Even assuming, hypothetically, that his progress wasn't that fast, would this man be a fool? Couldn't he see that his cultivation was constantly recovering and the threat was constantly increasing?
In fact, with You Wensi's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out the key points in this matter. However, her heart was filled with humiliation and anger at the time, and she only wanted revenge. Therefore, even if it was fabricated and false, she wanted to give herself hope so that she could survive.
Now, as long as she doesn't deliberately recall those humiliations, she feels quite peaceful and even enjoys everything she has with him.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" she suddenly asked softly, looking at his profile with genuine concern for him. "Besides accompanying you in dual cultivation."
Yun Chu'an looked at her with slight surprise, without saying a word, just gazing into her beautiful eyes.
You Wensi turned her face away awkwardly, giving herself an excuse: "The snake demons are insatiable. If you lose, I will fall into their hands, and my fate will be even more miserable."
Thinking about the snake demons' untrustworthy and greedy ways, Yun Chu'an was at least a man of his word. He always kept his promises to her and did them quite well.
Yes, that's how it is...
She tried to convince herself to accept it, while Yun Chu'an tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Nothing else, um, how about you publicly announce something in a few days?"
"Just say that you feel the opportunity to break through is just around the corner, and you need to go into seclusion. You won't be able to manage the various affairs inside and outside the family. Therefore, from now on, I will handle all matters, big and small, inside and outside the family?"
He made this suggestion, which made You Wensi's expression change: "So you mean you'll become the real head of the Huai Mountain family from now on?"
Yun Chu'an nodded: "Yes, in return, I'll help you return to the Golden Core realm. What do you think?"
You Wensi's pupils contracted slightly, and her rosy lips involuntarily formed an "o" shape, her shock evident: "You...you already know how to break through to the Golden Core stage?"
Yun Chu'an immediately smiled: "I'm not sure yet, but as you said, I have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, so this small realm can't possibly trap me."
Chapter 473 Senior, I like you!
Yun Chu'an made this promise with absolute certainty, filling You Wensi with anticipation, her eyes practically gleaming with golden light: "I promise you!"
She was incredibly excited, and Yun Chu'an gently patted her shoulder and said, "Then, get some rest. I'll take you out when the time is right."
With that, he stood up again, turned, and walked outside. You Wensi watched his retreating figure, filled with anticipation and excitement, unable to contain her emotions, and suddenly called out, "Wait!"
Just as she stepped outside the cage, Yun Chu'an suddenly stopped and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
However, at this moment, You Wensi dared not meet his gaze and quickly turned her face away: "It's nothing, you...you can go."
She seemed to be caught in a dilemma. Observing her like this, Yun Chuan silently calculated in his heart, but in the end, he didn't say a word, turned around and left this cage, returning outside.
Only You Wensi remained. She lay on her small bed, her eyes vacant, staring at the dungeon ceiling. Her thoughts were only of him.
When will he come to see me next...?
Outside, Yun Chu'an walked out of his small courtyard and immediately returned to the peak where Ye Jinglan had been before, where he practiced and rested.
He intended to meditate and cultivate for a long time, but before long, three streaks of light rushed over. They were Rong Jieyu and two others from the Corpse Driving Sect.
At this moment, the tall, burly man looked at Yun Chu'an with a anxious expression and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Yun, where exactly is You Wensi now? Where did she go?"
"Ancestor Huang Mang broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, such a big thing happened, why doesn't she even show her face, and won't she discuss the next steps with us?"
His face was anxious, and his voice was filled with barely concealed anger. However, Yun Chu'an's attitude was unusually calm: "Everyone, please don't worry. My mother-in-law is currently in seclusion and will need some time before she comes out. The pythons suffered heavy losses last time and also need to recuperate. It's impossible for new trouble to arise so soon."
"Please wait a little longer, everyone. It will be fine soon."
The tall, burly man was furious, barely able to contain himself. They had been searching for You Wensi for days, but couldn't find her anywhere. No matter who they asked, everyone said they hadn't seen her or could't contact her; it was as if this woman had vanished into thin air.
Only Yun Chu'an, who was standing in front of them, seemed to be closest to You Wensi, but whenever the matter was brought up, he would always make excuses. In any case, they could not meet You Wensi.
The tall, burly man was getting increasingly agitated when, suddenly, the hunched old man raised his hand and grabbed him.
He gave him a wink, signaling him not to act impulsively and to continue according to the original plan.
They came prepared, and since they hadn't gotten any conclusions from Yun Chuan today, they were ready to move on to the next step.
The tall, burly man lowered his head, then turned to look at Rong Jieyu beside him, indicating that everything was in her hands.
The latter nodded almost imperceptibly, also curious about what Yun Chuan and You Wensi had been up to lately.
So the hunched old man pulled the big man around and sped away into the distance, leaving Rong Jieyu alone in this sea of flowers with Yun Chu'an.
Looking at the mature female cultivator who was dressed in a fox fur coat and had a voluptuous yet noble and graceful figure, Yun Chu'an's expression changed: "Senior, is there anything else?"
