One person established a clan

Chapter 152 Pitiful

After putting away the communication jade, Su Cheng felt somewhat relieved.

With Lü Hongxi overseeing Dongchen, he could finally relax and have fewer worries when exploring the secret realm in the future.

As I was deep in thought, I suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon me.

Looking to the side, one could see that Shi Xuan had already manifested his soul form and was sitting quietly to one side.

She was still dressed in an elaborate fairy dress, as elegant and otherworldly as a snow lotus, but her jade-like face carried a hint of reproach.

When their eyes met, she softly hummed, "Shall we stay here for the night, or find somewhere else to go?"

"Stay for one night."

Su Cheng casually took off his outer robe: "I have already asked the shopkeeper to find a detailed map, it will take some time."

As they were talking, he suddenly smiled and said, "I thought you were going to bring up Senior Sister Lü's matter."

Shi Xuan turned his face away: "Of course I can tell what's important and what's urgent. Huh?"

Before she could finish speaking, her fair wrist was grasped, and she was pulled into a warm embrace.

She was stunned for a moment, feeling the familiar warmth of his chest. Her previously cool face flushed red, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"You, what are you doing?"

"You always think of me first, so I should make it up to you."

Hearing the gentle whispers in his ear, Shi Xuan felt a warmth in his heart, and his expression gradually softened.

She had just raised her pretty face as if to speak when her cherry lips were suddenly sealed shut.

"Ugh?!"

Shi Xuanbing's eyes widened, and in an instant, they welled up with tears, her emotions rippling outwards like waves.

After the kiss ended, she breathed heavily to calm herself, and then heard Su Cheng say in a low voice, "After thinking it over, dual cultivation is still the most appropriate."

"Wait, wait, why are you doing such lewd things again? Ugh~"

Before her delicate protest could end, her lips were firmly held in her mouth again.

Shi Xuan's forced aloofness gradually melted away, and she couldn't help but let out soft moans. Her wide, silk sleeves slid down her snow-white skin, and her jade-like arms unconsciously wrapped around the back of her neck.
Su Cheng's heart pounded, his palm caressed and wandered, finally hooking the soft crook of her leg.

"woo"

Amidst the fluttering snowflakes, he carried Shi Xuan and turned to walk towards the bed.

After the two rolled into the brocade quilt, the gauze curtains fell silently.
Before long, the puppet also got up, loosened her silk robe, hooked the sash, and with hazy eyes, slipped into the tent.

As night deepened, the sounds inside the tent gradually subsided.

"call"

Shi Xuan lay on his side on the couch, his fair skin flushed with a lingering redness, and his expression was slightly tired and weary.

With her disheveled white hair and glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, she looked pitiful, as if she had been bullied.

"That jerk, he's always bullying me."

Shi Xuan blushed, bit her lip, and curled up her fair legs.

It wasn't like this when we were in the grotto, so why is it like this now?
She glanced shyly at the puppet beside her and found that its body was even more 'horrible' to look at, it was almost being bullied to tears.

"Xuan'er."

Su Cheng's gentle voice came from outside the bed curtains. "Your clothes are all packed, so you can rest easy."

Shi Xuan's delicate body trembled again as she gazed at the tall figure outside the tent, her eyes filled with shy sweetness.

"Aren't you going to come in and rest?"

"Let me get some fresh air and calm down."

A soft laugh came from outside the tent: "It saves me the trouble of both of you."

Shi Xuan pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, too shy to reply as he recalled the passionate lingering moments before.

She simply watched Su Cheng go to the window to drink tea and admire the moon, her eyes shimmering as if she were in a trance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Twenty years of spiritual practice have been like a dusty, rainy night, spent in a daze.

In a daze, I was just like a puppet, cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating again.

I knew nothing of emotions or human nature. Only after meeting him did I realize how deeply I was etched in his memory.

