Chapter 63

In the Emperor's sleeping quarters, Li Chen was guiding Li Si's cultivation.

Li Si's cultivation talent was very high, but she was just playful.

Every day she only completed the content Li Chen assigned her, and she wouldn't practice a bit more.

At this moment, Li Chen was teaching Li Si the moves within the "Nine Heavens Dragon Meridian Art".

Because Li Si could not 'tame' her own limbs, she was fighting somewhat chaotically. Li Chen felt a headache just watching, and he could only personally help her position every movement.

Just at this moment, a tall woman appeared.

Chu Ruoyan was wearing an exquisite deep robe; the so-called deep robe was similar to the cheongsam Li Chen knew.

The slit design cleverly outlined the contours of her long legs, and every step exuded endless charm.

Chu Ruoyan's waist was slender, as if one could feel that amazing flexibility and strength with a light pinch.

Her chest was full, and the low-cut design made that piece of tender snow-white skin appear and disappear; when she walked over, it was still swaying, making Li Chen feel very appetizing.

Just seeing her, Li Chen felt somewhat fiery.

Last time it was at the Marriage Mountain, where there were many people around.

This time it was in the palace, so he certainly wouldn't let her leave.

Feeling Li Chen's gaze unabashedly sizing her up, Chu Ruoyan felt a little smug inside: I knew you liked this, that's why I dressed like this!

Women in this world were still very reserved, but reserve was for other men to see; Li Chen was clearly the exception.

"Your Majesty, are you teaching Si to cultivate?" Chu Ruoyan walked to Li Chen's side, curiously watching Li Si's strange posture.

"This child is good at everything, but her limbs are a bit uncoordinated. How has your cultivation been lately?"

Li Chen slowly shifted the topic from Li Si to Chu Ruoyan.

The main course had arrived; who would still eat the side dishes!

Chu Ruoyan indicated that she hadn't slacked off in her cultivation recently, and there was a faint trend of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Piercing Void Realm.

Li Chen let her appropriately demonstrate the cultivation techniques and moves she had been practicing.

As a Sage Realm expert, Li Chen could still provide her with guidance.

Calling it guidance, it was actually, first warming up the dish!

Chu Ruoyan began to demonstrate her moves, and Li Chen would also hand-in-hand correct the shortcomings in her moves.

"Your arms shouldn't be bent too much; the backswing of this sword move might hurt you."

"Don't hold your chest too straight; press it down a bit like this, so you can ensure that when you execute this move, it has enough power."

"Tighten your lower abdomen; yes, sink it down a bit like this, and slowly feel it."

Especially Chu Ruoyan's legs, whether it was the inner thighs or the calves, wherever they didn't conform to the moves, Li Chen would personally help her straighten them.

After the guidance was almost done, Li Chen said: "Your legs are truly nice."

Chu Ruoyan said with a blushing face: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

The sound of on-site guidance became quieter and quieter, and the sound of breathing became more and more rapid.

At this time, Li Si had long since slipped away tactfully.

Seeing that the main course was already warmed up, Li Chen carried Chu Ruoyan into his room; not only did she not resist at all, she might have wanted it even more than Li Chen.

At the same time, in the Chu family's backyard.

Xiao Ming was climbing over the wall to enter; today he had already prepared to take Chu Ruoyan away.

A few more steps, and he would be able to see that goddess he had been thinking about!

These past few days, for the sake of cultivation, he hadn't even seen Chu Ruoyan's face.

However, there were gains; he had now reached the late-stage of the Piercing Void Realm, and his strength had been greatly improved.

At this moment, the one most panicked was the Sage's remnant soul; he had been trying every possible way to stop Xiao Ming this morning.

He said his state might not have fully recovered, and asked Xiao Ming to wait a few more days.

Xiao Ming wouldn't listen to a word of this; he didn't want to wait a single moment and ran over directly.

On the way, the Sage's remnant soul even said that there were people with the aura of the murderer of his family nearby, and asked him to investigate.

