210: Memories of my childhood

One month later.

Cao Bu and Gu Yingying returned to the Gu Clan at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, the two left their footprints everywhere.

Now, Gu Yingying's brow held a bit more of the charm of a mature woman, appearing even more soul-stirring.

The more Cao Bu looked at her, the more he liked her.

He quite enjoyed the process of cultivating a green young girl into a charming young wife bit by bit.

Furthermore, Gu Yingying was already a rare peerless beauty in the world.

After returning to the Gu Clan, Cao Bu watched Gu Yingying's svelte departing figure and sighed in a low voice.

"Gu Qingtian's mother was a beauty back in the day."

"The wife he married was also one of the top three of the Spirit Realm's ten great beauties, and now his daughter has grown up to be so exquisite."

"Sigh, I'm so damn envious. If only Gu Qingtian's mother could be resurrected, then I, Cao, would definitely not step out of the house for three years!"

Recalling that glimpse of her graceful bearing from years ago, Cao Bu's memory of it was still fresh.

That was one of the most unforgettable memories of his youth.

"Master, Sister Zhao sent someone to deliver a letter."

At this time, Yan Ruyu, who had been guarding the courtyard, walked over and handed a letter to him.

Cao Bu withdrew his gaze, turned to take the letter, opened it, and read it carefully.

"Cao Bu, there is news of the yin yang jade. I am in Room Eight of the Heaven Grade at the Floating Life Restaurant in Eternal Night City, Demon State. Come quickly."

Cao Bu looked up at Yan Ruyu. "When was this letter delivered?"

"Three days ago," Yan Ruyu replied.

Cao Bu nodded. "Alright, I'll make a trip to the Demon State now. If my two Adoptive Mothers ask, just tell them the truth."

Yan Ruyu obediently complied, her cheeks suddenly flushing slightly as she hesitated to speak. "Master, could you stay for another hour?"

The corner of Cao Bu's mouth curled slightly. He closed the courtyard door behind him, picked up Yan Ruyu, and walked toward the bedroom.

Not far away.

Bai Meier, who had just opened the door to the cultivation room, saw this scene and grumbled coquettishly, "Master is biased! I want it too~"

As she spoke, she proactively leaned in.

Cao Bu laughed and instructed, "Close the door."

Bai Meier smiled sweetly. "Alright~"

Half a day later.

Only then did Cao Bu leave the Gu Clan and set off for Eternal Night City in the Demon State.

One month later.

Cao Bu tore through space, traversing over a dozen states, and finally arrived at Eternal Night City.

After this period of cultivation, his cultivation base had broken through another level, reaching the second level of the World Venerable.

Following the address in the letter, Cao Bu arrived outside Room Eight of the Heaven Grade at the Floating Life Restaurant and raised his hand to knock gently on the door.

"Knock knock!"

The door opened in response.

"Rou'er?"

Looking at Lin Rou before him, Cao Bu was stunned for a moment.

Wasn't it Zhao Wei who called him here?

Why was Lin Rou here as well?

Moreover, Lin Rou didn't know about the matter between the two of them yet. Could it be... He looked up and saw Zhao Wei standing not far behind Lin Rou.

Cao Bu cast an inquiring look.

Zhao Wei stepped forward, pulled Cao Bu into the room, closed the door behind her, and turned to explain.

"There's no need to hide it anymore. Rou'er already knows about the matter between us."

Cao Bu looked at Lin Rou and saw a hint of reproach in her eyes.

"Cao Bu, you... you actually kept it from me."

Cao Bu pulled her into his arms and said softly, "I was just afraid you'd be lonely, so I resorted to this."

Lin Rou rolled her eyes at him.

This scoundrel didn't even blink when he lied.

But since things had come to this, she could only accept it.

And for Lin Rou to accept it so quickly, Zhao Wei deserved much of the credit.

Cao Bu could naturally tell, so he gave Zhao Wei a satisfied look and then walked over to sit at the round table.

"What's the situation with the yin yang jade?"

The two women sat down beside him.

