Fairy, help me cultivate.

Xu Junyu chuckled, took Jiang Bailian's hand, and walked into a withered tree.

Chen Yao and Su Quanyu followed.

Passing through the dead trees, a bright and open view suddenly appeared before me.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the wind sways the shadows of flowers, making it seem like another hidden paradise.

"This is a small grotto-heaven built by the Jiang family. Bai Lian arranged for it to be here after learning about the incident at Hanyu Peak."

Xu Junyu led Chen Yao and the other person forward, talking as they went.

Chen Yao saw a group of low-level cultivators sitting under the shade of a pine tree not far away.

"Who are they?"

Xu Junyu said proudly, "I recruited these talents from various small cultivation families... uh, I mean, I tricked them into teaching their unique Daoist skills to the reliable disciples of the Jiang family. So that they can become a secret weapon."

As she spoke, she winked at Chen Yao, clearly waiting to see his surprised expression.

However, to her disappointment, Chen Yao was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat disdainful.

What kind of expression is that?

Xu Junyu was very dissatisfied.

Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Bailian, who was standing in front of him in flowing white robes, and said to Xu Junyu, "The idea must have come from Bailian."

Xu Junyu paused for a moment: "So what? I tricked them into coming here!"

Chen Yao sighed, thinking to himself, "Aren't you just working for the Jiang family for nothing?"

Ultimately, the Jiang family will benefit, but whether they can be used by me is still unknown.

Hearing him sigh, Jiang Bailian turned around and smiled: "Husband, do you think Bailian's idea is bad? Then let's not let them learn it."

Chen Yao shook his head: "That's a good idea, of course. But I think the talents of these small families should be put to good use, and we can't just let them sit and talk about theories."

Jiang Bailian thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to you."

Chen Yao still needs to rely on the Jiang family for now, and he cannot offend Jiang Bailian.

"By the way, what are the drawbacks of your Transformation Pill?"

Jiang Bailian suddenly stopped, looked at Su Quanyu and Xu Junyu, and smiled at Chen Yao: "One day without seeing you feels like three autumns."

Su Quanyu understood and winked at Xu Junyu.

Xu Junyu was still angry at Chen Yao's disdain earlier and didn't understand: "What?"

Su Quanyu rolled her eyes, grabbed her hand, and dragged her away.

Jiang Bailian slowly walked towards Chen Yao, her gaze unfocused yet filled with fervent intensity.

"You've changed since I last saw you."

Chen Yao didn't feel anything different.

"How is it different?"

Jiang Bailian tilted her chin slightly and thought for a moment: "You're being serious."

After she said that, Chen Yao realized that his current state of mind was indeed completely different from when he was at Kuanglu Sect.

Perhaps it was the experience at Haixu that had deeply affected him, perhaps it was the improvement in his cultivation level that had brought him maturity, or perhaps it was the fact that he was now being pursued by the righteous path; in any case, his mood was no longer as relaxed as it had been before.

People always have to grow up.

He comforted himself with this thought.

So-called growth is nothing more than the comforting words of realizing that one has to face suffering.

Jiang Bailian's white jade fingers gently stroked Chen Yao's cheek, feeling cool and smooth.

"There is me."

"Ah."

Chen Yao gently embraced her.

"Although the Transformation Pill has the effect of transformation, the time is limited. Moreover, after using it, one's strength will drop several days later. Although the transformation time is short, the number of days of decline varies."

Jiang Bailian handed a storage bag full of Transformation Pills to Chen Yao and slowly explained the drawbacks.

Chen Yao put it into the storage ring: "Having said that, the risks after using it are indeed not small. However, it is still very useful."

"Yes, that's why I refined so many for you. The pill formula is also in the storage bag."

Chen Yao looked at her upturned face and kissed her red lips.

Jiang Bailian suddenly looked resentful.

"What?" Chen Yao asked, puzzled.

“Come here,” she said, taking his hand. “I have a surprise for you.”

"surprise?"

Chapter 109 The Long-Awaited Round Lotus

Chen Yao was completely confused. He followed Jiang Bailian through the pine forest and arrived at a stone platform.

There is a small white jade pavilion on the stone platform. The spiritual mist is floating, and the details inside the pavilion cannot be seen clearly.

