yet had never referred to himself with such arrogance. For this Golden Core cultivator to address him as ¡®this senior¡¯ with such a haughty tone in his presence was truly courting death. Yang Chen pointed his fingers like a sword, sending out a sword light. SWISH! The incredibly fast sword qi struck Wei Hu¡¯s shoulder before he could defend, severing his arm which flew into the air, spraying blood. ¡°Ah! My arm!¡± Wei Hu cried out in pain. ¡°You ¡­ who are you? Don¡¯t you know? My father is the Paramount Elder of the Qing Ling Sect, a third stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator!¡± Wei Hu tried to invoke backing from higher ups, but it had zero intimidating effect on Yang Chen. A cultivator merely at the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm ¨C Yang Chen not only held the identity of the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son, his current strength alone could defeat such an opponent. Yang Chen didn¡¯t even look at Wei Hu as he walked towards the beauty in the Daoist robe. He had saved her because she was the maindy blessed with providence luck. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you alright?¡± Yang Chen asked gently, utterly different from when he severed Wei Hu¡¯s arm moments ago. ¡°I ¡­ I¡¯m fine!¡± Leng Yu Yan said in a daze. She had just been rescued? The Nascent Soul cultivator before her had acted decisively and ruthlessly in severing Wei Hu¡¯s arm, yet he didn¡¯t seem like a bad person. In fact, he exuded the aura of a modest gentleman. Regaining her senses, Leng Yu Yan hurriedly said, ¡°I am Leng Yu Yan of the Qing Ling Sect. Thank you for your assistance, senior!¡± Although Yang Chen appeared younger than her, Leng Yu Yan still addressed him as senior, following the etiquette of the cultivation world. Among cultivators of the same realm, even a First stage Golden Core realm cultivator could call a Tenth stage Golden Core cultivator as ¡®Fellow Daoist¡¯. However, for different realms, it was best for a Tenth stage Golden Core realm cultivator to address a cultivator at the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm as ¡®senior¡¯. ¡°No need for such courtesy!¡± Yang Chen waved it off. ¡°Pulling out one¡¯s sword to help when facing injustice is simply a cultivator¡¯s duty! By the way, Fellow Daoist Leng need not address me as senior. I am Yang Chen!¡± ¡°So you are Fellow Daoist Yang!¡± Leng Yu Yan cupped her hands in salute. At this moment, having staunched his bleeding, Wei Hu picked up his severed arm and flew up high, grudgingly saying, ¡°You¡¯ll pay for this!¡± Before fleeing by activating a secret technique. Yang Chen made no move to pursue him. Since Leng Yu Yan was the female protagonist and Wei Hu was her enemy, he was likely an antagonist. So despite being able to kill Wei Hu, Yang Chen chose not to, leaving him alive to serve some future purpose as a dog or cannon fodder. ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, that Wei Hu¡¯s father is my sect¡¯s Paramount Elder and strongest cultivator at the Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm! Thank you for your assistance today, but you should leave quickly, Fellow Daoist Yang!¡± Leng Yu Yan advised with concern. Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°No need to worry. I¡¯m also a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if I cannot defeat him, I can still flee, can¡¯t I? Fellow Daoist Leng, I see your injuries are quite serious. Let me treat them first!¡± ¡°This ¡­?¡± Leng Yu Yan hesitated briefly before nodding. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Yang!¡± Leng Yu Yan had sustained a direct blow from Wei Hu¡¯s sword, her abdomen drenched in blood. ¡°Fellow Daoist Leng, I have some premium external injury spirit medicines here. Just apply them to your wound and it will heal rapidly! However, we are of different genders, so it would be inappropriate for me. You should do it yourself.¡± Inside the cave, Yang Chen handed Leng Yu Yan a bottle of medicinal powder, then stepped outside, portraying the image of a gentleman. Seeing Yang Chen¡¯s back as he stood outside the cave entrance, Leng Yu Yan felt a warmth in her heart, but was soon conflicted. She had initially nned to find a secluded spot in the cave to change clothes. But if she did so now, wouldn¡¯t it appear as distrust towards Fellow Daoist Yang? s, never mind. Fellow Daoist Yang was such a modest gentleman, he would never take advantage of the situation. Rather than seek cover, Leng Yu Yan turned her back to him, lifted her Daoist robe, and applied the medicinal powder onto her wound. She then removed her robepletely. Instantly, an endless spring of beauty was revealed within the cave. However, Leng Yu Yan moved extremely quickly, changing into a new Daoist robe in the blink of an eye. Throughout this process, Yang Chen did not turn back to sneak a peek. Only when he heard Leng Yu Yan¡¯s approaching footsteps did he turn around. ¡°Fellow Daoist Leng, have you changed?¡± ¡°Yes. Thank you for the spirit medicine, Fellow Daoist Yang. It is highly effective ¨C I can already feel my sword wound healing rapidly!¡± Leng Yu Yan said in a soft voice. But Yang Chen noticed a hint of a blush on her slender neck.@@novelbin@@ This woman was feeling shy. ¡°Fellow Daoist Leng, I am an old acquaintance of the Sect Master of the Qing Ling Sect and wish to pay a visit. May I trouble you for an introduction?¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°Ah?!¡± Leng Yu Yan was taken aback. After all, Yang Chen had just severed Wei Hu¡¯s arm. Going to the Qing Ling Sect now seemed like walking into a trap. However, he did say he knew the Sect Master. If the Sect Master vouched for him, even the Paramount Elder likely wouldn¡¯t dare make a move against Fellow Daoist Yang, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if the Paramount Elder acted, he alone would find it difficult to detain Fellow Daoist Yang. Moreover, she felt that her encounter with Yang Chen was fateful. It would be a pity for them to part ways so abruptly. Thus, she agreed. ¡°Very well, Fellow Daoist Yang, let us return together! This will also allow me to seek some cultivation advice from you!¡± ¡°Haha, good!¡± Yang Chenughed heartily. Leng Yu Yan stole a nce at him with her beautiful eyes, her fair cheeks reddening slightly. This Fellow Daoist Yang had such a sunny, open demeanor. And he was rather handsome too. [Ding! Through a series of performances, the host has caused Leng Yu Yan to develop a favorable impression, plundering 200 points of Providence Luck from the Child of Destiny Ye Yun. The host gains 200 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was stunned. Leng Yu Yan had developed a favorable impression of him? Plundering 200 points of Providence Luck from the Child of Destiny? Was this the starting again? Kek. Chapter 45 - Protagonist of a "Strongest Reincarnation" genre? My aunt is mine and mine alone! Chapter 45 - Protagonist of a "Strongest Reincarnation" genre? My aunt is mine and mine alone! Chapter 45 ¨C Protagonist of a ¡°Strongest Reincarnation¡± genre? My aunt is mine and mine alone! Although the Qing Ling Sect¡¯s strength was far from that of the Xuantian Sect, it was still a cultivating force with several Nascent Soul realm cultivators. The sect was quite magnificent. From afar, dozens of mountain peaks were dotted with pces and pavilions. Spiritual energy surrounded the mountain like clouds, resembling a celestial paradise. Leng Yu Yan brought Yang Chen to one of the peaks. ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, this is Mingyue Peak where I cultivate. Just now, a disciple reported that the sect master has gone out and won¡¯t return for a few days. If you don¡¯t mind, you can stay here with me for a few days.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Yang Chen readily agreed. ¡°The scenery on your Mingyue Peak is pleasant, Fellow Daoist Leng. I¡¯d love to appreciate it, why would I mind?¡± Yang Chen looked around at the surroundings. Leng Yu Yan began to introduce them to him.@@novelbin@@ The two had chatted a lot on the way and were now conversing merrily. Yang Chen could see that Leng Yu Yan was probably an ice beauty who rarely smiled or spoke casually. But now, when talking to him, she would frequently cover her mouth with a lightugh, exquisitely beautiful. [Ding! The host had a pleasant conversation with the female lead, Leng Yuyan. Leng Yuyan¡¯s affection for the host has deepened. Plundering 200 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist Ye Yun. The host has been awarded 200 VPs!¡± Hmm? Another 200 points. These viin points really doe easily. But why can I only see the plundered Providence Luck, and not the appearance of the protagonist? Yang Chen was wondering when a young man in a grey robe, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs, slowly walked up from the mountain trail. ¡°Yun¡¯er!¡± Seeing the young man, Leng Yu Yan called out to him and waved. Yang Chen also looked over. This should be the protagonist, Ye Yun. Only at the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm though. Yet, his bearing was extraordinary. Even when meeting Yang Chen¡¯s gaze as a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, he didn¡¯t seem to falter at all. Good fellow, worthy of being the Son of Destiny. Yang Chen could tell that Ye Yun was also staring at him intently, with a hint of hostility in his eyes. Well, that¡¯s understandable. After all, the beautiful Leng Yu Yan beside him was the destined female lead. While Ye Yun was the destined male lead. He must see Leng Yu Yan as his exclusive love interest, not allowing any other man to approach her! Ye Yun approached, and Leng Yu Yan introduced him: ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, this is Ye Yun, my nephew.¡± ¡°Your nephew?¡± Yang Chen was surprised. Leng Yu Yan then exined, ¡°Yun¡¯er¡¯s mother was my older sister who passed away when he was young. He has been by my side, his little aunt, growing up since then. I went to pick the Tri-Moonlight Flower this time to improve his physical constitution.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen nodded and looked at Ye Yun with a smile. ¡°Hello Yun¡¯er, I¡¯m Yang Chen, your little aunt¡¯s friend. You can call me Uncle Yang!¡± Ye Yun frowned slightly but didn¡¯t speak. He nced at Yang Chen a few times before shifting his gaze to Leng Yu Yan. ¡°Little Aunt, I went to the back mountain today to gather some medicinal ingredients. I n to refine some pills, so I¡¯ll head back first.¡± ¡°Okay, you go ahead.¡± After Ye Yun left, Leng Yu Yan apologized to Yang Chen, ¡°Please don¡¯t mind Fellow Daoist Yang, Yun¡¯er doesn¡¯t talk much and can be quite stubborn in personality.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Yang Chen waved his hand, appearing unconcerned. He continued chatting with Leng Yu Yan and even told a few jokes. The usually reserved ice beautyughed unrestrainedly, her ample figure swaying under the loose robe in delightful undtions. Yang Chen stole a few nces, inwardly sighing at her exquisite curves, but maintained a gentlemanly demeanor by not staring. Instead, he turned his head towards the room Ye Yun had entered, meeting his gaze. Yang Chen was taken aback, sensing at least three things in Ye Yun¡¯s eyes: hostility, warning, and disdain. A wry smile crept across Yang Chen¡¯s face. Although only at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm, Ye Yun¡¯s soul strength was remarkably potent. During this time, Yang Chen had learned many soul cultivation arts from Yan Jiu. These arts mainly focused on the soul body, allowing him to keenly sense the strength of a soul. With just one look, Yang Chen detected a hint of Ye Yun¡¯s formidable soul power. [Ding, detected a new Son of Destiny, Ye Yun!] [Trait: A failed Void Refinement realm cultivator, his primordial spirit was reborn and fused with his predecessor¡¯s soul, retaining the original memories and emotions!] [Current Providence: 12,600 points!] The system sounded, and Yang Chen raised his brows. It seemed this Ye Yun was the protagonist of a ¡°Strongest Reincarnation¡± story! He had read many such novels before, where a powerful cultivator¡¯s soul is reborn into a trash¡¯s body, fusing with the original soul and retaining the trash¡¯s emotions. This often lead to an obsessive possessiveness towards the person the trash had affections for. Heh heh. A nephew falling for his little aunt. Interesting, interesting. Well, to prevent this uneptable rtionship, I¡¯ll have to be your uncle instead. ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, you must also be a cultivator from the Northern Spiritual Realm, right?¡± Leng Yu Yan asked. Yang Chen understood she was inquiring about which sect he was from. However, he didn¡¯t want to reveal his status as a Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son yet, as it would inevitably change the nature of their rtionship. ¡°Indeed, I¡¯m a cultivator from the Northern Spiritual Realm. But I¡¯m just an ordinary itinerant cultivator.¡± ¡°An itinerant cultivator?¡± Leng Yu Yan was surprised. She had thought Yang Chen was from a prestigious sect, as Nascent Soul realm cultivators at such a young age were usually nurtured by top-tier sects with Soul Transformation cultivators. However, if he was an unconstrained itinerant cultivator, that was even better. Leng Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Chen was from a prestigious sect as a Nascent Soul realm elder, referring to each other as ¡°Fellow Daoists¡± and conversing so intimately would be somewhat inappropriate due to the status disparity. But as itinerant cultivators, they could interact freely without any reservations. This fortuitous connection could then be maintained. A few more smiles graced Leng Yu Yan¡¯s exquisite face, leaving one entranced. Meanwhile, in the room, Ye Yun stood by the window, his gaze heavy as he looked at them. ¡°Damn it! Where did this Nascent Soul realm cultivator crawl out from? Little Aunt rarely smiles, even when showing me care. But why is she all smitten when facing him?¡± Ye Yun¡¯s face was filled with rage and jealousy. His current soul was a fusion of his previous self¡¯s soul, emotions, and memories, more like an amalgamation of two souls. Towards his little aunt, he harbored an almost obsessive sense of possession stemming from the depths of his soul. Moreover, in his previous life as a Void Refinement realm cultivator, he was always alone, and had never experienced such care amidst the constant treachery and betrayals. Reborn in this life, though only two months had passed, he had felt the heartfelt concern and love from his beautiful little aunt. So his little aunt could only belong to him! He would never allow his little aunt to interact with another man like this! In the Qing Ling Sect, any man who dared to have designs on his little aunt would be his future target for ughter! Ye Yun clenched his fists tightly. ¡°If only my cultivation base hadn¡¯t yet recovered, I would y you right now! Hmph, a mere Nascent Soul realm cultivator, yet you dare to covet what is mine! No, I must restore my cultivation as soon as possible! Little Aunt¡¯s behavior clearly shows she has developed feelings for that man. I absolutely cannot lose Little Aunt!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s eyes now held a deep, chilling look, vastly different from before. He took out all the medicinal ingredients and began refining pills. This body¡¯s aptitude was too poor. After over a decade of cultivation, he had only reached the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm. No wonder others called him a trash. But just wait. Nothing can obstruct me. With these ingredients and my pill refinement skills, I can reach the Foundation Establishment realm. Once I establish my foundation, I can start utilizing a portion of my soul power. At that time, this Yang Chen ¡­ Dammit, I will refine him into a human pill to vent my resentment! Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the rage in my heart! Chapter 46 - One Step Closer to Becoming Your Uncle! Heart Racing! Chapter 46 - One Step Closer to Bing Your Uncle! Heart Racing! Chapter 46 ¡ª One Step Closer to Bing Your Uncle! Heart Racing! In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen had already been living on Mingyue Peak for three days. During these three days, his rtionship with Leng Yu Yan had grown even closer. At night, on the summit of Mingyue Peak, a bright full moon could be seen hanging in the sky like a golden disc. The descending golden rays poured down, covering the top of the peak with a golden hue. Under this moonlight, Leng Yu Yan¡¯s beautiful face appeared even more dazzling. Standing at the summit, her Daoist robe fluttering in the breeze. The loose robe clung to her delicate body. Her graceful curves were fully revealed. Combined with her flowing ck hair and peerless beauty. At this moment, Leng Yu Yan looked like an immortal goddess. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but stare in a daze. ¡°Yang, fellow Daoist Yang!¡± Leng Yu Yan noticed Yang Chen¡¯s gaze and softly chided. Yang Chen immediately snapped back to reality, smiling sheepishly: ¡°Sorry, sorry! To be honest, fellow Daoist Leng, you are the most stunning woman I¡¯ve ever seen, so I lost myposure for a moment. Please forgive me!¡± Leng Yu Yan was startled by his words, her cheeks flushing slightly. Fellow Daoist Yang actually praised my beauty. The most stunning woman he has ever seen. This? Leng Yu Yan felt her heart racing inexplicably. If it were someone else praising her beauty. She would certainly greet them with her sword. Because she saw it as a form of harassment. But hearing it from Yang Chen made her feel a bit embarrassed. Her heart, which had been sealed for over a hundred years, began to stir violently. Does fellow Daoist Yang really think I am that beautiful? [Ding, the host praised Leng Yu Yan¡¯s beauty, Leng Yu Yan¡¯s favorability towards the host increased, plundering the protagonist, Ye Yun¡¯s Providence Luck by 200 points. The host has gained 200 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice rang out. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile. It seemed his earlier impulsive act not only didn¡¯t anger Leng Yu Yan but also increased her favourability towards him. Heh heh. This woman seems to have truly fallen for me. Ye Yun, oh Ye Yun.I¡¯ve gotten one step closer to bing your uncle! Yang Chen looked at the full moon in the sky and softly said: ¡°Fellow Daoist Leng, the moon so full tonight, it must be the Mid-Autumn Festival today!¡± ¡°Mid-Autumn?¡± Leng Yu Yan was taken aback and snapped back to reality. She extended her jade-like fingers to calcte and then said: ¡°It indeed is the Mid-Autumn Festival, 15thof August!¡± In the cultivation world, the Mid-Autumn Festival was mainly significant to mortals and some Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators. For Golden Core cultivators, whose lifespans greatly extended to over five hundred years. They had long be indifferent to festivals. Their only concern was cultivating to reach the Nascent Soul realm. Leng Yu Yan had not celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival for decades since entering the Golden Core realm. However, the sect did distribute some mooncakes each year. These mooncakes were made from spiritual herbs. They were tributes from weaker cultivation sects and families nearby to the Qingling Sect. Thinking of this, Leng Yu Yan said: ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, I happen to have some mooncakes here. Why don¡¯t we eat them while enjoying the moon?¡± ¡°Sure! That¡¯s exactly what I was thinking!¡± Yang Chen readily agreed. At this moment. Inside a room, Ye Yun had just finished cultivating. ¡°Huff! The Seventh stage of Qi Refinement realm! ¡°In three days, I have advanced four stages. Today, I should stop here, or else advancing too fast will arouse suspicion! Let me check if my aunt has gone to sleep? And that annoying Yang Chen, I wonder if he has left!¡± Ye Yun stepped out of his room. He headed towards the summit. But then, his eyes froze. Seeing the scene on the summit, Ye Yun¡¯s face turned green. Damn it. How infuriating. Auntie is actually eating mooncakes and enjoying the moon with that Yang Chen! And she looks so happy! I¡¯ve never seen her smile like that! Ye Yun clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to rush up and kill Yang Chen. But, although he was a reincarnated Void Refinement realm cultivator, he only had the strength of a Qi Refinement cultivator now. He couldn¡¯t kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator yet. You¡¯ve only known each other for a few days, auntie, why are you showing him that kind of smile!? How can you be so frivolous!? You are the aunt I love and admire the most! Ye Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with jealousy and killing intent. ¡°No, I must quickly strengthen myself and advance my cultivation! I must reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, so I can use special methods to kill Yang Chen! Damn it, just wait, you dare target the woman of this exalted one!¡± Ye Yun returned to his room and began using the refined spiritual herbs to boost his strength again. He couldn¡¯t care less about raising his arousing suspicion with his cultivation speed. Now he had to quickly be stronger to kill that guy. Otherwise, his aunt would be his. Damn it! [Ding, the host is enjoying the moon with the female lead Leng Yu Yan, Ye Yun is filled with jealousy, deteriorating his mental state, plundering the protagonist, Ye Yun of Providence Luck by 500 points. The host gained 500 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was taken aback. He looked down the mountain. He happened to see Ye Yun¡¯s departing figure. He couldn¡¯t help but reveal a yful smile. To conquer a woman who originally belonged to the protagonist, especially when she¡¯s his aunt, right in front of him. This truly gave him a strange sense of pleasure. ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, why are you smiling? Is it because the mooncake is not to your taste?¡± Beside him, noticing Yang Chen¡¯s strange smile, Leng Yu Yan asked. Yang Chen immediately snapped back to reality and exined: ¡°No! I suddenly thought that being able to enjoy the moon with a beauty like fellow Daoist Leng in such a setting, will be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Leng Yu Yan eximed softly. Her beautiful cheeks instantly turned red. She lowered her head and shyly said: ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, don¡¯t say such things! How can I be considered a beauty!¡± ¡­ The next day. Leng Yu Yan woke up gently. Her eyes showed a hint of shyness and panic. Last night, they were simply eating mooncakes and enjoying the moon, but somehow, they ended up drinking wine and she shared many personal things with fellow Daoist Yang. Moreover, she dreamt about fellow Daoist Yangst night. ¡°What¡¯s happening to me? I actually dreamed about Daoist Yang, even though I¡¯ve only known him for three days. Leng Yuyan, you¡¯re supposed to be an ice-cold beauty, and yet you dreamed about him like that!¡± Leng Yu Yan blushed when she thought of the scenes in her dream. ¡°Could it be ¡­ is my heart racing ¡­ is that what I¡¯m feeling? Before, my sister went to great lengths to marry my brother-inw, andter even died with him without hesitation! All these years, I have always regarded love between men and women as poison, and didn¡¯t allow my disciples to fall in love! Thinking about it now, it seems I was wrong! This feeling ¡­. is so wonderful!¡± Leng Yu Yan¡¯s cheeks were flushed with a trace of intoxication and shyness. ¡°Last night we had a great conversation, I wonder if fellow Daoist Yang is up yet! We¡¯ve only known each other for a few days, would fellow Daoist Yang think I am too frivolous?¡± After being excited, Leng Yu Yan began to feel anxious. After a while, she got up and put on a loose Daoist robe. Usually, she would go out directly in her after dressing. But now, she couldn¡¯t help but check herself in the mirror. Then she frowned. This outfit is too loose. In this loose robe, I¡¯m no different from male cultivators. Yesterday, fellow Daoist Yang praised me, saying I was the most stunning person he had seen. Then, why don¡¯t I ¡­? Leng Yu Yan had a bold idea. Then, she took out a long dress. Outside. Yang Chen had gotten up early. He happened to run into Ye Yun returning with a basket of herbs. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you¡¯re back!¡± Yang Chen approached with a smile. A sh of killing intent appeared in Ye Yun¡¯s eyes. Damn it, ¡°Yun¡¯er¡±, ¡°Yun¡¯er¡±, you dare call me that!? You¡¯re courting death! Hmph! Ye Yun just snorted coldly, not intending to talk to him. He had now reached the Seventh stage of the Qi Refinement realm. It wouldn¡¯t be long before he reached Foundation Establishment realm. By then, it would be this bastard¡¯s end. Now he felt he couldn¡¯t leave. If he left, where would he find a Nascent Soul Human Pill! Ye Yun was about to walk away, but at that moment Leng Yu Yan stepped out of her room. Dressed in a long gown, her graceful figure was on full disy. The gown entuated her slender waist and long legs. Her usually in face was now adorned with delicate makeup. Her long ck hair was styled into a bun, revealing her slender, fair neck. Leng Yu Yan, at this moment, looked even more stunning and exuded a mature charm. ¡°Auntie, you!¡± Ye Yun was stunned. He stared straight at his aunt. Though he had seen many beauties in his past life as a Void Refinement realm cultivator. His aunt¡¯s beauty far surpassed them.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Moreover, this was the first time he had seen her dressed like this. She looked so ethereal, not like someone from the mortal world. Ye Yun was about to praise his aunt. But Leng Yu Yan walked right past him, seemingly ignoring him. With light steps, she approached Yang Chen and shyly asked: ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang, we¡¯re going to visit the Sect Master together. Do you think this outfit is appropriate?¡± Chapter 47 - Yang Chen is Not a Good Person! A Couple Like Celestial Beings! Chapter 47 ¡ª Yang Chen is Not a Good Person! A Couple Like Celestial Beings! Leng Yu Yan had a shy blush on her fair cheeks, emanating a charming and alluring demeanor. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard. This woman was indeed excessively beautiful. No wonder the protagonist was infatuated with her. ¡°How could it be! Fellow Daoist Leng, your attire suits you perfectly, like a celestial maiden descended to the mortal realm! Standing beside you, I feel unworthy!¡± Yang Chenplimented her. ¡°Ah, Fellow Daoist Yang, you¡¯re teasing me again!¡± Leng Yu Yan replied with feigned reproach, but her eyes revealed undisguised delight, clearly savoring Yang Chen¡¯s praise. ¡®Fellow Daoist Yang finds me very beautiful. It seems I chose the right outfit.¡¯ Watching the flirtatious interactions between the two, Ye Yun on the side was furious, his eyes brimming with killing intent.@@novelbin@@ ¡®Bastard! It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen Little Aunt in a dress, so breathtakingly gorgeous. But she¡¯s not dressed up for me, but for that bastard!¡¯ ¡°Little Aunt!¡± Ye Yun could no longer hold back, letting out a deep bellow. ¡°Hmm? Yun¡¯er? Did you go pick herbs again?¡± Leng Yu Yan turned, as if just noticing him. ¡°I told you not to go herb-picking yourself. Just tell me if you need any ingredients!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s heart burned with more anger. ¡®Little Aunt didn¡¯t even notice me before!¡¯ Damn it! ¡°Little Aunt, I have something to discuss with you!¡± Ye Yun said gravely. ¡°What is it? Go ahead, Yun¡¯er!¡± ¡°Little Aunt, there¡¯s an outsider present, let¡¯s talk in my room!¡± Ye Yun gave Yang Chen an unfriendly look. ¡°Ai, this child!¡± Leng Yu Yan¡¯s brows creased slightly. ¡®He really doesn¡¯t know how to speak properly.¡¯ But she still gave Yang Chen an apologetic nce before following Ye Yun into the room. Inside, Ye Yun said solemnly, ¡°Little Aunt, stay away from that Yang Chen!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Leng Yu Yan frowned. ¡°Yun¡¯er, why do you say that?¡± ¡°That Yang Chen is not a good person!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s voice deepened. ¡°I can tell at a nce that he¡¯s a hypocrite who deceives women, a scumbag! Little Aunt, you may have cultivated for over a century, but you haven¡¯t experienced romantic rtionships. Don¡¯t let him deceive you! Otherwise, you¡¯ll regret it when it¡¯s toote!¡± ¡°Enough, Yun¡¯er!¡± Leng Yu Yan cut him off sternly. ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to speak of Fellow Daoist Yang like that! Fellow Daoist Yang is a modest gentleman who once saved my life. How can you defame him so? Moreover, we¡¯re just good friends right now, not like what you¡¯re implying!¡± ¡°Little Aunt, you ¡­¡± Ye Yun was dumbstruck that his little aunt actually rebuked him coldly for that bastard¡¯s sake. Damn it. What bewitching potion did that bastard Yang Chen feed Little Aunt to make her trust him so much? ¡°Yun¡¯er, focus on your cultivation. Don¡¯t meddle in adult matters! I have something to do, I¡¯ll take my leave!¡± With that, Leng Yu Yan walked out of the room. ¡°Damn it!¡± Seeing his little aunt¡¯s slender, graceful figure in a pce dress leaving, Ye Yun punched the door in rage. ¡®I, the Venerable Cangchen, a mighty Void Refinement cultivator who has roamed the world for thousands of years, yet I¡¯m outdone by a mere Nascent Soul realm cultivator? No, this cannot be. I¡¯ve been too greatly affected by the predecessor¡¯s soul, after the fusion. If I fail to obtain Little Aunt, it will inevitably affect my Dao Heart, even destabilizing my soul and cultivation. Little Aunt must be mine!¡¯ [Ding, Leng Yu Yan rebuked Ye Yun, destabilizing his Dao Heart. Plundering 500 luck points of Providence Luck from the protagonist Ye Yun. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was taken aback. ¡®Leng Yu Yan rebuked Ye Yun? His Dao Heart is unstable? It seems the little brat was badmouthing me earlier. Heh heh. But he probably ended up shooting himself in the foot! At this moment, Leng Yu Yan walked out of Ye Yun¡¯s courtyard and saw Yang Chen¡¯s gentle, smiling face. The gloom on her face instantly dissipated, reced by a shy, blushing smile. ¡°Fellow Daoist Yang! Let¡¯s go to the sect master!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The two left by soaring sword. Apart from Ye Yun, Leng Yu Yan had dozens of other disciples on Mingyue Peak. Watching their master and Senior Yang Chen leaving together like a celestial couple, they all looked envious. ¡°It seems our master has developed romantic feelings!¡± ¡°Senior Yang Chen is a handsome Nascent Soul cultivator who also saved our master¡¯s life. No wonder she¡¯s smitten!¡± ¡°If our master has such feelings, she probably won¡¯t demand as much from us in the future!¡± ¡°Hee hee, that¡¯s right! Senior Disciple Li from Chihuo Peak has confessed to me several times, but I declined out of fear of punishment from our master. Now I can finally ept!¡± ¡°Congrattions, Senior Sister!¡± At this moment, Ye Yun walked over with a gloomy expression. Seeing him, a disciple smiled mischievously, ¡°Junior Brother Ye Yun, if Senior Yang Chen bes our master¡¯s spouse, you¡¯ll have a Nascent Soul cultivator as an uncle! No one will dare mock you then!¡± Although Ye Yun was Leng Yu Yan¡¯s nephew, over the past decade the title ¡°trash¡± had be ingrained due to his poor cultivation. Whenever Leng Yu Yan wasn¡¯t around, these disciples would ridicule him. ¡°What did you say?¡± Ye Yun red angrily. ¡°Courting death?¡± ¡°Heh heh, did we say anything wrong?¡± ¡°Senior Yang Chen is a Nascent Soul cultivator. If he bes our master¡¯s spouse, our Mingyue Peak will also have a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. In the future, who would dare look down on us?¡± ¡°Exactly, Senior Yang Chen and our master are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair!¡± ¡°As your uncle, a mighty Nascent Soul cultivator, you can secretly rejoice, Ye Yun!¡± ¡°Ah! Courting death!¡± Ye Yun could no longer listen and directly threw a punch at the speaker. The other assumed Ye Yun was still at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm and casually waved it off. But Ye Yun had already reached the Eight stage of Qi Refining realm. Moreover, he was a reincarnated Void Refinement realm expert. Though only at the Eight stage of the Qi Refining realm, this strike was unblockable for anyone below the Foundation Establishment realm. Bang! The male disciple at the Ninth stage of Qi Refining realm took a direct punch, sending him flying while coughing up blood. ¡°Ye Yun, you ¡­!¡± Everyone was stunned. Wasn¡¯t Ye Yun a trash who had been stuck at the Third stage of Qi Refining Realm for five or six years? How could he punch a peak Ninth stage cultivator until he coughed up blood and was flung away? There were even Foundation Establishment cultivators present, yet none could discern Ye Yun¡¯s actual cultivation. Hmph! Ye Yun coldly snorted and left directly. ¡®A bunch of insignificant ants, yet they dare nder my Little Aunt! Asking for death! Tonight, I¡¯ll refine all the spirit pills and break through to Foundation Establishment. Then that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s days will be numbered!¡¯ However, Ye Yun failed to notice that at this moment, on a pavilion of Mingyue Peak, an illusory figure had been observing him the entire time. ¡°Eight stage of Qi Refining realm, you¡¯ve improved quite fast! But my master instructed me not to make a move against you for now. Otherwise, you¡¯d make such an exquisite meal! Keke!¡± Chapter 48 - Tracking the Evil Spirit! Kissing Leng Yuyan! Chapter 48 ¡ª Tracking the Evil Spirit! Kissing Leng Yuyan! Yang Chen followed Leng Yuyan to the main peak of Qingling Sect, Qingxuan Peak. As soon as they entered the Qingxuan Hall, Yang Chen felt a surge of killing intenting at him. He looked up to see a white-haired old man ring at him fiercely. ¡°Daoist Yang, this is bad. I didn¡¯t expect the Supreme Elder toe out of seclusion and be here with the Sect Master!¡± Leng Yuyan hurriedly sent a voice transmission to him. ¡°Don¡¯t speak; I¡¯ll handle this!¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°Sect Master, Leng Yuyan colluded with an outsider, intending to kill my son. Fortunately, my son escaped with his life but lost an arm. I request the Sect Master to punish Leng Yuyan severely to set an example!¡± The Supreme Elder spoke harshly upon seeing Leng Yuyan and Yang Chen. The Sect Master of Qingling Sect, aposed middle-aged man with a cultivation of the Second stage of the Nascent Soul realm, asked in a deep voice, ¡°Elder Leng, is this true?¡± Leng Yuyan quickly replied, ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s not like that! That day, after I obtained the Tri-moonlight Flower, Wei Hu tried to snatch it. He even wanted to kill me to steal the treasure! I was no match for Wei Hu and was saved by Daoist Yang at the critical moment! As for Wei Hu losing an arm, it was because he insulted Daoist Yang. Considering his status as an elder of Qingling Sect, Daoist Yang only severed his arm. Sect Master, Wei Hu is arrogant and reckless, even disregarding Nascent Soul cultivators. He will bring disaster upon Qingling Sect sooner orter!¡± ¡°Nonsense! You¡¯re spewing lies!¡± The Supreme Elder roared angrily. ¡°You seduced my son with your beauty to get the Tri-moonlight Flower, promising to marry him. But you, a faithless woman, colluded with this brat to harm my son!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn ¡°You, you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Leng Yuyan trembled with anger. She didn¡¯t expect the Supreme Elder to be so shameless. ¡°Hmph, words are useless!¡± The Supreme Elder stood up, sending a powerful palm strike towards Leng Yuyan. As a Third-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator, his full-force attack was not something a Ninth-stage Golden Core realm cultivator like Leng Yuyan could withstand. The sudden attack left her with no time to fully defend herself. Just as the energy palm was about to hit her, she felt someone embrace her shoulder. A tall figure stood in front of her. Bang!¡ªThe surging energy sted several Nascent Soul elders in the hall backward. ¡°You old bastard, courting death! You dare touch my person!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s cold voice was filled with killing intent, though he was inwardly delighted. What a perfect viin, giving me a chance to show off. Blue mes burst from Yang Chen¡¯s body, filling the entire hall with scorching heat. Boom! The green mes formed a giant demon¡¯s shadow wielding a stone axe, exuding a domineering aura. This was one of the forms of the Demon Stone Carving technique¡ªAxe Splitting Chaos. The giant demon, engulfed in green mes, swung its stone axe. Boom! The Supreme Elder¡¯s body shattered, blood sttering everywhere. The violent killing intent entwined with blood, preventing even his Nascent Soul from escaping. Yang Chen was very satisfied with this one-hit kill of a Third-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Spending 1,000 VPs toprehend the divine ability Axe Splitting Chaos was worth it. And this was just the minor achievement; its power would be unimaginable at full mastery. The Nascent Soul elders were terrified. Their sect¡¯s strongest Supreme Elder couldn¡¯t withstand a single move from Yang Chen. Could this person really be just a First-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? How could a First-stage Nascent Soul cultivator have such power? Leng Yuyan, too, was stunned. Daoist Yang has such strength? He¡¯s usually quite gentle and courteous, yet he¡¯s swift and ruthless in action.And earlier, he said, ¡°You dare touch my person.¡± Her pale cheeks turned slightly red. Did Daoist Yang feel that way about her too? The Sect Master, though shocked by the Supreme Elder¡¯s death, asked sternly, ¡°Who are you? Do you know that Qingling Sect is a subordinate of Xuantian Sect? The Supreme Elder¡¯s sworn brother is an Inner Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect!¡± Upon hearing this, Leng Yuyan¡¯s eyes widened with concern for Yang Chen. Killing the Supreme Elder, even if it was for her sake, would certainly incur Xuantian Sect¡¯s wrath. ¡°Sect Master, Daoist Yang acted to save me. I will bear the consequences alone!¡± Leng Yuyan stepped forward. But Yang Chen stopped her and threw a token to the Sect Master. ¡°You should recognize this.¡± ¡°This, you, you are the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect?¡± The Sect Master, seeing the ancient ¡®Holy¡¯ character on the token, trembled. The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect hade to their Qingling Sect? The others were equally shocked. If he was indeed the Holy Son, the Supreme Elder¡¯s death was justified. Not only was the Supreme Elder¡¯s death justified, but his arrogant son wouldn¡¯t survive either. ¡°Wee, Holy Son. We apologize for our negligence!¡± The Sect Master bowed, and the other elders followed suit. ¡°Greetings, Holy Son!¡± Leng Yuyan, on the other hand, felt a tinge of disappointment. Daoist Yang was the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect? He had said he was a rogue cultivator. Why did he lie to her? Yang Chen noticed Leng Yuyan¡¯s expression but didn¡¯t exin immediately. Let her disappointment ferment; it would make the eventual exnation and emotional bond stronger. This was the way to win her over. Yang Chen addressed the group, ¡°I came to Qingling Sect to track down an evil spirit. It disappeared near Liyang Kingdom. This spirit is powerful and may have possessed someone. Report any unusual activity to me immediately and keep my identity a secret to avoid alerting the spirit.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± They responded eagerly, seeing this as a chance to gain favor with the Holy Son and elevate Qingling Sect¡¯s status. They quickly responded affirmatively, but inwardly, their minds were in turmoil. An evil spirit? It could have already possessed someone? Near Liyang Kingdom? And the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son is personally investigating it? This is an opportunity! If they could help this Holy Son of Xuantian Sect find the evil spirit, it would be a great merit for Qingling Sect. They could then establish a connection with the Holy Son, elevating their status. In the future, no neighboring sect would dare look down on Qingling Sect. Moreover, seeing the rtionship between the Holy Son and Elder Leng, it seemed quite special. If Elder Leng could be the Holy Son¡¯s woman, Qingling Sect would firmly grasp this powerful ally. Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan left the hall and went to a small peak. Leng Yuyan followed quietly, her mind in turmoil. They reached a small peak. Leng Yuyan quietly followed behind, her mind in turmoil. Suddenly, Yang Chen turned around. ¡°Ah!¡± Leng Yuyan was startled and quickly said, ¡°Holy Son!¡± ¡°Daoist Leng, I prefer you to call me Daoist Yang.¡± ¡°Daoist Yang? I dare not!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s expression turned somber. She wanted to continue addressing him as Daoist Yang, but he was a Nascent Soul cultivator and the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. The gap between them was too vast. She was merely a Golden Core Elder of an ordinary sect. How could she address the Holy Son as an equal? Suddenly, Leng Yuyan felt her palm grow warm. Yang Chen had taken her delicate hand. ¡°Daoist Yang, you¡ª¡± ¡°You see, deep down, you still prefer calling me Daoist Yang,¡± Yang Chen said with a yful smile. ¡°That¡¯s not true, I¡ªI ¡­¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s face flushed red, and she wanted to exin but couldn¡¯t find the words. Yang Chen spoke softly, ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you before because I was worried you¡¯d keep a deliberate distance from me. Please don¡¯t do that. It would make me very sad.¡± Leng Yuyan did not pull her hand away. She lowered her head, listening to his words, her face turning even redder. Even her neck was flushed. Yang Chen knew this was the moment. He gently pulled her into his arms. ¡°Daoist Yang, you¡ªmm, mm!¡± After a brief struggle, a pair of delicate arms wrapped around Yang Chen¡¯s neck. [Ding! The host has kissed Leng Yuyan, and she responded passionately. You have plundered 1,000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Ye Yun. The host has gained 1,000 VPs!] Hmm? A thousand viin points? Not bad. This kiss is quite sweet. Chapter 49 - The Panicked Voice of Auntie! Uncle Yang Will Guide You! Chapter 49 ¡ª The Panicked Voice of Auntie! Uncle Yang Will Guide You! For a long while. Leng Yuyan leaned against Yang Chen, her head lowered, her beautiful cheeks flushed with red. She felt a tingling sensation on her lips. Her heart was filled with panic and shyness. Earlier, she had wanted to push Daoist Yang away. But she didn¡¯t know why. She actually, actually took the initiative. And this scene was exactly like the one in her dreamst night. Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed. Would Daoist Yang think she was too frivolous? ¡°Yuyan, it¡¯s getting dark. Do you want to stay in my arms forever?¡± Yang Chen felt the warmth of her body and teased with a smile. Leng Yuyan was startled. The way Daoist Yang addressed her had changed? Yuyan¡­ other than her own sister, no one had called her that in a long time. Leng Yuyan looked up, meeting Yang Chen¡¯s gaze. Her eyes immediately dodged as she said, ¡°Daoist Yang, I¡ª¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me Daoist Yang anymore!¡± ¡°Ah, then what should I call you?¡± Leng Yuyan was puzzled. ¡°From now on, call me Brother Chen! It sounds more intimate that way!¡± ¡°Brother Chen ¡­ Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan whispered softly. But her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of joy. Yuyan, Brother Chen. From now on, their rtionship would change from being fellow cultivators to being a couple. At Mingyue Peak. In the room. Leng Yuyan sat beside Yang Chen, leaning on his shoulder, inhaling the masculine scent from his body. She asked softly, ¡°Brother Chen, you mentioned before that you were chasing an evil spirit?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Chen nodded, his hand caressing her soft shoulder as he spoke slowly, ¡°That evil spirit is very powerful. In life, it was likely stronger than a Soul Transformation cultivator!¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°Stronger than a Soul Transformation realm cultivator?¡± Leng Yuyan was shocked. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be at the Void Refinement realm?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Yang Chen nodded, ¡°But now it¡¯s just a spirit, with limited strength. This spirit has an unknown origin and exudes an evil aura, so I must track it down! Such an evil spirit, to regain its strength, will often possess and reincarnate, then use extreme methods to quickly enhance its power! It¡¯s a significant threat to our Northern Spiritual Realm!¡± ¡°If you have any suspicious individuals, you must tell me immediately!¡± ¡°Yes, don¡¯t worry, Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan nodded lightly. She was thinking if there were any suspicious people in the Qingling Sect recently. Suddenly, she felt a tickle on her waist. Yang Chen¡¯s mischievous hands had wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her into his arms. And those mischievous hands were roaming near her waist. Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks turned red instantly. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± She let out a soft moan. But she didn¡¯t break free from Yang Chen. It was alreadyte at night. Leng Yuyan naturally knew what Yang Chen wanted to do. Although she felt it was a bit too early. But she wouldn¡¯t refuse Brother Chen¡¯s wish. After all, her heart already belonged to Brother Chenpletely. She was Brother Chen¡¯s for this lifetime. But just then. An untimely voice sounded outside: ¡°Auntie, are you asleep?¡± ¡°Ah!?¡± Leng Yuyan let out a startled cry. ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s Yun¡¯er!¡± Leng Yuyan pushed Yang Chen away. She hurriedly tidied her disheveled hair and slightly wrinkled pce dress. ¡°Yun¡¯er, do you need something?¡± Ye Yun, outside the courtyard, frowned upon hearing this. He noticed the odd tone in his aunt¡¯s voice. What was Auntie doing? Why did she sound so panicked? ¡°Auntie, can Ie in?¡± Ye Yun walked to the door and said. ¡°No, don¡¯te in!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s voice was flustered. ¡°Auntie is already asleep, Yun¡¯er. If you need anything, talk to me tomorrow!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s frown deepened. His face was full of confusion. What was Auntie up to? Why was she so panicked? ¡°Auntie, I have some questions about my cultivation. Can you help me?¡± Ye Yun refused to give up, finding an excuse. He had a feeling that if he left today, he would regret it forever. In the room, Leng Yuyan¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed, a hint of anger appearing on her cheeks. This child, Yun¡¯er, was really something. He didn¡¯t ask about his cultivation during the day but had to ask now. Leng Yuyan looked at Yang Chen, worried he might be upset. But Yang Chen patted her waist reassuringly. ¡°Go open the door, Yun¡¯er¡¯s cultivation is important!¡± ¡°We are both Golden Core and Nascent Soul realm cultivators, with lifespans of hundreds or thousands of years. We have plenty of time together in the future, there¡¯s no need to rush.¡± ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re so considerate!¡± Leng Yuyan hugged Yang Chen¡¯s arm. Then she said, ¡°I¡¯ll go help Yun¡¯er with his cultivation problem first! Then, I¡¯lle back to be with you!¡± ¡°Yes, go ahead.¡± Yang Chen nodded. Leng Yuyan opened the door. ¡°Yun¡¯er, what problem do you have with your cultivation?¡± Leng Yuyan frowned and asked. Ye Yun felt the displeasure in his aunt¡¯s voice. He showed a ttering smile on his face: ¡°Auntie, I just missed you since I haven¡¯t seen you all day and wanted to chat! By the way, Auntie, has Yang Chen left?¡± Beforeing here, Ye Yun had specifically checked Yang Chen¡¯s small courtyard. Finding no one there, he felt ted. That bastard had finally left. It was just a pity he couldn¡¯t turn him into a human pill. But it didn¡¯t matter, as long as Auntie was still his. Ye Yun was feeling happy when suddenly, a voice made his blood surge and rush to his head. ¡°Yun¡¯er! If you have cultivation questions, Uncle Yang can guide you!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s eyes were fixed on the figure behind his aunt. Yang Chen walked over with a faint smile. ¡°Brother Chen! I can guide him myself! This child is only at the Qi Refining stage, there¡¯s no need to trouble you! You¡¯ve had a long day, you should rest!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s face lit up with a gentle smile when she saw Yang Chen. Brother Chen offering to guide Yun¡¯er¡¯s cultivation. This showed he didn¡¯t dislike Yun¡¯er. They could get along well in the future. Hearing his aunt call Yang Chen ¡°Brother Chen¡±. And that this bastard was alone with Auntie at night. The panicked tone of his aunt earlier. In his past life, he had lived for thousands of years. He could imagine what had happened. Ah! Ye Yun¡¯s heart roared. He was trembling with rage. His face turned green. A cold light shed in his eyes. He wanted to kill Yang Chen right now! To kill this bastard! But he held back. Although he was at the Foundation Establishment stage and could use some soul power. Killing Yang Chen, a true Nascent Soul realm cultivator, was not guaranteed. So, he had to be smart and catch him off guard. One strike to kill. He, Venerable Cangchen, never did anything he wasn¡¯t certain of. So, though filled with anger, Ye Yun clenched his fists and suppressed the urge to act. ¡°Yang Chen! Why are you in my aunt¡¯s room?¡± Though he suppressed the urge to act, his anger was clear, carrying killing intent. ¡°Yun¡¯er, don¡¯t be rude! How can you address your elders by name?¡± Leng Yuyan immediately scolded. ¡°Auntie!¡± Ye Yun felt his mind copsing, and he shouted in a low voice: ¡°This guy clearly has bad intentions! He¡¯s not a good person! Auntie, don¡¯t be fooled by him! You¡¯ll regret it if you do!¡± p! A crisp sound echoed. Leng Yuyan pped Ye Yun. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you are too impudent! How can you speak to your elders like that?¡± Leng Yuyan was angry. She had never hit her nephew before. But what he said today was outrageous. He needed to be taught a lesson. ¡°Brother Chen, Yun¡¯er is immature. Don¡¯t take it to heart!¡± Leng Yuyan turned and apologized to Yang Chen. Yang Chen watched all this, a yful gleam in his eyes. He decided to add fuel to the fire for this protagonist, Ye Yun. He lifted his arm and embraced Leng Yuyan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Yuyan! Yun¡¯er is young and might have some misunderstandings about me! But we are a family now. I believe that with time, he will change his view of me! And you, don¡¯t hit Yun¡¯er again in the future!¡± Chapter 50 - Happiness is Brother Chen! Ye Yun Summons an Netherworld Asura! Chapter 50 ¡ª Happiness is Brother Chen! Ye Yun Summons an Netherworld Asura! Seeing Yang Chen embrace his little aunt, Ye Yun could no longer suppress his raging fury. Damn bastard! ¡°Yang Chen, take your filthy paws off her!¡± Ye Yun bellowed, his voiceced with an oppressive soul force that startled Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan. Yang Chen remained unfazed, having expected this. After all, Ye Yun was a reborn Void Refinement realm cultivator. It was natural for him to unleash soul force when enraged. However, Leng Yuyan¡¯s brows furrowed as confusion and surprise filled her beautiful eyes. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you ¡­¡± That powerful soul fluctuation, though fleeting, was clearly perceived by her, a Ninth stage Golden Core cultivator. But how could Yun¡¯er, at merely the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm, emanate such potent soul force? Could she have sensed it wrongly? Yang Chen noticed Leng Yuyan¡¯s bafflement but didn¡¯t deliberately link Ye Yun to any sinister soul possession, as it wasn¡¯t time to reveal his reincarnation yet. After all, he had only plundered 2,000 luck points from Ye Yun so far, far from enough considering over 10,000 points remained. ¡°Yun¡¯er, are you worried I¡¯ll mistreat your little aunt in the future?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯ll cherish her for the rest of my life.¡± He solemnly raised three fingers towards the sky. ¡°I can swear by the heavens!¡± However, his actions only deepened Ye Yun¡¯s resentment. Bastard! Embracing my aunt right before me, even swearing to love her, you¡¯re truly courting death! My little aunt can only belong to me, Ye Yun! Anyone who dares covet her will meet a dead end! Sensing the sincerity in Yang Chen¡¯s words, Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks reddened as she was deeply moved. Her earlier doubts were temporarily set aside. ¡°Brother Chen! I believe you!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s tender gaze towards Yang Chen was filled with affection, soft as water. ¡°Ah!¡± Ye Yun inwardly roared, feeling his heart bleed. Damn it! Why, Little Aunt? Why would you act like this? You¡¯ve only known this damned Yang Chen for a few days, yet you¡¯ve already reached this point?! ¡°Mmm!¡± Suddenly, Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks flushed red as her delicate body trembled slightly. This was because Yang Chen¡¯s hand, originally on her shoulder, had moved down to her slender waist. Being embraced so intimately by her lover before her nephew was undoubtedly embarrassing. Yet Leng Yuyan obediently snuggled into Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. Yun¡¯er is no longer a child. He should understand that as his little aunt who has raised him for over a decade, needs to pursue her own happiness too. And my happiness is with Brother Chen. ¡°Yun¡¯er, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be in the mood for cultivation tonight!¡± Leng Yuyan said. ¡°You should just head back! We can talk again tomorrow!¡± But how could Ye Yun leave? That scoundrel Yang Chen was embracing his little aunt¡¯s slender waist, and more crucially, she showed no resistance at all, instead nestling willingly into his arms. Damn it! If he left tonight, his little aunt would undoubtedly bepletely ensnared by that bastard Yang Chen. Leaving was absolutely uneptable! Ye Yun¡¯s gaze was fixated on the embracing couple as he gritted his teeth. ¡°Yang Chen!¡± ¡°Yun¡¯er, how many times have I told you not to address your elders by their full names so casually!¡± Leng Yuyan scolded. Ah!Ye Yun roared inwardly, clenching his fists tightly. But he forced himself to say through gritted teeth, ¡°Uncle Yang, you and my little aunt have only known each other for a short while. It¡¯s better to maintain some distance! It¡¯s gettingte, why don¡¯t we head back together? I actually have something to discuss with you too!¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Chen nodded. ¡°Yuyan, Yun¡¯er makes a fair point! I¡¯ll head back first tonight! And chat a bit with Yun¡¯er!¡± Yang Chen spoke softly to Leng Yuyan, having his own ns. Although the chances of securing Leng Yuyan tonight were high, Ye Yun would definitely not just stand by and watch. It was better to leave for now and see what tricks this reborn Void Refinement realm cultivator could pull. Yang Chen and Ye Yun left Leng Yuyan¡¯s courtyard together. ¡°Yang Chen, I¡¯m warning you, you¡¯d better stay away from my little aunt!¡± Ye Yun coldly warned with killing intentcing his voice after some distance. ¡°Leave Mingyue Peak immediately, or you may not get another chance to regret this!¡± ¡°Yun¡¯er, why would you say that? Your little aunt and I love each other! As her nephew, you should wish for your little aunt¡¯s happiness! Also, Yun¡¯er, your little aunt has told you many times not to address me so casually by name. I am still your elder after all!¡± ¡°You¡¯re truly courting death!¡± Killing intent red in Ye Yun¡¯s eyes as he red fiercely at Yang Chen before turning to leave. [Ding, the host and Leng Yuyan confirmed their rtionship amidst sweet intimacy, Ye Yun who has witnessed it has suffered mental damage. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Ye Yun. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] A teasing smile yed on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. Another 1000 Viinous Points obtained; this was quite profitable. Pursuing the protagonist¡¯s aunt while harvesting his providence luck, keke! At this moment, Ye Yun returned to his room. ¡°Damned bastard! I¡¯ll kill you tonight!¡± He could no longer suppress his rage, roaring out loud.@@novelbin@@ His aunt¡¯s rtionship with that bastard had already reached this stage. If he hadn¡¯t gone to find her today, his little aunt would have inevitably fallen into that bastard¡¯s clutches tonight, bingpletely his. This could not be dyed any further. That bastard had to die tonight, or who knows when his little aunt would bepletely possessed by him. By then, he would have nowhere to shed his tears. ¡°I¡¯ve already recovered my Foundation Establishment cultivation and can wield a portion of my soul power! That bastard is undoubtedly overconfident and unprepared. If I strike without warning, I can definitelynd a fatal blow!¡± Ye Yun murmured to himself. When night fell, he sat cross-legged on the ground. A wisp of spectral light emerged from his body ¨C the soul force he had summoned. Having just reached Foundation Establishment, he could wield soul power equivalent to a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Ye Yun chanted incantations while continuously tracing profound runes in the air with his hands. The hazy spectral form gradually solidified, until it manifested as a Netherworld Asura holding a steel fork, mouth brimming with fangs and emanating thick deathly aura. This was a soul art he had cultivated, able to condense a portion of his soul force into a Netherworld Asura ¨C a deadly force against cultivators¡¯ souls, a veritable soul ying technique! ¡°Go, Netherworld Asura, extinguish Yang Chen¡¯s soul!¡± As Ye Yun¡¯s words fell, the Asura¡¯s spectral form vanished from the room. Chapter 51 - Failed Assassination and Suffering Heavy Damage! Overestimated Ye Yun! Chapter 51 ¡ª Failed Assassination and Suffering Heavy Damage! Overestimated Ye Yun! In Yang Chen¡¯s room. Yan Jiu knelt on one knee on the ground. ¡°Master, I sense a soul fluctuation! It should be at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm!¡± ¡°Initial Nascent Soul realm?¡± A hint of amusement shed across Yang Chen¡¯s face. He came back tonight to give Ye Yun an opportunity to strike. After all, the youngdy Leng Yuyan was his beloved forbidden fruit in his heart. Today, he and Leng Yuyan had almost gone all the way. So Ye Yun had to take action against him tonight. Yang Chen was eager to see the true potential of a reincarnated Void Refinement cultivator. Therefore, to be on the safer side, he called Yan Jiu over in advance. But unexpectedly, his opponent was only at the initial Nascent Soul realm. Is this Ye Yun¡¯s current strength? Seems a bit weak. ¡°Master, shall I go and deal with him directly? If I devour this delicious soul, I can reach the Tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or might even break through to the Soul Transformation realm! After which, I can also be a more capable helper to you, master! I can serve you better!¡± Yan Jiu¡¯s withered face had an ingratiating look. But Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t move against him for now, I¡¯m keeping him for another purpose! However, you can have a little snack today!¡± ¡°Snack?¡± Yan Jiu didn¡¯t understand. At this moment, a murderous aura surged into the room. A blue-faced, fanged Asura, holding a steel fork, appeared and stabbed directly at Yang Chen. ¡°Die!¡± The voice was shrill and hoarse, like a grim reaper from hell. This was a soul attack technique. It bypassed the cultivator¡¯s physical body and went straight for the soul. Although Nascent Soul cultivators could start using their soul power, they weren¡¯t proficient in it. Usually, true cultivation of soul techniques began only in thete Nascent Soul realm. So, if Yang Chen was truly just an ordinary First Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he might not be able to dodge this strike. But he wasn¡¯t ordinary. ¡°Humph! A mere illusory soul projection dares to offend my master!¡± Yan Jiu stood in front, pping out a palm that sent the Netherworld Asura flying away. A avaricious smile appeared on Yan Jiu¡¯s face. He understood what his master meant by a snack. This blue-faced asura was definitely formed from that brat¡¯s soul power. Although far from the main body, it was indeed a delicious little dish. ¡°Master?¡± Yan Jiu looked at Yang Chen. ¡°Go ahead, clean it up quickly!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yan Jiu walked towards the Netherworld Asura, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth on his withered face. ¡°Hee hee!¡± ¡°Die!¡± The Netherworld Asura stabbed directly at Yan Jiu with its fork. But the steel fork passed through Yan Jiu¡¯s body. And Yan Jiu turned into a ck mist. The ck mist instantly enveloped the Netherworld Asura. Crunch! Crunch! The sound of crunching came from within the ck mist. Yang Chen felt a chill listening to it. Although the Soul Cult was categorised as evil, their soul secret arts were indeed formidable. Simply treating a soul body of an entity as a delicacy. After devouring it, they can even directly absorb the soul power, increasing their own strength. If not for the method being too monstrous, he would have wanted to learn it too. However, this blue-faced Asura should be the strongest attack Ye Yun could currently unleash. With the attack being only at the initial stage of Nascent Soul realm.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om And so easily dispatched. It seems he had overestimated him before. ¡­ In Ye Yun¡¯s room. Puh! Ye Yun, sitting cross-legged on the ground, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The aura around him instantly withered. ¡°How is this possible! The Netherworld Asura disappeared? Yang Chen is just a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if the assassination failed, my soul power should have returned back to me! But the soul power disappeared directly! Moreover, what is this sense of dread! What¡¯s going on?¡± Ye Yun couldn¡¯t figure it out. He had turned a portion of his soul power into the Netherworld Asura, that was able to directly strike a cultivator¡¯s soul. An initial stage Nascent Soul cultivator, if not trained in soul techniques, would find it very difficult to resist such an attack. Even if the assassination failed, the Netherworld Asura would¡¯ve returned back to him. He could then merge it back with his soul. But now, that part of soul power had vanishedpletely. Not only did the assassination fail, his own soul was left injured. ¡°Damn it! Yang Chen, I didn¡¯t expect that as a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the remote Northern Spiritual Realm, you would¡¯ve mastered such soul techniques! I have underestimated you! No, I must quickly cultivate to thete Foundation Building realm, I must kill him! Meanwhile, I must keep a close watch on my aunt, I absolutely cannot let the her be his lover!¡± ¡­ [Ding, Ye Yun used a soul secret art to assassinate the host and has failed. He has received a bacsh and his soul has been injured. Host has plundered 500 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist, Ye Yun. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Another 500 VPs gained. However, when Ye Yun had caught him and Leng Yuyan being intimate, he was rewarded with a 1000 points of the brat¡¯s Providence Luck. Now, even with his failed assassination and soul injury, he only took about 500 points from him. This showed the importance of the Leng Yuyan to Ye Yun. I still need to keep going. The next day. Even before Yang Chen woke up, there was a knock on the door. ¡°Brother Chen, are you awake?¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s elegant voice came through. Yang Chen got up and went out. In the small courtyard, Leng Yuyan ced a lunch box on the stone table. ¡°Brother Chen, I woke up early today and saw the osmanthus flowers in full bloom, so I made some osmanthus cakes, have a taste!¡± Saying that, Leng Yuyan opened the lunch box. Taking out two tes of osmanthus cakes. A sweet fragrance wafted over. Yang Chen took a bite to taste. ¡°Mm, it¡¯s tastes so good!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s praise, Leng Yuyan¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with delight. ¡°As long as Brother Chen likes it! I¡¯ll make them every day from now on!¡± ¡°Every day?¡± The corners of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. Then he sat beside her, pulling her into his embrace. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan let out a coquettish cry, but showed no resistance. ¡°Don¡¯t take Yun¡¯er¡¯s words fromst night too seriously! Yun¡¯er is just a child who has lived with me for too long, and is a bit reluctant to leave me! But I¡¯ll persuade him!¡± Leng Yuyan said softly in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. Yang Chen smiled: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yun¡¯er is your nephew, which makes him my nephew too! I won¡¯t take him too seriously!¡± ¡°Mm, Brother Chen, you¡¯re so good!¡± Leng Yuyan cooed softly. Yang Chen looked at her exquisite face, her crystal-like red lips. She had clearly put on careful makeup today. Truly a woman who was a pleasure to look at. Swallowing the osmanthus cake in his mouth, he leaned down to kiss her. ¡°Mmph, mmph!¡± Leng Yuyan struggled slightly before wrapping her arms around his neck, melting into his embrace. Chapter 52 - Caught Kissing by Yun鈥檈r! Ye Yun鈥檚 Opportunity! Chapter 52 ¡ª Caught Kissing by Yun¡¯er! Ye Yun¡¯s Opportunity! At this moment, Ye Yun was walking up from the mountain trail, carrying a basket of herbs on his back. Last night, although he was injured, it was more of a spiritual wound than physical. His body was mostly fine. On Mingyue Peak there were many herb gardens and unexplored ancient forests. Moreover, due to the scarcity of disciples, one could often discover precious spirit herbs in those gardens and forests. Ye Yun had a fruitful trip down the mountain today, gathering quite a few spirit herbs. ¡°With these spirit herbs, I can improve my cultivation to the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm! However, I still can¡¯t make a move against Yang Chen. That bastard was able to silently eliminate the sacrificed Netherworld Asura I summoned, so he must have special means! Dammit, how vexing! If I had retained even one-tenth of my full power, I could have directly killed that bastard Yang Chen!¡± Ye Yun thought resentfully as he arrived at Leng Yuyan¡¯s courtyard. During this period, he had decided to keep a close watch on his little aunt, absolutely not giving Yang Chen any opportunities. He would wait until recovering his Foundation Establishment cultivation before finding a way to kill that bastard. ¡°Little Aunt! Little Aunt?!¡± Ye Yun called out a few times, but no one responded. ¡°Damn it! Little Aunt is not here! Don¡¯t tell me she went to see Yang Chen again? Not good!¡± A look of panic shed across Ye Yun¡¯s face as he hurried towards Yang Chen¡¯s residence. Arriving at the courtyard gate, Ye Yun barged right in. His face instantly turned green at the sight before him. ¡°You bastard!¡± Ye Yun gritted his teeth so hard they almost shattered. Although his little aunt got up in a fluster, just moments ago, they were kissing. Damn it! Moreover, that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s ws were even on her corbone area. Damn it. Damn it. That despicable bastard! Killing intent filled Ye Yun¡¯s eyes as raging hatred consumed him. He wanted to charge forward and butcher Yang Chen into a thousand pieces. But currently, he was powerless against Yang Chen. All he could do was seethe inwardly with fury. ¡°Yun¡¯er, why didn¡¯t you knock before entering?¡± Leng Yuyan rebuked him. Then she hurriedly turned to adjust her rumpled long dress, her cheeks flushed red. Unable to help herself, she red at Yang Chen, ¡°Brother Chen, this is all your fault for insisting on doing it in the courtyard! Now Yun¡¯er has seen us!¡± A teasing smile yed on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. What an ident. Yun¡¯er caught them again. Now, Yun¡¯er must be furious. After all, just now, he had ¡­ Lost in thought, Yang Chen touched his nose, still lingering with a fragrant scent. He couldn¡¯t tell if it was the aroma of osmanthus or Leng Yuyan¡¯s own fragrance. Seeing this action, killing intent red in Ye Yun¡¯s eyes as his entire body trembled with rage. [Ding, Ye Yun stumbled upon the host kissing the female lead Leng Yuyan, severely damaging his mental state. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist Ye Yun. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] Another 1000 viin points obtained; Yang Chen mused that this was quite a profitable venture. Such a delightful way of racking up VPs. The pastries were sweet, and the person was sweet too. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you went herb picking again?¡± Yang Chen walked over with an affectionate smile. ¡°If you need any herbs, just tell Uncle Yang. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, I have most of themon spirit herbs!¡± ¡°Piss off!¡± Ye Yun spat through gritted teeth. ¡°Yun¡¯er, mind yournguage!¡± Leng Yuyan walked over and rebuked him. ¡°That¡¯s no way to speak!¡± Seeing his aunt¡¯s attitude towards him, Ye Yun felt a sense of destion. Moreover, his aunt¡¯s hair was slightly disheveled, and there were even some pastry crumbs on her face ¨C all Yang Chen¡¯s handiwork. How vexing! How infuriating! Must I just stand by and watch helplessly? I really want to butcher that bastard Yang Chen! Raging mes burned in Ye Yun¡¯s heart. At that moment, a purple glow suddenly manifested in the sky, dyeing the previously clear heavens a pale violet hue. ¡°The Purple Qi from the East?!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. In the cultivation world, the emergence of celestial treasures would be apanied by heavenly phenomena. Just like the previous appearance of the Green Lotus Heavenly me that could be sensed from thousands of miles away. The Purple Qi from the East was one such phenomenon. Yang Chen gazed at the sky. The purple hue was faint and the area affected wasn¡¯trge, but it was clearly visible from the Qinglin Sect. That meant the celestial treasure was likely located near the Qinglin Sect.N?v(el)B\\jnn Yang Chen looked at Ye Yun, who was also staring intently at the sky with an excited expression. A teasing smile crept across Yang Chen¡¯s face. This celestial treasure opportunity should belong to Ye Yun, the Son of Destiny. If he snatched it, he¡¯d probably earn quite a few VPs. At this moment, rays of light shot into the sky from each of the Qinglin Sect¡¯s peaks. Everyone had noticed this phenomenon of the Purple Qi from the East, signaling the emergence of a celestial treasure, and wanted to seize it. ¡°Brother Chen, a celestial treasure has emerged!¡± Leng Yuyan excitedly walked over. ¡°The elders and disciples from each peak are heading over!¡± ¡°Should we go too?¡± She was clearly eager to try. As cultivators, they coveted immortal treasures, methods, and abodes. A celestial treasure emergence apanied by the Purple Qi from the East was no trivial matter. As a cultivator with ambition, she wanted to contend for it as well. Obtaining this treasure would undoubtedly allow her to greatly increase her strength and narrow the gap between her and Brother Chen. ¡°Since you¡¯re interested, we¡¯ll go take a look!¡± Yang Chen said calmly. ¡°Alright Brother Chen, let¡¯s depart now before the treasure gets seized!¡± Leng Yuyan was full of enthusiasm as she grabbed Yang Chen¡¯s arm and flew off on their swords. ¡°Damn it!¡± Seeing his little aunt actively grab Yang Chen¡¯s arm pained and angered Ye Yun. But looking at the purple clouds in the sky, he gradually calmed down. He had to obtain this celestial treasure. He had a feeling that if he acquired it, his strength would recover further. Damn you, Yang Chen. Just you wait. Once my powers are restored, I will cut you into a thousand pieces and make sure you don¡¯t die an easy death! Instead of following Leng Yuyan, Ye Yun flew off alone on his sword. In the sky, Yang Chen telepathically instructed Yan Jiu, ¡°Yan Jiu, follow Ye Yun!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Behind Yang Chen, faint ck shadows hovered above Mingyue Peak. This celestial opportunity belonged to the protagonist, Ye Yun, so he would undoubtedly be the fastest to locate it. Heh heh. Let Yan Jiu trail him. Allow this Son of Destiny be the treasure-hunting rat for his uncle-to-be! Over five hundred li away from the Qinglin Sect was a vast primordial mountain range. The purple qi in the sky seemed to emanate from here. However, the celestial treasure¡¯s precise location still needed careful exploration. Leng Yuyan was very interested, taking out apass and infusing it with spiritual energy to search for the treasure¡¯s location. But Yang Chen was sensing Yan Jiu¡¯s movements instead. With the Soul Attaching Mother Larva Pill, as long as the distance didn¡¯t exceed ten thousand li, he could sense Yan Jiu¡¯s precise location. Yan Jiu was following Ye Yun, whose position kept changing. After a few hours, Yan Jiu¡¯s location became stationary. It seems Yun¡¯er has found it! Keke! What a good boy! Yang Chen inwardlyughed. ¡°Yuyan,e with me, I sense an anomaly!¡± Yang Chen took Leng Yuyan¡¯s jade-like hand and soared into the sky. At this moment, beneath a mountain peak, Ye Yun was in a standoff with a few young cultivators. ¡°Ye Yun, you¡¯re merely at the Qi Refining realm, yet you daree here? I really admire your courage!¡± ¡°This primordial ancient forest is filled with vicious beasts that could easily take your life!¡± The few young cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment realm, not taking Ye Yun seriously at all. They had stumbled upon this ce by chance, unexpectedly discovering a mountain cave emitting a brilliant glow ¨C the celestial treasure must be inside. As Foundation Establishment disciples, they naturally didn¡¯t covet the treasure themselves and had already reported it to their master. However, Ye Yun¡¯s presence here was rather unsightly. ¡°Senior Brother, Ye Yun¡¯s aunt is at the Ninth Stage of the Golden Core realm. If he informs her, she might seize it before us!¡± ¡°Should we kill this brat to prevent the news from leaking out?¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a waste anyway, it wouldn¡¯t be strange for him to die in this primordial ancient forest!¡± One of the three at the Tenth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm shook his head. ¡°No, we can¡¯t!¡± ¡°I heard from our master that Ye Yun¡¯s aunt, Elder Leng, is the woman of an important figure! Even our master can¡¯t afford to offend that important person! Rumor has it that the death of our former Supreme Elder was rted to that important figure. If we kill Ye Yun, we might invite unnecessary trouble!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The other two disciples became interested upon hearing this, though not about the former Supreme Elder¡¯s death. They were more intrigued by Ye Yun¡¯s aunt, the beautiful Leng Yuyan. ¡°So Elder Leng has a spouse? What a pity!¡± ¡°Elder Leng has always been my dream lover!¡± ¡°s!¡± The Foundation Establishment disciplesmented. As the number one beauty of the Qinglin Sect, which male cultivator didn¡¯t secretly admire the gorgeous Leng Yuyan? At this point, a Late stage Foundation Establishment realm disciple waved at Ye Yun dismissively, ¡°Ye Yun, you should leave this ce quickly! Out of respect for your uncle-to-be, we won¡¯t kill you!¡± ¡°Hurry up and scram!¡± Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Ye Yun looked at the few people in front of him, his eyes filled with killing intent, and he gritted his teeth, saying: ¡°Bastards! All of you will die!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°We will all die?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Several Foundation Establishment disciplesughed. ¡°Ye Yun, you really don¡¯t know your ce!¡± ¡°A piece of trash at the Third stage of Qi Refining, if your aunt wasn¡¯t a sect elder, you would have been kicked down the mountain long ago!¡± ¡°Who gave you the confidence to say this?¡± ¡°Do you think having a powerful uncle means you can disregard us, the senior brothers at the Foundation Establishment realm?¡± ¡°Ah, you bastards, courting death!¡± They kept mentioning his uncle, each word like salt on Ye Yun¡¯s wounds. Ye Yun couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. True qi surged from his body. He, the Venerable Cangchen, a great master at the Void Refinement realm. An existence standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth. Yet he was humiliated by a few Foundation Establishment ants. Hateful, hateful! Today, I must go on a killing spree! ¡°This aura!¡± ¡°Ye Yun, when did you reach Foundation Establishment realm?¡± Feeling the aura emanating from Ye Yun, the few Foundation Establishment disciples were shocked. A few months ago, at the Qingling Sect¡¯s young disciples¡¯petition, Ye Yun was still a well-known Third-stage Qi Refining trash, disgracing his aunt. Now, he had reached Foundation Establishment realm! This cultivation speed was terrifying! ¡°Having a good uncle is really beneficial!¡± ¡°This must be his uncle helping him improve his cultivation!¡± ¡°Sigh, if Elder Leng were my aunt, that would be great. So beautiful, and so good to her nephew, even finding a powerful figure as a Daopanion to help her nephew!¡± ¡°Damn bastard! Die!¡± Ye Yun roared. True qi surged from his body, condensing into a pitch-ck de light. The de light shed horizontally. Splurt! The disciple at thete stage of Foundation Establishment in the front was directly cut in half by a single sh. Blood sprayed out, sshing on two faces. ¡°Wha¡ª what!?¡± This scene stunned the other two Foundation Establishment disciples. One sh killed ate-stage Foundation Establishment disciple. Ye Yun¡¯s strength was terrifying! Instinctively, the two wanted to flee. But Ye Yun didn¡¯t give them a chance. Another sh. ¡°Ah!¡± Anotherte-stage Foundation Establishment disciple cried out in pain. This sh directly severed his right arm. ¡°Run!¡± ¡°Ye Yun is abnormal!¡± The two Foundation Establishment disciples flew into the sky, not caring about anything else. But Ye Yun, having already made his move, certainly wouldn¡¯t let them leave. ¡°Die!¡± Another sh. Thete-stage Foundation Establishment disciple, who had his arm severed, had his head cut off, blood spurting three feet high! ¡°You won¡¯t escape either!¡± ¡°Die here!¡± Ye Yun chased the other disciple. He was about to kill him. But then. A golden light attacked. Bang! Ye Yun swung his sword to block, but was still struck to the ground by the golden light. ¡°Ye Yun, how dare you! Who gave you the courage to kill a disciple under this seat¡¯s* guidance!¡± [*Seat/this seat is a term people in high position used to refer to themselves.] The golden light dissipated. The neer was a middle-aged man in a white robe. ¡°Master, Ye Yun was ruthless, killing Senior Brother Li with one sh, and Senior Brother Wang was also dismembered!¡± ¡°Fortunately, Master arrived in time, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have survived!¡± Thete-stage Foundation Establishment disciple cried. His heart was filled with fear. The terrifying aura just now had made him unable to even think of resisting. The middle-aged man in the white robe, hovering in midair, stared nkly at the iplete corpses of the two disciples and Ye Yun on the ground. Though angry in his heart. But more so, he was puzzled. Those two disciples were both Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Ye Yun, a few months ago, was at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm. Now he could kill Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators? This was unbelievable. Ye Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. ¡°A mere cultivator at the Tenth stage of Golden Core realm. Hmph, if my soul hadn¡¯t been damagedst night, I could have killed you now! Damn Yang Chen! Damn it, If I don¡¯t kill this guy now, it¡¯ll be a bit troublesome! This guy is also after the celestial treasure!¡± Ye Yun was pondering how to obtain the celestial treasure in the cave. At this moment. Two more beams of light flew in. Landing in front of him. It was Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan. Seeing the two iplete corpses on the ground. Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. It seemed Ye Yun had made a move just now. Quite ruthless! Neither of the two corpses was intact. ¡°Elder Leng!¡± The white-robed cultivator in the skynded.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°Your nephew Ye Yun, killed two of myte-stage Foundation Establishment disciples! What do you have to say about this?¡± The white-robed cultivator at the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm. So, he was not afraid of Leng Yuyan at all. If it were usual times, he would have pped Ye Yun to death. But now. The handsome young man beside Leng Yuyan was a big shot. The sect master had specially instructed him to not to offend this person. The death of the Great Elder seemed to be rted to this person. So, even though his disciples died tragically, he did not impulsively kill Ye Yun. Instead, he gave Leng Yuyan face, asking her how she¡¯d handle it. ¡°Elder Zhao, was this really done by Yun¡¯er?¡± Leng Yuyan was caught off-guard. After all, Ye Yun had always been at the Third stage of the Qi Refining realm. She had recently been looking for the Tri-moonlight flower to improve Ye Yun¡¯s aptitude. Now, Elder Zhao said Yun¡¯er had killed his two Late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples. How was this possible? ¡°Elder Leng, if I hadn¡¯t arrived in time, my disciple Meng Feng would have been killed by your nephew Ye Yun too!¡± ¡°Meng Feng, tell Elder Leng how Ye Yun killed those two!¡± Elder Zhao said in a deep voice. Meng Feng quickly stepped forward and began to recount the events. Leng Yuyan listened, her brows furrowing. Killing sect disciples was a capital offense! ¡°Yun¡¯er, tell your aunt, did you do this?¡± Leng Yuyan asked Ye Yun. But in her heart, she was already 80% sure. Because, the aura emanating from Ye Yun¡¯s body now, although it was gradually weakening, was not something a cultivator at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm could exude. Only a Foundation Establishment cultivator could do that. A few days ago, Yun¡¯er was still at the Third stage of Qi Refining realm. Now he had reached Foundation Establishment. As his aunt, she was familiar with his inferior spiritual roots. So, she had to go to great lengths to find the Tri-moonlight flower to improve his aptitude. But now. Ye Yun, with inferior spiritual roots, had reached Foundation Establishment realm in less than ten days. Suddenly. A bold idea shed in her mind. Brother Chen was investigating evil spirits. Could it be? Impossible! Impossible! Leng Yuyan quickly dismissed the thought. Daring not to think in that direction. ¡°Aunt, I!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s aura couldn¡¯t be hidden instantly. Since his aunt discovered his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he didn¡¯t bother to hide it. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Anyway, his aunt would find out sooner orter. ¡°Aunt, it was these two who wanted to kill me, and I defended myself! They attacked me together, so I had to use my full strength! In a slip, I killed two of them!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s eyes narrowed. If so, it would be easier to handle. idental death caused by self-defence and intentionally killing a fellow disciple, was different. Both carried different consequences. Meng Feng immediately refuted: ¡°Ye Yun, you¡¯re lying!¡± ¡°Senior Brother Li did talk about killing you, but I refuted it immediately! The three of us didn¡¯t attack you! But Ye Yun, you suddenly attacked us! You say we attacked you, but have you sustained any injuries?¡± Elder Zhao also said in a deep voice at this time: ¡°Elder Leng, I also saw it was Ye Yun chasing my disciple! At that time, the aura on his body was very discordant, not the aura of our Qingling Sect¡¯s cultivation method. It was filled with ferocious killing intent!¡± These words made Leng Yuyan stunned again. Ferocious killing intent? Thismade her think of Brother Chen¡¯s evil spirits again! But at this moment, Yang Chen, who had been silent, spoke: ¡°I believe in Yun¡¯er! This matter ends here! Elder Zhao, take your disciple and leave now!¡± Elder Zhao¡¯s shoulders slumped upon hearing this. Yang Chen revealed his Nascent Soul realm aura to him. To make him back down. ¡°As expected, a Nascent Soul cultivator!¡± Elder Zhao thought to himself. But, his two disciples had died tragically. Was he going to just let it go? Those two were his personal disciples! Elder Zhao, under pressure, said in a deep voice: ¡°Senior, my two disciples died in front of Ye Yun, you can see they were killed by him! Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for you defend him like this?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Yang Chen was taken aback. Unexpectedly, this guy had quite a backbone. These two Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed by Ye Yun. He could naturally see it. But now was not the time to kill Ye Yun. He hadn¡¯t plundered enough of his Providence Luck yet. Yang Chen directly sent out a sword light. The sword light broke through the air, it was unstoppable. It sent Elder Zhao, a cultivator at the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm flying. Barely standing, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. ¡°Yun¡¯er is my nephew! I know how to deal with him!¡± Yang Chen said sternly. Elder Zhao was shocked. The other party just casually swung a sword and injured him. Such strength. He was probably not just an ordinary Early-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Forget it. Even the sect master couldn¡¯t provoke him, how could he? ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Elder Zhao, not caring about the celestial treasure, took his disciples¡¯ corpses and left. ¡°Brother Chen, you were too biased towards Yun¡¯er in this matter!¡± Leng Yuyan said helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Yang Chen patted her on the shoulder, hugged her slender waist. Then looked at Ye Yun, a gentle smile on his face. ¡°Yun¡¯er is your nephew, so he¡¯s my nephew too! We¡¯re a family! Even if Yun¡¯er really killed them, we can¡¯t just turn him in, can we?¡± *** Although Ye Yun was very curious why Yang Chen, this bastard, was helping him. But when he saw Yang Chen¡¯s thieving hands hugging his aunt¡¯s slender waist. His heart was filled with fury. Moreover, this bastard kept referring to himself as his ¡°uncle¡±, acting all high and mighty. Ye Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent. This bastard! He deserves to die! Hurry up and get your filthy paws off my aunt! I haven¡¯t even touched her waist myself! ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re so nice!¡± At this moment, feeling the affection in Yang Chen¡¯s words and his caring attitude towards Ye Yun as his nephew, Leng Yuyan snuggled into his embrace. Her beautiful eyes were full of affection, gentle as water. She temporarily put aside her doubts about Ye Yun. Damn it! Watching his aunt take the initiative to lean into Yang Chen¡¯s arms. Ye Yun¡¯s eyes turned green with envy. Aunt, you¡¯re supposed to be an ice-cold beauty! Why are you being so proactive with this bastard!? You haven¡¯t even hugged me before! At this moment, a dazzling light shone from within the cave. Yang Chen immediately said: ¡°Yuyan, the treasure must be inside!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go in quickly!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Leng Yuyan suppressed her feelings and followed Yang Chen into the cave. Not good! Ye Yun felt anxious. If there were only disciples at the Foundation Establishment realm, he could handle them. But now, Yang Chen, this bastard, was also exploring. Things had be troublesome. Ye Yun hurriedly flew into the cave as well. With his powerful spiritual perception from his Void Refinement realm soul power, he could roughly sense it from such a close distance. The treasure inside was likely a heavenly elixir that could enhance a cultivator¡¯s realm. So, he had to obtain it. As they walked deeper into the cave, the light grew increasingly intense.@@novelbin@@ Until they had gone a hundred meters. The cave widened. And there was a pool. The entire pool was distinct. Half of it was frozen. The other half was filled withva. In the center of the pool. A strange flower with one half red and the other half blue was blooming. ¡°Yin-Yang Harmony Flower!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s eyes were full of excitement. He didn¡¯t expect it to be such a heavenly treasure! The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, with one side extremely cold and the other extremely hot. The yin and yang of the five elements are something almost every cultivator must deal with. So, the yin and yang qi in the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is extremely pure, verypatible with a cultivator¡¯s true qi, and can be directly absorbed! Moreover, because this elixir is close to the essence of the Dao, it can improve a cultivator¡¯s physique, turning a mortal body into a spiritual body with extraordinary benefits! Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me! Ye Yun was extremely excited. The body he was reborn into had the most ordinary mortal physique with inferior spiritual roots. His talent was extremely poor. If he could obtain this Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. Not only could he recover part of his strength, but he could also improve his physique, making up for innate deficiencies. Ye Yun could no longer hold back, directly leaping towards the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower in the pool. However, how could Yang Chen let him seed? Arge hand made of true qi directly grabbed Ye Yun, who was about to touch the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, pulling him back. And he reprimanded: ¡°Yun¡¯er, do you want to die? This is the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, extremely cold and hot. With your strength, if you touch it, you¡¯ll either be burned to ashes or frozen into an ice sculpture! Don¡¯t be reckless!¡± Bastard! Ye Yun cursed in his heart.Although the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is extremely cold and hot, as a reborn Void Refinement cultivator, I have my own way to handle it! This bastard is clearly doing it on purpose! Deliberately not letting me take it! Damn it! Chapter 55 Chapter 55 ¡°I discovered this cave first! This Yin-Yang Harmony Flower should belong to me!¡± Ye Yun said in a deep voice. If he had the strength, he would definitely not waste words and would have pped Yang Chen to death. But after losing part of his soul powerst night, now he couldn¡¯t even defeat a Golden Core cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul one. He could only reason with Yang Chen. Yang Chenughed secretly in his heart but still maintained a serious expression: ¡°Yun¡¯er, it looks like you¡¯ve been bewitched by the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower! A heavenly treasure like the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower has the power to confuse a cultivator¡¯s mind, so it¡¯s normal for you to feel greedy. Uncle Yang can understand! But you are only at the Initial stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm can¡¯t withstand the extreme cold and heat of the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower! Uncle Yang is stopping you for your own good. I don¡¯t want you to lose your life out of greed!¡± ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard!¡± Ye Yun couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and cursed directly. Leng Yuyan immediately reprimanded: ¡°Yun¡¯er, don¡¯t be rude! Your Uncle Yang is doing it for your own good!¡± Sigh! Yang Chen sighed, looking helpless:This child! Yuyan, watch over Yun¡¯er and don¡¯t let him act recklessly! The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower can confuse a cultivator¡¯s mind, and Yun¡¯er has a low cultivation, so he must have been bewitched! I¡¯ll pick the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower!¡± ¡°Okay! Brother Chen, be careful!¡± Leng Yuyan nodded lightly, then stood in front of Ye Yun. She clearly agreed with Yang Chen¡¯s words. ¡°Aunt!!¡± The veins on Ye Yun¡¯s forehead bulged in anger. Yang Chen, this bastard, is really despicable! He¡¯s clearly stealing my opportunity. Yet he acts as if it¡¯s for my own good. Damn it, shameless! Using such a sinister trick. Making my beloved aunt block me! Ye Yun wanted to rush over. But Leng Yuyan, after all, had a cultivation at the Golden Core realm. She directly blocked him. ¡°Yun¡¯er, your Uncle Yang is right. The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can touch! Don¡¯t be foolish!¡± ¡°Aunt!¡± Ye Yun clenched his fists in anger, the veins on his forehead bulging. The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower was too important to him. With it, he could fully restore his strength. At that time, who in the Northern Spiritual Realm could stop him!? But now. He was blocked by his aunt. Ye Yun was filled with hatred. The opportunity to recover his strength was right in front of him. But he could only watch helplessly as Yang Chen picked the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. Damn it! Aunt, why are you helping that bastard and not me? What kind of mind-altering drug did he feed you? [Ding! The host has made Leng Yuyan block Ye Yun, Ye Yun is nearing a mental breakdown. Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Ye Yun. The host has gained 500 VPs!] [Ding! The host has seized Ye Yun¡¯s opportunity. The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, plundering 2000 points of Ye Yun¡¯s Providence Luck. The host has gained 2000 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was stunned. A smile appearing on his face. This trip was really profitable. He directly gained 2500 VPs. However, there was an even more exciting n waiting for Yun¡¯er. Yun¡¯er, you must hold on. ¡°Yuyan, the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower has one yin and one yang essence each! You have an ice attribute, and I have a fire attribute! Let¡¯s refine this Yin-Yang Harmony Flower together!¡± Yang Chen walked over slowly and spoke. ¡°Refine it together?¡± Leng Yuyan was stunned. But soon her eyes were filled with emotion. When the yin and yang essence within the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower aligns with a cultivator¡¯s natural qi, it bes exceptionally suited forplete absorption. But Brother Chen was willing to share it with her. Brother Chen was so good to her. At this moment. There was amotion outside the cave. Soon, several middle-aged cultivators came in. ¡°This is the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower! Such a heavenly treasure!¡± Several Golden Core cultivators recognized it and their eyes immediately filled with greed. They wanted to seize it. But before they could make a move. Several sword qi directly pierced through their bodies. Plop! Plop! They spat out blood and knelt on one knee. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, get lost!¡± Yang Chen released the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The few were terrified. They regained their senses and hurriedly left. Yang Chen frowned slightly: ¡°Yuyan, refining the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower in this pool is best! But if another cultivator breaks in, it will be troublesome!¡± Hearing this. Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks flushed. ¡°Brother Chen, do we need to take off our clothes?¡± Yang Chen nodded seriously, saying: ¡°Yes! This pool is where the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower was born. One side ice, one sideva ¡­ Refining it here will be the most effective! If one person absorbs it, it doesn¡¯t matter! But for the two of us, if there are clothes in the way, it will affect the separation of yin and yang qi! Then, the imbnce of yin and yang may affect the Dao foundation!¡± ¡°I see!¡± Leng Yuyan nodded lightly. She trusted Yang Chen unconditionally now. But she felt a bit shy. After all, Yun¡¯er was still here. Ye Yun, standing to the side, listened to Yang Chen¡¯s words and his face contorted with rage. This bastard wants to refine the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower with my aunt? And take off their clothes? Damn it! Shameless scoundrel! Ye Yun hurriedly tried to stop them: ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t believe his words! He¡¯s just trying to take advantage of you! This guy is a perverted beast in human clothing!¡± But Leng Yuyan frowned and scolded: ¡°Yun¡¯er, shut up! How can you speak about your Uncle Yang like that! Besides, we are Daopanions, you, a junior, shouldn¡¯t meddle too much!¡± Worried that Ye Yun would continue spouting nonsense, Leng Yuyan directly used true qi to formation his mouth.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°Brother Chen, please set up a formation to prevent anyone else from entering here! I will take Yun¡¯er outside!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Yang Chen nodded. Seeing Ye Yun¡¯s face turning green with anger, trying to speak but unable to, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile slyly. Yun¡¯er must be feeling very desperate now. Heh heh. At the entrance, Yang Chen set up a formation. It could temporarily block any cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm. Then, he and Leng Yuyan walked into the cave together. Outside. Ye Yun struggled to break free from the restraint Leng Yuyan had ced on him. His forehead was bulging with veins, his face turning red and green. ¡°Ahhhh! Bastard!¡± Ye Yun roared in fury. He wanted to break through the formation Yang Chen had set up. But the formation was extremely firm. He couldn¡¯t see what was happening inside the cave. But he could imagine. Damn it! Ye Yun¡¯s heart bled. Not only did he fail to obtain the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower. But his aunt also had to refine it with that bastard. And the worst part, they had to take off their clothes. And he could only stand outside the cave, helplessly. Bing a bystander, filled with jealousy and frustration. Chapter 56 Chapter 56 In the cave. Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan stood facing each other. ¡°Brother Chen, do we really have to, do we really have to do that?¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks were flushed. Her delicate head lowered to her chest. Ten jade-like fingers intertwined. Yang Chen said in a deep voice: ¡°If you really find it difficult, then forget it! The power of yin and yang can be absorbed even through clothes! It¡¯s just a bit more troublesome and less efficient!¡± Leng Yuyan was startled by these words. She heard the disappointment and heaviness in Yang Chen¡¯s voice. She hurriedly said: ¡°No, no! Brother Chen, I didn¡¯t mean it that way!¡± Leng Yuyan was a bit nervous. Brother Chen had sacrificed so much for her. Even willing to share such a treasure as the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower. And yet she still seemed reluctant. Would Brother Chen be heartbroken? Leng Yuyan quickly said: ¡°Brother Chen, you know my feelings! How could I be unwilling? I¡¯ll do whatever you want me to! It¡¯s just that I¡¯m a bit embarrassed!¡± Seeing her panicked look, a yful smile appeared on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. Leng Yuyan, this woman, waspletely his. Yun¡¯er, oh Yun¡¯er. You must be feeling desperate outside right now. Heh heh. If you saw your little aunt pleasing me like this, wouldn¡¯t you be furious? Yang Chen pulled Leng Yuyan into his arms. Gently stroking her fair, tender cheeks, he said softly: ¡°Yuyan, I certainly know your feelings! Since you¡¯re willing, let¡¯s start quickly! The yin and yang power in this pool is dissipating rapidly! If we don¡¯t absorb it in time, it would be too wasteful! If you absorb the extreme yin qi of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower, it won¡¯t be a problem for you to reach the Nascent Soul realm within three years! In the future, you might even hope to be a Soul Transformation realm cultivator! You can also be my virtuous wife!¡± Listening to the future painted by Yang Chen, Leng Yuyan¡¯s face was full of longing and enchantment. ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll listen to you, Brother Chen!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Leng Yuyan nodded lightly. Her cheeks were exceptionally red. Then, her delicate hand lightly pulled the sash at her waist. Her pce dress slipped off. Instantly, there was a new glow inside the cave. It was as bright as day. Outside the cave. Ye Yun sat on the ground with a ferocious expression. Just thinking about the scene inside the cave at this moment made his turn an eerie green. Damn the heavens! Why are you so unfair to me!? Why let me be reincarnate but unable to disy my previous strength!? I can¡¯t even protect the little aunt I love the most! And now I suffer such great humiliation! I am unwilling! Yang Chen, you bastard! Scoundrel! If you dare touch the woman of I, the Venerable Cangchen, I will make you wish you were dead! I will extract your soul and suppress it under the Nine Netherworlds! At this moment. Several more cultivators flew over. The light that shed in the cave earlier caught the attention of many nearby cultivators. ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± ¡°The celestial treasure must be inside!¡± ¡°Hmm? Someone set up a formation!¡± The few Golden Core cultivators were all from the Qingling Sect and immediately prepared to break the formation. At this moment, a few injured cultivators who were healing nearby hurriedly stopped them: ¡°Senior Brother Song, don¡¯t be reckless! The celestial treasure has already been taken! The one who took it is a Nascent Soul senior! It¡¯s Elder Leng¡¯s Daopanion!¡± ¡°Elder Leng¡¯s Daopanion?¡± The group calmed down. The sect master had previously instructed that Elder Leng¡¯s Daopanion was a big shot. Someone that was absolutely not to be offended. Moreover, these people were severely injured, surely people who had been disciplined by that big figure. ¡°Junior Brother Zhang, do you know what the celestial treasure is?¡± The cultivator named Zhang thought for a moment and said: ¡°To be honest, Senior Brother Song, it¡¯s the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower!¡± ¡°What!?¡± ¡°The Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower!? Such a supreme treasure!¡± The Golden Core cultivators were shocked. Understanding why Junior Brother Zhang and the others dared to try to seize it from that big figure. The Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower contained extremely pure yin and yang power. Any cultivator could perfectly absorb and fuse it. Even though Golden Core cultivators would find it difficult to obtain it, it wasn¡¯t impossible. They had alternate means to get their hands on them. And once refined. It meant directly stepping onto the path to Nascent Soul realm! They¡¯d even have a chance of stepping into the Soul Transformation realm in the future! This was a world-changing spiritual treasure! Enough to make people disregard their identities and take risks. But unfortunately, that senior was a Nascent Soul cultivator, not someone these Golden Core cultivators could contend with. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Elder Leng¡¯s nephew, Ye Yun?¡± At this moment, someone noticed Ye Yun, whose face was green and stiff at the cave entrance, and said. ¡°Yes, Elder Leng¡¯s Daopanion got the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower and should be preparing to refine it with Elder Leng! With the power of yin and yang of the flower, they can dual cultivate! They must have driven this hindrance of a kid out!¡± The group immediately showed yful expressions. ¡°Elder Leng has struck it rich. Refining part of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower will make entering Nascent Soul no problem in the future!¡± ¡°Being beautiful is nice. That big figure is willing to refine the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower with her. If I got it, I would secretly refine it myself!¡± ¡°But this Ye Yun kid is not bad, still guarding the cave for his aunt and uncle!¡± ¡°To avoid being disturbed by others!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, such a filial child!¡± Hearing the discussions of the surrounding Golden Core cultivators. Ye Yun¡¯s face immediately twisted with rage. ¡°Are you looking to die!?¡± ¡°Haha, this kid has quite a temper!¡± ¡°Do you think that finding a Nascent Soul cultivator as an uncle makes us Golden Core cultivators unworthy of your respect?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The mocking gazes of the group made Ye Yun¡¯s heart burn with anger. But he had no way to vent it. A bunch of ants, truly looking for death! Just wait, once I recover my strength, I will turn the entire Qingling Sect into a hellish ughterhouse! You will all die! Ye Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent. After staying at the cave entrance for a day, Ye Yun left. He needed to quickly regain his strength. If he had recovered to thete Foundation Establishment realm today, he could mobilize some of his soul power again! Would he still let Yang Chen that bastard do as he pleased? The Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower¡¯s medicinal effect was enormous, difficult to refine in a short time. As long as he killed Yang Chen and refined him into a human pill. He could also extract the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower. Then, the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower would still be his. Moreover, once Yang Chen was dead. His aunt would belong to him again! He happened to have a dual cultivation technique in his hands ¡­ At that time, he would give it to his aunt. Using the dual cultivation techniquebined with the power of yin and yang. Heh heh. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Ye Yun took a deep look at the cave. For a whole day, he had been eavesdropping. No sound came from inside the cave. That bastard Yang Chen should only be simply absorbing the medicinal power with his aunt. He wouldn¡¯t do anything else. @@novelbin@@ Moreover, his aunt was still an ice beauty. Though she had some fondness for Yang Chen. She wouldn¡¯t be so casual. Aunt, oh aunt, you must stay in control! Don¡¯t let that lecherous thief Yang Chen seed, don¡¯t turn into his puppet! With this hope in his heart, Ye Yun left the cave and walked into the primordial forest. A cruel smile gradually appeared on his face. In the forest, there were many Qingling Sect disciples. Among them were Foundation Establishment cultivators. These people are good quarry. Killing them, refining them into human pills would be good. After all, there wasn¡¯t a single good person in the Qingling Sect. He was going to turn this ce into a hellish ughterhouse in the future. Better to die early and be free from suffering! A Foundation Establishment disciple was about to pick a spiritual herb. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. ¡°Ye Yun? Hmph, a Third-stage Qi Refining waste dares toe to the primordial forest? Are you tired of living?¡± The Foundation Establishment disciple looked disdainful. But just as he turned to pick the herb. sh! A de light directly chopped off his head, blood gushing out. ¡°Truly looking for death! A mere Early-stage Foundation Establishment ant dares call me waste!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s hand held a dark blue me. Directly burning the corpse on the ground. Momentster, it turned into a blood-red pill. After Ye Yun consumed it. His aura instantly soared. Directly advancing from the First to the Second stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. ¡°Not bad, it tastes very good! This is much faster than refining spiritual herbs to improve cultivation! The feeling of great regaining my cultivation! Heh heh! Yang Chen, just wait. Once this seat fully recovers its cultivation, the first thing I¡¯ll do is kill you!