214: Chapter 214 Soft Jade and Warm Fragrance! A stunningly beautiful spirit corpse reborn, the underground queen comes to sign in!

In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the carved wooden windows, spilling onto the large red sandalwood bed in the Eastern Wing.

Su Yang opened his eyes dizzily, only to feel a startling softness pressing against his chest, and even his breathing carried a faint scent of icy lotus.

He looked down.

Chu Ling was like an obedient kitten, her whole body wrapped around him like an octopus. Her stunning face, which had originally been as pale as paper, now showed a healthy rosy glow beneath the white; her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slept soundly.

Most importantly, Su Yang could clearly feel the warmth radiating from her skin and the slight but powerful heartbeat within her chest.

"The Realm of the Unmelting Bone is truly miraculous."

Su Yang couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her back, which was as delicate and smooth as the finest mutton-fat jade. Gone was the stiff, cold sensation of rigor mortis from before; this texture was ten thousand times smoother than even the highest-grade silk.

"Mm... Boss, don't tease..."

Chu Ling was awakened by Su Yang's small movements, letting out an extremely lazy and charming nasal hum.

She dizzily opened her ice-blue eyes, and when she saw her current unreserved, body-to-body posture with Su Yang, her pretty face instantly flushed to the roots of her ears. She hurriedly pulled over the quilt to cover the vast expanse of spring scenery on her chest.

Although she had already entrusted her life and soul to Su Yang, she had after all just recovered a living body, and she still carried the shyness of a classical lady in her bones.

"What are you covering for? You were clinging to me and nibbling on me for half the night yesterday."

"I did not! That was... that was because I just got a body temperature and felt that Boss's body was warm." Chu Ling buried her head in Su Yang's chest in shame, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

The two dallied in bed for a while longer before finally getting dressed and pushing the door open to walk out of the room.

In the courtyard, Ye Yuqing had already brewed a large pot of spirit crystal rice porridge, its fragrance overflowing.

Mary was hanging bored from a tree branch, swinging her long legs. Seeing Su Yang and Chu Ling walk out, she sniffed the air and suddenly, as if seeing a ghost, fell straight off the tree.

"Holy crap! Sister Chu Ling! How do you have a living person's heartbeat?! And... and your blood smells so fragrant!"

Mary's crimson eyes widened, and a drop of saliva ungracefully trickled from the corner of her mouth. Vampires are most sensitive to blood and qi; now that Chu Ling had shed her corpse qi and transformed into her true body, the blood flowing through her was the purest blood of 'Yang born from the Extreme of Yin,' which was a fatal temptation for Mary.

Chu Ling shot her a glare and raised her hand, sending a blast of ice-blue cold qi at Mary's feet, instantly freezing a layer of frost onto the ground.

"Foreign zombie, if you look at me with those eyes again, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture and stuff you into the latrine."

"Boss, look at her! She's bullying me now that she has a body!" Mary ran to Su Yang's side to complain, looking aggrieved.

Bai Li walked out of the main hall. Seeing Chu Ling's vibrant appearance, she nodded with satisfaction: "Congratulations, Sister, on your rebirth. This true body of an Unmelting Bone is a prime candidate for achieving Sanctity of the Physical Body, even in the ancient cultivation world."

"Thank you for the praise, Sister Bai Li." Chu Ling was still very respectful toward Bai Li.

The family was just about to sit around the stone table to drink porridge.

*Knock, knock, knock.*

The heavy vermilion gates of the courtyard were suddenly knocked on gently from the outside. The knocking was very restrained, showing a sense of cautious probing.

Da Hei, perched on the wall, snapped its eyes open. The human face in the center of its flower disk revealed a hint of ferocity, and its vines slid silently toward the gate.

"Da Hei, open the door." Su Yang picked up a bowl of spirit rice porridge and blew on the steam.

*Creak—*

The gate was pulled open by one of Da Hei's vines.

Standing outside the door was a woman wearing a black tight-fitting leather outfit that outlined her curvaceous and explosive figure to the fullest. She wore a pair of large sunglasses on her face and held a silver briefcase in her hand.

It was none other than the underground queen, Red Rhombus, who had been subdued by Su Yang on the cruise ship last night.

The moment Red Rhombus stepped over the threshold, her expression became identical to Qin Xueji's from the previous night, and her entire body instantly froze in place.

The dense Spiritual Qi rushing toward her made her feel as if she were in a legendary fairyland. Just by taking one breath, her internal organs, which had been damaged by the backlash of the remnant map last night, actually began to heat up and repair themselves!

She looked at the courtyard again.

The plant monster atop the wall, over ten meters tall and covered in metallic scales, currently staring at her with cold, eerie eyes, caused cold sweat to instantly drench Red Rhombus's back.

"Mas... Master..."

Red Rhombus took off her sunglasses, walked quickly to Su Yang, and without hesitation knelt on both knees, burying her head deep. The deep cleavage squeezed by the collar of her tight leather outfit was simply impossible to look away from.

"The matters on the cruise ship have been handled cleanly. Red Rhombus has come to report to Master."

Su Yang took a sip of porridge without even looking up: "Get up. I don't care for that constant kneeling business here; this isn't a feudal society."

"Yes, Master." Red Rhombus stood up obediently, but she still kept her head lowered with her hands crossed in front of her abdomen, her posture humble to the extreme.

Qin Xueji wasn't wearing her maid outfit today, but had changed into a set of efficient loungewear. She walked over and swept a glance at Red Rhombus with the air of a head housekeeper.

"Miss Red Rhombus, your efficiency is quite high. How is the investigation into the intelligence the Boss assigned to you?"

Red Rhombus knew that Qin Xueji's status in Su Yang's heart was higher than hers, so she naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous and hurriedly opened the silver briefcase in her hand.

"Replying to Master and Housekeeper Qin. I utilized the highest-level encrypted intelligence network in the black market and investigated the background of the Yin Sha Sect overnight."

Red Rhombus took out a thick stack of documents and handed them to Su Yang with both hands.

"The Yin Sha Sect headquarters is located in the Poisonous Miasma Valley deep within the Southwest Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Besides the Sect Master Yin Tianji, who is at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, there are also four Golden Core Stage Elders. But most terrifyingly, they keep thirty-six Tiangang Corpse Puppets refined with secret methods in their ancestral graves on the back mountain!"

Speaking to this point, Red Rhombus's tone became extremely solemn.

"Furthermore, after Master crippled Yin Wujiu last night, the Yin Sha Sect's informants have already issued a highest-level Blood Wanted Order in the underground black market."

"Yin Tianji has already awakened those thirty-six Tiangang Corpse Puppets and chartered ten heavy transport helicopters overnight."

Red Rhombus looked up, her peach-blossom eyes full of worry: "Master, they didn't wait three days. They are bringing the army of corpse puppets and are now heading toward Jiangzhou City at full speed! They are expected to arrive by noon today!"

Hearing the words 'army of corpse puppets,' Chu Ling and Mary, who were drinking porridge in the courtyard, stopped their movements simultaneously.

Bai Li even let out a light chuckle and set down her porcelain bowl.

Su Yang took the documents handed over by Red Rhombus and tossed them casually onto the stone table without even glancing at them.

He turned his head to look at Da Hei, who was restless on the wall, and then at Chu Ling, who had just obtained a Physical Body and was eager to try it out.

"Thirty-six Tiangang Corpse Puppets? They traveled all this way just to deliver high-calcium fertilizer to us?"
