Chapter 798: Qi Ruohua: Yuheng Takes Down Chen Chuyang

"That path, I have walked it; it's very difficult, so I advise you to stay."

"Longshe Shan is excellent; the spiritual energy concentration here is rich, very suitable for your cultivation. Staying here to cultivate, I can't say your progress will be a thousand miles a day, but at least it can improve rapidly; compared with Heavenly Heart Sect, it's only faster, not slower."

"Hongchen, you should still listen to my advice."

"Put aside so‑called dignity and pride; moreover, even if you follow Chen Chuyang, you can still keep your pride, there's no difference."

"Look at Qi Ruohua, a dignified Female Emperor of a dynasty, yet she chose Chen Chuyang. In such a vast dynasty, with so many geniuses and strong ones, why is it Chen Chuyang in particular?"

"There's nothing else; Chen Chuyang is simply too powerful. His prospects, future, and character have no issues at all."

"The main point is, Chen Chuyang truly treats his own people well, with heartfelt devotion. Look at the people around Chen Chuyang; who among them isn't devoted to him?"

"Where can one find such a person?"

"If it weren't a matter of status, Tianlian Zhenren would want to stay, to settle down completely."

"The hardships I've endured, the rain I've been soaked in, I don't want my disciple to go through them again."

"That path is truly difficult, very difficult; being able to find a man to rely on—what's wrong with that?"

"Regardless of gender, it's the same: find a backing, rely on it as long as possible, at least it lets one grow quickly."

"Master, please stop bringing this up, disciple..."

"Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth; she still hasn't gotten past that mental hurdle. The master really is such—every time he brings up this matter, it can't be avoided."

"Shang Hongchen didn't want to listen or talk, and turned to do work."

"Tianlian Zhenren, seeing this, shook his head: 'Alas, being in blessings yet not knowing them.'"

"If I weren't a member of the Heavenly Heart Sect, perhaps..."

…

Three days later.

During these three days on Longshe Shan, it was very quiet; the others restrained themselves, not letting any sound escape.

The atmosphere was oppressive—no, it should be said that Longshe Shan exuded an inexplicable aura.

On the third day after Qi Ruohua arrived, staying beside Chen Chuyang, Shang Hongxue was the same; only Jing Yuheng felt rather awkward.

Her status is different, and she cannot feel at ease.

These three days tormented her.

Finally, the day arrived when she could leave Longshe Shan.

She couldn't help but exhale; before departing, Shang Hongxue winked at Qi Ruohua, very covertly.

Qi Ruohua said farewell to Chen Chuyang; before parting, the two embraced each other.

Chen Chuyang saw them down the mountain; Shang Hongxue smiled and said, "Everyone's gone, Brother Chuyang, aren't you reluctant for them to leave?"

"Cough cough cough."

That sour taste was very strong.

"No, it's just some sentiment; I don't know when they'll return to Longshe Shan next time."

Shang Hongxue didn't mock Chen Chuyang; instead she looked into the distance and said, "Indeed, maybe it will be a very, very long time later."

After this time, it's quite possible Qi Ruohua won't come at all, after all, facing her makes Qi Ruohua very awkward.

Shang Hongxue is the same; when awkward, still very awkward.

Between the two, they still cannot be frank with each other; even though they walked that path together, they still cannot let go of themselves, and thus cannot meet openly.

A certain thought of Chen Chuyang cannot be realized, at least not now.

Both are very reserved; when alone, they can be more open.

Chen Chuyang reached out, holding Shang Hongxue's hand, and said gently, "What did Qi Ruohua say to you that makes you protect her so much? I even thought you were going to fight her."

"Tch." Shang Hongxue sneered, "Even if you gave her a hundred doses of courage, she wouldn't dare fight me; I'm the principal wife, understand?"

"Only I have the right to hit her, she has none to hit me; when she sees me, she must call me sister."

Chen Chuyang gave a thumbs‑up; my Hongxue is the most awesome.

"Then did she call you sister?"

Shang Hongxue smiled, nodded, grinned and said, "Of course she called me, otherwise, do you think I'd let her accompany you alone?"

"She lowered her head, recognized me as sister; from now on she'll stand on my side, Brother Chuyang. If in the future you seek another woman without my consent, hehe, I'll let you know my methods."

She clenched her fist, threatening Chen Chuyang.

That demeanor was very arrogant, very swaggering.

Chen Chuyang immediately bent down, lifted her; Shang Hongxue panicked, "Brother Chuyang, what are you doing?"

"You tell me, I want to experience your methods."

"Wait, hold on, Brother Chuyang."

Chen Chuyang ignored her and walked toward the room.

Then, there was no after.

…

After leaving Longshe Shan, Qi Ruohua turned back and asked Jing Yuheng, "What did Shang Hongxue tell you?"

Jing Yuheng stammered, "Nothing, nothing, nothing."

"Is that so?" Qi Ruohua said lightly, "You and she must have reached some agreement; I guess it involves me."

"Is it that she had you keep an eye on me, making you her inside agent?"

Jing Yuheng fell silent.

Qi Ruohua continued to guess, "Did she promise you other conditions?"

"I guess, is it that she allowed you to become Chen Chuyang's woman?"

Jing Yuheng lifted his head, staring at the Your Majesty before him.

She spread her hands, gave a bitter smile, and she knew she couldn't hide from Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, since you already know, why are you still teasing me?

Qi Ruohua took Jing Yuheng's hand and gently said, "Yuheng, do you still remember what we said before?"

Jing Yuheng froze, her face suddenly turning red.

When they were young, they were together; they once said that whenever they encountered anything good, they would share it with each other, even if it was a man, it would be the same.

It was just a joke back then; it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

But.

Your Majesty, that was just a childhood joke.

Jing Yuheng, a ruler does not joke.

Qi Ruohua raised her hand, pinching Jing Yuheng's face, and said with a lecherous smile, "My Yuheng is very handsome, the type men love most, dashing and spirited; Chen Chuyang will surely like someone like you."

I've noticed, Chen Chuyang is giving you looks; are you two...?

No. Jing Yuheng quickly shook her head: "We haven't done anything."

Your Majesty, you mustn't speak nonsense; we are innocent.

Qi Ruohua continued to admire her face, gently saying, "For now we are innocent, but later, it's hard to say."

Yuheng, actually, I don't object to you following him; Chen Chuyang is a good man, worth following, and besides, he's different.

Jing Yuheng raised her head, somewhat puzzled.

Qi Ruohua leaned in and whispered, "After being with him, you will naturally understand my words."

Being with him, you will find your cultivation improves much faster, far better than your bitter solitary practice.

Jing Yuheng widened her eyes, staring at Qi Ruohua; sure enough, Your Majesty's cultivation broke through again.

It wasn't her illusion; it was a real breakthrough.

Your Majesty, your cultivation?

Not bad, I've broken through; just one step away from the True Realm.

Qi Ruohua openly admitted, "You can do it too, Yuheng; give it your all and take him down."

I have high hopes for you.

My Great General.