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s sinisterughter echoed, then he disappeared into the forest. But he didn¡¯t know that on an ancient tree behind him, a ck-robed figure stood. The ck-robed figure was Yan Jiu. Yan Jiu held a recording stone. Recording the scene of Ye Yun brutally killing the Foundation Establishment cultivator and refining him into a blood pill. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the master is thinking. Wouldn¡¯t it be simpler to just kill this guy directly? Instead, he insists on recording his evil deeds! Sigh, I, a dignified protector of the Soul Cult, am reduced to doing such trivial tasks every day!¡± Yan Jiu¡¯s face was full of reluctance. But he had no way to defy Yang Chen¡¯s orders, nor the desire to do so. He could onlyin in his heart. Watching Ye Yun¡¯s departing figure, Yan Jiu couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips. ¡°A soul-rebirth of a Void Refinement realm cultivator! This is a delicacy for me! When will I get to taste you, my little treasure!¡± *** At this moment. Inside the cave. The pool, originally distinctly divided with one half cold as ice and the other halfva, hadpletely lost its severe cold and scorching heat. Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan sat cross-legged facing each other. One body was crimson red like the sun, while the other was cold as ice. The effects of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower were indeed powerful. Not only could it enhance cultivation but also improve one¡¯s physique. Yang Chen, possessing the Primordial Fire, quickly absorbed half of the scorching yang qi into his body. The Green Lotus Heavenly me seemed to be nourished, bing purer in color. The me roared intensely. Additionally, his cultivation directly rose to the Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, arge amount of scorching yang qi spread throughout his body, not yet refined. Most importantly, his physique was strengthened. Though he originally possessed a heavenly fire attribute spiritual root, his physique was average. For cultivators, the most crucial aspect was naturally the spiritual root. It determined a cultivator¡¯s affinity with the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. However, some special physiques can sometimes be more potent than spiritual roots. These special physiques can enhance a cultivator¡¯s physical strength. Some can enhance a cultivator¡¯sprehension of the Great Dao. Some extremely abnormal ones can even increase the sess rate of transcending tribtion! Yang Chen¡¯s physique had now transformed into a fire attribute spiritual physique. Utterly yang and strong. His physical strength significantly improved. The yang qi dispersed throughout his body gradually strengthened his physique! He even felt that without mobilizing his internal true qi, he could crush a Golden Core realm cultivator with just his physical strength alone! Yang Chen opened his eyes and looked at Leng Yuyan opposite him. Her gains were equally substantial. Her body seemed to be undergoing a transformation. Her cultivation rapidly increased. It had already reached the Tenth stage of the Golden Core realm. She was advancing towards the Nascent Soul realm. However, Leng Yuyan¡¯s state was very unstable. Her delicate skin was covered with frost, as if she were about to be an ice sculpture. ¡°Not good! She can¡¯t withstand the extreme yin qi! Her body is about to be frozen stiff!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes tensed. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m so cold! Save me!¡± Leng Yuyan opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a hazy chill. The extreme yin qi was about to freeze her soul consciousness! Yang Chen frowned. The scorching yang qi and the yin qi from the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower were still too strong. His cultivation was at the Nascent Soul realm, and he possessed Primordial Fire, allowing him to directly absorb the scorching yang qi. But Leng Yuyan, originally at the Ninth stage of the Golden Core realm, had already reached her limit in absorbing the yin qi. If this continued, the yin qi wouldpletely freeze her life essence. ¡°Brother Chen! I¡¯m so cold!¡± Leng Yuyan felt the scorching warmth from Yang Chen¡¯s body and couldn¡¯t help but hug him. ¡°Hiss!¡± Yang Chen took a cold breath. It was truly cold. Sigh, forget it! Since things havee to this point, why should I resist? Yun¡¯er, you shouldn¡¯t me me. After all, I¡¯ve be your uncle, and I should fulfill an uncle¡¯s duty! And the uncle¡¯s duty is to take care of your little aunt! Hehe, my good nephew, are you still outside the cave? At this moment, Ye Yun, who had just refined another Mid Foundation Establishment realm Qingling Sect disciple into a blood pill, sneezed several times in a row. ¡°Damn it, what¡¯s wrong with me? Is some bastard cursing me? Damn it, if there is, it must be that bastard Yang Chen! Two days have passed, why haven¡¯t that bastard and my little aunte out of the cave? No, I must go check!¡± Ye Yun suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart. As if something extremely precious to him was slipping away. Above the cave, yin and yang energies converged. The ghostly blue yin qi and the crimson scorching qi intertwined. The phantom of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower bloomed above the cave, extremely brilliant. Chapter 58 Chapter 58n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Inside the cave, the scene was springlike and boundless. The only regret was that Ye Yun wasn¡¯t guarding the cave entrance. After several hours passed, a powerful aura emanated from Yang Chen¡¯s body. Fourth stage of the Nascent Soul realm! He broke through again! He had stepped into the Mid Nascent Soul realm! The extreme yin qi on Leng Yuyan¡¯s body transformed through the yin-yang convergence, and he absorbed a lot of it. She also broke through in her cultivation. Leng Yuyan had a trace of purple qi surrounded her body. This was a clear indication of one reaching the Nascent Soul realm. Rumble! A thunderous sound echoed. Leng Yuyan¡¯s tribtion lightning had arrived. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan opened her eyes, somewhat panicked. Breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul required undergoing tribtion lightning. But previously, she was only at the Ninth stage of the Golden Core realm, still far from the Nascent Soul realm, and had not prepared for tribtion lightning. ¡°Yuyan, it¡¯s okay! Now that you¡¯ve absorbed the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower, your physique is extraordinary, you can handle the tribtion lightning! Moreover, the tribtion lightning for breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul has only one bolt! Just face it calmly!¡± Yang Chenforted. ¡°Okay!¡± Leng Yuyan nodded and rxed. Then, she sat cross-legged. Rumble! The tribtion lightning directly prated the cave and descended onto Leng Yuyan¡¯s delicate body. Leng Yuyan was surrounded by lightning, but nothing happened to her. This bolt of tribtion lightning did not cause her any substantial harm. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. It seemed that Leng Yuyan¡¯s current physique was quite remarkable. In the future, not to mention entering the Soul Transformation realm, even the Void Refinement realm would not be a problem for her. Leng Yuyan¡¯s talent was good before, but it was uncertain if she could reach the Nascent Soul realm, but after absorbing the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower, she underwent a tremendous transformation. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but change his view of her. If before, Leng Yuyan was more like a tool to exploit Ye Yun¡¯s Providence Luck, now, with the potential to reach the Void Refinement Realm, her status in his heart changed. In the future, Leng Yuyan could be well nurtured. She could be his right-hand woman. Both capable andpetent! [Ding, host haspletely conquered the female lead Leng Yuyan, plundering 3000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist Ye Yun. Host has gained 3000 VPs!] Hmmn? Yang Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. He had plundered 3000 points in one go. As expected, Yuyan is Ye Yun¡¯s most beloved little aunt. Now Ye Yun should be left with less than 4000 points of Providence Luck. So next, it¡¯s time to reveal Ye Yun as an evil spirit and a soul snatcher. When Ye Yun¡¯s most beloved little aunt draws her sword against him, Yun¡¯er will definitely be in despair. Hehe hehe. By then, there will definitely be another wave of viin points. ¡°Chen, what¡¯s wrong? Why do you have such an evil smile on your face?¡± Suddenly, Leng Yuyan¡¯s soft voice came to his ears. Yang Chen immediately came back to his senses. Looking at the stunning face so close to him, a touch of amazement shed in his eyes. After absorbing the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower and reaching the Nascent Soul realm, Leng Yuyan¡¯s temperament had changed significantly. She looked more ethereal. More beautiful. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the very thought of our yin-yang converging that fills me with such happiness, Yuyan?¡± Yang Chen teased. Leng Yuyan¡¯s face instantly turned red: ¡°You¡¯re so annoying, Brother Chen! I couldn¡¯t escape your clutches in the end!¡± Leng Yuyan said, burying her head in Yang Chen¡¯s arms. Thinking that she had finally be Chen¡¯s woman, her heart was filled with happiness. In the future, she would also be a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Following Chen, she would not be a burden anymore. Holding the beauty in his arms, Yang Chen felt the yang qi within him surging. He was about to take some action. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the cave. ¡°Someone is forcefully breaking the formation I set up! Damn it, what a timing!¡± Yang Chen cursed. At the cave entrance, Yang Chen looked at the figure outside, frantically attacking the formation. He was surprised: ¡°It¡¯s Yun¡¯er! You really surprised your uncle, Yun¡¯er! It¡¯s only been a few days, and you can already start to gradually break the formation I set up! I didn¡¯t expect Yun¡¯er to have such strong talent for formations!¡± These words, of course, were intentionally said to Leng Yuyan beside him. A hint of confusion and hesitation shed in Leng Yuyan¡¯s beautiful eyes. But she remained silent. Yang Chen withdrew the formation. ¡°Yun¡¯er, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you breaking the formation your Uncle Yang set up?¡± Yang Chen still wore a gentle smile, his eyes full of affection. ¡°Auntie!¡± Ye Yun didn¡¯t even look at Yang Chen. His gaze was entirely on Leng Yuyan. He scanned her body. Feeling relieved. His aunt had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Previously, his aunt was at the Ninth stage of the Golden Core realm, unable to break through the Tenth stage. Now she directly surpassed the Tenth stage and reached the Nascent Soul realm. So, these days, she must have been cultivating all along! ¡°Aunt, have you and that bastard Yang Chen been cultivating all these days?¡± Ye Yun stepped forward and asked in a deep voice. Hearing this, Leng Yuyan¡¯s face flushed slightly. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the scenes inside the cave. They certainly hadn¡¯t been cultivating all the time. But she naturally wouldn¡¯t say this. Especially to Ye Yun. ¡°Of course, I and your Uncle Yang have been cultivating all along! Your little aunt just underwent tribtion and reached the Nascent Soul realm!¡± ¡°Is that so! That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good!¡± Ye Yun felt relieved again. Thinking of the sudden thunder just now. It had urred only a moment ago. Fortunately. Fortunately. Aunt held on to her bottom line! She didn¡¯t let that bastard Yang Chen seed! She didn¡¯t be that bastard, Yang Cheng¡¯s puppet! Even though he got a positive answer from his aunt, Ye Yun still felt very ufortable. After all, his aunt had been with that bastard. They had borne everything to each other. Thinking of this, Ye Yun was furious. In the future, once his strength recovered, he would erase his aunt¡¯s memory of this period. His most beloved aunt. Could only have him in her heart. How could there be any other man! Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Qingling Sect. On Mingyue Peak. Upon hearing the news of Leng Yuyan breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Qingling Sect Master and many elders came to congratte her.@@novelbin@@ Their Qingling Sect had gained another Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Moreover, she had refined half of the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower. In the future, stepping into the Soul Transformation realm wouldn¡¯t be a problem. The most crucial part was bing the woman of the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. From now on, their Qingling Sect would have a connection with Xuantian Sect. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, there would be few forces that dared to oppose them! On Mingyue Peak, a Nascent Soul banquet was held. A sect like Qingling Sect had only a few Nascent Soul cultivators. So, whenever a Nascent Soul cultivator was born, it was naturally a grand asion. The sect elders and outstanding disciples would almost alle. Especially since the sect master specifically mentioned that Elder Leng¡¯s Daopanion was a significant figure. The elders and disciples of Qingling Sect eagerly came to meet him. After all, that significant figure was willing to share the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower with Elder Leng. It was clear he was a generous person. Especially some female cultivators with good looks. Knowing that Leng Yuyan reached the Nascent Soul realm through her Daopanion, they had bold thoughts. Each of them came with delicate makeup and wearing their most appropriate dresses. That significant figure, who knew if he still neededpanions? Even being a maid or a concubine would be fine. If chosen, their fate could change. ¡°Elder Leng, congrattions, our Qingling Sect has another Nascent Soul cultivator!¡± ¡°Elder Leng, congrattions, from now on you are a Nascent Soul senior!¡± ¡°Sister Yuyan, congrattions on stepping into the Nascent Soul realm, with hopes for future Soul Transformation realm!¡± Voices of congrattions surrounded her. Leng Yuyan held Yang Chen¡¯s arm, her beautiful face full of smiles. ¡°Brother Chen, thank you! If it weren¡¯t for you, I might never reach the Nascent Soul realm in my lifetime!¡± Leng Yuyan whispered in Yang Chen¡¯s ear. Yang Chen smiled yfully. ¡°Then you should properly thank me!¡± ¡°Naughty!¡± Leng Yuyan coquettishly scolded. Knowing in her heart what Yang Chen meant by thanking him. Brother Chen, despite his gentlemanly appearance, was actually very bad in private. Seeing his little aunt holding Yang Chen¡¯s arm, looking like a loving couple. Ye Yun¡¯s teeth itched with anger. Damn it! Little Aunt, why are you so indiscreet? That bastard Yang Chen, didn¡¯t he just share the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower with you? He did it to see your body and take advantage of you! Moreover, I found the Yin-Yang Harmonious Flower first, it¡¯s mine, mine! Yang Chen, damn you! Ye Yun¡¯s heart raged. His face flushed with anger. At this moment, several female disciples of Mingyue Peak walked past him. ¡°Our master and Senior Yang are truly a perfect match, made in heaven!¡± ¡°I think master will follow Senior Yang in the future, and won¡¯t stay at our Mingyue Peak!¡± ¡°I also want to follow Senior Yang, he¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°Ha, do you have master¡¯s looks? Our master is the most beautiful woman in Qingling Sect!¡± ¡°I might not be as pretty as master, but I have a great figure, I¡¯m still young, maybe Senior Yang likes my type! Moreover, I can serve Senior Yang together with master! Being served by both master and disciple, that¡¯s a feeling no man can refuse!¡± Several female disciples whispered. Ye Yun, standing nearby, overheard them. His face turned ck immediately. A strong killing intent shed across his face. Damn it, you little whores. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re wanton yourselves. Do you think my aunt is like you? My aunt can only be mine! That bastard Yang Chen must die tonight! Over the past two days of hunting, Ye Yun had recovered to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although he hadn¡¯t reached the Late stage of Foundation Establishment realm. However, he could now mobilize part of his soul power. Moreover, this time, it was even stronger than before! That bastard Yang Chen must die! He couldn¡¯t wait any longer! If he waited any longer, his little aunt wouldpletely be that bastard¡¯s. Late at night. In Yang Chen¡¯s room. Yan Jiu kneeled on one knee, handing Yang Chen several shadow stones. ¡°Master, this boy is walking an evil path, it should be the Path of an Asura! As long as he devours blood qi, he can directly convert it into cultivation! These past few days, this boy has ughtered dozens of Qingling Sect disciples, all recorded by me! Moreover, in just two days, this boy has reached the Sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm! Master, if you want to kill him, do it quickly, there¡¯s no more time to wait!¡± ¡°The Path of an Asura? Devouring blood qi to convert into cultivation? Reaching the Sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in two days?¡± Yang Chen pondered. No wonder he was the Son of Destiny. This speed of breaking through realms was unbelievably fast. However, as Yan Jiu said, he couldn¡¯t be left alive any longer. Otherwise, if this guy broke through to the Golden Core realm. it would be much harder to deal with him. After all, he had a soul at the Void Refinement realm. The stronger his cultivation, the stronger the soul power he could mobilize! Yang Chen was not a brainless viin. He wouldn¡¯t be arrogantly confident. He infused a trace of true qi into the shadow stone. Instantly, images appeared. The scenes were very clear. The angles were just right. ¡°Yan Jiu, you¡¯re quite good at taking secret photos!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled yfully. ¡°Thank you for your praise, master!¡± Yan Jiu was a bit proud. He was a cultivator of the Soul Cult. He¡¯d stalk people day after day. He was quite adept at capturing footage from various angles. ¡°Go secretly deliver these shadow stones to the elders of Qingling Sect!¡± ¡°Yes, master!¡± Yan Jiu took the shadow stones and disappeared into a cloud of ck mist. At this moment. From outside Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard, came the sound of soft footsteps. ¡°Hmm?¡± Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, a yful smile on his lips. ¡°Brother Chen? Are you asleep?¡± Outside the room, came Leng Yuyan¡¯s voice. Yang Chen walked over and opened the door. Outside. Leng Yuyan wore a tight-fitting pce dress. Her graceful figure was fully disyed. Her beautiful face was delicately made up. Her eyebrows lightly painted, her lips glistening. The long dress hugged her body, her waist was slender, impossible to grasp, yet it highlighted the grandeur beneath her neck. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Seeing Yang Chen¡¯s fiery gaze, Leng Yuyan¡¯s face blushed. ¡°Yuyan, why are you here sote?¡± Yang Chen asked with a smile. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 ¡°Nothing, nothing! I couldn¡¯t sleep, wanted to see if you were asleep. I made some osmanthus cakes for you.¡± Leng Yuyan held a basket in her hand. But, bringing osmanthus cakeste at night. This was obviously an excuse. Moreover, she had dressed up carefully. Her intentions were clear. Yang Chen naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. He directly pulled Leng Yuyan into his arms. ¡°Brother Chen, uh-uh, uh-uh!¡± The basket fell to the ground. Leng Yuyan wrapped her arms around Yang Chen¡¯s neck. Meanwhile. In Ye Yun¡¯s room. A dark light surrounded Ye Yun. Then, gradually merged into his body. ¡°Hu!¡± Ye Yun exhaled deeply. A murderous, bloody aura filled the room. At this moment, Ye Yun¡¯s face was hideous, his eyes blood red. On his face, several green lines extended down to his neck. At this moment, Ye Yun looked like a hellish Asura, terrifying and sinister. This was also the special feature of his cultivation method. In his previous life, he cultivated the Path of an Asura. He was besieged and killed by hypocrites of the so-called righteous path.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om In this life, he originally didn¡¯t n to cultivate the Path of an Asura until he saved his little aunt. But, he encountered that bastard Yang Chen. So, he couldn¡¯t wait. If he didn¡¯t crazily improve his strength. His little aunt wouldpletely be that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s soon. Although his appearance was terrifying, Ye Yun¡¯s aura was extremely powerful. He had already reached the Late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He integrated the soul power he had mobilized directly into his body. Compared to summoning the Netherworld Asura, this allowed him to exert stronger power! Tonight, he had to kill Yang Chen with one strike! Ye Yun turned into a shadow and disappeared from the room. He reappeared above Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard. Ye Yun stood in the air, looking silently at the brightly lit courtyard below. Holding several blood-red bone gs in his hands. He threw them in all directions. Immediately, spatial ripples spread out. In Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard, Yan Jiu, who had just returned from delivering the shadow stones, looked up, surprised. ¡°He set up a formation to ce spatial lock, isting external qi! This boy, he has some skills! Trying to trap a tortoise in a jar? Heh, I¡¯m afraid you probably don¡¯t know, the dignified protector from the Soul Cult is here! We Soul Cult cultivators specialize in teaching these soul bodies a lesson! You dare be arrogant even after death! However, without the master¡¯s order, I won¡¯t act rashly, let¡¯s see what you do first!¡± After Ye Yun secretly set up the formation in the air, hended in Yang Chen¡¯s small courtyard. ¡°Yang Chen, today is the day you die! I will leave you nowhere to flee or escape! After refining you into a blood pill and devouring you, I can at least recover to the Late-stage Golden Core realm! At that time, the entire Northern Spiritual Rm shall be my domain to devour blood!¡± Ye Yun slowly approached the door to Yang Chen¡¯s chamber. Poised to obliterate the dwelling with a single strike of his palm. Suddenly, a peculiar sound pierced through the window, assailing his ears. At times shrill, At times mournfully melodious, at times akin to sorrowful wails andmentations. Ye Yun was rendered motionless, stunned. Then, his countenance gradually turned a sickly green hue! A ghastly, ferocious green, an unsettling sight to behold! ¡°Ah! You wretched bastard! Yang Chen, I shall end your life! I¡¯ll tear you asunder into a thousand bloody pieces!¡± *** As the haunting, peculiar sounds emanating from the room, Ye Yun¡¯s face turned a livid green. After having achieved the rank of a Void Refinement Realm cultivator in his previous life and having roamed the world for thousands of years, he could recognize this sound instantly. Dammit! Why, Aunt, why did you deceive me? Standing by the window, Ye Yun clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, drawing blood. He couldn¡¯tprehend why his aunt would treat him this way. Why had she lied to him? Didn¡¯t she im that she and that bastard Yang Chen were just cultivating in the cave? Then why was this happening now? Why, Aunt, did you degrade yourself like this? Damn it! You filthy pair! Die! Ye Yun could no longer hold back. His body exuded a bloodthirsty, sinister aura as he unleashed his Late-stage Nascent Soul power. ¡°Yang Chen, die for me!¡± Ye Yun soared into the sky, his voice echoing to the heavens, but he refrained from destroying the house. He neither wanted nor dared to witness what was inside. Momentster, Yang Chen emerged from the room, followed by a blushing Leng Yuyan. ¡°Yun¡¯er? Is that you, Yun¡¯er?¡± Yang Chen looked up at the imposing figure of Ye Yun in the sky with confusion but secretly delighted at the unexpected surprise. Oh, Yun¡¯er must be heartbroken now. [Ding! Ye Yun has eavesdropped on host and Leng Yuyan¡¯s intimacy, causing him to have mental breakdown. Plundering 2000 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 2000 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice startled Yang Chen. 2000 points? It seemed tonight¡¯s event had dealt a critical blow to Ye Yun. ¡°Yun¡¯er?¡± The blush faded from Leng Yuyan¡¯s face, reced by shock. Ye Yun¡¯s visage was terrifying, veins standing out on his face, his eyes blood-red, his hair billowing in the wind, resembling a hellish demon. Although Leng Yuyan had harbored suspicions about Ye Yun, she had never wanted to believe them. After all, Ye Yun was her nephew, whom she had raised for over a decade, and her sister¡¯s only son. Blood ties made him her sole family in the world. Yet now, was this fearsome figure still her gentle, polite Yun¡¯er? Moreover, Yun¡¯er had reached the Foundation Establishment realm in a short time, an already astonishing feat. But now, the power radiating from him was even stronger than hers, even more powerful than Brother Chen! ¡°Aunt!¡± Ye Yun roared, ¡°Come here!¡± Leng Yuyan shook her head. ¡°Yun¡¯er, why have you changed so much? Are you still my Yun¡¯er?¡± Ye Yun froze, realizing he had overreacted. Now, his aunt surely doubted him. His appearance and cultivation level had indeed changed dramatically. His murderous aura subsided slightly. ¡°Aunt, I am still Yun¡¯er! I¡¯ve just had some extraordinary opportunities you might not understand. But don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll always be my aunt, and I¡¯ll always be your Yun¡¯er,¡± he said slowly. Though furious that his aunt had engaged in such acts with that bastard Yang Chen, Ye Yun¡¯s soul had fused with the memories and emotions of his predecessor, ¡®Ye Yun.¡¯ He possessed an obsessive attachment to his aunt. Thus, even though she had briefly been with Yang Chen, he could tolerate it¡ªas long as he killed Yang Chen, the culprit. ¡°Aunt,e back to me. Tonight, Yang Chen must die. I don¡¯t want to identally hurt you,¡± Ye Yun said sternly. But Leng Yuyan shook her head. ¡°If you¡¯re still my Yun¡¯er, then listen to your aunt. Brother Chen is a good person, and we truly love each other. Yun¡¯er, that makes him your uncle. He¡¯s taken care of you¡ªwhy do you want to kill him?¡± ¡°Ah!!! Bitch, shut up!¡± Ye Yun roared, his eyes zing red again, his face more ferocious than before. The mere thought of calling Yang Chen ¡®uncle¡¯ filled him with a murderous urge. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Yang Chen rebuked sternly, his face full of elder¡¯s authority. ¡°You can insult me, but not your aunt who raised you!¡± Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Ye Yun red at him with blood-red eyes. ¡°Yang Chen, stop talking nonsense. Tonight, I¡¯ll kill you. Do you think you can escape?¡± With a wave of his hand, blood-red pirs of light rose around the courtyard, sealing off the outside world, even blocking the starlight. The area waspletely isted. ¡°You¡¯ve set up a formation to seal space? Such formation techniques are beyond even Soul Transformation realm cultivators, perhaps onlyprehensible to a Void Refinement cultivator,¡± Yang Chen remarked, impressed. Indeed, Ye Yun was a Void Refinement cultivator with many techniques, including space-locking formations. ¡°So don¡¯t think about escaping,¡± Ye Yun said coldly. ¡°Tonight, you will die a horrible death. I¡¯ll refine you into a blood pill and extract your soul to quench my rage.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen smirked. When had he ever said he would flee? Despite Ye Yun¡¯s Late-stage Nascent Soul aura, Yang Chen felt no need to run. Not to mention the Soul Cult cultivator Yan Jiu, his own power could easily kill Ye Yun. After all, Ye Yun was just a soul body, while Yang Chen was a genuine Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with extraordinary abilities. But Ye Yun still had 2000 luck points¡ªkilling him outright seemed a waste. ¡°Yun¡¯er, your killing intent is overwhelming, your appearance terrifying. As an elder, I must subdue you first!¡± Yang Chen dered righteously. ¡°Subdue me?¡± Ye Yun sneered. This bastard dared to boast at death¡¯s door. Just a Nascent Soul? He underestimated the mighty Void Refinement cultivator! ¡°Enough talk, die!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s body glowed darkly as he struck with a ck palm imprint towards Yang Chen. ¡°Brother Chen, be careful!¡± Leng Yuyan cried, trying to help Yang Chen. But before the ck palm imprint couldnd, it was incinerated by ayer of blue me. ¡°Is that ¡­ a Primordial Fire?¡± Ye Yun¡¯s voice trembled with fear. He hadn¡¯t expected Yang Chen to possess such a fire. Dammit, he was a soul body specializing in the Asura Path¡ªPrimordial Fire was his nemesis! ¡°No, even if you have Primordial Fire, you must die today!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s face twisted with determination as he prepared to strike again. A demonic shadow suddenly appeared¡ªa colossal figure towering over a hundred feet, holding a ck demon mountain. An oppressive force enveloped Ye Yun, filling him with deep-seated fear. ¡°What is this? An Heavenly Ancient Demon n¡¯s technique? Impossible!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s terror was soul-deep. ¡°Devil Mountain Suppressing World!¡± Yang Chen shouted. The 36 Heavenly Demon Stone Carving Techniques! He had previously mastered the Axe Splitting Chaos Carving and recently the Devil Mountain Suppressing World Carving, preparing it specifically for Ye Yun.@@novelbin@@ ¡°Suppress!¡± Yang Chenmanded. The towering demon mountain descended. ¡°Dammit!¡± Ye Yun roared, his body glowing with a dark light that painted the sky, trying to resist the descending mountain. But it was futile. The mountain wasn¡¯t just a mountain but a manifestation of sealing and suppressing power. Ye Yun felt his soul power weakening rapidly under this force. He wanted to escape but couldn¡¯t. He could only watch as the mountain pressed down. With a thunderous crash, the mountain pinned Ye Yun to the ground. The virtual mountain shrank, solidifying into a person-sized stone stele with the word ¡°Suppress¡± carved on it, trapping Ye Yun beneath it. His face pale, his mouth bleeding, his aura weak. ¡°Damn you, who are you? Why do you know the supreme arts of the Heavenly Ancient Demon n?¡± Ye Yun rasped. Yang Chen paused, intrigued. The Heavenly Ancient Demon n? This Void Refinement soul must know something. But no matter, once Yan Jiu devours him, he could extract all this information. Yang Chen intensified the suppression, silencing Ye Yun¡¯s hoarse, grating shouts. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan approached, her eyes wide with shock. Ye Yun had shown Late-stage Nascent Soul power, yet Brother Chen had subdued him in one move. That demonic shadow was overwhelmingly powerful. She had thought herself closer to Brother Chen¡¯s level upon reaching Nascent Soul, but his strength far surpassed hers, able to easily suppress Late-stage Nascent Soul. ¡°Yuyan!¡± Yang Chen embraced her, speaking softly. ¡°Yun¡¯er is in a bad state. I¡¯ll keep him suppressed to erase his murderous aura. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll question him.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll follow your lead, Brother Chen,¡± Leng Yuyan agreed, her eyes sad as she looked at the suppressed Ye Yun. His behavior had proven one thing: her Yun¡¯er might really have been possessed. Only Brother Chen¡¯s embrace gave her sce now. Yang Chen broke the formation, revealing the starry sky, then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to rest, Yuyan. There¡¯s still time before dawn. We¡¯ve been cultivating without rest.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Leng Yuyan nestled into his arms as they returned to the room. Shortly after, suppressed sounds emanated again. Damn it, Yang Chen, you bastard! You truly deserve death! Ye Yun raged silently, unable to speak due to the intensified suppression. All he could do was curse Yang Chen in his mind. But it was to no avail. Curse that wretched bastard! I cannot ept this, I utterly refuse! Yang Chen, I must end your life! I must kill you, without fail! Though unable to speak, Ye Yun¡¯s hearing was extremely acute. No matter how faint the sound, he could discern it with crystal rity. His heart brimmed with fury, yet anguish rendered him speechless. Atst, rage overwhelmed him, a bitterness welled in his throat, and he retched violently, spewing forth a mouthful of fresh blood. The force of his emotions left him lightheaded, slipping into unconsciousness. *** [Ding! Host has deeply humiliated Ye Yun, seizing 800 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 800 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile as he nced out the window. 800 VPs¡ªit seemed Ye Yun was truly doomed. After all, the same actions earlier had rewarded him 2000 points. The next day, as Yang Chen woke, many people arrived at Mingyue Peak, including the Qingling Sect Master and several Nascent Soul elders. Upon seeing Yang Chen, they immediately bowed and greeted him. ¡°Greetings, Holy Son!¡± Yang Chen waved his hand and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± The Qingling Sect Master held several image stones. ¡°Holy Son, please take a look!¡± He infused true qi into the image stones, projecting a series of images. ¡°Ye Yun ughtered dozens of fellow disciples! After each kill, he refined their blood into pills, rapidly increasing his power! And he often referred to himself as the Venerable Cangchen!¡± Yang Chen had praised Yan Jiu¡¯s skills the night before, and they were indeed impressive. The images on the stones were very clear, and Ye Yun¡¯s voice was clearly audible. ¡°Holy Son, the mysterious soul you¡¯ve been searching for is Ye Yun! This Venerable Cangchen has possessed him!¡± the Qingling Sect Master said gravely. Watching the clear images and hearing Ye Yun call himself the Venerable Cangchen, Leng Yuyan¡¯s face turned deathly pale. It was exactly as she had feared¡ªYun¡¯er had indeed been possessed! ¡°Yuyan!¡± Yang Chenforted her softly. ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad.¡± ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m fine,¡± Leng Yuyan replied bitterly, looking at the suppressed Ye Yun with growing murderous intent. Though a soul possession could merge with the host¡¯s memories and emotions, Yun¡¯er was no longer Yun¡¯er. Her nephew had been killed by this Venerable Cangchen. She felt guilty, having failed to protect her sister¡¯s only bloodline. ¡°Brother Chen, what do you n to do with him?¡± Leng Yuyan asked. Yang Chen thought for a moment and said with difficulty, ¡°Since Yun¡¯er has been possessed, then I ¡­¡± ¡°I understand, Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan said calmly. ¡°If Yun¡¯er has been possessed, then this Ye Yun is no longer Yun¡¯er. Don¡¯t worry about my feelings.¡± Chapter 62 Chapter 62 ¡°Yuyan, I¡¯m d you understand,¡± Yang Chen said, hugging her. ¡°This Venerable Cangchen, you saw what Yun¡¯er looked likest night¡ªhis body was filled with bloodthirsty, ferocious qi, like a hellish death god! Moreover, his cultivation path requires ughtering other cultivators and refining them into blood pills. He has only recovered to the Sixth stage of Foundation Establishment realm but can already wield the power of Late-stage Nascent Soul! His true soul must be beyond the Soul Transformation realm! If left unchecked, the entire Qingling Sect would be his blood feast as he regains his strength.¡± Upon hearing this, the Qingling Sect Master and several elders trembled in fear. ¡®Ye Yun¡¯ had disyed Late-stage Nascent Soul power the previous night¡ªsomething the Qingling Sect couldn¡¯t withstand. If this person who refined cultivators into blood pills was released, the Qingling Sect would be annihted. ¡°Holy Son, you¡¯re right!¡± the Qingling Sect Master said urgently. ¡°Though the body is still Ye Yun¡¯s, his soul is now the Venerable Cangchen¡¯s! If we don¡¯t eliminate him now, he will be a great threat to the Qingling Sect and the entire Northern Spiritual Realm!¡± At this moment, Ye Yun, who had been suppressed, woke up and overheard the Sect Master¡¯s words. The suppressive force had weakened slightly, allowing him to speak. ¡°Aunt!¡± Ye Yun called out urgently. Everyone turned to look at him. ¡°Aunt, I¡¯m really Yun¡¯er! I haven¡¯t been possessed! Don¡¯t listen to their nonsense! When I was five, my mother entrusted me to you! When I was eight, you took me to the Liyang Kingdom to pay respects to my parents! When I was twelve, you fought for spiritual herbs to improve my constitution and were seriously injured! Aunt, I am really Yun¡¯er! These people are Yang Chen¡¯sckeys! This is all Yang Chen¡¯s scheme to get rid of me and to conquer you!¡± Ye Yun shouted anxiously. Despite being a Void Refinement cultivator, he was panicking. He hadn¡¯t expected Yang Chen to be so strong. Even though he was a reincarnated Void Refinement cultivator who could wield the power of Late-stage Nascent Soul realm, he had been subdued by Yang Chen in one move! This bastard had Primordial Fire and terrifying demonic powers¡ªhe could indeed destroy Ye Yun¡¯s soul! No, I can¡¯t die! I absolutely can¡¯t die! Ye Yun looked at Leng Yuyan with innocent, pleading eyes, hoping to move her. However, his words only triggered Leng Yuyan¡¯s memories and anger. Her only blood rtive had been possessed and killed by this Venerable Cangchen. ¡°Shut up! You¡¯re not my Yun¡¯er! You killed him!¡± Leng Yuyan shouted, her voice filled with murderous intent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ye Yun was stunned. ¡°Aunt! You don¡¯t believe me? Why? Why don¡¯t you believe me? Why do you believe that bastard Yang Chen over me? I- I¡¯m the one who loves you the most!¡± Ye Yun¡¯s face turned green as he rasped angrily. His beloved aunt didn¡¯t believe him and even had murderous intent towards him. Dammit! His anger surged uncontrobly. But this deration of love shocked everyone present except Yang Chen, whose expression remained unchanged. The Qingling Sect Master and elders looked horrified, especially Leng Yuyan, who felt a chill run down her spine. This Venerable Cangchen not only possessed her nephew but also wanted to possess her. Despicable! Disgusting! What a pervert! Leng Yuyan¡¯s face turned icy as she drew her spiritual sword, her body radiating killing intent. ¡°I will kill you and avenge Yun¡¯er!¡± Leng Yuyan swung her sword but stopped. ¡°Brother Chen, I can¡¯t do it. Please, kill him for me!¡± ¡°Yuyan!¡± Yang Chen held the tearful Leng Yuyan, gently stroking her back to soothe her grief. The Qingling Sect Master and elders tactfully left the courtyard. ¡°Damn it! Aunt, why are you doing this to me? Yang Chen, don¡¯t touch my aunt!¡± Ye Yun cursed, his eyes bloodshot as Leng Yuyan coldly nced at him before leaving the courtyard. [Ding! Leng Yuyan¡¯s killing intent towards Ye Yun has caused him to have mental breakdown. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 1000 VPs!] 1000 VPs? Yun¡¯er was done. It was time to send him off. In the courtyard, only Yang Chen and Ye Yun remained. ¡°Yang Chen, who the hell are you? What do you want?¡± Ye Yun cursed, now feeling a bit panicked. Despite Yang Chen¡¯s smile, Ye Yun sensed a palpable killing intent and deathly aura. Though Yang Chen was only at the Nascent Soul realm, he instilled fear in Ye Yun, who had been reincarnated and aspired to surpass his past cultivation realm to avenge his enemies. He couldn¡¯t die here! ¡°Yang Chen, if you spare me, I can give you a method and divine powers to reach the Void Refinement realm, along with numerous formations and there¡¯s also the Path of an Asura!¡± Ye Yun offered. Yang Chen chuckled. ¡°So, you admit that you possessed his body?¡± ¡°Hmph, so what if I admit it?¡± Alone with Yang Chen, Ye Yun stopped pretending. ¡°I was a Void Refinement cultivator! Killing me isn¡¯t that easy! If you let me go, I¡¯ll tell you everything I know. A Void Refinement cultivator¡¯s knowledge is invaluable!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen smiled, squatting down to pat Ye Yun¡¯s head. ¡°Yun¡¯er, your aunt asked if you enjoyed listeningst night?¡± ¡°Ah! Bastard!¡± Ye Yun roared in rage, Yang Chen¡¯s words hitting a nerve. This damned bastard had been deliberate! ¡°Yun¡¯er, I quite like this ferocious look of yours,¡± Yang Chen said, then added, ¡°Let me introduce you to a good friend.¡± Yang Chen waved, and Yan Jiu, d in a ck robe, appeared beside him, his face full of excitement. ¡°Master!¡± Yan Jiu greeted eagerly, thrilled that Yang Chen had decided to kill Ye Yun. ¡°A good friend?¡± Ye Yun, calming down, looked at Yan Jiu with confusion. ¡°Yun¡¯er, you were a Void Refinement cultivator in your past life. You must have heard of the Soul Cult?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°The Soul Cult?¡± Ye Yun froze, then looked at Yan Jiu, who shed a toothy grin, with terror on his face. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 ¡°You, you¡¯re actually members of the Soul Cult! Yang, Yang Chen, I was wrong! Spare me! I¡¯m willing to submit to you, to acknowledge you as my master! Please, let me go! Spare me! I¡¯ll yield my aunt to you!¡± Ye Yun hurriedly pleaded, his voice filled with terror. He knew exactly what the Soul Cult represented¡ªthey were the mortal enemies of soul entities like himself. They could not only kill him but also devour his soul piece by piece, a death more excruciating than anything imaginable. No wonder. No wonder his soul clone had returned with a sense of dreadst time. It had encountered a Soul Cult cultivator! However, Yan Jiu let out a creepyugh, afraid that Yang Chen might agree to Ye Yun¡¯s pleas. He immediately transformed into a ck mist, enveloping Ye Yun. ¡°No! Yang Chen, I¡¯m really willing to serve you! Spare my life, please, ahhh!¡± ¡°Someone like you thinks you can submit to my master? Dream on! You¡¯re just my delicious meal!¡± Gah! Gah! Terrifying sounds echoed from the ck mist. Yang Chen did not interfere; Ye Yun was destined to die. Submitting to him was out of the question¡ªwhat use could Ye Yun or the so-called Venerable Cangchen be to him? Yan Jiu¡¯s feeding sounds were horrifying, worse than nails on a chalkboard. Yang Chen set up a soundproof formation to muffle the noise. Half an hourter, the ck mist gradually reformed into Yan Jiu¡¯s shape. ¡°So slow?¡± Yang Chen frowned. ¡°Hehe, master,st time it was just a soul clone. This time, it¡¯s an entire soul body from the Void Refinement Realm! I need months to fully digest and absorb his soul power. Consuming this soul should elevate me to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, possibly even giving me a chance to reach the Soul Transformation realm!¡± Yan Jiu¡¯s face was full of joy, but he quickly fawned over Yang Chen. ¡°This will allow me to serve you even better in the future!¡± ¡°Good,¡± Yang Chen nodded, remembering Ye Yun¡¯s mention of the ancient demon. ¡°While you digest his memories, pay attention to any information about the Heavenly Ancient Demon n. Compile it and report to me.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yan Jiu bowed before dissolving into a ck mist and vanishing. Even with the potential to reach the Void Refinement stage, Yang Chen wasn¡¯t worried. Yan Jiu could never refine the Soul Attaching Mother Larva within the Soul Pce, ensuring he remained obedient. Yang Chen turned to the cold corpse of Ye Yun. Yan Jiu had devoured the soul, but since the Venerable Cangchen had fused with Ye Yun¡¯s original soul, Ye Yun¡¯s soul was also gone. Only the body remained. Soul Cult cultivators only cared for souls, not the physical body, which exined their emaciated appearance. [Ding! Host has killed the Son of Destiny, Ye Yun, earning a Viinous Gift Pack!] Yang Chen was startled. Time to open another Viin Gift Pack. ¡°Open it!¡± [Ding! Viinous Gift Pack opened sessfully. Host receives a Primordial Dragon Spine!] What? A Primordial Dragon Spine? Yang Chen was surprised. Dragons were legendary creatures. Though the cultivation world did have dragons, they were incredibly powerful. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, that was part of the Tianqian Realm, dragons were an apex race found in regions like the Ten Thousand Demonic Domains and Central Continent. Even in the entire Tianqian Realm, dragons were top-tier beings. However, the dragons in the Tianqian Realm, specifically the Red Dragon and White Dragon ns, were distant rtives of true dragons, possessing only a thin trace of the Primordial Dragon Bloodline. Despite this, these two dragon ns were among the most powerful, reigning supreme over countless demonic ns. A spine from a Primordial Dragon was immensely valuable. The spine, after all, was the most vital part of a dragon¡¯s body, containing its essence. Yang Chen examined the glowing, golden, dragon spine in his hand, hearing faint dragon roars. But he didn¡¯t rush to refine it, storing it away instead. He still had residual qi from the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower within him that needed to be fully integrated. Refining the dragon spine now might cause a conflict between the two potent energies, leading to more harm than good. Both were extreme yang in their essence. At this moment, Leng Yuyan entered. Seeing Ye Yun¡¯s corpse on the ground, she asked in surprise, ¡°Brother Chen, what happened to Yun¡¯er?¡± ¡°I dealt with the mysterious soul known as Venerable Cangchen. However, since Yun¡¯er¡¯s soul had been possessed and fused, he couldn¡¯t be resurrected. I could only preserve his body,¡± Yang Chen exined. Leng Yuyan¡¯s eyes filled with gratitude. ¡°Thank you, Brother Chen.¡± ¡°Silly girl, why thank me?¡± Yang Chen walked over and embraced her, feeling the warmth and softness of her body. His lips curled into a smile. Although Ye Yun, the Son of Destiny, had been exhausted of his value and eliminated, Yang Chen had no intention of discarding Leng Yuyan. He prided himself on his high moral standards and wasn¡¯t one to abandon someone after using them. Besides, Leng Yuyan was exceptionally beautiful, and with the enhancement from the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, her potential had significantly increased. She could be a valuable asset in the future. After a moment, Leng Yuyan thought of Ye Yun and walked over to his body, gently stroking his face with a sad expression. Tears slid down her cheeks.@@novelbin@@ ¡°Brother Chen, I want to bury Yun¡¯er¡¯s body in the Liyang Kingdom, beside my sister. Will you apany me?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± Yang Chen readily agreed. He nned to visit the Liyang Kingdom anyway. As a nation that had been aligned with the Xuantian Sect for thousands of years, it was appropriate for him, as the Holy Son, to visit and foster ties with the Liyang royal family. Yang Chen helped Leng Yuyan up. ¡°Yuyan, don¡¯t be sad. Yun¡¯er may be gone, but we can have our own child.¡± Leng Yuyan nestled into his embrace, murmuring, ¡°Have our own child?¡± A blush spread across her fair cheeks. The thought of having a child with Brother Chen filled her with joy. There was no greater expression of a woman¡¯s love for a man than bearing his child. Hugging Yang Chen tightly, Leng Yuyan felt that though Yun¡¯er was gone, she had Brother Chen, who meant everything to her now. After spending seven more days in the Qingling Sect to observe the traditional mourning period for Ye Yun, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan set off for the Liyang Kingdom. ording to Leng Yuyan, Ye Yun¡¯s parents were buried in Lei Du City, the capital of the Liyang Kingdom, a major hub of cultivation. Though Liyang was subordinate to the Xuantian Sect, it was powerful in its own right, with several Nascent Soul cultivators ruling over a vast territory. Even the Qingling Sect, with its Nascent Soul cultivators, dared not provoke Liyang lightly. Lie Du city, with a poption of millions, seamlessly blended the mundane with the immortal qi, creating a unique tapestry of life. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 After burying Ye Yun, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan decided to explore the bustling capital, enjoying its worldly charms. Perhaps it was because Yang Chen had casually mentioned having a child, but Leng Yuyan brought it up every night for seven days. Yang Chen did his best to meet her wishes. On their stroll through Lie Du city, Leng Yuyan¡¯s radiant beauty attracted many admiring nces. Her presence in an elegant pce dress, like an ethereal fairy descending to the mortal world, drew much attention. After enduring several rounds of harassment from male cultivators, she donned a veil to conceal her stunning face. Outside the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Brother Chen, why are we here?¡± Leng Yuyan asked, puzzled. ¡°The State Preceptor of Liyang is an Inner Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect. Since bing the Holy Son, I¡¯ve been focused on cultivation within the sect and haven¡¯t had the chance to visit our allies. Liyang has been loyal to the Xuantian Sect for tens of thousands of years, with each State Preceptor hailing from our sect. Since we¡¯re here, it¡¯s only proper I pay a visit.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Leng Yuyan nodded. A middle-aged man hurried out of the mansion, bowing deeply before Yang Chen. ¡°Inner Sect Elder Xu Hui greets the Holy Son!¡± As Xu Hui prepared to kneel, Yang Chen stopped him with a wave. ¡°No need for formalities, Elder Xu.¡± Xu Hui, the State Preceptor of Liyang, was an Inner Sect Elder of the Xuantian Sect, though only at the Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm, cing him lower in the inner sect ranks. Hence, he had been assigned to Liyang, far from the sect¡¯s cultivation haven. Xu Hui appeared flustered at the unexpected visit from the Holy Son, unprepared for the honor. ¡°Is something wrong, Elder Xu? Is the Holy Son not wee here?¡± Yang Chen inquired upon noticing his unease. Xu Hui quickly responded, ¡°No, Your Highness! It¡¯s just that there are personal matters within the mansion currently, that I¡¯m afraid might disturb you.¡± ¡°Never mind that,¡± Yang Chen said, dismissing his concern. ¡°The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion are also part of the Xuantian Sect. It would be a pity not to meet them.¡± ¡°Yes, Your Highness,¡± Xu Hui replied, leading them inside. The mansion was lively, with a young man in ck standing on the training ground. His robe, embroidered with dragon patterns, signaled his royal lineage. In the training ground, a young man in ck stood with his hands behind his back. The dragon patterns on his robe marked his royal lineage. ¡°Is this the ce you call a hub of geniuses?¡± he sneered. ¡°Not a single one of you can withstand even ten of my moves. What a bunch of weaklings! The Xuantian Sect is overrated.¡± The youth¡¯s cold gaze swept over the defeated disciples below the stage, their mouths stained with blood, their eyes full of fury. ¡°Li Hao, you go too far!¡± a tall, elegant female disciple with a strikingly beautiful appearance shouted coldly. ¡°The Xuantian Sect is not for a mere prince of Liyang to insult!¡± ¡°Hmph! So what if it¡¯s the Xuantian Sect? If your disciples are this weak, you¡¯re nothing to fear,¡± Li Hao retorted disdainfully. However, when he nced at the beautiful female disciple, his eyes shed with a fervent desire. ¡°Qingxuan, ording to our agreement, if I defeat you and your fellow disciples, you must honor our betrothal and be my servant!¡± ¡°You bastard! That will never happen!¡± Xu Qingxuan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with icy determination. She would rather die than marry this scoundrel, let alone serve him as a ve! At that moment, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan arrived at the training ground. [Ding! New Son of Destiny detected: Li Hao!] [Traits: Awakened ancestral bloodline of the Li n, gained bloodline inheritance, possesses intense desire to dominate his betrothed Xu Qingxuan and her Ice Phoenix bloodline, harbors strong protective instincts towards his mother, Zhao Shirou.] [Female leads rted to Son of Destiny Li Hao: Xu Qingxuan (betrothed), Zhao Shirou (mother).] [Current Providence Luck: 25,000 points!] A notification rang out, startling Yang Chen. A new Son of Destiny had appeared so quickly. Ancestral bloodline awakening and inheritance¡ªsuch a typical plot. This time, though, the addition of a mother was a novel twist. *** ¡°Holy Son, I have sinned! This Li Hao is the Ninth Prince of the Liyang Kingdom! He was once engaged to my daughter, but when he was found to be unable to cultivate, my daughter wanted to break off the engagement ever since. Recently, for some unknown reason, not only can Li Hao cultivate, but his speed has also skyrocketed! Today, he hase to fulfill the engagement. If he defeats the younger generation of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion, my daughter will have to honor the engagement. The juniors of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion are no match for him. My daughter being with him is a minor matter, but losing the face of our Xuantian Sect is a major issue. I beg for forgiveness, Holy Son!¡± Xu Hui quickly exined from the side. ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen nodded. It looks like another underdog protagonist rising from nothing. Interesting, interesting. At this moment. An injured disciple of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion charged onto the battle stage and attacked Li Hao again. ¡°Li Hao, stop your arrogant boasts! I will fight you again!¡± ¡°Hmph, courting death!¡± Li Hao¡¯s eyes gleamed with killing intent. He had awakened the bloodline of his ancestors. ording to the inherited memories, it was a very powerful imperial bloodline. His ancestors were also rulers of an empire. However, that empire ruled over millions of miles, with countless cultivators at the Soul Transformation and Void Refinement Realms. Far surpassing Liyang Kingdom. Even far surpassing Xuantian Sect. Therefore, with such a bloodline and its inheritance, he didn¡¯t even put Xuantian Sect in his eyes. In the future, he would surely sweep through the Northern Spiritual Realm. Even the entire Tianqian Realm. Establishing a nation a hundred, a thousand times more powerful than Xuantian Sect. At that time, if Xuantian Sect submitted, they could continue to exist. If not, they would be wiped out from the Northern Spiritual Realm. Those who follow him will prosper, those who oppose him will perish! He aimed to be the eternal emperor! The first emperor of the Great Li Dynasty! With this goal and vision. Li Hao¡¯s character had be extremely domineering and arrogant. Even though the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion was under Xuantian Sect. He would still kill to make an example. To establish the might of the Li Emperor! ¡°Die!¡± Li Hao roared angrily. He struck toward the head of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion disciple. This strike, full of killing intent, was enough to take the opponent¡¯s life. The disciple¡¯s pupils widened in shock. He didn¡¯t expect Li Hao to dare to kill him! He was a disciple of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion! Part of Xuantian Sect! ¡°Li Hao, how dare you!?¡± Xu Qingxuan shouted, ready to intervene.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om But with her cultivation at the Sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment, she couldn¡¯t stop Li Hao in time. Just then. A blue light shield suddenly appeared in front of the disciple. Bang! Li Hao¡¯s murderous strike hit the shield and was forced back several steps. ¡°Who dares? Are you all from the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion, from Xuantian Sect, cowards? You dare interfere in our fight?¡± Li Hao shouted in a deep voice. To him, this was a disy of royal authority. As a ruler, even when weak, one should not be inferior to anyone. This was a principle engraved in his mind when he awakened his bloodline inheritance. He believed it was the ultimate truth. ¡°Li Hao, how dare you!¡± Xu Hui shouted angrily. He had seen the Holy Son save that disciple just now. Li Hao dared to insult the Holy Son. Even as a prince, he couldn¡¯t bear such a crime. Xu Hui raised his hand to suppress Li Hao. But was stopped by Yang Chen. He wanted to have some fun with this arrogant destined one. ¡°I was the one who intervened!¡± Yang Chen walked toward the stage. Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Dressed in white, he looked elegant and otherworldly. His handsome face exuded a harmonious and vibrant aura. Like an immortal descending to the mortal realm. Many disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion didn¡¯t recognize him. Given their status, they were not qualified to see the portrait of the Holy Son. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment. This person was exceptionally handsome and extraordinary. Who was he,ing with her father? Which family in Lie Du city did he belong to? Why had she never seen him before? Yang Chen stepped onto the stage. He looked at Li Hao calmly. His eyes showed indifference and a hint of yfulness.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om And some mockery. Li Hao hated being looked at like this. He was a ruler. How could he be belittled!? ¡°Courting death!¡± Li Hao¡¯s heart turned vicious, and he attacked again. Today, at the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion, he would defeat all the younger generation! Establishing his name as the top genius of Liyang! Xu Qingxuan was his fianc¨¦e. His lifelong dream. As a ruler, he couldn¡¯t have regrets! Moreover, Xu Qingxuan carried the Ice Phoenix bloodline. His inherited bloodline mainly cultivated the Golden Dragon Fortune Qi. The Golden Dragon Fortune Qi Dragon was extremely strong and masculine. If he could dual cultivate with an Ice Phoenix bloodline cultivator. Dragon and phoenix wouldbine. The benefits would be immense. So, Xu Qingxuan was his destined future empress. Today, he had to make Xu Qingxuan honor the engagement. Facing Yang Chen, Li Hao seemed arrogant but didn¡¯t underestimate him. After all, the opponent had pushed him back just now. Li Hao used his full strength. Two golden dragons coiled around him. A dragon roar echoed through the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Li Emperor Divine Palm!¡± Li Hao shouted. This wasn¡¯t a royal secret technique. It was a divine power from his bloodline inheritance. Twin dragons by his side! Simply invincible! His strongest trump card! However, before his dragon-patterned palm could touch Yang Chen. It was blocked by a light shield. Then, Yang Chen raised his palm slightly, gently turning it over. A true qi palm print descended from the sky. Bang! The true qi palm print, seemingly weighing ten thousand pounds, smashed Li Hao to the ground. He knelt on one knee before Yang Chen. Blood spurted from his mouth. ¡°So strong!¡± ¡°One move, and Li Hao is defeated!¡± ¡°Hmph, he dares to mock our Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°Just because he has a higher cultivation at the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!¡± ¡°Facing our senior brothers from Xuantian Sect, any prince must kneel!¡± The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion regained their confidence, their faces excited. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes sparkled. This senior brother was so strong. He defeated Li Hao with one move! Was he a true disciple of Xuantian Sect? ¡°You! How is this possible! Damn it!¡± Li Hao couldn¡¯t believe it. The opponent defeated him with one move! Damn it. He carried the imperial bloodline! Destined to be an emperor! To gain eternal fame! How could he kneel before someone now!? Li Hao struggled with all his might to get up. But couldn¡¯t move an inch. The opponent didn¡¯t even attack, just the pressure was enough to keep him kneeling! He could only kneel! Damn it! ¡°Who, who are you? You better release me! Liyang Kingdom, after all, is my Liyang royal family¡¯s domain!¡± Li Hao roared. ¡°Liyang royal family¡¯s domain? Hmph!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s tone turned cold. Was this Li Hao¡¯s own thought, or the royal family¡¯s? Either way, it didn¡¯t matter. ¡°If my Xuantian Sect wished, we could rece you at any time! Not just you, even your father would have to kneel here!¡± The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion were thrilled when they heard these words. As expected of a senior brother from Xuantian Sect. So domineering! Not even the King of the Liyang Kingdom was in his eyes! Xu Hui frowned. He had a good rtionship with the King of Liyang. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be an engagement. But he could see, the Holy Son was genuinely angry! This Li Hao, really didn¡¯t know his limits! Had being a prince made him fearless? If the Holy Son said a word, none of the Liyang royal family would survive! All would die! Xu Hui wanted to reveal Yang Chen¡¯s identity to warn Li Hao. But didn¡¯t dare without the Holy Son¡¯s permission. If he angered the Holy Son. He might be stuck in Liyang Kingdom for life. [Ding! The host has forced Li Hao to kneel, giving him a mental blow! Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. 500 points just like that? Haha, seems like this guy values his pride. In that case, let¡¯s have some fun. ¡°Li Hao, putting aside your insult to my Xuantian Sect! You just tried to kill my junior brother. Let¡¯s settle this first!¡± Yang Chen called the disciple over. The disciple approached and bowed. ¡°Senior brother!¡± ¡°No need for formalities!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression was gentle, like a spring breeze. Though it was fake. In the eyes of everyone, Xuantian Sect hadn¡¯t forgotten the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. They acknowledged the disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion as their own. Look, this senior brother not only stood up for the disciple but also called him junior brother! With just a look and a simple address Yang Chen won their hearts. Yang Chen brought the disciple in front of Li Hao and looked down at him. ¡°Li Hao, you tried to kill my junior brother, an unforgivable crime! But, considering you¡¯re a prince of Liyang! Kneel and apologize to my junior brother with three kowtows, and we¡¯ll call it even!¡± Chapter 66 Chapter 66 ¡°What, what?¡± Li Hao was stunned. Kneel down and kowtow three times as an apology? Is this lunatic out of his mind? Forcing him to kneel was already a severe humiliation! And now, he¡¯s supposed to kowtow three times to that useless member of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion? Impossible! ¡°No way!¡± Li Hao shouted in anger: ¡°I am the Ninth Prince of Liyang! In the entire kingdom, only my father and mother can make me kneel! How dare you, Xuantian Sect, bully me like this! Forcing a prince to kneel and kowtow, is this how you show your disregard for the royal family?¡± Li Hao¡¯s face turned livid, veins bulging on his forehead. He struggled with all his might to stand up. But it was futile. Yang Chen¡¯s mere presence was enough to keep him on his knees. ¡°Bully you?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a sneer. ¡°You insulted my Xuantian Sect and tried to kill my junior brother. Who¡¯s really the bully here? So what if you¡¯re the Ninth Prince of Liyang? In the world of cultivation, power is what matters. Royalty means nothing! If you don¡¯t kowtow and apologize today, you will die!¡± As Yang Chen spoke, a murderous aura filled the air. Li Hao felt a chill down his spine.@@novelbin@@ Instinctively, he knew this man was serious about killing him. But to kowtow and apologize? He could never do it. He was born to be an emperor! To be forced to kneel was already the ultimate humiliation! Kowtowing would break his spirit! And with his fianc¨¦e, Xu Qingxuan, watching him. Li Hao nced towards the tform. His eyes met Xu Qingxuan¡¯s, who looked at him with a mix of pity, disdain, and schadenfreude. His heart filled with rage and despair. Damn it! In Qingxuan¡¯s eyes, he must be the invincible conqueror! Now she saw him kneeling in humiliation! Li Hao¡¯s fury surged. He swore that once he grew stronger, he would kill this bastard. He would dismember him and tear him apart! ¡°It seems you don¡¯t want to apologize to my junior brother.¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice was cold as he raised his hand. But he didn¡¯t actually intend to kill Li Hao. After all, this guy had over 20,000 Providence Luck points. At that moment, a white-robed figure appeared before Yang Chen. He helped Li Hao up, shielding him. With a bow to Yang Chen, he said: ¡°Friend, please show some restraint! My prince may have spoken out of turn, but I ask you to forgive him for the sake of the Liyang royal family! I will report this to His Majesty and ensure the Ninth Prince is punished!¡± Yang Chen was not surprised by the old man¡¯s appearance. Li Hao had shown great talent, reaching the Seventh stage of Foundation Establishment realm in just three years. The Liyang royal family wasn¡¯t foolish. They would certainly send a master to protect him from harm. However, Yang Chen didn¡¯t like what the old man said. Show restraint? ¡°Are you saying I have no right to punish him? I should leave him to the King of Liyang?¡± Yang Chen said lightly. The old man hesitated, then spoke solemnly: ¡°That¡¯s one way to interpret it. The Ninth Prince is, after all, the son of the King of Liyang! It wouldn¡¯t be wise for your Xuantian Sect to kill a prince so rashly! After all, this is Liyang territory!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen looked at him calmly. Liyang had indeed grown more assertive. He had heard from the elders that the current King of Liyang was very ambitious. Although still nominally loyal to the Xuantian Sect, he secretly maintained close ties with the Wind Thunder Sect. He had even married a female cultivator from the Wind Thunder Sect. It seemed he intended to use the Wind Thunder Sect to resist the Xuantian Sect. Heh. If that¡¯s the case, then this trip wasn¡¯t in vain. It was a good opportunity to warn the Liyang royal family. To show them that the Xuantian Sect could make or break their dynasty! Besides, Li Hao¡¯s protector was just an old man. Yang Chen saw no reason to let him live. ¡°If you think it¡¯s unwise, then you can die in his ce!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice. ¡°What, what?¡± The old man was stunned. Anger surged through him. ¡°Such insolence! Young fool, do you think I¡¯m afraid of you? If it weren¡¯t for the Xuantian Sect, I¡¯d kill you right now! I¡ª¡± But before he could finish his sentence, Yang Chen¡¯s fingers moved like a sword, shing a de of qi. The old man, a cultivator at the First stage of the Nascent Soul realm, might have been top-tier in Liyang, but against Yang Chen, he had no chance. sh! The de of qi sliced through his head. Then, the fierce sword qibined with the Green Lotus Heavenly me, reducing his body to ashes. Even his Nascent Soul couldn¡¯t escape, burnt to nothingness. With one move, Yang Chen had killed a First stage Nascent Soul cultivator! Yang Chen now had a clear understanding of his strength. Though his cultivation was at the Fifth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his realbat power was at least at the Seventh stage! If he used the 36 Forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings, hisbat power would rise even higher! In Liyang, no one could be his match! The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion were stunned by Yang Chen¡¯s decisive killing of Li Hao¡¯s protector. However, most were in awe of Yang Chen¡¯s dominance. After all, that was a royal protector. Their senior brother had killed him without hesitation. What dominance! Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled. Seeing the lingering green mes, a thoughtful look crossed her face. Then, she froze. A suspicion formed in her mind. Meanwhile, her father, Xu Hui, was horrified. As the State Preceptor, he knew that the old man was a Nascent Soul cultivator! Yet he couldn¡¯t withstand one strike from the Holy Son! Turned to ashes instantly! To kill a First stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator so easily, even a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn¡¯t do it! This must be the power of a High-stage Nascent Soul realm! The Holy Son was already this terrifying! No wonder friends from the sect said the Holy Son was destined for greatness! Within a century, he would take over as sect leader! They advised him to seize any chance to align with the Holy Son. Thinking of this, Xu Hui nced at his daughter. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 She was gazing at the Holy Son with admiration. Xu Hui had a bold idea. Since Li Hao had offended the Holy Son, he would never agree to their marriage. But if his daughter could serve the Holy Son, their future would be limitless. He could even return to the sect, leaving Liyang behind. He had confidence in his daughter. After all, Qingxuan was the most beautiful woman of her generation in Liyang. She also inherited her mother¡¯s Ice Phoenix bloodline. Serving the Holy Son would surely lead to achievements far beyond his own. ¡°Elder Wei!¡± Seeing his protector in in one strike, Li Hao was furious. Elder Wei was a Nascent Soul protector assigned by his father. Yet he couldn¡¯t withstand even one strike. Who was this guy? A Xuantian Sect elder? [Ding! The host has killed Li Hao¡¯s protector, seizing 1000 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 1000 VPs!] Hmm? Not bad. Yang Chen was very satisfied. It seemed this protector was very important to Li Hao! But today¡¯s harvest wasn¡¯t over yet! ¡°Li Hao, I¡¯ll give you onest chance! Kowtow and apologize to my junior brother! Or join your protector in death!¡± Yang Chen said coldly, looking down at him like an ant. Compared to Yang Chen, Li Hao indeed was an ant. If it weren¡¯t for the Providence Luck points, Yang Chen would have crushed him already. Li Hao was furious. This bastard had killed his protector and still wouldn¡¯t let him go.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Damn it! Li Hao¡¯s heart was filled with unwillingness. But Elder Wei¡¯s death had urred right before his eyes. A royal Nascent Soul realm cultivator, killed so effortlessly. He, a prince, meant nothing to his opponent. If he didn¡¯tply, he would die now! Then, all his awakened bloodline and inherited power would be wasted! Damn it. Why couldn¡¯t I awaken my power years earlier? If I had, I¡¯d be strong enough to kill this bastard now! Li Hao¡¯s heart bled. But to survive, to achieve his future ambitions, he had to endure this humiliation! He lowered his head, and before everyone, kowtowed three times to the disciple from the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. Bang! Bang! Bang! Each kowtow felt like a knife to his heart. Humiliation surged through him. He swore he would avenge this disgrace! He would annihte the Xuantian Sect and make theirnd a barren wastnd! He would show them the wrath of an emperor! As he thought this, Li Hao couldn¡¯t help but look towards the tform. He saw Xu Qingxuan¡¯s gaze full of admiration. Of course, not for him who had just kowtowed. Li Hao felt a surge of frustration. Damn it! His fianc¨¦e, Xu Qingxuan, was looking at this bastard who forced him to kneel and kowtow with an admiring gaze! Ah! This gaze should belong to me! Damn it! ¡°Ugh!¡± Li Hao could no longer hold on. The anger consumed him. Blood surged in his throat. He spat blood and fainted on the spot. [Ding! The host has forced Li Hao to kowtow and apologize, causing damage to his mental state. The host has plundered 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] [Ding! The female lead, Xu Qingxuan has shown admiration for the host, and was seen by Li Hao. Li Hao is ovee with rage and has fainted. The host has plundered 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] *** Fainted? Looking at Li Hao, who had fainted after vomiting blood, Yang Chen was somewhat surprised. These ¡°protagonists¡± ¡­ each of them has a temper bigger than the other. They are easily angered to the point of vomiting blood and passing out. But on reflection, it makes sense. Every ¡°protagonist¡± in the novel is described as extremely arrogant. All opportunities and inheritances belong to them. All the beauties also belong to them. This Li Hao had awakened the Emperor¡¯s bloodline of his family¡¯s ancestors. His arrogance was understandable. But now, he was forced by me to kneel and kowtow in public. And that too in front of his fianc¨¦e. Tsk tsk. This is definitely a significant blow. 2000 VPs already indicate Li Hao¡¯s humiliation at this moment. However, this is just the beginning. ¡°Junior Brother, are you satisfied with his apology?¡± Yang Chen turned to look at the disciple of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion nearby. The other party immediately sped his hands and said: ¡°Satisfied! Thank you, Senior Brother, for standing up for me!¡± ¡°You have raised the prestige of our Xuantian Sect! As long as you¡¯re satisfied. Our people from Xuantian Sect should not be bullied by others!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s smile was gentle,pletely different from his previous ruthlessness. Then, he kicked Li Hao¡¯s body, which was like a dead dog, in front of Elder Xu Hui. ¡°Elder Xu, you are an Inner Sect Elder responsible for guarding the Liyang Kingdom on behalf of the sect, but the Liyang royal family dares to belittle our Xuantian Sect. This is a severe dereliction of duty!¡± Upon hearing this, Xu Hui¡¯s body sank immediately. Is the Holy Son about to hold me ountable? ¡°Holy Son, I have failed in my duties. I acknowledge my guilt. Please punish me, Holy Son!¡± Xu Hui hurriedly knelt on one knee. ¡°Send Li Hao back to the Liyang Pce! I will stay in the Liyang Kingdom for a while!¡± Yang Chen did not overly me Xu Hui. The ruler of Liyang Kingdom is said to have reached the Mid Nascent Soul realm. And Elder Xu Hui of the Xuantian Sect was only at the Third stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It was naturally difficult for him to suppress the Liyang royal family. This is also a case of poor selection by the Xuantian Sect. Stepping down from the tform, Yang Chen came to Leng Yuyan¡¯s side. ¡°Yuyan, let¡¯s stay here for a while! I also need to handle some matters!¡± ¡°Okay, I will listen to you, Brother Chen!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s voice was gentle. Brother Chen was very domineering just now. Perhaps this is the true nature of Brother Chen, the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect. He treats me so well only because he likes me. At this time, Xu Hui brought his daughter Xu Qingxuan over. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 ¡°Qingxuan, the Holy Son is new here and unfamiliar with the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion! Hurry and find a top-quality courtyard for the Holy Son!¡± ¡°Holy Son, if you have any requests, you can instruct my little girl!¡± ¡°Thank you, Junior Sister Xu!¡± Yang Chen nodded slightly. Although Leng Yuyan was right beside him, he did not refuse. After all, this Xu Qingxuan was Li Hao¡¯s heroine and his fianc¨¦e. Surely, he could reap a lot of VPs from her. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, but her beautiful eyes were always on Yang Chen. Her heart was pounding. Her guess was correct. This person in front of her was indeed the Holy Son! Recently, she had heard many legends about the Holy Son. Defeating the Holy Son of the Blood de Sect with one move! Dominating the younger generation! Obtaining the Green Lotus Heavenly me! Such a character was now in front of her! ¡°Holy Son, please follow me!¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s voice was somewhat flustered. Leading the way ahead, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan followed her into the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. After they left. The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion exploded in excitement. ¡°It¡¯s the Holy Son!¡± ¡°The Holy Son hase to our State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion!¡± ¡°Just now, the Holy Son called me Junior Brother!¡± ¡°What a pity. I thought Senior Sister Xu didn¡¯t like Li Hao, and I had a chance. Now that the Holy Son is here, Senior Sister Xu will¡­¡± Liyang Pce. Tianyang Hall. Xu Hui walked in, carrying the unconscious Li Hao. ¡°Brother Xu!¡± The ruler of Liyang Kingdom was a steady middle-aged man. At this moment, seeing his son unconscious in Xu Hui¡¯s hands, his face immediately darkened. ¡°Isn¡¯t your State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion too domineering?¡± ¡°Hao¡¯er went to fulfill the agreement with Qingxuan. Winning or losing is a matter for the young generation! Isn¡¯t it excessive to treat my son like this?¡± The Liyang ruler¡¯s voice was heavy, filled with obvious anger. Hearing this, Xu Hui¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. So, Li Hao¡¯s provocation of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion was indeed tacitly approved by the Liyang ruler! As the elder guarding Liyang Kingdom, I have truly failed in my duties, as the Holy Son said! The Liyang royal family no longer respects the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion! Xu Hui handed Li Hao to a eunuch nearby and said indifferently: ¡°Li Hao provoked someone he shouldn¡¯t have! Surviving is already a great mercy! Moreover, the Nascent Soul protector arranged by your royal family has been killed!¡± ¡°What!?¡± The Liyang ruler was shocked. ¡°Who did it? Li Wei is an uncle from my Li n! No matter who killed a Nascent Soul practitioner from my royal family, they must pay the price!¡± ¡°Brother Xu, was it you?¡± The Liyang ruler¡¯s voice grew colder, his gaze sharp as if mes were rising. His cultivation was at the Fourth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, although only one level higher than Xu Hui, it was a difference between the Early and Mid stage. Therefore, his tone was quite forceful. ¡°Brother Li, you should endure Li Wei¡¯s death! Otherwise, your Liyang royal family might face annihtion!¡± Xu Hui¡¯s voice also grew colder. ¡°Annihtion?¡± The Liyang ruler¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Brother Xu, could it be that the one who killed my family¡¯s Nascent Soul practitioner is someone from your Xuantian Sect?¡± ¡°Indeed!¡± Xu Hui said coldly: ¡°Li Hao was audacious, and Li Wei was reckless! Leaving Li Hao alive is already a great mercy from the Holy Son! Brother Li, what you need to do now is not to think about revenge! But to figure out how to appease the anger of the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect?¡± The Liyang ruler¡¯s face turned grim. Although he ruled a country and had held a high position for hundreds of years. He had developed a kingly aura, but he was not a fool. The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, although from the younger generation, held a position much higher than those Inner Sect Elders. He was the future sessor of Xuantian Sect! Equivalent to the crown prince of Xuantian Sect! If some Inner Sect Elders were dissatisfied with the Liyang Kingdom, they would at most cause some minor troubles, but if it were the Holy Son, he could directly annihte the Li family. ¡°Brother Li, over the years, your Liyang royal family has be increasingly audacious! Now that the Holy Son is here, I hope you can restrain the royal family members! Otherwise, annihtion will be at your doorsteps! Farewell!¡± After speaking, Xu Hui left directly. The Liyang ruler¡¯s expression fluctuated. ¡°The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect hase! This is quite troublesome!¡± In the hall. Li Hao woke up. ¡°Father Emperor! Father, the Xuantian Sect is too much! They not only forced me to kneel but also killed Elder Wei!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± The Liyang ruler pped Li Hao directly. ¡°Do you know who you provoked? That is the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect! You¡¯ve caused the royal family to lose a Nascent Soul practitioner in vain!¡± ¡°The¡­ the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect?¡± Li Hao was stunned. Before he could react, the Liyang ruler ordered the guards: ¡°First, imprison the Ninth Prince in the Heavenly Prison! Without my order, do not release him!¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°Father, why?¡± Li Hao was bewildered. The other party killed Elder Wei and forced me to kneel. Even if it¡¯s the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, how can Father not seek revenge? Why imprison me? But the guards took him away directly. At this moment. A beautiful woman in pce attire walked slowly from behind the hall. Her graceful figure was adorned in a pale-yellow pce gown embroidered with a phoenix, exuding elegance and nobility. The pce-dressed woman¡¯s slender neck and a pair of phoenix eyes carried a hint of charm. ¡°Hao¡¯er is injured. Is it appropriate to imprison him in the Heavenly Prison?¡± Hearing the woman¡¯s soft voice from behind, the Liyang ruler turned around. ¡°Hao¡¯er provoked the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. If I don¡¯t impose some punishment, it won¡¯t be justifiable! Now the ancestor is about to break through, and no idents can happen! Consort Rou, are you feeling sorry for him?¡± The Liyang ruler¡¯s gaze lingered on the pce-dressed woman. His eyes were somewhat heated. ¡°Li Zhan, you better watch your eyes!¡± The woman coldly rebuked. Calling a ruler by his name, her tone was extremely impolite. The ruler of Liyang withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat dim, and said: ¡°You are Hao¡¯er¡¯s mother, concubine. As Hao¡¯er¡¯s father, can¡¯t I even look at you?¡± The woman¡¯s charming eyes showed a trace of disdain. ¡°Master had me act as Hao¡¯er¡¯s adoptive mother to protect him, to prevent the bloodline of the Li family ancestor in his body from being stolen! But don¡¯t you dare truly treat me as your concubine! Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!¡± The woman¡¯s voice was icy. A dangerous aura filled the Tianyang Hall. Li Zhan¡¯s brows furrowed immediately. ¡°You¡¯ve reached the Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm?¡± Chapter 69 Chapter 69 ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s good that you know! If you dare to be presumptuous again, even if you are the grandnephew of Master, I will kill you!¡± The woman snorted coldly and left the Tianyang Hall directly. In the Heavenly Prison. Li Hao was locked in a cell. ¡°Damn it! What about the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect? I have the bloodline of an emperor. In the future, I will definitely kill him to avenge this humiliation!¡± Li Hao, like a wounded beast, let out a low, resentful growl. Recalling the look of admiration in Qingxuan¡¯s eyes before he fainted. He felt even more ufortable. His fianc¨¦e had shown that look of admiration to someone else. It¡¯s infuriating just to think about it! No, I must be stronger quickly! Qingxuan can only be mine! She must not be anyone else¡¯s! Especially not that damn Holy Son of Xuantian Sect! At this moment, the guards outside knelt down in unison. ¡°Greetings, Consort Rou!¡± Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Hao¡¯s resentful face. He quickly stood up. Seeing the beautiful woman in pce attire walking slowly towards his cell, a tender smile shed in Li Hao¡¯s eyes. He couldn¡¯t help but call out: ¡°Mother!¡± His voice was sincere, with even a touch of choked emotion. Only when he saw his mother did Li Hao let down all his defenses. Like a simple child. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of gentleness. She walked to the cell door. Reaching out her jade hand, she gently stroked Li Hao¡¯s head, feeling a bit of heartache: ¡°Are your injuries serious? Mother brought you some healing pills!¡± As she spoke, she handed him a jade bottle. ¡°Thank you, Mother!¡± Li Hao opened the jade bottle and directly swallowed the pills. He trusted his motherpletely. ¡°Hao¡¯er, stay here for a few days. Mother will rescue youter!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Li Hao nodded, then added: ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry too much! I¡¯m fine here! You don¡¯t have a good rtionship with Father, so don¡¯t go begging him! In a few days, he will naturally release me!¡± Li Hao had known since he was a child that his mother lived alone in a pce, and his father hadn¡¯t visited her once in decades. He thought his mother and father had a bad rtionship. So he didn¡¯t want his mother to beg his father. For Li Hao, Xu Qingxuan, his fianc¨¦e, was his pursuit. And the mother who raised him was his only soft spot. ¡°Hao¡¯er is so good!¡± Zhao Shirou gently stroked Li Hao¡¯s face with her jade hand, her beautiful eyes full of love. After a few more words, Zhao Shirou left the heavenly prison. Over the years, she had always yed the role of Li Hao¡¯s mother. Although it was fake. But after decades together, she genuinely considered Li Hao as her own child. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t havee to see him. ¡°The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect hase to Liyang Kingdom! And has injured Hao¡¯er so badly! If you are so overbearing! Hmph, let me test the depths of your Xuantian Sect!¡± *** Although State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion was a residence, it upied an extremely vast area, with thousands of acres. Hundreds of small courtyards with varying sceneries were scattered within. Yang Chen chose to reside in a small courtyard with beautiful scenery and a quiet environment. ¡°Holy Son, you canmand me at any time if you need anything! My father told me to be at your beck and call at all times!¡± Xu Qingxuan stood beside Yang Chen, her tone respectful. But she showed no intention of leaving. Being able to be in close proximity to the Holy Son was an extremely rare opportunity~. She had to seize it. Her father had stayed in Liyang Kingdom for a full hundred years, unable to return back to Xuantian Sect. Naturally, she herself was also unwilling to spend her whole life in this Liyang Kingdom. She also wanted to go to the cultivation holynd of Xuantian Sect. Only the Holy Son before her could give her and her father this opportunity. Moreover, she believed in her own beauty. After all, she was the number one beauty of Liyang. Additionally, her talents were exceptional, and she had the Ice Phoenix bloodline within her body. That trash Li Hao could only dream of her fulfilling the marriage agreement. Xu Qingxuan nced at the woman with a great figure standing beside Yang Chen, Leng Yuyan, who addressed the Holy Son as ¡®Brother Chen¡¯. Was she the Holy Son¡¯s woman? At this moment, Leng Yuyan suddenly removed her veil. Instantly revealing an otherworldly beautiful face. Standing beside Yang Chen, she was like a celestial fairy descending to the mortal realm, enchantingly beautiful. ¡°Ah!¡± Xu Qingxuan let out an exmation. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yang Chen looked towards her. ¡°No, nothing! I just didn¡¯t expect this senior to be so beautiful!¡± Xu Qingxuan felt a bit ashamed of herself. In terms of just looks, she had no advantage. In fact, the other woman had even more feminine charm. She herself was too young. A smug smile curved on Leng Yuyan¡¯s lips. Taking off her veil was intentional, of course. This little girl had beenpletely ignoring her, eagerly currying favor with Brother Chen right in front of her. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, this is my wife, Leng Yuyan! Go and arrange a cultivation room for her!¡± ¡°Oh, okay!¡± Xu Qingxuan hurriedly left the room. ¡°Brother Chen, you truly live up to being the great Holy Son, did you see your junior sister¡¯s admiring gaze!¡± Leng Yuyan couldn¡¯t help but tease. Yang Chen had never heard her speak in this tone before. He found it quite amusing. He immediately pulled her into his embrace, letting his hands roam. ¡°What, are you jealous?¡± ¡°How dare I!¡± Leng Yuyan let out a coy retort. Her face flushed slightly, exuding an alluring charm. Yet her tone was full of pique. Yang Chen leaned close to her ear and said: ¡°That girl is too young, I don¡¯t like that type! I prefer your type!¡± ¡°Ah, you scoundrel!¡± Leng Yuyan knew what he meant. She couldn¡¯t help but lightly hit his chest. Her heart brimming with shyness.@@novelbin@@ Feeling the softness and warmth in his embrace, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel aroused. But at this moment, Yan Jiu¡¯s voice rang in his ear: ¡°Master, I have an important matter to report!¡± Yang Chen frowned deeply. Silently cursing Yan Jiu in his heart. He really knew how to pick his moments. ¡°Yuyan, I have some matters to attend to! Why don¡¯t you go rest first! There¡¯s still arge amount of icy yin qi from the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower within your body, use this time to refine it diligently!¡± ¡°Mmm!¡± Leng Yuyan nodded lightly. She did indeed n to enter closed-door cultivation. At least half of the icy yin qi from the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower remained in her body. From time to time, it would cause her body to feel freezing cold sensations. Brother Chen had been interrupted mid-passion several times because of this before. This kind of situation absolutely could not happen again in the future. Otherwise, Brother Chen would surely be dissatisfied with her. Especially now, with such a beautiful junior sister around. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go cultivate first! Brother Chen, call me anytime if you need anything!¡± ¡°Mmm, go ahead!¡± Leng Yuyan left the room. Yan Jiu¡¯s withered, emaciated figure appeared before Yang Chen. Kneeling on one knee on the ground. ¡°Suddenly sending me a voice transmission, does that mean there¡¯s an urgent matter?¡± Yang Chen frowned. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 ¡°Master, I just sensed a fluctuation of Soul Transformation power! It seems someone is trying to condense their Soul Transformation to break through to the Soul Transformation realm! But they didn¡¯t seed in one go! This aura came from the Imperial Pce of Liyang!¡± Yan Jiu¡¯s words took Yang Chen by surprise.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°The Liyang royal family has someone trying to break through to the Soul Transformation realm?¡± This news made Yang Chen¡¯s brow furrow instantly. Many things suddenly became clear to him. No wonder the Liyang royal family has been increasingly arrogant in recent years. It turns out they¡¯re about to have a Soul Transformation cultivator. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, a Soul Transformation cultivator is absolutely a dominant power. Only by having Soul Transformation cultivators can one be considered a top-tier force in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Take the Blood de Sect and Wind Thunder Sect for example, they¡¯re called paramount forces because they had three to five Soul Transformation cultivators, able to dominate a region! If the Liyang royal family had a Soul Transformation cultivator, even if they can¡¯t be considered a paramount force, they can gradually break free from Xuantian Sect¡¯s control. For Xuantian Sect, this was an absolute bad news. It seems this protagonist temte is quite interesting. He had a premonition. The one about to break through to the Soul Transformation realm must be deeply connected to Li Hao. Killing them would not only allow Xuantian Sect to maintain control over Liyang Kingdom, but also allow him to reap a wave of VPs. ¡°Who is it!?¡± Suddenly, Yan Jiu let out a cold shout. His body instantly turned into a ck mist and vanished. Yang Chen¡¯s expression was slightly dazed, his brows tightly furrowed. Someone actually dared to spy on him! Yet he didn¡¯t detect them. It seems the other party had formidable skills! The waters in this Liyang Kingdom really do run deep! However, Yan Jiu¡¯s current cultivation level has reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm. As a soul cultivator, his perception of soul power is extremely keen. Moreover, after devouring the soul of the Venerable Cangchen, he has mastered many strange techniques. Detecting the other party was to be expected. Yang Chen also followed right after him. Although Yan Jiu¡¯s strength had reached the Peak Nascent Soul realm, the other party¡¯s cultivation was definitely not low either. Yan Jiu alone may not be able to capture them. Following Yan Jiu¡¯s aura, Yang Chen came to a mountain range outside the capital of Liyang. Facing Yan Jiu was a slender ck-robed figure. It was clearly a woman based on her slim physique. [Ding! Reminder: Female lead has been detected: Zhao Shirou, Li Hao¡¯s Royal Mother, possesses the Profound Yin Physique and cultivates the Furnace technique: Triple Yin Convergence Technique!] Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice rang in his mind. Yang Chen was taken aback. Zhao Shirou, Li Hao¡¯s Royal Mother Zhao Shirou? Profound Yin Physique? Furnace technique: Triple Yin Convergence Technique? He had heard of these before. In the Central Continent, there was a sect called the Pleasure Harmony Sect. It was a dual cultivation sect. The Profound Yin Physique was the body constitution most favored by this sect. Whenever one appeared, they would usually be directly epted as a disciple by the Sect Master or elders, and receive focused cultivation. Of course, the purpose of cultivating them was not for the sect¡¯s next generation, but rather to use the Profound Yin Physique as a furnace. If these cultivators encountered a bottleneck difficult to ovee in their cultivation, they could refine and supplement themselves with the Profound Yin Physique. Using it to break through their realm. As for the Three Yin Convergence Technique, it was a cultivation method specifically for the Profound Yin Physique. Of course, it was to better preserve the Profound Yin qi within the Profound Yin Physique, facilitating future supplementation. It seemed that this Zhao Shirou was caught in a whirlpool without realizing it! However, this worked out perfectly. He could use her as a breakthrough. ¡°Who are you? How dare you spy on my master!¡± Yan Jiu coldly snorted, emanating a murderous aura. Eager to show loyalty before Yang Chen. He directly summoned a ck sickle, ready to take action. But Yang Chen stopped him. ¡°Yan Jiu, do not be reckless!¡± ¡°Master?¡± Yan Jiu turned his head, looking puzzled. Yang Chen walked up to Zhao Shirou and smiled, ¡°Consort Rou, it seems you are quite different from the rumors!¡± Previously, Yang Chen had inquired about Li Hao¡¯s matters from Xu Qingxuan. Li Hao¡¯s royal mother was Consort Rou. However, she was not favored by the Liyang King. Since Li Hao¡¯s birth, the Liyang King had never visited Consort Rou¡¯s pce. Hearing this, he had thought Consort Rou was just an ordinary woman. But the Consort Rou before him had the cultivation of the Late Nascent Soul realm. This was likely much higher than even the Liyang King¡¯s. The Protagonist¡¯s mother truly wasn¡¯t simple. ¡°You actually recognize me?¡± Zhao Shirou was very surprised in her heart. In the entire Liyang Kingdom, besides her master and Li Zhan, no one knew her true identity. Even Li Hao only thought his royal mother was an unfavoured weak woman. But this Xuantian Holy Son before her had blurted out her real identity with just one line. How could she not be shocked? ¡°Consort Rou,ing out sote at night, I wonder what this is about? Is it because I disciplined Li Hao earlier, making him knock his head a few times?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice carried a hint of amusement. Hmph! Zhao Shirou let out a cold snort. She had onlye because she was angered after seeing Li Hao injured, wanting to investigate Xuantian Sect¡¯s situation. Yet she never expected the other party to be so alert. She should know, she was extremely skilled at concealment. Even her master couldn¡¯t detect her presence. She was confident that even Soul Transformation cultivators would have difficulty discovering her. But that withered middle-aged man¡¯s perception was so strong. ¡°As expected of Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son! Surrounded by experts!¡± With her identity seen through, Zhao Shirou didn¡¯t bother hiding anymore. Her true qi surged as her night robe disintegrated, revealing a pale-yellow phoenix robe underneath. The form-fitting robe wrapped around her bewitching, curvaceous figure. Her skin was snow-white, her face alluring. Her dark tresses were bunned up behind her head. Her entire being exuded the aura of a beautiful mature woman. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help curving his lips slightly. As expected of the mother of the Protagonist, her beauty was indeed¡­ Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Zhao Shirou appeared to be in her thirties. Her exquisite, breathtakingly beautiful face emanated a hint of charm and the aura of a gorgeous mature woman. Draped in a pale-yellow phoenix robe, she also looked extremely noble, involuntarily causing one to have a tinge of desire to conquer her. No wonder Li Hao had such a strong protective urge towards his royal mother. Tsk tsk. I too really want to protect her! Moreover, the Liyang King must know Zhao Shirou¡¯s true identity and strength. Otherwise, would he be blind to not favor such a beauty? ¡°Your Highness the Holy Son, I only came to sneak a look out of admiration for your renowned prestige, with no other intentions! Why don¡¯t you have your subordinate step aside and let me leave?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice carried a hint of melting sweetness and pitiful delicateness. Yan Jiu, knowing his master¡¯s preferences, hastily said: ¡°Master, we can¡¯t easily let her go! This woman¡¯s intentions are not benign!¡± Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling him not to speak further. ¡°Consort Rou, I will naturally let you leave! However, there are some things I wish to remind you of!¡± ¡°Your Highness the Holy Son, please go on!¡± ¡°Consort Rou should possess the Profound Yin Physique, right?¡± Yang Chen appraised her shapely, graceful figure as he slowly said. Zhao Shirou was taken aback upon hearing this. She was extremely shocked in her heart. Was Xuantian Sect so formidable? They even knew she had the Profound Yin Physique! Could it be that they had known about their every move all along? If so, then her master¡¯s ns were in danger! Zhao Shirou did not deny it and nodded slightly: ¡°Correct!¡± ¡°The Profound Yin Physique may have a fast cultivation speed, but it is also the ideal body constitution for a furnace! Consort Rou should be aware of this!¡± ¡°Ideal body constitution for a furnace?¡± Zhao Shirou was taken aback by this. It was clear she did not know about this. After all, the Pleasure Harmony Sect was far away in the Central Continent. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice gradually turned cold. ¡°In the Central Continent, there is a sect called the Pleasure Harmony Sect! They specialize in cultivating the deviant arts of supplementing yin with yang, or supplementing yang with yin! And if I¡¯m not mistaken, you must have cultivated a technique called the Triple Yin Convergence Technique!¡± ¡°What!?¡± This time, Zhao Shirou waspletely stunned. Because the other party knew far too much. Apart from her and her master, no one else should know this information. But this Xuantian Holy Son was able to recount it all. ¡°Is your Xuantian Sect specialized in intelligence gathering? How did you obtain all this information?¡± Zhao Shirou said coldly. Yang Chen immediately smiled: ¡°It seems I guessed correctly! Consort Rou, I must say, you are quite fortunate to have encountered me! Do you know? The Triple Yin Convergence Technique you cultivate is the technique used by the Pleasure Harmony Sect to cultivate furnaces! The Profound Yin Physique is born with Profound Yin qi. Cultivating the Triple Yin Convergence Technique allows you to store this Profound Yin qi! When the cultivator nurturing you encounters a blockade in their cultivation, that will be the time to supplement from you! The cultivator about to break through to the Soul Transformation realm must be waiting for you now!¡± ¡°What!? Impossible!¡± Zhao Shirou shook her head repeatedly. Her chest heaved with turbulence. Yang Chen¡¯s words clearly had a huge impact on her. Because that set of Triple Yin Convergence Techniques was passed down to her by her master. If it was as Yang Chen said, then her master had been nurturing her as a furnace all along? ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense! Trying to sow discord between me and my master! Despicable!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was instantly filled with killing intent. Her master had imparted the technique to her and guided her cultivation. He was her respected elder. She would not allow Yang Chen to insult him like this. Zhao Shirou directly attacked Yang Chen. Striking out with her palm. ¡°Audacious!¡± Yan Jiu blocked in front of Yang Chen, deflecting her strike. The two swiftly engaged inbat. Although Zhao Shirou was in thete Nascent Soul realm, Yan Jiu had reached the Peak Nascent Soul realm. The gap was considerable. Moreover, Yan Jiu was a soul cultivator with many vicious techniques. Zhao Shirou quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. There was even a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. Meanwhile, Yang Chen asked the system: ¡°System, is there a poison that can temporarily force a semi-Soul Transformation cultivator to fall from their realm?¡± [Ding! To temporarily force a semi-Soul Transformation cultivator to fall to the Golden Core realm, host is rmended the Realm Descending Powder. Itsts up to ten hours. Redeeming requires 500 VPs. Do you wish to redeem?] ¡°Redeem!¡± [Redeemed sessfully, 500 VPs deducted, one bottle of Realm Descending Powder obtained!] At this moment, Zhao Shirou was coughing up blood from Yan Jiu¡¯s attacks, clearly outmatched. Yang Chen hastily said: ¡°Yan Jiu, stop! You must not harm Consort Rou!¡± Yan Jiu reluctantly retreated. ¡°My master has reached the semi-Soul Transformation realm. If my master senses I¡¯m in danger, master will definitelye to my rescue! If your Xuantian Sect does not have a Soul Transformation cultivator to face my master, it¡¯s best you let me leave. Otherwise!¡± Zhao Shirou said coldly. Yang Chen stepped forward, his face showing a warm smile: ¡°Rest assured Consort Rou, we will not make things difficult for you! It¡¯s just that, seeing Consort Rou¡¯s otherworldly poise and beauty, as an utmost beauty, I can¡¯t help but feel regretful if it¡¯s truly as I said! So, please ept this bottle of Bewildering Infant Powder! ¡°It was refined by a grand pill master of my Xuantian Sect. It can confound Nascent Soul cultivators, causing them to temporarily lose their senses. Even semi-Soul Transformations would be muddled for a moment! At that time, Consort Rou can take the opportunity to escape! Once that happens, Consort Rou cane to the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion and seek refuge from my Xuantian Sect!¡± As Yang Chen spoke, he tossed over a white jade bottle. Zhao Shirou did not refuse. Although she felt her master would definitely not harm her, this bastard had urately pinpointed her secrets one by one. The Profound Yin Physique. The Triple Yin Convergence Technique. Her master had even strictly instructed her never to be emotionally involved with men. All this caused a slight waver in her heart. So she epted the jade bottle from Yang Chen. Although she didn¡¯t know what schemes this bastard had, it was still better to have an extra precaution. ¡°Farewell!¡± Zhao Shirou gave a cold snort and flew off immediately. ¡°Master, you¡¯re just letting her go?¡± Yan Jiu was very puzzled by this. Silently calling his master a lecher.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om He had no interest in beauties, only in the Nascent Soul souls of cultivators. Yang Chen ignored him, gazing at Zhao Shirou¡¯s departing figure, a yful smile gradually curving his lips. As long as Zhao Shirou epted the Realm Descending Powder, his n had already seeded halfway. ¡°Yan Jiu, you said earlier that the semi-Soul Transformation cultivator failed to condense their Soul Transformation, are you certain?¡± Yan Jiu hurriedly replied: ¡°Master, your subordinate is absolutely certain! I sensed that Soul Transformation fluctuation very clearly!¡± Chapter 72 Chapter 72 ¡°Excellent!¡± Yang Chen looked towards the distant capital city of Liyang ¡­ A semi-Soul Transformation cultivator was far stronger than even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Especially one who had already started condensing their Soul Transformation, they were extremely close to the Soul Transformation realm. If they forcibly killed that person, he and Yan Jiu would definitely not be able to do so without paying a price. But now ¡­ Hehehe. He would wait for the good news. Two dayster, at the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. Leng Yuyan¡¯s closed-door cultivation had not ended yet. This was the disadvantage of Nascent Soul cultivators ¨C one session of secluded cultivationsted a very long time, at least half a month, which was considered short. It had caused Yang Chen quite a difficult couple of nights. ¡°Holy Son, I have already contacted the major cultivator ns in the capital of Liyang! They are all willing to support Xuantian Sect! Now we only await yourmand!¡± Xu Hui reported from the side. ¡°Good, very good!¡± Yang Chen nodded in approval. Things were proceeding as he had expected. After all, those major cultivator ns were not fools. If the Liyang royal family broke free from Xuantian Sect¡¯s control, they would definitely tighten their grip on the various cultivator ns within the country. Conversely, if the Liyang royal family declined, they could take the opportunity to encroach on some of the royal family¡¯s interests instead. Although in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes they were all just riffraff, they still had their uses. At the very least, they could serve as a counterbnce against the Liyang royal family. The most crucial aspect of controlling a force was checks and bnces. Only then could Xuantian Sect stably control Liyang Kingdom. Meanwhile, at the Imperial Pce of Liyang, ¡°Royal Mother, this time while imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, my realm advanced again, reaching the 8th stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!¡± As soon as Li Hao was released from the Heavenly Prison, he went straight to Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce to share his joyful news of breaking through his realm. ¡°Mm, Hao¡¯er is so impressive! A worthy of being my good son!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s expression was gentle as she stroked Li Hao¡¯s head affectionately, smiling warmly. After decades of interaction, she truly saw Li Hao as her own child. At this moment, the Liyang King, Li Zhan, d in a dragon robe, suddenly entered Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce. ¡°Royal Father!¡± ¡°You¡­why have youe?¡± Li Hao was stunned. For decades, his royal father had never once visited. Why had hee to his royal mother¡¯s pce today? Although he didn¡¯t know the reason, Li Hao felt extremely uneasy. His royal mother held an iparable position in his heart. Apart from himself, he did not wish for any other man to get close to her. Even his royal father was not permitted. The Liyang King ignored Li Hao and urgently said to Zhao Shirou: ¡°Consort Rou, the Ancestral Master wishes to see you! Quicklye with this king!¡± ¡°Master¡­ the Ancestral Master wishes to see me?¡± Zhao Shirou was taken aback. Her master had been in secluded cultivation for years now, preparing to break through to the Soul Transformation realm. For her to be suddenly summoned now, what could be the reason? Under normal circumstances, Zhao Shirou would immediately go whenever summoned by her master. But now, she suddenly recalled the words Yang Chen had said. *** The Liyang Pce. Inside an ancient grand hall. ¡°Disciple greets master!¡± Zhao Shirou bowed in greeting to a tall figure with his back turned. ¡°Rou¡¯er, you¡¯ve reached the Seventh stage of Nascent Soul realm? Yes, good. Very good!¡± The tall figure turned around, revealing an elderly man with white hair. Although his build was sturdy, hisplexion was slightly pale. He waved to the ruler of Liyang and said: ¡°Li Zhan, you may leave!¡± ¡°Yes, ancient ancestor!¡± Li Zhan respectfully withdrew. But his gaze towards Zhao Shirou shed with a hint of ambiguity and regret. The hall doors closed. Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Master, did you fail to break through to the Soul Transformation realm?¡± ¡°Correct!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor nodded, his tone somewhat mncholic. ¡°I was just one step away from condensing my Soul Transformation, but ultimately failed! This hurdle has not been crossed by any of Liyang¡¯s ancestors. However, it doesn¡¯t matter, I still have a chance! However, this chance requires your help!