Chapter 681 How About Another Child?
After his cultivation session with Lian Li ended, Su Yang left her in the room to rest.
"Oh? Where did you go?" Wu Jingjing, who had just gotten out of the bath, asked him, completely unaware that Lian Li had come to their house, as she had been unconscious until just very recently and Su Yang didn't mention anything to her.
"Cultivating," Su Yang responded with a smile on his face.
"Hm? You had a breakthrough? Congratulations!" Wu Jingjing noticed that he'd entered the 8th level Heavenly Spirit Realm.
He nodded, and then he continued, "By the way, regarding our little bet, we never decided on what the winner receives."
"Oh, right. You have until the end of today to conquer Her Highness." Wu Jingjing recalled their little bet, and she said, "Are you sure you want to do it? Even though she tried to poison you— or rather, she did…"
Su Yang smiled and said, "I have slept with women who have done far worse to me, a little non-lethal poison isn't going to stop me from cultivating with them. Though, that is not to say I don't have a line. It's just that I am slightly more tolerant when it comes to beauties."
"Is that so…"
Wu Jingjing looked at him with a dumbfounded gaze before speaking in a bashful voice, "Anyway, I don't know about the rewards, since I already belong to you, and I am willing to do anything for you even without the bet."
Hearing her words, Su Yang showed a mysterious smile on his face.
"How about another child?" he said in a calm voice.
"Eh?" Wu Jingjing stared at him with wide eyes filled with shock. Did she hear him properly?
"Hahaha!" Su Yang suddenly burst out laughing after seeing her reaction, and he said afterward, "I'm just joking with you. You are right. There's no need for any rewards."
"Anyway, I am going to take a bath." Su Yang said as he walked away without turning around.
"..." Wu Jingjing continued standing there with a dazed look on her face, seemingly in deep thoughts.
A few moments later, Wu Jingjing was snapped out of her daze when Wu Min began crying in the other room.
Wu Jingjing then went to pick up Wu Min and changed her diapers before feeding her breast milk in the living room.
Sometime later, as Wu Jingjing was feeding Wu Min, one of the doors opened, causing Wu Jingjing to turn her head.
"Huh?" Wu Jingjing's eyes widened with shock when she saw Lian Li walk out from one of the guest rooms while looking slightly drunk.
"Y-Your Highness…?" Wu Jingjing instinctively called out to her in a stupified voice.
"Wu Jingjing…?" Lian Li looked at Wu Jingjing without any reaction since she already knew about Wu Jingjing's presence.
Wu Jingjing, on the other hand, was confused as to why Lian Li was inside her home and even one of her guest rooms. However, right as she opened her mouth to ask Lian Li, she noticed Lian Li's messy and sweaty appearance, looking like she'd just finished some intense physical training.
"You… You… D-Did you cultivate with Su Yang?" Wu Jingjing decided to ask her for confirmation.
"Yes, I did." Lian Li responded without hesitation.
Wu Jingjing's jaw dropped after hearing Lian Li's simple but shocking answer. Su Yang actually managed to conquer the Lian Family's princess within two days since their first meeting, not even mentioning the things that have happened between them! How does he do it? His talents in seducing women are comparable to his sword skills if not even stronger!
After a moment of silence, Lian Li walked to sit near Wu Jingjing before speaking, "Wu Jingjing, if you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to bear his child?"
"Uhh…"
After pondering for a moment, Wu Jingjing spoke, "Initially, I only wanted a talented child at first, and with Su Yang's sword talents, he was more than qualified to be the father. However, after I cultivated with him, I started to want more than just his child— I wanted him, too. And this feeling would only grow stronger after I gave birth to Wu Min."
"Is that so…" Lian Li mumbled in a low voice.
"Hm? So you two finally met, huh?" Su Yang suddenly appeared with a refreshed appearance and a handsome smile on his face.
"You! Why didn't you tell me about Her Highness just now?" Wu Jingjing immediately complained to him.
"Because I thought it would be more fun if you found out yourself," he quickly responded.
"Unbelievable…" Wu Jingjing shook her head at him.
"Anyway, I should head back to the Four Seasons Academy now to prepare for our meeting with Emperor Lian," Su Yang said to her. "Do you want to come with me, or do you want to stay here for now?"
"Since Emperor Lian only agreed to meet with you and the Xie Family, I will stay here for now." Wu Jingjing said to him. "And I would like Wu Min to spend some more time with my father before we leave for good."
Su Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I will return to pick you two up when we are ready to leave."
Lian Li raised her eyebrows after listening to their conversation, as it sounded like they were going somewhere far away.
Su Yang then turned to look at Lian Li.
"You are coming right?" he asked her.
"Y-Yes…" she quickly nodded.
Su Yang and Lian Li left the house shortly later, but before Su Yang walked out of the door, Wu Jingjing suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her.
After a passionate kiss on his lips, Wu Jingjing mumbled to him in a spine-tingling voice, "If you really want another child, I will gladly bear as many as you want, Su Yang…"
Su Yang looked at her with a dazed face for a moment before speaking with a bright smile on his handsome face, "I won't be humble then."
Chapter 682 Conquering Holy Central Continent"s Top 3 Beauties
After leaving Wu Jingjing's house and the Holy Sword Academy, Su Yang returned to the Four Seasons Academy with Lian Li on his flying boat.
Once they returned to the Sect, Su Yang went straight to Zhu Mengyi's living quarters and knocked on the door.
"Su Yang! Welcome back—" Zhu Mengyi opened the door to greet Su Yang with Zhu Jiayi in her arms, but her words were cut short when she noticed the peerless beauty standing beside him.
"Y-Y-Y-Your Highness?!" Zhu Mengyi cried out loud, nearly dropping Zhu Jiayi from shock. "What are you doing here?! And with Su Yang?!"
"Let's talk inside," Su Yang said to her with a calm smile on his face.
"O-Okay…" Zhu Mengyi nodded.
Sometime later, the three of them sat down in the living room.
"W-Would you like some tea, Your Highness…?" Zhu Mengyi asked her in a nervous tone, as she wasn't prepared for Lian Li's presence.
"There's no need to be so humble, Mengyi. After all, you're both my woman," Su Yang said to her.
"E-Excuse me…?" Zhu Mengyi looked at him and then Lian Li with her eyes as wide as saucers.
"Wait a second, you're also his partner?" Lian Li was also surprised to hear this. Then she looked at the beautiful little girl in Zhu Mengyi's embrace and continued, "D-Don't tell me that's also…"
"That's right. She's also my daughter." Su Yang spoke in a prideful voice.
"Unbelievable… Not only did you manage to impregnate Master Wu's daughter but you also impregnated Senior Zhu's daughter, Zhu Mengyi? How many more women out there had been impregnated by you?" Lian Li looked at him with a look of disbelief. How did a single man conquer the top 3 beauties in the Holy Central Continent by himself? Calling it a miracle would be an understatement!
"As expected of you, Su Yang… Even the princess cannot resist your charms…" Zhu Mengyi said as she looked at him with admiration.
"..."
Lian Li narrowed her eyes at Zhu Mengyi, but there was nothing she could say, as it was true that both her heart and body had been conquered by Su Yang.
"Oh, right. Su Yang, I have a favor to ask of you. I tried speaking to my mother, but she's not happy about me leaving with Zhu Jiayi, and I didn't dare to tell her your real background without your permission so can you speak with her for me?" Zhu Mengyi suddenly said to him.
Su Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I can speak with her before I speak with the Xie Family."
"I will be back," Su Yang then left the building, leaving Zhu Mengyi and Lian Li alone.
"..."
"..."
"..."
After a long moment of awkward silence, Lian Li suddenly spoke, "Can you tell me about your relationship with Su Yang?"
Zhu Mengyi nodded, and she proceeded to give Lian Li a brief explanation of her meeting with Su Yang and how they ended up giving birth to Zhu Jiayi.
"I see…" Lian Li mumbled after listening to Zhu Mengyi's story, and she asked a moment later, "Then can you tell me about Su Yang's real background?"
"That's…" Zhu Mengyi immediately hesitated. Even though Lian Li was the princess and also Su Yang's woman, she didn't dare to reveal his real background.
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I cannot tell you about his background. And I think it would be better if you asked Su Yang since it would mean a lot more if you heard it from him. I'm also confident that he wouldn't say no."
"..."
Lian Li turned silent. Just what kind of background does Su Yang have that even Zhu Mengyi wouldn't dare to reveal?
"I understand. I'm sorry if I'd put you in an awkward spot just now." Lian Li said to her a moment later.
'Huh? Is it just me or does Her Highness feel a little different than before? It's almost like she's less overbearing and hard to approach…' Zhu Mengyi wondered inwardly.
Meanwhile, Su Yang just reached Sect Master Zhu's room.
"Su Yang, huh. I'm guessing Zhu Mengyi asked you to speak with me," she sighed after seeing him.
"That's right. You want to know where she'll be going, right?" Su Yang said.
"No, I wanted her to tell me the truth, as it was clear that she was hiding something from me."
"Then allow me to tell you in her stead, as this is related to me in the first place."
Su Yang took a deep but calm breath before continuing, "As you know, I am from the Eastern Continent. However, that is not entirely true, as I came from another place before arriving at the Eastern Continent."
"What do you mean by that?" Sect Master Zhu raised her eyebrows.
"What I am trying to say is— I am actually a Cultivator who came from another world that exists somewhere within the starry sky, and the reason why Zhu Mengyi might not be able to visit you in the future is because it might be impossible to return to this world once we leave."
"You… what?!"
Sect Master Zhu immediately stood up with a shocked face.