He asked the question knowingly. He already knew that the three members of the Corpse-Driving Sect were in a hurry to find You Wensi, but he deliberately didn't release her like before to dispel their doubts.
He did it on purpose, and he also laid many clues elsewhere. The moment of harvest is approaching.
Across from her, Rong Jieyu smiled gently and said slowly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see you."
She blinked her beautiful eyes with long eyelashes, raised her head, gazed at his face, and said softly, "I know that after something like this happened, as the only man in the family and the pillar of the family, you must be the most anxious and distressed."
“Those two rough men are anxious too, and they can’t understand you, but I can understand your feelings.”
As she spoke, she tried to move him with her words. She even raised a slender hand to touch his cheek: "Chu'an, you've had a hard time these past few days."
Yun Chu'an's face showed emotion, but his heart was ice-cold. He looked at the mature beauty before him, whose expression resembled that of a loving mother, and suddenly reached out and grasped her jade-like hand that was resting on his cheek: "Senior, I like you!"
The sudden confession caught Rong Jieyu off guard: "Ah...ah?"
This interrupted her train of thought, leaving her somewhat dazed. However, what shocked her even more was yet to come: "Senior, I can see it now. Actually, ever since that day, I've had a feeling that you like me too, right?"
He uttered a shocking judgment that left Rong Jieyu utterly astonished. She completely forgot her prepared words and purpose, and hurriedly denied it, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"
As she spoke, she took a step back, trying to distance herself from Yun Chu'an, but Yun Chu'an held her hand tightly and refused to let go no matter what: "Don't pretend anymore, senior. My mother-in-law said the same thing back then, but in the end, it turned out that she was just too proud to admit it. She loves me!"
Rong Jieyu wanted to curse him out, thinking to herself, "How can you be so self-righteous? My junior sister doesn't love you at all. She only submitted to you because of the circumstances and had no other choice but to maximize her benefits."
Even knowing these "truths," in her panic, she couldn't find the words to refute them: "No way, I'm not her, and I wouldn't be interested in a greenhorn like you!"
She panicked and tried to pull her hand back, but Yun Chuan suddenly stepped forward and hugged her waist: "Then how do you explain, senior, that day when we were being chased by the demon cultivators, I took the initiative to cover our retreat, and you risked your life to stand with me and save me."
Rong Jieyu stammered, "I..."
What did she say? Did she say that she only coveted his spiritual root and wanted to refine him into a human pill?
She couldn't say that, and for a moment she was stuck, which gave Yun Chu'an more opportunities to speak!
"Admit it, senior!" His tone grew increasingly agitated. "My mother-in-law once said, 'Every man for himself.' Under this mindset, even though my fourth and fifth sisters and I are as close as family, they both turned and ran away without hesitation that day. My third sister only dared to provide support from afar. But only you, senior—!"
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her, as if to completely embrace her voluptuous body: "You and I are standing together, and at that moment, I fell irrevocably in love with you, and I'm even more certain that you like me too!"
Chapter 474 Rong Jieyu's Sacrifice (A long chapter of 7,000 words)
Yun Chu'an declared loudly, his arms as strong as steel tightly encircling her body. Her plump and soft body pressed against his embrace. The natural scent of her mature body, along with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees in her hair, filled his nostrils and stimulated his sense of smell.
He hugged her even tighter, and the tighter he did so, the more terrified Rong Jieyu became, her face turning pale and her soul almost leaving her body: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
She channeled her spiritual energy, pressed her hands on Yun Chu'an's shoulders, and pushed him away with a sudden burst of strength. She then turned and ran wildly down the mountain, determined to get as far away from this man as possible!
As Yun Chu'an watched her fleeing figure, his previously intense expression quickly calmed down. He clapped his hands, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Get it done.
He didn't want to reveal too much information to them through his own words; he wanted them to "investigate" the information themselves so that they would be more convinced and more likely to be deceived.
To catch them off guard.
So he decided to disgust Rong Jieyu and get rid of her, and he succeeded.
Then you can go about your own business.
He wasn't in a hurry, although he was actually very eager to obtain a true Heavenly Spiritual Root and break through to the Golden Core Realm, but he couldn't rush things in this matter.
He then sat cross-legged in the sea of flowers and continued his meditation practice. However, this time, he underestimated Rong Jieyu's determination.
On the other side, Rong Jieyu ran all the way down the mountain, recalling Yun Chu'an's confession just now, feeling both angry and anxious.
I never expected this guy to be so self-important. I only saved him to share his spiritual roots, and he actually thinks I like him because of that!
Narcissistic and shameless!
She cursed inwardly for a while before she could finally calm herself down. Slowly recalling her words and actions, she suddenly realized with a start that she hadn't gained anything at all.
Judging from this situation, he still hadn't been able to obtain any information about his junior sister, and he didn't even know where she was currently in seclusion.
She bit her lip and turned to look at the mountaintop again. She could no longer see Yun Chu'an, but she knew he was there.
No, my senior and junior brothers are still waiting for my news. I must get some information today no matter what.
