Yan Shuiyi nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have heard of a mortal monarch who refused to undergo surgery even when the surgeon was a renowned physician of the time. He even became enraged and suspected the surgeon of plotting against him, and killed the surgeon."
As she spoke, she gazed intently at Zhu Yunqing before her, her eyes shining with sincerity: "I can't compare how well I can control the soul surgery, but right now, this is the only way I can help him."
"Would you be willing to let me give it a try?"
Zhu Yunqing felt her heart pounding. This sounded extremely unsafe, and normally she would never agree to try something like this.
However, it is now visibly clear that Yun Chu'an's condition is deteriorating...
Want to try it?
She pursed her lips and finally decided to get herself some insurance.
"I want to test this surgery first to see just how effective it is," she said.
Yan Shui nodded slightly: "Okay, I will show you the abilities I currently possess."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled, looking at Zhu Yunqing in front of her, and said with a charming smile: "Or perhaps, we could study it together? We could study some ancient books related to the Soul-Binding Mirror, as well as the necessary procedures for the subsequent surgery."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand, as if making a casual invitation: "And in the process, I need your help."
Zhu Yunqing's expression faltered slightly; she and Yan Shuiyi weren't actually that familiar with each other. With a hint of awkwardness, she gently reached out and took Yan Shuiyi's hand: "Okay, if you need anything, I'll do my best to help you."
Having received this assurance, Yan Shui smiled and then picked up the frozen Jade Lotus Elixir from the table, returning it to Zhu Yunqing: "Sister, you should keep this elixir for the Huai Shan family. It would be a waste to use it on me."
Zhu Yunqing did not reach out to take it: "No, this is for you."
Yan Shui grabbed her hand and forcefully shoved the pill back into her hand, then said, "There's no need for such formalities between friends. If you feel bad about it, your family's goat milk is quite delicious. Come and bring me some when you have time."
Zhu Yunqing nodded gently, but a great deal of confusion inevitably enveloped her heart.
hiss……
What is goat milk?
Did our family ever sell this kind of thing?
Zhu Yunqing didn't really understand what Yan Shuiyi was saying, but that didn't stop her from maintaining a charming smile. At the same time, she made up her mind that when she got back, she would have to ask Yun Chuan what was going on.
……
Yun Chu'an is practicing his martial arts.
At the top of the mountain, he silently chanted a spell, and his body suddenly grew larger, transforming into a giant over forty meters tall in the blink of an eye.
He then chanted the incantation again, and in an instant, his entire body turned to stone, his flesh and skin transforming into bluish-green rock. For a moment, he felt as heavy as ten thousand tons, then raised his arms and slammed them down forward—
boom--!
He slammed his entire upper body forward, instantly creating a huge crater more than ten meters in radius in the ground. This inconspicuous little hill seemed to sink and cave in several meters after he slammed it.
Yun Chu'an lay in the pit, his body rapidly shrinking, and in no time he returned to his original form.
He lay on the edge of the pit, let out a long breath, then his eyes flickered as he fell into thought.
Hmm, upon closer inspection, its power seems quite considerable.
only……
Isn't it a bit too slow?
First, I need to grow bigger, then petrify, and then unleash a headbutt punch on the enemy in front of me, hmm...
嗑!
It's one thing if it looks bad, but the key issue is that the process is a bit too slow.
Any enemy with even a slightly quick reaction time would probably have vanished before you could even finish this sequence of actions...
He pondered this, his tastes having long been spoiled by "Three Thousand Springs," becoming obsessed with attack methods that were quick to activate, powerful, and generally impossible for ordinary people to withstand. He looked down on such vulgar and commonplace attack methods.
Hmm, we need to think of a new way to speed up the activation of this attack method.
He thought about it and weighed the pros and cons, hoping that this approach could be a substitute for "Three Thousand Springs," or at the very least, a lower-level alternative.
However, the Three Thousand Springs Technique was originally taught by immortals and then continuously studied and perfected by the dragon race generation after generation before it was developed into an offensive technique. Even so, activating it carries great risks and requires layers of protection to ensure that one does not get hurt.
He only managed to learn this secret technique quickly because of the system's provision of lightning magic. Now, trying to research and create a new one on his own would be an impossible task.
As he was pondering, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, what are you doing, making such a commotion?"
Chapter 450 Rong Jieyu's Seduction
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, and he looked up into the distance, where he saw a tall, voluptuous, mature woman wearing a magnificent fox fur coat, hurrying toward him.
Her face was lightly made up, and her almond-shaped eyes darted around as she looked at the large pit in the center of the hill. Her crimson lips were slightly parted, and her expression was one of deep surprise and disbelief, as if this were some amazing feat.
Then, she turned to look at Yun Chu'an, flashing a charming smile that revealed a set of clean, white teeth.
This person was none other than You Wensi's senior sister, Rong Jieyu, another female cultivator from the Corpse Driving Sect.
