Chapter 253: 245. Counting the Spoils of Slaying a Spirit Severing Expert (2/2)

245. Counting the Spoils of Slaying a Spirit Severing Expert (2/2)

After sobbing for quite a while, Xiao Qingyue finally stopped crying.

Once she stopped, her state of mind gradually calmed down; recalling that she had actually cried just now, she suddenly felt very embarrassed.

As the dignified Sect Master of a Nascent Soul sect, to have been teased into tears by a Deacon under her own command was truly shameful.

Seeing Xiao Qingyue's pitiful appearance with tear stains still lingering, Chen An couldn't help but feel some pity for her, but he wanted to torment her even more.

He discovered that for a high-and-mighty female powerhouse like Xiao Qingyue, crying created such a stark contrast that it really hit his personal preference.

Feeling very uncomfortable under his gaze, Xiao Qingyue turned around, lay with her back to him, and silently rolled herself in the quilt as if nothing had happened, using this to hide the embarrassment in her heart.

It was just too shameful earlier.

She was already over a thousand years old, yet she had cried until her eyes were red like a little girl.

Just thinking about it made her curl her toes; she felt a sense of social death.

At this point, neither of them spoke anymore.

For a time, the air became somewhat quiet.

Chen An thought for a moment, took off the clothes he had just put on, and lay back down, pulling Xiao Qingyue into his arms while lying on his side, and whispered into her ear:

"I think I'll go back later; I'll keep you company for a while longer."

"If you really care about me and want to consider my feelings, then please go back now."

Xiao Qingyue's words were very heart-chilling, but they were indeed a fact.

Although she had already been thoroughly ravished by Chen An, she had no feelings for him and even harbored some resentment toward him.

Because Chen An's existence only made her feel humiliated and suppressed.

However, it wasn't entirely without merit; at the very least, it allowed her to enjoy the pleasure of intimacy between a man and a woman.

It was just that this bout of pleasure could not make up for the damage caused by the humiliation she had suffered during this time.

Chen An was also aware of this, so he tried to change the subject: "The Xuanhuang Sect can basically be recovered now. Do you have any thoughts on what name we should take after the two sects merge?"

As he said this, his hands, which were wrapped around Xiao Qingyue's delicate body, were not idle, constantly wandering to take advantage of her.

Xiao Qingyue felt quite comfortable, so she acted as if she knew nothing and let him take advantage of her.

Facing the question he asked, Xiao Qingyue replied: "What other thoughts could there be? We can only take back the old name and call it the Tiandi Xuanhuang Sect."

"I think we could pick a new name."

Chen An suggested.

"Heh." Xiao Qingyue laughed and said mercilessly: "Why pick a new name? Tiandi Xuanhuang Sect is the most suitable name. It is the name passed down since the sect was founded; it only disappeared for a while after the split halfway through. Now that we can merge the sects, if we don't call it the Tiandi Xuanhuang Sect, what should we call it?"

"Let's call it the Fengling Yueying Sect."

Chen An really proposed a sect name.

After hearing this, Xiao Qingyue was stunned for a moment, not knowing for a moment if Chen An was serious or joking.

She turned slightly, and upon seeing the expression on Chen An's face, she realized that Chen An was actually serious.

"Are you overthinking this?"

"Is the name of a sect something you can just change as you please?"

"The Tiandi Xuanhuang Sect has a heritage; do you think this is a sect you founded?"

Every one of Xiao Qingyue's sentences carried a rhetorical tone, which made one feel uncomfortable listening to it.

After hearing this, Chen An frowned slightly and was equally blunt:

"I protected the Heaven and Earth Sect, and I conquered the Xuanhuang Sect. I can change the name if I want to. To put it bluntly, these two sects are mine now. At best, you are just an acting Sect Master doing things for me; it is not your place to make the decisions."

"You are occupying the magpie's nest!"

Xiao Qingyue issued a strong condemnation.

Chen An did not defend this point; instead, he admitted it generously and responded arrogantly:

"That's right, I am occupying the magpie's nest. Not only that, but I have also taken you, the fledgling magpie, as my own."

"You have only obtained my body, you will never obtain my heart!"

Xiao Qingyue could not out-argue Chen An, nor could she beat him, so she could only retort with such self-deception.

Chen An did not give her a chance to change the subject and circled back to it, saying:

"No matter how you think about it, and no matter how unconvinced you are, the Tiandi Xuanhuang Sect has already become history. From now on, it will be renamed the Fengling Yueying Sect."