"That's right. There exist other worlds in this endless universe. If you want a simpler term, then one can say that I have come from a 'higher realm'."
Su Yang then continued, "Sit down and I'll tell you more about it."
Sect Master Zhu nodded in a dazed manner before sitting down in a falling motion.
Seeing this, Su Yang chuckled, and he began telling her about the existence of the Four Divine Heavens and even Immortal Fairy Su Yue's real identity and their real relationship.
Many minutes later.
"Good heavens! No wonder why Immortal Fairy Su Yue is so powerful! It turns out that she actually came from another world where the Cultivation world is much more advanced than this place! It all makes sense now!" Sect Master Zhu exclaimed, feeling chills all over her body after learning about the Divine Heavens.
Chapter 683 Sect Master Zhu"s Decision
After taking some time to digest the information, Sect Master Zhu looked at Su Yang with a serious expression, and she asked him, "You… You plan on taking Zhu Mengyi and Zhu Jiayi to the Divine Heavens, right?"
"That's right," he nodded.
"A world that's thousands of times larger than this world… that also means that it's thousands of times more dangerous, right?"
"That's right." Su Yang said, not sugarcoating his words.
"Will you be able to protect them?" Sect Master Zhu continued in a clear voice.
"I will tell you exactly what I told Wu Jiang— I will protect them even at the cost of my life."
"Wu Jiang? That old fart? What did he say?"
"Just like you, he was unwilling to let her go at first, but he eventually decided to give up and let her leave with me."
"I see…" Sect Master Zhu closed her eyes and rubbed them for a good moment before speaking, "If that old fart could let his daughter go…"
"Haaaa…" After a long sigh, she continued, "You can tell that girl that she can do whatever she wants— I will no longer interfere with her decisions. In fact, she became an independent woman when she gave birth to Zhu Jiayi, and I have no right to keep her here for my own selfishness."
Su Yang nodded, and then he said, "Since I am taking away Zhu Mengyi and Zhu Jiayi from you, it's only fair that I give you something in return."
After a moment of silence, he continued: "The Soul Divination Pill. I'll teach you how to concoct it."
"REALLY?!" Sect Master Zhu immediately stood up and shouted after hearing his words, her eyes wide from excitement.
"Yes. Get the ingredients for me, and I'll concoct it right in front of you. If you want, you can even let others watch." Su Yang said. "Try to gather the ingredients before I leave to meet Emperor Lian. I am going to speak with the Xie Family in the meantime. Once the preparations are complete, find me at Mengyi's living quarters."
"Right away!" Sect Master Zhu did not even wait for Su Yang to leave before rushing outside to prepare for the pill.
Su Yang left the place after her and went to the Xie Family's living quarters.
"Welcome back, Su Yang." Xie Xingfang greeted him at the door. "Are we leaving now?"
"No, I am just here to let you know that I have returned. We'll leave tomorrow morning, so be prepared by then."
"I'll let them know." Xie Xingfang nodded.
Su Yang returned to Mengyi's living quarters shortly later, and to his surprise, Lian Li and Zhu Mengyi were sitting beside each other on the couch, and Zhu Jiayi was sitting on Lian Li's lap.
"S-Su Yang?!" Lian Li immediately panicked after seeing his face, feeling embarrassed to be seen in this situation for some reason.
"Hoh. You didn't seem like the type to like children. What a surprise." Su Yang said with a teasing smile on his face after seeing her reaction.
"I...I…" Lian Li was speechless.
"Hahaha… Don't worry, I find women who can handle children quite charming."
"Really?" Zhu Mengyi looked at him with bright eyes.
"Why would I lie?" Su Yang said as he sat down beside them.
"Ahh! Aaah! Aaaaah!"
Zhu Jiayi suddenly began making noises while looking at Su Yang, even opening her arms wide for him.
"Hm? You want me to hold you?"
"H-Here you go…" Lian Li quickly passed Zhu Jiayi to Su Yang.
Once Zhu Jiayi was sitting on Su Yang's lap, she immediately stopped making noises.
"I don't know how, but I think she can somehow tell that you're her father…" Zhu Mengyi spoke with amazement written all over her face.
"Then she must be a genius," he chuckled.
"Of course. She's your daughter, after all." Zhu Mengyi said with a smile.
"..." Lian Li watched in silence as Su Yang played with Zhu Jiayi, and after watching them for many minutes, somewhere in her heart grew the desire to have children of her own.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Zhu just finished the preparations for the Soul Divination Pill and went to fetch Su Yang at Zhu Mengyi's living quarters.
"Su Yang! I have finished the preparations! You can conduct the pill whenever you are ready!" Sect Master Zhu shouted from outside of the house before anyone could even open the door, as she was simply that impatient to see the Soul Divination Pill being concocted properly.
The door opened a few moments later, but the person Sect Master Zhu was expecting to see did not appear, and to her surprise, someone else who she did not expect even in a million years greeted her at the door.
"Senior Zhu." Lian Li opened the door and greeted her.
"Y-Y-Y-Your Highness?!?!?!" Sect Master Zhu took a few steps back from shock and rubbed her eyes afterward, not daring to believe her eyes.
"W-W-What are you doing here?"
"Due to some circumstances, I am going to see my father with Su Yang," she said.
"Su Yang?" Sect Master Zhu swallowed nervously, as she cannot comprehend this bizarre situation.
"Are the preparations ready?" Su Yang appeared a moment later in a casual manner and asked her while Zhu Jiayi was still in his arms.
"Y-Yes…" Sect Master Zhu quickly nodded.
"What's happening? What is prepared?" Zhu Mengyi also appeared to ask with a curious look on her face.
"I am going to concoct the Soul Divination Pill for her," Su Yang said.
"The Soul Divination Pill!" Zhu Mengyi expressed surprise before asking with pure excitement in her voice, "Can I also watch?!"
"Of course."
Su Yang then looked at Lian Li and asked her, "Do you also want to come?"
"Yes," she quickly nodded.
The Soul Divination Pill is a mysterious pill that the Four Seasons Academy has been researching for many generations with her Lian Family's help, but they have not been able to replicate the pill successfully despite having the full recipe for the pill. If Su Yang can really concoct the pill, it will surely be a historical event for them.
Chapter 684 Is There Anything He Cannot Do?
After leaving Zhu Mengyi's living quarters, Sect Master Zhu brought Su Yang and the others to a mountain somewhere behind the Four Seasons Academy.
Once they reached the peak of this mountain, Su Yang could see a dozen elderlies wearing the Four Seasons Academy uniform, and they were standing around this luxurious pill cauldron.
"These are all the top Alchemists and sect elders I trust in the sect, and they'll be watching the process if you don't mind." Sect Master Zhu said to Su Yang after they arrived.
"I wouldn't mind even if you brought every disciple here," Su Yang said.
She nodded, and then she proceeded to introduce Su Yang to the sect elders: "This is Su Yang, and although he may have a very young appearance, don't let his appearance fool you, as his Alchemy skills are beyond what everyone here is capable of. Even if we all combined our talents and skills, we still won't be able to match him. Furthermore, he is also the one who gave us the full recipe for the Soul Divination Pill."
"Thank you for allowing us to witness history being made, Senior Su."
"Words cannot express my gratitude, Senior Su."
"Even though I have never seen it myself, I have heard great things about your alchemy skills, and I feel honored to be here today, Senior Su."
The sect elders all greeted him with sincere respect, as Sect Master Zhu had warned them about Su Yang's unfathomable background that surpasses even the Lian Family without telling them everything about him.
After greeting Su Yang, the sect elders bowed to Lian Li. Although her presence was definitely unexpected, they didn't think too much about it.
'Su Yang… he was the one who gave them the full recipe? Just who are you, really?' Lian Li wondered to herself.
"Here are all of the ingredients. We triple checked it so there shouldn't be any missing." Sect Master Zhu said to him as she pointed at the neatly organized ingredients piled beside each other by the pill cauldron.
Su Yang did not even look at the ingredients and merely took a deep breath before nodding his head, "Yes, all of the ingredients are here."
"..."
The alchemists were astonished by Su Yang's godlike sense of smell. Not even a dog would be able to do what he just did!
A few moments later, Su Yang stood in front of the pill cauldron.
After taking a deep breath, he waved his sleeves, causing the ingredients to all float in the air. However, he didn't immediately toss all of the ingredients into the pill cauldron as he normally would.
"Since this is a demonstration and I am trying to teach you how to concoct this pill, I will do this one step at a time and in a method that can be replicated— including the speed at which I concoct the pill at. However, I am only going to do this once, since this will take many hours, so if you miss it…" Su Yang said to them.
The sect elders nodded with a serious expression on their faces, feeling like they are back in their prime days when they were still trying to learn the basics of alchemy.
"For the first ingredient, I am going to put…"
Su Yang started the process a few moments later, and he began throwing one ingredient at a time into the pill cauldron whilst explaining to the sect elders what they should be doing for the best results.
And because none of these alchemists could possibly replicate Su Yang's ridiculous alchemy skills, nor do they have his alchemy flames control, Su Yang must lower his abilities and the speed he concocted the pill to their standards, which meant he was spending many minutes on a single ingredient when he would usually spend a few seconds after tossing in all of the ingredients at once.
One hour… two hours… three hours…
Many hours have passed since Su Yang began his lecture with the sky turning dark long ago.
"This is the last ingredient and also the most important step so watch carefully." Su Yang said as he began the final step.
And even though the sect elders have been standing there like statues for multiple hours without any breaks and barely blinking their eyes, none of them appeared to be tired. In fact, their gazes all emitted a profound aura that was filled with energy and excitement.