Yun Chuan narrowed his eyes. He remembered that You Wensi had discussed it with her, and that at this time, she should be outside searching for the corpses of fallen cultivators.
Why did you come back suddenly?
He didn't know, but his face remained expressionless. He bowed his head and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Senior Consort Rong."
Rong Jieyu smiled sweetly and walked gracefully to her side, bringing with her a fragrant breeze: "Oh, why are you being so formal with me? You are Wensi's son-in-law, and I am her senior sister. We are all family, so there's no need to be so polite."
Her fox fur coat was open in the middle, revealing a close-fitting, finely knitted sweater that tightly hugged her voluptuous body, her large breasts standing high, displaying an astonishing curve.
At the same time, as she spoke, her breath, fresh as orchids, brushed against Yun Chu'an's ear, stirring his nerves and causing a surge of lust to rise within him.
He longed to suddenly roar and, like a mad beast, pounce on the woman, tear off all her clothes, and then brutally rape her.
However, he had another plan: he wanted to use these three people from the Corpse-Driving Sect as tools to train You Wensi.
Before his mother-in-law is fully trained and obedient to him, he cannot kill these three people; he must spare their lives.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Senior is joking. There is a generational difference between us. Respecting teachers and valuing the way is an essential quality for cultivators. How can you make fun of me like this?"
Rong Jieyu pouted, seemingly uninterested: "Boring."
As she spoke, she took two steps back to create some distance between them and said, "Since you respect me as your senior, you'd better tell the truth about the questions I'm about to ask you."
Yun Chu'an said, "Of course, if I say anything against my conscience, I'll have my mother-in-law lock me up in the dungeon."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, staring at the voluptuous and meticulously dressed beautiful woman in front of him, secretly wondering what she was up to.
Then, he saw Rong Jieyu suddenly turn around in front of him. Her fox fur coat was also tied with a thin belt around her waist, so when she turned around, her slender waist below her full breasts was fully displayed.
Not to mention that when she had her back to him, the lines of her ample hips were faintly visible. Even though it was only for a moment, it instantly caught Yun Chuan's eye, making him unable to look away.
"Then tell me," she asked, "Am I pretty?"
Yun Chu'an had no idea what she was up to, so he immediately said, "Of course, senior, you are absolutely stunning. When I first saw you, I was immediately captivated by your beauty."
Rong Jieyu immediately laughed: "You're quite the smooth talker, but..."
She blinked, her tone carrying a hint of resentment: "You're not telling the truth, are you?"
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "Senior, what makes you say that? Everything I have said is true."
Rong Jieyu sighed: "You're still lying. Clearly, your mother-in-law has long surpassed her charm."
"She appeared that day wearing that outfit, sexy and alluring, and everyone's eyes were on her; hardly anyone wanted to look at me."
She said this with a sour tone, as if she were jealous: "Those two guys didn't dare to admit it, and even you didn't tell the truth. Sigh, indeed, there aren't many people in this world who are willing to treat me sincerely."
As she spoke, she turned her face away, giving him a forlorn profile. Yun Chu'an didn't understand what she was trying to do. It seemed that she was indeed jealous because You Wensi had outshone her in terms of charm, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem that simple.
He couldn't guess, and the burning desire within him made him panic. He said, "Ah... everyone's aesthetic views are different after all. I think that Senior Consort Rong's attire is more beautiful."
Rong Jieyu turned her head and said, "Why are you still calling me 'senior'? It makes me sound old. Just call me Jieyu. Anyway, I'm not an outsider."
As she said this, she stepped forward and said, "And guess why I'm so sure you were lying just now?"
Yun Chu'an said, "Senior, are you perhaps lacking in confidence? But in fact, Senior need not be so..."
Seeing that he refused to change his mind, Rong Jieyu had no choice but to give up and continued, "Because I have already heard that most of those beautiful clothes are made by you."
"I suppose that 'cheongsam' dress that Wensi wore was also carefully selected by you, right?"
She said this, but Yun Chu'an didn't think anything of it. He smiled shyly and nodded slightly: "That's true."
Rong Jieyu said quietly, "Then when will you help me pick one out too?"
Yun Chuan glanced down and saw that her figure was similar to You Wensi's, both being quite mature and voluptuous. Moreover, compared to You Wensi, Rong Jieyu clearly dressed up and took better care of her body more frequently, so at first glance, she seemed to have better features.
With a figure like that, even if she were just given a cheongsam, she wouldn't look bad. Just imagining that scene ignited a burning lust within him, making him want to devour the woman before him.
He swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty: "Alright, it's not a difficult task. Since you've made this request, I will definitely do it."
Rong Jieyu smiled faintly: "Then I'll thank you in advance."
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and took his arm: "Come walk with me, I've been under too much pressure lately, I want to relax."
