Chapter 51: Deep Love

When Su Chen learned from the system that Liu Liyan's love for him was calculated in units of hundreds of billions.

No matter how he humiliated or hurt her, she would resolutely throw herself at him.

Su Chen then made a major decision in his heart.

Even if someday the Wanjie Shangcheng Card gains more points, he will treat Liu Liyan well and repay her with sincerity, this girl who fills his heart and mind entirely.

Because Su Chen knew that if he let Liu Liyan slip away like this, he would regret it for life; he also knew it would be extremely hard to meet another woman as devoted as Liu Liyan, and no one would still choose him after being covered in wounds.

"Give up cultivation resources?" Liu Liyan raised her beautiful eyebrows and locked eyes with Su Chen.

Su Chen nodded: "If you give up your current cultivation resources and your status as Saintess, would you be willing to come with me?"

"Impossible!" she replied.

Su Chen's heart gave a sudden jolt.

Then Liu Liyan earnestly continued: "I will bring spiritual stones and treasures with me; if there are no spiritual stones, you will be destitute, unable to cultivate, your progress will stall, and I don't want that."

"I must bring enough spiritual stones and treasures for your cultivation and squandering, and go with you."

"Ah Chen, do you want to leave Donghuang?"

"Probably."

"Then you cannot abandon me."

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Su Chen, unable to restrain his emotions, gently stopped Liu Liyan's slender waist, his chin resting on her fragrant shoulder.

At this moment a sour feeling rose from the tip of his nose, his eyes sore, his vision slightly blurred.

Clearly she knows nothing, unaware that she possesses the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus, also unaware that she possesses the Wanjie Shangcheng Card.

Yet she still resolutely chose to rush about with him in times of crisis.

【Ding!】

【Detected love fluctuation, Deep Love Value increased by 30 points.】

【Note: Deep Love Value is the degree of deep love held by the holder of the Wanjie Shangcheng Card for the bound target Liu Liyan; upon reaching full marks of 100 points, the mysterious mall interface can be opened to purchase the Super Ultimate Dao Emperor Weapon.】

【Deep Love Value can also be exchanged for points, each point of Deep Love Value can be exchanged for points.】

Su Chen stared dumbfounded: "???"

Is this three hundred thousand points?

Deep Love Value actually has two uses?

One can save it for when the mysterious mall interface opens, or use it to exchange for 300,000 points?

【For 30 points of Deep Love Value, the corresponding progress is: heart-to-heart understanding; full marks correspond to unwavering fidelity.】

【Ding! Points increase 2 points, 4 points……30 points……】

【Total points of the Wanjie Shangcheng: …… Deep Love Value totals 30 points…… points continue to increase……】

If one speaks of these days of getting along and understanding, Su Chen feels more guilt and compensation toward Liu Liyan, merely because he owes her too much.

And now,

he has genuinely been moved.

Not only because of her breathtaking appearance, not merely because of being moved… well, there's still something he can't let go of, especially her face.

After the kiss, Liu Liyan sensibly said farewell and left the Tianxuan Dao Sect.

And while Su Chen saw off Liu Liyan, until her figure completely disappeared, he immediately entered his second sister's chambers, excitedly saying: "Mother, Second Sister, no need to pretend your meridians are damaged; leave the Tianxuan Dao Sect at once."

"Summon the sect's remaining disciples and servants, notify Black Dragon to get ready."

"If my prediction is correct, at most six hours, Ye Xuan will move against us."

"The heavens of the Donghuang Region are about to change."

"He, Second Sister, and Madam Su should go to the Ye Family and meet with Sect Leader Su."

"The wind fills the tower as the mountain rain approaches."

At the same time, Lin Jianran also received a jade slip transmission from the Qingming Sect.

Upon learning of Ye Xuan's jade slip transmission, her mind was completely dazed.

Her older brother Ye Xuan had not forgotten her; the previous transmission was merely a pretense.

Lin Jianran, her heart surged with excitement and joy.

Although she didn't know what was happening, her older brother Ye Xuan still kept her in her thoughts.

After all, with the power of the Lin Mansion, they fundamentally lacked the qualifications to be courted by Ye Xuan, so they also didn't know what was happening in the Qingming Sect.

She first excitedly touched the inferior ornament on her head, then glanced at her already outdated clothing, wanting to dress up beautifully, but lamented the lack of decent adornments.

All blamed Su Chen.

They had nearly emptied the entire Lin Mansion, which included a large number of ornaments crafted from precious refining materials.

Now it left her only able to shrink back in the Lin Mansion; after all, without the spiritual treasures Su Chen provided, she couldn't show off before those young ladies, dressed so crudely and tastelessly, going out would surely invite ridicule.

"Miss Lin, what are you dawdling over? Hurry up and follow me to the Qingming Sect to see the Young Master."

Lin Jianran snapped to attention, her whole body shivering: "I, may I be allowed to change my outfit……"

"Do you think this is a wedding? There's no time for you to primp!" the Wu Zong Realm's personal guard, face grim, said sternly: "Be careful, or I'll exterminate your entire Lin Mansion!"

Lin Jianran felt she was about to burst from frustration.

Her current attire, even she couldn't bear to look at it—old and rustic, she could only use the lowest-grade Plain Face Pill, with no decoration on her head.

How could she, before her childhood friend Older Brother Ye Xuan, display her lovely looks, and how could she compete with a princess?

Holding negative emotions, Lin Jianran was seized by the Wu Zong Realm guard like a chick and taken straight to the Qingming Sect.

Upon entering the Qingming Hall,

Lin Jianran's heart began to pound; facing her former childhood friend, her heart filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

From dozens of meters away, Lin Jianran gazed upon Ye Xuan seated on the gilded throne, heroic and extraordinary, his visage refined, making her heart flutter like a startled deer.

"Yan… cough, Lin Jianran!" When Ye Xuan was abolished, the woman before him was this very woman; he had once thought she was a fairy.

Walked out of the Eastern Wasteland, encountered the imperial princess, encountered the holy maiden, after various romantic encounters, then looking back at Lin Jianran now, she's so unsophisticated it's ridiculous.

Upon hearing that cry of "Lin Jianran", Lin Jianran instantly widened the distance between them by thousands of mountains and ravines.

Her older brother Ye Xuan would no longer call her Yanran; the recovered Lin Jianran, pinching her voice, shyly replied: "Ye Xuan older brother, it's me, I'm Yanran! Ye Xuan older brother, will you finally accept me as your concubine?"

Lin Jianran was shy, her face flushed red.

A pair of small hands clenched the hem of her clothing, her heart both nervous and excited.

She could feel that all the gazes of the cultivators present were focused on her.

Right!

There was also a conspicuous figure, a young man wearing a Jiaolong robe; could he be a prince of the Great Yu Dynasty?

Moreover,

His gaze…

Good heavens!

Is he looking at me?

Could it be that he was captivated by her beauty that could topple cities and nations, summoning her here, perhaps hoping she would join the Great Yu Dynasty?

Lin Jianran, who had been propped up by Su Chen earlier and lost sense of her own identity, went into a frenzy of imagination?

She had no idea what her standing was in Ye Xuan's heart at this moment.

She even thought that with her vulgar looks, she could catch the eye of the Sixth Prince of the Great Yu Dynasty.

But the Sixth Prince's words doused her with cold water, bringing her back to reality: "Lin Jianran, your brother-in-law sent you here because there is something he wants to ask you."
