One person established a clan

Chapter 281 A Mature Woman's Warm Heart
The two were silent for a while.

Su Cheng put away the system light screen and, with a forced smile, raised the jade ring on his finger.

"Senior, it seems this ring has caused quite a few misunderstandings."

"It doesn't matter."

Duanmu Jing tilted her head slightly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks, her wide sleeve lightly covering her lips. "I didn't take it to heart."

Just now, I clearly felt a fleeting, indescribable flutter in my heart.

As if her soul had been stirred by something invisible, she vaguely sensed a premonition of forming a wondrous bond with the handsome man before her.
When did this mental discipline develop such strange effects?

"This ring is a testament to our initial acquaintance; you may wear it with peace of mind."

She composed herself, suppressing the strange tingling sensation in her heart, and changed the subject calmly: "I wonder how your two companions are progressing in their cultivation?"

"It went relatively smoothly, but I'm afraid it will take another day or two before we can leave the pass."

Su Cheng's expression was slightly subtle.

I remembered Xiao Fu and the others saying that the person who wears this ring is the senior's sweetheart.
Seeing the other party's shy demeanor, he hesitated repeatedly but ultimately did not mention the old customs of Wenyou Mountain that were involved in the jade ring.

Even if you want to ask, let's wait until another time.
"Would it be convenient for you to take me to see it?"

Duanmu Jing calmed herself down and softened her voice again: "Perhaps I can do my bit to help."

Su Cheng nodded slightly: "Follow me."

"Hmm." Duanmu Jing's clothes fluttered as she rose into the air and slowly flew towards the turbid demon seed in the distance.

Setting aside the turmoil in her mind, she looked again at the majestic demonic flower, her eyes still filled with surprise.

This is not the first time she has encountered a demonic being in this corrupt world.

However, to cultivate to such a scale is truly unprecedented.

and also--

Her eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at the dozens of demonic figures still guarding the demonic seed.

"Did you summon these phantoms?"

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded in response. "It's one of my supernatural abilities; it can summon some demons to help me in battle."

"Truly remarkable!"

Duanmu Jing softly praised, "Such a scale of combat power is extraordinary even among the various races of the Upper Realm."

"That's ridiculous."

"However, there seems to be the aura of the Origin Heaven Dragon Ancestor within it, but its origin is unknown."

"I am acquainted with the White Dragon Ancestor, and I am grateful for her guidance and assistance. Those two illusory figures were also a gift from her."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Jing's eyes.

Although I had long heard of Su Cheng's formidable reputation, I never expected that he would have such a connection with the Origin Dragon Ancestor.

"You must cherish this opportunity."

She couldn't help but softly advise, "It's said that the Dragon Ancestor has a strange and unpredictable temperament, with a particular fondness for wine. If you can cater to his tastes..."

"Senior, don't worry."

Su Cheng chuckled and said, "I have a very good relationship with the Origin Dragon Ancestor, which is why I received her gift just now, isn't it?"

Duanmu Jing's eyes flickered, and a gentle smile bloomed on her lips. "I was overthinking it."

During their conversation, the two had already returned to the Demon Seed of the Chaotic World.

With a light wave of Su Cheng's hand, the closed magic flower bloomed, opening a passage for the two of them.

"This"

Duanmu Jing blinked her bright eyes. Although she knew that the demonic seed was under Su Cheng's control, she hadn't expected it to be so obedient.

Just how many amazing secrets does this child hold?
"arrive."

Su Cheng was the first to float down to the bottom of the lotus platform.

Duanmu Jing turned her head to look at the two lotus-shaped fleshy cocoons that were quietly burning with black flames, her eyes flickering slightly.

"They actually possess such extraordinary physiques, and one of them seems to be... the Divine Mystic Maiden of the Wen family?"

She seemed thoughtful, then smiled and looked up at me, brushing her hair aside: "It seems you not only have great fortune, but also considerable luck in love. Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly caught sight of the puppet standing silently not far away, and his expression froze.

"This seems to be the ethereal form of the girl who used to be by your side, yet it lacks a soul. What is this?"

"The reasons for this are a long story."

Su Cheng said softly, "Senior only needs to know that she is now my Daoist partner."

"Daoist companion."

Duanmu Jing's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze quietly falling on the jade hairpin in the puppet's hair.

After gazing at her for a moment, the surprise and doubt between her brows gradually dissipated, and her expression returned to one of gentleness.

"Since you have chosen me as your partner, I should prepare a gift for you once this matter is settled."

"Thank you in advance, senior."

