Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

This includes the group from Baidi City.

As Chu Xunfeng stepped into the inn, he noticed that many people on the first floor had stopped talking. The inn was mostly populated by humans, with a few scattered demons as well.

"Junior brother." The eldest senior brother, dressed in a black robe, and the second senior sister, with red hair, seemed to be waiting for Chu Xunfeng. Upon seeing the young man arrive at the inn, Mo Xun took the initiative to speak, "Go upstairs first, Master is waiting for you."

"Okay." Chu Xunfeng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the people in the hall. He didn't recognize these people, but they all seemed to recognize him.

That makes sense. After all, most of the tourists from outside the area have been on the dragon boat before. They've seen Chu Xunfeng win the first prize and strike the golden gong, then receive the true dragon inheritance and sneakily stab Dang Kang.

The three people from Baidi City disappeared down the stairs, and the conversation in the hall gradually returned to normal.

"That was Chu Xunfeng, wasn't it?"

"Nonsense, we could see it clearly from the dragon boat, so there's no need to ask."

"Extraordinary bearing, unfathomable depths. This person's aura is only at the fourth realm, yet he managed to wield such power without killing himself..."

"After all, it is the legacy of a true dragon."

"What is his relationship with Baidi City now?" Someone suddenly asked, causing the noisy conversation to pause for a moment.

“You should ask him what his relationship is with the Dragon Clan,” a seductive young woman suddenly said. “Everyone knows about the Dragon Clan’s lineage. I’ve heard that when this Young Master Chu returned from the South Sea, the Dragon Clan’s Second Princess took him to the Imperial City to see the Azure Dragon God.”

"If the news hasn't come out yet, we still have a chance."

This time, no one responded. Each person, preoccupied with their own thoughts, turned their gaze to the staircase leading upstairs.

Meanwhile, in the inn's top-tier private room, Chu Xunfeng was taken by his senior brother to their master's residence, but was left behind. Senior Brother Mo Xun and Second Senior Sister both left the room, leaving Chu Xunfeng alone with Xu Jiujing.

"You're here, have a seat." Xu Jiujing gestured to Chu Xunfeng, and the young man followed his master's suggestion, sitting down at the small round table and picking up the teacup his master had pushed in front of him.

"Lord Ao Yu sought you out, presumably to discuss your marriage, right?" Xu Jiujing asked softly.

Chu Xunfeng nodded. "Yes."

"Did you accept or refuse?"

"I declined."

"Because of the little bell?" Xu Jiujing looked up at Chu Xunfeng.

Chu Xunfeng opened his mouth, but finally spoke his truest thoughts, "It's not entirely because of Miss, I'm not really willing to accept it."

"It's a good thing, and a bad thing," Xu Jiujing commented calmly. "The good thing is that you don't have to be tied to the Dragon Clan, but the bad thing is that you've become a helpless drifter."

Before Chu Xunfeng could speak, Xu Jiujing continued, "Today, after the Dragon Gate Gathering ended, this once deserted inn was immediately packed to capacity. You saw the group of people down there."

Chu Xunfeng wasn't stupid. Xu Jiujing's words, coupled with Xu Jiujing's earlier comments that his choice was both good and bad, made him quickly realize, "These people came for me?"

"Yes." Xu Jiujing nodded. "What are your plans next?"

Chu Xunfeng pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although I have some plans, I would like to hear Master's opinion."

That's a clever answer.

Xu Jiujing, being an old and shrewd man, naturally understood Chu Xunfeng's implication. The old man sighed and said, "Let's not talk about your teacher. Tell me your own thoughts."

Chu Xunfeng was still willing to respect him, but Xu Jiujing found it difficult to bring up the idea of ​​persuading Chu Xunfeng to return to Baidi City.

"I want to stay in the demon race for a while to settle down and break through to the fourth realm. This time will also be enough for me to sort out what I want to do. I can go to White Emperor City."

Go there, instead of coming back.

Xu Jiujing nodded. "Alright, have you decided which sect you want to join?"

"I probably won't join any more sects." Chu Xunfeng smiled. "After all, I came from the White Emperor, I've already served tea, become a disciple, and received the Dragon Clan's inheritance. If I were to join another sect, not to mention the reputation, would other sects really forgive me and teach me everything they know?"

Xu Jiujing opened his mouth, but in the end he could only shake his head with a wry smile, "You silly child, you've thought about so much, but you're unwilling to join the Dragon Clan? Or come back to White Emperor City with me?"

"Master, do you still remember the aspirations I shared when we discussed the Dao?"

"Free and unrestrained." Xu Jiujing nodded.

"Joining the Dragon Clan and binding yourself to marriage for the sake of cultivation resources is not a carefree life."

"Returning to Baidi City would ultimately mean compromising oneself for the sake of cultivation resources. How can one talk about being carefree then?"

"Therefore, this disciple has decided that it is still more comfortable to remain a wandering cultivator."

Chu Xunfeng smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

After all, the system had already absorbed the power of the Azure Dragon's inheritance and completed its update, and the existence of the system was also the reason why Chu Xunfeng was willing to be a rogue cultivator.

“If you’ve made up your mind, then it’s up to you.” Xu Jiujing smiled and nodded. “Just remember, you will eventually have a place on the nineteenth floor of Baidi City.”

"Disciple understands." Chu Xunfeng nodded vigorously.

