Chapter 58: Xiao Ruoyu's State of Mind

"Ah, where am I?"

Xia Qingxue woke up slowly, opened her beautiful eyes, and discovered she was in the middle of a valley.

"Qingxue."

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyu also woke up; she clutched her head, her face deathly pale, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

"Sister Ruoyu, are you alright?" Xia Qingxue asked as she helped Xiao Ruoyu up.

"I'm fine, it's just..."

Xiao Ruoyu shook her head and said with a bitter smile.

"Cough~ cough."

Seeing the two women ignoring him entirely, Su Chen couldn't help but cough a few times, interrupting their conversation.

Hearing this familiar coughing sound, both women turned their heads in succession, looked at that handsome face, and immediately cried out in pleasant surprise:

"Husband!"

"Su Chen!"

"Mm."

Su Chen nodded and said with a smile, "It's good that you two are alright."

Listening to Su Chen's familiar tone, Xiao Ruoyu felt a weight lift from her heart; it was clear that the demon Chu Yang must have been finished off by Su Chen's people.

She felt secretly relieved, thankful that Su Chen had arrived in time, otherwise she and Xia Qingxue would have been in danger.

"Husband, was it you who saved me and Sister Ruoyu just now?"

Xia Qingxue looked at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

This man was always able to bring her surprises and provide her with infinite security.

This feeling made her infatuated.

"That's right."

Su Chen smiled and touched Xia Qingxue's delicate nose.

"Husband is truly amazing, to be able to find us so quickly."

Xia Qingxue said with a face full of admiration.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "My woman, of course I have to protect her."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingxue felt sweet inside; her lips curled into a smile, she playfully stuck out her tongue, and looked at Su Chen, her eyes shimmering with a hazy glow.

However, when Xiao Ruoyu heard this sentence, her heart ached; she bit her red lips, forcing herself not to overthink it, but a trace of bitterness still welled up in her heart.

The "woman" in Su Chen's words certainly did not include her.

Thinking of her good friend being protected by the side of such a man with powerful influence, she felt a wave of loss in her heart.

This feeling was very strange; she clearly wished for Xia Qingxue to be well, but seeing that Xia Qingxue occupied such an important position in Su Chen's heart, she had an indescribable feeling.

"Husband, thank you!"

Xia Qingxue raised her head, her beautiful eyes revealing deep gratitude as she spoke.

After saying this, she dove straight into Su Chen's embrace and took the initiative to offer a sweet kiss.

If Su Chen hadn't intervened, she and Xiao Ruoyu would likely have been in grave danger.

She had already secretly sworn in her heart that from now on, she must cherish Su Chen doubly and repay him well.

Damn! I got kissed by the young lady!

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative, pulling Xia Qingxue into his arms and kissing her gently.

A pair of wandering hands quietly climbed onto those towering mounds.

"Mmph..."

After a long while, the two reluctantly separated, looking at each other while panting, their eyes filled with deep love.

If it weren't for Xiao Ruoyu being nearby, the two would likely have been like dry wood meeting a raging fire, sparking off and becoming uncontrollable.

Xia Qingxue's pretty face was flushed; after meeting Su Chen's gaze with her watery eyes for a few moments, she shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Silly girl..."

Seeing this, Su Chen reached out and ruffled her black, beautiful hair, smiling.

He could feel that deep within Xia Qingxue's heart, she was filled with a profound love for him.

Xiao Ruoyu watched Su Chen and Xia Qingxue flirting, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

She pressed her luscious, cherry-red lips together and said in a low voice, "You two continue, I won't disturb you."

Having said that, she stood up, preparing to leave.

"Ah!"

Having just stood up, due to her heavy injuries, her legs gave way, and she lunged forward.

"Careful!"

At the critical moment, Su Chen was quick-witted and fast-handed, grabbing Xiao Ruoyu and pulling her into his arms.

"Thank you!"

Smelling the masculine scent radiating from Su Chen, Xiao Ruoyu's pretty face turned red, her beautiful eyes filled with deep gratitude and shyness.

She struggled slightly, wanting to break free from Su Chen's embrace.

But Su Chen's arms were like iron pincers, locking her firmly in place, locking her firmly in place, making it impossible to break free.

"Please let me go, I can go back myself..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ruoyu said in a low voice, her beautiful eyes filled with shame and anger.

"Don't move!"

Su Chen said with a frown.

He clearly felt the delicate body in his arms trembling.

"W-what are you doing?"

Xiao Ruoyu sensed Su Chen's unusual behavior, her heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed.

"Be good, open your mouth."

Su Chen did not know when a black Pill had appeared in his hand, and he gently pressed it against Xiao Ruoyu's soft, rosy lips.

"This is..."

Xiao Ruoyu was startled.

However, she did not refuse; she opened her small mouth and swallowed the Pill from Su Chen's hand.

A moment later, she felt a warm current surge through her limbs and bones, causing her severely injured body to slowly recover.

She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Su Chen in confusion, "Is what you gave me a Heavenly Spirit Pill?"

"Mm."

Su Chen nodded slightly and smiled softly, "This is a Healing Sacred Medicine; it has an excellent restorative effect on your injuries."

The Heavenly Spirit Pill could be considered Su Chen's most prized treasure, one he usually couldn't bear to take out and use.

But today, in order to save Xiao Ruoyu, he could not care about that.

"This..."

Xiao Ruoyu felt a wave of emotion in her heart.

She had not expected Su Chen to use such a precious Pill to heal her.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill was an ancient wonder-drug that could help a Cultivator rapidly replenish Spiritual Power and repair their body.

It is rumored that this Pill was refined by the ancient Shennong the Great; a single Heavenly Spirit Pill is worth a fortune, and in this era where Great Emperors do not appear and Quasi-Emperors dominate, every Heavenly Spirit Pill used is one less in existence.

Yet, in front of her, Su Chen had given her a Heavenly Spirit Pill without the slightest hesitation, which was enough to show how much he cared about her.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Ruoyu bit her rosy lips lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude as she spoke softly.

"No need to thank me."

Su Chen waved his hand, "As long as you still remember the agreement between us, that is enough."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyu could not help but blush, her heartbeat becoming rapid.

She gave Su Chen a coquettish glare, "Who said anything to you about an agreement!"

Having said that, she broke free from Su Chen's embrace and walked forward.

Seeing this, Su Chen wore a wicked smile, "Hehe, no one has ever dared to deny an agreement made by this Young Master."

His figure moved; with one arm he pulled Xia Qingxue into his embrace, and with the other hand he grabbed Xiao Ruoyu, flying toward the Su Mansion with both women.

"Ah! You scoundrel..."

Feeling her body being lifted by Su Chen, Xiao Ruoyu shouted with a blushing face.

However, how could she possibly be a match for Su Chen?

"Sister Ruoyu, you should stop struggling."

Seeing this, Xia Qingxue could not help but cover her mouth and giggle, "Sister Ruoyu, I am very curious, what kind of agreement do you and my husband have?"

"Little girl, why do you care so much?"

Xiao Ruoyu put on the appearance of a big sister and glared at Xia Qingxue.

"Hee hee, even if you don't say it, I know."