Like the breaking of dawn, painting the night with color. Even though our time together has been short, I've already become inseparable from this warm sunshine. I'm willing to walk this path for the rest of my life.
"Idiot."

Shi Xuan murmured shyly as she shrank into the brocade quilt, a sweet smile on her lips.

As soon as he refined the intense heat within him, a hazy drowsiness quickly overwhelmed him, and he drifted off to sleep in a daze.

Su Cheng sat alone by the window, wearing a robe, sipping tea and exhaling slowly.

He caught a glimpse of two beautiful figures inside the bed curtains out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

[Shi Xuan (Soul)] [Emotional Status: Shy and Sweet, Full of Longing] [Soul Status: Overflowing Soul Power]

[Summit: Ten] [Rising Tide: Eighteen]

[Shi Xuan (physical body)] [Emotional state: None] [Physical state: Full of energy]

[Dantian Connection: Four] [Peak Ascent: Ten] [Tide Rising: Eighteen]

He had not expected that the strengthening effect of that 'Yin Yang Inner Classic' life star would be so amazing, and it had indeed given Shi Xuan and the puppet quite a hard time.

Looking at the densely packed status messages, Su Cheng felt somewhat embarrassed.

I was really too carried away tonight. Fortunately, Xuan'er is also physically strong and didn't hurt her.
"Ok?"

With a slight shift of his gaze, he saw another system screen. However, after seeing its contents, he reluctantly turned it off.

"How come even the sum is included?"

What's even more ridiculous is that every part is categorized in great detail.

If Xuan'er saw this, he would probably be so embarrassed and angry that he would punch him a few times.

"Will this aspect become more detailed when the Immortal Sect's level is upgraded in the future?"

As he pondered this, Su Cheng's expression suddenly hardened.

Sensing a presence quietly approaching the inn, he quickly dressed and went outside, waiting quietly by the railing.

Before long, the sect leader of Lingshan Sect ascended the tower alone. Seeing Su Cheng already waiting, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, Young Master Su."

"Just say what you need to say."

Seeing his straightforwardness, the Lingshan Sect Master finally smiled and took out an ancient-looking key from his sleeve.

"Have you heard of the recent turmoil in the Kingdom of Baichuan?"

"I was new here and didn't notice anything."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow: "What does this have to do with the key in your hand?"

“The ‘Secret Treasure of a Hundred Rivers’ has been revealed, and this item is one of the credentials for opening it.”

With a smile on his face, the sect leader of Lingshan began to recount: "A thousand years ago, the Baichuan Kingdom was once extremely prosperous, but it declined sharply because a certain emperor sealed all the treasures of the national treasury in his tomb in his later years."

Even the Imperial Seal of the State was taken into secrecy, leading to the later saying that "whoever obtains the Imperial Seal will obtain the throne."

Su Cheng looked strange upon hearing this.

How could there be such an absurd emperor?
"The Crown Prince invited me this morning, precisely for this matter."

The sect leader of Lingshan shook his head and smiled, "He is usually calm and composed, but the news of the secret treasure's appearance has spread recently, and the Imperial Seal has made him restless and unable to eat or sleep, hence his agitation and loss of composure."

Su Cheng narrowed his eyes: "So, the sect leader contacted me late at night because he wanted to..."

"I am not affiliated with the Crown Prince's faction; I only seek a capable assistant."

The sect leader of Lingshan Sect said calmly, "It is said that the secret treasure is fraught with danger, and I would like to invite you, young master, to accompany me to break the formation. If you encounter any treasures during the journey, you may take them at will."

"Is the royal treasure truly meant to be touched by outsiders?"

"The capable shall obtain it."

The sect leader of Lingshan smiled and presented the key: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the liberty of coming to ask for your help."

Su Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are there any spiritual veins around that secret place?"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Lingshan was slightly taken aback: "This Hundred Rivers Secret Treasury is located in a geomantically auspicious place, so it must indeed exist."

"it is good."

Su Cheng casually picked up the keys: "I'll take on this task."