¡± ¡°You need my help?¡± Zhao Shirou raised her delicate brows, but quickly said: ¡°Master, please speak! If it helps you break through to Soul Transformation, disciple will not hesitate even if it costs my life!¡± ¡°No need for such extremes!¡±@@novelbin@@ The ancient Liyang ancestor stared at her intently. ¡°Rou¡¯er, I¡¯m very pleased with your filial devotion! Since you¡¯re willing, then I¡¯ll be direct! The reason I failed to condense my Soul Transformation is because my cultivation path is too Yang-focused! The path of cultivation emphasizes the bnce of Yin and Yang, which is the way of the Grand Dao! So, I want to borrow the Profound Yin Qi essence from your body to neutralize the extreme Yang in mine!¡± ¡°Borrow the Profound Yin Qi essence from my body?¡± Zhao Shirou frowned. She remembered Yang Chen¡¯s words again. She couldn¡¯t help but clench her jade hands. But looking at her solemn master, she found it hard to think along those lines. So she asked: ¡°Master, do you need me to transfer the Profound Yin Qi essence from my body to you?¡± ¡°Correct!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor walked slowly towards Zhao Shirou. A smile appeared on his face. ¡°Rou¡¯er, transferring the Profound Yin Qi essence requires sexual intercourse between a man and a woman! So, I may have to trouble you a bit!¡± ¡°Sexual intercourse!?¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help but step back twice. Her heart became flustered. Could it really be as Yang Chen said? Her master wants her to¡­? ¡°Master, I¡¯m afraid I cannot ept this!¡± Zhao Shirou said solemnly. ¡°You don¡¯t ept?¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor raised his brows, his tone displeased. ¡°Master, you may not be able to break through to Soul Transformation now, but you can wait some more time! I¡¯m willing to help you find a Yin object to neutralize your extreme Yang! But I cannot ept the method you proposed!¡± Zhao Shirou hurriedly said. The ancient ancestor¡¯s expression gradually darkened. ¡°Rou¡¯er, your refusal has angered me! However, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t ept! After all, you don¡¯t have a choice!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor directly reached out and grabbed Zhao Shirou¡¯s neck from a distance. ¡°Master, you¡­!¡± Zhao Shirou was stunned. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ve nurtured you for hundreds of years, just for this day, and you say you refuse? Rou¡¯er, obediently fulfill my dream of bing a Soul Transformation!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor¡¯s gaze swept over Zhao Shirou¡¯s exquisite, alluring figure and her enchanting, beautiful face, gradually bing somewhat lustful. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 ¡°It must be said, you¡¯ve be more and more beautiful over the years! Even I am somewhat infatuated! Tsk tsk, this is for the best, as I can cultivate to the fullest! After absorbing your essence, I can smoothly condense my Soul Transformation! At that time, as a Soul Transformation powerhouse, I¡¯ll be a sovereign in the entire Northern Spiritual Realm! Haha!¡± Listening to her master¡¯s words, Zhao Shirou felt as if her heart was being sliced. It turned out to be just as Yang Chen had said. The master she had always revered had truly been nurturing her as a furnace. Waiting until he broke through to Soul Transformation to absorb her essence. ¡°I won¡¯t let you seed!¡± Zhao Shirou circted her true qi, trying to break free. But the ancient Liyang ancestor directly summoned a crimson talisman, suspending it above Zhao Shirou¡¯s head. The talisman radiated scorching heat, with dragon roars resounding. This was the imperial jade formation of the Liyang royal family. Cultivation realms would forge jade formations to embody the dynasty¡¯s destiny. This jade formation had been nurtured for 10,000 years by the Liyang royal family on a dragon vein. Extremely Yang-focused. It had an obvious suppressive effect on Zhao Shirou¡¯s Yin body. The jade formation hovered in the air, surrounded by crimson dragon shadows. It directly pinned Zhao Shirou down below. Making it difficult for her to circte her Profound Yin true qi. ¡°Hmph, everything you have was given by me! How can you escape from my grasp? Rou¡¯er, being my furnace to help me break through to Soul Transformation, you should feel honored!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor¡¯s smile gradually became crazed. Then, he directly removed his clothing. Revealing his crimson, iron-like body. He slowly approached Zhao Shirou, who was pinned down by the jade formation. Zhao Shirou felt desperate. If her master absorbed her essence, she would be finished. She didn¡¯t understand why her Profound Yin Qi physique made her a prime furnace. But she knew about furnaces and essence absorption. The cultivated essence of the absorbed person would bepletely drained. Leaving them as an ordinary person. If it were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they might live a few more decades as an ordinary person. But she, with her Nascent Soul level cultivation, had cultivated for hundreds of years. If she lost her cultivation, her lifespan would immediately be exhausted, and she would die. ¡°No, I can¡¯t let him seed! I must escape from here!¡± Zhao Shirou then thought of the Bewildering Infant Powder that Yang Chen had given her. If she could make her master momentarily lose focus and control over the jade formation, she could break free and escape from the pce. Zhao Shirou took out the jade bottle and threw it. Pah! The jade bottle shattered in mid-air. A ck gaseous substance spread out. ¡°Hmph, petty tricks!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor didn¡¯t take it seriously at all. With his half-step Soul Transformation cultivation, few poisons in the world would affect him. He waved his hand, trying to disperse the ck gas. But to his surprise, the ck gas could not be dispelled. Instead, it directly enveloped him. ¡°Damn it! What is this thing?¡± The ck gas entered his body. The ancient Liyang ancestor¡¯s aura rapidly began to decline. ¡°Wicked disciple! You actually nned this in advance, daring to plot against me! What kind of poison is this?¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor roared. In an instant, his cultivation had dropped three minor realms. Seizing the moment when her master lost control of the jade formation, Zhao Shirou quickly broke free. Without a moment¡¯s hesitation, she dashed out of the grand hall. ¡°Damn it! Don¡¯t think you can run! Li Zhan, stop her!¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor shouted. Li Zhan, who was outside the hall, blocked Zhao Shirou¡¯s path. ¡°Consort Zhao, the ancient ancestor asks you to stay!¡± ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Zhao Shirou struck Li Zhan with a palm strike, causing him to cough up blood and fly away. She then rushed towards the Imperial Preceptor¡¯s Mansion without looking back. At this moment, Yang Chen naturally sensed the powerful fluctuation of true qi emanating from Zhao Shirou. ¡°Master!¡± ¡°There is a disturbance in the Liyang Pce!¡± Yan Jiu appeared beside Yang Chen. His withered face and sinister eyes made Xu Qingxuan, who was pouring tea, tremble in fear. There was such a terrifying person beside the Holy Son. Was he a cultivator from the Xuantian Sect? He didn¡¯t really seem like one! ¡°Hee hee, little girl, don¡¯t be afraid! I am the master¡¯s subordinate, I won¡¯t harm you!¡± Yan Jiu revealed a mouthful of big white teeth at Xu Qingxuan, his voice hoarse and unpleasant. ¡°Sen¡­ Senior, you¡­ you can have some tea!¡± Xu Qingxuan tremblingly handed him a cup of tea. Yan Jiu didn¡¯t even look at it. ¡°I don¡¯t like drinking tea! I only like¡­¡± ¡°Enough, Yan Jiu!¡± Yang Chen cut him off. This Yan Jiu fellow indeed had no interest in food and drink. He only cared about souls. However, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t let Yan Jiu say such things in front of Xu Qingxuan. After all, even though he was the great viin, he had to maintain an upright appearance on the surface. The Soul Cult was too evil. It was better to keep it hidden.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Consort Zhao ising!¡± Yang Chen murmured, gazing into the sky. In a moment, a yellow ray of light descended into the Imperial Preceptor¡¯s Residence. ¡°Your Holiness, please save me!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s charming face was full of panic. ¡°It seems it was as I predicted! But how did Consort Zhao escape?¡± ¡°I used the Bewildering Infant Powder you gave me to momentarily dy my master!¡± Zhao Shirou said urgently: ¡°Your Holiness, my master has reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm and wields the Liyang jade formation, able tomand the extreme Yang force umted over 10,000 years by the Liyang royal family. Below the Soul Transformation realm, he is nearly invincible! I don¡¯t know if there are any Soul Transformation cultivators among Your Holiness¡¯ followers?¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°No!¡± ¡°No!?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s heart sank. Although the Xuantian Holy Son was alone, her master wouldn¡¯t dare kill him due to his status. However, that didn¡¯t mean he could protect her. Zhao Shirou hesitated in her heart. Should she pin her hopes on the Xuantian Holy Son? Or should she seize this chance and try to escape as far as possible? But before she could make a decision, Yang Chen said to Xu Qingxuan: ¡°Junior Sister Xu, go and inform your father to notify the major sects to head to the Liyang Imperial Pce!¡± After saying that, Yang Chen and Yan Jiu flew towards the Liyang Imperial Pce. ¡°What is the Holy Son doing?¡± Zhao Shirou was puzzled and perplexed. Xu Qingxuan spoke up: ¡°Consort Zhao! The Holy Son probably ns to y that ancient ancestor of the Liyang royal family! Today, the Liyang royal family may face a catastrophe!¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhao Shirou was rmed, suddenly thinking of Li Hao who was still in the pce. ¡°No, Hao¡¯er is still in the pce!¡± Chapter 74 Chapter 74 The Liyang Pce. Inside the ancient grand hall. Li Zhan, the ruler of Liyang, was being choked by Yan Jiu and tossed to the ground like a dead dog. His aurapletely gone. Beside him were three corpses. All of them were Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liyang royal family who tried to obstruct the two of them. As Nascent Soul cultivators, they had only reached the Nascent Soul realm and could not form independent soul bodies yet. Although insignificant to a Soul Cult cultivator like Yan Jiu, they were at least an appetizing small dish. ¡°Xuantian Holy Son, our Li nation is under the influence of your Xuantian Sect! Is this how your Xuantian Sect treats us?¡± The ancient Liyang ancestor sat cross-legged on the ground, roaring angrily. Yang Chen looked at him with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Our Xuantian Sect¡¯s records state that you, Li Tengshan, perished from heavy injuries three hundred years ago! But now, you¡¯re still alive, and have even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm! I knew it, with just Li Zhan¡¯s paltry cultivation, even if he was slightly stronger than that Imperial Preceptor Xu Hui, he shouldn¡¯t have been so formidable! It turns out there was someone like you behind the scenes! You want to break through to Soul Transformation and escape our Xuantian Sect¡¯s control, but it seems you can¡¯t do that!¡± ¡°Damned brat!¡± Li Tengshan roared furiously. But he no longer had the aura of a half-step Soul Transformation. At this moment, the Realm Descending Powder had fully taken effect, causing his cultivation to plummet to the Golden Core realm. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t been poisoned and was still at the half-step Soul Transformation realm, how could a brat like you be so audacious!¡± Fury filled Li Tengshan¡¯s face. ¡°Ancient ancestor!¡± ¡°Father!¡± At this moment, Li Hao entered the hall. Seeing his weakened ancient ancestor and his father¡¯s corpse, his eyes immediately turned red with rage. ¡°Yang Chen, you killed my father!?¡± Li Hao roared furiously, the veins on his forehead bulging like a maddened beast. Although his father had an average rtionship with his mother, he had treated this son well. Earlier, his father said the ancient ancestor wanted to see his mother. Li Hao felt uneasy, so he followed. But instead, he witnessed this scene. That despicable bastard Yang Chen had actually killed his father! For a son to suffer his father¡¯s murder, it was an unpardonable grudge. Li Hao¡¯s eyes instantly turned red with rage, even forgetting to flee. [Ding! Host has in Li Zhan, Li Hao¡¯s father. Li Hao witnessed it. Plundered 2000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 2000 VPs!] Yang Chen was speechless at this moment. He didn¡¯t expect Li Hao to witness it. s. Didn¡¯t this make him the murderer of the protagonist¡¯s father? But it didn¡¯t matter. After all, he was the great viin. ¡°Master, let me kill that brat!¡± Yan Jiu waved his hand, preparing to y Li Hao. But a pale yellow figure appeared in front of Li Hao. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou hurriedly shielded Li Hao behind her. ¡°Zhao Shirou, you wicked disciple! You dare return! What poison did you use on me?¡± Seeing Zhao Shirou, Li Tengshan immediately roared in anger. Resentment filled his aged face. The n he schemed for a thousand years was ruined by this woman. ¡°Master, I gave you the Bewildering Infant Powder!¡± Zhao Shirou also noticed something was off. She had heard of the Bewildering Infant Powder, a poison specifically targeting Nascent Soul cultivators. Against her master at the half-step Soul Transformation realm, it could at most cause temporary disorientation. That¡¯s why she fled immediately. But now, her master¡¯s aura had plummeted to the Golden Core realm. Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help looking at Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, did you really give me the Bewildering Infant Powder?¡± Yang Chen immediately smiled. ¡°Consort Zhao, I suddenly remembered that I must have grabbed the wrong one! I mistook the Bewildering Infant Powder for the Realm Descending Powder! This poison can cause a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator¡¯s realm to rapidly drop to the Golden Core realm!¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°You¡­! You did it on purpose!¡± Zhao Shirou realized the truth. Her beautiful eyes turned frosty. This bastard was truly despicable! Come to think of it, why would this scoundrel suddenly help her and even give her a bottle of Bewildering Infant Powder to escape? It turned out he deliberately gave her the Realm Descending Powder to use on her master, causing his realm to drop to the Golden Core. ¡°Damn you! Yang Chen, you treacherous scoundrel!¡± Zhao Shirou looked at Li Zhan¡¯s corpse on the ground and immediately understood Yang Chen¡¯s intention. He was taking the opportunity to kill her master! Although her master had been grooming her as a furnace all along, after hundreds of years as master and disciple, if today¡¯s events hadn¡¯t happened, he would still be the person she respected most. So at this moment, Zhao Shirou¡¯s heart softened. Her figure shed and appeared before Li Tengshan, intending to take him away. But then, Yan Jiu let out an eerieugh and shed at her with his sickle. ¡°Damn it!¡± Zhao Shirou could only defend herself desperately as Yan Jiu pressed his attack. ¡°Senior Li, since you¡¯ve already been expunged from this world as a dead man! This junior believes it¡¯s better for you not to remain alive! Allow me to send you on your way!¡± Yang Chen walked up to Li Tengshan and said slowly. ¡°Yang Chen, no, Your Holiness, you¡­ you can¡¯t kill me!¡± Fear rose in Li Tengshan¡¯s heart as he hurriedly pleaded: ¡°I¡¯m willing to submit to your Xuantian Sect and never have disloyal thoughts again! Spare my life, and I¡¯ll contribute all the treasures the Liyang royal family has umted over 10,000 years to the Xuantian Sect!¡± In the face of life and death, the mighty half-step Soul Transformation was reduced to shameless begging. But Yang Chen would never give him a chance. He was the viin, but not a senseless one. So, it should be done swiftly. He unleashed a ball of me directly. The Green Lotus Heavenly mes rapidly enveloped Li Tengshan, instantly igniting his physical body. ¡°Ah! Yang Chen, you treacherous dog, bastard! Even as a ghost, I won¡¯t let you off! Your Xuantian Sect will eventually be destroyed, your entire n exterminated! You won¡¯t die an easy death either!¡± Li Tengshan cursed loudly in agony. But soon, his physical body was reduced to ashes. A faint red ethereal form tried to escape, but was immediately enveloped by Yan Jiu¡¯s ck mist form. ¡°You don¡¯t even have the chance to be a ghost!¡± Yang Chen coldly snorted, then transmitted his voice to Yan Jiu: ¡°Yan Jiu, go refine him elsewhere!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Yan Jiu vanished from the hall. Li Tengshan had reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm. Although he hadn¡¯t fully condensed his Soul Transformation, he was just one step away. So his soul body had initially formed. To Yan Jiu, the newly formed soul body of a half-step Soul Transformation was a great supplement. ¡°Yang Chen, you despicable scoundrel!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s enchanting eyes were now filled with killing intent. After all, Li Tengshan had been her master who taught her for hundreds of years. And he was killed right before her eyes by Yang Chen! Moreover, it was by using the poison she had deployed! This treacherous, despicable scoundrel! Zhao Shirou directly struck at Yang Chen with her palm. ¡°Yang Chen, die!¡± Bang! Chapter 75 Chapter 75 A demonic illusory figure appeared and shed down at her with an axe. Killing intent filled the entire hall. Although Zhao Shirou was at the Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she was still struck by Yang Chen¡¯s attack, coughing up blood as she was sent flying. ¡°You ¡­ how is this possible?¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t believe it. She was two entire realms higher than Yang Chen, yet couldn¡¯t withstand even one of his attacks, immediately suffering severe injuries! This bastard was shockingly powerful! ¡°Consort Zhao, you attacked me first! Don¡¯t me me for injuring you!¡± Yang Chen smirked as he slowly approached Zhao Shirou. ¡°Yang Chen, you ¡­ you despicable scoundrel! I ¡­ I really regret listening to you!¡± Zhao Shirou cursed angrily. Yang Chen remained unruffled, his face still wearing a gentle smile. ¡°Consort Zhao, you¡¯re mistaken! If not for me, you would have been absorbed by your master! Not only would your body have been defiled by that lecherous old man, but your life would also be forfeit! You should be thanking me instead!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Shirou snorted coldly. ¡°Your Xuantian Sect prides itself as an upright orthodox sect, yet its Holy Son resorts to such vile and underhanded methods! Utterly shameless!¡± ¡°Heh heh!¡± Yang Chenughed. ¡°Consort Zhao, do you not fear I¡¯ll kill you for insulting me like this?¡± Zhao Shirou paused, but still said coldly: ¡°If you want to kill me, then do it. No more idle talk!¡± ¡°Consort Zhao looks enchantingly beautiful, but I didn¡¯t expect your character to be so unyielding! I quite admire such spirit!¡± Yang Chen looked towards the hall entrance. The earlier Nascent Soul battle had knocked out the mere Foundation Establishment cultivator Li Hao. ¡°Consort Zhao, what if I killed Li Hao, this genius ninth prince, to eliminate a future threat?¡± ¡°You ¡­ bastard!¡± Panic filled Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyes. Li Hao was the one she had raised like her own son all these years. He was currently the person she cared about most. Earlier, she had riskeding here to find Li Hao. Sensing her expression, Yang Chen immediately smiled: ¡°Heh heh, it seems Consort Zhao cares deeply for Li Hao! So Consort Zhao doesn¡¯t want me to kill him either!¡± *** ¡°You, bastard!¡± Zhao Shirou was instantly stunned. Her phoenix-like eyes widened. She never expected Yang Chen to be so despicable as to threaten her with Hao¡¯er! ¡°You, you have achieved all your goals, what else do you want?¡± Zhao Shirou said coldly. ¡°What do I want?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept over Zhao Shirou¡¯s exquisite and graceful figure. Wearing a phoenix robe, even with blood at the corners of her mouth, she exuded an elegant and noble aura. Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness, but the charming look in the corners of her eyes could not be suppressed. Her waist was slender, unable to be grasped in one hand. Below her neck, her agitated state caused her chest to heaveboriously. Half-lying on the ground, revealing her round and slender jade legs. This woman, she was truly beautiful. Filled with the charm of a beautifuldy. Most importantly, she was the mother of the protagonist. The protagonist was extremely protective towards her. Hahaha. She couldn¡¯t be killed. She would be kept and used. After all, during this period, he had been nning to eliminate Li Tengshen, who was a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator. He had not yet harvested the 20,000 points from Hao¡¯er.N?v(el)B\\jnn ¡°Yang Chen, watch your eyes!¡± Noticing Yang Chen¡¯s gaze, Zhao Shirou shouted coldly and hurriedly pulled at her clothes, turning sideways. But this action gave Yang Chen a visual effect of beautiful curves from different angles. Yang Chen immediately said with relish: ¡°The gracious Lady Zhao is so enchantingly beautiful, I can¡¯t help but let my eyes wander! Actually, I¡¯m also very interested in the gracious Lady Zhao! Why don¡¯t you be my Daopanion?¡± ¡°You, you¡¯re delusional!¡± Zhao Shirou gritted her silvery teeth, with a determined look on her face. She had cultivated for hundreds of years. Step by step, from an ordinary person to thete stage Nascent Soul realm. She also had a sense of pride in her heart. Even if it meant death, she would notpromise. Especially with this bastard in front of her. He had just schemed against her and taken advantage of her. ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen smiled. ¡°Does the gracious Lady Zhao want me to kill Hao¡¯er?¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen waved his hand, and a true qi handprint directly grabbed Hao¡¯er. If he exerted force, Hao¡¯er would be crushed to pieces. ¡°You, let Hao¡¯er go!¡± Zhao Shirou immediately panicked and hurriedly got up. She wanted to intervene and stop Yang Chen. But ¡­ the strike from Yang Chen earlier had already severely injured her. Forcibly circting her true qi now caused fresh blood to spill from the corners of her mouth. Her aura was extremely weak. ¡°Yang Chen, how could you be so despicable?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was tinged with sobs. She was about to break down. This bastard, he looked so harmless. But his way of doing things was so insidious. It was one thing to poison her master with his schemes. Now, he was even threatening to force her to be his Daopanion by holding Hao¡¯er¡¯s life hostage! It was truly hateful! Hearing the sobbing tone in Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice, Yang Chen knew his threat had gone far enough. So he softened his tone. After all, a carrot had to be offered after the stick. Only then would she truly submit. ¡°Gracious Lady Zhao, actually, the main reason I want you to be my Daopanion is to help you resolve the Profound Yin Qi in your body!¡± ¡°The Profound Yin Qi in my body?¡± Zhao Shirou looked stunned. ¡°Correct!¡± Yang Chen nodded and said seriously: ¡°Gracious Lady Zhao has cultivated the Triple Yin Convergence Technique for hundreds of years, and all the umted Profound Yin Qi is stored in the three major apertures of your body! The Profound Yin Qi allowed you to progress rapidly in your cultivation, reaching the Late-stage Nascent Soul realm in just a few hundred years! But the harm is also great! Hasn¡¯t the gracious Lady Zhao often felt extremely cold in her body, especially on full moon nights, when your entire body feels as if it has been frozen stiff?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Zhao Shirou was taken aback. This bastard really knew everything, didn¡¯t he? It was true that she often felt extremely cold in her body. On full moon nights, the symptoms would be severely exacerbated, and sometimes she would even pass out from the cold. Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Yang Chen continued: ¡°The Profound Yin Qi is indeed very beneficial for your cultivation! But anything in excess is harmful! Li Tengshen previously treated you as a furnace, so naturally he wouldn¡¯t tell you these things! If the Profound Yin Qi in your body continues to umte, I dare say that within thirty years, the Profound Yin Qi will form into Profound Ice, and by then it will be irreversible. Your life force will gradually be frozen and dissipated!@@novelbin@@ ¡°However, if the gracious Lady Zhao allows me to absorb the Profound Yin Qi, not only will the symptoms be resolved, but you will also be able to break through to the Soul Transformation realm in the future!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Zhao Shirou fell silent. ¡°But the absorption of the Profound Yin Qi requires sexual intercourse!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Yang Chen quickly nodded. ¡°That¡¯s also the reason why I proposed for you to be my Daopanion! If the gracious Lady Zhao wants to resolve the Profound Yin Qi in her body, she must take this step! There¡¯s no other way, you can only me Li Tengshen. He made you cultivate the Triple Yin Convergence Technique and umte Profound Yin Qi, treating you as nothing more than a furnace! Ordinary fire cultivators would also treat you as a furnace to absorb from! ¡°But I possess a Primordial Fire, which can refine the Profound Yin Qi in your body, forming a kind of dual cultivation effect, benefiting both of us! So, gracious Lady Zhao, think it over carefully! Be my Daopanion, and Hao¡¯er will be my stepson. I can guarantee his safety! Otherwise, even if I don¡¯t kill him, with his talent, will others just let him grow unhindered?¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen ced the unconscious Hao¡¯er not far from them. Looking at the unconscious Hao¡¯er, then at the hint of smugness and anticipation in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes, Zhao Shirou clenched her jade fists. This bastard. He was truly a despicable person, taking advantage of others¡¯ difficulties! But thinking carefully ¡­ What he said made some sense. The harm caused by the Profound Yin Qi was indeed great. Every night, she felt as if she was in an ice cer. On full moon nights, the cold was unbearable, to the point of passing out. If this continued, the Profound Yin Qi would indeed endanger her life. In the past, she thought it was just her physical condition. She could only resign herself to fate. But now, this bastard possessed a Primordial Fire, which might indeed be able to refine the extreme cold within the Profound Yin Qi, eliminating her symptoms. Moreover, Hao¡¯er had awakened a terrifying bloodline and reached the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in just three years, with boundless potential in the future. Whether it was the Xuantian Sect or the cultivating forces within the Kingdom of Liyang, none would let him live freely. If he had the protection of this bastard Yang Chen, he would be much safer. Damn it! Does this mean I¡¯ll have to agree to be his Daopanion? Agree to be his ¡­ Daopanion? Zhao Shirou¡¯s heart was extremely conflicted. She felt angry, hateful and helpless. But in the end, she sighed. She had made her decision. ¡°I, I can agree to you! But you must guarantee Hao¡¯er¡¯s safety! And our rtionship cannot be casually spoken of!¡± ¡°Gracious Lady Zhao, rest assured, I am a man of my word! Once you be my Daopanion, Hao¡¯er will be my stepson. Within the sphere of the Xuantian Sect, who would dare touch Yang Chen¡¯s son!?¡± Yang Chen stated solemnly, but a hint of amusement flickered across his lips. Like Yan¡¯er before. After bing his stepson, if Yang Chen didn¡¯t take action, who would dare kill him? Hao¡¯er, oh Hao¡¯er. You never expected this, did you? After just one sleep, you gained a stepfather. Hahaha. You¡¯ll definitely be very happy to know. ¡°You, don¡¯t put it like that!¡± Hearing this, Zhao Shirou¡¯s face flushed slightly. In her heart, she felt extremely ashamed. She had actually agreed to this despicable person, Yang Chen¡¯s threat. To be his Daopanion! How shameful. But hopefully when Hao¡¯er finds out, he¡¯ll understand me, his mother. After all, it was apromise I made so that he could live. s. *** At this time. Xu Hui and a few Nascent Soul cultivators walked into the main hall. ¡°Holy Son! The remaining Nascent Soul cultivator and some Golden Core cultivators of the Liyang Royal Family have all been brought under control!¡± Xu Hui bowed and said. Behind him stood a few Nascent Soul cultivators, who all bowed together: ¡°We pay our respects to the Holy Son!¡± These Nascent Soul cultivators ranged from Stages one to three. They were the patriarchs of the top cultivating ns in the capital of Liyang, second only to the Liyang Royal Family. But now, seeing the ruler of Liyang, Li Zhan, lying dead on the ground as a corpse, they all felt a chill. Li Zhan was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. Yet he died like this, silently without amotion. This Holy Son¡¯s strength was terrifyingly powerful. ¡°Patriarchs, the strongest expert of the Liyang Royal Family three hundred years ago, Li Tengshen, did not actually die but was hiding in the royal pce all along. He even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm! Li Tengshen colluded with the Wind Thunder Sect, intending to eliminate the Imperial Preceptor¡¯s Mansion and the major cultivating forces, so as topletely defect to the Wind Thunder Sect! I, the Holy Son, learned of this from Lady Zhao and reluctantly took action to y him!¡± Yang Chen said solemnly. ¡°What?!¡± The Nascent Soul cultivators were all stunned upon hearing this. ¡°Li Tengshen didn¡¯t die?¡± ¡°Back then, I saw with my own eyes him sitting in meditation!¡± ¡°This old fellow¡¯s concealment was so deep!¡± ¡°Yet we were in the same capital city for three hundred years without noticing!¡± ¡°And that old man even reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm!¡± ¡°Many thanks to the Holy Son for taking action!¡± ¡°If not for the Holy Son, we would surely have met a tragic death at the hands of that old traitor Li Tengshen!¡± ¡°That treacherous old man was wildly ambitious, his death is no great loss. The Holy Son has rid Liyang of a great scourge!¡± ¡°The Holy Son has bestowed a great kindness upon us, from now on we will swear eternal allegiance to the Xuantian Sect and the Holy Son!¡± The Nascent Soul cultivators spoke up one after another, cursing Li Tengshen on one hand, and expressing loyalty to Yang Chen on the other. On the side, Zhao Shirou angrily gritted her silvery teeth, her willow brows furrowed as her chest heaved. This bastard was truly shameless and despicable. He lied so casually. When had she ever said those things? It was clearly his premeditated scheme from the very start. Scheming against someone and taking advantage of them when they were vulnerable. How hateful! At this moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator said: ¡°Holy Son, this subordinate believes we should uproot the weedpletely! Why not exterminate all members of the Liyang Royal Family? That way, we can eliminate any future troubles!¡± ¡°Correct, I agree as well!¡± ¡°Although Li Tengshen and Li Zhan have been killed, the Liyang Royal Family still possesses great power. If they rebel, it would be extremely troublesome!¡± ¡°And this Hao¡¯er, he reached the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm in just three years. Such a cultivation speed, the Holy Son should be wary!¡± Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Hearing this, Zhao Shirou on the side grew somewhat anxious, her brows furrowed tightly. Had she not been severely injured and unable to take action, she would definitely have killed these treacherous old men. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept across them, inwardly sneering. These old fellows simply wanted to seize this opportunity to rece the Liyang Royal Family. Which faction in Liyang controlled power was not important to Yang Chen. However, he had already reached an agreement with Zhao Shirou. Moreover, his reputation as the Holy Son of Xuantian was still very important. Although he was the viin, he was still the righteous Holy Son! How could he open a path of indiscriminate ughter? Besides, Hao¡¯er was already his stepson. How could he kill him? Even if he wanted to kill him, he would have to wait until the boy had no more points for him to reap before doing so! Anyone who suggested it now was simply trying to drive a wedge between father and son! Yang Chen immediately said in a solemn voice: ¡°The Liyang Royal Family will remain, do not exterminate them! My Xuantian Sect is an upright and orthodox sect, how could we indiscriminately massacre the innocent? If not for Li Tengshen and Li Zhan harboring malicious intentions, nning to kill the elders and disciples of the Imperial Precept¡¯s Mansion of my Xuantian Sect, and swearing allegiance to the Wind Thunder Sect, this Holy Son would not have in them! ¡°My Xuantian Sect, as the leading orthodox power in the Northern Spiritual Realm, only punishes the wicked and spares the innocent! Elder Xu, spread my words, let everyone know my stance!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Xu Hui hurriedly bowed and said: ¡°The Holy Son is righteous! This is a blessing for Liyang!¡± But he couldn¡¯t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He knew full well that the Holy Son had been scheming against the Liyang Royal Family all along. But this was fine too, they would still uphold the banner of justice. At this moment, Yang Chen looked towards the unconscious Hao¡¯er and said: ¡°Hao¡¯er possesses exceptional talent! And his mother, Lady Zhao, has rendered great service! This Holy Son has decided to establish him as the Prince of Liyang! In the future, if he can govern with benevolence and uphold the righteous way, he shall inherit the position of Lord of Liyang! You have no objections, do you?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept towards them, his eyes slightly cold and grim. ¡°The Holy Son is magnanimous; we are in utmost admiration! We shall obey the Holy Son¡¯s decree!¡± ¡°In the future, we shall jointly assist the new Lord!¡± The Nascent Soul cultivators all bowed together. Though they felt some regret in their hearts, they did not dare say anything else. They did not yet have the status to object to the Holy Son of Xuantian¡¯s decision. Did they not see the ruler of Liyang, Li Zhan¡¯s corpse lying cold already? Li Tengshen had reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm, yet he too had died! To go against the dominant power of Xuantian Sect in the Northern Spiritual Realm would only lead to death! Obediently listening was better than anything else! That treacherous old man Li Tengshen, how could he have been so blind? Xu Hui led the others away. In the main hall, only Yang Chen, Zhao Shirou, and the unconscious Hao¡¯er remained. ¡°Lady Zhao, how did I handle the situation? Are you satisfied?¡± Yang Chen looked at her with amusement. ¡°Hmph, you werepletely distorting facts and turning ck into white!¡± Zhao Shirou gave a cold snort. But in her heart, she did not dwell on it too much. After all, this fellow had found an excuse to make Hao¡¯er the heir of Liyang. Bing the Lord of Liyang had been Hao¡¯er¡¯s long-cherished dream. Now, he had helped make it a reality. At this moment, Zhao Shirou¡¯s expression suddenly froze. Because a pair of wandering hands had appeared on her slender waist. ¡°Ah! Yang Chen, what are you doing?¡± Zhao Shirou immediately cried out in shock, her body instantly stiffening. Her slim waist had never been touched by a man before. She instinctively wanted to struggle free. But Yang Chen¡¯s physical strength was extremely powerful, and she could not circte her qi at all, so how could she break free? ¡°Yang Chen, you, let go of me!¡± Zhao Shirou said coldly, her face flushing red. ¡°Lady Zhao, please don¡¯t struggle! Let me sense how concentrated the Profound Yin Qi is within your body!¡± ¡°You, do you need to sense the Profound Yin Qi in this way?¡± Zhao Shirou was not foolish. She understood Yang Chen¡¯s intentions clearly. But she could not break free from his arms. She could only give up. However, feeling the scorching heat from Yang Chen¡¯s body, her eternally freezing cold body became much morefortable. Unconsciously, her previously stiff and tense figure gradually softened. But at this moment, the unconscious Hao¡¯er¡¯s eyelids trembled and he opened his eyes. ¡°Mother ¡­ Mother ¡­¡± Hao¡¯er murmured, his gaze sweeping across the main hall, searching for traces of his mother. Because before he passed out, he had seen his mother coughing up blood after being struck by a ck-robed cultivator. However, when his eyes fell upon a corner of the main hall, his pale face immediately flushed red. Then it turned from red to purple, from purple to green. ¡°Mother ¡­ Mother!¡± ¡°You ¡­ you ¡­¡± ¡°Ah, bas¡ª bastard, ah!¡± Pfu! Hao¡¯er felt a sweetness in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He fell unconscious once more. [Ding! Host has embraced Zhao Shirou and was seen by Li Hao, causing a mental copse. He passed out again. You have plundered 2000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 2000 VPs!] The system voice rang out. Yang Chen was stunned for a moment. Well well. Even the death of Li Zhan, the father of this protagonist, only yielded 2,000 points. This protective instinct was astonishing. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou also noticed Hao¡¯er. Her face immediately flushed red. Just now, she had been seen by Hao¡¯er. How utterly shameful. Unbearable. Zhao Shirou hurriedly pushed Yang Chen away, shooting him an angry re with her beautiful eyes. Then she rushed over to Hao¡¯er¡¯s side. ¡°Hao¡¯er, wake up!¡± *** ¡°Hao¡¯er, wake up!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was anxious, her charming face full of worry. Yang Chen walked over, taking a look and reassuring her: ¡°Lady Zhao, Hao¡¯er is fine! He merely coughed up blood and passed out again!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± Zhao Shirou red at Yang Chen, her eyes full of vexation. However,pared to before, there was less killing intent, but more embarrassment. Perhaps it was because she herself could not bring herself to kill him. After all, during that previous embrace, she seemed to have enjoyed it somewhat as well. Hahaha. This woman, although her words resisted strongly, her body was being a bit more honest. She had cultivated alone for hundreds of years after all. Moreover, the Primordial Fire within Yang Chen seemed to have an unexpected attractive force on her Profound Yin physique. Yang Chen sent Zhao Shirou and Hao¡¯er back to her pce.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The Liyang Royal Pce was in chaos at this point. Although Yang Chen had ordered against indiscriminate ughter, The news of the Li Zhan¡¯s death had still spread. And the Nascent Soul cultivators of the royal family had all been killed. Only one First stage Nascent Soul cultivator remained, and he was under control. Temporarily, the pce was without direction. Many eunuchs and maids were fleeing in panic, carrying away gold, silver and jewels as they escaped the pce. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 However, Yang Chen did not bother with these trivial matters. Xu Hui could take care of that. ¡°Lady Zhao, this is a healing pill! It¡¯s quite effective, quickly take it!¡± Yang Chen took out a white pill and brought it towards Zhao Shirou¡¯s mouth. But Zhao Shirou turned her head away, her red lips tightly formationed. After all, the recent events were still fresh in her mind. She did not want to follow in her master¡¯s footsteps. Who knew if this fellow had poisoned the pill for her? ¡°Rest assured, it¡¯s not poisoned!¡± Seeing her wariness, Yang Chen said seriously: ¡°Li Tengshen had reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm, killing him was no easy task, so I had to resort to this scheme! In fact, I am a very upright and forthright person! Others all call me the modest gentleman, a paragon of righteousness!¡± Pah! ¡°Stop disgusting me!¡± Zhao Shirou spat out disdainfully, a hint of blush on her face. But in the end, her red lips parted slightly as she prepared to take the pill from Yang Chen¡¯s hand and put it in her mouth. However, seeing those tempting red lips, a hint of amusement curved Yang Chen¡¯s lips. Then, he pinched the pill with his fingers and directly fed it into her mouth. ¡°Ah! Umm! You!¡± Zhao Shirou was instantly stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with embarrassed indignation. This bastard actually put his fingers into her mouth! How vile! Truly disgusting!@@novelbin@@ Zhao Shirou wanted to spit it out immediately. But as soon as the pill entered her mouth, it dissolved into a stream of medicinal qi. She could only shoot Yang Chen an angry re before crossing her legs and absorbing it. The injuries on her body rapidly recovered. In a moment, Zhao Shirou¡¯splexion regained some rosiness, appearing even more alluringly beautiful. Meanwhile, Yang Chen wiped the moisture from his fingers and began toying with a red jade seal in his other hand. The jade seal was deep red, carved with a few life-like crimson dragon patterns. Holding it, one could feel a scorching heat emanating from it. Furthermore, through this jade seal, there was a faint sense of having the entire capital of Liyang under one¡¯s control. This was the hereditary Jade Seal of the Liyang Royal Family! It contained the umted luck of the Liyang dynasty over tens of thousands of years! And it had been nourished on the Dragon Vein for thousands of years! Dragon Vein was the term used for a country¡¯s spiritualndscape. In cultivation sects, it was called a Spirit Vein. The capital of Liyang was situated atop such a Spirit Vein. And the Liyang Royal Pce was built at the most auspicious location on this vein. This was the fundamental reason why the royal family was always stronger than the other major cultivating ns. And after being nurtured by the Liyang Royal Family for tens of thousands of years, this Jade Seal had developed a spirit. Aside from the Li family bloodline, no one else could activate it. Yang Chen tried a few times, but there was no effect. ¡°Don¡¯t bother! Only those of the Li bloodline can activate this Jade Seal! You should just return it to Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou, who had walked over, said. Within the Liyang Royal Pce, this Jade Seal was the most precious treasure. Only with this Jade Seal could one truly and properly im the title of Lord of Liyang. However, Yang Chen did not intend to hand the Jade Seal over to Hao¡¯er. Because he had a feeling that this Jade Seal would be of great use to him. Yang Chen recalled the dragon¡¯s spine he had obtained from killing ¡®Ye Yun¡¯ previously. He took it out without hesitating. Roar! A muffled draconic howl emanated from the dragon¡¯s spine. A golden dragon silhouette appeared, encircling the dragon¡¯s spine. At the same time, the crimson Jade Seal seemed to be affected by the dragon¡¯s spine, emitting draconic howls as crimson light radiated from it! ¡°What is this thing? A dragon bone?¡± On the side, Zhao Shirou¡¯s pupils dted as she sensed an overwhelming pressure descending upon her. She could not help but want to kneel down. But having recovered some of her cultivation, she resisted this pressure with difficulty. Yet beads of sweat still formed on her fair forehead. ¡°Indeed, it is a dragon¡¯s bone! Previously I was puzzled over how to refine it, but now I suddenly have a direction!¡± Yang Chen said slowly, a hint of a smile on his lips. When he first obtained this divine dragon¡¯s spine, he did not immediately refine it because he still had remnants of the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower¡¯s qi within his body. But during this period, he had basically absorbed all of that flower¡¯s qi already. He had previously attempted to refine the dragon¡¯s spine once before. But he always felt a sense of rejection between his body and the dragon¡¯s spine. After all, the dragon¡¯s spine contained the essence of a divine dragon. To directly refine it into the human body, it was best to have a guiding medium. The ideal guiding medium would be dragon¡¯s blood. But there were no dragon races in the Northern Spiritual Realm. However, this Jade Seal contained the umted luck of Liyang, worth tens of thousands of years. The crimson dragon within, though a dragon of fortune, could still be considered a type of dragon. Yang Chen had read in ancient texts that in primordial times, there was a realm spanning hundreds of millions of miles that had a hereditary dynastysting over a hundred thousand years. The hereditary Jade Seal of that dynasty umted the realm¡¯s luck over those hundreds of thousands of years. Eventually, the dragon of fortune actually transformed into a substantial golden dragon! It even gave birth to its own consciousness, bing a true dragon with bloodline power far surpassing that of ordinary dragon races! In other words, a luck dragon and the dragon race were ultimately one and the same! The dragon of fortune within Liyang¡¯s Jade Seal could serve as the guiding medium for Yang Chen to refine the divine dragon¡¯s spine! Yang Chen sent a message to Yan Jiu, instructing him to finish devouring Li Tengshen¡¯s soul ande over quickly. The refinement of the dragon¡¯s spine would undoubtedly be a long process, so Yang Chen needed someone to protect him while he cultivated. This person could not possibly be Zhao Shirou, as this woman had not been fully subdued yet. At the Converging Dragon Pool within the Liyang Royal Pce, the core of the Spirit Vein running under the capital city. Spiritual qi swirled into misty clouds that hovered in mid-air, resembling the dwelling of immortals. Beneath the clouds was a pool. The water in the pool had a pale golden hue. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 ¡°Unexpectedly, the Liyang Royal Family had already produced the dragon¡¯s saliva!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes showed a hint of shock. Fortune Dragon¡¯s saliva was a divine substance that could only slowly umte once a dynasty¡¯s Fortune reached an immense level. For it to produce Hao¡¯er, the protagonist, the Liyang Royal Family¡¯s Fortune was indeed formidable. The manifestation of Dragon of Fortune¡¯s saliva was normal under such circumstances. If he, this great viin, had not appeared, all of this should have belonged to Hao¡¯er, the protagonist. But now ¡­ since Hao¡¯er was still unconscious, he, as the stepfather, would enjoy these things on Hao¡¯er¡¯s behalf ¡­ ¡°Yan Jiu, you protect me while I cultivate! Kill anyone who dares to barge in!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Yan Jiu dispersed into a ck mist once more. Yang Chen immersed himself in the pool water and took out the Liyang jade Seal. He began forcibly absorbing the Fortune dragon qi within. A crimson dragon silhouette struggled, unwilling, howling in defiance against Yang Chen¡¯s absorption. But upon encountering Yang Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Heavenly mes, the dragon¡¯s howls instantly turned into wails of grief. Even a Fortune dragon was no match for the Primordial Fire born from Heaven and Earth! Thread after thread of crimson dragon qi was absorbed by Yang Chen from the Jade Seal. His body gradually turned crimson in color, with a crimson dragon silhouette coiling around him. [Ding! Host has absorbed the Dragon of Fortune and its saliva from the Liyang Jade Seal, plundering 4000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 4000 Viinous points!] ¡°It¡¯s time!¡± Looking at the now-white jade Seal, Yang Chen tossed it aside.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After ten days of absorption, the Fortune dragon qi within had beenpletely absorbed by him, and the pale golden hue in the pool had also disappeared. Then, Yang Chen took out the divine dragon¡¯s spine and began fusing it into his body. This time, because he had the Fortune dragon as a guiding medium, there was much less rejection from his body. The dragon¡¯s spine slowly merged into Yang Chen¡¯s spine, turning his entire body golden. The blood in his body became increasingly turbulent. Roar! A draconic howl resounded. A golden dragon silhouette shot towards the heavens. An intense draconic might permeated everywhere. The entire capital was enveloped under this draconic pressure. Countless cultivators and mortals directly kneeled on the ground. Even within the pce, people dropped to their knees everywhere. In Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, Hao¡¯er¡¯s face was contorted, forcibly supporting his body to avoid kneeling. ¡°Bastard! Damned Yang Chen!¡± Hao¡¯er cursed inwardly. He knew that only that scoundrel Yang Chen could cause such amotion. He had killed Hao¡¯er¡¯s royal father and ancestor, virtually wiping out all the Li family¡¯s Nascent Soul cultivators. And now he wanted Hao¡¯er to kneel as well. He would rather die than kneel! But Hao¡¯er¡¯s cultivation was far too weak, only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Straining to endure, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Seeing his state, Zhao Shirou hurriedly waved her jade hand, alleviating much of the pressure on Hao¡¯er. Seeing his mother¡¯s concerned look, Hao¡¯er felt moved. But recalling the scene he witnessed before passing out previously, a surge of heartache and madness welled up within him. So he could not help but ask: ¡°Mother, what exactly is your rtionship with Yang Chen?¡± Hearing this, Zhao Shirou was taken aback, a hint of panic shing in her eyes. But sensing the deeply suppressed fury in Hao¡¯er¡¯s gaze, Zhao Shirou knew that if she told him the truth, he would surely do something irrational that would endanger himself. So she sighed and said softly: ¡°Hao¡¯er, ours is simply an ordinary cooperative rtionship! I agreed that Liyang would continue obeying the Xuantian Sect¡¯s orders from now on, and he promised to let you inherit the position of Lord! There¡¯s nothing else to it!¡± ¡°Really, Mother?¡± Doubt filled Hao¡¯er¡¯s eyes. After all, on that day he had personally witnessed Yang Chen, that bastard, embracing his mother. And his mother did not resist. Could it be that his memories had be muddled? Uncertainty filled Hao¡¯er¡¯s heart. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true! When have I ever lied to you, Hao¡¯er?¡± Zhao Shirou gently stroked Hao¡¯er¡¯s head and said softly. Hearing this, Hao¡¯er¡¯s expression rxed somewhat as he temporarily set this matter aside. Hopefully he had simply overthought it. *** At this moment. In the State Preceptor¡¯s residence. ¡°Such a powerful dragon¡¯s majesty, even I, a great Nascent Soul realm cultivator, have an urge to kneel down! Could the Liyang royal family still have hidden experts? From such a far distance, this kind of oppressive aura, even Soul Transformation cultivators can¡¯t achieve it, right?¡± The patriarchs of the several major cultivating families in the Liyang capital were holding a meeting at the State Preceptor¡¯s residence, and they were all stunned at this moment. They were afraid that this oppressive aura was released by a powerful expert from the Liyang royal family. After all, they had plundered a lot of resources from the royal family. ¡°Everyone, please rest assured, the Holy Son is currently in closed-door cultivation in the pce. This oppressive aura should be from the Holy Son!¡± At this time, Xu Hui came over and said slowly. There was a hint of arrogance in his tone. After all, from now on, the status of the State Preceptor¡¯s residence in Liyang could only be described as paramount. And he, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Third Stage, had also be the strongest cultivator in Liyang. ¡°State Preceptor, you mean this oppressive aura is from the Holy Son?¡± ¡°The Holy Son is so terrifying!?¡± ¡°This dragon¡¯s majesty surpasses the Liyang royal family by a thousand times!¡± ¡°Could it be that the Holy Son has the true dragon¡¯s body?¡± The several patriarchs all looked astonished. The true dragon¡¯s body was a legendary physique. It was said that humans with the true dragon¡¯s body could be on par with true dragons! Just relying on their physical body, they could be invincible at the same level and dominate the world! ¡°I don¡¯t know either!¡± Xu Hui shook his head. But his heart was also in turmoil. After all, the Holy Son had given him too many shocks. One must know that the Holy Son was not even fifty years old. Yet his strength was far stronger than theirs, these old fellows who had cultivated for hundreds or nearly a thousand years. Such a talent, it was truly terrifying. Simply monstrous. However, this was also a good thing. After all, the stronger the Holy Son was, the stronger the Xuantian Sect would be in the future. And his position as an Inner Sect Elder would be higher. At this moment, a resounding phoenix cry suddenly echoed throughout the State Preceptor¡¯s residence. An azure phoenix image appeared in the sky above the State Preceptor¡¯s residence, as if about to spread its wings and soar into the nine heavens. Strands of blue light radiated a captivating chill. ¡°This is ¡­ Xu Qingxuan¡¯s Ice Phoenix Bloodline has awakened!¡± Xu Hui was stunned, then excited. Qingxuan, this girl, inherited her mother¡¯s ice phoenix bloodline. But it had never been awakened. Now, influenced by the dragon¡¯s majesty released by the Holy Son, her ice phoenix bloodline had awakened. Beside them, the several Nascent Soul cultivators all looked shocked and envious. ¡°State Preceptor, congrattions! Miss Qingxuan has awakened her Ice Phoenix bloodline; her future prospects are limitless!¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, the State Preceptor¡¯s wife is from the Ice Snow City (Bingxue Gucheng), right!¡± Chapter 80 Chapter 80 ¡°Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, a primordial ice phoenix descended upon the Ice Snow Ancient City, and since then, the cultivators of the Ice Snow Ancient City have possessed the ice phoenix bloodline!¡± ¡°It was only by relying on the ice phoenix bloodline that the Ice Snow Ancient City was able to produce several Soul Transformation cultivators and be a top-tier force!¡± ¡°However, even in the Ice Snow Ancient City, those who can awaken the ice phoenix bloodline are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and can be counted on one¡¯s fingers!¡± ¡°With Miss Qingxuan awakening her ice phoenix bloodline now, if she goes to the Ice Snow Ancient City, her status will be extraordinary!¡± ¡°However, Miss Qingxuan has a marriage agreement with the Holy Son Li(yang) Hao, and the fifteenth of this month is the day, the Holy Son¡¯s enthronement ceremony. I wonder if she will be directly proimed as the Queen at that time?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°If Miss Qingxuan bes the Queen of Liyang, it would be a pity if she stays in Liyang in the future!¡± The several patriarchs said. But they were somewhat worried in their hearts. After all, the ice phoenix bloodline was no ordinary bloodline. In the Ice Snow Ancient City, there were not a few cultivators with the ice phoenix bloodline. But due to the tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the ice phoenix bloodline in the bodies of the Ice Snow Ancient City cultivators had be extremely diluted. So, many cultivators possessed the ice phoenix bloodline, but could rarely awaken it in their lifetime. And once awakened, they would soar to new heights. In the future, they would have a great chance to be Soul Transformation cultivators. If they had a Soul Transformation cultivator as a daughter, not to mention whether Xu Hui would walk sideways or not. For the Liyang royal family to have a Queen with Soul Transformation cultivation, it would absolutely be a nightmare for their several families. ¡°Fellow Daoists, you can continue chatting. I¡¯ll take my leave first!¡± At this time, Xu Hui suddenly said, and then hurriedly flew towards Xu Qingxuan¡¯s courtyard. He needed to help his daughter protect her cultivation, preventing her from being disturbed. Seeing him leave in a hurry, the several Nascent Soul patriarchs spoke more openly. ¡°Do you think Xu Hui will let his daughter be the Queen of Liyang?¡± ¡°If his daughter bes the Queen of Liyang, and the strength of the Liyang royal family far surpasses our several families in the future, then won¡¯t all our efforts today be in vain?¡± ¡°Brother Zhao, I think you¡¯re overthinking it!¡± ¡°Oh? What does Brother Li mean?¡± ¡°From what I know, Xu Hui has already made his precious daughter a personal maid for the Xuantian Holy Son. Now that she has awakened her ice phoenix bloodline, she might even be the concubine of that Holy Son in the future. How could she be the Queen of Liyang?¡± ¡°What? Be the woman of the Xuantian Holy Son?¡± ¡°No wonder Xu Hui is so arrogant now!¡± ¡°However, from what I know, this Holy Son has a rather special rtionship with the Noble Consort, the mother of Crown Prince Li Hao ¡­¡± ¡°It is said that the reason why Li Hao became the Crown Prince and heir apparent was because of this Noble Consort ¡­¡± As these words came out, the several Nascent Soul patriarchs immediately looked at each other with suggestive expressions. ¡°It seems this Holy Son is really blessed!¡± ¡°But it¡¯s a pity for the new ruler Li Hao!¡± ¡°His mother and his future wife, all taken by this Holy Son, hahaha!¡± A few dayster. In the Liyang Pce. A grand enthronement ceremony was held. The Crown Prince Li Hao officially ascended the throne as the new King. Almost all the major forces in Liyang attended. Even some neighboring cultivating forces of Liyang, such as the Qingling Sect, sent envoys with congrattory gifts. Although almost all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liyang royal family had been killed, with only one Nascent Soul cultivator at the First stage surviving, Li Hao, this ninth prince, was able to ascend the throne as the new king, all thanks to the support of the Xuantian Holy Son. Even if they didn¡¯t give face to the royal family, they had to give face to the Xuantian Sect. So, all the major forces came. The scene was quite magnificent. On the high tform, Li Hao, donning a dragon robe, held a white jade seal in his hands. He began to pay respects to his ancestors. Although bing the ruler of Liyang had been his long-cherished dream, Li Hao¡¯s heart was filled with anger and killing intent at this moment. The Liyang Jade Seal, which had umted the dynastic fortune of Liyang for tens of thousands of years, originally had the Dragon of Fortune formed within it. But now, it had be an ordinary jade stone. The Dragon of Fortune within it hadpletely disappeared. Bastard! This damned mutt! Li Hao cursed inwardly. That scoundrel Yang Chen had actuallypletely refined and absorbed the Dragon of Fortune that should have belonged to him. Damn it! Li Hao had activated the bloodline inheritance of the Li ancestors and even awakened his bloodline¡¯s heritage powers. He knew many secret arts, including ones rted to dynastic fortune. He could fuse the dynastic fortune into his own body, thereby transforming it into cultivation. Originally, the Liyang Jade Seal had umted tens of thousands of years of dynastic fortune. If he absorbed it for his cultivation, he could reach the Nascent Soul realm within five years. And within fifty years, he would have the hope of bing a Soul Transformation cultivator. But now, it had all been absorbed by that bastard Yang Chen without a trace left behind. All that was left for him was this broken stone. Yang Chen you son of a bitch! I will kill you sooner orter to avenge my father, the King! Li Hao cursed Yang Chen repeatedly in his heart. But he stillpleted the enthronement ceremony rituals. After all, this was his coronation ceremony. It announced that he had be the ruler of Liyang. Although he had lost the Dragon of Fortune, Li Hao believed that with his kingly aptitude, he would definitely build Liyang into an eternal dynasty in the future. Once he seeded in his cultivation, he would definitely torture and slice that bastard Yang Chen into a thousand pieces. Make the Xuantian Sect disappear from this world in a river of blood. As for these people below, they would all die by then! Li Hao withdrew the ferocious look from his face and turned to face the crowd below the high tform. Although only at the Foundation Establishment realm, his kingly aura was undoubtedly manifesting. His tiger-like eyes were bright and full of spirit, his face imposing without anger, possessing the solemn dignity of a ruler. And by his side, Zhao Shirou in her phoenix robes, though her beautiful face could not conceal her bewitching charm, her entire being emanated a noble and elegant aura, possessing the bearing of the mother of all under heaven! The current Zhao Shirou was no longer the Noble Consort, but the Queen Dowager! The mother of the nation! However, as the grand ceremony proceeded, the sun gradually set. Zhao Shirou¡¯s face gradually became stiff. Chapter 81 Chapter 81 For as the moon rose, like a golden disk, what seemed poetic to others was painfully chilling for her. Her body felt as if being frozen rigid. And this time, it was even more intense than before. Frost gradually appeared on Zhao Shirou¡¯s exquisitely made-up cheeks. With every breath, cold air pervaded, directly causing a pce maid beside her to shiver. But she still forcibly endured it. Until the ceremonial rites to Heaven werepleted and she had received the congrattions of the major forces of Liyang, Zhao Shirou hurriedly left the high tform and went to her own pce.@@novelbin@@ In the past, every time the full moon rose, the Profound Yin qi in her body would start acting up. Her body would gradually freeze, like a shard of Profound Ice, even losing consciousness and falling into aatose state. Therefore, she had set up a formation in her pce that could condense yang qi to counteract the yin qi of the full moon, alleviating her symptoms somewhat. But as soon as she entered the pce, a voiceced with slight yfulness and familiarity sounded from behind her: ¡°This humble one greets the Noble Consort! Oh no, I misspoke. Congrattions to the Queen Dowager! Congrattions to the Queen Dowager for realizing her wish and bing the mother of the nation!¡± *** Hearing that familiar yet slightly yful voice from behind, Zhao Shirou¡¯s delicate body trembled. She hurriedly turned around. A handsome face with a mischievous smile appeared in her eyes. ¡°Yang Chen! Why are you here?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was tinged with panic. Yang Chen had been in seclusion recently and hadn¡¯t appeared. She had gradually forgotten their previous agreement. But now, seeing Yang Chen, she was suddenly reminded that she had agreed to be this scoundrel¡¯s Daopanion. His sudden appearance could only mean one thing. Yang Chen looked at her, his lips curling with amusement. ¡°I¡¯vee to congratte the Queen Dowager! Earlier, on the high tform, your dignified and noble demeanor as the Mother of the Nation was so mesmerizing that I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off you! Now that we have a moment alone, I naturally want to personally congratte you!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense! Cough, cough!¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help but cough, cold air escaping her mouth along with bits of ice. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to discuss this with you! I need to activate the formation immediately! If you¡¯re fine, then please leave quickly!¡± As she spoke, Zhao Shirou waved her delicate hand, and a formation appeared within the pce. Several beams of light shone, gathering a crimson glow that raised the temperature in the hall significantly. However, it still couldn¡¯t suppress the cold aura emanating from her body. The sh of hot and cold made Zhao Shirou shiver, and ayer of frost began to form on her face. ¡°The Queen Dowager seems to be in great difort! Is it because of the full moon night that the yin qi in your body is rampant? Do you need my help to remove it?¡± Yang Chen spoke quietly, his gaze fixed on her. ¡°Shut up! I don¡¯t need you!¡± Zhao Shirou red at him, her eyes filled with caution. Although she knew Yang Chen could help her expel the yin qi, it required the union of a man and a woman. Even though she had agreed to be his Daopanion, she would neverpromise unless absolutely necessary. Especially now, when her son had just ascended the throne and was still receiving the court¡¯s obeisance. As his mother and now the Queen Dowager, how could she possibly do such a thing in the rear pce with this scoundrel? No, she had to endure it. She couldn¡¯t let him see her falter. ¡°Yang Chen, you should leave! I don¡¯t like anyone around when I¡¯m suppressing the yin qi!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice trembled. When the Yin qi in her body became uncontroble, she sometimes fainted from the cold. This time was worse than usual. The moon had just risen, and she was still conscious. She worried that if the cold intensified and she fainted, Yang Chen might take advantage of her. Yang Chenughed at her words. ¡°Queen Dowager, I am your Daopanion! How can I leave you in this state? I¡¯ll stay and take care of you! What do you say?¡± ¡°You scoundrel!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyebrows knitted together in anger and frustration, but she had no choice. The Yin qi inside her grew colder. She quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, using the fire attribute qi gathered by the formation to alleviate her symptoms. Whoosh! With each breath, cold air spread from Zhao Shirou¡¯s mouth. The pce started to frost over, with ice flowers blooming everywhere. Despite the formation that gathered fire attribute qi, the entire hall quickly turned into an ice chamber. But Yang Chen remained unaffected by the cold. Watching Zhao Shirou¡¯sbored breathing, he observed with interest. ¡°Bing the Queen Dowager has truly made you more noble! Let¡¯s see how long you can hold on!¡± Cultivators with a Yin body can progress quickly but suffer greatly from the cold. Zhao Shirou had practiced the Triple Yin Convergence Technique, storing arge amount of Yin qi in her body, making the cold even more intense and the pain more unbearable. The moon in the sky grew brighter, outshining the stars. Frost formed on Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyebrows and hair as another half-hour passed. The pce floor was covered in a thickyer of ice. Yang Chen felt a bit cold and activated his internal fire, releasing a wave of heat. Because of Yang Chen¡¯s presence, Zhao Shirou barely remained conscious. She instinctively wanted to embrace the warmth but resisted. ¡°Damn it! He¡¯s definitely doing this on purpose!¡± Zhao Shirou cursed in her heart. ¡°Queen Dowager, tonight is special. The Yin qi in your body isn¡¯t just influenced by the moon; it seems to be ready to erupt all at once. If that happens, you might not just faint¡ªyou could die from the cold!¡± Yang Chen spoke calmly. Zhao Shirou was stunned. She felt the unusual turbulence within her. The three main acupuncture points storing Yin qi were trembling as if they would explode. If the Yin qi erupted, she would be doomed. Damn it! Zhao Shirou opened her beautiful eyes, seeing Yang Chen¡¯s yful expression. ¡°Queen Dowager, I told you I could help remove the Yin qi. Anytime you need. But you have toe to me willingly.¡± ¡°You ¡­ scoundrel! I don¡¯t need you!¡± Zhao Shirou gritted her teeth, forcing herself to endure. She knew Yang Chen was doing this on purpose, trying to see her submit. As moments passed, a sudden surge of yin qi erupted from her body. One of the acupuncture points couldn¡¯t hold it anymore, releasing a torrent of Yin qi. ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Shirou shuddered violently, coughing up blood mixed with ice shards. ¡°Queen Dowager, time is running out! If you don¡¯te over, you really might die!¡± Yang Chen hurriedly said. ¡°You are despicable!¡± Zhao Shirou red at him, unwilling yet sensing death approaching. She finally gave in, extending her arms to embrace Yang Chen. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Hiss! Yang Chen inhaled sharply at the intense cold. ¡°Queen Dowager, remember, you embraced me willingly!¡± With Zhao Shirou trembling in his arms, Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved into a smile. After tonight, he would officially be Li Hao¡¯s stepfather. Li Hao, would you be happy when you get to know? In the pce hall, spring returned as birds chirped, while outside, the full moon hung in the sky like a golden disk. On the high tform of the royal pce, Li Hao¡¯s enthronement ceremony had finally concluded. The guests were gradually departing, and Li Hao felt relieved. The ceremony had gone smoothly without any objections. As the ninth prince, he had eight elder brothers, all of whom had once coveted the throne. But tonight, they all respectfully addressed him as His Majesty. At least they were sensible. Otherwise ¡­ as a ruler, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to act against them. Li Hao¡¯s gaze fell upon the State Preceptor¡¯s residence, where a tall, graceful figure sat among the guests. Under the moonlight, she resembled an immortal from the Moon Pce¡ªcold and aloof, evoking reverence. ¡°Qingxuan¡¯s Ice Phoenix bloodline has awakened?¡± Li Hao¡¯s eyes widened with a burning intensity. His bloodline, inherited from his ancestors, allowed him to sense the Ice Phoenix bloodline. ¡°If Qingxuan and I practice dual cultivation, my realm would advance by leaps and bounds! Qingxuan must be my Queen!¡± Li Hao¡¯s eyes were fixed on Xu Qingxuan. Sensing his gaze, Xu Qingxuan turned, her face cold yet with a hint of disdain in her smile. ¡°Damn it! What does she mean by that expression?¡± Li Hao clenched his fists in anger. It must be because of that time Yang Chen forced him to kneel. Damn it. It had to be. Yang Chen, that bastard, humiliated him in front of Qingxuan. But no matter what Qingxuan thought of him, he had to have her. The dual cultivation method he had awakened was incredibly profound. No one could resist its allure. Thinking of the dual cultivation technique, Li Hao regained his confidence. It was a method of supreme creation that elerated a cultivator¡¯s progress, albeit with high requirements. The man must possess the royal dragon qi, and the woman the Phoenix blood. He and Xu Qingxuan were a perfect match. Determined, Li Hao approached Xu Qingxuan. ¡°Qingxuan! Long time no see!¡± Li Hao smiled, trying to appear gentle. The onlookers bowed respectfully, ¡°Greetings, Your Majesty!¡± Li Hao nodded in satisfaction. But Xu Qingxuan frowned, impatiently asking, ¡°What do you want?¡± Li Hao was displeased with her attitude but suppressed his anger.@@novelbin@@ ¡°Qingxuan, I have something to discuss with you privately. Can we talk over there?¡± ¡°Fine,¡± Xu Qingxuan agreed, albeit reluctantly. She respected the Holy Son¡¯s decision to appoint Li Hao as the ruler of Liyang Kingdom, so she followed him to a secluded spot. ¡°Qingxuan, you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e. I hope you¡¯ll honor our engagement and be my Queen!¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s lips curled with disdain. ¡°If that¡¯s all you have to say, I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°Wait, Qingxuan! I have a technique that perfectlyplements your Phoenix bloodline!¡± Li Hao quickly inscribed the dual cultivation technique onto a jade slip and handed it to her. Xu Qingxuan took it without hesitation and left. Watching her elegant silhouette, Li Hao couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard. ¡°Hmph, once you realize the profundity of this technique, you¡¯ll seek me out for dual cultivation! Then, you¡¯ll submitpletely to my crotch!¡± As the banquet ended, a young man approached Li Hao, bowing respectfully. ¡°Your Majesty, do you know where the Queen Dowager is? As thete King¡¯s offspring, we should pay our respects to her.¡± Li Hao¡¯s eyes narrowed. He knew his mother had left earlier, likely due to her condition. Every full moon night, she suffered from intense cold. Tonight was no exception. He looked at the young man¡ªhis second brother, Li Jun, with a Golden Core realm cultivation, the strongest among the princes. It was rumored that their father had intended to make him crown prince. But seeing Li Jun¡¯s respectful demeanor, Li Hao believed he no longer coveted the throne. ¡°The Queen Dowager is unwell and has retired to her chambers. You can pay your respects tomorrow.¡± ¡°Understood,¡± Li Jun replied respectfully, though a flicker of something crossed his eyes as he bowed. Li Hao nced at his brothers before heading towards Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce. He was worried about his mother, knowing she was alone, battling the cold. *** As soon as Li Hao left, Li Jun¡¯s face turned ice cold. His eyes were full of murderous intent. ¡°Second Brother, Father had nned to make you the Crown Prince before his death!¡± ¡°Who would have thought that in the end, it was Li Hao who ascended the throne!¡± ¡°From now on, our days will be difficult!¡± Several princes walked over to Li Jun, all looking worried. When Li Hao was still considered useless, they often bullied him. Now that he had be the ruler, with his vengeful nature, it was certain he would settle scores with each of them. At this moment, someone said helplessly: ¡°This can¡¯t be helped. Li Hao has the support of Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son!¡± ¡°Now, Xuantian Sect is like our ancestor. Even if they put a dog on the throne, no one would oppose it!¡± ¡°We should just keep our heads down from now on.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Li Jun snorted coldly at these words. ¡°It¡¯s only because that consort seduced Xuantian¡¯s Holy Son!¡± ¡°Rumor has it that she tipped off the Holy Son, leading to the deaths of our ancestor and Father! Li Hao ascending the throne is the greatest shame for our Li family! Just wait, one day I will reim everything that belongs to me!¡± Li Jun¡¯s voice was icy, his gaze fixed northward. Once everyone left, Li Jun returned to his residence. A woman in pce attire stood in the courtyard. Upon seeing her, Li Jun¡¯s face lit up with excitement. ¡°Mother, you¡¯re back! What did the Wind Thunder Sect say?¡± The woman, Li Jun¡¯s mother and a female cultivator married into the Li family from Wind Thunder Sect, turned to him with a loving smile. ¡°Jun¡¯er, I have persuaded the Grand Elder. He is willing to help you seize the throne personally!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Li Jun¡¯s excitement was palpable. The woman gently stroked his head and said softly, ¡°The Grand Elder is my master. His words are as good as gold. A Nascent Soul realm cultivator intervening, no one can stop him. Even the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect is no match for him. Rest assured, Jun¡¯er, I will help you reim the throne.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mother!¡± Li Jun eximed, overjoyed. Meanwhile, in Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, themotion from an hour ago had gradually quieted down. The ethereal image of the green lotus had slowly faded, and the ice throughout the pce was melting. Zhao Shirouy in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, her beautiful eyes half-closed, her cheeks flushed. ¡°Queen Dowager, I have removed about one-third of the Profound Yin Qi. You should be feeling better now. If you still feel cold, let me know, and I can help again.¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Zhao Shirou slowly opened her eyes, filled with daze and tenderness, followed by a deep blush. ¡°Don¡¯t ¡­ don¡¯t call me Queen Dowager. It feels strange.¡± Her tone softened, losing the earlier sternness, now filled with shyness and a hint of vulnerability. Yang Chen¡¯s throat tightened at her enchanting demeanor, but heposed himself and asked seriously, ¡°If I don¡¯t call you Queen Dowager, what should I call you?¡± ¡°Just ¡­ call me by my name,¡± Zhao Shirou whispered. ¡°Your name? Zhao Shirou?¡± ¡°You can call me Rou¡¯er,¡± she said softly, her face turning red. Only her master had ever called her by that name, and letting Yang Chen use it carried a different significance. ¡°Rou¡¯er?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 So, she had finally yielded? It reminded him of a philosopher¡¯s saying that the quickest way to a woman¡¯s heart is ¡­ some-thing. Especially with his fused Dragon Spine.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°From now on, I will call you Rou¡¯er, and you can call me Brother Chen,¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°Brother Chen?¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help butugh, her face glowing with allure. Yang Chen raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction, ¡°Why are youughing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated for hundreds of years. Calling you Brother Chen, when you¡¯re only in your forties, makes you a little kid in my eyes!¡± ¡°A little kid?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You dare call me a little kid? Watch how I deal with you!¡± ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Zhao Shirou was flustered, seeing the intense look in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, a wave of true qi surged from Yang Chen¡¯s body. ¡°Not good, I¡¯m about to break through!¡± Sensing the restless qi within, Yang Chen immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on stabilizing his cultivation. He was at the Fifth stage of Nascent Soul realm, but the benefits from absorbing a third of Zhao Shirou¡¯s Profound Yin Qi pushed him closer to the Sixth stage. Zhao Shirou, a vessel nurtured for a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator, held a massive amount of Profound Yin Qi. Even a third of it was enough for Yang Chen to advance by one level. With a burst of qi, a green lotus formed on Yang Chen¡¯s body, surrounded by a coiling golden dragon. Zhao Shirou watched, mesmerized, as his aura surpassed hers, despite his lower cultivation stage. It exined how he could defeat her with a single strike before. ¡°This guy, despicable and shameless as he is, has incredible strength! At the Fifth stage, he could defeat me, a Seventh stage cultivator. Now, at the Sixth stage, he could contend with a Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivator!¡± Admiration and affection welled up in Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyes. After cultivating alone for centuries, she never thought she¡¯d experience love again. Yet, this man forced his way into her heart. Perhaps it was destiny. He did save her life. Without him, her master would have absorbed her as a cauldron long ago. His ws were minor inparison. She could help him correct them over time. Yang Chen¡¯s breakthrough was swift. The green lotus and golden dragon returned to his body as he stabilized his Sixth stage cultivation. At this moment, Li Hao arrived at Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, noticing the fading green-gold glow. Strange, is Mother cultivating?Li Hao thought. She told me she was at the Seventh stage of Nascent Soul realm, stronger than Father! I have great ambition, but my cultivation is still too low, only at Foundation Establishment realm. Mother¡¯s strength is a huge asset to help stabilize the kingdom and counterbnce that scoundrel Yang Chen! Thinking Zhao Shirou was cultivating, he hurried towards the pce. ¡°Mother!¡± Li Hao called. Inside, Zhao Shirou¡¯s face turned pale with panic. ¡°It¡¯s Hao¡¯er! What do I do?¡± She quickly got up, putting on her scattered phoenix robe. Yang Chen opened his eyes, a look of regret on his face. He had heard Li Hao¡¯s voice and sighed internally. Hao¡¯er, your timing is terrible. Why couldn¡¯t youe a bit earlier? I had a gift for you. Such a missed opportunity! Li Hao entered the pce, excitedly saying, ¡°Mother, are you alright? Were you cultivating? I sensed a powerful aura!¡± Seeing Zhao Shirou in her phoenix robe, he felt reassured. Her strength was crucial for his ns. But his expression quickly darkened upon seeing Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, what are you doing here?¡± Li Hao¡¯s voice was heavy with anger, his eyes shing with killing intent. Seeing Yang Chen reminded him of the hatred he harbored. This bastard killed his father, absorbed the Dragon of Fortune meant for him, and humiliated him before Xu Qingxuan, making him kneel before a nobody. His hatred for Yang Chen knew no bounds. Yang Chen felt Li Hao¡¯s murderous gaze but remainedposed, smiling warmly. ¡°Hao¡¯er, I¡¯m here discussing important matters with your mother.¡± However, hearing Yang Chen call him ¡°Hao¡¯er¡± made Li Hao explode with rage. ¡°Yang Chen, what did you just call me!?¡± *** Li Hao roared in fury upon hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a barely noticeable yful smile. Is Hao¡¯er angry? Hehe. I¡¯m your stepfather, you fool. If I don¡¯t call you Hao¡¯er, what should I call you? ¡°You bastard!¡± Li Hao¡¯s face twitched with rage, his eyes spewing venom. Hao¡¯er. That was a name only his father and mother could call him! This bastard, who the hell was he to dare call him Hao¡¯er! ¡°Hao¡¯er, do not be rude! Yang Chen is a friend of your mother¡¯s, and therefore an elder to you! How can you speak to him like that?¡± Zhao Shirou scolded at this moment. She was worried that Li Hao might provoke Yang Chen. After all, Li Hao¡¯s life and his ascension to the throne of Liyang were all thanks to Yang Chen¡¯s support. Moreover, Yang Chen, despite his gentle appearance, was quite ruthless inside. Even though she was now his Daopanion, she couldn¡¯t guarantee that he would always be lenient with Hao¡¯er. Hearing his mother scold him, Li Hao¡¯s face turned blue with anger, and his body trembled. But before he could say anything, Yang Chen smiled and said: ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay! Hao¡¯er is young and full of vigor, I understand! Hao¡¯er, even though Uncle Yang and your mother have not known each other for long, we share a deep bond. ¡°We¡¯ve be very close! Although we had some unpleasant moments before, Uncle Yang hopes you can forget those. From now on, we are family, no, we are one and the same! If you face any difficulties, just tell Uncle Yang, and he will surely help you!¡± ¡°Yang Chen, you damn bastard!¡± Li Hao growled through gritted teeth, fury zing in his heart as he heard Yang Chen repeatedly call himself Uncle Yang. He felt as if his lungs were about to explode. He wanted to smash Yang Chen¡¯s head with his palm and crush his brain, but deep inside, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness. His strength was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, far too weak to be Yang Chen¡¯s opponent. He could only re at Yang Chen like a wild beast about to go berserk, ready to pounce and bite. Chapter 84 Chapter 84 [Ding, the host has established himself as an elder and called himself Yang Shu, enraging Li Hao but leaving him helpless, damaging his mental state. The host has plundered 500 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 500 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice rang out. Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Five hundred points. Not much, but better than nothing. If only Hao¡¯er had been here for the most exciting part earlier, it would have been an even better show. Zhao Shirou also noticed the murderous intent in Li Hao¡¯s eyes and worried he might speak out of turn. So she took him to a side hall. ¡°Hao¡¯er, you must not speak to Yang Chen like that! You¡¯ve just ascended the throne and your position is unstable! If you anger him, the consequences could be disastrous!¡± Zhao Shirou said helplessly, hoping Hao¡¯er would understand the situation. But Li Hao asked sternly, ¡°Mother, what exactly is your rtionship with that bastard? Why is he in your pce?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s face stiffened, and she hesitated to speak. She wanted to tell Hao¡¯er the truth about her rtionship with Yang Chen but felt it was too difficult a topic to broach. She also feared Hao¡¯er wouldn¡¯t ept it. So, she said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, didn¡¯t I tell you earlier? We have a cooperative rtionship! Yang Chen wants Liyang to be under the absolute control of Xuantian Sect, and I demanded your ascension to the throne! We were discussing these matters just now!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Li Hao looked skeptical. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true! Do you not even trust your mother now?¡± Zhao Shirou sighed. ¡°Of course, I trust you, Mother! But Mother, Yang Chen is a despicable person. You must not let your guard down around him! I have a feeling he has ill intentions towards you!¡± Hearing this, Zhao Shirou¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes shed with panic and helplessness but she still said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, don¡¯t worry! Mother is ate Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if I can¡¯t beat him, I can still escape!¡± ¡°Alright, mother, but be careful! Give me a hundred years, and I will kill that bastard and avenge us!¡± Li Hao said fiercely. He was confident. Once Qingxuan saw the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method he provided, she wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. By then,bining this dual cultivation technique with his imperial bloodline, he was sure he could kill Yang Chen within a hundred years. But Zhao Shirou didn¡¯t take his words seriously, thinking he was just venting his anger. She knew best how powerful Yang Chen was. Hao¡¯er was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if he was highly talented, reaching the Nascent Soul realm within a hundred years would be quite good. By then, Yang Chen might have already advanced to the Soul Transformation realm, bing a formidable figure. The gap would only widen. ¡°Alright, Hao¡¯er! Mother understands! By the way, why did youe tonight?¡± Zhao Shirou asked. ¡°I just wanted to check if the yin qi on you has improved! It¡¯s good to see you¡¯re alright, mother!¡± Li Hao said. ¡°So that¡¯s it!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s face showed a trace offort. After all, Hao¡¯er, whom she had raised for decades, still cared about her and came to check on her. ¡°Mother is fine! The yin qi has been suppressed by Yang¡ªby me! Hao¡¯er, if there¡¯s nothing else, you should go back first! Mother and Yang Chen still have some things to discuss!¡± Zhao Shirou said gently. ¡°I ¡­¡± Li Hao hesitated. He felt something was off with his mother¡¯s eyes and tone today. But since his mother asked him to leave, he had no reason to stay. Besides, he had just ascended to the throne, and there were still many matters in the pce waiting to be dealt with. His mother was ate Nascent Soul cultivator, so Yang Chen shouldn¡¯t be able to harm her. Thinking this, Li Hao said, ¡°Alright, mother, I¡¯ll go back then! Take care!¡± After speaking, Li Hao left the side hall. ¡°Hao¡¯er, leaving already?¡± Yang Chen said in a host-like tone. Li Hao clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. ¡°Hmph!¡± He snorted and left the pce. Just wait, bastard. One day, I will cut you into a thousand pieces! ¡°Phew!¡± Zhao Shirou sighed in relief, but suddenly¡ª ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Shirou gasped as a pair of roguish hands wrapped around her slender waist from behind, gently caressing her. A tingling sensation spread through her body, almost making her lose her bnce. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn¡¯t resist. After all, she and Yang Chen were now Daopanions in both name and reality. During the process of removing the yin qi, they had exchanged many intimate words. This embrace was nothingpared to that. Zhao Shirou leaned into Yang Chen¡¯s arms, feeling the strong yang qi emanating from him. Her beautiful face blushed, and her eyes gradually became misty. ¡°Brother Chen, you won¡¯t be mad at Hao¡¯er for speaking to you like that, will you?¡± Zhao Shirou asked softly, her tone filled with concern. Yang Chen replied nonchntly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Rou¡¯er! Hao¡¯er is your son, so he is my son too! As a father, how can I take offense at my own child?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so bad!¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help but blush at his proud tone, but she was relieved. If Brother Chen called Hao¡¯er his son, it meant he didn¡¯t mind that she had a son as old as Hao¡¯er! Through the pce window, the dazzling night sky was visible, with a bright full moon hanging high, exceptionally clear. Moonlight bathed the pce, casting a golden glow on the floor. ¡°In the past, every full moon night, I was in unbearable pain from the cold! Tonight, for the first time in centuries, I find the full moon quite beautiful! Brother Chen, if I had met you earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have suffered so much!¡± Zhao Shirou leaned against Yang Chen, looking at the night sky, speaking softly. ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved yfully. Holding Zhao Shirou¡¯s shoulder, he walked into the moonlight. ¡°Brother Chen, what are you doing?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice trembled as she felt Yang Chen¡¯s hands moving around. ¡°What do you think, Rou¡¯er? The full moon is high; shouldn¡¯t we do something meaningful?¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± At this moment, Li Hao had returned to the Tianyang Hall. Sitting on the throne, he felt ufortable, as if something was slipping away from him. ¡°How strange! Why do I feel like this?¡± Li Hao was restless, unable to concentrate on the official documents. His mind kept drifting back to the scene he had witnessed just before he lost consciousness¡ªthe sight of Yang Chen embracing his mother, Zhao Shirou, without any resistance from her. ¡°No, I need to go check again! Yang Chen is deceitful and vile. I can¡¯t be at ease with my mother around him!¡± Li Hao muttered to himself as he stood up and headed towards Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce. As he approached the pce and was about to enter, he suddenly froze. Inside the pce, he heard soft sob like moaning sounds. Li Hao was initially confused, but then his face turned green with rage. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his body trembled with fury. ¡°Ah!¡± Li Hao roared, ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard! I will kill you! Mother, why did you lie to me? Why? Why! Ahhhh!¡± Chapter 85 Chapter 85 The intermittent, sorrowful moans echoing from the pce filled the air. Li Hao¡¯s face turned an rming shade of purple-green. His expression was twisted and menacing, making him appear particrly terrifying. ¡°Why? Mother, why did you deceive me? Yang Chen, you dog bastard! Damn it all!¡± Li Hao let out a low growl, like a beast on the verge of going berserk. His body surged with true qi, poised to punch the pce wall and force out the people inside. At that moment, a ck beam of light struck Li Hao¡¯s head, freezing him in ce. He couldn¡¯t move or make a sound as the increasingly loud voices within the pce slowly caused him to lose consciousness. ¡°Ha! Boy, you¡¯d better not disturb the master¡¯s pleasure!¡± In the distant darkness, Yan Jiu merged with the night, waved his hand, and grabbed Li Hao, who waspletely immobilized. [Ding! The host has removed the profound Yin qi from Zhao Shirou. Li Hao overheard it, causing his mental state to copse. The host has plundered 4000 points of Li Hao¡¯s Providence Luck received 4000 VPs!] Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. Li Hao overheard? Plundered 4000 points?Could it be that Hao¡¯er is outside the pce at this moment? Yang Chen was shocked but pleased at the same time. Plundering 4000 points of Providence Luck must mean that Hao¡¯er was deeply hurt. Sigh, it seems Yan Jiu has him under control, preventing him from storming in. Poor Hao¡¯er, why did you have toe back? I didn¡¯t intend for this to happen, but you stumbled upon a good show. Don¡¯t me me for this. Ha! ¡°Darling!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s soft and seductive voice broke into his thoughts, urging him. Yang Chen snapped back to reality, a yful smile tugging at his lips. Yan Jiu wrapped Li Hao in a ck mist and sent him back to Tianyang Pce. After an hour, the control over Li Hao was lifted. At this moment, Li Hao¡¯s face waspletely distorted, his eyes blood-red and his veins bulging. He looked like a wild beast driven mad. ¡°Yang Chen! Damn you! Damn you! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!¡± Li Hao howled in the pce, his voice filled with indescribable pain. It was even more sorrowful than when Li Zhan died. Outside, the eunuchs, maids, and guards, hearing the new emperor¡¯s cries, were so frightened they knelt on the ground, not daring to move. ¡°Mother, why? Why did you deceive me? Didn¡¯t you say that you were only cooperating with that bastard? Ah! Mother must have been forced! I knew something was wrong with Mother today! That bastard Yang Chen must have threatened her with me! Despicable viin! I will kill you and destroy all of Xuanyuan Sect, sending all its female disciples to the brothel!¡± True qi surged uncontrobly from Li Hao, his face turning livid. Finally, he could not hold it any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, copsing unconscious. ¡°Your Majesty! Your Majesty!¡± The eunuchs and maids rushed in, panic-stricken. ¡°Quick, summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!¡± [Ding! Li Hao has fainted from rage and his mental state is severely damaged. The host has plundered 1000 points of Li Hao¡¯s Providence Luck and has received 1000 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s expression turned slightly stiff. Hao¡¯er had fainted from anger. Ah, such a temper! However, it shows how much Zhao Shirou means to him, she¡¯s undoubtedly his reverse scale. Initially, Yang Chen intended to use this tactic on Xu Qingxuan, Li Hao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, but this unexpected opportunity came. Thanks to Hao¡¯er, indeed. ¡°Brother Chen, why are you smiling?¡± Zhao Shirou nestled against Yang Chen¡¯s shoulder, her face flushed and covered in a fine sheen of sweat. Her breath was sweet and seductive. ¡°Nothing, just a bit of a backache,¡± Yang Chen replied with a yful grin. He couldn¡¯t help but think that the Profound Yin physique was favored by the Pleasure Harmony (Hehuan) Sect for a reason. He had experienced firsthand that it was not just for storing Profound Yin qi. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡± Zhao Shirou pouted coquettishly; her allure undeniable.@@novelbin@@ The next day, when Yang Chen woke up, Zhao Shirou was already gone. ¡°She must have heard about Hao¡¯er fainting and went to check on him,¡± he mused. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m such a neglectful stepfather, not rushing there immediately.¡± After dressing, he prepared to visit Hao¡¯er and perhaps gain more destiny points. A ck mist suddenly appeared before him, forming into the desated figure of Yan Jiu. ¡°Master!¡± Yan Jiu knelt on one knee. ¡°Yan Jiu, you did wellst night!¡± Yang Chen praised his subordinate without hesitation. Yan Jiu¡¯s face, dried and cracked like tree bark, twisted into an ugly smile. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to serve you, Master! However, this morning I detected a strange soul fluctuation!¡± ¡°A strange soul fluctuation?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s brows furrowed. Yan Jiu, as a soul cultivator, had keen senses for soul qi. If he sensed a soul fluctuation, it must be significant. Only those close to forming a nascent soul could emit such a fluctuation. ¡°Exin in detail!¡± Yang Chenmanded. ¡°Master, the soul fluctuation was not powerful but extremely erratic. It should not be from a soul body. I suspect a cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm has arrived in Li City, and there were rolling thunder sounds within the fluctuation!¡± ¡°Rolling thunder sounds?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°It seems someone from Wind Thunder Sect is here! They¡¯ve sent a Nascent Soul cultivator! They must be determined to im Liyang Kingdom.¡± Yang Chen¡¯s brows knit tighter. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, Wind Thunder Sect¡¯s thunder cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm were few but powerful. Though their foundation was not as strong as Xuanyuan Sect, they were still a dominant force. The alliance between Wind Thunder Sect and Liyang Kingdom showed their long-standing ambition. Now that Yang Chen had killed Li Tengshan and Li Zhan, regaining control over Liyang Kingdom for Xuanyuan Sect, Wind Thunder Sect would not easily back down. However, their arrival was timely. A smile crept onto Yang Chen¡¯s face as a perfect n formed in his mind. Li Hao must die; although Yang Chen enjoyed taking in stepchildren, he had no intention of truly raising someone else¡¯s son. Wind Thunder Sect could serve as his unwitting pawns. Yang Chen left Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce and headed to the State Preceptor¡¯s residence. He nned to enter seclusion for a few days, aiming to break through to the Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Once he reached thete Nascent Soul realm, hisbat power would significantly increase, allowing him to confront the Nascent Soul cultivator from Wind Thunder Sect. Meanwhile, in the State Preceptor¡¯s residence, Xu Qingxuan stood on the pavilion, gazing towards Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard. Her delicate brows knitted slightly. The Holy Son had not returned, and the true qi fluctuations in the pce had ceased long ago. He should havepleted his seclusion, but he did not attend the banquetst night. Could the rumors be true? Was he with the Dowager? Xu Qingxuan¡¯s mind began to wander. Beside her, Xu Hui watched his daughter, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Since awakening her Ice Phoenix bloodline, Xu Qingxuan exuded a cold and noble aura, making her even more breathtaking. The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s residence were all smitten by her beauty. ¡°Qingxuan, did you spend time alone with Li Haost night?¡± Xu Hui recalled the banquet scene and asked. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Xu Qingxuan turned and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t be alone with Li Hao anymore! Now that you¡¯ve awakened your Ice Phoenix bloodline, your future is to be a Nascent Soul cultivator! I¡¯ll find a way to break off your engagement with him. I¡¯ve arranged for you to be a maid by the Holy Son¡¯s side. Seize this opportunity, and don¡¯t hesitate to take initiative if needed!¡± Blushing slightly, Xu Qingxuan retorted, ¡°I understand, Father!¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s for your own good. Staying by the Holy Son¡¯s side will help you fully harness your Ice Phoenix bloodline. Such opportunities are rare!¡± Xu Hui left after his lecture, leaving Xu Qingxuan to sigh deeply. She wanted to take the initiative, but thest time she saw the mysterious woman by the Holy Son¡¯s side, her beauty and figure made Xu Qingxuan feel inferior. Moreover, the Holy Son had been secluded in the pce, leaving her no chance. She remembered the jade slip Li Hao had given her and decided to take a look. As she examined its contents, her eyes widened in anger. ¡°Damn you, Li Hao! You truly deserve death, giving me a dual cultivation technique! Disgusting!¡± She fumed, ready to throw the jade slip away but stopped, thinking of Yang Chen. ¡°I awakened my Ice Phoenix bloodline due to the Holy Son¡¯s dragon aura. Father says he might have a true dragon body. If so, this Dragon-Phoenix dual cultivation technique could be perfect for us! Li Hao, I should thank you for this! If I give this technique to the Holy Son, he won¡¯t be able to resist!¡± *** At this moment, within the Liyang Pce, in the Tianyang Hall, Li Hao sat cross-legged on the cultivation tform, his face pale, his breath weak and listless. Before him stood Zhao Shirou, wrapped in a phoenix robe, entuating her enchanting figure. After a night of passion, Zhao Shirou was glowing, her fair skin seemingly radiating a soft sheen. Despite the worry in her eyes, the charm at the corners couldn¡¯t be concealed. ¡°Hao¡¯er, what¡¯s happened to you? You were finest night! Why did you suddenly faint and start vomiting blood?¡± Seeing her pale son, Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was full of distress and concern. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out her jade-like hand to caress his pale face. But Li Hao coldly turned away. ¡°Hmph!¡± With a cold snort, he turned his head away. ¡°Hao¡¯er, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you treating your mother like this?¡± Zhao Shirou frowned deeply. Hao¡¯er had always been obedient and respectful to her, always with a smile, never showing such a cold face. What happened today? His face was frighteningly grim. ¡°Mother, let me ask you, what is your rtionship with Yang Chen?¡± Li Hao asked coldly, a hint of ferocity in his eyes, blue veins bulging on his forehead. This expression startled Zhao Shirou. She was very clever and quickly understood Li Hao¡¯s abnormality. Hao¡¯er, he must have found out. Thinking ofst night, her heart was filled with shame and anger. It¡¯s all Chen¡¯s fault. He insisted on staying in the front hall despite her pleas to go to the back hall. Sigh. Thinking of being discovered by her son, Zhao Shirou¡¯s cheeks turned crimson. But she suppressed her shyness and said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, it seems you already know. Mother won¡¯t hide it from you anymore! We have be Dao Companions.¡± ¡°Dao Companions?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Li Hao roared. He finally heard the truth he least wanted to hear. Mother has actually be Dao Companions with that bastard Yang Chen. What he saw before, Yang Chen¡¯s hands on her waist, was real. Not his illusion. ¡°Why?¡± Li Hao¡¯s voice was hoarse, as if he waspletely spent. Zhao Shirou sighed at his reaction. She knew Hao¡¯er would find it hard to ept. But in the end, Hao¡¯er found out. Paper couldn¡¯t contain fire. Sigh. Zhao Shirou originally wanted to say that she agreed to be Yang Chen¡¯s partner because he threatened her life. But thinking it over, if she said that, Hao¡¯er¡¯s hatred for Yang Chen would only deepen. So she said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, the dark Yin qi in mother¡¯s body had threatened her life! Only by bing partners with Yang Chen and using his internal me, could it be removed! Besides, Yang Chen has been quite kind to Mother.¡± Hearing his mother¡¯s exnation, Li Hao¡¯s face darkened. As he suspected, Mother sought Yang Chen¡¯s help and had to submit to that scoundrel. Not because she truly liked him. Damn Yang Chen! Wait and see! I¡¯ll tear you to pieces! I¡¯ll save Mother from this misery! After Zhao Shirou left, Li Hao went to the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. Last night, he gave Xu Qingxuan the Dual Cultivation Method. By now, Qingxuan should have read it. He originally nned to wait for her toe to him, then humiliate her and conquer her. But now, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Thinking of his mother¡¯s rtionship with Yang Chen, He felt a stifling anger. He needed to be stronger quickly. Only by bing stronger could he solve all problems. Only then could he kill that bastard Yang Chen! A blue light flew through the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion andnded in a courtyard. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes brightened instantly. ¡°His Holiness is back!¡± Xu Qingxuan wanted to go directly to Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard. But then she thought of her current attire and turned back to her room. She changed into a fitted gauze dress, showcasing her tall and graceful figure. Then she applied delicate makeup. Only then did she leave her small courtyard. Outside, a group of disciples from the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion were listening to the elder¡¯s lecture on cultivation problems. At this moment, seeing Xu Qingxuan walking gracefully like a fairy, they were stunned. ¡°Senior Sister Qingxuan looks so beautiful today!¡± ¡°Ever since she awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline, Senior Sister Qingxuan¡¯s aura has be even colder. I don¡¯t dare greet her anymore!¡± ¡°But Senior Sister Qingxuan, being the number one beauty in Liyang Kingdom, never wears makeup. Why is she wearing such delicate makeup today?¡± ¡°Fool, didn¡¯t you see His Holiness return just now?¡± ¡°You mean, Senior Sister Qingxuan dressed up to please His Holiness?¡± ¡°Who else? You think she dressed up for you?¡± ¡°How heartbreaking. Senior Sister Qingxuan is my goddess!¡± ¡°And now she¡¯s going to be His Holiness¡¯ ¡­¡± Noticing the hot gazes on her, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s cheeks turned slightly red. But she felt more confident. Her meticulous dressing seemed very attractive. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Arriving at Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard, seeing Yang Chen¡¯s tall and extraordinary figure, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes filled with admiration. ¡°Your Holiness, you are back!¡± Xu Qingxuan said softly, her voice pure and elegant. ¡°Hmm!¡± Yang Chen nodded, a hint of surprise shing in his eyes. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, your Phoenix bloodline has awakened?¡± Yang Chen had fused with the Divine Dragon¡¯s spine and absorbed the Liyang royal family¡¯s Dragon of Fortune. His sensitivity to the Phoenix bloodline was sharp. Upon hearing this, Xu Qingxuan took two steps forward. ¡°Thanks to you, His Holiness! The dreadful dragon aura you emitted that day covered the entire Capital! Qingxuan¡¯s Ice Phoenix bloodline was stimted and awakened!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°That was a stroke of luck! But it¡¯s good. It¡¯s an opportunity for you! The Ice Phoenix bloodline originates from the City of Ice and Snow. Although many possess this bloodline, very few can awaken it! Once the Ice Phoenix bloodline awakens, as long as you don¡¯t fall early, reaching the Soul Transformation realm in cultivation shouldn¡¯t be a problem!¡± ¡°Junior Sister Xu, your future is limitless!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s praise, Xu Qingxuan felt a bit delighted. His Holiness had a high opinion of her. ¡°Qingxuan wouldn¡¯t be where she is today without His Holiness! Otherwise, Qingxuan might never have awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline in her lifetime!¡± Thinking of her father¡¯s instructions, Xu Qingxuan gathered her courage and walked to Yang Chen¡¯s side. Then, she picked up a cup of tea and poured it for him. Her fragrance permeated Yang Chen¡¯s nose. ¡°So fragrant!¡± Yang Chen sniffed lightly and blurted out. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s cheeks flushed instantly. Her heartbeat quickened. ¡°His Holiness, I obtained a cultivation method a few days ago! I want to offer it to you!¡± Xu Qingxuan mustered her courage. Then she took out the jade slip Li Hao had given her. ¡°A cultivation method?¡± Yang Chen was taken aback, epting the jade slip. ¡°His Holiness, this cultivation method was found during my exploration of a secret realm! The techniques recorded inside are quite profound, with many parts Qingxuan can¡¯tprehend! His Holiness, with your vast knowledge, why don¡¯t you take a look?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yang Chen became interested. Xu Qingxuan was the heroine meant for Li Hao, the son of destiny. Her luck wasn¡¯t just for show. The mysterious cultivation method she obtained should originally belong to Li Hao in the storyline. Regardless of the method¡¯s quality, it could definitely provide some points. Yang Chen was full of anticipation, focusing his mind on the jade slip. But soon, his brows furrowed. ¡°Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method?¡± Yang Chen was confused. This is a dual cultivation method! Although profound, Xu Qingxuan giving this to him, did she want to dual cultivate with him? This method required specific conditions, and they both met them. He had the Divine Dragon¡¯s spine. She had the Ice Phoenix bloodline. