192: Chapter 192 Was Shen Lingfu there last night too?

This was simply a pleasant surprise!

Chen Shanzhi watched the golden mist intertwining and circulating within his body, his heart filled with wild joy.

One had to know that the original "Nine-Turn Golden Body Art of the Witch God" was notoriously difficult to master.

According to the settings of his previous life's game, one only needed the assistance of Tang Xiaowu's Witch Clan aura when cultivating the First Transformation.

By the Second Transformation, one could only rely on themselves, slowly grinding away with time and effort.

Therefore, Chen Shanzhi's cultivation progress during this period had been as slow as a crawling turtle.

He never expected that while Dual Cultivating the "Yin-Yang Origin Return Technique" with Tang Xiaowu, an incredible synergy would actually occur!

The majestic Power of Yin-Yang Harmony generated by the Dual Cultivation turned out to be the perfect catalyst.

This meant that his speed in Body Refining was about to take off!

At this moment, Tang Xiaowu, who was slumped weakly in Chen Shanzhi's arms, also slowly calmed her rapid breathing.

She lay on Chen Shanzhi's chest like a docile kitten, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she lazily opened her beautiful eyes, instinctively circulating the True Essence within her body.

Those beautiful eyes instantly widened, filled with incredible shock.

Tang Xiaowu was shocked to find that after this Dual Cultivation session...

Not only had the True Essence in her body become extremely refined and her cultivation risen significantly,

but even the progress of the "Nine-Turn Golden Body Art of the Witch God" she cultivated had also leaped forward by a huge margin!

How was this possible?

Tang Xiaowu looked up in shock at Chen Shanzhi, who was holding her.

How long had it been, and Chen Shanzhi was already able to provide feedback to her during Dual Cultivation?

And the feedback effect was actually this good?

Had his strength improved this quickly?

And...

"Is... is this really just a Mortal Rank Cultivation Technique?"

Tang Xiaowu bit her red lips doubtfully.

What kind of Mortal Rank technique could have such an excellent Dual Cultivation effect?

However, shock aside.

The pleasure brought by the soaring strength made this young girl unable to resist the taste, and an impulse to do it again even popped up in her heart.

But Tang Xiaowu knew very well that Dual Cultivation could definitely not be done too frequently.

After those three deep exchanges just now, the Pure Yin Qi in her body was mostly depleted.

If they continued, it would definitely severely overdraw her Origin and even damage her Martial Dao Foundation.

She could only wait a few days until her Origin Qi had completely recovered before she could accompany him in cultivation again.

Yes, that's right.

She was cultivating, not doing anything bad.

As for Chen Shanzhi?

What he practiced was the Divine-Grade Dual Cultivation method from the adult game of his previous life; for him, there were only benefits and absolutely no side effects.

At this moment, the young master Chen had only two words in his mind: Dual Cultivation, awesome!

However, out of consideration for Tang Xiaowu's body, Chen Shanzhi naturally stepped on the brakes.

Tang Xiaowu looked up and happened to see the obvious lingering desire in the man's eyes.

Tang Xiaowu's heart instantly tightened, and a strong sense of guilt welled up.

Was she... unable to let him... enjoy himself to the fullest?

Tang Xiaowu bit her red lips, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on Chen Shanzhi's chest.

If that was really the case...

Then was her previous naive thought of wanting Chen Shanzhi to love her exclusively really realistic?

After all, by herself... it seemed she simply couldn't satisfy him!

If she forcibly monopolized him, wouldn't it either result in Chen Shanzhi being stifled or her being...

Thinking of the second scenario, Tang Xiaowu even shrank her head back a bit.

Then, the imperial decree from the current Emperor regarding the marriage to Murong Zhaoling flashed through her mind.

At this moment, the defensive line of Tang Xiaowu's inner persistence began to gradually crumble.

She secretly made a comparison.

Whether it was status or those eye-catching long legs, she didn't seem to compare to that elegant Sister Murong.

The dignified legitimate fiancée didn't even mind her existence.

What right did she have to mind?

Looking at it this way.

With Sister Murong helping to share the fire, she seemed to be able to relieve a lot of pressure!

...

In the quiet of the late night.

Chen Shanzhi carefully slipped out of Tang Xiaowu's room and skillfully returned to his own courtyard.

Pushing open the door, Chen Shanzhi stretched comfortably and threw himself relaxedly onto his soft, large canopy bed.

"Phew—"

Chen Shanzhi closed his eyes contentedly, preparing for a comfortable and peaceful sleep.

But as soon as he lay down, his nose twitched keenly.

Chen Shanzhi vaguely felt that there seemed to be a faint, somewhat familiar fragrance lingering on his pillow.

But when he leaned in and buried his face in the pillow to sniff hard, the scent vanished like an illusion.

"An illusion?"

Chen Shanzhi rubbed his chin in confusion.

"It should be the scent from Xiaowu's body that got on my clothes."

Chen Shanzhi yawned, too lazy to think more, and fell asleep immediately.

In the morning, at the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion's Dining Hall.

Bright sunlight spilled into the courtyard.

When Chen Shanzhi walked in, Chen Rou and the several girls had already taken their seats.

