Chapter 1131

Xinran Zhanglao began to break through.

The breakthrough speed was very fast; just after sitting down, in less than half an hour, the breakthrough was completed.

Then, her cultivation was True Life Threefold Heaven; at this moment, Chen Chuyang fell silent.

Heishanyang also fell silent; after all, Xinran Zhanglao had been in Tianwai for so long that they hadn't checked her cultivation realm right away, so they naturally didn't know her exact level and still thought she had truly reached the True Lord Realm that quickly—as a result.

After Xinran Zhanglao's breakthrough succeeded, she stood up, saw everyone staring at her with strange looks, and asked doubtfully: "Why are you all looking at me like that? It's kinda scary."

Heishanyang couldn't help but retort: "Didn't you say you were worried about Three Lives United? You're only at True Life Threefold Heaven—what's there to worry about?"

Xinran Zhanglao explained: "I'm already at True Life Threefold Heaven; I'll soon reach the True Life Peak, then advance to the True Lord Realm—at most not more than twenty years. If I wait until then to prepare, wouldn't that be too late?"

"I like to prepare in advance; I don't like to take things step by step as they come. Do you understand?"

"Three Lives United is indeed close to me; I must prepare in advance. Is there any problem?"

Heishanyang opened his mouth, unable to rebut, because Xinran Zhanglao's words were truly faultless; indeed, preparing in advance is correct, not wrong at all. It's a shame they were still worrying about this and that—if they had known this earlier, Chen Chuyang wouldn't have needed to deduce on the spot or expend mental effort.

As a result, you say you haven't even reached this step—aren't you just playing with people?

Chen Chuyang, on the other hand, didn't mind; preparing in advance is good, and he also likes to prepare in advance. For any matter, one must confirm there are no problems before acting, rather than discovering issues halfway through—by then, everything would be too late.

"You win." Heishanyang shook his head; this woman had won, and he had nothing to say.

Qinglong Daoren gave a thumbs-up: "You're the most formidable, Xinran Zhanglao; I reckon only someone like you could make the main body so anxious."

Upon hearing that, Xinran Zhanglao chuckled: "Hehe, this is Chen Chuyang caring for me; you can't envy that."

After saying that, she gave Chen Chuyang a meaningful look, thanking him.

Chen Chuyang's lips twitched, but he said nothing; Xinran Zhanglao understood his meaning, her face flushed, she turned her back on him.

Heishanyang and Qinglong Daoren knew Chen Chuyang too well; the man and the goat exchanged a glance and left in unison, not wanting to get in the way.

Xinran Zhanglao also wanted to lift her foot to leave, but Chen Chuyang grabbed her hand; her body shuddered, and she turned back, asking: "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Chen Chuyang chuckled: "What do you say, Xinran Zhanglao? Haven't you forgotten something you still need to do?"

Xinran Zhanglao instinctively replied: "No, I've finished everything, nothing missed; I need to go back to consolidate my cultivation. Chen Chuyang, if you have anything to say, we can talk later."

After saying that, the woman tried to run off, but Chen Chuyang wouldn't let her escape.

He held her hand, not letting her run.

After several attempts, Xinran Zhanglao couldn't break free; she knew she was in trouble this time—she really couldn't escape.

Turning around, she smiled and said: "Chen Chuyang, just say what you want directly—can you let go of my hand?"

Chen Chuyang wouldn't fall for it, smiling: "What do you say?"

The woman, who knew full well what was going on, nevertheless pretended to be clueless.

Naturally, Chen Chuyang couldn't let her leave; the matter wasn't finished yet, and he had painstakingly helped her deduce, expending heart and effort—if he just let her run, wouldn't that be all for nothing?

He wasn't the type to suffer a loss; even Xinran Zhanglao couldn't make him lose out.

"What are you going to do?" Xinran Zhanglao knew the answer in her heart, yet she asked tremblingly.

Her lips quivered, as if she might collapse at any moment…

"What do you say?" Chen Chuyang stepped closer, his other hand lifting her chin, grinning with bared teeth: "Woman, you clearly know what I mean, yet you insist on playing dumb with me—this won't do; you'll be punished by me."

"I prefer you to be sensible, rather than forcing me to act."

Xinran Zhanglao's expression shifted, she gritted her teeth, feeling helpless, and pouted.

Chen Chuyang was very pleased; this woman was still smart, and then he placed his seal on her.

After a long while, they finally parted; Xinran Zhanglao immediately broke free from Chen Chuyang's hand and ran off—in a few steps, she vanished from sight.

Chen Chuyang's smile deepened: "Tsk tsk, this woman also knows how to be shy."

Heishanyang didn't know when he had returned, then said: "Kid, you're something—coming out here, you've provoked another woman, kissed her twice in a row; Xinran Zhanglao's heart is all yours. From now on, as long as you kid take a little initiative, Xinran Zhanglao won't be able to escape."

"How are you going to explain this to Hongxue, that girl?"

"And your sister Chen Churan—if she finds out about this, she'll probably be furious enough to die."

Chen Churan would likely explode on the spot; the teacher she had painstakingly found ended up falling victim to her brother's treachery, becoming his wife and thus one of her sisters-in-law—how could she possibly accept that?

"You're overthinking it; they'll be happy for me." Chen Chuyang said proudly.

Heishanyang didn't think so.

"As for other women, I don't know what they think, but one thing's certain about Hongxue: she'll definitely be persuaded by you kid. As for Shang Hongchen, though, she won't be so easy to compromise with."

"I also don't know what you kid have, but Hongxue girl is utterly devoted to you and even helped you get in touch with her own sister."

"And Zhuge Ruolan, too, was at Hongxue's behest."

Such good women are truly exceedingly rare.

Heishanyang felt envy, jealousy, and hatred; he also wanted to have such a woman, but unfortunately he never encountered one.

A woman encountered once in a million years—Chen Chuyang found her, and Heishanyang was jealous to death.

"You can't envy me—Hongxue is my wife; I've nurtured this girl since childhood, so it's naturally impossible for her to be cheapened by others." Chen Chuyang said proudly; this was indeed the smartest decision he'd ever made, the most correct choice of his life, without equal.

"I'm not jealous at all, humph."

Heishanyang let out a cold snort and ran off.

Chen Chuyang bared his teeth in a grin, his laugh hearty; Heishanyang's steps quickened, whereupon Chen Chuyang burst out laughing: "Hahaha."

After laughing, Chen Chuyang sat down, pursed his lips, and thought: Xinran Zhanglao's flavor was truly good—very good.

It was nostalgic, and he wanted to kiss her again.

Such opportunities are hard to come by; the next time will probably be a long while from now.

Thinking this, Chen Chuyang didn't feel discouraged; he sat down and began pill refining.

The quantity of Myriad Medicine Dragon Blood Pills wasn't enough; he needed to keep refining them, doing several more batches to gain proficiency.

Besides the Myriad Medicine Dragon Blood Pills, there was also another seventh-grade pill that needed refining.

Coincidentally, Chen Chuyang had plenty of materials on hand—enough to refine several batches.