"I don't have the ability to change the name for you. I'm afraid of inciting public anger from the whole sect, becoming the enemy of the whole sect, and being besieged to death the very same day. If you have the ability, go change it yourself; don't make things difficult for me, the acting Sect Master."

Xiao Qingyue's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, and when she said the four words "acting Sect Master" at the end, she clearly emphasized them significantly.

Chen An replied: "I will naturally handle this matter. When the day of the sect merger comes, I will use the Ever-Changing Mask to transform into your appearance and announce this in front of the whole sect. If anyone is unconvinced, I will beat them until they are."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue suddenly lost her voice.

Because she discovered that what Chen An said was not difficult for him to achieve; he completely had enough strength to beat all the cultivators in the Heaven and Earth Sect and the Xuanhuang Sect into submission.

"I suddenly have the mood for it; let's do it again."

Chen An said this very abruptly.

Xiao Qingyue raised her hands in opposition mentally, but her body supported it by raising her legs; in the end, she half-reluctantly cooperated with Chen An.

About half an incense stick later, the room returned to peace.

Chen An glanced at the notification message, and his gaze quickly fell back onto Xiao Qingyue's face. While helping her tidy up the messy hair on her forehead, he said to her:

"Give me some secret manuals for Ice-type Dharma Spells."

"You are an Alchemist who specializes in Fire Spirit Root; what do you need Ice-type Dharma Spell manuals for?"

Xiao Qingyue asked in confusion.

Chen An answered jokingly: "You might not believe it, but I am actually an Ice Spirit Root cultivator just like you."

"Heh."

Xiao Qingyue let out a cold laugh, not believing him at all.

Chen An did not offer her any explanation, feeling it unnecessary; after obtaining a few ice-type Dharma Spell manuals from her, he soon left her Cave Abode.

……

Deacon Cave Abode Area, "Wen" Cave Abode.

Chen An had just returned to his room when he saw Wen Zhiyun lying on the bed sleeping.

Wen Zhiyun was not actually asleep, merely resting with her eyes closed.

Upon hearing the sound of Chen An earth-tunneling into the room, she opened her beautiful eyes and sat up from the bed, looking at Chen An with some anger as she said sarcastically:

"Staying out for an entire night, finally willing to come back?"

Last night was supposed to be her turn to spend the night with Chen An, but Chen An had gone out and not returned, only coming back from Xiao Qingyue's side on the morning of the second day, which was now.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Chen An took the initiative to get on the bed and be a sycophant to Wen Zhiyun, doting on her well.

During their intimacy, he asked Wen Zhiyun to call him "Daddy" a few times to flirt, and Wen Zhiyun complied very obediently.

After all, they were an old married couple who had been together for so many years and had played every kind of game; she didn't feel there was anything to calling him "Daddy" twice, just a common flirting technique.

At most, when she had to call it, Wen Zhiyun would habitually roll her eyes at him, say a few tsundere words with annoyance, and then proceed with what they were doing.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

"As expected, my Zhiyun is the best. Unlike that high and mighty Sect Master, who wouldn't call me 'Daddy' even if it killed her, and even cried from feeling wronged—so boring."

Chen An held Wen Zhiyun in his arms as they lay resting together, and upon recalling the sight of Xiao Qingyue crying like a pear blossom in the rain last night, he couldn't help but complain to Wen Zhiyun.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiyun immediately became angry; she turned around to glare at Chen An and coldly questioned him: "Chen, what do you mean by that? You actually compare me to another woman?"

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Chen An hurriedly tried to remedy it: "No comparison, no comparison, I was just saying it casually. That Xiao Qingyue isn't worthy of being compared to you; in my heart, she isn't even as important as a single hair of yours."

"Hmph, all you know is how to be glib."

Wen Zhiyun gave Chen An a charming roll of her eyes and very magnanimously forgave him.

Seeing this, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief, then sensibly acted as a sycophant for her one more time, thoroughly pleasing this tsundere concubine who was rarely so magnanimous.

……

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the dead of night.

Adhering to the principle of treating everyone equally and sharing the favor, Chen An went to different rooms to linger with his five wives and concubines several times before he could finally break away and return to his own room to attend to his own affairs.

He had originally intended to refine Spirit Stones to cultivate, but just as he took out the Spirit Stones, he suddenly remembered a Storage Ring that had been nearly forgotten.

It was a Storage Ring obtained after killing Cao Dian during the great war between the two sects some time ago.

The Storage Ring of a Spirit Severing powerhouse must certainly contain many good things.

Hopefully, there will be a surprise.

Thinking this, Chen An extended his Divine Sense into the Storage Ring to take stock of the spoils inside.