The room was buzzing with chatter; the women were discussing which cosmetic powder in the capital was good to use, their voices crisp and pleasant, like a flock of early-rising orioles.

Seeing Chen Shanzhi step over the threshold looking refreshed.

The girls all turned their heads in unison and greeted him with smiles.

Chen Rou even waved with a smile in her eyes, gesturing for him to sit in the empty seat beside her.

Chen Shanzhi pulled out the chair and sat down, picking up a bowl of meat porridge.

His gaze swept over this table of women, each with her own unique charm, and a strange sense of domestic harmony suddenly arose in his heart.

As expected of a lady-killer, one must distribute the favors equally!

This was the boring life he yearned for!

After finishing a hearty breakfast.

Tang Xiaowu softly stated that she needed to return to her Jiantian Division squad to carry out a mission, then hurriedly left with her head down.

That slightly awkward walking posture made Chen Shanzhi raise an eyebrow with a bit of mischief.

As a martial arts teacher at Four Seas Academy, Murong Zhaoling naturally had to inspect the mission status of the student squads.

She stood up, and after bidding farewell to Chen Rou, she walked out of the Dining Hall with her long legs alongside Tang Xiaowu.

Shen Lingfu, on the other hand, wiped her mouth unhurriedly, politely said goodbye to Chen Shanzhi and Chen Rou, then turned and chased after them.

Just at the moment she passed by Chen Shanzhi.

Shen Lingfu suddenly tilted her head.

She gave Chen Shanzhi an inexplicable look, one filled with deep meaning, before leaving with light steps.

Chen Shanzhi held his porridge bowl, completely bewildered by the look.

What kind of nerve was this green tea girl hitting so early in the morning?

He was too lazy to guess the woman's complicated thoughts and waved his hand casually, signaling her to just go.

Outside the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, the streets were wide.

The three women walked out of the main gate of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion side by side.

Murong Zhaoling decisively boarded the Murong Family carriage, turned to nod at the two, indicating she would go ahead.

Shen Lingfu didn't get into her own luxurious carriage but instead naturally approached Tang Xiaowu, who was preparing to walk to the Academy.

The two women, who weren't actually very close and even had a bit of a hidden competitive relationship, walked down the street side by side.

Tang Xiaowu kept her head down, her mind full of those shameful scenes from last night, with no heart to pay attention to the person beside her.

Along the way, the atmosphere was as awkward as it could be.

"Um..."

Shen Lingfu was the first to break the silence.

She turned her head, a harmless smile on her pure face, and said nonchalantly, "Sister Xiaowu, that Tang Liu who used to follow you around..."

Tang Xiaowu paused slightly; she looked up at Shen Lingfu with vigilance.

For no reason at all, why was this Shen Lingfu mentioning him?

Shen Lingfu naturally brushed back the stray hairs by her ear, revealing a proud smile: "He seems to be chasing me like crazy lately."

Tang Xiaowu's brow furrowed, and she replied with an extremely cold "Oh."

She then moved her gaze away without interest, saying nothing more.

Shen Lingfu's smile stiffened; she originally thought that since the two were so close before,

Tang Xiaowu would at least show a hint of disappointment upon hearing this news.

Looking at the situation, her heart had been completely captured by that kid Chen Shanzhi.

She didn't expect Chen Shanzhi to be so attractive.

Shen Lingfu adjusted her expression before continuing to ask casually, "Has he been looking for you everywhere lately?"

Tang Xiaowu stopped her steps and gave her a cold glance.

"What does that have to do with you?"

Tang Xiaowu's voice was as hard as a stone: "He's chasing you, but I can't control him constantly coming to harass me. I've long since had nothing to do with him."

Hearing this, Shen Lingfu didn't argue but just smiled faintly.

"I feel like that Tang Liu has been a bit off lately."

She paused, her tone casual: "As a friend, I'm just kindly reminding you not to be deceived by him."

Saying this, Shen Lingfu suddenly leaned in half a step.

That pure face was almost pressed against Tang Xiaowu's ear, her voice very low, carrying a hint of dangerous playfulness:

"After all... I wouldn't want Chen Shanzhi to lose such a... little maid who lets him do whatever he wants."

"What do you mean?" Tang Xiaowu felt like she had been struck by lightning.

She jerked her head around, her originally cold little face instantly becoming as hot as if it were on fire.

But in those clear, beautiful eyes, a hint of sharp Killing Intent directly erupted!

Could it be that she was there last night, and even overheard something outside?

Facing Tang Xiaowu's murderous gaze, Shen Lingfu backed away as if nothing was wrong.

She covered her mouth and chuckled affectedly: "Oh, Sister Xiaowu, don't be angry, I was just saying it casually.

I was just afraid that with your simple mind, you'd be deceived by that Tang Liu."

"Alright, alright, I won't say more. I have something to do, so I'll be going first."

After saying that, Shen Lingfu turned around gracefully, leaving Tang Xiaowu with a triumphant back as she walked straight into the bustling crowd.

Leaving Tang Xiaowu standing alone on the spot, tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.

In those clear eyes, a light of uncertainty and shock flickered.

This Shen Lingfu... just how much did she know?