After another hour, Su Yang retrieved his alchemy flames before taking the Soul Divination Pill out of the pill cauldron and showing it to the sect elders.
"Ooooh! It's real! This is really the Soul Divination Pill!"
"I cannot believe my eyes! I didn't think I would live long enough to see the existence of a second Soul Divination Pill!"
"Hahahaha! I have witnessed history today! I have witnessed history!!!"
All of the sect elders began acting like a bunch of children when they confirmed that it was possible to concoct the Soul Divination Pill.
"C-Can I hold it…?" Sect Master Zhu suddenly asked him in a shaky voice.
"Yes, and since I have no use for it, you can keep it." Su Yang said as he handed the pill to her.
"Heavens… I have never seen such a beautiful— perfect pill in my life before…"
Tears flowed from Sect Master Zhu's eyes as she held the flawless-quality Soul Divination Pill with trembling hands, and she'd even dropped to her knees a moment later.
The Four Seasons Academy has studied the Soul Divination Pill for many generations since the sect's foundation, so it meant an immense deal to her and the sect elders who managed to witness and experience their ancestors' dreams.
'Unbelievable… He really concocted the Soul Divination Pill just like that…' Lian Li stared at Su Yang with a dazed look on her face. Just how can one be talented and experienced in so many fields at once?
'Swords… Dual Cultivation… and now Alchemy? Is there anything that he cannot do?' Lian Li wondered to herself as the sect elders continued to celebrate this wondrous occasion.
Chapter 685 Lian Family"s Ancestors
"Now that you know how to concoct the Soul Divination Pill, do you have any questions for me before I leave?" Su Yang asked them.
The sect elders nodded, and Su Yang proceeded to spend another hour answering all of their questions.
Once everything there calmed down, Sect Master Zhu said to Su Yang, "Once again, thank you for this."
Su Yang nodded and then turned to look at the morning sky. The Soul Divination Pill took him nearly the entire day to complete while using their alchemy methods.
"I am going to meet with Emperor Lian now," Su Yang said to Zhu Mengyi and Lian Li.
"You can stay here, and once I return, we will immediately head for the Eastern Continent."
"Okay." Zhu Mengyi nodded.
"Eastern Continent?" Lian Li looked at him with wide eyes. Why are they going there?
"Let's go," Su Yang said to Lian Li as he flew away and towards the Xie Family's living quarters.
Sometime later, they arrived at the location, and the Xie Family was already waiting for him outside.
"Su Yang—!"
Just as Xie Wang noticed Su Yang's approaching figure and opened his mouth to call out to Su Yang, he noticed the peerless beauty following Su Yang, and her beautiful appearance instantly made him speechless.
'Who is that beautiful fairy?! Her appearance rivals even Xing'er!' Xie Wang cried inwardly.
Even Lord Xie and Xie Xingfang were speechless when they saw the powerful aura surrounding Lian Li.
'A Sovereign Spirit Realm Cultivator! And she looks so young!' Lord Xie stared at her with a gawking expression.
'What is her relationship with Su Yang? And why do I sense such a familiar feeling coming from her?' Xie Xingfang thought to herself.
As a fellow princess of an entire continent and a member of the royal family, Xie Xingfang could feel a connection to Lian Li, who also has a similar background.
"Are you all ready to meet Emperor Lian?" Su Yang asked them after descending.
"Yes… but who is that? Is she coming along with us?" Xie Wang couldn't hold his curiosity and asked.
"Want to introduce yourself?" Su Yang asked Lian Li.
Lian Li then stepped forward and gave them an elegant and courteous bow, "Hello, my surname is Lian— Lian Li, and I am the eldest daughter of the Lian Family."
"The Lian Family?! Then you're Emperor Lian's…" Lord Xie looked at her with wide eyes. No wonder why she had such a familiar aura! She was actually royalty— just like them!
"These guys are from the Eastern Continent, and just like your Lian Family, they— the Xie Family is ruling over the continent."
"Xie Family…? I have heard of the Xie Family, but I never thought I would get the chance to meet you." Lian Li said.
"What? You know of us? How?" Lord Xie asked her with a surprised face.
"Our ancestors, they have been to the Eastern Continent before, and that's when they met with your ancestors." Lian Li said.
"Really?! How come we don't have any records of your visit?!" Xie Wang looked at her with clear disbelief on his face.
"I don't know, but we have records of a Xie Family." Lian Li said.
"Unbelievable… to think our ancestors have met with people from the Holy Central Continent and kept silent about it…" Lord Xie shook his head.
"What if they didn't know that they'd met with someone from the Holy Central Continent? That could be a possibility." Xie Xingfang said.
"That's very possible since my ancestors were described as 'lowkey'." Lian Li nodded her head.
"We can all sit down and talk about this after we meet with Emperor Lian," Su Yang said to them.
He then turned to look at Lian Li and asked her, "Where can we find your father?"
"There's no need for us to fly there; I have a treasure that can directly transport us there." Lian Li said as she retrieved a necklace from her storage ring.
Lian Li brought the necklace closer to her mouth and gave it a gentle kiss.
The necklace then glowed bright red before shattering into tiny particles and forming a portal in front of Lian Li.
"This will teleport us near my home," said Lian Li before she walked into it without hesitation, disappearing into the portal.
Su Yang followed her shortly later, and the Xie Family followed him.
Upon coming out of the portal, they found themselves standing a few meters away from a city.
"This is Pearl City, one of the largest cities on the continent and also where my family is located," Lian Li said after everyone came out of the portal.
As they approached the city, the guards quickly noticed their presence.
"Your Highness!"
Every guard on duty immediately ran to greet them, as did the people that were waiting in line, and they all lowered their heads towards Lian Li.
Lian Li expressed her acknowledgment with a mere nod before ignoring them and entering the city.
Half an hour later, they reached the very center of the city, where another city wall was built, which was used to isolate the Lian Family from the rest of the world despite existing inside one of the largest cities.
"Your Highness!" The guards standing by the gates were surprised when they saw Lian Li's beautiful figure, as they didn't receive any news that she would be returning at this time.
"Open the gates. We have visitors," Lian Li said to them.
The guards looked at Su Yang and the Xie Family.
"The Xie Family and Su Yang, right? His Majesty, Emperor Lian is expecting your presence." The guards said to them.
Once the gates were opened, Lian Li led Su Yang and the others to the other side of the walls, and it appeared as though they'd entered another world, as it was a completely different scenery and environment past the gates, looking like they'd actually left the city instead.
"Huh? This is inside the city?" Even Xie Wang was surprised by this sudden change of environment.
"Yes, we are still at the center of the city," Lian Li said, and she continued, "This place was specially made since the Lian Family doesn't interact with the outside world unless necessary. There are even spiritual beasts and wildlife running around in this space, and this place takes up about 70% of the city. It's like a small world of its own."
Chapter 686 Meeting Emperor Lian
"A world of its own inside a city? What a unique idea…" Lord Xie nodded with acknowledgment, clearly amazed by this place.
"My home is only 50 miles from here," Lian Li said, and she began flying in a straight line.
Su Yang and the others followed.
Sometime later, they arrived before a massive mansion that took up at least a mile worth of space.
"Let's go inside." Lian Li said to them.
Once they entered the building, Lian Li brought them to the audience room.
She knocked on the door and said, "Esteemed father, I have brought your guests here."
"Come inside…" A clear voice resounded a moment later.
Lian Li opened the door and walked inside with the others.
"Lian Li? Why are you here? You should've told me that you were returning."
A handsome middle-aged man sat at the end of the long room, and a dozen experts at the Heavenly Spirit Realm stood on each side of the room.
Lian Li took a knee before Emperor Lian and spoke with her head slightly lowered, "I didn't plan this visit, esteemed father."
"Is that so…?" Emperor Lian then turned to look at the Xie Family.
"Welcome, Xie Family from the Eastern Continent. I have been briefed about your family by Senior Zhu. Although you may have come from a different continent, we are both royalties of similar stature, so I won't expect you to lower your head for me. Furthermore, our ancestors seemed to have a connection with your family's ancestors before." Emperor Lian said to them with a friendly smile on his face.
"Even though our status may be similar, you are still our Senior in terms of cultivation, and we will respect you as such, Senior Lian." Xie Wang stepped forward and gave him a courteous bow. "This one is named Xie Wang, and I have long retired from the throne after giving it to my son here."
Lord Xie then stepped forward and also bowed to Emperor Lian respectfully, "This Junior is called Xie Yimu, and I am the current ruler of the Eastern Continent. It's a pleasure to meet you, Senior Lian."
"And this is my daughter, Xie Xingfang." Lord Xie introduced her to him afterward.
"Greetings, Senior Lian." Xie Xingfang bowed.
Emperor Lian nodded and said, "Lian Po is my name, and as you already know, I am the current ruler of the Holy Central Continent. However, even though I bear the title of Emperor, I do not interact much with the outside world."
Emperor Lian then turned to look at Su Yang before narrowing his eyes slightly.
"You must be Su Yang. I must say, you look exactly like how I'd imagined after hearing about your atrocious deeds— arrogant and fearless." Emperor Lian said to him with a profound gaze. "Even now, you do not put me in your eyes."
"Eh? Atrocious deeds? What did you do, Su Yang?" Xie Wang asked him in a baffled voice.
Hearing his question, Su Yang shrugged and said, "So many things have happened in the last few days that I forgot about it."
