92: Please grant my wish one more time.

Seeing this, Gu Lingshuang was furious: "Li Xinxue, have you no shame? You're already married, yet you still pester Big Brother Cao. Do you know what the clan has been saying about you lately?"

Li Xinxue didn't care at all and took a swig of wine: "Oh, what are they saying? Tell me, I'd like to hear."

"You still want to hear?" Gu Lingshuang got even angrier.

"Are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know?"

"The clan members are saying you're unfaithful, seducing my Big Brother Cao whenever you have time."

Li Xinxue didn't let go at all; instead, she reached out and hugged Cao Bu's arm: "So what if I'm unfaithful?"

"If Gu Yun can have several women, why can't I, Li Xinxue, have several men?"

Gu Lingshuang said angrily: "If you're looking for a man, can't you have higher standards? Big Brother is such a tras..."

Her voice stopped abruptly. Gu Lingshuang looked at Cao Bu awkwardly: "Big Brother, I didn't mean you. You should know that."

Cao Bu's mouth twitched.

Why did he feel like Gu Lingshuang did that on purpose?

"Hmph, so what if Big Brother is trash?" Li Xinxue chimed in: "I, Li Xinxue, just happen to like trash."

"It's better than some people who lost their purity and want Big Brother to be their backup man."

"A thick-skinned woman like you, I, Li Xinxue, am truly seeing for the first time."

Gu Lingshuang's cheeks turned red as she hurriedly explained to Cao Bu: "Big Brother, listen to me, I didn't mean that."

"Didn't mean that?" Li Xinxue sneered: "I saw you practicing swordsmanship together last time. Someone intentionally wore thin clothes and kept leaning into Big Brother's arms while practicing."

Saying this, she glanced at Gu Lingshuang.

The meaning was obvious—Gu Lingshuang was wearing very thin clothes right now.

Gu Chuyan watched this scene with great interest.

She never expected that as soon as Gu Yun left, Cao Bu would become a hot commodity.

These two coming near her Cao Bu was simply detestable.

However, her mind was now entirely on cultivation. Cultivating with Cao Bu was merely using pleasure to suppress pain.

Of course, it wasn't that she didn't love Cao Bu, but compared to cultivation, this love could only rank second.

"You have the nerve to talk about me?" Gu Lingshuang retorted: "You're not much better yourself!"

"While holding the title of Gu Yun's wife, you invite Big Brother for drinks every night. Who knows if you've done anything shameful after getting drunk?"

Just as she finished, Gu Lingshuang realized her slip of the tongue and quickly defended herself to Cao Bu: "Big Brother, I believe you aren't that kind of person. Don't misunderstand."

Cao Bu was speechless.

He really wanted to say, "Ling Shuang, you're right."

Every time they got drunk, he and Li Xinxue indeed did some shameful things.

It was just that only he knew; Li Xinxue was completely oblivious.

"Gu Lingshuang, take care of your own business first. Don't project the harm others did to you onto Big Brother." Li Xinxue's tone grew colder: "Big Brother is still clean. You, a second-hand item, matching with a first-hand one—are you even worthy?"

These words completely ignited Gu Lingshuang's fury. She drew her sword, ready for a life-and-death battle with Li Xinxue.

Just then.

Aunt Bai's figure appeared outside the courtyard: "Steward Cao, the Madam has business with you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingshuang's movement stopped immediately.

Cao Bu nodded and then said to the two: "Stop arguing.

"How about this, in two days when I've finished my work, I'll teach you swordsmanship and accompany you for drinks."

After saying that, he turned and followed Aunt Bai away.

Watching Cao Bu's retreating figure, Gu Lingshuang and Li Xinxue glared at each other.

At this moment, Gu Chuyan walked past them and indifferently dropped a sentence: "Stop fighting. Cao Bu's first time was taken by that Maidservant named Yan Ruyu."

Inside the Moyue Residence.

