169: Chapter 170 Developing a New Skill: Cloud Flight

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell upon the bed.

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling a soft warmth in his arms.

He looked down; on his left was Yang Huangyi, and on his right was Ji Xiaofu.

The two beauties were currently snuggled close to him, sleeping soundly.

Especially Yang Huangyi, her whole body was almost curled into his embrace, her small head resting on his arm, her sleeping posture incredibly well-behaved.

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, a sense of satisfaction filling his heart.

Last night, he had indeed drunk quite a bit of wine.

But with his current power, how could a few jars of wine possibly make him drunk?

He had merely used the alcohol as an excuse to do the things he wanted to do.

And look at that, killing two birds with one stone!

He gently pulled out his arm that was being pinned down by Ji Xiaofu.

"Mm..." Ji Xiaofu let out a soft moan, seemingly about to wake up.

Lu Chen was momentarily startled, but then he realized.

This girl was most likely pretending to be asleep!

Although she had also drunk a lot last night, she definitely wouldn't be drunk to this extent.

Moreover, she was still wearing her inner garment.

She must have put this clothing on herself.

Lu Chen laughed inwardly but kept a calm expression.

He reached out and gently pinched Ji Xiaofu's cheek.

"Xiaofu, wake up, it's dawn."

Ji Xiaofu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but her eyes remained tightly shut.

"Xiaofu? Not getting up yet? The sun is already shining on your backside!"

Lu Chen raised his volume and intentionally gave her a shake.

Ji Xiaofu remained motionless, as if she were dead to the world.

At that moment, Yang Huangyi also leisurely woke up.

She rubbed her bleary eyes and said groggily, "Lu Lang, what's wrong?"

Thinking of last night's frenzy, a flush of crimson immediately flooded Yang Huangyi's cheeks.

She stole a glance at Ji Xiaofu beside her; seeing her still "sound asleep," she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good, Sister Xiaofu hasn't woken up yet.

Yang Huangyi felt lucky, unaware that her little thoughts had long been seen through by Lu Chen.

Looking at Yang Huangyi's self-deceiving behavior, Lu Chen found it even more amusing.

"Huang Yi, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night?" Lu Chen asked, knowing the answer.

"I... I did." Yang Huangyi's eyes darted around, not daring to meet Lu Chen's gaze.

"Oh? Really? You seemed very happy last night." Lu Chen teased her intentionally.

"Lu Lang!" Yang Huangyi glared at Lu Chen in embarrassment, "What... what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaofu." Lu Chen looked at Ji Xiaofu with a mischievous grin.

Ji Xiaofu still kept her eyes tightly shut, motionless.

Lu Chen laughed inwardly; this girl was quite the actress.

"Xiaofu, Xiaofu? Stop sleeping. Am I telling the truth or not?"

As Lu Chen spoke, he reached out to tickle Ji Xiaofu.

Ji Xiaofu finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"How annoying! You two... you're ganging up to bully me!"

Ji Xiaofu opened her eyes and gave Lu Chen and Yang Huangyi a coquettish glare.

"Oh, Xiaofu, you're finally awake? I thought you'd slept like a little pig." Lu Chen said with a laugh.

" snort! I'm ignoring you both!" Ji Xiaofu said huffily, "Waking me up so early in the morning."

She turned over, her back to Lu Chen and Yang Huangyi, acting as if she didn't want to deal with them.

Lu Chen chuckled and leaned in close to Ji Xiaofu's ear, whispering, "Xiaofu, the three of us slept together last night. From today onwards, we can consider our wedding night consummated!"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaofu immediately panicked and sat up abruptly.

"No! No! I... I'm still a maiden!" Ji Xiaofu said urgently, her cheeks bright red.

Lu Chen burst into laughter at her cute appearance.

"Xiaofu, that's not up to you. Once you step out of this door, you won't be anymore!"

After saying that, Lu Chen got out of bed and dressed himself.

Yang Huangyi also hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, her face flushing.

With a "creak," the door was pushed open.

Several female disciples of the Earth Gate entered in a line, carrying washing supplies and breakfast.

"Sect Master, Madam, please wash up."

The leading female disciple said respectfully.

Lu Chen nodded, signaling them to put the things down.

