Chapter 303 A Beauty's Pampering

After learning about many past events, Su Cheng couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.

"My mother has really done a lot of amazing things."

“Yes.” Duanmu Jing smiled. “Although she is heartless and emotionless, she acted solely in accordance with the will of Heaven and would not stand idly by and watch millions of lives perish in the disaster.”

"But what great terror lies within the Five Desolate Regions?"

Shi Xuan asked softly, "Is it enough to threaten the Twelve Star Heavens, causing Granny to go to such lengths?"

"The secrets within are known only to her when she was the Emperor of the Five Desolations."

Duanmu Jing poured tea for the three of them again and said softly, "But even setting aside the terrifying mystery, the existence of the Dark Domain alone is extremely dangerous."

If left unchecked, it will also endanger the Twelve Celestial Stars. That is why I took over her duties and guarded this place.”

Su Cheng understood immediately upon hearing this.

So, is the title "Celestial Star Goddess" given to Senior Duanmu her true identity?

"Senior, thank you for your trouble."

"It's just a matter of duty."

Duanmu Jing smiled gently, her slender fingers lightly tracing the key in his hand. "If you wish to explore the Tongtian Gate, that's fine too."

However, this place is located between two realms, and after thousands of years of weathering and change, some strange demons seem to have arisen there, so we must be very careful.

Su Cheng pondered for a moment: "With this gate, could I leave the Five Desolate Domains and enter the Twelve Star Heavens?"

"It's hard to say."

Duanmu Jing lightly touched her lips with her fingertip and pondered, "Once you step into the Heavenly Gate, the reality and illusion are unpredictable, and your location is uncertain. You may wander within it for months, but you may not be able to take even half a step out of the Five Desolate Domains."

"Understood." Su Cheng nodded in understanding: "I will give it a try."

There's no need to be in such a hurry.

Duanmu Jing gently placed her hand on his hand and softly advised, "You should rest and recuperate here for the time being."

Shi Xuan and Wen Qimeng's eyes twitched slightly, their gazes involuntarily falling on the two people's clasped hands.

This woman, why does she suddenly become so dishonest?
"Ahem." Su Chengqing cleared his throat. "Senior, we are fine now and don't need to rest for too long."

"wrong."

Duanmu Jing suddenly interrupted, raising a gentle smile. "I asked you to stay not just to recover from your injuries."

Su Cheng looked doubtful: "What do you mean, senior?"

"Back then, I found a peculiar treasure land outside the Tongtian Gate, which seemed to contain a precious inheritance that I could obtain along the way."

Duanmu Jing said gently, "I need some time to recalculate its location and guide you on your way."

During this time, you may wish to experience the power of heaven and earth, which will greatly benefit your future cultivation.

Shortly after--

Su Cheng and the others have returned to their palace.

The puppet had already sat up and was leaning against the bed railing, staring blankly at the returning group.

As Wen Qimeng carefully perused the ancient book in her hands, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Duanmu is quite generous, allowing me to borrow such profound array formations and talisman principles."

"Miss Wen."

Su Cheng tucked the jade hairpin back into the puppet's hair and turned to look at him. "This journey to Tongtian Gate is fraught with danger; you and Little Aunt..."

"Don't worry, we're not afraid of any danger."

Wen Qimeng gathered her hair, turned around, and chuckled softly: "Isn't the reason why my little aunt and I have been cultivating so diligently for this moment?"

Su Cheng paused for a moment, then teased with interest, "I didn't realize Miss Wen was so clingy?"

"Well"

Wen Qimeng's smile faltered, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

"Anyway, I'm sticking with you, don't even think about shaking me off."

She gave a mock-sassy snort, turning her head away to continue flipping through the book. "If you dare sneak away, I'll chase after you all night long!"

"How could I be so clueless about romance?"

Su Cheng chuckled twice: "But since you're going to travel with me and Xuan'er, you'd better cultivate diligently during this time and not fall behind in your cultivation."

"Just watch it."

Wen Qimeng raised her head slightly and hummed proudly again. "Once I master the art of the Imperial Seal in a couple of days, it might be my turn to protect you all."

"Then I'll wait and see—"

"Hmm."

Just then, soft, sweet murmurs drifted from the bedside.

