I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 553 No, I still need to learn from Young Master Li! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Hua Rumeng was determined to learn swordsmanship, or rather, to break through to a higher level.

After giving birth, she returned to the Hundred Flowers Sect against her husband's wishes. In fact, she felt very guilty for not being able to serve her husband and always valued correspondence with her family.

"My wife is like a dream. Over the years, I have been highly valued by the King of Qinglin. Now I have been appointed as the Prime Minister of Qinglin. I wonder if my wife's Hundred Flowers Sect is thriving?"
If his wife shows no improvement, she may return home to recuperate. The Hundred Flowers Sect will send people to take care of her, and he will also request the strong support of King Qinglin!

The contents of the letter disappointed Hua Rumeng, who was already very strong-willed. She had thought it was her husband's concern, but it turned out he wanted her to go back.

It wouldn't be difficult for her husband to inquire about the current situation of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

The implication was clear: your sect isn't doing well, so you might as well stay home and be a caged bird. I'll get the Azure Scale Empire to give your sect strong support, and it will definitely be better managed and developed than yours!
Under her years of management, the Hundred Flowers Sect was actually one of the strongest among the many small sects. However, due to the lack of "top-notch" combat power, it failed to advance to the ranks of top small sects.

Don't underestimate the Heavenly Abyss Realm. As long as there is one Heavenly Abyss Realm cultivator, this sect can establish itself in the local area.

Saint Realm experts are all from legendary sects; even the Tian Ce Dynasty doesn't have many.

How could Hua Rumeng, who had suffered a series of blows, bear this?
You think I can't achieve anything? Well, I'll show you!

In the past, Hua Ru would never have dared to dream of such a thing, but things are different now. He Ying, who has always been lazy about cultivation and whose cultivation aptitude is not as good as hers, was able to advance to the Heavenly Abyss Realm under Li Chen's guidance, so why can't she?

Because of He Ying's preconceived notions, she originally thought that Li Chen would take the opportunity to grope her while instructing her, but after these days of interaction, she had already concluded that it was all a lie made up by He Ying.

Li Chen is exceptionally talented, humble, and humorous. How could he be so incompetent?
Hua Rumeng had an idea in mind, and immediately said to the disciple beside her, "Go and dig out the Daughter Red wine that I've buried for more than ten years."

"Sect Leader, wasn't that what you prepared for Miss's wedding? Could it be that Miss is getting married? That would be a great joy for our Hundred Flowers Sect!" The disciple was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.

Hua Rumeng raised an eyebrow slightly, without turning her head: "Just go when I tell you to. Why all the fuss?"

After finishing a day's trivial matters at the sect, Hua Rumeng, dressed in a white strapless high-slit ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with her long, flowing hair tied into a bun, and holding a bottle of Daughter's Red wine, knocked on Li Chen's courtyard gate.

"Sect Leader Hua, didn't my young master say that you don't need to be polite when you arrive, just go directly to him?" Xuan Ji opened the door with a surprised look on her face.

Upon seeing the wine jar in the other person's hand, Xuanji smiled and said, "Sect Leader Hua, is there something you need from me?"

Hua Rumeng felt her thoughts had been exposed, and a slight blush rose on her usually composed face. She forced herself to nod, suppressing her embarrassment.

When asking for help, one should act accordingly. Li Chen, a disciple of a high-ranking sect, could only admire the rare and precious spiritual treasures that Hua Rumeng, a small sect, could not afford. Therefore, Hua Rumeng directly ordered people to dig out the Daughter's Red wine that she had carefully brewed years ago.

"Sect Leader Hua, your arrival is just in time. My young master is drinking in the courtyard." Xuan Ji smiled as she took the wine jar and led Hua Rumeng into the courtyard. Then, in front of Hua Rumeng, she opened the Daughter's Red wine jar and poured the clear and fragrant wine into Li Chen's wine cup.

After taking a sip, Li Chen gently swirled the wine in his glass, nodded, and said, "The main ingredient is spirit rice, which is fermented with thousand-year-old osmanthus flowers. Sweet spirit spring water is used for brewing, and the wine is then aged underground for more than ten years. Sect Master Hua has truly put a lot of thought into this. Please have a seat."

