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

With all five soul bloods gathered, the strongest soul blood in the Snow Abyss Pavilion, belonging to none, is now in his possession.

It won't cause much of a stir.

Su Chen directly accepted the five soul bloods.

From this moment on, the entire Snow Abyss Palace was completely in Su Chen's hands.

Although the soul blood was collected, this vast abyss of spirit beasts, along with the spirit mines stretching for hundreds of miles, still held immense value.

With just Bai Luwei, who is currently paralyzed in the attic and hasn't recovered, plus Sun Long, a fanboy she just met yesterday, they are all capable of handling this.

These two people simply cannot possibly understand this family fortune.

Su Chen knew exactly what was going on.

These old guys from Snow Abyss Palace have their soul blood in their own hands; they can't pull off any tricks.

But an old hand is still an old hand.

If Luoyan City doesn't send a few knowledgeable elders to oversee things, this vast spirit mine and this treasure trove of spirit beasts will eventually be emptied out by these people, who outwardly comply but inwardly defy them.

It's possible that these people will secretly try to transfer these resources.

Su Chen naturally could not allow such a thing to happen.

After all, this was something I had worked hard to obtain for Luoyan City, and it was of great significance to Luoyan City's future development into a prosperous cultivation city.

Su Chen spread out a sheet of spirit paper.

Su Chen picked up his pen and wrote down the Snow Abyss Palace's assets, the scale of the spirit mine, and the dangers of the spirit beasts in the abyss.

Finally, another sentence was added.

Please ask Elder Li Ziran to send more skilled craftsmen and beast tamers to take over.

This makes things much safer.

The two Snow Abyss Palace disciples guarding outside the hall were summoned in, took the letter with both hands, bowed, and withdrew.

The messenger has left.

However, this snowy region is remote, and it will take at least some time for the retainers from Luoyan City to travel from Qingzhou.

After thinking it over, Su Chen decided to stay at Xueyuan Palace.

The Supreme Elder now treats Su Chen like a living ancestor.

They were served the best food and drink, and even the earthen ceiling in the pavilion was kept warm with spiritual charcoal day and night, never allowed to cool down for a moment.

...

The snow outside the window stopped sometime ago.

The lamp in the attic was a dim, yellowish light.

Bai Luwei leaned against the window, casually fiddling with the small bell on her ankle with one hand.

jingle...

The sound of the bell was exceptionally clear in the eerily quiet night.

"Su Chen".

Bai Luwei suddenly spoke up.

There was a hint of unease in her voice that she herself didn't even realize.

That's right!

Although the matter was settled, she was no longer in any danger.

But Bai Luwei still panicked.

I don't know why, even though my relationship with Su Chen is now a done deal.

They even agreed to a marriage alliance.

But Su Chen always had a feeling of being anxious and insecure.

"You've collected all the soul blood."

"From now on, you'll be in charge of Snow Abyss Palace."

Bai Luwei paused, her hand that was fiddling with the bell stopped.

"Are you... going to leave in a few days?"

Yes, she had a premonition all along.

How could a man like that be willing to stay with her forever?

Su Chen turned his head and glanced at the woman.

The dim light fell on Bai Luwei's face.

Her usually aloof face was now lowered, her long eyelashes framing a pitiful expression.

This, however, reignited Su Chen's desire to conquer.

He knew exactly what the woman was thinking.

In order to inform herself, Bai Luwei turned against the elders in front of them, cutting off any possibility of turning back.

Now she has completely handed herself over to Su Chen.

However, he already has three Daoist partners by his side.

There's another spirit slave waiting for me in Luoyan City.

Anyone would probably feel anxious and uncertain.

Thinking of this, Su Chen got off the couch and walked over.

Su Chen reached out and gently lifted Bai Luwei's drooping chin.

"Am I, Su Chen, the kind of person who would deny everything once I've gotten involved with someone?"

Bai Luwei's eyes lit up.

When Su Chen pinched that cold and aloof little face, the saintess became even more infatuated with him.

That's right!

She had already decided that the man in front of her was the one.

"But you have three Daoist partners."

"I'm someone who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and with this kind of background..."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen almost laughed out of anger.

Is this considered a low status?

Except for that clingy Li Tianqi.

Neither Wang Yuyan nor Lin Wanwan possessed the same cultivation level or background as the Saintess in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Could it be that he had repeatedly teased this woman, causing her to become so insecure?

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a little reluctant.

"identity?"

Su Chen was amused.

"The Holy Maiden of Snow Abyss Palace possesses an Ice Spirit Body that appears only once every ten thousand years, and has a cultivation level of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm."

Su Chen gently stroked Bai Luwei's chin with his fingertip.

"With your status, you're not good enough for me, Su Chen?"

Bai Luwei's face flushed red instantly.

Su Chen looked at the woman in front of him.

Normally it's as cold as a block of ice that's been frozen for millennia; anyone who gets too close will be chilled to the bone.

But now her face was flushed, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.

Su Chen's heart softened as well.

That's it.

This woman risked her life to come back and save herself, cutting off her own escape route.

You can't shirk your responsibilities.

After all, Su Chen's philosophy is that a man can be charming, but he cannot be vulgar.

Taking responsibility for oneself is admirable, but using something and then discarding it is vulgar.

"White Dew Rose".

For once, Su Chen toned down his usual carefree and roguish demeanor and began to speak with a serious expression.

"I still have a few things to settle now."

To be honest...

Su Chen lowered his voice.

"I still have an important matter to attend to in Qingzhou."

"I need to go back and sort things out in Luoyan City."

Bai Luwei listened in a daze, slowly withdrawing the hand that had been resting on the windowsill.

"More importantly, only by reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm can I truly establish myself on the Xuanhuang Continent."

"Wait until I reach the late stage of the Evolution God realm."

"I will personally return to this Snow Abyss and properly become your Daoist partner."

"Don't worry."

"I, Su Chen, will never break my word."

Su Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Originally, Li Ziran planned to hold another dual cultivation ceremony for Su Chen in a while.

But Su Chen simply didn't have the face to do that.

Although he, as Taiyue, supported Su Chen in finding another Daoist partner, he also felt that Su Chen had brought benefits to Luoyan City this time.

But after all, he is Li Tianqi's grandfather, so it's a bit unreasonable to let him handle this matter.

I still need to improve my skills.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and he didn't want this matter to hinder his cultivation.

Therefore, Su Chen decided to postpone the dual cultivation ceremony.

Bai Luwei's eyelashes trembled slightly.

For some reason, the little bell on her ankle rang softly again.

"it is good."

Bai Luwei's lips moved slightly.

"I'm waiting for you."

The moment the words fell.

Bai Luwei suddenly tiptoed, leaned in, and kissed him.

Those snow-white jade feet, without anyone noticing, had already tightly hooked around Su Chen's waist.

"The Dual Cultivation Ceremony will probably have to wait a while."

"But conquering you, woman, can't wait any longer!"

Su Chen's hand gripped the woman's ankle once again.

The desire to be conquered once again drove the saintess before him to madness.

The endless quest begins again...

The soft bed started shaking again.
