168: Chapter 165 Qin Lan’s Cunning Plan_1 168: Chapter 165 Qin Lan’s Cunning Plan_1 Shen Yourong looked astonished; she never expected the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body to be a girl—this was even more outrageous than the effeminate n she had imagined.
How could a girl help alleviate the side effects brought on by her physical condition?
Could it be she would have to…
As this thought crossed her mind, Shen Yourong’s face suddenly turned bright red, her heart started beating faster, and her breathing beca rapid; she almost dared not look directly at Chu ngyao, who was dressed in phoenix coronet and robes of rank and possessed unparalleled beauty.
Lu Chuan was also sowhat surprised, but he quickly thought of Chu ngyao’s constant struggle with the cold syndro, which closely resembled the side effects of the Profound Yin Sacred Body ntioned by Shen Ruhai.
Could it be that ngyao suffered from the cold syndro because she was the so-called Profound Yin Sacred Body?
Lu Chuan could sense the uniqueness of Chu ngyao’s body, but he was unaware of the idea of the Profound Yin Sacred Body and Profound Yang Sacred Body.
Even with his inherited mories, it was impossible to know everything under the sky, so it was normal not to notice.
Chu ngyao looked utterly confused, “What…
what just happened?”
Shen Ruhai said, “That was the token for identifying the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body, Miss.
The token has chosen you, aning you are the Profound Yin Sacred Body, the person my Shen family has been looking for!”
Chu ngyao was still utterly confused, “Looking…
looking for for what?”
Shen Ruhai said, “My daughter is the Profound Yang Sacred Body, and you are the Profound Yin Sacred Body.
If you two…
um, help each other, you can eradicate the side effects within each other’s bodies.”
He then asked, “Is there an extrely cold energy in your body that often tortures you unbearably?”
Chu ngyao nodded and said, “I used to suffer like that, but I’m fine now.”
Shen Ruhai looked curious, “You’re fine now?
How did you cure it?”
Chu ngyao blushed and glanced at Lu Chuan; she obviously felt too embarrassed to say she had done that sort of thing with Lu Chuan, which dissolved the cold energy in her body, and vaguely said, “It was…
it was Lu Chuan who cured .”
Shen Ruhai and Shen Yourong both turned to look at Lu Chuan.
Shen Yourong said, “Father, I told you Lu Chuan could cure the side effects, but you didn’t believe .”
Shen Ruhai pondered for a mont and said, “Lu Chuan can cure, but it’s definitely just treating the symptoms, not the cause.
Otherwise, that expert wouldn’t have asked to find the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body.”
Shen Yourong said sowhat angrily, “But the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body is a girl.
Could it be that you still want to do that kind of thing with another girl?”
After speaking, she beca so embarrassed she wished she could find a crack to crawl into.
Shen Ruhai was also sowhat embarrassed and said, “Don’t be hasty.
Since the expert said so, there must be other thods.
In any case, it’s good that we found the possessor of the Profound Yin Sacred Body.
It seems we’re in the right place after all.”
Chu ngyao was still sowhat confused.
She turned to Lu Chuan and said, “So you weren’t discussing marriage.”
Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I do have a marriage arrangent with Ms.
Shen, but I’ve already withdrawn from it.”
Chu ngyao was startled, then quickly a thought erged: did he withdraw for ?
Once this idea appeared, all the grievances in her heart instantly vanished, turning into delight, and she couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
She wanted to approach Lu Chuan to get close to him.
But at that mont, Shen Ruhai grabbed her arm with one hand and Shen Yourong’s with the other, placing both their hands together.
“Miss, my daughter’s side effects still rely on you to resolve.
I will have to trouble you a lot in the future.
Since you two girls cannot be spouses, being best of sisters is also possible,” Shen Ruhai said with a smile.
However, the next second, a strange force burst forth from the bodies of Chu ngyao and Shen Yourong, rging together to form a light screen that enveloped them both.
A powerful wave of energy appeared, repelling everything and everyone aside from Chu ngyao and Shen Yourong.
