199: Digging up the Emperor's bones again

Gu Yin explained, "At most, she has a good impression of him; it hasn't reached the point of liking yet."

Pausing, she continued, "She established a Gang outside called the Chicheng Gang. The second-in-command is a younger brother she took in not long ago named Ye Cang. They've been messaging each other frequently lately, likely getting to know each other during the Heavenly Pride Battle."

"Ye Cang."

Cao Bu repeated the name softly, a cold light flickering in his eyes within the darkness.

This brat already has a path to death.

How could he, Cao Bu, allow anyone else to snatch away a woman he desired?

"What's wrong?" Gu Yin asked curiously, sensing the change in his aura.

"I am now the Vice Clan Leader of the Gu Clan and Yingying's elder brother, so naturally, I have to help vet her suitors."

Cao Bu said in a deep voice, "I might leave the Gu Clan for a while to check out this Ye Cang and see if he's approaching her with ulterior motives, so she doesn't end up being deceived like you were back then."

Gu Yin felt a warmth in her heart and nodded repeatedly. "That's only right. I've already warned her not to trust outsiders easily."

Looking at the sensible woman in his arms, Cao Bu's possessiveness grew even stronger.

He flipped over, pressing Gu Yin beneath him once again, and stared at her with burning eyes. "Yiner, you're so considerate of me; how could I not cherish you?"

Gu Yin didn't understand the meaning behind Cao Bu's words, but she didn't pay it much mind.

Her cheeks were flushed crimson, and her beautiful eyes were watery, filled with a hint of shyness and anticipation as she gently pushed against his chest. "Haven't you had enough fun yet?"

"With you, it's never enough."

Cao Bu chuckled low and leaned down to kiss her vibrant red lips.

Gu Yin instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, responding with both awkwardness and passion.

Candle shadows flickered, bed curtains swayed, and the room was once again filled with the spring-like atmosphere of passion.

Just as dawn was breaking, Cao Bu swaggered out of the Qiwu Pavilion.

"System, use five lottery chances."

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a special emperor pill—fate-devouring dragon transformation pill.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a supreme dao emperor weapon—cangming world-cleansing bottle.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Physique Origin—Nine-Aperture Ethereal Physique.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a supreme dao emperor weapon—Nine Heavens Ringing Jade Zither.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a supreme dao emperor weapon—Mystic Yellow Creation Furnace.]

Cao Bu looked at the list of rewards in his mind and nodded with satisfaction.

The fate-devouring dragon transformation pill could be described as extremely sinister.

Once consumed by a Child of Luck containing Dragon blood, it could purify, transform, and simultaneously absorb the life essence and Luck of the Child of Luck.

This would condense into a mass of easily absorbable Dragon Essence Blood Soul inside the Medicinal Pill.

During this period, the Child of Luck would gradually go mad, going on a killing spree under the pill's catalysis to allow the fate-devouring dragon transformation pill to mature.

Once the Medicinal Pill was fully mature, the Child of Luck would die immediately.

This process was equivalent to cultivating the Child of Luck as a medicinal human.

When the time came, Cao Bu could harvest everything from the other party to enhance himself.

The Nine-Aperture Ethereal Physique's Physique Origin was suitable for Gu Yin, and he would give her the Nine Heavens Ringing Jade Zither as well.

He would give the Mystic Yellow Creation Furnace to Fang Ruodan.

He would keep the cangming world-cleansing bottle for himself for now.

"First, let's go see how Gu Feng's emperor bone is doing."

With a thought, Cao Bu immediately rushed toward the Lingxiao Courtyard.

At the same time.

Inside the Lingxiao Courtyard.

Gu Feng's consciousness was in a state of ecstasy. "Senior, it's a success! My emperor bone has reached Perfection!"

The remnant soul of the Desolate Bone Immortal King was also quite satisfied. "Your talent far exceeds my expectations. To be able to temper the emperor bone to Perfection in such a short time is quite impressive."

He had only been bluffing back then, but he didn't expect Gu Feng to actually achieve it.