To keep him in check and to maximize the benefits of her Heavenly Spiritual Root, my junior sister was even willing to submit to him. I... I...
Even if we don't go all the way to have dual cultivation and intercourse, at least I can sacrifice some of my own things to push things forward...
Damn it, since his mind is full of love and romance, I'll just talk to him about it and coax him!
Gritting her teeth, and guided by You Wensi, this outstanding "good role model," Rong Jieyu made up her mind.
Go up the mountain!
She then silently recited a spell, shrinking the distance to an inch, and returned to the mountaintop.
At the top of the mountain, amidst a sea of flowers, Yun Chu'an slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look back, puzzled, wondering why this woman had returned.
When Rong Jieyu returned, her crimson lips curved into a charming smile, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gracefully walked to his side with her plump, long legs.
Yun Chu'an's eyes darted around, knowing that this woman was determined to get what she wanted. He immediately turned his face away, closed his eyes, and pretended to be immersed in his ascetic practice, refusing to speak to her.
Rong Jieyu walked over to his side, sat down next to him, sighed softly, and forced herself to speak: "Chu'an, you're right, it's time for me to face my true self."
Yun Chu'an opened one eye, glancing at her suppressed and restrained expression out of the corner of his eye. Knowing it wasn't the right time yet, he immediately turned his face away, refusing to look at her: "Didn't you just say that what I said was utter nonsense?"
Rong Jieyu stammered, "I..."
But she had only uttered one word when Yun Chu'an interrupted her: "I understand your sincerity, senior. It was indeed my overthinking. I apologize for bothering you just now."
“I, Yun, intend to stay in seclusion on this mountain to reflect on my mistakes. My mother-in-law will not leave the mountain, and I will not come down. That’s settled.”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if deliberately trying to spite her, and ignored her.
Rong Jieyu was extremely anxious and quickly took his arm, saying softly, "It's not what you think! Chu'an, you...you have to understand me, I..."
She turned her face away, not daring to look him in the eye: "I'm just not comfortable with this right now. This kind of thing between men and women, and it happened so suddenly, how... how can you expect me to accept it?"
Yun Chu'an opened one eye and asked, "Really?"
Seeing that there was hope, Rong Jieyu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Of course it's true! What do you think I came back for?"
"I was down the mountain just now, thinking for a long time, and finally figured it out, so I came back up the mountain to see you again."
She said this in a gentle and earnest voice, trying to convince him.
Unfortunately, Yun Chu'an didn't believe her from the beginning: "I don't believe it, senior. The way you pushed me away just now was so decisive. My heart is already broken."
He said this on purpose, making Rong Jieyu more and more anxious: "What do I have to do to make you change your mind?"
As she spoke, she reached out her arms and trembled as she embraced him. Her full breasts pressed against his back, the soft mounds pressing against his back and upper arms, trying to warm his wounded heart.
With her persistent efforts, Yun Chu'an finally showed some reaction. His expression changed slightly, revealing a helpless and impatient look. He suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms to hug her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"Um……"
Rong Jieyu was startled, but she suppressed her instinctive nervousness and continued to hug him.
Then she heard his voice tremble as well, filled with disbelief: "Senior, are you serious?"
As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms with a slight force, pressing her full breasts tightly against his chest. He inhaled the faint fragrance of her delicate neck and hair, and his hands, as if under a spell, caressed her body through her clothes.
Underneath her fox fur coat, she wore a fine gray knitted sweater that hugged her shapely figure. And underneath, it seemed that the woman wasn't wearing a bra. Yun Chu'an's large hand gently caressed her, as if he were kneading her delicate skin.
His skillful touch sent shivers down Rong Jieyu's spine. He did it on purpose, trying to disgust her again with this level of contact, hoping to make her stop bothering him.
However, this time, he underestimated Rong Jieyu's determination.
Taking a deep breath, the woman suppressed her nervousness and whispered, "Yes, I...like you too, Chu An. Your masculine charm fascinates me..."
She said something that almost made her vomit, and hugged him tightly: "I care about you more than anyone else, so if you have any worries or concerns, you can tell me..."
Yun Chu'an immediately decided to go further and make even more outrageous demands to disgust this woman and drive her away.
He looked up, staring directly into her eyes, his sharp gaze seeming to see right through her.
Rong Jieyu felt guilty and dared not look him in the eye. She forced herself to meet his gaze with all her might.
Then, Yun Chu'an's next request caught her completely off guard: "Then, kiss me."
Rong Jieyu was shocked and instinctively tried to find a reason to refuse: "This...isn't our relationship progressing a little too fast..."
Yun Chu'an immediately turned her face away, looking disappointed: "Then it seems you still don't love me enough..."
He deliberately wanted to disgust the woman and drive her away, but unfortunately, after hearing his words, Rong Jieyu gritted her teeth again, her heart bleeding.
Like You Wensi, although she was a heretical demonic cultivator, she was not a female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect. She still followed the traditional and conservative values, believing that one should adhere to one's true nature and have no interest in matters between men and women.
