The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 955 The Abnormality of Being Left Unchecked
Zhao Chen and Su Xuanbing's "dual cultivation" lasted for almost a day, only ending on the afternoon of Thursday, leaving behind only two breaths of understanding.

In the middle of this process, removing the destructive intent of "Fire God plus Earth" and healing Su Xuanbing's inner world did not take too long. Instead, the longest time was spent exchanging insights through normal "dual cultivation."

Because Su Xuanbing was very interested in the many "laws and principles" that Zhao Chen had mastered, it seemed to be of great help to her cultivation.

Zhao Chen also valued her foundation, the "Lotus Immortal Body," because this supernatural power was indeed connected to the "Flower Goddess," possessing the dualistic principles of "creation and destruction" of that ancient goddess.

Moreover, it leans more towards the "destructive" aspect.

Zhao Chen never expected that the sword move of the Flower Goddess's Destruction Intent, which he had failed to create even from the sword immortal in the "Volcano Blessed Land," would find an opportunity in Su Xuanbing.

This naturally fueled his enthusiasm, and he began to diligently "collect folk songs".

Even so, by noon both of them had reached their limit, since exchanging so many "principles" in one conversation required time to digest and absorb.

As for why it didn't stop until after 3 PM? It was because after Su Xuanbing's injuries had begun to heal, she actually tried to pin him down. How could Zhao Chen tolerate that? Naturally, he stopped being polite and used all his skills to "teach" her a lesson.

The two had moved to the double bed in the apartment. Su Xuanbing was lying on top of Zhao Chen, facing him. In the dim light coming through the curtains, the room looked rather messy.

As a martial arts practitioner, she cultivated the most advanced combat techniques. Even Zhao Chen's numerous "pleasure" secret methods couldn't truly exhaust her energy. However, having just recovered from a serious illness and experiencing such "pleasure" for the first time in her life, she was still somewhat dizzy and lingering from the aftereffects. Resting her chin on Zhao Chen's shoulder, her breath was fragrant.

"So this is what Zheng Qingyan's projection felt in that 'room' before! No wonder her eyes rolled back, it's really powerful... If I were to suddenly be hit by this in the middle of a battle, my legs would probably go weak on the spot."

Zhao Chen was still sorting out what he had gained from Su Xuanbing. After a rough estimate, he figured that after two or three more "dual cultivation" sessions, he should be able to create the sword technique that could cut through the "fruit".

He glanced at the female general who had lost her heroic bearing and was now only languid, and thought to himself: I didn't understand why she was "arranged" to come here at first, and I thought it was just bad luck... Now it seems that maybe it was to help me create that sword move?
Hey, first came Song Wurui's "Creation Technique" insights, then the sword immortal in the "Blessed Land" gave guidance, and finally Su Xuanbing was sent over...

It seems that creating that sword move was very important to me... or rather, to the one who wanted me to create it!
As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen patted Su Xuanbing's smooth back and asked with a smile, "Satisfied now?"

Regardless of the circumstances, it's clear that the "Mysterious Ice and Fire Lotus" benefited more, since not only did she recover from her injuries, but Zhao Chen also used the "vital energy" of two ascended beings within him to replenish her magical power.

"I'm very satisfied. If I had known Zheng Qingyan was living this kind of life, I would have snatched her away earlier!" Su Xuanbing chuckled, then stopped lying on the man and got up to get something to eat.

Although my magic power has been restored, I still get hungry whenever I "move" in this "alternate dimension projection".

But to her surprise, she sat back down as soon as she got out of bed, her expression showing a hint of embarrassment.

"Let me think about it a bit longer..."

My legs actually went weak!
Su Xuanbing was secretly amazed by the "terrifying" nature of Zhao Chen's "joyful" secret techniques; ordinary cultivators with supernatural powers really couldn't withstand them.

"Heh~" Zhao Chen knew that this young lady of the Su family was actually recovering from serious injuries. After all that trouble, it was quite impressive that she could still sit and talk.

If Zheng Qingyan were here, she would probably have already used her "Undying Dragon Body" to rewind time two or three times. He was still quite chivalrous, so he turned over and sat down next to her, draping the blanket over her: "You should rest for a while, I'll go buy you some food."

"Besides, it's probably too late for today. Let's just stay in this apartment for the night and rent a better place in Hillston or the West End tomorrow."

Su Xuanbing was, after all, a first time, and she wasn't entirely without embarrassment. She had only used the word "bold" to cover it up earlier. Now, she covered her private parts with the blanket and felt much more relaxed. She asked in confusion, "Why not the Joewood District or the North District?"

These two areas are considered relatively prosperous locations within the capital of the Kingdom of Rune, yet Zhao Chen completely excluded them, which is rather strange.

“Because the headquarters of MI9 is ​​located at the border of the West End and Hillston, renting a house nearby allows me to use my divine sense to cover the area and monitor the situation at any time,” Zhao Chen replied with a smile after getting dressed.

"Do you think the Kingdom of Rune's MI9 is ​​connected to that woman named Panatia?" Su Xuanbing asked thoughtfully.

Before opening the door, Zhao Chen turned around and said meaningfully, "I always felt that as the capital of a country, with multiple churches of gods, so many abnormalities should not be happening here."

"Therefore, if it wasn't a problem with those three churches of gods, then it must be that some high-ranking official in the kingdom allowed these anomalies to occur."

"As for MI9, as an intelligence agency, even if it wasn't involved as a whole, there must have been individuals who facilitated these anomalies."

……

Inside a secluded, dark house, a woman named Panatia was kneeling respectfully before an altar.

The altar was a round table with a statue of a deity carved from white bones placed in the center.

The statue is the size of a normal adult male's head, with only the vague outlines of its eyebrows and eyes, suggesting it is an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Her hair stretched from her head to her ankles, each strand distinct and thick, like venomous snakes or tentacles.

And at the tip of each hair, there is an eye, sometimes closed, sometimes open, densely packed together.

Beside this eerie statue was a portrait and three candles with dim, greenish flames flickering in the cold, howling wind.

Panatia bowed to the statue and began chanting incantations rapidly.

A moment later, the portrait suddenly became distorted, then emitted a bright red light, making the entire room even more terrifying.

The woman named Panatia turned pale instantly, and said in disbelief, "That man is... Mr. 'Door'?!"
