"Also, didn’t you say in the Secret Realm that you would show sothing after we ca out? What is it exactly?" Chen Mo asked.
Chu Yanli did not answer directly but instead changed the subject and asked, "There was hidden information in the Xu Family case back then, you are aware of it, right?"
Chen Mo asked puzzled, "I know, but what does it have to do with the Secret Realm?"
Chu Yanli curved her mouth into a smile, "Do you have any clues about what Chu Heng is looking for?"
Chen Mo was startled for a mont, then reacted with surprise, "It’s with you?"
Back then, he saw a map on the back of Liu Miaozhi and Xu Ling’er, pointing to the Observatory, which held the key to the Xu Family’s vindication.
This was also the reason he initially approached Qi Chengze, but he had not had the chance to search thoroughly...
Unexpectedly, it was in Chu Yanli’s hands?
"The item is still at the Observatory, but the clue was left by ," Chu Yanli said with spread hands, "I originally intended to bait big fish, but didn’t expect you to appear as a variable... Many things can’t be explained in a few words; you’ll understand when you see it for yourself..."
Chen Mo had a strong intuition that this old case buried for six years might involve an unknown secret of Wu Lie, and perhaps many previously incomprehensible things would have answers.
"I’ve told you so much, do you have anything to say to ?" Chu Yanli glanced at him, hinting sothing.
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, "You an..."
"In the Secret Realm, you overwheld No Desire Buddha and destroyed the corpse tide, demonstrating strength that far surpasses ordinary Ultimate Venerables."
"Especially that blue light of destruction, clearly a thod of Consort Yu."
Chu Yanli pinched her chin with her fingers, thinking aloud, "I’m very curious how she can span two worlds and perform Divine Soul Possession, while maintaining an endless supply of Dao Power? It all defies reason..."
Even if Yu Youhan was strong, she couldn’t generate Dao Power from thin air.
There must be so special connection between these two people, allowing Yu Youhan to infuse her cultivation into Chen Mo, even ignoring the constraints of ti and space; it’s truly terrifying on reflection!
Chen Mo said blandly, "No comnt."
"Tsk, so stingy," Chu Yanli pouted and huffed, but didn’t press further.
The air returned to silence.
Only the slightly hurried breathing could be heard.
Under Chen Mo’s suppression, the gold scales on Chu Yanli retreated completely, revealing her true appearance.
Though stationed at the border for years, exposed to the wind and sun, her skin remained smooth and fair, with a silky texture, adding a unique resilient feel.
Her long legs were straight and shapely, her waist slim, curves full without a trace of excess flesh.
She was like a masterpiece polished to perfection, flawless even under the most critical gaze.
"Should be almost done."
"Eh, there’s still a little inside..."
Chen Mo’s fingertip enveloped in purple light slowly reached in—
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Chu Yanli exclaid, her body shivering as if struck by electricity.
Alard, Chen Mo wanted to withdraw his hand, but the act rather beca the final straw.
Chu Yanli’s waist suddenly arched, clutching his arm tightly, her fair mouth biting into his shoulder, emitting a wailing sob, eyes losing focus.
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.
Oops, seems I’ve accidentally hit the switch.
After five breaths, Chu Yanli cald down, and her departing soul returned to her body.
Realizing what just happened, she wished she could dig a hole and hide, hurriedly pulling the nearby blanket over herself, turning away from Chen Mo, and tremblingly said, "I, I feel much better, please leave now."
"Okay."
This was not a place to linger, so Chen Mo quickly got up and exited the room.
Hearing the door close, Chu Yanli breathed a sigh of relief.
Her cheeks were flushed, eyes moist, between her eyebrows a mix of annoyance and grievance.
"This guy must be ssing with on purpose, so embarrassing..."
"Never mind, since he’s left like this, if he doesn’t attend the groom-selection, I’ll... I’ll chop him!"
...
...
Chen Mo had just stepped out of the room when he ran into Ling Ningzhi.
Her hands were behind her, staring at her toes, looking guilty and sheepish.
"Zhi’er? What are you doing here?" Chen Mo had long known she was eavesdropping outside the door but feigned ignorance.
"This humble Daoist was worried since Lord had been inside for so long," Ling Ningzhi inquired, "How is the Princess now?"
Recalling the Golden Wet King’s breakdown, Chen Mo looked sowhat unnatural and said, "She’s stable for now and shouldn’t die anyti soon."
Chu Yanli’s reckless use of Dragon Qi caused severe damage to her organs and ridians. It’s a wonder she’s alive, given her innate talent.
To fully recover, she must be slowly nursed back; it’s a long process that can’t be rushed.
"That’s good."
Ling Ningzhi nodded, hesitating.
Seeing her hesitance, Chen Mo smilingly asked, "Do you need sothing from ?"
Ling Ningzhi lingered, face blushing, "As they say, no destruction without construction. Though this Secret Realm trip was perilous, it greatly benefited this humble Daoist, faintly touching the Grandmaster threshold. I wish to... ask Lord to help consolidate the gains, try to break through..."
Just as the words fell, Chen Mo lifted her into his arms, seriously saying, "This is important, we can’t delay; we should still have two or three hours until we reach the Capital City, let’s try to cultivate a few tis."
"Mm..."
Ling Ningzhi’s hands clutched her daoist robe hem, appearing slightly anxious.
Chen Mo checked and was startled, "Not wearing anything underneath?"
Ling Ningzhi’s eyes beca evasive, stamring, "Not much ti left, this humble Daoist thought it’d be convenient..."
Chen Mo, already stirred, couldn’t hold back, and strode toward the stairs with her in his grasp.
"Lord, you’re going the wrong way; this leads to the deck..."
"Cultivation requires the communion of heaven and earth, feeling nature, the best effects are in open-air environnts."
"Open-open air?! No way, there are others around!"
"Don’t worry, they won’t see anything..."
...
...
Two hours later.
The Flying Boat descended from the clouds, slowly landing outside Tiandu City.
Yu Hongyin and Qiao Tong erged from their rooms, heading to the upper deck.
After two days of recuperation, Yu Hongyin looked significantly better. Seeing Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi standing together, she waved with a smile, "Mr. Chen, Daoist Qingxuan, how was your rest?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Alright."
"..."
Beside him, Ling Ningzhi lowered her head, almost burying her cheeks in her chest.
Though she initiated the dual cultivation, she didn’t expect Chen Mo to be so audacious, pinning her against the deck railing... Below were fast-passing cities, above the vast sky, no cover at all, anyone coming out could see everything!
The extre tension caused her reflexive contraction, her legs now sowhat weak.
Actually, Chen Mo maintained Purple Extre Cave Heaven throughout, distorting the field, even face-to-face, making detection impossible, rely teasing her, unlocking a new experience...
"Where’s the Princess? Why hasn’t she co out yet?" Chen Mo waited for a long ti but saw no sign of Chu Yanli, becoming puzzled.
Boom—
Suddenly, a burst of golden light shot upwards, cutting through the sky, heading toward Tiandu City.
At the sa ti, a clear voice rang in his ear, "I’ll be waiting in Changning Pavilion, rember to find ."
Chen Mo smacked his lips.
After that incident, she probably felt embarrassed to show herself.
"Alright, let’s go."
"Okay."