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze became yful. At this moment, Li Hao arrived at the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. ¡°Li Hao? No, Your Majesty!¡± The disciples of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion, though disdainful, remembered that this guy was personally designated by His Holiness to inherit the throne of Liyang Kingdom. So they bowed respectfully. ¡°Hmph!¡± Li Hao nced at the disciple, his anger rising.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om This guy was the one Yang Chen forced him to kneel to. The thought of bowing three times to this waste, became an indelible shame. Li Hao wanted to kill him. But he knew his current situation. So he said coldly: ¡°I¡¯m looking for Fairy Qingxuan. Go inform her.¡± ¡°Senior Sister Qingxuan?¡± The disciple was stunned, then said: ¡°Senior Sister Qingxuan is with His Holiness! Your Majesty, perhaps you shoulde another day!¡± ¡°What?¡± Li Hao¡¯s fists clenched. Damn it. Yang Chen, that bastard. He was with his motherst night, and now he was harassing his fianc¨¦e. Damn. Shameless scoundrel! Qingxuan belongs to me! ¡°Where is Yang Chen? Take me to him!¡± ¡°This?¡± The disciple hesitated. ¡°I am the King of Liyang!¡± ¡°Yang Chen said I could see him anytime!¡± Li Hao said fiercely. ¡°Is that so?¡± The disciple pondered for a moment, then said: ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you there!¡± At this moment, In the courtyard, Xu Qingxuan stood before Yang Chen, her cheeks flushed. Her hands twisted the hem of her dress, her heart in a flurry. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, giving me this Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method, do you want me to cultivate it too?¡± Yang Chen asked, a yful look in his eyes. Xu Qingxuan trembled, her cheeks burning. Your Holiness, why did you say it out loud? So embarrassing! Xu Qingxuan felt her neck heating up, wanting to run away. But remembering her father¡¯s words, she suppressed her shyness and said: ¡°His Holiness!¡± ¡°Qingxuan has the Ice Phoenix bloodline, so I want to ask you to cultivate this method with me for mutual improvement! So, Your Holiness, please help me!¡± After speaking, Xu Qingxuan hastily bowed. But this scene stunned Yang Chen. Oh my, such fervent enthusiasm. This woman knew how to y! But, the roles should be reversed for better results. *** Yang Chen looked at Xu Qingxuan standing before him. She was dressed in a waist-cinching gauze skirt, her waist so slender it seemed as though it could break with a gentle squeeze. Perhaps due to her young age, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s waist was extremely thin. However, above her waist, there was an impressive grandeur that could only make one marvel at the creator¡¯s wonder. How could something so slender bear such abundant fruits, defying gravity? Since awakening her Ice Phoenix bloodline, Xu Qingxuan naturally exuded a cold and noble aura. Yet, when facing him, her cheeks were flushed crimson. This aura, however, invisibly emanated, invoking an urge to conquer her. Especially since she was the fianc¨¦e of his stepson, Hao¡¯er. Yang Chen sighed as he thought about this. If Hao¡¯er knew about this, he would surely despise him. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, your words put me in a difficult position,¡± Yang Chen sighed. Xu Qingxuan immediately tensed up and hurriedly said, ¡°His Holiness, did I say something inappropriate? I was just too nervous! If I have offended you, please do not hold it against me!¡± Saying this, she knelt down. Yang Chen¡¯s words had startled her, making her pause and reflect on what she had just said. She had asked him to practice a cultivation technique together for mutual improvement. On second thought, her words did seem somewhat inappropriate. Was His Holiness displeased with that? ¡°Oh no, what should I do? How could I have spoken to His Holiness in such a tone?¡± she fretted inwardly. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, what are you doing?¡± Yang Chen quickly stepped forward and helped her up by her soft shoulders. Instantly, a cool sensation spread through his hand, followed by a dragon¡¯s roar echoing within him. Roar! The dragon¡¯s roar carried a powerful pressure, causing Xu Qingxuan to tremble slightly. A blue phoenix¡¯s shadow appeared faintly on her back. ¡°So sensitive?¡± Yang Chen was a bit surprised. Just a brief touch had caused such a reaction. If they practiced the dual cultivation technique, wouldn¡¯t they ascend to ecstasy instantly? Experiencing too much pleasure too quickly might not be good. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 ¡°Your Highness, I ¡­¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s voice trembled, her cheeks turning a striking shade of red, with a hint of allure in her eyes. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, did you activate the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique?¡± Yang Chen asked in surprise. ¡°Yes,¡± Xu Qingxuan nodded slightly. That brief contact had stirred the Phoenix blood within her, prompting her to try the technique. The result was an overwhelming sensation coursing through her body, something she had never felt before. ¡°Your Highness, just now, I felt my true qi increase significantly! This technique is indeed extraordinary,¡± Xu Qingxuan said softly. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but scoff inwardly. Of course, she felt her true qi increase. His cultivation level was at the Sixth stage of the Nascent Soul, while she was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. A mere fraction of his true qi was enough for her to absorb for quite some time. ¡°Your Highness, shall we try again?¡± Xu Qingxuan mustered the courage to ask, her eyes filled with both eagerness and hope. Looking into her expectant eyes, Yang Chen sighed, ¡°Alright.¡± Before he could make a move, Xu Qingxuan threw herself into his arms, wrapping her soft arms around his waist. Her body¡¯s softness and the surprising sensation it brought took Yang Chen aback. Indeed, she had a remarkably well-proportioned figure. Yang Chen started to circte the technique. Instantly, golden and blue lights emanated from their bodies, with a golden dragon and an ice phoenix shadow appearing and intertwining. The ice phoenix shadow, however, seemed less prominent, its color more faint, always beneath the golden dragon. Despite this, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s aura visibly grew stronger. ¡°What a profound technique!¡± Yang Chen was shocked. This technique exceeded his understanding, making him feel it was almost perverse. Considering Li Hao was the destined one, it made sense that this technique was designed for him and couldn¡¯t be judged bymon standards. Yang Chen, being far more advanced in cultivation, did not benefit much, as only a small portion of his true qi entered Xu Qingxuan, slightly refining her own. The effect was minimal for him but significant for her. She clung to him tightly, either craving his true qi or his body. This woman now seemed somewhat infatuated. At this moment, Li Hao arrived outside Yang Chen¡¯s courtyard with a disciple from the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion. Seeing the golden and blue lights intertwined and the faint shadows of a dragon and phoenix, Li Hao¡¯s face froze. The dragon and phoenix shadows intertwined indicated the practice of the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique. Could it be that Yang Chen and Xu Qingxuan were ¡­?@@novelbin@@ ¡°Ah! Bastard!¡± Li Hao growled, startling the disciple beside him who reached out to touch his shoulder. ¡°Your Majesty, are you alright?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Li Hao turned, his face twisted with rage, veins bulging like an enraged beast. The disciple backed away in fear. Li Hao stormed into the courtyard, fists clenched, eyes full of killing intent, his body trembling with anger. That bastard Yang Chen was embracing his fianc¨¦e! ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao cursed inwardly but felt a slight relief for arriving in time. If he had been a momentter, Xu Qingxuan would have been defiled by Yang Chen. Li Hao roared, ¡°Yang Chen! Let go of Xu Qingxuan!¡± His voice thundered like a storm. Yang Chen and Xu Qingxuan abruptly opened their eyes. ¡°Li Hao?¡± [Ding! The host has embraced Xu Qingxuan. Witnessing this, Li Hao¡¯s state of mind has been damaged, and 1000 points of his Providence Luck have been plundered. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Yang Chen felt a mix of emotions. Li Hao, oh Li Hao, why do you always appear at the most inconvenient moments, just to let me plunder away your Providence Luck? ¡°Li Hao, it¡¯s not what you think!¡± Yang Chen quickly pushed Xu Qingxuan away and tried to exin anxiously. However, all he saw in Li Hao¡¯s eyes was a burning desire to kill. ¡°Yang Chen, damn you! I¡¯ll kill you someday, tear you to pieces!¡± Only Yang Chen, the great viin, knew how much Li Hao hated him. Thus, he felt indifferent to Li Hao¡¯s curses. After all, Li Hao had been eavesdroppingst night. But Xu Qingxuan¡¯s reaction was different. She frowned and scolded, ¡°Li Hao, how dare you be so disrespectful to His Holiness! Kneel and apologize immediately!¡± Xu Qingxuan drew her sword, pointing it at Li Hao, ready to strike if he didn¡¯t kneel. ¡°Qingxuan, I¡¯m your fianc¨¦! Our engagement still stands. How can you do this? Yang Chen is a scoundrel. Don¡¯t be fooled by him!¡± Li Hao pleaded. But hearing this, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s face darkened with anger. ¡°You dare speak disrespectfully! Take this!¡± She swung her sword at Li Hao, the de gleaming with a fierce light. ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao growled, filled with sorrow. Xu Qingxuan was truly attacking him. He could only defend himself passively. Bang! The sword light dispersed, sending Li Hao stumbling back, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Li Hao was stunned. His cultivation was at the Seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. He had defeated all the young talents of the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion, including Xu Qingxuan. But now, he was defeated with one strike. Xu Qingxuan stood proudly, her skirt fluttering without wind, looking like a peerless sword fairy. Her aura had reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. She looked at Li Hao with a mix of pride and disdain. After awakening her Ice Phoenix bloodline and refining a rare treasure from her mother, she had advanced to the Eighth stage, significantly enhancing herbat strength. ¡°Kneel and apologize to His Holiness! Or you won¡¯t leave here today!¡± Xu Qingxuanmanded coldly, her eyes filled with anger and killing intent. She had mustered the courage to embrace His Holiness and began practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Technique, only to be interrupted by Li Hao. It was infuriating. Today, if Li Hao didn¡¯t kneel and apologize, she wouldn¡¯t let him off easily. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 The sword gleams were sharp, filled with killing intent. She now had the cultivation of the 8th stage of Foundation Establishment realm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Coupled with the Ice Phoenix bloodline blessing, her sword aura carried an astonishing chill. Li Hao himself had eavesdroppedst night, causing him to cough up blood and faint from anger. At this moment, he had not fully recovered yet. He could barely block a few moves. Before coughing up blood again and retreating. ¡°Li Hao, is this the extent of your ability? Didn¡¯t you say you were a heaven-blessed genius, looking down on the younger generation of the State Precept¡¯s Manor? With just this level of skill, you dare be disrespectful to the Holy Son! Kneel down and apologize to the Holy Son immediately!¡± Xu Qingxuan swung her sword while mocking him. Thest time, Li Hao had defeated all the younger generation of the State Precept¡¯s Manor. And insulted them. She had always remembered that. Now was the perfect opportunity to take revenge. And redeem her previous humiliation. ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao¡¯s face turned purple-green. His heart raged to the point of coughing up blood. He was of the Imperial Bloodline! Destined to rule the world and sweep across the wilderness! Build an eternal dynasty and be the Eternal Emperor! Yet now, he was being suppressed by his own fianc¨¦e! Even forced to kneel and apologize to his most hated enemy! Li Hao red at Yang Chen with murderous intent. He would rather die than kneel before Yang Chen! If it weren¡¯t for this bastardst night, doing those shameful acts with his mother in the pce ¡­ which he overheard. Leaving him enraged, with erratic qi flow, and internal injuries. Even if he was no match for Xu Qingxuan today, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a wretched state. ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao let out a hoarse growl. His eyes bloodshot red. But Xu Qingxuan showed no mercy, taking advantage of his distraction to sh at Li Hao¡¯s legs. This strike was unavoidable for Li Hao. If hit, he would lose his legs. Even Yang Chen looked surprised. Never expecting the vicious Xu Qingxuan to go for Li Hao¡¯s legs directly. Bang! A blue light emanated from Li Hao¡¯s body. The sword gleamed and only caused ripples upon impact. ¡°Holy Son?¡± Xu Qingxuan stopped, puzzled. Not understanding why the Holy Son would intervene, after Li Hao insulted and refused to apologize to him. ¡°Enough, Junior Sister Xu! You went too far!¡± Yang Chen walked over slowly, saying in a deep voice. ¡°But Holy Son, Li Hao was too arrogant! Disrespecting you and insulting you!¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s anger had not subsided. But Yang Chen¡¯s next words left her stunned. ¡°How Haoe¡¯r speaks to me is none of your concern! He is my stepson after all, this is a family matter!¡± ¡°What?! Stepson??¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. In an instant, she recalled some recent rumors. That the Consort, the Queen Dowager, had that kind of rtionship with the Holy Son. Which was why Li Hao could be the Crown Prince. Originally, she didn¡¯t believe it. But now, the Holy Son admitted Li Hao was his stepson himself. Virtually confirming his rtionship with the Queen Dowager. Xu Qingxuan felt rather unsettled. She had seen the Queen Dowager before. She was indeed very beautiful and graceful, but she was already hundreds of years old. And also Li Hao¡¯s mother. Yet the Holy Son ignored her youthful beauty to choose a mature woman instead. s. What was the Holy Son thinking? ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard! What did you say? Who is your stepson? Shut your dog mouth, you son of a bitch!¡± Upon hearing Yang Chen call him a stepson, Li Hao raged. Recalling against night¡¯s scene. That sobbing, melodious, monotonous yet all-epassing melodies of human emotion. A nightmare he could never erase from his mind. Murderous intent shed in Li Hao¡¯s eyes. His face turned a ghastly green. If he had the strength, he would rip out Yang Chen¡¯s tongue piece by piece. The hateful bastard! ¡°Li Hao!¡± Yang Chen remained calm, approaching with a loving smile. ¡°Li Hao, your mother must have told you! We have be Daopanions! So I really am your stepfather! This was something you¡¯d find out sooner orter! You¡¯re an adult now, you should understand your mother!¡± Yang Chen sighed, continuing: ¡°Your mother suffered from Yin Demon Qi, and my constitution can help remove it! Plus, your mother cultivated alone for hundreds of years, she needspanionship! But rest assured Li Hao, your step-father will treat your mother well! And I¡¯ll treat you like my own birth son too! Here, Li Hao, take this healing pill! Otherwise your mother will worry seeing you injured, and me me for not taking care of you!¡± Yang Chen took out a white pill and handed it to Li Hao. But his self-professed touching fatherly speech did not move Li Hao at all. Instead, Li Hao¡¯s murderous eyes seemed to drown Yang Chen. His face turning a sickly purple-green hue. Grotesquely distorted. [Ding! Host imed to be Li Hao¡¯s stepfather, looked down and repeatedly humiliated him. Li Hao¡¯s spirit has copsed, host has plundered 1000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao, and has gained 1000 VPs!] Snickering at the system message, a smirk crept across Yang Chen¡¯s face. Another 1000 VPs earned. Li Hao, ah Li Hao. Being your stepfather is truly exhrating. ¡°Li Hao, quickly take this pill! You suffered serious injuries just now!¡± Yang Chen urged again with concern. Fully immersed in the stepfather role. ¡°Get lost you bastard!¡± Li Hao bellowed furiously, veins bulging. Xu Qingxuan angrily berated from the side: ¡°Li Hao, you¡¯re so shameless! If not for your mother¡¯s sake, why would the Holy Son bother with you?¡± ¡°Junior Sister, do not speak nonsense!¡± Yang Chen rebuked sternly, ¡°Are you trying to drive a wedge between a father and son¡¯s rtionship? Actually, putting Ruo¡¯er aside, I admire Li Hao too!¡± With that, Yang Chen pointed at Li Hao. The Devil Mountain Supressing World Formation, containing sealing and suppressing forces manifested. Of course, Yang Chen would not use too much power. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator¡¯s small body could not withstand it. identally killing him would be such a pity. He had to be calctive. This brat still had over ten thousand points of Providence Luck. It was not his time to die yet. Though Yang Chen only pointed lightly, Li Hao was frozen in ce, immobilized. Then with a flick of his finger, the white pill entered Li Hao¡¯s mouth. ¡°Yang Chen, what did you do to me? Release me now!¡± Li Hao growled lowly. Feeling his body bound, unable to move at all. ¡°Li Hao, your step-father has temporarily ced a seal on your body! This pill can heal your injuries, once you¡¯ve recovered, you¡¯ll be free to move!¡± Chapter 90 Chapter 90 ¡°Otherwise, if you return to the pce like this, your mother will worry and me me for not protecting you!¡± Yang Chen then walked over to the stone table and picked up the jade slip. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, the cultivation method recorded on this jade slip is indeed profoundly mysterious! You must have an incredible chance encounter to obtain such a method from the secret realm!¡± Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s face turned red. Because this cultivation method was not obtained by her in the secret realm. It was given to her by Li Hao justst night. Li Hao also saw the jade slip. His eyes widened instantly. This jade slip containing the Dragon and Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method was what he had given to Qingxuanst night. Damn it! Qingxuan actually took the dual cultivation method he gave her to have Yang Chen guide her practice instead! ¡°Qingxuan, why are you doing this? That was what I gave ¡­¡± Li Hao growled, but before he could finish, Xu Qingxuan shot a st of true qi to formation his mouth. Immobilized by Yang Chen¡¯s formation, Li Hao could not resist at all. The true qi sealed his mouth, preventing him from speaking. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s heart settled, her eyes shifting as she said with slight embarrassment: ¡°Holy Son, our cultivation practice was interrupted by Li Hao earlier! I request the Holy Son to continue guiding my practice!¡± ¡°Well, alright!¡± Yang Chen said resignedly: ¡°Though you¡¯re Hao¡¯er¡¯s fianc¨¦e, you¡¯re also my junior martial sister! As your senior, I should guide your cultivation practice! But rest assured Hao¡¯er, I¡¯m only providing guidance to Junior Sister Xu! She is your fianc¨¦e after all, I¡¯m well aware of that! Junior Sister Xu, let¡¯s go to the room! Let Hao¡¯er rest quietly and absorb the medicinal effects to recover!¡± Yang Chen spoke and entered the room with the jade slip. Behind him, Xu Qingxuan nced at Li Hao with a smirk. A hint of smugness and warning in her eyes. ¡°Damnit! You wretched pair will die miserably!¡± Li Hao inwardly raged. Feeling his heart bleed. The cultivation method he gifted to Qingxuan. Yet Qingxuan took it to practice with Yang Chen instead. Infuriating! Soon after, the illusory forms of a Golden Dragon and Ice Phoenix flew out from the room. ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard! I will definitely kill you! You scum! Arrgghh!¡± Li Hao¡¯s face twisted purple and green, veins bulging grotesquely. But he could only watch helplessly, unable to even curse out loud. Continuously damning Yang Chen in his heart. The once noble ruler, had now be a mere outsider! *** Inside the room. Yang Chen was enveloped in a golden radiance, draconic aura undting. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s body glowed blue, a faint phoenix image flickering. Her fair cheeks flushed red, eyes carrying a charming coyness. Arms tightly embracing Yang Chen. Savoring the exquisite softness in his arms. Yang Chen felt rather helpless. This Xu Qingxuan girl was an absolute fangirl when alone with him. Completely different from the icy demeanor facing her fianc¨¦, Li Hao. Like two separate people. Ai. Yang Chen nced outside. Xu Qingxuan clung tightly to him. While Hao¡¯er stood guard outside. This ¡­ really made one¡¯s feelings quiteplex. Fortunately, when entering, he exined clearly to Hao¡¯er. That he was only guiding Junior Sister Xu¡¯s cultivation. Hao¡¯er shouldn¡¯t misunderstand. After all, he had an impable reputation as an upright gentleman. [Ding, host has cucked Li Hao and began cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation method with Xu Qingxuan. Li Hao¡¯s spirit has copsed! The host has plundered 4000 points of Providence Luck from the Protagonist, Li Hao, gaining 4000 VPs!] The system voice suddenly rang out. Yang Chen¡¯s expression froze. Plundering 4000 Destiny Points? That was a lot! It seemed Hao¡¯er still distrusted his stepfather. Ai. He really was just guiding Junior Sister Xu¡¯s cultivation. After all, they were clothed, nothing happened. Junior Sister wanted to elevate her cultivation through this method. As her senior martial brother, he could only assist her as best he could. Hao¡¯er had misunderstood. Yang Chen sighed deeply. Yet a smirk crept across his lips. Now, Hao¡¯er must resent him as a stepfather even more. Hahaha. Half an hourter, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s aura suddenly soared. Her true qi surged forth turbulently. The 9th stage of Foundation Establishment! ¡°Holy Son, Qingxuan has broken through! Reaching the 9th stage of Foundation Establishment!¡± Xu Qingxuan eximed excitedly. Her beautiful face flushed red with tion. ¡°En, congrattions! Junior Sister Xu, you can let go of me now! We¡¯ve held this posture for half an hour already!¡± Yang Chen said resignedly. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s already been half an hour so quickly?¡± Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan reluctantly released Yang Chen¡¯s sturdy waist. A hint of grievance in her eyes, as if extremely unwilling. Just now, Yang Chen promised her that he could asionally help guide her cultivation. But each session couldn¡¯t exceed half an hour. The reason Yang Chen didn¡¯t proceed to the final step was because he had extensively exchanged with the Yin-bodied Zhao Shiroust night. Today he was in Sage mode. ¡°Junior Sister Xu, for a Foundation Establishment realm breakthrough, even with your great talents, it would normally take months or a year! You rapidly advancing from the 6th to 9th stage in such a short time, focus on stabilizing for now! Once things with Liyang are settled, you¡¯ll return to the Xuantian Sect with me! At that time, I¡¯ll rmend you be an inner disciple!¡± ¡°Inner disciple?¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes lit up. Her greatest dream had long been to follow her father back to the Xuantian Sect and be an inner disciple. But now that this inner disciple status was right before her, she felt a tinge of loss instead. ¡°Holy Son! Qingxuan wishes to follow by your side!¡± Xu Qingxuan said meekly. After embracing the Holy Son for over half an hour, her courage grew significantly. Moreover, she realized this Holy Son was actually quite amiable to be around. ¡°Follow by my side?¡± Yang Chen smirked slightly.@@novelbin@@ He naturally understood the implications behind her words. After all, what could a gorgeous beauty do by ¡°following¡± him? ¡°If you want to follow me, that¡¯s not impossible!¡± Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Yang Chen didn¡¯t refuse, looking at her as he spoke: ¡°I happen tock a maidservant, how about it?¡± ¡°Maid ¡­ servant?¡± Xu Qingxuan froze. She originally thought the Holy Son would directly take her as a concubine. After all, she had awoken the Ice Phoenix bloodline too. With future prospects of bing an Immortal. The number one beauty in the Liyang Kingdom. With countless suitors. ¡°What, you¡¯re unwilling?¡± ¡°Ah! No, no! To be able to follow the Holy Son, even as a maidservant, Qingxuan is willing!¡± Xu Qingxuan hurriedly said. A maidservant then, so be it. With her beauty and talents, she would be promoted eventually. Moreover, the Holy Son had several concubines, but it seemed she was the only maidservant. An advantage of sorts. At least she could constantly attend to the Holy Son. Incidentally absorbing his draconic aura to elerate her own cultivation. ¡°Qingxuan, has my wife emerged from secluded meditation recently?¡± Thinking of Leng Yuxia, Yang Chen asked. Hearing the Holy Son address her so intimately as Qingxuan, her heart raced as she replied: ¡°Holy Son, Senior Leng has not emerged yet! Previously there were strong fluctuations of true qi from Senior Leng¡¯s secluded meditation chamber! She should be breaking through a realm!¡± Yang Chen nodded. For a Nascent Soul cultivator to breakthrough realms, it took considerable time. Could be months or even years. After all, Nascent Soul cultivators lived for over a millennium. Cases like his were ultimately rare. Sensing Li Hao¡¯s formation was about to dissipate, Yang Chen said: ¡°Qingxuan, if there¡¯s nothing else, you can take your leave! I¡¯ll also be secluding myself for a period! Right, exin things to Hao¡¯er, that I only helped guide your cultivation. Nothing happened between us, don¡¯t let him misunderstand! You are his fiance after all, and I¡¯m his stepfather. We arepletely upright!¡± Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s cheeks flushed red. Coming from the Holy Son¡¯s mouth, those words sounded rather odd. Could it be ¡­ the Holy Son enjoyed this sort of rhetoric? ¡°Yes, Qingxuan understands!¡± Xu Qingxuan bowed and exited Yang Chen¡¯s room. Outside, the formation on Li Hao had gradually dissipated. Seeing Xu Qingxuan emerge from Yang Chen¡¯s room, he angrily shouted: ¡°Qingxuan, why did you do this? That cultivation method, I was the one who gave it to you! Are you that shameless to go find that bastard Yang Chen to practice it? You are my fianc¨¦e! You should be cultivating it together with me!¡± Li Hao¡¯s voice dripped with resentment and jealousy. Recalling that half-hour period, his heart felt like it was being sliced. His fianc¨¦e. Together with that bastard Yang Chen. Cultivating the method he gifted. Alone in that room for over half an hour. Damnit! In that half-hour, he climaxed at least five times!* [¡°°ë¸öʱ³½¡± (b¨¤n g¨¨ sh¨ªch¨¦n):This phrase literally means ¡°half an hour¡±. ¡°°ë¸ö¡± (b¨¤n g¨¨) means ¡°half¡±, ¡°Ê±³½¡± (sh¨ªch¨¦n) is an old Chinese unit of time equivalent to two hours, so ¡°°ë¸öʱ³½¡± is half of two hours, or one hour.] Xu Qingxuan coldly retorted: ¡°Li Hao, you are the shameless one! Watch your mouth! If you weren¡¯t the Holy Son¡¯s stepson, thisdy would have struck you with two swords, crippling you from leaving the State Preceptor¡¯s manor!¡± Xu Qingxuan had now reached the 9thstage of Foundation Establishment realm. Her aura was more domineering, exuding a cold arrogance. Looking at Li Hao, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt. Walking up to Li Hao, she said coldly: ¡°Li Hao, hand over the marriage contract, our engagement ispletely nullified!¡± ¡°Marriage contract?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Li Hao gave a cold hmph, his expression gloomy. ¡°You want me to hand over the contract, topletely sever ties with me, so you can throw yourself into that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s embrace! Dream on! I refuse! You are still my fianc¨¦e currently! As long as I¡¯m not dead, you cannot break free from this bond!¡± Li Hao¡¯s expression gradually twisted. A sliver of vindictive pleasure surfaced in his heart. Inside the room, Yang Chen heard Li Hao¡¯s words. His expression turned intrigued. Hao¡¯er ah Hao¡¯er. You truly don¡¯t disappoint as your father¡¯s good son. If you two break off the engagement, it would really lose a lot of vor. Since you enjoy ying the cuckold, your father shall oblige! *** After the two left, Yang Chen began secluded cultivation. During this period, having reaped Ye Yun and then Li Hao, he umted quite a few VPs that needed digesting. He set up an istion formation outside his room. To prevent his aura from leaking out. Yang Chen sat cross-legged on the cultivation tform. An illusory golden dragon coiling around him. Dragon roars resounding continuously. Inteced with surging, overbearing pressure. Without the istion formation, just the overwhelming pressure from these dragon roars alone could plunge Liyang City back into panic. Yang Chen looked inwards. His originally crimson blood now tinged with a faint golden hue. The Divine Dragon Spine had fully integrated with his body. His blood starting to transform. However, being a rtively short time since integrating the spine, the golden tint was still quite light. But as time passed, this golden color would only deepen. The power contained within his blood would grow stronger too. The Dragon Race, with their tremendously powerful bloodline and physiques, was precisely why they became the demon tribe¡¯s sovereigns. The bloodlines of Primordial Divine Dragons were even more far superior to ordinary dragons. Yang Chen¡¯s fleshly body had greatly improved. Previously, after refining the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, his flesh was around the Condensed Primordial Pill realm¡¯s peak. Now, fusing with the Divine Dragon Spine, His fleshly power was at least at the mid Nascent Soul stage. In other words, without using true qi, his flesh alone could suppress mid Nascent Soul cultivators. As the golden hue in his blood deepened, his fleshly power would continue elevating. Yang Chen concentrated, examining the Divine Dragon Spine. His expression froze. For he discovered numerous text and patterns had appeared on the spine. The text was ancient and vigorous! The patterns exuding profound Dao principles! As if the great Dao of heavens and earth were engraved! ¡°The Dragon Spine contains a Primordial Divine Dragon¡¯s most essence! Dragon inheritances focus on bloodlines and dragon bones! These texts and patterns must be the Primordial Divine Dragon¡¯s inheritance! An unexpected bonus!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression turned excited as he immediately beganprehending them. Naturally using his VPs made hisprehension extremely rapid. Yet even so, this secluded cultivationsted a full half year. When Yang Chen opened his eyes again, a golden dragon illusory image shed in them. His aura had clearly reached the 8th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. More satisfying was his advancement. From the inheritanceprehended on the Dragon Spine ¨C The Divine Dragon Defying Heaven Technique! Theplete technique of the Primordial Divine Dragons. After half a year¡¯sprehension, Yang Chen had embarked on the path of Body Cultivation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It was said in ancient times, Body Cultivation was verymon. But numbers had dwindled sharplyter. Chapter 92 Chapter 92 In this era, Body Cultivation had be an extremely niche path. Even rarer than [Pill] Alchemists, Formation Masters or Talisman Masters. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, Body Cultivators were basically unseen. However, while rare, Body Cultivators were tremendously powerful. Not only offensively formidable, their flesh alone could withstand equal-realm attacks. Showing its might. Yang Chen¡¯s current raw power had reached the 7th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Every cell brimming with immense force. His blood flowed like raging rivers. Each heartbeat thunderous like brass bells. These sounds were all concealed by himself though. ¡°Huff!¡± Taking a deep breath, Yang Chen exited the room.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Deactivating the world-isting formation. The courtyard immediately appearing before him. In the courtyard, a peerless beauty in pce robes, hair bunned up, tending to flowers and nts with a slender, fair arm exposed. Seeing Yang Chen emerge, she turned, revealing a gorgeous, charming smile. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve concluded your seclusion!¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s voice brimmed with affection and delight. She quickly stepped into Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. The softness enveloping him, bringing gratification. ¡°Yuyan, you broke through to the Second stage of the Nascent Soul realm!¡± Yang Chen sensed her true qi fluctuations were much stronger than before. ¡°En!¡± Nuzzling on Yang Chen¡¯s chest, Leng Yuyan softly said: ¡°I emerged four months ago! But then you secluded yourself again! To wait for you, I stayed here these four months! Brother Chen, it¡¯s been over half a year since west met!¡± A hint of grievanceced her words. Yang Chen patted her head consolingly. His seclusion this timested half a year. Plus Leng Yuyan¡¯s prior seclusion period. They indeed hadn¡¯t seen each other for over half a year. While short for Nascent Soul cultivators¡¯ millennium lifespan, for inseparable Daopanions, it was abnormal. Savoring the suppleness in his embrace, and her aggrieved tone, Yang Chen felt a stir of desire. His hands caressed her back gently. Appreciating each curve and contour. Leng Yuyan¡¯s cheeks flushed slightly. ¡°Brother Chen, you bully! Just out of seclusion and already like this!¡± Though chiding, her arms tightened around Yang Chen. Then the two entered the room, embracing each other ¡­ Two hourster, the courtyard¡¯s birdsongs finally faded away ¡­ The next day, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan watered the nts together in the courtyard. Leng Yuyan¡¯s personality favored tranquility and grace. Thus, she adored flowers and nts. Under her nurturing, the courtyard¡¯s flora exuded vibrance. Yet even amidst gorgeous blossoms, her beauty outshone flowers. Standing amidst the blooms, Leng Yuyan was a peerless immortal gracing the mortal realms. Each expression enough to shame moon and flowers, driving men mad. Gazing at her, Yang Chen felt aroused again. But then, a tall figure entered the courtyard. ¡°Senior Sister Yuyan?¡± Xu Qingxuan called out excitedly: ¡°Holy Son, you¡¯ve emerged from seclusion!¡± Yang Chen turned to the ted Xu Qingxuan, smiling: ¡°Long time no see, Junior Sister Qingxuan!¡± Half a year had refined her aura to lofty, regal elegance. Yet seeing Yang Chen, Xu Qingxuan reverted to a fangirl¡¯s smile. ¡°Brother Chen, these months Junior Sister Qingxuan visited daily to check if you emerged! Fortunately she came each day, or I¡¯d be bored alone!¡± Leng Yuyan remarked. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s face reddened slightly. ¡°Not really! I mainly came to apany Senior Sister Yuyan!¡± Xu Qingxuan nced at Leng Yuyan, then gasped: ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Qingxuan?¡± ¡°Senior Sister, you¡¯ve be far more beautiful? Did you use some beautifying pills?¡± Xu Qingxuan stared at Leng Yuyan¡¯s luminous, porcinplexion. Leng Yuyan froze, then flushed deeply. Unable to stop her reprimanding nce at Yang Chen. She didn¡¯t use any beauty pellet. It was just Brother Chen¡¯s, well ¡­ Aish. Embarrassing. A momentter, in the room, Xu Qingxuan assumed a maidservant¡¯s role. Diligently pouring Yang Chen tea, her jade hands frequently brushing him. Though seeming unintentional, Yang Chen had cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation too. He knew she was tantly absorbing his true qi. At this moment, Xu Qingxuan said in a secretive tone, ¡°Holy Son, there¡¯s something I want to tell you in private.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Yang Chen nced at Leng Yuyan, who had turned towards them, so he said, ¡°You can just say it directly.¡± ¡°Alright then,¡± Xu Qingxuan hesitated before continuing, ¡°The Queen Dowager, Li Hao¡¯s mother, she is pregnant!¡± *** Xu Qingxuan¡¯s words almost made Yang Chen spit out his tea. ¡°What? Pregnant?¡± Yang Chen was stunned. It was just that one night. She got pregnant just like that? It seems this Queen Mother really has a fertile body! But still. His own Queen Mother is pregnant. Hao¡¯er must be very happy now. After all, he¡¯s about to have a younger brother or sister. Yang Chen¡¯s expression gradually became strange. On the side, Leng Yuyan didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Brother Chen, are you very familiar with that Queen? Why such a big reaction?¡± ¡°This ¡­¡± Yang Chen suddenly came back to his senses, his face awkward. Then, he red at Xu Qingxuan. Xu Qingxuan looked very helpless. As if to say: I asked to speak with you privately, yet told me to say it directly. Leng Yuyan had a quiet and elegant personality. In these four months, except for asionally going into closed-door cultivation for a few days, she spent almost all her time in the courtyard. She hadn¡¯t even returned to the Qingxuan Sect. Xu Qingxuan also hadn¡¯t intentionally told her about Yang Chen¡¯s rtionship with the Queen. So, Leng Yuyan didn¡¯t know. ¡°Yuyan, let Qingxuan exin it to you! I still have something to do, I¡¯ll go out for a bit!¡± Yang Chen said, and then hurriedly left the room. The pce. In Zhao Shirou¡¯s bedchamber. At this time, Zhao Shirou¡¯s belly had already grown. Her phoenix robe was no longer tight, but rather loose and flowing on her body. Her jade hands caressed her belly, her charming face full of tenderness, filled with the radiance of motherhood. Although she had raised Li Hao for decades and had decades of parenting experience, nevertheless, Li Hao was not her own child after all. Now, there was her own child in her womb. She was going to be a real mother. This was apletely different feeling. ¡°Child, I really want you to be born soon! Your mother is already impatient to see you!¡± Zhao Shirou caressed her belly, murmuring to herself. Her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation. Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind. Zhao Shirou turned around hurriedly. Her beautiful eyes shed with a glimmer of excitement and surprise. But soon, that excitement was hidden. Reced by a cold snort. ¡°Hmph, what are you here for?¡± Zhao Shirou looked at Yang Chen coldly. ¡°Ruo¡¯er, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Yang Chen was a little surprised. This woman was still fine before. Now that they¡¯ve met, why is she acting so cold and indifferent? ¡°Don¡¯t call me Ruo¡¯er! You haven¡¯te for half a year, what are you here for now? Get out quickly! The child and I don¡¯t need you!¡± After Zhao Shirou finished speaking, she turned away directly. Hearing this, Yang Chen immediately understood. The corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile. It seems this woman was upset that he hadn¡¯te to see her for half a year. Tsk tsk. This was normal, after all. Yang Chen knew that especially at this time, he couldn¡¯t leave. If he really left, then it would bepletely over. So, he walked behind Zhao Shirou and ced his hands on her tender jade shoulders. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Zhao Shirou snorted coldly. She shook her shoulders, trying to break free from Yang Chen¡¯s hands. But without using true qi, how could she break free? ¡°Alright!¡± Yang Chen said softly in her ear: ¡°Is it because I haven¡¯te to see you for half a year?¡± ¡°Hmph, what do you think!¡± Zhao Shirou snorted again. Chapter 93 Chapter 93 But, there wasn¡¯t much of the yin left. ¡°Ruo¡¯er, I¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation for half a year! I¡¯ve neglected you; I apologise for that! Okay?¡± Yang Chen said in her ear. His warm breath blew gently toward her tender earlobe. Zhao Shirou¡¯s body gradually softened. ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize to me! Apologize to him!¡± She said, her jade hand pointing to her bulging belly. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll apologize to my son! Daddy hasn¡¯te to see you for half a year, you¡¯re not angry, are you?¡± Yang Chen said, and his hand also caressed Zhao Shirou¡¯s bulging belly. Zhao Shirou didn¡¯t resist. On the contrary, when Yang Chen¡¯s palm touched her belly, her body softenedpletely. Until she was soft in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. ¡°You still have some conscience! It¡¯s been half a year, I thought you had forgotten me!¡± Zhao Shirou leaned in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace, her voice tinged with grievance and choked sobs. ¡°How could I!¡± Yang Chen hurriedly said: ¡°For half a year, I¡¯ve been wholeheartedly cultivating, and my realm has reached thete Nascent Soul realm! You¡¯re also a Nascent Soul cultivator, you know a Nascent Soul cultivator needs a very long time to break through each realm! And I really didn¡¯t expect that after just one night, you¡¯d get pregnant!¡± ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t say it!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s face immediately flushed red. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover Yang Chen¡¯s mouth. Thinking of that night, she felt utterly shy. The two of them were really too wild. Under the moonlight, they actually ¡­ s. At this moment, Yang Chen¡¯s hand caressing Zhao Shirou¡¯s belly suddenly froze. A golden light faintly emanated from Zhao Shirou¡¯s belly. ¡°This?¡± Yang Chen was astonished. Zhao Shirou was also very surprised. Obviously, this was the first time this had happened. ¡°Fetal golden radiance! Our son¡¯s talent is extraordinary!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice held some excitement. He had read about it in ancient books before. Some supreme prodigies would disy various unusual signs even as fetuses. Fetal golden radiance was one of them. ¡°Fetal golden radiance?¡± Zhao Shirou was also full of joyful surprise. ¡°Brother Chen, your bloodline is really powerful! It must be that the child sensed your aura as the father, causing a bloodline resonance, and thus produced the golden light!¡± Zhao Shirou referred to Yang Chen as ¡°Brother Chen¡± again. Her tone was full of delight. Naturally, the more extraordinary talent her unborn child had, the better. ¡°Come, Ruo¡¯er, sit down and let me listen!¡± Yang Chen made Zhao Shirou sit on a chair and said. ¡°Annoying!¡± Zhao Shirou pouted coquettishly, but her beautiful eyes were full of joy. Her already charming face now looked infinitely alluring. Meanwhile, Li Hao, with a dignified aura in his dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne in the throne room. After reviewing and marking all the memorials in his hand, Li Hao exhaled a long breath. At this time, a person slowly entered the great hall. He had a pale face without a beard, a middle-aged eunuch. ¡°Your Majesty, this servant has brought the medicine!¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Hao raised his eyebrows. He stood up, taking the medicine bottle from the eunuch¡¯s hand. ¡°Is this medicine effective for a Nascent Soul cultivator?¡± ¡°Your Majesty, rest assured, it will work on anyone below the Soul Transformation realm!¡± The eunuch¡¯s voice was firm. ¡°Very good, heheh!¡± A cruel smile appeared on Li Hao¡¯s face. The eunuch at the side couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Your Majesty, are you really going to do this? After all, she is your mother! And also a Nascent Soul cultivator! Even if sessful, once the Queen Dowager gets enraged, with your current power, no one can stop her! At that time, Your Majesty ¡­¡± Li Hao¡¯s face darkened and he said coldly: ¡°That bastard must die! I am the sovereign of this nation, destined to rule the world, unify allnds under heaven, and build an evesting imperial dynasty to be a great eternal emperor! How could my mother get pregnant?! This is a humiliation, a tremendous humiliation! The mother-son rtionship hassted decades, and she dotes on me the most! Even if she knows it was me, my mother will forgive me!¡± Li Hao said sinisterly, his killing intent growing denser, gradually tinged with a hint of madness. The eunuch below did not continue speaking, but had already prepared to flee. Li Hao left room. He prepared a spiritual chicken soup, then opened the bottle and poured all the gray liquid into the soup. He gently stirred the soup with a spoon to mix it evenly. Then, Li Hao carried the food container and went to Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce. ¡°Queen Mother, Hao¡¯er hase to see you!¡± Li Hao called out loudly. ¡°Hao¡¯er, Hao¡¯er hase!¡± Zhao Shirou hurriedly wiped her mouth and red at Yang Chen with her beautiful eyes. Then she tidied up the stray strands of hair on her charming face. She got up hastily and walked out of the side hall. Li Hao had also entered the main hall at this time. Seeing Zhao Shirou¡¯s bulging belly, a flicker of obscure killing intent shed in his eyes. But it quickly disappeared. Reced by a sunny smile. ¡°Queen Mother, I cooked a pot of spiritual chicken soup for you, it¡¯s very good for your body, drink it quickly!¡± ¡°You cooked chicken soup for Queen Mother? Hao¡¯er, when did you have time for this?¡± A flush of joy and gratitude appeared on Zhao Shirou¡¯s charming face. Hao¡¯er really has grown up. He even knows to take care of his Queen Mother now. It seems Hao¡¯er doesn¡¯t resent the younger sibling in my womb. Zhao Shirou took the food container and opened it. A rich fragrance wafted out. ¡°It smells so good, Hao¡¯er! Mother didn¡¯t expect you to have such skills!¡± Zhao Shirou sniffed appreciatively. Li Hao immediately smiled and said: ¡°I specially learned it! Queen Mother, drink it quickly! Otherwise it¡¯ll get cold soon!¡± Li Hao said, his eyes full of anticipation. But just then, an untimely voice that made Li Hao¡¯s hair stand on end and blood boil slowly came: ¡°Ah, Hao¡¯er hase! And even brought chicken soup, Hao¡¯er is really such a filial child!¡±@@novelbin@@ Yang Chen¡¯s voice carried a few notes of surprise, some praise, and a hint of smugness. Li Hao¡¯s expression instantly turned vicious. He turned his head and red ferociously at Yang Chen, murderous intent seemingly about to erupt. ¡°Yang Chen, bastard, why are you here?¡± Yang Chen looked at him with amusement. ¡°Hao¡¯er, look at how you¡¯re speaking! Of course Uncle Yang came to see your mother! She¡¯s been pregnant for six months, Uncle Yang hasn¡¯te for a while, she even got angry at Uncle Yang just now!¡± Yang Chen said, ncing at Zhao Shirou¡¯s bulging belly. Then he walked over to Li Hao¡¯s side and patted him lightly on the shoulder. ¡°Hao¡¯er, you¡¯re going to have a younger brother soon! Uncle Yang thinks you must be very happy now!¡± Chapter 94 Chapter 94 ¡°You must be very happy now!¡± Yang Chen said slowly. A gentle smile on his face, like an elder, exuding kindness and affection. However, Li Hao¡¯s gaze was extremely ferocious at this moment. The killing intent in his eyes towards Yang Chen seemed about to erupt. Bastard! Li Hao growled in his heart. His fists clenched tightly. His body trembling uncontrobly. Seeing Yang Chen, he was reminded of half a year ago when he was locked outside the room, watching Qingxuan and this bastard enter the room together to practice the dual cultivation technique he had given them. A full half an hour!* [*two hours.] And that night, outside this pce, he heard those monotonous sounds containing all the human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure. Damn it! Li Hao roared in his heart. For half a year, Yang Chen had been absent. He had already suppressed those feelings. But now, seeing Yang Chen again, all the past humiliation surged into his heart instantly. Moreover, this bastard appeared and called himself Uncle Yang right away. And the child in the mother¡¯s womb still belonged to him, the bastard child.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om [Ding! After half a year, the host arrogantly regarded himself as an elder again and unted Zhao Shirou¡¯s six-month pregnancy. Li Hao was instantly triggered. You have plundered Li Hao¡¯s Providence Luck by 500 points. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Tsk tsk. Yang Chen chuckled inwardly. Another 500 VPs gained. Hao¡¯er must be really furious now. After all, Hao¡¯er is about to have a little brother soon. And the father of his little brother is his Uncle Yang. Hehe. Seeing Li Hao forcefully suppressing his anger, Yang Chen continued: ¡°Hao¡¯er, although you have quite a few imperial brothers, the brotherly feelings among the royals are thin. Moreover, those brothers of yours used to bully you a lot, each of them coveting your position as the Crown Prince! However, the child in your mother¡¯s womb is different from them! After your little brother is born, he will be your most solid backing in the future! As the elder brother, you must take good care of him in the future! The four of us will be a true family!¡± Yang Chen said slowly. Then he walked over to Zhao Shirou¡¯s side. His palm gently caressing her protruding belly. At this moment, Zhao Shirou also had an affectionate look on her face. She leaned against Yang Chen¡¯s shoulder coquettishly and said in a spoiled tone: ¡°Brother Chen, how do you know it¡¯s definitely a son?¡± Yang Chen immediately smiled. ¡°I can naturally sense whether my child is a son or not! It¡¯s definitely a son! Why don¡¯t we ask Hao¡¯er?¡± Saying that, Yang Chen looked at Li Hao. ¡°Hao¡¯er, do you think it¡¯s a little brother or a little sister?¡± Yang Chen, you motherfucker*! You¡¯ve gone too far in bullying me! Damn it, damn it! [TL: *true fact. ©×©¥©× ¥Î( ©b-©b¥Î)] Li Hao cursed in his heart. He felt his rage surging, rushing straight to his head. His heart filled with hatred, wanting to curse Yang Chen¡¯s entire family¡¯s womenfolk to vent his anger. But ¡­ During this half year, he had grown a lot. His temperament had also be moreposed. He knew he was no match for Yang Chen at the moment. Moreover, this bastard didn¡¯t care about his curses at all. Besides, he came here today to make his mother drink this bowl of chicken soup. Then let her miscarry. Get rid of that little bastard. So he could only endure it. A smallck of patience would ruin a grand n. Li Hao forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart. He gave Yang Chen a gloomy look. A hint of indiscernible madness shed in his expression. Yang Chen, you can gloat all you want! Hmph, you won¡¯t beughing for long! At that time, when you see your own son turn into a pool of blood with your own eyes, let¡¯s see if you can stillugh? Li Hao picked up the chicken soup. ¡°Mother, the chicken soup is getting cold! You should drink it while it¡¯s hot! This spiritual chicken soup is made from White Feather Chickens, very nourishing!¡± Li Hao said slowly. His voice didn¡¯t sound abnormal. Yang Chen was immediately puzzled. This kid can endure so much now? Not bad, not bad. You¡¯re making progress. Worthy of being my stepson. ¡°Thank you, Hao¡¯er! Mother will drink it now!¡± Zhao Shirou took the chicken soup and began to sip it. ¡°Mmm, not bad! Hao¡¯er, Mother didn¡¯t expect you to have such skills!¡± Zhao Shirou praised as she drank. Although Yang Chen felt something odd about the chicken soup, he didn¡¯t stop her. After all, this was a good opportunity for a mother and son to turn against each other! As a viin, how could he miss this? Moreover, even if the chicken soup was truly poisoned, he was confident he could resolve it without affecting the child in Zhao Shirou¡¯s womb. After all, that child had a powerful bloodline that couldn¡¯t be dealt with by just any poison. Seeing his mother finish the chicken soup, Li Hao couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The n was proceeding normally. There were no idents caused by the appearance of this bastard Yang Chen. Heh heh. Yang Chen, aren¡¯t you the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect? Aren¡¯t you powerful? Howe you didn¡¯t notice the poison in the chicken soup? Soon, your son will turn into a pool of blood! Hahaha! And I won¡¯t be affected. After all, my mother and I have a decades-long mother-son bond. Once this little bastard dies, I¡¯ll be my mother¡¯s only son. Even if she knows I poisoned him, she won¡¯t do anything to me! The corners of Li Hao¡¯s mouth curved into a cruel arc, which he quickly concealed. ¡°Shiru, is the chicken soup delicious?¡± Seeing Zhao Shirou looking unsatisfied, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Mmm, the taste is really good! Brother Chen, why don¡¯t you have some too?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Chen immediately smiled. ¡°No need, you drink it! How can I snatch food from you!¡± ¡°Ah, how naughty! Hao¡¯er is still here!¡± At the words ¡°snatch food,¡± Zhao Shirou was instantly reminded of the scene in the side pce earlier. She couldn¡¯t help but protest coquettishly. Her charming face blushed with shyness. Watching his mother disy a coquettish demeanor in front of Yang Chen that he had never seen before, Li Hao felt the mes of anger raging in his heart. ¡°Damn it! Yang Chen, you motherfucker! Little bastard, you¡¯d better die soon! After you die, remember to be an evil spirit and keep haunting your dad!¡± A ferocious look shed in Li Hao¡¯s eyes. Then he said: ¡°Mother, I still have some matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll leave first!¡± Before Zhao Shirou could speak, Yang Chen said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, you¡¯re leaving so soon? Uncle hasn¡¯t said a few words to you yet!¡± Chapter 95 Chapter 95 ¡°It¡¯s been half a year since us father and sonst met!¡± Yang Chen, you bastard! Li Hao gritted his teeth in anger, his fists clenched tightly, nails digging into his flesh. But he still forcefully endured it. ¡°Hmph!¡± With a cold snort, Li Hao turned and left the pce. ¡°Brother Chen, this chicken soup is really good, let me have another bowl! This is made by Hao¡¯er for his little brother! As the mother, I should drink more!¡± Zhao Shirou was clearly very happy that Li Hao voluntarily brought the chicken soup. Her charming face radiated happiness. As she spoke, she prepared to pour herself another bowl. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, Zhao Shirou let out a painful cry. ¡°What¡¯s wrong Shiru?¡± Yang Chen hurriedly supported her and said. Zhao Shirou¡¯s face turned deathly pale. ¡°Brother Chen, my stomach, it hurts so much!¡± Zhao Shirou said in a trembling voice. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. ¡°Shiru, you¡¯re a Nascent Soul cultivator! How can your stomach be hurting?¡± Yang Chen said puzzledly. ¡°Is the child kicking you? No, it can¡¯t be! It¡¯s only six months along!¡± Zhao Shirou said, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground. She began circting her true qi to examine her body internally. Just a momentter, she opened her eyes. ¡°Brother Chen, I, I¡¯ve been poisoned! The toxicity is directly threatening the fetus in my womb! This poison is so potent, I can¡¯t even control it!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice carried panic. With her Seventh stage Nascent Soul cultivation, she was unable to expel the poison. If the poison spread to the fetus in her womb. Then the child would ¡­ ¡°Shiru, don¡¯t panic! First think about whether you ate anything? Find the source of the poison first!¡± Yang Chen guided her at this time. ¡°Ate something? Source of the poison?¡± Zhao Shirou paused. Then, she looked at the chicken soup beside her. Immediately, her beautiful eyes widened. ¡°It¡¯s Hao¡¯er! It¡¯s him!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice was filled with sadness and grief. ¡°Hao¡¯er poisoned it! He actually poisoned me! I should have realized it earlier, ever since I got pregnant, he¡¯s looked gloomy whenever he saw me! Yet he suddenly brought me nourishing chicken soup! I thought he hade around, but it turned out to be an attempt to poison my child! Li Hao, that beast, I raised him for decades, yet he treats me like this!¡± *** Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyes were filled with grief and regret. ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s all my fault! I didn¡¯t expect Hao would be so insanely cruel! He actually poisoned me, his own mother! All these years, I raised him like my own son! But he treated me like this! If anything happens to our child, I will never forgive him! Brother Chen, I¡¯m so sorry!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s voice choked up as tears gradually slid down her cheeks. Yang Chen gently stroked her face, wiping away her tears. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Rou¡¯er, nothing will happen with me here! Hao¡¯er went too far! I didn¡¯t expect he would poison you, his own mother! I was careless and didn¡¯t check the chicken soup!¡± Yang Chen said softly,forting her. [Ding! Li Hao poisoned his mother Zhao Shirou, causing her to resent him. The mother-son rtionship has strained. Li Hao, the Son of Destiny, has lost 2000 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 2000 VPs!] The system voice sounded. Yang Chen¡¯s heart bloomed with joy. Another 2000 VPs gained. Hao¡¯er, ah, Hao¡¯er. You truly live up to being your father¡¯s good son. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯ll go capture Hao¡¯er! Force him to hand over the antidote! This is our child, we can¡¯t let anything happen to it!¡± Zhao Shirou said, trying to get up. But Yang Chen stopped her. ¡°Rou¡¯er, you¡¯re a Seventh stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator with the Profound Yin Physique! This poison left even you powerless, it must be extremely potent! Hao¡¯er is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he may have found the poison, but not necessarily the antidote!¡± ¡°Then what do we do?¡± Zhao Shirou suddenly panicked. Feeling the poison nearing her abdomen. Zhao Shirou choked out: ¡°But this is our child! If anything happens to it, I don¡¯t want to live either!¡± Yang Chen held her in his embrace. Speaking softly: ¡°There is a way, Rou¡¯er! You forgot, I refined a dragon bone! Outside the Northern Spiritual Realm, there are dragon ns, the overlords of the Demonic Race! Legend has it the true dragon essence, the quintessence of yang, can dispel all yin and cold poisons!¡± ¡°True dragon essence?¡± Zhao Shirou was stunned, then asked: ¡°Brother Chen, do you have any?¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°The dragon¡¯s spine is its most important bone, I fused with it, causing great changes in my body! My blood has turned golden! Of course I have true dragon essence!¡± Hearing this, Zhao Shirou rejoiced. Urgently saying: ¡°Then quickly give me your essence! About that ¡­¡± The corner of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved into an amused smile. He patted Zhao Shirou¡¯s head. ¡°Rou¡¯er, let¡¯s go to your bedchambers in the side pce! It wouldn¡¯t be good if a pce maid suddenly walked in here!¡± Upon hearing this, although anxious, Zhao Shirou understood. The true dragon essence was obviously Yang Chen¡¯s. Her face immediately flushed red. She couldn¡¯t help giving Yang Chen a re. But still quickly pulled him into the bedchambers of the side pce. Meanwhile, after leaving Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, Li Hao went straight to the. But as soon as he entered the Tianyang Hall. He froze. Because someone dared to sit on the dragon throne, which only he, the sovereign, was allowed to sit on. ¡°Courting death!¡± Li Hao¡¯s previously smug expression instantly darkened. The dragon throne symbolized imperial authority. Representing supreme, unmatched power. As the ruler, he absolutely would not allow his majesty to be defiled or challenged. Daring to sit on the dragon throne was a crime punishable by dismemberment and extermination of nine ns.@@novelbin@@ ¡°You dare sit on My dragon throne! Don¡¯t you know this crime requires exterminating nine ns? Get off of it now!¡± Li Hao roared angrily. The figure on the dragon throne was reading a memorial tablet, not showing his face. As Li Hao spoke, he looked up. Li Hao was stunned. ¡°Li Jun? You have such audacity! I¡¯ve long seen your disloyal heart! You actually dared to sit on My dragon throne privately, are you trying to rebel and usurp the throne?¡± Li Hao said sternly, his voice full of majestic authority. But Li Jun¡¯s face was full of disdain. ¡°Tsk! Li Hao, your cultivation is weak, yet you put on such airs! A mere Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, daring to be so arrogant before my Golden Core cultivation!¡± ¡°You! You dare speak to Methis way! Such nerve!¡± Li Hao was stunned, his face darkening like water, filled with killing intent. During the enthronement ceremony, Li Jun was respectful and courteous. He even suggested paying respects to the Queen Mother. Li Hao originally thought Li Jun hadpletely submitted. Never expecting his hidden disloyalty ran so deep. ¡°Such nerve? Hmph, I¡¯ve always had big guts!¡± Li Jun rose from the dragon throne, slowly approaching Li Hao. ¡°This throne was meant to be mine! When Father was alive, he prepared to make me the Crown Prince! If not for your mother being the Holy Son¡¯s woman, how could you be the sovereign? Heh, I envy that Holy Son, since your mother is truly a beauty of unmatched grace and charm, tsk tsk!¡± ¡°You¡¯re seeking death!¡± Li Hao¡¯s eyes burned with killing intent, no longer able to tolerate this. He threw a punch filled with imperial might straight at Li Jun¡¯s head. But Li Jun easily caught his punch brimming with regal power. Then, with a surge of inner qi, He sent Li Hao flying with a palm strike, coughing up blood. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Li Haonded heavily on the ground. ¡°Pah!¡± Another mouthful of fresh blood spewed out. His aura instantly dimmed and his face turned pale. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Li Hao couldn¡¯t believe it. Li Jun sneered disdainfully: ¡°How is it not possible! You¡¯re just a worthless Eighth stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. Be thankful you didn¡¯t die from my palm!¡± At this moment, dozens of guards rushed over. ¡°Your Majesty!¡± ¡°Your Majesty!¡± The guards drew their weapons toward Li Jun. ¡°Seize him for Me!¡± Li Hao roared. Just as the guards were about to move, Li Jun stepped directly on Li Hao¡¯s face, crashing his just raised head into the ground. ¡°Ah!¡± Li Hao howled in rage, struggling to break free. But the gap between Foundation Establishment and Fourth stage Golden Core realm couldn¡¯t be bridged by bloodline talent. Li Jun¡¯s foot was like an immovable mountain, pinning Li Hao downpletely. ¡°This is your so-called Majesty? Groveling under this Prince¡¯s foot like a dead dog! Hahaha! Li Hao, you really do look like a dead dog now!¡± *** ¡°You¡¯re courting death, Li Jun! I will kill you! Tear you to pieces!¡± Li Hao struggled under Li Jun¡¯s foot, veins bulging in anger. He could only roar in frustration. ¡°Courting death? Kill me? Do you believe I can kill you right now?¡± Li Jun snorted coldly, applying more pressure with his foot. Li Hao¡¯s angry face pressed harder against the floor, his skin tearing from the friction, causing blood to flow. Crack! Several of his teeth were knocked out, blood mixing with saliva, making him look pitiful. ¡°Li Hao, your head is really tough! But, I want to see how tough it is! Is it your head that¡¯s tough, or my foot?¡± Li Jun increased the pressure, dragging Li Hao¡¯s head back and forth across the floor. Li Hao felt excruciating pain in his head, knowing that Li Jun was intent on killing him. If this continued, he would surely die. Despite being a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm, his head couldn¡¯t withstand such abuse. ¡°Li Jun, how dare you treat me like this! I am the ruler of the Liyang Kingdom, the Emperor*!¡± [*Going forward, I¡¯ll be tranting the terms ¡°King,¡± ¡°Queen,¡± ¡°Queen Mother,¡± and ¡°Queen Dowager¡± to their respective alternates in terms of empire; however, the term ¡°Liyang Kingdom¡± will be retained will be addressed as a kingdom.] Li Hao howled. ¡°So what if you are the ruler of Liyang Kingdom! If I kill you, I will be the ruler!¡± Li Jun¡¯s face was full of disdain. Taking advantage of Li Jun¡¯s momentary distraction, Li Hao spat out blood and said coldly: ¡°My mother is ate-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! She is the strongest person in Liyang Kingdom right now! If you dare to kill me, you will die too!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Upon hearing this, Li Junughed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just poison your mother? Does she still have the strength to care about your life or death?¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Li Hao was stunned. ¡°How do I know? Because I helped you find that poison, my dear brother!¡± Li Junughed proudly. ¡°Hand over the imperial seal and write an abdication decree, and I will let you die quickly!¡± ¡°Dream on! If you kill me, my mother won¡¯t let you go! You bastard!¡±@@novelbin@@ Li Hao hissed hoarsely. Li Jun stomped on his head again, dragging him across the pce floor like a rag, leaving long streaks of blood. ¡°Will you hand it over? Will you write it?¡± Meanwhile, in Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, Yang Cheny on a chair, watching Zhao Shirou hurriedly sit down cross-legged, her face flushed and hair disheveled, filled with amusement. Hao¡¯er, you are truly a good son to your father. You¡¯ve helped me once again. A momentter, the glow around Zhao Shirou dissipated. She eximed joyfully: ¡°Brother Chen, it really worked! The toxins in my body arepletely removed!¡± Yang Chen smiled immediately: ¡°Of course! This is a great thing!¡± ¡°Annoying!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s face turned red again, thinking about what had just happened, filled her with embarrassment. Brother Chen, you are really naughty. But luckily, you were here, or else the child wouldn¡¯t have survived. Yang Chen stood up, holding her in his arms, gently stroking her bulging belly, smiling: ¡°Our son is blessed and will surely achieve great things in the future!¡± ¡°Annoying, do you like sons that much?¡± Zhao Shirou teased: ¡°What if it¡¯s a daughter? Won¡¯t you like her?¡± Yang Chen immediately said: ¡°How could that be? Whether it¡¯s a boy or a girl, they are the fruits of our love! I will love them equally!¡± ¡°Bad guy!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyes were full of charm, her body soft in Yang Chen¡¯s arms. At this moment, an untimely voice sounded outside the hall. ¡°Empress Dowager, the Second Prince Li Jun has rebelled! He is now suppressing the Emperor in the Tianyang Hall, demanding the imperial seal and threatening to kill him! Empress Dowager, please intervene and save the Emperor!¡± The voice was urgent. Yang Chen and Zhao Shirou were both startled. Li Jun rebelled? Suppressing Li Hao? Zhao Shirou¡¯s charming face showed hesitation and struggle. Just now, Hao¡¯er poisoned her, attempting to kill her unborn child. Now, he wanted her to intervene to save him? Yang Chen looked at Zhao Shirou, knowing she still wanted to save Li Hao. Although she was angry earlier, the toxins were now removed. However, her pride made it difficult to act. Yang Chen, seeing this, said: ¡°Rou¡¯er, Hao¡¯er is still a child! Although his actions were extreme, as elders, we should give him a chance to repent! After all, he is your son whom you raised for decades!¡± Yang Chen certainly wouldn¡¯t let Li Hao die now. That kid still had thousands of VPs left. Moreover, he had to die at Yang Chen¡¯s hands to ensure the reward for defeating the Chosen One. ¡°Brother Chen, you are so kind!¡± Zhao Shirou nestled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, filled with emotion. Hao¡¯er, that bastard, poisoned her, almost harming Brother Chen¡¯s child. But Brother Chen did not resent him, even giving him a chance to repent. Hao¡¯er, I hope you can forget your hatred this time and ept Brother Chen. He is truly a good stepfather, very kind and tolerant to you. Yang Chen stroked Zhao Shirou¡¯s charming cheek. ¡°Fool, I¡¯ve said I will treat Hao¡¯er as my own son! Since I love you, I cannot ignore Hao¡¯er!¡± ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Zhao Shirou sighed softly. She had been cultivating alone for hundreds of years, never hearing such heartfelt words. Her heart filled with love, her body softened, and she couldn¡¯t help but raise her toes to wrap her arms around Yang Chen¡¯s neck. ¡°Mm, mm!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s pupils widened. Thinking about their recent contact, he hurriedly pushed her away. ¡°Brother Chen?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with affection, confused. Yang Chen said helplessly: ¡°Alright, Rou¡¯er, we have plenty of time in the future! Let¡¯s hurry to see Hao¡¯er now! Don¡¯t let him be beaten to death! Okay, listen to you, Brother Chen!¡± In the Tianyang Hall, Li Jun hadpletely let loose, not stopping the news from leaking. Many officials and various cultivation sects of Liyang Kingdom had arrived. Even Xu Qingxuan was among them. ¡°This is your emperor, the ruler of Liyang Kingdom? Like a dead dog, only fit to be trampled under my foot!¡± Li Jun¡¯s voice was filled with arrogance. Beside him stood two middle-aged men in ck robes, with flickering thunder and deep auras, both Nascent Soul cultivators. ¡°They are Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wind and Thunder Sect!¡± ¡°No wonder Li Jun is so arrogant, it turns out the Wind and Thunder Sect is backing him! But Li Hao is the emperor appointed by the Holy Son. Should we help?¡± Chapter 97 Chapter 97 ¡°Better not, although the Wind and Thunder Sect is not as powerful as the Xuantian Sect, it is still a top force. We can¡¯t afford to offend anyone!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good chance to suppress Li Hao a bit, he¡¯s been too arrogant!¡± The Nascent Soul cultivators of several families did not act. However, Xu Qingxuan stepped forward and said: ¡°Li Jun, Li Hao is the emperor appointed by the Holy Son! Are you not afraid of the Holy Son¡¯s wrath for insulting him?¡± ¡°Qingxuan!¡± Li Hao growled, his eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and humiliation. It was one thing to be humiliated by Yang Chen, but now he was being trampled by Li Jun. Worse, Qingxuan had to see this. Damn it! Li Jun, I will have you executed by a thousand cuts! Drag your concubines to the harem and ravage them! Li Hao roared internally. Li Jun looked at Xu Qingxuan and said coldly: ¡°The Liyang royal family does not need the Xuantian Sect to dictate! This is our family affair, none of the Holy Son¡¯s business!¡± ¡°How dare you ignore the Holy Son!¡± Xu Qingxuan shouted angrily. At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator beside Li Jun nced at Xu Qingxuan, and a thunderous roar erupted. A purple thunderbolt shot from his eyes, directly at Xu Qingxuan. With her cultivation at the Ninth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, she couldn¡¯t evade. If struck, she would die. Despair shed in Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes. But at that moment, a green light appeared before her. The thunderbolt struck it, creating only a ripple. ¡°Holy Son!?¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. She looked back to see Yang Chen¡¯s imposing figure approaching. ¡°How bold! Daring to harm a disciple of the Xuantian Sect!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s voice was heavy, filled with killing intent. As he spoke, a giant hand of green me enveloped the Nascent Soul cultivator. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s a Primordial Fire! Elder Zhao, save me!¡± The Nascent Soul cultivator screamed. Lightning flickered within the giant hand but was ineffective. Only cries of pain came from within. ¡°Holy Son of Xuantian, Elder Lei is a core elder of Wind and Thunder Sect. If you kill him, are you dering war between Xuantian Sect and Wind and Thunder Sect?¡± Another Nascent Soul cultivator of Wind and Thunder Sect shouted angrily but didn¡¯t dare to intervene. The ming giant hand exuded a potent aura of death. ¡°A mere Fifth stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator can be a core elder of Wind and Thunder Sect! With such strength, does your Wind and Thunder Sect think it can match the Xuantian Sect?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s tone was full of disdain. The gap between Wind and Thunder Sect and Xuantian Sect was not just in the number of cultivators but also in their quality. However, at this moment, a sh of lightning dispersed the ming giant hand, followed by a powerful pressure that forced all cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to their knees. ¡°Soul Formation Realm!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a Soul Formation Realm cultivator!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The n leaders of various cultivation families, though not kneeling, were drenched in cold sweat. Lightning coalesced into an elderly man with white hair and purple eyes, emanating endless thunderbolts, ready to destroy the world at any moment. The Nascent Soul cultivator he saved was in tattered clothes and unconscious. ¡°As expected of the Xuantian Sect¡¯s sole direct disciple of the Sect Master!¡± ¡°In the Northern Spiritual Realm, not to mention the younger generation, even among us old guys at the Soul Formation Realm, few can match you!¡± The old man¡¯s voice was like rumbling thunder, his heart shaken. A hint of murderous intent shed in his eyes. This young man was too terrifying. Given a millennium, who in the Northern Spiritual Realm could be his opponent? Would there be any ce for Wind and Thunder Sect? ¡°Great Elder!¡± Another Nascent Soul cultivator saluted hastily. Li Jun, standing on Li Hao¡¯s head, looked excited. The Great Elder was a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, representing invincibility in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Even the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect could not rival a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Today, the throne would be his! ¡°So, it¡¯s the Great Elder of Wind and Thunder Sect!¡± ¡°It seems Wind and Thunder Sect is determined to take over Liyang Kingdom!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s aura surged, resisting the elder¡¯s pressure, allowing the others to stand. ¡°Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, this is an internal matter of Liyang Kingdom! We are outsiders; it¡¯s better not to interfere! Let the two brothers decide who will be the ruler!¡± Li Jun¡¯s mouth curved into a smile, looking at Li Hao, whoy on the ground like a dead dog. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou approached, seeing her son in such a pitiful state, her eyes filled with reluctance. ¡°Rou¡¯er, don¡¯t worry!¡± Yang Chen held her shoulders, addressing the elder: ¡°The Great Elder is an outsider! But this Holy Son is not an outsider!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± The elder was puzzled, his eyes showing confusion. Yang Chen, holding Zhao Shirou¡¯s shoulders, looked at Li Hao, his mouth full of blood, and smiled. ¡°Hao¡¯er, is Uncle Yang an outsider? Tell the Great Elder about your rtionship with Uncle Yang!¡± *** Li Hao was pinned under Li Jun¡¯s foot, his face covered in blood. Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, a surge of fury rushed to his head. Bastard! Yang Chen, damn you! Li Hao cursed internally. He knew Yang Chen¡¯s intentions all too well. This bastard was taking advantage of his predicament, forcing him to utter that detestable title. Veins bulged on Li Hao¡¯s face as he red fiercely at Yang Chen. Even though he was being humiliated under Li Jun¡¯s foot, the humiliation from Yang Chen was far worse. This bastard had slept with his mother, and now she was pregnant with his child. He was being forced to acknowledge the reality of Yang Chen as his stepfather. Moreover, judging by his mother¡¯s current state, the poison he used on her had no effect, and that brat survived. Damn it! ¡°Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, it seems you two have no real rtionship! In my opinion, let the brothers decide the throne¡¯s ownership themselves!¡± ¡°Jun¡¯er!¡± The Great Elder of Wind and Thunder Sect said, ncing at Li Jun. Li Jun, being smart, immediately understood and applied more pressure. Crunch! Crunch! Crack! The sound of teeth and bones breaking echoed. Li Hao¡¯s face twisted in pain as Li Jun ground his head underfoot, blood flowing freely. Even a beggar on the street would remain silent upon witnessing this. [Ding, Li Hao is humiliated underfoot, losing 500 points of Providence Luck. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly. Hao¡¯er, why resist? Just call me father, isn¡¯t it easier? After all, I am your stepfather. Your mother carries my child; you will soon have a sibling. Why not acknowledge this fact? Seeing you suffer makes me feel pity. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Zhao Shirou couldn¡¯t help but cry out: ¡°Stop being stubborn! If you don¡¯t acknowledge your rtionship with Brother Chen, how can he save you?¡± Despite her fury over Li Hao poisoning her, the decades of maternal bond softened her heart. Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Yang Chen nced at her. If Zhao Shirou hadn¡¯t been pregnant, she would have acted regardless of the opponent¡¯s strength. But now, she restrained herself, indicating how deeply Li Hao¡¯s betrayal hurt her. The mother-son bond was nearly severed, which was advantageous for Yang Chen. If Li Hao died, she wouldn¡¯t be too heartbroken and could focus on raising their child. ¡°Hao¡¯er, listen to your mother. Don¡¯t be stubborn! We are family; why torment yourself?¡± Yang Chen said with feigned pity. Yang Chen, damn you!@@novelbin@@ You scoundrel, bastard! Li Hao cursed inwardly, wanting to resist to the death. But if this continued, he would really die. With just Li Junfeng, he might gamble on survival. But now, with a Soul Transformation realm cultivator backing Li Junfeng, there was no escape. Dying here would be a waste. Li Hao, torn between pride and survival, chose thetter. He strained to lift Li Junfeng¡¯s foot slightly, barely able to speak. ¡°Yang ¡­ Uncle Yang! He¡¯s ¡­ my stepfather!¡± Li Hao endured the humiliation and spoke with difficulty. However, having been ground for so long, many of his teeth were missing, making his speech unclear. Li Junfeng scolded: ¡°Li Hao, are you mute? Speak clearly! No one can save you today!¡± Li Junfeng enjoyed torturing Li Hao, reveling in the revenge for past humiliations. ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao, filled with rage, gave in again. ¡°Uncle Yang is my stepfather! He is my stepfather! My stepfather! Ah!¡± Li Hao shouted, copsing emotionally. He had acknowledged Yang Chen as his stepfather in front of his mother, fianc¨¦e, and the kingdom¡¯s officials and cultivators. The deep-seated humiliation would haunt him forever. [Ding, Li Hao has publicly acknowledged you as his stepfather, and has lost 3000 point of Providence Luck. The host has gained 3000 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved again. Another 3000 points. This blow was severe for Hao¡¯er. When he killed Li Hao¡¯s father, he only gained 2000 points. Forcing him to admit Yang Chen as his stepfather was a greater humiliation than killing his father. Hao¡¯er, your thoughts are unique. But your Providence Luck is nearly exhausted. From over 20,000 points, you now have only 1000 left. ¡°Great Elder, did you hear? Hao¡¯er called me stepfather! This Holy Son is Hao¡¯er¡¯s stepfather, not an outsider! Li Junfeng, lift your dog foot off my son¡¯s face, or you will die!¡± Yang Chen said coldly, his voice filled with killing intent. Li Junfeng, a mere Golden Core cultivator, trembled and lifted his foot. ¡°Ah!¡± Li Hao exhaled heavily, struggling to stand. He spat out blood from his severe injuries, wiped his mouth, and stood straight, only to meet the contemptuous and pitying gazes of everyone around him. Especially from his mother and fianc¨¦e, their disdainful looks made him almost cough up blood again. Yang Chen, damn you! I will kill you, make you call me grandfather a thousand times! And you, Li Junfeng, you will die! Your concubines will be mine to toy with! Li Hao roared internally, unable to voice his hatred aloud. He moved quickly away from Li Junfeng, approaching Zhao Shirou. ¡°Mother!¡± Li Hao called softly, but Zhao Shirou coldly retorted: ¡°Don¡¯t call me mother!¡± She turned away, refusing to look at him. ¡°Damn, even mother rejects me!¡± Li Hao clenched his fists, furious. His once close rtionship with his mother had never seen such disdain. [Ding, Zhao Shirou has shown disdain and anger towards Li Hao for the first time, causing Li Hao to lose 500 points of Providence Luck! The host has gained 500 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly. Unexpectedly, this earned him points. In Li Hao¡¯s heart, Zhao Shirou was his reverse scale. Yang Chen sincerely said: ¡°Hao¡¯er, don¡¯t me your mother. You poisoned her! Thankfully, Yang Uncle had the True Dragon Essence to detoxify her, or your brother would¡¯ve been in danger!¡± Yang Chen patted Zhao Shirou¡¯s shoulder: ¡°Rou¡¯er, don¡¯t be angry at Hao¡¯er anymore. As elders, we should be magnanimous! I believe Hao¡¯er was momentarily misguided and won¡¯t repeat his mistakes! Forgive him for my sake as his stepfather!¡± ¡°Brother Chen! He almost harmed our child!¡± Zhao Shirou frowned, her voice still cold. Yang Chen touched her belly gently: ¡°Our child will forgive his brother! Being angry is bad for the child! As a pregnant woman, you shouldn¡¯t stay angry!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you, Brother Chen!¡± Zhao Shirou, moved, leaned into Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. Li Hao, seeing Yang Chen openly show affection with his mother, felt his veins bulge in anger. His fists clenched, eyes filled with murderous intent. ¡°Yang Chen, damn you!¡± ¡°I will kill you, bastard!¡± He roared internally, his face flushed with rage and humiliation. *** ¡°Xuantian Holy Son, even though Li Hao is your stepson, I still believe that the throne of Liyang Kingdom should be taken by Li Junfeng,¡± said Lei Qianjue, the Grand Elder of the Wind and Thunder Sect. Lei Qianjue had been cultivating for over a thousand years and had entered the Nascent Soul stage more than three hundred years ago. He was a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator in the Northern Spiritual Realm. At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly and heavily, his tone leaving no room for argument. ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression froze slightly. ¡°Is the Grand Elder nning to act unreasonably?¡± ¡°Reason?¡± Lei Qianjue¡¯s eyes shed with lightning. Outside the main hall, dark clouds gathered, and bolts of lightning streaked through them. As a cultivator, he had already condensed his primordial spirit and could manipte the forces of heaven and earth. His emotional fluctuations alone could alter the weather. Thunder roared, and lightning danced among the dark clouds, creating a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere. The group of cultivators from Liyang Kingdom, even with Yang Chen resisting the pressure for them, still trembled in fear. A Soul Formation cultivator was the pinnacle of power in the Northern Spiritual Realm. The mere mention of a Soul Formation realm cultivator was enough to instill fear in people¡¯s hearts. After all, Liyang Kingdom had existed for ten thousand years without producing a single Soul Formation realm cultivator! Lei Qianjue said in a deep voice, ¡°Xuantian Holy Son, I have already given you face by sparing your stepson! If you know what¡¯s good for you, I won¡¯t make things difficult for you! This Liyang Kingdom is what my Wind and Thunder Sect has set its sights on!¡± Yang Chen immediatelyughed. ¡°Grand Elder, you are indeed imposing! But what if I don¡¯t know when to quit?¡± Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Lei Qianjue¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. The sky thundered louder, as if the end of the world was approaching. The might of a Soul Transformation cultivator was evident. Beside him, Zhao Shirou pulled on Yang Chen¡¯s sleeve and whispered, ¡°Brother Chen, the Grand Elder of the Wind and Thunder Sect is a Soul Transformation realm cultivator! It¡¯s better not to confront him head-on! Let Li Junfeng have the throne!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s tone was somewhat worried. Although Brother Chen had extraordinary talent, he was still only at the Late-stage Nascent Soul realm. The Grand Elder was a Soul Transformation realm cultivator and an elder of a top-tier power like the Wind and Thunder Sect. Brother Chen¡¯s identity as the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect might not matter to him. ¡°Rou¡¯er, don¡¯t worry!¡± Yang Chen patted her shoulder, indicating she should be at ease. ¡°The throne belongs to Hao¡¯er, and as his stepfather, I won¡¯t watch my son be bullied by outsiders! Right, Hao¡¯er?¡± Yang Chen looked at Li Hao. At this moment, Li Hao¡¯s fists were clenched tightly, his eyes fierce. Damn it, you can be as smug as you want now. Don¡¯t get too carried away. ¡°It seems the Holy Son is determined to oppose me! In that case, I¡¯ll have to suppress you first! Then, let your master, the Lord of Xuantian Sect,e to Wind and Thunder Sect to ask for you!¡± As Lei Qianjue finished speaking, a bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Yang Chen. Yang Chen¡¯s true energy surged, pushing Zhao Shirou and the group of Liyang Kingdom cultivators away. ¡°Suppress me? Grand Elder, you are not qualified!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes were proud. Having reached the Eight stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he also wanted to find an opponent to test his realbat power. He was worried that he might identally kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Lei Qianjue, being a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, was just right for practice. Facing the unstoppable purple lightning, Yang Chen threw a punch. Bang! A green me condensed into an ancient green lotus. The Green Lotus Heavenly me burned wildly, seeming to incinerate everything. Even the lightning was extinguished in an instant. ¡°No wonder, it¡¯s the Green Lotus Heavenly me! It allows you, a mere Eight stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator, to withstand one of my attacks! But I want to see how many attacks you can take!¡± Lei Qianjue¡¯s old face showed anger. Failing to injure Yang Chen in one move made him lose face. Lightning erupted from his body, turning the entire Tianyang Hall into a sea of lightning. Thunder dragons coiled and attacked Yang Chen. ¡°Bring it on!¡± Behind Yang Chen, a phantom of a demon god appeared, towering over a hundred feet tall, holding a giant axe, like an ancient demon god opening the heavens. One sh released a murderous aura that surged to the sky.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Boom! The Tianyang Hall, despite being built by the Liyang imperial family over ten thousand years, couldn¡¯t withstand such an attack. It copsed instantly. Outside, everyone was trembling with fear. ¡°Is this the battle of Soul Transformation realm cultivators?¡± ¡°The Tianyang Hall turned into ruins!¡± ¡°The Holy Son can actually fight a Nascent Soul cultivator!¡± ¡°Such talent is monstrous!¡± ¡°In the future, the Xuantian Sect will definitely dominate the Northern Spiritual realm again!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s beautiful eyes were also full of shock. She thought Brother Chen might be able to fight a Soul Transformation realm cultivator when he reached the Tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. But now, at the Eighth stage, he could already fight a Soul Transformation realm cultivator. Such talent was unprecedented. She had read many ancient texts, which recorded some peerless geniuses who, relying on their talent, became famous through the ages. But even so, they could only fight Soul Transformation realm cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. But Brother Chen did it at the Eighth stage. With such talent and bloodline, it was no wonder that the fetus in her womb shone with golden light. ¡°Child, did you see that? That¡¯s your father! You must be as talented as your father!¡± Zhao Shirou gently stroked her belly, whispering. Her beautiful eyes were full of tender affection as she looked at Yang Chen. Xu Qingxuan stared at Yang Chen in the sky with an infatuated look, her heartpletely conquered by him. Not to mention being a maid, she would be willing to be a ve. In the field, only Li Hao had a dark face, clenching his fists tightly. ¡°Damn it!¡± Li Hao roared, his face twisted. The Tianyang Hall was the most important pce of the Liyang imperial family. Now it was destroyed. Destroyed was one thing. But his mother and fianc¨¦e were looking at Yang Chen with admiration. His mother was pregnant with Yang Chen¡¯s child. Qingxuan had spent two hours alone in a room with Yang Chen. ¡°Ah! Bitch, two bitches!¡± ¡°If this is the limit of the Grand Elder¡¯s strength, it¡¯s better for you to not interfere in Liyang¡¯s affairs!¡± Yang Chen said coldly after once again breaking the Thunder Dragon. Bathed in lightning, he looked like a peerless war god. Powerful force surged out, as if to suppress the world! In the sky, a demonic mountain hovered, seemingly ready to crush down at any moment! He now had a clear understanding of hisbat power. The Grand Elder of the Wind and Thunder Sect was at the First stage of the Soul Transformation stage. Using the 36 forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique, he could fight without losing. This meant that although he was at the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul stage, his strength was not inferior to the First stage of the Soul Transformation realm. He was quite satisfied with thisbat power. Lei Qianjue¡¯s old face was extremely gloomy. He, a Soul Transformation cultivator, the most powerful existence in the world, couldn¡¯t gain any advantage over a Nascent Soul junior. If today¡¯s battle were spread, he would be aughingstock in the Northern Spiritual realm. ¡°Damn it! This damn junior!¡± Lei Qianjue¡¯s eyes were dark and full of killing intent. At the moment he lost focus, Yang Chen had already appeared in front of him. ¡°Junior, you¡¯re courting death! I am a Thunder Cultivator, and you daree close to me! You don¡¯t know you¡¯ll die!¡± Lei Qianjue¡¯s eyes shed with fierceness. He had the intention to kill. A Nascent Soul junior who could fight a Soul Transformation cultivator was unprecedented in the Northern Spiritual realm. If this person didn¡¯t die, the Xuantian Sect would surely dominate the Northern Spiritual realm again. Now, this junior was recklessly approaching him. There wouldn¡¯t be another better opportunity to kill him. Chapter 100 Chapter 100 ¡°Netherworld Thunder Prison!¡± Lei Qianjue roared. Thousands of lightning bolts gathered around him, forming a prison of lightning that trapped Yang Chen within. But. Roar! A dragon¡¯s roar echoed. Yang Chen¡¯s body shone with golden light. He seemed to transform into a golden dragon, breaking through the lightning prison with a punch, hitting Lei Qianjue. Puff! Lei Qianjue was sent flying, spitting blood and pieces of his internal organs in the air. ¡°Die!¡± Lei Qianjue roared. Lightning shed, striking Yang Chen. However, it only shredded his clothes without causing any harm to his body. Yang Chen had fused with the spine of a divine dragon, his body was as tough as a true dragon. Lei Qianjue, being at the first level of the Soul Transformation stage, couldn¡¯t harm his body with a hurried attack. This fact surprised Yang Chen. The body, after fusing with the divine dragon¡¯s spine, although equivalent to the Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm in physical cultivation, had astonishing defense. Under the Soul Transformation stage, it was impossible to hurt him. Yang Chen¡¯s punch heavily injured Lei Qianjue, causing his chest to cave in. If not for therge amount of lightning he summoned to protect himself at thest moment, this punch would have exploded his body. Puff! Lei Qianjuended on the ground, spitting blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs. His old face instantly turned pale and weak. ¡°Body cultivator, you¡¯re actually a body cultivator! Damn it!¡± Lei Qianjue growled. Seeing Yang Chen unharmed after taking his lightning strike, he couldn¡¯t care less about threats. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled towards the horizon. He had intended to kill. That boy must have noticed. If he stayed here, he would likely die. Watching Lei Qianjue disappear, Yang Chen smirked. This old guy¡¯sbat power was mediocre, but his escape skills were top-notch. However, he didn¡¯t chase after him but transmitted a message to Yan Jiu. ¡°Yan Jiu, follow him quietly!¡± Landing from the sky, Yang Chen looked at the crowd but was slightly stunned. He noticed Zhao Shirou blushing, her beautiful eyes full of coy shyness. Xu Qingxuan had a look of discovery, her eyes wide open. Everyone else was staring at a specific spot on him. What was going on? Yang Chen looked down and was stunned. Damn. His clothes were all shredded by Lei Qianjue¡¯s lightning. Now, he waspletely naked. Yang Chen was about to take out some clothes to wear when he saw Li Hao¡¯s gaze. That look was full of shock, shame, and inferiority. A slight curve appeared on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. It seemed he had dealt a blow to Hao¡¯er. No wonder, as a body cultivator fused with a divine dragon¡¯s spine, this was his strength. Sigh, Hao¡¯er, don¡¯t feel inferior, your father really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. ¡°Brother Chen, aren¡¯t you going to put on some clothes!¡± Zhao Shirou came forward, her face red with embarrassment, her eyes resentful and a bit jealous. Her man shouldn¡¯t be seen by other women. Some female cultivators present had their eyes glued to him, especially that girl Xu Qingxuan, whose eyes almost popped out. ¡°Oh, I forgot! Sorry everyone, sorry!¡± Yang Chen pretended to realize and embarrassedly turned his body towards Li Hao, winking at him with a mischievous glint in his eye. ¡°Damn bastard!¡± Li Hao¡¯s face twisted in anger, clenching his fists tightly. That bastard did it on purpose to humiliate him. Damn you, Yang Chen! [Ding, host has shown off his physique, deeply shocking and humiliating Li Hao, causing his mindset to copse. Li Hao has lost 500 points of Providence Luck. The Host has gained 500 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was stunned. He could gain VPs like this as well? Hao¡¯er, you really make your father look at you in a new light. Hehe. *** Defeating Lei Qianjue, who was at the first level of the Soul Transformation realm, Yang Chen had to use all his trump cards: the Primordial Fire, the 36 Forms of the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving technique, and the power of his physical body. He used everything without holding back. Though he managed to seriously injure Lei Qianjue, it was partly because Lei Qianjue underestimated him. Lei Qianjue probably never dreamed that Yang Chen was a body cultivator. That punchnded squarely on Lei Qianjue¡¯s heart. Although it didn¡¯t directly shatter his body, the blood filled with fragments of his organs indicated that his heart was definitely broken. The importance of the heart to a cultivator¡¯s body cannot be overstated. Without his heart, Lei Qianjue¡¯s strength drastically reduced. Of course, for a Soul Transformation cultivator, the strength of the physical body was only part of their power. This was because Nascent Soul cultivators had already condensed their primordial spirit and could use it to manipte the forces of heaven and earth. However, Yan Jiu was a cultivator of the Soul Cult. Having devoured the Venerable Cangchen and Li Tengshan, and after half a year of arduous cultivation, his strength had reached the half-step Soul Transformation realm. With only the power of his primordial spirit left, Lei Qianjue was at a disadvantage against Yan Jiu. If Lei Qianjue¡¯s physical body had been intact, Yan Jiu might not have been his match. But now, Lei Qianjue definitely couldn¡¯t escape Yan Jiu¡¯s clutches. That¡¯s why Yang Chen didn¡¯t continue pursuing him. After all, Lei Qianjue was the great elder of the Wind and Thunder Sect. Such dirty work was better left to Yan Jiu. A few dayster, in Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce, Yang Chen squatted on the ground, his ear pressed against Zhao Shirou¡¯s swollen belly. ¡°Brother Chen, stop it! It¡¯s only been six months; can you really hear anything?¡± Zhao Shirou teased. But her jade-like hands were exploring Yang Chen¡¯s head. Her charming eyes were full of gentle love. ¡°Other people¡¯s children can¡¯t be heard at six months, but our son is different! How many children have you seen with a golden glow in the womb?¡± Yang Chen said with a smile. His ear pressed against Zhao Shirou¡¯s belly, listening to the movements inside, he was quite surprised. Their son¡¯s extraordinary talent and golden glow in the womb should be due to his fusion with the Dragon Spine. After fusing with the Dragon Spine, his physique had fundamentally improved. He was no weaker than a True Dragon Body.@@novelbin@@ The True Dragon Body was a legendary supreme physique. So, in the end, it¡¯s all about having good seeds. ¡°Brother Chen, what do you think we should name our child?¡± Zhao Shirou asked at this moment. ¡°Name?¡± Yang Chen looked up, a yful glint in his eyes. It was time to name their son again. But ording to his rules, naming the child depended on the elder brother¡¯s name. As Yang Chen was thinking, Zhao Shirou said: ¡°Brother Chen, you always say it¡¯s a boy. How about naming him Yang Wu (Wu as in noon), since noones after morning?¡± ¡°Yang Wu?¡± Yang Chen frowned upon hearing this. Why do women always like to use him as a benchmark for naming their children? Both Lin Xn and Zhao Shirou did the same. Sigh. ¡°Smack!¡± Yang Chen gave Zhao Shirou a solid smack. He lightly scolded: ¡°Don¡¯t be silly! I am the father, the elder, noon and morning are the same! How can a son stand on equal footing with his father?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s reprimand, Zhao Shirou suddenly realized. ¡°You¡¯re right, Brother Chen! It¡¯s my fault for not thinking it through! Then, Brother Chen, do you have a suitable name in mind?¡± Yang Chen thought for a moment and said: ¡°To name our son, we should consider his elder brother¡¯s name! Hao¡¯er¡¯s name has the character ¡®Hao¡¯ in it! It is said that in ancient times, there was an Emperor Haotian who was unrivaled in the world! Hao¡¯er took the character ¡®Hao¡¯, so our son should take the character ¡®Tian¡¯ (heaven)! Let¡¯s name him Yang Tian! It sounds bright and imposing! Rou¡¯er, what do you think?¡± ¡°Yang Tian?¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up. She was clearly very satisfied with this name. Chapter 101 Chapter 101 ¡°Ah!¡± Crack! Crack! Li Hao lifted his foot in satisfaction after Li Junfeng¡¯s face was bloody and the prison floor was covered in bloodstains. ¡°The feeling of trampling someone underfoot is really great! But Li Junfeng, don¡¯t pass out, there¡¯s still a good show toe! Hehe!¡± Saying this, Li Hao walked into the adjacent cell. Inside was one of Li Junfeng¡¯s concubines. ¡°Ah! Li Hao, damn you! I¡¯ll kill you, Li Hao! Bastard!¡± Li Junfeng, lying on the ground, cursed loudly. Even though his teeth were knocked out and his speech was unclear, the sound of his grief and indignation was piercing. At this time, in a dark, unseen corner of the dungeon, Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. ¡°Hao¡¯er, you are indeed a pervert Even more perverted than me! Truly surpassing your teacher! But since you like to y so much, let me give you something more exciting! Hehe!¡± Yang Chen flicked his finger, and a beam of light entered Li Junfeng¡¯s body. Then, Li Junfeng, who was lying on the ground, stood up. The seals on his body were undone, and his weak aura rapidly strengthened. ¡°Li Hao, I¡¯m going to tear you apart!¡± ¡°Li Junfeng, you! How is this possible? Ah! Li Junfeng, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Crack! ¡°Help!¡± A series of miserable cries echoed through the dungeon. However, Li Hao had previously ordered that no one was to enter no matter what sounds were heard. Additionally, the dungeon was excellently soundproofed. Even the fluctuations of spiritual energy could not be sensed outside. Yang Chen did not watch Li Hao¡¯s misery. He silently left the dungeon. Returning to Zhao Shirou¡¯s pce. ¡°Hmm! Husband!¡± Zhao Shirou murmured, turning over. Although she was asleep, her cheeks were flushed, and the charm in her eyes was fully disyed. Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. ¡°Hao¡¯er, you can go in peace! I will take good care of your mother and brother! Hehe!¡± *** The next day, At dawn. The system¡¯s voice echoed in Yang Chen¡¯s mind: [Ding! The host has killed the Protagonist, Li Hao, and has received a gift pack!] Yang Chen was stunned. What the heck, how many hours had passed? He had even slept! Was Hao¡¯er only dying now? Didn¡¯t that mean he suffered all night? Oh my, Hao¡¯er, Hao¡¯er, you wouldn¡¯t me your father, would you? It wasn¡¯t intentional. After all, who could have known that Li Junfeng was so perverse, tormenting you the whole night? But Hao¡¯er, even though you died, it was worthwhile; the gift pack is a good thing. With the system¡¯s reward, I can better protect your mother and brother. Rest in peace in the underworld. Hehe. ¡°Open the gift pack!¡± Yang Chenmanded in a low voice. [Ding! Gift pack opened sessfully! The host has obtained a Nine-Colored Poria!] Hmm? Yang Chen was astonished.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Nine-Colored Poria? It¡¯s actually nine-colored! This is a legendary item! Poria, a spiritual herb that could nurture a cultivator¡¯s soul, was already precious! Ordinary Poria only has one color. However, among Poria, there can asionally be a King Poria. The medicinal effect of a King Poria is a hundred times that of an ordinary Poria. And for every hundred cycles of sixty years that a King Poria grows, it undergoes a lightning tribtion. After the lightning tribtion, if it survives, it gains another color. And Nine-Colored Poria, has grown for at least fifty thousand years and undergone eight lightning tribtions! ording to records in the Xuantian Sect¡¯s history. Tens of thousands of years ago, a sect master who had reached the Tenth stage of the Soul Transformation realm but couldn¡¯t break through to the Void Refinement realm. Later, he identally obtained a Six-Colored Poria. As a result, he smoothly broke through and reached the Void Refinement realm, dominating the Northern Spiritual Realm for thousands of years. Afterward, this sect master even left the Northern Spiritual Realm for the Central Continent! If a Six-Colored Poria had such a miraculous effect, then a Nine-Colored Poria would be even more extraordinary! For a cultivator¡¯s soul, this is a once-in-a-lifetime holy item! Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation progress had been rapid recently, reaching the Eight stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He wasn¡¯t far from the Soul Transformation realm. However, his soul power had not kept up. Breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm required cultivating the Nascent Soul, which was the soul power. Only by condensing the Nascent Spirit andmunicating with heaven and earth could one break through to the Soul Transformation realm. This step had stumped countless cultivators. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, there were many forces with cultivators at the Tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, few managed to break through to the Soul Transformation realm. Most cultivators at the Tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm found it difficult to sessfully condense their Nascent Spirit in their lifetime. They ultimately died of old age. But once they crossed this step, it was like a fish leaping into the sea, a bird soaring into the sky, entering another world. This was also why Li Tengshan spent so much effort, over hundreds of years, nurturing Zhao Shirou as a furnace. To break through from the Nascent Soul to the Soul Transformation realm, one must cross a chasm. And now, with the Nine-Colored Poria. Yang Chen didn¡¯t need to deliberately cultivate his soul power. The Nine-Colored Poria could continuously nourish and enhance his soul. When the time came to break through to the Soul Transformation realm, there would be no barriers for him. Sitting cross-legged, Yang Chen looked at the small flower with nine colors in his hand, covered by a natural seal. It isted the astonishing soul power of the Nine-Colored Poria. Once the seal was removed. Suddenly, an immense soul power enveloped Yang Chen. Nine-colored light burst forth. The light almost felt tangible. Then, the Nine-Colored Poria directly entered Yang Chen¡¯s soul pce in his mind. The soul pce was the most secret and important ce for a cultivator. The Nascent Soul resided there. The Nine-Colored Poria directly took root in Yang Chen¡¯s soul pce, rendering the entire pce in nine colors. The nine leaves of the Nine-Colored Poria began to spread. The red leaf seemed to flow with fire. The blue leaf seemed to form ice. The silver leaf resembled countless sword rays traversing. The ck leaf was like a ck hole, emitting a deep glow. Each color of the Nine-Colored Poria represents a different soul attribute. This is what made it most precious. The nine-colored light filled the soul pce, and Yang Chen felt his soul power growing at a visible rate. Moreover, the nine soul powers with different attributes from the Nine-Colored Poria, born of heaven and earth, refined through numerous lightning tribtions over millennia, were extremely pure. They not only enhanced Yang Chen¡¯s soul power but also continually refined it. This was a qualitative enhancement. In the future, when he broke through to the Soul Transformation realm, the Nascent Spirit he condensed would be extraordinary! ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Beside him, Zhao Shirou¡¯s soft voice made Yang Chen open his eyes. ¡°Brother Chen, such powerful soul power!¡± Zhao Shirou¡¯s body was also radiant. In the pce, the soul power released by the Nine-Colored Poria was absorbed by her as well. Her charming face had an intoxicated look. ¡°Rou¡¯er, I just opened a treasure I got before! It contains arge amount of pure soul power! It can help us both enter the Soul Transformation realm without any barriers!¡± Upon hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Zhao Shirou was stunned. ¡°Enter the Soul Transformation realm without any barriers? What kind of heavenly treasure has such an effect?¡± ¡°Rou¡¯er, hold me tightly!¡± Yang Chen suddenly said. ¡°You¡¯re annoying!¡± Zhao Shirou coquettishly said, then wrapped her jade arms around Yang Chen¡¯s neck. Her delicate body clung to him. ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Shirou eximed. Chapter 102 Chapter 102 She thought Brother Chen wanted that again this morning. Unexpectedly, after hugging him, a pure soul power surged into her body. ¡°Rou¡¯er, don¡¯t be distracted, calm down and refine it!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Zhao Shirou kept her jade arms around Yang Chen¡¯s neck, then calmed her mind and began refining the pure soul power. An hourter. Zhao Shirou opened her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was full of surprise. After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, one begins to cultivate the Nascent Soul, which is the soul power. The pure soul power she refined just now significantly enhanced her soul. This half an hour equaled three to five years of usual hard cultivation. It was amazing. ¡°Brother Chen, you gave me this soul power, won¡¯t you absorb less?¡± Zhao Shirou asked at this moment. Yang Chen gently caressed her charming face. ¡°Do you need to be so polite with me? Don¡¯t say such things in the future! Let me spank you so that you don¡¯t forget!¡± Smack! ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Shirou rubbed the hit spot, pretending to be in pain. But her beautiful eyes were full of emotion. She hugged Yang Chen¡¯s neck even tighter. Her red lips pressed against his ear, her voice full of endless affection: ¡°Brother Chen, you¡¯re so good! Meeting you was the luckiest thing that happened to me in my life!