135: Fang Xixi, an extraordinary woman
Fang Ruodan immediately frowned and retorted: "Her father's surname is Yang; she should follow her father's surname."
Cao Bu's lips curled slightly, his smile carrying a forceful air: "Either call her Fang Qianqian, or call her Cao Qianqian. You choose one."
"She is clearly..." Fang Ruodan was unwilling and wanted to argue further, but before she could finish, Cao Bu interrupted her directly: "There is no other choice. If you don't choose, then I will choose for you."
"Cao Qianqian, it sounds quite good."
"Don't!" Fang Ruodan quickly spoke up to stop him.
She gritted her teeth and said: "Let's call her Fang Qianqian, Fang Qianqian!"
Cao Bu smiled and nodded; he didn't care at all what the child was called.
What he wanted had always been this sense of control that he decided.
"Let's go. I will take you to the Time Wheel Emperor Palace." After saying this, his thoughts stirred, and subtle ripples appeared in the space around him as a deep spatial rift slowly opened before him.
He raised his chin, signaling for Fang Ruodan to go in first.
Fang Ruodan looked at that pitch-black rift, her eyes filled with helplessness.
She could only take a deep breath and step into it.
Cao Bu followed closely behind, holding the infant, and the spatial rift behind them closed instantly.
The two were already inside a hall of the Time Wheel Emperor Palace; the furnishings inside were luxurious but held a hint of coldness.
Cao Bu placed the infant in his arms onto the soft couch nearby and turned to walk towards Fang Ruodan.
"What, what do you want to do?"
Fang Ruodan instinctively took a half-step back, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible nervousness.
Cao Bu stepped forward, reaching out to wrap his arm around her slender and soft waist, a hint of burning heat flashing in his eyes.
"What do I want to do? It's not your first time experiencing this; surely you don't understand what I want to do?"
Fang Ruodan's cheeks turned bright red instantly, her gaze looking flusteredly at the infant on the nearby soft couch, and she hurriedly said: "You first move her away; she cannot see this."
Cao Bu chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness and refusal to be denied: "She is still so young; she doesn't understand anything. What are you afraid of?"
"Bastard! No matter how young she is, it's not okay! Do you know how much of an impact this will have on the child?" Fang Ruodan was both anxious and angry, struggling as she tried to push him away.
Cao Bu held her even tighter, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "I actually think your child is extraordinary; she won't be affected so easily."
After saying this, he no longer gave Fang Ruodan a chance to resist and directly suppressed her.
On the soft couch nearby.
The infant, who had been giggling happily just moments ago, was now strangely quiet.
Her clear eyes stared unblinkingly ahead, the innocence and immaturity in her pupils fading away, replaced by a fierce killing intent that was completely out of place for her newborn age.
Several hours later.
Cao Bu had just stepped out of the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.
He happened to run directly into Gu Chuyan, who was returning.
"Cao Bu, hurry, my whole body hurts so much." Before Gu Chuyan could finish speaking, she had already thrown herself into his arms.
The plea in her eyes could not be more obvious; she wanted to use extreme pleasure to suppress this heart-drilling pain.
Cao Bu understood in his heart and immediately did not hesitate, reaching out to scoop her up steadily by the waist and turning to walk towards a nearby cave.
Leng Yue already knew about Gu Chuyan's identity as a Demonic Technique cultivator, so he no longer needed to deliberately hide it.
At first, Leng Yue had minded, but later, under his silver-tongued persuasion, she had accepted Gu Chuyan's existence.
Ten days and ten nights later.
Gu Chuyan's cultivation had reached the Peak of the Void Breaking Realm.
Wanting to break through to the Realm Emperor Realm could not be achieved just by devouring living beings.
One must comprehend the Law; if one could not comprehend it, one would be stuck here for the rest of one's life.
Of course, with the assistance of the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, while comprehending other Laws might not work, comprehending the Devouring Law was only a matter of time.
Half a month later.
Cao Bu's group successfully returned to the Gu Clan.
The next day, the news that his Dantian had recovered spread throughout the entire Gu Clan.
As the news spread, some were happy and some were worried.
Within the Lingxiao Courtyard where Gu Feng resided, a loud crash of things being smashed suddenly erupted.
"Damn it! That damned Cao Bu, his Dantian actually really recovered!"
Gu Feng's voice was full of unwillingness: "Before, when he couldn't Cultivate, I didn't even put him in my eyes."
"Now that his Dantian has recovered, his talent is even stronger than before."
"If things go on like this, he might really become a major threat to me in the future!"
"Plus, with Mother siding with him everywhere now, the situation ahead is too unfavorable for me!"
He looked in the direction of the Cangfeng Residence, gritting his teeth and making up his mind: "I must use strong medicine!"
"I must restore the emperor bone as soon as possible. If I can use this to reach the Realm Emperor Realm, my combat power will inevitably soar."
"By then, even if that woman is protecting him, he will absolutely not be my opponent!"
Having made up his mind, Gu Feng immediately entered the cultivation room to go into seclusion.
He would not come out until the emperor bone successfully underwent Nirvana.
Meanwhile.
Cao Bu's residence welcomed a visitor—Gu Lingshuang.
"Ling Shuang, do you have something to find me for?"
Cao Bu raised his eyes to examine her, his gaze lingering a bit longer than usual.
This woman's attire these days was becoming increasingly alluring, but what frustrated him was that Gu Lingshuang's inheritance rate was always stuck at the final 1%. No matter how he tried, it showed no growth at all.
If it really didn't work, he would have to force it.
But that was ultimately a last resort.
Gu Lingshuang had originally had an experience of being forced, and if he stirred up those unbearable memories again, this remaining 1% inheritance rate would likely be lost forever.
He still had to use the tactic of playing hard to get, leaving her alone for a while until she took the initiative to open her heart, only then could he truly walk into her heart.
Having made up his mind, a gentle smile appeared on Cao Bu's face: "Ling Shuang, if you have something to say, come in."
"Okay, big brother."
Gu Lingshuang responded and stepped inside; the faint fragrance on her body lingered at the tip of his nose, making Cao Bu feel restless.
Except for that one time, he hadn't touched this woman since, and now he was actually feeling a bit nostalgic.
Just as Cao Bu was about to close the courtyard door, a slender, fair hand suddenly reached over.
He looked up and saw that it was Li Xinxue, so he asked in confusion: "Heart Snow, what are you doing?"
Li Xinxue carried a bit of dissatisfaction, her tone coquettish yet with a hint of firmness: "Cao Bu, have you forgotten?"
"We agreed that you would come to drink with me once every month, and it's been several months since I've seen you."
"You come with me now; you must accompany me to drink for three days and three nights!"
Just as Cao Bu was about to respond, Gu Lingshuang behind him had already leaned in and grabbed his arm, the fullness on her chest pressing tightly against his arm, almost deforming.
"No! Big brother, you promised to teach me sword practice! My Heartless Sword Manual has already reached Minor Achievement, and now I am stuck at a Bottleneck; you must help me!"
Seeing this scene, Li Xinxue did not show weakness and stepped forward, tightly hugging Cao Bu's other arm.
Anyway, her reputation in the Gu Clan had long been ruined; everywhere she went, people whispered behind her back about her seducing Cao Bu.
At first, she would care, but as time went by, she let go of it.
Let them say she was seducing him; who told Gu Yun to hurt her so deeply back then.
She would just consider it revenge on Gu Yun.
