Chapter 1414: Xinran Zhanglao

Beyond the heavens, Cangzhou.

At the foot of Longshe Mountain.

Chen Chuyang stepped out of the teleportation formation, looked at the familiar surroundings, and smiled.

Qinglong Daoist was right before him; this time, only he came to greet, Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian True Person did not arrive. When the two met, Chen Chuyang nodded to Qinglong Daoist, and Qinglong Daoist returned the nod.

The two exchanged a glance, understood each other's thoughts, and Qinglong Daoist exclaimed excitedly, "You finally came, the body. If you don't come, I might get into trouble."

"Soon, the Heavenly Capital Dragon King will come to demand the pill. Has the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill been refined?"

The time was nearly up; the appointed moment was close. The Heavenly Capital Dragon King would certainly arrive on time. The Mangshan Demon Emperor had spoken early, demanding a Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, aiming to snatch the opportunity from the Dragon King so that he could not obtain the pill.

The idea was good, the scheme extremely clever, timing the move precisely.

These two people, whichever one, are not someone Qinglong Daoist can provoke; his cultivation is still at Seek Dao Realm, not yet stepping into Asking Truth Realm, and he is nowhere near a match for the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and the Mangshan Demon Emperor—the gap is enormous.

Facing either of them, he could not withstand a single strike; remember, it's one strike, not a brief block.

Chen Chuyang's arrival gave him security; with the body beside him, Qinglong Daoist need not worry about any of this.

"Both the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and the Mangshan Demon Emperor want to threaten us. We have an agreement with the Dragon King; he comes to take the pill—that's perfectly normal. However, the Demon Emperor's move clearly aims to make things difficult for us. If we don't give him the pill, we'll offend him."

"Give him the pill. Offending the Heavenly Capital Dragon King is unacceptable; we can't offend both. We can't give the pill to both of them."

Qinglong Daoist doesn't want to give it to anyone; the Dragon King offered a reward, so he can give it according to the agreement.

But the Mangshan Demon Emperor threatens him, wants nothing to give, trying to get something for nothing; naturally, he won't bow.

If the body isn't present, he might bow, give him the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, buying temporary safety.

With the body here, give a damn.

"Body, are we confident this time?"

Qinglong Daoist, unsure of Chen Chuyang's strength, asked in advance so that later he could better face those two.

He must not be intimidated by them, nor be shaken.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one dares to touch you." Chen Chuyang said confidently.

"Good, good, good. Having the body, that's enough." Qinglong Daoist was in high spirits; with the body beside him, he feared nothing.

The two left the cave together; the pills, Chen Chuyang also gave Qinglong Daoist, not many—just one bottle, and also a Luotian Snake King Pill, one bottle as well.

After receiving the pills, Qinglong Daoist gave the body a thumbs‑up and said, "You're still impressive, so many pills—what about me?"

"All the remaining Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pills are yours; use them however you like." Chen Chuyang waved his hand; he didn't care where the pills went—once in Qinglong Daoist's hands, they were his.

"The Luotian Snake King Pill can be exchanged for many good things; the Luotian White Snake Clan covets this pill. Bai Xinlan has hinted more than once that she wants me to help her refine the Luotian Snake King Pill. This time, we've refined them all, which is perfect."

"We can use these two pills to trade for a batch of resources. Once we have the resources, even if we offend the Mangshan Demon Emperor, we can flee; at worst, we just settle elsewhere."

Staying in the Mangshan Mountain Range is merely for the safety of the place, with no one to disturb us.

The world's spiritual energy is dense, and there are still many resources.

If truly unable to stay, he can take the spirit vein and leave.

With their abilities, leaving is still very easy.

"No need to think about that for now; we finally have stability, we can't keep running around." Chen Chuyang pressed his hand down. "I'll handle this matter, and then you can stay here peacefully."

"Alright."

Qinglong Daoist slipped away quietly; after getting his items, the rest was none of his concern.

Chen Chuyang naturally arrived before Xinran Zhanglao's cave; the cave was closed, as if Xinran Zhanglao didn't know he had come.

After a moment, the door opened.

Xinran Zhanglao stepped out, having deliberately dressed up, looking very alluring.

She wore a light‑blue dress, and her sword was not by her side.

She quietly came before Chen Chuyang, turned around, and asked, "Do I look good?"

Chen Chuyang nodded, "Good looking."

While speaking, his hand rose, grasping Xinran Zhanglao's hand; this time Xinran Zhanglao did not struggle.

Instead, she glanced at Chen Chuyang and tacitly accepted his grip.

Xinran Zhanglao's heart raced, making her whole body tense. She stole a glance at Chen Chuyang; coincidentally, he was also watching her. Startled, Xinran Zhanglao quickly lowered her head, unwilling to look at him.

Heart pounding.

Thump.

Thump.

Chen Chuyang felt her heartbeat, smiled faintly, "Nervous?"

Xinran Zhanglao ignored him, flicked her hand, and turned to return to her room.

Chen Chuyang followed closely, then closed the door.

Xinran Zhanglao turned, pretended to be angry, "Why did you come in? Get out."

"Madam, the husband has already come in; do you think the husband would still go out?" Chen Chuyang said with a mischievous smile, spreading his arms, about to hug her.

Xinran Zhanglao slightly stepped aside, then slipped into Chen Chuyang's embrace.

Chen Chuyang held Xinran Zhanglao, lowered his head to look at the woman; before she had reacted strongly, this time she was so obedient.

Not like her usual temperament; Chen Chuyang couldn't help teasing, "Madam, why so obedient this time?"

Xinran Zhanglao's face flushed, and she softly replied, "Mm."

"Do you want to serve your husband?"

Chen Chuyang lowered his head, lifted her chin, preventing her from avoiding his gaze.

Their eyes met, each's breath sprayed onto the other's face; the scorching aura made their hearts race.

Xinran Zhanglao shyly lowered her head, still unable to hold out till the end.

Chen Chuyang smiled, "Madam, are you ready?"

"No, no."

Elder Xinran was extremely nervous, her voice like a mosquito's.

"It seems the lady is ready; since that's the case, then, I, your husband, have arrived," Chen Chuyang immediately lifted her, startling Elder Xinran into a panicked pallor.

"Put me down, husband."

Elder Xinran struggled for a moment, couldn't break free, and finally shouted "husband."

After the shout, her face flushed deeply.

"My dear lady, I, your husband, have arrived." This time, Chen Chuyang truly couldn't restrain himself.

Elder Xinran's bearing in this pose is truly very charming, deadly.