"If you don't recall, why don't I help you refresh your memories?" Emperor Lian said before continuing a moment later, "Not only did you humiliate the owner of the Nine Spring Hall— one of the most renowned and famous places on the continent with countless powerful connections by dragging him around the street naked but you also split the Nine Spring Hall itself in half afterward, destroying over one thousand years of history along with it. I won't even mention the other part due to the sheer ridiculousness of it."
"Then you humiliated my son, Lian Heng, by viciously beating him in public and before thousands of his fellow disciples. However, that's not all, as you also openly challenged my Lian Family before humiliating my daughter over there."
By the time Emperor Lian recalled everything that has happened in the last two days, the Xie Family was soaked in cold sweats. Is that what Su Yang did when he left the Four Seasons Academy for two days? And what on earth was Su Yang thinking, offending the Lian Family right before their meeting? If they cannot obtain the Four Elements Root from Emperor Lian, it will be purely his fault!
Meanwhile, the dozen Heavenly Spirit Realm experts standing in the background stared at Su Yang with a fierce expression on their faces, clearly upset by his actions.
"Now that you mention it, I am starting to remember everything. However, you seemed to have left out a little information," Su Yang said a moment later.
And he continued a moment later, "Let's start with your son— Lian Heng. That idiot tried to covet my woman, who already has a child with me before my presence, even daring to threaten that he would use his authority to force her to become his woman. You are lucky that I didn't kill him."
"The audacity! How dare you address His Highness as an idiot?!"
"Apologize to His Majesty right now!"
"Why aren't you on your knees?!"
The Heavenly Spirit Realms Cultivators in the background immediately responded to his words.
Su Yang didn't even bother to look at them and said while looking at Lord Xie, "Doesn't this situation remind you of our first meeting? When your dogs barked at me?"
"Who are you calling dogs?!"
Right as the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators started moving, Emperor Lian suddenly shouted, "Get back!"
The Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators immediately stopped moving before returning to their positions, but their gaze remained on Su Yang, looking as though they wanted to beat him up.
"..."
Lord Xie looked at Su Yang with a speechless expression. This guy is really talented at pissing people off.
Once the place was quiet again, Emperor Lian said to Su Yang, "I know about his obsession for Wu Jingjing, hence why I won't be assisting him even though he'd asked for my help just the other day."
'That idiot dared to ask Father for help after his disgraceful performance?! How shameless! If I see that idiot again, I'll definitely give him a beating!' Lian Li cried inwardly after hearing that.
Chapter 687 Dried-up Corpse
"Since you know the deal with your own son, let's move onto the next topic— the Nine Spring Hall," Su Yang continued a moment later.
"Even though I have already forgiven her, your daughter here, Lian Li, plotted with the Nine Spring Hall and poisoned me with the intention of trying to humiliate me."
"..."
A guilty and regretful expression appeared on Lian Li after being reminded of her little prank.
"And in return, I destroyed the Nine Spring Hall and humiliated its owner. If you have a problem with that, I am willing to listen," Su Yang said as he stared at Emperor Lian with a calm expression on his face.
"I understand why you wanted to punish them, but must you destroy the entire place? Was humiliating Jiu Chun in such an extreme manner not enough to subdue your anger?" Emperor Lian asked him.
"Anger? I wouldn't say that I was angry." Su Yang said, and he continued, "If I have to be angry every time I want to do something extreme, I might as well not do anything at all since I am not easily angered."
"I destroyed the Nine Spring Hall as an example for what happens if one dares to mess with me even in the slightest. After all, I don't want Jiu Chun's friends testing their luck with me."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Emperor Lian spoke, but it was not related to any of the incidents caused by Su Yang: "You… Are you really related to Immortal Fairy Su Yue?"
"Immortal Fairy Su Yue?!"
The Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators and Lian Li looked at him with shocked looks on their faces. No wonder why his name sounded so familiar!
'Immortal Fairy Su Yue?' The Xie Family looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"What are you going to do if I said yes?" Su Yang asked him.
"..."
Emperor Lian narrowed his eyes slightly— he didn't dare to respond to such a critical question without thinking about it. If Su Yang turns out to be Immortal Fairy Su Yue's husband, there was simply nothing he could do even if Su Yang decided to uproot the entire continent, as Immortal Fairy Su Yue's prowess far exceeded that of the Lian Family and the entire continent combined.
However, before Emperor Lian could even respond, Su Yang continued, "If you are wondering whether I am her husband or not, then I am not. But that is not to say our relationship is not an intimate one."
"I see…" Emperor Lian nodded with a profound look on his face. Nobody there could guess what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Anyway, putting the incidents to the side for now, why did you want an audience with me? Surely, you didn't come here just to challenge me, right?"
Su Yang smiled and said, "While that doesn't sound too bad, unfortunately, I am here on urgent matters. The Four Elements Root, you have heard of it, right? Well, I want it."
"..."
Emperor Lian frowned for a good minute after hearing Su Yang's words before speaking, "Why do you want the Four Elements Root?"
"Allow me to explain the situation, Senior Lian—" Xie Wang responded in Su Yang's stead, and he proceeded to explain the situation and Xie Xingfang's condition to Emperor Lian.
"A poisoned body, huh?" Emperor Lian pondered for a moment before continuing, "As much as I want to assist you, I cannot give you the Four Elements Root."
The Xie Family immediately frowned after hearing his words, and Lord Xie opened his mouth to ask, "May this Junior ask why, Senior Lian?"
Emperor Lian nodded his head and suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Follow me."
The Xie Family looked at Su Yang, who looked at Lian Li.
"This is probably about…"
A bitter expression appeared on Lian Li's expression before she spoke, "I think it would be better if you saw the situation yourself."
Su Yang nodded, and they followed Emperor Lian for a few minutes until they arrived outside of another room.
"This smell…" Su Yang frowned after his nose picked up a foul odor in the air.
'I see… so that's why he cannot give up the Four Elements Root, huh?' Su Yang thought to himself as he quickly realized the situation.
"Inside this room is my wife, Feng Xindou." Emperor Lian suddenly said to them, "However, she is currently ill."
After taking a deep breath, Emperor Lian opened the door, allowing them to see the scene inside.
Inside the vast room was a single bed with no other furniture, and there appeared to be a figure sleeping on the bed, yet there was something odd about this figure.
"What in Heaven's name…" Xie Wang's eyes widened with surprise when he saw the 'human' that was sleeping in the bed.
"That's your wife…?" Xie Xingfang covered her mouth from shock after seeing Feng Xindou, who looked more like a dried-up corpse than a human being.
"My wife used to be a healthy Cultivator, but out of the blue one day, she became extremely sick— to the point where she had to be bedridden. No doctors were able to figure out the reason she became like this, and obviously, none of them were able to find a cure either, and for the past ten years, she has been in this state with her condition only growing worse. However, one of the best doctors on this continent had a breakthrough last year, and he said that the Four Elements Root might have a chance to heal her, hence why I cannot give it to you." Emperor Lian explained to them.
After a long moment of silence, Xie Xingfang spoke, "I understand, Senior Lian. Don't worry, we won't take the Four Elements Root from you— especially not after seeing the condition of your wife."
"I'm truly sorry about this, young lady." Emperor Lian sighed. "Although I cannot give you the Four Elements Root, if I can do anything else to help you, I would not hesitate."
However, Su Yang suddenly spoke a moment later, "If I can heal your wife, will you give us the Four Elements Root?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Su Yang's sudden words, everyone there turned to look at him with wide eyes and dropped jaws, especially Emperor Lian, who held a dumbfounded look on his face, resembling a dumb chicken in that moment.
Chapter 688 No Matter What I Do to Your Wife
"C-C-Can you repeat that? I-I don't think I heard you properly just now…" Emperor Lian said to Su Yang in a shaky voice after a long moment of pure silence, his heart beating louder than it has ever experienced before.
Su Yang then said in a calm voice, "You don't need the Four Elements Root to heal your wife; her condition is quite complex, but I can heal her if you give me three days."
"REALLY?!" Emperor Lian could not control his excitement when he heard Su Yang's words, and he immediately grabbed Su Yang's shoulders.
"Unless you are a woman, I would prefer it if you don't touch my body," Su Yang said with slightly narrowed eyes that felt threatening.
"O-Oh… I apologize, where are my manners?" Emperor Lian quickly retrieved his hands and then continued, "Are you serious about that? If you can really heal my wife, I am willing to give you anything in my possession, much less the Four Elements Root!"
Su Yang patted his robes where Emperor Lian touched before speaking, "Her condition is caused by her unique body that produces an incredible amount of Yin Qi at a rapid rate, and if not discharged from her body after a period of time, her body will begin to experience backlashes, and in your wife's case, her body will grow weaker and weaker, as the balance of her Yin Qi and Profound Qi is completely messed up."
"Imbalance of Yin Qi and Profound Qi? How does that work? Even if that's the case, why is her condition so bad?" Emperor Lian asked him.
"Her case is a special one due to her unique body that produces much more Yin Qi than normal," Su Yang said, and he continued in a nonchalant voice and calm face, "When was the last time you had sex with her?"
"Excuse me?" Emperor Lian looked at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"Did I stutter? I am asking you when was the last time you pleased her. The reason her body is like that is due to the extreme amount of Yin Qi that's contained within her body."
"Uhh… I believe we haven't done it ever since Lian Heng's birth…" Emperor Lian said in a reserved voice. He would've never imagined that he would one day speak of his activities with his wife to someone he'd just met.
"I understand," Su Yang nodded a moment later, "Anyway, give me three days with her and she'll be able to walk again after a few weeks of rest."
"R-Really?" Emperor Lian looked at him, still feeling doubtful about the whole situation.
