Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 136 - 26: Foundation Establishment Perfection, Fourth-Grade Golden Core
"Sect Leader Master, I’m fine too!"
Zhou Chen responded to Qing Yuyao outside.
"You little rascal, stop fooling around and get out quickly. What if the Sect Leader sees, what kind of example would that set?"
Cheng Susu glared fiercely at the mischief-making Zhou Chen, her voice full of pleading.
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
Zhou Chen stopped teasing her, gave a slight smile, and planted a heavy kiss on Cheng Susu’s soft lips before reluctantly pulling away.
He really was a bit unwilling to leave, but it would have to wait until next time!
"Whew!"
Cheng Susu let out a breath, her ample form trembling.
She quickly tidied herself up, though she felt an inexplicable emptiness inside.
"As long as you both are okay, what about Li Shentong?"
Seeing Zhou Chen and Cheng Susu come out, Qing Yuyao finally breathed a sigh of relief; the outcome was much better than she had imagined.
Zhou Chen and Cheng Susu were both uninjured.
As for Li Shentong, even if he escaped, it didn’t matter much.
There would be opportunities to deal with him later.
Coming out of the small boat, Zhou Chen waved at it, and it shrank to the size of a palm, which he then stored in his Storage Ring.
This small boat belonged to Li Shentong and was now Zhou Chen’s spoils of war.
He still remembered the first time he saw Li Changfeng’s Flying Ship and had felt envious, thinking that he would like to have one too someday.
It was like seeing someone else’s private plane.
Now, he had finally made it happen!
"Junior Sister Cheng, are you alright?"
Noticing Cheng Susu’s legs were a bit unsteady, her cheeks flushed like blood, and tears seeming to linger in her eyes, Qing Yuyao quickly expressed her concern.
It seemed Cheng Susu had suffered quite a bit and had endured grievances.
"Sect Leader Sister, I’m alright."
Cheng Susu tightened up, fearing Qing Yuyao might notice something amiss, and quickly explained:
"It’s just a minor injury. Zhou Chen has already helped me heal."
"Rest assured, Sect Leader Master, I’m quite skilled in healing. I guarantee the injuries disappear with a touch!"
Zhou Chen raised his hand, smiling in agreement.
Seeing Zhou Chen’s hand, Cheng Susu’s legs tightened, feeling something surging inside her.
"This bastard..."
"That’s good then!"
Qing Yuyao didn’t think much of it; although Zhou Chen was notorious for being flirtatious, there was quite a gap between him and Cheng Susu. Besides, having just narrowly escaped death, they wouldn’t have the time for anything else.
In fact, Qing Yuyao didn’t understand that, precisely because of their near-death experience and after a bloody battle of life and death, both men and women needed to release accumulated hostility and pressure.
Otherwise, problems could arise easily.
"Sect Leader Master, Li Shentong colluded with two Grand Elders of Flame Dragon Valley and Flaming Flame Mountain to ambush us. But all three have been killed, thanks to the Sword Talisman you gave me, which allowed us to heavily injure them and turn the tables!"
Zhou Chen briefly explained.
Cheng Susu, now tied to Zhou Chen, naturally corroborated whatever Zhou Chen said.
"Flame Dragon Valley is truly bold. Even after their defeat in the Yunduan Mountain Range, they’re still persistent in collaborating with Li Shentong to harm Junior Sister Cheng and Zhou Chen. This account must be settled with them!"
Qing Yuyao’s face filled with chill and killing intent, fully showcasing her authoritative presence as Sect Leader. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Zhou Chen’s heart echoed with the same killing intent towards Flame Dragon Valley.
He was not one to take a hit without retaliating.
If someone dared to attack him, they would have to pay the price.
Just as well, he had finished mastering the martial arts he had already collected and was wondering where to find more. Now, Flame Dragon Valley presented itself as a giant treasure trove.
Flame Dragon Valley was also a thousand-year-old sect, with a foundation rivaling that of the Cyan Cloud Sect and certainly housed numerous martial arts techniques.
"You’ve all worked hard this time, let’s head back and talk more!"
Qing Yuyao led Zhou Chen and Cheng Susu back to the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Once back at Cyan Cloud, Zhou Chen briefly recounted the events before returning to Divine Arrow Peak.
Though Qing Yuyao knew Zhou Chen had hidden quite a bit, she couldn’t press too hard.
For example, who left the Sword Qi on the battlefield besides her Sword Talisman?
Why was Li Shentong’s and others’ bodies burned entirely?
This was clearly to destroy evidence.
But everyone had their secrets, and Qing Yuyao guessed it involved either Cheng Susu or Zhou Chen.
As long as both of them were fine, there was no need to delve deeper.
...
Red Dust Mansion.
"Brother Chen, I’m so glad you’re okay, wah wah..."
Qin Hongyu dashed into Zhou Chen’s embrace. Previously, when she heard of Li Shentong’s betrayal leading Zhou Chen away, her heart was in her throat.
"Alright, alright, I’m fine. Li Shentong can’t kill me..."
Gently patting Qin Hongyu’s back, Zhou Chen glanced at the worried faces of Celestial Fragrance Fairy, Zhao Shiyong, Yu Youwei, Li Qingxia, and Gu Qiushui.
Picking Qin Hongyu up in one swoop, Zhou Chen laughed and said, "To celebrate my safe return, let’s have a party today!"
Qin Hongyu, Celestial Fragrance Fairy, and the six women blushed, familiar with what Zhou Chen meant.
The first time, they didn’t understand.
But after experiencing it, they understood what Zhou Chen’s party meant.
It was an unabashed rave.
Yet, none refused Zhou Chen.
A vibrant and aromatic celebration began.
Three days later.
Zhou Chen comforted the women and organized Li Shentong’s, Flame and Lie Shan’s Divine Sea Peak experts’ collections.
In this Extraordinary World, items like Storage Bags and Storage Rings were standard. A cultivator’s wealth was always carried with them because it was safest this way and convenient for making a quick escape.
Saying it benefited others if they were killed, wasn’t that a joke?
If you’re dead, why care for others?
Thus.
Zhou Chen found fifty-six top-grade martial arts manuals.
These were all personal collections, possibly acquired from Secret Realms, through killing, purchasing, or being gifted...
Definitely not sect-owned.
Generally, sect martial arts manuals were not allowed to be taken out privately.
"Fifty-six manuals, among which there are nine Lightweight Skills. Once mastered, my speed will surely increase significantly..."
