110: Chapter 110 Nangong Wan'er Refines Alchemy! Lu Chen Cannot Escape! A Second Blossom!
Half a month has passed since that word of congratulations.
The days in the Jiang Family were surprisingly peaceful.
Lu Chen's daily routine was very regular—in the morning, he would guide Ye Qingxian to Cultivate her Cultivation Technique; in the afternoon, he would accompany Jiang Yi for tea; and in the evening, he would be cornered by Nangong Waner for a brief chat.
The two women, both at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Stage Peak, would argue whenever they met, but as they bickered, they unexpectedly began to regain some of their former status as best friends.
At least, that was how it appeared on the surface.
Lu Chen was happy to enjoy the leisure, treating it like watching a play.
During this half month, he had been focused on one thing.
Repairing his Dao Heart.
Night fell.
Lu Chen sat alone in the bedroom of the guest courtyard, crossing his legs on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.
The Great Emperor Law circulated slowly within his body, and a golden Imperial Dao spiritual light seeped from between his brows, enveloping the entire room in a thin membrane of light.
He needed silence, he needed abstinence, and he needed to be free of desire.

However, fifteen days ago.
Nangong Waner had sought out Jiang Yi.
The two sat across from each other at a stone table with two cups of spiritual tea that remained untouched.
Nangong Waner spoke, her Peach Blossom Eyes fixed on the reflection in her teacup.
"Jiang Yi, you won. You've tasted him, and you've even met the parents."
Jiang Yi's hand holding the teacup paused, and her Phoenix eyes swept over.
"Hearing those words from your mouth, why do I feel like there's a knife hidden behind them?"
Nangong Waner smiled, a very faint smile.
"There's no knife, I'm just curious." She looked up, her Peach Blossom Eyes narrowing. "What did you use to be able to do whatever you wanted with Lu Chen?"
Jiang Yi felt delighted.
"the great emperor is also crazy."
She didn't intend to hide it, and even showed a hint of pride.
She took the now-empty dark red jade bottle from her storage ring and twirled it between her fingers.
"The ultimate Aphrodisiac left over from ancient times, a part of my mother's dowry. It's out of print; once it's used up, it's gone."
Nangong Waner looked at the empty bottle and nodded.
"Can you let me have a look?"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. "What's there to see?"
"I just want to smell the residual scent," Nangong Waner's tone was casual.
"I should at least know what I lost to."
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment before tossing the empty bottle over.
Nangong Waner caught it, brought it to the tip of her nose, and took a light sniff.
In less than half a breath, she returned the bottle.
"Indeed, I can't smell much."
Jiang Yi took back the empty bottle without giving it much thought.
But what she didn't know was that within Nangong Waner's nasal cavity, that faint trace of medicinal residue had already been completely captured and analyzed by her Divine Sense.
Who was Nangong Waner?
A Grandmaster of Heterodox Paths.
A Grandmaster of alchemy.
The Nangong Family's tens of thousands of years of alchemy Legacy had been mastered to perfection in her hands.
She refined proper Medicinal Pills, but she refined improper ones even more.
The structure of that trace of residual medicinal power was dismantled and analyzed within her Divine Sense.
She succeeded, Nangong Waner succeeded!
Half a month.
She spent a full half month, working day and night in the secret room of the guest courtyard, finally replicating this long-lost 'the great emperor is also crazy.'
It wasn't an imitation.
It was an improved version.
Its potency was twice that of the original.
---
At the third quarter of the Hour of the Rat.
Lu Chen was in the midst of meditation, his Divine Sense spread out; any abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power could not escape his perception.
An aura approached, the aura of Nangong Waner.
This woman had followed him for too long, she had been by his side since he was in the Supreme Realm.
Her aura was as familiar to Lu Chen as the way he searched for websites in his past life.
The door didn't creak, and the window didn't move.
Nangong Waner appeared in the room out of thin air, silent and soundless, even the sound of her footsteps swallowed by array formations.