Lu Chuan was sent flying, accidentally hitting his head against a wall.
Due to his already weak body, he passed out imdiately.
Even a mighty person like Shen Ruhai couldn’t withstand that force, being flung four or five ters away, but he fared much better than Lu Chuan, at least managing to steady his form.
Shen Ruhai furrowed his brows, “What just happened?”
Both Chu ngyao and Shen Yourong looked panicked, and after the energy dissipated, both fainted.
…
Three days later.
Lu Chuan woke up from his sleep.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Nanqing’s face, full of charm, staring at him intently.
“Sister-in-law…”
Mu Nanqing ca back to her senses, slightly flustered.
She quickly stood up and said, “Xiaochuan, you’re awake.”
Lu Chuan sat up and asked, “How long have I slept?”
Mu Nanqing said, “For three whole days and nights, but fortunately Old Zhou examined you and said you were just overly weak and needed good rest.
Otherwise, I would’ve been really worried.”
Lu Chuan nodded and, rembering what had happened before he passed out, quickly asked, “What happened to ngyao and Ms.
Shen afterwards?
Why did such an astonishing change occur when the two of them made contact?”
Mu Nanqing said, “Afterwards, they both passed out, and Patriarch Shen couldn’t figure out what happened, but he surmised it must be related to the constitution of the two individuals.”
“Then, after a day and a night, with neither of them waking up, Patriarch Shen realized sothing was amiss.”
“He apologized to Chu ngyao’s parents and made arrangents to take Chu ngyao back to the Shen family, saying that the expert would definitely know what was going on and could surely find a way to awaken the two.”
“Patriarch Shen promised that once the two woke up, he would take Chu ngyao as his adopted daughter and impart to her the Shen family’s secret techniques as compensation.
Chu ngyao’s parents agreed, but to ensure her safety, they accompanied her to the Shen family.”
After hearing this, Lu Chuan felt a sense of longing rise within him, feeling a bit empty inside, unsure why.
Mu Nanqing gazed at Lu Chuan and asked, “Are you feeling a bit upset because you didn’t get to see Chu ngyao one last ti?”
Lu Chuan hastily said, “Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, I…”
At that point, he suddenly ran out of words to say.
Mu Nanqing sighed with a hint of grievance and said, “Why be shy?
I was watching when you and she kissed.”
Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “Sister-in-law, how could you have seen that?”
Mu Nanqing said, “I was worried, so I had Su Ming take to secretly watch at the Long family.”
Lu Chuan’s face imdiately turned red with embarrassnt, feeling like a child caught misbehaving by a parent.
“Sister-in-law, I was pretty cool that day, wasn’t I?” Lu Chuan tried to change the subject.
Mu Nanqing rolled her eyes at him, “You’ve been asleep for three days.
You must be hungry.
I’ll go make you so noodles.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re the best!” Lu Chuan chuckled.
Mu Nanqing turned and left the room, her expression turning sowhat lancholic.
Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was unclear about what had transpired between Chu ngyao and Shen Yourong, considering the Shen family was an ancient martial family with broad knowledge, not to ntion that there was an expert ntioned by Shen Ruhai, the two of them would certainly be fine.
As for Chu ngyao, turning misfortune into a blessing by becoming Shen Ruhai’s goddaughter was an opportunity in disguise for her.
“I’ve fulfilled my promise to her, so at least I haven’t broken my word, but I can’t help feeling that I still owe her a lot…”
Lu Chuan sighed softly and stopped dwelling on it.
Even though Long Tianya and his son, Long Hao, were dead, he still had to face the more terrifying Great Elder of the Profound Sect and find a way to clarify the Great Elder’s identity to avenge his mother.
The burden on his shoulders was still heavy, so what he needed to do was still find ways to enhance his strength; otherwise, once the Great Elder of the Profound Sect discovered he was Luo Yunshang’s son, he would certainly find ways to take his life.
After a while, Mu Nanqing brought over a bowl of noodles and handed it to Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan took a couple of bites and said, “Sister-in-law, the noodles you made are really delicious!”