Hua Rumeng's eyes reddened instantly upon hearing this, but she quickly suppressed them.

Even when her husband was questioning him, Li Chen actually agreed to her request without asking why, knowing that she had something to ask for. This feeling of being understood and even cared for was something she, who was already strong-willed, had never experienced before.

"Young Master Li, I... I wish to break through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm and would like to trouble you to give me some guidance." Hua Rumeng's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Want to break through to the Heavenly Abyss Realm?" Li Chen frowned slightly, quietly examining the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing Li Chen's appearance, Hua Rumeng was afraid that he would refuse, so she knelt down on the ground with her knees buckling: "I beg you, Young Master Li, to help me. I am willing to pay any price!" Li Chen sighed slightly: "It's not that I don't want to help Sect Leader Hua, but breaking through a realm is not like palm techniques and sword techniques, which can be imitated in form."

It requires me to use secret techniques to guide the spiritual energy within the meridians, and there is absolutely no room for error.

Even the slightest obstruction of clothing can affect judgment; setting aside the differences between men and women, this would also damage your reputation!

This was an opportunity delivered right to his doorstep, and Li Chen certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

Don't think I'll be so nonchalant today, after all these days without taking any action.

But let's get this straight, I'm not lying to you.

Hua Rumeng could no longer contain her emotions, and said with a firm expression, "No, that is the necessary path to becoming stronger!"

In Hua Rumeng's eyes, Li Chen was always thinking of her, and she even felt guilty for believing her best friend's words and treating Li Chen as a pervert.

"In that case, Sect Leader Hua, please come with me," Li Chen sighed softly.

You said it yourself, so Li Chen won't hold back.

These past few days, He Ying has been helping you solve your problems; now it's your turn.

Li Chen had been holding back for many days, constantly 'warming up' with such a beautiful woman in front of him, and today he was finally going to get to eat her.

Hua Rumeng nodded, then strode after Li Chen into the house.

Soon, a slightly shy and questioning voice came from inside the room: "Does Young Master Li also have acupoints on his chest?" "Do we really need to rub them?" "Didn't we agree not to go inside?"

Nothing happened that night. As the morning light spread across the earth, Hua Rumeng limped out of the courtyard gate.

After a night of instruction, she not only gained a great deal in swordsmanship, but also broke through the bottleneck that had held her back for more than ten years and became a powerful expert in the Heavenly Abyss Realm. More importantly, she also experienced a deeper level of joy that she had never experienced before!

"Oh? My Hua Rumeng has already become a Heavenly Abyss Realm expert!" He Ying, who was carrying breakfast back, caught sight of Hua Rumeng and gave her best friend's butt another brutal hit without any hesitation.

Hua Rumeng, already badly injured, winced in pain, gritting her teeth as she tried to teach He Ying a lesson. However, she discovered that He Ying had deliberately displayed strength that had reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, which was far beyond her ability to fight against, given that she had just entered the Heavenly Abyss Realm and was already injured.

"You little brat, I'll definitely spank your ass in a few days!" Hua Rumeng covered her shapely buttocks and deliberately kept a distance from He Ying before daring to hurl her venom at her from afar.

"Tch, you were always the one who bullied me when we were kids, now it's my turn!" He Ying made a face, shaking her pink fist without a care in the world, and skipped into the yard as soon as she finished speaking.

Hua Rumeng felt a tickle in her teeth. No, she had to continue asking Young Master Li for advice!
I'm not after that kind of fleeting pleasure. I'm after leading the sect to a higher level to prove my worth to my husband, and incidentally teach that smug little brat He Ying a lesson!

Yes, that's right! Even He Ying, whose cultivation talent is inferior to mine, can make rapid progress under Young Master Li's guidance. If I continue to be guided by Young Master Li every day, wouldn't I have a chance to break through to the Saint Realm?

Since there's already a first time, a second or even a hundredth time doesn't seem to matter much.

Having made up her mind, Hua Rumeng felt that the future was bright.
