Chapter 123: A Touch of Spring (10,000-Word Update Request for Subscription)

Rain Listening Pavilion.

Morning.

Shen Xuan lay on the soft bed, slowly opening his eyes.

In the bedroom, a pile of young girl’s clothes was scattered around.

A goose-yellow Immortal Skirt, a pink dudou, white silk stockings, exquisite embroidered shoes...

The bed was filled with the girl’s fragrance.

A beautiful body with skin like creamy jade, graceful and elegant.

White lotus-like jade arms wrapped around Shen Xuan’s neck.

A pair of long, slender legs tightly clinging to Shen Xuan’s body.

Making Shen Xuan’s heart once again surge with bold emotions.

He patted the round buttocks.

Su Xue’Er opened her starry eyes, a touch of fatigue showing on her charming face.

Seeing Shen Xuan full of vigor, she bit her silver teeth and sensibly burrowed back under the covers.

Shen Xuan gently caressed Su Xue’Er’s forehead, revealing a satisfied expression.

Last night, Su Xue’Er had proactively visited, frankly declaring herself still a virgin, willing to become Shen’s bed companion.

When she spoke, Su Xue’Er’s face was full of a maiden’s blush, seeming to have mustered all her courage.

To this, Shen Xuan did not refuse.

He was going to stay with the Flying Cloud Su Clan for thirty years.

He did not wish to marry, but still needed a companion.

While meeting physiological needs, she could also handle some chores for him.

Currently, he was a high-level cultivator, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and also a Tier Two Talisman Master.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he let it be known, young female cultivators willing to marry him could form a long queue.

Many cultivators, after achieving Foundation Establishment, would take three or four wives.

But Su Xue’Er only wanted the title of a concubine.

"I’m very capable!"

Even if Shen Xuan were foolish, he could understand the implication.

Of course, he had to test it out.

Su Xue’Er lifted her head, slowly approaching Shen Xuan.

Her soft little hands gently unbuttoned Shen Xuan’s clothes.

Then.

The drunken beauty lay on the lotus bed, displaying all kinds of charm in the spring light.

The moonlight was beautiful, the tenderness long, the fragrance of jade and delicately shy flowers.

As he enjoyed Su Xue’Er’s service, Shen Xuan’s thoughts were somewhat blurred.

Since Zhu Yingying left, he had focused solely on cultivation, and had not felt passion for years.

Unexpectedly, this Su Xue’Er, though young, was quite shrewd, having done her homework in advance.

This made him quite satisfied with Su Xue’Er.

He did not fear a tiger-like opponent, but was afraid of a pig-like teammate.

Throughout history, many heroes were ruined by those closest to them.

Half an hour later.

Shen Xuan exhaled deeply.

Su Xue’Er tiredly wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead.

"Resign from the Clan Affairs Hall position, and focus on managing Rain Listening Pavilion."

"If you have any requests, just bring them up!"

Shen Xuan said.

Su Xue’Er was overjoyed, smiling like a flower.

Her hard work for the night was not in vain.

"I have a younger brother, a Water Spirit Root."

"Although it’s a low-grade spirit root, his Spiritual Energy Perception is eighteen points."

"Can Talisman Master Shen teach him talisman making?"

Su Xue’Er cautiously asked, her eyes always watching Shen Xuan’s expression.

"How old is he? What is his cultivation realm? What’s his temperament like?"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s inquiry, Su Xue’Er realized there was hope, and quickly responded softly.

"Fifteen, at Qi Cultivation level two, honest and simple in nature, never causes trouble."

"Bring me to see him tomorrow. Talisman making requires talent."

Su Xue’Er caught the underlying meaning in Shen Xuan’s words, and was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Talisman Master Shen!"

Shen Xuan smiled: "Is thanking me orally all that you’ll do?"

Su Xue’Er blushed slightly: "I’ll serve you well."

...

The next day.

Su Xue’Er took Shen Xuan to her home.

As it turned out, Su Xue’Er’s parents had passed away early.

She had started working early to earn Spirit Stones, raising her sister Su Yu’Er and brother Su Keping.

Shen Xuan tested Su Keping’s talisman making skills on the spot.

For the simplest Breath Concealment Talisman, he failed seven times in a row.

Seeing the disappointed eyes of his two sisters, Su Keping became even more flustered.

The next five also all failed.

He wanted to try making more talismans.

But was stopped by Shen Xuan.

"That’s enough!"

"Talisman Master Shen, my brother is a bit nervous, before..."

"No need to say more."

Shen Xuan gently waved his hand.

"Su Keping does have some talent for talisman making. I can teach him."

Hearing this, Su Xue’Er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside her, her sister Su Yu’Er gave her brother Su Keping a sharp look.

With an expression of hatred for failing to live up to expectations.