"Xiaofu, hurry up and wash. After breakfast, we have serious business to attend to." Lu Chen said.

Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi blushed as they quickly dressed and finished washing up.

After Lu Chen finished washing, he scanned the room but didn't see Fang Yanqing.

"Eh, where is Sect Leader Fang?" Lu Chen asked casually.

"Reporting to Sect Master," a maid replied with a bow, "Sect Leader Fang went out early this morning without even having breakfast. She said she was going to check on the outer city."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, understanding the situation.

This Fang Yanqing was most likely jealous!

It would be strange if she felt good after personally sending her disciple to his bed.

However, Lu Chen didn't plan to let Fang Yanqing be some "secret lover"; this knot would have to be untied sooner or later.

Lu Chen finished his breakfast in a few bites and waved his hand: "Let's go, Xiaofu, let's find your master!"

Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi exchanged a look, their faces slightly red as they obediently followed behind Lu Chen.

The group headed straight for the outer city.

Just as they reached the city gate tower, they saw Fang Yanqing standing there, gazing into the distance.

She was slender and tall, her purple Daoist robe fluttering in the wind. With the lu xian sword on her back and a Purple Copper Whisk in her hand, she appeared even more ethereal.

"Master!" Ji Xiaofu called out clearly.

Fang Yanqing turned around, gave Ji Xiaofu a faint look, and then her gaze landed on Lu Chen.

"Sect Master, is something the matter?"

"Can't I come find you if nothing's wrong?" Lu Chen said with a smile, "Come, I'll take you all to a good place."

"Oh? What good place?" Fang Yanqing still maintained her cold demeanor.

"You'll know when we get there." Lu Chen acted mysterious.

Fang Yanqing didn't press further, merely nodding slightly.

The great battle last night had not only satisfied Lu Chen, but Ji Xiaofu had also benefited immensely.

The Nine Yin and Nine Yang True Qi were now integrated and flowing through her body, her Internal Energy reaching Major Achievement, though she still lacked some combat experience.

Fang Yanqing could naturally sense the change in Ji Xiaofu; she was pleasantly surprised but also felt a bit of sadness.

Lu Chen didn't care about that and took this opportunity to give them a good tour of the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

Without further ado, he led the three of them, using his Lightness Skill to leap towards the cliff behind the Shangqing Palace.

Upon reaching the edge of the cliff, there was no longer a path.

"This... how do we get across?" Ji Xiaofu looked at the bottomless abyss before her, feeling a bit intimidated.

"Watch me!" Lu Chen chuckled. Internal Energy surged beneath his feet, giving rise to a mass of clouds and mist.

"Cloud-Soaring Technique!"

Everyone felt the airflow surging beneath their feet, as if they were stepping on a mass of cotton that was soft yet incredibly firm.

This mass of white mist actually supported the four of them, slowly lifting them into the air!

"Wow!" Ji Xiaofu and Yang Huangyi cried out in surprise.

Fang Yanqing was also shocked. Was this even still martial arts?

Lu Chen's "Cloud-Soaring Technique" was something he had only recently developed.

By using the Myriad elephant Treasure Codex to drive the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and combining it with the Spiral Nine Shadows, he could control the airflow around his body to achieve the effect of flying through the air.

It looked like he was riding on clouds and mist.

Though it sounded like Xuanhuan, it was actually based on precise calculations and deductions, as well as accurate control over Internal Energy and airflow.

Lu Chen himself felt like a Genius; this thing was much more complex than an airplane!

The four of them slowly rose, crossing the cliff and passing through the mist, until the view suddenly opened up.

A massive valley appeared before them.

The valley was shrouded in mist, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, resembling a paradise on earth.

The only entrance to the valley, a cave that could only fit one person, had long been destroyed by Lu Chen, and even the platform outside had completely collapsed. This place was as hidden as could be.

"This... is the Kunlun Sacred Realm?" Ji Xiaofu murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Lu Chen laughed proudly, "This is my exclusive discovery; I don't tell just anyone about it!"

"Hmph! No wonder you call it the Kunlun Sacred Realm!" Fang Yanqing said crossly, but she felt happy inside.

Lu Chen bringing her here showed that he truly didn't treat her as an outsider.

Lu Chen chuckled and controlled the airflow, bringing the three of them down for a slow landing within the sacred realm.
