I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Deep inside the inner gate.

Inside a cave dwelling brimming with spiritual energy, the occasional loud crash of shattering porcelain could be heard.

"You bitch!"

"Yu Linglong, you bitch!"

Ye Mei's hair was disheveled, and her once beautiful face was now distorted beyond recognition.

Half of her face was swollen.

Even though he had already consumed several precious healing elixirs.

There were still large areas of dark blood pooling on his cheeks.

She gripped a golden spirit wood staff in her hand and smashed it fiercely against the surrounding decorations.

"How dare you humiliate me like this!"

"Once Changhe emerges from seclusion, I will definitely extract your soul and refine your spirit, then throw you to the lowest outer disciple of the Hehuan Sect as a furnace!"

On a warm jade bed next to it.

Ye Ting's face was deathly pale, and his chest was wrapped in thick white gauze.

He had just swallowed a few healing pills.

The excruciating pain from his shattered sternum made him gasp for breath repeatedly.

"Sister... calm down," Ye Ting said weakly.

"That bitch is now in the late stage of the Golden Core realm; we won't get away with this."

Ye Mei turned around, her bloodshot eyes staring straight at Ye Ting.

"Calm down? Your grandson's been crippled, and you got kicked into this state by her! What's there for me to calm down about?"

Before he could finish speaking...

An inner disciple stumbled and ran into the cave.

His legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the shattered jade fragments.

He was completely unaware that his knee was bleeding from being stabbed.

"Madam... Elder Ye! Something terrible has happened!"

Ye Mei, who was looking for a place to vent her anger, slapped him to the ground.

"What are you wailing about?! Speak!"

The disciple covered his face, his voice trembling: "Lianxiang Peak... someone has formed their Core!"

"That bitch Yu Linglong was already at the late Golden Core stage. Leng Qingyue couldn't possibly have reached that level so quickly. Who is it?"

"It's that Cao Kun!"

The disciple swallowed hard.

"He summoned nine bolts of purple-gold heavenly lightning, without even using any formations or defensive magic treasures, directly withstanding the lightning with his bare body, and emerged completely unharmed!"

"Now... he has formed a top-grade Golden Core!"

The vast cavern fell into a deathly silence that lasted for several breaths.

Ye Mei's facial muscles twitched a few times.

The spirit wooden staff in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ye Ting, who was on the bed, also started coughing violently.

A mouthful of blood sprayed directly onto the brocade quilt.

"That's impossible!"

Ye Ting pushed away the maid who came to help him and screamed hysterically.

"Just a few days ago on the life-or-death stage, Cao Kun clearly only displayed the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Only a few days have passed? He skipped directly to the late Foundation Establishment stage and reached Core Formation?"

Ye Ting broke out in a cold sweat.

He is also at the Golden Core stage.

He knew all too well the weight those words carried.

For an ordinary cultivator to form their core and attract three lightning tribulations is already a sign of exceptional talent, indicating a promising future.

And nine bolts of purple-gold heavenly lightning!

Such talent is beyond the reach of even the Hehuan Sect.

Even in the entire Qingzhou, he is an unparalleled genius!

What's even more terrifying is the opponent's cultivation speed, which defies the norms of the cultivation world.

Ye Ting looked up at Ye Mei, who was also in a daze.

The anger that had been in his eyes had been completely replaced by deep fear.

"Sister! This person... can't be kept alive any longer."

"Such a monstrous talent, such a cultivation speed... Give him another month, and not only our Ye family, but the entire Hehuan Sect won't be able to suppress him!"

Ye Mei knew perfectly well what was going on.

But she hesitated.

"But... Changhe is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"You know his temper."

"If I were to disturb him midway through his cultivation at this crucial moment, ruining his path to enlightenment, I would be the first to suffer when he emerges from seclusion!"

Ye Ting gritted his teeth and sat up, supporting himself on the bed.

"Sis! You're so confused!"

"He's only at the early stage of Core Formation; he wouldn't die even if the tribulation lightning struck him. Plus, that crazy woman Yu Linglong is protecting him."

"If this monster is allowed to live a few more years, we'll both be dead!"

At this point, Ye Ting lowered his voice.

"Tell Elder Su that Yu Linglong, that vile woman, has betrayed the sect and secretly harbored a spy sent by the righteous path. Ask him to come out of seclusion and punish her!"

