Ji Lengyue was seeing Qin Rouyu for the first time. The dignified and charming woman before her had flawless appearance, skin, and figure, comparable to her own, but her temperament was of a mature and alluring kind.
She dared to joke with Chen Jiuyang to his face.
Qin Rouyu was also seeing Ji Lengyue for the first time. The two women sized each other up for a moment. "Let's sit inside."
After Ji Lengyue walked in, she asked casually, "Jiuyang, did you pay for this house?"
"Yes," Qin Rouyu giggled, fanning the flames. "He paid for it for me, and the property deed is only in my name."
Ji Lengyue's gaze instantly turned cold enough to kill.
Chen Jiuyang could no longer put his arm around Qin Rouyu's waist and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Ahem," Chen Jiuyang coughed twice. "This little bit of money is nothing. Lengyue, if you want one, I'll buy you one too."
"This money is a trivial matter. Rouyu, how are you settling in at the Misty Rain Sect?"
"How did you know I joined the Misty Rain Sect?" Qin Rouyu's eyes flashed with surprise. "Oh, Fang Bahua told you. He really is a loyal dog."
"It's alright," Qin Rouyu said. "They only gave me a very basic cultivation technique, which only allows one to cultivate to the Qi Refining stage. If I want the subsequent techniques, I have to work for the Misty Rain Sect to get them."
"Mmm." There's no such thing as a free lunch. Chen Jiuyang said, "What are your plans now?"
"What plans can I have?" Qin Rouyu said with a smile. "The young master of the Misty Rain Sect took a fancy to me and wanted me as his concubine, but I refused. I plan to join the Misty Rain Sect's Alchemy Room to learn alchemy and medicine."
The young master of the Misty Rain Sect?
If he remembered correctly, the Misty Rain Sect was previously managed by Chen Biandao. However, with the revival of fortune, Chen Biandao, with only Earth realm cultivation, should no longer be in power. Someone else had taken over.
Chen Jiuyang was contemplating. He knew the Chen family inside out. Their strongest ancestor was only at the Dao Integration stage, whom he had eliminated when he was at the peak of the Venerable realm.
Qin Rouyu had joined the Misty Rain Sect by chance and embarked on the path of cultivation, avoiding the Kunlun Holy Land, but still couldn't avoid cultivation...
Perhaps Qin Rouyu had always wanted to become stronger in her heart.
He had intervened once, and it hadn't changed. Perhaps he shouldn't intervene a second time, but observe the situation.
Moreover, with Qin Rouyu's talent, her cultivation speed would be very fast.
This was her own decision.
Chen Jiuyang nodded and said, "Good. The Chen family of Mount Shu acts fairly and righteously. Alchemy and medicine are also good paths, suitable for you."
"Here, take this. If you encounter a life-threatening danger, it can save your life."
He handed Qin Rouyu a piece of glass, similar to the ones he had for swords, sabers, bows, and spears. "I opened a small bookstore in Fengcheng. You can come by if you have time."
Chen Jiuyang had completely figured it out. In this life, without the forbidden zones pushing from behind, his beautiful confidantes would not so easily agree to him.
This was more realistic.
Since they couldn't escape his grasp anyway, he would let them roam free for a while.
As for...
"Alright, I'll take it." Qin Rouyu looked at the thumb-sized glass weapon and could only vaguely sense its extraordinary nature.
Chen Jiuyang asked again, "Did the young master of the Misty Rain Sect bother you afterwards?"
"No," Qin Rouyu said with a smile. "Although I have some looks, that young master of the Misty Rain Sect is a big shot in the cultivation world. There are not a few women who want to cling to him. He has probably forgotten about me already."
"Only you have remembered me for all these years."
"Hahaha," Chen Jiuyang laughed and said, "There will be a day when you are willing."
Qin Rouyu giggled, "Then I'll wait for that day."
"Alright, you can go now."
Qin Rouyu asked him to leave.
"Come to Ping'an Bookstore when you have time or if you need anything. It's diagonally opposite the headquarters of the Six Doors," Chen Jiuyang said, not lingering, and left with Ji Lengyue.
The young master of the Misty Rain Sect... you'd better not cause any trouble, otherwise, you'll have to hit the road.
In his previous life, for various reasons, he and the Chen family of Mount Shu were like fire and water. In the end, he completely annihilated the Chen family of Mount Shu, causing Chen Fengge to resent him.
In this life, he had not yet interacted with the Chen family of Mount Shu.
Back in the car, Ji Lengyue suddenly asked, "Jiuyang, can't you have only one woman?"
Chen Jiuyang rubbed her head. "This is already decided. I know it might be unfair to you or them, but I will try my best to compensate you until you are willing to coexist harmoniously."
"I really can't see through you," Ji Lengyue said. "Where are we going next?"
"To the Qiu family, to take you to see Yihan," Chen Jiuyang said.
Ji Lengyue's eyes became more resentful, but she didn't say anything, only drove towards the Qiu family.
He had asked Fang Bahua to bring a cultivation technique to Qiu Yihan for her to practice. Several months had passed, and there should be progress.
Arriving outside the Qiu family, Chen Jiuyang secretly brought Ji Lengyue in, and then they went to the villa where Qiu Yihan lived.
Qiu Yihan displayed the true form of the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body. Her mind was like a blank piece of paper, yet also filled with desire. Her cultivation talent was indeed not low. Without a master constantly guiding her, in a few months, she had already cultivated to the late Qi Refining stage.
"So beautiful..." Ji Lengyue was mesmerized by Qiu Yihan's pure yet alluring appearance.
Chen Jiuyang chuckled. It seemed that by chance, he might have activated the inherent charm power of the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body, which was so potent that even Ji Lengyue, another woman, was somewhat overwhelmed.
He cast a spell on Ji Lengyue to shield her from the Heavenly Charm's influence.
"Yihan."
"Ah! Jiuyang!" Qiu Yihan was already twenty years old, but her personality was still like that of a little girl. Seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, she first stood up and took a few bouncy steps. Then, seeing Ji Lengyue behind Chen Jiuyang, her little mouth pouted:
"Why did you bring another woman here?"
Her tone immediately became unhappy.
Chen Jiuyang touched his nose. See? This was exactly the scene.
The women repelled each other like fire and water, which also prevented substantial progress in their relationships with Chen Jiuyang, while still maintaining a certain connection with him.
He smiled and said, "Whether we meet early or late, we will meet. You should meet her too. You can't avoid meeting her forever."
"How is your cultivation of the technique I taught you last time?"
Qiu Yihan pouted and said, "It's very good. Cultivating is quite enjoyable and fun."
Chen Jiuyang had also given the Qiu family a cultivation technique. The Qiu family was now gathering all those with aptitude and having them cultivate in secret.
As a result, Qiu Yihan had not been subjected to any bullying by the Qiu family recently. Her cultivation speed was also good, and she was even valued by the Qiu family patriarch, who regarded her as an even more secret weapon.
"Quite fun..."
This was fitting for someone with the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body to say.
