Chapter 184

Zhan Qiuyun took a deep breath. Her moon-patterned robe rippled with a gentle rise and fall. The primal yang qi infused into her by Yang Chen moved through her meridians, transforming into golden flames. With her cultivation level, she could have expelled the primal yang qi right away.

But how could she bear to do so? For her, this primal yang qi was incredibly precious, a powerful tonic.

Zhan Qiuyun hurriedly directed her inner qi to absorb all of Yang Chen’s primal yang qi into meridians. The blush on her cheeks gradually faded. Her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but glare at Yang Chen once more.

This little rascal, truly … To suddenly inject a surge of primal yang qi.

She nearly embarrassed herself.

If she’d cried out just now, wouldn’t she, the revered master of You Yue Peak, have lost face completely?

“Martial Aunt, what do you say? Please do your nephew a favor! Could you spare Junior Brother Xiao Dong just this once?” Yang Chen said once more.

Zhan Qiuyun came back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Chu Xi, who was kneeling before her. She understood exactly what Yang Chen, this little rascal, was up to. He was simply trying to win over Chu Xi.

Hmph. Fine.

She’d do him this favor. Even though she worried that Xiao Dong might regain his Pure Yang Sacred Physique in the future, at the moment, Xiao Dong was nothing more than an ant. Letting him live for a few decades or a century more would make little difference.

At most, he’d just be a slightly bigger ant. When the time came, killing him would still be as easy as crushing a bug.

“Alright! Since you’ve asked, Yang Chen, I’ll accede to this request. However, I have some things that need your help. Come by my place in the next few days when you have the time! Don’t forget!” Zhan Qiuyun said, giving Yang Chen a knowing look.

Yang Chen immediately understood. This woman needed it again. Although he had caught her off guard just now, it clearly hadn’t satisfied her fully.

He chuckled. Her demands seemed pretty high.

“Martial Aunt, rest assured, I’ll visit as soon as I have the time! You did say before that you’d guide me in my cultivation. I was already planning to visit you as it is!”

The corners of Zhan Qiuyun’s mouth lifted slightly.

Then, her figure faded, disappearing from where she stood.

“Yang … Senior Brother Yang, thank you!”

At this moment, Chu Xi, who was kneeling, rose and thanked Yang Chen.

Earlier, Xiao Dong had angered their master. Without Senior Brother Yang’s intervention, Xiao Dong would likely have been in grave danger. Her master, when enraged, truly could have killed Xiao Dong.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, there’s no need for thanks between us. It would be too formal.” Yang Chen smiled warmly.

Instantly, Chu Xi’s cheeks flushed again. She and Senior Brother Yang … were now Dao companions.

“Senior Brother Yang!” Chu Xi murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with gentle affection as she gazed at Yang Chen. If it weren’t for the people around watching, she would have thrown herself into his arms right then and there.

“Ah!”

At that moment, a scream rang out.

Yang Chen and Chu Xi looked over urgently. Xiao Dong was kneeling, his face contorted in pain. A moment ago, Zhan Qiuyun’s killing intent had made him temporarily forget his pain. Now, realizing he’d just escaped death, the sharp pain in his face returned. He couldn’t help but cry out.

Xiao Dong’s face was a bloodied mess from the impact of Zhan Qiuyun’s attack.

Blood dripped continuously.

“Xiao Dong!” Upon seeing this, Chu Xi quickly ran over. Looking at her brother’s miserable state, her heart ached terribly. She hastily took out a vial of spiritual medicine, opened it, and placed a white pill into Xiao Dong’s mouth.

“Xiao Dong, I’ve given you a healing pill. Quickly circulate your qi to absorb the medicinal effects!”

Xiao Dong sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began absorbing the medicine to heal his face. Inside, he seethed with rage.

That vile woman Zhan Qiuyun had truly been ruthless.

Just wait, vile woman. Someday, I’ll make sure you pay dearly.

Yang Chen approached Chu Xi.

“Martial Aunt is truly severe, to be so harsh on her own disciple!”

Hearing this, Chu Xi quickly replied: “Senior Brother Yang, please don’t say that! Today’s incident was Xiao Dong’s fault for offending the master. He was in the wrong! If it weren’t for you, Senior Brother Yang, interceding, Xiao Dong’s life would have been at risk! Senior Brother Yang, I still must thank you!”

Hearing this, a faint smile played on Yang Chen’s lips. Then, he held Chu Xi’s delicate hand.

“Senior Brother Yang!” Chu Xi was startled, her cheeks flushing deeply.

“Junior Sister Chu Xi, I’ve told you before, don’t say thank you—it feels too formal! We’re Dao companions now! What I did for you is simply natural! And don’t worry, I’ll consider Xiao Dong my own brother from now on!”

Hearing Yang Chen’s heartfelt words, Chu Xi’s body trembled slightly. Her eyes, gentle as water, glanced around, noticing that the disciples who had been watching had mostly dispersed.

And Xiao Dong was fully immersed in healing with his eyes closed.

Instantly, Chu Xi’s courage grew. Unable to hold back, she stepped forward and embraced Yang Chen.

“Senior Brother Yang, you’re so good to me!” Chu Xi whispered in Yang Chen’s ear, her voice full of tender affection.

Feeling her delicate and graceful form in his arms, Yang Chen’s hands couldn’t help but wrap around her slender waist. He applied a bit of pressure. An astonishing sensation followed.

“Mmm! Senior Brother Yang!” Chu Xi also felt their bodies pressing together. Though there were clothes between them, she couldn’t help but let out a soft murmur. Her body completely relaxed in Yang Chen’s embrace.

Meanwhile, having absorbed some of the pill’s effects, Xiao Dong suddenly thought of his sister being alone with that scoundrel Yang Chen, and in his concern, he immediately opened his eyes.

In that instant, Xiao Dong’s eyes widened in shock. For he saw that scoundrel Yang Chen not only embracing his sister but also allowing his hands to roam along her back.

Eventually, his hands rested on her ample lower back.

“Ah! Yang Chen, I … damn you! Let … let go of my sister! Ugh! Pfft!”

Xiao Dong shouted in rage. But in his anger, coupled with his already-injured state, he felt a burning in his throat and spat out another mouthful of blood. Xiao Dong felt his vision spin, and his body swayed heavily before falling to the ground.

“Xiao Dong!” Immersed in Yang Chen’s embrace, Chu Xi cried out in alarm upon seeing this. She quickly broke free from Yang Chen’s arms.

[Ding! Xiao Dong has witnessed host’s close embrace with Chu Xi, damaging his mental state further, worsening his injuries, and causing him to faint, yielding 1000 points of Providence Luck from him. The host has gained 1000 VPs.]

Hearing the system notification, a hint of amusement and helplessness appeared on Yang Chen’s face.

Junior Brother Xiao Dong, why didn’t you just focus on healing? Why did you have to open your eyes? Seeing your brother-in-law with your sister is too much for you to bear.

Sigh. There’s really nothing I can do with you.

But …

Watching Chu Xi’s graceful, delicate figure, Yang Chen brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed gently.

Your sister has quite a nice scent.

He chuckled darkly.