This gave him hope for a rebirth.

"Senior, how should I proceed with the Nirvana now?"

Gu Feng asked urgently, images of him stepping on the heavens and looking down on all heroes already appearing in his mind.

The Desolate Bone Immortal King was taken aback and hurriedly pretended to be in deep thought.

Just as Gu Feng was about to lose patience, he finally spoke slowly, "Circulate the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Sutra I taught you, refine this emperor bone, and use it to wash through your Meridians and rebuild your Foundation. Once successful, you will truly possess the bearing of a youthful Immortal King!"

"Yes, Senior! I'll begin right away!"

Gu Feng was so excited that his consciousness was trembling. He immediately concentrated all his mind, preparing to guide the Fusion of the emperor bone with himself.

At this most critical moment.

"Creak."

The door opened.

Cao Bu walked in swaggering, his arm around Yun Shang's slender waist.

Yun Shang's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were hazy as she said coquettishly, "Cao Bu, what's so good about looking at this Gu Feng? You just had to come. Isn't it better to stay with me?"

"I'm just afraid of any unexpected changes."

Cao Bu laughed and gave her buttocks a squeeze. His gaze swept across the bed and instantly fixed on the perfected emperor bone glowing with radiant light on Gu Feng's chest.

"The emperor bone really did grow back."

Gu Feng's consciousness instantly felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. He roared and bellowed frantically, "Cao Bu! What do you want to do? Get away! Don't touch my emperor bone!"

But his Physical Body was unconscious, and he couldn't make even a sliver of sound. He could only watch helplessly as Cao Bu walked to the bedside.

Yun Shang also saw the emperor bone clearly and cried out in surprise, "How is this possible? His emperor bone actually grew back completely?"

Under the desperate gaze of Gu Feng's consciousness, Cao Bu let go of Yun Shang and reached out, precisely plunging his hand into Gu Feng's chest.

With a soft pfft, the perfected emperor bone was snapped off and removed.

The moment the emperor bone left his body, Gu Feng's Physical Body trembled violently. His consciousness suffered a heavy blow and instantly plunged into boundless darkness.

"No—!"

The Desolate Bone Immortal King let out a roar of collapse.

He had already seen hope, but this move by Cao Bu made that hope unreachable once again.

"This damn Mortal, he's infuriating me!"

The Desolate Bone Immortal King looked at the unconscious Gu Feng, gnashing his teeth in rage.

He wished he could strangle Cao Bu, that god-damned bastard, right now.

He didn't come early or late, but had to come at exactly this critical moment.

Cao Bu weighed the warm, jade-like emperor bone in his hand and satisfiedly put it into his storage ring. He turned to Yun Shang and instructed, "Shang'er, come and check on him every once in a while from now on. The emperor bone in his body might just grow back again."

These words caused the Desolate Bone Immortal King to faint from pure rage.

This bastard intends to treat Gu Feng like a sheep to be sheared!

Yun Shang nodded obediently. "As you wish."

Cao Bu laughed heartily, his hands climbing onto her perky buttocks. "Shang'er, you are the Clan Chief's wife, and I am the Vice Clan Leader. Shouldn't we do something to live up to these titles?"

Yun Shang's cheeks flushed. She leaned into his arms of her own accord and whispered, "Clan Chief, please be at ease; there's no need for restraint."

"Hahaha, the Clan Chief's wife truly understands my heart."

Cao Bu laughed joyfully and, no longer hesitating, picked Yun Shang up in a horizontal carry.

Yun Shang let out a startled cry, her arms naturally wrapping around his neck.

Cao Bu strode toward the adjacent room, kicked the door shut, and gently laid her on the soft bed.

Yun Shang's face was like a peach blossom, her eyes shimmering with shyness and anticipation. "You're always so impatient."

Cao Bu leaned over, supporting himself with one hand by her ear.

With his other hand, he lightly caressed her cheek, his voice deep and seductive. "Facing a beauty like you, Shang'er, if I were to remain indifferent, wouldn't I be wasting heaven's kindness?"
