Pitiful and lamentable.
Bai Susu is reckless and domineering.
Anything she sets her sights on, she will stop at nothing to take. Whatever she wants to do, she never considers the thoughts of others.
In her childhood,
she often disapproved of Bai Susu’s actions, but was always told by the elders of the sect to yield to Bai Susu because she was a few years older.
Until Bai Li’s death, only then did Bai Susu restrain her temperament somewhat, spending most of her time in focused cultivation.
Zhao Yushuang recalled that stunning glance at Danxia Peak, knowing how dazzling Chen Ye’s true face was.
No need to think,
she knew Bai Susu must have used every method to forcibly coerce Chen Ye!
Otherwise, what man would like someone with such... such childish looks?
Zhao Yushuang sighed lightly in her heart, looking at Chen Ye with a sympathetic gaze.
"Since it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t disturb you any further."
Being smart, seeing through the situation, she naturally wouldn’t stay to be an eyesore, nor would she get involved in Bai Susu’s chaotic scene.
It’s just... somewhat unfortunate.
Chen Ye’s talent in the Alchemy Dao is unparalleled, just the few Top Grade Pills he left have been enough for her to study tirelessly for a long time.
I wonder if there’s a chance to help him escape his predicament...
Zhao Yushuang gave Chen Ye a slight nod, though her gaze carried complex meanings.
Then, she decisively turned and left.
Chen Ye felt strange in his heart.
What kind of look is that from this woman?
Why does it seem like she’s pitying me?
And also as if she’s lamenting for me?
"Still looking? She’s gone far already!"
Bai Susu angrily stomped on Chen Ye’s foot, her gaze seemingly wanting to drill two holes in him,
"Chen Ye! Be honest!"
"What’s your relationship with this woman, really?!"
"Why is she speaking up for you? Are you hiding some unspeakable affair from me?!"
Such words,
Bai Susu wouldn’t have been able to say before.
But after that day, her desire to control Chen Ye seemed to have intensified further.
Chen Ye looked innocent, spreading his hands:
"Truly none. Just met twice at Danxia Peak, barely spoke a few words..."
"I don’t believe you!"
Bai Susu’s eyes widened, her eyes slightly red.
This scoundrel!
Obviously, after having her wholly, he still dares to flirt in front of her face today!
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
"You liar! You’re a big liar! If you can lie to me, what can’t you do?"
She sniffed, her voice suddenly softening,
"Chen Ye, be honest! Do you think she’s more feminine than me, better-looking than me?"
Chen Ye was slightly stunned.
He hadn’t expected that Bai Susu cared quite a bit about her appearance.
His heart softened, and he spoke tenderly:
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you thinking? In my eyes, you’re the best-looking."
"And also... the most obedient."
Those last three words, he deliberately lowered his voice so only the two of them could hear.
Bai Susu trembled, her face turning crimson.
Obedient?
Who’s obedient?!
She wanted to retort, but remembering her own tearful compliance that day...
"Hmph!"
She haughtily turned her head, though her words didn’t concede, her initially tense little face visibly softened,
"In broad daylight, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Chen Ye spread his hands: "There, Susu is about to cry, can I care about others?"
Of course.
Though Bai Susu’s emotions were a bit out of control, she rationally set up an array to prevent others from eavesdropping.
No matter what Chen Ye says now, others can’t hear.
But,
since he needed to appease the little darling, he had to say something sweet.
"Shut up! I already told you not to call me Susu, call me True Inheritor Bai!"
The girl fiercely glared at Chen Ye.
She was never used to others addressing her with intimate tones.
"Okay, okay, True Inheritor Bai."
Chen Ye followed her lead, leaning forward slightly, wrapping his arms around the girl’s slender waist, whispering in her ear,
"Who else could compare to True Inheritor Bai? Especially when holding the True Inheritor in one’s arms, it feels so comfortable..."
Feet not touching the ground, indulging him completely.
Recalling that day.
Even Chen Ye felt a bit reminiscent.
"!!"
The girl’s face visibly turned red, her head about to steam!
This... this scoundrel!
What nonsense is he talking about!
Initially, Bai Susu didn’t understand his meaning, but... seeing his reminiscing expression, she immediately realized.
Back then, she was crying to come down!
"I am the Spirit Hidden True Inheritance! You... you, the Instructor, stop getting close to me!"
Though her words were fierce, her body unconsciously leaned closer into Chen Ye’s embrace.
"Okay, okay, but True Inheritor Bai, dare I ask where we’re heading now? We’re in the main hall right now, setting an array briefly is fine; others assume we have private matters to discuss, but if it’s too long, it’ll be inappropriate."
Chen Ye smoothly took her small hand, holding it in his palm, giving it a gentle squeeze, his thumb lightly rubbing the back of her hand.
Fortunately, Dubhe Hall is large in size, and this corner they occupied is insignificant.
And since the Cultivation Realm has Divine Sense,
most cultivators set up a simple array to prevent others from overhearing private conversations.
Thus,
Bai Susu’s array-setting behavior is perfectly normal.
Otherwise,
even with Chen Ye’s thick skin, he’d feel embarrassed to set an array publicly in Dubhe Hall and act intimately.
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s words,
Bai Susu calmed down a bit, trying to keep a stern face, hoping to regain her previous authority.
"Hmm, follow me, to the Dragon Transformation Forbidden Land at Tianmen Peak. Since the Sect Master has granted you the qualification for the Dragon Transformation Pool, don’t waste it. It’s just right to refine your Spiritual Power; your cultivation has progressed too rapidly recently, and it’s somewhat unstable."