Furthermore...

A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Ting's eyes.

"Yu Linglong is at the peak of the late Golden Core stage, and is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou."

"You've given Elder Su a handle on such a top-tier, exquisite furnace cauldron."

"Elder Su is overjoyed, how could he possibly blame you?!"

After hearing her brother's analysis, Ye Mei's expression shifted between light and dark.

A few breaths later.

"you're right."

"I'll go to the forbidden area behind the mountain right now and ask Changhe to leave the pass!"

……

Meanwhile, under the night sky above Lianxiang Peak.

Two sword lights flew one after the other towards the herb garden on the back mountain.

On the green snake sword in front.

Cao Kun stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright.

His restrained yet powerful aura at the Golden Core stage gave him an indescribable charm.

Leng Qingyue stood in front of him, with most of her body pressed against his chest.

A night breeze was blowing.

Cao Kun lowered his head slightly, his lips close to Leng Qingyue's earlobe.

I don't know what explicit, lewd thing he said.

This made Leng Qingyue blush shyly.

The two of them continued to interact as if no one else was around.

About ten feet behind them.

Liu Rumeng followed alone, riding on a crimson flying sword, feeling extremely frustrated.

She stomped hard on the sword.

That shameless bastard!

Why did you force me to come over in the middle of the night? Was it just so I could follow behind you?

Are you going to stand there like an idiot and watch the two of you disgustingly lovey-dovey stuff?!

Soon, the sword light descended, and the three landed in front of the pavilion in the medicine garden.

Cao Kun pushed open the door and entered.

Leng Qingyue followed closely behind, like a dutiful and virtuous wife.

But Liu Rumeng stopped at the door.

Cao Kun walked to the table and sat down.

Leng Qingyue then walked to his side very naturally.

She picked up the jade pot on the table with her delicate hand, poured a cup of warm spiritual tea, and brought it to Cao Kun's lips.

Cao Kun took a sip from her hand.

Subsequently,

He then pushed the remaining half-cup of tea directly to Leng Qingyue's lips, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "It tastes good, Qingyue, you should try some too."

Leng Qingyue blushed, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

She obediently drank the remaining tea from the spot where Cao Kun had drunk from.

Seeing this, Cao Kun's smile deepened.

He grabbed Leng Qingyue's slender waist and pulled her onto his lap to sit down.

"ah--"

Leng Qingyue let out a soft cry, then wrapped her arms around Cao Kun's neck.

"Qingyue has really had a tough time these past few days." Cao Kun twirled a strand of her hair with his fingers.

Leng Qingyue shook her head and rubbed her cheek against Cao Kun's clothes.

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Cao? I'm willing to do anything to help you."

The entire attic was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

No one paid any attention to Liu Rumeng standing at the door.

Liu Rumeng clenched her fists, anger churning in her chest.

But gradually...

Her gaze began to wander uncontrollably over Leng Qingyue.

Leng Qingyue has a slender waist and fair skin.

Although her chest was quite full, it was still two sizes smaller than mine.

Why is it that she can sit comfortably in his lap and act coquettishly?

Why should I have to stand here like a servant and watch helplessly?

A strong sense of resentment mixed with bitterness welled up in my heart.

She, Liu Rumeng, has both a great figure and a beautiful face.

In what way is she inferior to Leng Qingyue?

The idea had just popped into my head.

Liu Rumeng suddenly shivered.

Liu Rumeng! Are you crazy? Wake up!

That's the enemy who ruined your reputation!

You're actually jealous of your best friend?

Who can win this old lecher's favor more?

Did that broken ring scare you so much that you lost your mind, or are you addicted to that damned blazing sun energy?

Liu Rumeng cursed herself in her heart, trying to drive away those absurd and despicable thoughts.

But the body's reaction is incredibly honest.

The Crimson Flame Spirit was uncontrollably emitting bursts of heat.

Liu Rumeng felt her legs begin to weaken, as if a fire was burning inside her.

Even my breathing became a little rapid.

Liu Rumeng could not deny it.

She was damn concerned about what was happening in front of her.

Leng Qingyue leaned against Cao Kun's chest, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Liu Rumeng's flushed face and her heaving chest.

"really."

