With the system’s reminder, Su Changsheng suddenly understood.
This woman was truly clever. She even knew how to disguise herself.
Let him, Su Changsheng, save this little beauty and pull her out of suffering, so she would not be ruined by other filthy men.
With him, he could guarantee that no one would ever bully her. As long as she served him well, she could live a comfortable and carefree life.
Moreover, he had the ability to help Zhao Yan’er break through the limits of her talent and become a powerful cultivator.
“This Senior Brother… what exactly did you come to find me for?”
“Let me introduce myself. I am Su Changsheng, Candidate Holy Son of Heavenly Azure Peak.”
When Zhao Yan’er heard the words “Candidate Holy Son,” she was utterly shocked.
That was a major figure whose status was comparable to an elder.
But why would Ye Yang offend someone like Su Changsheng?
“Senior Brother Su, I have never met you before. Why have you come to find me?”
“It’s simple. I want you to become my woman.”
The moment she heard those words, Zhao Yan’er panicked.
She had already made herself look this ugly, yet someone still took a liking to her. Was this Candidate Holy Son’s taste truly so abnormal? Could he even bring himself to desire someone as ugly as her?
“Senior Brother Su, I am so ugly. I fear I am unworthy of your status.”
“Within the Supreme Profound Holy Land, there are countless women far more beautiful than me. If you were to take me as your woman, I am afraid you would become the laughingstock of other candidate Holy Sons.”
“Someone of your standing should pursue a peerless beauty like the Saintess, not an unsightly Handyman Disciple like me.”
Zhao Yan’er was intelligent. She deliberately mentioned other candidate Holy Sons, hoping to make Su Changsheng retreat.
In her eyes, a person of his status must value reputation greatly. He would never allow himself to be mocked by his peers.
“You are actually very beautiful. This ugly appearance is only a disguise.”
“Change back. Stop hurting my eyes.”
Having her disguise exposed, Zhao Yan’er’s pupils shrank violently, and fear filled her eyes.
Had she made a mistake, or did someone at his level possess methods capable of seeing through her concealment?
She had never encountered someone of the Candidate Holy Son’s standing before. She had no idea how powerful their methods truly were.
A bitter smile curved on Zhao Yan’er’s lips. She then removed her disguise, revealing a peerless face.
Her skin was as smooth as jade, stunningly beautiful. Even compared to Master and the Saintess, she surpassed them slightly. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Damn.
Was this what it meant to put all one’s attribute points into appearance?
Under Su Changsheng’s burning gaze, Zhao Yan’er felt uncomfortable.
Twisting her fingers shyly, she asked, “Senior Brother Su, did you come just to make me your woman?”
“That’s right. What? Are you unwilling, or do you think I am not worthy of you?”
“I… I don’t mean that. It’s just that someone with such poor talent like me might only become a plaything to you.”
“I’ll ask you one question. Ye Yang or any other man has not touched you, correct?”
“No. My disguise has always been effective. They all despise my ugliness and stay away from me.”
“Senior Brother, I can be your woman, but can you promise not to abandon me?”
“I do not ask you to treat me like the one you truly love. I only ask that you treat me as a woman, not as a toy.”
As she spoke, Zhao Yan’er cautiously raised her head and secretly observed Su Changsheng’s expression, searching for an answer.
Su Changsheng chuckled softly and said, “Do not compare me with those useless fools.”
“They only covet your beauty and can offer you no guarantees.”
“I am different. I may be lustful, but I can give every one of my women a guarantee. You will never have to look at anyone else’s face but mine.”
“And I am possessive. Any woman I have touched will never be allowed to be tainted by another man.”
Hearing his promise, Zhao Yan’er’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up with a brilliance she had never shown before.
She had always imagined whether she would one day meet her destined man, someone who could allow her to survive peacefully in this world where the strong devour the weak.
Had she been so fortunate as to meet him today?
Zhao Yan’er was a clever woman. Even after receiving Su Changsheng’s promise, she did not show complete joy.
She would not be fooled by a few sweet words.
Along her journey, she had seen many men who spoke beautifully at first meeting, only to abandon their wives and children later.
Although she could only choose to believe Su Changsheng for now, if he showed any abnormal behavior in the future, she would have to consider a way out for herself.
Two hours later.
Su Changsheng held Zhao Yan’er’s small hand, looking satisfied, and asked, “Do you want to improve your aptitude and become a cultivation genius?”
“Of course I do.” She then revealed a bitter smile. “But even if such pills or heavenly treasures truly exist in this world, they are not something a useless person like me could ever obtain.”
Such precious treasures were beyond her reach. Not to mention whether Su Changsheng would be willing to give them to her, even he, as a Candidate Holy Son, might not possess such things.
And even if he did, he would surely use them on himself first.
For a man, women were plentiful. Opportunities to improve one’s talent were exceedingly rare.
Especially for someone like Su Changsheng, whose innate talent was already extraordinary. If he advanced further, he would stand at the absolute peak. No one would willingly give up such an opportunity.
“Hehe. I told you not to compare me with those useless fools.”
“I will take you somewhere now. Do not resist with your consciousness.”
With that, Su Changsheng communicated with the Eternal Inner Heaven Realm, enveloping himself and Zhao Yan’er.
In an instant, both of them disappeared from where they stood.
Inside the Eternal Inner Heaven Realm.
It resembled a vast golden ocean. Countless golden streams of energy surged endlessly. The air itself was filled at every moment with an overwhelming sense of power and grandeur.
Su Changsheng and Zhao Yan’er appeared within the Eternal Inner Heaven Realm. Immediately, countless golden streams of energy flowed toward them.
Then, those golden streams began to enter their bodies continuously.
Su Changsheng felt an unprecedented comfort. It was as if he had merged with this world.
Through his Eternal Dao Body, he could manipulate the Eternal Inner Heaven Realm at will.
As the golden energy entered Zhao Yan’er’s body, her constitution began to change subtly.
Threads of black impurities were expelled from her body.
Her entire body felt lighter than ever before.
The cultivation bottleneck that had trapped her for years loosened at that very moment. Taking advantage of the momentum, she broke through to the 4th stage Qi Refining Realm.
Yet this was not the end. Zhao Yan’er could clearly feel her cultivation rising rapidly.
With every passing second, her cultivation advanced significantly, equivalent to several days of cultivation in the outside world.
