“Senior Brother, I… I’ll go call Sister Su and tell her to come back earlier!” Lin Qingxue said in a fluster, her face completely red as she hurriedly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
She truly didn’t dare continue getting tormented like this.
If this kept going, she would die on the bed sooner or later. She needed to rest at least two days before doing this again.
“This girl… she stirred up the fire and then ran away herself?” Ye Chen looked at Lin Qingxue’s fleeing figure and muttered with a bitter smile. What was he supposed to do now? Since Lin Qingxue had escaped, Ye Chen could only shift his gaze toward Lu Mengyao, who was seated on the other side.
“Mengyao, you were quite relaxed yesterday…” Ye Chen smiled as he said, “Today, let Senior Brother take good care of you.” At times like this, he truly saw the benefit of having multiple women around. When one couldn’t do it, there was always another option.
“Senior Brother…” Lu Mengyao didn’t refuse. She shyly nodded, her face completely red. Yesterday, she had listened at the wall the entire night, already burning with desire and feeling suffocated with longing. Now that Ye Chen took the initiative to invite her, she was naturally more than willing. In fact, she was eager and immediately stood up.
“Don’t worry, this time Senior Brother will be gentle,” Ye Chen promised, then picked up the charming and curvaceous Lu Mengyao and strode toward the nearby room.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one year of cultivation reward.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Immortal-grade weapon—Feather Sword.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Immortal Slaying Talisman (inject spiritual energy to activate, its power equals the full-strength strike of a Void Refining Realm cultivator!).]
Ye Chen was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard. Immortal Slaying Talisman? What shocked him wasn’t the name, but the explanation of its power. Equal to the full-strength strike of a Void Refining Realm cultivator! That was enough to instantly kill any cultivator below the Spirit Severing Realm.
Even the sect master Liu Ruyan was only at peak Spirit Severing Realm. If he had possessed this talisman back then, the Ye family would never have been exterminated. That so-called young sect master of the Heavenly Mystic Holy Land, those Nascent Soul Realm guardians—he could have slaughtered them all instantly.
Coming back to his senses, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh happily, his mood growing even more excited. “This is truly good stuff!” With this Immortal Slaying Talisman, he now had another powerful life-saving trump card. If he ever encountered the young sect master of the Heavenly Mystic Holy Land again, he was confident he could kill him and take revenge.
He hadn’t expected that dual cultivation with a Profound-grade spiritual Root like Lu Mengyao would also grant such a generous reward.
Ye Chen instantly realized that each time dual cultivation triggered rewards, there was a chance of obtaining high-level treasures—and the higher the partner’s spiritual Root tier, the greater the probability of powerful rewards.
Thinking of this, a bold idea sprouted in his mind. Trade quantity for quality!
“Senior Brother, what are you talking about?”
Hearing Ye Chen muttering, Lu Mengyao couldn’t help asking curiously. She looked up at him with confusion. She didn’t see Ye Chen holding anything—did she imagine it? But she hadn’t even fallen asleep… her mind felt completely scattered.
Ye Chen lowered his head to look at her, a faint smile appearing on his face. “There’s no time to explain…”
Lu Mengyao: ???
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one year of cultivation reward.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Invisibility Talisman (lasts one hour).]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Tracking Mother-Child Gu (after locking onto target aura, release the child gu, and track it using the mother gu).]
An hour later… the room finally fell silent.
Ye Chen leaned against the bed, wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling incredibly thirsty and gulping down water. Thinking back to the flash of reward notifications earlier, he couldn’t help feeling slightly disappointed—it was such a pity!
He had indeed obtained talismans and gu insects again, but none could compare to the Immortal Slaying Talisman. There were no equally powerful offensive talismans this time. Beside him, Lu Mengyao had already fallen asleep in exhaustion, and Ye Chen himself was also thoroughly drained. Even if he continued working hard now, it would be difficult to obtain something like the Immortal Slaying Talisman again.
“It seems I still need partners with higher-grade spiritual Roots. That way the explosion rate will be higher,” Ye Chen muttered, and the first person he thought of was Liu Ruyan. Her explosion rate should be extremely high. But as a mere disciple, it seemed unrealistic to sleep with the sect master. Liu Ruyan was a Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse. Forcing anything was impossible—if anything, she’d probably overpower him instead…
He could only retreat to second-best and deepen his connection with Su Nianwan, who possessed an Earth-grade spiritual Root. Her explosion rate wasn’t low either, and each soul-shaking round granted him double rewards.
Ye Chen firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, there would definitely be gains!
“Senior Brother, this is bad!”
“Sister Su is in trouble!”
Outside, Lin Qingxue’s anxious voice suddenly rang out, full of panic. Ye Chen’s heart instantly sank. Something was wrong. He immediately jumped up, hurriedly put on his clothes, and rushed out of the room, fixing his clothing while running. Get faster updates on novelping.com.
He looked at the approaching Lin Qingxue and asked, “What happened? Where’s Nianwan?”
“Sister Su is missing!” Lin Qingxue stopped in front of him, her face pale with worry as she panted heavily. “The sisters from her courtyard said she left several hours ago. They even heard sounds of fighting outside, but when they went to check, they didn’t see anyone…”
“It’s possible Sister Su was kidnapped!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned deeply, his expression instantly turning serious. He remembered being followed earlier and immediately realized they had been targeted.
Who could it be?
The sect’s Supreme Elders?
Vice sect master Jiang Yuyan?
Or… a powerhouse from the Heavenly Mystic Holy Land?
At the moment, he still couldn’t determine whether the Supreme Elders within the sect were enemies or allies.
The only one he could truly trust was Liu Ruyan. Su Nianwan was assigned to him by Liu Ruyan for dual cultivation, so Liu Ruyan definitely wouldn’t abduct her.
If any Supreme Elder wanted to summon Su Nianwan, it would only take one word. Even Liu Ruyan wouldn’t dare stop them. This was the inner sect of the Blissful Sect. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Mystic Holy Land was, it was impossible for them to sneak in and silently abduct a personal disciple.
Other sect disciples definitely didn’t have the ability to deal with Su Nianwan.
The only truly suspicious person… was vice sect master Jiang Yuyan.
“Could it be her?” Ye Chen muttered. She was Liu Ruyan’s greatest rival. If she wanted to uncover the secret of the courtyard, whether by tailing him or kidnapping Su Nianwan, both possibilities made perfect sense.
Jiang Yuyan definitely had the greatest suspicion!