She was certain of her earlier guess.

It's definitely not a coincidence that Ru Meng came here dressed like this tonight.

She must also be one of Senior Brother Cao's people.

Moreover, judging from his flustered appearance, he clearly holds a very low position in Senior Brother Cao's heart.

That's been figured out.

Instead of feeling angry, Leng Qingyue felt a surge of superiority.

Senior Brother Cao is so outstanding that even Master is secretly flirting with him. What's one more Ru Meng?

I can't stoop to the level of a mere concubine; that would only make me seem petty.

Leng Qingyue straightened up slightly and gently tidied the stray hairs by her ears.

I looked up at the moonlight outside the window.

It's getting late.

Senior Brother Cao has just formed his core, and his body is surging with spiritual energy.

This is the perfect time to consolidate one's realm through dual cultivation.

His own supreme ice spirit body has been fully activated.

It will definitely help Senior Brother Cao.

just.

The subsequent dual cultivation should not be witnessed by outsiders.

Leng Qingyue cleared her throat.

"cough."

Hearing the sound, Liu Rumeng looked up and met Leng Qingyue's gaze.

Leng Qingyue's cheeks were slightly flushed, but her tone remained very calm.

"Like a dream."

It's getting late.

"Senior Brother Cao and I still need to... consolidate our cultivation."

Leng Qingyue deliberately emphasized the words "consolidate cultivation" and paused slightly.

"You should go back to Baihua Peak tonight; there's nothing for you to do here."

A brief silence fell over the attic.

Liu Rumeng stared wide-eyed at Leng Qingyue in disbelief.

Ok.

Leng Qingyue, you heartless bastard!

She usually acts aloof and arrogant.

They have a whole set of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to kicking people out!

You really think you're the lady of the house, don't you?!

Liu Rumeng gritted her teeth.

I wanted to yell back, "You don't need to kick me out. I've wanted to leave for ages! Who wants to stay here and watch you all go crazy!"

But the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a sound.

Her body made a movement that was completely against the will of her brain.

Liu Rumeng's gaze passed over Leng Qingyue and landed directly on Cao Kun's face.

Those were eyes that were stubborn, aggrieved, and filled with a glimmer of hope.

Without Cao Kun's permission.

Even if she was humiliated to this extent by her best friend.

She didn't dare step out of the room.

This action happened extremely naturally.

Even Liu Rumeng herself didn't realize what this instinctive request for instructions meant.

Leng Qingyue witnessed the entire scene.

A knowing glint flashed in her eyes.

Attitude speaks for itself.

Ru Meng is with Senior Brother Cao.

At most, she could be considered a maidservant or a half-concubine.

It poses no threat to their position whatsoever.

Leng Qingyue withdrew her gaze and leaned more comfortably into Cao Kun's arms.

Cao Kun met Liu Rumeng's watery eyes.

Not a word.

After a full three seconds, having thoroughly enjoyed the struggle and breakdown in Liu Rumeng's eyes,

Cao Kuncai gave Liu Rumeng a slight nod, as if bestowing a gift.

Permission was granted.

Liu Rumeng's heart was completely shattered into dumpling filling.

She didn't dare look at the two of them again.

He smashed open the wooden door to the attic and rushed out in a panic.

The night breeze blew in from outside the door.

It took away the fragrance that belonged to Liu Rumeng.

[Ding! The jade beast Liu Rumeng, in an unconscious state, has for the first time exhibited instinctive obedience to its host.]

Taming value +2.

[Current taming value: 15/100.]

[Reward: 200 mission points.]

As Cao Kun heard the system notification, a smug, confident smile crept across his face.

He knew it.

Like Liu Rumeng, a fiery and spirited horse.

That's the way to break down her psychological defenses little by little.

This is much more interesting than forcibly conquering!

"Senior Brother Cao."

Seeing that the eyesore had finally left, Leng Qingyue lightly stood up from Cao Kun's lap.

Her fair fingers hooked the sash of her light gauze dress and gently lifted it.

As the light gauze slipped down

A beautiful, exquisite body, as if created by heaven, was displayed before Cao Kun without reservation.

Leng Qingyue's eyes sparkled, her voice like a nightingale's song, carrying a hint of alluring charm reserved only for Cao Kun:

"Ru Meng is gone."
