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

Su Chen chuckled softly, raised his hand, and with a snap, landed on that exquisite curve.

The slap sent a shiver down her graceful curves.

"The Holy Maiden of the dignified Snow Abyss Pavilion."

"He is aloof and detached from the world, and everyone respects him."

"But when you're with your husband, you actually enjoy being punished like this."

"Is it or isn't it?"

Bai Luwei's face turned even redder.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Su Chen wasn't annoyed; instead, he loosened his grip on the jade-like foot.

"That's utter nonsense."

"From then on, my husband treated my wife with utmost respect and dared not act presumptuously again."

"you..."

Bai Luwei was speechless for a moment.

A strange, inexplicable sense of panic welled up inside me.

She is afraid.

She was afraid that Su Chen would really continue to treat her so politely from now on.

"Tell your husband."

Su Chen's voice came close to her ear.

"Do you like it or not?"

Bai Luwei bit her lip; that hint of aloofness and arrogance shattered completely at that moment.

She couldn't resist the secret desire in her heart that she couldn't let anyone see.

"like..."

The sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"Isn't liking it enough?"

"I am the perverted saintess, okay?"

"I love it when my husband punishes me like this, so domineeringly..."

As soon as she said it, Bai Luwei wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

But she couldn't care less.

She was afraid that Su Chen would really stop treating her like this in the future.

When these words reached Su Chen's ears, his desire to conquer ignited instantly.

This girl.

The contrast is truly astounding.

Su Chen no longer hesitated for a moment.

The delicate, white foot was lifted high.

The dual cultivation technique quietly began to operate.

The abundant spiritual energy flowed through the point where the two touched.

Inch by inch, it stirred through Bai Luwei's limbs and bones.

That tingling sensation instantly overwhelmed all her reason.

Behind the plain white gauze curtain, that exquisite figure once again lost in thought.

The soft couch swayed gently.

The gauze curtains of the pavilion in the middle of the lake swayed back and forth, stirred by the cold wind blowing through the hall.

.....

About an hour passed.

Su Chen leaned lazily against the soft couch, casually draping one leg over Bai Luwei's.

"This trip has really left me exhausted."

Su Chen closed his eyes.

"Thankfully, I made it back in time."

Bai Luwei's face still had a lingering blush, but she obediently turned around, her slender hands gently massaging Su Chen's legs.

"rest assured."

Su Chen opened his eyes and looked at her.

"You are my woman, Su Chen's woman."

"How could I possibly hand you over to someone else?"

"Don't worry, no one can take you away."

Bai Luwei paused in her leg-massaging motion.

There was finally some sparkle in those eyes.

"That husband..."

She looked up, her voice still carrying a hint of worry.

"And what about Master Hongfu?"

Su Chen chuckled.

"Master Hongfu?"

"In my opinion, it's most likely a facade made up by that hypocritical Wang Qiushan."

"A dignified elder of a sect."

"Deep down, he's a despicable lecher."

"He's after my wife's beauty and your extremely cold constitution."

Su Chen reached out and gently brushed the tip of her nose.

"How could someone as esteemed as Master Hongfu possibly give such a despicable order?"

"It is indeed true."

"My husband isn't afraid either."

Su Chen's tone was full of confidence.

"I was once acquainted with that Master Hongfu."

"You can put your mind at ease."

"I rushed back this time mainly to see you."

Su Chen pulled his foot back from her lap.

"After seeing you, I will go and settle this matter once and for all."

"Two more months."

"Our dual cultivation ceremony is about to begin."

Su Chen's eyes became more serious.

"During this time, I will not allow anyone to disturb us."

Upon hearing these words, the ice that had been pressing down on Bai Luwei's heart for so long finally melted away.

She didn't say anything more, she just bent down.

Once again, those lips gently covered hers.

...

The sound of waves crashing against the reef came in bursts, one after another.

The sky above the island outside Tian Shu Star City suddenly darkened.

An invisible pressure from the Void Refinement stage descended from the sky.

The immense pressure was so great that it actually pressed the entire island several inches below the sea surface.

Seawater from the crevices in the rocks poured up.

A figure stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air.

He wore a simple gray robe, had a thin face, but possessed a profound and dignified bearing.

It was none other than Li Ziran, the city lord of Luoyan City.

Su Chen's great-father-in-law.

Li Ziran's gaze swept coldly over the mountain peaks below.

Dozens of streaks of light shot out from various peaks, forming a dark mass that blocked Li Ziran's path.

They were all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Who dares to trespass on my Starry Sky Dao Sect!"

The first Nascent Soul cultivator shouted sternly.

Li Ziran didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

"presumptuous."

"You bunch of juniors, how dare you block my path?"

A furious shout, without a trace of affectation.

Those dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators felt an unparalleled force crash into their chests, and with muffled groans, they were sent flying far away.

Several people with shallow cultivation levels crashed directly into the mountain wall and couldn't get up for a long time.

Li Ziran didn't even move a step.

Those eyes looked past the crowd and towards the highest peak on the island.

Li Ziran channeled his spiritual power, and his voice echoed throughout the entire island.

"Wang Qiushan!"

"I am Li Ziran, and I have come today specifically to meet you!"

Even if you are a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

"I'd like to take a look too."

How could you be so shameless?

"How dare you steal my love right here in Luoyan City!"

The sound rolled across the mountain peaks like thunder.

The entire island fell silent for a moment.

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from the direction of the main peak.

The laughter carried a hint of composure, yet also a touch of deliberate politeness.

A figure in black stepped through the void and arrived in front of Li Ziran in one step.

He had a thin face and a long beard under his chin.

The Qi of a mid-stage Refinement Realm cultivator spread out slowly and steadily.

Wang Qiushan.

"oops."

Wang Qiushan cupped his hands in greeting, a kind smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how have you been?"

"Think about it, it's been hundreds of years since we last met."

"These past few days, I've been thinking of finding an opportunity to properly explain things to you, fellow Daoist."

Wang Qiushan stroked his long beard very slowly.

"The phrase 'stealing someone's love' is absolutely unacceptable."

"This matter was truly not my intention."

Hearing this high-sounding explanation, Li Ziran almost laughed out of anger.

That old scoundrel.

Even now, they're still trying to muddle through.

That hypocritical and righteous face was truly shameless to the extreme.

Li Ziran slowly raised her hand.

The aura of that Void Refinement cultivator had sunk another three points.

The sea around the island was pressed down, creating a wall of waves about ten feet high.

"Wang Qiushan".

Li Zhiran said every word.

Don't try that on me.

"You know perfectly well what your true intentions are."

"This debt needs to be settled today."

"I've made my decision with you."