Xiao Ming didn't care at all; his family members had long been killed, and his mother's whereabouts had been unknown for more than a day or two; he didn't care about this moment. But if the goddess were gone, wouldn't his years of effort as a lickspittle be in vain!

Hearing this, the Sage's remnant soul was furious; you brat really have the life of a lickspittle.

The Sage's remnant soul wasn't in a hurry either; he had one last trick.

He often came to this place and knew that the Chu family had an ancestor in the Observing Heaven Realm.

Later, as long as he found a way to create some fluctuations when Xiao Ming made his move, the Observing Heaven Realm ancestor would be able to discover it.

At that time, he would definitely come to stop Xiao Ming.

As a master, he would definitely have to help Xiao Ming once as agreed.

And then just fight a couple of times.

Because he needed to possess Xiao Ming and stimulate Xiao Ming's meridians.

This was a huge burden for Xiao Ming.

The Sage's remnant soul could at most help Xiao Ming raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Six Realms Realm; this cultivation was not enough for the Observing Heaven Realm to look at, but it was enough if he wanted to run.

!

But could the Sage's remnant soul run?

He was just stalling for time, letting Xiao Ming's physical strength and meridians be over-consumed until he fainted.

Then the Sage's remnant soul could control Xiao Ming's body, abandon Chu Ruoyan, and escape.

Because Xiao Ming knew the Chu family ancestor, and the Chu family ancestor also knew he came to snatch people because of emotional matters, plus he had already abandoned Chu Ruoyan, he probably wouldn't chase after them and would let Xiao Ming leave.

By the time Xiao Ming woke up, there would be no possibility of taking Chu Ruoyan away.

He would then offer some comfort, saying there was still a chance, and let Xiao Ming cultivate hard.

At this time, Xiao Ming would definitely cultivate seriously.

As the director, the Sage's remnant soul had already prepared the script.

In order to stop Xiao Ming from taking Chu Ruoyan away, the Sage's remnant soul had made more than three preparations.

As a result, when Xiao Ming arrived at the room where Chu Ruoyan lived, Chu Ruoyan was no longer there.

There was only a training outfit Chu Ruoyan had worn, and a sword of Chu Ruoyan's.

He touched this training outfit of Chu Ruoyan's; there was still a faint warmth on it, and the sword also had traces of having been opened.

A bad premonition appeared in Xiao Ming's mind.

He ran directly into the courtyard and grabbed Chu Ruoyan's maid.

"Where is your Miss? Tell me quickly!" Xiao Ming suppressed the urge to roar and said word by word.

"Miss Chu? She has been summoned into the palace by His Majesty." The maid had seen Xiao Ming; after all, Xiao Ming and the other two were all Chu Ruoyan's lickspittles. In the past, in order to understand Chu Ruoyan's preferences, they even bought gifts to curry favor with this maid.

The maid had a pretty good impression of Xiao Ming.

But at this moment, Xiao Ming's face made her somewhat afraid.

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Ming said through gritted teeth.

He pinched her very hard, and the maid only felt her shoulder was very painful.

"My Miss was wearing her training outfit this morning..."

By the time she told the story of Chu Ruoyan, even saying she was scared by Chu Ruoyan drawing her sword,

Xiao Ming finally let her go, and then stood there powerlessly.

Xiao Ming felt his heart was so painful, even more painful than when his entire clan was exterminated.

He could imagine that Chu Ruoyan wearing that training outfit this morning must have been to prepare to elope with him.

Because a suitable training outfit could allow a cultivator to perform at a normal level, it was the best choice for fleeing and being chased.

When Chu Ruoyan saw the maid appear and drew her sword, Xiao Ming judged that this must have been Chu Ruoyan preparing to commit suicide because she didn't want to enter the palace to see that dog Emperor!

How helpless she was!

How much she was looking forward to my arrival at that time!

It was my fault; I should have come earlier!

If Xiao Ming knew that Chu Ruoyan took the sword to guard against him, what would he think?
