199: The taste of home! Let's get right there on the airship!

Inside the Su Family flying boat.

The massive commotion of tearing through the Void Realm was completely cut off the moment the cabin door closed.

The interior of the flying boat was its own grotto-heaven, with a vast and boundless space.

The floor was paved with warm jade tiles that automatically gathered Spiritual Qi, and the walls were embedded with actual Spiritual Vein cores, pouring out soft light as bright as day.

Wisps of unknown sandalwood drifted through the air; with a single breath, one's Divine Soul felt clear and bright.

Su Chen, however, ignored these decorations.

As soon as he entered the flying boat, he directly tossed the two great deities, Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan, to Spring Flower and Autumn Moon.

He himself was like an unleashed husky, diving headfirst into the giant soft couch in the center of the grotto-heaven, woven from ten-thousand-year spiritual silkworm silk and Divine Beast feathers, at his fastest speed ever.

"Thud!"

His whole body sank into it, completely enveloped by a cloud-like softness.

"Ah—"

Su Chen let out a long sigh of satisfaction that reached his very bones, every pore in his body relaxing.

[Home! I'm finally home!]

[Gold nest or silver nest, nothing beats one's own doghouse. It's too dangerous outside, people's hearts are too complex; being a salted fish is the happiest.]

Su Chen rolled twice on the soft couch, found the most useless posture, closed his eyes, and entered meditation in a second.

He just wanted to have a good sleep now, to fully refill the social energy bar that had been severely overdrawn these past few days.

But while he wanted peace and quiet, someone was determined to stir up a storm.

Just as his Divine Soul was about to sink into dreamland.

Two distinct but equally overbearing and suffocating Auras clashed violently in the reception area behind him!

On one side was a profound ice chill that froze all things, bone-chilling and somber.

On the other side was the Nine Nether Devil Fire that burned desires, seductive and scorching.

Su Chen didn't even lift an eyelid.

He knew the war had begun.

He secretly split off a wisp of Divine Thought, like a professional paparazzi, hiding in the shadows to "watch" the live broadcast with great interest.

In the spacious reception area, Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan sat on opposite sides of the tea table, clearly demarcated.

Ling Qingzhu sat still, her posture upright, dressed in white, her temperament pure and aloof.

She didn't look at Liu Ruyan, but quietly gazed at the cup of spiritual tea in front of her. Within three feet of her, the air had already condensed into fine ice crystals.

Liu Ruyan was a completely different story.

She leaned lazily on a soft chair covered in Divine Beast fur, her breathtaking curves displayed wantonly.

She rested her fragrant cheek on one hand, her soul-hooking phoenix eyes carrying three parts playfulness and seven parts provocation as she scanned Ling Qingzhu without concealment.

"Tsk tsk."

Liu Ruyan suddenly chuckled, breaking the frozen silence.

She picked up the teacup, brushed away the foam with the lid, her voice charming yet every word piercing the heart.

"Sister Qingzhu, your personality is too cold, like a block of ice that can't be warmed."

"No wonder... our Little Chen Chen would rather sleep among flowers and willows outside than go to Jade Lake to take a single look at you."

Ling Qingzhu's fingers holding the teacup tightened imperceptibly.

"Crack."

A clear crack appeared on the white jade teacup in her hand.

She still didn't look at Liu Ruyan, her voice without any fluctuation.

"It's still better than certain people who, as a demonic sect enchantress, shamelessly insist on following Su Chen home."

"Shameless."

The two words were light, but they caused the air in front of Liu Ruyan to instantly distort, as if ignited by invisible Devilish Qi.

Giggle giggle giggle...

Liu Ruyan laughed instead of getting angry, laughing so hard she trembled like a blossoming branch.

"Shame? What's that? Can it be eaten?"

She put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, her phoenix eyes narrowing dangerously.

"I only know that Little Chen Chen is my man. Whoever wants to snatch him from me, I will... tear them apart."

"It just so happens I've long wanted to see if your Jade Lake's Profound Ice Nine Heavens Art can actually freeze my Seven Kills Emperor Art!"

Boom!

Before her voice finished, a wisp of killing Devilish Qi condensed to the extreme and a beam of bone-chilling immortal light that could freeze all things collided violently above the tea table!

There was no loud noise.

Only the tea table, carved from a single piece of Starwood, was silently erased at the boundary of ice and fire, turning into the finest dust and vanishing into the Void Realm.

Standing not far away, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon had playful looks on their pretty faces.

Spring Flower had quietly pulled out a shadow recording stone, preparing to record this scene well.

[They're fighting! They're fighting!]

Su Chen, who was playing dead, was already so excited internally that he was doing a 360-degree Thomas flare on the spot.

[Yes! Just like that! Tear into each other! Tear harder! This is the asura field of my dreams!]

[It's this exciting on the first day. Once we're back at Divine Son Peak, won't my diary have to update ten thousand words a day? I've got the first chapter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan at Shenzi Peak: Ice and Fire Body Tempering"!]

Su Chen was delighted, but he also realized that if he let them keep fighting, his precious flying boat might really be scrapped early.

[Ahem, that's enough. If the props get broken, I'll have to pay for them. This divine boat isn't cheap.]

Su Chen "struggled" to turn over, letting out a sleep-talking groan.

"What's all the noise about?"

He grumbled impatiently, his voice muddled but clearly reaching their ears.

Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan retracted their Aura almost simultaneously, both looking toward him.

Su Chen kept his eyes closed and waved his hand randomly.

"Behave yourselves. If you make any more noise, I'll throw you both off."

"Until we get home, no one bother me. I'm sleeping."

After saying that, he turned over and went back to "sleep" with his back to them.

The inside of the flying boat instantly returned to a dead silence.

Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan looked at each other from a distance, both seeing a hint of unwillingness in the other's eyes, but ultimately not daring to act up again.

The flying boat tore through layers of Void Realm, traveling at an almost arrogant speed.

After an unknown amount of time.

Rumble!

The flying boat shook violently, and its speed dropped sharply.

A familiar and friendly vast Aura rushed toward him.

Su Chen opened his eyes.

Home had been reached.

The flying boat tore through the Void Realm, descending like an ancient deity, appearing out of thin air above the mountain gate of the Everlasting Su Family, which was shrouded in endless immortal light.

The massive commotion instantly startled the entire Su Family!

"Buzz— Buzz— Buzz—"

The mountain-protecting array that had slept for eons was instantly activated to its limit!

Tens of thousands of Emperor-grade runes soared into the sky, turning into a mountain-guarding canopy that blotted out the sun!

"Which insignificant wretch dares to intrude upon the mountain gate of my Everlasting Su Family?!"
