Chapter 1807

Next, it was Chen Chuyang's time.

Bai Xinlan, or Xinran Zhanglao— the two women understood Chen Chuyang's thoughts; Xinran Zhanglao immediately found an excuse to leave, saying she needed to go back and look after her daughter, as she hadn't yet made the mental preparations, after all she and Bai Xinlan weren't that close yet, and wouldn't easily take that step.

Usually their relationship was neither good nor bad; she always remained on guard against Bai Xinlan in her heart, after all Bai Xinlan was an outsider, unlike Tianlian Zhenren, and Tianlian Zhenren was the same—deep down she still kept a certain distance, unwilling to let Bai Xinlan know too much.

Since they weren't one of their own, it was impossible to tell her those things; Chen Chuyang himself hadn't said them either, so naturally they wouldn't say them.

Bai Xinlan naturally knew, but she didn't understand why they acted that way; after a bout of wind and rain, Bai Xinlan's entire demeanor had changed, and she asked: "Husband, why do I always feel that the two of them are distancing themselves from me? Is it because I have dissatisfied them, or is it that they don't like me?"

Chen Chuyang couldn't help but glance at Bai Xinlan again; he hadn't expected this woman to have noticed as well, and he smiled, saying: "No, madam, perhaps it's just your imagination?"

"No, I am naturally sensitive about this, so I know that Elder Xinran and Tianlian Zhenren are distancing themselves from me and haven't truly accepted me; is it that I haven't done well enough, or have I offended them in some way?"

Bai Xinlan stared with bright eyes, fixed on Chen Chuyang, hoping to get an accurate answer from him; Chen Chuyang naturally knew the specific reason, after all she wasn't one of their people and hadn't yet earned their trust, which is why they treated her that way.

Not only her, but Diewumeng received the same treatment, with no difference.

But he couldn't say it to their faces; that world was ultimately too sensitive—things that shouldn't be said are better left unsaid, the fewer who know, the better. In this regard, Lingjian Zhenren did very well, not revealing his identity.

"Madam, you're overthinking it; the two of them might just not be good at socializing, which is why they're acting this way. Give them a little more time; once you become familiar, they'll naturally treat you as family." Chen Chuyang stroked Bai Xinlan's cheek, letting her not worry too much.

Bai Xinlan nodded: "Alright, then I'll wait a bit longer."

She didn't know why either, but she would always listen to Chen Chuyang's words—whatever he said, that's what it was.

Chen Chuyang also liked her; Bai Xinlan was sensible, many things she didn't press further or investigate deeply, her personality was rather easygoing, which was best, for he feared Bai Xinlan would be the type who must pursue every matter to its conclusion and obtain a satisfactory result before letting go.

However, Xinran Zhanglao and the other still needed to say something, not be too obvious, and still go through the motions where needed.

That's not good.

Over the next few days, Chen Chuyang was busy, handling their affairs; the matters of Tianwai were also nearly concluded, and he should head back.

Before parting, Xinran Zhanglao felt reluctant and urged: "Husband, you must remember, don't forget our promise."

"Keep an eye on those Spirit Sword Sect disciples; don't let Lingjian Zhenren fool them."

"Understood, madam." Chen Chuyang nodded; as for the Spirit Sword Sect side, he would inform them, not making things difficult for Xinran Zhanglao nor for those disciples—how they choose is their own affair.

Chen Chuyang had a rough grasp of the situation at the Heaven Sword Sect; Bai Xinlan's understanding of the Heaven Sword Sect was deep, she knew many secrets to some extent, and she told Chen Chuyang everything without hiding anything.

This woman is excellent in every way; if she were from their world, it would be even better, but that's not a problem—given these circumstances, Bai Xinlan will soon be completely conquered by him, body and mind.

Only after getting to know her well did he discover that Bai Xinlan was rather simple in nature, her physique was different too, and Chen Chuyang gained many benefits; most importantly, this woman was eager to learn, wanted to study everything, was curious about everything, daring to try, giving Chen Chuyang a different experience.

After some intimate moments, Chen Chuyang left Longshe Shan.

Time quietly passed a month.

Within Longshe Shan, things trended toward calm.

During this time, Bai Meng came once, saw a different master, was greatly surprised, pulled the master aside to ask about the situation; Bai Xinlan naturally didn't hide anything, couldn't conceal it, and told some things to Bai Meng the Holy Maiden, leaving Bai Meng the Holy Maiden quite astonished.

Even some bedroom matters, the big and small things of their interaction, Bai Xinlan also didn't conceal, and told this disciple everything.

Bai Meng the Holy Maiden was shocked to the point of being like a celestial being, unable to accept it, and left in a daze.

That day, Heishanyang found Qinglong Daoren.

"Qinglong kid, I've got a big discovery that will definitely……interest you."

Qinglong Daoren laughed and said: "What discovery? Could it be that Lian Hongchen has come back again?"

Not long ago, Lian Hongchen digested what she had gained, left, and went out to wander; actually, she went to look for other Black Wood Coffins, while also improving her cultivation and strength; the Corpse Refining Sect trip opened her eyes and also brought her considerable benefits.

She improved in all aspects, also recognizing her own weakness, needing to go out to boost her strength; with Qinglong Daoren's permission, she left alone, Heishanyang didn't accompany her, and Heishanyang chose to stay in Longshe Shan.

Not only did Lian Hongchen benefit, but Heishanyang also gained considerable benefits, and its strength recovered once again.

The ever-moving Heishanyang made a big discovery and immediately came to tell Qinglong Daoren.

"No, Lian Hongchen hasn't come back; rather, I've discovered a big secret—right beneath our place there is a big secret."

"Kid, do you know? What did I find down below?"

Heishanyang was excited beyond measure, but at the last moment he sold a tease, not speaking directly, deliberately baiting Qinglong Daoren to make him guess.

Qinglong Daoren pursed his lips: "Could it be that you discovered a dragon palace hidden below, with a true dragon corpse inside?"

Heishanyang widened its eyes in disbelief, staring at Qinglong Daoren, its whole body trembling.

"Qinglong kid, how did you know?"

The next moment, Heishanyang blinked, understood all of this, and immediately said: "Kid, could it be that you already knew all along?"

Indeed, a dragon palace is hidden beneath Longshe Shan, right under the mountain peak—a sealed dragon palace; below that lies a separate space, within which another dragon palace is contained, and inside that dragon palace lies a true dragon corpse.

Moreover, it is a complete true dragon corpse; that corpse is no trivial matter—Heishanyang dared not approach, it could sense all of this, and immediately came to find Qinglong Daoren, wanting to go down together to explore; if it obtained everything from the true dragon corpse, it could also get a share.

Thinking of the true dragon corpse, and moreover that corpse's strength is not weak—if it devoured the true dragon corpse, it could advance further.

Thinking of this, Heishanyang became utterly excited, which is why it immediately reported.

Who would have thought, Qinglong Daoren already knew.
