She no longer concealed her voice; her clear female voice rang out. Coupled with her earlier self-identification, everyone present, whether watching openly or secretly, paled in shock!
Sheng Linglong!
She has arrived, disguised and traveling incognito. I wonder how long she has been investigating here!
In an instant, many families felt a chill in their hearts. Standing amidst the lava, the two black bulls also felt a chill in their hearts.
They knew better than anyone the extent of the feud between their family and the Jin royal family. Immediately, the Black Ox's grandfather gave a wry smile, forcing a smile, and said, "I see. This has always been the Black Ox family's wish. It is truly a great honor for us that Her Highness the Princess has come in person!"
The bull demon hummed, conveying its willingness to form an alliance. The young bull demon was still resentful, but under the strong pressure of its ancestor, it suppressed its anger and lowered its head to express its submission.
One doesn't hit a smiling face, especially since they do have bigger troubles to deal with now. Suppressing the hatred in her heart, Sheng Linglong nodded gently: "Yes, now, Huang Mang is our common, greatest enemy."
Thus, a simple alliance was formed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave. Sheng Linglong had intended to do the same, but then her expression changed, and she turned her head to see Yan Shui looking at her with a shocked expression.
The author says:
Author's note: I apologize, I've been quite busy during the Chinese New Year holiday, so I'll be reducing the update count to 5,000 words for now.
I'm so sorry, I'll update more frequently once I've dealt with things at home.
Chapter 270 The Princess, Did She Sleep with Him?!
Suddenly realizing what was happening, the princess felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave!
Oh no, she found out!
Originally, she did not want to reveal her identity as "Gao Tianci" and her connection with Sheng Linglong, but the incident happened so suddenly that there was no point in hiding it any longer, so she hastily revealed her true identity.
However, she had done good deeds all these days under the identity of "Gao Tianci," so being exposed wasn't a big deal. There was only one thing she absolutely didn't want anyone to know: what happened at the hot spring!
But now, Yan Shuiyi has seen all of this, and she knows for sure that she and Yun Chuan took a bath together!
Naked and naked, completely honest with each other, even...
They rubbed and caressed each other!
She couldn't imagine what image of herself, this noble princess, would have in Yan Shuiyi's eyes right now.
She dared not even imagine what would happen if this news reached Yun Chu'an's ears through her mouth, and that man also found out that what he had touched that day wasn't some "tall guy's" chest and thighs, but the princess's breasts and mons pubis...
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down her spine!
She rushed to Yan Shui's side, her face filled with panic: "Don't tell anyone!"
Yan Shuiyi was also shocked. Hua Caiyan's guess was true. This "Gao Tianci" really was Sheng Linglong. Recalling what had happened before, her expression was absolutely explosive!
what happened?
At that moment, Sheng Linglong actually took the initiative to ask to soak in the hot spring with Yun Chu'an?!
Good heavens, could it be...?
What did they do in the hot spring?!
She couldn't bear to imagine it; just imagining the scene of mandarin ducks playing in the water made her blush.
In particular, she had personally witnessed Yun Chuan and Hua Caiyan's nightclub, seen his thick, enormous penis, and even been brought to orgasm by his voyeurism!
This inevitably stirred up her memories of that night, prompting her to use it as a blueprint to imagine what might have happened between him and the princess.
Her face flushed crimson. Upon seeing the princess approaching, she quickly turned her head away, her eyes darting away guiltily, unable to meet her gaze: "Princess... Your Highness!"
She stammered, her previous composure completely gone. Seeing her obvious change, how could Sheng Linglong not guess what she was thinking? The girl's face flushed slightly, and her tone became somewhat exasperated: "Those things you're thinking didn't happen!"
She tried to cover it up, so she moved closer to Yan Shuiyi, grabbed her arm, and whispered in her ear, "Don't tell anyone!"
Yan Shui nodded repeatedly, her expression obedient. She always believed in acting with a clear conscience, and from the beginning of her cultivation until now, she had never imagined feeling so guilty at this moment.