Mu Nanqing, not wanting to engage with him, said, “You eat.
I’m going out for a walk.”
Then, she left the Hanging Gourd dical Hall.
“Miss Shen of the Shen family is very skilled.
Now that Chu ngyao has woken up, she too might have the chance to receive personal instruction in the Shen family’s secret techniques.
They all have the chance to beco peerless martial artists, while I can only be a burden to Xiaochuan.”
Mu Nanqing felt downcast, and she began to resent herself a little.
“I also wish I could possess impressive skills like them so that I could be Xiaochuan’s right-hand woman, instead of holding him back.”
She sighed and aimlessly kicked a pebble on the ground.
That’s when a pitch-black ring caught her eye.
She picked up the ring and observed it closely, noticing it was engraved with a monster that looked like a devil, which was sowhat frightening to behold.
The ring also exuded an aura of ancient simplicity.
“Who dropped this here?” Mu Nanqing turned her head to look around and saw no one.
After pondering for a mont, she pocketed the ring, muttering to herself, “I’ll keep it for now, and return it when soone cos looking for it.”
…
Inside a certain hotel.
Qin Lan and Ruan Nan had just finished their cultivation practice.
Ruan Nan, looking annoyed, said, “I can’t believe that guy Lu Chuan turned out to be so powerful.
Not only did he kill Long Tianya and Long Hao, but he also withstood more than a dozen Transcendent Realm skillful experts.
It was simply unexpected how he even managed to kill soone under the eyes of the Great Elder of the Profound Sect.
That guy is truly a freak.
Good thing I didn’t provoke him too much that day, or I might be six feet under by now.”
Qin Lan’s face was filled with wistfulness.
She too hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to be so formidable.
Most importantly, she had had the chance to be the woman of such a significant figure, but she had kicked Lu Chuan to the curb instead.
Moreover, reflecting on it, Lu Chuan only began to rise after she had dumped him, which made her feel a mix of regret and annoyance that she couldn’t vent.
“Dear, does that an we have no way to take revenge on him?” Qin Lan asked.
Ruan Nan said, “That kid is so tough, going after him for revenge would be suicide.”
“If our Sect Master were here, there’d be a chance to deal with him, but unfortunately, the Sect Master has recently beco obsessed with training and has already ruined several cauldrons.”
“The Sect Master is currently ordering the search for exceptionally talented cauldrons.
Lu Chuan would be suitable, but I’m not capable enough to capture him.
Otherwise, it would surely be a great achievent.”
Qin Lan’s eyes lit up and she asked, “Your Sect Master is a woman?”
Ruan Nan nodded, his face showing longing, “The Sect Master is a rare beauty in this world.
Her figure and face, just one glance is enough to srize you completely.
My biggest dream in life is to have the chance to cultivate with the Sect Master just once, though sadly, she doesn’t fancy .”
Qin Lan asked, “What do you an by ruining several cauldrons?”
Ruan Nan said, “The Sect Master’s practice is unique; she absorbs the essence of her dual cultivation partner to increase her own power.
After a few tis, the person is drained dry, becoming utterly useless.
Even the most extraordinary genius, after being played with by our Sect Master a few tis, will turn into unwanted trash, and so even lose their lives.”
Qin Lan’s eyes brightened as she said, “If that’s the case, couldn’t we use this thod to seek revenge on Lu Chuan?”
Ruan Nan replied, “Lu Chuan is not a fool.
Do you think he would agree to beco our Sect Master’s cauldron?”
Qin Lan smiled and said, “Of course he’s not foolish, but I know what he wants.
He longs to beco stronger.
We just need to prescribe the right solution, and we’ll definitely be able to lure him in.”
“And once he has been harvested by your Sect Master and becos useless, he’ll be at our rcy!”
Ruan Nan thought about it and found Qin Lan’s words to make sense.
A sly smile appeared on his face, “You really do have a lot of cunning ideas.
Since that’s the case, I’ll reward you with another cultivation session!”
