One hour later.
Lan MengâEr slowly opened her eyes, already exuding a hint of Dao Realm aura.
"My husband..."
She immediately threw herself into Chen Xuanâs arms, offering her fragrant kiss, "Thank you, my husband!"
All along, though she never said it, being at the bottom in terms of strength was her heartâs ailment.
If not for Chen Xuanâs Nine Elements Dao Skill helping her improve, the Profound Realm would have been a lifelong impossibility for her.
Unexpectedly, she was now close to a Realm Breakthrough Dao Realm.
"Happy now?"
Chen Xuan laughed.
"Mm!"
Lan MengâEr nodded excitedly, "Very happy!"
At this moment, Gu Pengyou and Ning Immortal, along with Xian Si, remained uncovered, their aura continuously ascending, seemingly ready for a breakthrough.
"I want!"
"Alright!"
....
Until noon the next day, Ning Immortal, Gu Pengyou, and Xian Si successively achieved breakthroughs.
"Sister... What is this thing? So powerful?"
Gu Pengyouâs eyes shone with excitement.
Just one drop made her breakthrough; what exactly was this diluted treasure?
"Seems like something very ancient."
Ning Immortal could sense the energy contained within, but couldnât specify the details.
Xian Si also nodded in agreement with her words.
Moreover, she speculated in her heart that it seemed to be something from ancient times.
"Wonder if my husband still has more? This feeling is truly addictive."
Gu Pengyou murmured, the feeling was truly too comfortable.
It not only enhanced strength but even made her feel younger.
"Sister..."
At that moment, Lan MengâEr walked in beaming, "Congratulations, Sister!"
"But remember to get dressed properly, careful not to catch a cold?"
She wore a mischievous smile, even reaching her hand out.
"Iâm done for!"
Ning Immortal slapped her hand away, "Shameless!"
"Haha... Sisterâs skin is so good, smooth and tender, most importantly plump, no wonder my husband likes it!"
Lan MengâEr laughed hard.
"You... Iâll scratch you to death..."
"Ah..."
"Spare me, Sister!"
...
Watching the two being playful, Gu Pengyou and Xian Si observed the commotion while dressing up, and after getting dressed neatly, they pulled the two apart.
"Alright, look at you two, what do you look like?"
"And you, MengâEr, revealing too much!"
Gu Pengyou sized her up.
"Humph!"
Lan MengâEr raised her head, "Whatever, nothing I havenât seen!"
"By the way, where is my husband?"
Talking about Chen Xuan, she got serious, starting to straighten her clothes, "He got up early and probably headed to Sister XinâErâs place."
"Oh dear!"
Lan MengâEr suddenly screamed, "The kitchen fire is still burning, donât ruin the soup Iâve worked hard to stew."
With that, she hurriedly ran out.
"Hey!"
Gu Pengyou sighed, while at this time Ning Immortal also dressed up, "Letâs go make a few signature dishes too."
...
Ning Xinâs place.
Chen Xuan dispersed the raindrops of Primordial Spirit Wood, turning them into light green mist, slowly absorbed into the bodies of two women.
All morning.
Chen Xuan consumed a total of four drops, but the effects were remarkable, with the two women nearly reaching their limits.
"Todayâs breakthrough should be possible, right?"
Suddenly!
The peculiar state between the two women appeared again.
What followed was their aura rapidly ascending.
"Truly amazing!"
Even Chen Xuan couldnât help but marvel, like Unity, but not entirely, yet together in cultivation they frequently entered this state.
If Chen Xuan had to choose, this possibility might be better.
Progressively advancing, it allows the realm to become steadier.
Then Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, starting to cultivate near the two women.
He felt it was highly likely they might breakthrough today!
...
In the Imperial City, Zhan Tian turned his back to the Imperial Palace, with a puzzled look on his face.
Today he brought Liu Shengâs petition to present to Emperor Yu, yet Emperor Yu was in seclusion.
And it happened just yesterday!
"Coincidence?"
Zhan Tian murmured, if he really had to go into seclusion, he should have done it last time when returning from the Hidden Forest Abyss.
But after pondering for a moment, he felt it wasnât a coincidence.
"Forget it, not thinking about it."
Then he got on the carriage, "Heading to the Ritual Department."
"Yes, Elder Zhan!"
The carriage slowly drove, Zhan Tian closed his eyes, no longer pondering these matters, leaving them to Liu Sheng.
After about an hour, Zhan Tian arrived at Liu Shengâs place.
"Has Your Majesty secluded himself?"
Upon hearing this news, Liu Sheng was also greatly surprised.
"Yes!"
"Todayâs chief eunuch said it, yesterday His Majesty summoned Duke Qin, then announced seclusion, and no matter what, no one is allowed to disturb him!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng frowned deeply.
Could it be too coincidental?
"Do you think itâs a coincidence?"
Seeing his expression, Zhan Tian guessed and since only two people were here, he spoke without reservation.
"Seal off outside!"
"You..."
Zhan Tian was stunned, Spiritual Power immediately shrouded the room, then he carefully checked the entire room.
Moments later, he shook his head at Liu Sheng.
But such results made Liu Sheng even more certain in his mind, absolutely their conversation reached Emperor Yuâs ears.
Coincidence?
Rubbish! Break his mind and he wouldnât believe such coincidence exists.
"Who could it be then?"
Liu Sheng frowned deeply, where usually almost no one would come.
Moreover, yesterday... aside from Chen Xuan and Zhan Tian, she..., the maid who served him all the time.
Also Kang Bai came, but left shortly afterward.
"Canât be Kang Bai!"
Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart, if it was really the maid, it would be terrifying.
He hadnât ignored this maid, yet over such a long time found no problems, normally besides serving him, couldnât detect any abnormalities.
The key was she was carefully chosen by Kang Bai.
He wasnât suspicious of Kang Bai, then it would be frightening.
