12: Chapter 12 Night Battle with the Three Heroes

"Sister, what are you doing..."

Lin Chanchan's voice was the quietest, yet it gave one a feeling of stubbornness.

The few of them went back and forth, neither side giving an inch.

Next door, in another room, Zhou Qingying had originally been sitting cross-legged in meditation, digesting the Spiritual Qi within her body.

But these sudden sounds made it completely impossible for her to enter a state of meditation.

The sounds traveled clearly from next door, carrying a hint of debauchery.

Zhou Qingying listened, her face flushing red.

Although she was a Cultivator, she was, after all, an innocent maiden who had never experienced the ways of the world.

When had she ever seen such a spectacle?

"Good heavens!"

Zhou Qingying could no longer stand it; she abruptly opened her eyes and looked towards the room next door.

She had grown up in the Jiedushi Residence and had seen quite a few romantic affairs, but such a lively scene was simply unheard of!

"This... this Su Bai, he is... he is, no, in that room..."

Zhou Qingying's ears turned bright red.

She felt her worldview had received a tremendous shock.

She had originally thought Su Bai was just an ordinary Cultivator, at most possessing some special methods.

But now it seemed, this guy was simply a scoundrel!

And... and listening to these sounds, it seemed there was more than just one or two people!

The more Zhou Qingying thought about it, the more shocked she became, and the blush on her face grew even deeper.

"Oh my god!"

She covered her ears, wanting to shut out those face-flushing, heart-pounding sounds.

But those sounds seemed to have grown wings; they pierced through the wall, drilled directly into her eardrums, and lingered in Zhou Qingying's mind, refusing to leave.

"Is it... is it really that open?!"

Zhou Qingying widened her eyes, saying this in disbelief.

In the room next door.

Su Bai lay on the bed, gently beckoning to the three of them, saying with extreme excitement:

"I'm not afraid..."

Upon hearing this, the three women exerted all their efforts.

The temperature inside the room rose once again.

The first ray of morning sunlight shone in.

The air was still filled with the lingering aura of last night's fierce battle.

Su Bai pushed open the door feeling refreshed; one night of cultivation had left his internal spiritual power full and surging, and his cultivation base had advanced quite a bit.

Products from the System really are quite good.

Su Bai had never imagined before that he could increase his cultivation base just by lying on the bed without moving!

In the room next door, Zhou Qingying lay on the bed with two dark circles under her eyes.

"Miss Zhou, good morning."

Su Bai opened the door to the next room and spoke to Zhou Qingying, who was on the bed.

The voice wasn't loud, but it made Zhou Qingying shudder.

Seeing Su Bai's smiling face, Zhou Qingying's mind uncontrollably recalled the madness of last night in an instant.

Once she thought of it, it was all over; Zhou Qingying's face turned bright red in a flash, and she dared not look at Su Bai at all.

"Young Master... Young Master Su, good morning."

Zhou Qingying said, her voice sounding a bit dry as she lay on the bed.

Su Bai walked over to sit opposite her and got straight to the point: "I'll prepare a bit and set off for Yunzhou City today to deliver the message to the Jiedushi Residence for you."

This sudden good news made Zhou Qingying overjoyed. She looked at Su Bai and said in a trembling voice:

"Really? That... that is truly thanks to Young Master Su! Your great kindness, Qingying will never forget!"

While saying this, Zhou Qingying thought viciously in her heart: Hurry up and leave!

I beg you!

You energetic scoundrel!

If I let you stay here one more night, I'll definitely suffer from Qi Deviation!

Zhou Qingying screamed wildly in her heart, but her face showed only excitement.

"It's just a small favor."

Su Bai replied indifferently, then thought for a moment and continued: "After all, you being like this every day isn't really a solution."

Zhou Qingying: ???

...

After saying goodbye to Zhou Qingying, Su Bai turned and entered another room.

Lin Weiwei, Lin Chanchan, and Ji Yingying watched Su Bai's retreating figure, each of them having a different look in their eyes.

After a night of intimacy, the three women's eyes drifted, unexpectedly carrying a kind of mesmerizing charm.

Seeing Su Bai come in, the eyes of the three women lit up.

Su Bai waved his hand, signaling them to sit down, and then said with a serious expression:

"I need to make a trip to Yunzhou City, to the Jiedushis Residence."

The smile on Lin Weiwei's face froze.

Jiedushi Residence?

What kind of place is that?

The center of power in the Yunzhou region!

Su Bai ignored their astonishment and pulled a small cloth bag from his bosom, pouring it out on the table.

Clatter.

Twenty crystalline Low-Grade Spirit Stones rolled out.

Su Bai looked at the three women and continued to instruct:

"During the time I am away, remember not to be too ostentatious in your actions."

"Take these Spirit Stones and use them. Remember, if there is anything you can't handle, just endure it for now; wait until I return to deal with everything."

Lin Weiwei's heart tightened suddenly.

She was no fool; Su Bai giving them Spirit Stones and giving instructions as if they were his final arrangements meant this trip must be extremely dangerous!

An inexplicable panic seized Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei looked at Su Bai, her tone serious as she said:

"I won't allow you to go!"

"What kind of place is the Jiedushi Residence? Can you even come back after going there? Can't we just not provoke them and live our lives peacefully?"

Her voice carried a hint of pleading.

Beside her, Lin Chanchan was also terrified; her eyes reddened, and she timidly tugged at the corner of Su Bai's clothes, not daring to speak.

Only Ji Yingying stared fixedly at Su Bai, the look in her alluring, silk-like eyes complex and hard to decipher.

She understood the cruelty of this world better than the Lin sisters, and she understood even better that stability is never something one can just wait for.

Su Bai gently patted Lin Weiwei's hand and moved her hand away from his arm.

Looking at Lin Weiwei, he spoke with a firm attitude:

"Weiwei, do you really think we are safe right now?"

Lin Weiwei was momentarily speechless.

"A piece of trash like Big Strong Zhu dared to lay hands on you in broad daylight. Do you think we can remain untouched just by hiding in this small courtyard?"

"In this world, there has never been any true safe haven. If you want to live with dignity, if you don't want to be treated like an ant that can be crushed at will, you have to climb higher, and you have to hold stronger power in your hands."

He looked at the Spirit Stones on the table, then at the three women, and said word by word:

"Your Young Master taking this risk is not just for myself. It is also to ensure a bit more security for our future."

His words left Lin Weiwei completely silent.

Indeed, everything Su Bai said was correct.

Their stability was merely an illusion built upon Su Bai's strength.

Once a stronger force crushed down upon them, what would they have to ensure their own stability then?

Lin Weiwei couldn't think of anything.

In the end, Su Bai left.

He only took the jade pendant given by Zhou Qingying and, alone, his figure disappeared at the end of the alley.

In the room, the three women looked at the pile of Spirit Stones on the table, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long while, Lin Weiwei finally spoke with difficulty: "Do you think Young Master Su will be able to return safely?"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yingying said with a determined look on her face: "Don't think such things! Young Master Su will definitely return safely."

After all, he is the person who scared away Madam Jin with just a jade pendant.