If Su Yang wasn't related to Immortal Fairy Su Yue, he wouldn't even have considered letting Su Yang near his wife, much less 'heal' her condition that no doctor has been able to solve for many years.
"Yes, but I have two conditions," Su Yang suddenly said.
"T-Two conditions? What is it?" Emperor Lian asked him. If it'll help his wife recover, he'll accept any condition no matter how ridiculous it may be.
"The first condition is that nobody will be allowed to enter the room while I treat your wife until she is recovered— not even you."
"And the final condition is that you will not utter a single complaint no matter what I do to your wife, and you will not blame your wife after the treatment."
"..."
Emperor Lian looked at him with a dazed face. What kind of conditions were these? What is he going to do to his wife that would warrant such conditions? However, he was not in any position to refuse, as this might be his only hope of healing his wife.
"If you do not accept these conditions, I won't be able to help you or your wife. Although the Four Elements Root is important, it's not necessary for me to heal Xing'er," Su Yang said to him.
"I accept! I accept your conditions so please help my wife!" Emperor Lian quickly said to him in a pleading voice.
Su Yang nodded and then turned to look at the dazed Xie Family, "Looks like we'll be here a little longer than anticipated."
"Give me a piece of paper and something to write with— I will list out all of the ingredients required for this treatment," Su Yang said a moment later.
"Somebody get a piece of paper and a brush!" Emperor Lian shouted at the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators standing not too far away.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
They quickly scrambled around.
A few minutes later, they returned with some paper and multiple brushes.
Su Yang proceeded to write out a list of ingredients and medicine and handed it to Emperor Lian.
"The quicker you gather these things the faster I will be able to start my treatment," he said.
Hearing his words, Emperor Lian shouted again, "You all heard him! I want everything on this list within four hours! I don't care how you get it! Even if you have to snatch it from a baby's hand, you will do it! I will compensate for everything later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The dozen Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators took a second to memorize all of the ingredients on the list before running away at max speed.
Meanwhile, Su Yang said as he entered the room, "I am going to take a closer look at her in the meantime."
Once he was beside the bed, Su Yang gently pressed two of his fingers onto Feng Xindou's neck, feeling her dry and dead skin.
'Hmm… Her condition is worse than I'd expected…' Su Yang thought to himself as he inspected her body with his spiritual sense.
"How is my mother?" Lian Li approached him from behind before asking in a low voice.
"Not good," Su Yang shook his head. "There's too much Yin Qi built up in her body. The only reason she lasted this long is due to her cultivation base at the Sovereign Spirit Realm. If she had been in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, she would've probably died long ago. However, she's not hopeless."
"If you say she can be saved, I'll believe you, Su Yang." Lian Li said to him, her eyes filled with a sense of unwavering trust.
Chapter 689 Virgin"s Blood
Only three hours have passed since Emperor Lian ordered his people to gather the ingredients listed by Su Yang, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators have already returned to their side with every single ingredient on the list.
"Here's everything you asked for." Emperor Lian handed the ingredients to Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded and said, "I will immediately begin the treatment. Don't bother us no matter what for the next 3 days."
Emperor Lian nodded with a resolute expression on his face. Even though he can already imagine what Su Yang might do to his wife, it was required for her recovery, and he is willing to endure anything to see her healthy once again.
After accepting the storage ring that contained the ingredients, Su Yang went into Feng Xindou's room before sealing the doors.
"Your Majesty, do you think he'll really be able to heal Her Majesty?" The Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators asked him in a doubtful voice.
"I don't know, but we can only hope that he can…" Emperor Lian sighed.
"If Su Yang claims that he can help Senior Feng recover then I have no doubt that he'll be able to save her," Xie Xingfang suddenly said with a confident expression on her face.
"You…" The people there looked at her with a dazed look.
"I also believe in him," Lian Li suddenly said, surprising everyone there.
"I understand why she would say such words but you…? What makes you trust him so much? Didn't you try to poison him not long ago?" Emperor Lian asked her with his eyes wide with surprise.
"..." Lian Li immediately became speechless. Why must everyone keep bringing that up?
"Because I have witnessed his Alchemy skills," she said a moment later. "Father may not know this since it happened right before we arrived here but Su Yang… he… he successfully concocted the Soul Divination Pill that has challenged every Alchemist in the world for generations."
"What did you say?! The Soul Divination Pill?!" The Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators immediately expressed their shock, even forgetting her status for a moment.
"Is that true?" Emperor Lian asked her for confirmation, not daring to believe his ears.
The Soul Divination Pill has troubled them for as long as he could remember. To think Su Yang would concoct a pill that nobody else could after hundreds of years.
"Yes, since I watched him do it with Sect Master Zhu and many other sect elders." Lian Li nodded.
"Since we are on the topic, I might as well add that Su Yang… he has revolutionized Alchemy in the Eastern Continent with his godlike Alchemy skills and a few pills he'd brought into existence." Lord Xie suddenly said.
"Revolutionized Alchemy?" The people there looked at him with wide eyes, as that was a bold claim.
"Yes, it's a pill called the Earth Advancement Pill and Heaven Transcendence Pill, which will allow Cultivators to breakthrough to the Earth Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm with ease."
"What on earth! How can such heaven-defying pills exist?!" Emperor Lian exclaimed.
However, Lord Xie merely shrugged his shoulders, as he had no answer for such a question.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Su Yang laid the ingredients on the floor before he retrieved an ordinary cauldron and tossed a few of the ingredients inside.
A few minutes later, he retrieved the liquid from the cauldron and poured it into a glass bottle.
This liquid was bright red, resembling fresh blood, but it was more translucent than blood.
Su Yang then approached the bed and looked at the dried-up figure that is Feng Xindou and said to her in a low voice, "I know you can hear me since you are awake. My name is Su Yang, and I am going to help cure your condition that is caused by your unique body that produces more Yin Qi than what one would normally produce."
"However, since this is related to your Yin Qi, I am going to have to touch your body and make you release your Yin Qi. Though, I cannot touch your body for now since your body is not in the right condition."
"What I have in my hand right now is called 'Virgin's Blood', and it will help you release some of your Yin Qi."
Su Yang then removed the soft blankets that covered Feng Xindou's body, revealing her body that resembled a dried-up corpse.
"I am going to pour it on you now."
After saying such words, Su Yang tilted the glass bottle and poured the Virgin's Blood onto her body.
A few seconds after Feng Xindou was submerged in the translucent red liquid, her body began trembling slightly, and Yin Qi began leaking from between her legs.
However, unlike what a healthy lady would release, Feng Xindou's Yin Qi was stained with blood, making it look like she was bleeding inside.
"I am going to leave you like this for a few hours. Just forget about everything and enjoy it for now."
Su Yang then returned to the cauldron, and he began concocting a few more things whilst Feng Xindou was bathing in the Virgin's Blood.
A few hours later, Su Yang returned to Feng Xindou's side, and there was a large puddle of red Yin Qi surrounding her body. However, there were also some changes to Feng Xindou's body, as her skin no longer looked as dried-up as before, even looking a little bit glossy.
Su Yang waved his sleeves, sending the blood-stained Yin Qi to the end of the room.
"Your body is looking a lot better, but it's still nowhere near being healthy again," he said to her as he retrieved a bottle of semi-transparent liquid that he'd just created.
"This is called Euphoric Oil, and it'll enhance the effects of the Virgin's Blood. Now that your body is better, we can speed up the process a little bit."
Su Yang then poured the entire bottle of Euphoric Oil onto her body, before pouring another bottle of Virgin's Blood.
A few seconds later, Feng Xindou's body began trembling again as it released more Yin Qi, and it was coming out at a much faster rate than before.
Chapter 690 Treating Feng Xindou
Nearly an entire day has passed since Su Yang began treating Feng Xindou, yet he hasn't touched a single hair on her body, only pouring Virgin's Blood and a few other medicines on her body.
On the second day, Feng Xindou's appearance looked vastly different compared to the first day of treatment, and she no longer resembled a dried-up corpse. However, her body was still very skinny, and her complexion was pale, looking very unhealthy, and malnourished.
As Su Yang poured a new bottle of Virgin's Blood onto Feng Xindou's body, her lips moved slightly, and a hoarse voice resounded, "Thank… you… Su… Yang…"
Su Yang smiled after hearing her voice, and he said, "I see that you're capable of speaking now. That's good news, but don't push yourself, and you can thank me after you have completely recovered."
"Un…" Feng Xindou nodded her head slightly before closing her eyes again.
A few moments later, Feng Xindou's body began releasing more Yin Qi, but it was no longer stained with blood and resembled clear water in a clean pond.
A few more hours later, Su Yang returned to her side, but he didn't have any more Virgin's Blood in his hands.
"This is a pill that will help you recover some strength; it contains some Profound Qi of the Yang Element inside, which will help you subdue your Yin Qi to a certain degree."
After a brief explanation, Su Yang tossed the pill into his mouth before crushing it with his teeth and drinking some water. Once he mixed the pill and the water inside his mouth, Su Yang opened Feng Xindou's mouth with his hands before feeding the medicine to her through his own mouth.
Towards the end of the second day, Feng Xindou no longer looked malnourished and appeared no different than any other healthy women, even looking mighty stunning with her smooth skin and a beautiful pale complexion.
"As expected of Lian Li's mother— you are quite an exquisite woman." Su Yang said to her with a smile on his handsome face.
"..."
Feng Xindou looked at her own fair hands while she laid on the bed, seemingly in a daze.
