Chapter 1044: Encountering the Nine‑Tail Celestial Fox Again: Hu Jiuwei's Subtle Thoughts

Hu Jiuwei's face was full of intoxication, and it took a long time for her to calm down; the thrill of a cultivation breakthrough truly makes one feel elated.

"Husband, only together with you can I swiftly breakthrough my cultivation."

Hu Jiuwei sighed, "My own cultivation for ten years' effort is nothing compared to three days with you; I truly love the scent of you, husband."

Within three days, her cultivation rose to the peak of the True Person Realm; in this world, the only one who surpasses her in cultivation is the man before her. Chen Chuyang embraced her and smiled, "That's natural; dual cultivation is also a form of practice. Our compatibility is high, and soul and body have reached a high degree of unity, so benefits naturally follow. I also enjoy being with you, madam."

Through dual cultivation with Hu Jiuwei, Chen Chuyang also gained many benefits: his true qi became purer, his soul advanced, and his body improved slightly over the three days. Other women cannot provide this; simply because their cultivation is too low.

Since they cannot reach Chen Chuyang's level, they naturally cannot offer him benefits. Hongxue and Hongchen have very low cultivation; most of what they have comes from Chen Chuyang's support. Of course, it's not that there are no benefits at all—just a little.

Yin‑yang dual cultivation brings tremendous benefits to the practitioner; it can balance Chen Chuyang's body—whether true qi, body, or soul, all are enhanced. Because Chen Chuyang's cultivation is so high, the gap is vast, causing the benefits to diminish greatly.

In contrast, Hu Jiuwei's strength rose rapidly; the last time she was only at the third or fourth tier of the True Person Realm, and now she has reached its peak. Although the final tier was boosted by Chen Chuyang, her cultivation speed is still swift, not slower than training in Tianwai.

"Madam, it seems you have had many opportunities these years; you reached the peak of the True Person Realm so quickly, and can soon advance to the True Destiny Realm."

Hu Jiuwei bragged, "That's natural; I wouldn't claim my talent is the best under heaven, but in this world, only a handful can surpass my talent, and that includes you, husband."

That is still Hu Jiuwei's modest phrasing; she really wants to say that, apart from her husband, no one crushes her in talent.

Not even the nine‑tailed celestial fox can match her; this is her confidence in her own talent, especially after dual cultivation with Chen Chuyang—her talent and bloodline have been enormously enhanced, far beyond what they were before.

In her eyes there is no other genius; genius is merely a threshold to meet her.

"Madam, impressive," Chen Chuyang gave a thumbs‑up in praise.

Hu Jiuwei felt flattered; she liked Chen Chuyang's flattery as well as his praise.

She lifted her head proudly, "That's natural; I am indeed the most formidable wife of my husband."

He could not deny that remark.

He embraced her gently, "Madam, you mustn't become too inflated; Hongxue is no worse than you. Her talent hasn't been fully released yet, and once it is, she'll become terrifying."

"In this world, many special constitutions are truly extraordinary; you should remain humble."

Hu Jiuwei raised an eyebrow, "Is sister Hongxue's talent really that strong?"

Chen Chuyang nodded, "Naturally; even I don't know the limit of her talent, but you can imagine how formidable it is. In the future, she may surpass you and become the strongest, so you should treat Hongxue with more respect."

Besides that, Hongxue is his wife, the legitimate primary wife; whether Hu Jiuwei or any other woman, they must accept Hongxue's arrangements.

As the rightful primary wife, Chen Chuyang will not allow anyone to disrespect Hongxue.

"I understand, husband," Hu Jiuwei said, "I will not be presumptuous."

She was naturally clear on this; she never intended to snatch Hongxue's position, nor would she do so.

Because she knows that in Chen Chuyang's heart, Shang Hongxue's status is unmatched.

No matter how outstanding she performs, that's just how it is.

Shang Hongxue differs from other women; her standing in Chen Chuyang's heart is highly respected, and Hu Jiuwei has no thoughts about it.

"By the way, husband, I have discovered the trace of the nine‑tailed celestial fox."

Chen Chuyang sat up immediately, squinting his eyes, and asked, "Where did you find her?"

"Where else could it be? Naturally it's in the Fox Clan's cave heaven. The nine‑tailed celestial fox hasn't left; she's been hiding inside the Fox Clan's cave heaven. I happened upon her location by chance; she sensed my presence and immediately concealed herself."

"Her strength seems unchanged, as if she has encountered some problem."

"I tried to catch up with her, but in the end she escaped."

Hu Jiuwei gritted her teeth, "We cannot let this woman continue to grow, nor let her fully recover; we must capture her. Then, may I send her to your side as a maid?"

Chen Chuyang was quite pleased internally; the nine‑tailed celestial fox is not lacking, excelling in every aspect.

"Ahem, I have no such intention."

"Tch," Hu Jiuwei snorted coldly, "Husband, what are you afraid of? The nine‑tailed celestial fox is originally your woman; serving you is what she should do. She must not keep putting on airs; that's what I despise most about her."

"Posing, putting on airs, as if she were some prized treasure?"

Hu Jiuwei cannot stand the nine‑tailed celestial fox's demeanor; she must make her bow her head.

Sending her to the husband's side, he has many ways to deal with her.

"Having that intention is already commendable; I am very satisfied," Chen Chuyang praised, "The nine‑tailed celestial fox is not weak; catching her is not easy. You must also be careful yourself, lest she possess you again."

Hu Jiuwei nodded, "Rest assured, husband, I am not the same as before. She cannot get onto me; it's impossible."

"When I advance to the True Destiny Realm, I will be able to locate her whereabouts; then, I will certainly capture her."

Forge her properly, make her bow, and finally become the husband's woman.

That way she can call the nine‑tailed celestial fox "sister", and Hu Jiuwei longs to hear the nine‑tailed celestial fox call her "elder sister".

Chen Chuyang was naturally willing, provided that Hu Jiuwei can capture her.

"Then I will work even harder to help you advance to the True Destiny Realm."

Hu Jiuwei's complexion changed at those words; she immediately rose and put on her clothes.

Her movements were seamless, completed within a few breaths, and she was fully dressed.

This scene left Chen Chuyang utterly astonished.

"Madam, what's wrong? I haven't properly rewarded you yet."

Chen Chuyang, knowingly, reached out to pull her.

Hu Jiuwei refused to be pulled, scolding, "Husband, next time. This time I'm tired; if you can't persist, go find sister Hongxue. If that fails, you can go find Shang Hongchen; they will surely welcome you."

"Madam, I now want to be with you."

"No, I'm afraid you still can't?"

Hu Jiuwei waved her hand and fled in panic, daring not to linger.