¡± Just then. An urgent voice sounded outside the pce: ¡°Empress Dowager, something bad happened! His Majesty is in trouble!¡± Zhao Shirou immediately let go of Yang Chen. ¡°Hao¡¯er always has so many issues! He really doesn¡¯t let be at ease!¡± Her tone was full of annoyance. Yang Chen secretlyughed. He gently stroked her smooth back. ¡°Alright Rou¡¯er, let¡¯s go see what happened to Hao¡¯er!¡± ¡°Okay, whatever you say, Brother Chen!¡± The two walked out of the pce. Zhao Shirou¡¯s maid hurriedly said: ¡°Empress Dowager, His Majesty was killed!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Zhao Shirou was stunned, her face losing color. In the dungeon. Li Hao¡¯s limbs were scattered on the ground, and from the wounds, it was clear they were torn off alive. His face was bloody, full of ferocity. His eyes were wide open, dying with a grievance. ¡°Hao¡¯er!¡± Seeing Li Hao¡¯s tragic state, Zhao Shirou choked up. Even though Li Hao poisoned her, making her very disappointed in him. But, after all, they had decades of mother-son rtionship. Seeing his miserable appearance, Zhao Shirou was heartbroken. ¡°Who did this? Who dared to do this to Hao¡¯er in the imperial city? Don¡¯t they know he is the stepson of the Holy Son?¡± Yang Chen asked angrily. The Golden Core realm guard responsible for the dungeon quickly knelt. ¡°Holy Son, Holy Son! It, it was the Second Prince, Li Junfeng!¡± ¡°Li Junfeng?¡± ¡°Last night, His Majesty came to the dungeon, told me to leave, and ordered not to enter no matter what sound we hear! I didn¡¯t dare ck off, so I stayed outside the dungeon for a while, but then I heard the sound of orioles chirping*! Last night, His Majesty engaged in rtions with several of Li Junfeng¡¯s concubines and his mother! I was afraid to continue listening, fearing His Majesty would punish me if he knew, so I left the dungeon! Who knew, Li Junfeng was so furious that he broke through the seal and regained his power!¡± [*basically sounds made during sexual intercourse] ¡°So, so this is what happened!¡± ¡°Please spare me, Holy Son and Empress Dowager!¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°What?¡± Yang Chen feigned shock, while Zhao Shirou gritted her teeth, her tone full of disappointment and anger: ¡°Hao¡¯er, you bastard! How could you do something so beastly! Brother Chen, how did I raise such a son?¡± She said, her voice choking with sobs. ¡°Sigh, Rou¡¯er, it¡¯s not your fault!¡± Yang Chen held her in his arms,forting her: ¡°Hao¡¯er was young and impulsive, seeking excitement, which is understandable, but he overstepped his bounds! Sigh, we were too focused on naming Tian¡¯erst night and neglected Hao¡¯er! If we had checked on Hao¡¯erst night, this tragedy wouldn¡¯t have happened!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s face was full of sorrow, his tone self-reproaching. Zhao Shirou¡¯s eyes showed some tenderness as sheforted him: ¡°Brother Chen, don¡¯t me yourself so much! Hao¡¯er ended up like this because of his own actions! Such perverse behavior is outrageous, no wonder Li Junfeng could break through the seal in his fury!¡± ¡°Rou¡¯er!¡± Yang Chen held Zhao Shirou tighter. Looking at Li Hao¡¯s dead, unseeing eyes on the ground. He gently stroked her swollen belly. Softly, he said: ¡°Rou¡¯er, don¡¯t be too sad! Although Hao¡¯er is gone, we still have Tian¡¯er!¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Chen, you¡¯re right, we still have Tian¡¯er!¡± With Li Hao dead. Yang Chen instructed Xu Hui to choose a new monarch from the coteral branches of the Li family. The coteral branch members were also royalty, so their session was legitimate. Moreover, being from a coteral branch with no strong foundation, they would rely heavily on the Xuantian Sect to maintain their position. This way, the Xuantian Sect could better control the Liyang Kingdom. Though the Liyang Kingdom wasn¡¯t strong. It was arge secr state with thousands of miles of territory and billions of people. Every year, some talented individuals were born. These cultivation geniuses were the fresh blood for the Xuantian Sect. After staying in the State Preceptor¡¯s Mansion for another half month. During this time, Yang Chen relied on the Nine-Colored Poria in his soul pce to enhance his soul power to the level of the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Outside the small courtyard, Leng Yuyan and Zhao Shirou were pruning flowers and nts together. These two women got along harmoniously, with no conflicts at all. Since they met, they had called each other sisters. In the evening. Leng Yuyan¡¯s face was flushed. Her forehead covered in fine sweat. Breathing deeply, her delicate fingers traced circles on Yang Chen¡¯s chest. ¡°Yuyan, what¡¯s been wrong with you this half month? You seem a bit unusual!¡± Yang Chen teased, stroking her hair. Leng Yuyan knew what he meant. Her heart was shy, but she still softly said: ¡°I also want a child!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Chenughed. He nced towards Zhao Shirou¡¯s room. It seemed that Rou¡¯er¡¯s pregnancy had inspired her. Tsk tsk. Women, they really know how to act. During the day, they were as close as sisters. Now, they startedpeting. At this moment, a light sword pierced through the void, directly into the room. The sword energy surged, but stopped steadily in front of Yang Chen. ¡°Brother Chen, be careful!¡± Leng Yuyan warned, alert. Her cultivation was at the Second stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She could clearly feel the terrifying sword intent within the small light sword. The sword intent alone seemed capable of cutting through everything. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Rou¡¯er, this is my master¡¯s uniquemunication light sword, she must have something to discuss!¡± ¡°Master?¡± Leng Yuyan¡¯s face reddened. She quickly wrapped herself in a quilt. Brother Chen¡¯s master was naturally her master too. But the master sent amunication light sword while she was with Brother Chen. Oh, so embarrassing. Yang Chen didn¡¯t notice her expression, looking at the light sword with a slight smile. It seemed his master hade out of her seclusion. She had said before that she wouldn¡¯te out unless she broke through. So now, had she reached the Void Refinement realm? In the Northern Spiritual Realm, a Soul Transformation realm cultivator was considered a great power. In recent millennia, no Void Refinement realm cultivator had emerged. If his master broke through to the Void Refinement realm. His status as the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect would be even more valuable. However, he no longer needed to rely on the Holy Son¡¯s status. After all, he already had the power to defeat Soul Transformation realm cultivators! Yang Chen took the light sword and infused it with a burst of true energy. Suddenly, a clear and somewhat angry voice echoed in his mind: ¡°Yang Chen, you ungrateful disciple, how long was I in seclusion, and you already got married and had children, three of them! Get back here right now!¡± Listening to the voice in his mind, Yang Chen could almost picture his master¡¯s furious expression. In the original story, his beautiful master¡¯s identity was not simple at all. Chapter 103 Chapter 103 The beautiful master urged him to return quickly. Yang Chen did not stay any longer in Liyang. With Li Hao¡¯s death, the affairs of Liyang hadpletely concluded, and there was no reason to remain. He took Leng Yuyan and Zhao Shirou, and headed towards Xuantian Sect. As Xu Qingxuan was a maid, she naturally followed along. On the flying spiritual boat, Xu Qingxuan looked at the diminishing capital city below, a trace of reluctance in her expression. Since her birth, she had always stayed in the capital city. Although she longed for Xuantian Sect, this was her first time leaving here. ¡°Qingxuan, are you reluctant?¡± Zhao Shirou, noticing her unusual expression, asked. ¡°Ah, no, no!¡± Xu Qingxuan hurriedly responded. Then, she nced at Zhao Shirou¡¯s swollen belly. Unable to resist, she said: ¡°Empress Dowager, the wind is strong outside, and you are pregnant!¡± During this period, Yang Chen instructed Xu Qingxuan, Li Hao¡¯s fianc¨¦e, to take care of Zhao Shirou. However, upon hearing her address, Zhao Shirou reminded her, ¡°Qingxuan, you can¡¯t call me Empress Dowager after leaving Liyang! Now, I am Brother Chen¡¯s woman, calling me that will make Brother Chen look bad!¡± Xu Qingxuan, being intelligent, nodded immediately: ¡°I understand, Sister Shirou!¡± As she spoke, Xu Qingxuan couldn¡¯t help but touch Zhao Shirou¡¯s belly. Her eyes were filled with envy. When could she, like Sister Shirou, bear the Holy Son¡¯s child? Thebination of the Ice Phoenix bloodline and the Holy Son¡¯s True Dragon physique would surely produce a more powerful bloodline! Sigh. What a pity. The Holy Son only allowed her to be a maid. At Xuantian Sect. On Holy Son Peak, Lin Xn was ying with three children. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the peak. ¡°It¡¯s daddy!¡± Yang Chi recognized Yang Chen and shouted in surprise. Although Yang Chen had not returned for more than half a year, Yang Chi had a deep memory of his father when he left. He often asked him to kill this or that. So, the moment he saw him, the little fellow recognized him. Yang Can had also learned to speak, following his brother with a tender voice: ¡°Daddy!¡± ¡°Zhi¡¯er, Cancan,e, let daddy hold you!¡± Yang Chen squatted down. The two little fellows quickly ran into his arms. They kissed his face messily. Yang Chen felt very gratified. After all, these were his biological children. They were different from adopted children like Yan¡¯er and Hao¡¯er. If Yan¡¯er and Hao¡¯er were willing to call him daddy as affectionately as these two little fellows, he might really ept them as his own good sons. After hugging the two little fellows, Yang Chen stood up and walked to Lin Xn. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back!¡± Qing¡¯er eximed, her beautiful eyes full of joy. She hadn¡¯t seen Yang Chen for a long time and wanted to throw herself into his arms. But she was a sensible girl. She silently took Yang Zhuo from Lin Xn¡¯s arms, then walked to the side, coaxing Yang Chi and Yang Can to y aside. ¡°Husband!¡± Lin Xn, looking at the figure she had missed day and night, couldn¡¯t contain her excitement and threw herself into Yang Chen¡¯s arms, choking with emotion: ¡°Why didn¡¯t youe back for so long? I thought you didn¡¯t want us anymore!¡± ¡°How could that be!?¡± Yang Chen gently stroked her tender back,forting her: ¡°How could I not want you? You¡¯ve given me three children! I¡¯ve been busy dealing with matters in Liyang! As soon as I finished, I came back immediately!¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true, I swear!¡± Yang Chen swore earnestly, even raising three fingers. Lin Xn immediately hit his chest, pouting: ¡°Alright, how could I not believe you? But husband, Xn really missed you! I dreamed every night that you woulde back!¡± Lin Xn, nestled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, whispered. Her voice was full of longing. Her jade arms wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly, as if afraid he would leave again. At night. Lin Xn¡¯s cheeks were flushed, her fair forehead covered with fine sweat. Leaning against Yang Chen¡¯s arms, she said with a hint of grievance: ¡°You bad guy, you were already like this, and now you¡¯ve merged with the Dragon Spine! I really can¡¯t stand you!¡± ¡°Ha ha! Darling, I have no choice, strength doesn¡¯t allow it!¡± Yang Chenughed arrogantly, rubbing her silky hair and patting her. ¡°Annoying!¡± Lin Xn pouted, her charm overflowing. Yang Chen took a deep breath. Yang Chen spent three days with Lin Xn and the children. Yang Chi and Yang Can mored to sleep with daddy every day. Yang Chen was helpless. He could only spare his precious evening time to sleep with the two little fellows for one night. Zhao Shirou and Leng Yuyan also moved into the pce on Holy Son Peak. However, although Lin Xn had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage. In terms of cultivation level, she was far behind the two, one at Second stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the other at Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm. But the two still called her Sister Xn in unison. After all, she was Yang Chen¡¯s legitimate wife, and the mother of his three children. A few dayster. Yang Chen left Holy Son Peak and went to Tongtian Peak where his beautiful master lived. Entering the main hall, a tall, graceful figure stood with her back to him. A ck Daoist robe wrapped around her graceful figure. Her long hair was coiled into a bun, revealing a snow-white neck. She stood there quietly, seemingly blending with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Yang Chen had now reached the Eight stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his soul had been nourished by the Nine-Colored Poria. He could defeat Lei Qianjue who was at the First stage of the Soul Transformation realm. But facing his master¡¯s delicate and slender back, he felt as if he was facing a high mountain. Void Refinement realm cultivators were in a different worldpared to Soul Transformation realm cultivators. Yang Chen stepped forward and bowed: ¡°Disciple greets Master!¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± He was met with a cold snort. ¡°You still remember I am your master?¡± ¡°Of course, disciple remembers! One day a master, lifetime a parent!¡± Yang Chen responded immediately. ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°One day a master, lifetime a parent!¡± The graceful figure turned around. Her red lips curled in disdain. ¡°You ungrateful disciple, how many days have you been back? And now you remember to pay respects to your master! All your thoughts are on your wives and concubines! Have you forgotten who raised you? Is this how you respect your master and show filial piety?¡± Looking at the celestial beauty before him, a trace of amazement shed in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes. His beautiful master. She was truly beautiful. Her features seemed meticulously crafted by heaven, without a single w. Her beautiful eyes were like water, with a hint of coolness. But at this moment, they were full of resentment. ¡°Master, are you jealous?¡± Yang Chen said yfully.@@novelbin@@ Although it was his first face-to-face meeting with this beautiful master. In his memory, the previous him had a very good rtionship with this beautiful master. Because, when he was six years old, he had followed this beautiful master to the Xuantian Sect. Their bond was very deep. They spoke casually, without much of the usual hierarchy between master and disciple. Of course, this did not mean the master was easy to get along with. On the contrary, in the original story, she was a viiness, very difficult to get along with. She was stunningly beautiful but ruthless. Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Otherwise, Chu Yuxiao would not have feared her so much even after reaching the Soul Transformation realm. The reason she treated Yang Chen differently was that she had raised him herself. There was a different kind of affection mixed in. ¡°Bah!¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s eyebrows arched, and she red at Yang Chen. ¡°You rebellious disciple, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I, with my status, be jealous of you?¡± She stepped forward, and a faint fragrance filled Yang Chen¡¯s nose. Yang Chen took a deep sniff. His master never used perfume. So this fragrance must be her natural scent, and it was indeed fragrant. Zhan Lingshuang raised her jade hand, cing it on Yang Chen¡¯s head. Yang Chen did not avoid it, letting her do as she pleased. A gentle true qi entered Yang Chen¡¯s head. From top to bottom, it circted through his whole body. After a moment, Zhan Lingshuang withdrew her jade hand, sighed with relief, and said softly: ¡°Chen¡¯er, do you know why I did that just now?¡± ¡°Master suspected that I had been possessed?¡± Yang Chen said with a smile. Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s suspicion was natural. After all, his cultivation speed was terrifying. The elders of Xuantian Sect would only think that the Holy Son was a genius. But the Sect Master was wise and perceptive. As someone who raised him, she knew his background best. So, she must have had doubts. Yang Chen said: ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry, disciple just had some fortunate encounters, and my strength increased beyond reason! But disciple is definitely still your Chen¡¯er!¡± Hearing this, Zhan Lingshuang rolled her beautiful eyes at him. But her doubts had dissipated. With her Void Refining realm cultivation, she hadn¡¯t found any abnormalities in Chen¡¯er. Moreover, Chen¡¯er¡¯s soul essence was still the same. After all, she had raised Chen¡¯er for decades, from a little boy in split pants to a man. She was most familiar with Chen¡¯er¡¯s aura and would not mistake it. Stroking Yang Chen¡¯s handsome face, Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and relief. * [*can¡¯t help but imagine our 40+ yo MC getting head patted by his master.] ¡°My Chen¡¯er has really grown up now! Already at the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm! And a body cultivator at that! Such cultivation, you can protect your master now!¡± As her jade hand brushed his face, Yang Chen felt a tingling sensation. His body underwent some peculiar reactions. What a sin, what a sin. This was his master, after all. Zhan Lingshuang caressed Yang Chen¡¯s face for a while, then said: ¡°Chen¡¯er, the reason I called you back this time is that I have something for you to do!¡± ¡°Master, what is it?¡± Zhan Lingshuang paused and said: ¡°The city lord of the Ice and Snow City* has exhausted his lifespan and has passed away! The city lord position is vacant, and the major families arepeting for it! The current head of the Feng family, Feng Yuwan, is a friend of mine, and she wants our Xuantian Sect to support the Feng family for the city lord position! She is also willing to marry her daughter to our Xuantian Sect! So, I decided to send you, my only personal disciple, to help her!¡± [*previously mentioned in c79 aka Ice Snow Ancient city/Bingxue Gucheng.] ¡°Ice and Snow City? Feng family?¡± Yang Chen frowned slightly, deep in thought. Ice and Snow City was a top power in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Although not as strong as Xuantian Sect, it was stronger than the Blood de Sect. It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, an Ice Phoenix fell in the Ice and Snow City. Before the Ice Phoenix left, it left behind several bloodline descendants. After tens of thousands of years of development, these bloodline descendants had formed several major families. Namely the Bai family, the Lan family, and the Feng family. The city lord position of Ice and Snow City had always rotated among the three families. However, over time, the blood ties among the three families had gradually faded. In the past few thousand years, thepetition for the city lord position had be increasingly fierce among the three families. ¡°Chen¡¯er, will you go?¡± Hearing his master¡¯s words, Yang Chen hesitated. He had just returned a few days ago. Yang Chi and Yang Can clung to him all the time. To be honest, he hadn¡¯t fulfilled much of his fatherly duties. Besides, Yang Zhuo was almost one year old. The little guy was just learning to speak, and had just learned to call him daddy. Moreover, Zhao Shirou¡¯s child was due in a few months. So, he didn¡¯t want to go out now. Just as he was about to refuse, the system¡¯s voice suddenly rang out:n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om [Ding, detected female protagonist¡¯s fate, Feng Yuwan!] [Friendly reminder: Feng Yuwan is the mother-inw of the Son of Destiny!] Hmm? Yang Chen was stunned. Female protagonist¡¯s fate? Feng Yuwan? Mother-inw of the Son of Destiny? This was surprising. Could it be that this time¡¯s destiny belonged to the son-inw plotline? If so, that would be very interesting. *** Yang Chen did not refuse and agreed to go. After all, he was a major viin. Tormenting the son of destiny was his essential job. Moreover, this time, one of the female leads associated with the son of destiny was his mother-inw. This ¡­ he really had no reason to refuse. After agreeing with his master, Yang Chen did not set off immediately but stayed on Holy Son Peak for a while. During the day, he yed with Yang Chi, Yang Can, and Yang Zhuo, strengthening the bond between father and children. At night, he spent time with the adults. However, happy times were always short-lived. Half a monthter, under their resentful gazes, Yang Chen left Xuantian Sect. On the flying spiritual boat, Yang Cheny on a jade chair. Behind him, Xu Qingxuan was massaging him, asionally peeling a grape and feeding it to him. Although she was doing the work of a maid, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful face was full of pride. Being the Holy Son¡¯s maid meant she could follow him and serve him closely, and she could also absorb some of the Holy Son¡¯s Dragon qi to enhance her cultivation. Furthermore, all thedies had been left in Xuantian Sect. Only she was allowed to follow him. Hehe, the opportunities were endless. ¡°Holy Son, is Qingxuan¡¯s strength eptable?¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s voice was charming and sweet, her red lips close to Yang Chen¡¯s ear, exhaling a fragrance like orchids. But Yang Chen just replied with a hum, still keeping his eyes closed. These past few days had been exhausting, and now he just wanted to rest. Ten dayster, the flying spiritual boat arrived at the Falling Snow Mountain Range, more than a hundred thousand miles north of Xuantian Sect. The Falling Snow Mountain Range could be considered the northernmost end of the Northern Spiritual realm. The entire mountain range stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with countless peaks. However, almost every peak was covered in snow at the top. The ancient Ice and Snow City was located on the snow ins between several snow-capped mountains. The Falling Snow Mountain Range was named because it snowed for half the year. Due to the cold climate, there were few mortals in this area. However, the cold also caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to carry a yin attribute, making it very suitable for cultivators with ice attribute spiritual roots to cultivate. Moreover, the Falling Snow Mountain Range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, contained many ice attribute natural treasures. Thus, the Ice and Snow City, located in the Falling Snow Mountain Range, became a sacred ce for ice attribute cultivators in the Northern Spiritual Domain to train and cultivate. Chapter 105 Chapter 105 The flying spiritual boat descended over the ancient Ice and Snow City, with the Xuantian Sect¡¯s banner flying in the wind. Soon, several cultivators stepped into the air and approached. Seeing Yang Chen standing on the deck, a middle-aged female cultivator hurriedly cupped her hands and said, ¡°Inner Sect Elder Song Hui greets the Holy Son!¡± As she spoke, Song Hui addressed the surrounding cultivators, ¡°Fellow Daoists, this is the Holy Son of our Xuantian Sect! The Sect Master sending the Holy Son shows the importance ced on the Feng Family!¡± ¡°So this is the Holy Son!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°We greet the Holy Son!¡± The cultivators all saluted, their faces excited. After all, their Feng Family urgently needed the support of Xuantian Sect in thepetition for the city lord position. The Holy Son¡¯s personal visit,pared to the arrival of an inner sect elder, held a vastly different significance. The arrival of a sect¡¯s Holy Son strongly indicated the Sect Master¡¯s attitude towards the Feng Family. ¡°Greetings, seniors!¡± Yang Chen stood on the deck of the flying spiritual boat, smiling warmly and courteously. The breeze blew, giving him an ethereal quality. The elders of the Feng Family had a glimmer of admiration in their eyes. This Holy Son of Xuantian Sect was indeed extraordinary, just as the rumors said. ¡°Holy Son, your arrival at the ancient Ice and Snow City is a great honor for our Feng Family! Please, our family head has been waiting for a long time!¡± ¡°Alright, please lead the way!¡± Yang Chen disembarked from the flying spiritual boat. Xu Qingxuan and a group of Xuantian Sect cultivators followed behind. This time, the mission was to support the Feng Family patriarch in bing the city lord of the ancient Ice and Snow City. It was not only because Feng Famil¡¯s head, Feng Yuwan, was a close friend of the Sect Master but also because it directly rted to the interests of Xuantian Sect. Therefore, Xuantian Sect had sent more than ten elders to apany Yang Chen. In the Feng Family¡¯s grand hall, a woman dressed in a moon-white pce robe, slightly plump with a dignified demeanor, saw Yang Chen approaching. Her beautiful face first showed surprise, then blossomed into a smile that could overshadow all flowers. ¡°This must be the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect! The Holy Son is indeed the leader of the younger generation in the Northern Spiritual Realm! Remarkable indeed!¡± The woman in the ptial robe was Feng Yuwan, the patriarch of the Feng Family. Having cultivated for a thousand years, her cultivation had reached the Soul Transformation realm. But seeing Yang Chen, she couldn¡¯t help but genuinely praise him. Yang Chen did not deliberately conceal his cultivation. With her Soul Transformation realm cultivation, Feng Yuwan could sense that Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation had reached the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Such cultivation had left his peers far behind. After all, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of major top powers were mostly still at the Golden Core realm. Those who had reached thete Golden Core realm were already outstanding among them. ¡°Junior Yang Chen greets Senior Feng!¡± Yang Chen bowed slightly, his attitude respectful and modest. He did not disy any arrogance despite being the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect and Feng Family needing Xuantian Sect¡¯s support. He spoke many ttering words. Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes showed even more admiration. Handsome appearance, gentle and elegant demeanor. Zhan Lingshuang, that domineering woman, had actually trained such an excellent disciple. Rare indeed. In the Feng Family¡¯s grand hall, there were many people present, all elders and core disciples of the Feng Family. At this moment, an elder of the Feng Family stepped forward and bowed, saying, ¡°Patriarch, the banquet is ready. Why not invite the Holy Son and the Xuantian Sect fellows to the feast and chat over food?¡± ¡°Yes, good idea!¡± Feng Yuwan nodded slightly, then said to Yang Chen, ¡°Holy Son, the delicacies of our Ice and Snow City are quite unique. How about we sit down and taste them?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Yang Chen agreed. Behind the grand hall, each jade table wasid with dozens of dishes. Some dishes even emitted a faint glow. As a family with Soul Transformation realm cultivator(s), the Feng Family naturally would not serve mundane food as so-called delicacies. The main ingredients of the food on the jade tables were all rare herbs and beasts from the Falling Snow Mountain Range. Yang Chen looked at a soup as white as jade. An elder of the Feng Family immediately introduced, ¡°Holy Son, this soup is called Snow Jade Soup, made from thousand-year cold jade marrow from the Falling Snow Mountain Range! Thismb leg is from the hind leg of a Golden Core realm mountain snow sheep, its meat is extremely tender! This stir-fried mushroom dish is made from thousand-year snow mushrooms from the Falling Snow Mountain Range!¡± Yang Chen nodded. It was clear that the Feng Family valued their arrival very much. Each of these ingredients was top-notch, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it hard to eat them regrly ¡­ The banquet went smoothly. At this moment, a tall woman in a white snow robe approached. ¡°Mother!¡± The tall woman¡¯s voice was elegant, like an orchid in an empty valley. Upon hearing this, Feng Yuwan introduced to Yang Chen, ¡°Holy Son, this is my adopted daughter. Although not my biological child, I have always treated her as my own! Qian Ning has often told me she admires you greatly, and now she finally has the chance to meet you in person! Holy Son, would you let Qian Ning keep youpany while I greet some elders?¡± Yang Chen nodded. Beforeing, he had thoroughly understood the specific situations of the major families in ancient Ice and Snow City, especially the Feng Family. Feng Family¡¯s head, Feng Yuwan, had entered the Soul Transformation realm five hundred years ago. She had cultivated for a thousand years but remained single, with no partner or children. However, she had adopted a daughter who had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. With extraordinary talent, she would surely reach the Soul Transformation stage in the future if she did not meet an untimely end. Yang Chen nced at Feng Qian Ning. He sensed the Ice Phoenix bloodline in her. The Feng Family had almost all core members attending the banquet to wee him. However, Yang Chen scanned the room and sensed few who had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. It showed how rare it was for someone to awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline. ¡°Holy Son, Qian Ning has always admired you. May I offer you a toast?¡± Feng Qian Ning said, raising her cup. Yang Chen could see the unnatural look in her eyes. It was obvious that this was a deliberate arrangement by Feng Yuwan or the Feng Family. His master daughter, Feng Yuwan had a more mature charm. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, you are too polite!¡± Yang Chen raised his cup and lightly clinked it against hers. His attitude was gentle and respectful, and his gaze merely swept over her previously tense face easing considerably. [Ding! Detected new Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu!] [Characteristics: Possesses True Dragon bloodline, hails from Central Continent outside Northern Spiritual Realm, a direct descendant of the Red Dragon Family of Central Continent. Twenty years ago, due to a family strife, he came to Northern Spiritual Realm and was favored by the Supreme Elder of the Feng Family. Currently, he is the son-inw of the Feng Family and Feng Qian Ning¡¯s nominal husband!] [Note: Long Tianyu has a simr disposition to the host!] [Current Providence Luck value: 30,000 points!] [Ding! The host¡¯s high-profile arrival at the Feng Family, receiving the highest level of hospitality, drinking and chatting with Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning, caused Long Tianyu to feel jealous and had damaged his state of mind. You have plundered 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Listening to the system¡¯s voice in his mind, Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. Long Tianyu? What a domineering name*. However, this guy¡¯s state of mind seemed too fragile. Just having a conversation and sharing a drink with his mother-inw and wife was enough to make him jealous? [*¡±ÁúÌìÓ (L¨®ng Ti¨¡ny¨³): Heavenly Dragon] Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Yang Chen scanned the grand hall. He soon noticed a pair of eyes filled with resentment and anger, staring intensely at him. At the entrance of the hall stood a young man in ck clothes. His appearance was not handsome, but his features were sharp and defined. This must be Long Tianyu, the protagonist! Noticing Yang Chen¡¯s gaze, Long Tianyu did not show any signs of weakness or avoidance. His eyes even revealed a trace of warning and killing intent. Yang Chen was slightly taken aback.@@novelbin@@ This guy really is the protagonist. Even without any cultivation, he dares to warn me. Heh. However, the True Dragon Body! From the Red Dragon n of the Central Continent in the Northern Spiritual Realm! This fits the temte of the ¡°son-inw¡± genre quite well! No cultivation, seemingly a useless waste! But in reality, he is exceptionally gifted and has a remarkable background! Now that he, the antagonist, made an appearance, Long Tianyu would soon reveal his true identity! ording to traditional plots, Long Tianyu would reveal his true identity, strike against the antagonist, resolve the crisis for the heroine and her family, and then win the heroine¡¯s heart! But this son-inw is different from the previous ones. In novels, those son-inws have no connection with the mother-inw! But now, Feng Yuwan is a voluptuous and charming beauty! In terms of beauty, she even surpasses her daughter, Feng Qian Ning, a little! I wonder if this is prepared for me, the great antagonist! Heh heh! Yang Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a yful expression. Being the antagonist was quite enjoyable. Drinking with the male protagonist¡¯s wife. Being ttered by the male protagonist¡¯s mother-inw and wife. Meanwhile, the protagonist could only watch in frustration. At this moment, Feng Qian Ning beside him spoke, ¡°Holy Son, I heard that you recently acquired the Green Lotus Heavenly me, ranked 62* on the Primordial Fire list?¡± [Note: *previously the author mentioned that the Green Lotus Heavenly me as ranked 58thon the list, and the Earth Core Red Fire the one Empress Yan wanted to offer to Lin Yan to be 62nd on the list.] Yang Chen nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! I didn¡¯t expect Miss Qian Ning to have heard about it too! Heh, it was indeed a stroke of luck. Is Miss Qian Ning also interested in the Primordial Fires?¡± Feng Qian Ning lightly nodded. ¡°The Primordial Fires are indeed rare treasures!¡± ¡°There are a total of 108 types of Primordial Fires in the world. However, in our Northern Spiritual Realm, over the past few thousand years, only the Green Lotus Heavenly me obtained by the Holy Son has appeared!¡± ¡°If Miss Qian Ning is interested, I will show it to you!¡± Yang Chen said as he extended his hand, spreading his fingers. A green lotus flower bloomed. A faint green light swirled around the green lotus, shimmering with brilliance. As Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation level increased, the illusion of the green lotus also deepened. At this moment, the illusion was almost substantial, resembling a green lotus carved from jade. ¡°It¡¯s such a beautiful lotus! This is the Green Lotus Heavenly me? Why can¡¯t I feel much heat?¡± Feng Qian Ning asked with confusion. ¡°The Primordial Fires are indeed fiery, but I have concealed the heat! Miss Qian Ning is a cultivator of the ice attribute, and the heat from the Primordial Fires might have some adverse effects on you!¡± ¡°I see! Thank you, Holy Son!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s face showed a hint of a smile. She felt that although this Holy Son had a noble status, he was quite amiable and considerate of others. So, she couldn¡¯t help but nce at Yang Chen¡¯s handsome face a few more times. However, when her gaze met Yang Chen¡¯s eyes. Instantly, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes darted away. A blush appeared on her fair face. Heh, getting embarrassed already?Yang Chen¡¯s eyes were full of amusement. It seemed that his considerate (and hypocritical) performance had not been in vain. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, you should have awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, right?¡± Yang Chen put away the green lotus and asked. ¡°Yes, I have!¡± Feng Qian Ning nodded. Although her family had not publicly acknowledged her awakening of the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, many people were already aware of it. There was no need to hide it in front of the Holy Son. ¡°Once the Ice Phoenix Bloodline is awakened, it is almost certain that you will step into the Soul Transformation realm in the future! I¡¯d like to congratte Miss Qian Ning in advance!¡± Yang Chen smiled. Upon hearing Yang Chen¡¯s praise, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s heart suddenly became a bit flustered. She naturally knew the purpose of her mother sending her here. With the old city lord passing away, the three major families were all vying for the position of city lord. Among the three families, the Bai and Lan families had formed several marriage alliances over the past few hundred years, showing a trend of such alliances. Moreover, the Lan family was the strongest among the three major families. The previous city lord was also from the Lan family, leaving behind a rich foundation. Topete with the Lan family, the Feng family had to rely on the support of the Xuantian Sect, a colossal force. Fortunately, her mother was an old friend of the Xuantian Sect¡¯s leader. This time, the Xuantian Sect stood by the Feng family¡¯s side and even sent the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect to support them. However, as her mother and several elders had said, the Feng family had to show the corresponding sincerity. That meant a marriage alliance. Although there were many beautiful female cultivators in the Feng family, among the younger generation, only she had awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline. This time, she was sent here to facilitate a match between her and the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect. Initially, she had shown some resistance in her heart because she was quite averse to such a marriage alliance. Moreover, she was now considered a married woman. Although Tianyu couldn¡¯t cultivate, they had held a wedding ceremony and were formally husband and wife. But now, looking at the polite and extremely handsome Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect, she suddenly found that her resistance had diminished a lot, even to the point of almost disappearing. Feng Qian Ning couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of guilt in her heart. At this moment, Long Tianyu, who had been ring at Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning, gradually darkened his expression. His fists were clenched, and veins were faintly visible on his forehead. He saw that his wife, Feng Qian Ning, not only was chatting happily with that so-called Holy Son of Xuantian Sect but also had a hint of shyness on her face. As a man, Long Tianyu understood what that meant. When a woman her shy demeanor to a man, it indicated she had developed feelings for him. ¡°Damn it!¡± Long Tianyu gritted his teeth. After being married for more than ten years, Qian Ning had never shown him such an expression to him. Yet, after spending less than half an hour with that so-called Holy Son, she began to blush! Unable to contain his anger any longer, Long Tianyu directly walked towards Feng Qian Ning. ¡°Qian Ning!¡± Feng Qian Ning, who had been chatting with Yang Chen, was suddenly startled and turned her head to look behind her. ¡°Tianyu! What ¡­ What are you doing here?¡± Chapter 107 Chapter 107 A hint of panic shed in Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes. This panic only made Long Tianyu more enraged. He felt as if a green hat* had been ced on his head. [*term for being cuckolded] ¡°Qian Ning,e back with me!¡± Long Tianyu said in a deep voice and reached out to grab Feng Qian Ning¡¯s delicate hand. However, Feng Qian Ning directly avoided him. It was not intentional but a reflex. Although they had been married for more than ten years, she had never had any physical contact with Long Tianyu, nor had they held hands. ¡°Damn it!¡± Long Tianyu secretly cursed. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to hold Qian Ning¡¯s hand and assert his dominance, but he failed. ¡°I¡¯m your husband, Qian Ning! Why can¡¯t I even hold your hand?¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Tianyu, you should leave now! I will exin everything to you tomorrow!¡± Noting that the Feng family¡¯s elders and disciples were looking over, Feng Qian Ning urged Long Tianyu to leave quickly. Otherwise, the family elders and disciples would make trouble for him again. Moreover, today was an important asion to receive the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. It was crucial not to make any mistakes. If the Holy Son was displeased because of Tianyu, the elders who were already dissatisfied with him would surely not let him off easily. However, how could Long Tianyu leave? He instinctively felt that this damned Holy Son of Xuantian was definitely not a good person. Feng Qian Ning had awakened the Ice Phoenix Bloodline and was the top beauty of the Ice and Snow City. This damned Holy Son must be drooling over her. Even though he and Qian Ning had only a formal marriage rtionship, he had long considered her his woman. She must not be touched by anyone else! She was his exclusive possession! Smiles should be directed only at him! Shyness and blushes should be reserved solely for him! *** ¡°Qian Ning, you muste back with me today!¡± Long Tianyu said in a deep voice. His gaze was fixed on Feng Qian Ning, and his tone was very firm. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, who is this?¡± Yang Chen asked, pretending not to know. ¡°He, he is ¡­¡± Faced with Yang Chen¡¯s inquiry, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes showed some nervousness and panic. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know what to say. Long Tianyu spoke directly: ¡°I am Qian Ning¡¯s husband, Long Tianyu.¡± ¡°Husband of Qian Ning?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes showed surprise. ¡°So Miss Qian Ning is already married!¡± ¡°s!¡± he sighed, full of regret. Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes shed with pride, while a trace of helplessness appeared in Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes. However, she did not stop Long Tianyu from revealing this fact. After all, everyone in Ice and Snow City knew that the husband of the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Qian Ning, was an ordinary person who could not cultivate. Hiding it had no meaning. ¡°Your Highness, my marriage with Tianyu was something my grandfather forced upon us on his deathbed. To not leave him with any regrets, we held a wedding ceremony. But although we have been married for over ten years, we are only friends.¡± Hearing the regret in Yang Chen¡¯s tone, Feng Qian Ning suddenly felt a bit flustered. She hurriedly exined. However, this exnation made Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes turnpletely dark. How infuriating! What do you mean by just friends? I am your husband, Qian Ning! Why are you exining like this? Are you trying to please that bastard, worried he might misunderstand? ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen suddenly understood. [Ding, the female lead Feng Qian Ning has described their rtionship as just friends. Long Tianyu¡¯s state of mind is damaged, 500 points of Providence Luck has been plundered from Long Tianyu. The host has gained 500 VPs!] Hmm? His state of mind was damaged just like that? As expected of a live-in son-inw. He really has a fragile heart. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes nced yfully at Long Tianyu, making him even more furious. At this moment, a young man in a brocade robe hurried over. ¡°Long Tianyu, are you looking for death? Today is the important banquet where our Feng family is hosting His Highness the Holy Son. How dare you, a useless man,e here? Get out now!¡± The young man in the brocade robe finished speaking, then looked fawningly at Yang Chen. ¡°Your Highness, I am Feng Yunhai, Qian Ning¡¯s cousin!¡± ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s Brother Yunhai! I¡¯ve heard a lot about you!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s address of ¡®Brother Yunhai¡¯ instantly made Feng Yunhai was exhrated. The Holy Son of Xuantian was actually willing to call him brother. This news, once spread, could be boasted throughout the entire Ice and Snow City. It could even be boasted throughout the entire Northern Spiritual Realm. Feng Yunhai hurriedly said: ¡°Your Highness, this Long Tianyu is just a useless member of our Feng family who cannot cultivate. He likes to wander around aimlessly and has disturbed your elegance. I am truly sorry! I will make him disappear from here immediately!¡± Saying this, Feng Yunhai turned around and red warningly at Long Tianyu. However, Long Tianyu was unmoved, still standing where he was. As the destined male lead, he didn¡¯t put Feng Yunhai in his eyes at all. ¡°Damn it! You¡¯re really seeking death!¡± Feng Yunhai was furious. As a core disciple of the Feng family, he knew well that the family was preparing to pair Qian Ning with the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect. If Qian Ning was favored by the Holy Son, even if only as a concubine, their Feng family would have a better chance in thepetition for the city lord position. The elders had entrusted this matter to him, and he couldn¡¯t allow any mistakes. A trace of killing intent shed in Feng Yunhai¡¯s eyes, and he directly reached out to grab Long Tianyu¡¯s neck to throw him out. However, as he reached out, ayer of crimson light suddenly appeared on Long Tianyu¡¯s body. Roar! A low dragon roar echoed, and a crimson dragon¡¯s shadow directly emerged from Long Tianyu¡¯s body. Bang! Feng Yunhai¡¯s grasp not only failed to catch Long Tianyu but was also pushed back. He spat out blood and was thrown back once the crimson dragon shadow made an appearance. ¡°How is this possible!? You are just a useless person, how could you!?¡± Feng Yunhai was in disbelief. As a Golden Core cultivator, he was actually beaten back by a useless person who couldn¡¯t cultivate. In the hall, everyone noticed themotion here and looked over. The elders and disciples of the Feng family were all shocked. They didn¡¯t expect that a useless person like Long Tianyu could actually repel Feng Yunhai. ¡°Hmph!¡± Long Tianyu snorted coldly, a trace of disdain appearing on his face. Over the years, he couldn¡¯t cultivate not because he was truly useless. He possessed the true dragon bloodline. Not to mention in the remote Northern Spiritual Realm, even in the Central Continent, he was a top genius. Chapter 108 Chapter 108 A Twenty years ago, an internal strife urred in the Red Dragon n. As a direct bloodline descendant, he came to this remote Northern Spiritual Realm. Before leaving the Red Dragon n, his father sealed the red dragon bloodline in his body with the family treasure, the Dragon Blood Jade, for twenty years.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The Dragon Blood Jade would unseal itself after twenty years. During this period, the Dragon Blood Jade would continuously nourish the red dragon bloodline in his body until it turned into true dragon blood. The true dragon was the highest existence between heaven and earth, only existing in legends. Even possessing the true dragon bloodline made one the top genius in the world, unrivaled among the same generation. Now, the twenty-year limit had passed. The true dragon bloodline in his body begun to revive. The Dragon Blood Jade would actively protect its owner. Feng Yunhai, a mere Golden Core cultivator, dared to attack him. Just now, the Dragon Blood Jade automatically protected its master, injuring him. If he had activated the Dragon Blood Jade, Feng Yunhai would have be a corpse. Long Tianyu looked at Feng Qian Ning. He saw shock in her eyes. He was very satisfied with this expression. Qian Ning, in the future, you will know how excellent and powerful your husband is! Marrying me is the luckiest thing in your life! At this moment, Feng Yuwan noticed themotion here and hurried over. Looking at Long Tianyu, her beautiful eyes turned cold. This useless person was really troublesome. As Long Tianyu¡¯s mother-inw, Feng Yuwan naturally looked down on him. She strongly opposed Feng Qian Ning¡¯s marriage to Long Tianyu, but she was only Feng Qian Ning¡¯s adoptive mother. Faced with Feng Qian Ning¡¯s grandfather¡¯sst wish, she couldn¡¯t refuse. Thus, Long Tianyu became a son-inw of the Feng family. But over the years, Long Tianyu had never been able to cultivate. The entire Ice and Snow City mocked the Feng family for marrying a useless son-inw, wasting Feng Qian Ning¡¯s Ice Phoenix bloodline. So today, she deliberately left Qian Ning alone with Yang Chen, the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, hoping Qian Ning could gain his favor. With Qian Ning¡¯s talent, only a genius like the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect was worthy of her. But she didn¡¯t expect the carefully nned opportunity to be ruined by this useless son-inw. Really bad luck. ¡°Long Tianyu, I give you ten seconds to leave here!¡± Feng Yuwan said coldly. Looking at his graceful and charming mother-inw showing that cold and aloof attitude again, a trace of concealed excitement shed in Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes. He was willing to be a son-inw in the Feng family, being insulted as useless by so many people, not only because of Qian Ning but also because of his noble and cold mother-inw. He liked her cold attitude. Every time he felt this cold attitude, he was extremely excited! Because one day, he would ¡­ ¡°Mother-inw, I am Qian Ning¡¯s husband, why can¡¯t I stay here?¡± Long Tianyu just started to speak when Feng Yuwan shouted coldly: ¡°Insolent!¡± Her beautiful eyes were full of anger. This useless person dared to question her. The pressure of a Soul Transformation cultivator directly covered Long Tianyu. But, the crimson dragon¡¯s shadow appeared again on Long Tianyu¡¯s body. This time, the shadow was more solid. The dragon roar echoed in the hall, helping Long Tianyu resist the pressure of the Soul Transformation realm. ¡°What? Long Tianyu actually resisted the head¡¯s pressure!¡± ¡°How is this possible, the head is a Soul Transformation cultivator!¡± ¡°This guy is supposed to be a useless son-inw, how did he be so powerful?¡± Many people in the Feng family were shocked. Long Tianyu looked proud. The twenty-year limit had passed. The true dragon bloodline in his body had not only turned into true dragon blood but alsopletely unsealed. From now on, he would reim all the glory that belonged to him. Qian Ning was his! And this cold and aloof mother-inw was also his! ¡°Mother-inw, Soul Transformation cultivators might be at the top in the Northern Spiritual Realm, but they are nothing in the Central Continent! Even the Xuantian Sect is just an ordinary force in the Central Continent, far from being top-tier! Why do you force Qian Ning to do something she doesn¡¯t want to do for the Xuantian Sect?¡± Long Tianyu said confidently. ¡°Insolent!¡± This statement caused a cold shout to echo in the hall. Yang Chen had brought a group of elders with him. These elders, hundreds or thousands of years old, valued the reputation of the Xuantian Sect more than their lives. ¡°A mere son-inw dares to insult our Xuantian Sect!¡± ¡°Feng Family Head, is this how your Feng family treats guests?¡± An old man at the Tenth stage of Nascent Soul cultivation shouted angrily. Feng Yuwan¡¯s face stiffened. Looking at Long Tianyu with beautiful eyes full of anger. Her Feng family desperately needed the support of the Xuantian Sect. They were having a pleasant conversation just now, but this guy¡¯s words angered an elder of the Xuantian Sect at the tenth level of Nascent Soul cultivation. ¡°Elder Wei, calm down!¡± Feng Yuwan hurriedly said. Elder Wei nced at Yang Chen and noticed the Holy Son did not stop him, realizing this was also the Holy Son¡¯s intention. So he said solemnly: ¡°Feng Family Head, our Xuantian Sect is not to be insulted by any random person! If it were anyone else, they would already be a corpse!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s heart sank. Looking at Long Tianyu, she also wanted to kill him. But this guy was, after all, a son-inw of the Feng family. If he was killed directly, the Feng family would never be able to hold its head up in front of the Xuantian Sect. While needing to curry favor with the Xuantian Sect, as the Feng Family Head, she also wanted to maintain the Feng family¡¯s independence. So she said solemnly: ¡°Long Tianyu, you insulted the Xuantian Sect, an unforgivable sin! Kneel down and apologize to the friends of the Xuantian Sect, and you may be spared death today!¡± But at this moment, a cold voice rang out: ¡°Make my young master kneel, is the Xuantian Sect worthy?¡± As the voice fell, a figure in a crimson robe appeared in the hall. A strong aura emanated from him, stronger than Elder Wei. Then, he directly bowed to Long Tianyu. ¡°Greetings, young master!¡± This scene shocked everyone in the hall. A Nascent Soul cultivator at the Tenth stage was actually bowing to Long Tianyu! Wasn¡¯t he just a son-inw? Feeling the shocked gazes around him, Long Tianyu was very proud. He originally wanted to hide his identity for a while longer. But now, with this so-called Holy Son of Xuantian here, he decided not to hide anymore. He raised his hand slightly. ¡°Old Zhang, no need to be so polite!¡± The old man in the crimson robe stood up and then coldly said: ¡°The Northern Spiritual Realm is just a remote area of the Kunlun Realm, so what if we insult you? Your Xuantian Sect is not qualified to make our young master kneel!¡± Chapter 109 Chapter 109 ¡°Insolent!¡± Elder Wei¡¯s aura exploded, and a powerful aura spread throughout the hall. Yang Chen watched this scene, his mouth gradually curling into a smile. This should¡¯ve been the original plotline: The viin pursued Feng Qian Ning, and the son-inw Long Tianyu would get jealous, and start to show his extraordinary abilities. A protector at the half-step Soul Transformation realm would appear to p the viin in the face. The female lead would be surprised and gradually develop a good impression. However, this plot was destined to change now because this viin was neither brainless nor could a half-step Soul Transformation realm cultivator act arrogantly in front of him! ¡°Such arrogance!¡± Yang Chen stepped forward and coldly said: ¡°Since you are so strong, why not let me, the Holy Son of Xuantian sect, test your skills?¡± ¡°You, a junior? A mere Holy Son of Xuantian Sect may dominate in the Northern Spiritual Realm, but is nothing outside it!¡± The old man in the crimson robe spoke disdainfully, but before he finished speaking, a demonic mountain descended from the sky, directly suppressing him underneath. The mountain, although just a shadow, released infinite demonic power, seemingly capable of suppressing the heavens, making hearts tremble. ¡°Bold!¡± The old man in the crimson robe shouted, about to struggle free. However, the mountain contained infinite suppressive power, and he couldn¡¯t break free despite all his efforts. ¡°What kind of technique is this?¡± The old man in the crimson robe panicked. He had never seen such a powerful suppressive technique in a thousand years of roaming the Central Continent. At this moment, a green lotus bloomed, directly enveloping him. The green mes surged out, instantly turning the area where the old man stood into a sea of fire. The intense heat swept through the hall, melting the floor, pirs, and even the ceiling into nothingness. Even the spiritual energy in the air was burning. If not for Feng Yuwan quickly releasing a protective barrier to shield the Feng family disciples, the terrifying heat would have melted them. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s a Primordial Fire!¡± A tragic voice came from the mountain and the green lotus. True qi fluctuated violently, but it couldn¡¯t break free from the suppression of the mountain and could only endure the fire¡¯s burn. ¡°Ah! Bastard! Ah! Spare me, spare, spare me! Spare me ¡­¡± The tragic voice echoed through the hall, seemingly filled with endless pain and fear. But only a momentter, the voice gradually faded. Then, the mountain shadow and the fiery green lotus gradually faded and disappeared in front of everyone. On the ground, only ayer of ck ash remained. A peak Nascent Soul cultivator at the Tenth stage was burned to ashes just like that! *** Staring at theyer of ck ash on the ground, everyone in the hall was stunned. The elders of the Xuantian Sect were somewhat prepared, having known about Yang Chen defeating the Blood de Sect¡¯s grand elder. However, the elders and disciples of the Feng family were filled with fear. Whether it was a Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivator or a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator, these were top figures in the Feng family and even in the Ice and Snow City. Except for the heads of the three major families, a Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivator was the highest level of cultivation among them. But now, such a person had been burned to ashes without even being able to resist. The Holy Son, who had just been smiling gently and behaving like a gentleman, was this terrifying. Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of shock. A half-step Soul Transformation cultivator was just one step away from the Soul Transformation stage. Although it was a difficult step to cross, such a cultivator was not easily killed, even by her. Yet, in the hands of this Holy Son, the half-step Soul Transformation cultivator had no power to resist. Zhan Lingshuang, what kind of monster have you raised? An Eighth stage Nascent Soul cultivator already possesses powerparable to a Soul Transformation cultivator! This is defying the heavens! At this moment, Long Tianyu was the only one with red eyes. ¡°Old Zhang!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s voice was hoarse, full of grief. The one who had been guarding him, Old Zhang, a dignified half-step Soul Transformation cultivator, had just been killed. Long Tianyu looked at Yang Chen with eyes full of hatred. Damn it! Old Zhang risked his life to bring me to the Northern Spiritual Realm and protected me silently for twenty years. Though we were master and servant, our bond was like that of father and son. And now, he was killed just like that? Long Tianyu clenched his fists tightly, staring at Yang Chen. He silently vowed, ¡°Old Zhang, rest assured, once Iplete my cultivation, I will ughter the entire Xuantian Sect to avenge you!¡± [Ding, the host has in Long Tianyu¡¯s protector, Old Zhang. Long Tianyu is severely impacted, losing 2000 points of Providence Luck. The host has gained 2000 VPs.] Hearing the system notification, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly. Not bad, another 2000 VPs. However, today¡¯s show must not end so simply. If he could take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to this Son of Destiny, he wouldn¡¯t let it pass easily. Yang Chen nced at Feng Yunhai beside him. Although there was no expression in his eyes, this nce was a test for Feng Yunhai. This guy looked like a viin. If he was smart enough, Yang Chen wouldn¡¯t mind taking him as ackey. Feng Yunhai noticed Yang Chen¡¯s nce and immediately understood. He turned and coldly shouted at Long Tianyu, ¡°Long Tianyu, you insulted the Xuantian Sect, an unforgivable sin! The head just said, kneel and apologize to be spared death! Why aren¡¯t you kneeling and apologizing?¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction. This guy was apetentckey who could be nurtured. With Feng Yunhai¡¯s words, the veins on Long Tianyu¡¯s forehead bulged. Killing Old Zhang and now demanding he kneel and apologize! This was too much! Long Tianyu¡¯s expression turned ferocious. As a direct descendant of the Red Dragon n, possessing true dragon blood, he would dominate the Central Continent and be a supreme being. Now, they wanted to force him to kneel and bow? Ridiculous! ¡°Long Tianyu, you worthless scum, what are you waiting for? Kneeling to the Holy Son is an honor!¡± Feng Yunhai continued to shout. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes turned ferocious, and he activated the Dragon Blood Jade. A crimson dragon¡¯s shadow appeared and charged at Feng Yunhai. ¡°Ugh!¡± Although Feng Yunhai was a Golden Core cultivator, his role was that of a minor viin meant to be beaten. How could he withstand Long Tianyu¡¯s attack? He spat blood and retreated once more.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Insolent!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s cold voice rang out. A golden dragon¡¯s shadow appeared around him. Roar! The dragon¡¯s roar echoed, filled with immense pressure. Both dragons and phoenixes were the rulers of the demon race, who valued bloodline above all else. Yang Chen possessed the spine of a primordial dragon, and the dragon¡¯s might he released was not inferior to a true dragon. The dragon¡¯s might swept through the entire hall. The members of the Feng family, who possessed the Ice Phoenix bloodline, felt their bloodline trembling in the face of this supreme dragon¡¯s might, all wanting to kneel. However, the dragon¡¯s might wasn¡¯t targeting them but was directed at Long Tianyu. Although the Dragon Blood Jade had nourished his red dragon bloodline into true dragon blood over twenty years, it only contained a trace of true dragon blood, far from being a true dragon. Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Thud! Long Tianyu could no longer withstand the immense dragon¡¯s might and fell to his knees, shattering two floor tiles. ¡°Why?¡± Long Tianyu roared, his face contorted with veins. The true dragon blood in his body couldn¡¯t withstand the dragon¡¯s might released by this bastard, forcing him to kneel! Could this bastard possess a true dragon body? As the Child of Destiny, Long Tianyu had his pride. He couldn¡¯t allow himself to kneel to anyone. He tried to stand but couldn¡¯t lift his knees no matter how much strength he used. The immense dragon¡¯s might made his blood tremble, as if a mountain pressed down on him. Bang! At this moment, a foot stepped on his face. Feng Yunhai, having been humiliated by Long Tianyu in front of the entire family, was already furious. Now, he only wanted to humiliate Long Tianyu in return, enjoying the feeling of revenge. ¡°You think you¡¯re so tough? Stand up then! You look like a dog when you kneel!¡± Feng Yunhai pressed his foot on Long Tianyu¡¯s head, rubbing it back and forth. ¡°Ah!¡± Long Tianyu roared hoarsely, filled with extreme humiliation. Being forced to kneel by Yang Chen was bad enough, but now he was being stepped on by this waste, Feng Yunhai. And all this was happening in front of Qian Ning and his mother-inw. His most humiliating moment was witnessed by the two women he cared about the most. ¡°Damn you, Feng Yunhai! I will kill you!¡± Long Tianyu had never suffered such humiliation in his life, even as a son-inw. ¡°Still talking back! Your backer is dead, how will you kill me? Do my shoes smell good?¡± Feng Yunhai¡¯s face was crazed, arrogantly fitting the stereotype of a brainless viin in a son-inw novel. [Ding! The host has forced Long Tianyu to kneel, severely damaging his state of mind, losing 2000 points of Providence Luck! The host has gained 2000 VPs.] [Ding! Feng Yunhai stepped on Long Tianyu, severely damaging his state of mind, losing 2000 points of Providence Luck! The host has gained 2000 VPs.] Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. Not bad, he had harvested 4000 VPs in one go. This was a big haul. Feng Yunhai¡¯s assistance as ackey was quite useful. At this moment, Feng Qian Ning, seeing Long Tianyu being stepped on, felt a twinge of pity. After all, he was her nominal husband. Although they had no real contact in over ten years, they were at least ordinary friends. Feng Qian Ning looked at her mother, seeing no intention to intervene. She knew that after Long Tianyu¡¯s offense against the Xuantian Sect and the mysterious half-step Soul Transformation cultivator being killed, even her mother didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Feng Qian Ning turned to Yang Chen, hesitated, and tentatively said, ¡°Your Highness, Tianyu has already been punished for his disrespect. Could you spare him this time?¡± Yang Chen nced at Feng Qian Ning and smiled warmly. ¡°Brother Yunhai, Long Tianyu is, after all, Miss Qian Ning¡¯s nominal husband. Let¡¯s give Miss Qian Ning some face and also withdraw your foot off his face.¡± Yang Chen¡¯s words made Feng Yunhai stop, but Long Tianyu still couldn¡¯t stand up. The pressure from the dragon¡¯s might still held him down. ¡°Thank you, Your Highness!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes sparkled with joy. She hadn¡¯t expected Yang Chen to let Tianyu go just because of her tentative request. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, you¡¯re wee. We were having a pleasant conversation earlier, so I must give you face.¡± Yang Chen smiled warmly, like a perfect gentleman, starkly contrasting his earlier ruthless demeanor when he killed the Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivator. A blush appeared on Feng Qian Ning¡¯s pale cheeks, and she felt a bit shy, unable to look Yang Chen in the eyes directly. Seeing this, Feng Yuwan was delighted. It seemed the Holy Son was quite pleased with her daughter. She gave Feng Qian Ning a meaningful look. Feng Qian Ning understood her mother¡¯s signal. Normally, she would have been resistant, but now she naturally raised a cup of wine and said, ¡°Your Highness, thank you for not holding a grudge against Tianyu. I offer you a toast on his behalf to apologize.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Yang Chen didn¡¯t refuse. He raised his cup and clinked it with hers, then both of them drank it down in one go. Seeing that the Holy Son bore no ill will towards the Feng family, the atmosphere in the hall rxed significantly. Several Feng family elders began to chat with the elders of the Xuantian Sect. However, Long Tianyu remained on his knees, a clear footprint on his face, looking out of ce amidst the jovial atmosphere in the hall. ¡°Damn bastards!¡± Long Tianyu growled softly. ¡°I will kill you all!¡± His eyes were filled with rage and hatred. Today was supposed to be the day he showcased his true self to Qian Ning, revealing his origins from the Central Continent and his true dragon bloodline, proving himself a peerless genius. Instead, he was forced to kneel on the ground, unable to stand, watching his wife and the man who humiliated him conversing and drinking together. And worse, his wife¡¯s face was blushing with shyness. ¡°Yang Chen, I swear I will kill you! I will tear you to pieces!¡± Long Tianyu was furious. [Ding! The host continues to force Long Tianyu to kneel and chat with his wife, Feng Qian Ning, damaging Long Tianyu¡¯s state of mind, making him lose 1000 points of Providence Luck. The host has gained 1000 VPs.] After the banquet, Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan went to a separate hall. ¡°Holy Son, the master of the Xuantian Sect should have informed you about our families¡¯ n to unite through marriage,¡± Feng Yuwan, dressed in pce attire, with a full and mature figure, spoke with a melodious voice. ¡°Yes,¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°My master did mention it before I came.¡± ¡°What do you think of my daughter?¡± Feng Yuwan smiled, her eyes shimmering. ¡°Miss Qian Ning is excellent,¡± Yang Chen replied, ¡°but she is already married.¡± Hearing this, Feng Yuwan immediately said, ¡°Holy Son, don¡¯t worry. Qian Ning¡¯s marriage with Long Tianyu is just in name only. Although they have been married for over ten years, they have always kept their distance. As long as you are willing, I can ensure that Long Tianyu, this son-inw, is expelled from our Feng family!¡± Her voice was somewhat urgent. After witnessing the strength of the Holy Son today, she was deeply shocked. An Eighth stage Nascent Soul cultivator possessing power surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator was unheard of. Moreover, the Xuantian Sect and that terrifying woman, Zhan Lingshuang, stood behind him. With his support, her position as city lord would be almost certain. However, Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Elder Feng, there¡¯s no need to force this. Miss Qian Ning and Long Tianyu have been married for over ten years; why break them apart? My principle has always been to break ten temples rather than break one marriage.¡± ¡°This?¡± Feng Yuwan frowned slightly, not understanding Yang Chen¡¯s intention. ¡°Holy Son, if our families unite through marriage, the influence of the Xuantian Sect in the Falling Snow Mountains will greatly increase. The Ice and Snow City is a top-tier power, and Qian Ning possesses the Ice Phoenix bloodline. With your dragon blood, you two would be a perfect match!¡± Feng Yuwan thought Yang Chen was looking down on her family, so she hurriedly exined. But Yang Chen waved his hand. ¡°Elder Feng, you also possess the Ice Phoenix bloodline. Therefore, the union doesn¡¯t necessarily have to involve Miss Qian Ning, who is already married.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Feng Yuwan was stunned. She frowned slightly and asked, ¡°Holy Son, what do you mean?¡± Yang Chen turned, looking into her charming eyes, and a smile curved his lips. ¡°Elder Feng, what I mean is, aren¡¯t you also unmarried?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chapter 111 Chapter 111 ¡°What, what!?¡± Feng Yuwan was instantly stunned. Her red lips parted slightly, and her dignified face was filled with surprise. Marry her? Did she hear wrong? She was the head of the Feng family, Qian Ning¡¯s mother!@@novelbin@@ After the initial shock, a trace of anger shed in Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes. If anyone else had dared to say this, she would have pped them. But these words came from Yang Chen, the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect. She had to endure it. After all, she desperately needed the support of the Xuantian Sect. ¡°Holy Son, please don¡¯t joke!¡± Feng Yuwan still had a smile in her eyes, but her voice grew heavier, and she referred to herself as ¡°this seat.¡± She hoped Yang Chen would get serious. However, Yang Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Senior Feng, you¡¯re joking. You don¡¯t look old at all! Although you¡¯ve cultivated for more than a thousand years, time has only added charm to you! This is something Miss Qian Ning cannotpare to at all! In my heart, Senior Feng is far more attractive than Miss Qian Ning!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s bold words left Feng Yuwan dumbfounded. If such words were spoken to a girl like Qian Ning, it might be apliment. But to say them to her was tant flirtation. She was his master¡¯s friend, a senior! Feng Yuwan initially thought that Yang Chen was joking when he mentioned marrying her. But now, these explicit words were certainly no joke. This was outright teasing. Feng Yuwan¡¯s perception of Yang Chen drastically changed. She didn¡¯t expect that behind his gentlemanly appearance, he was like this. Her voice turned much colder. ¡°Holy Son, please respect yourself! I am the head of the Feng family and a friend of your master! ording to seniority, you should call me Aunt Feng! Speaking like this is highly inappropriate!¡± ¡°Aunt Feng?¡± Yang Chen immediatelyughed. This woman was good at aiding his cause! Calling her Aunt Feng made him inexplicably excited! ¡°Holy Son, Qian Ning is still a virgin. Even in Ice and Snow City, many young geniuses wish to marry her! Long Tianyu, this so-called husband, is only in name! I can dissolve their marriage tonight! Moreover, I can see that Qian Ning has feelings for you. This would not be forcing her too much!¡± Suppressing her displeasure, Feng Yuwan continued to speak gently, hoping Yang Chen would follow the nned marriage with Qian Ning. However, Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Senior Feng, I said it before, there¡¯s no need to break up Miss Qian Ning and Long Tianyu! Moreover, although Miss Qian Ning is beautiful, she is too immature. I do not like this type!¡± Feng Yuwan frowned and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Then what type do you like? The Feng family has many beautiful female cultivators. As long as you are willing, you can choose anyone! I can make the decision to marry her to you!¡± ¡°What type does this junior like?¡± Yang Chen smiled at her words. ¡°Naturally, this junior likes someone like Senior Feng! A woman who has been seasoned by time is much more charming! Moreover, Senior Feng, you¡¯ve cultivated alone for over a thousand years. Aren¡¯t you lonely?¡± ¡°You, impudent!¡± Feng Yuwan could no longer endure, and shouted coldly. Her dignified face was full of anger. She didn¡¯t expect that Yang Chen, the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, who appeared to be a gentleman, was actually a shameless lecher. He dared to target her. She was his master¡¯s friend! A cultivator who had trained for over a thousand years, a dignified Nascent Soul realm cultivator! How could she allow such frivolous and sphemous behavior! Especially from someone so young! ¡°If Senior Feng is unwilling, this junior will not insist! Let¡¯s drop the marriage alliance!¡± Yang Chen said with a look of regret. In fact, the reason he took this opportunity to coerce Feng Yuwan was not because he genuinely liked her. Her mature beauty was one aspect. More importantly, it was aimed at Long Tianyu, the Chosen One. After all, Feng Yuwan was Long Tianyu¡¯s mother-inw. To call Long Tianyu ¡°Yu¡¯er,¡± this was the only way. And if he could be Long Tianyu¡¯s father-inw, he could harvest another wave of fortune points from him. That kid still had over 20,000 fortune points. At this moment, Feng Yuwan frowned deeply. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to drop it, she would have let it go. She, the head of the Feng family and a Soul Transformation cultivator, had her own pride. But now, with the uingpetition for the position of City Lord, without the support of the Xuantian Sect, she had almost no chance of winning the position. After all, the Lan and Bai families had been intermarrying for a century and were almost allied. If they joined forces, the Feng family would have no chance of winning. Seeing Feng Yuwan frowning deeply and looking troubled, Yang Chen smiled slightly and continued, ¡°Senior Feng, as far as this junior knows, the Feng family¡¯s current situation is quite dire! The head of the Lan family, Lan Qingshan, has reached the Third stage of the Soul Transformation realm. ¡°He is the strongest among your three n leaders! If he gets the position of City Lord this time, he can enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. By then, stepping into the mid-stage Soul Transformation realm would not be a problem! Senior Feng, that Lan family head has always wanted you to be his Dao partner, hasn¡¯t he? And if Lan Qingshan bes the City Lord, with his means, he will use the Feng family as leverage. Could you refuse? ¡°Tsk tsk, if this junior remembers correctly, Lan Qingshan is over two thousand years old and hideously ugly. If Senior Feng were to marry him, that scene would be unimaginable!¡± Beforeing, Yang Chen had thoroughly investigated the three major families of Ice and Snow City. The intelligence capabilities of the Xuantian Sect were quite impressive. Even within Ice and Snow City and the three major families of Lan, Bai, and Feng, there were many spies and hidden pieces. After all, Ice and Snow City, though a city of ice and snow, harsh and cold, was the only top force in the Luoxue Mountains. The cold attribute treasures produced in the Luoxue Mountains almost all flowed into Ice and Snow City. The Xuantian Sect would naturally want to have a hand in such a prized possession. Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Feng Yuwan¡¯s body trembled slightly, and her expression changed. Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Because what Yang Chen said was true. If Lan Qingshan became the City Lord of Ice and Snow City, the Feng family¡¯s situation would indeed be very difficult. Moreover, that old thing, Lan Qingshan, had proposed to be her Dao Companion more than once. If he became the City Lord and entered the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm, stepping into the mid-stage Soul Transformation realm, the Feng family would no longer have any means of resistance. At that time, for the sake of the family, she might have topromise and agree to marry him. Thinking of that old, ugly, shriveled man like a withered tree, she felt nauseous. Every time she saw his lecherous smile, she would get goosebumps. If she were forced to agree to marry him and be his Dao Companion, it wouldn¡¯t be anger she felt but a desire to die. Seeing the ch anging expressions on Feng Yuwan¡¯s face, Yang Chen knew that his words had struck a chord with her. Now it was time to fan the mes. Thus, Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept over Feng Yuwan¡¯s graceful figure, and he spoke seriously: ¡°So, Senior Feng, you don¡¯t want to marry Lan Qingshan or see the Feng family decline, do you?¡± *** ¡°You! Yang Chen, I really misjudged you. I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a despicable person who takes advantage of others¡¯ difficulties!¡± Feng Yuwan could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and said coldly. Due to her anger, her chest heaved in waves. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Feng Yuwan truly lived up to her name. Noticing Yang Chen¡¯s unrestrained gaze, Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes widened in shame and anger. ¡°Yang Chen, control your eyes!¡± She shouted coldly and quickly turned to the side. However, this turn gave Yang Chen a different view. From one angle, it looked like a peak, from another like a ridge, changing with distance and perspective e. ¡°Good poem, good poem indeed!¡± Yang Chen muttered softly. ¡°What good poem?¡± Feng Yuwan frowned and asked. ¡°Hehe! Nothing!¡± Yang Chen smiled awkwardly: ¡°Senior Feng, have you considered my proposal?¡± ¡°I, this seat!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression was conflicted. Without the support of the Xuantian Sect, the road ahead would be extremely difficult. She might even be forced to marry that old thing Lan Qingshan. However, if she agreed to Yang Chen¡¯s conditions ¡­ As the dignified head of the Feng family and a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, to marry someone much younger than her! If this spread, wouldn¡¯t she be ridiculed by everyone? Moreover, she was his master¡¯s friend. A senior, marrying him would be too shameful. Feng Yuwan¡¯s was hesitant. Yang Chen noticed this and knew she was already wavering. As a great viin, after coercing and enticing Zhao Shiroust time, Yang Chen had be familiar with the tactic of giving a stick and then a carrot. He had just used Lan Qingshan, that ugly monster, and the future of the Feng family to threaten her. Now, it was time to offer some benefits. Yang Chen continued: ¡°Senior Feng, you should have awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline, right?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Feng Yuwan rolled her eyes at him. She had indeed awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. Everyone in the Northern Spiritual Realm knew about it. Yang Chen was not annoyed and continued: ¡°Senior Feng, earlier in the main hall, you should have felt that this junior possesses dragon blood!¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen activated the divine dragon spine within his body. Immediately, a vast dragon might spread out. Earlier in the main hall, Yang Chen had also released this dragon might. However, at that time, it was targeted at Long Tianyu. Others did not feel much pressure. Now, the vast dragon might spread directly towards Feng Yuwan. Instantly, Feng Yuwan felt the Ice Phoenix bloodline within her trembling. It was a fearing from the depths of her bloodline. She couldn¡¯t help but want to kneel. ¡°What!?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s face was full of disbelief. She was a Soul Transformation realm cultivator. Even if faced with a peak Soul Transformation realm, she wouldn¡¯t feel the urge to kneel just from their aura. Especially not from someone at the Eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm like Yang Chen. ¡°Do you have the True Dragon Physique?¡± Feng Yuwan resisted the overwhelming bloodline pressure and asked in a deep voice, her expression changing slightly. She thought of a legendary physique. The True Dragon Physique! It was said that among humans, a True Dragon Physique could be born! Once fully developed, it could rival pure-blooded true dragons! ¡°Correct! This junior indeed possesses the True Dragon Physique! Or rather, even stronger than the True Dragon Physique!¡± Yang Chen wasn¡¯t lying. The ancient dragon spine within him had transformed his body to be at least as powerful as a True Dragon Physique. With his physical body and with the Green Lotus Heavenly me, he might even be stronger than a true dragon. ¡°Senior Feng, let me tell you a secret! My True Dragon Physique can help cultivators with the Ice Phoenix bloodline to awaken their Ice Phoenix bloodline! Dragons and phoenixes are both rulers of the demon race, inherently connected! True dragon blood and essence are Immensely beneficial! Think about it, if the Feng family had seven or eight, or even more than ten cultivators with awakened Ice Phoenix bloodlines, what kind of grand scene would that be!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°You can awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline? Is this true!?¡± Yang Chen knew the beautiful woman had taken the bait. ¡°Of course!¡± Yang Chen nodded confidently. ¡°Xu Qingxuan, who came with me, possesses the Ice Phoenix bloodline but had not awakened it! Later, I helped her awaken it! Senior Feng should have sensed it!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes flickered. She had indeed noticed the girl with the awakened Ice Phoenix bloodline. She had nned to discuss with Yang Chen about keeping that girl in the Feng family. She didn¡¯t expect it was Yang Chen who had helped her awaken it. ¡°Senior Feng should think it over! I¡¯ll give you half a moment. If you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll drop the matter!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s demand for a short time was to pressure her into making a quick decision. Feng Yuwan was deeply conflicted. It seemed that agreeing to Yang Chen¡¯s condition to marry him would be immensely beneficial for her and the Feng family. First, she could get rid of Lan Qingshan¡¯s pestering. Moreover, deeply binding the Feng family with the Xuantian Sect would greatly increase the chances of bing the City Lord of the Ice and Snow City, and there would be numerous benefits in the future. Most importantly, Yang Chen could help the Feng family cultivators awaken their Ice Phoenix bloodline. If the Feng family had five or six Soul Transformation realm cultivators in the future, they could be a top force on their own! However, what about Qian Ning? Today, she had noticed that the girl had strong feelings for Yang Chen. If Qian Ning found out Yang Chen was to be her stepfather ¡­ could she withstand such a blow? Sigh.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Feng Yuwan patted her forehead. With the rise and fall of the family at stake, how could she care about her personal shame and Qian Ning¡¯s feelings? As the head of the family, she must prioritize the family. Feng Yuwan made up her mind. She looked at Yang Chen with her beautiful eyes. ¡°Yang Chen, I agree to marry you! But you must promise to help me be the city lord of the city at any cost! And awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline in at least ten Feng family disciples!¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Yang Chen nodded. Helping Feng Yuwan be the city lord was part of his n. Moreover, if his spouse held the title of city lord of the Ice and Snow City, it would be even more prestigious. Most importantly, bing the city lord granted ess to the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. It was said to be left by an Ice Phoenix that descended on the Ice and Snow City tens of thousands of years ago for its bloodline descendants. Every city lord could enter it once. The city lord of the Ice and Snow City was always at the Soul Transformation realm, so each transition of the city lord happened over a thousand years. During this time, countless treasures were born in the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. The previous city lord had entered at the Third stage of the Soul Transformation realm and emerged at the Fourth stage. Not long after, he reached the Fifth stage. Thus, bing the city lord and entering the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm would significantly boost one¡¯s power. This meant the secret realm was extraordinary. Moreover, in the original plot, Long Tianyu would have helped his mother-inw Feng Yuwan be the city lord. Therefore, Long Tianyu would likely enter the secret realm. After all, such secret realms were generally prepared as opportunities for the Chosen Ones. So, this opportunity had to be seized from Long Tianyu. No, he couldn¡¯t be called Long Tianyu anymore. That sounded too distant. He needed to be called Yu¡¯er ¡­ After all, Feng Yuwan had agreed to marry him. Now, he had an important status. That being Yu¡¯er¡¯s father-inw. Hehe. Yu¡¯er would be very happy when he came to about this. He had long coveted his mother-inw, Feng Yuwan. Moreover, he would have to call him father-inw. Just thinking about it was thrilling. ¡°Yang Chen, why are you smiling? Is it because I agreed to marry you? Is it worth being so smug?¡± Feng Yuwan snorted coldly. Yang Chen immediately snapped back to reality. His eyebrows raised slightly. This woman needed some disciplining. Did she really think she was so important? At this moment, Yang Chen extended his divine sense and noticed a sneaky figure outside the main hall. A yful glint appeared in his eyes. Yu¡¯er really cared about his mother-inw. Having just knelt in the hall, now he was sneaking around. Hehe. Since Yu¡¯er was here, as a father-inw, wouldn¡¯t it be inappropriate not to give him a gift? Thinking of this, Yang Chen walked straight to Feng Yuwan¡¯s side. Before she could react, he pulled her into his arms. ¡°Ah! Yang Chen, what are you doing? Let go of me!¡± Feng Yuwan shouted angrily. Her true qi surged, ready to push Yang Chen away. However, when her true qi touched Yang Chen, it was absorbed by his body, causing no harm. ¡°This?¡± Feng Yuwan was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re a body cultivator?¡± ¡°Indeed, I am!¡± Yang Chen nodded. ¡°This junior has the True Dragon Physique, naturally a body cultivator!¡± ¡°You, scoundrel! Let go of me!¡± Feng Yuwan cursed softly. But Yang Chen had no intention of letting go. Feeling the fullness and smoothness in his arms, a sensation different from any before, Yang Chen felt quite content. He whispered in her ear: ¡°Senior Feng, we¡¯re about to marry, why be concerned about a little touch? Just for a moment!¡± ¡°Scoundrel!¡± Feng Yuwan bit her silver teeth, her face and neck turning red. Feeling the strong manly aura from Yang Chen, her cheeks burned, and her heart raced. Having cultivated in solitude for a thousand years without ever being touched by a man, she now felt a tingling sensation spread through her body as Yang Chen held her. Making her feel weak. ¡°Is this a man¡¯s embrace? Although this guy is quite a scoundrel, his chest is firm! And he¡¯s quite handsome, much better than that old tree bark Lan Qingshan!¡± An unusual emotion arose in Feng Yuwan¡¯s heart. The true qi surging in her body gradually dissipated. Meanwhile, standing stealthily outside the hall, Long Tianyu saw his mother-inw being held by Yang Chen. His face turned blue, his fists clenched, and veins popped on his forehead. ¡°Ah! Yang Chen, damn you! Let go of your thieving hands!¡± Long Tianyu was furious. Feng Yuwan was his! Only his! He had willingly been a son-inw in the Feng family for over a decade, all for that high and cold mother-inw. Even his wife Feng Qian Ning was just a foil in this regard. But now, his dream was being held in Yang Chen¡¯s arms. [Ding! The host had hugged Feng Yuwan, which was witnessed by Long Tianyu, causing his mental breakdown! Plundering 3000 points of Providence Luck from Long Tianyu. The host has gained 3000 VPs!] *** Hmm? Hearing the system¡¯s voice in his mind, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but curl his lips into a smile. Just by hugging Feng Yuwan, he had seized 3,000 fortune points? It seems that Yu¡¯er is really hurt. Yu¡¯er, oh Yu¡¯er. What you¡¯re doing is not right. This is your mother-inw. How can you be so possessive? At this moment, Long Tianyu was filled with grief and indignation, feeling an endless fury in his chest. His eyes were fixed on Yang Chen. This damned bastard, first, he flirted with Qian Ning. Then he killed Elder Zhang, who had always protected him. He also forced him to kneel in public. And now, he was hugging his mother-inw. Hateful! His mother-inw must have been coerced! Long Tianyu could only see Feng Yuwan¡¯s voluptuous back, unable to discern her facial expression. But he firmly believed that Feng Yuwan must have been forced. After all, his mother-inw had always been lofty and aloof, indifferent to men. In the Feng family for over ten years, he had never seen any man make physical contact with his mother-inw. ¡°Mother-inw!¡± Long Tianyu shouted directly. Immediately, held in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, having given up struggling and quietly feeling his embrace, Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes suddenly opened. ¡°Ah!¡± Feng Yuwan eximed softly. Then she hurriedly pushed Yang Chen away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°As expected! She was indeed forced!¡± Long Tianyu secretly congratted himself on his cleverness. That shout just now was perfectly timed. He had relieved his mother-inw from her predicament. Perhaps in the future, his mother-inw would treat him, her son-inw, well. Long Tianyu thought happily, then walked into the grand hall. At this moment, Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks were flushed with a delicate blush, her heart racing in a flurry of emotions. Just moments ago, Yang Chen had pulled her into a firm embrace. At first, she resisted, her mind a whirlwind of confusion. But as the seconds passed, a strange sense of calm washed over her, and she found herself surrendering to the warmth of his hold. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to savor the unexpected and intoxicating sensation. Chapter 114 Chapter 114 ¡°Damn it!¡± Feng Yuwan was ashamed and annoyed in her heart. What was wrong with her? This bastard was clearly forcing a hug on her. But why did she immerse herself in it? Could it be true as he said, that after a thousand years of solitary cultivation, she was lonely? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I am a dignified Soul Transformation cultivator, having cultivated for a thousand years with an extremely steadfast Dao heart! How could I be seduced by the embrace of a junior? I onlypromised just now for the sake of the family! Yang Chen, this bastard, can bring great benefits to the Feng family, so I agreed to the marriage! Finally allowing him a hug! Feng Yuwan forcibly convinced herself. Turning around, she looked at Long Tianyu, who shouldn¡¯t be here. Her face, originally full of shyness, instantly turned icy cold. ¡°Long Tianyu, this is my pce. Who let you in? Get out!¡± Feng Yuwan directly shouted coldly. Her beautiful eyes were full of lofty disdain. This expression was actually the same as usual. After all, as a mother-inw, how could she have a good expression toward him! If it had been before Yang Chen came, Feng Yuwan showing such an expression to Long Tianyu would have excited him greatly. After all, he liked his mother-inw being lofty and cold toward him. But now, thinking of the scene just now where his usually unattainable mother-inw was held in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, and facing him, she again became this lofty and cold face, Long Tianyu felt no excitement. Only humiliation and resentment. Hateful! Long Tianyu¡¯s face twisted. He cursed inwardly: ¡°Slut, if I hadn¡¯t appeared suddenly, would that damned bastard Yang Chen have let you go? You treat me coldly every day, but you were held by that bastard Yang Chen, and you didn¡¯t even dare to resist!¡± ¡°Long Tianyu, are you deaf!?¡± Seeing Long Tianyu ignoring her, indifferent to hermand, Feng Yuwan was furious. She walked up and was about to p him, to wake this son-inw up. But Yang Chen hurriedly stopped her. ¡°Senior Feng, what are you doing?¡± Yang Chen said, looking at Long Tianyu¡¯s flushed face, with a gentle smile: ¡°Yu¡¯er, don¡¯t mind what your mother-inw said just now! She has a tough exterior but a soft heart. She actually cares about you!¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°Yu¡¯er!?¡± Hearing these two words, Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes instantly turned ferocious. His forehead veins bulged as he roared: ¡°Yang Chen, what did you call me!?¡± ¡°Yu¡¯er!¡± Yang Chenughed. ¡°You are Qian Ning¡¯s husband, so of course, I should call you Yu¡¯er!¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Feng Yuwan¡¯s originally icy face blushed. She naturally knew why Yang Chen called Long Tianyu, Yu¡¯er. She had just agreed to marry him, and now this? ¡°Damn little rascal! Your face is really thick!¡± Feng Yuwan cursed inwardly. She couldn¡¯t let Yang Chen continue. This bastard was too shameless. If he continued, who knows what he would say. So she waved her sleeve. A gust of true energy blew Long Tianyu, who was unwilling to leave, rolling and crawling out of the pce. Bang! The grand hall closed directly. Outside, Long Tianyu¡¯s face was full of bruises. But he didn¡¯t care about the pain on his face. His heart was full of rage. Although this was not the first time he had been driven away by his mother-inw like this. But this time, he was exceptionally angry. Because inside the grand hall, there was that bastard Yang Chen. ¡°Hateful! Feng Yuwan, you slut, do you only vent your anger on me? One day, I will make you know how powerful I, Long Tianyu, am!¡± Long Tianyu said fiercely. But thinking of the scene he saw just now; he felt a pang of pain. His head felt green*. [*expression for being cuckolded] ¡°No, I can¡¯t keep being useless and a deadbeat son-inw! The twenty-year period is over, I should contact my father! Twenty years ago, the Red Dragon n had an internal conflict, my father had to send me out of the family, letting Elder Zhang bring me to this remote ce in the Northern Spiritual Realm! ¡°In twenty years, the Red Dragon n should have stabilized, and with my father¡¯s ability, he must have controlled the Red Dragon n! Now Elder Zhang is dead, if I return to the Central Continent alone, it would be dangerous, and who knows how long it will take! Better to send a message to my father, let hime and get me! If my fatheres, with his strength, he can sweep the Northern Spiritual Ralm! ¡°By then, I will cut Yang Chen, that bastard, into a thousand pieces, and destroy the whole Xuantian Sect to avenge Elder Zhang and today¡¯s humiliation! Then, I will make that lofty woman Feng Yuwan obediently lie beneath me!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s face gradually turned crazy. Stumbling, he came to his room. Just in time to see Feng Qian Ning, who had taken off her snow cloak, with only a snow gauze dress covering her delicate body. Although her figure wasn¡¯t as full and graceful as Feng Yuwan¡¯s, she was also curvaceous and enchanting. Especially her beautiful face, not as dignified and mature as Feng Yuwan¡¯s, but purer and colder. Sitting on a chair, her skirt moved up, revealing a white, tender, jade-like calf. Seeing his beautiful wife in front of him, Long Tianyu was stunned, his eyes fiery. His throat moved, and he swallowed hard. At this moment, Feng Qian Ning noticed his hot gaze wandering over her body, and her brows furrowed. She hurriedly stood up, her skirt falling down, covering her exposed calf skin. ¡°Tianyu, what are you looking at? Control your eyes!¡± Feng Qian Ning scolded softly. Long Tianyu immediately came back to his senses. If it were usual, he would definitely smile cheekily, thinking it didn¡¯t matter. After all, in their ten years together, Feng Qian Ning had always treated him like this. Whenever he couldn¡¯t control his eyes, Feng Qian Ning would remind him. Long Tianyu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with resentment. His own wife, Qian Ning, hadn¡¯t smiled at him in years. Yet, Yang Chen, that bastard, could make her blush and beam with ease. The injustice gnawed at him. Qian Ning, you are my wife! Long Tianyu¡¯s heart screamed in silent fury. At this moment, Feng Qian Ning put her snow cloak back on. Her graceful curves were covered again. ¡°Tianyu, what happened to your face? Why is it bruised and purple?¡± Feng Qian Ning noticed Long Tianyu¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but ask. Long Tianyu felt a trace offort in his heart. Thankfully, Qian Ning still cared about him. She noticed his bruised face at a nce. Long Tianyu didn¡¯t answer, but said solemnly: ¡°Qian Ning, stay away from that Yang Chen in the future, he is not a good person! I just saw that bastard in my mother-inw¡¯s pce, touching her!¡± ¡°You, why are you ndering the Holy Son!? The Holy Son is a gentleman, how could he be such a person!?¡± Feng Qian Ning frowned slightly, not believing Long Tianyu¡¯s words at all. After all, she was also beautiful, no less than her mother. At today¡¯s banquet, the Holy Son had hardly looked at her and kept his distance. ¡°Qian Ning, what kind of bewitching potion did that bastard give you? Why don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s face turned extremely ugly, filled with resentment. Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Feng Qian Ning sighed helplessly, ¡°Tianyu, is it because of what happened at the banquet today that you resent the Holy Son? Tianyu, I don¡¯t know what rtionship you have with that mysterious person, but he insulted the Xuantian Sect, and the Holy Son acted within reason by killing him! Moreover, you also insulted the Xuantian Sect. The Holy Son just gave you a slight punishment, already showing mercy considering me and the Feng family!¡± ¡°A slight punishment?¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes darkened instantly. Making him kneel in public, allowing Feng Yunhai, that useless person, to rub his face with his foot, was just a slight punishment? Moreover, he and Elder Zhang insulted the Xuantian Sect? The Northern Spiritual Realm was indeed a remote ce. Compared to the Central Continent, it was a world of difference. Although the Xuantian Sect was the top force in the Northern Spiritual Realm, it only had seven or eight Soul Transformation cultivators. In the Central Continent, it was just average. Their Red Dragon n had seventy or eighty Soul Transformation cultivators! They could sweep the entire Northern Spiritual Realm with a flick of the wrist! ¡°Tianyu, forget about today. Otherwise, if you seek revenge, it might bring about your death! The Holy Son is exceptionally talented, rarely seen in history, and will certainly be a supreme being. You and he are people from two different worlds!¡± Listening to Feng Qian Ning¡¯s almost worshipful praise of Yang Chen, Long Tianyu was furious, veins bulging on his forehead. ¡°Humph! Qian Ning, how long have you known him, just a day? Before the Feng family had you approach Yang Chen, you were resistant, but now why are you like this?¡± ¡°Tianyu, you!¡± Feng Qian Ning blushed as Long Tianyu hit the mark. Immediately, she felt both ashamed and annoyed. She coldly said, ¡°Long Tianyu, considering our ten years together as friends, I am kindly reminding you! If you don¡¯t heed my advice and get into trouble, don¡¯t me me for not warning you!¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Feng Qian Ning turned and left. ¡°Hateful! Qian Ning, I am your husband! That damned Yang Chen, what kind of bewitching potion did he give you? Why are you defending him? Damn you, Yang Chen, I will definitely kill you!¡± [Ding! Feng Qian Ning defended the host, showing admiration, Long Tianyu¡¯s mindset copsed, 1000 points of Providence Luck has been deducted from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] In the grand hall. Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. Another 1000 viin points in hand. However. The damage Feng Qian Ning inflicted on Yu¡¯er wasn¡¯t as high as Feng Yuwan¡¯s. After all, through Feng Yuwan, he had seized 3000 points at once. It seems, as the system said. Yu¡¯er and his father-inw shared the same interest. Hehe. *** Long Tianyu returned to his room and took out a crimson jade talisman. Although the talisman appeared dim, it was carved with intricate dragon patterns, radiating an extraordinary aura. Long Tianyu bit his finger, allowing a drop of blood to fall onto it. Instantly, the talisman shone brightly with red light, transforming into a crimson streak that pierced the sky, vanishing into the night. As he watched the talisman disappear, Long Tianyu¡¯s expression turned grim. This talisman was left to him by his father for emergencymunication. It could fly directly to Central Continent. Once his father received it, he woulde immediately, marking the end for that bastard Yang Chen. How could a mere Holy Son of Xuanyuan Sect dare to insult the direct bloodline of the Red Dragon n, the young master of the Red Dragon n? Long Tianyu nced at his reflection in the mirror, his face covered in bruises. His fists clenched in anger, his expression twisted with rage. ¡°Feng Yuwan, you bitch, after being harassed by that bastard Yang Chen, you took it out on me! I thought you were so unattainable, always so cold and aloof, but you ended up in a man¡¯s arms! Hmph, a mere Holy Son of Xuanyuan Sect can make you submit!! If you saw the power of my Red Dragon n, wouldn¡¯t youe running to my bed willingly? When the timees, I will properly discipline you and Qian Ning. Both of you can only belong to me, Long Tianyu!¡± With these thoughts, Long Tianyu folded his quilt into a depression, blew out the light, and soon the sound of the wooden bed creaking filled the room. For the past ten years, unable to cultivate and constantly watching his beautiful wife and alluring yet cold mother-inw, he had resorted to this nightly activity. This was his only way to indulge and find happiness in his otherwise frustrating life as a live-in son-inw. Meanwhile, in Yang Chen¡¯s room: ¡°Holy Son!¡± Elder Wei and two other peak Nascent Soul stage elders bowed respectfully. After witnessing the events at the banquet, they had a deeper understanding of this Holy Son¡¯s strength. Previously, they had heard that the Holy Son had defeated Thunder Sect¡¯s Grand Elder Lei Qianjue. They had thought it might have been due to Lei Qianjue¡¯s underestimation or some trick by the Holy Son. After all, the Soul Soul Transformation realm was a whole new realmpared to the Tenth stage of Nascent Soul realm, with a qualitative leap in power.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om In the history of the Northern Spiritual Realm, although there had been prodigies who overcame adversities to fight against the Soul Transformation realm, they had all reached the peak of Nascent Soul, or even half-step into the Soul Transformation realm, to cross such a significant boundary. But the Holy Son was only at the Eight stage of the Nascent Soul realm, still a distance from the Tenth stage. However, after today¡¯s banquet, they were utterly shocked. That half-step Soul Transformation realm cultivator was stronger than any of them, yet before the Holy Son, he had no chance to resist, not even to escape, being directly turned to ashes. This strength was not inferior to Soul Transformation realm cultivators, perhaps even stronger than some at the First stage of Soul Transformation realm. Although the three were senior elders, they dared not show any arrogance in front of this prodigious Holy Son, maintaining utmost respect. ¡°Qingxuan, serve tea to the three elders,¡± Yang Chen instructed Xu Qingxuan, who was standing by, and then motioned them to sit down. ¡°Holy Son, how did your discussion with the head of the Feng family go tonight? The Sect Master intends to form an alliance through marriage with the Feng family. What do you think of Miss Qian Ning?¡± Elder Wei asked. Yang Chen shook his head, ¡°Feng Qian Ning is already married! I have no interest in her!¡± Hearing this, Elder Wei nodded in agreement, ¡°Indeed! Although Miss Qian Ning has awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline, she is already married. Considering that you, the Holy Son, will inherit the position of Sect Master and lead Xuanyuan Sect, it would be inappropriate for a marriage alliance partner to have been previously married. This was an oversight by the Sect Master!¡± ¡°Holy Son, should the marriage alliance be called off then?¡± Elder Wei inquired. ¡°Called off? No!¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°I discussed it with the head of the Feng family and changed the marriage partner.¡± ¡°Holy Son, who has it been changed to?¡± Elder Wei asked. Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. ¡°The marriage partner has been changed to the head of the Feng family herself!¡± Chapter 116 Chapter 116 ¡°What!?¡± The three elders were wide-eyed with astonishment. The head of the Feng family was a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, had cultivated for over a thousand years, and was a friend of the Sect Master. By calction, she was considered an elder to the Holy Son. Although surprised, they dared not speak further, even secretly admiring the Holy Son¡¯s methods. The head of the Feng family was a renowned ice beauty in the Northern Spiritual Realm, unmatched in her youth, with countless suitors. Even after bing a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, top powers had proposed bing Daopanions with her, but all were coldly rejected. There had been many rumors about Feng Yuwan in their generation: some said she had no interest in men, others that she looked down on all men in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But now, this cold and proud woman had agreed to marry the Holy Son! They couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the Holy Son¡¯s methods, capable of winning over a thousand-year-old Soul Transformation realm cultivator! Just how would the Sect Master react, knowing her beloved disciple would marry her old friend? ¡°Elder Wei, hasn¡¯t the Fourth Elder returned from the Falling Snow Mountains?¡± Yang Chen asked. Xuanyuan Sect supported Feng Yuwan in seizing the position of the City Lord, officially led by the Holy Son and three peak Nascent Soul Realm elders, but the Fourth Elder had also been sent secretly. Moreover, the Fourth Elder was an ice attribute cultivator. However, even before they set off, the Fourth Elder had gone alone to the depths of the Falling Snow Mountains. Elder Wei replied, ¡°Holy Son, the Fourth Elder has always been entric. We need not worry about her. When we need her assistance, we can just send a message.¡± ¡°Hmm,¡± Yang Chen nodded slightly. The seven elders of Xuanyuan Sect were all Soul Transformation realm cultivators. It was said that the Fourth Elder had reached the mid-Soul Transformation realm. But she was likely not human but a demon. Rumor had it that the Fourth Elder¡¯s surname was Hu and had gone deep into the Falling Snow Mountains. Could she be from the Snow Fox n? After Elder Wei and the others left, Yan Jiu¡¯s withered figure appeared in the room. ¡°Master!¡± Yan Jiu knelt on one knee. His strength was now very close to the Soul Transformation realm, his stealth ability undetectable by the peak Nascent Soul realm elders. However, facing Yang Chen, he had no intention of resisting, not just because of the soul-binding parasite he had ingested, but also due to Yang Chen¡¯s current strength, which left him without a shred of defiance. After all, a half-step Soul Transformation realm had been easily eradicated. ¡°Yan Jiu, you should be quite familiar with Central Continent, right? Have you heard of the Red Dragon n?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°The Red Dragon n?¡± Yan Jiu paused, then said, ¡°Master, the Red Dragon n is considered a top-tier force in Central Continent. Central Continent is vast, a hundred timesrger than the Northern Spiritual Realm, with extremely abundant spiritual energy. Only forces with Void Refinement realm cultivators can be considered top-tier there. If I remember correctly, the Red Dragon n should have a Void Refinement realm ancestor. However, there are many Soul Transformation realm cultivators, at least ten times more than in Xuanyuan Sect. In Central Continent, breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm is much easier.¡± ¡°A Void Refinement cultivator?