"I thought… I thought I was going to die while being in that horrifying state for the remainder of my life…" she mumbled with teary eyes sometime later.
"Well, that is most likely what would've happened if I didn't come here by chance," Su Yang said to her.
"Yes, and I owe my life to you, my savior…" Feng Xiandou who profoundly resembled Lian Li turned to look at him with a passionate gaze, clearly feeling some sort of affection towards him, who just pulled her out from a dark and empty hole and saved her life.
"Don't get ahead of yourself just yet— you have not completely recovered. In fact, we are only halfway there," Su Yang said to her.
"Really? But I feel just fine…" Feng Xindou said with a puzzled face.
"That is only a temporary feeling since I'd submerged your body in medicine for two whole days now. If I don't finish my treatment, you'll simply return to that corpse-like state a few weeks later."
"!!!" Feng Xindou's body trembled in fear after hearing his words.
"What else needs to be done, savior? I'll do anything you need!" she quickly said to him, as she would rather die than return to that pathetic and horrifying state.
"If we continue to treat you the same way I have been treating you for the past two days, it'll take many weeks, even months to completely heal your body, and there'll be a shortage problem for the supplies used to create the medicine. Therefore, I am going to speed the process up by physically touching you, if you don't mind."
"Physically touch my body…?" Feng Xiandou looked down at her own body, which was completely naked at this moment.
"I know you already have a caring husband, but—"
"It's fine," she suddenly interrupted him.
"Hm?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows in a slightly surprised manner.
"Ever since I gave birth to my second child, Lian Heng, I haven't received any affection from my husband for many decades. Although I cannot bear to betray him with another man, there is only so much a woman can endure before she makes mistakes…"
Feng Xiandou then looked at Su Yang and asked him, "Since I am your patient and you are treating me, this is only considered treatment, right?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yang nodded his head, "That's right. This is part of the treatment, and I have already let your husband know that this might happen, and he has already accepted it."
"Thank you for telling me that, I already feel less guilty…" Feng Xindou said with a relieved smile as she laid on the bed again.
"Go ahead, doctor. Do whatever you need for the 'treatment'." Feng Xindou said to him with her eyes closed.
Su Yang then climbed onto the bed before caressing her smooth skin with the tip of his fingers, sending chills all over her body.
After completely familiarizing himself with the feeling of Feng Xiandou's body, Su Yang moved his hands towards her lower body, gently sliding his fingers down her slender legs before teasing the slit between her legs, brushing past the black bush directly above her cave.
"I… I haven't gotten the chance to personally clean that area for many years now…" Feng Xindou said in a bashful voice, referring to the patch of pubic hair down there. "I-If it's bothering you, I can remove it…"
Because having hair down there for women is seen as unhygienic, unladylike, and disliked by many men who prefer their women 'pure' and 'spotless', most women usually keep that place clean and spotless by removing the hair with medicine or using a cultivation technique that prevents hair from growing down there.
"It's fine," Su Yang said to her in a relaxed voice, "Although some might dislike it, I don't mind it. In fact, it makes you appear more mature and unique."
"Su Yang…"
Empress Feng Xindou nodded her head afterward, no longer feeling as embarrassed about her bush.
Chapter 691 Decades of Sexual Frustration
"Mmm~"
"Aaaa~"
"Oooh~"
Feng Xindou moaned softly as Su Yang gently caressed the area around and outside her cave entrance. Since her body was still fragile, Su Yang didn't dare to touch her too intensively.
Once Feng Xindou was familiarized and comfortable with the feeling of his hands, Su Yang suddenly slipped one of his fingers into her cave whilst rubbing the pink pearl at the same time.
"Aaaahn!"
Feng Xindou's body trembled at the sudden invasion, and her body released a flow of Yin Qi. Then with his other hand, Su Yang began massaging her perfectly shaped breasts that were neither too firm nor too soft and fitted into his grasp flawlessly.
"This… This feels amazing, Su Yang! Are you really just a doctor?" Feng Xindou asked him as her body overflowed with passion and satisfaction.
"Being a doctor is only a hobby and I only become one when it's necessary. I'm actually a Dual Cultivator," he said to her.
"A Dual Cultivator? No wonder why you have such amazing hands and techniques! Your partners must be filled with bliss then!"
"It's my responsibility as a man and their partner to do so, after all," Su Yang said with a smile on his handsome face.
After massaging Feng Xindou for many minutes, she suddenly grabbed his hands and spoke while staring at him with a lustful gaze, "Do you think you can… stick your thing inside me?"
"You want me to stick me what inside what?" Su Yang said with a smile.
"Ahn~! You dare to tease me, the Empress?" Feng Xindou spoke in a playful voice, and she continued a moment later, "I want your dick inside my lonely vagina, Su Yang."
Su Yang nodded and he said, "Don't worry, you'll get it later. Your body still needs some more time to get accustomed to the sensation."
Although she was a little saddened that she had to wait, Feng Xindou understood his intentions, and she nodded her head and allowed him to continue pleasing her body with his hands.
A few hours later, once Feng Xindou was getting impatient again, she asked Su Yang, "What about now, Su Yang? I think my body is ready to take any challenge from you."
"Let me check your body's condition…" Su Yang suddenly increased the intensity of his techniques, sending Feng Xindou's body into a state of extreme ecstasy.
"Aaaaaah~!"
"Aaaah~!"
Aaaaaaahn~!"
Feng Xindou moaned loudly for the next few minutes, feeling as though her entire body was on fire.
A few more minutes later, Su Yang suddenly stopped and removed his soaked hands from her bottom lips and nodded, "Okay, you're ready."
He then stood up and loosened his robes.
"Oh my…" Feng Xindou covered her mouth from shock when she saw just how massive his rod was, exceeding all of her expectations.
"What a majestic and domineering weapon you have there, Su Yang…" she said to him.
Su Yang merely smiled at her words as he kneeled between her legs with his ruler pointing at Feng Xindou's entrance that was leaking Yin Qi as it waited in anticipation.
After rubbing his shaft on her swollen pink pearl for a few more moments, Su Yang finally inserted his weapon into the Empress's body, invading her hole and spreading her inner walls that hadn't been touched for decades.
"Heavens!" Feng Xindou tightly held onto the bedsheets as she endured the feeling of Su Yang's thick rod slowly going deeper into her body until it reached the very end of the cave.
"I-If I had to endure so many years of suffering just so I can experience this… I think it was very worth it…" Feng Xindou mumbled in a low voice after Su Yang's entire shaft was inside her body.
"How do you feel?" Su Yang asked her a moment later.
"It feels like this is my first time all over again…" she said with a smile on her face.
"Then I'll begin moving now."
"Yes, go ahead…"
"Mmm!"
Feng Xindou moaned with her mouth closed, feeling an indescribable sensation flowing through her body.
"Aaaah~!"
"Aaah~!"
After a few minutes of thrusting, Feng Xindou could already feel her body growing stronger and more energetic.
"W-What kind of miracle is this? It feels like I am gaining more energy as we continue doing this!" she exclaimed.
"My Yang Qi is a bit special, and it'll help suppress your condition," he said to her.
"I don't care what's happening! I just want more!" Feng Xindou suddenly sat up and began riding Su Yang's shaft on her own.
Su Yang then grabbed onto her round buttocks and assisted her movements, pounding her vigorously.
"Aahhh~!"
"Aaaaaah~!"
"Aahhhhhh!"
Feng Xindou's hole continuously flowed with Yin Qi they cultivated, and within an hour of cultivation, her body had already almost fully recovered.
"More… more… Ahhhh~!"
As many decades of sexual frustration were finally being satisfied, Feng Xindou continued to cultivate with Su Yang for many hours on end, not even taking breaks.
And coupled with her cultivation base at the seventh level Sovereign Spirit Realm, Feng Xindou was barely able to handle Su Yang's profound techniques.
"I'm going to release some more Yang Qi into you," Su Yang suddenly said.
"Release all you want into me, Su Yang! Even if I get pregnant, I won't complain!" Feng Xindou said with a lustful expression on her face.
A moment later, hot Yang Qi flowed into her body, yet they did not stop cultivating.
Their cultivation session lasted for many hours until the end of the day, and by the end, Feng Xindou laid on the bed with a sweaty body and her cave filled with Su Yang's Yang Qi.
"Thank you… Su Yang… for not only saving me from that terrifying condition but also satisfying my sexual frustration that had built up for many decades…" Feng Xindou said to him in a gentle voice. "If there's anything I can do for you as the Empress, don't hesitate to ask me."
Chapter 692 The Empress"s Recovery
"Hey, Su Yang… do you have a wife yet? Or partners you are dedicated to?" Feng Xindou suddenly asked him as he got dressed.
"Yes, I do— many, in fact." He answered without hesitation. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, I have a daughter who is just as beautiful if not even more beautiful than me, and I was wondering if you would be willing to consider taking her as one of your partners. Although she can be a bit of a hassle sometimes, she's not a bad girl, and I'm sure that she'll be a great addition to your family." Feng Xindou said, surprisingly offering her own daughter to him.
"Oh? I am willing to listen to your reasons right now," Su Yang said with a mysterious smile on his face.
"As much as I want to become your woman, I am already married to a faithful husband, and while he has neglected me for some time now, I know that he still cares about me deeply, or he would've long given up on me and found another woman to marry."
"However, my daughter, Lian Li… she's still a pure maiden as far as I'm aware, and I am simply trying to fulfill my job as a mother by finding a suitable partner for her," Feng Xindou explained to him.