However, the more serious Sheng Linglong became, the more certain Yan Shuiyi was that there was definitely something between her and Yun Chuan!
Good heavens, the world has really changed. Even a princess of a country is so disregarding the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, secretly meeting with a wild man in private!
However, if the target is Yun Chu'an, it seems...
Yan Shui pursed her lips, feeling her inner world being shaken.
But then, she composed herself, turned around, and sped away on her sword, intending to return to the Qingyun Sect's stronghold.
This trip was essentially a wasted trip for her; she just didn't know how her junior brothers and sisters were doing now.
The battle of the Golden Core cultivators ended hastily, leaving some feeling angry, some relieved, and others deeply disappointed.
However, compared to the high-level cultivators who had many desires and were thus disappointed, Yun Chu'an and his group returned with a full load.
After the group of six met outside the entrance to the trial realm, they sped back to their hometown.
They encountered no further obstacles along the way. At this moment, in Yun Chu'an's courtyard, the five girls and Yun Chu'an, a total of six people, were counting their spoils from the trip:
"There are twenty-seven fire ox horns in total... Third Sister, Fourth Sister, that's enough for you two to cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Twenty-one rattlesnake tails, not bad. Chu An, Cai Yan, Meng Shen, and Qi Qiao, you all have a good chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"They shouldn't rush things. Let's distribute the Golden Fleece first, and let Caiyan Mengshen and Qi Qiao break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before we consider Foundation Establishment."
"Yes, and these medicinal herbs, Dream Body, they're all yours. Keep up the good work, do your best, and strive to become the best pharmacist in this area!"
……
Surrounding the octagonal table, Ye Jinglan emptied the storage bags of the Gongsun family members one by one, taking out their spoils and placing them together with her own, checking them one by one.
She was in high spirits, putting together the broadswords and armor of the four Gongsun brothers. However, looking at the wounds on them, her eyes showed a hint of regret: "What a pity. These things could have been used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now they have all been destroyed by us. It will probably cost a lot of money to repair them."
Across the table, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, and he said, "Then why not use my connections to sell all these damaged items cheaply to the snake demons? That way, we can pin the blame for the murder and robbery on them!"
Zhu Yunqing turned to look at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You've thought of everything."
Yun Chuan said, "After all, while the spoils of war are good, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of our family."
Our home.
Zhu Yunqing's heart stirred again, and she couldn't help but recall what Yun Chuan had said in the trial realm just now.
He is now powerful enough to protect her.
The more she recalled that sentence, the more her heart trembled, and the gentler her gaze became.
Unfortunately, she hadn't been lost in her own world for long when two spirit stone bags slammed down in front of her. Zhu Yunqing snapped out of her daze and saw that the two spirit stone bags were thrown at her by Ye Jinglan, who looked completely unconcerned and said, "You can count these, Yunqing, you're in charge of the accounts."
As she spoke, she rummaged through several storage bags, her expression shifting, her eyes crinkling with a smile. She took out a yellow round token and said with a laugh, "This magic item seems to be used to regulate the furnace temperature. Dream Body, here you go. See if it's useful for your alchemy."
Before she finished speaking, she tossed the magic weapon to Liu Mengshen, who accepted it without any formalities, saying "Thank you, elder sister."
Seeing her elder sister's expression, Zhu Yunqing didn't say anything and focused on counting the gains in the spirit stone bag.
Ye Jinglan continued to lead the division of spoils. The storage bags of the four members of the Gongsun family still contained many intact magical treasures and pills that they hadn't had time to use, which she distributed to her younger sisters one by one.
Yun Chu'an had also received quite a bit. He glanced around and noticed that Ye Jinglan's side was completely empty. He couldn't help but ask, "Big sister, didn't you keep any for yourself?"
Ye Jinglan was focused on searching and didn't even look up at him: "I don't need it. The most important thing on the path I'm on is to hone my skills and martial arts. These external things aren't useless to me, but having too many on me is still a hindrance."