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly. So, the Red Dragon n wasn¡¯t as formidable as he thought. It seemed that Yu¡¯er¡¯s arrogance wasn¡¯t well-founded! Although the Northern Spiritual Realm hadn¡¯t seen a Void Refinement cultivator for nearly ten thousand years, his beautiful master had recently reached that stage. Even if Yu¡¯er brought the Void Refinement ancestor of the Red Dragon n, his father-inw wouldn¡¯t be intimidated. If necessary, he could send both Yu¡¯er and his Void Refinement ancestor away. After all, his master¡¯sbat prowess was extraordinary. Yang Chen had asked Yan Jiu about the Red Dragon n because knowing one¡¯s enemy was key to victory. He was not a brainless viin. Long Tianyu¡¯s Providence Luck could be slowly harvested, but it must remain within his control. If it went beyond that, he would have to eliminate him to prevent future trouble. Moreover, he did need to improve his own strength, considering that the heads of the major families in the Ice and Snow City were all Soul Transformation realm cultivators. Especially the head of the Lan family, Lan Qingshan, who was said to have reached the Third Stage of Soul Transformation realm. For the next month, Yang Chen remained in seclusion. He spent three thousand points to advance his cultivation from the Eight stage of Nascent Soul realm to the Tenth stage. In the great hall, dragon roars echoed as green and golden lights intertwined around Yang Chen. Within his soul pce, the Nine Colored Poria continued to nourish his soul with its radiant hues. The nine attributes of his soul made his spiritual power increasingly pure and powerful, even incorporating traces of thunder. Each additional color in the Nine Colored Poria represented a tribtion. Among all attributes, thunder was the most prominent. Having thunder within his soul was indeed a trump card, as the soul was most vulnerable to thunder. ¡°Holy Son, the head of the Feng family requests your presence in the Feng family hall for a discussion,¡± came Xu Qingxuan¡¯s voice from outside. Yang Chen exited the hall. Xu Qingxuan had donned a snow robe, entuating her tall and cool demeanor. However, her gaze towards Yang Chen always carried a hint of expectation and desire. Yang Chen noticed a faint blue light flickering in her eyes. ¡°Qingxuan, have you been cultivating the Feng family¡¯s ancestral technique?¡± Xu Qingxuan nodded slightly, ¡°Yes, Holy Son. The family head sought me out recently and passed the technique to me.¡± Yang Chen nodded. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s mother was from the Feng family in Ice and Snow City, making her a member of the Feng family by extension. It was natural for the Feng family to pass their ancestral technique to her.@@novelbin@@ Xu Qingxuan then walked up to Yang Chen and wrapped her arms around his, causing his dragon blood to stir slightly. Yang Chen gave her a stern look. This girl had activated the dual cultivation technique, Dragon and Phoenix. She really didn¡¯t miss any opportunity. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes grew misty as she murmured, ¡°Holy Son, this method is faster for cultivation!¡± Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but flick her forehead, pushing her back a few steps. ¡°Your advancement is already fast enough! How long has it been since you reached the Tenth stage of Foundation Establishment realm?¡± Yang Chen sighed. On the flying spirit boat, she often made physical contact with him, using the dual cultivation technique to rapidly advance her cultivation. Xu Qingxuan rubbed her fair forehead, looking somewhat wistful. She then asked, ¡°Holy Son, I heard that you¡¯re going to marry the head of the Feng family?¡± ¡°Hmm? It spread that quickly?¡± Yang Chen was a bit surprised but realized he had been in seclusion for a month. Upon hearing his confirmation, Xu Qingxuan¡¯s gaze turned a mix of resignation and curiosity. The Holy Son¡¯s mind was truly hard to fathom. Not marrying Miss Qian Ning was one thing, but marrying her mother, a thousand-year-old Soul Transformation realm cultivator? Despite her youthful appearance and enchanting figure, she had lived for over a thousand years! Why does the Holy Son always prefer older women? Sister Yuyan had cultivated for hundreds of years. The Empress Dowager, no, Sister Shirou had also cultivated for centuries. And now, the head of the Feng family, who had cultivated for a thousand years. The Holy Son liked them all but paid no attention to a young beauty like her. Sigh. Could it be that the Holy Son has a taste for mature charm? Xu Qingxuan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, quickly covering her cherry lips to prevent an outburst. This must be the Holy Son¡¯s biggest secret! Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Inside the grand hall of the Feng family,Yang Chen stepped in.Feng Yuwan,dressed in a long pce gown,with her ck hair tied in a bun and fair cheeks adorned with delicate makeup,exuded the grace of a beautiful woman.Despite her plump figure,a silk band around her waist made it appear incredibly slender. Noticing Yang Chen¡¯s gaze lingering on her,Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled thest time he had forcibly held her.She red at him and coldly said,¡±Yang Chen,control your eyes!¡± ¡°Hehe!¡±Yang Chen chuckled,not getting angry,and walked to her side.A faint fragrance reached his nose,and he took a deep breath. ¡°Senior Feng,you smell so good!¡± ¡°You,how insolent!¡±Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks flushed with a tinge of red as she red at him fiercely.This little rascal was truly shameless. ¡°Yang Chen,you said before that you could help the younger generation of our Feng family awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline within them!¡±Feng Yuwan frowned,then instructed the maid outside the hall,¡±Go call Young Master Yunhai!¡±@@novelbin@@ After a while,Feng Yunhai hurried over. ¡°Aunt!¡±he called out,then saw Yang Chen standing next to Feng Yuwan.The word¡±Holy¡±almost slipped out,but he quickly ttered,¡±Greetings to Uncle!Uncle and Aunt standing together truly are a match made in heaven,like celestial beings!¡± ¡°Well,not bad,not bad!Yunhai,you are quite eloquent!¡±Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly,praising him.This guy was truly apetent sycophant. Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but re at Feng Yunhai,scolding,¡±What Uncle,don¡¯t word it so randomly!¡± Deep down,she felt a sense of helplessness.Since she announced her marriage to the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect,she thought the elders would oppose it.But unexpectedly,they strongly supported it,spreading the news throughout the Ice and Snow City in just one month.Now even Yunhai called him Uncle directly. ¡°Yunhai,sit down cross-legged!Uncle will bestow you an opportunity!¡±Yang Chen said. Feng Yunhai¡¯s eyes lit up,and he quickly sat down,full of expectation.Yang Chen¡¯s fingertip exuded a drop of golden blood,which radiated golden light,dyeing the hall in gold.A vast dragon aura swept through,and a golden dragon¡¯s shadow circled in the hall.Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes were serious.As expected of the True Dragon¡¯s body,a single drop of blood had such power.Feng Yunhai trembled all over.Just a drop of blood made him feel like kneeling. Yang Chen¡¯s physical cultivation had reached the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul realm,with power contained in his blood more than the true qi in many Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivators.Moreover,this drop of blood was essence blood,intended to focus on nurturing Feng Yunhai.Yang Chen dropped the blood on Feng Yunhai¡¯s forehead,enveloping him in rich golden light,transforming him into a golden cocoon. Feng Yuwan,somewhat worried,asked,¡±Yang Chen,what¡¯s going on?Yunhai,he?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry!This is a drop of my essence blood,containing immense energy!Yunhai can¡¯t absorb all of it at once,so the energy has turned into a golden cocoon enveloping him.When Yunhai refines this drop of essence blood,the golden cocoon will disappear,and he will undergo a drastic transformation!¡±Yang Chen said slowly. ¡°I see!¡±Feng Yuwan breathed a sigh of relief.Among the younger generation of the Feng family,apart from her adopted daughter Qian Ning,Yunhai was the closest to her. Suddenly,a pair of mischievous hands wrapped around her slender waist. ¡°Ah!Yang Chen,what are you doing?Let go of me!¡±she eximed,her cheeks flushing.She wanted to break free,but Yang Chen¡¯s arms were like iron mps. ¡°Bastard!Yang Chen,don¡¯t be too presumptuous!¡±she shouted angrily. Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly.This woman,used to being domineering,treating him arrogantly. He pressed close to her ear and said yfully,¡±Senior Feng,we are about to get married!Your behavior is not appropriate!If you are just using me,I will be heartbroken!When I am heartbroken,I like to wander around.If I leave Ice and Snow City,then what will happen to your Feng family?Hehe,I think Senior Feng has paid such a great price and doesn¡¯t want to fail at this moment,right!?¡± ¡°Yang Chen,you are a bastard!¡±Feng Yuwan gritted her teeth and red at him,feeling helpless.She gave up struggling and let Yang Chen hold her in his arms,feeling a deep sense of shame. Momentster,a blue light shot into the sky,followed by a loud phoenix cry echoing throughout the Ice and Snow City.A huge Ice Phoenix shadow appeared in the sky. ¡°The Ice Phoenix Seal has emerged!¡±Feng Yuwan,held by Yang Chen,had a serious expression. Yang Chen looked at the phenomenon,focused.The position of the City Lord of Ice and Snow Ancient City was passed down through the Ice Phoenix Seal.Among the three major families,whoever obtained the Ice Phoenix Seal would be the new City Lord.It was said that the Ice Phoenix Seal contained the remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix from tens of thousands of years ago,with a certain degree of self-awareness. The previous City Lord was from the Lan family,and although the City Lord had died,the Lan family still upied the City Lord¡¯s mansion.Above the mansion,the Ice Phoenix shadow became more solid. The heads of the three major families,holding their respective family seals,could turn the Ice Phoenix back into a seal,but that was also the moment to snatch the seal.Originally,the position of City Lord was alternated among the three families,butpetition had be increasingly fierce in recent millennia,reaching the point where the strongest became the City Lord. The Feng family entered the City Lord¡¯s mansion in a grand procession,finding the martial arts field already upied by the Lan and Bai families. ¡°Feng Yuwan!It seems your Feng family really can¡¯t make it,needing Xuanyuan Sect to support you!Hmph,our Ice and Snow City is a top force in the Northern Spiritual Realm,dominating the Falling Snow Mountains!Your Feng family¡¯s actions are truly disgraceful!¡±spoke Bai Zhou,the head of the Bai family,coldly.His voice carried the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. ¡°Bai Zhou,ording to the rotation rule,the City Lord position should have long been held by our Feng family!You two families secretly allied,wanting to monopolize the City Lord position,do you think our Feng family is blind?¡±Feng Yuwan¡¯s aura was not weak,speaking coldly.The two Soul Transformation auras collided in the air,forcing a group of Nascent Soul cultivators to retreat. Bai Zhou noticed Yang Chen beside Feng Yuwan and said yfully,¡±This must be the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect!I heard the Holy Son is going to marry this old woman,Feng Yuwan.I was really surprised!How about the Holy Sone to my Bai family,we can offer ten young and beautiful female cultivators,all younger than Feng Yuwan,hahaha!¡± Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed in anger. ¡°Bai Zhou,you are courting death!¡±she struck out with a palm.However,Bai Zhou,also a Soul Transformation cultivator,had been in the Soul Transformation realm for over eight hundred years,with a stronger foundation than Feng Yuwan¡¯s. Bang! True qi collided,spreading wildly,blowing sand and rocks around the martial arts field.Bai Zhou didn¡¯t move an inch,but Feng Yuwan retreated three steps. ¡°Haha!Feng Yuwan,you can¡¯t even match me,and you want to challenge Brother Lan for the city lord position!Wishful thinking,overestimating yourself!¡±Bai Zhou¡¯s old face was full of disdain.The Lan and Bai families had already nned to swallow the Feng family.They were not surprised that the Feng family sought support from Xuantian Sect.But even with Xuantian Sect¡¯s help,the overall situation could not be changed.Bai Zhou¡¯s eyes were full of confidence.The old guy Lan Qingshan had reached a new level,even Xuantian Sect couldn¡¯t do anything to him. ¡°Damn it!The Bai family is bullying too much!If the city lord position is taken by the Lan family again,our Feng family might really have no ce in Ice and Snow City!¡±The elders of the Feng family were filled with righteous indignation,but helpless.Among the three families,the Feng family was the weakest. ¡°Mother,are you alright?¡±Feng Qian Ning came to Feng Yuwan¡¯s side,concerned.¡±I¡¯m fine!¡±Feng Yuwan frowned.She was shocked because Bai Zhou¡¯s strength had always been on par with hers.Now,he was suddenly much stronger. Bai Zhou¡¯s old eyes scanned Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning,shing with lechery. He had long coveted this mother and daughter pair.However,Feng Yuwan was already reserved by Lan Qingshan,so he could only take Feng Qian Ning.If she bore him a son,the chance of awakening the Ice Phoenix bloodline would be high.Bai Zhou¡¯s gaze shifted to Yang Chen,a bold idea rising in his mind.If he captured this Xuantian Holy Son first and controlled him,Xuantian Sect would have to give up supporting the Feng family. Thinking of this,Bai Zhou turned into a shadow and rushed towards Feng Qian Ning. ¡°Qian Ning,watch out!¡±Feng Yuwan hurriedly stood in front of Feng Qian Ning. ¡°Haha!¡±Bai Zhouughed proudly.His target was not Feng Qian Ning,but the Xuantian Holy Son. ¡°Holy Sone to my Bai family!Let me entertain you well!¡±Bai Zhou¡¯s w-like hand reached for Yang Chen¡¯s neck. Yang Chen didn¡¯t dodge,just stood still,a smile on his lips.When Bai Zhou grabbed his neck,Yang Chen¡¯s hand also grasped Bai Zhou¡¯s arm and exerted force. ¡°Ah!¡± A shrill scream echoed in the martial arts field.Blood sttered,and two arms were thrown into the air. Bang! Yang Chen punched Bai Zhou¡¯s chest,causing him to spit blood and fly out.His bloody body flew into the air and then exploded into a rain of blood. *** Blood rain fell over the entire martial arts field of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion,shocking everyone present.The patriarch of the Bai family,one of the three giants of Ice and Snow City,and an old Soul Transformation Realm cultivator,had been turned into a blood rain by a single punch!? The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the field were horrified.In the Ice and Snow City,and even the entire Northern Spiritual realm,Soul Transformation Realm cultivators stood at the pinnacle! They could overlook Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators,and allmon people.But now,they seemed so fragile!Many among them had lived for over a thousand years and considered themselves experienced in the ups and downs of the Northern Spiritual realm.However,this was the first time they had witnessed such a scene. Behind Yang Chen,Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes were also full of astonishment.She already thought Yang Chen¡¯s strength surpassed hers,but she didn¡¯t expect this bastard¡¯s strength to be so overwhelming. Even though he was a body cultivator,Bai Zhou,that old bastard,had already broken through to the Second stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.Yet,in front of Yang Chen,he was so vulnerable.If that punch had hit her,she would have ended up the same way.No wonder she couldn¡¯t break free when this little bastard held her,and she had to let him do whatever he wanted. Thinking of the scene where she was forcibly held by Yang Chen before,her face turned slightly hot.If it weren¡¯t for the sudden appearance of the Ice Phoenix Seal,who knows what excessive actions this little bastard would have taken. ¡°Damn junior!You turned out to be a body cultivator!Destroying my physical body,I will definitely skin you alive!¡±A voice full of extreme grief and indignation echoed through the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.Then,a blue shadow appeared in front of everyone. Soul Transformation Realm cultivators had already condensed their primordial spirit.Even if their physical body was destroyed,as long as the primordial spirit existed,they could still survive. However,Bai Zhou¡¯s primordial spirit shadow,although identical to his true self,was quite dim.This was also because his strength was only at the Second stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.After Soul Transformation cultivators condensed their primordial spirit,it was just a nearly transparent shadow.As their cultivation increased,the primordial spirit would gradually deepen. Like Empress Yan¡¯s primordial spirit,which was almost like a real person,Soul Transformation Realm cultivators found that hard to achieve. Bai Zhou¡¯s voice was full of hatred. Although Soul Transformation cultivators could survive without their physical bodies,the physical body was still the foundation of cultivation.Without a physical body,it would be difficult for future cultivation to progress. At this moment,he was filled with regret and turned to leave.But how could Yang Chen give him this opportunity?A demonic mountain descended from the sky,towering and majestic.Its momentum was overwhelming,as if to suppress the heavens and the earth.It directly pressed down on Bai Zhou¡¯s primordial spirit shadow.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Junior,how dare you!?¡±Bai Zhou¡¯s primordial spirit burst out with power,forming a pir of light that shot straight into the sky.However,it couldn¡¯t stop the demonic mountain from pressing down. Boom! The earth trembled.Bai Zhou¡¯s primordial spirit shadow was directly suppressed under the demonic mountain.Green mes surged,instantly turning the demonic mountain into a zing volcano. ¡°Ah!It¡¯s Primordial Fire!Damn bastard!Brother Lan,save me!Save me!Ah!¡± One after another,mournful cries emanated from within.A dignified Soul Transformation Realm cultivator,standing at the pinnacle of the Northern Spiritual realm,was now screaming so tragically.This scene made everyone present tremble in their hearts.At this moment,a blue palm print covered the sky,blotting out the sun,and mmed down,intending to destroy the demonic mountain. Bang! Chapter 119 Chapter 119 The palm print heavily struck the demonic mountain. Although the demonic mountain trembled, it remained towering and steady. ¡°What powerful suppression skills!¡± A hoarse voice sounded. Yang Chen looked towards the sky. An elderly figure with a dry face, like an old tree¡¯s wrinkles, was staring at him. Despite his withered appearance, he exuded a much stronger aura than Bai Zhou. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes slightly narrowed. Lan Qingshan¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak of the Third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, nearing the Fourth stage. Much stronger than Feng Yuwan and Bai Zhou. Soul Transformation Realm cultivators were rare in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators seldom appeared. A Third stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator could indeed dominate a region. But today, even a Third stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator couldn¡¯t cause much trouble. ¡°Holy Son of Xuantian sect, give me some face and release the Bai family patriarch! After all, today¡¯s matter is an internal affair of our Ice and Snow City! It¡¯s unreasonable for your Xuantian sect Sect to intervene!¡± Lan Qingshan said slowly. ¡°Patriarch Lan, you don¡¯t have much in terms of face!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s tone was indifferent. ¡°You, hmph, arrogant junior! In that case, I can only deal with you first!¡± Lan Qingshan snorted coldly and pped directly at Yang Chen. He was only one step away from the Fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, because of his talent, he couldn¡¯t break through. As long as he became the City Lord and entered the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm, he could step into the Fourth stage, or even the Fifth stage. In the future, no one in the Northern Spiritual Realm could restrain him. Not even the Xuantian sect. He used his entire strength in this palm strike. He wanted to kill Yang Chen, the Holy Son of Xuantian sect. However, a giant demon shadow holding a stone axe appeared behind Yang Chen. With a single strike, demonic energy surged. It was as if the world was being split open. Bang! The palm he struck with all his might was directly shattered by the giant axe.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°What!? How is this possible?¡± Lan Qingshan was shocked. Yang Chen was a body cultivator. Taking advantage of Bai Zhou¡¯s carelessness, he turned his physical body into blood mist with a punch. That was understandable. However, with his cultivation only at the Tenth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, how was hisbat power was not inferior to his? He was at the peak of the Third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm! This? Is this kid a monster? Since ancient times, a Tenth stage Nascent Soul cultivator defeating a First stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator was a feat that could be a legend. But this kid, was not inferior to him! ¡°Patriarch Lan, is this all you got? If so, you need not leave!¡± Golden light surged from Yang Chen¡¯s body, shooting straight into the sky. A golden dragon shadow hovered above the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Vast dragon might swept through the entire Ice and Snow City. ¡°True Dragon, True Dragon Physique!? You have a True Dragon Physique?¡± Lan Qingshan¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment. Although he had reached the Third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Facing this vast dragon might, the Ice Phoenix bloodline within him trembled, wanting to kneel down. ¡°Damn junior! No wonder you have such perversebat power!¡± Lan Qingshan cursed and turned to leave. His bloodline was suppressed, and he couldn¡¯t exert half of his full strength. If they fought, he would surely lose. But at this moment, a snow-white sword light shed across the sky. Poof! Lan Qingshan was directly shed, spewing blood and flYang out. His eyes were full of fear. ¡°Mid-stage Soul Transformation!?¡± But before he could react, Yang Chen appeared in front of him. Bathed in golden light, like a golden-armored war god. Using the Divine Dragon DefYang Heaven Technique learned from the Dragon Spine. Bang! A golden dragon w struck Lan Qingshan¡¯s head solidly. Poof! Although Lan Qingshan was at the third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm with true energy protecting him, Yang Chen¡¯s strike turned his head into a blood mist. His primordial spirit shadow tried to escape. However, another demonic mountain descended. The demonic mountain trembled violently, on the verge of copse. Lan Qingshan¡¯s soul power was far stronger than Bai Zhou¡¯s. ¡°Yan Jiu, I¡¯ll leave it to you! Hurry up!¡± Yang Chen transmitted his voice to Yan Jiu. As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of ck mist surged into the demonic mountain. Mournful cries followed, but it became quiet in just a moment. With the primordial spirits suppressed, Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou couldn¡¯t resist Yan Jiu, the Soul Cult cultivator. The demonic mountain¡¯s shadow dissipated, and everything returned to silence. The two Soul Transformation Realm cultivators hadpletely fallen. Feng Yuwan stepped into the void and came to Yang Chen¡¯s side. ¡°Are they both dead?¡± Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock, and her voice trembled with disbelief. Two Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, her arch-enemies for centuries, were directly refined and killed just like that? ¡°Of course, they¡¯re all dead!¡± Yang Chen replied. ¡°Senior Feng, I killed them to help you, so you can ascend to the position of City Lord without any obstacles! Senior Feng, you must repay me well!¡± His gaze swept over Feng Yuwan¡¯s graceful and curvaceous figure, his tone bing gradually yful. Hearing these words, Feng Yuwan¡¯s body trembled slightly. This bastard, though he called himself a junior, his strength far exceeded hers. Moreover, once he made a move, he was so ruthless. Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou were both over two thousand years old, ancient and indestructible. They had dominated the Falling Snow Mountain Range for over a thousand years, renowned figures in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Yet in front of him, they couldn¡¯t resist much. They couldn¡¯t even escape. They were directly refined and killed here. Looking into Yang Chen¡¯s somewhat gentle yet yful eyes, Feng Yuwan felt a chill down her spine. This bastard was absolutely a ruthless and calcting character. Luckily, he didn¡¯t agree to marry Qian Ning. That girl was too innocent. Marrying this bastard would only lead to her being manipted. Even as her mother, having cultivated for over a thousand years, she felt powerless against this bastard. Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes swept over the City Lord¡¯s Mansion below. With Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou dead, the Ice and Snow City now only had her as a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator. Although she could be the City Lord of the Ice and Snow City, the city¡¯s strength would be greatly reduced from now on. However, despite this, she did not regret it. If Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou did not die, the alliance of the two families would eventually lead to the extinction of her Feng family. Moreover, it would result in the disappearance of her entire n, with far more severe consequences. Feng Yuwan put aside her various emotions and looked at the Ice Phoenix in the sky. ¡°Senior Feng, do you have a way to collect the Ice Phoenix Seal?¡± Yang Chen said beside her. ¡°If not, I can help you!¡± ¡°No need!¡± Feng Yuwan quickly replied. ¡°I have a way to collect it!¡± Her beautiful eyes couldn¡¯t help but nce at Yang Chen, afraid that he would intervene violently and damage the Ice Phoenix Seal. Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou could die, but the Ice Phoenix Seal, a sacred artifact passed down in the Ice and Snow City for tens of thousands of years, must not be damaged in the slightest. Feng Yuwan¡¯s jade hand made a gentle grasping motion towards the ground. Chapter 120 Chapter 120 The family tokens held by Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou were taken into her hand. Then, the three tokensbined. Immediately, the Ice Phoenix in the sky began to shrink rapidly. Finally, it transformed into an ice-blue seal. A lifelike phoenix was carved on it, with wings spread wide. ¡°Greetings to the City Lord!¡± Seeing Feng Yuwan collect the Ice Phoenix Seal, the elders of the Feng family were excited. They all bowed deeply. With Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou dead, the Ice and Snow City would now belong to the Feng family. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you two families paying respects to the City Lord!? Do you still harbor ill will?¡± An elder of the Feng family sternly addressed the members of the Lan and Bai families. Having been suppressed by the Lan and Bai families for over a thousand years, the Feng family had long been holding back a lot of anger. Although the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lan and Bai families outnumbered the Feng family by several times, they didn¡¯t dare to resist at this moment. Two Soul Transformation Realm cultivators were easily killed before their eyes. How could they, mere Nascent Soul cultivators, resist? The Holy Son of Xuantian sect was truly terrifying. With their patriarchs dead, they could only do their best to ensure their families¡¯ survival. ¡°The Lan family pays respects to the City Lord and will follow the City Lord¡¯smands from now on!¡± ¡°The Bai family pays respects to the City Lord and is willing to serve the City Lord from now on!¡± In the martial arts field, the Lan and Bai family cultivators knelt on one knee, performing a grand salute. ¡°Congrattions, Senior Feng! From now on, you shall be addressed as City Lord Feng!¡± Yang Chen cupped his hands, his gaze sweeping over Feng Yuwan¡¯s elegant and voluptuous figure, a slight smile curling at his lips. Feng Yuwan, holding the Ice Phoenix Seal, surrounded by the phoenix¡¯s shadow, stood in a water-blue pce dress, cinched at the waist, lightly fluttering in the wind. Her green hair was tied up, her white neck slightly raised. Mature and graceful, she exuded a sense of cold nobility, indeed fitting the aura of a City Lord. Moreover, marrying City Lord Feng would indeed feel more aplished than marrying the head of the Feng family. *** Seeing the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Lan and Bai families all submitting, kneeling on one knee, calling out ¡°City Lord,¡± Feng Yuwan felt a sigh of relief in her heart. Even though Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou were dead, the strength of these two families was still not to be underestimated. The number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was much greater than her Feng family. If they were unwilling to submit, there would inevitably be a bloody battle today. She could try to appease them, but Yang Chen, that bastard, was very ruthless. Two Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, killed just like that. Would he care about these Nascent Soul cultivators? Although she wanted to weaken the Lan and Bai families, now was not the time, nor should it be done this way. Feng Yuwan just wanted to say a few words to appease the cultivators of the Lan and Bai families, but suddenly, her expression froze. Her delicate body trembled slightly. The Ice Phoenix Seal in her hand almost fell. Because her soft waist was encircled by a pair of mischievous hands. Moreover, those mischievous hands were restlessly caressing gently. ¡°Damn bastard!¡± Feng Yuwan gritted her teeth. Her fair jade face flushed hotly, full of blush. She couldn¡¯t help but re at Yang Chen. What kind of asion was this? Below, there were cultivators from three families, a dense crowd of people. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, this bastard actually, actually held her. Damn it. Feng Yuwan wanted to break free with all her might. Although the news that she was to marry Yang Chen, the Holy Son of Xuantian sect, was already known to all the cultivators of Ice and Snow City, she was, after all, the head of the Feng family, and now even the City Lord of Ice and Snow City. How could she be held by someone in public! If this were to spread, people might think she used her beauty and body to gain the support of the Xuantian Sect! What would the world think of her? What would they think of the Feng family? ¡°Yang Chen, let go of me! Do you know where we are now or what time it is now? So many people are watching! You don¡¯t care about your face, but I care about mine!¡± Feng Yuwan scolded softly. However, Yang Chen leaned closer to her ear and said: ¡°Senior Feng, I am doing this for your sake!¡± ¡°You, you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Feng Yuwan chided. This bastard was really shameless. Clearly taking advantage of her, yet iming it was for her good. Simply shameless. ¡°Senior Feng, Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou are dead. Now you are the only Soul Transformation Realm cultivator left in Ice and Snow City! Ice and Snow City gathers all the wealth of the Falling Snow Mountain Range, it¡¯s a juicy piece of meat! Which of the top forces in the Northern Spiritual Realm doesn¡¯t want a share? Do you think you, a single Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, can guard the Ice and Snow City?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, Feng Yuwan instantly calmed down.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Her delicate body stopped struggling violently. These words were indeed correct. The Ice and Snow City previously had four Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. Only then could they control the entire Falling Snow Mountain Range, preventing other top forces from coveting it. But now, only she was left, and she was the weakest among the four, with only a cultivation of the First stage of Soul Transformation Realm. Noticing Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression, the corner of Yang Chen¡¯s mouth curved slightly. He knew his words had worked. ¡°Senior Feng, so me holding you is for your good! This way, outsiders will see how close we are and won¡¯t dare to have designs on the Falling Snow Mountain Range and the Ice and Snow City! After all, the prestige of my Xuantian Sect isn¡¯t for nothing! If I¡¯m not wrong, Senior Feng, doesn¡¯t want other top forces to take advantage of the situation, right?¡± Yang Chen whispered in her ear. His voice seemed to have a magical power. Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. She finally gave up strugglingpletely. This bastard was taking advantage of the situation, but his words made sense. Now, she could only rely on the power of the Xuantian Sect to deter the various forces. Otherwise, relying on her strength alone, it would be difficult to guard Ice and Snow City. Sigh, forget it! Since we are already engaged, letting him hold me isn¡¯t a big deal! After all, in the hall before, this bastard¡ª! Thinking this, Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate body gradually softened. She leaned into Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. Chapter 121 Chapter 121@@novelbin@@ At this moment, in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, the younger generation of the Feng family looked up at their family head and the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect in the sky, embracing each other like a pair of celestial lovers, each one was extremely excited. ¡°From now on, Ice and Snow City will be under the Feng family¡¯s rule!¡± ¡°After thousands of years, the position of City Lord of Ice and Snow City is finally back in the hands of our Feng family!¡± ¡°The union between our family head and the Holy Son is truly a wise decision!¡± ¡°If not for the Holy Son today, our Feng family would have beenpletely devoured by the Lan and Bai families!¡± ¡°The Holy Son¡¯s cultivation is too strong, killing Soul Transformation cultivators like pigs and dogs!¡± ¡°The family head and the Holy Son standing together are truly a match made in heaven, like celestial lovers!¡± Listening to the discussions around her, left a bitter taste in Feng Qian Ning¡¯s mouth. Her eyes were filled with loss and envy. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the banquet that day. The Holy Son, a refined gentleman, yet extremely domineering. That figure appeared in her dreams every night. But now, the Holy Son had chosen to marry her mother. ¡°Sigh!¡± Feng Qian Ning sighed softly ¡­ Perhaps only her mother was worthy of the Holy Son. After all, she was only an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. The gap between her and the Holy Son was too vast. Though they were from the same generation, they were in two different worlds. Beside Feng Qian Ning, Long Tianyu also followed closely. At this moment, Long Tianyu looked at Feng Yuwan in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace in the sky, his eyes filled with fierce hatred. His forehead was bulging with veins. ¡°Bastard! Feng Yuwan, you shameless woman! Aren¡¯t you the head of the Feng family, a Soul Transformation cultivator? Always aloof, always cold to me! How can you be willing to marry a junior, and be held and toyed with in front of the cultivators of the three families!?¡± Long Tianyu was full of anger. Last time in the hall, he had caught Yang Chen forcibly hugging his mother-inw. He had stopped it cleverly. Although his mother-inw had taken out her anger on him, at least Yang Chen¡¯s plot had been thwarted. But now, Feng Yuwan, whom he considered his possession, had agreed to marry Yang Chen. Furthermore, she was held obediently in Yang Chen¡¯s arms in front of everyone. Long Tianyu was resentful. He had been a son-inw in the Feng family for over ten years. Feng Yuwan, his mother-inw, had always been aloof and cold to him. Yet, as the young master of the Red Dragon n in Central Continent, he was willing to endure it, because he had already developed a twisted pleasure in his heart. However, this pleasure depended on Feng Yuwan being untouchable by others. Otherwise, it would no longer be pleasure, but torture. [Ding! The host has hugged Feng Yuwan in public. She is no longer reluctant to your touch. Witnessing this act, Long Tianyu has had a mental copse! The host has gained 2000 VPs!] Hmm? While feeling Feng Yuwan¡¯s voluptuous body, Yang Chen¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. He scanned the surroundings. Finally, his gaze fixed on the angry figure beside Feng Qian Ning. The corner of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but curve into a smile. Unexpectedly, Yu¡¯er hade. Hehe. What a pleasant surprise. I was caught by Yu¡¯er again. Seeing Yu¡¯er¡¯s fierce eyes, he must be very envious and jealous of me, his father-inw. Otherwise, why would he lose another 2000 points? Hehe. Yu¡¯er, Yu¡¯er, this is your mother-inw. Why do you have to be so possessive? This is not right! *** ¡°Tianyu, what¡¯s wrong? Why do you have such a scary look on your face?¡± Recovering from her thoughts, Feng Qian Ning noticed something was off with Long Tianyu. His sinister and twisted expression made her feel a bit frightened. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m fine!¡± Long Tianyu snapped back to reality, speaking in a deep voice. Looking at his beautiful wife beside him, the resentment in his heart slowly subsided. That bastard Yang Chen, since he was marrying Feng Yuwan, he wouldn¡¯t have any designs on Qian Ning. From now on, Qian Ning would be his. In this misfortune, this was a blessing. Besides, Qian Ning cared a lot about him as her husband. Although theirst fight was unpleasant, their rtionship had returned to normal this past month. Qian Ning even started calling him affectionately ¡°Tianyu¡± again. ¡°Qian Ning, since the family head has now be the city lord, you are the young city lord of Ice and Snow City!¡± ¡°Why worry about that son-inw?¡± ¡°Exactly! Qian Ning, now that the Holy Son is marrying the family head, you are his stepdaughter, and your status is incredibly noble!¡± Several young talents of the Feng family ttered Feng Qian Ning, speaking disdainfully of Long Tianyu. Despite the appearance of a mysterious Nascent Soul Realm cultivator calling Long Tianyu ¡°Young Master¡±st time, Long Tianyu had been the Feng family¡¯s son-inw for over ten years. They were used to insulting him. Moreover, the mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator had been killed by the Holy Son in one move shortly after appearing. So, these Feng family talents had no fear of Long Tianyu. With the Holy Son choosing to marry the family head, Feng Qian Ning, who was originally intended to be engaged, was now avable. The Feng family allowed internal marriages, and as long as they weren¡¯t direct rtives, they could marry. Feng Qian Ning was one of the three great beauties of Ice and Snow City. How could they not be interested in her? ¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s face turned grim as he was mocked by these people. He had started cultivating this month, and his cultivation had rapidly advanced to the Fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. He could now draw more power from the Dragon Blood Jade. A few early-stage Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing to him. ¡°Wow, you¡¯re still daring to speak rudely to us!?¡± ¡°Long Tianyu, it seems being a son-inw has made you forget your ce!¡± ¡°Do you want us to teach you a lesson?¡± Several Feng family members looked at Long Tianyu with malicious intent. ¡°You guys are courting death!¡± Long Tianyu was already seething with anger. His cherished person, Qian Ning, was being held by that bastard Yang Chen, and he was powerless. But now these trash dared to mock him, calling him a son-inw repeatedly. Damn it. He needed to establish his authority today and show Qian Ning that her husband was not a waste but an extraordinary genius and future powerhouse! Long Tianyu activated the Dragon Blood Jade, and a crimson dragon shadow appeared, striking the Feng family members. They spat blood and were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious and possibly dead. ¡°Tianyu, you!¡± Seeing this, Feng Qian Ning was shocked. She had noticed that Tianyu had started to show signs of true qi fluctuations recently and could cultivate. But to think that a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator could send several Golden Core cultivators flying with one strike was unbelievable. Seeing the astonishment on Feng Qian Ning¡¯s face, Long Tianyu smiled proudly. This was the effect he wanted. ¡°Qian Ning, I could always cultivate. My bloodline was sealed, preventing me from gathering true qi. Now that the twenty-year period is over, I can cultivate again. Believe me, I will reach the Golden Core Realm in less than ten years!¡± Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Long Tianyu¡¯s voice was full of confidence. With the blood of a true dragon coursing through his veins, he had every right to be confident. The Central Continent was his stage. But as he finished speaking, a Feng family elder hurried over, his expression filled with fury. ¡°Xuan¡¯er!¡± The elder¡¯s voice trembled with emotion as he saw his son, covered in blood and possibly dead. The sight ignited a fire of rage within him. ¡°Long Tianyu, how dare you! As a Feng family son-inw, you dare attack core disciples!¡± The elder¡¯s voice wasced with anger, his eyes burning with indignation. ¡°No matter what sorcery you used, I will punish you today!¡± The Feng family elder was a formidable Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. When he struck at Long Tianyu, the difference in power was immediately apparent. A Nascent Soul strike was iparable to an early Golden Core strike. Even with the Dragon Blood Jade¡¯s power, Long Tianyu couldn¡¯t withstand the attack. The crimson dragon shadow he conjured was shattered, and the force of the elder¡¯s handprint forced him to his knees. One more move, and he would be killed. ¡°Elder Yujie, please show mercy!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s voice rang out as she tried to intervene, her face filled with concern. But the elder, seeing his son in such a state, was beyond reason, his sorrow deep and consuming. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, my son is my only child. Is the son of a Feng family Nascent Soul elder less important than a son-inw?¡± His words stoked the mes of righteous indignation among the surrounding Feng family disciples and elders. ¡°That¡¯s right! Feng Xuan is a core disciple of the Feng family! Long Tianyu is just a son-inw. How can he be more important?¡± ¡°Just for a few insults, he struck so ruthlessly!¡± ¡°Today is the day the matriarch takes over as the city lord. Long Tianyu is clearly causing trouble!¡± ¡°He must be severely punished!¡± The growing outcry among the disciples and elders made Feng Qian Ning frown. The situation was delicate. As the young lord of the Feng family, if she protected Long Tianyu now, it would cause dissatisfaction among the family elders and disciples. But if she didn¡¯t, the elders would surely kill him. ¡°Long Tianyu, you deliberately injured Feng family core disciples. Considering you¡¯re the son-inw, I¡¯ll spare your life but abolish your cultivation!¡± The elder¡¯s eyes were fierce, his anger blinding him to reason. The thought of his son being beaten by a son-inw filled him with fury. He raised his hand, ready to abolish Long Tianyu¡¯s cultivation. ¡°You bastard, you dare!?¡± Long Tianyu panicked, the realization of the elder¡¯s intentions hitting him like a wave of cold water. He hadn¡¯t expected the old man to want to cripple his cultivation. He had waited twenty years to cultivate again. If he lost his cultivation now, it would all be over.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°Qian Ning, stop this madman!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s voice was desperate, his eyes filled with fear and pleading. Feng Qian Ning looked at him with helplessness and disappointment. ¡°Elder Yujie ¡­¡± she began, but the elder interrupted her with a determined look. ¡°Miss Qian Ning, I must avenge my son today!¡± His hand descended, about to cripple Long Tianyu¡¯s cultivation. At that moment, a blue light appeared, blocking the qi handprint. Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan descended from the sky, walking side by side. ¡°Elder, please show mercy!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice wasmanding yet calm as she stepped forward. ¡°Tianyu is my son-inw!¡± Yang Chen walked through the air, a faint smile ying on his lips as he approached slowly. The breeze gently ruffled his clothes, adding to his elegant and refined aura, making him appear like an immortal descended to the mortal world. Next to him stood Feng Yuwan, whose voluptuous and graceful figure and peerless beauty were overshadowed by Yang Chen¡¯s brilliance. The female elders and disciples of the Feng family all looked at him with adoration, their eyes shimmering. This Holy Son not only possessed immense strength but also an extraordinary and refined temperament. This sight would be unforgettable for them, something they would seek in their dreams for the rest of their lives. ¡°Your Highness!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s gaze followed Yang Chen as he walked over, her red lips parting softly. Only a few steps away from him, the scene mirrored the banquet a month ago when she first met the Holy Son. They had shared drinks and enjoyable conversations then, but now, he was about to marry her mother, making him her elder. Her eyes were filled with destion, mixed with some resentment and regret. Yang Chen descended from the air, stopping right in front of Long Tianyu, who was pressed to the ground by the force of true qi, looking like a toad on all fours. When he looked up, he met Yang Chen¡¯s condescending and yful gaze. His mother-inw, whom he cherished, stood next to Yang Chen, her soft jade-like hand holding his arm, a blush still lingering on her face. Her gaze towards him was filled with disdain and annoyance, tinged with a lofty and icy arrogance. This usual arrogance now only stirred up a wave of anger and humiliation in him. Damn it! Feng Yuwan, you bitch! Yang Chen, I swear I¡¯ll kill you!Long Tianyu¡¯s mind raged with fury, but he was powerless to do anything. [Ding! The host has looked down on Long Tianyu, who is pressed to the ground, damaging Long Tianyu¡¯s state of mind! Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 500 VPs!] [Ding! Feng Yuwan has held the host¡¯s arm and has looked at Long Tianyu indifferently, causing Long Tianyu to harbor resentment! Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck from Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved slightly. He hadn¡¯t even taken action, yet he had already gained 1500 viin points. He chuckled inwardly, thinking, Long Tianyu¡¯s mindset is too fragile. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness!¡± Several Feng family elders quickly came to their senses and bowed in greeting. At this moment, Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression turned cold and stern. What kind of asion was this? She had just received the Ice Phoenix Seal and taken over as the city lord, and the family members were already causing trouble. This was making a spectacle for the Lan and Bai family cultivators. Just as she gained the city lord position, it looked like this. How could she lead Ice and Snow City in the future? ¡°Feng Yujie, what are you trying to do? Do you know what asion this is?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice was cold, and her Soul Transformation Realm pressure swept over the area, causing a heavy weight to descend on the Feng family members. Feng Yujie felt the pressure and quickly exined, ¡°Matriarch, this son-inw Long Tianyu used some means to severely injure several core disciples of our Feng family! ording to our family rules, if a son-inw deliberately harms core disciples, the lightest punishment is to abolish his cultivation, and the heaviest is death! I was just following the rules to abolish his cultivation as a warning!¡± ¡°Long Tianyu severely injured several core disciples?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression showed a hint of surprise. She nced at the unconscious young disciples beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt. This waste had been acting very strangelytely. First, he defeated Feng Yunhai, an early Golden Core cultivator, at the banquet, and now he had severely injured several core disciples. And his cultivation was only at the Fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Yang Chen spoke up, his tone smooth and persuasive. ¡°Elder Yujie, the rules are dead, but people are alive! Tianyu is, after all, Qian Ning¡¯s husband! Now that this Holy Son is marrying the Feng City Lord, Tianyu is also my son-inw! A son-inw is like half a son, and a father-inw is like half a father! So, I am like half of Tianyu¡¯s father too! Isn¡¯t that right?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, what the Holy Son says is absolutely correct!¡± Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Feng Yujie quickly nodded in agreement and hastily withdrew the true qi handprint. He felt a bit regretful. This Holy Son didn¡¯t seem to understand the situation with the Feng family¡¯s son-inw and truly regarded him as his son-inw. Long Tianyu was indeed lucky today. Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s serious tone, Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at him. This rascal was really good at taking advantage. iming such a grown son so shamelessly. Truly thick-skinned. ¡°Tianyu, here is a healing pill, a token of my goodwill as your father. Take it quickly!¡± Yang Chen extended a pill to Long Tianyu, his face full of benevolent concern. However, the word ¡°father¡± made Long Tianyu¡¯s face turn green. Remembering Elder Zhang, who was killed by this scoundrel, and his cherished mother-inw, who was forced to marry him, and now calling himself his father, Long Tianyu was filled with rage. ¡°Yang Chen, stop taking advantage of me! I swear I¡¯ll kill you one day!¡± Long Tianyu shouted angrily, ring at Yang Chen with bloodshot eyes. ¡°Impudent!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s cold voice rang out. She raised her hand, delivering a p across the air, striking Long Tianyu¡¯s face. Though she didn¡¯t use much force, the p sent Long Tianyu flying, blood spilling from his mouth, teeth scattering. ¡°A son-inw, less than a dog, dares to speak disrespectfully! Truly insolent!¡± Feng Yuwan snorted coldly. Though she felt Yang Chen deserved the scolding, as the Feng family matriarch, she had to take a stand. Besides, she had long been annoyed with this son-inw. If not for the fact that he was still a Feng family son-inw, that p would have ended his life.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Ah! Feng Yuwan, you bitch! One day I¡¯ll crush you beneath me and make you know my power!¡± Long Tianyu, lying on the ground, felt the burning pain on his face and an overwhelming sense of humiliation. Rage boiled inside him. Being pped by his mother-inw wasn¡¯t new, but this time, it was different. He looked up and saw Yang Chen¡¯s mocking eyes and Feng Yuwan¡¯s icy, high-and-mighty expression. Fury surged, and he couldn¡¯t hold it back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out. [Ding! Feng Yuwan pped Long Tianyu, causing his mental state to copse and faint, plundering 2000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has been awarded with 2000 VPs!] Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved into a smile. Tianyu, it seems your mother-inw¡¯s p dealt quite a significant blow to you. *** A month passed quickly. The deaths of Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou, both Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, caused a great sensation throughout the Northern Spiritual Realm. These two had been famous for over a thousand years, known as veteran cultivators of the highest level, and their notoriety was unmatched. Many top powers were initially interested in the treasure of the Falling Snow Mountain Range. However, upon hearing about the marriage between the Xuantian Holy Son and Feng Family Patriarch Feng Yuwan, they abandoned their ns. After all, if the Xuantian Holy Son could kill Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou, he could easily kill them too, especially with the mighty Xuantian Sect backing him. ¡°Your Highness, how is my massage? Do you feelfortable?¡± Yang Cheny on a jade chair while Xu Qingxuan breathed softly behind him. Her jade-like fingers kneaded his shoulders back and forth, more like stroking than kneading. She continuously operated the Dual Cultivation Technique of the Dragon and Phoenix, although her true qi was of little use to Yang Chen now. The tingling sensation from physical contact was unavoidable, leaving Yang Chen helpless. He had left the Xuantian Sect some time ago and was feeling restless. At this moment, a soft voice came from outside the door: ¡°Your Highness, Qian Ning requests to see you!¡± ¡°Qian Ning?¡± Yang Chen was stunned. Then he said, ¡°Come in!¡± The door opened, and Feng Qian Ning¡¯s tall figure slowly walked in. She wore a snow-white gauze dress with a snow cloak draped over her shoulders, her ck hair flowing down her back, exuding coolness. She bowed to Yang Chen: ¡°Qian Ning greets Your Highness!¡± ¡°Qian Ning, there¡¯s no need for formalities! We¡¯re all family now!¡± Yang Chen smiled slightly. A blush immediately appeared on Feng Qian Ning¡¯s fair cheeks. She naturally understood the meaning of being family. She nced at Xu Qingxuan behind Yang Chen, her eyes full of envy. Being the maid of the Holy Son was indeed fortunate, but she didn¡¯t have this chance. ¡°Qian Ning, you came to find me for a reason, right?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°Your Highness, my mother said there¡¯s an important matter to discuss and has asked you toe over. She is waiting for you at the City Lord¡¯s Mansion,¡± Feng Qian Ning said softly. ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen stood up. He said to Xu Qingxuan, ¡°Qingxuan, Qian Ning has also awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline and reached the Golden Core Realm. You can learn from her!¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of resentment. She had finally got a chance to be alone with the Holy Son, to absorb some dragon qi, but it was ruined again. In the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Feng Yuwan wore a moon-white pce dress adorned with blue phoenix embroidery, wrapping her voluptuous and graceful figure. Her ck hair was styled into a bun, revealing her snow-white neck. In her white jade hand, she held a blue seal, a shadow of an ice phoenix circling around her, making her extraordinarily beautiful. After bing the city lord, Feng Yuwan¡¯s noble and elegant demeanor became even more pronounced. Noticing Yang Chen¡¯s gaze lingering on her, Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks felt slightly hot, but she didn¡¯t say anything. She had gotten used to it over time. This guy had embraced her several times already, so she didn¡¯t mind it anymore. ¡°Yang Chen, I have decided to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm! During this period, I will trouble you to guard Ice Snow Ancient City!¡± Feng Yuwan said softly. But Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Senior Feng, I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do!¡± ¡°Won¡¯t do?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate eyebrows furrowed. ¡°Are you worried that I will break my promise after advancing my realm? Rest assured, I will keep my word! When Ie out of the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm, our marriage will still stand!¡± Feng Yuwan said, her fair cheeks a bit unnatural. During this month, the news of the marriage between the city lord of Ice Snow Ancient City and the Xuantian Holy Son had spread throughout the entire Northern Spiritual Realm. She had heard all sorts ofments, most saying she was an old cow eating young grass. Just thinking about it made her angry. Did she want this? She waspletely forced! Hearing this, Yang Chen¡¯s eyes showed a trace of helplessness. Did this woman really think of him as a lustful ghost? Having been busy in Ice Snow Ancient City for so long, Yang Chen¡¯s goal was not just to marry this beautiful widow, Feng Yuwan. His goal was the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. ording to the original plot, Long Tianyu, the son of fate, would definitely enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm. There must be a great opportunity hidden within it for Long Tianyu. As the viin, how could he not take it? Chapter 124 Chapter 124 ¡°Senior Feng, I also want to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm!¡± Yang Chen said slowly. ¡°You also want to enter the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm?¡± Feng Yuwan immediately shook her head and refused. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! The Ice Phoenix Secret Realm was left by the Ice Phoenix Ancestor, only the cultivators of the three great families can enter!¡± ¡°I¡¯m also a cultivator of the three great families!¡± Yang Chen said, walking slowly to Feng Yuwan¡¯s side. He extended his arms and embraced her soft waist. ¡°You!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s body trembled immediately. She wanted to struggle, but thinking of this scoundrel¡¯s physical strength, she gave up. She just snorted coldly: ¡°How are you a cultivator of the three great families?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Yang Chen said yfully. ¡°Senior Feng, we are married now. As the husband of the Feng family patriarch and the city lord of Ice and Snow City, isn¡¯t it fair to say I am a cultivator of the three great families?¡± ¡°You! Shameless!¡± Feng Yuwan turned her head and red at Yang Chen. A blush appeared on her fair cheeks. This scoundrel really had thick skin. However, Feng Yuwan didn¡¯t persist in the end. After all, with her current strength and situation, she couldn¡¯t strongly refuse Yang Chen. If she strongly refused, it might anger this scoundrel. Who knew what he would do then? After all, the fate of Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou was right in front of her. Although this scoundrel always took advantage of her and married her, Feng Yuwan didn¡¯t think Yang Chen was a kind-hearted person. This scoundrel appeared to be a gentleman on the outside, but he was ruthless and shameless inside. Moreover, the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm was a world of ice. Yang Chen, being a fire cultivator, wouldn¡¯t gain much even if he went in. In such extraordinary times, she could only go against the ancestral rules. ¡°It seems Senior Feng has agreed! Thank you!¡± Yang Chen said, Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks suddenly flushed, and she became flustered, quickly saying: ¡°Yang Chen, I agree! But you better behave yourself! You scoundrel!¡± ¡°Senior Feng, I¡¯m thankful!¡± A few dayster, Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan arrived at a forbidden area in the City Lord¡¯s Mansion. The City Lord¡¯s Mansion of Ice and Snow City covered a vast area, like a small city. However, this forbidden area, where all elders and disciples were forbidden to enter, was just an ancient pce. But the pce was surrounded byyers of formations. Even if someone wanted to force their way in, without the Soul Transformation Realm cultivation, they couldn¡¯t even break the formation. Entering inside, a stone tablet several meters high stood in the center of the hall. The stone tablet was entirely snow-white. Inscriptions carved on it formed a phoenix pattern. Around the stone tablet, the ice-attribute spiritual energy was extremely dense. It was five or six times more concentrated than the outside world. Yang Chen gazed at the stone tablet in front of him. He felt a spatial fluctuation. These ice-attribute spiritual energies were emanating from the stone tablet. ¡°Senior Feng, is the Ice Phoenix Secret Realm inside the stone tablet?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Feng Yuwan nodded slightly. She bowed to the stone tablet, her jade-like face full of reverence. ¡°The cultivation of the Ice Phoenix Ancestor was incredibly powerful. The Ice Phoenix Secret Realm is a small world created by the ancestor! Moreover, within this small world, there is a wisp of the ancestor¡¯s soul! The soul can continuously absorb energy from the void and transform it into pure ice-attribute spiritual energy! This is why every new city lord can rapidly increase their cultivation after entering it!@@novelbin@@ ¡°Yang Chen, before entering, I must warn you that the Ice Phoenix Ancestor is very likely still alive. If she senses you, an outsider, the consequences are beyond my control!¡± ¡°Still alive?¡± Yang Chen was slightly stunned. Ice and Snow City had existed for forty to fifty thousand years. If that Ice Phoenix Ancestor was still alive, wouldn¡¯t she have lived for at least forty to fifty thousand years? But thinking about it, being able to create a small world, this level of cultivation was indeed incredible. And being a beast, its lifespan was much longer than that of humans. Living for forty to fifty thousand years and still being alive was usible. However, Yang Chen was not afraid. On the contrary, he was a bit excited. After all, that would be an old phoenix that had lived for tens of thousands of years. *** Feng Yuwan raised the Ice Phoenix Seal in her hand, and it immediately emitted a brilliant blue light. Without hesitation, she merged the seal into the stone tablet. Instantly, a force of spatial energy filled the air around them. The once silent stone tablet began to form a white light gate, from which an intense wave of icy cold surged outward. Yang Chen followed Feng Yuwan as they stepped through the gate. When they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a vastndscape of mountains, ins,kes, and snow-covered terrain stretching endlessly into the horizon. This space truly deserved to be called a small world. With Yang Chen¡¯s keen eyesight, he couldn¡¯t even see the edges; the space spanned at least thousands of miles. The power needed to create such a vast space was beyond imagination, a testament to the might of that ancient phoenix. At this moment, Feng Yuwan took out an ancient map, studied it briefly, and then flew toward the horizon. Yang Chen followed closely behind. It wasn¡¯t long before they arrived at a smallke. Despite the extreme cold, theke had not frozen over. Instead, its surface shimmered with gentle ripples. Yang Chen reached out to touch the water and was surprised to feel an icy chill that prated deep into his bones. This was no ordinary cold¡ªYang Chen possessed Primordial fire, the blood of a divine dragon, and had reached the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in body cultivation, yet thiske water still made him feel an intense cold. ¡°This is Profound Ice Spirit Water, formed from concentrated icy energy!¡± Feng Yuwan said with a hint of schadenfreude. ¡°If you weren¡¯t a body cultivator, just a single touch would have been enough to freeze your hand off!¡± Seeing Yang Chen suffer was one of the few things that brought her joy. ¡°Profound Ice Spirit Water?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression grew serious. He had read about it in ancient texts. Profound Ice Spirit Water only forms in ces with extremely dense icy spiritual energy, and usually, it¡¯s just a small puddle. Whenever it appears, it causes fiercepetition among ice-attribute cultivators. Yet, before himy an entireke. Though theke wasn¡¯trge, about a hundred meters in diameter, if all of it were absorbed and refined, Feng Yuwan¡¯s strength would increase tremendously. Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment as she gazed at theke. ording to her n¡¯s records, each time the secret realm opened, a small pool of Profound Ice Spirit Water would form, and refining it would rapidly enhance one¡¯s strength. But this was no mere pool¡ªit was a wholeke! Chapter 125 Chapter 125 At that moment, the previously calmke began to ripple. The waves gradually grew more turbulent, and then, in the center of theke, a snow lotus slowly emerged. As the lotus bloomed, a single blue lotus seed appeared at its center, emitting a chilling glow. The Profound Ice Spirit Water in theke began to freeze rapidly, a sight that left both Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan in shock. Profound Ice Spirit Water, born from the gathering of icy spiritual energy from heaven and earth, was so pure that even a Soul Transformation Realm ice-attribute cultivator couldn¡¯t freeze it. But now, with the appearance of the snow lotus, the entireke had frozen solid. ¡°The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice!¡± Feng Yuwan eximed, her voice filled with astonishment. ¡°The legend is actually true!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s expression froze as he recalled what he had read in ancient texts. The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice was said to grow only when watered daily with Profound Ice Spirit Water. Given how rare Profound Ice Spirit Water was, it would take tens of thousands of years to mature a Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, making it an incredibly valuable treasure and the sacred object of all ice-attribute cultivators. Feng Yuwan¡¯s face grew solemn as she soared into the air and flew toward the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice. However, as she approached, a ghostly light shot out from the lotus, striking her with such force that even her Soul Transformation Realm cultivation couldn¡¯t withstand it. She was sent flying, blood spilling from her lips, but Yang Chen quickly caught her. ¡°Ah! You bastard, let go of me!¡± Feng Yuwan demanded, her voice hurried and her face flushed with embarrassment, not even bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Yang Chen looked down and immediately understood, a yful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. No wonder his hand had felt something soft earlier. He chuckled inwardly¡ªFeng Yuwan truly lived up to her name.* [*The name ¡°Feng Yuwan¡± implies a refined, elegant person, much like a phoenix. Here, Yang Chen is yfully implying that Feng Yuwan¡¯s soft, delicate qualities match the elegance her name suggests.] ¡°Uh, cough, cough!¡± Yang Chen cleared his throat and reluctantly released his hold on her, then said seriously, ¡°Senior Feng, there should be an array formation inscribed around the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice. The attack earlier wasn¡¯t from the lotus itself but from the power of the array.¡± Feng Yuwan, still flustered, red at him but quickly refocused on the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice in the center of theke. She pondered aloud, ¡°An array? Could it be that this array was inscribed by the Ice Phoenix Ancestor?¡± ¡°The Ice Phoenix Ancestor inscribed it?¡± Yang Chen echoed, surprised. But as he thought about it, it made sense. This small world had been created by that ancient phoenix, so it was entirely possible that the array around the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice had been its work.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°No matter who inscribed it, I must obtain the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice!¡± Feng Yuwan dered, her eyes full of determination. If she could acquire the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, not only would her cultivation rapidly advance, but her cultivation talent would also greatly improve, giving her a chance to reach the Void Refinement Realm in the future. However, to obtain the lotus, the array needed to be broken first. She turned to Yang Chen and asked, ¡°Yang Chen, do you think you can break this array?¡± Yang Chen looked toward theke, assessing the array. It was indeed profound, but it was also ancient. The passage of time had likely weakened it, which might exin why the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice had surfaced. Without answering, Yang Chen flew above the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice and sliced open his palm. As drops of golden blood dripped down, they triggered a reaction¡ªdense lines of patterns appeared around the lotus, then gradually faded until theypletely disappeared. Swish! As the array was broken, the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice transformed into a beam of white light, attempting to flee. But Yang Chen was quick, catching it in his hand. Feng Yuwan hurried over, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise as she saw the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice struggling in his grip. It was said that some sacred herbs, if they grew for enough years, could develop spiritual intelligence. Today, she had witnessed it firsthand. If she could refine this Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, not only would she reach the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, but with enough time, she might even enter the Void Refinement Realm. ¡°Yang Chen, you¡¯re a fire-attribute cultivator; this Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice is useless to you. Could you give it to me?¡± she asked, her tone much softer, her face full of expectation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will fulfill my promise and marry you!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a slight smile as he responded, ¡°Senior Feng, given our rtionship, of course, I can give it to you! However, refining the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice might not be as easy as you think.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Feng Yuwan asked, frowning slightly. Yang Chen handed the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice to her and said, ¡°Senior Feng, try touching it.¡± As soon as Feng Yuwan took the lotus, a cold energy swept through her body, instantly covering her face with frost. ¡°So cold!¡± she eximed. With just one touch, she felt as though her entire true energy was about to freeze solid. ¡°Senior Feng, the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice is indeed the sacred object for ice-attribute cultivators. Watered with Profound Ice Spirit Water for tens of thousands of years, it has finally matured. Even though you are a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, it will still be difficult to withstand the extreme cold of the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice. But!¡± ¡°But what?¡± Feng Yuwan asked eagerly. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept over her graceful figure, his tone bing slightly yful. ¡°But if you have theplementary power of Extreme Yang, refining it will be much easier!¡± Chapter 126 Chapter 126 ¡°Mutual Assistance of Extreme Yang?¡± Feng Yuwan furrowed her brows slightly. Yang Chen exined, ¡°Senior Feng, the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice has absorbed the cold essence of the Profound Ice Spirit Water for ten thousand years, making it the most extreme yin and cold object in the world! Even though you are an ice attribute cultivator with the Ice Phoenix bloodline, if you attempt to absorb it directly, your body may not be able to withstand the intense cold! ¡°However, I possess a different kind of me that embodies the most extreme yang energy in existence! If I use my me to neutralize this extreme cold, you can safely refine the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice!¡± Feng Yuwan nced at Yang Chen, her beautiful eyes narrowing in thought. As a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator with over a thousand years of cultivation experience, she was well-versed in the yin and yang mutual assistance method. However, the yful smirk on Yang Chen¡¯s lips made her suspect his intentions. Despite her reservations, what he said made sense. The extreme cold within the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice was indeed something she struggled to withstand. Just touching it had nearly frozen the true energy in her body. Refining it could even threaten her life force. After a moment of hesitation, Feng Yuwan asked, ¡°How exactly do you propose using your me¡¯s extreme yang to assist? What do we need to do?¡± Yang Chen chuckled inwardly, sensing her growing interest. The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice was evidently a powerful temptation for Feng Yuwan. In the original story, this sacred lotus was supposed to be the catalyst for Long Tianyu, the destined son of fate, to break through his rtionship with his future mother-inw, Feng Yuwan. But now, it would be him¡ªthe father-inw¡ªwho would take that role. After all, asking Yu¡¯er to do such a thing wouldn¡¯t be appropriate. As the father-inw, it was rightfully his task. ¡°Senior Feng, it¡¯s actually quite simple!¡± he said. ¡°I just need to transfer my primordial fire into your body. You can then refine the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice while my me neutralizes its extreme cold.¡± ¡°But ¡­¡± Yang Chen paused, pretending to struggle with the next part. ¡°But what?¡± Feng Yuwan immediately pressed. ¡°But the primordial fire is extremely hot, and I¡¯m afraid your clothes won¡¯t be able to withstand it!¡± Yang Chen continued. ¡°And I¡¯ll need to make physical contact with you to properly control the me.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°What!?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes widened in shock as she bit her lip. Just as she had suspected, this rascal had ulterior motives. This was what he had been aiming for all along. ¡°Yang Chen, this is impossible! I won¡¯t do it!¡± she dered firmly. Being unclothed in front of this rascal? She, a dignified Soul Transformation Realm cultivator with a thousand years of cultivation, still had her pride. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, then we¡¯ll leave it at that,¡± Yang Chen replied, feigning helplessness. He made no attempt to force her, but added, ¡°However, the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It shouldn¡¯t be wasted.¡± ¡°Senior Feng, Xu Qingxuan, who apanied me here, has also awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline. Perhaps I could help her refine it instead? In the future, she might even be a powerful Void Refinement Realm expert!¡± ¡°Your maid?¡± Feng Yuwan asked coldly. ¡°It seems the two of you are quite close.¡± ¡°Hehe!¡± Yang Chen chuckled. ¡°She is my personal maid, so naturally, we are close!¡± A yful glint appeared in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes as he continued, ¡°Senior Feng, could it be that you¡¯re jealous?¡± ¡°You!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s face immediately turned icy. ¡°How dare you! Do you think I, who have cultivated for a thousand years, would be jealous of a child like you? Don¡¯t tter yourself!¡± ¡°A child?¡± Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. This woman was treading dangerous ground. Being called a ¡°child¡± was the greatest insult to him. ¡°Yang Chen,¡± Feng Yuwan said after a moment, her resolve wavering, ¡°is there truly no other way to refine the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice besides the method you mentioned?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s smile widened, knowing she couldn¡¯t resist the lure of the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice. Shaking his head, he replied, ¡°There isn¡¯t!¡± ¡°Senior Feng, if the primordial fire enters your body, do you really think your clothes will survive? Besides, we are already engaged. Why worry about such trivialities? We are cultivators, after all. You¡¯ve cultivated for a thousand years; surely, you shouldn¡¯t be concerned with such minor details. I don¡¯t mind, so why should you?¡± ¡°You ¡­ annoying rascal!¡± Feng Yuwan bit her lip and red at him fiercely. As a cultivator of the Soul Transformation Realm, the head of her n, and the lord of Ice and Snow Ancient City, she wanted to give up. Absorbing the Profound Ice Spirit Water could enhance her cultivation, possibly allowing her to reach the middle stage of the Soul Transformation Realm in a short time. But refining the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice could change her constitution, giving her a chance to step into the Void Refinement Realm in the future. Giving up just because it required being unclothed? The more she thought about it, the more regretful it seemed. Moreover, Yang Chen¡¯s words were true¡ªthey were already engaged, and the entire Northern Spirit Domain knew it. Intimacy was inevitable sooner orter. Forget it. After cultivating for a thousand years, what hasn¡¯t she experienced? And during this time, this rascal had taken advantage of her in various ways. Earlier, he had even pressed against her in that particr spot. This wasn¡¯t much different. A determined look shed across Feng Yuwan¡¯s face. She then looked at Yang Chen and said, ¡°Yang Chen, I will do as you said. But you must, absolutely must, turn around and keep your eyes closed!¡± ¡°Turn around? Keep my eyes closed?¡± Yang Chen chuckled. He knew this was Feng Yuwan¡¯s final bit of stubbornness, thest step she needed to take to convince herself. So he replied, ¡°Of course! Senior Feng, it¡¯s not that I enjoy taking advantage of others; this situation simply requires us to face each other naked. After all, I am a man of integrity!¡± ¡°Bah!¡± Feng Yuwan spat lightly. She didn¡¯t believe a word of this rascal¡¯s nonsense. He was clearly taking advantage of her while pretending to be noble. ¡°In that case, Senior Feng, let¡¯s begin!¡± Yang Chen said as he sat cross-legged by the shore and closed his eyes. A look of hesitation and indecision flickered across Feng Yuwan¡¯s jade-like face. But in the end, her slender fingers gently untied the belt around her waist. In an instant, a piece of snow-white skin was revealed, and theke reflected the vibrant colors of spring. Chapter 127 Chapter 127@@novelbin@@ ¡°Yang Chen, control your eyes, and don¡¯t you dare release your divine sense! Otherwise, I¡¯ll never forgive you!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice trembled as she hurriedly spoke, feeling Yang Chen¡¯s slightly heavy breathing behind her. Her neck and cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. At this moment, she waspletely exposed, her back facing Yang Chen. Yang Chen¡¯s hand was pressed against the smooth, jade-like skin of Feng Yuwan¡¯s back. The soft, delicate touch made his heart flutter, but he managed to maintain hisposure and said calmly, ¡°Senior Feng, don¡¯t worry. To channel my Primordial Fire into your body requires my full concentration. I can¡¯t afford any distractions, so I won¡¯t be paying attention to anything else.¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen activated his Green Lotus Heavenly me. The blue mes immediately flowed from his palm into Feng Yuwan¡¯s body. ¡°Ah!¡± A soft moan escaped Feng Yuwan¡¯s lips as she felt a surge of scorching heat enter her body, causing her meridians to burn with pain. She quickly calmed her mind and began to circte her true energy, wrapping it around the Primordial Fire inside her. Having a primordial fire enter her body was extremely dangerous. Even though she was a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, a loss of control could instantly reduce her body to ashes. Though she looked down on Yang Chen¡¯s character, she knew that at this moment, their interests were aligned. She still had significant use for this rascal, and he had no reason to harm her. ¡°Senior Feng, don¡¯t think about anything else. Focus on circting your true energy to control the Primordial Fire while you begin to refine and absorb the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice! Use the extreme yang of the me to neutralize the extreme cold of the lotus!¡± Yang Chen instructed from behind her, concerned that she might be distracted by the thought of him sneaking a peek. As his cultivation advanced, the power of his Green Lotus Heavenly me grew stronger. If it lost control inside her, it could destroy her physical body, which would be a great loss, especially since he still needed to siphon off Yu¡¯er¡¯s fate energy in the future. ¡°I understand!¡± Feng Yuwan snapped, her voice low and firm. A blue glow emanated from her body, and a phantom of a phoenix circled above her. The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice hovered over her head, casting down a chilling light that merged into her body. ¡°Hiss!¡± Some of the cold light spilled onto Yang Chen¡¯s arm, and he immediately felt an intense, bone-piercing cold that made him shiver. In front of him, Feng Yuwan was quickly covered in frost, her body trembling noticeably. For an ice-attribute Soul Transformation cultivator to be frozen like this, it was clear just how terrifying the cold was. At the same time, it also indicated how vast the energy within the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice was. If Feng Yuwan could fully refine it, not only would her aptitude improve, but her cultivation level would also rise significantly. ¡°So cold, so cold!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s entire body was encased in frost, and she felt a chill deep in her soul. Despite being an ice-attribute cultivator who had lived alongside ice and frost for thousands of years, she had never experienced cold like this, which seemed to freeze even her soul. If not for the Primordial Fire running through her body repeatedly to counteract the extreme cold, her body might have already turned into an ice sculpture. The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice above her head continued to release more and more chilling light, which grew increasingly thick and dark, like ink. Feng Yuwan¡¯s body could not withstand the extreme cold, and she began to stiffen. ¡°Yang ¡­ Yang Chen! More me! I need more of your me!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice trembled as she spoke, her desperation evident. More?Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved into a slight smile as he increased the output of his me. Blue mes surged from his body, pouring into Feng Yuwan. However, even with the increased me, Feng Yuwan¡¯s body continued to stiffen. The Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice was a treasure of heaven and earth, on par with the Primordial Fire. Now that it was being refined, the Primordial Fire alone wasn¡¯t enough to fully neutralize it. Yang Chen could clearly feel the blue light around Feng Yuwan growing dimmer, and the phoenix phantom above her was gradually fading. He immediately reduced the amount of me he was sending. If Feng Yuwan¡¯s aura weakened and she could no longer control her true energy, continuing to pour in so much me would overwhelm her. At that point, she might not freeze to death but instead be reduced to ashes by the me. However, reducing the me¡¯s output created a new problem. With less me, Feng Yuwan wouldn¡¯t be able to neutralize the extreme cold within her. ¡°This is tricky!¡± Yang Chen muttered to himself. He had underestimated the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice. After all, it had been growing in the Profound Ice Spirit Water for tens of thousands of years, absorbing its essence every day. The extreme cold it contained was incredibly potent. The true energy within Feng Yuwan¡¯s body was bing increasingly erratic, and her soul was clearly affected. Yang Chen closed his eyes, contemting a solution. Suddenly, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. When he opened his eyes, he saw Feng Yuwan¡¯s frost-covered face inches from his, her jade-like arms wrapped around his neck, and her body pressed tightly against his chest. It seemed that, in her confused state, Feng Yuwan¡¯s body had instinctively sought out the warmth of Yang Chen¡¯s. ¡°Hiss!¡± Yang Chen shivered, not from the cold but from the shock of her sudden proximity. Feng Yuwan, though still as beautiful as ever, was now as cold as a block of ancient ice. Even with his Primordial Fire, he could barely withstand it. ¡°Senior Feng!? Senior Feng!?¡± Yang Chen called out, trying to wake her, but she only burrowed her face deeper into his chest, her delicate arms tightening their grip around his neck. ¡°So cold, so cold ¡­ Save me, save me ¡­¡± Feng Yuwan murmured, her voice faint and filled with desperation. Yang Chen sighed inwardly. The proud and aloof city lord from earlier was now reduced to a helpless girl, clinging to him for warmth. She looked nothing like the dignified ruler she once was. Well, there was no other choice. Yang Chen resigned himself to the situation and sighed. ¡°Yu¡¯er, your father is about to truly fulfill his role as your father-inw.¡± With a slight smirk, Yang Chen began to circte the Dragon-Phoenix Technique that Xu Qingxuan had taught him. Feng Yuwan possessed the Ice Phoenix bloodline, and every time Yang Chen held her, he could feel his own blood stirring. After all, Feng Yuwan had cultivated for a thousand years and reached the Soul Transformation Realm, making her Ice Phoenix bloodline even purer and stronger, which naturally attracted the Divine Dragon bloodline within Yang Chen. Although the Dragon-Phoenix Technique wasn¡¯t very potent when used unterally, it could still help absorb the extreme cold within Feng Yuwan¡¯s body, alleviating her condition. ¡°Senior Feng, what I¡¯m about to do is all for the sake of saving you!¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°Besides, we¡¯re already engaged. It¡¯s my duty to take care of you.¡± Chapter 128 Chapter 128 By theke, the boundless spring scenery stretched far and wide. Despite the increasingly intense cold light emitted by the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, much of its extreme cold energy was absorbed into Yang Chen¡¯s body. The primordial fire of the Green Lotus Heavenly me burned fiercely, andbined with the scorching, masculine dragon blood within him, a bnce was struck between the cold and masculine energies. In the sky, the phantom images of a dragon and a phoenix intertwined, though the ice phoenix¡¯s image was dim and weak, firmly suppressed by the dragon¡¯s shadow. A series of loud phoenix cries, tinged with sorrow, echoed through the heavens and earth. The miraculous phenomenon of the dragon and phoenix harmonizingsted for a full five hours before gradually dissipating. [Ding! The host and Feng Yuwan have harmonized as dragon and phoenix, merging as water and milk, and have plundered 5000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Desitny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 5000 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice rang out. Yang Chen¡¯s expression froze momentarily. Five thousand viin points. Yu¡¯er, oh Yu¡¯er, your obsession is truly terrifying. This is your mother-inw, after all. You ignorant child. Fortunately, your father-inw was here; otherwise, wouldn¡¯t you be beyond redemption? At this moment, Feng Yuwan had regained her senses. Her eyshes fluttered lightly, her cheeks and neck flushed a deep red, but she did not open her eyes. Instead, she sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to refine the immense energy within her. Her aura steadily rose. In just a few days, Feng Yuwan had reached the Third Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm¡ªan achievement that would usually take centuries. Yet she had broken through two stages in just three days, and her aura continued to rise. Half a monthter, Feng Yuwan opened her beautiful eyes. A blue beam of light shot straight into the sky, apanied by the loud cry of a phoenix. Her long ck hair fluttered without wind, and the true energy around her surged, exuding a powerful pressure. Her aura had now reached the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. The difference between the Fourth and Third Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm was substantial, despite being only one stage apart. The fourth stage represented the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, a qualitative leap over the early stage. During this half-month, Yang Chen had also spent most of his time in seclusion. Although he absorbed a significant amount of energy from the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, its effect on him was limited. His current cultivation stage was just one step away from breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm; he could begin the breakthrough at any time if he wished. ¡°Congrattions, Senior Feng!¡± Yang Chen said with a smile as Feng Yuwan opened her eyes. ¡°In just over half a month, you¡¯ve advanced from the first stage to the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm! Such rapid cultivation speed makes even this junior feel a bit envious!¡± Feng Yuwan nced at him, snorted coldly, and then stood up. After reaching the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, her demeanor had be even more aloof and noble. Her tall, voluptuous figure was more graceful and alluring. Her previously messy ck hair was now neatly arranged into a bun, revealing her long, snow-white neck. Yang Chen¡¯s gaze swept over her, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He couldn¡¯t help but admit that Feng Yuwan now looked more like a city lord. Suddenly, Feng Yuwan shed towards him with a sword aura. The sword aura was as cold as snow, filling the air with chilling energy. The sharp sword intent seemed to cut through the small space of this world. Yang Chen didn¡¯t dodge but instead threw a punch. The extreme cold of the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice and the scorching dragon blood within him alternated between hot and cold, tempering his physique. His physical cultivation had now reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, just one step away from the Soul Transformation Realm. His punch, infused with the power of the dragon and the Green Lotus Heavenly me, shattered the sword aura into countless snowkes that scattered in all directions. ¡°Senior Feng, what is this about?¡± Yang Chen asked yfully, watching her with a leisurely gaze. ¡°You¡¯ve just broken through to the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, and you¡¯re already attacking this junior. Are you nning to burn bridges?¡± He wasn¡¯t worried that Feng Yuwan would actually intend to burn bridges. Even though she had reached the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, she still wasn¡¯t his match. After their previous merging, the ice phoenix bloodline in her body hadpletely submitted to the dragon bloodline. Under these circumstances, Feng Yuwan¡¯s strength at the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm would be reduced by at least half when facing him. Moreover, Yang Chen rather hoped that Feng Yuwan would try to burn bridges. That way, he could righteously teach this woman a lesson in how to behave. ¡°What did you just call me?¡± Feng Yuwan asked coldly, not striking again. ¡°What did I call you? Senior Feng, of course! Is there something wrong with that?¡± Yang Chen replied calmly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes grew even colder. ¡°Yang Chen, if you¡¯re just trying to satisfy your perverted hobbies, then stay away from me from now on! My body has already been given to you, and you¡¯ve gotten what you wanted! From now on, we¡¯re even!¡± She turned around, her back to him. ¡°Perverted hobbies?¡± Yang Chen pondered for a moment, but soon, he understood. The corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile. He realized why this woman had suddenly attacked him¡ªit was because of how he addressed her. Senior Feng. Heh. Women, it seems, are all the same. Yang Chen walked up behind Feng Yuwan, reached out his arms, and embraced her slender waist. Although her body felt cold to the touch, it was incredibly soft and stic. ¡°Yang Chen, you! Let go of me!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate body trembled as she spoke coldly. She struggled a bit, but without using her true energy. ¡°Is it because I called you Senior Feng that you¡¯re upset? Heh, then tell me, how should I address you? Wan¡¯er, is that okay?¡± Yang Chen whispered softly into her ear. His warm breath brushed against her skin, causing her paleplexion beneath her ck hair to flush red. Her tense body gradually softened, and finally, she stopped resisting, letting Yang Chen hold her in his arms. Chapter 129 Chapter 129 ¡°Scoundrel, scoundrel!¡± Feng Yuwany weakly in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, softly cursing him under her breath. But her voicecked any real anger, sounding more like a final act of defiance. Her jade-like face was flushed, and the cold, aloof demeanor she once had was now reced by a warm radiance. Yang Chen could feel her heart racing and her breathsing in hot and heavy. He was momentarily stunned by this transformation¡ªjust moments ago, she was the proud and distant city lord, but now, in his arms, she was shy and bashful. A single embrace and a gentle ¡°Wan¡¯er¡± had this overwhelming effect. Sigh. Yu¡¯er, oh Yu¡¯er, if you saw this, it would surely break your heart. ¡°Wan¡¯er,¡± Yang Chen whispered softly in her ear again. Feng Yuwan¡¯s body, now burning with heat, wentpletely limp in his arms. The once serenekeside now seemed to carry a hint of spring warmth. An hourter, Feng Yuwany nestled in Yang Chen¡¯s arms, her slender fingers tracing circles on his chest. ¡°Brother Chen,¡± she murmured, naturally changing the way she addressed him. Otherwise, their passionate encounter might not have ended so quickly. Yang Chen was very pleased with her new way of addressing him. After all, she was the obsession in Yu¡¯er¡¯s heart, and now she was calling him ¡°Brother Chen.¡± The thought alone excited him. If Yu¡¯er could hear this, heh heh, he would definitely be thrilled too. [Ding! Feng Yuwan haspletely surrendered, seizing 1000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1000 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice echoed in Yang Chen¡¯s mind. He raised an eyebrow slightly. Completely surrendered? And another 1000 VPs? Not bad, not bad at all. This one move alone had earned him 6000 viin points. It just showed how important Feng Yuwan, this mother-inw, was to Yu¡¯er. Sigh. Yu¡¯er, oh Yu¡¯er, what am I to do with you? How could your heart be so tainted? To think ¡­ Sigh. Thank goodness for your father. Otherwise, it would be unforgivable. Yang Chen¡¯s hand brushed gently across Feng Yuwan¡¯s smooth, jade-like face. She didn¡¯t resist at all¡ªjust as the system had said, she hadpletely surrendered her heart. This was a testament to Yang Chen¡¯s strength. ¡°Wan¡¯er, rx your soul. I have something good for you,¡± Yang Chen said as he touched her forehead lightly, transmitting the dual cultivation technique of the dragon and phoenix. Momentster, Feng Yuwan opened her beautiful eyes, her expression filled with excitement. Given her knowledge, she could immediately see that this technique was of an extremely high grade, perfectlypatible with the two of them, as if it were tailor-made. If they cultivated together, their strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds. But thinking about the nature of the technique, she couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at Yang Chen, a seductive charm immediately filling the air. Yang Chen was momentarily dazed. One must admit, when a frosty beauty like Feng Yuwan, who had cultivated for thousands of years, bes emotional, she was truly enchanting and infinitely alluring. ¡°Wan¡¯er, let¡¯s explore the mysteries of this technique together,¡± Yang Chen said slowly, his anticipation evident. Although that girl Xu Qingxuan often practiced this technique by his side, her cultivation level was too low, so it had little effect on him. But Feng Yuwan was different. She was now at the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, and the quality of her true energy was exceptionally high, even surpassing his by quite a bit. Moreover, after merging with the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, her Ice Phoenix bloodline had undergone a fundamental transformation. Now, rather than calling her human, it would be more urate to say she belonged to the Phoenix race. She could even transform into a phoenix and soar through the heavens. ¡°Now ¡­ right now? Well ¡­ alright then!¡± Faced with Yang Chen¡¯s fiery gaze, Feng Yuwan, who had initially wanted to refuse, finally gave in. Meanwhile, outside the small world, in the city lord¡¯s mansion, the Ancient Snow City¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion had now be the domain of the Feng family. Half of the Feng family had moved there. In a nine-story pavilion, Feng Qian Ning, simply dressed in a snow-white gauze dress, stood on the pavilion, gazing into the distance at the restricted area of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion, lost in thought. A gentle breeze blew, causing her dress to flutter lightly, revealing a section of her snow-white, jade-like calf. At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached. Long Tianyu pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°Tianyu, why didn¡¯t you knock beforeing in?¡± Noticing Long Tianyu behind her, Feng Qian Ning immediately turned around, her tone tinged with displeasure. Ever since Long Tianyu had seriously injured several core family membersst time, the family had be even more dissatisfied with him. Although the Holy Son had intervened to protect him, most of the family elders believed that the Holy Son wouldn¡¯t make a big fuss over a son-inw. Lately, many had been causing trouble for Long Tianyu. Though she only regarded him as an ordinary friend and didn¡¯t particrly like his current arrogant demeanor, the two were still nominally husband and wife. So, she had allowed Long Tianyu to move into her pavilion but made it clear that he could only stay on the lower two floors and shouldn¡¯te up to her floor unless necessary. ¡°Tianyu, I¡¯m sorry, I just forgot!¡± Long Tianyu quickly apologized, but a trace of disappointment shed in his eyes. He had done it on purpose, hiding his presence as much as possible before suddenly pushing open the door, hoping to catch her off guard and take advantage of the situation. But in the end, he saw nothing. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again! Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to move out!¡± Feng Qian Ning warned before asking, ¡°Is there something you need?¡± ¡°Qian Ning, I¡¯m your husband. Can¡¯t Ie to chat with you even if it¡¯s not important?¡± Long Tianyu stepped closer, a smile on his face, trying to ease the tension. However, Feng Qian Ning replied impatiently, ¡°I need to cultivate now. I don¡¯t have time to chat! If there¡¯s nothing else, please leave!¡±@@novelbin@@ Long Tianyu¡¯s face immediately darkened. No time? You need to cultivate? What cultivation were you doing just now? I came, and suddenly you need to cultivate. Clearly, you don¡¯t want to see me. How infuriating. Qian Ning, I¡¯m your husband, and I can cultivate too. You¡¯ve seen my powerful talent. Why are you still so cold towards me? Long Tianyu couldn¡¯t understand. At that moment, a pir of light suddenly appeared, and blue light illuminated the entire City Lord¡¯s Mansion. Then, a remarkable figure appeared in the sky. ¡°It¡¯s the Holy Son! He¡¯s out of the forbidden area!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s once impatient face immediately lit up with excitement, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Chen in the sky. Behind her, Long Tianyu, seeing her excitement, felt the veins on his forehead bulge. His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes shed with murderous intent. ¡°Damn it! I came to find you, and you said you were busy cultivating, wanting me to leave! But when you see Yang Chen, you get this excited! Bitch, bitch! Just like your mother, both bitches! Ah!¡± Long Tianyu gritted his teeth and growled softly. But his gaze lingered on the graceful, curvaceous figure standing beside Yang Chen. His mother-inw, after not seeing her for a month, seemed to have be even more alluring. Chapter 130 Chapter 130 City Lord¡¯s Mansion, Main Hall. All the elders and core disciples of the Feng family had gathered to pay their respects upon hearing that their family head had returned from the secret realm. Inside the Main Hall. Feng Yuwan stood gracefully in a moon-white pce robe that perfectly entuated her elegant and curvaceous figure. Her hair was styled into a high bun, revealing a slender, snow-white neck, and a faint blue phoenix mark adorned her forehead. An unmistakable aura of coldness and nobility emanated from her presence. The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Feng family could clearly feel the immense pressure radiating from Feng Yuwan, causing their hearts to tremble. This terrifying aura was something they had only ever sensed from the previous City Lord. Could it be that the family head had already reached the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm? But it has only been a month¡ªhow could this be possible? ¡°Family head, may I ask what your current realm is?¡± one of the elders couldn¡¯t help but inquire. Feng Yuwan did not conceal anything and calmly replied, ¡°I have stepped into the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. From now on, we fear no one in the Northern Spiritual Realm!¡± ¡°The Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm?!¡± The confirmation of Feng Yuwan¡¯s cultivation stage left the elders stunned before joy swiftly spread across their faces. Their excitement was evident, unable to be contained. Reaching the fourth stage signified entering the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, meaning they truly had nothing to fear in the Northern Spiritual Realm now. The Feng family had endured suppression from the Lan and Bai families for thousands of years, but now, they could finally hold their heads high. With the family head¡¯s advancement, Ice and Snow City would be firmly under their control, and no one in the Northern Spiritual Realm would dare underestimate Feng family cultivators again! ¡°We congratte the family head!¡± The group of elders bowed in unison, followed by a sea of disciples kneeling behind them. Whether elder or disciple, everyone¡¯s face was filled with pride and exhration. Witnessing this scene, a subtle smile appeared on Feng Yuwan¡¯s lips, and a glint of satisfaction shed in her eyes. For years, her greatest aspiration had been to lead her family to prominence, and now, she had finally achieved it. With her current cultivation, she could dominate an entire region. Thinking of this, she couldn¡¯t help but nce at Yang Chen, meeting his yful gaze directly. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as memories of their passionate moments by thekeside made her heart race. However, she quicklyposed herself, chastising internally, Feng Yuwan, this is a solemn asion. How can you let such thoughts distract you? Ahem! Feng Yuwan cleared her throat softly, suppressing her stray thoughts before continuing, ¡°Great Elder, here are two hundred jars of Profound Ice Spiritual Water. Distribute them ordingly.¡± With a graceful wave of her sleeve, two hundred jars materialized in the hall, exuding a bone-chilling cold. She and Yang Chen had equally divided an entireke¡¯s worth of Profound Ice Spiritual Water, and these jars represented only a small portion of their share. ¡°Profound Ice Spiritual Water?!¡± Sensing the rapidly filling icy spiritual energy in the hall, the members of the Feng family were astounded. For ice-attribute cultivators, especially those of Ice and Snow City who possessed the Ice Phoenix bloodline, Profound Ice Spiritual Water was immensely beneficial, capable of directly enhancing one¡¯s cultivation. Typically, obtaining even a small vial required exorbitant prices and immense effort, yet now, there were two hundred entire jars present. This bounty was enough to elevate the strength of every Feng family cultivator by a significant margin. Elsewhere in the Main Hall. Long Tianyu had apanied Feng Qian Ning to the gathering. Although few acknowledged his presence, he couldn¡¯t resist following upon noticing how his mother-inw had be even more enchanting. Since entering the hall, his gaze had been fixated on Feng Yuwan, roaming unabashedly over her graceful and alluring figure. The sight of the two hundred jars of Profound Ice Spiritual Water also widened his eyes in surprise. Given that Profound Ice Spiritual Water formed under extremely rare and harsh conditions, even in the vast Central Continent, it was considered priceless. Yet here, such an abundance indicated the extraordinary nature of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion¡¯s forbidden area. A pang of regret surfaced in Long Tianyu¡¯s heart for not having essed it himself, but his attention quickly returned to Feng Yuwan, his eyes burning with desire. Compared to the somewhat youthful Feng Qian Ning beside him, Feng Yuwan resembled a perfectly ripe peach, irresistibly tempting. Her enhanced aura of coldness and nobility only added to her allure, making Long Tianyu¡¯s gaze even more brazen and heated. Amidst the focus on the main proceedings, no one noticed his inappropriate stare¡ªnot even Feng Yuwan herself. However, Yang Chen had been observing Long Tianyu all along. As a viin, he couldn¡¯t ignore the so-called ¡°Son of Destiny,¡± especially when that person was his own son-inw. Noting Long Tianyu¡¯s fervent gaze, a subtle smirk formed on Yang Chen¡¯s lips. He could understand the allure; after all, Feng Yuwan had indeed be more captivating, a change attributable to him as her father-inw. Heh. At that moment, having concluded her announcements, Feng Yuwan followed Yang Chen¡¯s line of sight and noticed Long Tianyu lurking in a corner, his gaze overtly audacious. A surge of anger instantly red within her. ¡°How dare you!¡± she snapped, her voice icy. ¡°Long Tianyu, you¡¯re merely a son-inw. Who permitted you to be here?¡± An overwhelming pressure from her Fourth Stage Soul Transformation cultivation swept across the hall, directly bearing down on Long Tianyu. A phantom image of a Crimson Dragon emerged around him in defense, but with Feng Yuwan¡¯s enhanced power and fortified Ice Phoenix bloodline, the dragon phantom shattered almost instantly under her might. Bang! Without the dragon¡¯s protection, Long Tianyu, with only his Foundation Establishment cultivation, stood no chance. He was sent crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Useless!¡± Feng Yuwan dered coldly, her expression filled with disdain. For a mere son-inw to gaze at her so insolently was beyond tolerable. If not for his nominal marriage to Qian Ning and her position as his mother-inw, she would have ended his life on the spot. Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes remained fixed on Feng Yuwan and Yang Chen atop the dais. Feng Yuwan¡¯s face was stern and aloof, while Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved into a mocking, contemptuous smile. ¡°Ah! Damn you both!¡± Long Tianyu seethed internally, his eyes bloodshot with rage. ¡°Feng Yuwan, you witch! Yang Chen can hold you as he pleases, but I can¡¯t even look? Witch! Both of you!¡± [Ding! Feng Yuwan has severely injured Long Tianyu, causing his mental state to copse. 1,000 points of Providence Luck has been plundered from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1,000VPs!] @@novelbin@@ The system¡¯s notification echoed, and Yang Chen¡¯s smirk deepened. Oh, Yu¡¯er, your mother-inw¡¯s lesson was well-deserved. Looking at her with such brazen eyes¡ªtruly disrespectful. Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Inside the Main Hall, all eyes turned to Long Tianyu, but their gazes were filled with mockery. A mere son-inw dared to appear in such a ce? Did he not realize where he was? This was a gathering for the core disciples of the younger generation, yet here he was, shamelessly intruding. ¡°Yunhai, throw this trash out!¡± Feng Yuwanmanded in a cold, unfeeling tone, her jade-like face exuding icy arrogance. She looked at Long Tianyu as if he were nothing more than a stray dog. Feng Yunhai, who had refined a drop of Yang Chen¡¯s blood essence and awakened his Ice Phoenix bloodline, had advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm. His strength had multiplied several times over. At hermand, he strode over to Long Tianyu. As a loyalckey to the viin, he had always harbored resentment toward Long Tianyu. Thest time, Long Tianyu had humiliated him using some mysterious power, causing him to lose face¡ªa grudge he had never let go. Seeing Long Tianyu struggling to rise, Feng Yunhai didn¡¯t hesitate. He stomped down hard on his head. Bang! The stompnded with full force, with no intention of holding back, as if he didn¡¯t care if it killed him. Long Tianyu¡¯s head mmed into the floor with a resounding impact. ¡°Damn you!