Bai Susu pouted, just about to take the teacup, but as soon as her fingers moved, her brow furrowed, her face turned a few shades paler, and a layer of cold sweat seeped from her forehead.
That "Light Splitting" move earlier, although imnsely powerful and killed the Smiling Face Puppet’s Lifebound Puppet in an instant, put a great burden on her ridians.
At this mont, the ridians in her entire right arm were spasming, moving even slightly was as painful as being pricked by needles.
"Why push yourself so hard?"
Chen Ye sighed, placing the teacup aside, then naturally reached out, grasping her slightly trembling fair wrist.
"What nonsense are you spouting! What pushing hard! Where did this True Inheritor push hard..."
Bai Susu’s body stiffened, instinctively wanting to withdraw her hand, her beautiful eyes widened in sha and annoyance as she glared at Chen Ye,
"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to touch ?"
"I’m an Alchemist and also a healer."
Chen Ye maintained his composure, placing his fingers on her pulse, gently infusing warm and rich Wood Elent Spiritual Power through his fingertips,
"A healer treats patients with a parental heart, in their eyes there are only patients, no gender boundaries."
"Moreover..."
Chen Ye raised his eyelids, looking at the stunning girl just inches away, giving a teasing smile:
"True Inheritor Bai is my backing. If this arm of yours is rendered useless, who will protect in the future? How will I continue to freeload comfortably?"
"..."
Hearing such shaless words about freeloading, Bai Susu’s previously pale cheeks flushed with a crimson hue, unsure if it was from anger or embarrassnt,
"You, you, you... What freeloading! Do you think... think..."
When she reached this point, Bai Susu opened her mouth, utterly too embarrassed to continue.
How infuriating!
She, Bai Susu, was not like those shaless old heads of the sect, spending Spirit Stones and resources to keep young, pretty female disciples...
Wait a mont...
It dawned on Bai Susu that her relationship with Chen Ye seed sowhat similar to that.
As Chen Ye’s Spiritual Power, filled with the essence of life and decay, flowed in, the burning pain in her ridians miraculously eased.
The sensation was like a tily rain after a long drought.
Her tense body involuntarily relaxed.
"Hmm? True Inheritor Bai, is there sothing you wish to say? I was rely ntioning that True Inheritor Bai is my backing." Chen Ye asked knowingly.
"Hmph... slick talker."
Bai Susu turned her head away, no longer struggling, allowing Chen Ye to hold her wrist, though her tone lacked conviction,
"If not for your sowhat decent dical skills, I’d definitely punish you for disrespect."
Chen Ye chuckled, allowing the conversation to drop there.
He lowered his gaze, fully focusing on manipulating his Spiritual Power to gently comb through her chaotic ridians.
The room fell silent for a mont.
The curling blue smoke from the incense burner, mixed with the unique fragrance of the girl, flowed through the air.
It was uncertain how much ti passed.
Bai Susu felt the pain in her arm had mostly dissipated, and she covertly turned her head, observing the focused expression and distinct profile of Chen Ye.
Hmph.
His dical skills weren’t too bad, he could serve her well in the future.
"Chen Ye."
Bai Susu suddenly spoke, her voice sowhat low.
"Hmm?" Chen Ye didn’t lift his head, "What? Did I hurt you?"
"No."
Bai Susu pursed her lips, hesitating for a mont before pretending to nonchalantly ask:
"Your three disciples... seem to be quite hostile towards ?"
Chen Ye’s hand paused slightly.
He raised his head, looking into Bai Susu’s seemingly calm amber eyes, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
What does this an?
Keep in mind,
Bai Susu was indeed the Chaos Demon King, known for having an eccentric and nasty temperant.
If she found out about the disciples’ attitude, who knows what she might do!
Even Bai Susu couldn’t bully his disciples!
"How could that be?"
Chen Ye imdiately switched to an extrely sincere expression, declaring confidently:
"They are just overwheld by the True Inheritor Bai’s exceptional charm and powerful cultivation! It’s awe and admiration! Where is the hostility?"
"Young girls, when they see a celestial figure descend to the mortal world, tend to overreact a bit."
"A celestial figure descending?"
Bai Susu was taken aback for a mont, then couldn’t help but let the corners of her lips curve up slightly, although she quickly restrained it, much of the frustration in her eyes dissipated.
"Nonsensical talk."
