For the next few days, Sun Zhe and Su Nanzhi remained in the cave dwelling to cultivate in seclusion. They took turns absorbing the Black Kui Inner Core and never once stepped outside.
Deep within the cave flowed an underground river where large fish often swam, so the two never had to worry about food.
「This afternoon.」
Sun Zhe returned with a large, naless fish slung over his shoulder and a bouncing Sun Batian at his heels. He had just entered the main hall of the cave when he saw a strange light flashing from the stone chamber, which exuded an inexplicable, mystical aura.
"Batian, no sneaking bites. I'm going to check on your mom."
Sun Zhe hurriedly put down the large fish and, after giving Sun Batian a quick warning, strode into the stone chamber.
On the stone bed, Su Nanzhi sat cross-legged, her entire body enveloped in a haze of True Qi.
As an experienced cultivator, Sun Zhe could tell at a glance that she was on the verge of a breakthrough. So, he remained silent, sitting quietly to one side to guard her.
「After a long ti.」
Su Nanzhi opened her eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
Sun Zhe stood up and asked, "How do you feel?"
Su Nanzhi replied with a smile, "I'm at the Early Stage of the Golden Core Realm now."
Sun Zhe couldn't help but be surprised. "It's only been a few days and you've already reached the Golden Core Realm? You really live up to your title, President Su."
Hearing this, Su Nanzhi gave him a strange look. "What's the aning of that, coming from a twenty-five-year-old at the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Sun Zhe chuckled. "Just being humble, just being humble."
Su Nanzhi looked down at the Black Kui Inner Core and sighed emotionally. "I really have this Inner Core to thank. That, coupled with the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this Spirit Realm, is the only reason I could break through so quickly."
Sun Zhe nodded. "I guess Batian's birth mother had a much deeper cultivation than that giant red snake. We've been absorbing this for days and it's still not used up."
Su Nanzhi asked, "What about you? Still no breakthrough?"
Sun Zhe gave a wry smile. "Breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the next major level isn't that easy."
Su Nanzhi handed the Black Kui Inner Core to him. "Are your injuries any better? We should get going."
"No rush." Sun Zhe stared at her with a mysterious look. "Hey, Nanzhi, to celebrate your breakthrough, why don't we..."
"In your dreams, you perv!" Su Nanzhi instantly understood what the old rogue was implying. Her pretty face flushed bright red as she decisively refused him.
During their ti here, they had shared a bed every night. Sun Zhe was always trying to initiate so adult activities, but Su Nanzhi ruthlessly rejected him every single ti.
Furthermore, she would always bring Sun Batian over and place him between them as a barrier, just to prevent a certain lecher's hands from wandering.
Maybe it's because our first ti was so awful. It must have left a scar on her heart, which is why she's so resistant.
"Sigh, having my girlfriend right beside but not being able to touch her... my life is truly bitter!"
Su Nanzhi shot him a disdainful glance. "I can't even be bothered to reply to you. And can you have so sha? Who's your girlfriend? I haven't agreed to anything yet."
Sun Zhe's expression turned serious. "Girlfriend, since you don't want to roll in the sheets, then let's pack up and get going."
Su Nanzhi stretched languidly and said with a smile, "When we get back to Yang City, I'm going to sleep for days on end in my big bed."
Sun Zhe smiled. "A big bed like that must be lonely for one person. How about finding a partner to share it with?"
Su Nanzhi thought for a mont before saying, "I'll just ask my sister to sleep with ."
Sun Zhe offered an innocent smile. "In that case, rember to call . I can help you two warm the bed."
Su Nanzhi returned his smile. "Keep dreaming, then. Anything can happen in your dreams."
"..."
...
After packing up, Sun Zhe found Su Nanzhi. With her consent, he placed both her and Sun Batian into the Storage Treasure.
Over the past few days, Sun Zhe had experinted with small animals and confird that the Storage Treasure could indeed hold living creatures, so he felt it was safe to put Su Nanzhi inside.