¡± Long Tianyu seethed, feeling the immense humiliation of a foot pressed against his face. He roared in a hoarse voice, ¡°Feng Yunhai, I swear I¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Oh, a mere son-inw dares to speak disrespectfully to me?¡± Feng Yunhai¡¯s eyes turned cold. Having recently aligned himself with the Holy Son, he had risen to be a leader among the younger generation of the Feng family. Even some elders now sought to curry favor with him. But now, this lowly son-inw had the audacity to insult him, igniting a furious rage within him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om He lifted his foot again. Bang! Bang! He stomped twice more on Long Tianyu¡¯s head, each blow shattering the floor beneath him. Long Tianyu¡¯s face was a mess of blood, and even his skull showed signs of being crushed. ¡°Ah!¡± Long Tianyu growled, his voice filled with desperation. ¡°Feng Yunhai, just you wait! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± At this point, Feng Qian Ning, who had been watching silently, could no longer stand by. Despite her growing irritation with Long Tianyu in recent times, he was still her husband in name. ¡°Cousin Yunhai, please show some mercy!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s voice cut through the tension. Feng Yunhai immediately paused. He could disregard others, but not Feng Qian Ning. Although she wasn¡¯t his aunt¡¯s biological daughter, she was still her adopted daughter, making her closer to the family than he was. Moreover, there was always the possibility that the Holy Son might be interested in her. If the Holy Son wanted both women, offending Feng Qian Ning would be thest thing Feng Yunhai wanted to do. ¡°Qian Ning, this son-inw dared to offend our aunt. I was just teaching him a lesson on her behalf. You¡¯re not feeling sorry for him, are you?¡± Feng Yunhai said with a smile. Feng Qian Ning¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°Cousin Yunhai, please stop joking around. Tianyu¡¯s presence here is indeed inappropriate, and I will take him out immediately. Please let him go.¡± Seeing Feng Qian Ning¡¯s displeasure, Feng Yunhai reluctantly lifted his foot off Long Tianyu. ¡°Tianyu, are you alright?¡± Feng Qian Ning asked as she helped him up. Long Tianyu shot a hateful re at Feng Yunhai. This bastard had once again humiliated him, stomping on him in front of Qian Ning, making him suffer unbearable shame. Damn it. Just wait. It won¡¯t be long before I kill you, and that bastard Yang Chen as well. As for that bitch Feng Yuwan, I¡¯ll make sure to conquer her thoroughly. [Ding! Long Tianyu was stomped by Feng Yunhai, causing his mental state to suffer. Plundering 500 points of his Providence Luck. The host has gained 500 VPs!] The system¡¯s voice echoed in Yang Chen¡¯s mind, making him pause for a moment. This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Feng Yunhai, that boy, is doing well. He¡¯s proven to be a worthyckey, making all my efforts in cultivating him worthwhile. ¡°Wait!¡± At that moment, Feng Yuwan spoke coldly. ¡°Long Tianyu, from today onward, your marriage to Qian Ning is annulled! You are no longer a son-inw of the Feng family!¡± Her words left both Long Tianyu and Feng Qian Ning stunned. The hall instantly buzzed with discussion. In the Feng family, hardly anyone had ever approved of Long Tianyu¡¯s marriage to Feng Qian Ning. After all, Feng Qian Ning had awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline and was destined to enter the Soul Transformation Realm in the future. Even if she were to marry, it should be to a core disciple of the family or perhaps be a concubine of someone as prestigious as the Holy Son. The only reason Long Tianyu had be a son-inw was due to the dying wish of Feng Qian Ning¡¯s grandfather. Because of this, almost all of the younger generation in the Feng family had targeted Long Tianyu. But now, the family head had finally decided to annul their marriage. Moreover, with the family head now allied with the Holy Son, it was likely that the Holy Son wasn¡¯t interested in Qian Ning anymore. After all, he wouldn¡¯t want both women, would he? With this, the young disciples of the Feng family were suddenly excited. If they could win over Qian Ning, they would be the sons-inw of the Holy Son in the future, leading to boundless prospects. ¡°Wise decision, Family Head! Long Tianyu, as a son-inw, has been arrogant and disrespectful, even harming core disciples of the family! The marriage with Miss Qian Ning should have been annulled long ago!¡± An elder of the Feng family spoke up. ¡°Indeed, Elder Yufeng is right!¡± ¡°This arrogant fool should have been expelled from the Feng family long ago!¡± ¡°A useless son-inw, no better than a dog¡ªhow could he ever be worthy of Miss Qian Ning?¡± Other elders quickly chimed in. At this moment, Long Tianyu¡¯s face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly. If he had the power, he would have killed everyone in the hall, sparing only Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning. A bunch of bastards. They all deserve to die. Damn it. Long Tianyu gritted his teeth, his heart seething with hatred. Chapter 132 Chapter 132 ¡°Since all the elders agree, the marriage is hereby annulled!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s cold and indifferent voice resonated through the main hall. ¡°From today onward, Long Tianyu is expelled from the Feng family. He is no longer our son-inw!¡± Long Tianyu, despite his arrogance and disdain for the Feng family, could not ept the annulment of his marriage to Feng Qian Ning. She was the woman he had long desired, and Feng Yuwan, his mother-inw, had be an obsession and a dream in his heart. The annulment would shatter that dream, leaving him bereft of meaning even if he seeded in other endeavorster. In desperation, Long Tianyu quickly protested, ¡°Mother-inw, Qian Ning and I have been married for over ten years. It was my grandfather¡¯s dying wish. How can it be annulled so easily? Besides, such a decision requires both Qian Ning¡¯s and my consent. Qian Ning, do you agree?¡± Feng Yuwan turned to Feng Qian Ning, who had long wanted to annul her marriage to the worthless Long Tianyu. She had dyed this decision out of concern that after the annulment, Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou¡ªthose old scoundrels¡ªwould seize the opportunity to marry Qian Ning into their families. But now, those scoundrels were dead, and Feng Yuwan had advanced to the Fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. No one in Ice and Snow City could threaten her anymore. It was time to rid herself of this useless son-inw, out of sight and out of mind. ¡°Mother, I ¡­¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s beautiful face showed hesitation. She had once felt pity for Long Tianyu, which was why she had maintained their nominal marriage. After all, it was in name only, with no real substance, and it helped fend off many unwanted suitors. But now, Long Tianyu¡¯s recent behavior had deeply disappointed her. And then there was the Holy Son ¡­ The image of Yang Chen¡¯s handsome and ethereal figure shed in her mind. Feng Qian Ning couldn¡¯t help but nce at him on the tform, her eyes filled with a hint of infatuation. If she hadn¡¯t married Long Tianyu back then, perhaps the Holy Son would have chosen her. After all, they had once shared a pleasant conversation at a banquet. But now ¡­ the Holy Son was betrothed to her mother. Sigh.@@novelbin@@ Feng Qian Ning sighed, her tone resigned. ¡°I will leave everything to my mother¡¯s decision.¡± ¡°You, Qian Ning!¡± Long Tianyu panicked at her response. In the past, when his mother-inw had suggested annulling their marriage, Qian Ning had always refused. Why was it different today? ¡°I don¡¯t agree!¡± Long Tianyu dered immediately. After enduring countless humiliations as a son-inw in the Feng family for over ten years¡ªwithout even holding Feng Qian Ning¡¯s hand¡ªthey now wanted to annul the marriage and expel him from the family? Impossible! ¡°How dare you!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice was sharp. ¡°A mere son-inw, and you think you have the right to disagree?¡± With a swift motion of her jade-like hand, she sent a palm of true energy pping across Long Tianyu¡¯s face. p! The p didn¡¯t send him flying, but itnded squarely on his face with a sharp, crisp sound. Blood spurted from Long Tianyu¡¯s mouth, and several teeth were knocked loose. ¡°Serves him right!¡± sneered the surrounding elders and disciples of the Feng family. ¡°The family head has spoken, yet a son-inw dares to refuse! Hmph, if it were up to me, I would have pped him to death! The family head is too merciful!¡± ¡°Damn it! Feng Yuwan, you wretch! Is hitting me all you know how to do?¡± Long Tianyu seethed with rage inside. ¡°Long Tianyu,¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice was icy as she looked down at him, her beautiful eyes shing with murderous intent, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two options now. Either agree to the annulment, or die. The choice is yours.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t agree!¡± Long Tianyu clenched his fists tightly, spitting out each word with determination. Even though he could feel the killing intent radiating from Feng Yuwan, he absolutely could not agree to annul his marriage to Feng Qian Ning. ¡°Courting death!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s jade-like face turned frosty as she raised her hand and struck. A blue palm print shot toward Long Tianyu, powerful enough to kill not just a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, but even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn¡¯t survive it. However, just as the palm print was about tond, a loud dragon¡¯s roar echoed through the hall. Roar! The dragon¡¯s roar carried a powerful, imposing aura. A massive Red Dragon materialized from Long Tianyu¡¯s body. This time, it wasn¡¯t just a phantom; it was nearly a solid Red Dragon. Feng Yuwan¡¯s true energy palm print was shattered by the sudden appearance of the dragon. The Red Dragon hovered above the hall, its overwhelming aura causing many Feng family cultivators to tremble in fear. ¡°A nearly solid Red Dragon!¡± someone eximed. ¡°Is that a true dragon? Who would have thought this worthless son-inw, Long Tianyu, had such a hidden trump card! No wonder he dared to defy the family head!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s face was still covered in blood, his appearance pitiful, but a trace of arrogance appeared in his eyes. This was his ultimate trump card. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had recentlymunicated with the Dragon Blood Jade, awakening the true soul of the Red Dragon within it. However, the true soul did not serve him; it would only appear when he faced a life-threatening situation, preventing his death. Feng Yuwan¡¯s earlier strike could have killed him a hundred times over. Thus, the Red Dragon had appeared, shielding him from certain death. As the legacy treasure of the Red Dragon n, the Dragon Blood Jade was incredibly mysterious. Even with Feng Yuwan¡¯s cultivation at the Fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, killing him today would be a daunting task. ¡°Mother-inw, it seems that today you won¡¯t be able to kill me!¡± Long Tianyu straightened up, speaking with calm defiance. ¡°Qian Ning and I have been married for over ten years. Why must you insist on annulling our marriage?¡± He looked around the hall, meeting the shocked gazes of everyone present. When he saw the look of surprise on Feng Qian Ning¡¯s face, he felt a surge of pride. Qian Ning must be utterly shocked now. After all, a Fourth stage Soul Transformation cultivator stood at the pinnacle of the Northern Spiritual Realm, yet now, that formidable force had been stopped by the true soul of the Red Dragon within him. Heh. What a pity. The true soul of the Red Dragon could only protect him; it couldn¡¯t be used to attack. Otherwise, even if he couldn¡¯t go on a killing spree today, he would at least start by killing Feng Yunhai to vent his anger. Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes glinted with malice as he nced at Feng Yunhai, who couldn¡¯t help but take two steps back. The sight of the Red Dragon in the hall had truly terrified him. ¡°Hmph! Worthless!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes filled with disdain. A weakling like him was destined to be someone that couldn¡¯tpare to him. Chapter 133 Chapter 133 At this moment, Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression flickered as she looked at the red dragon that had suddenly appeared in the hall. She hadn¡¯t expected this worthless son-inw, Long Tianyu, to have such a trump card. Even though she hadn¡¯t used her full strength in that earlier strike, it still contained fifty percent of her power. It was enough to kill a half-step Soul Transformation cultivator with a single blow, but it had been blocked. This red dragon, though not entirely real, was as close to solid as one could get. Its aura was so intimidating that even she felt a bit unsettled. The phoenix mark on her forehead sensed this aura and began to glow with an icy blue light. ¡°Mother-inw, although your Feng family possesses the Ice Phoenix bloodline, it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the bloodline has be very diluted! In the Northern Spiritual Domain, you may still reign supreme, but in the Central Continent, heh! The Central Continent is vast. In the Central Continent, even cultivators beyond the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm are numerous and hardly considered the strongest!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s tone brimmed with arrogance. Opportunities to boast in front of his cold and noble mother-inw were rare, but these words made Feng Yuwan¡¯s jade-like fists clench tightly, her eyes growing colder. ¡°Long Tianyu, are you threatening me? Do you really believe I can¡¯t kill you?¡± Feng Yuwan felt her authority being challenged. As the City Lord of Ice and Snow City and a cultivator who had broken through to the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, her dignity was something she would not allow anyone to question. True energy surged from Feng Yuwan¡¯s body, filling the entire hall with an overwhelming chill. The Ice Phoenix bloodline within her was fully awakened. After refining the Holy Ice Lotus, her Ice Phoenix bloodline had undergone a profound transformation. Most of her blood had been converted into Ice Phoenix blood, and when fully activated, she could even transform into a physical phoenix. This was her intention now. She refused to believe that her Ice Phoenix bloodline was inferior to the red dragon standing before her. But just as she was about to transform into her phoenix form, a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. ¡°Wan¡¯er, there¡¯s no need for this,¡± Yang Chen whispered softly into her ear. His distinctive voice, coupled with the familiar way he addressed her, caused Feng Yuwan¡¯s icy, resolute body to suddenly soften. Yang Chen¡¯s presence brought a calming influence, and Feng Yuwan¡¯s anger began to subside. The overwhelming chill that filled the hall slowly dissipated, and the intense pressure from the Ice Phoenix bloodline receded. Her mind cleared, and she realized the extent of her reaction. ¡°Yang Chen ¡­¡± Feng Yuwan murmured, feeling the tension drain from her body. His words had a soothing effect, reminding her of the power she wielded and the control she needed to maintain. Long Tianyu, watching this unfold, felt a surge of frustration. His one chance to see Feng Yuwan unleash her full strength was slipping away. Yet, there was nothing he could do. Yang Chen¡¯s mere presence seemed tomand respect, even from someone as powerful as Feng Yuwan. ¡°Mother-inw, it seems your esteemed self is too easily swayed,¡± Long Tianyu sneered, trying to provoke her once more. But Feng Yuwan didn¡¯t rise to the bait. Instead, she took a deep breath and focused her gaze on him, her expression icy but calm. ¡°Long Tianyu, you have no idea what forces you¡¯re meddling with,¡± she said coldly. ¡°You may have survived today, but do not mistake this for leniency. Your time is running out.¡± With those words, Feng Yuwan turned away, her authority reasserted, while Yang Chen¡¯s hand lingered lightly on her shoulder, grounding her. Long Tianyu¡¯s arrogant facade faltered as he realized that his attempts to dominate the situation had failed. The presence of Yang Chen had not only defused the immediate conflict but had also left Long Tianyu feeling more vulnerable than before. Despite the true soul of the Red dragon, he was painfully aware that his position was tenuous. Yang Chen¡¯s quiet strength was undeniable, and his influence over Feng Yuwan was something Long Tianyu could neither understand nor counter. As the red dragon¡¯s form gradually faded from the hall, Long Tianyu stood there, his bravado ebbing away, leaving behind only the stark realization of how outmatched he truly was. *** ¡°Chen, Brother Chen! Why?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s voice was soft, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. Yang Chen didn¡¯t respond. His gaze fixed on Long Tianyu¡¯s chest, and a trace of golden light appeared in his pupils. Suddenly, through Long Tianyu¡¯s clothing and flesh, a dragon-shaped jade pendant gradually materialized before his eyes. The dragon-shaped jade pendant hovered beside Long Tianyu¡¯s heart, emitting a Red glow that nourished it. It seems that Yu¡¯er¡¯s reliance all this time has been this dragon-shaped jade pendant. The red dragon in the great hall must have also originated from this jade pendant. Heh. If I take it away, Yu¡¯er will be heartbroken. ¡°Yu¡¯er, don¡¯t be rude! Disrespecting your mother-inw is the same as disrespecting me, your father! Apologize to your mother-inw immediately, and make that red dragon disappear. If you do, I won¡¯t hold you ountable!¡± Yang Chen sped his hands behind his back, looking down at Long Tianyu with an air of authority. His gaze carried reproach, as though he truly were Long Tianyu¡¯s father. ¡°Father? Yang Chen, you bastard!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes turned red at Yang Chen¡¯s self-promation. This bastard is going too far. Just wait, it won¡¯t be long before you meet your end. Grinding his teeth, Long Tianyu forced down his anger and said coldly: ¡°The true soul of the Red Dragon is my protective dragon soul. It appears when I¡¯m fatally attacked. I have no control over whether it disappears or not! If any of you feel your bloodline being suppressed and ufortable, you¡¯re wee to leave. Humph!¡± Long Tianyu looked around at the Feng family cultivators who were struggling against the pressure from the Red Dragon¡¯s true soul, feeling quite satisfied with himself. However, this was exactly what Yang Chen wanted. ¡°Yu¡¯er, stop being childish! You summoned this Red Dragon, so how can you not be able to retract it? Can¡¯t you see that the Feng family members here are struggling to endure its pressure? There are many Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators here. If their Dao hearts are affected, it could cause serious problems! Listen to me, as your father, and put away the Red Dragon immediately! As for your marriage with Qian Ning, I can make the decision and leave it up to you two!¡± Yang Chen adopted the posture of a strict father,manding Long Tianyu from above. ¡°Bastard! I swear I¡¯ll tear you apart!¡± Long Tianyu was seething with rage. He could no longer hold it in. ¡°Yang Chen, stop taking advantage of me, damn it! The Red Dragon¡¯s true soul¡ªI said I can¡¯t retract it, and I can¡¯t! Aren¡¯t you the Holy Son of Xuantian? Why don¡¯t you try?¡± Long Tianyu red angrily at Yang Chen. The Red Dragon¡¯s true soul could withstand even an attack from Feng Yuwan, who was at the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. It could also resist Yang Chen. After all, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t kill him anyway. His father was arriving soon. There was no need to fear this bastard anymore. ¡°Long Tianyu, how dare you!¡± Seeing that Long Tianyu dared to be disrespectful towards Yang Chen, a group of elders from the Feng family red at him. Feng Yuwan¡¯s true energy surged, and her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent. She was about to make a move. But Yang Chen stopped her. Looking at Long Tianyu with amusement, he said, ¡°Yu¡¯er, since you are so stubborn, your father will no longer persuade you with kind words! Sigh, the power of an external object has clouded your eyes! As your elder, I must punish you!¡± As Yang Chen finished his words, a golden dragon shadow emerged behind him. An overwhelming dragon might suddenly filled the entire hall. The pressure from the Red Dragon True Soul just now had merely made people¡¯s hearts tremble. But at this moment, the vast dragon might emanating from Yang Chen made all the Feng family cultivators in the hall kneel directly on the ground. Yang Chen¡¯s current physique was no less than that of a true dragon, and even surpassed it. Although it was a human body, at this moment, it was like a pure-blooded true dragon. Even Long Tianyu knelt at this moment. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart. The True Dragon bloodline within him faced this deep, innate suppression, leaving only fear. His legs couldn¡¯t stop trembling. He found it hard to stand. ¡°Ah!¡± Long Tianyu roared lowly, his eyes bloodshot. To be forced to kneel under Yang Chen¡¯s pressure was an absolute humiliation to him. However, no matter how much he roared, he could not stand at all. Yang Chen¡¯s eyes were golden, gazing at the Red Dragon True Soul hovering above the hall. ¡°Descend!¡± Just that simple word made the Red Dragon True Soul, which had been wantonly releasing dragon might, fall heavily to the ground. Its eyes, asrge as a water jar, were filled with fear. Next, the dragon body turned into streaks of Red light and converged into Long Tianyu¡¯s chest. ¡°How is this possible!?¡± Long Tianyu knelt on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief. The Red Dragon True Soul had been nurtured by countless generations of their Red Dragon family for hundreds of thousands of years, using the life essence of countless sages, before it was born within the Dragon Blood Jade. But now, it was dispersed by a single word from Yang Chen? This? This is impossible! Before Long Tianyu could understand, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The Dragon Blood Jade, which had been residing near his heart, seemed ready to break out of his body. This? Long Tianyu suddenly raised his head. He saw Yang Chen reaching his hand towards him. With a firm grasp, a burst of fresh blood sttered from his chest. Then, a dragon-shaped jade pendant emitting a Red glow flew out of his body. It flew directly towards Yang Chen. ¡°No! Give it back to me!¡± Long Tianyu let out a hoarse roar. The Dragon Blood Jade was his greatest reliance. It was also the ancestral treasure of their Red Dragon family. He couldn¡¯t lose it! But at this moment, he had no way to stop it. The dragon-shaped jade pendant was forcibly stripped from Long Tianyu¡¯s body by Yang Chen. It trembled violently in his hand, trying to escape. However, Yang Chen retracted the pressure that had filled the hall, focusing it all on the dragon-shaped jade pendant. Gradually, the jade pendant calmed down. ¡°Yu¡¯er, you have repeatedly injured others, and even unleashed that Red dragon, relying on this dragon-shaped jade pendant! There is a dragon soul within this object that you cannot control! Your father will safeguard it for now. Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I will return it to you!¡± Yang Chen spoke indifferently, putting the dragon-shaped jade pendant away. ¡°Yang Chen, you bastard! I swear I will tear you to pieces!¡± Long Tianyu roared, his eyes almost bleeding. That was the ancestral treasure that their Red Dragon family had passed down for hundreds of thousands of years!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Safeguard it for him? This bastard was tantly robbing it! Chapter 134 Chapter 134 [Ding! The host has forcibly seized the Dragon Blood Jade from Long Tianyu, causing his mental state to copse and suffer significant losses. 2,000 points of Providence Luck has been plundered from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 2,000 VPs!] [Ding! Friendly reminder: Long Tianyu now has 5,000 points remaining!] ¡°Hmm?¡± Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Only 5,000 points left?¡± It seems that after continuously exploiting Yu¡¯er, his Providence Luck points are finally running low. But that¡¯s not a problem. Seeing Yu¡¯er in such agony, it¡¯s actually good that his Providence Luck are nearly drained. Once they¡¯re gone, he can finally die. At that point, it would be a relief. ¡°Haha.¡± ¡°Yang Chen, the Dragon Blood Jade is the heirloom treasure of my Red Dragon n! I don¡¯t need you to hold onto it for me! Give it back, right now¡ª¡± Long Tianyu roared. But before he could finish, arge foot stomped down on his face. At this moment, Feng Yunhai finally understood. The intimidating aura that Long Tianyu had been emitting was entirely due to that dragon-shaped jade pendant. Now that His Highness the Holy Son had taken it, Long Tianyu had reverted to being a mere Foundation Establishment weakling. Earlier, Long Tianyu¡¯s mere nce had frightened Feng Yunhai, leaving a significant psychological scar. Only by thoroughly humiliating Long Tianyu could he remove that lingering fear. ¡°Ah! Feng Yunhai, I¡¯ll kill you! You bastard!¡± Long Tianyu screamed hoarsely as Feng Yunhai stomped on him again, his voice shrill and filled with rage. But no matter how much he raged, Feng Yunhai¡¯s foot pressed down on him like a small mountain, making it impossible for him to move even an inch. Without the Dragon Blood Jade, Long Tianyu was truly just an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even with the blood of a true dragon, his low cultivation stage rendered him no different from an ant in front of Feng Yunhai, who was at the mid-Golden Core Realm. ¡°Still dare to curse me! Today, I¡¯ll teach you a good lesson! You¡¯re nothing but a live-in son-inw, yet you dare to be arrogant like a dog!¡± Bang! Bang! Feng Yunhai stomped down heavily a few more times. Blood poured from Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes and nostrils, leaving him in a pitiful state. The members of the Feng family nearby all sneered at the sight. Long Tianyu¡¯s arrogant demeanor from earlier was still fresh in their memories. Even Feng Qian Ning did not plead for him this time, merely sighing and turning her head away, unwilling to look at him anymore. ¡°Yunhai, stop now and let Yu¡¯er go!¡± After Feng Yunhai had vented his anger, Yang Chen spoke up to stop him. He was genuinely concerned that thisckey might stomp Long Tianyu to death. After all, Long Tianyu still had 5,000 points of Providence Luck remaining. ¡°Even if Yu¡¯er has made mistakes, he is still Qian Ning¡¯s husband! Their marriage should be resolved between them! No one else should interfere!¡± ¡°Yes, Your Highness!¡± Feng Yunhai immediately stopped and released Long Tianyu. But by now, Long Tianyu was already on the verge of death under his feet. Despite enduring such great humiliation, his Providence Luck didn¡¯t decrease. Yang Chen found this surprising. It seemed that Yu¡¯er¡¯s Providence Luck had diminished to the point where ordinary humiliation no longer had any effect. But that didn¡¯t matter. Yang Chen had plenty of methods to plunder Providence Luck. Having no interest in the Feng family affairs unfolding in the hall, Yang Chen returned to his residence to begin his seclusion and cultivation. This time, in the secret realm, he had absorbed arge amount of energy from the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice within Feng Yuwan, pushing his cultivation to the limit of the Nascent Soul Realm. It was time to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm. ¡°Master!¡± A shadow flickered, and the withered figure of Yan Jiu appeared, kneeling on one knee before Yang Chen. After absorbing the Nascent Souls of Lan Qingshan and Bai Zhou, Yan Jiu hadpletely broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm. However, despite this advancement, he remained as respectful as ever before his master, Yang Chen. After all, even Lan Qingshan, who was at the Third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, was no match for Yang Chen. Let alone him. Moreover, following Yang Chen during this period had brought Yan Jiu endless benefits. Originally, with his talent, it was uncertain whether he could ever break through to the Soul Transformation Realm in his lifetime. But since following his master, his cultivation had advanced rapidly. Even if Yang Chen offered him freedom now, Yan Jiu wouldn¡¯t want to leave. With a master of such immense talent, the future achievements were unimaginable. If he could stay by Yang Chen¡¯s side, he might one day be a powerful cultivator himself. ¡°Yan Jiu, I¡¯m going into seclusion for a while! You¡¯ll guard me! No matter who it is, don¡¯t allow them to disturb me!¡± ¡°Yes, Master, you can rest assured!¡± Yan Jiu bowed deeply before once again transforming into a shadow and disappearing into the room. Yang Chen had already plundered 25,000 Providence Luck from Long Tianyu. Including the points he had umted earlier, he now had over 40,000 VPs. His divine soul sank into his mind, where the nine-colored Poria was radiating a brilliant light, filling the entire soul pce. Even the power of his divine soul now carried the nine different energy attributes from the nine-colored Poria. This was an absolute qualitative change. Once he condensed his Nascent Soul, it would certainly be extraordinary. Seven days passed. Yang Chen spent 5,000 viin points and sessfully condensed his Nascent Soul. In his soul pce, a glowing shadow identical to Yang Chen appeared. However, unlike Yang Chen, this Nascent Soul was surrounded by nine-colored lightning. It looked mysterious and extraordinary. Boom! @@novelbin@@ At that moment, thunder suddenly roared in the sky. Yang Chen was not surprised. Breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm required passing the lightning tribtion. If his Nascent Soul could withstand the baptism of the lightning tribtion, he would officially step into the Soul Transformation Realm. If it couldn¡¯t, then the Nascent Soul would be destroyed, leading to his death and the end of his cultivation path. At this time, dark clouds gathered over the Ice and Snow City. Golden lightning dragons darted through the ck clouds, creating a terrifying scene, as if they could destroy the heavens and the earth. In the City Lord¡¯s Hall. ¡°Mother, what¡¯s happening? Is someone about to undergo a lightning tribtion?¡± Feng Qian Ning asked, standing beside Feng Yuwan. Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction of Yang Chen¡¯s residence, her expression full of seriousness and concern. ¡°This lightning tribtion is golden! It¡¯s far stronger than the one I faced when I broke through to the Soul Transformation Realm! Brother Chen ¡­ he¡¯ll be fine, right?¡± Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Feng Yuwan was deep in thought. She was so worried about Yang Chen that shepletely ignored her daughter beside her. ¡°Chen, Brother Chen?¡± Hearing her mother¡¯s way of addressing the Holy Son, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s beautiful eyes froze. She knew very well what kind of personality her mother had. She had always thought that her mother agreed to the marriage alliance with the Holy Son mainly out of consideration for the family. But now ¡­ her mother was calling the Holy Son ¡°Brother Chen.¡± For her cold and stubborn mother to use such an intimate form of address, it couldn¡¯t possibly be just a marriage of convenience. It seemed that during their time in the secret realm, the rtionship between her mother and the Holy Son had made significant progress. Feng Qian Ning couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit disappointed in her heart. She looked at the distant thunderclouds. Her heart was also full of worry. The tribtion lightning was so powerful that even just a nce made her heart palpitate. She could only hope that the heavens would bless the Holy Son and let him pass through safely. At this moment, the golden thunder in the sky continued to gather, like a sea of lightning. Boom! The sea of lightning tilted. A golden bolt of lightning struck downwards. Dazzling golden light split the sky. The pce where Yang Chen was located was instantly engulfed by the lightning. The golden thunder struck heavily on his body and his nine-colored primordial spirit, as if it wanted to annihte them. However, despite the might of the lightning, it did not cause any substantial harm to him. The charred marks on his physical body instantly faded, and a dragon¡¯s roar echoed from within,pletely unafraid of the thunder. The primordial spirit emitted nine-colored lightning, actually refining and absorbing the surrounding golden thunder. After refining, the shadow of the primordial spirit became slightly more solid. This miraculous scene also made Yang Chen¡¯s eyes widen. That his physical body was unafraid of thunder was not surprising. After all, he had fused with the ancient dragon¡¯s spine. His physical body was already no weaker than a true dragon¡¯s. But that his primordial spirit possessed such a heaven-defying ability¡ªto directly absorb tribtion lightning¡ªwas beyond his expectations. It seemed that the heavens sensed Yang Chen¡¯s unharmed state. Another, even thicker bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Boom! One after another, bolts of lightning continued to rain down, as if they were determined topletely obliterate Yang Chen. The nine-colored primordial spirit he had condensed was engulfed by the golden thunder. Although it could not immediately absorb these lightning bolts, there were no signs of it dissipating or fading away. His physical body, under the relentless hammering of the countless golden lightning bolts, was faintly reaching the edge of a breakthrough. Roar! Finally, a loud dragon roar shot up to the sky, piercing through the clouds. Yang Chen¡¯s body radiated golden light. Golden dragon shadows spiraled above his head, almost like tangible golden dragons. After the baptism of the thunder, his physical body also broke through. He had reached the Soul Transformation Realm. Yang Chen felt his meridians rapidly expanding within, the sound of his blood flowing was like the roaring of a mighty river. The strength of his physical body increased several times over in just an instant. In the sky, the lightning continued to gather. The golden thunderclouds even covered the entire sky above the Ice and Snow City. The cultivators within the Ice and Snow City, whether they were in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Realm, all trembled uncontrobly. They had cultivated for hundreds of years, but had never witnessed such a terrifying scene. Many cultivators, unable to bear the fear in their hearts, began to flee outside the city. They were worried that if the thunderclouds copsed directly, raining down upon them, the Ice and Snow City would turn into a sea of lightning. ¡°Damn that Yang Chen, bringing such a terrifying tribtion lightning! Haha, this is perfect! I hope that bastard gets struck dead by the lightning! Strike him dead! Haha!¡± After this period of recovery, Long Tianyu¡¯s injuries had mostly healed. At this moment, looking at the golden thunderclouds in the sky, his face was twisted with madness. He hoarsely roared, desperately hoping that Yang Chen would die under this tribtion. Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning stood within the grand hall. One was voluptuous and graceful. The other was cold and peerless. Both of them were filled with worry. ¡°Mother, this tribtion is too terrifying!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s voice trembled slightly. Looking at the boundless golden thunderclouds in the sky made her heart tremble uncontrobly, making her want to prostrate on the ground. Feng Yuwan¡¯s gaze was solemn. ¡°Such a powerful tribtion, even I can¡¯t withstand it now! This is simply not normal! Could it be that both the physical body and the primordial spirit are undergoing tribtion together?¡± Boom! The golden thunderclouds gradually gathered into a golden thunder dragon, which then flew through the sky and struck downwards, as if it wanted to destroy this world.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°Come on!¡± With his physical body breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm, Yang Chen¡¯s confidence soared. Even with the enhancement of the tribtion, he felt no fear. He would take advantage of the descending lightning to temper his physical body. For a body cultivator, nothing was more suitable for refining the physical body than tribtion lightning. Boom! Boom! Golden lightning once again engulfed him. Bolts of lightning struck his body, tearing his flesh apart, but then it immediately healed. As a body cultivator, with the ancient dragon¡¯s spine, Yang Chen not only possessed immense physical strength but also astonishing recovery abilities. With each healing, Yang Chen¡¯s aura would rise a notch. The ancient dragon¡¯s spine within him hadpletely fused with his body. Under the hammering of the tribtion lightning, Yang Chen¡¯s blood surged, elerating the refinement through the dragon¡¯s spine. The golden light in his blood grew thicker. Every drop of golden dragon blood was apanied by a dragon¡¯s roar. The lightning continued for half an hour. Gradually, it dissipated. The sky returned to clear, boundless blue. Everything seemed as if nothing had happened. ¡°Phew, he made it through!¡± Feng Yuwan let out a sigh of relief. As the tribtion lightning dispersed, she could feel the immense aura emanating from Yang Chen. That little rascal, even before reaching the Soul Transformation Realm, had strength that was not inferior to hers. Now that both his physical body and primordial spirit had entered the Soul Transformation Realm, hisbat power would surely increase significantly. However, she was only happy about this. After all, he was her man. The stronger, the better. But not too strong ¡­ After all, that little rascal was a body cultivator. When they were by theke, she almost couldn¡¯t hold on. She felt like her body was about to fall apart. Now that the little rascal¡¯s physical body had reached the Soul Transformation Realm ¡­ In the future? Feng Yuwan¡¯s mind once again shed back to the scene by theke. Even though she had pleaded bitterly, it was to no avail. As a dignified Soul Transformation cultivator who had cultivated for a thousand years, she had never been so humiliated and submissive before. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared. Her cheeks also flushed with a hint of red. If that little rascal did it again, she really didn¡¯t know how she could endure it. ¡°Mother, what¡¯s wrong? Why did your face suddenly turn red?¡± Feng Qian Ning noticed the unusual expression on Feng Yuwan¡¯s face and asked, puzzled. Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Hearing this, Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate body trembled, feeling a bit flustered. Just now, her soul was only focused on sensing that little rascal¡¯s aura,pletely forgetting that her daughter was beside her. Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but touch her cheeks. Indeed, they were very warm, and probably very red. This embarrassing scene had been witnessed by her daughter. ¡°N-no, it¡¯s nothing! I just suddenly thought of something!¡± Feng Yuwan hurriedly exined. But suddenly, she covered her mouth with her jade hand. ¡°Ugh!¡± Feng Yuwan suddenly felt a wave of nausea and couldn¡¯t help but want to vomit. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Feng Yuwan was confused. She had already reached the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. How could she suddenly feel nauseous? ¡°Mother, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Beside her, Feng Qian Ning hurriedly asked, full of concern. ¡°I-I don¡¯t know! I just suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit!¡± ¡°Nauseous and urge to vomit?¡± Hearing her mother¡¯s words, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s beautiful eyes suddenly widened. A woman suddenly feeling nauseous and urge to vomit, showing such symptoms¡ªcould it be? ¡°Mother, you¡ªyou¡¯re not ¡­ pregnant, are you?¡± *** ¡°What ¡­ what? Pregnant?¡± Hearing the word ¡°pregnant,¡± Feng Yuwan was immediately stunned. In her mind, the wild scenes with Yang Chen by thekeside reyed once more. Combining those memories with her current symptoms: Nausea, and an urge to vomit. As a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, it was impossible for her body to experience illnesses like a mortal¡¯s. The only exnation seemed to be pregnancy. ¡°Pregnant? Having a child?¡± Feng Yuwan murmured softly. Then she quickly examined her own body internally. She had been busy dealing with family matters and the affairs of the Ice and Snow City during this period, leaving little time for cultivation. Her soul sank into her body, focusing on the area around her lower abdomen. Feng Yuwan was suddenly taken aback. Because, within her lower abdomen, there was a faint life force. Although it was very weak, it was undeniably real. She really was pregnant. ¡°Mother, what is it?¡± Seeing Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes open, Feng Qian Ning asked anxiously. Faced with her daughter¡¯s question, Feng Yuwan felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she was over a thousand years old, the head of a n, and the lord of a city. And now, she was pregnant. Moreover, the child was Yang Chen¡¯s, someone much younger. Thinking of Yang Chen, Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes softened with a gentle light. If that little rascal knew he was going to be a father, he would surely be very happy. Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but gently stroke her belly. Although she didn¡¯t respond, this action instantly made Feng Qian Ning understand. Her mother was indeed pregnant. And the child was the Holy Son¡¯s. This meant ¡­ She was going to have a little brother or sister. On the other side, Yang Chen walked out from the ruins. He took out a piece of clothing, put it on, and covered his sharply defined muscles, once again restoring his elegant demeanor. His aura had be even deeper than before. After the baptism of the tribtion lightning, not only had Yang Chen¡¯s residence turned to ashes, but arge portion of the Feng family¡¯s core area had also be ruins. Fortunately, sensing his impending breakthrough, the elders of the Feng family had evacuated all the disciples in the vicinity. There were no casualties. Otherwise, under such a tribtion, whether one was in the Nascent Soul or Golden Core Realm, there would be nothing left but ashes. ¡°Your Highness, the Holy Son!¡± Seeing that Yang Chen was unharmed, Xu Qingxuan, who had been watching from afar, hurriedly flew over. Her cold little face was full of infatuated smiles. ¡°Qingxuan congrattes Your Highness on sessfully oveing the tribtion and bing a Soul Transformation powerhouse! You are now the youngest Soul Transformation cultivator in history!¡± Xu Qingxuan said with a beaming smile, eagerly ttering him. Yang Chen smiled faintly, and with a sh of light in his hand, Ten jars of Profound Ice Spirit Water appeared before her eyes. ¡°Qingxuan, this is Profound Ice Spirit Water. It will help you with your cultivation. Quickly, take it.¡± ¡°Profound Ice Spirit Water? So much!?¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s small face was momentarily stunned, full of surprise. She knew very well the value of Profound Ice Spirit Water. Her father had once purchased a small bottle of Profound Ice Spirit Water for her at great expense, allowing her to build a perfect foundation. But she had only ever used it once. Now, the Holy Son had directly given her ten jars of Profound Ice Spirit Water. This kind of generosity? It was terrifyingly overwhelming. ¡°Your Highness, you¡¯re so good to me! I want to repay you properly! But I don¡¯t know how! What do you think I should do?¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s beautiful eyes were like water as she gazed at Yang Chen. Then she extended her arms and threw herself directly into his embrace. She even immediately began to activate the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation technique. Moreover, her body started to twist and turn. Yang Chen felt a bit helpless. This girl, whenever she was alone with him, would invariably turn into an infatuated woman. Sigh. Yang Chen didn¡¯t push her away right away. Instead, he infused a substantial amount of True Dragon Qi into her body. Letting her get her fill all at once. With the neutralizing effect of the Profound Ice Spirit Water, there was no fear that she wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb the overwhelming amount of yang energy from the dragon¡¯s qi. ¡°Mm ¡­¡± Xu Qingxuan¡¯s small face instantly turned bright red. Her body was burning hot. Yang Chen sealed the vast dragon qi within her ¡­ Only then did she start to feel better. However, she still didn¡¯t let go of his waist, holding on tightly to Yang Chen. Until a cough was heard. ¡°Am I interrupting something at the wrong time?¡± Hearing this, Yang Chen turned his head. Feng Yuwan had appeared at some point. He had been so focused on transferring the dragon qi to Xu Qingxuan that he hadn¡¯t noticed her presence. Moreover, judging by her tone, it seemed like she was quite jealous. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have made a point of speaking up. At this moment, Xu Qingxuan also let go of Yang Chen. Her small face flushed. Her beautiful eyes still carried a lingering sense of pleasure. Then she bowed to Feng Yuwan and said, ¡°Qingxuan greets the City Lord!¡± Feng Yuwan didn¡¯t respond, only looking at her with a calm gaze. Xu Qingxuan¡¯s lips twitched slightly, understanding the implication. This was a signal for her to leave. She felt very indignant. When she first met the Holy Son, this Feng elder was nowhere to be found! And now, she was being told to leave. But, considering that Feng Yuwan was a fourth-stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, Xu Qingxuan didn¡¯t dare provoke her. Xu Qingxuan reluctantly put away the ten jars of Profound Ice Spirit Water and stepped aside, full of unwillingness. ¡°Hmph!¡± Feng Yuwan let out a soft snort. Her beautiful eyes turned to Yang Chen as she slowly approached him. ¡°You and your maidservant seem to have a very unusual rtionship! Hugging and giving her Profound Ice Spirit Water! And not just one jar, but ten!¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°She¡¯s my personal maidservant, and the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation technique we practice was given to me by her!¡± Yang Chen said indifferently, his lips gradually curving into a yful smile. Then, he suddenly pulled Feng Yuwan¡¯s graceful and voluptuous body into his arms. ¡°Ah!¡± Feng Yuwan let out a soft cry. Her body struggled, trying to break free from Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. But Yang Chen leaned close to her ear and said yfully, ¡°Wan¡¯er, was that tone just now ¡­ were you jealous?¡± Chapter 137 - VIP5 Chapter 137 ¡°Nonsense! Who ¡­ who would be jealous of you, you little rascal!?¡± When Yang Chen exposed her feelings, a blush immediately rose on Feng Yuwan¡¯s fair and delicate face. When she saw Yang Chen and Xu Qingxuan embracing earlier, she had instinctively felt a wave of difort in her heart. Although she had cultivated for a thousand years, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Seeing her man holding another woman in his arms, that kind of feeling made her unconsciously start to speak with a hint of jealousy. Now that Yang Chen had directly pointed it out, she felt incredibly embarrassed. Unable to help herself, she gave Yang Chen a couple of light punches on the shoulder. ¡°Hehe!¡± Seeing her act like a shy young girl, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile slightly. Making a Soul Transformation cultivator who has trained for a thousand years feel jealous is something to be proud of. Moreover, when Feng Yuwan, this graceful and voluptuous beauty, got jealous, it added a unique charm. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but hold her tighter. Feeling the warmth and intense yang energy radiating from Yang Chen¡¯s body, Feng Yuwan¡¯s body stopped resisting and softened entirely. ¡°Earlier, you said that the Dragon-Phoenix technique was given to you by that girl. Does that mean you two have cultivated together?¡± Feng Yuwan, recalling Yang Chen¡¯s earlier words, couldn¡¯t help but feel another pang of jealousy. ¡°No!¡± Yang Chen shook his head immediately. ¡°That girl is too immature. I have no real interest in her! Besides, don¡¯t you already know my taste? I only like women like you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so annoying, you little rascal!¡± Feng Yuwan gave Yang Chen a sideways nce. Two hourster. In the City Lord¡¯s pce. Feng Yuwan¡¯s fair forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. Her slender fingers traced circles on Yang Chen¡¯s chest. Her red lips parted, releasing warm breaths. ¡°Brother Chen! I have something to tell you!¡± Yang Chenzily stroked her silky, ck hair and asked: ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I ¡­ I¡¯m pregnant!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s cheeks were flushed with redness as she softly spoke. ¡°Pregnant? Pregnant with what?¡± Yang Chen didn¡¯t immediately understand. Feng Yuwan promptly gave him a light p on the shoulder and said with a slight huff: ¡°What do you think I¡¯m pregnant with? I¡¯m carrying your child!¡± ¡°You¡¯re pregnant?¡± Hearing this, Yang Chen instantly sat up. ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Feng Yuwan slightly wrinkled her delicate nose. She took Yang Chen¡¯s hand and ced it on her lower abdomen. ¡°Feel it for yourself!¡± Yang Chen, not caring about the smoothness of her skin, quickly released a thread of his soul¡¯s power into her abdomen. Then, his eyes widened. Because within Feng Yuwan¡¯s lower abdomen, there really was a life force. Moreover, that life force instinctively felt close to him. It was his own bloodline. He was going to be a father again. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Feng Yuwan softly whispered beside him, wrapping her jade-like arms around his neck. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tender affection and infatuation.@@novelbin@@ ¡°We¡¯re going to have a child! You¡¯re going to be a father! And I¡¯m going to be a real mother!¡± As Feng Yuwan spoke, a maternal glow shone in her eyes. Although she had raised Feng Qian Ning, that was her adopted daughter. Now, the child in her belly was her own flesh and blood. She was going to be a true mother. Since Yang Chen had passed through his tribtion, half a month had passed. The Ice and Snow City had also quieted down. However, during this half month, a rumor began to spread throughout the City Lord¡¯s mansion. The rumor was that the City Lord seemed to be pregnant with the Holy Son¡¯s child. Although Feng Yuwan had reached the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, and her Ice Phoenix bloodline was extremely pure, she still couldn¡¯t avoid the symptoms of morning sickness. And perhaps due to her unique physique, her morning sickness symptoms were particrly severe. Several of the core elders of the Feng family had witnessed their lord dry heaving while covering her mouth more than once. So, after some discussion among the elders, the news that the City Lord was pregnant with the Xuantian Holy Son¡¯s child spread. Feng Qian Ning, dressed in a white gauze dress, sat cross-legged on her cultivation tform, focused on her training. Suddenly, the door to her room was violently pushed open. Feng Qian Ning abruptly opened her eyes. She looked toward the door, her gaze instantly turning icy. ¡°Long Tianyu, are you out of your mind? Thest time you barged into my room, I let it go without arguing! And now you do it again!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with annoyance. Her true energy surged around her. She finally understood why so many people in the family constantly wanted to cause trouble for Long Tianyu. Now, even she wanted to teach this guy a lesson! ¡°Qian Ning, I have something to ask you!¡± Long Tianyu said in a deep voice. ¡°What is it? Hurry up and say it!¡± Feng Qian Ning responded impatiently, while also considering what excuse she could use to finally get rid of this pest, Long Tianyu. During this time, she had suggested that Long Tianyu move out. But Long Tianyu had stubbornly refused to leave, giving various excuses. He said they were husband and wife, and that if he moved out, the members of the Feng family would certainly make trouble for him. Feng Qian Ning had softened her heart and didn¡¯t insist. Now, with him barging in like this again, she was thoroughly annoyed. By the end of the day, Long Tianyu would definitely have to move out of her pce. ¡°Qian Ning, I want to ask you, is it true that Mother-inw is pregnant?¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes were fixed on Feng Qian Ning, burning with intensity. During this time, he had heard several rumors about Feng Yuwan being pregnant. At first, he didn¡¯t take them seriously, assuming they were just gossip. After all, his mother-inw was a woman who held herself in extremely high regard, proud and aloof, a true ice-cold beauty. It was already surprising enough that she had agreed to a marriage alliance with that bastard Yang Chen. How could she possibly be pregnant with his child? But today, he had personally overheard a Feng family elder say that Feng Yuwan was indeed pregnant with that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s child. If it were just rumors among the disciples, it might have been dismissed as hearsay. But the elders wouldn¡¯t speak without reason. He was instantly furious. Feng Yuwan, his proud and unattainable mother-inw, had always been his dream. Hearing Long Tianyu¡¯s question, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s expression first darkened. Then she coldly replied: ¡°So what if it¡¯s true? Mother and the Holy Son have already married, bing Daopanions! Pregnancy is only natural! You should worry more about your own affairs!¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s true?¡± Hearing Feng Qian Ning¡¯s confirmation, Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes instantly turned ferocious. His forehead bulged with veins, and a wave of anger surged within him, ready to explode. He had endured all sorts of humiliation in the Feng family as a son-inw, all for the day when he could conquer that proud woman, Feng Yuwan. But now, she had been taken by Yang Chen. And she was even pregnant with his child. No wonder, when she had emerged from the forbidden grounds, he had felt she was even more captivating at first sight. It turned out that bastard Yang Chen had awakened her charms. Damn it! Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Long Tianyu felt as if his entire being had been drenched in a metaphorical shade of betrayal, his hair seemingly turning a vibrant green* in his mind. Feng Yuwan was his obsession, his forbidden treasure. But now, she was pregnant with that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s child. [*referring to a green hat which is a metaphor for being cuckolded.] Damn it. Yang Chen, you son of a¡ª I swear, I¡¯m going to kill you! I¡¯ll tear you to pieces! Feng Yuwan, you wretched woman. You always looked down on me, always ready to punish or kill me. You publicly humiliated me more than once. And now, you¡¯ve been yed by Yang Chen and are carrying his child. Wretch! Wretched woman! I¡¯ll kill you both, you despicable pair! Long Tianyu raged internally, consumed by hatred and madness. Meanwhile, as Yang Chen was enjoying Feng Yuwan¡¯s attentive massage, the system¡¯s voice suddenly echoed in his mind: [Ding! Long Tianyu has learned of Feng Yuwan¡¯s pregnancy, causing a mental breakdown. You have plundered 1,500 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 1,500 VPs!] Hmm? Yang Chen was momentarily taken aback. So, Yu¡¯er found out about Feng Yuwan¡¯s pregnancy and had a mental breakdown? And I gained 1,500 destiny points from it? Haha. This really is an unexpected joy. Yu¡¯er, oh Yu¡¯er. Knowing your mother-inw is pregnant ¡­ And it¡¯s your father¡¯s child ¡­ You must be really thrilled right now. Hehe. ¡°Brother Chen, what¡¯s going on? Why are you suddenly smiling so ¡­ strangely?¡± Feng Yuwan asked, noticing Yang Chen¡¯s odd smile. Yang Chen got up from herp. ¡°Nothing! By the way, Wan¡¯er, it seems like a lot of people know about your pregnancy now!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she said angrily, ¡°Isn¡¯t it those old fellows who deliberately spread the news! Now everyone knows! I¡¯m too embarrassed to face the younger generation of the family!¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?¡± Yang Chen immediately pulled her into his arms, feigning displeasure. ¡°Are you embarrassed to be carrying my child?¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not it, Brother Chen!¡± Feng Yuwan quickly waved her hand, her expression tense. ¡°How could I feel embarrassed about that! In fact, in my heart, I¡¯m very happy to be pregnant with your child! It¡¯s just that ¡­ we¡¯re not from the same generation! I¡¯m your master¡¯s friend, and now I¡¯m carrying your child! It¡¯s kind of shameful to talk about! Now, I¡¯m sure many people areughing at me!¡± Feng Yuwan whispered as shey in Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. This had always been her greatest concern. After all, she had been cultivating for over a thousand years. In her youth, she had traveled and trained with Zhan Lingshuang, bing close friends. But now, she was pregnant with Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s disciple¡¯s child. What if she met Zhan Lingshuang in the future? Wouldn¡¯t that be unbearably awkward? Moreover, she had no idea how Zhan Lingshuang would react to the situation. After all, Zhan Lingshuang was a notorious figure, a woman known for her ruthless nature. Although they had a friendship from their youth, they hadn¡¯t seen each other in hundreds of years, and their feelings might have faded. What if she thought Feng Yuwan had seduced her precious disciple and tried to separate them? What would she do then? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wan¡¯er! No one dares tough at you! If anyone dares to mock you, I¡¯ll kill them!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Feng Yuwan visibly rxed, smiling softly. ¡°What if your masterughs at me?¡± ¡°My master?¡± Hearing Feng Yuwan mention his master, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but think of her beautiful figure. His master had sent him to help Feng Yuwan be the City Lord of the Ice and Snow City. And now, Feng Yuwan was pregnant with his child. If his master found out, the situation would undoubtedly be interesting. However, if his master did mock Feng Yuwan, the best solution would be to have his master pregnant as well¡ªthen she wouldn¡¯t be able tough at anyone. But, of course, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t say this out loud. If he did, Feng Yuwan would surely call him a pervert. Just then, a sword light pierced through the barrier of the grand hall, appearing beside Yang Chen. The sword light was small, but it carried an astonishing sword intent. Even though Yang Chen was now at the Soul Transformation Realm, he dared not underestimate this sword light. ¡°Well, speak of the devil!¡± Yang Chen sighed helplessly. He had just been fantasizing about his master, and now her transmission sword talisman had arrived. ¡°Is it Zhan Lingshuang?¡± Feng Yuwan, sensing the sword intent within the sword light, immediately recognized it and sat up quickly. She hastily tidied her disheveled hair and wrinkled dress. Yang Chen took the sword talisman and infused it with a strand of true energy. Instantly, a faint, ethereal figure appeared before Yang Chen. ¡°Chen¡¯er, I¡¯m on my way to the Ice and Snow City and should arrive soon! The Fourth Elder discovered something unusual in the Falling Snow Mountain Range, and I need to handle it!¡± After speaking, the ethereal figure dissipated. Yang Chen was a bit surprised. The Fourth Elder discovered something unusual in the Falling Snow Mountain Range? So, Master ising to the Ice and Snow City? At this moment, Feng Yuwan was somewhat panicked. ¡°Brother Chen, what should we do now? Your master ising!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine! She¡¯sing, so what? It¡¯s not like she¡¯s going to eat you!¡± ¡°Zhan Lingshuang is a moody demoness! You don¡¯t know how terrifying your master can be! If she finds out about our rtionship, she really might eat me alive!¡± Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t help but recall her experiences training with Zhan Lingshuang in her earlier years. That woman was a merciless killer. With just one sword, she had wiped out countless sects. Wherever she went, corpses were strewn about. Her infamous reputation was built on rivers of blood. Although Feng Yuwan had reached the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, Zhan Lingshuang had already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. The gap between them was enormous. If Zhan Lingshuang believed that Feng Yuwan was taking advantage of her disciple, she might take action. And Feng Yuwan knew she wouldn¡¯t stand a chance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Wan¡¯er, it won¡¯t happen! Come on, if you¡¯re really scared, why don¡¯t you try me first!¡± Seeing Yang Chen¡¯s yful expression, Feng Yuwan immediately understood his meaning, her face flushing red.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°You¡¯re terrible! Such a bad man!¡± She yfully scolded him. But then, she lowered her head shyly. Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but gasp as she did so. Chapter 139 Chapter 139 In the grand hall, after the stormy events, peace gradually returned. Yang Chen looked at the now-sleeping Feng Yuwan, feeling deeply satisfied. He knelt down and gently wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth. For the dignified City Lord of the Ice and Snow City and a fourth-stage Soul Transformation cultivator to do such things for him ¡­ Haha. Any man would feel immensely proud. Yang Chen left Feng Yuwan¡¯s sleeping quarters and went to his own cultivation pce. He took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant. It was the very same Dragon Blood Jade that belonged to Long Tianyu. At this moment, the Dragon Blood Jade was emitting crimson light and a series of dragon roars resonated from within. Yang Chen lifted the seal. Instantly, a Red Dragon materialized once again. However,pared to thest time, the dragon¡¯s size had reduced significantly, and its aura had weakened. Its enormous pupils stared at Yang Chen, carrying a trace of fear, but there was also a spark of intelligence in its eyes. Yang Chen immediately understood that this so-called Red Dragon True Soul, as Yu¡¯er called it, was not merely a dead entity; it possessed its own consciousness. ¡°I won¡¯t harm you! Perhaps we can have a conversation!¡± Yang Chen said with a smile, trying to project his goodwill. The Red Dragon soul before him was clearly very afraid of him, but that fear was more due to the bloodline suppression. Dragons were a race that valued bloodlines greatly. The dragon¡¯s might from the Ancient Dragon Spine in Yang Chen¡¯s body was an unimaginable deterrent to the Red Dragon soul. However, this did not mean that the Red Dragon soul was weaker than him. On the contrary, even though Yang Chen¡¯s strength had recently reached the Soul Transformation Realm, and had qualitatively improved, he could still sense a power within the Red Dragon soul that was more vast than his own. ¡°You ¡­ you really won¡¯t hurt me?¡± Suddenly, the Red Dragon soul spoke in humannguage. The voice was childish but clear. Yang Chen was stunned. This being truly had its own consciousness and could even speak. Moreover, the voice was feminine. This dragon soul was female. ¡°Of course! We are of the same race!¡± Yang Chen continued to smile. He stepped forward and extended his hand to gently stroke her enormous dragon head. The Red Dragon soul¡¯s body trembled slightly, but it didn¡¯t retreat. After feeling the contact from Yang Chen¡¯s hand, it seemed to sense his goodwill. The fear in her dragon eyes gradually dissipated. ¡°Your bloodline is very strong! Can you help me create a physical body?¡± The Red Dragon soul suddenly asked. ¡°Create a physical body?¡± Yang Chen was slightly taken aback. ¡°How about you tell me your origins first? What¡¯s your rtionship with Long Tianyu?¡± The Red Dragon soul¡¯srge eyes showed a moment of contemtion before she began to speak: ¡°I am a dragon soul born from the Dragon Blood Jade. Later, the people of the Red Dragon n discovered me! We made a deal. They provided me with essence blood containing dragon bloodlines, and I helped them enhance the quality of their bloodlines! As for Long Tianyu, he awakened me from my slumber, and we made an agreement: I would protect his life and enhance his bloodline, and in return, he would provide me with essence blood in the future!¡± ¡°So, you and the Red Dragon n were merely cooperating?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± A trace of arrogance flickered in the Red Dragon soul¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Red Dragon n are just humans with diluted dragon bloodlines! They vainly tried to use me to improve their family¡¯s bloodline grade and acquire True Dragon blood! I was only using them as well!¡± As she spoke, the Red Dragon soul looked at Yang Chen, and her eyes gradually filled with respect. ¡°The dragon blood in you is of a very high grade, so powerful that it makes me tremble! To create a physical body, I need dragon blood of a very high grade! If you are willing to use your essence blood to help me create a physical body, I would be willing to recognize you as my master and serve you in the future!¡± ¡°Recognize me as your master? Serve me in the future?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling tempted. This Red Dragon soul was no ordinary being. Earlier, she had shattered Feng Yuwan¡¯s attack effortlessly. Her true strength was likely far above Feng Yuwan¡¯s. If she could serve him, she would be a powerful ally in the future. Not bad at all.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Yang Chen nodded: ¡°I can help you create a physical body! But first, I need to nt a mark in your soul pce!¡± ¡°Of course.¡± The Red Dragon soul agreed without hesitation. Yang Chen ced his hand on her enormous dragon head, and nine-colored soul energy spread into her. In her soul pce, he condensed a nine-colored dragon-shaped mark. If the Red Dragon soul ever tried to betray him, Yang Chen could ignite this soul energy. The soul pce was the most vulnerable spot for all cultivators, including dragons. If it were to explode, even if the Red Dragon soul were stronger than him, she wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it. Momentster, Yang Chen withdrew his hand. ¡°Master! All you need to do is drop some essence blood on my forehead, and I can absorb it and begin creating my physical body! Please!¡± The Red Dragon soul said excitedly. ¡°Alright.¡± Yang Chen didn¡¯t hesitate. He drew five drops of golden blood from his heart. The golden light from the blood glowed brightly, emanating a powerful dragon might. Each drop of golden blood contained immense power. The five drops of golden blood fell onto the Red Dragon soul¡¯s forehead. Instantly, the golden blood was absorbed into her. The crimson glow on the Red Dragon soul¡¯s body began to fade rapidly, gradually disappearing. In its ce were golden veins that ran through her entire dragon body. ¡°Master, five drops of essence blood are not enough! Please, give me more!¡± The Red Dragon soul pleaded; her voice full of strong desire. Yang Chen could tell these five drops of essence blood were only enough to outline her meridians. It was still far from forming a physical body. He drew out another five drops of essence blood. After the Red Dragon soul absorbed them, blood and flesh began to form on her body. However, only one-third of the flesh appeared. ¡°Master! It¡¯s still not enough! Please, give me more!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Yang Chen cursed inwardly. He was beginning to regret it. This creature was clearly a bottomless pit. Five drops of essence blood were only enough to form one-third of the flesh. And there were still the bones to consider. How much more would it take? Sigh. Forget it. Havinge this far ¡­ Yang Chen sighed and reluctantly continued to draw more essence blood. Finally, after forty more drops of essence blood, the Red Dragon soulpleted the creation of her physical body. The meridians, flesh, and bones were all formed. Her entire body emitted a crimson-gold glow. ¡°Roar!¡± A long dragon roar echoed. The dragon might she emitted was extremely powerful, causing the grand hall to tremble as if it would copse. Even the protective barrier Yang Chen had set up was shattered by the purple-gold light. With a physical body, the Red Dragon soul¡¯s aura became significantly stronger. Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Yang Chen was a bit startled. Her aura now was likely at the Ninth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, possibly even at the peak. Although his face was pale after giving up fifty drops of essence blood, it was worth it. After all, he now had an incredibly powerful ally. The crimson-gold glow gradually retracted and dissipated. Revealing a tall girl standing before Yang Chen. She had a pair of small dragon horns on her forehead. Her eyes were crimson-gold. Her skin was as white as snow, emitting a jade-like sheen. Her long hair cascaded down her back, her slender waist barely graspable. Below were her long, elegant legs. Yang Chen stared, dumbfounded. Until the girl softly spoke: ¡°Master, humans usually wear clothes. Could you please give me something to wear?¡± *** ¡°Ah! Oh, right!¡± Yang Chen snapped back to reality and quickly took out a piece of clothing, tossing it to the girl. ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± In just an instant, the girl had dressed herself. The yellow long dress she wore perfectlyplemented her tall figure and the faint golden glow of her long hair, giving her an air of pride and nobility. She looked like a princess of the dragon n. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°Name?¡± The girl¡¯s crimson-gold eyes showed a moment of contemtion before she replied, ¡°Ever since I gained consciousness, no one has ever named me. However, there are two words that often appear in my memory: Linglong.¡± ¡°Linglong?¡± Yang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, ¡°Let these two characters be your name then. From now on, you will be called Linglong.¡± ¡°Yes, thank you for giving me a name, Master!¡± Linglong¡¯s beautiful eyes shed with joy.@@novelbin@@ She then walked to the side and began to examine her new body. Sometimes she would pull at her cor, feeling around inside, and other times she would lift her skirt to peek underneath. She was clearly very curious about the human body. Although she had gained consciousness over hundreds of thousands of years, her mentality now was like that of a young girl. ¡°Dragon Blood Jade, Linglong,¡± Yang Chen murmured. ording to ancient texts, the creation of Dragon Blood Jade required very specific conditions, including the presence of pure True Dragon blood to slowly form the jade. The name Linglong likely belonged to the original owner of that True Dragon blood. But all of that didn¡¯t matter now. ¡°Brother Chen, what¡¯s going on?¡± At that moment, a worried figure shed over. Feng Yuwan¡¯s face was full of concern. Although Yang Chen had set up a barrier to prevent the aura from leaking out, after Linglong¡¯s physical body was formed, her aura surged and broke through the barrier, allowing it to spread out and be detected by Feng Yuwan. Sensing an aura far stronger than her own, she rushed over, worried that something had happened to Yang Chen. Seeing that Yang Chen was unharmed, the worry on Feng Yuwan¡¯s face gradually faded. Then her gaze fell on Linglong, her eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Who is this?¡± ¡°Wan¡¯er, this is Linglong! The red dragon you saw earlier was her! I helped her form a physical body,¡± Yang Chen exined. ¡°I see!¡± Feng Yuwan nodded, but the more she looked at Linglong, the more surprised she became. She could feel a strong sense of oppression from Linglong¡ªnot just from the difference in power but also from a suppression at the bloodline stage. When she had faced the red dragon before, she hadn¡¯t felt such intense pressure. Feng Yuwan nced at Yang Chen and noticed his pale face, immediately understanding what had happened. This little rascal must have used his own essence blood to help Linglong form her body. He really spared no expense. At this moment, Linglong walked over and said, ¡°Master, there is something I need to tell you! There is a mark of the Red dragon n¡¯s leader in the Dragon Blood Jade. I sensed it earlier¡ªthe current leader of the Red dragon n is on his way here! He should arrive soon!¡± ¡°What?¡± Yang Chen was taken aback. The leader of the Red dragon n wasing. Was it for Long Tianyu? ¡°Linglong, what¡¯s the strength of the Red dragon n¡¯s leader?¡± Yang Chen asked. Linglong thought for a moment and replied, ¡°The Red dragon n has a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, but his lifespan is nearly exhausted! The current leader of the Red dragon n is Long Tianyu¡¯s father, and he should be at the half-step Void Refinement Realm!¡± ¡°Half-step Void Refinement?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Yang Chenughed. A half-step Void Refinement? If he¡¯sing, then he won¡¯t be leaving. If Yu¡¯er sees his father die here, Hehe. He will surely be heartbroken. Then, the remaining few thousand points will be easy to plunder. And it will also bring an end to Yu¡¯er¡¯s humiliating life. The next day, a tall, graceful figure dressed in a Daoist robe appeared in the sky above the Ice and Snow City. As the breeze blew, the loose Daoist robe clung to her delicate body, outlining a graceful and curvaceous figure. ¡°Hmph, that rebellious disciple Chen¡¯er dared to make decisions on his own and marry Feng Yuwan! He really doesn¡¯t respect me as his master! I raised him with my own hands, and yet that boy has no sense of reverence for me! This time, I must teach him a lesson and show him how to respect his master properly! And how could that rebellious disciple be so foolish as to marry Feng Yuwan? That old woman has been cultivating for over a thousand years! She¡¯s my friend, but does she not realize how old she is?¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s exquisite face was full of dissatisfaction. The news of the Xuantian Sect¡¯s Holy Son marrying Feng Yuwan, the City Lord of the Ice and Snow City, had already spread across most of the Northern Spiritual Realm. While the elders of the sect might have felt proud hearing the news, Zhan Lingshuang, as his master, was anything but pleased. The tender seedling she had nurtured had been imed by that old woman, Feng Yuwan. How infuriating. ¡°First, I¡¯ll find that rebellious disciple Chen¡¯er and teach him a lesson!¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s beautiful eyes scanned the Ice and Snow City, quickly locking onto Yang Chen¡¯s location. Then, her figure shed and she flew directly towards it. She arrived at a grand hall. Though it was protected by a barrier, with her cultivation, she effortlessly entered without a sound. She walked up to a room. Just as she was about to push the door open, she suddenly heard Yang Chen¡¯s voice: ¡°Wan¡¯er, don¡¯t worry, my master can¡¯t eat you! Even if she really wanted to eat you, aren¡¯t you already eating me right now?¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Hearing the conversation from inside the room, Zhan Lingshuang waspletely baffled. ¡°Wan¡¯er? Eat you? Eat me? What¡¯s going on here?¡± Chen¡¯er, that rebellious disciple, is he even speaking properly? Where did he pick up such weird habits? Zhan Lingshuang didn¡¯t understand. She directly kicked the door open. Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Bang! The door was violently kicked open. Zhan Lingshuang stood frozen at the sight before her. Feng Yuwan, that old woman, was kneeling in front of Chen¡¯er. And Chen¡¯er ¡­ was no longer the little boy with a teapot spout mouth she remembered. ¡°Ah!¡± A startled cry escaped Feng Yuwan¡¯s lips as she regained her senses, seeing Zhan Lingshuang suddenly appear at the door. A deep crimson blush instantly spread across her fair face. At that moment, she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it. To be caught by Zhan Lingshuang in such an embarrassing situation¡ªshe felt as though she could die of shame. Unable to bear it any longer, she quickly shed out of the room, fleeing in embarrassment. ¡°Master! Why didn¡¯t you knock beforeing in?¡± Yang Chen also felt a sense of helplessness. When did his master develop such a habit? Zhan Lingshuang finally snapped out of her daze. A blush and anger surged onto her usually cold face. ¡°Chen¡¯er, you¡¯re simply outrageous! How could you ¡­ do such a thing?¡± Zhan Lingshuang struggled to find the right words. In her thousand years of cultivation, she had never witnessed such a shameless scene. Ugh, this sullied my eyes. Zhan Lingshuang immediately turned around and walked out of the room. Momentster, Yang Chen stepped out of the room. He scanned the grand hall but didn¡¯t see any sign of Feng Yuwan. That woman was probably too embarrassed to stay around and had gone off somewhere to hide. Looking at his master¡¯s tall and graceful back, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of helplessness. Master, oh master. Couldn¡¯t you havee just a bitter? Zhan Lingshuang turned around, ring at Yang Chen with disapproval. ¡°Chen¡¯er, you really don¡¯t show your master any respect! Have you forgotten who raised you?¡± ¡°Of course not, Master!¡± Yang Chen immediately responded. ¡°If you know that, then you should understand that some things must be done with your master¡¯s permission! I sent you to the Ice and Snow City to help Feng Yuwan be the City Lord, not to marry her! And to do ¡­ that! Truly shameless!¡± Zhan Lingshuang became more and more agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving with emotion. She raised her hand, wanting to discipline Yang Chen as she did when he was a child by smacking him on the backside. But the memory of what she had just seen made her stop. Her Chen¡¯er was no longer a little boy. Using that method to punish him was no longer appropriate.@@novelbin@@ ¡°Hmph!¡± With a cold snort, she gave Yang Chen a stern re as a warning. ¡°Where¡¯s Feng Yuwan? Tell her toe out and see me! That old woman, I was considering helping her out of old friendship, but she dared to seduce my only disciple!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said indignantly. ¡°Master, Wan¡¯er has already been scared off by you! She¡¯s too embarrassed to face you now! Please, calm down!¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Zhan Lingshuang clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes in annoyance. ¡°Wan¡¯er, huh? That sounds so mushy!¡± Just then, Linglong walked in from outside the hall. ¡°Master!¡± ¡°Did something happen?¡± Seeing Linglong, Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°Soul Transformation Realm, tenth stage!? Chen¡¯er, who is she?¡± Zhan Lingshuang had already reached the Void Refinement Realm, allowing her to instantly recognize Linglong¡¯s cultivation stage. She was shocked. In the Northern Spiritual Realm, Soul Transformation Realm cultivators were already rare. While the top forces had a few Soul Transformation cultivators, most were in the early or mid stages. Cultivators who reached thete stage of the Soul Transformation Realm were so few in the Northern Spiritual Realm that they could be counted on one hand. And yet, the young woman before her was at the tenth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Moreover, this young woman had just addressed Chen¡¯er as ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Master, this is Linglong! She is a dragon soul born from the Dragon Blood Jade. I helped her form a physical body using my essence blood!¡± Yang Chen quickly exined. ¡°A dragon soul born from the Dragon Blood Jade?¡± Zhan Lingshuang took a deep look at Linglong, then pulled Yang Chen aside. She whispered to him: ¡°Chen¡¯er, do you know how Dragon Blood Jade is formed?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Chen nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s formed by condensing arge amount of dragon blood.¡± ¡°Indeed, it requires a significant amount of dragon blood to produce Dragon Blood Jade!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said seriously. ¡°But if a dragon soul is born within the Dragon Blood Jade, it¡¯s not just any dragon blood¡ªit¡¯s the result of a True Dragon¡¯s death! The dragon¡¯s body and blood form the Dragon Blood Jade, and the remnant dragon soul enters the jade, where it¡¯s nurtured over time, eventually giving birth to aplete dragon soul! You could say this is a method for dragons to extend their lives, essentially living a second life! But no matter what, this newly born dragon soul, as long as it doesn¡¯t perish, will one day awaken the memories of its previous life!¡± ¡°Awaken the memories of its previous life?¡± Yang Chen was taken aback. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Linglong. The name Linglong had frequently appeared in her memory, likely a remnant of her past life¡¯s consciousness. Zhan Lingshuang continued: ¡°For a dragon¡¯s blood to create Dragon Blood Jade and for a remnant dragon soul to live a second life, the dragon must have been a True Dragon with cultivation far surpassing even mine! Chen¡¯er, you¡¯ve made her call you ¡®Master.¡¯ If you can always suppress her, or if her memories never fully recover, then all is well! But if she ever fully awakens her past life¡¯s memories, what do you think she¡¯ll do? If that happens, you¡¯ll be in serious danger!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s heart sank. The dragon race, being the undisputed rulers of the demon race, were known for their pride. If Linglong really was a True Dragon with heaven-defying cultivation in her past life, and if she regained those memories, she could very well turn against him. Even now, Yang Chen found it difficult to fully grasp Linglong¡¯s thoughts. Since she had formed her physical body, her consciousness and wisdom had significantly improved. At that moment, the grand hall suddenly shook violently. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Yang Chen was startled and immediately stepped out of the hall. Many elders and disciples of the Feng family were also in shock. The tremor had not only affected Yang Chen¡¯s pce. The entire City Lord¡¯s mansion, even the Ice and Snow City, had experienced a violent tremor. Moreover, a white cold light had appeared in the northern part of the City Lord¡¯s mansion, floating in the sky. ¡°It seems the Profound Cold me has emerged!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said suddenly. ¡°Profound Deep Cold me?¡± Yang Chen was puzzled and quickly looked at her. ¡°Chen¡¯er, the Fourth Elder discovered the Profound Deep Cold me deep within the Falling Snow Mountain Range! I came here this time because of it!¡± Zhan Lingshuang exined. ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen suddenly understood. The Profound Deep Cold me was ranked forty-first on the list of heavenly mes, even stronger than his Green Lotus Heavenly me. Moreover, the Profound Deep Cold me was a very unique type of me. Unlike ordinary heavenly mes, which represent the ultimate heat in the world, the Profound Deep Cold me was a me that exuded bone-chilling cold. Extreme cold and scorching heat coexisted within it. This unique property was why it ranked higher than the Green Lotus Heavenly me. ¡°Another heavenly me has appeared!¡± Yang Chen murmured. His mind involuntarily recalled a seductive figure. Yan Hou*. [*me Empress/Empress Yan] Since they parted waysst time, he had lost track of her. He wondered if she had left the Northern Spiritual Realm. Although Yan Hou no longer had any value to him, she was still a woman he had once opposed. The memories of their encounter in the cave remained vivid, hard to forget. Chapter 142 Chapter 142 ¡°Chen¡¯er! There¡¯s no time to waste, you and I will go together! You possess the Green Lotus Heavenly me, perhaps your chances of subduing the Profound Deep Cold me will be greater!¡± Zhan Lingshuang spoke at this moment. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Yang Chen nodded in agreement. With the emergence of the Primordial Fire, it was natural for him to take a trip. The Falling Snow Mountain Range was located in the extreme northern region of the Northern Spiritual Realm, where it snowed all year round. In the depths of the mountain range, there was an entire world of ice and snow. The white cold light in the sky attracted many cultivators toe here. However, when they arrived, many cultivators dared not proceed further. For the cultivators of the Ice and Snow City, the depths of the mountain range were a very dangerous area. There were many ice-attribute demonic beasts in the Falling Snow Mountain Range. It was rumored that deep within the mountain range, there was a powerful demon at the Soul Transformation Realm. Once, a city lord of the Ice and Snow City ventured alone into the depths of the Falling Snow Mountain Range with his Soul Transformation Realm cultivation, and he never returned. Even so, some cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm and above entered the depths of the mountain range. After all, when natural treasures emerge, not everyone can maintain a calm mind. Yang Chen followed Zhan Lingshuang to a volcanic crater. The white cold light in the sky was emanating from here. The entire volcano was covered in snow and ice. However, at this moment, magma was spewing from the volcanic crater. Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Extreme cold and magma converging here indeed made for the perfect birthce of the Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Sect Head!¡± At this moment, a graceful white figure flew over from the side,nding in front of Zhan Lingshuang, bowing respectfully. Yang Chen looked over at the person. Dressed in a white dress, she had a graceful figure and an icy demeanor on her face. This was his first time seeing this Fourth Elder. ¡°Holy Son!¡± A cold voice sounded again. Yang Chen immediately cupped his hands in return and said, ¡°Fourth Elder!¡± ¡°I must thank you for that sword. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill Lan Qingshan so easily!¡± Last time, Yang Chen had killed Lan Qingshan at the City Lord¡¯s mansion. Although it seemed overwhelming and effortless, he knew that with his strength at the time, while he could defeat Lan Qingshan, if not for the Fourth Elder¡¯s sword, Lan Qingshan might have escaped, and Yang Chen wouldn¡¯t have been able to stop him. ¡°The Holy Son¡¯sbat strength is unparalleled. Even without my intervention, Lan Qingshan wouldn¡¯t have been your match!¡± The Fourth Elder said slowly. ¡°Alright, Xue¡¯er, no need to deliberately tter him! This kid is already getting quite arrogant! Now tell me what¡¯s going on inside!¡± ¡°Yes, Sect Head!¡± The Fourth Elder bowed and said, ¡°The Profound Deep Cold me has already emerged. However, due to its appearance, the underground volcano has be unstable! Although the surrounding area is an icy wastnd, beneath the surface lies awork of volcanoes, filled with arge amount of magma! Moreover, because the volcanic veins are intertwined and the geological structure isplex, the exact location of the Profound Deep Cold me cannot be determined right now!¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This is indeed troublesome!¡± Zhan Lingshuang furrowed her brows. At this moment, Yang Chen¡¯s eyes shone with golden light as he looked toward the ground. Immediately, throughyers of ice, snow, and earth, Yang Chen saw a vast sea of magma. And the volcano in front of him was merely a vent for this ocean of magma. ¡°Sect Head, what kind of ability is the Holy Son using?¡± The Fourth Elder was amazed as she saw the golden light in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes, as if he could see through the earth itself. Although Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s face remained calm, she was inwardly furious. This rebellious disciple was bing more and more capable, even making her, his master, envious. How infuriating. When they returned, she would interrogate him properly. The divine ability Yang Chen was using, even he wasn¡¯t very clear about. Ever since the golden color in his blood had be more intense, his eyes had undergone a transformation. As long as he activated the power of his bloodline and concentrated it in his eyes, he could see through everything. This was likely a divine ability of the ancient divine dragon. Now that the ancient divine dragon¡¯s blood in his body had be stronger, this divine ability had been activated. Thus, Yang Chen named this ability Golden Eyes of the Divine Dragon. The golden light pierced through the thick earth, revealing the magma veins below. Like rivers flowing beneath the surface, they stretched beneath the snowy mountains, forming an underground kingdom of magma. After scanning for a moment, Yang Chen finally found a white light at the confluence of two magma rivers. ¡°I¡¯ve found it!¡± Yang Chen said excitedly, looking up. In his excitement, he forgot to retract the golden light from his eyes. The golden light shot directly onto his master¡¯s body. Suddenly, the pristine figure, like white jade, appeared before Yang Chen¡¯s eyes. But in just a moment, the vision disappeared. Then, Yang Chen felt a sharp pain in his arm. ¡°Chen¡¯er, you¡¯ve gone too far! Where were you looking just now? I am your master; you can¡¯t behave without respect!¡± As a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s intuition was extremely sharp. When Yang Chen¡¯s gaze fell on her, she immediately sensed a feeling of being spied upon. In a sh, she appeared beside Yang Chen and pinched his arm hard.@@novelbin@@ This rebellious disciple had truly gone too far, even daring to peek at her. It seemed she must teach him a lesson. Yang Chen quickly retracted the golden light from his eyes. Feeling the pain in his arm, he was secretly relieved. Fortunately, he was her only disciple. If it were anyone else who dared to spy on her, their body would have been torn into pieces by now. Chapter 143 Chapter 143 His beautiful master was definitely a ruthless character. Over the past period, Yang Chen had heard countless stories from Feng Yuwan about the many ruthless methods his master had employed in her youth. Out of sheer rage, she had ughtered entire sects, leaving rivers of blood in her wake. His master had done this more than once. Otherwise, Feng Yuwan wouldn¡¯t still be so afraid of her, even after several hundred years. Seeing that his master was about to pinch him again, Yang Chen hurriedly said, ¡°Master, let¡¯s focus on the important matter! Disciple has confirmed the location of the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± ¡°Hurry and speak!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said in annoyance, her beautiful eyes ring fiercely at Yang Chen. This rebellious disciple could determine the location of the Profound Deep Cold me, meaning that the golden light in his eyes earlier must have pierced through the ground. If it could see through such thick earth, then when it swept across her body earlier ¡­ Had she just been fully seen by this rebellious disciple? How infuriating. When they returned, she would definitely settle ounts with him. She had to properly discipline this rascal¡ªhe was getting too bold. He even dared to take advantage of his master. ¡°Master, the Profound Deep Cold me is right beneath us!¡± Yang Chen flew ahead for over ten miles, stopping at a small hill. Without saying a word, Zhan Lingshuang flew into the air and drew her sword, shing several times at the ground below. Immediately, the ground was sliced open, revealing a hole over ten meters wide, from which magma began to gush out.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Xue¡¯er, you stay here and guard the entrance. If anyone tries to go down, kill them! Chen¡¯er,e with me! We may need to rely on your power to subdue the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said to Yang Chen. ¡°Alright!¡± Yang Chen quickly activated the Green Lotus Heavenly me, enveloping both him and Zhan Lingshuang, and they descended into the hole. Although the magma was scorching, the high temperatures were blocked by the Green Lotus Heavenly me. The protective circle formed by the me was small, so Yang Chen¡¯s body was pressed tightly against Zhan Lingshuang. Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and he couldn¡¯t resist taking a deep breath. In his mind, the image of what he had just seen surfaced once again¡ªpristine and wless, like white jade, with ravines and peaks intertwined. Though it had only been a glimpse, it was engraved deeply in his memory. ¡°Hiss!¡± Suddenly, his arm was pinched hard. Turning his head, he saw his master ring at him. ¡°Chen¡¯er, what are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Nothing, Master! Disciple is thinking about how to help you subdue the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± ¡°Hmph! Do you believe that yourself?¡± Zhan Lingshuang pursed her lips, then said seriously, ¡°When Xue¡¯er was present just now, I didn¡¯t want to speak about this, but let me warn you¡ªwhatever you saw earlier, you better forget it! Otherwise, you know what I¡¯m capable of!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, Master, rest assured, your disciple truly saw nothing!¡± Yang Chen hurriedly responded. ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhan Lingshuang snorted coldly. If anyone else had dared to spy on her like that, she would have killed them, no matter who they were. However, the one who had spied on her was her only disciple, so she could only issue a warning. After all, she had raised this rebellious disciple since he was young. They continued to dive about forty to fifty meters into the magma when a ball of white light appeared in front of them. The magma surrounding the white light was a mix of red and ck. The ck color was clearly the magma that had been cooled by the Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Profound Deep Cold me!¡± Zhan Lingshuang shouted in a low voice, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement. She immediately circted her true energy, forming arge handprint to grab the me. However, the Profound Deep Cold me seemed to sense the approaching danger and quickly moved to evade the handprint. It even started descending further into the magma. ¡°It can even dodge! As expected of a rare treasure born of heaven and earth! But if you think you can escape from me today, you¡¯re mistaken!¡± Zhan Lingshuang left the protective barrier of Yang Chen¡¯s me and used her true energy to form a protective shield around herself, blocking the raging magma. Then, she directly chased after the Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Master!¡± Yang Chen hurriedly followed, assisting Zhan Lingshuang in blocking the me¡¯s escape. Primordial Fires possessed intelligence, allowing them to sense danger. Moreover, the higher their rank, the greater their intelligence. It was said that the top ten mes on the Primordial Fire Ranking possessed wisdomparable to humans. Although Zhan Lingshuang was a powerful Void Refinement Realm cultivator, she had no experience in subduing Primordial Fires. In this magma-filled world, she couldn¡¯t fully exert her strength, while this ce was the ideal environment for the Profound Deep Cold me. After a while of chasing and blocking, they still couldn¡¯t capture it. Moreover, the Profound Deep Cold me was a high-ranking me, so they couldn¡¯t recklessly attack it with true energy. If they provoked a Primordial Fire¡¯s violent reaction, it could lead to disaster. ¡°How infuriating!¡± Zhan Lingshuang was fuming with frustration. As a Void Refinement Realm cultivator and the undisputed top expert of the Northern Spirit Domain, she couldn¡¯t believe she was being outmaneuvered by a Primordial Fire. ¡°Master, let me give it a try!¡± Yang Chen said at this moment. Zhan Lingshuang said nothing. Several streaks of green me spread out from Yang Chen¡¯s body, moving toward the Profound Deep Cold me. Though Yang Chen also had no experience with capturing Primordial Fires, he knew that Primordial Fires had a natural tendency to devour one another. As the Green Lotus Heavenly me floated around the Profound Deep Cold me, thetter suddenly stopped moving, clearly attracted by the me. Then, the Profound Deep Cold me violently reacted, wrapping around one of the green mes. ¡°Gotcha!¡± A smile crept onto Yang Chen¡¯s face as he began to guide the green mes back toward him. The Profound Deep Cold me followed, moving in their direction. Though it possessed intelligence, it had only just been born, and its instincts were still dominated by its nature as a Primordial Fire. ¡°Well done, Chen¡¯er!¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up with joy. This rebellious disciple was full of cunning ideas¡ªraising him from infancy had not been in vain. Once she refined the Profound Deep Cold me, her strength would surge even further. It would then be time to leave the Northern Spiritual Realm and head to the Central Continent for bigger opportunities. The Profound Deep Cold me had swallowed another wisp of the Green Lotus Heavenly me and hadpletely forgotten the danger. It was now within ten meters of Yang Chen and Zhan Lingshuang. Seeing this, Zhan Lingshuang was about to make her move to capture it when suddenly, a red light shed, wrapping around the Profound Deep Cold me. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 144 Chapter 144 ¡°How bold! You¡¯re courting death!¡± Zhan Lingshuang instantly flew into a rage. After all their hard work, they had been about to seed, only to be interrupted by someone lying in wait, like a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Someone had been hiding nearby all this time and chose this crucial moment to strike, attempting to steal her Profound Deep Cold me. Zhan Lingshuang shed with her sword. The sword energy split into six parts, forming a prison-like structure that sealed the red light inside, trapping it. Yang Chen was equally astonished. He hadn¡¯t expected someone to be hiding within the underground magma without either he or his master detecting it. This person¡¯s concealment technique was indeed impressive. ¡°Die!¡± Zhan Lingshuang coldlymanded as she charged forward, shing out another de of sword energy, aiming to kill the intruder. However, at that moment, the red light red up, breaking through the prison of sword energy. Yang Chen recognized that the red light was, in fact, red mes¡ªanother primordial fire. Moreover, these red mes could manipte the surrounding magma, forming several barriers to barely block Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s sword energy. A seductive figure shed before Yang Chen¡¯s eyes. He was immediately stunned. The figure was none other than ¡­ Yan Hou [Empress Yan/me Empress]. *** ¡°You think you can leave?¡± Seeing the red figure preparing to leave once again, Zhan Lingshuang swung her sword. The sword intent was boundless. The immense power of her Void Refinement cultivation was fully revealed at this moment. The entire magma-filled world was enveloped by her sword intent. des of sharp sword light filled every corner of the surroundings. ¡°sh!¡± The sword light cleaved through the magma barrier, striking the red figure heavily. The red mes in the magma world instantly dissipated, clearly showing that the opponent had suffered severe injuries. The figure was finally revealed¡ªan alluring and enchanting woman dressed in a red gown, resembling a peerless beauty. However, at this moment, a few drops of blood hung from the corners of her lips, carrying a trace of sorrow. ¡°Hmph, overestimating yourself. With such meager strength, you dare to snatch food from the tiger¡¯s mouth?¡± Zhan Lingshuang coldly said, standing with her sword in hand. ¡°Hand over the Profound Deep Cold me, and I might leave you a whole corpse!¡± The Empress Yan did not respond. Her captivating eyes stared at Yang Chen. Yang Chen immediately understood¡ªthe Empress Yan had long noticed him. However, he was more shocked than anything else. Although the Empress Yan wasn¡¯t a match for his master, his master was, after all, a cultivator in the Void Refinement realm with immensebat power. Yet, even capturing the Empress Yan took a considerable effort.@@novelbin@@ Despite relying on the underground magma for assistance, the Empress Yan¡¯s strength was at least in the mid tote stages of the Soul Transformation Realm. How long had it been since he helped her reshape her body? She had already reached such a terrifying level! This woman, it seems, had her own fortuitous encounters during this time. No wonder she was the mentor of the child of destiny¡ªher fortune was as immense as her own. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, it¡¯s been a while!¡± Yang Chen stepped forward with a smile. Zhan Lingshuang was immediately stunned. ¡°Chen¡¯er, you know her?¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Yang Chen replied. ¡°We go way back. We¡¯ve even had a standoff before!¡± Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled slightly. ¡°A standoff?¡± Zhan Lingshuang said indifferently, ¡°Then she must be an enemy.¡± ¡°Yang Chen, stop talking nonsense and spouting filth!¡± The Empress Yan immediately understood, though Zhan Lingshuang didn¡¯t. After all, in the cave, she was the one involved. Naturally, she knew what Yang Chen meant by ¡°standoff.¡± ¡°Senior Empress Yan, we may have a history, but what you¡¯re doing here isn¡¯t right.¡± Yang Chen continued, ¡°We went through so much trouble to lure out the Profound Deep Cold me, and you juste and try to take it. Is that fair?¡± Hearing this, a trace of disdain flickered across the Empress Yan¡¯s face. ¡°I was here long before the Profound Deep Cold me matured. Besides, heavenly treasures are ownerless¡ªwhoever gets it, owns it. Yang Chen, you know this principle well.¡± ¡°Hmph, enough nonsense. Killing you will return it to its rightful owner!¡± Zhan Lingshuang coldly interrupted, gathering her sword intent and preparing to attack again. She was determined to obtain the Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, my master isn¡¯t as easygoing as I am. You¡¯d better hand over the Profound Deep Cold me, or you might not leave here today,¡± Yang Chen warned. ¡°Hmph, if I want to leave, you may not be able to stop me!¡± The Empress Yan snorted arrogantly, forming hand seals with both hands as red light enveloped her. The surrounding space began to ripple. However, the ripplessted only for a moment before the Empress Yan¡¯s face flushed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her aura instantly weakened. ¡°Tch!¡± Zhan Lingshuang sneered disdainfully upon seeing this. ¡°Damn it! If it weren¡¯t for the trouble in my belly, how could I be in this state!¡± The Empress Yan frowned deeply. By this time, Yang Chen had already approached her. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, give me the Profound Deep Cold me, and I promise to let you leave safely,¡± Yang Chen said. ¡°And if I refuse?¡± The Empress Yan¡¯s expression was somewhat provocative. Yang Chen¡¯s face darkened. Although they had a standoff in the past, and he was someone who valued old rtionships, that didn¡¯t mean the Empress Yan could do as she pleased. The Profound Deep Cold me¡ªshe had to hand it over. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, if you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to act against you. However, I advise you to hand over the Profound Deep Cold me. After all, your great revenge is still unfulfilled. I doubt you want to fall here.¡± ¡°You shameless scoundrel!¡± The Empress Yan gritted her teeth. Hearing his words, especially his tone of ¡°you wouldn¡¯t want to,¡±ignited a burning fury within her. This was the same tactic Yang Chen used to force her into submission back then,pelling her to agree to his demands in the cave. This despicable man had defiled her body, once making her agree to give him a taste of her grace in that cave. The Empress Yan had cultivated for ten thousand years and had once been a fire cultivator of immense power, standing at the pinnacle of the world. Yet, she had been vited by this shameless scoundrel. And now, she even had ¡­ Thinking about it, the Empress Yan couldn¡¯t help but touch her abdomen, her gaze filled with me. Although she had sealed that little one, halting its growth, every time she exerted her full strength, the child would drag her down. Sigh ¡­ If it weren¡¯t for that child, she would have already used her spatial secret technique to escape this ce. Chapter 145 Chapter 145 The subtle action of the Empress Yan didn¡¯t escape Yang Chen¡¯s notice, but he didn¡¯t give it much thought. After all, even though their ¡°standoff¡± didn¡¯tst long, it had been several years since then. Yang Chen continued: ¡°Senior Empress Yan, you haven¡¯t cultivated the Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art, have you? In that case, the Profound Deep Cold me isn¡¯t something you absolutely need. You might as well hand it over.¡± The Empress Yan¡¯s expression immediately froze, her face full of disbelief as she looked at Yang Chen. ¡°How do you know about the Myriad mes Celestial Congration Art?¡± ¡°Hehe, Senior Empress Yan, have you forgotten? I¡¯m Yan¡¯er¡¯s stepfather!¡± Yang Chen smiled. ¡°Naturally, Yan¡¯er told me.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± The Empress Yan snorted, her expression changing. Although she hadn¡¯t cultivated the Ten Thousand mes Burning the Heavens, the Profound Deep Cold me was still extremely important to her. If she could refine it, she would possess two different types of primordial fire. This wouldn¡¯t just directly increase her strength; it would also give her an advantage, making her almost unbeatable within her realm. If she ever sought revenge in the future, she would stand a much better chance. How could she simply give it up? At that moment, the Profound Deep Cold me that was under her control suddenly began to stir. White mes started to spread out, breaking through the restrictions she had ced on it. ¡°Damn it!¡± the Empress Yan muttered. Her severe injuries had weakened her control over the me. The Profound Deep Cold me was intelligent and had sensed her weakened state, seizing the opportunity to break free from her restrictions. Now, the Profound Deep Cold me hadpletely fallen into a frenzy. White mes were pouring out uncontrobly. The most feared scenario when trying to tame a primordial fire was this: primordial fires were born of heaven and earth, containing immense primal power. Countless cultivators had perished in the explosions of primordial fires, including many at the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul realms. Even though the Empress Yan possessed Earth Core Red Fire, she didn¡¯t dare to be reckless at this moment. The Empress Yan tried to gather all her strength to reseal the Profound Deep Cold me, but she knew all too well that, in her current state, even if she managed to reseal it, it would only benefit Yang Chen and his master. Rather than help them, she decided ¡­ A ruthless glint shed in her eyes as she released all her restrictions and tossed the Profound Deep Cold me a short distance away. Without the Empress Yan¡¯s restrictions, the Profound Deep Cold me erupted in full force. White mes flooded the entire magma-filled world, turning it into a sea of white, an exotic fire. ¡°Hmph, Yang Chen, you forced me into this! Now that the primordial fire has exploded, no one will be able to take it!¡± the Empress Yan sneered. ¡°Let¡¯s see who can find the origin of the me and refine it first!¡± After saying this, she wrapped herself in Earth Core Red Fire and plunged into the white mes. Zhan Lingshuang, meanwhile, gathered her true qi, forming sixrge hand seals to suppress six different points, attempting to reseal the Profound Deep Cold me. Whoosh! Whoosh!