Chapter 1444 This woman doesn't seem like a good person.

Despite knowing that Cai Songlin's words were full of flattery, Su Fan still felt inexplicably pleased.

Anyone who is flattered and praised will be in a good mood.

"Old Cai, there's no need to be so polite..." Su Fan waved his hand, his tone casual.

"The prosperity of this market today is largely due to your hard work and dedication behind the scenes..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Songlin immediately bowed and waved his hands, his face full of fear.

"Senior, you flatter me! If it weren't for the rules you set up to maintain order, even if I had the greatest abilities, I wouldn't have been able to stir up this storm..."

Su Fan glanced at the noisy area outside the hall and then changed the subject.

"I noticed there are significantly more cultivators in the market than last time I came. Where did these people come from...?"

When Su Fan asked about this, Cai Songlin quickly stepped forward and carefully explained it to him.

"Senior, you may not know this, but since our market became popular, several surrounding bases have followed our example and opened their own markets, but none of them have been able to achieve any real success."

Later, the footage of your previous battle spread throughout various star systems, and cultivators from those bases flocked here one after another, which truly boosted the market's popularity..."

Su Fan immediately understood that the booming market was actually related to that fierce battle back then.

He stood up and dusted off his clothes.

"Alright, I just came to check on things. It's nothing serious. Don't bother me again unless it's absolutely necessary..."

After Su Fan finished speaking, he walked straight out.

Cai Songlin dared not be negligent, and quickly got up, bowing and smiling all the way, respectfully seeing the person out of the main hall.

After bidding farewell to Cai Songlin, Su Fan did not rush back to his cave dwelling, but instead strolled leisurely through the market.

But as he strolled around, he noticed something was amiss.

They had only walked for a short while when they stumbled upon several scenes of disputes among cultivators, some of which almost came to blows.

He pondered to himself that most of the cultivators who had come to provide support from various planes of the Azure Starfield came from different sects, so it was inevitable that they would be a mixed bag.

Moreover, those sects would never be willing to throw their elites into this "meat grinder".

Most of them recruited independent cultivators in various places, or picked some cultivators from small and humble families to fill the quota.

It's already quite good that such a group of people didn't cause any bigger trouble when they got together.

Su Fan was too lazy to get involved in these disputes.

The market looked bustling, but he knew perfectly well that once the war ended, it would be deserted. At that time, let alone business, there would probably be hardly any people left.

This small, dilapidated place has scarce spiritual resources and is geographically remote and isolated.

It's really just a product of a special period, and it has no future to speak of.

The next day at noon, before noon, Su Fan returned to his cave early.

He sat cross-legged on the jade couch in the hall and looked around.

The cave dwelling had been cleaned spotlessly by several maids, and even the ornaments on the jade table were arranged neatly.

They heard that a divine being was visiting today, so they were all standing guard outside the cave, holding their breath and waiting to welcome the distinguished guest.

Su Fan knew that the young female cultivators who were willing to stay in the cave were those who no longer wanted to work in the market's clubhouse doing the work of welcoming and seeing off guests.

Seeing that Su Fan treated them with respect, they decided to stay.

Although the female cultivators who left could indeed earn a lot of spirit crystals in the market hall, the hardship of working day and night and forcing a smile was nothing compared to the comfort of living peacefully in the cave.

Moreover, Su Fan did not mistreat them.

The daily rewards were never lacking, and not long ago he even used his connections to send several clever maids into the "Guangfa Daozong".

Although they were only outer disciples within the outer sect, compared to their previous circumstances, this change in their fate can be considered a transformation.

Just then, a young female cultivator rushed in from outside, her voice tinged with urgency.

"Senior... Senior, our sect's grandmaster uncle has already arrived at the entrance of the market..."

Su Fan immediately stood up, straightened his robes, and stepped out of the cave. He saw a figure in red in the distance.

Today, Martial Aunt Hongling was wearing a bright red robe, with a fair face, a long neck, and eyes that exuded an air of authority that made people dare not offend her.

And a casual smile is like spring flowers blooming, touching people's hearts and leaving an unforgettable impression.

Su Fan quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and welcomed his Martial Aunt Hongling into the cave.

The two sat cross-legged on the jade couches. The maids quickly brought over the spiritual spring water, brewed a pot of fragrant spiritual tea, and gently placed it on the jade table in front of them.

Aunt Hongling picked up her teacup, brought it to her nose, sniffed it lightly, then took a small sip, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Aunt Hongling picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

"This tea is quite good. You've kept it well hidden, buddy, you even have some from this vintage..."

"These are treasures that I've collected over many years. If you like them, Uncle-Master, I'll have my maid pack a few pounds of them to take back later..."