After saying this, Ye Jinglan handed another talisman to Hua Caiyan and said, "This seems to be a one-time use talisman. You can stick it on your body somewhere on weekdays. If someone attacks you from behind, it can protect you once."
Hua Caiyan happily accepted the talisman, and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "It feels like all that trouble in that trial realm didn't amount to as much as what we got from this attack."
Ye Jinglan was startled and looked up at her, her expression serious. But before she could speak, Zhu Yunqing spoke up first: "Caiyan, you can't have such thoughts!"
"This kind of thing is just taking shortcuts, and it will bring disaster and cause endless harm. More importantly, this kind of thinking is a distracting thought, and it will delay your own spiritual practice!"
She said seriously, and Ye Jinglan nodded slightly beside her: "Your fourth sister is right. Having such wishful thinking and opportunistic thoughts will make your Dao heart impure. When you break through, inner demons will grow. If you are not careful, you will fall into the demonic path and there will be no way to turn back!"
Hua Caiyan shrank back, feeling even more timid after being scolded by her two older sisters at the same time: "I know, I don't want to think about these things..."
Chapter 271 Fourth Sister's Conquest Completed
Zhu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Jinglan's expression softened slightly. She then reached into the storage bag again, her expression suddenly brightening as she pulled out a box: "There's another Foundation Establishment Pill here?"
She took out the pill, opened it, and the enticing aroma of the pill wafted out, immediately catching Yun Chu'an's attention and making his gaze fixed on it, unable to look away.
Hua Caiyan's eyes lit up. Foundation Establishment Pill! This is a pill prepared for the ninth level of Qi Refining. It can help people quickly establish their foundation. It couldn't be more suitable for Yun Chuan at the moment.
But then, everyone saw Ye Jinglan hesitate, and then hand the pill to Zhu Yunqing: "Yunqing, you take it. Chu'an, when to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is up to your fourth sister."
"Your breakthrough speed is too fast. You broke through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level in less than three months. There are definitely many areas that you can't take care of. You haven't practiced the things that you should have practiced properly. So, you should often follow your fourth sister's guidance. She will teach you how to break through."
She paused for a moment, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her, and then added, "Ordinary rogue cultivators, no, even members of those aristocratic families, breaking through a minor realm in three to five years is considered incredibly fast. If someone can reach the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of forty, they are considered a minor genius and will be given special attention by their family."
"You've only been cultivating for a year, there's really no need to be too impatient. With each breakthrough in your cultivation level, your lifespan will be extended accordingly. Cultivation is a long road, and the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to fall into the demonic path."
After saying this, she glanced around and suddenly grinned mischievously: "Once you and your fourth sister learn how to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be your turn to help your fifth and sixth sisters break through as well."
Her choice of words was nothing special, yet it was indeed pointed. Hua Caiyan realized what her eldest sister was saying, and her pretty face suddenly turned bright red. She felt shy and embarrassed, but didn't know how to vent her feelings. All she could do was bar her teeth and claws at her eldest sister, looking fierce and terrifying, but it didn't have any deterrent effect at all; instead, it was quite cute.
Zhu Yunqing accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, nodded slightly, and turned to look at Yun Chuan: "This is also the usual practice. There are too many things to consider if you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage safely. Generally, you need to have a guide who is already at the Foundation Establishment stage to help you succeed."
"Chu'an, from now on you should come to my cave often. I will arrange some special assessments and trials for you. When you can complete them all, you can try to establish your foundation."
Yun Chu'an nodded, having no objection. His recent breakthroughs had indeed been too rapid; he needed time to consolidate his gains.
Ye Jinglan smiled. By this time, the spoils from the Gongsun family had been mostly distributed. She distributed the last storage bags to the group, clapped her hands, and announced, "Alright, that's all done now. I should go. Everyone, go do what you need to do."
Beside her, Nie Ningshuang nodded slightly, stood up, and turned to leave.
