294: Chapter 294 Dare to bring Little Fourteen back? Watch out, I'll cut your hair!

Half a day later.

The Empress's bedchamber was suffused with a rich, cold fragrance and the scent of infancy.

Completely fed, Yu Linglong, who was so full that her eyes were unfocused, lay limp like a puddle of spring water.

Her nine fox tails were spread softly across the couch, and she couldn't muster a shred of strength in her entire body.

"... Linglong was wrong... Linglong will never dare to talk back again..."

Yu Linglong's narrow, foxy eyes were filled with moisture, her voice so hoarse it was barely audible.

"It would have been better if you had been this obedient earlier; you forced me to use the family law."

Cao Kun smoothed his sleeves, leaned down, and pinched Yu Linglong's alluring face.

"Stay in Great Yan and behave yourself."

"If any trouble arises in Great Yan during this time, or if you dare to trip up Empress Yue Chan, just wait until I return, and see how I deal with you!"

How could Yu Linglong dare to say a single word of refusal? She could only nod desperately, like a docile kitten.

Having secured the rear of Great Yan.

Cao Kun dusted himself off and prepared to leave the Great Yan Imperial Capital alone.

Before his departure, Empress Yue Chan suppressed her discomfort.

She put on a large outer robe and walked up to Cao Kun.

With gentle movements, she straightened his lapels and collar.

This rare moment of tenderness made Cao Kun feel a slight warmth in his heart.

However, just as Cao Kun was about to lean down to kiss her, Empress Yue Chan suddenly raised her head and extended two fair fingers.

At a certain fatal location below Cao Kun's waist, she made an incredibly clear scissor motion.

"Go early and return early."

"If I find out that you are philandering at the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, and bring back some Little Fourteen or Little Fifteen..."

"Watch out, or I'll cut you!"

Cao Kun suddenly felt a chill in his lower body and subconsciously clamped his legs together.

He gave a dry laugh and patted his chest in assurance:

"Rest assured, rest assured, your husband is a gentleman who has transcended vulgar interests. Those nuns at the Taiqing Palace, even if they were given to me for free, I wouldn't want them!"

With that, to prevent Empress Yue Chan from causing any more trouble.

Cao Kun stepped out of the bedchamber.

Accompanied by a ripple in space, his figure completely vanished.

High above in the sky.

Cao Kun harnessed his Spiritual Qi and sped through the clouds.

He summoned the System panel to take a look.

[task points balance: 62900]

[Beast Tamer Rank: Special Grade Beast Tamer Revered Master (1135 / 1500)]

[Jade Beast count: 13 / 15]

Looking at the two empty Jade Beast slots, Cao Kun stroked his chin.

"Oh, Empress Yue Chan, it's not that I don't keep my word."

"The System has already reserved the slots for me; if I don't fill them, wouldn't that be letting down the System's painstaking efforts?"

However, before heading to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Cao Kun suddenly remembered someone.

Pei Qinglan, that mature imperial sister, had returned to the Treasure Pavilion headquarters to go into seclusion before the Ancient God Ruins opened, taking with her the vast amount of Chaos Qi he had left behind.

"This personal maid has been in seclusion for so long, I wonder if her skills have become rusty. It's the perfect time to go and check her homework."

In Cao Kun's mind, the image of Pei Qinglan's voluptuous waist and hips, wrapped in a green, high-slit cheongsam, appeared.

Along with those long, provocative jade legs, his heart suddenly felt a bit hot.

More importantly,

in the System space lay a premium reward tailor-made for Pei Qinglan: [Chaos Heaven-Seeking Physique].

As long as he fused this Physique for Pei Qinglan.

wouldn't all the Heaven And Earth Treasure in the entire Central Continent be his to take at will in the future?

This was the top-tier virtuous helper!

"Being able to feast my eyes and also monopolize the wealth of the Central Continent—this wave is truly winning big!"

Having made up his mind, Cao Kun did not hesitate any longer.

He sped directly towards the direction of the Treasure Pavilion headquarters in the Central Continent.

Meanwhile.

In a VIP room at the Treasure Pavilion headquarters in the Central Continent.

Pei Qinglan sat in the main seat, her long jade legs crossed, dressed in a dark green, high-slit cheongsam.

The charm of that mature imperial sister was even more pronounced than before.

Her already voluptuous figure had become even fuller under the nourishment of Spiritual Qi.

The green cheongsam tightly wrapped around her stunning waist and hip curves.

Her long, black hair was loosely tied at the back of her head, and paired with those smiling phoenix eyes, she was truly stunning and untouchable.