Leng Yue looked at Cao Bu as he entered, her eyes hiding tenderness mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Bu'er pays respects to Adoptive Mother." Cao Bu bowed properly.

Leng Yue sat in the main seat and nodded: "Bu'er, no need for formalities. Sit."

After saying that, she spoke to Aunt Bai and the surrounding Maidservants: "All of you, leave. No one is allowed near here without my command."

"Yes, Madam."

Aunt Bai and the Maidservants bowed and left.

Though curious, they knew Leng Yue's affairs weren't for them to pry into.

After Aunt Bai left, Leng Yue discreetly set up a soundproofing barrier and then said: "Bu'er, after four months of preparation, the Materials for the nine revolutions emperor bone rebuilding pill are basically gathered. Now, we are only missing the emperor bone, xuanwu true blood, and void purple crystal."

"Once these three are gathered, Adoptive Mother will take you to the Pill Alliance and ask the Pill Emperor to refine the pill for you to help restore your Dantian."

She paused, her tone carrying some disappointment: "But these remaining three items are extremely rare."

"Take the void purple crystal; it only exists in the Void Realm. Only two pieces have appeared in millions of years, and the most recent one was five million years ago. Its whereabouts are currently unknown."

"As for the xuanwu true blood, it must be of the Great Emperor level."

"But the defense of the Great Emperor Xuanwu is extremely strong. There are few Great Emperors who can break his defense, let alone kill him."

"I heard this Great Emperor Xuanwu's cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Great Emperor realm. Aside from the three Heavenly Emperors, no one else can kill him."

"But don't worry. If all else fails, once my strength increases, I'll use the methods left by Gu Qingtian and personally visit the Xuanwu Clan."

"Presumably, he will give me some Essence Blood out of respect for Gu Qingtian's Face."

Seeing Cao Bu sipping tea without speaking, Leng Yue asked tentatively: "Bu'er, are you worried that your lifespan isn't long enough?"

Cao Bu put down the teacup and said flatly: "Send word to Lu Chen about the three missing items. He will definitely find a way to get them for me."

In the current Spirit Realm, the one who wanted him dead most was Lu Chen. He was 100% confident the other party would agree.

With that instant kill great emperor system, if it can't be found, it can be bought with points.

Hearing this, Leng Yue nodded: "That's the only way."

Cao Bu nodded, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Then, Leng Yue's tone turned slightly cold: "Bu'er, I heard several women are pursuing you, including that girl Ling Shuang?"

Cao Bu picked up the tea and took a sip, saying indifferently: "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Leng Yue's expression turned ugly: "Bu'er, you know my thoughts. It's been four months, and you've been avoiding me. Why?"

Cao Bu put down the teacup, his fingertip tapping the table: "Why? I think you know better than I do."

"I do know, but do you really have to be so heartless and let what happened back then be forgotten?"

"What else can be done? If you can't stand it, just fire me."

"You..."

"You what? You were the one who did that kind of thing to me first. You think you're in the right? Believe it or not, I'll go tell Third Godmother and have her settle this for me?"

"Don't, I'll stop interfering with you, okay?"

"Hmph, I gave you Face."

After saying that, Cao Bu picked up the tea and continued sipping.

Leng Yue looked at Cao Bu resentfully.

She had no way to deal with this man.

Who told her she loved him so deeply?

Leng Yue took a deep breath and stated the real purpose of calling Cao Bu here.

"Cao Bu, it's been over five months since that last time."

Cao Bu instantly understood Leng Yue's meaning. He looked her over and realized she was dressed exceptionally eye-catchingly today.

Those legs, that waist, that chest—simply alluring.

Immediately, he beckoned with his hand.

Leng Yue walked to his side impatiently, staring at him coquettishly.

Cao Bu pulled her into his arms.

Just then.

Aunt Bai's voice sounded outside: "Madam, Young Master Gu Feng and the Young Mistress have returned."
