Chapter 185
Chu Xi left, carrying the unconscious Xiao Dong, while Yang Chen returned alone to his residence.
Qing’er was playing with the tricolor spirit bird. The mont she saw him, she ran over and wrapped herself around his arm.
“Brother, just now Xiao Ling drank so Profound Ice Spirit Water and broke through. Now, she’s reached the Eighth Stage of the Golden Core Realm! I need to quickly improve my realm too! Brother, could you guide in my cultivation?” Qing’er said, pleading sweetly.
Then, she sniffed the air. With a pout, she muttered: “Brother, you sll like a woman’s fragrance! It seems like it’s from that Senior Sister Chu Xi! Hmph!”
Yang Chen was taken aback. This girl’s sense of sll was remarkably keen. But indeed, Chu Xi’s scent was quite fragrant. After holding her for so long, it wasn’t surprising that her scent lingered on him.
“Qing’er, if you want to improve your cultivation, I’ll find you a master at the Heavenly Dao Holy Land in a few days,” Yang Chen said, patting her on the head.
However, Qing’er clung to his arm, pouting and protesting: “But Brother, you’re a Soul Transformation cultivator, aren’t you able to teach yourself? I want Brother to be the one guiding in cultivation!”
Yang Chen felt a bit helpless. This girl was becoming more attached to him every day. She clung to his arm, shaking it insistently. Although it was a bit childish, the sensation of her closeness made it difficult for Yang Chen to simply see her as a child anymore.
Sigh.
This girl had grown so much in just a few years. Although not as developed as Chu Xi, the difference wasn’t too great.
Looking at Qing’er’s still youthful face, Yang Chen quickly suppressed any inappropriate thoughts. Then he instructed her to display her cultivation techniques and powers. He pointed out the areas where she needed improvent.
The next day, Yang Chen arrived in front of Zhan Qiuyun’s wooden hut. This woman had specifically requested his presence yesterday, so how could he refuse?
“Martial Aunt, are you there?”
At his call, the door to the hut opened.
“Yang Chen, you’re here. Co on in.” Zhan Qiuyun’s elegant voice drifted from within.
Yang Chen entered the hut. Zhan Qiuyun’s hut was quite spacious inside.
Just as Yang Chen stepped inside, Zhan Qiuyun erged from another room. She was dressed in her usual floor-length moon robe, which gracefully accentuated her shapely figure, exuding a natural aura of purity. However, her hair was not pinned up but fell loosely over her shoulders and back, damp and glistening.
Beads of water still clung to her fair skin, with a hint of flushed color on her face that hadn’t faded yet.
In the inner chamber, a carved wooden tub emanated steam. White petals floated atop the water, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
“It seems I’ve co at a wrong ti! Was Martial Aunt just having bathing just now?”
Seeing this, a mischievous smile curved Yang Chen’s lips.
Zhan Qiuyun’s appearance was a clear indication that she had just been bathing. She’d thrown on her clothes while still wet.
“Hehe.”
“What’s with the smile, Yang Chen? Do you regret arriving a bit too late? The water is still warm; would you like to take a soak?”
Zhan Qiuyun said, stepping aside slightly.
Bathing in Zhan Qiuyun’s bathwater was sothing many cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Holy Land would fight for, but Yang Chen had no interest in such peculiar tastes. Even though Zhan Qiuyun was indeed a rare beauty.
“Martial Aunt jests. This nephew holds you in high regard and would never be so disrespectful!” Yang Chen said, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture.
“Tch!” Zhan Qiuyun clicked her tongue in disbelief.
This little rascal claid to respect her? He was full of lies.
At that mont, Zhan Qiuyun suddenly asked: “Yang Chen, tell , did your master obtain the Yin-Yang Mirror from that small, shattered dinsion in the Xuantian Sect?”
Yang Chen’s expression froze montarily.
If she’d asked this question before, he wouldn’t have been able to answer, and he would have pretended not to know what the Yin-Yang Mirror was.
But now … his master had already inford the Heavenly Dao Holy Land about obtaining the Yin-Yang Mirror, so Zhan Qiuyun clearly knew about it by now. This secret was no longer a secret.
“That’s correct! Martial Aunt, you’re quite perceptive!” Yang Chen nodded and offered her a complint.
Zhan Qiuyun clenched her teeth lightly, muttering to herself, Just as I thought.
A few days earlier, she had heard from an elder in her family that Zhan Lingshuang had brought back the long-lost Yin-Yang Mirror, a sacred artifact of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, which had been missing for hundreds of thousands of years.
She had imdiately thought of the collapsed miniature world in the forbidden area behind the Xuantian Sect.
So, it really was there!
When the two of them had erged from that place, they must have just acquired the Yin-Yang Mirror.
How infuriating.
Zhan Qiuyun felt a pang of regret. Even with the vast resources of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, only a few sacred artifacts existed. To wield one would bring unimaginable benefits. Especially the Yin-Yang Mirror.
If she could obtain it, perhaps she could use its inner power to neutralize the dark chill in her Dark Moon Physique, allowing her to break through to the Void Refinent Realm.
Then, the position of Holy Maiden would also be within her grasp.
Unfortunately, the Yin-Yang Mirror had already chosen Zhan Lingshuang as its master.
In the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, she couldn’t simply seize it.
“Lingshuang, that wretched girl. Even after a thousand years, she guards herself so tightly against her own elder sister! Hmph. In that case, I’ll just squeeze every bit of use out of her disciple!”
Zhan Qiuyun’s beautiful eyes turned to Yang Chen with a hint of amusent.
“Yang Chen, last ti I did you a great favor! I even helped you win over a great beauty like Chu Xi! This ti, you better put in so real effort!”
Hearing this, Yang Chen was montarily taken aback.
Put in real effort? Hehe.
The way she phrased that. One might think he was preparing to score a ho run.
“Martial Aunt, don’t worry. Whatever amount of primal yang energy you need, this nephew is willing to give his all!”