"Are you planning to get involved in the Dragon Clan's affairs?" Xu Jiujing changed the subject.

"What is Master's suggestion?" Chu Xunfeng himself hadn't thought things through regarding the Dragon Clan.

"If you want to leverage the power of the Dragon Clan, you can participate appropriately. If you want to develop more within the Demon Clan, you'll have to get involved. If you don't want to get too deeply involved with the Demon Clan, then it's time to stop here." Xu Jiujing stared at his disciple and earnestly gave him three directions.

“This matter concerning the demon race is not just about the demon race itself.” Chu Xunfeng looked at Xu Jiujing. Xu Jiujing was invited to the altar by the dragon race, which couldn’t be because he was Chu Xunfeng’s master. “Behind Dang Kang, there are also secret agents from Yan Kingdom. It is these people who are working for Dang Kang behind the scenes.”

"Yes." Xu Jiujing looked at Chu Xunfeng. "What do you think?"

"It's impossible to completely extricate myself." Chu Xunfeng shook his head with a smile. "This time, no matter what the reason, I have ultimately outmaneuvered the Yan Kingdom's spies and ruined their plans."

“I want to get involved a little. I’m already involved, and besides, I don’t believe that Yan Guo will just back down after this.”

"Not bad." Xu Jiujing nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you understand everything, I have nothing more to say. Just do what you think is right. Go now."

"Little Bell and the others are still waiting for you."

Chapter Thirty-Six: System Update

Chu Xunfeng left his master's room, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard the sound of the door behind him being pushed open.

Turning his gaze behind him, the young man immediately saw the young lady leaning against the door frame.

And behind her, several senior brothers and sisters were gathered around a small tea table in the room.

Chu Xunfeng naturally accepted the invitation and entered the room. However, due to the presence of his senior brothers and sisters, he and the young lady did not have much of a heart-to-heart talk. Instead, he repeated some of the things he had said to his master to his senior brothers and sisters.

Having arranged to meet the young lady again the next day, Chu Xunfeng took his leave. He had a place to stay in the capital, but he didn't know if the wall around the Fourth Prince's courtyard had been repaired.

When Chu Xunfeng left the inn, a few restless people on the first floor tried to strike up a conversation with him, but he easily brushed them off with indifferent attitudes.

And all of this will naturally be used as intelligence by those with ulterior motives.

After all, Chu Xunfeng has already made a name for himself in the three regions of Kyushu, and naturally, attention will be drawn to him. Xu Jiujing had already subtly mentioned this point in the inn.

Chu Xunfeng was also mentally prepared.

As Chu Xunfeng strolled through the southern district, he kept looking at the light screens that had been set up in his field of vision.

After experiencing the Azure Dragon's inheritance, the system has been upgraded. However, the matters he had dealt with earlier were more important, so he only had time to take a closer look at the upgraded system now.

The first change is in the entire screen. At first, the system looked more like a chat box, but now, the entire system finally has an interface-like interface.

The shrunk version of myself is in the center of the system interface, maintaining a blank expression, while there are buttons in the four corners of the screen.

Top left corner [Status]

[Technique] in the upper right corner

Bottom left corner [Backpack]

Bottom right corner [Refine]

Chu Xunfeng opened and checked them one by one.

The status interface is like a character interface in a game, displaying the items you are wearing and your physical condition.

The cultivation method interface displays a multi-tower image, with each tower corresponding to a different cultivation method that can be practiced at a different cultivation level. For example, the Blood Refining Technique is enveloped in crimson light, the Dragon Soaring Step is enveloped in a hazy blue light, and even the Wind Sensing Technique, taught by Ao Jie's phantom in the Azure Dragon inheritance, is included. There is also a gray-black [Scripture Pavilion] button, which cannot be clicked at the moment, as the system displays the message [User's cultivation level is insufficient].

The backpack interface is straightforward, with the backpack's capacity displayed as a percentage at the top. The items inside are all things that Chu Xunfeng has stored in the storage bag at his waist, including wolf teeth and animal hides from the autumn hunt, spices collected with the help of the little white tiger, materials for body-tempering pills obtained from Dang Kang, and some rare metals.

The refining interface should be the function that the system mentioned before, which can help you refine Body Tempering Pills. The system also mentioned before that if you give it the pill recipe and materials, it can directly refine the best quality pills of the same grade.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Xunfeng understood the result of this system update. In general, this system is still an auxiliary tool, just like the backpack function. It only collects and integrates information and presents it in the end.

After removing the storage bag from my waist, the backpack function on the system panel went dark. Clicking on it, the system message was: "[No storage magic item equipped]".

Also good.

Why is the system unable to use the [Scripture Pavilion]?

This system contains many cultivation techniques, but most users have not yet reached the required level to practice them.

What are the standards?

【Three Mysterious Realms】

Chu Xunfeng wasn't surprised. The system's answer was just another reason for him to break through to the Three Profound Realms.

However, this is something that cannot be rushed.

With three cultivation methods at his disposal, he must simultaneously break through to the Three Profound Realms. Body cultivation and military cultivation are already a natural progression, but he still needs time to consolidate his cultivation in the Dharma realm.

Although the Azure Dragon's legacy contains "intention," it must be thoroughly understood and comprehended in order to truly make it one's own.

The initial plan is to spend two or three months thoroughly recuperating and breaking through to the Third Profound Realm before considering leaving the demon race to gain experience elsewhere.
