'So this is what it feels like to have an immortal-grade body.'
Chen Fang slowly raised his hand, looking at the skin of his hand, which seemed paler than before, as if all impurities had vanished out of nowhere.
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips. With his first harem member, he had finally broken the shackle of the title 'trash' that had weighed so heavily on him, and he could now experience the thrill of cultivation like others.
"Elder Chen, are you alright?" Su Qingxue, hearing no reply from Chen Fang, looked up with disappointment. However, seeing him staring blankly at his hands, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Hearing Su Qingxue's worried voice, Chen Fang finally broke free from his trance and looked at her.
She was currently adorned in a white robe, her long black hair loose. Her sharp nose bridge and her diamond-like green eyes made her appear mesmerizing now that Chen Fang looked at her face a little longer.
For a moment, it seemed like he was going to get lost in her beauty.
But controlling his thoughts, he slowly extended his hand toward her and, with a smile, said, "Get up. Since I took you out of those servant quarters, it was only natural that I should help you. Instead of kneeling in your frail condition, you should have just asked me."
Su Qingxue looked at him. Not knowing how many years had passed, a warm smile finally appeared on her face.
She didn't know when the last time was that she had heard words like these.
As she got up, holding onto Chen Fang's arm, he said, "From now on, I'm your Dao Partner, who shall help you recover your severed meridians, regain your cultivation base, and grow stronger."
Before he knew it, Su Qingxue had closed her eyes, her heart pounding in her chest. This foreign yet beautiful feeling was giving her butterflies in her stomach.
Chen Fang, seeing her eyes closed, immediately thanked his luck and the system before pressing his lips onto hers.
The taste of rose immediately took over Chen Fang's lips as his hand slowly wandered to her cheek. His lips gently parted and bit hers lightly before pushing them back slowly.
Su Qingxue didn't understand what was going on or why Elder Chen was tasting her lips like that, but this only intensified the fluttering feeling in her heart. She began to push her head forward, keeping her lips open for Elder Chen to taste them.
Chen Fang, feeling the velvety texture under his lips, slipped out his tongue and slowly began to rub it against hers, their warm breaths crashing into each other.
Engulfed in this sensation, Chen Fang also closed his eyes, savoring every moment and allowing even Su Qingxue's tongue to invade his mouth and taste him. However, just then, realizing that his little dragon was now roaring in his pants, he pulled himself back.
With Su Qingxue's hands on his chest and her eyes full of need, he wiped his finger across her lips and said, "You taste like rose, and I like roses."
Su Qingxue couldn't understand why Elder Chen was giving her a look she had only seen on her father's face when he looked at her mother.
However, it wasn't as if she disliked it. Seeing this warmth and the taste of him lingering on her lips made her realize that she was no longer a lowly ant.
Her status had finally risen from trash; moreover, she was finally beyond the grasp of people like Steward Cao.
Rubbing his fingers against her skin, Chen Fang noticed the expression in her eyes changing continuously and realized that she might have been going through quite a bit of worry.
But now that she was his woman, he was going to spoil her as much as possible while making her stronger so that even in his absence, she wouldn't be bullied by others.
Su Qingxue, who was lost in thoughts of her own, looked at his hand on her cheek and then at the warm expression on his face. 'Only those close to me called me Xue'er. But now I have no one else besides Elder Chen who believes in me, so it doesn't even matter.'
She slowly nodded her head, a shade of pink blushing across her cheeks.
Chen Fang smiled. "Then Xue'er, why don't you try calling me Fang'er?" he teased.
But just as he said that, Xue'er pushed him back, her face flushed and unwilling to look up, her hands knitted tightly together.
"Ha ha, alright, alright, I won't tease my Xue'er. If you don't want to call me that, you can just call me Husband or Master—whatever my Xue'er prefers." Chen Fang said, massaging his chest as if showing he was hurt.
Xue'er, with her face still flushed, looked up and saw Chen Fang's handsome appearance.
By becoming his Dual Cultivation partner, they were bound to do things only a husband and wife should do. Moreover, he had already announced her as his Dao Partner, which meant he had accepted her as his wife.
"Husband… Master, you shouldn't tease Xue'er like that." Su Qingxue managed to utter the word, but in the end realized she wasn't yet ready to say it out loud.
Chen Fang nodded with satisfaction, having successfully heard the word he needed to hear, even if only for a second. Then he said, "I won't then. So for now, return to your residence area and keep an eye on Yang Kai's sword practice, because in the future, when I visit other places, you'll be the one in charge."
'You'll be in charge.' Those words made Xue'er feel happy; however, realizing what that meant also made her a little disappointed.
'That will be in the future. For now, I should do everything Master needs me to.' With those thoughts, Su Qingxue turned around and began to walk toward the disciple residences.
With Xue'er gone, Chen Fang didn't continue standing there and decided to descend Sword Cloud Peak.
Right now, he needed to gather some information on Dual Cultivation. All he currently knew were the positions, but how to utilize them and the rest, he had no idea.