Her mental state was still poor, and she desperately needed rest. Because of her race, it was difficult for outsiders to truly help her, so Ye Jinglan could only give her as many cultivation resources as possible, leaving the rest to her to handle herself.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Yun Chu'an was also planning to return home. However, at that moment, Zhu Yunqing suddenly spoke up, saying, "Chu'an, come here. Come to my cave now."
Yun Chu'an was slightly taken aback: "Now? Fourth Sister, didn't you say you were going to set up some trial grounds?"
Hua Caiyan turned to look at him, her eyes filled with reluctance. She hadn't seen him for the past few days, and she was practically dying to see him. All she wanted now was to spend some quality time with him.
Unexpectedly, Fourth Sister wanted to call him over first.
Zhu Yunqing said, "Some exercises are more complicated and require planning, but some are simpler, and I can let you try them now."
"Come here. This is to help you overcome arrogance and impetuosity, and to make you clearly aware of where you still have shortcomings."
Yun Chu'an nodded, understanding in his heart, and didn't feel that anything was wrong. He got up and followed her.
Hua Caiyan felt a pang of sadness, but couldn't say anything. She made up her mind to cultivate diligently and catch up with him as soon as possible.
The crowd dispersed, and Yun Chu'an followed Zhu Yunqing towards her lair, just as he had followed her to learn how to make talismans when he first embarked on his cultivation journey.
The two remained silent the entire way, seemingly too exhausted to say anything more. It wasn't until they reached the entrance to Zhu Yunqing's cave that she suddenly stopped, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Yun Chu'an also stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and stared at her retreating figure.
Then, he heard his fourth sister suddenly speak up, saying, "You said you would protect me from now on?"
Yun Chu'an's heart skipped a beat, wondering what nerve her words had touched. But then his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, Fourth Sister."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out to support her arm: "From now on, it's my turn to protect you."
Zhu Yunqing turned his head back, his handsome brows furrowed as if in dissatisfaction, but his tone was not very reproachful: "What do you have to protect me with? You just managed to kill a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators by chance, and you dare to be so arrogant?"
Yun Chu'an stepped forward and turned to face her. He was actually taller than Zhu Yunqing, who was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, and even with her hair all piled on top of her head, she was only about the same height as him.
At that moment, he looked down at her plain face. The spider demon raised her head slightly, looked at him, and realized for the first time in her life that this man was actually taller than her, and she had to look up at him.
“Even if I might be weaker,” he said softly, “does that mean I can’t protect my family?”
"Fourth Sister, you've always been the one protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect you." He said, then suddenly smiled. "Besides, I'm improving too, aren't I? I'm going to participate in your special training and trials next. I want to become stronger, break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and even the Golden Core stage, to protect you and our home."
"We can no longer let those villains harm us."
He spoke softly, yet his tone was extremely firm, each word striking Zhu Yunqing's heart, making her tremble and her eyes glaze over.
She looked up at Yun Chu'an's face. In fact, the two had always maintained a delicate and safe distance when they were together, and had never been so close to each other face to face before.
Therefore, Zhu Yunqing almost never realized that this man, whose cultivation level was lower than hers, was actually far greater than herself.
Now, he has actually surpassed her, like a towering tree, providing her with shade and becoming her support.
Zhu Yunqing's eyes opened like water, the ice in her heart melted uncontrollably, and a certain emotion was released and burst forth uncontrollably.
At that very moment, a system notification sounded in Yun Chu'an's ear: [Ding, the trust level of family member 'Fourth Sister' Zhu Yunqing has increased to 'Admiration'.]
[The quest 'Conquer Zhu Yunqing' has been completed, and rewards are being distributed...]
As soon as the sound rang out, Yun Chu'an's eyes lit up, and then his face showed uncontrollable ecstasy!
After the initial euphoria, a surge of emotion, mixed with excitement and gratitude, welled up in his chest, making it difficult for him to contain his feelings.
He gazed at the spider demon's exquisite face, her cherry-red, moist lips, and couldn't resist the urge to kiss her and steal her first kiss.
