Return to the clan
Before departing, Shen Ling gazed at Chen Yuan with reluctance and affection, as if wanting to engrave his image deeply in her heart.
Chen Yuan pinched her face and dotingly said, "No need to see me off. After the Grand Competition, I'll tell Revered Master to send someone to pick you up."
Then, he turned and leaped onto the cloud carriage. Under the gaze of the Heavenly Maiden Sect's core Elders, Chen Yuan rode the Cloud Chasing Steed, transforming into a streak of light, and sped towards the Tianxuan Sect.
Shen Ling watched the streak of light, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.
"Linger, stop looking. He's already gone," a gentle voice sounded from behind her.
Yan Ran walked forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "Let's return to the Sect!"
A day later, Chen Yuan returned to the Sect.
Leng Youmeng's bedchamber,
"Greetings, Revered Master," Chen Yuan bowed respectfully to the person at the head.
Leng Youmeng slowly opened her beautiful eyes and patted the bed beside her, "Come here."
Chen Yuan didn't hesitate, strode over, and sat down directly.
"Revered Master, did you miss me these past few days?" Chen Yuan leaned his face close to hers and asked first.
Leng Youmeng's face flushed, and she gently pushed Chen Yuan's face away with her hand.
What's wrong with this little disciple? Doesn't he feel embarrassed? He immediately asked such an unspeakable question.
No! She was here to question him, and she was almost led astray by her little disciple.
Thinking of this, Leng Youmeng's aura changed, the temperature in the entire bedchamber plummeted, and her voice became serious.
"Where have you been these past few days?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan was secretly alarmed. Why was Revered Master suddenly so serious?
"Disciple went to Mufeng City," Chen Yuan answered truthfully.
"Don't lie!" Leng Youmeng turned to look at him, seemingly trying to catch a hint of panic on his face.
Chen Yuan wasn't intimidated and gently shook his head, "I didn't lie!" After all, he really did go to Mufeng City.
"Then who is Shen Ling to you?" Leng Youmeng asked directly.
After learning that Tianhai Town was massacred by the Zheng Family, Leng Youmeng found it more and more suspicious.
How did the City Lord of a remote small town provoke the Zheng Family?
After her in-depth investigation, she surprisingly discovered the person Shen Ling, as well as Chen Yuan's grievances with the Zheng Family.
Chen Yuan didn't choose to hide it, "Shen Ling is my Dao Companion."
"Mm," Leng Youmeng softly hummed, then continued, "You're quite honest."
"How did you two meet?"
In the past, Leng Youmeng would never have pressed like this, but the uncomfortable feeling in her heart had been influencing her emotions.
Chen Yuan also answered truthfully.
After hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Leng Youmeng sighed. It seemed that Shen Ling was quite pitiful.
Chen Yuan boldly tucked a strand of hair behind his Revered Master's ear and softly asked, "Revered Master, are you jealous?"
Leng Youmeng was poked in her heart's agitation and hastily explained, "N-no, I just... just worry that you'll be used by someone."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled gently, "Revered Master, you look quite cute like this."
Hearing these words, the blush on Leng Youmeng's face quickly spread to her earlobes.
Chen Yuan pressed his face against hers again, "Revered Master, Dual Cultivate? If not, I'll go back and accompany Baixi, okay?"
Hearing this, a hint of reluctance suddenly rose in Leng Youmeng's heart. There was an Ecstasy Pill in her ring, which she had secretly bought last night.
Suddenly, she widened her eyes. Chen Yuan... was... was biting her ear.
"Mmhmm~" The tingling sensation made her let out a soft moan.
She took out the Ecstasy Pill, preparing to take it. Without this pill, she would be too embarrassed.
However, Chen Yuan snatched the Ecstasy Pill from his Revered Master's hand and then pushed her onto the bed.
Leng Youmeng's body was extremely soft and lacked strength.
She glared at Chen Yuan, "Give me back the Medicinal Pill."
Chen Yuan kissed her neck, his warm breath spraying on her neck, "Revered Master, I like seeing you so shy."
...Two and a half hours later, Chen Yuan had just finished dressing when Leng Youmeng kicked him out of her bedchamber.
"Ouch!" Chen Yuan lay sprawled on the ground, his face utterly devoid of life.
Just then, Chen Yuan's vision was suddenly blocked by a large, imposing figure.
Qin Shuhan was a bit confused. Why was Junior Martial Brother lying in front of Revered Master's bedchamber?
She looked down but couldn't see him, so she gently bent over, frowning as she asked, "Junior Martial Brother, what are you doing here?"
"N-nothing, I just got kicked out by Revered Master." Chen Yuan quickly got up, rubbing his butt. Revered Master's kick really held nothing back!
Once he achieves Body Integration, he will definitely kick her back!
"Are you alright?"
Qin Shuhan asked with concern, her eyes strangely scrutinizing Chen Yuan.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Chen Yuan waved his hand, his feet seemingly treading on a green rainbow as he flew towards his mansion.
Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit awkward at the moment. The scene of him flying out just now must have been seen by Senior Sister.
In front of Chen Yuan's mansion was a small stone table. When Liu Meier was free from Cultivation, she would sit on the small stone stool.
She rested her arm on the stone table, propping up her chin, her thoughts wandering, and a hint of nervousness in her heart. She was afraid Chen Yuan would bully her in the future.
Just then, a streak of light flew from afar and landed in front of her.
Seeing this, Liu Meier quickly stood up and bowed her head, "Little Master."
Chen Yuan was startled, Little Master?
Suddenly, he remembered that Revered Master had told him that after the Grand Competition, she would send Liu Meier to him as a maid.
Chen Yuan reached out and lifted her chin, whispering like a devil in her ear, "How did you end up in my hands?"
Liu Meier's delicate body trembled slightly, "Senior Brother Chen, you said you wouldn't pursue the previous matter."
"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you," Chen Yuan said, a little speechless. Was he that scary?
Returning to his room, Chen Yuan found that the inside and outside of the mansion had been cleaned, spotless.
And his clothes had all been rewashed.
"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Liu Meier's voice came from outside the door, "Little Master, Senior Sister Ye requests an audience."
Chen Yuan opened the door and tapped Liu Meier's small head, "From now on, when Baixi comes, you don't need to announce her, just let her in directly."
"Oh!" Liu Meier covered her aching forehead, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. Wuwuwu, she would definitely be bullied to death in the future.
A moment later, Liu Meier led Ye Baixi into the room.
"Brother," Ye Baixi excitedly hugged Chen Yuan when she saw him, clinging to him like an octopus.
"Baixi, I brought you a gift this time when I went out," Chen Yuan smiled mysteriously.
Ye Baixi's eyes lit up, and she jumped off Chen Yuan, "What kind of gift is it?"
Chen Yuan flipped his right hand, took out a High Grade Earth Rank Soul Protection Jade Pendant, and handed it to Ye Baixi.
After hearing Chen Yuan's introduction, Ye Baixi's beautiful eyes widened.
Chen Yuan didn't give her a chance to refuse, directly going behind her and placing it around her neck.
[Ding, detected that the Host gifted a High Grade Earth Rank Soul Protection Jade Pendant, triggering a hundredfold return.
Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: High Grade Heaven Rank Soul Protection Spirit Jade.
(Effect: Can block Fifth-Rank Spiritual Sense.)]
He couldn't give too many at once; Baixi would definitely not accept them.
Chen Yuan planned to give her the Dragon Soul Jade and Heaven Rank Flying Sword after the Grand Competition.
