One person established a clan

Chapter 166 A Naïve and Enigmatic World
The girl's figure was unexpectedly voluptuous and graceful.

Just by holding her like this, you can feel the surging waves of emotion.

The five fingers, resting on the body, felt as if sinking into solidified jade, with a touch like a ripe peach.

"."

Su Cheng calmed himself down and did not act rashly.

Once her body had stopped trembling, he whispered, "Are you feeling better now?"

".Um."

Flo kept her head buried against his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you for saving me, Uncle."

As she spoke, her youthful face, hidden among her dark hair, was flushed with a blush, and her eyes sparkled.

The two embraced tightly, feeling no aversion whatsoever, but rather a sense of peace.

The excruciating pain that had previously felt like my soul was being torn apart has now transformed into a gentle stream of warmth, making my body and mind feel exceptionally at ease.

"."

Flora's eyes lowered, her mind wandering.

I've only known this person for a short time, so why am I getting closer and closer to him?

Is it because she grew up lonely and rarely met a reliable elder, that she truly regarded him as an uncle or an older brother, or...?
"The foul air inside the grotto has dissipated. Would you like to come down and take a walk?"

"Thank you, Uncle. Hmm~"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a soft moan, her body stiffening as if she had been electrocuted.

She hurriedly released her jade-like legs from his waist and pushed her chest back two steps.

After staggering to her feet, Flora covered her buttocks with one hand and glared at her, her face flushed with embarrassment:
Where...where are you touching?

"I was thinking of having more physical contact to help you channel your soul energy."

Su Cheng's lips twitched slightly: "I just pressed it on wherever it was thicker."

Flora bit her lip tightly, and even her snow-white neck turned crimson.

After several attempts to speak, she finally let out a shy and angry sigh: "Uncle is really... lewd!"

After scolding her, she seemed to deflate, glancing at their still tightly clasped hands, her rapid breathing gradually calming down.

Su Cheng smiled helplessly and said, "I was being presumptuous just now."

"."

Flo was silent for a moment, then her tone softened slightly: "It's not entirely your fault."

She sighed softly, "It's because of my special constitution; I shouldn't have been so willful and blaming. I was a bit out of line just now; I hope Uncle won't be angry."

Su Cheng was quite surprised; he hadn't expected her to be so sensible and considerate.

"Alright, let's go back quickly." Flora approached unsteadily, her head bowed. "Practicing is the priority."

Although her fluffy black hair covered her face, it revealed two bright red ear tips, which looked rather cute.

Su Cheng gave her a deep look, then turned and returned to the cave.

But the bones on the dragon throne had turned to dust and were being scattered by the wind.

"It seems to be the foul air from earlier."

"I've only been in seclusion for a short while, and you're already embracing and hugging this woman."

A soft sigh suddenly rang in my ears.

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and chuckled inwardly, "Woke up so early?"

“I naturally noticed the sudden burst of intense dragon energy.”

Shi Xuan paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just that this girl has a special constitution and has been through some trauma. I'll help her recover."

"constitution?"

"Is it called 'Netherworld Entering the Holy Body'? In any case, it makes one susceptible to the influence of soul power?"

"If that's the case, then you should cherish it." Shi Xuan's tone suddenly hardened: "You should spend more time with her; you're sure to gain a lot."

"I've already gained quite a bit."

Su Cheng was about to ask for details when he heard Shi Xuan softly instruct, "I'll go back and study the method for breaking through to the next realm first. You can continue your cultivation. However..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, seemingly embarrassed and annoyed, "If you really can't stand it, then go and torment my body, don't go and ruin other girls."

Su Cheng: “.”

Her mind returned to silence; she had clearly gone into seclusion once more.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the puppet accompanying him. As if sensing his gaze, the puppet tilted its head blankly.

"What's wrong?" Flora asked softly.

"It's nothing." Su Cheng returned to the dragon head.

[Absorbing the resentful dragon's turbid energy: Ten years]

Fortunately, the dragon energy in the dragon vein was not completely polluted, otherwise it would have been difficult to deal with.

Once the palm is placed on the dragon's head, pure dragon energy is continuously drawn out.

[Currently absorbing and purifying the dragon energy from all rivers.]

After a while, the essence of the dragon vein transformed into a ray of spiritual light and condensed in his palm, which Su Cheng then stored temporarily in the Immortal Sect's space.

“I will help you purify the filth and resentment in the dragon vein, and then take some of the dragon marrow. That will settle things even.”

Satisfied, Su Cheng withdrew his hand and led Fu Luo back to the dragon throne.

"Uncle, are you done with your training?"

"almost."

Su Cheng picked up the book again and chuckled, "It's a good opportunity to see what other mysteries this Dragon Tomb Secret Realm holds." After reading several volumes of ancient books, Su Cheng closed the book and sighed deeply, his expression becoming slightly solemn.

Aside from the decades-long power struggle between the man and the dragon, the origin of this Hundred Rivers Secret Treasury is almost identical to what the white dragon said.