"That's great, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, kid..."

After Aunt Hongling finished speaking, she took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Su Fan.

"This is a reward from the sect. As far as I know, the sect hasn't shown such generosity in nearly a thousand years..."

Su Fan picked up the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that it contained a wealth of treasures. He immediately handed it over.

"Thank you for your kindness, sect! Please convey my gratitude to the elders of the sect on my behalf. If the sect ever needs my help in the future, I will do my utmost..."

Upon hearing this, Martial Aunt Hongling smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently.

She changed the subject, adding, "By the way, I made a special effort to get those benefits the sect promised you. Even though there's still a war going on, you can go back to the sect anytime you want; no one will stop you..."

Su Fan's heart skipped a beat; there was such a good thing.

He had long kept the benefits promised by the sect in mind, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

Hearing that he could return to the mountain gate at any time to claim the benefits, he couldn't help but want to set off immediately and get all those benefits.

"Uncle-Master, isn't it inappropriate to return to the sect at this time..."

Upon hearing his words, Martial Aunt Hongling couldn't help but curl her lips in disapproval.

You're just pretending, kid.

"It's alright, I've already spoken with several senior brothers in the sect. The situation is gradually becoming clearer now, so even if you're missing, it won't cause any major disturbances..."

Su Fan immediately stood up, bowed deeply to his Martial Aunt Hong Ling, and spoke with great gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Uncle-Master! I will remember this kindness..."

Martial Aunt Hongling glanced at him, waved her hand, and gestured for him to sit down.

"Alright, stop with the pleasantries. Have a seat..."

After Su Fan sat down, Martial Aunt Hong Ling seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject.

"By the way, you... you probably don't have a cultivation partner yet, right..."

Su Fan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the real drama was about to begin, and sure enough, it had come back to this issue.

He secretly grumbled to himself, "Not only do I have three Daoist partners, but I also have several children. I haven't been back for so many years, my grandchildren and great-grandchildren are probably old enough to run errands by now."

Previously, the Divine Lord Haoran had mentioned the matter of finding a Daoist partner to him, but he had refused outright at the time.

Haoran the God Venerable is a good person, but he also has to think about his family. Once he gets involved with the big families in these sects, there will only be more trouble in the future.

"Uncle-Master, I already have three Daoist partners..."

Hongling Shishu paused for a moment, then laughed, her tone full of nonchalance.

"Three Daoist partners are nothing. Which of your fellow disciples of the same rank doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines..."

She picked up her teacup, took another sip, and said slowly.

"My fourth brother has a niece, you should have met her before, she's the girl who introduced you to the family last time, her name is Jiang Xuan."

"This girl has good character and talent, and you've seen her looks too. Calling her a stunning beauty wouldn't be an exaggeration..." Upon hearing the name Jiang Xuan, his brows immediately furrowed.

He certainly remembered that girl; she was decent-looking, but his character was questionable.

She had all the bad habits of disciples from sects and families; she was spoiled, domineering, and arrogant.

To be honest, he would think twice even if he wanted this girl to be his maid, let alone his Daoist partner.

However, he also understood that the fact that his Martial Aunt Hongling was willing to put forward her own daughter was enough to show how much her family valued him.

This sincerity is truly genuine.

Su Fan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect again, his tone tinged with apology.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle-Master. However, I have deep feelings for my three Daoist partners and have no intention of forming any more Daoist relationships in the future. Please forgive me, Uncle-Master..."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hongling paused, her hand holding the teacup still, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

She clearly misunderstood Su Fan's meaning, thinking that the boy didn't like Jiang Xuan.

It's no wonder people look down on her; even she, as an elder, doesn't really like that brat Jiang Xuan.

Not only is she spoiled and arrogant, but she also loves to cause trouble; she's practically a living ancestor.

But this brat happens to be the most beloved descendant of the family patriarch. Now, in the family, she is the only one who is worthy of Su Fan.

Aunt Hongling put down her teacup, her tone softening slightly.

"Don't be so stubborn, kid. At worst, we can have Jiang Xuan become your concubine, how about that..."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan nearly spat out the spiritual tea he had just drunk.

What the heck...

Uncle-Master, you're putting a lot of pressure on me.

To have a direct descendant of a sect become his concubine? How could you even think of that?

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle-Master, absolutely not! This really can't be done, please don't bring it up again..."

Aunt Hongling, however, didn't seem to care and chuckled, "Having another concubine is nothing to worry about. Your fellow Daoists won't make things difficult for her..."

She was secretly delighted. It was indeed a bit of a disservice to make that brat Jiang Xuan a concubine, but what could she do when Jiang Xuan was a member of the family?

Isn't it only right to contribute to the family?

