Although Zhao Yan’er had removed her disguise, her facial features had not changed. Ye Yang still recognized her at a glance.
What shocked him was how a woman who had once appeared so ugly could now become so breathtakingly beautiful overnight.
Was this truly the cautious and plain-looking woman he had known before?
Moreover, he noticed that Zhao Yan’er now carried an alluring aura of mature femininity.
At this moment, Zhao Yan’er understood Su Changsheng’s intention.
However, she did not understand why Su Changsheng was targeting Ye Yang, a mere Handyman Disciple.
“In the past, to avoid attracting trouble, I deliberately made myself look ugly and never revealed my true appearance.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang felt as though ten thousand horses were galloping through his heart.
Such a stunning beauty had been right beside him, and he had never noticed.
Although he had not deliberately distanced himself from Zhao Yan’er like the other Handyman Disciples, he had only spoken a few extra words to her and barely counted as her friend.
Was it too late now to show her concern?
At that moment, Su Changsheng suddenly wrapped an arm around Zhao Yan’er’s slender and soft waist from behind and looked at Ye Yang with a playful expression.
Ye Yang’s eyes nearly split in fury at the sight.
“Who are you? Let go of Zhao Yan’er!”
“Zhao Yan’er, don’t be afraid. I will never let you fall into this man’s clutches.”
With that, Ye Yang threw a punch at Su Changsheng.
He firmly believed that Zhao Yan’er was being forced.
After all, Zhao Yan’er was weak and so beautiful.
Furthermore, he could tell at a glance that Su Changsheng was not a good person.
If he rescued Zhao Yan’er from Su Changsheng’s grasp, she would surely be grateful. Perhaps in the end, he could even win her heart.
Su Changsheng kicked out with one foot, sending Ye Yang flying.
“With strength like yours, you dare to play the hero saving the beauty?”
“Ye Yang, I am a Candidate Holy Son. You, a mere Handyman Disciple, dare to shout at me and commit such disrespect. Your crime is unforgivable. Today, I will act on behalf of the Enforcement Hall and execute you on the spot.”
Hearing this, Ye Yang was horrified.
But he had not lost because of inferior talent. It was only because his cultivation level was lower.
“Cough… cough. Even if you are a Candidate Holy Son, you are only relying on having a higher cultivation level. Within the same realm, I would kill you like slaughtering a dog. Do you dare suppress your cultivation to my level and fight me fairly?”
Su Changsheng immediately felt that Ye Yang was an idiot.
His cultivation was clearly stronger. He could easily suppress and toy with him. Why would he lower his cultivation and fight fairly? What meaning would that have?
That would only create trouble for himself.
If you lack strength, do not blame others for being stronger.
Why not reflect on why your own cultivation is so weak?
Everyone advances through hard cultivation. Why should others suppress themselves for you?
Seeing that Su Changsheng remained silent, Ye Yang continued to provoke him.
“What? A dignified Candidate Holy Son has no courage to fight me at the same realm?”
Ye Yang wanted to stir Su Changsheng’s pride and force him into a same-realm battle.
If they fought at the same realm, he would surely have a chance to turn the situation around.
“Ridiculous. You are a mere Handyman Disciple. What qualifications do you have to fight me at the same realm?”
“This is the result of hard cultivation. If your cultivation is low, do not blame others for being stronger.”
With that, Su Changsheng directly released his soul power, enveloping Ye Yang.
Under Ye Yang’s terrified gaze, Su Changsheng completely annihilated his soul.
Only a perfectly intact corpse remained.
Immediately afterward, Su Changsheng swept his spiritual sense through Ye Yang’s cave dwelling. Beneath a wooden plank under the bed, he found Ye Yang’s golden finger, the Time Treasure Bottle.
Zhao Yan’er watched as Su Changsheng entered Ye Yang’s wooden hut and emerged with a treasure bottle emitting extraordinary light. She could not help but feel pity for Ye Yang.
Su Changsheng’s actions were clearly premeditated. Ye Yang had long been targeted, yet he had remained unaware.
What surprised her even more was that Su Changsheng had targeted Ye Yang for a magical artifact.
What rank was this artifact that it attracted Su Changsheng’s attention?
At that moment, Su Changsheng handed the Time Treasure Bottle to Zhao Yan’er and said calmly, “Keep this treasure for now. Later, I will give you some heavenly treasure seeds. Place them inside this bottle.”
Zhao Yan’er felt overwhelmed.
She had not expected Su Changsheng to entrust such a treasure to her directly.
Even though she had become his woman, they had known each other for less than a day.
“Senior Brother Su, what does this treasure do?”
Zhao Yan’er carefully examined the Time Treasure Bottle but could not discern its miraculous nature, so she asked curiously.
“This bottle itself was originally a mortal object. But it fused with a seed of the Great Dao of Time and has transformed into an Immortal Rank supreme treasure.”
Hearing the words “Immortal Rank,” Zhao Yan’er was deeply shocked.
Even the mighty Supreme Profound Holy Land did not possess a single Immortal Rank treasure.
Yet Ye Yang, a mere Handyman Disciple, had held one. His fortune had truly defied the heavens.
No wonder Ye Yang could fight beyond his level. It was likely inseparable from this artifact.
Unfortunately, Ye Yang had not understood the principle that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure invites disaster.
With only cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, he could never protect such a supreme treasure.
“Its effect is also heaven-defying. Heavenly treasures that require hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to mature can fully ripen in a short time once placed inside.”
“As for how long exactly, I am not certain. You can observe it when you use it.”
Hiss.
As expected of an Immortal Rank supreme treasure. Its effect was truly heaven-defying.
It directly solved one of the greatest problems in cultivating heavenly treasures.
Used properly, they would never lack heavenly treasures again.
With Su Changsheng’s status as a Candidate Holy Son, obtaining various heavenly treasure seeds would be effortless.
“I have a cultivation technique here. When we cultivate together in the future, it will greatly benefit our advancement.”
As he spoke, Su Changsheng tapped Zhao Yan’er’s forehead with one finger, transmitting the Eternal Yin-Yang Scripture to her.
Fortunately, the Eternal Yin-Yang Scripture had no threshold. Otherwise, someone with talent as poor as Zhao Yan’er would never be able to learn it.
After receiving the contents of the Eternal Yin-Yang Scripture, Zhao Yan’er nodded shyly and said, “Senior Brother Su, do not worry. I will study the contents of this cultivation technique diligently.”
She had originally wondered where she could learn techniques to please Su Changsheng. Now he had directly given her one.
“This is a Supreme Dual Cultivation Art. Only my women are allowed to cultivate it. You are not the only one learning it. There are others as well. You must work hard.”
As expected, Su Changsheng had other women besides her.
She wondered how many he currently had and how she compared to them.
She had to find a way to make her position in Su Changsheng’s heart surpass the others.