Upon reaching the stage, Jiang Bailian stopped and smiled at Chen Yao: "Go ahead!"

Aren't you coming with me?

Chen Yao felt even more puzzled.

Jiang Bailian simply smiled and returned along the same route.

Chen Yao stepped onto the stone platform, where the spiritual mist swirled with the gentle breeze, gradually making the small pavilion clearer.

The sound also came out.

"In addition to the daily rations of spirit rice and spirit fruit for each person, those cultivators under the supervision of Professor Guan also need to be provided with a separate serving of spirit tea. Although they are currently detained here, they are still needed, so we should try to keep them calm and prevent any trouble..."

Upon hearing that melodious voice, Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and reached out to push open the door of the pavilion.

The spiritual mist swirled in, then thinned and dissipated.

The woman holding a brush by the window in the pavilion turned around with her hairpin twirling around, and stood there stunned.

"sister!"

Seeing Yuanhe, who was as diligent and devoted as ever, buried in her daily work, Chen Yao felt a sudden pang of guilt.

When he first heard about the incident at Hanyu Peak, he knew that Yuanhe had been implicated and brought here by Xu Junyu.

Seeing her now, even though she's separated from her beloved spirit beasts, she still takes care of everything without complaint, I can't help but feel very admiring.

"Clap!"

Yuanhe dropped the jade pen from her hand, staining a large piece of paper with ink.

She stood up with a delighted expression, lifted her silver-soled, yellow-flowered long skirt, and her high heels, with their toes peeking out, clicked as she took a few quick steps toward Chen Yao before stopping.

He turned back and waved to the female disciple waiting there: "Do as I say first!"

The female disciple bowed and withdrew, glancing at Chen Yao as she passed by before giggling and leaving.

Chen Yao remembered that she was the female cultivator he often delivered pills to when he went to Silver Moon Peak.

The pavilion door opened and then closed again.

Yuanhe then straightened up and threw herself into Chen Yao's arms.

"My sister was so worried about you! Are you alright?"

She was always so considerate and gentle, which made Chen Yao feel even more guilty.

"I'm fine, but my sister has suffered because of me."

Yuanhe's beautiful face pressed against Chen Yao's chest, and she shook it gently: "This is persecution by the evil sect, how can we let you bear it? Besides, I'm willing to do anything for you."

Chen Yao immediately pulled her voluptuous body closer, feeling her full breasts and deeply inhaling the comforting fragrance emanating from Yuan He's body.

"elder sister."

"My sister is here."

Yuanhe gently stroked his back, her voice soft and full of satisfaction.

Chen Yao gently cupped her face, looked into her watery eyes and peach-red lips, and opened his mouth to kiss her lips.

Yuanhe, having not seen Chen Yao for a while, was naturally aroused by his long absence and took the initiative to stick out her watery tongue, making a "sizzling" sound as she licked him.

The two had not fought for a long time, so their desire was like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Moreover, Chen Yao felt guilty and pity, so he excitedly served and kissed Yuan He, sucking Yuan He's pink cheeks until they were quite sunken.

After being kissed by Chen Yao for a while, Yuanhe was panting heavily. She slid back her arms that were wrapped around his back and began to grope his chest haphazardly.

The two kissed passionately until they were breathless and exhausted, before finally stopping their wet, glistening kiss.

Her round, pink tongue touched the corner of her lips, licking her saliva, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears as she looked at Chen Yao.

"I've been away from my sister for so long, I thought you'd forgotten me."

Chen Yao smiled sheepishly: "It's only been a little over a month."

Yuan He threw herself into his arms again: "It feels like many years have passed."

This surprised Chen Yao a little. Although Yuan He was charming and mature, she was even more gracious. She always considered Chen Yao's overall situation and rarely expressed such strong love and dependence to him.

After thinking about it carefully, he began to understand. Perhaps it was the drastic changes in the situation and the turmoil that made Yuan He feel so insecure.

So Chen Yao didn't rush to make love to her. Instead, he took her hand and led her to the window of the pavilion to snuggle up to her.

"I will never let my sister live in fear again."

He put his arm around Yuanhe's shoulder and said softly but firmly.

Yuanhe looked at him and nodded quietly.

After a while, she said with relief, "You've reached the Golden Core stage in such a short time. I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do to help you."

"Sister, I want to eat the food you cook."