Zhao Wei explained, "The yin yang jade mine is several million miles north of Eternal Night City. It's the same mine that belonged to the Yin Yang Sect back then."

"After the Yin Yang Sect was destroyed, this mine was abandoned, but some forces still sneak in to mine it."

"How much is left now is unknown."

Cao Bu frowned in thought.

This time, besides this matter, he also wanted to collect yin yang jade in the Demon State.

This kind of jade was a treasure for Cultivators who practiced the Yin-Yang Law, but for other Cultivators, it was no different from ordinary Spirit Stones.

The amount the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor brought out was only fifty thousand pieces, which showed that this yin yang jade must be extremely rare.

Zhao Wei continued, "There's one more thing. Two days ago, a ruin was discovered in that yin yang jade mine. Tens of thousands of people have already gathered there, even some Quasi-Emperors have come. It's estimated that some incredible treasure is about to be born."

"I've already sent people to keep an eye on it. As soon as the ruin opens, we can rush over immediately."

"As for the yin yang jade mine, we can only see how much is left when the time comes."

Cao Bu nodded; it seemed he couldn't pin all his hopes on this mine.

"Is there a larger chamber of commerce in Eternal Night City? One where I can buy yin yang jade?" he asked, changing the subject.

Zhao Wei replied, "The Jiye Chamber of Commerce. It's a force under the Dark Heavenly Emperor, located in the west of the city. They should have some."

Cao Bu pondered for a moment. "In that case, I'll make a trip there now."

This concerned whether his cultivation could be improved in a short time, so it could not be delayed.

Just as he was about to get up, his two arms touched four soft masses respectively.

Looking down, he saw both women looking at him expectantly.

"Rou'er, you don't mind?" Cao Bu asked softly.

Lin Rou shook her head. "This day was bound to come sooner or later."

Cao Bu looked at Zhao Wei again. "You woman, you certainly have good methods to make even her accept this."

Zhao Wei giggled. "I learned it all from you."

"In that case, I'll go a bit later."

Meanwhile.

Inside Room Seven of the Heaven Grade.

A woman sat alone at the table, her fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, outlining a soul-stirring curve of her chest, with a slender waist suddenly tapering beneath the full arc.

The snowy white skin faintly visible at the neckline rippled with silent temptation in the stillness.

Suddenly, she heard a faint sound from next door and couldn't help but furrow her elegant brows.

"In broad daylight, how truly shameless."

She raised her delicate hand and tapped her temple with her fingertip, trying to block out the annoying sound.

But an hour passed, and not only did the next room not quiet down, but the commotion grew louder and louder.

"Unreasonable!" She finally became angry. "I want to see just who is so tireless."

As she spoke.

Her beautiful eyes instantly turned crimson. The walls and Formation barriers before her became transparent, and everything in the next room was suddenly exposed.

When she saw the beautiful mature woman, a flash of surprise crossed her blood-red pupils. "Zhao Wei?"

It then turned into deep amusement. "Hehe, what a fine scene of an affair."

She looked at the man again, her brows furrowed, and suddenly recognized him. "Cao Bu!"

"These... these two are actually like this."

When she saw the face of the woman not far away, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Lin Rou!"

After the Heavenly Pride Battle ended, the appearances of the top ten had already spread.

Coupled with her extraordinary status, she had naturally seen the relevant intelligence.

Furthermore, since the Lin Clan was an Immortal Emperor Clan, she naturally knew about their key members.

But she never expected that the two most important women in Lin Xiaotian's heart would actually be like this.

She retracted her blood-red pupils, a flash of excitement in her eyes.

"Lin Xiaotian, oh Lin Xiaotian, you, a dignified Great Emperor, probably never dreamed that your backyard is already on fire."

She chuckled to herself and took out a transmission jade pendant. "You'd better receive this great gift well."

The jade talisman turned into a streak of light and escaped into the Void Realm, heading straight for the Lin Clan's ancestral land in the Central State.

Having done all this, she poured herself a cup of light tea, a look of anticipation curling at the corner of her mouth.

"Now, there's going to be a good show to watch."