@@novelbin@@ The white mes of the Profound Deep Cold me surged wildly, burning through Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s true qi hand seals. ¡°Damn it!¡± Zhan Lingshuang was filled with frustration. Despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, she was unable to seal a primordial fire. Yang Chen quickly said: ¡°Master, the primordial fire has gone into a frenzy and erupted; it¡¯s toote to seal it now. We must enter the mes and locate the Profound Deep Cold me¡¯s origin. Only by refining the origin can we tame it!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll use the Green Lotus Heavenly me to temporarily shield us from the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Zhan Lingshuang didn¡¯t hesitate. She walked over to Yang Chen, who activated the Green Lotus Heavenly me, enveloping them both in a green me. This protected them from the alternating cold and hot temperatures of the Profound Deep Cold me, and they charged into the sea of white mes. Yang Chen didn¡¯t know where the Profound Deep Cold me¡¯s origin was. His spiritual sense was unable to extend far in the white fire sea, as any spiritual thoughts released were burned by the mes. They could only push forward, enduring the extreme cold and heat. The power of the primordial fire explosion was terrifying, and Yang Chen was experiencing it for the first time. He could only muster all his strength to resist with the Green Lotus Heavenly me, but his true qi was depleting rapidly. If this continued, he wouldn¡¯tst long. Yang Chen turned to Zhan Lingshuang and said: ¡°Master, hold me tight. This way, I can reduce the size of the me shield. Otherwise, my true qi will run out too quickly!¡± ¡°Hold you tight?¡± Zhan Lingshuang was stunned. She then moved a little closer to Yang Chen, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. ¡°Sigh, Master, this isn¡¯t helping! We¡¯re still too spread out, and I¡¯m consuming too much true qi. You need to hold me tightly!¡± Yang Chen urged. ¡°You¡¯re so useless!¡± Zhan Lingshuang sighed in resignation, extending her arms and wrapping them around Yang Chen¡¯s chest, pressing her body tightly against his. Suddenly, a soft sensation spread through Yang Chen¡¯s body. Feeling his master¡¯s body so close to his, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t help but marvel at how remarkable her figure was. Evenpared to Feng Yuwan¡¯s voluptuous form, his master¡¯s figure was notcking in the slightest. It was only because she often wore loose robes that her beauty wasn¡¯t as obvious. If not for that, she would undoubtedly be seen as a captivating beauty as well. Activating his Golden Dragon Eyes, Yang Chen could only see a little over ten meters ahead. Even so, this was a significant advantagepared to the Empress Yan. Finally, after about half an hour, Yang Chen spotted a small white me. It was tiny, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, yet it was clearly separate from the surrounding raging white mes. Yang Chen knew at once that this small white me was the origin of the Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Hiding well, aren¡¯t you? If it weren¡¯t for my sharp eyes, I wouldn¡¯t have found you!¡± Yang Chen grinned as he flew toward it. Sensing Yang Chen¡¯s approach, two tiny me legs sprouted from the white me, and it tried to flee. ¡°Trying to run? Not so easy!¡± While Zhan Lingshuang, lying on Yang Chen¡¯s back, was a Void Refinement cultivator, her powerful spiritual sense waspletely blinded in the sea of white mes, so she didn¡¯t notice the small me. Moreover, lying against her disciple¡¯s back, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a peculiar emotion rising inside her as she felt his broad back and the strong, masculine aura he radiated. Ever since Chen¡¯er was a child, she had taken him to the Xuantian Sect and raised him, always protecting him as his master. But now, it was Chen¡¯er who was protecting her. Her Chen¡¯er had truly grown up. Resting on Yang Chen¡¯s back, even though they were surrounded by the blinding white mes of the primordial fire, Zhan Lingshuang felt a strange peace in her heart. Unable to resist, she rested her head on Yang Chen¡¯s back. Chapter 146 Chapter 146 ¡°Master!?¡± ¡°Master!?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing Yang Chen¡¯s call, Zhan Lingshuang snapped out of her thoughts. A flush of redness crept up her cheeks. Just now, she had unconsciously leaned against Chen¡¯er¡¯s back and even started enjoying it. Zhan Lingshuang, what are you doing? She mentally scolded herself. You are the master who raised Chen¡¯er. How could you act like that? If Chen¡¯er notices, how will you maintain your dignity as his master? ¡°What is it, Chen¡¯er?¡± Zhan Lingshuang asked. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve caught the origin of the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± Yang Chen eximed excitedly. Zhan Lingshuang quickly nced at his hands. A small me with two tiny legs was struggling fiercely, but a green lotus had it securely trapped. Although the Profound Deep Cold me was immensely powerful, its explosion had released so much energy that its origin me had grown weak. Using his Green Lotus Heavenly me, Yang Chen had easily captured it. ¡°This is the origin of the Profound Deep Cold me?¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s beautiful eyes gleamed with excitement as she pushed aside her earlier thoughts. ¡°Master, do you think you can refine and fuse with it in two hours?¡± Yang Chen asked. The Profound Deep Cold me had expended nearly all its power in the explosion. The surrounding area was constantly switching between extreme cold and heat, and Yang Chen¡¯s true qi would onlyst for two more hours. Normally, refining a primordial fire would take days or even months, requiring a cultivator to slowly find and refine the fire¡¯s origin, all while avoiding a potential explosion. However, since the fire had already erupted, the most difficult part¡ªfinding the origin¡ªwas already done. ¡°Two hours is enough!¡± Zhan Lingshuang replied confidently. Seeing the weakened origin me in her hand, she was sure she could refine it in even less time. ¡°Alright, Master, hurry up. I¡¯ll create a safe space for you!¡± Yang Chen said, as he used the green lotus me to shield Zhan Lingshuang, allowing her to focus on refining the origin without any interference from the wild Profound Deep Cold me. ¡°Chen¡¯er really has grown up. He¡¯s always thinking about me, his master,¡± Zhan Lingshuang thought, her heart filled with emotion as she observed Yang Chen¡¯s actions. Although she could hold out for a while using her own strength, she didn¡¯t refuse his help. After all, being protected felt unexpectedly nice. Sitting cross-legged nearby, Yang Chen opened a small gap in the me shield around him, allowing the Profound Deep Cold me to pour in. ¡°Hiss!¡± Immediately, he felt as if his skin was being torn apart, with the sensation of both ice and fire spreading across his body. There was no doubt the Profound Deep Cold me was formidable, ranking 41st on the list of primordial fires. Even though Yang Chen¡¯s physical strength was enough to overpower a Soul Transformation cultivator, facing the primordial fire was still overwhelming. And this was with only a small gap in the shield¡ªif his whole body were exposed to the sea of mes, it would take less than half an hour before he was either burned to ash or frozen solid. ¡°What is Chen¡¯er doing?¡± Zhan Lingshuang suddenly realized Yang Chen¡¯s intention. ¡°So, he¡¯s using the Profound Deep Cold me to temper his body! This kid, he¡¯s really crazy when ites to cultivation! But seeing this makes me feel heartache ¡­¡± Zhan Lingshuang averted her gaze, unable to keep watching. Since childhood, she had raised Chen¡¯er and disciplined him with nothing more than a spanking when necessary. He had never endured such hardships before. However, she also knew that Chen¡¯er had his own path of cultivation, and as his master, she couldn¡¯t interfere too much. An hourter, Zhan Lingshuang sessfully refined the white me into her body. She opened her eyes, revealing two flickering white mes in her gaze. At the same time, the surrounding Profound Deep Cold me began to converge towards her body.@@novelbin@@ At this moment, Yang Chen¡¯s Green Lotus Heavenly me no longer had any effect and dissipated, because Zhan Lingshuang had already refined the origin of the Profound Deep Cold me. In essence, she had be the me. The wild mes in the area were now returning to her body. However, in her excitement over absorbing the primordial fire, Zhan Lingshuang failed to notice that the mes had also disintegrated her robe. Yang Chen, focused on the changes in his own body, hadn¡¯t noticed this either. After an hour of tempering, his physical strength had improved significantly. Meanwhile, Zhan Lingshuang absorbed thest of the Profound Deep Cold me, and her aura surged rapidly. After a long while, all the mes disappeared, and the magma world returned to its original red hue. ¡°It worked! The Profound Deep Cold me truly lives up to its rank of 41st among primordial fires¡ªI¡¯ve broken through by an entire realm! And there¡¯s still a vast amount of energy left inside me. If I refine all of it, my cultivation level will rise even further! With my current swordsmanship and the Profound Deep Cold me, I can even fight mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!¡± Zhan Lingshuang opened her eyes, feeling overjoyed. But then she noticed Yang Chen staring at her with wide eyes. ¡°Chen¡¯er, what are you looking at? Are you shocked by your master¡¯s power?¡± Zhan Lingshuangughed. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged¡ªyou¡¯ll reach my level soon enough!¡± Zhan Lingshuang was quite pleased with Yang Chen¡¯s performance. Despite his rebellious behavior earlier, she had decided to forgive him. At this moment, her eyes were full of a master¡¯s loving care as she took a step toward Yang Chen. Suddenly, Zhan Lingshuang noticed a sh of white light in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes and sensed that something was wrong. She looked down ¡­ She froze in ce. Chapter 147 Chapter 147 She looked down, expecting to see her toes, but instead, she saw a bit of red. ¡°Ah!¡± Zhan Lingshuang let out a sharp scream and quickly turned around. ¡°Chen¡¯er, you are not allowed to look! Close your eyes immediately!¡± As she spoke, she hurriedly retrieved a robe from her storage and draped it over herself. Despite being a powerful Void Refinement realm cultivator with a heart as steadfast as iron, Zhan Lingshuang couldn¡¯t help but feel her heart racing. Her usually fair face now blushed deeply with embarrassment. Just now, in front of Chen¡¯er, she had beenpletely naked, and worse, she hadn¡¯t realized it for such a long time! This is awful! Not only had Chen¡¯er caught a glimpse of her body earlier using his Golden Dragon Eyes, but now he had also stared at her openly for quite some time. How could she, as a master, maintain her dignity in front of her rebellious disciple after this? Zhan Lingshuang was inwardly fuming as she prepared to give Yang Chen a stern warning. But when she turned back, Yang Chen was nowhere to be found. ¡°He ran away? Rebellious disciple, at least you have some sense of decency!¡± Zhan Lingshuang exhaled a sigh of relief. Yang Chen had swiftly fled from the magma world, knowing full well that the scene earlier would be a blow to his master¡¯s pride. Disappearing without a word would at least leave her some dignity. However, a lingering thought crossed his mind: Master really is so fair ¡­ Outside, on the surface, the Fourth Elder rushed forward upon seeing Yang Chen. ¡°Holy Son, how is the Sect Master?¡± ¡°Master has sessfully refined the Profound Deep Cold meand is absorbing the remaining energy. She¡¯ll be out soon,¡± Yang Chen exined, then asked, ¡°Fourth Elder, did you sense any unfamiliar presence emerging from underground just now?¡± ¡°Unfamiliar presence? No, nothing like that,¡± the Fourth Elder responded with certainty. ¡°My spiritual sense has been covering several miles around, and I detected no one. Only the Feng family¡¯s Patriarch and a few elders came by earlier, but they¡¯ve already left.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Yang Chen muttered, feeling puzzled. After his master had absorbed all of the Profound Deep Cold me, he had scanned the magma world with his Golden Dragon Eyes but couldn¡¯t find any trace of the Empress Yan. She wasn¡¯t on the surface either. Could it be that she had already left before his master had absorbed the me? Forget it, no point worrying about her now.It was better that she had left; otherwise, if his master found her, another battle would surely ensue. Sensing that Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s aura was about to emerge from the ground, Yang Chen immediately flew up. ¡°Sect Master!¡± The Fourth Elder greeted her as Zhan Lingshuang surfaced, ¡°Congrattions on refining the Profound Deep Cold me! By the way, the Holy Son suddenly left in a hurry earlier. Is something happening in Ice and Snow city?¡± At this, Zhan Lingshuang pursed her lips. Ice and Snow city? There¡¯s nothing happening there!It was clear Chen¡¯er had rushed off to avoid her. Just thinking about the scene from earlier made her blush again. ¡°Sect Master, the Feng family¡¯s City Lord also came by earlier, inquiring about you,¡± the Fourth Elder continued. ¡°You were old acquaintances, after all. Shall we head to Ice and Snow city now?¡± Zhan Lingshuang frowned slightly. While she did want to take her rebellious disciple away from Feng Yuwan, that old woman, it would be better to wait a few days. She needed time for the turmoil in her heart to settle. She also needed to regain herposure as a master. After all ¡­ sigh ¡­@@novelbin@@ ¡°Xue¡¯er, take me to your n deep in the Falling Snow Mountains,¡± Zhan Lingshuang decided. At the Feng family¡¯s City Lord¡¯s Mansion ¡­ ¡°Brother Chen, did your master return to Xuantian Sect?¡± Feng Yuwan eagerly asked as she approached Yang Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation. ¡°No,¡± Yang Chen shook his head. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± Feng Yuwan scanned the area, her disappointment evident on her face. She pouted and yfully pped Yang Chen¡¯s chest. ¡°This is all your fault! You insisted on doing that! And your master saw us! How am I supposed to face her from now on?¡± Yang Chen pulled her into his arms and teased, ¡°Just face her openly! After all, we¡¯re Daopanions. Doing such things is normal. Besides, you¡¯re already pregnant. I¡¯m just looking out for our child!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡± Feng Yuwan yfully scolded him, though her gaze was filled with affection. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she leaned closer. Yang Chen held her tighter, feeling her soft figure against him. But his mind drifted back to the scene in the magma world. The sight of his master¡¯s fair and graceful figure shed in his mind, causing his blood to stir. Unable to help himself, Yang Chen whispered softly into Feng Yuwan¡¯s ear, ¡°Yuwan ¡­¡± Meanwhile, in Long Tianyu¡¯s residence ¡­ A red symbol shot through the sky andnded in front of Long Tianyu. ¡°The Crimson Dragon Sigil! A message from my father!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s previously gloomy expression was reced with excitement. Forming a unique hand seal, he caught the sigil, which opened to reveal arge, imposing figure. ¡°Tianyu, I¡¯ll be arriving soon! When the family underwent a crisis years ago, I sent you to the Northern Spiritual Realm for your safety. For these past twenty years, you have suffered.¡± Seeing the familiar figure and face of his father, Long Tianyu felt his nose tingle. It had been twenty years. For twenty years, he had endured countless humiliations. He had been forced to marry into the Feng family, where he had lived as a son-inw. He once harbored fantasies about his proud mother-inw, Feng Yuwan, but now that wretched woman was pregnant with that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s child! His proud mother-inw! Pregnant with someone else¡¯s child! Just thinking about it made his blood boil with rage and sorrow. The weight of twenty years of humiliation surged up within him, filling his heart with a burning sense of injustice. Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Feng Yuwan, the woman Long Tianyu once regarded as the unreachable ¡°mother-inw,¡± had always been his untouchable obsession, the deepest dream he clung to for twenty years. Being a live-in son-inw in the Feng family had been a humiliating existence, but this dream had given him the strength to endure. But now, the high and mighty, cold and unparalleled Feng Yuwan was pregnant with Yang Chen¡¯s child.@@novelbin@@ The motivation that had sustained him for two decades instantly shattered. ¡°Wretch! Wretch!¡± Long Tianyu seethed. ¡°You¡¯ve always acted so high and mighty, beating and scolding me whenever you pleased! But you let that bastard Yang Chen get you pregnant! Damn it! The humiliation your Feng family has inflicted on me for the past twenty years¡ªI¡¯ll return it all!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes turned bloodshot with fury. His father would be arriving soon, and with his father¡¯s immense cultivation, he would sweep through the entire Northern Spiritual Realm. Once that happened, he would make every single person in the Feng family repay the humiliation they had forced on him. As for Yang Chen, Long Tianyu vowed that the bastard would die with no ce for burial. The Xuantian Sect would be destroyed, and Ice and Snow City would be razed to the ground. Everyone who knew he had been a son-inw of the Feng family would perish. He would drag Feng Yuwan and Feng Qian Ning, back to the Red Dragon n and torment them endlessly. Only by doing this could he erase the humiliation of the past twenty years. How could the once proud young master of the Red Dragon n, a noble family of Central Continent, allow himself to be humiliated by these people? Therge figure in the message continued, ¡°Tianyu, the Red Dragon Soul within the Dragon Blood Jade should have awakened by now, right? You should have gained recognition from the elder.¡± ¡°Twenty years have passed, and with the True Dragon Blood flowing in your veins and the family¡¯s sacred Dragon Blood Jade in hand, the n elders will undoubtedly recognize you as the young n master once you return. Tianyu, wait for me!¡± As the image of his father faded, Long Tianyu¡¯s heart sank. The Dragon Blood Jade, the sacred heirloom of the Red Dragon n, had already been taken by that bastard Yang Chen. But that was fine. Once his father arrived, they would snatch it back from Yang Chen. He would make Yang Chen kneel before him, begging for mercy, calling him ¡°Grandfather¡± a hundred times. As Long Tianyu stewed in his thoughts, the door to his room was suddenly kicked open. Feng Yunhai swaggered in, hands sped behind his back, his head held high with a mocking grin. ¡°Long Tianyu, didn¡¯t Qian Ning already tell you to move out? Why are you still shamelessly staying here?¡± Feng Yunhai taunted, eyes gleaming with malice. ¡°Do you enjoy being stomped under my foot so much that you want another round?¡± Behind Feng Yunhai, several Feng family disciples followed, allughing mockingly at Long Tianyu. Seeing Feng Yunhai, Long Tianyu clenched his fists tightly. If there was anyone in the Feng family he hated most besides Yang Chen, it was this bastard standing in front of him. Feng Yunhai had insulted and humiliated him countless times. Damn it. Long Tianyu gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to punch Feng Yunhai in the face. But he restrained himself. His father had yet to arrive, and without the Dragon Blood Jade, his mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, no matter how extraordinary his talent, was no match for these people. ¡°Feng Yunhai, Qian Ning and I are husband and wife. This is between us; it¡¯s none of your business,¡± Long Tianyu said, trying to keep his tone calm. Recently, Feng Qian Ning had unexpectedly asked him to move out, but he had refused. After all, they were married. What sense did it make for them to live separately? He never imagined that Feng Yunhai woulde to meddle. ¡°Husband and wife? Hah!¡± Feng Yunhai sneered, full of disdain. ¡°Long Tianyu, take a good look at yourself! Do you really think you¡¯re worthy of calling Qian Ning your wife? My aunt, Feng Yuwan, is already in the mid-stage Soul Transformation Realm. Not only is she a top-tier cultivator in Ice and Snow City, but in the entire Northern Spiritual Realm as well! Qian Ning is the young mistress of our Feng family. How could she possibly live with trash like you? Oh, and by the way, Qian Ning has already informed the City Lord. She¡¯s going to annul your marriage!¡± Feng Yunhai added smugly. ¡°You¡¯d better start packing. You¡¯ll be thrown out of the Feng family today!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Feng Yunhai burst outughing, while hisckeys chimed in with sneers and jeers: ¡°A useless son-inw, like a dog¡ªhe should have been kicked out long ago!¡± ¡°Exactly! The Feng family is now one of the top powers in the Northern Spiritual Realm. How could we tolerate a son-inw like him?¡± ¡°When this loser gets thrown out, we should go have some fun with him on the streets!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± As theirughter rang in his ears, Long Tianyu clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. His eyes burned with murderous intent, but once again, he held himself back. A smirk formed on his lips. You fools, you¡¯re all as good as dead.He was the young master of the Red Dragon n. Why should he stoop to the level of these insects? Meanwhile, Feng Qian Ning, wrapped in a snow-white robe, arrived at Feng Yuwan¡¯s pce. She had made up her mind. She would annul her marriage with Long Tianyu, even if the Holy Son, Yang Chen, wanted to maintain their marriage. She was determined to divorce Long Tianyu. Recently, Long Tianyu had be unbearable, barging into her room several times under the guise of having something important to say. But Feng Qian Ning wasn¡¯t fooled¡ªshe knew exactly what he was trying to do: taking advantage of her. Herst bit of pity for him had evaporated, and most importantly, every time she thought about how Long Tianyu¡¯s presence had caused Yang Chen to abandon her and choose to marry her mother instead, she was filled with regret. Why had she agreed to her grandfather¡¯s dying wish and married Long Tianyu? If she hadn¡¯t agreed, maybe it would be her by Yang Chen¡¯s side now. Resolute in her decision, Feng Qian Ning headed straight for her mother¡¯s chambers. The pce¡¯s protective array didn¡¯t block her, being Feng Yuwan¡¯s only daughter. She walked in without hesitation. ¡°Mother!¡± Feng Qian Ning was about to call out, but a strange sound reached her ears. She followed the noise into a room. Inside, she heard a muffled voice, as if someone¡¯s mouth had been covered, trying to speak but unable to make a sound. Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Hearing the muffled soundsing from inside the room, Feng Qian Ning was immediately puzzled. She walked closer to the door and was about to press her ear against it to listen when, suddenly, the door swung open. Feng Yuwan froze in surprise. She hadn¡¯t expected her daughter to be standing right outside the door. Thank goodness ¡­ thank goodness ¡­she thought with immense relief. Luckily, she hadn¡¯t made any loud noises earlier. Qian Ning shouldn¡¯t have overheard anything. Subconsciously touching her lips, Feng Yuwan asked in a stern tone, ¡°Qian Ning, is there something you need?¡± As soon as she spoke, she regretted it. Her voice sounded wrong¡ªhoarse, raspy. ¡°Mother, what happened to your voice?¡± Feng Qian Ning asked immediately. ¡°Why does it sound so hoarse?¡± Thinking back to the earlier ¡°intense¡± moment, Feng Yuwan blushed slightly and quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. The weather has been a bit dry these days, so my throat is a little hoarse.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Feng Qian Ning said, her face still full of doubt. How could it be dry in Ice and Snow City? The city¡¯s air was always cold and moist. And considering her mother¡¯s cultivation at the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, such trivial conditions shouldn¡¯t affect her at all. Noticing her daughter¡¯s skeptical look, Feng Yuwan inwardly cursed herself for such a poor excuse. Her cheeks reddened even more as she mentally med a certain someone: That damn brat! He¡¯s gotten me into trouble again!@@novelbin@@ However, Feng Qian Ning didn¡¯t dwell on the topic any longer. Instead, she said, ¡°Mother, I¡¯ve decided to annul my marriage to Long Tianyu!¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Feng Yuwan was momentarily stunned but quickly cleared her throat and said, ¡°You¡¯ve finallye to your senses! You should¡¯ve annulled your marriage to that worthless man long ago! I still don¡¯t understand what your grandfather was thinking, insisting that you marry him. I should have put my foot down back then!¡± But as she spoke, Feng Yuwan suddenly paused. A thought crossed her mind: If I had been firmer in rejecting Qian Ning¡¯s marriage to Long Tianyu back then, would there have been a chance between me and Brother Chen? Wouldn¡¯t it be Qian Ning standing by Brother Chen¡¯s side today instead of me? In that case, Long Tianyu hadn¡¯t been entirely useless; in a way, he had indirectly brought her and Brother Chen together. ¡°Mother? Mother?¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s voice snapped Feng Yuwan back to reality. Her face flushed again, but this time her gaze softened with a hint of guilt as she gently stroked Qian Ning¡¯s hair. ¡°Qian Ning, you¡¯re my only daughter. One day, you¡¯ll inherit Ice and Snow City. It¡¯s time to get rid of Long Tianyu as your husband. It doesn¡¯t make sense for the future leader of our city to be tied to such a useless man. I¡¯ll call a meeting of the elders right now and publicly expel him from the Feng family!¡± Feeling her mother¡¯s affection, Feng Qian Ning nced at Feng Yuwan¡¯s belly and yfully poked it. ¡°Mother, I¡¯m not your only daughter! There¡¯s another one on the way, remember?¡± she teased, giggling. ¡°You cheeky girl!¡± Feng Yuwan scolded her jokingly,ughing. ¡°How do you know it¡¯s a daughter? It could be a son!¡± ¡°Mother, did you forget? Our Ice Phoenix bloodline is unique! Once the bloodline awakens in the mother, the chances of having a daughter are much higher than having a son!¡± ¡°Hmph, look at you, so knowledgeable now!¡± Feng Yuwan said with a smile, her gaze softening even more. She gently caressed her belly. In truth, she was hoping for a son, believing that giving Brother Chen a son would solidify her position even more. After all, the most passionate way to love a man was to bear him a son, right? At that moment, Yang Chen walked out of the room with a warm smile. ¡°So, Qian Ning¡¯s here?¡± Seeing him, Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes momentarily zed over before she quickly bowed. ¡°Qian Ning greets the Holy Son!¡± Yang Chen waved his hand casually. ¡°Qian Ning, we¡¯re all family here. No need for formalities. Just call me Father, or Uncle Yang.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Feng Qian Ning nodded, but she couldn¡¯t bring herself to call him ¡°Uncle Yang¡± aloud. At this point, Feng Yuwan interjected, ¡°Brother Chen, Qian Ning has decided to annul her marriage to Long Tianyu. You don¡¯t object, do you?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Yang Chen responded immediately, having overheard their conversation earlier. So, Long Tianyu¡¯s father ising to Ice and Snow City, and now Qian Ning wants to annul her marriage ¡­He smirked. This is shaping up to be a ssic scenario for some dramatic face-pping. ________________________________________ Inside the City Lord¡¯s mansion¡¯s council hall, Feng Yuwan had freshened up and changed into an elegant dark green pce gown, perfectly entuating her graceful and voluptuous figure. Her long hair was styled into an exquisite phoenix bun, adding an air of nobility and sanctity to her appearance. Below her, on the ground, Long Tianyu was kneeling, his shoulders pressed down by Feng Yunhai, preventing him from standing up. As he gazed at Feng Yuwan on the high tform, who looked like a goddess descended from the heavens, his heart seethed with rage. Wretched woman!he cursed silently. Ever since she got pregnant with that bastard Yang Chen¡¯s child, she¡¯s been dressing up more and more! Long Tianyu swallowed hard, lust and hatred shing in his eyes. When his father arrived, he would make sure her cultivation was crippled, and then he would force her to wear a different pce gown every day, just to degrade her even further. Feng Yuwan¡¯s cold voice echoed through the hall, ¡°I have decided to annul Long Tianyu¡¯s marriage to Qian Ning and expel him from the Feng family. From this moment forward, the Feng family has no ties to Long Tianyu whatsoever!¡± Her beautiful eyes nced at Long Tianyu with nothing but disdain, as if she were looking at an insect. But this look only fueled the twisted excitement in Long Tianyu¡¯s mind. His father would be arriving any moment now, and his fortunes would soon reverse. Feng Yuwan¡¯s haughty expression only served to ignite his desire to conquer her. Just wait, Feng Yuwan! I¡¯ll make you kneel before me andpletely dominate you! Several Feng family elders began to chime in: ¡°Master is wise! Long Tianyu is not worthy of staying in our Feng family!¡± ¡°Qian Ning, as the sole heir to the Feng family and Ice and Snow City, deserves a far better husband than this useless son-inw!¡± ¡°Indeed! Qian Ning has awakened the Ice Phoenix bloodline, and she¡¯s destined to reach the Soul Transformation Realm soon. A mere mudfish is not fit to dance with a phoenix!¡± Mockingughter echoed through the hall. No one gave Long Tianyu, the despised son-inw, any respect. But at that moment, Yang Chen suddenly heard a voice in his ear from Linglong: ¡°Master, he¡¯s here.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Yang Chen raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze towards the entrance of the hall. In that instant, a deep, thunderous voice exploded inside the hall: ¡°A mudfish paired with a phoenix? How dare you ants insult my son!¡± As the words fell, the Nascent Soul elder who had spoken about the mudfish and phoenix exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Chapter 150 Chapter 150 ¡°Elder Yu Jie!¡± A Nascent Soul Realm elder of the Feng family instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist. This scene stunned everyone present. Then, the crowd saw it. A burly middle-aged man, d in a scarlet dragon robe, stood next to Long Tianyu. ¡°Father!¡± Seeing this familiar figure, Long Tianyu could no longer hold back his emotions. His eyes turned red, and his voice choked with emotion. It had been twenty years. After twenty long years, he finally saw his father again. After enduring twenty years of humiliation, today, he could finally avenge his shame.@@novelbin@@ ¡°Don¡¯t cry!¡± The burly middle-aged man sternly rebuked: ¡°As a descendant of the Red Dragon family, we fight the world! As my son, Long Aohuan¡¯s son, you are allowed to bleed, but never to shed tears!¡± ¡°Yes, Father!¡± Long Tianyu responded excitedly. His father was just as he had been twenty years ago, still just as majestic and domineering. His voice carried the aura of invincibility, a presence that could sweep across the world. Long Tianyu stood up and walked toward Long Aohuan. ¡°Twenty years!¡± ¡°Yu¡¯er, where is your guard, Elder Zhang?¡± Upon hearing this, Long Tianyu¡¯s expression darkened, and he looked at Yang Chen on the high tform with hatred: ¡°Father, Elder Zhang was killed by that bastard! The humiliation I¡¯ve suffered is all thanks to him! Even the Dragon Blood Jade was snatched away by that bastard! I must tear him to pieces to relieve my hatred! And these bastards here, they all deserve to die!¡± Sensing the deep resentment in Long Tianyu¡¯s heart, Long Aohuan patted his shoulder,forting him: ¡°It¡¯s alright, Yu¡¯er! Your father is here, and everything can be resolved! A mere first stage Soul Transformation ant, just a bigger bug. I can kill him with a flick of my hand!¡± As he spoke, Long Aohuan nced toward the high tform. But his gaze only swept over Yang Chen before moving on. It finally stopped on Feng Yuwan. Clearly, a mature and graceful beauty like Feng Yuwan, who was at the Fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, was much more captivating. At this moment, Feng Yuwan, the head of the Feng family, wore an especially dark expression. Murderous intent gathered in her beautiful eyes. An elder of the Nascent Soul Realm had died right in front of her, his body destroyed. As the head of the Feng family, how could she let this go? ¡°You ughtered my Feng family elder so wantonly. Isn¡¯t this a bit too reckless?¡± Feng Yuwan shouted coldly. ¡°Reckless? Hahaha!¡± Long Aohuan immediatelyughed. Hisughter was like a dragon¡¯s roar, booming and deafening. Some of the Feng family¡¯s juniors in the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment realms clutched their heads, dropping to their knees from the overwhelming sound. Even the elders in the Nascent Soul Realm broke out in cold sweat, clearly distressed. ¡°A mere Nascent Soul, an ant-like creature, killed, and that¡¯s that! Besides, insulting my son is a crime worthy of death!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s tone was exceedingly overbearing. ¡°Arrogant!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s face was frosty. Her energy surged. She directly thrust out her palm. Her energy instantly formed a massive handprint, mming heavily toward Long Aohuan. ¡°Break!¡± But Long Aohuan merely raised two fingers and pointed at the sky. The energy handprint instantly dissolved. ¡°What!?¡± Feng Yuwan was shocked. She had already sensed that the strength of the person before her was not to be underestimated, so she hadn¡¯t held back in her attack. Yet her full-force strike was so easily neutralized? ¡°In this Northern Spiritual Realm, far from Central Continent, where the spiritual energy is so scarce, reaching the Fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm is no easy feat! And you also possess the Ice Phoenix bloodline, with such a high concentration that the Ice Phoenix shadow is already manifesting on your body! Not bad, not bad! I can give your family a chance to survive! As long as you swear loyalty to my Red Dragon family and marry me as my concubine, I will spare you and your family!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s gaze swept over Feng Yuwan¡¯s mature and graceful figure, and a glint of desire shed in his eyes. Such a rare beauty would be hard to find even in the Central Continent. Moreover, when Feng Yuwan attacked earlier, the shadow of the Ice Phoenix had faintly appeared around her. And at the center of her brows, there was even a faint blue Ice Phoenix mark. These were signs that her Ice Phoenix bloodline was exceptionally pure. All of this clearly piqued Long Aohuan¡¯s interest. However, Long Tianyu, standing beside him, was utterly stunned by his father¡¯s words. Feng Yuwan was his coveted woman! Even if it was his father, he couldn¡¯t just im her! But before he could speak, Feng Yuwan¡¯s face turned furious: ¡°Bastard, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a phoenix cry echoed through the grand hall. Blue energy surged from Feng Yuwan¡¯s body. She herself transformed into a giant blue Ice Phoenix. In the grand hall, the temperature plummeted. The ground was instantly covered in ayer of ice. ¡°Excellent, the strength of your bloodline has reached such a stage that you can transform into the Ice Phoenix itself! If we were to have children, their bloodline would surely be extraordinary!¡± Long Aohuan looked at the blue phoenix charging toward him, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He had originally nned to send a subordinate to the Northern Spiritual Realm to bring back Yu¡¯er, but fortunately, he came personally. Otherwise, he would¡¯ve missed out on this peerless beauty. If he could subdue a Phoenix with such a pure bloodline, his life would beplete. When the Dragon and Phoenix united, it would be a marvel in the mortal world. Perhaps through this, he might even break through the final barrier and reach the Void Refinement Realm. Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Long Aohuan looked at the charging blue phoenix and directly swung his fist. ¡°Get down before me!¡± A dragon¡¯s roar resounded. This punch carried immense power, as if it harnessed the force of heaven and earth. It formed a crimson fist imprint thatnded squarely on Feng Yuwan¡¯s phoenix body. Boom! Even though Feng Yuwan had transformed into her phoenix form, she still couldn¡¯t withstand the punch. She was knocked flying. When she hit the ground, the blue radiance around her flickered, and she reverted to her human form. Her face was pale, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. ¡°How is this possible?!¡± Feng Yuwan was truly shocked this time. In her phoenix form, both her offensive and defensive capabilities had greatly increased. Yet, she couldn¡¯t even take a single punch from him. ¡°Mother!¡± Feng Qian Ning hurried over to her mother¡¯s side to support her. ¡°You must be the wife my son married in the Northern Spiritual Realm, right? Not bad, not bad. You also have the Ice Phoenix bloodline! You¡¯re barely worthy of my son. You and your mother should both marry into the Red Dragon family together! This is your fortune! From now on, you can leave this deste Northern Spiritual Realm and go to the vast Central Continent.¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s gaze swept over Feng Qian Ning, and he nodded with satisfaction. The mother was mature, graceful, and noble. The daughter was tall, elegant, and coldly beautiful. This mother-daughter pair was truly exceptional, rare gems of the world. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the daughter was already married to his son, he wouldn¡¯t have minded taking them both. ¡°Haha, to think that even in the tiny Northern Spiritual Realm, such rare beauties exist. This trip has been well worth it!¡± Long Aohuanughed wildly without any restraint. With his strength, he wouldn¡¯t dare act like this in Central Continent. But in what he considered this remote and backward Northern Spiritual Realm, he saw himself as invincible, fearing nothing. ¡°You damn bastard, I will kill you!¡± Feng Yuwan gritted her teeth, seething with hatred. She wanted to strike again. But as soon as she circted her energy, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth again. Her face paled even more. ¡°To have survived a punch from me, you should already count yourself lucky! ept your fate quietly. From now on, your only path to survival is to serve me!¡± Long Aohuan spoke with disdain. He was only a step away from reaching the Void Refinement Realm. In his battles across Central Continent, he had killed dozens of experts in thete and peak stages of the Soul Transformation Realm. For someone at the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm to survive his full-force punch was already remarkable. The elders of the Feng family were all seething with anger, but fearing Long Aohuan¡¯s overwhelming strength, they could only suppress their rage, their eyes burning with hatred. Long Tianyu watched all of this unfold. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of satisfaction. This was the benefit of having great strength. His father alone could easily defeat the proud Feng Yuwan. He even made the entire Feng family tremble in fear. Long Tianyu walked over to Feng Qian Ning with his head held high and looked down at her: ¡°Feng Qian Ning, do you regret it now?¡± ¡°Regret?¡± Feng Qian Ning raised her head, her beautiful eyes locking onto Long Tianyu. In her gaze, there was no longer the pity or disdain of the past. Instead, there was deep, murderous intent. She did indeed regret it. She regretted not killing this bastard sooner. Over the past twenty years, although Long Tianyu had been a live-in son-inw in the Feng family, she had not treated him poorly. Whenever he was bullied by the family¡¯s disciples, she would step in to save him. But today, the moment his father arrived, he ughtered a Nascent Soul Realm elder and injured her mother. Not only that, but they wanted her and her mother to serve both father and son in exchange for the survival of their family. Despicable! Ungrateful bastard! Feng Qian Ning clenched her teeth, ring at Long Tianyu with hatred. Long Tianyu naturally felt the anger and killing intent radiating from her, but he was not afraid. If this had been before, he might have tried to exin himself.@@novelbin@@ But now, his father was here and even a powerful woman like Feng Yuwan was no match for his father. Haha. In this Ice and Snow city, there was no need for him to pretend anymore, nor did he need to curry favor with anyone. He coldly said: ¡°I told you long ago, the Northern Spiritual Realm is small, but Central Continent is vast! My Red Dragon family is renowned and revered in Central Continent! Your Feng family has humiliated me time and again. Today, you will pay the price! Feng Qian Ning, if you are willing to serve me, I may ask my father to spare some of your Feng family¡¯s bloodline!¡± ¡°Spare me! Never!¡± Feng Qian Ning¡¯s eyes were icy as she coldly responded. She would rather die than submit. At this moment, a Nascent Soul Peak elder of the Feng family couldn¡¯t hold back and angrily shouted: ¡°Long Tianyu, even though you are our family¡¯s live-in son-inw, our Feng family has fed and housed you for twenty years! Is this how you and your father repay us? With treachery?¡± ¡°Oh? Treachery?¡± Long Aohuan turned to look at the elder, a sneer appearing on his face. ¡°Daring to make my son a live-in son-inw is a crime worthy of death. Your entire n deserves extermination! You ant-like creature, how dare you bark in front of me! Die!¡± As soon as Long Aohuan finished speaking, he pointed his finger. Boom! A crimson pir of light shot toward the elder, shattering his body into pieces. A blue Nascent Soul frantically tried to flee from the hall. ¡°Hmph!¡± Long Aohuan snorted coldly. ¡°A mere Nascent Soul peak ant. Your life-saving techniques are decent. But you¡¯ll still die!¡± As he spoke, Long Aohuan pointed his finger again. However, this time, a stone tablet surging with demonic energy appeared, blocking the crimson light. Boom! The stone tablet descended, crushing the crimson pir of light. ¡°Oh?¡± Long Aohuan was surprised. His gaze turned to Yang Chen on the high tform. He hadn¡¯t expected that a mere first-stage Soul Transformation ant could block one of his attacks. He had underestimated this guy earlier. That stone tablet, surging with demonic energy, was definitely a remarkable divine ability. To think that such a powerful technique existed in this deste Northern Spiritual Realm. This trip was indeed proving to be more rewarding than he had imagined. After capturing this ant, he would simply search his soul. If he obtained that divine ability, his strength would surely advance even further. Yang Chen stood on the high tform, his gaze amused as he watched the father and son below unting their arrogance. By now, the tension had been built up, and the hatred was palpable. Their posturing was about toe to an end. It was time to send Yu¡¯er¡¯s father on his way. Chapter 152 Chapter 152 ¡°Isn¡¯t it a bit too tyrannical to casually ughter the elders of the Feng family?¡± Yang Chen looked at Long Aohuan and said indifferently. ¡°Tyrannical? Hmph, that¡¯s how I always conduct myself! Since you¡¯ve stepped forward, I¡¯ll kill you first! And I¡¯ll do it to give my son some satisfaction!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s gaze was sweeping and unstoppable. Even though Yang Chen had blocked one of his strikes earlier, Long Aohuan didn¡¯t take him seriously. To him, a first-stage Soul Transformation cultivator was just a slightly bigger ant. ¡°Father, it¡¯s this bastard! This scum! I want to cut him into a thousand pieces! Don¡¯t kill him outright, cripple his cultivation. I want to torture him slowly!¡± Seeing Yang Chen, Long Tianyu¡¯s face contorted with madness. ¡°Long Tianyu, if it weren¡¯t for the Holy Son sparing your life multiple times, you would have died countless times already! You ungrateful bastard!¡± Feng Qian Ning shouted angrily. However, these words struck a nerve in Long Tianyu. ¡°Feng Qian Ning, you¡¯re just like your mother, Feng Yuwan¡ªboth sluts, both lowly sluts! Are you trying to crawl into Yang Chen¡¯s bed too? Haha, well, you won¡¯t get the chance! I¡¯m going to cripple Yang Chen¡¯s cultivation, and then I¡¯ll enjoy you in front of him!¡± Long Tianyu¡¯s eyes were filled with sinister madness. ¡°What did you say, you bastard?!¡± Feng Qian Ning trembled with fury. At that moment, Long Aohuan punched toward Yang Chen. Roar!A dragon¡¯s roar echoed. A Red dragon materialized. ¡°Be careful, Brother Chen!¡± Feng Yuwan shouted in rm when she saw this, quickly gathering her energy to help Yang Chen block the strike. She knew the power behind that punch. Even in her phoenix form, she couldn¡¯t withstand it. However, Yang Chen remained calm, standing still. Behind him, a Red-golden figure appeared, and it also punched forward.@@novelbin@@ Boom! The two fists collided. Energy surged wildly. The entire grand hall copsed into ruins. ¡°What?!¡± Long Aohuan was shocked. His full-force punch had been blocked. The energy dissipated. A young girl with dragon horns stood in front of Yang Chen, her aura overwhelming. Red-golden dragon energy swirled around her. ¡°Soul Transformation Realm, tenth stage?!¡± Long Aohuan was in disbelief. In this deste Northern Spiritual Realm, such a powerful figure existed? As he focused on the dragon-horned girl, a hint of familiarity crept into his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes widened. ¡°You are the Red Dragon True Soul from the Dragon Blood Jade?!¡± ¡°Correct!¡± Linglong nodded slightly. The Dragon Blood Jade faintly appeared at her brow. After she had constructed her physical body, Yang Chen had given her the Dragon Blood Jade. The Dragon Blood Jade had been formed from her dragon body and blood in her past life, and her current dragon soul had been nourished and condensed within it. One could say the Dragon Blood Jade was her birthce. Long Aohuan¡¯s expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice: ¡°Senior, now that you¡¯ve reconstructed your physical body, why do you assist this person? Have you forgotten that my Red Dragon family has nurtured you for over a hundred thousand years?¡± ¡°Your Red Dragon family¡¯s nurturing?¡± Linglong¡¯s face was full of disdain. ¡°A group of humans with diluted dragon blood dares to im they¡¯ve nurtured me? You think you¡¯re worthy of nurturing me? Without me, do you think your Red Dragon family would have the bloodline strength it has today? Without me, would your Red Dragon family have what it does now?¡± At this moment, Linglong¡¯s face radiated with the pride of a true dragon. Unlike Yang Chen, who had taken care of her, she was a pure-blooded dragon despite having used Yang Chen¡¯s blood to construct her physical body. She utterly looked down on the Red Dragon family, with its diluted bloodline. ¡°Diluted bloodline of the Red Dragon family?¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s face darkened, his eyes fixed on Linglong. A bold idea formed in his mind. If the Red Dragon True Soul had formed a physical body, it meant she was a pure-blooded true dragon. If he could devour her, wouldn¡¯t his own bloodline strengthen immensely? In that case, by consuming her, he could immediately step into the Void Refinement Realm. Excellent, excellent. ¡°Since you are ungrateful, I will y you today! I will use you as the nourishment for my breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s eyes turned ferocious. He immediately shot into the air, forming hand seals. Red pirs of light descended from the sky. In mere moments, thirty-six Red pirs of light had formed. They resembled a prison, trapping Linglong and Yang Chen within. ¡°Tch!¡± Linglong was unbothered and said to Yang Chen: ¡°Master, this is the same technique I taught to their ancestor of the Red Dragon family! I didn¡¯t expect they would use it against me today!¡± As she spoke, Linglong transformed into a massive Red-golden dragon. Roar! The dragon coiled and surged forward, shattering all the pirs. ¡°What?!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s pupils contracted. The thirty-six Red pirs were the Red Dragon family¡¯s signature divine ability. In the past, it had been invincible in battle, capable of suppressing anything! But now, it was so easily destroyed. Before Long Aohuan could react, the Red-golden dragon charged at him. ¡°No!¡± Long Aohuan hurriedly tried to dodge. But he was too slow. The dragon¡¯s tail whipped him. Thud! Long Aohuan was sent flying by the blow, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood. His earlier arrogance was nowpletely shattered. ¡°How ¡­ how can this be?!¡± Long Aohuan couldn¡¯t believe it. He was just a step away from the Void Refinement Realm. Ordinary tenth-stage Soul Transformation cultivators couldn¡¯t evene close to challenging him. But against this Red Dragon True Soul, he was seriously injured with just one strike. Yang Chen was equally astonished. He hadn¡¯t expected Linglong to be so powerful. It seemed that merging with his ancient divine dragon blood to construct her physical body had greatly boosted her strength. Moreover, after constructing her physical body, her consciousness and intelligence had also grown immensely. Herbat instincts had improved significantly. The members of the Feng family were overjoyed. They hadn¡¯t expected the Holy Son to have such a powerful ally by his side. ¡°Father, defeated?¡± Long Tianyu stood frozen in ce, his eyes wide. His invincible father, defeated? How was that possible? When his father came to the Northern Spiritual Realm, he was supposed to be unbeatable! ¡°Yu¡¯er, we must go!¡± Long Aohuan rushed to Long Tianyu¡¯s side, grabbed him, and prepared to flee. From the earlier battle, he was certain that he was no match for the Red Dragon True Soul. Having constructed a physical body, she was a pure-blooded true dragon. Even if her realm was lower than his, herbat strength was overwhelming. The only solution was to break through to the Void Refinement Realm before he could hope to devour her. However, as Long Aohuan and Long Tianyu flew into the air, a white chain suddenly shot toward them from the horizon. The white chain seemed to be made of fire, wrapping around Long Aohuan. ¡°Damn it! Break!¡± Long Aohuan didn¡¯t expect that there was another hidden expert nearby. Red dragon phantoms burst forth, trying to shatter the chain. But when the dragon phantoms touched the chain, the white mes burned them into nothing. ¡°What?!¡± Long Aohuan could no longer remain calm. He tried to escape with Long Tianyu, but it was toote. The white chain pierced through the Red dragon phantoms and wrapped around him. ¡°Ahh!¡± Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Long Aohuan¡¯s face twisted in agony. The mes on the chain were both scorching hot and bone-chilling cold. His skin began to blister and char, turning ck in an instant. ¡°Damn it! This is a primordial fire! It¡¯s the Profound Deep Cold me!¡± Long Aohuan instantly recognized it. Unable to hide his panic, he shouted: ¡°Who are you? I am Long Aohuan, head of the Red Dragon family in Central Continent! If you let me go, I will reward you generously!¡± Long Aohuan knew that whoever had struck must be just as powerful as him. Moreover, the person controlled a primordial fire. He had no choice but to beg for mercy. ¡°Hmph, softening up already? Weren¡¯t you quite arrogant just a moment ago?¡± A mocking voice rang out. At the end of the chain stood Zhan Lingshuang, wearing a loose Taoist robe, walking forward slowly. *** In the sky. A chain of white mes tightly wrapped around the previously invincible Long Aohuan. No matter how much Long Aohuan struggled, he couldn¡¯t break free. Moreover, the white mes continued to spread across his body. He had no choice but to drop Long Tianyu from the air. Otherwise, if even a trace of those white mes reached Long Tianyu, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant. Zhan Lingshuang stepped through the void, slowly approaching. Her body radiated an overwhelmingly powerful aura, which utterly stunned Long Aohuan. ¡°You¡¯re in the Void Refinement Realm! A Void Refinement cultivator! Impossible! The Northern Spiritual Realm is such a deste region; how could it possibly produce a Void Refinement cultivator?¡± Long Aohuan found it hard to believe. He had trained and fought across the Central Continent for thousands of years, yet he still hadn¡¯t broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. But here, in this remote Northern Spiritual Realm, a Void Refinement cultivator had emerged. ¡°Why can¡¯t a Void Refinement cultivatore from a deste region? You couldn¡¯t achieve it simply because you¡¯re trash!¡± Zhan Lingshuang said disdainfully. She had always been proud of her talent. After all, even in the Central Continent, it was rare for anyone to reach the Void Refinement Realm within just over a thousand years. Long Aohuan, after a brief moment of shock, quickly regained hisposure. He understood very well that the other party not only possessed the terrifyingly powerful Profound Deep Cold me but also had a cultivation level far superior to his. The chains of mes binding him were impossible to break free from. Escape was out of the question now. At this moment, the only option was to preserve his life. He hurriedly said, ¡°Friend, your talent is unparalleled. To break through to the Void Refinement Realm in the Northern Spiritual Realm is truly impressive! If you evere to the Central Continent, your cultivation will surely ascend to even greater heights! At that time, you would be wee as a guest of my Red Dragon Family! I am the current head of the Red Dragon Family. My father, the Red Dragon Family¡¯s patriarch, like you, is also a Void Refinement cultivator!¡± However, Zhan Lingshuang merely curled her lip in disdain at these words, and without hesitation, pped him directly. Her true energy condensed into a palm in the air, striking Long Aohuan¡¯s face. p! Even though Long Aohuan was just one step away from the Void Refinement Realm and possessed the powerful Red Dragon bloodline, his body, though tough, still couldn¡¯t withstand the blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, with several teeth flying out in the process. ¡°Hmph, who do you think you are? Do you really deserve to call me ¡®friend¡¯?¡± Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s face was full of contempt. Damn it! Long Aohuan felt the burning pain on his cheek, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with killing intent. He, Long Aohuan, had cultivated for thousands of years and fought across all regions. He was always the one pping others; when had anyone ever pped him? And in front of his son, no less. His dignity was shattered. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far! Just because you¡¯ve reached the Void Refinement Realm, don¡¯t think you can disregard everything! My Red Dragon Family¡¯s patriarch has been in the Void Refinement Realm for thousands of years! Moreover, many of our allied forces also have Void Refinement cultivators! If they join forces, even you will meet your end here!¡± Long Aohuan said in a low voice. These words, however, only made Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s eyes sh with a trace of killing intent. ¡°You still dare to threaten me? You must have a death wish!¡± In Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s eyes, two clusters of ghostly white mes flickered. With a wave of her hand, several more chains of mes appeared. They directly pierced through Long Aohuan¡¯s chest and abdomen. One chain even prated straight through the top of Long Aohuan¡¯s skull. Bright red blood instantly gushed out, spilling down from the sky. ¡°Ah! Ah! Damn it! I will kill you!¡± Long Aohuan roared, his voice filled with hysteria. His shout echoed throughout the Ice and Snow City. But he was utterly powerless to break free from the fiery chains. He could only allow the chains to pierce through his body as his blood poured out. This scene stirred the emotions of the elders from the Feng Family. ¡°Is that Sect Master Zhan of the Xuantian Sect? As expected of the strongest in the Northern Spiritual Realm. Even someone from the Central Continent is no match for Sect Master Zhan!¡± ¡°A Void Refinement cultivator! It¡¯s been nearly ten thousand years since the Northern Spiritual Realm produced a Void Refinement cultivator!¡± ¡°Sect Master Zhan is so beautiful, no less than our family head!¡± ¡°Be careful what you say!¡± ¡°This Sect Master Zhan is not as easygoing as our family head. I knew her back in the day, and I can tell you from experience, she¡¯s terrifying!¡± ¡°If she hears what you said, you¡¯ll end up worse than Elder Yu!¡± Bright red blood dripped from the sky onto Long Tianyu¡¯s face, making his cheeks burn hot. At this moment, Long Tianyu was utterly dumbfounded. His once-invincible father, who had just been unting his power and boasting, was now pierced through by fiery chains, his blood spilling everywhere! Was this really his invincible father? Long Tianyu noticed the murderous nces from all around and felt a chill in his heart. The worst part wasn¡¯t the loss of face; it was how to escape alive today. Just now, his father had killed an elder of the Feng Family¡¯s Nascent Soul Realm and injured Feng Yuwan. He had even insulted Feng Yuwan in front of everyone, calling her a slut. Father and son hadpletely offended the Feng Family. Now that his father was bound by chains and unable to resist, would the Feng Family let him go? ¡°Chen¡¯er, how should we deal with this one? Should he live or die?¡± Zhan Lingshuang asked coldly. After venting her anger, she found it dull and didn¡¯t want to waste more time. Yang Chen smiled slightly, but his gaze turned to the stunned Long Tianyu. ¡°Yu¡¯er, what do you think? Should your father live or die?¡±@@novelbin@@ Long Tianyu¡¯s heart sank. Facing Yang Chen¡¯s gaze, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Even his father couldn¡¯t defeat this bastard. How frustrating. Feeling the murderous gazes from the Feng Family members behind him, Long Tianyu knew well that if his father survived, Yang Chen might not kill him, and the Feng Family wouldn¡¯t dare either. Chapter 154 Chapter 154 But if his father died, even if Yang Chen spared him, the Feng Family wouldn¡¯t let him go. ¡°I can¡¯t die, I absolutely cannot die! I possess true dragon blood; my future is boundless, and I will surely be a supreme being! I can¡¯t die in this deste Northern Spiritual Realm! As long as I stay alive, there will always be a chance for revenge in the future! When that timees, I¡¯ll kill everyst one of these bastards!¡± Listening to his father¡¯s anguished screams from the sky, Long Tianyu, instead of panicking, became calm. Then, with a loud thud, he knelt down before Yang Chen. ¡°Yang Chen, I beg you, please spare my father! I will do anything, as long as you spare his life!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn¡¯t expected Long Tianyu to kneel and beg. This boy had some ability to bend and endure. ¡°Brother Chen, you can¡¯t let him go! If you let the tiger return to the mountain, it will bring endless troubles! If he leaves, he¡¯ll return with cultivators from the Central Continent, and our Northern Spiritual Realm could face a catastrophe! And this bastard killed one of our Feng Family elders and insulted me!¡± Feng Yuwan said hurriedly, her beautiful eyes filled with killing intent. Yang Chen gently stroked her slightly pale face. He hadn¡¯t acted earlier, waiting for this moment. ¡°Yuwan, you¡¯re right! We can¡¯t let him go! But, killing him outright would be a waste! This guy has the bloodline of the Red Dragon and is half a step into the Void Refinement Realm, practically half a dragon! Why not refine him into a Blood Pill? Not only can it help you recover from your injuries, but it would also strengthen the Feng Family!¡± *** ¡°Blood Pills?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s expression froze. She couldn¡¯t help but nce at Long Aohuan, who was suspended in the air, pierced through by chains of white mes. This was a cultivator who was just a step away from the Void Refinement Realm and carried the bloodline of the Red Dragon. From the brief exchange earlier, she could tell, his Red Dragon bloodline was quite rich. Although he couldn¡¯t fully transform into a dragon, he was not far off. Indeed, he was nearly equivalent to half a dragon. If refined into blood pills, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Feng Family. Though refining someone into blood pills was cruel, using it on this bastard was well deserved. Upon hearing that his father was about to be refined into blood pills, Long Tianyu¡¯s pupils contracted sharply. He hurriedly shouted, ¡°Yang Chen, my father is the head of the Red Dragon Family! If you turn him into blood pills, my Red Dragon Family will never forgive you!¡± ¡°Damn brat, how dare you speak here?¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s brows furrowed, and with a swift motion, she pped him from a distance. Long Tianyu was immediately sent flying, his blood and teeth scattering through the air. Half of the flesh on his face was torn away, exposing the white bones beneath. ¡°Ah!¡± Long Tianyu copsed to the ground, clutching his cheek, screaming in pain. Without half his face, his voice was a ghastly shriek. Blood gushed through the gaps in his fingers, his appearance utterly miserable. Yang Chen was slightly surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected Feng Yuwan to hit so hard. It seemed that disciplining Long Tianyu was better left to his future mother-inw. ¡°Brother Chen, since we¡¯re refining blood pills, we should start immediately!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Yang Chen nodded. He ascended into the sky and stood beside his master. ¡°Master, this guy has rich Red Dragon blood, I n to refine him into blood pills! I¡¯ll need your Profound Deep Cold me to help me!¡± ¡°I can help you, but I¡¯ll take half of the blood pills,¡± Zhan Lingshuang said directly. ¡°Master, why do you need blood pills? They¡¯re useless to you!¡± Yang Chen was confused. ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhan Lingshuang snorted coldly and reprimanded, ¡°Did you forget you have a sect of your own now? I don¡¯t need them, but do the disciples of Xuantian Sect not need them? She must have charmed you! Always thinking of her!¡±@@novelbin@@ Yang Chen felt embarrassed. He hurriedly replied, ¡°Master, you¡¯re right. Of course, Xuantian Sect should have a portion. No, two-thirds of the blood pills!¡± ¡°Hmph, at least you still have some conscience!¡± Zhan Lingshuang snorted but said no more. She began to control the Profound Deep Cold me. She had also intended to refine Long Aohuan into blood pills, after all. This half-step Void Refinement cultivator, with half-dragon status, would be too wasteful to kill outright. As the ghostly white Profound Deep Cold me began to emanate from her body, Yang Chen¡¯s mind shed back to thest time in the magma world. The image of snow-white curves and valleys resurfaced in his thoughts, something he hadn¡¯t been able to forget. Unable to resist, he reminded her, ¡°Master, this time, be careful with the Profound Deep Cold me! After all, there are many people watching below!¡± Zhan Lingshuang instantly understood the meaning behind Yang Chen¡¯s words. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she red at him, ¡°Shut up! As your master, I am far more experienced than before. Last time was my first time using this primordial fire! And remember, you are never to bring this up again!¡± Yang Chen chuckled awkwardly. He then activated the Green Lotus Heavenly me. Green mes spread out, and a massive ancient lotus of me enveloped Long Aohuan. ¡°Damn you all! You dream of refining me into a blood pill!¡± Long Aohuan roared in fury. The phantom of a Red Dragon appeared, circling him, attempting to shatter the lotus of Green mes surrounding him. However, the fiery chains shot out from his body. In just an instant, they pierced him hundreds of times. ¡°Ah! Ah! Ah!¡± Long Aohuan¡¯s agonized screams echoed through the sky. The Red Dragon¡¯s phantom vanished. The Green and white mes filled the air, wrapping him within. ¡°Damn you all! Let me go! Let me go! My Red Dragon Family will not forgive you!¡± Long Aohuan roared in anger. But in mere moments, his roars turned to desperate pleas. ¡°Spare me! Please spare me! I promise never to set foot in the Northern Spiritual Realm again! I ¡­ I don¡¯t want to die! Ah!¡± His pleas grew more wretched, sending chills down the spines of the cultivators in the Ice and Snow City. Yang Chen could feel the primordial fire gradually refining Long Aohuan bit by bit. Even though Long Aohuan was a half-step Void Refinement cultivator, he could not resist the refining power of the primordial fire. Especially with his master¡¯s assistance, who was a Void Refinement cultivator herself. Still, it took a full day topletely extinguish Long Aohuan¡¯s spirit. After another three days, strands of crimson light shot out from the mes of Green and white. ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± Yang Chen said excitedly. Chapter 155 Chapter 155 This was his first time refining blood pills, and he had seeded on the first try. The mes dissipated. Fifty crimson blood pills hovered in the air, surrounded by the sound of dragons roaring. Each blood pill had a Red Dragon¡¯s phantom coiling around it, emitting a brilliant red glow. The fragrance of the pills filled the entire city lord¡¯s mansion. ¡°The pills areplete!¡± Feng Yuwan¡¯s beautiful eyes sparkled with joy. The Feng Family elders nearby were also filled with excitement. There were dozens of blood pills. The Holy Son had just said these pills would be used to strengthen the Feng Family. As elders at the Nascent Soul Realm, each of them should receive one pill, right? A powerful cultivator, just shy of the Void Refinement Realm, with Red Dragon blood, had been refined into blood pills. The effects of such pills were sure to be extraordinary. If they consumed them, their cultivation would likely increase by at least one level. Long Tianyu, whose half-face had been pped off by Feng Yuwan, had still not been treated. Instead, he was tied to a stone pir, left to endure the wind and sun for four days. The Feng Family¡¯s cultivators hated Long Tianyu, so they had been tormenting him during this time. ¡°So fragrant!¡± Long Tianyu, in a daze, smelled the aroma of the pills. ¡°Is Qian Ning bringing me medicine for my injuries?¡± He struggled to open his eyes. But what he saw wasn¡¯t Feng Qian Ning. Instead, he followed the gazes of the crowd and looked toward the sky. The green and white mes had dissipated. Dozens of glowing, crimson pills floated in the air. Each one shone like a miniature sun. ¡°Those are ¡­ blood pills? Blood pills ¡­ made from my father? Ah! Father! Yang Chen, damn you! I will cut you into a thousand pieces!¡± Realizing what had happened, Long Tianyu let out a hoarse roar. As Yang Chen was in the middle of dividing the pills with his master, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind: [Ding! The host has refined Long Tianyu¡¯s father into blood pills, causing Long Tianyu¡¯s mind topletely copse. The host has plundered 2000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Long Tianyu, and gained 2000 VPs!] *** ¡°Hmm?¡± Upon hearing the system¡¯s voice in his mind, Yang Chen felt a bit disappointed. When refining Long Aohuan into a blood pill, Yang Chen naturally aimed to seize a significant amount of Yu¡¯er¡¯s luck points. However, he only managed to seize 2,000 points. It seems that the remaining 3,500 luck points of Yu¡¯er were not easy to grab. Originally, he thought that after killing Long Aohuan, he would send his son to join him in death, reuniting the father and son. But now, it seems Yu¡¯er can¡¯t die just yet. ncing at Long Tianyu, who was tied to a stone pir, half of his face mangled, with exposed bones faintly visible, Yang Chen¡¯s lips curved into a smile. It seems that to get the remaining 1,500 luck points from Yu¡¯er, I¡¯ll have to rely on Feng Yuwan, his mother-inw. After all, Feng Yuwan, the esteemed mother-inw, was Yu¡¯er¡¯s true forbidden desire. ¡°Yu Wan, here are sixteen blood pills! The others were taken by my master.¡± In the pce, Yang Chen handed over the sixteen blood pills to Feng Yuwan. Holding the pills emitting a rich medicinal aroma, Feng Yuwan couldn¡¯t conceal her excitement. ¡°Brother Chen, thank you! With these sixteen blood pills, the strength of the Feng family elders can rise to another level!¡± ¡°Why are you thanking me?¡± Yang Chen feigned reproach, unable to resist yfully swatting her in a private spot as a form of discipline. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡± Feng Yuwan shylyined, then snuggled into Yang Chen¡¯s embrace. Her face was slightly flushed, but it radiated happiness. After a brief moment of intimacy, Yang Chen left the pce. While refining Long Aohuan earlier, he had sensed Empress Yan¡¯s presence nearby for a fleeting moment. Since he had once shed with her, he was particrly sensitive to her aura. Moreover, it seemed like that woman deliberately revealed her presence to draw him over.@@novelbin@@ In the pce, Feng Yuwan tidied up her slightly disheveled dress, which had been rumpled by Yang Chen, and the blush on her face gradually faded, while the dazed look in her beautiful eyes slowly receded. Just as she was about to leave the pce, she suddenly felt a surge of true qi behind her. Startled, Feng Yuwan spun around and struck out with her palm. Bang! Although the sword light shattered, she was still pushed back several steps. The true qi dissipated, and seeing Zhan Lingshuang approaching slowly, Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes filled with astonishment. ¡°Lingshuang! It¡¯s been so long!¡± Even though Zhan Lingshuang had been here for some time, this was the first time they were meeting alone. Feng Yuwan knew Zhan Lingshuang hade because of her rtionship with Yang Chen. Her mind couldn¡¯t help but recall a few days ago when Zhan Lingshuang had barged in on her and Yang Chen, and her cheeks flushed slightly. ¡°Feng Yuwan, you¡¯re quite something! I kindly helped you gain the position of city lord, and now you¡¯ve set your sights on my disciple! Do you even realize that he¡¯s my only disciple?¡± Zhan Lingshuang said coldly. Feng Yuwan¡¯s eyes showed a trace of helplessness. Although she had initially been forced into being with Yang Chen by that little rascal,ter on, she had fallen for him willingly. In fact, her feelings for Yang Chen had grown even more passionate. So, she couldn¡¯t refute Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s words and could only murmur softly: ¡°Lingshuang, I know you¡¯re upset with me, but I¡¯m truly sincere toward Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Brother Chen?¡± Zhan Lingshuang burst intoughter. ¡°How can you call him that with no shame? Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯re over a thousand years older than him? Shameless!¡± ¡°I ¡­¡± Feng Yuwan blushed. Calling that little rascal ¡°Brother Chen¡± was indeed a bit embarrassing. But what could she do? Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s little disciple liked it. If she didn¡¯t call him that, he¡¯d continue to torment her. Oh well. Zhan Lingshuang stepped closer to Feng Yuwan, scrutinizing her from head to toe. Seeing her in a dark green pce dress with a tightly cinched waist that unted her figure, Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s lips curled in disdain. Then she said: ¡°Feng Yuwan, although we haven¡¯t seen each other in hundreds of years, I trust you haven¡¯t forgotten my temper and methods! Chen¡¯er is still young and naive, so he may be momentarily captivated by your shy appearance. But deep down, you should know your rtionship won¡¯tst long. The age gap is too great; you¡¯re bound to have little inmon. And as his master, I do not approve! I hope you can leave him of your own ord. That would be best for both of you!¡± ¡°Leave him?¡± Feng Yuwan was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes clouded with sorrow. Sure enough, Zhan Lingshuang disapproved. In fact, she had already expected this. But for her to separate from Brother Chen? That was impossible. Just as she was about to refuse, a sudden wave of nausea hit her. ¡°Ugh!¡± Feng Yuwan hurriedly covered her mouth. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯re already at the mid-Soul Transformation Realm, how can you still feel unwell?¡± Zhan Lingshuang was a bit surprised. But seeing Feng Yuwan retching without actually vomiting, her expression gradually shifted. ¡°Feng Yuwan, are you ¡­ pregnant?¡± Chapter 156 Chapter 156 ¡°Yes.¡± After a bout of nausea, Feng Yuwan raised her head and looked directly at Zhan Lingshuang. For some reason, a slight sense of pride welled up in her heart. ¡°It¡¯s been a while now. Lingshuang, you¡¯re going to be a grandmaster soon! So, separating us? That¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°You! Damn it!¡± Zhan Lingshuang clenched her fists tightly, her teeth grinding in frustration. That disobedient Chen¡¯er! He already had several children with the women in Xuantian Sect, and now even Feng Yuwan was pregnant. Disobedient disciple, disobedient disciple! I wasn¡¯t prepared for this at all, yet I¡¯ve suddenly be a grandmother to several! *** Yang Chen left the City Lord¡¯s Mansion and arrived at a courtyard in the Ice and Snow City. As he walked in, a seductive figure dressed in a red robe quietly stood before him. A gentle breeze blew by, tightly wrapping the red robe around her body, entuating her alluring figure. The robe only reached her knees, leaving a pair of snow-white legs exposed to the air. Around her waist was a belt, outlining her slim, delicate waist. Yang Chen stood silently behind her, his mind drifting back to the scene in the cave. Back then, it was also this enchanting figure standing before him. But at that time, this figure was still immature. Now, however, she had already reached the Soul Transformation Realm. ¡°Hmph, have you seen enough?¡± Empress Yan let out a cold snort. ¡°Empress Yan, it¡¯s been several years since we parted at the Yan Mountain Range, and you¡¯re still as stunning as ever! Butst time we met in such a rush, I was hoping to catch up with you. Why did you leave without a word?¡± Yang Chen walked forward with a yful smile. ¡°Heh!¡± Empress Yan turned around, her alluring and charming face filled with disdain. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t left, should I have stayed and waited for your master to kill me?¡± ¡°Then why did you invite me here this time, Empress Yan? Aren¡¯t you worried I¡¯ll tell my master and have her quietly follow along?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°If you had brought your master, you wouldn¡¯t be seeing me right now! Though your master has reached the Void Refinement Realm, her control over the divine soul is far inferior to mine!¡± ¡°True, Empress Yan, you were once a powerful fire cultivator!¡± Yang Chen nodded. He had no doubt about this. After all, in the novel, Empress Yan¡¯s true strength far exceeded the Void Refinement Realm. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to disy Soul Transformation Realm power with just a remnant soul. ¡°Yang Chen, I¡¯vee to discuss something with you this time.¡± Empress Yan said seriously: ¡°You¡¯ve now reached the Soul Transformation Realm and can be considered one of the top cultivators in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But the cultivation environment of the Northern Spiritual Realm won¡¯t be of much help to you anymore. Are you interested in heading to Central Continent?¡± ¡°Central Continent?¡± Yang Chen frowned. He had heard about Central Continent more than once recently. And he knew as well. The Northern Spiritual Realm was indeed a barren and remote region. Thend of Central Continent was the most spectacr part of this world. In the future, he would indeed go to Central Continent. But why would Empress Yan want him to go there? This woman must have some ulterior motive, right? Sensing the doubt in Yang Chen¡¯s eyes, Empress Yan exined: ¡°I also cultivated in Central Continent back then. The Earth Core Red Fire was obtained from a fire domain there. At that time, aside from the Earth Core Red Fire, the fire domain also formed a piece of Fire Spirit Essence. However, the Fire Spirit Essence wasn¡¯t fully formed back then, so I didn¡¯t take it. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and it should be fully formed. Although the Fire Spirit Essence is still in that fire domain, it constantly moves around. With my current cultivation, I can¡¯t pinpoint its exact location. That¡¯s why I need your eyes.¡± ¡°My eyes?¡± Yang Chen was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes emitted a golden glow as he prepared to scan Empress Yan. To see if she had lost weight in recent times, so that he, as an old acquaintance, could put his mind at ease. But Empress Yan already knew about the power of Yang Chen¡¯s Golden Eyesfrom their time in the magma world. She immediately dodged with a swift move. ¡°Yang Chen, show some respect to me! Do you think I¡¯m your master, someone you can just stare at whenever you like?¡± As she said this, a mocking smile appeared on Empress Yan¡¯s lips. ¡°I have to admit, your master does have quite a nice figure. In that magma world, she unted it right in front of you. Haha, you¡¯re quite the lucky one! The rtionship between you two master and disciple, tsk tsk!¡± ¡°What!?¡± Hearing Empress Yan¡¯s sarcastic remarks, Yang Chen waspletely shocked. Back in the magma world, after his master had collected the Profound Deep Cold me ¡­ Empress Yan hadn¡¯t left back then? Did she witness that scene? Yang Chen¡¯s pupils widened in disbelief. Seeing the shock on his face, Empress Yan couldn¡¯t help butugh triumphantly: ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated the way of fire for ten thousand years, and with the Earth Core Red Fire in my possession, I can hide in magma without being detected. Even with your Golden Eyes, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to spot me! Fortunately, I didn¡¯t leave back then! If I had, I wouldn¡¯t have witnessed such a wonderful scene! But forget about me. You, on the other hand, really got an eyeful, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°You¡ªstop talking nonsense!¡± Yang Chen shouted angrily. ¡°Haha, are you upset? Are you nning to kill me to keep me quiet?¡± Empress Yan seemed to be using this incident to take advantage of the situation, ridiculing him even more. Yang Chen could only change the topic: ¡°Let¡¯s get back to business, Empress Yan! You need my Golden Eyes to help you find the Fire Spirit Essence. I can help, but what¡¯s in it for me?¡± Empress Yan stoppedughing and became serious again. ¡°I can give you half of the Fire Spirit Essence! You¡¯re a fire cultivator too. If you absorb the Fire Spirit Essence, it will help you as much as fusing with a new kind of Primordial fire.¡± ¡°Half of the Fire Spirit Essence?¡± Yang Chen pondered. He knew the value of such a thing. Fire Spirit Essence was a sacred treasure coveted by fire attribute cultivators, its value even rivaling the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice obtained by Feng Yuwan. Since Empress Yan was once a mighty fire cultivator, any heavenly treasure that lingered in her memory would undoubtedly be extraordinary. However, the Fire Spirit Essence wasn¡¯t of great importance to him personally. ¡°Empress Yan, while the Fire Spirit Essence is valuable, it doesn¡¯t hold much significance for me. If it¡¯s just half of the Fire Spirit Essence, it might not be worth traveling all the way to Central Continent.¡±@@novelbin@@ Chapter 157 Chapter 157 ¡°Not that important?¡± Hearing this, Empress Yan rolled her eyes hard. ¡°Yang Chen, don¡¯t insult the Fire Spirit Essence with your ignorance, okay? Once the Fire Spirit Essence is born, forget a Soul Transformation cultivator like you, even a Void Refinement expert would fight for it! Even if I only give you half, it¡¯s enough to improve your innate talents and significantly raise your cultivation stage!¡± ¡°That¡¯s other people¡¯s concern, but I¡¯m genuinely not interested. If you don¡¯t have anything else more appealing, I¡¯ll be taking my leave.¡± Yang Chen said nonchntly. ¡°You! What exactly do you want?¡± Empress Yan asked, a bit frustrated. ¡°What do I want? Heh!¡± Yang Chen chuckled. Now, this was the proper direction for their conversation. His gaze swept over Empress Yan¡¯s alluring figure. With a yful smile on his lips, he said: ¡°What I want is quite simple, just to revisit some old grounds!¡± *** ¡°Revisiting old grounds?¡± Empress Yan¡¯s expression froze, clearly confused for a moment. But soon, she understood what he meant. Her face darkened instantly. ¡°You bastard! Yang Chen, if you dare spout nonsense again, do you believe I won¡¯t let you walk out of here alive?¡± Ayer of red light enveloped her body, with hints of the Earth Core Red Fire flickering, disying her anger. Back then, to obtain the Body Refining Pill, she had no choice but to agree to this bastard¡¯s demand and let him take advantage of her. But in that cave, this bastard went even further. And now, he dared to bring up ¡°revisiting old grounds¡± again. Unforgivable! This was truly going too far! ¡°Empress Yan, no need to get angry!¡± Yang Chen replied nonchntly: ¡°I was just casually mentioning it. If you don¡¯t agree, just say no.¡± ¡°Of course I won¡¯t agree!¡± Empress Yan said coldly. ¡°But, you still have to help me with this task!¡± ¡°This ¡­¡± Yang Chen feigned difficulty. ¡°Empress Yan, you¡¯re really putting me in a tough spot! Central Continent is a million miles away, and you won¡¯t agree to my conditions. Why should I go? My rtionship with you isn¡¯t that deep, right?¡± ¡°Bastard! Die!¡± Empress Yan¡¯s beautiful eyes red with anger, and she couldn¡¯t hold back any longer. She struck out at Yang Chen with her palm. The Earth Core Red Fire condensed into a handprint. Though the handprint wasn¡¯trge, its five fingers were like a formation, intricately connected. Yang Chen immediately realized. Empress Yan was trying to suppress him and forcibly take him to Central Continent. ¡°Heh!¡± Yang Chen chuckled, not dodging. He struck out with his palm directly. A blue me spread out, apanied by the sound of a dragon¡¯s roar. Bang! The mes of true qi collided.Empress Yan¡¯s me handprint was shattered by Yang Chen¡¯s strike. However, both of them restrained their power.@@novelbin@@ The true qi didn¡¯t rage uncontrobly. The small courtyard merely trembled violently but sustained no significant damage. Seeing Yang Chen easily neutralize her attack, Empress Yan¡¯s face showed a hint of surprise. ¡°Aren¡¯t you only at the first stage of the Soul Transformation Realm? You can actually take one of my attacks head-on! It seems I¡¯ve underestimated you!¡± Her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness. She had nned to catch him off guard, using her far superior cultivation to subdue him in one move. Then she would have forcibly taken him to Central Continent to help her find the Fire Spirit Essence. But unexpectedly, despite being only at the first stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, this bastard possessed such immense strength. Her previous strike had contained a sealing formation. Even a cultivator at the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm wouldn¡¯t have been able to walk away unscathed. Yet this bastard had effortlessly deflected it. It seemed that the rumors circting in the Northern Spiritual Realm were true. Although Empress Yan had been cultivating alone during this time, she had stayed in the Northern Spiritual Realm. asionally, she¡¯d heard various legends about Yang Chen, the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. It was said that when he was at the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he had defeated a Soul Transformation cultivator. And when he reached the tenth stage, he even killed two Soul Transformation cultivators in session. One of them was at the third stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Empress Yan had not believed these tales. She thought they were just exaggerated rumors spread by people. After all, even with her ten thousand years of cultivation experience, the idea of someone at the tenth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm killing a third-stage Soul Transformation cultivator was too far-fetched. ying a Soul Transformation cultivator before reaching the Soul Transformation Realm was something only the legendary figures in ancient texts could achieve. She never believed a mere Holy Son from Xuantian Sect could do such a thing. But now ¡­ the strength Yang Chen had just disyed was no less than that of a fourth-stage Soul Transformation cultivator. And this probably wasn¡¯t even his full power. This bastard¡¯s talent was indeed monstrous. Even in all of Central Continent, he would be considered a peerless prodigy, seen only once in ten thousand years! ¡°Heh, it seems you truly underestimated me, Empress Yan! Silently subduing me isn¡¯t going to happen!¡± Yang Chen smirked. From their brief exchange, he had gauged Empress Yan¡¯s strength. She hadn¡¯t reached thete Soul Transformation stage yet. However, her battle power wasn¡¯t weaker than someone at thete stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. But even so, the idea of her suppressing him quietly was out of the question. Whether she could defeat him at all was still up for debate. Empress Yan stood still, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Chen without speaking. She seemed to be deep in thought. After a long silence, she finally spoke: ¡°Yang Chen, do you know why I need the Fire Spirit Essence?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it to enhance your strength?¡± Yang Chen replied casually. ¡°Hmph, I was once a mighty fire cultivator, standing at the peak of the world. I have many ways to enhance my strength. Why would I beg for help from a bastard like you?¡± Empress Yan scoffed. ¡°Then what is it for? And what does this have to do with me?¡± Yang Chen was starting to grow impatient. What was this woman getting at? So secretive.If it weren¡¯t for their shared history of close encounters, he would have left long ago. Empress Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hesitation. But finally, she seemed to make a decision. In a low voice, she said: ¡°The reason I need the Fire Spirit Essence is for her.¡± As she spoke, she pointed to her t abdomen. Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, puzzled. He had noticed something during their time in the magma world. Empress Yan seemed to asionally caress her belly. But he hadn¡¯t thought much of it at the time. Now, she was pointing to her stomach again and talking about ¡°her¡±? Could it be? A bold idea shed through Yang Chen¡¯s mind. ¡°Are you pregnant?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Empress Yan nodded, her beautiful eyes locked onto Yang Chen¡¯s: ¡°So, you must help me! The Fire Spirit Essence can enhance her innate talent!¡± Chapter 158 Chapter 158 ¡°You mean I have to help you?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a yful smile. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, if I recall correctly, it¡¯s been several years since we parted in the cave! So, this child should have nothing to do with me, right? I certainly don¡¯t have the spirit of selfless dedication!¡± ¡°What did you say? You bastard!¡± Empress Yan¡¯s fury ignited upon hearing Yang Chen¡¯s words, her voice icy cold. In her beautiful eyes, two red mes could be seen flickering. Her aura was no longer concealed and began to surge rapidly, as if she was preparing for a life-and-death battle with Yang Chen. However, she quickly let out a self-mockingugh. The true energy flowing from her body dissipated instantly. ¡°Heh! I should have known long ago that you¡¯re just a despicable person! And to think I went out of my way to find you! Forget it, just go! I don¡¯t need your help anymore! Moreover, from now on, all our grudges are wiped clean; we owe each other nothing! You helped me reconstruct my physical body, and I gave you what you wanted! If we meet again and you show even the slightest disrespect, I will not spare you!¡± After saying this, Empress Yan turned her back on him, leaving only a cold and aloof figure. This left Yang Chen somewhat bewildered. After thinking carefully, Yang Chen looked toward Empress Yan¡¯s abdomen. With her pride, she shouldn¡¯t lie to him. Moreover, he was a Soul Transformation cultivator. He could sense whether it was his bloodline with just a touch. In fact, some highly skilled female cultivators could indeed suppress the growth of the fetus in their womb. This wasn¡¯t umon. Many female cultivators would suppress the fetus¡¯s growth to create a better innate environment for the child, seeking vast amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance the child¡¯s potential. Empress Yan must have suppressed the growth of the fetus in her womb as well, seeking the Fire Spirit Jade Marrow to enhance the child¡¯s innate talent. Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt a bit of guilt rise in his heart. Then, he walked over to Empress Yan¡¯s side. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving? What are you still doing here?¡± Empress Yan nced at him coldly and said, ¡°Get lost already! This child has nothing to do with you! I don¡¯t want to see you anymore! From now on, I¡¯m going to Central Continent, and we¡¯ll never see each other again! Hmph!¡± Empress Yan snorted coldly, her face full of stubbornness. As soon as she finished speaking, a red glow appeared on her body as she prepared to leave. But how could Yang Chen let her go? He immediately wrapped his arms around her slender waist. ¡°You! Bastard! Let me go!¡± Empress Yan scolded angrily, her voice as cold as ice. But Yang Chen didn¡¯t care. He ced both hands directly on her abdomen. Instantly, a sensation stirred within him. Yang Chen immediately confirmed it. The child in her womb was indeed his bloodline. Bang! At that moment, Empress Yan swung her palm backward and struck Yang Chen. Although she didn¡¯t use full strength, it was still four or five-tenths of her power, forcing Yang Chen to retreat four or five steps. ¡°Yang Chen, you better show some respect! Even though this child carries half of your bloodline, if you think this gives you any right to associate with me, you¡¯re far too naive! I sought you out purely to make use of you!¡± Empress Yan said coldly, her expression full of arrogance and disdain. Yang Chen felt a bit helpless at this point. He hadn¡¯t expected that, from just one time in the cave, Empress Yan would get pregnant. Sigh. What aplicated fate.@@novelbin@@ A young, righteous prodigy like him, having a child with an elder like Empress Yan who had lived for tens of thousands of years! ¡°Ugh!¡± Suddenly, Empress Yan covered her red lips and started dry heaving. ¡°Damn it!¡± Empress Yan cursed under her breath, hurriedly sitting down cross-legged, surrounded by a red aura of true energy. Momentster, she opened her eyes again, appearing calm andposed. ¡°Yang Chen, do you know why this happened?¡± Empress Yan said coldly. ¡°Morning sickness is normal during pregnancy. Senior Empress Yan, you¡¯ve cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and you don¡¯t know this?¡± ¡°Shut up! Of course, I know that!¡± Empress Yan red at Yang Chen and continued, ¡°When I conceived this child, I had just reconstructed my physical body! And not long after, I was seriously injured! As the mother, I¡¯ve given very little to this child! Even though I was once a powerful fire cultivator and am now a Soul Transformation cultivator, this child is extraordinarily weak! Some high-level female cultivators can temporarily seal the fetus¡¯s growth for up to ten years or more! But that¡¯s because when those women were pregnant, their cultivation was already extremely strong, and the fetus in their wombs could withstand such long-term stasis! But this child can¡¯t! If I continue to seal its growth, the child might be a stillborn! That¡¯s why I¡¯m so eager to go to Central Continent to find the Fire Spirit Jade Marrow. Do you understand now?¡± ¡°I see!¡± Yang Chen nodded. When he examined her earlier, he had also noticed this problem. Empress Yan¡¯s cultivation was higher than Feng Yuwan¡¯s, but the fetus in her womb was much weaker inparison. ¡°Yang Chen, for the sake of the child, I can give you one more chance! If you¡¯re willing toe with me to Central Continent now, we can ¡­ we can raise this child together in the future!¡± Empress Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking again. However, her previously cold and arrogant face turned slightly red. ¡°Raise the child together?¡± Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. He looked at Empress Yan, only to find that she avoided his gaze, as if she didn¡¯t dare meet his eyes. ¡°Heh heh! Ah, women!¡± Yang Chen chuckled inwardly. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, there¡¯s no need to rush to Central Continent. Although this child is weak, I have a way to strengthen its bloodline! In this way, you can continue to seal its growth, and we won¡¯t need to rush to Central Continent.¡± ¡°Oh? You can strengthen the child¡¯s bloodline?¡± Empress Yan looked surprised. ¡°Of course! After all, I am the child¡¯s father!¡± As Yang Chen spoke, he reached out and touched Empress Yan¡¯s abdomen again. Empress Yan froze, forgetting to dodge. Feeling the warmth of his palm, her face flushed slightly, and her body stiffened a little. But in the end, she didn¡¯t move away, allowing Yang Chen¡¯s hand to remain on her abdomen. Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Yang Chen could feel the weak life signs of the fetus in Empress Yan¡¯s abdomen. At the time in the cave, his cultivation had only just reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Back then, he had merely refined the Green Lotus Heavenly me, without yet fusing with the Dragon Spine, nor had he embarked on the path of body cultivation. As for Empress Yan, she had just reconstructed her physical body and barely had any cultivation. So, the fetus was only an ordinary fetus. If it were a normal ten-month pregnancy, there would naturally be no issues. However, Empress Yan had sealed the fetus¡¯s growth. This greatly increased the demands on the fetus¡¯s constitution. ¡°You, how do you n to strengthen her bloodline?¡± Feeling Yang Chen¡¯s hand moving on her abdomen, Empress Yan¡¯s heartbeat quickened, and she couldn¡¯t help but ask. Yang Chen opened his eyes, nced at her, and said, ¡°My physique has greatly improvedpared to the time in the cave! Back then, although I had refined the Green Lotus Heavenly me, I hadn¡¯t fully merged with it. But now, my physique is iparable to what it was then!¡± Hearing Yang Chen mention the time in the cave, Empress Yan couldn¡¯t help but recall that scene. Yang Chen behind her. Doing that to her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. ¡°Alright, alright, just get to the point!¡± Empress Yan said impatiently. ¡°It¡¯s simple: I just need to infuse my essence blood into the fetus, and that will strengthen her bloodline!¡± Upon hearing this, Empress Yan immediately frowned. ¡°That¡¯s your solution? Do you know how fragile a fetus¡¯s life is? If I¡¯m not mistaken, you practice body cultivation, and your physical body has reached the Soul Transformation Realm! A single drop of your essence blood contains enough energy to melt a Golden Core cultivator! How could a fetus withstand that?¡± Empress Yan replied, clearly displeased. She had expected Yang Chen toe up with a better idea, but instead, it was this absurd suggestion. She immediately swatted his hand away from her abdomen. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, you don¡¯t understand! While it¡¯s true that my essence blood contains immense energy, you can remove the excess energy and leave only the essence of the bloodline! This bloodline essence will enhance the fetus¡¯s constitution! Moreover, since the fetus carries my bloodline, it will not reject this essence at all!¡± Yang Chen exined seriously. The blood of the Primordial Divine Dragon had endless uses. One drop of essence blood could enhance Feng Yunhai¡¯s potential and activate his Ice Phoenix bloodline. It could also help Linglong¡¯s True Dragon Soul reconstruct her dragon body. The fetus, being of his own bloodline, could naturally improve its constitution, and there would be no need for any refining¡ªit would fuse directly. ¡°Really? Can the bloodline essence in just one drop of your essence blood be that effective?¡± Empress Yan¡¯s beautiful eyes were still filled with doubt and disbelief. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, as a powerful fire cultivator, you must have a deep understanding of bloodlines and various constitutions! You can feel it for yourself!¡± As Yang Chen spoke, he immediately produced a drop of essence blood. The essence blood was golden, suspended at his fingertip, like a drop of golden crystal. It radiated a golden glow, and a faint golden dragon shadow coiled around it, asionally letting out a low dragon¡¯s roar. This sight left Empress Yan stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the golden essence blood suspended at Yang Chen¡¯s fingertip. Her bewitching face was full of shock. Although it was just a drop of essence blood, the divine pressure it emitted far surpassed any constitution she had ever encountered. Moreover, a golden dragon shadow circled above the blood. ¡°Are you of the True Dragon Blood?¡± After a long time, Empress Yan finally spoke, but her voice was full of uncertainty. ¡°True Dragon? I don¡¯t know, maybe!¡± Having fused with the spine of the Primordial Divine Dragon, Yang Chen couldn¡¯t be considered a pure-blooded dragon, but his physique was no weaker than a so-called True Dragon. After all, Linglong was a pure-blooded True Dragon in her previous life, yet she was still extremely wary of his bloodline pressure. Empress Yan took the golden essence blood from Yang Chen¡¯s fingertip and stared at it deeply. Finally, she nodded and said, ¡°Fine, let¡¯s try it your way! But if anything happens to the fetus, Yang Chen, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Empress Yan said coldly. She then sat down cross-legged and began to refine the golden essence blood. As a once-powerful fire cultivator, Empress Yan naturally had considered Yang Chen¡¯s words and believed them to some extent. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t take this risk. The golden essence blood was refined within her body, and dragon roars echoed. A golden dragon shadow coiled around her body. Momentster, the golden dragon shadow entered Empress Yan¡¯s body. An hourter, Empress Yan opened her eyes, unable to hide the joy in her gaze. ¡°Did it work?¡± Yang Chen asked from the side. ¡°Yes.¡± Empress Yan nodded slightly and stood up. A golden light flickered faintly in her abdomen. Yang Chen ced his hand on it. Empress Yan instinctively wanted to avoid him, but for some reason, she hesitated and ultimately didn¡¯t move away, allowing him to ce his hand on her abdomen. Feeling the strong vitality of the fetus, Yang Chen knew that it had indeed worked. The bloodline essence from his essence blood had been absorbed by the fetus. Now, the child had a trace of the Divine Dragon bloodline. Although it was thin, the constitution of the fetus had significantly improved. ¡°Thank you!¡± Empress Yan¡¯s red lips parted slightly. Yang Chen, however, responded seriously, ¡°Senior Empress Yan, there¡¯s no need for thanks! After all, this is my child, and as her father, I should contribute!¡± As he spoke, Yang Chen gently stroked Empress Yan¡¯s t abdomen.@@novelbin@@ Empress Yan¡¯s delicate body trembled, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face. Her true energy fluctuated slightly, but she didn¡¯t push Yang Chen away. Seeing this, Yang Chen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He then produced ten more drops of golden essence blood. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Empress Yan asked, puzzled. ¡°Senior Empress Yan, I know you¡¯re still angry about what happened in the cave. But this is also my child, and I must take responsibility for her! These ten drops of essence blood can be refined again at different stages of her growth, and their essence can be infused into her bloodline! Also, by applying the blood to your eyes, you¡¯ll gain the ability to see through all things, simr to my Divine Dragon Golden Eyes! Consider this a small token ofpensation from me!¡± Yang Chen spoke in a heavy tone. But to Empress Yan, his words caused her heart to tremble slightly. She couldn¡¯t help but nce deeply at Yang Chen, then at her own abdomen. Finally, she whispered, ¡°You ¡­ from now on, don¡¯t call me Senior Empress Yan anymore!¡± Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Inside the pce hall. Zhan Lingshuang stood with her hands behind her back. Upon seeing Yang Chen and Feng Yuwan walking in intimately, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little displeased. She had painstakingly raised this disciple, but now it seemed like Feng Yuwan, this old woman, was reaping the benefits. ¡°Chen¡¯er, I have already refined the Profound Deep Cold me, and the matters in the Ice and Snow City are also resolved! In three days, you and I will return to Xuantian Sect together!¡± ¡°Returning to Xuantian Sect in three days?¡± Feng Yuwan immediately stepped forward and asked with confusion, ¡°Lingshuang, is something urgent? Why are you leaving in such a hurry? We haven¡¯t seen each other for hundreds of years, and I was hoping we could catch up!¡± ¡°Tch!¡± Zhan Lingshuang pursed her lips and cast a disdainful nce at Feng Yuwan. She knew in her heart that Feng Yuwan was actually eager for her to leave. She just didn¡¯t want Chen¡¯er to go. ¡°My cultivation has already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, and I have refined the Profound Deep Cold me. It is time to leave the Northern Spiritual Realm and head to Central Continent. In three days, we will go to Xuantian Sect. I need to exin many things to Chen¡¯er! Moreover, my family has already sent people here; there isn¡¯t much time left!¡± Zhan Lingshuang sighed softly as she spoke. Her beautiful eyes nced at Yang Chen, carrying a hint of reluctance. ¡°Your family?¡± Feng Yuwan raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised. When she was young and adventuring with Zhan Lingshuang, she had heard about Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s origins. Although Zhan Lingshuang cultivated in the Northern Spiritual Realm, she was actually from Central Continent. Moreover, her family seemed terrifyingly powerful, even the former sect master of Xuantian Sect was very wary of them. ¡°Feng Yuwan, you should leave first. My disciple and I have something to discuss privately.¡± Zhan Lingshuang nced at Feng Yuwan and said indifferently. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave you two to talk!¡± Feng Yuwan, understanding the situation, walked out of the hall. ¡°Chen¡¯er, the thing I worry about most when I go to Central Continent is you! But fortunately, you have already reached the Soul Transformation Realm, so I am not too worried.¡± As Zhan Lingshuang spoke, she gently raised her hand, softly caressing Yang Chen¡¯s cheek. Her eyes, once sharp, were now filled with tenderness. In her mind, scenes from the first time she met Yang Chen began to surface. Back then, he was just a little child running around with his bare bottom, his tiny teapot mouth looking very cute. Decades have passed, though it was only a fleeting moment in her long years of cultivation, these few decades were the only period of warmth in her life. ¡°Master, do you have to go to Central Continent?¡± Yang Chen asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Zhan Lingshuang nodded, letting out a soft sigh, filled with helplessness. ¡°I was born in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land in Central Continent, and my family, the Zhan n, is one of the ancient ns with deep heritage. Xuantian Sect actually has some connection with the Heavenly Dao Holy Land. The founding ancestor of Xuantian Sect was once an elder of Heavenly Dao Holy Land! When I first reached the Nascent Soul Realm, I was chosen as one of the ten candidates for the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Dao Holy Land. ¡°Each Holy Maiden candidate is required to go to a remote and deste domain outside Central Continent to train and spread the teachings of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land. That¡¯s how I ended up in the Northern Spiritual Realm. But now, the Heavenly Dao Holy Land is beginning the process of confirming the Holy Maiden, and all ten candidates are required to return. My family has also sent people to take me back.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Yang Chen nodded. In the original plot, after he, the viin, was killed by Lin Yan, Zhan Lingshuang, his master, sought revenge for him. In the end, she was killed in a scheme by the resurrected Empress Yan. After that, Zhan Lingshuang¡¯s storyline ended abruptly. He hadn¡¯t expected that his master had such a background, being one of the candidates for Holy Maiden of Heavenly Dao Holy Land. At this moment, ripples of spacial distortion suddenly appeared in the hall, like waves in water. A graceful figure materialized out of thin air. Dressed in a white moon robe, her figure was lithe, exuding an aura of elegance and sanctity. Her face was hidden behind a veil, making her true appearance unclear, but one could see her eyes, bright and clear like autumn waters. Her long ck hair was tied into an elegant bun, and her neck was slender. Judging from her attire, she was a beautiful middle-aged woman. ¡°Lingshuang, is this the disciple you¡¯ve taken in?¡± The woman¡¯s voice was elegant, like the soft fragrance of orchids in a secluded valley, exuding a sense of tranquility. As she spoke, the woman took a step forward and crossed a dozen zhang (approx. 100 feet) in an instant, appearing right in front of Yang Chen. ¡°Shrinking the Ground into Inches!?¡± Yang Chen¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Shrinking the Ground into Inches¡± was a spatial divine ability. In the cultivation world, only those who have reached the Void Refinement Realm can wield the power of the void, also known as spatial power. This ability, although it seems simple and ordinary, is actually incredibly profound and difficult to master. The woman in front of him clearly had extraordinary strength, at least far surpassing his master¡¯s. ¡°Reaching the first level of Soul Transformation at such a young age! Hmm, it seems you are also a body cultivator! And you possess a Primordial Fire! Not bad, not bad! With such talent, you would be considered a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, even in Heavenly Dao Holy Land! Young man, would you like to go to Heavenly Dao Holy Land with your master?¡± The beautiful woman in the moon robe looked at Yang Chen and asked. ¡°Go to Heavenly Dao Holy Land?¡± Yang Chen frowned slightly. Zhan Lingshuang immediately grew impatient and said, ¡°Second sister, Chen¡¯er is going to inherit the position of Sect Master of Xuantian Sect. How can hee with me to Heavenly Dao Holy Land?¡±@@novelbin@@ ¡°Lingshuang, your disciple is no ordinary person! His talent even surpasses yours. Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste for him to remain in this remote Northern Spiritual Realm? Besides, you have nine otherpetitors in the Holy Maiden candidate ranks. Their strength is by no means inferior to yours. ¡°If this disciple goes with you, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of the Holy Lord and the elders. At that time, you will have a better chance of securing the position of Holy Maiden!¡± As Yang Chen listened to their conversation, he began to worry that his master might actually drag him along. He wasn¡¯t too keen on going to Central Continent right now. After all, Feng Yuwan was already pregnant, and if his calctions were correct, Zhao Shirou should have already given birth. He hadn¡¯t even fulfilled much of his responsibilities as a father yet. But just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind: [Ding, detected the Destiny of the Female Lead, Zhan Qiuyun!] [Friendly reminder: Zhan Qiuyun is the master of the Son of Destiny!] Huh? Yang Chen was stunned. Zhan Qiuyun? The Destiny of the Female Lead? The master of the Son of Destiny? Is a new Son of Destiny about to appear? The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