Sitting opposite her was a mysterious person wearing a large black robe.

The black robe covered their entire face tightly, revealing only a pair of gloomy eyes.

He picked up a teacup, and an old voice sounded slowly.

"Pavilion Revered Master Pei, this Nine-Turn Bone-Gathering Pill of mine is a lost ancient Medicinal Pill; there is not a second one in the entire Central Continent."

"I do not need Spirit Stones; I only want to exchange it for your pavilion's true dragon marrow."

"This deal, the Treasure Pavilion will not lose out."

Pei Qinglan tapped her jade fingers gently on the table, her expression unmoved.

She could not see through this person.

Their cultivation was deliberately concealed by some secret technique, making it impossible to tell how deep it was.

The Nine-Turn Bone-Gathering Pill was indeed genuine; she had personally verified it, and it was indeed a long-lost ancient bone-refining Medicinal Pill.

But the problem lay with the true dragon marrow.

It was also a peerless treasure that could not be found elsewhere in the entire Central Continent.

She stopped tapping her fingers, her tone unhurried.

"Senior's Medicinal Pill is naturally a good thing, Qinglan does not deny that."

"But this true dragon marrow cannot be found elsewhere in the entire Central Continent."

"Relying solely on this one Medicinal Pill, I'm afraid it lacks enough weight."

"If you are sincere about the transaction, why not add a bit more leverage?"

Under the black robe, Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly.

He clenched his fists in his sleeves, struggling to suppress the impatience in his heart.

He must obtain the true dragon marrow.

It was his only hope to return to the Peak.

Just as he was feeling restless.

The voice of the gentle and old remnant Soul within his Divine Sense rang out again.

"Chen'er, do not panic."

"This young girl is testing our bottom line. She is already interested, just wanting to squeeze out a bit more oil and water."

"Revered Master will teach you: use that Seventh-Grade Spiritual Fire seed to add to the offer. That thing is worthless to us, but to an Artifact Refiner, it is a supreme treasure. Once the Treasure Pavilion receives it, they can turn a huge profit by reselling it."

"She will definitely agree."

Xiao Chen felt slightly more settled.

As expected of Revered Master! Insightful as a torch, everything is under control!

But just as he was preparing to speak up to add to the offer and fiercely intimidate this cold female Pavilion Revered Master.

Pei Qinglan's Soul suddenly palpitated.

In that familiar consciousness space, a message with the group owner's exclusive golden logo suddenly popped up.

[Personal maid, your Young Master is here to check on you. He is on the first floor, come down within three breaths!]

Seeing this, the joy in Pei Qinglan's heart was almost overflowing from her eyes.

He came?

Young Master actually came to find me!

Since parting from Cao Kun on the Flying Boat, she had plunged into the secret chamber of the Treasure Pavilion headquarters to go into seclusion.

The Chaos Qi surged and collided within her body for a full half-month, and finally, in one go, she broke through to the Body Integration Early Stage.

After the Breakthrough, the first thing she did was stabilize her Realm, and the second thing was wanting to return to the Great Yan Imperial Capital.

But there were too many matters piled up at the headquarters that required her, as the Vice Pavilion Revered Master, to handle personally, and it was delayed again and again, so she just couldn't leave.

During these days, she didn't say it out loud, but in her heart, she had been thinking about that bastard.

Thinking about him intensely.

Especially in the dead of night.

That warm feeling of being filled with Chaos Qi.

And those scoundrel words he said when coaxing her on the Flying Boat.

"Follow me from now on, I guarantee you'll eat well and live well."

"In the future, I'll even conquer the Treasure Pavilion headquarters and give it to you as a dowry."

Every time she thought about it, Pei Qinglan felt like a young girl who had just fallen in love; despite having lived for several hundred years, she was completely eaten up by a young brat.

Three breaths.

How could Pei Qinglan have the heart to sit here and waste words with someone? She stood up immediately.

Xiao Chen had just reached his hand into his sleeve and gripped the fire seed of the Seventh-Grade Strange Fire.

Seeing Pei Qinglan suddenly stand up, he sneered in his heart: As expected, Revered Master was right, this woman cannot hold her composure!

He was just preparing to speak pretentiously: "Pavilion Revered Master Pei, I still have here..."

"Apologies, Senior."

Pei Qinglan gave an apologetic smile to the black-robed person opposite her.

"Qinglan has some urgent matters to attend to temporarily, the transaction for the true dragon marrow... let's talk another day."
