Chen Ye’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.
This girl really dares to do as she pleases...
He took a step forward, intending to comfort her with a few words.
But Bai Susu suddenly turned her head, extending her delicate finger, fiercely poking into Chen Ye’s chest while staring at him intently with a solemn expression:
"Chen Ye, listen carefully to what I have to say."
"Although I won’t find someone for you, I know that most men are not very disciplined."
"Especially for someone like you... once you’ve had a taste of the pleasures, you become a bull in a china shop."
When saying this, her cheeks flushed slightly, yet she maintained her composure, continuing,
"I can overlook your past flings, and even... if someday a clueless enchantress captures your soul, or if you really can’t resist and want to... want to have a taste..."
The words "have a taste" were said with great difficulty, as if squeezed out from between her teeth.
But she still took a deep breath and made the biggest concession she could:
"As long as you don’t treat me like a thief, sneaking around outside, I can... I can turn a blind eye!"
At this point, the girl seemed relieved, her demeanor noticeably relaxed.
Enough.
In the coming year, she feared there wouldn’t be any time available.
Since she couldn’t be with him, let others accompany him instead...
Moreover, as if anticipating something, she decided to make her words even more decisive to prevent this guy from playing dumb when the time comes.
Bai Susu lifted her chin, half-threatening and half-serious as she snorted:
"Not only that, when I return next time, I want to see other women with you! If I come back and find you still alone, just wandering around, it means you’ve hidden them, you’re guilty, deliberately deceiving me! Don’t blame me for not being polite!"
Chen Ye was listening to her so-called "generous" rules, inwardly marveling at her contradictory words.
But hearing these final words, his entire body suddenly froze, his wry smile stiffening on his face.
Not because of this absurd demand.
"Next time... come back?"
Chen Ye’s heart jumped, frowning slightly.
"Where are you going?"
If it were just a routine sect task or closed-door cultivation, she would never use such a tone.
Seeing Chen Ye react so quickly, a flicker of panic flashed in Bai Susu’s eyes.
She released her finger poking Chen Ye’s chest, turned around, and pretended to casually tuck her golden hair behind her ear, speaking in a light tone:
"It’s not a big deal. You can see that I’m in the late Foundation Establishment period now."
As she spoke, the powerful aura belonging to the late Foundation Establishment period gently rippled across her body, an energy potent enough to secure a position in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The girl looked up at the cold full moon in the night sky, her voice resolute:
"In a few days, I’m going to visit Qi Kingdom to settle some old accounts, it’s been delayed for too long and it’s time to deal with them. I’m going to... exact revenge for my father’s death!"
When mentioning "revenge for father’s death," the killing intent in her eyes practically materialized.
Chen Ye remained silent.
He knew about Bai Susu’s father.
Over ten years ago,
True Man Baili of Lingyin Sect was ambushed and killed in a trap set by the two sects, Emotion Crossing and Myriad Puppets. This prodigy with potential to reach Nascent Soul met an untimely demise.
This has been Bai Susu’s driving force to cultivate relentlessly over the years.
Currently, tensions between Lingyin and Emotion Crossing are fierce.
She has already reached the late Foundation Establishment period.
This journey is inevitable.
It’s just surprising that it came so quickly.
Initially, Chen Ye thought Bai Susu would seek revenge after forming her Core...
But by the time she reaches Core Formation, who knows how many of her past enemies would have died, making revenge futile and self-deceptive.
Of course, the most important aspect is that Bai Susu can’t wait any longer.
The blonde girl turned around, seeing the complexity in Chen Ye’s eyes, suddenly revealing a radiant smile:
"Don’t make that face, it’s not like I’m not coming back."
"Emotion Crossing Sect has four venerables who participated in the ambush on my father; I’ll return once I’ve dealt with them."
"But they’re no simple task, this trip may take at least a year, possibly several. While I’m gone, without anyone watching you, you, this big lecher, might be secretly thrilled!"
Saying this, she pretended to glare at Chen Ye fiercely.
"So, I’m serious about what I said earlier! If I come back and find no one by your side, I’ll be angry! I mean it!"
This isn’t Bai Susu being contradictory.
She understands that in the future, she will definitely reach Core Formation and perhaps Nascent Soul, and then destroy Emotion Crossing and Myriad Puppets.
The time she can spare for Chen Ye is scarce.
Since she can’t be with him, someone needs to be...
This guy is definitely so deeply in love with her.
If she’s not around, he’ll probably be very lonely!
If someone is with him during future battles, she won’t need to worry either.
Looking at the girl’s apparent sincerity,
How could Chen Ye still be lost in thought?
He gazed at Bai Susu.
Under the moonlight, the girl’s eyes were already slightly red.
This girl...
How could she be so foolish and yet so endearing?
"Alright."
Chen Ye suddenly spoke, his voice low and gentle.
He reached out his hand, gently stroking the girl’s silky golden hair, murmured softly,
"Since it’s True Inheritor Bai’s command, I dare not disobey."
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu’s tense shoulders visibly relaxed, she sniffed, pretending to be mature as she patted Chen Ye’s shoulder, satisfied:
"That’s more like it! Don’t feel wronged, this True Inheritor has your best interest at heart. After all... if suppressed for too long, it’s bad for cultivation."
"As long as you follow these words, after I’ve taken my revenge and come back, I will... I will introduce you to the Bai Family. Then, we can hold the grand ceremony in Lisong Valley or return to Lingyin Sect."
Hosting a grand ceremony...
This girl is setting up a goal.
Chen Ye felt a sense of longing, he said no more, grabbing her small hand and pulled her whole being into his embrace forcefully.
"Uh... Chen Ye?"
Bai Susu exclaimed, her cheeks resting on his warm chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, her voice softened immediately.
"Those things can wait for later."
Chen Ye lowered his head, his chin resting on her forehead,
"Since you’re going to Qi Kingdom, to face those four old monsters..."
"And my Evergreen Technique’s spiritual power is remarkably effective for healing and recovery, tonight, I intend to transfer it all to you without reservation."
Upon hearing the words "without reservation," Bai Susu’s face flushed instantly.
She naturally knew what Chen Ye meant by "transfer."
It’s truly... the union of spirit and flesh, complementing each other.
"You... you’re such a person with a one-track mind!"
She complained bashfully, punching him, yet her body showed no resistance; instead, she embraced his waist voluntarily, her voice barely above a whisper,
"Well... well, be gentle... I have to leave tomorrow..."
Let it be.
After all, I’m leaving soon... better endure it a little longer.
...
The next day.
The bed was rather messy.
Chen Ye extended his hand towards the side, touching only the slightly cool brocade quilt, finding no trace of the warm and tender figure.
That girl had quietly left on her own,
Even unwilling to say goodbye to him...
Chen Ye propped himself up, leaning against the bedpost, recalling last night.
Actually,
Last night, he didn’t take advantage of Bai Susu.
Instead, he truly transferred his spiritual power, channeling the vast and vitality-filled pure spiritual power, bit by bit into the girl’s body.
This spiritual power was condensed by Chen Ye at the cost of his cultivation.
Even a single drop was enough for Chen Ye to perform a blood escape technique once!
The vitality contained within is unimaginable.
Chen Ye estimates that even if Bai Susu is severely injured, this vitality is sufficient for her to recover twice!
"It consumed a significant amount of cultivation; to replenish it might take up to six months of cultivation."
Chen Ye silently calculated.
But using half a year of cultivation to provide Bai Susu with additional safety is undoubtedly worth the price.
"Hopefully, everything goes smoothly..."
