Chapter 737: Shang Hongxue: Husband, did you get Qi Ruohua?

At the end, only Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue remained; Shang Hongxue this girl got off Chen Chuyang, took his arm and went back to the room. These days she had missed Chen Chuyang too much; upon seeing him, she couldn't help but want to get close.

Everyone then began doing their own things, except Shang Hongchen stared at the room with clenched fists.

The sister is so proactive, behaving like this—it's not simply to explain things to her; the two's relationship is too good, overly intimate.

Shang Hongxue's status, besides Chen Chuyang, has no equal; she is undoubtedly the mistress of Longshe Shan, with no rival.

No one could replace her sister's position; Shang Hongchen inwardly said she wasn't envious, but that was impossible—how could she not be envious? Her sister's life was too good; after forming the golden core, she completely pulled her ahead, and the gap between them kept growing.

Every time her sister interacted with Chen Chuyang, her cultivation would rise accordingly—not just a little, but greatly; her sister's current cultivation is thanks to Chen Chuyang, this man is a treasure.

"Could it be that I was really wrong back then?"

"Chen Chuyang is the best home; I abandoned him to go to the Heavenly Heart Sect… did I make a mistake?"

Her sister unreservedly chose Chen Chuyang, disregarding her own opposition—even their parents were persuaded by the sister.

Only today did she realize her sister was right.

Her sister's judgment was indeed better than hers in every aspect; this comparison dealt a heavy blow to Shang Hongchen, who deeply doubted herself each time.

Tianlian Zhenren patted the disciple's shoulder and said deeply: "The past cannot be changed; don't dwell in it. No one can know what the future holds. Hongchen, you still have a better future—no need to belittle yourself."

"You are not inferior to anyone; being behind now doesn't mean you'll always be behind."

"Believe in yourself; your talent and disposition are top-notch even in the Heavenly Heart Sect."

Compared to Shang Hongxue, this sister Shang Hongchen is indeed far behind.

Compared to Chen Chuyang this monster, it's… impossible to compare.

In the whole world, no one can match this monster; looking over thousands of years, no one can be mentioned alongside Chen Chuyang—at least, none of the people Tianlian Zhenren knows can compare with him.

As for surpassing him, that's impossible.

"Master."

Shang Hongchen turned back, stared intently at Tianlian Zhenren, bit her lip and said: "Master, am I really that good?"

"Can I catch up to Hongxue?"

As for catching up to Chen Chuyang, she also thought it unlikely.

That monster Chen Chuyang, no one can catch up to him.

Shang Hongchen still had some self-awareness; catching up to her sister, achieving golden core formation sooner would suffice.

"You can do it."

Tianlian Zhenren said seriously, not wanting to discourage this disciple—giving her some hope would be good.

At least, this disciple has this talent; her disposition must not be discouraged.

Give her some hope, let her keep her drive, instead of always living in this atmosphere of failure—we must encourage this disciple.

Shang Hongchen regained her drive and said earnestly: "I can do it, Master; you're right, my talent isn't bad, it's just that my luck is worse—I don't believe my luck will stay this bad."

"I will definitely catch up to Hongxue, even surpass her."

Clenching her fists, Shang Hongchen was full of confidence.

Their conversation was heard word for word by the black mountain goat; the black mountain goat lowered its head, curled the corner of its mouth, and showed a disdainful smirk.

"My master is very strong; wanting to surpass him is impossible."

"That girl Hongxue has a celestial ascendant body, an awakened celestial ascendant body—compared to Shang Hongchen, who knows how much stronger she is; once surpassed, trying to catch up would be unlikely."

"This woman still isn't giving up; I don't know if after Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue do dual cultivation, their improvement speed will increase a lot."

"That couple is cheating; how can you catch up?"

Ghost King Zhuge Gui could finally rest; his mission was done. After Chen Chuyang returned, he no longer needed to keep watch, began his own cultivation, and restoring his soul is a lengthy process requiring constant effort to repair.

Consciousness exists, but the soul hasn't yet coalesced—it won't happen that quickly.

Zhuge Gui isn't in a rush; step by step, someday he will fully recover.

By then, he will be the complete Ghost King Zhuge Gui, in control of everything.

Three days later.

Shang Hongxue lay on Xu Junbai's chest, her whole body pressing on him, her frail form weightless; Chen Chuyang held her and whispered: "After forming the golden core, your cultivation speed will slow, you need to accumulate, and you don't need to rush to raise your cultivation."

"Polish the foundations, step by step."

Shang Hongxue nodded: "I know, Elder Brother Chuyang."

Shang Hongxue stroked Xu Junbai's skin and said lightly: "Elder Brother Chuyang, are you and Qi Ruohua...?"

Chen Chuyang suddenly became spirited, his eyes fixed on Shang Hongxue, questioning: "You……"

Shang Hongxue stared fixedly at Chen Chuyang, pointing to a mark on his body—a trace left by Qi Ruohua, not very obvious, but Shang Hongxue still saw it.

"How did you know? Who told you?"

Chen Chuyang thought it over; besides Zhuge Ruolan, there was no one else.

"This girl saying all that, continuing to conceal it wouldn't be good either."

"What do you say?" Shang Hongxue looked at Chen Chuyang with a smiling, narrowed gaze, those eyes making Chen Chuyang feel uneasy.

Helpless, Chen Chuyang held her and softly recounted everything that had happened.

No concealment at all; he told her everything—since this girl already knew, Chen Chuyang simply didn't hide anything.

Continuing to conceal it would be pointless; better to lay it all out.

"That's about it; between us, there's nothing… spectacular, we just simply and smoothly got together."

Shang Hongxue looked at Chen Chuyang with a smiling, narrowed gaze, her right hand stroking his face, saying: "My husband is so handsome and charming; attracting Qi Ruohua is completely normal—only, that woman actually took such direct initiative, which is unexpected."

The icy, dignified Qi Ruohua—such a contrast—made Shang Hongxue find it unbelievable.

That woman had thoughts about Elder Brother Chuyang; she naturally knew.

Many people were eyeing her husband; those women just didn't dare act recklessly.

Shang Hongxue isn't a fool; she could naturally tell, but she had never exposed it.

I didn't expect Qi Ruohua to succeed so quickly, being so direct and proactive; it's normal that my husband couldn't resist.

"You don't blame me?"

Shang Hongxue smiled and said: "What's there to blame? That my husband could be taken by others shows they have good taste; besides, my husband is so strong, it's normal for him to have a few more women."

"But."

Shang Hongxue changed the subject, and Chen Chuyang immediately said: "Rest assured, you are my principal wife, the mistress of Longshe Shan; others cannot shake your position."

Shang Hongxue then showed a smile on her face and said satisfied: "Brother Chuyang, your awareness is high."

"Ahaha."

How could it not be high?

He doesn't want to be tormented by this girl; this girl is not simple.
