Chapter 291

“However, though my consciousness has reawakened, my physical body and soul still need time to recover, so I’ll trouble you to take me out of this place! But before that, could you please put on some clothes first?”

“Hm? Put on clothes first?” Yang Chen’s expression froze slightly.

He looked down. A faint, amused smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he stood naked in front of the crystal coffin, facing the Aurora Dao Master’s breathtakingly beautiful face.

Though separated by the crystal coffin, this was, after all, somewhat disrespectful. After all, lying in the coffin was a peerlessly beautiful true immortal giant.

“Please forgive me, Senior, this junior was careless and offended you!” Yang Chen hurriedly clasped his hands in apology. Then he took out a piece of clothing and put it on.

“Senior, shall this junior open the crystal coffin and take you out?”

As Yang Chen spoke, he moved to open the crystal coffin. In his view, no one would want to stay lying in a coffin forever. Even if this coffin was made of crystal. Moreover, carrying away a stunningly beautiful woman directly would surely be more auspicious than carrying away a coffin. But despite using all his strength, the upper lid of the crystal coffin didn’t budge. And the true energy in his body was being rapidly absorbed by the crystal coffin.

Yang Chen quickly withdrew his hand.

The Aurora Dao Master spoke at this moment: “This crystal coffin is a supreme treasure, and it bears the seal of the Great Dao, which also blocks the secrets of heaven! With your current cultivation, you cannot open it! Yang Chen, just take the crystal coffin away directly. Once this seat revives in the future, I will be able to emerge from it! But you must not tell anyone about my awakening, including those two women!”

“Rest assured, Senior, this junior knows what to do!” As Yang Chen spoke, he stored the crystal coffin in his inner space.

Moments later, the Ethereal Saintess and Yu Xuan, who were in the pool, opened their beautiful eyes simultaneously.

Yu Xuan, aware of her current state, hurriedly took out a white palace dress and put it on. The Ethereal Saintess’s beautiful eyes first showed confusion, then she looked down. Instantly, a striking flush surged across her cheeks.

She was completely naked. It must have been due to absorbing the origin immortal liquid earlier. The Ethereal Saintess quickly took out a white dress and put it on. Then her beautiful eyes shifted, searching for Yang Chen’s figure.

Suddenly, the Ethereal Saintess froze. Because Yang Chen was standing by the edge of the pool, watching her leisurely.

That scene just now—this jerk had definitely seen it.

How infuriating.

…

The Ethereal Saintess, looking at Yang Chen with a playful smile on his face, gritted her teeth and angrily cursed: “Yang Chen, you shameless lecher! Close your damn eyes already!”

Yang Chen immediately felt a bit helpless. “Saintess, how am I a lecher? It was the origin immortal liquid that dissolved the clothes on your body, not me! Besides, you’ve already put on clothes, so why should I close my eyes?”

“Damn it, shut your mouth!” The Ethereal Saintess was so angry she clenched her silver teeth. Ever since she embarked on the path of cultivation, she had always worn a veil to cover her face. Very few people had ever seen her true appearance.

But now, Yang Chen had seen her body. The disciples of the Ethereal Immortal Palace were all pure and holy fairies. Especially as the Saintess, she was the face of the palace.

The Ethereal Saintess coldly stared at Yang Chen, very much wanting to strike and kill him outright to end it once and for all. But she clearly knew that at this moment, she was no match for this bastard. Suddenly, the Ethereal Saintess’s beautiful eyes narrowed again, looking behind Yang Chen.

“Yang Chen, where’s that tricolor crystal coffin?”

“Tricolor crystal coffin?” Yang Chen also feigned confusion and said: “I don’t know either! I only woke up a few breaths earlier than you and Yu Xuan, and when I did, I found the tricolor crystal coffin gone! Saintess, I think this matter is quite unusual! This place is very strange!” Yang Chen spoke with a serious air.

The Ethereal Saintess looked at him suspiciously, clearly not believing his words.

“Yang Chen, I warn you, that’s the body of a true immortal! If you took it without permission, aren’t you worried it might bring misfortune? Moreover, the Aurora Dao Master is my ancestor, and I, Yang Qingchan, absolutely will not allow you to desecrate her body!”

“Hah!” Yang Chen immediately let out a sneer.

This Ethereal Saintess spoke so righteously. Her true intention was obviously that she coveted the Aurora Dao Master’s body for herself.

However, your ancestor is no longer a corpse at this point—she’s come back to life. And she chose me to take her away.

“If the Saintess doesn’t believe me, I have no way to convince you! You can come check my inner space!”

“Hmph, you’re proficient in the Dao of space—how could I possibly detect anything?” The Ethereal Saintess let out a cold snort.

At this moment, Yu Xuan, standing nearby, said impatiently: “Yang Qingchan, don’t be too overbearing! The Aurora Dao Master’s origin immortal liquid only gathered because it sensed the Holy Son’s radiant divine glow. We didn’t stop you from absorbing it—you’ve already benefited! If you keep stirring up trouble, don’t blame us for suppressing you!” Yu Xuan’s body radiated with divine light.

At this moment, having absorbed a large amount of origin immortal liquid, her cultivation had soared, breaking through to the seventh level of the Void Refining Realm.

The gap between her and the Ethereal Saintess’s tenth level of the Void Refining Realm had narrowed significantly. She now had the confidence to speak up.

“Hmph, just you?” The Ethereal Saintess glanced at Yu Xuan, a trace of disdain flashing in her beautiful eyes. But she didn’t continue pressing about the tricolor crystal coffin. However, the suspicion in her eyes still hadn’t faded.

She still believed Yang Chen, that bastard, had secretly taken the tricolor crystal coffin.

At this moment, the tomb chamber suddenly trembled. The tricolor immortal light at the entrance was gradually dissipating.

“Yang Chen, Yu Xuan, the three of us should keep the secret of the origin immortal liquid to ourselves from now on! Otherwise, if word gets out that we obtained the origin immortal liquid of the Aurora Dao Master, a giant of the immortal realm, it will surely bring a lot of trouble!” The Ethereal Saintess said at this moment.

“Naturally, Saintess, rest assured. The two of us aren’t fools!” As Yang Chen finished speaking, Ji Qingyou’s figure appeared at the entrance of the stone tomb. Seeing the tricolor immortal light completely dissipate, she hurriedly rushed in. Her beautiful eyes swept over the tomb space, a flicker of disappointment passing through them.

The tomb space was now completely empty, with nothing left.

“Judging by your appearances, it seems you’ve gained quite a bit!” Ji Qingyou’s gaze swept over the three of them, finally resting on Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan had absorbed the most of the Aurora Dao Master’s origin immortal liquid and undergone the greatest change. Not only had her holy aura grown more pronounced, but her cultivation had also jumped from the third level of the Void Refining Realm to the seventh level.

“Empress Senior, it’s best not to get any crooked ideas!” Yang Chen warned.

He knew what Ji Qingyou was up to. This old woman wanted to seize Yu Xuan’s inheritance.

“Hmph! The thing you promised this Empress—shouldn’t you hand it over now?” Ji Qingyou extended her jade hand toward Yang Chen.