She lightly snorted, withdrawing her hand, though scolding with her words, her mood had evidently improved greatly.
Indeed.
She was the number one prodigy of the Lingyin Sect, were those three little brats not expected to be dumbfounded upon seeing her?
Forget it.
On normal days, I should bring them better things more often. Sooner or later, she wants these three girls to revolve around her!
Thinking of this,
Bai Susu was already contemplating what gifts to prepare for Chen Ye’s apprentices.
"Alright, stop being an eyesore here. I need to channel my power to heal."
This is essentially a dismissal order.
"Understood."
Chen Ye went along compliantly, stood up, and took out a delicate jade bottle from his sleeve, placing it on the table:
"This is a pill I crafted myself. Although it can’t compare to the sect’s secret dicine, it works wonders for ridian injuries. True Inheritor Bai, rember to take it."
After speaking, he cupped his hands in salute, turned, and retreated.
Upon walking out the door, the night wind blew.
Chen Ye touched his back.
Goodness gracious.
It was all sweat.
Having served the younger one, now serving the elder.
Moreover,
the key is,
the younger doesn’t dare offend him, but the elder not only dares to offend, but also oppresses him!
"It seems tonight’s sleep will be uneasy."
Chen Ye glanced at the sky, returning to his quiet chamber for cultivation.
Since the night is long, with no intention of sleeping.
Might as well...
First, let’s see what treasures are in Li Min’s storage bag.
Especially the Blood Soul Banner swallowed by the Hidden Dark Aperture.
Previously,
his flying sword couldn’t gain the upper hand against Li Min largely because of this Blood Soul Banner!
...
Inside the quiet chamber, the candlelight flickered dimly.
Chen Ye first took out the eerie white skull bell.
At this ti, the bell’s surface was glowing with a layer of blood-colored halo.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a small flag floating within the bell.
Initially, when Li Min was alive, the small flag struggled wildly inside the Hidden Dark Aperture, nearly beyond Chen Ye’s control.
If it lasted a little longer, Li Min could have regained control of the Blood Soul Banner, and not only that, but Chen Ye would also suffer backlash.
"Though this treasure is good, it’s not invincible. I must be cautious when using it in the future."
Chen Ye pondered. This was his first ti using the Hidden Dark Aperture and he nearly miscalculated.
He gently flicked the bell with his finger.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound echoed, and the blood light on the bell’s surface trembled, then spat out a smaller blood-colored flag.
It was precisely that Second Tier, Upper Grade magical treasure, the Blood Soul Banner.
Chen Ye extended his hand, enveloped his palm with spiritual power, and carefully grasped the flagpole.
A cold, bloodthirsty divine thought instantly tried to infiltrate his ridians through his palm, attempting to counter the new master.
"Hmph, can’t rest even in death."
Chen Ye snorted coldly, his brow’s sword mark flashed, and a vast divine sense surged out, directly cleansing the lingering masterless resentnt.
With the original owner’s imprint removed, the Blood Soul Banner finally cald down.
Chen Ye carefully examined this infamous demonic artifact.
The treasure’s defense could be considered top-notch; under a boundless blood sea, even Bai Susu’s flying sword would be restrained.
Unfortunately,
it requires the cooperation of blood path secret techniques to wield.
"It’s indeed a good item, but I am a legitimate cultivator, not practicing the blood path... moreover, this was Li Min’s lifebound magical treasure, powerful under Li Min’s blood path skills, but in another’s hands, it lacks the might it had before."
Chen Ye sighed as he stored the Blood Soul Banner safely, his gaze falling on the storage bag.
After a brief check,
The bag’s resources are roughly valued at fourteen thousand spirit stones. Originally, Chen Ye spent only twelve thousand spirit stones purchasing the magical treasure for Jin’er.
Now,
Chen Ye’s assets have reached a massive twenty thousand spirit stones!
Additionally, in the corner of the storage bag.
Chen Ye discovered an inconspicuous black token.
The token was neither tal nor jade, ice-cold to the touch, with a fierce ghost head engraved on the front and two ancient words — Duqing — on the reverse.
It contained a weak Divine Thought voice transmission.
"...Li Min, this ti assassinating Bai Susu must succeed, not fail. Once accomplished, the Sect Master permits you one day in the Transformational Blood Pool, earning a bottle of Divine Son’s essence blood..."
