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

The curtain was lifted by a slender hand.

Lin Wanwan stepped in, dressed in plain clothes.

It must be said that his Daoist partner is still one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Her slender, jade-like feet were crossed over her legs, swinging back and forth.

He sat down in the chair without any hesitation.

Lin Wanwan is Su Chen's most compatible Daoist partner.

It's because this woman always shares the same thoughts as him.

Su Chen likes intelligent women the most.

Her first glance didn't land on Su Chen.

It seems they didn't notice.

First, they swept their attention over Wang Mei.

He seemed rather annoyed.

Su Chen, being the kind of person he was, naturally understood this woman's little temper.

The city lord of Luoyan City, and the leader of the largest force in the northern part of the Xuanhuang Continent.

During the three-year bloody battle, when the sea above the Boundless Sea surged back three thousand miles, she never lost her composure.

But at this very moment...

The first step her husband took back to the mortal realm was not to the temple, nor to the city she had guarded for seventy years.

It was Wang Mei's unassuming alchemy workshop.

But she swallowed those emotions.

"I'm back."

"Shut up, oh shut up!"

"You're really amazing."

"Leaving so many fellow Daoists unvisited."

"He came all this way to see this woman!"

"You've forgotten?"

Those words were barbed.

Firstly, she was angry that Su Chen hadn't gone to see her first.

He was even more furious whenever he saw Wang Mei.

This woman always reminds her of that beastly senior brother from back then.

"What's wrong?"

"This is my spirit slave."

"What are you thinking!"

"Besides, the commotion in the lower realm is quite significant."

"You and Bai Luwei are both fighting until they're bleeding."

"The backyard is on fire, and you won't even let your husband hide?"

Su Chen gave an awkward smile.

Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, but almost laughed at those words.

That bit of anger had mostly dissipated.

This taciturn fellow went to the upper realm and returned.

He's become even more glib and smooth-talking...

Wang Mei hurriedly stepped forward, offered fresh tea, and then curtsied to the side.

In this house, the wives are the ones who call the shots, morning and night.

It was at this moment that Wang Mei began to regret her actions.

If she wanted to become Su Chen's woman, she would indeed have to get rid of her status as a spirit slave first.

If Su Chen descends to the mortal realm this time, and I fail to seize the opportunity...

There was no longer a place for her beside Su Chen.

I'm afraid I'll never return to the mortal realm.

Lin Wanwan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and frowned.

Seventy years...

In the sacred temple of Luoyan City, she painstakingly studied the ancient cultivation techniques that she and Su Chen had obtained from Master Hongfu.

He also fully understood that most cultivators who remained in the lower realms were simply waiting to die.

Breaking through is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

In addition, there was a hundred-year agreement made on the spot, so at most, it would only take two hundred years for Su Chen to arrive.

But now she regrets it.

Two hundred years is too long.

Not only did he separate from Su Chen, but his cultivation also stagnated.

In particular, Sister Yu Yan and Sister Li Tianqi now have the hope of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.

This time, we absolutely cannot delay any longer.

"My husband has left."

She spoke softly.

"I thought they had all forgotten about us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the outside suddenly lit up.

At the alley entrance, where the sea meets the sky, a beam of light suddenly shot up, so white it was dazzling, illuminating half of the window paper.

Lin Wanwan's expression changed.

"She's here too."

The white light came extremely fast.

This familiar spiritual energy is definitely not wrong.

It's that despicable woman, Bai Luwei!

In fact, Lin Wanwan didn't hate Bai Luwei at all.

But this time, what this woman was fighting for was something she was determined to have!

A figure in a snow-white sect leader's robe pierced the wind and entered...

Her jade-like feet stepped in, revealing slender curves and a sheer, light veil.

The title of "Number One Ice and Snow Beauty in the Northern Region" is no joke.

The mistress of Snow Abyss Pavilion, the freakish saintess who came from the snowy region of Black Mountain Continent, is now a Void Refinement expert.

Two powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage bumped into each other in this small alchemy workshop, which was only about ten feet square.

Spiritual energy surged wildly.

A current, as supple as water, and as chilling as snow, swirled in the room, forming an invisible vortex.

Wang Mei, a master alchemist at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, was immediately overwhelmed and turned pale. She barely managed to steady herself by leaning on the medicine cabinet.

This is not a place for her.

The clash of the auras of two Void Refinement experts could crush her physical body with just a wisp of their energy.

Bai Luwei's gaze first fell on Lin Wanwan's face, then moved to Su Chen.

There's only one explanation for Lin Wanwan leaving the city alone.

That person has returned.

really.

After three years of fighting, we've waited until today to finally see him for the first time.

The elders of Xueyuan Pavilion had all passed away long ago. She, a saintess, carried the entire sect and gradually rose to become the sect leader.

Why?

It's all so that one day I can use the great array of Tian Shu Star City to go to the Upper Realm to find him.

She pursed her lips, burying all the past events—the times this man had tormented her to the point of shame—deep in her heart.

His face was as cold as the millennia-old ice of a snowy region.

"Lord Lin has such a fast pace."

Bai Luwei's gaze never left Su Chen.

"The invitation had barely been sent into the city when the person arrived."

Lin Wanwan put down her teacup, and the corners of her lips curved into a smile.

"Isn't Sect Leader Bai the same?"

"They're chasing each other so closely, even though they're separated by an ocean."

Two spiritual pressures, you press down, I push back.

The temperature inside the room gradually dropped.

A glazed bottle on the medicine cabinet was shaken by the energy and slid towards the edge of the cabinet.

Wang Mei reacted quickly and caught him.

A thin layer of sweat had already seeped from my palms.

She understands it clearly.

Neither of them was willing to be outdone by Su Chen.

Once one of them softens first, their importance in the man's heart will diminish.

Therefore, no one is backing down.

The spiritual pressure grew heavier and heavier.

The glazed bottle that was being supported had a very fine crack seeping out from its body.

Su Chen put down his teacup.

The oppressive aura of the combined body stage spread out gently.

It was more like a large hand pressing down on the two strands of Void Refinement Spiritual Power than a mere pressure.

Both women choked at the same time.

The two realized that Su Chen's cultivation level was now vastly different from what it used to be.

But I never imagined that the Void Refinement stage would be so far away.

This oppressive aura.

The two of them could no longer continue their foolish antics...

However, this made Bai Luwei, who was usually so composed, even more unable to hold back.

On that snowy night in the snowy region, this person used such violent spiritual power to conquer her inch by inch.

Her heart softened inexplicably.

It's been so many years, and you're still so useless.

I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

This surprised both Wang Mei and Lin Wanwan.

What's going on? This usually aloof sect leader looks like...

"Sit down and talk."

Su Chen quelled his anger with just four words.

The two women exchanged a glance.

No one spoke again, and they all took their seats.

Wang Mei breathed a sigh of relief and quietly put the cracked glazed bottle into the bottom of the cabinet.

The room fell silent.

The charcoal fire occasionally crackled softly.

Su Chen pushed the teacup onto the table.

"It's been going on for three years."

"For what reason?"

Neither Lin Wanwan nor Bai Luwei responded immediately.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air.

It was Lin Wanwan who spoke first.

"It has been less than a hundred years since I entered the Void Refinement stage."

"One after the other, Sect Master Bai also broke through."

She paused.

"It's all for the sake of going to the upper realm to find you, after all, we still have a hundred-year promise."

The Upper Spirit Realm.

Looking for Su Chen...