Hearing her words, Su Yang suddenly approached her and caressed her face while speaking in a seducing voice, "So what you're saying is… you don't want to become my woman? If you become my woman, I can satisfy your lust every day, and you even get to experience much better things than what happened today."
"..."
Feng Xindou looked at him with a surprised face, seemingly shocked speechless by his sudden approach.
"I-If you say something like that, I will really…"
However, before Feng Xindou could finish her sentence, Su Yang gave her a gentle but passionate kiss on the lips for a good moment before distancing himself.
Su Yang then said to her in a calm voice, "That was a farewell kiss. If it was a few thousand years ago, when I was still seducing every woman I set my eyes on without a care for the world, I would've definitely taken you for myself. However, you still have a caring husband, and I only take away women from those who don't deserve them."
"As for your daughter, Lian Li… I will think about it."
"A few thousand years ago…?"
Feng Xindou stared at him with wide eyes filled with wonder, and she pondered inwardly, 'Just who are you, Su Yang…?'
However, before she could ask him that question, Su Yang was already opening the door.
"I will let them know that you've completely recovered so you can come out whenever you are ready," Su Yang said to her before leaving the room and closing the door.
Once Su Yang left her alone, Feng Xindou laid on the bed while staring at the ceiling with a dazed look.
'If only I had met you earlier…' she sighed inwardly.
Meanwhile, standing outside Feng Xindou's room were Emperor Lian and the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators with a few extra additions— unfamiliar faces Su Yang is seeing for the first time.
"Su Yang! How is my wife?!" Emperor Lian quickly asked after seeing Su Yang leave the room, his heart beating so hard it could be considered having an anxiety attack.
"Calm down, your wife is fine, and she has completely recovered from her condition." Su Yang said with a calm expression.
"R-Really?! T-Thank heavens!" Emperor Lian felt the strength in his legs disappear, causing him to fall onto the floor with tears in his eyes.
"Heavens! Am I hearing this right?! Her Majesty has actually recovered after being treated by him?!" The unfamiliar faces exclaimed in shocked voices.
"Who are you guys?" Su Yang asked them with raised eyebrows.
"W-We are the doctors that have been trying to treat Her Majesty but to no avail! Please! Can you tell us how you treated her condition?!" The doctors asked him.
"Oh, so you're the useless bunch that couldn't even cure a single woman, huh? Well, if you want to know how I treated her, you should ask her yourself." Su Yang shook his head.
"U-Useless bunch…?" The doctors there were speechless, as their first time being cursed at by someone that was not Emperor Lian! They were all renowned doctors respected by the majority of the people in the Holy Central Continent, too!
"I am going to see my wife!" Emperor Lian said as he approached the room.
However, he was immediately stopped by Su Yang, who blocked his path with a single arm.
"W-What is the meaning of this? If she's healed, why can't I see her?" Emperor Lian asked him with a puzzled frown.
"There's no need to be so impatient. She will come out when she's ready. However, if you insist on going in now, I won't be responsible for whatever happens afterward," Su Yang shook his head.
"I-Is that so…" Emperor Lian looked at him with a dazed face, unsure how he should feel about this.
"Why don't you get me my Four Elements Root in the meantime? You can hand it to me after you see your wife later if you are still doubtful," Su Yang said to Emperor Lian, and he continued a moment later, "Anyway, where are the others?"
"They should be resting in the guest room with my daughter," Emperor Lian said.
"Somebody bring him to the guest room! And one of you prepare the Four Elements Root!" Emperor Lian said to the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Even when Su Yang was gone, Emperor Lian continued to wait in front of Feng Xindou's room.
Many minutes later, the door suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman wearing majestic robes walked out of the room, bearing a domineering aura around her that was fitting of an Empress.
"M-My wife! Y-You have really recovered!" Seeing her beautiful figure, Emperor Lian immediately approached her, yet he didn't dare to touch her, fearing that her body was still weak.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, my dear…" Feng Xindou said to him with a gentle smile on her face.
Chapter 693 Do You Still Want to Be My Woman?
"A-Are you sure you should be walking around, my wife? You had spent many years in that condition, after all…" Emperor Lian said to Feng Xindou when she began walking around.
"It's because I have spent many years unable to move that I want to move around! And you don't need to worry about my condition, as I am confident that something like this won't affect me," she said.
If she could cultivate with Su Yang for many hours without any breaks, she shouldn't have any problems with just walking around.
"Y-Your Majesty! Although you seem healthy, we do not know for sure whether or not you have fully recovered, so allow us to examine your body just in case." The doctors there suddenly said to her.
However, Feng Xindou narrowed her eyes at them and spoke in a cold voice, "Are you doubting my savior's ability? None of you have the right to doubt him when you couldn't even do a damn thing about my condition for many years, whilst Su Yang managed to help me walk in just three days! Shame on all of you!"
"..."
The doctors there immediately lowered their heads in shame after hearing Feng Xindou's words, and there was nothing they could say that would save their faces at this point, as it was simply a fact that they were helpless against her condition.
"Anyway, where is Su Yang? What about Lian Li? Is she still at the Holy Sword Academy? I want her to return here as soon as possible." Feng Xindou no longer bothered with the doctors and asked Emperor Lian.
"Lian Li? She's already here," he said. "As for Su Yang, he should be in the guest room with the other guests."
"Lian Li is already here? That makes things much easier," she nodded.
"Why do you need her?" Emperor Lian asked her.
"I plan on making her Su Yang's partner," she answered without hesitation.
"W-What?! You want to make our daughter that man's partner?!" Emperor Lian looked at her with wide eyes filled with shock, as this is the last thing he'd expected to come out of her mouth when she'd just recovered from her illness.
"Why are you so surprised? Or do you reject such an idea?" Feng Xindou narrowed her eyes at him.
"N-No… but the situation is much more complicated than you think…" Emperor Lian said. Even though it has been many years since they spoke with each other, Feng Xindou's overbearing aura still frightens him sometimes.
"Complicated? How so?" Feng Xindou frowned.
"Well…" Emperor Lian proceeded to explain the situation to her— everything from Lian Heng's deeds to what happened at and to the Nine Spring Hall.
By the end of everything, Feng Xindou's body was trembling, and her face was fuming in anger.
"That useless son and that stupid daughter of mine! How could they do such things to Su Yang?! Luckily for them, Su Yang is a compassionate gentleman, or else I would still be rotting away in that bed right now!" Feng Xindou shouted at Emperor Lian as though it was his fault for not teaching their children properly.
"I will personally deal with our boy later. Bring me to our daughter now!" she said in a fierce voice.
"Right away…" Emperor Lian swallowed nervously, not daring to argue with Feng Xindou when she's this heated.
Meanwhile, in the guest room, where the Xie Family and Lian Li were gathered, Lian Li quickly ran up to Su Yang after seeing him return.
"Su Yang! How's my mother?" she asked him.
"The treatment went as planned— she's perfectly fine," Su Yang said to her.
"Thank you, Su Yang… Really, thank you…" Lian Li nearly fell onto her knees from relief.
Sometime later, the door opened again, and Emperor Lian and Feng Xindou entered the room.
"Mother!"
Despite the cold expression on Feng Xindou's face and the nervous look on Emperor Lian's face, Lian Li approached them with a bright face, clearly happy to see her mother healthy and walking.
However, right as Lian Li got close to Feng Xindou, a loud and crisp slapping sound echoed in the room, causing everybody there to look at them with wide eyes.
"M-Mother…?" Lian Li looked at her mother with a dazed look after being slapped so suddenly, wondering what she'd done wrong to deserve such a slap.
"I have heard everything from your father! How could you do something as stupid as poisoning my savior?! And to think I was trying to help you out! Now I look like a damn fool!" Feng Xindou yelled at her.
"Trying to help me out?" Lian Li raised her eyebrows.
Feng Xindou then looked at Su Yang and said, "I'm truly sorry for the trouble my children have caused you, Su Yang. I will definitely punish them later. As for what we talked about before… I doubt you would be willing to accept a woman who tried to poison you…"
"What…?" Lian Li looked at Feng Xindou with her wide eyes filled with shock. She didn't think her mother would try to hook her up with Su Yang behind her back!
After a moment of silence, Su Yang spoke with a calm smile on his face, "While it is true that she has tried to poison me, I have already forgiven her. As for whether or not I'm willing to accept her…"
Su Yang then turned to look at Lian Li and continued, "What do you think? Do you still want to be my woman?"
"Eh?" It was Feng Xindou's turn to be surprised now. "Still…?"
"Hm? Oh, that's right, we haven't mentioned it yet. Do you want to tell them, Lian Li?" Su Yang asked her.
Lian Li nodded and turned to look at her father and mother and spoke, "I… I have already given my body to him…"
"..."
Feng Xindou's jaw dropped, as did Emperor Lian and everyone else in the room.
'Despite being brought up in a similar lifestyle as me, she actually managed to accept Su Yang…?' Xie Xingfang looked at Lian Li with disbelief on her face.
Chapter 694 Four Elements Roo
"W-Wait a second! W-What do you mean by that? Does this mean you and Su Yang already…?" Feng Xindou stared at Lian Li with a gawking expression.
"Yes, I have taken her Pure Yin Essence," Su Yang said in a calm voice.
"..." Lian Li's face flushed with redness as her parents stared at her with intensive gazes.
"Anyway, I may be from the Eastern Continent, but I am actually from another world that exists beyond this starry sky," Su Yang suddenly said, causing the Lian Family to stare at him with wide eyes.
"There's no need to look so surprised. In fact, I am not the only person in this world that came from beyond the starry sky. The person you all know as 'Immortal Fairy Su Yue' is also not from this world."