Lu Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
He opened his eyes.
Nangong Waner stood three steps away from the bed.
She had changed into a new purple robe, her long hair was loose, and her Peach Blossom Eyes gleamed in the darkness.
Her right hand gripped a jade bottle.
The moment Lu Chen saw that jade bottle, his pupils constricted.
Dark red, the size of a thumb, with seven layers of seal formations on the mouth.
Its design was exactly the same as Jiang Yi's.
"Nangong Waner! You—"
He had just spoken.
Nangong Waner squeezed her right hand.
*Crack.*
The jade bottle shattered.
The pink mist didn't just diffuse; it exploded out.
The quantity was twice what Jiang Yi used that night.
The entire bedroom was submerged within a tenth of a second; the light membrane constructed by the Imperial Dao Law was penetrated by the pink mist, the seal formations peeled off and shattered all over the floor.
That surge of dry heat rushed up from the depths of his Dantian once again.
It was ten times more intense than the last time.
Even more terrifying was that his body had only recovered less than twenty percent from twenty-five days of overexertion, and the Primordial Yang Qi in his Dantian was already in a state of depletion.
The medicinal power surging into his empty Dantian was like a spark falling into a pile of dry wood.
Lu Chen's body jolted violently, the spiritual power in his Meridians began to turn chaotic, and his heart rate soared to the limit within three breaths.
His eyes turned red.
"Are you people insane!"
Lu Chen's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth as he fell back onto the bed.
"All of you are drugging me! I was just drained, and now you're here again! Do you really think a Great Emperor is a juicer!"
Nangong Waner did not answer.
She had also inhaled a large amount of the medicinal powder.
Even she was not immune to the improved version of 'the great emperor is also crazy.' The rationality in her Peach Blossom Eyes was rapidly fading, replaced by a kind of madness.
She pounced forward.
Her hands gripped Lu Chen's shoulders as she pressed her entire body against him, her lips directly blocking his.
Fierce and leaving no room for negotiation.
Lu Chen wanted to push her away, but the spiritual power in his Meridians was chaotic and couldn't be channeled.
Under the stimulation of the medicine, his Physical Body's strength was entirely converted into a different kind of energy.
Nangong Waner released his lips, her forehead resting against his, as she took a ragged breath.
Her Peach Blossom Eyes were filled with mist, and her voice was unrecognizably hoarse.
"Whatever Jiang Yi has, I must have as well."
Her fingers slid into Lu Chen's hair, and his Wooden Hairpin was pulled out.
"I was the first person to meet you."
"She waited for you for nearly a hundred years, and I did the same."
"Lu Chen, you belong to me too."
At this moment, Lu Chen's protective spiritual power completely shattered, crushed by the medicinal power.
Lu Chen closed his eyes.
"System! Listen to me! I want to see the replay!"
In his mind, the loli voice remained silent for two breaths.
Then, a sentence popped out.
[Host, after rigorous data analysis, this System has reached a conclusion.]
[In this life, you are here to repay debts.]
[What you owed in your past life, you must pay back with your life and your body in this one! It's not shameful! It even feels good!]
Nangong Waner's body pressed close, her scorching temperature transmitting through their clothes.
Lu Chen's last shred of resistance collapsed under the dual assault of the medicine and his own guilt.
His hands were no longer under his control.
Nangong Waner felt his change, and her Peach Blossom Eyes curved into a smile.
"Lu Chen."
She bit his earlobe, her voice so soft only the two of them could hear.
"This time, it's my turn."
---
Inside her bedroom.
Jiang Yi's Phoenix eyes suddenly snapped open.
She sprang from the bed, her bare feet hitting the floor, not even having time to change out of her nightgown.
Her Divine Sense at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Stage Peak spread out, accurately locking onto Lu Chen's location.
That familiar fluctuation of pink medicinal power—
Her expression changed.
"Nangong Waner! You've got to be kidding me!"
