290: Confess to Long Yuyan, Lu Gang has to thank me!

“Stepmother, you don’t know, but my Peach Blossom can’t lock in the Life Force on it, so the longer it’s stored, the more Life Force it loses, and its effect will be greatly reduced!”

“Ah? Is, is that so?”

“Hmph, truly short-sighted. This kind of Life Treasure should naturally be used immediately. How can it be stored for long? Chen Xuan, you don’t need to mind her. Let’s talk about us!” Yu Gang scolded Dragon YuYan.

Actually, he had originally planned to store it for a rainy day, but after hearing Chen Xuan say that, he immediately decided to take it now.

When Dragon YuYan heard Yu Gang speak to her like that, a wave of sadness instantly rose in her heart, sadness for Yu Gang…

Regarding Chen Xuan, you don’t understand anything. Perhaps in a little while, you will also lose me forever! Forget it, maybe this is my fate! I haven’t seen Chen Xuan these past few days, so I guess I must have angered him…

“Well, these are all the precautions. Plus, with Stepmother and I present, there basically won’t be any big problems!”

After Chen Xuan explained the precautions to Yu Gang, Yu Gang prepared to use the green Life Peach Blossom.

“Yuyan, you must properly act as my Protector with Chen Xuan, do you understand?”

Before entering seclusion, Yu Gang still solemnly instructed Dragon YuYan. Clearly, he still didn’t quite trust Chen Xuan.

“Mm, I understand.”

Dragon YuYan’s voice was cold, devoid of emotion.

After giving his instructions, Yu Gang swallowed the green Life Peach Blossom in one gulp.

In an instant, surging Life Force continuously gathered within Yu Gang’s limbs and bones. He felt every cell in his body cheering, like withered wood meeting spring, full of vitality.

Yu Gang closed his eyes, quietly absorbing the Life Force from the Life Peach Blossom. His aura gradually strengthened, showing faint signs of a cultivation Breakthrough!

Chen Xuan and Dragon YuYan stood side by side, quietly watching Yu Gang enter seclusion. Neither of them spoke.

Finally, after Yu Gang had completely entered a meditative state, a wicked smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s lips.

“Stepmother, I’ve missed you a lot these past few days.” He reached out to grasp Dragon YuYan’s jade hand.

Dragon YuYan looked at Chen Xuan, wanting to speak but hesitating.

“You, you still shouldn’t call me Stepmother anymore. I can’t bear it.”

“Alright, Yan’er, I know you have your own concerns, but my feelings for you are sincere.”

Dragon YuYan’s cheeks instantly flushed.

Chen Xuan was truly crazy! Yu Gang was still meditating here, and he dared to call her Yan’er!

“Enough, Chen Xuan, I’ve already told you, I am your Stepmother, and we cannot continue this.”

“Yan’er, do you remember the first time we met? Back then, you were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating my world.”

Dragon YuYan was silent for a moment, complex emotions flickering in her eyes.

“Chen Xuan, listen to me, your feelings for me might just be a temporary infatuation. After a long time, you will realize that your feelings for me are not that deep.”

“Stepmother, I know what you’re worried about. I won’t force you. I will wait, wait until the day you are willing to accept me.”

“Don’t, don’t call me Stepmother… Why do you have to be so stubborn? There’s no possibility between us.”

“No possibility? Then why don’t you want me to call you Stepmother? Or, have you already guessed what I’m about to do?”

“No, no!”

“I don’t care. As long as you’re here, I won’t give up.”

Dragon YuYan struggled internally. Finally, she took a deep breath and said to Chen Xuan, “Chen Xuan, if you truly love me that much, then please respect my choice.”

“That way, I will only regret it for the rest of my Lifespan. Admit it, Yan’er, don’t say that you don’t have me in your heart, otherwise, you would have slapped me away long ago!” Chen Xuan’s eyes were filled with determination and deep affection.

Dragon YuYan looked at Chen Xuan, her heart a mix of emotions.

She didn’t know how to face this relationship, nor did she know how the future would unfold.

Seeing Dragon YuYan remain silent, Chen Xuan already knew the answer in his heart. Now she just needed a convenient excuse.

“Well, Stepmother, do you know how worried and uncomfortable I’ve been, with you unwilling to see me for so many days?”

Dragon YuYan still didn’t speak. Actually, she was quite uncomfortable too.

“So… I’m going to give you a small punishment.”

“No, Xuan’er, don’t do this!”

“If you don’t approve, you can certainly act against me.”

“…”

(See extra chapter)

After an unknown amount of time, as dawn was just breaking, a strong Spiritual Qi vortex emanated from Yu Gang’s room.

“Xuan, Xuan’er, Yu Gang might be coming out of seclusion.” Dragon YuYan looked at Chen Xuan nervously.

“Mm, we can’t bother tidying up here. He probably won’t know what this is anyway. Let’s go take a look.”

“Hmph, just now you said this was holy water!”

Chen Xuan stood up and walked with Dragon YuYan towards Yu Gang’s room. In fact, both of them had been inside for a long time and had only just come out.

Pushing the door open, they saw Yu Gang with his eyes closed, a pained expression on his face.

“Yu Gang, what’s wrong?”

“Cough cough, I’m fine, it’s just that this Peach Blossom’s Life Force is too vigorous, and my body can’t quite handle it, even though I’ve had a Breakthrough!”

“Teacher, don’t worry. Let me take a look for you.” Chen Xuan stepped forward and carefully observed Yu Gang’s condition.

“Don’t worry, this is a normal phenomenon. The overly vigorous Life Force is causing you some discomfort. I will help you sort it out now.”

Saying that, Chen Xuan took out silver needles and began to help Yu Gang sort out his Life Force.

After a long while, Yu Gang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shimmering with brilliant light.

“Chen Xuan, your Life Peach Blossom is truly miraculous. I feel that my Lifespan has increased by at least 160 (to be green) years, and my cultivation is even more stable!”

“That’s good. I was worried you wouldn’t be satisfied, Teacher!” Chen Xuan smiled.

“I’m truly so grateful to you this time. Without your Life Peach Blossom, I wouldn’t have been able to gain such immense benefits.” Yu Gang said with deep emotion.

“Teacher, you overstate it. I am merely fulfilling a Disciple’s duty.”

Chen Xuan said humbly, but when he looked at Dragon YuYan, a hint of teasing appeared in his eyes.

“See? He still has to thank us!”

Dragon YuYan also gave him a coquettish look, glaring at Chen Xuan with a straight face, which made Chen Xuan stop.