When Emperor Baichuan was choosing a burial site, he discovered a dragon's tomb and made a deal with the still-weak white dragon.

The White Dragon seeks to seize the opportunity to reunite with his soul and be reborn, while the Emperor of Baichuan wants to use the remaining dragon energy of the Xuanqing Dragon Clan to extend the Baichuan Kingdom's national fortune for another thousand years.

Ultimately, it's all because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually depleting.

Both the Emperor of Baichuan and this white dragon sought to understand the reason behind it.

But the conclusions all pointed to the existence of the 'Dark Domain'.

"Xiao Fu, how much do you know about the Dark Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Flora, who was also browsing through ancient books, trembled slightly, paused for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this place is located in the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm, otherwise it might have attracted trouble."

Seeing her reaction, Su Cheng raised an eyebrow: "You are also wary of the Dark Domain?"

"The Dark Realm has been a forbidden place since ancient times."

Flora closed the book in her hand and sighed softly: "Even with Wen Youshan's abilities, he would not dare to provoke the Dark Domain easily, so he would avoid it if possible."

She paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "As for the interior of the Dark Domain, it is also a world, just like the human world, with many forces entrenched there."

Su Cheng's gaze sharpened: "Could this be related to the depletion of spiritual energy in this world?"

"Most of it is just speculation."

Flora shook her head slightly: "There is still no conclusive evidence."

Su Cheng secretly regretted it, but stopped dwelling on it.

His gaze swept around and saw not only piles of documents, but also many magical treasures scattered everywhere.

"The Imperial Seal?"

He immediately spotted the emerald green dragon seal in the corner. It faintly exuded a dragon's aura, suggesting it was used to nurture the dragon vein.

"Uncle, come closer."

Flo suddenly spoke urgently, which made Su Cheng look at her with suspicion.

She led him to a corner of the cave, where he was astonished to find a square piece of black wood deeply embedded in the stone wall. "This is..."

"The Netherworld Treasure Mirror!"

A hint of joy flashed in Flora's eyes: "It really was hidden here!"

She made a gesture with her fingers, and the black wood trembled, flew out of the crevice, and landed in her palm.

Su Cheng was slightly curious: "Is this thing very powerful?"

"Although it is not particularly attractive, it is a top-tier treasure among the Spirit Profound grade."

Flora raised the corners of her lips slightly: "When activated, it can transform into the Netherworld, and even turn a radius of a hundred feet into Netherworld soil, driving ten thousand souls within ten miles to serve one's own purposes."

She turned to look at the now empty dragon throne. "This place has remained untouched by the dragon's spirit for centuries, likely thanks to the protection of this object."

Su Chengxin understood. No wonder the White Dragon had allowed Emperor Baichuan to reside here for so long.
"Uncle, what are your plans next?"

Flora put the treasure mirror into her bosom: "I have obtained the treasure of Youshan, and the dragon vein is also here. Should we go and search for other treasures?"

"Let's rest here; it'll provide shelter from the desert sands."

With a thought, purple lightning and black mist instantly spread from beneath Su Cheng's feet, extending beyond the cave.

Dozens of illusory figures appeared in formation, kneeling on one knee in salute.

"Disperse to various parts of the Dragon Tomb and retrieve all the rare and precious materials you find."

The illusory figures respectfully accepted the order and vanished in an instant, turning into afterimages.

"."

Flora was still alarmed by the scene. The cultivation levels of these illusory figures were all formidable.

She turned her head to look at him and said softly, "Uncle, aren't you going yourself?"

"I won't take you around anymore."

Su Cheng chuckled: "It would be good to rest here for a few days."

Flora's beautiful eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, softly humming in agreement: "Thank you, Uncle."

As she relaxed, she realized that her whole body was weak and limp, and her legs were trembling slightly under her robe.

He had been in so much pain that he was covered in a cold sweat, his clothes were stuck to the lining, and a lot of sand and dust had gotten into his robes.

Moreover, while she was enduring the tingling sensation throughout her body, her skirt and trousers were slightly damp, making her feel even more uncomfortable and unwell inside the thick robe.

Flora instinctively wanted to suggest washing up and changing, but when she caught sight of their still tightly clasped hands, her expression froze.

Oh, right, we can't let go here.
"."

Flora pursed her lips tightly, lowered her head, and silently endured.

She kept reminding herself that she was no longer a willful and capricious young lady, and that she could not be pretentious in front of her uncle.

Even those with obsessive-compulsive disorder must exercise restraint.
"This place is quite spacious. I brought my camp supplies and will tidy them up a bit so that it won't be too shabby."

Just as Su Cheng was about to put away the scrolls and magical treasures around him, he suddenly felt the soft hand in his palm growing colder.

Looking to the side, I saw Flora with her head down, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing," Flora's voice trembled slightly, "just a little..."

She hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered, "Uncle, could you allow me to change my clothes?"