"Immortal Fairy Su Yue!" Emperor Lian mumbled in a surprised voice.
"Well, since you know my real background now, do you still want to come with me? If you decide to leave this world with me, I can't guarantee you that you'll be able to return to this world," Su Yang said while looking at Lian Li, who held a dazed look on her beautiful face.
"I…" Lian Li didn't dare to make the decision by herself and turned to look at her parents for help.
However, Emperor Lian deliberately turned his head away so they couldn't make eye contact. As for Feng Xindou, she had a look on her face that said: "Do you really need our help with such an obvious choice?"
Seeing this, Lian Li showed a bittersweet smile on her face before she turned to look at Su Yang and spoke, "If you don't mind bringing me with you, I am willing to follow you no matter where or how far you go in the starry sky."
Hearing her words, Su Yang nodded with a smile on his face, "I will never refuse company from a beauty, especially one at your quality."
"Does that mean…" Lian Li's eyes flickered with excitement.
"Yes, I'll bring you with me if that's what you truly want."
"Thank you, Su Yang!" Lian Li quickly ran to him and gave him a passionate embrace.
Meanwhile, Xie Wang nudged Xie Xingfang with his elbow and mumbled to her, "If someone like Lian Li could accept Su Yang for who he is, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do the same. However, at the end of the day, it all depends on how much you want to be with him."
"..." Xie Xingfang did not say anything and merely nodded her head in silence, her expression looking like she was thinking about many things.
Sometime later, the Heavenly Spirit Realm Cultivators returned while carrying a 6-feet long golden box, "Your Majesty, we have brought the Four Elements Root!"
Emperor Lian nodded and said, "Give it to Su Yang."
Once the golden box was in his hands, Su Yang opened it to reveal the Four Elements Root that looked like an oversized root with four long roots, each a different color that resembled the four elements— water, fire, earth, and wind.
"Wow… I would've never imagined the Four Elements Root would turn out to be this massive of a treasure… It's taller than most adult humans!" Xie Wang expressed his awe after seeing the Four Elements Root for the first time.
"Are you satisfied with this? If there's anything else you need, just let me know and I will try my best to get it for you." Emperor Lian said to him sometime later.
"Since you mentioned it, I won't be humble." Su Yang then retrieved a brush and piece of paper and wrote the names of a few ingredients onto it before handing it to Emperor Lian.
"These are…"
A few beads of sweat appeared on Emperor Lian's forehead after he finished reading Su Yang's list.
"You really weren't lying when you said you won't be humble…"
"What? You can't do it?" Su Yang said with a smile on his face.
Emperor Lian closed his eyes and took a deep breath before speaking, "Despite the fact that everything you listed here is worth more than the Four Elements Root since you saved my wife's life, I will help you this once."
"It'll also take a few weeks to gather these items, too."
Su Yang nodded, "That's fine. I'll have someone come pick it up once it's ready."
Su Yang then looked at the Xie Family and said, "Now that we have the Four Elements Root, are you ready to return to the Eastern Continent?"
"While I would love to stay here for a bit longer, we still have to heal Xing'er condition." Xie Wang stood up and said.
"You're leaving already, Su Yang? Why don't you stay here for a few more days?" Feng Xindou asked him, seemingly reluctant to see him go so quickly.
"I would love to, but I am currently in the process of treating her, so I'll have to return another time," Su Yang said as he pointed at Xie Xingfang.
"Oh… I apologize, young lady… I didn't know you were his patient, too…" Feng Xindou said to Xie Xingfang.
"It's okay," Xie Xingfang shook her head.
"Well, knowing Su Yang, he'll definitely be able to treat whatever problems that you may have, as I have personally experienced his abilities." Feng Xindou said.
"I know… I also trust that Su Yang will be able to help me recover," Xie Xingfang said with a smile on her face.
'This girl… she's definitely a worthy rival for my daughter…' Feng Xindou thought to herself after seeing Xie Xingfang's noble demeanor.
"Lian Li!"
Feng Xindou suddenly approached her and embraced her. "I won't apologize for slapping you just now since you still wronged Su Yang, but I hope you can become someone important to him, and I won't forgive you if you ever return here empty-handed."
"Empty-handed…?" Lian Li looked at her mother with a confused expression on her face.
"I'm talking about my grandchildren, you silly!" Feng Xindou chuckled, immediately making Lian Li blush. "I better be a grandmother the next time we meet! Don't even come back here if you don't have my grandchildren with you!"
"I… I understand, mother…" Lian Li nodded with her face blooming with redness.
Chapter 695 Handshake
"Su Yang, I know my daughter may have made mistakes in the past, but I hope you can treat her with love as you did with me…" Feng Xindou pulled Su Yang to the side and whispered to him.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat her any differently because of what happened. And even though I may not be able to physically please you, my presence will still be here one way or another…"
"What do you mean by that?" Feng Xindou raised her eyebrows, seemingly puzzled by his last sentence.
Su Yang merely smiled before turning to look at Emperor Lian.
"Hey, take this and study it."
Emperor Lian quickly went to catch whatever Su Yang just threw at him.
"Even though your wife has recovered from her condition, she's not completely safe, as she still needs to continuously release her Yin Qi to prevent it from happening again in the future. Therefore, as her husband, you will have to bear that responsibility and treat her with love and passion at least once a week. That piece of scroll contains a few techniques that will help you and your wife in multiple ways."
"If you continue to neglect your wife, someone else might take her away from you, and that person might be me, so it would be in your best interest to start loving her more." Su Yang said with a smile as he walked outside, dumbfounding Emperor Lian.
"Su Yang…" Even Feng Xindou couldn't help but blush after hearing his words.
As for Lian Li, she was staring at her mother with a dazed look on her face, silently wondering to herself what happened between them during the treatment?
Sometime later, once Su Yang, the Xie Family, and Lian Li were outside, Su Yang retrieved the large flying ship and tossed it into the air before it expanded into the size of a real battleship.
Once everyone bored the ship, Su Yang navigated it to fly towards the Four Seasons Academy.
"Haaa…" Feng Xindou released a profound sigh as she watched the flying ship quickly disappear from the scene.
Seeing this, Emperor Lian couldn't help but ask her, "Did something happen between the two of you?"
Hearing his question, Feng Xindou merely smiled and said, "He treated me like a woman, but you probably already know that, right? Su Yang wasn't lying when he said that he might take me away if you don't start loving me again."
"I-I wouldn't dare to neglect you after what happened! I swear I will love you every day for the rest of our lives!" Emperor Lian said as he followed Feng Xindou back into the palace.
Meanwhile, Su Yang and the other returned to the Four Seasons Academy a few minutes later.
"Su Yang! You're back! How did your meeting with Emperor Lian go? I didn't think you would be gone for so long so I was beginning to worry something might have happened to you," Zhu Mengyi greeted him with a wide smile on her face while Zhu Jiayi expressed her desire to be held by Su Yang by waving her arms at him.
"You are right, something did happen, but it wasn't anything troublesome," Su Yang said as he took Zhu Jiayi from her mother's arms.
"Anyway, are you ready to leave? I can tell you about it later."
"Yes, I have already said my farewells to my mother and my friends in this place."
"Good, then we'll go pick up Wu Jingjing before we leave for the Eastern Continent."
Once Zhu Mengyi was on the flying ship, Su Yang navigated it towards the Holy Sword Academy next.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Zhu watched as the flying ship and Zhu Mengyi disappeared from the Four Seasons Academy.
"Good luck, my little girl. I'm sure you'll achieve great things with someone like Su Yang by your side."
A few minutes after Su Yang left the Four Seasons Academy, they reached the Holy Sword Academy, and Wu Jingjing was already waiting for him with Wu Jiang by her side.
"Are you leaving the Holy Central Continent now?" Wu Jiang asked him despite already knowing the answer.
"That's right." Su Yang nodded.
"I see…" Wu Jiang looked at Wu Jingjing and then at Wu Min with a loving gaze.
"Hopefully we can meet again before I perish from this world," he sighed a moment later.
"Why must you say something so depressing before I leave? Are you doing this on purpose so I feel bad?" Wu Jingjing shook her head at him.
"Hahaha… That was not my intention, Jingjing," he laughed out loud, yet the sadness in his eyes could not be hidden.
"I will definitely see you again in the future, father," Wu Jingjing gave him a powerful hug before boarding the flying ship.
"You better keep your words and protect them properly, Su Yang, or I will haunt you even after my death," Wu Jiang said to him.
"I will willingly haunt myself if anything were to happen to them," Su Yang responded with a smile on his face.
"Then I leave my daughter in your care." Wu Jiang extended his hand for a handshake.
Su Yang looked at it for a moment before grabbing it and shaking Wu Jiang's hand.
"Consider yourself lucky. Even though it's only a handshake, I don't willingly touch men often," Su Yang laughed.
"Hmph! You should consider yourself lucky for having someone like Wu Jingjing!" Wu Jiang quickly said.
After their handshake, Su Yang boarded the flying ship with Wu Jingjing and Wu Min.
A few moments later, the flying ship began moving, and it disappeared from Wu Jiang's view almost instantly.
Once the flying ship left the Holy Sword Academy, it flew straight over the Jade Sea and towards the Eastern Continent, completely leaving the Holy Central Continent.
"You're also following us to the Eastern Continent, Your Highness?" Wu Jingjing asked Lian Li in a surprised voice after noticing her presence on the ship.
"Yes, and you can stop addressing me that way, as I am no longer a part of the Lian Family. Just call me 'Sister Li' from now on," Lian Li said to her with a beautiful smile on her face.
