Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

The calming incense in the guest room had been relit sometime earlier.

The thin tobacco shreds drifted straight up to the roof beams.

Su Chen held the Nine-Turned Vein-Continuing Grass in his hand and twirled it between his fingers.

The grass blades still carried the dampness of the black market, feeling cool and refreshing.

"come over."

Wang Mei was kneeling beside the soft couch, straightening his robes that had been crumpled while he was refining the treasure, when she heard this and paused.

She's been like this for the past few days.

At the slightest disturbance, they would immediately tense up, fearing that they might have done something wrong.

"Owner."

"This medicine is too expensive, and Wang Mei's injury is so minor..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Su Chen handed the grass to her.

"Sit still."

Only then did Wang Mei dare to move closer, her bare feet hidden behind her white gauze dress, her toes curling unconsciously.

I don't know if it was from nervousness or the cold floor.

Su Chen didn't look at it for long, and sent a wisp of spiritual energy into the grass blade with his fingertip.

The medicinal properties of the Nine-Turned Vein Herb are extremely mild.

It must seep into the meridians little by little; it cannot be rushed.

What the female cultivator said in the black market was correct.

Even if Wang Mei endures decades of suffering, she can recover from this minor injury.

But Su Chen just wasn't willing to wait.

He is a person who never mistreats those around him.

A wisp of medicinal power flowed into Wang Mei's body along with her spiritual energy, causing the woman's eyelashes to tremble.

"Bear with it."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

Wang Mei bit her lower lip.

As the tingling medicinal power traveled through her damaged meridians, she felt weak all over, and the knuckles of her hand holding the edge of the bed turned white.

But it also reminded her of the time when she and Su Chen cultivated together, and the image of Su Chen conquering her.

He started reminiscing about it on his own.

Could it be...?

Did she really long for her master to love her like that again?

half an hour.

Su Chen then stopped.

"Most of it is better now."

"You can take care of the rest yourself later."

The leaves of the sacred tree outside the window rustled in the night wind.

Su Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Chi Ling why there was always a salty, fishy smell in the nights of Tian Shu Star City.

It's probably because we're too close to that boundless sea.

"What's coming next is going to be bad if you follow me."

These words were spoken.

Wang Mei's hand, which was gripping the hem of her skirt, froze instantly.

Su Chen sat down on the rosewood chair and put one leg on it.

"I jumped into the fire myself this time."

"Even if those old monsters from Xingluo don't come looking for trouble, there are countless eyes watching me in this city."

Su Chen's words were not a lie.

Ever since his identity was exposed at the auction, and he killed two cultivators from the Star Luo Merchant Guild in the street.

Openly and secretly, countless people are watching his spectacle.

"You are currently only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"In this Tian Shu Star City, what's so special about being a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Su Chen glanced at her.

"If a fight really breaks out, you won't be able to protect yourself, and I'll have to be distracted protecting you."

Wang Mei's face gradually turned pale.

She naturally understood this principle.

With his cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, he would be considered a prominent figure even in ordinary places.

But in this Tian Shu Star City, there are Nascent Soul cultivators everywhere.

In the eyes of others, her meager cultivation was no different from that of an ant in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"What does the master mean?"

Wang Mei frowned.

"Go to Luoyan City."

Su Chen interrupted her.

"Go to Luoyan City first and wait for me."

"If you can enter the temple, then go in. Just say you are my spirit slave, Su Chen, and someone will take care of you."

"If you don't want to live under someone else's roof, then you can choose any place to stay in the city."

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.

"There are 500,000 spirit stones inside."

"That should last you a while."

A storage bag landed steadily on Wang Mei's lap.

"Owner."

Wang Mei's voice suddenly lowered.

Those almond-shaped eyes, which were usually cool and aloof, were now covered with a layer of moisture.

"My primordial yin has already been given to my master."

"Wang Mei's life already belongs to its master."

"Master...do you no longer want Wang Mei?"

As she spoke, her slender fingers twisted together.

My fingertips were trembling slightly.

These past few days, she had thought she had resigned herself to her fate.

It's better to be a slave to Su Chen and serve him than to fall into the hands of people like Manager Sun and be sold to the outer sea to feed the demon race.

But now that the moment of parting has arrived, even though she will no longer be under Su Chen's control.

I felt a strange emptiness in my heart.

Indeed, even Wang Mei herself didn't expect that she would be so reluctant to part with Su Chen.

She even harbored a desire for Su Chen to continue driving her in that way.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect this woman to react this way.

"What are you thinking, you lowly slave?"

"Do whatever I tell you to do."

"You'll be mine for the next hundred years, why would I not want you?"

"Once things are settled here, I will go to Luoyan City to find you."

Su Chen snorted in annoyance.

He said it so casually.

But Wang Mei felt inexplicably relieved upon hearing this.

She admitted that ever since Su Chen began cultivating with her, and ever since she experienced Su Chen's crazy conquest.

Su Chen won, won completely. He had given his primordial yin essence and his heart to Su Chen.

She never imagined that she was truly such a despicable person at heart, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't resist these feelings.

"Yes."

"Wang Mei, obey your master."

Wang Mei put away the storage bag.

...

The mornings in Tian Shu Star City are awakened by the humming of the city's protective array.

The waves of the boundless sea crashed against the light without ceasing all night.

The lanterns in the market had only just been extinguished most of the time.

The area in front of a three-story chamber of commerce building was already crowded with cultivators.

The two characters "星罗" on the gilded plaque gleamed coldly in the morning light.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air.

The cultivators below were a huge crowd, all craning their necks to look up.

"Is it him?"

"The one who threatened to wipe out the Star Luo Merchant Guild yesterday?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! That's the power of a heavenly tribulation..."

The buzzing of voices rose into the air.

Su Chen didn't bother to respond at all.

He wanted to see whether Xingluo could remain calm or not.

Two days remain of the three-day agreement.

But Su Chen didn't want to wait any longer.

"Since none of them are coming out."

"Then let's demolish this one first, just to give you a boost."

Su Chen's lips curled into a smile.

A streak of crimson light shot skyward from between his brows.

The seal transformed once again into a colossal object as large as a mountain.

A crimson aura of heavenly tribulation emanated from the seal.

The cultivators below felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly retreated.

"Let's disperse!"

"Get out of the way!"

Several of the managing monks from the chamber of commerce also rushed out at this moment.

"Boom!!!"

The three-story building was crushed into dust in the blink of an eye.

crazy.

This kid is really crazy!!!

Su Chen refused to believe it.

Even though he made such a big fuss, Mi Luo still pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Next."

"It's time for the second one."

Su Chen sneered.