The thought of Jiang Xuan, with her spoiled nature, having to submit to someone else made her feel inexplicably pleased.

Su Fan had no idea what his aunt Hong Ling was thinking. He only felt that this aunt was going to great lengths to recruit him, even coming up with such an idea.

He could only grit his teeth and refuse again: "Uncle-Master, this really has to stop. This disciple is truly powerless to help, please don't make things difficult for me any further..."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Aunt Hongling stopped dwelling on Jiang Xuan's matter. She changed the subject, glancing at the few young female cultivators standing beside her, her tone carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"Your Daoist partner isn't around now, is she? So you're all alone in this cave, and on a daily basis... there's no one to serve you..."

As she spoke, she gave Su Fan a charming smile, the meaning in her eyes was all too clear.

You usually satisfy your cravings with these few young female cultivators.

Su Fan's heart skipped a beat. He had heard Zhu Ran say that this Martial Aunt Hong Ling kept many male lovers in the sect.

Now it seems that this statement was indeed true.

This woman doesn't look like the type to stay at home.

He couldn't help but imagine that those male cultivators who were her lovers had probably tasted whips and candles, and perhaps even been subjected to the torture of scrubbing balls.
Su Fan quickly composed himself and tried to keep his tone calm.

"I spend most of my time in arduous cultivation and rarely have any free time, so I don't need anyone to serve me..."

Upon hearing this, Martial Aunt Hongling's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Fan with a newfound interest.

“Cultivators have long lifespans, how can you treat yourself so poorly? You don’t even have anyone you like by your side right now, so why don’t you… let this girl come and serve you…”

After finishing her sentence, Martial Aunt Hongling turned slightly, and her entire demeanor instantly changed.

Just moments ago, he was a dignified and aloof deity, but in the blink of an eye, he became more languid and alluring, with even the corners of his eyes and brows exuding a captivating charm.

Even the atmosphere in the hall became ambiguous.

Martial Aunt Hongling raised her hand, revealing her fair wrist, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then glanced at Su Fan.

Her gaze was radiant, her eyes sparkling and clear, and her brows and eyes exuded boundless charm.

Su Fan had seen his share of ups and downs, but when she looked at him like that, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, and his emotions were stirred.

He felt his blood boil and a strange, uncontrollable restlessness welled up inside him.

Su Fan quickly lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, Martial Aunt Hongling transformed from a dignified and aloof deity into a natural beauty, exuding an alluring charm.

Her dignified and graceful demeanor and her alluring and charming temperament are two hugely contrasting qualities, yet she switches between them seamlessly, as if it were a natural talent.

This woman is definitely skilled in seduction, and quite adept at it.

Otherwise, how could just a glance have thrown him into such a state of confusion?

"What are you waiting for, kid? Hurry up and take her in..."

At this moment, Su Fan received a thought from the old dragon Li Gao in his mind.

This old lecher, as expected of the Dragon Clan known for its debauchery, truly has no aversion to either meat or vegetables.

"Senior, please don't get involved and cause trouble..."

"I'm not causing trouble at all, this is clearly an opportunity for you, kid. This woman is absolutely the best of the best, cultivating with her will benefit you immensely..."

This old lecher, no matter what, is always trying to convince himself.

Even if I took this woman as my wife, wouldn't you be tempted?

What the hell are you after?

"I've seen more women than you've eaten salt, you can trust me..."

Su Fan truly couldn't imagine that a remnant soul could be driven by lust.

"What are you thinking? Is Jiang Xuan not good enough for you...?"

Su Fan quickly waved his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Uncle-Master, please don't misunderstand. It's that I'm not good enough for Junior Sister, not Junior Sister's problem..."

Martial Aunt Hongling chuckled and raised her hand to smooth her hair.

Upon hearing this, Martial Aunt Hongling couldn't help but laugh, raising her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Her smile was truly like the first snow after a storm, bright and captivating, making the entire hall seem a little brighter, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"You kid..."

She drew out her words, her eyes full of mockery.

"Do you expect us, uncle and nephew, to serve you together...?"

Upon hearing this, a beautiful scene instantly flashed through Su Fan's mind, and his blood and energy seemed to be ignited, exploding with a "boom".

At the same time, Su Fan felt the true dragon blood within his body begin to stir, with an urge to immediately engage in a battle of wits.

not right...

Su Fan suddenly woke up with a start, realizing that he had just fallen for this woman's trick.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and quietly shifted his body.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me! Even if I had the greatest courage in the world, I wouldn't dare to have such presumptuous thoughts..."

When Martial Aunt Hongling saw that Su Fan was able to keep his mind steady, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

I underestimated this kid; his composure is surprisingly strong.
