Chapter 766: Mother returns to the Ascending Dragon Pool—will she become a dragon?

Chuyang brother, are you alright? Just now you scared me to death, I...

Shang Hongxue came up and explained to Chen Chuyang exactly what had just happened, without exaggeration, without any other embellishment, telling Chen Chuyang Yi Yi Shi.

Everyone else stood aside, leaving it to Shang Hongxue to explain was the most natural, but…… Heishanyang seemed ill at ease, its eyes fixed on Chen Chuyang, scrutinizing carefully, trying to spot something different, also wanting to see if this kid had really cultivated the Taotie Method.

"That's basically how it went, Chuyang brother, I did nothing wrong, right?"

Shang Hongxue raised her head, waiting for Chen Chuyang to praise her; that expression was too adorable.

Chen Chuyang reached out to stroke her head, rubbed it, and said indulgently: "You did right, little girl, keep doing that."

"Mm-hmm." Shang Hongxue clenched her fists, earnestly: "I won't let anyone hurt Chuyang brother; I'll always protect him."

Clenching her fists, she swung them at the air, as if warning Heishanyang, and also warning others: whoever wants to disrupt Chuyang brother's cultivation must first ask her.

Chen Chuyang's smile grew richer, his eyes full of Shang Hongxue; this little girl was truly too adorable, and also truly loved herself.

Heishanyang coughed: "Kid, I'm just worried you cultivated the Taotie Method, you kid can't blame me."

It had its reasons for doing this, also out of concern for Chen Chuyang's safety; who knows if Chen Chuyang might drop dead from cultivating the Taotie Method, and if so, Heishanyang would truly be unable to clear itself even by jumping into the Yellow River.

Fortunately, what it worried about didn't happen; Heishanyang breathed a sigh of relief, but it couldn't fully relax, because it didn't know whether Chen Chuyang was truly…… completely fine, this kid hid it well.

The Taotie Method's divine ability, Heishanyang would not mistake; it is its innate divine ability, also the divine ability of its clan; besides this clan, no one else could possibly learn this divine ability.

Chen Chuyang definitely cultivated that divine ability, yet this kid doesn't look like he's in trouble.

"Hahaha, of course not; you're also thinking of my safety, how could I blame you?"

Chen Chuyang knew Heishanyang's worry; doing this was also for his sake.

He naturally wouldn't blame Heishanyang; they were just looking out for themselves, not seeking trouble.

"This is a misunderstanding; you needn't do this, Heishanyang did this for my good, Hongxue, you must not retaliate against it."

Shang Hongxue immediately replied: "No, Chuyang brother, how could I retaliate?"

Those little eyes rolled, unknown what they were thinking.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui saw Chen Chuyang come out safely, he thus completed his task, returned to his position, and continued to restore himself.

Chen Qinger also began to go back to practice swordsmanship; she had not yet grasped the Five Elements Sword Intent, so she could not relax.

In cultivation, she must not fall behind Shang Hongxue and Shang Hongchen sisters, nor be overshadowed by them; she must stay ahead to prove her talent is the strongest.

Among women, there is also competition, and she does not want to fall behind.

Only Shang Hongxue, Chen Chuyang, and a Heishanyang remained on the scene; Chen Chuyang pressed down on the Heishanyang, not letting it leave.

Heishanyang helplessly said: "Kid, go keep your little wife company for a while, old man won't bother you."

"No rush, no rush, Hongxue can keep her company anytime; you, however, must let me study you now."

"No delay, we can't let it run away."

"Strike while the iron is hot; Chen Chuyang certainly doesn't want Heishanyang…… to run away."

Shang Hongxue was perceptive, she immediately left, handing the place over to the two of them.

Seeing this, Heishanyang knew it couldn't escape; this person was determined to study its body, Heishanyang resignedly relaxed its body, awaiting fate's judgment.

"Kid, come on, hurry up, old man's time is precious, can't waste it."

"No rush, no rush."

Chen Chuyang brought the Heishanyang into the room and slowly began to study it.

First, the flesh; Heishanyang's flesh differs from other demons, possessing strong vitality, able to recover quickly, its powerful self-healing lets its body grow rapidly, even if cut off, it can quickly regrow.

Not as good as Tai Sui, but not far off.

Chen Chuyang cut several pieces of flesh to study, checking if they could regenerate on their own, but found they could not.

Heishanyang is like fish on a chopping board, at anyone's mercy.

Unable to resist, it lies on the ground; occasionally Chen Chuyang cuts off a piece of flesh to study, and each study takes a period of time.

The flesh study isn't that fast; compared to Tai Sui's flesh, the two placed together.

Time gradually passed.

Such research also doesn't yield results quickly; it requires patient waiting, and once Chen Chuyang immerses himself in it, it doesn't end quickly.

Poor Heishanyang was bound in place, unable to go anywhere.

Cutting flesh, bleeding, and Chen Chuyang's other demands—it had to meet them all.

Thus, half a month passed.

Down the mountain.

Longshe Cheng, Chen Clan.

Long Ming summoned her husband Chen Yuan, saying: "I need to go up the mountain for a trip."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Madam, are you going to look for Chuyang?"

Whether to look for her son or for Hu Yueer, Long Ming suddenly wanting to go to Longshe Shan is not a good thing.

If she happened to see Hu Yueer and them and attacked them, wouldn't that be...?

Such a thing is still quite possible; Chen Yuan dared not ask her directly, nor suspect his lady.

Long Ming gazed deeply at Chen Yuan; she understood his thoughts well—they had been married many years, a glance revealed what the other was thinking.

"Don't worry, this time I'm not going to cause trouble for that woman."

"I promised you I wouldn't seek her trouble, so naturally I won't."

Chen Yuan immediately said: "I don't mean that; I just want to ask what you're looking for Chuyang for."

"Has your body encountered another mishap?"

Long Ming said nothing, merely glanced at Chen Yuan, and said: "My body is fine."

"You……" Chen Yuan gritted his teeth: "I'll accompany you."

Long Ming looked astonished at her husband before her, and said: "You're not going to hold down the Chen Clan?"

"The Chen Clan doesn't need me to hold the fort temporarily; your health is more important." Chen Yuan said firmly. This time, he wants to go along to learn more about his wife's health condition; during this period, his wife's body has always shown some abnormalities.

Chen Yuan felt helpless, and he didn't know exactly what the situation was; it had happened before, all concealed by his wife; he knew that, but his wife wouldn't speak, and he didn't dare to ask; some things, asking is useless.

As for Long Ming, Chen Yuan knows her well; some things need her to say them herself; if she doesn't speak, asking is useless.

His son would surely know something; this time he wants to go ask his son to learn about his wife's condition.
