Chapter 238

“You, how impudent! You little brat, who would be jealous of you?” Zhan Qiuyun immediately gave Yang Chen a fierce glare. Being called out directly, her fair and jade-like face involuntarily flushed.

“Martial Aunt isn’t jealous, so why is her tone so sour?” Yang Chen continued teasing.

“Am I? Hmph, I can’t be bothered with you! The elders are coming. Act proper! If anyone notices something amiss, I won’t let you off!” Zhan Qiuyun sensed the elders approaching and hurriedly warned him. The blush and embarrassment on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by her usual calm and indifferent demeanor.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but give her a thumbs-up. He had to admire this beautiful Martial Aunt’s acting prowess.

Zhan Qiuyun was responsible for discussing with the elders about how to secure the position of Holy Son. Yang Chen, on the other hand, used the excuse of needing to stabilize his cultivation and returned to the small courtyard.

“Brother Chen!” Seeing Yang Chen return safely, Chu Xi immediately rushed into his arms.

“Alright, alright!” Yang Chen comforted her briefly, his gaze falling on her stomach.

For the past six months, he had mostly been in secluded cultivation. Even though they lived in the same courtyard, he and Chu Xi often went an entire month without meeting once. Frankly, he hadn’t been a very responsible father.

“Xi’er, from now on, I will spend more time with you and our child!” Yang Chen gently stroked Chu Xi’s delicate back and spoke softly.

“Mm!” Chu Xi choked up and wrapped her arms around Yang Chen’s neck.

After a while of tender moments, Chu Xi blushed shyly and said, “Brother Chen, Xi’er has missed you!”

“You missed me?” Yang Chen, of course, knew what she meant by that.

When a couple was already holding each other, “missing” could only mean taking things further.

However ... Yang Chen glanced at Chu Xi’s stomach.

“Xi’er, the baby is quite big now! Let’s not …” Yang Chen said as he gently stroked Chu Xi’s silky black hair.

Then, the two entered the wooden house.

Seven days passed.

In the Heavenly Dao Holy Land, the competition for the Holy Son had officially begun.

Tongtian Peak. It is the main peak of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land and the mountain where the Heavenly Dao Hall was located. The Xuantian Sect’s Tongtian Peak was named after this one. After all, the founder of the Xuantian Sect had once been an elder of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land.

However, compared to the Xuantian Sect’s Tongtian Peak, the Tongtian Peak of the Heavenly Dao Holy Land was even more majestic and magnificent.

It stood tens of thousands of meters tall and stretched several thousand miles around. From a distance, it looked like a towering stone pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Perhaps the name “Tongtian” (Reaching Heaven) originated from this very sight. At this moment, Tongtian Peak was bustling with activity.

One after another, figures with vast auras descended. The forces invited to the Heavenly Dao Holy Land’s Holy Son competition were naturally extraordinary. Even if they weren’t at the Holy Land level, they were ancient clans and prominent sects that dominated regions.

The arena on Tongtian Peak floated in midair. Around it were several stone platforms connected by chains, exuding a simple and solemn atmosphere.

“Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Holy Son competition of my Heavenly Dao Holy Land! I, Yu, am deeply grateful!”

At this moment, Yu Yourong appeared above one of the stone platforms and spoke slowly. Her tone was polite, but it carried the authority of someone who had been in power for a long time, as well as the oppressive aura of someone at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm.

Even the powerful guests from other sects bowed respectfully.

“We greet the Heavenly Dao Holy Lord!”

Yu Yourong remained hidden in the clouds and mist, her figure obscured.

Her overwhelming power radiated an air of mystery, elevating her status significantly.

However, Yang Chen noticed that her gaze occasionally lingered on him, as though she were trying to see through him. This left him annoyed, and he couldn’t help but curse inwardly: “Dammit, what are you looking at? Could it be that after our dual cultivation of primordial spirits, she’s missing me?”

In the arena, Yu Zun stepped forward, walking on air, and stood at the center of the stage. His features were like carved jade, and his appearance was extraordinarily handsome. A holy radiance emanated from his body, making him look like a god descending to the mortal world.

As soon as he appeared, all eyes turned to him. To be precise, all the forces attending the Holy Son competition wanted to witness Yu Zun’s grandeur …

After all, Yu Zun’s reputation was immense. He was the Holy Lord’s nephew, possessed a Holy Spirit physique, and was invincible among those of the same level.

Yu Zun didn’t disappoint them. Several early-stage Void Refinement cultivators were defeated by him within three moves. His victories were clean and decisive, completely one-sided.

This time, Yu Zun’s opponent was a sword cultivator at the fourth stage of the Void Refinement Realm. As soon as this opponent appeared, a wave of discussion erupted.

“It’s Dugu Wutian! I didn’t expect him to have reached the fourth stage of Void Refinement!”

Yang Chen, puzzled by this person’s identity, suddenly heard a melodious and elegant voice from behind him.

Turning around, A tall and holy figure walked to his side. Her skin was like flawless jade, her face breathtakingly beautiful, as if a celestial goddess had descended to the mortal world.

Yang Chen could clearly see that nearly all the male disciples on the stone platform had their gazes fixed in his direction.

“So, it’s Fairy Yuxuan!” Yang Chen smiled faintly.

“Junior Brother Yang just recently broke through the tribulation and entered the Void Refinement Realm. Are you already preparing to participate in the Holy Son competition today? Junior Brother Yang has limitless potential. Even if you don’t become the Holy Son of Heavenly Dao Holy Land, all of its resources will still be open to you in the future! Besides, Aunt must have told you, right? She proposed that the two of us should marry. On this matter, I am willing!

“As long as Junior Brother Yang gives up participating in the Holy Son competition today, we can get married tomorrow. Moreover, my Yu Clan will include ten Soul Transformation Realm fairies as part of the dowry, to serve as your maids!”

Upon hearing Yuxuan’s words, Yang Chen’s face immediately lit up with a faint smile.

Was this the top-ranked fairy on the Celestial List trying to tempt him into giving up the Holy Son competition? Not only offering herself in marriage, but also throwing in ten Soul Transformation Realm fairies as dowry.

Heh. Did she really think Yang Chen was that kind of person? Did she assume he was someone who lusted after beauty and women?

If they wanted him to give up the Holy Son competition, unless ... Unless they included Yu Yourong, that beautiful woman, in the dowry.