At the entrance to the cave dwelling, Sun Zhe stood before the Black Kui's Tomb. "Sister Tiger, rest assured," he said. "I will take good care of Batian."
After speaking, he bowed in respect several tis, then spread his wings and soared into the sky.
A hundred ters up in the sky, after determining the approximate direction of the Dragon Prison Abyss's exit, Sun Zhe pushed his speed to the absolute limit.
The thought of Zhu Yan and Ye Qiao waiting for him back in Yang City filled him with a strange sense of urgency, causing him to fly even faster.
When I get back, I have to grab Yan'Er and Qiaoqiao for a battle lasting three days and three nights!
Recalling the voluptuous figures of Zhu Yan and Ye Qiao, Sun Zhe couldn't help his mind from wandering, wishing he could just teleport straight ho.
But just as he was fantasizing about how he would 'deal with' Zhu Yan and Ye Qiao upon his return, a sudden sense of inexplicable danger surged up from behind him.
He whipped his head around and was shocked to see a hairpin! It glowed with a red light as it sliced ferociously through the air toward him.
Sun Zhe didn't dare to hesitate for a second, imdiately sidestepping to dodge it.
He didn't need to think to know that this had to be the seductive Priest's hairpin, which was presumably so kind of Magical Treasure!
Those people must have been staking out the cave dwelling for the past few days, just waiting for to erge.
Sun Zhe watched the hairpin fly off into the distance. Unexpectedly, in the very next mont, he witnessed a bizarre scene: the hairpin arced through the air and ca speeding back toward him again!
Faintly, he seed to sll a delicate fragrance. An illusion of the Exquisite Demoness flashed before his eyes, and the Yang Qi in his body began to stir uncontrollably.
Damn it! This thing is more complex than I thought!
Cursing internally, Sun Zhe didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced, summoning his longsword from his ring and slashing out with it.
However, his sword strike t only empty air. The hairpin dodged automatically as if it were sentient.
Sun Zhe didn't want to waste ti on a hairpin, so he spread his wings and flew in a different direction.
But the hairpin pursued him relentlessly.
However, Sun Zhe was confident in his own speed. No matter how fast the hairpin was, it couldn't possibly outpace his Yin Yang Wings.
Besides, he refused to believe this thing could just keep chasing him forever.
However, he had been too naive.
After nearly half an hour of pursuit, the hairpin showed no signs of giving up. No matter how he twisted, turned, or dodged, it simply maintained a constant distance from him.
The hairpin couldn't catch him, but he couldn't shake it off, either.
Damn it, has this hairpin beco sentient?
Sun Zhe knew that prolonging this chase was a losing ga. He would exhaust his True Qi long before the hairpin ran out of energy. He made a decision: he would land and deal with this damned pest once and for all!
With this in mind, Sun Zhe folded his wings and dived toward the ground. The mont his feet touched down, he leaped back up, twisting in mid-air to slash at the pursuing hairpin.
With a light DING, his sword struck the hairpin, knocking it to the ground. It trembled a few tis and then fell still.
"Phew!" Sun Zhe let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his brow. Staring at the exquisite hairpin on the ground, he muttered, "That was a real pain in the ass."
He walked over, picked up the hairpin, and examined it closely. He discovered True Qi flowing from it and noticed mysterious runes inscribed upon its surface.
Just as he was observing it, the hairpin in his hand suddenly trembled. It unleashed a powerful force that ripped it from his grasp, and it vanished into the dense forest in an instant.
The next mont, the bewitching voice of the Exquisite Demoness echoed through the air. "Little boy, not just any man is allowed to touch my hairpin, you know."
Sun Zhe's expression hardened, and he imdiately grew vigilant. She'll spread her legs for any random man, but I can't even touch a hairpin?
"Your Ladyship's thods are truly impressive."
The Demoness's charming laughter echoed from the void. "I have many more thods up my sleeve. Would you like to experience their pleasures firsthand? I guarantee I'll make you feel an ecstasy beyond your wildest dreams."