Su Cheng immediately fell silent and turned around. He saw the little girl shrink back, hugging a soft pillow and murmuring, "Brother... let me pat your head."

"..." Just as they were speechless, two suppressed chuckles rang out.

Su Cheng chuckled and shook his head, casually tidying up the puppet's messy black hair. "You're still the most obedient."

The aloof girl blinked, then quietly pressed her cheek against his palm, rubbing it gently like a little animal.

Shi Xuan quickly appeared, blushing as he took the comb:
"I'll comb your hair."

The sun and moon revolve, and the sea of ​​stars unfolds like a scroll across the sky.

Amidst the peaks of Tianxing, a finely carved pavilion gleams under the moonlight.

Beside the long railing, a graceful figure leaned lazily against a pillar, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, her slender fingers twisting a mysterious seal.

"."

Duanmu Jing looked up at the starry sky, her eyes gleaming with a mysterious light.

After a long while, she suddenly clenched her fingers, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"It seems that you have pondered for a long time and have already gained some insights?"

"what?"

Duanmu Jing blinked her beautiful eyes, turned around and saw Su Chenghou standing at the door without entering. A reproachful yet doting smile appeared on her face. "You silly child, you're already here, why are you just standing there like an idiot?"

She walked gracefully, her loose and luxurious silk dress trailing on the ground, her charm radiating with every light step.

"Come in and sit down."

"It's getting late, I'm sorry to bother you, senior."

"I invited you here, there's no need for such formalities," Duanmu Jing said softly, pulling Su Cheng to sit down by the railing.

"Just picked some spiritual fruits, want to try them?"

"Thank you."

Su Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "But what is it you wish to discuss with me, senior?"

"It's just something we didn't finish talking about during the day."

"Then why before?"

"The two girls didn't say anything, but their eyes were practically spitting fire at me."

Duanmu Jing couldn't help but chuckle: "We should give them some time to process things."

"Ahem, please forgive me, senior."

"It's alright. They have feelings for you, why would I mind?"

She rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the table with a gentle smile, and lightly touched Su Cheng's brow with her jade finger: "Besides, it's because of your wandering eyes, you naughty boy, that they kept glancing at you."

Su Cheng: “.”

Such enormous melons bouncing around in front of you are truly hard to ignore.
"It was my fault, to be honest."

Duanmu Jing gently touched her tight chest, her alluring face slightly flushed. "This is where I usually rest and heal my injuries; my clothes are always casual, so I hadn't noticed anything amiss."

Su Cheng coughed lightly: "Senior can put on another layer of clothing now."

Duanmu Jing's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly smiled sweetly: "Now that you've seen everything, hiding it any longer would just seem like self-deception. Hmm."

Before she could finish speaking, she met his burning gaze and felt a sudden shiver run through her body. Overwhelmed with shame, she instinctively covered her chest.

"You don't need to stare at me so intently, kid."

"It's just to discourage the senior from making a decision."

Su Cheng smiled gently and changed the subject, saying, "Let's get down to business first, otherwise I'll really be bewitched by your beauty."

Duanmu Jing pursed her lips slightly, a hint of shyness and reproach flashing across her eyes. This child, she's quite sly in private.
"When I fought you before, I intentionally tested the spiritual energy contained in your moves."

She gently touched her chest, calming herself down, and her tone gradually softened. "Although you haven't reached the Spirit Profound level, you seem to have touched the power of the Divine Soul and Life Seal. I can feel the profound Daoist principles within your moves."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Senior has discerning eyes."

"Therefore, I summoned you here tonight to give you another gift."

Duanmu Jing smiled gently again and extended her soft hand to Su Cheng. "These next two days, you should refine the soul imprint I gave you and comprehend its spiritual essence and Dao. It will greatly benefit you."

[The 'Heavenly Star Soul Imprint' has been detected. The woman has no prior marital history. Her feelings towards the sect leader are characterized by doting affection and tenderness.]

All conditions are met.

[Would you accept the Soul Imprint and become a Daoist partner with 'Duanmu Jing (Celestial Star Goddess)'?]

Su Cheng caught a glimpse of the system screen and couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly.

Come again?

He looked up at the beautiful woman, only to see that her smile had also stiffened slightly, and her cheeks were gradually flushed with an alluring blush.

"Okay, something seems off."
