Since today is the weekend, none of the girls had to go to work. After breakfast, they each went off to do their own activities.
Su Chen, after wandering around for a while with nothing much to do, decided to head to the foot of the back mountain to practice "Thousand Hand Seal" and "Wind Shadow Step".
After all, apart from comprehension, sometimes martial techniques or divine skills require practice, which might lead to more insights!
Passing by the front yard, he heard the sound of a TV from inside, so he casually went in.
A woman in tight pants and a sports bra was sitting inside doing stretching exercises, showing off her graceful curves perfectly!
Luo Xiwen heard footsteps and turned her head, seeing it was Su Chen, she continued her practice!
Besides, apart from the weekends, she often practices whenever she can, and he's already seen it countless times!
Anyway, it's just yoga; if he watches, he watches, it's no big deal!
A few minutes later, Luo Xiwen took a short break, and Su Chen chatted with her for a bit before she resumed her practice and he left...
Soon, a figure appeared at the foot of the mountain. Like a phantom, it darted between the trees, almost impossible to catch sight of!
About an hour later, Su Chen, with a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, sat down on a patch of grass!
"Seems Wind Shadow Step isn't that easy to advance further."
Su Chen muttered to himself, but he wasn't too disappointed as this was expected.
After all, the "Wind Shadow Step" isn't just any martial technique; it's a divine skill, naturally not easy!
Of course, for him currently, mastering the basics of the "Wind Shadow Step" is sufficient, given that moving two hundred meters in a breath is nearly instant within a certain space!
Afterward, Su Chen began practicing the "Thousand Hand Seal", with palm prints continuously appearing in the void and then blasting out, causing the space to tremble and the air to surge!
After a while, Su Chen was satisfied and stopped!
Although he can now only release five palm prints with one strike, his mastery of the "Thousand Hand Seal" is becoming more skilled, allowing him to change it at will!
Returning to the mountain villa, the women there were all engaged in various activities, with a few preparing lunch.
Having picked up quite a bit of dust at the foot of the mountain, he took a shower first.
Soon, lunch was ready, and everyone sat down to eat together.
After lunch, Su Chen returned to his room to continue his cultivation...
Not long after, his phone started ringing. Seeing the number, it was Qin Nishang calling, so he picked up.
Over this period, he and Qin Nishang had met a few times, becoming more familiar with each other than before.
"Miss Qin, haven't seen you for a while, missing me already?"
Undoubtedly, Su Chen's old habit surfaced, teasing Qin Nishang a bit as soon as he spoke.
"Yes, so I'd like to invite Mr. Su to Tianxiang Villa for a chat. Do you have time?"
Over the phone, Qin Nishang, understanding more of Su Chen's personality now, laughed off his banter.
"With such a pretty invitation, how could I not make time!"
Su Chen laughed and said:
"I'll be there soon."
"Then I'll be waiting."
With that, Qin Nishang hung up the phone.
Su Chen then paused his cultivation and drove to Tianxiang Villa.
Reaching the villa halfway up the hill that belonged to Qin Nishang, he walked right in, as he no longer needed to announce his presence here.
Mu Yu saw him but wasn't surprised, secretly thinking to herself: For origΔ±nal chapters go to π―π°π·π¦πβ’πππ§πβ’πππ₯
Could Miss really have taken a liking to this man?!
Of course, whether it's true or not, it's Miss's private business, not something her maid should comment on!
When Su Chen entered Qin Nishang's room, she was sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine in hand.
Seeing Su Chen come in, she personally poured him a glass, and he casually took a sip.
"By the way, was there something you wanted to talk to me about?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
"Can't I just call you over even if there's nothing in particular?"
Qin Nishang gave Su Chen a sidelong glance and smiled.
"Of course, I'd be more than happy!"
Su Chen chuckled lightly.
"But today I do have something to discuss with you."
Qin Nishang then laughed and said, looking at him:
"Have you ever heard of the Dark Forest, Mr. Su?"
"The Dark Forest? What's that place?"
Su Chen asked with a slight frown, feeling unfamiliar with the name as he hadn't heard of it before.
"It's normal for you not to know, Mr. Su. The Dark Forest is a forest over in Liaodong, usually concealed by formations and unknown to most. In the Ancient Martial World, only top-notch forces are aware of it."
Qin Nishang explained:
"I'm planning to go there in a couple of days and was wondering if you'd be interested in joining me?"
"Why are you going there?"
Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Well, the Dark Forest is full of demon beasts. It's become a training ground for the younger generation of top-tier forces. It offers the opportunity to obtain demon cores while providing training, and sometimes you can even find some spirit fruits and other treasures!"
Qin Nishang continued:
"A few days ago, I received news from my family that the formation has been activated."
Su Chen was quite shocked upon hearing this, surprised that the Dark Forest Qin Nishang mentioned was a place teeming with demon beasts!
"If that's the case, why don't the top-notch experts from those forces, like those in the Condensation Pill Realm, go there? I believe demon cores still have an appeal to them."
Su Chen asked curiously.
"You're right, but it's rare to have such a good place for the younger generation to train, so everyone agreed to use it for nurturing young talents only!"
Qin Nishang smiled and said:
"We can't just drain the pond for fish, can we? After all, young people are the future!"
"Moreover, the level of the demon beasts there isn't very high, so while it's still attractive to masters above the Condensation Pill Realm, it's not as significant as imagined!"
"That makes some sense."
Su Chen nodded, recognizing the insight of those top-tier forces!
"Is that place only known to top-tier forces?"
Su Chen casually asked.
"Yes, but perhaps a few first-class forces know of it as well, though non-top-tier forces would be repelled upon entering!"
Qin Nishang laughed and said:
"That's why I'm inviting you to go with me!"
"Then I'll be counting on Miss Qin's protection!"
Su Chen smiled upon hearing this.
He was quite interested in the Dark Forest, at least it would be a good chance to hone his combat skills!
