Chapter 91
Yang Chen didn’t refuse, looking at her as he spoke: “I happen to lack a maidservant, how about it?”
“Maid … servant?”
Xu Qingxuan froze.
She originally thought the Holy Son would directly take her as a concubine.
After all, she had awoken the Ice Phoenix bloodline too.
With future prospects of becoming an Immortal.
The number one beauty in the Liyang Kingdom.
With countless suitors.
“What, you’re unwilling?”
“Ah! No, no! To be able to follow the Holy Son, even as a maidservant, Qingxuan is willing!” Xu Qingxuan hurriedly said.
A maidservant then, so be it.
With her beauty and talents, she would be promoted eventually.
Moreover, the Holy Son had several concubines, but it seemed she was the only maidservant.
An advantage of sorts.
At least she could constantly attend to the Holy Son.
Incidentally absorbing his draconic aura to accelerate her own cultivation.
“Qingxuan, has my wife emerged from secluded meditation recently?” Thinking of Leng Yuxia, Yang Chen asked.
Hearing the Holy Son address her so intimately as Qingxuan, her heart raced as she replied: “Holy Son, Senior Leng has not emerged yet! Previously there were strong fluctuations of true qi from Senior Leng’s secluded meditation chamber! She should be breaking through a realm!”
Yang Chen nodded.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator to breakthrough realms, it took considerable time. Could be months or even years.
After all, Nascent Soul cultivators lived for over a millennium.
Cases like his were ultimately rare.
Sensing Li Hao’s formation was about to dissipate, Yang Chen said: “Qingxuan, if there’s nothing else, you can take your leave! I’ll also be secluding myself for a period! Right, explain things to Hao’er, that I only helped guide your cultivation. Nothing happened between us, don’t let him misunderstand! You are his fiance after all, and I’m his stepfather. We are completely upright!”
Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan’s cheeks flushed red.
Coming from the Holy Son’s mouth, those words sounded rather odd.
Could it be … the Holy Son enjoyed this sort of rhetoric?
“Yes, Qingxuan understands!”
Xu Qingxuan bowed and exited Yang Chen’s room.
Outside, the formation on Li Hao had gradually dissipated.
Seeing Xu Qingxuan emerge from Yang Chen’s room, he angrily shouted: “Qingxuan, why did you do this? That cultivation method, I was the one who gave it to you! Are you that shameless to go find that bastard Yang Chen to practice it? You are my fiancée! You should be cultivating it together with me!”
Li Hao’s voice dripped with resentment and jealousy.
Recalling that half-hour period, his heart felt like it was being sliced.
His fiancée.
Together with that bastard Yang Chen.
Cultivating the method he gifted.
Alone in that room for over half an hour.
Damnit!
In that half-hour, he climaxed at least five times!*
[“半个时辰” (bàn gè shíchén): This phrase literally means “half an hour”. “半个” (bàn gè) means “half”, “时辰” (shíchén) is an old Chinese unit of time equivalent to two hours, so “半个时辰” is half of two hours, or one hour.]
Xu Qingxuan coldly retorted: “Li Hao, you are the shameless one! Watch your mouth! If you weren’t the Holy Son’s stepson, this lady would have struck you with two swords, crippling you from leaving the State Preceptor’s manor!”
Xu Qingxuan had now reached the 9th stage of Foundation Establishment realm.
Her aura was more domineering, exuding a cold arrogance.
Looking at Li Hao, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
Walking up to Li Hao, she said coldly: “Li Hao, hand over the marriage contract, our engagement is completely nullified!”
“Marriage contract?”
“Hmph!”
Li Hao gave a cold hmph, his expression gloomy.
“You want me to hand over the contract, to completely sever ties with me, so you can throw yourself into that bastard Yang Chen’s embrace! Dream on! I refuse! You are still my fiancée currently! As long as I’m not dead, you cannot break free from this bond!”
Li Hao’s expression gradually twisted.
A sliver of vindictive pleasure surfaced in his heart.
Inside the room, Yang Chen heard Li Hao’s words.
His expression turned intrigued.
Hao’er ah Hao’er.
You truly don’t disappoint as your father’s good son.
If you two break off the engagement, it would really lose a lot of flavor.
Since you enjoy playing the cuckold, your father shall oblige!
***
After the two left, Yang Chen began secluded cultivation.
During this period, having reaped Ye Yun and then Li Hao, he accumulated quite a few VPs that needed digesting. He set up an isolation formation outside his room.
To prevent his aura from leaking out.
Yang Chen sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform.
An illusory golden dragon coiling around him.
Dragon roars resounding continuously.
Interlaced with surging, overbearing pressure.
Without the isolation formation, just the overwhelming pressure from these dragon roars alone could plunge Liyang City back into panic.
Yang Chen looked inwards.
His originally crimson blood now tinged with a faint golden hue.
The Divine Dragon Spine had fully integrated with his body.
His blood starting to transform.
However, being a relatively short time since integrating the spine, the golden tint was still quite light.
But as time passed, this golden color would only deepen.
The power contained within his blood would grow stronger too.
The Dragon Race, with their tremendously powerful bloodline and physiques, was precisely why they became the demon tribe’s sovereigns.
The bloodlines of Primordial Divine Dragons were even more far superior to ordinary dragons.
Yang Chen’s fleshly body had greatly improved.
Previously, after refining the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, his flesh was around the Condensed Primordial Pill realm’s peak.
Now, fusing with the Divine Dragon Spine,
His fleshly power was at least at the mid Nascent Soul stage.
In other words, without using true qi, his flesh alone could suppress mid Nascent Soul cultivators.
As the golden hue in his blood deepened, his fleshly power would continue elevating.
Yang Chen concentrated, examining the Divine Dragon Spine.
His expression froze.
For he discovered numerous text and patterns had appeared on the spine.
The text was ancient and vigorous!
The patterns exuding profound Dao principles!
As if the great Dao of heavens and earth were engraved!
“The Dragon Spine contains a Primordial Divine Dragon’s most essence! Dragon inheritances focus on bloodlines and dragon bones! These texts and patterns must be the Primordial Divine Dragon’s inheritance! An unexpected bonus!”
Yang Chen’s expression turned excited as he immediately began comprehending them.
Naturally using his VPs made his comprehension extremely rapid.
Yet even so, this secluded cultivation lasted a full half year.
When Yang Chen opened his eyes again, a golden dragon illusory image flashed in them. His aura had clearly reached the 8th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
More satisfying was his advancement.
From the inheritance comprehended on the Dragon Spine – The Divine Dragon Defying Heaven Technique!
The complete technique of the Primordial Divine Dragons.
After half a year’s comprehension, Yang Chen had embarked on the path of Body Cultivation.
It was said in ancient times, Body Cultivation was very common.
But numbers had dwindled sharply later.