Yun Chu'an suddenly tensed up, his upper arm involuntarily touching her side breast. This woman wasn't wearing a bra, and her sweater was quite delicate; for a moment, he could even feel its elasticity.
He silently recited a spell in his heart, forcing himself to calm down and not be controlled by this evil fire, nor should he lose his vigilance because of it.
He remained silent, following Rong Jieyu along the mountainside towards the distance. The sky was a clear blue, illuminating the green mountains below. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the faint fragrance of Rong Jieyu's body, stimulating his sense of smell and fanning the flames of lust within him.
He was in great pain and walked forward with Rong Jieyu. Then, he heard the woman speak softly with curiosity: "Speaking of which, after knowing you for so long, I still don't know anything about your past."
"Tell me about it? I'm also curious about how Wensi took a liking to you and chose you to be her son-in-law—you know, she dotes on Qi Qiao so much. We all thought back then that it was impossible for anyone in the world to meet her standards and be chosen by her to be Qi Qiao's husband."
Yun Chu'an suppressed his anger and told the story he had made up again. It was about how he was born into an ordinary family and his father was a carpenter who had some spare money, so he had received some education when he was young.
Unfortunately, his family was later flooded and all his relatives died. He had no choice but to leave home to escape the famine. He ended up here and was captured by You Wensi's men. You Wensi took a liking to his talent and he became Qi Qiao's husband.
He spoke plainly and calmly, without any ripples, but Rong Jieyu listened quietly, her long eyelashes fluttering with each blink. When she heard that he was in danger, her delicate face immediately tensed up, as if she was worried about his plight.
Hearing the end, she couldn't help but sigh: "It seems we're the same, both having rather tragic pasts."
Yun Chuanxin said it was different; all of this was made up by me. If I hadn't suddenly transmigrated, my past life wouldn't have been so tragic.
Then, she heard Rong Jieyu speak softly: "I was born in Jiangnan, into a merchant family in the State of Chu. However, when I was young, my father was betrayed by his close friend, and our family was attacked by enemies, and the whole family died a violent death."
Chapter 451 A Plump Mother-in-Law, A Restless Son-in-Law...
"Back then, as a child, I barely managed to escape my enemies by hiding in a drawer. After that, I lived a life of wandering until the disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect discovered me, believed that I had the talent for cultivation, and took me to their sect."
“Since then, I have been practicing diligently and have come this far. When I was young, I was alone and I didn’t dare to sleep soundly. I had no sense of security at all. It wasn’t until I joined the Corpse-Driving Sect that I was able to at least get a good night’s sleep every day.”
"However, this peaceful period did not last long. The Corpse Driving Sect was wiped out, and my hard-earned Golden Core was shattered by a sword cultivator from the Qingyun Sect. It took a lot of effort to barely save my life."
As she spoke, her expression turned slightly sorrowful: "Now, we are like stray dogs, fleeing from country to country, not knowing where our home is, or who can be our support..."
Yun Chu'an's heart pounded, and he continued, "If you are willing, you can also rely on the Huai Shan family. Your mother-in-law is your best friend, and she will certainly not have any objections to this."
Rong Jieyu smiled faintly: "You really know how to talk."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over him, taking in his tall stature and well-proportioned, athletic build, before finally settling on his handsome features. She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Your cultivation has progressed rapidly, you're reliable and dependable, and your aesthetic sense is so unique. No wonder You Wensi was also won over by you."
Yun Chu'an's hair stood on end, his eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as lightning, and a chilling killing intent filled his heart.
For a moment, he almost thought that his affair with You Wensi had been exposed, but in a flash, his mind raced and he felt that with this woman's cultivation and methods, it was unlikely that she would find out the truth.
He lowered his head, his eyes drooping, and put on a confused and fearful expression, saying, "What do you mean, senior? I don't quite understand."
Rong Jieyu smiled and said, "Still won't admit it? Do I really have to expose you?"
Yun Chu'an's mind raced, and she was certain that she didn't know the full truth. Otherwise, if she knew that You Wensi had still suffered a crushing defeat at her hands in the Corpse-Raising Valley, she would never have acted so rashly.
They would absolutely never dare to meet with me alone.
Therefore, this must be a test.
He immediately stammered, as if feeling guilty, and stammered incoherently, "Senior...you found out?"
Rong Jieyu maintained her smile: "Yes, but I'm afraid my speculation is too frightening. It might not be good to say it outright."
"So I want to hear it, you tell me."
Yun Chu'an gritted his teeth secretly, his face full of shame: "In the end, it's my fault, senior..."
"It was my lustful audacity and insatiable greed that made me unsatisfied, even though I already had Qiao'er..."
His face was full of guilt as he turned away, saying, "I'm sorry to Qiao'er, and I'm sorry to my mother-in-law..."
In an instant, Rong Jieyu was dumbfounded.
As Yun Chuan had expected, she indeed had no conclusive evidence to prove what Yun Chuan had done to You Wensi; everything was just speculation.