“As an elder, it is only right to do so.” Duanmu Jing smoothed her hair and smiled, “I have also heard about your marriage to Xiao Fu, and I will certainly have to prepare a congratulatory gift for the occasion.”

Su Cheng was taken aback upon hearing this. "Senior already knows about my relationship with Xiao Fu, and now you also know that I have another Daoist partner?"

"Afraid I'll get angry with you?" Duanmu Jing gently placed her soft hand on Su Cheng's hand and patted it reassuringly: "Don't worry, I would never interfere as an elder."

After she finished speaking, her smile deepened, and a hint of doting affection flashed in her eyes.

"Besides, this is a private matter for you young people, so why should I say anything? As long as the couple is harmonious, that's all that matters."

"Ahem, thank you for your understanding, senior."

Su Cheng was somewhat unable to resist the alluring gaze in the mature woman's eyes, and subtly shifted his gaze away.

"I will never let down my Daoist wife."

"I know your character and integrity to some extent, so I'm naturally at ease."

Duanmu Jing smiled gently, her gaze turning back to the two black lotus cocoons in mid-air.

She gathered two beams of azure light at her fingertips, flicked them gently, and they transformed into streams of light that disappeared into the cocoon.

hum-

The two black cocoons trembled slightly, as if some mysterious aura was emanating from them.

Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly as he caught a glimpse of the system's light screen unfolding once more.

【Detected 'Pure Yin Qi of Heavenly Star'】

[Formed from the condensation of the Heavenly Star Essence over many years, it can help women refine their physical body, accelerate their cultivation progress, and also transform and purify their bloodline.]

"Thank you, senior."

"It was just a small favor."

"However, there is one more thing I am curious about."

Su Cheng tentatively asked, "I've heard that you have a close relationship with the ancient Nine Emperors lineage, may I ask..."

How did you learn of this?

"It was said by the Dragon Ancestor."

“No wonder.” Duanmu Jing said thoughtfully, “Thousands of years ago, my Duanmu clan did indeed share life and death with the Jiuhuang remnants, and we had a deep friendship.”

"For this reason, their last bloodline was ultimately continued by our clan, and later generations gradually called us the protectors of the Dao."

She gently raised her hand, and a mysterious spiritual light flowed and danced in her palm. "To unlock the final link of this Nine Emperors inheritance, we need the essence and spiritual energy of my Duanmu clan as a guide."

Su Cheng solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I hope that you will lend me a helping hand in the future."

Duanmu Jing dispersed the spiritual light in her palm and teased softly, "Could it be that it's for some young lady again?"

"Ahem, one of my Daoist partners is a daughter of the Eastern Morning royal family. She has now formed the Phoenix Body, but she is still somewhat lacking in the complete inheritance."

"Alright, there's no need to be so formal."

Duanmu Jing gently stroked the back of his hand again, softly comforting him: "I have also heard about the matter of this princess. Don't worry, I will definitely go to help her in the future."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior." Su Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This senior, Duanmu, is not only exceptionally handsome but also gentle and approachable, making one feel truly comfortable and at ease in his company.

"You seem to still have something on your mind."

Duanmu Jing said softly, "You don't need to be reserved in front of me, just speak freely."

"To be honest, I would also like to ask you, senior, about my mother."

Su Cheng was about to ask for details when he noticed Duanmu Jing's gaze suddenly fixate on a certain spot on his chest, seemingly lost in thought, muttering to herself:

"It really was you."

"senior?"

Your mother is still alive.

Duanmu Jing suddenly whispered, "I haven't fully recovered yet, so I can't come back to see you in my original form for the time being."

Su Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly. "Is what you say true, senior?"

"I would not joke with you about such an important matter."

Duanmu Jing unconsciously tightened her grip on Su Cheng's hand. "Dugu is fine for now, so you don't need to worry too much. She will come back when the time is right."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Don't worry, she's safe now, she just needs time."

".That's good."

Su Cheng pondered to himself, then couldn't help but wonder, "Senior, do you know my mother?"

We have known each other for some time now.

A strange look flashed across Duanmu Jing's eyes: "More than twenty years ago, she suffered a great calamity, and it was by chance that I rescued her and sent her to a secluded place for preservation and treatment."

Su Cheng was even more surprised upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, this senior was actually my mother's savior.
"Although Dugu is unable to see you now, she entrusted me with the task of taking good care of her child if I were to find him."

At this point, Duanmu Jing pursed her lips slightly, raised her eyes to gaze at Su Cheng, and a hint of affection appeared in her eyes.

"Good child, if you have any worries in the future, feel free to come and confide in me."