Returning to Rain Listening Pavilion.

Shen Xuan took out the Jade Scroll for talisman making that he had previously used to teach Zhu Yingying and Xia Muqing, and handed it to Su Xue’Er.

"Have him practice according to what’s on here."

Afterward, he took out a middle-grade Spirit Stone.

"Buy a good quality Talisman Brush, and the Talisman Paper and Cinnabar should also be genuine."

Earlier, Su Keping’s Talisman Brush, Talisman Paper, and Cinnabar were all of poor quality.

This also limited Su Keping’s performance.

Su Xue’Er looked at the middle-grade Spirit Stone in Shen Xuan’s hand, seeming a bit embarrassed.

"Take it!"

Shen Xuan stuffed it into Su Xue’Er’s hand.

He was always generous to those around him.

"Thank you, Talisman Master Shen."

"Still calling me Talisman Master Shen?"

"Husband..."

Su Xue’Er shyly and timidly said, "Xue’Er will serve the husband well."

"Hmm, tonight, your husband wants to try..."

Su Xue’Er’s ears turned red at the words.

Her delicate head nodded slightly.

No matter what, as long as her husband was happy.

Shen Xuan smiled and patted Su Xue’s pert bottom.

"In the future, you have to manage the Rain Listening Pavilion by yourself, can you handle it?"

"I can handle it! I will manage the Rain Listening Pavilion in an orderly manner!"

Su Xue’Er, with quite a bit of cunning, took the initiative to offer herself, after thorough consideration.

Shen Xuan’s handsome and ethereal appearance had already captivated her heart.

Becoming Shen Xuan’s concubine was an excellent opportunity for her.

"Go and do your work! Didn’t you say you were very capable?"

"I am very capable!"

Su Xue’Er quietly argued a bit, then happily went off to work.

Watching the light and graceful silhouette of the young girl, Shen Xuan felt cheerful.

Indeed very capable.

This reminded him of a famous saying from his past life.

If there’s work, the secretary does it; if there’s no work, do the secretary.

Su Xue’Er handled multiple roles, much like a personal secretary in his past life.

"Only eighteen, and already so clever, she needs good training!"

Su Xue’Er was a Wood Cultivator, her cultivation technique kept her youthful, exuding a youthful aura.

Moreover, she handled chores adeptly in the Su Clan’s Clan Affairs Hall.

...

In the following days, Shen Xuan became busy.

He went to Cyan Yang Market and purchased several sets of Array Flag Plates.

He arranged arrays at the Rain Listening Pavilion and worked on its renovation.

In addition, he also opened up some Spiritual Land to plant spirit woods and spirit plants.

He personally attended to all these tasks.

Su Xue’Er was only at the second layer of Qi Cultivation, so she could only assist and was unable to undertake much responsibility.

Despite this, Su Xue’Er was full of energy.

At night, she served Shen Xuan, and tired herself to the point of fatigue and weakness.

Upon waking in the morning, she quickly recovered, following Shen Xuan in renovating the Rain Listening Pavilion.

At this time, Su Xue’Er’s pretty face radiated with a happy smile.

She was full of hope for the future life.

A Tier Two Dojo she had dreamed of, a handsome Foundation Establishment Realm husband, and an inexhaustible supply of Spirit Stones to nurture and care for her younger siblings.

When resigning from her post in the Clan Affairs Hall, Su Xue’Er clearly sensed the clan steward’s respect for her.

Speaking with smiles all over, asking her to look after them in the future.

It was not like this before.

They treated her completely as a servant, ordering her around.

The sisters of her age didn’t say anything, but their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

This made Su Xue’Er very proud.

Not only that.

Even the patriarch of the Su Clan personally talked to her.

Asking her to serve Shen Xuan well, promising to take good care of her younger siblings.

It was only then.

Su Xue’Er realized how important that major decision was for her life.

...

A month later, the array setup, Cave Mansion renovation, and Spirit Field cultivation at the Rain Listening Pavilion were nearly complete.

Su Xue’Er was exhausted.

At night when it was time to serve in bed, she even tried to find an excuse to slack off.

This made Shen Xuan very dissatisfied.

He gave her a harsh lesson.

That night, the lights remained bright.

The soft bed in the bedroom kept shaking nonstop.

Even until dawn, it continued the "creaking" motion.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, very rhythmic.

"Husband, I really can’t go on anymore..."

"Didn’t you say you were very capable?"

"I didn’t expect the husband to be so formidable..."

Her coquettish voice was full of temptation, which not only didn’t stop Shen Xuan, but made him increase his efforts and pace.

Shen Xuan had made up his mind.

Tonight, he would teach Su Xue’Er thoroughly all through the night.

To let her understand.

Why the flowers are so red!
