A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Liu Qingxia in the bathtub was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended to earth.

Her skin was pure white, her bones like ice and jade, and her figure was perfectly proportioned, every curve flawless. The crimson spots reflected in the water were breathtakingly beautiful.

Chen Yang could not only see these things clearly, but he could also vaguely sense that a scorching aura was flowing continuously through Liu Qingxia's meridians.

The aura was like flames, or like magma; all the heat ultimately returned to her dantian.

Within her dantian, a divine bird radiating fiery light lay dormant, though it currently possessed no physical form, only a vague nascent form of spiritual energy.

Chen Yang understood that this was the biggest secret hidden within his wife's body—it was her Vermilion Bird bloodline!

Chen Yang stared intently at Liu Qingxia, completely absorbed in the moment.

Liu Qingxia had already washed all the dust off her body. She stood up, took long strides, and stepped into another brand-new wooden tub full of clean water.

Liu Qingxia let out a long breath. She looked up and found Chen Yang facing her, staring intently at her.

Liu Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, what are you doing?"

Chen Yang snapped out of his reverie, smiled gently, and walked towards Liu Qingxia's wooden tub, saying, "I was thinking about how to repay you. You gave me so many spirit stones, I'm truly grateful. How about this, I'll help you scrub your back."

As Chen Yang spoke, he reached the edge of the wooden bucket and picked up a towel from it.

Liu Qingxia quickly said with a smile, "Wait! Chen Yang, this isn't about repaying a debt of gratitude; you're trying to take advantage of the situation!"

Chen Yang said righteously, "That's just petty thinking! I'm your husband, I'm just giving you a bath, how could that be taking advantage of you?"

As Chen Yang spoke, he placed both hands on Liu Qingxia's head and said, "Let me wash your hair for you."

Liu Qingxia blushed, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Chen Yang stood beside her, washing Liu Qingxia's hair, his hand occasionally brushing against her shoulder. Her skin was as smooth as ice.

Liu Qingxia's face turned even redder. She felt the warmth and softness of Chen Yang's hand touching her skin, and a subtle feeling quietly rose in her heart.

Both of them remained silent.

Chen Yang's hand slowly moved from Liu Qingxia's hair to her shoulder. Just as Chen Yang's hand was about to move further down, Liu Qingxia laughed and said, "Blind Chen, you're crossing the line! If you keep touching me like that, it won't do."

Chen Yang just smiled, and then gently stroked Liu Qingxia's earlobe and neck.

This bath lasted for a full half hour.

Liu Qingxia felt that if she continued washing, there might really be a problem.

She quickly grabbed Chen Yang's hand and said, "Okay, okay, Chen Yang, I'm done washing up. We're going to eat in a bit."

Chen Yang felt a little disappointed and took a step back.

Liu Qingxia stood up, tossed her hair, and as she looked down, she saw the very obvious change in Chen Yang's steely appearance.

Liu Qingxia blushed instantly to the roots of her ears and said, "Chen Yang, you...you turn around!"

Chen Yang said dejectedly, "Hey! Liu Qingxia, aren't you going too far? Being so wary of a blind person isn't just insulting my character, it's insulting your intelligence too!"

Liu Qingxia blushed and smiled, saying, "No! I always feel like you can see me. My heart races and my legs go weak when you look at me. Turn around, turn around!"

Upon hearing Liu Qingxia's words, Chen Yang had no choice but to obediently turn around, while also feeling a little fortunate—it seems that a woman's sixth sense is indeed very accurate.

Liu Qingxia quickly changed into a new set of clothes and asked Chen Yang, "By the way, Chen Yang, I might have to escort the Qingtie Mine to the capital tomorrow. Would you...would you like to come with me?"

Without hesitation, Chen Yang immediately replied, "Of course! I definitely want to go with you!"

Liu Qingxia breathed a sigh of relief, quite happy, and said with a smile, "But you're still the city lord of Qingzhou City. What will happen to Qingzhou City if you go to the capital with me?"

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've already arranged all these things. Besides, what use is one more blind man like me in Qingzhou City?"

As the two were talking, Liu Qingxia naturally took Chen Yang's hand, and the two walked together toward the front courtyard of the Liu residence.

At this moment, the front courtyard of the Liu family was very lively, with tables full of banquet dishes.

This time, although the entire city was not invited in a grand manner, some well-known merchants and powerful independent cultivators in Qingzhou City were also invited.

Liu Honggang wanted to take advantage of this banquet to announce that his second granddaughter would become the heir of the Liu family. At the same time, he was also preparing to find a good husband for Liu Qingxia and find a perfect live-in son-in-law so that the Liu family could become even stronger in the future.

The banquet was very lively. Liu Qingxia was unaware of what was happening. She led Chen Yang all the way here, and seeing such a lively scene, a hint of relief appeared on her usually cold face.

The two of them entered the main hall together.

Liu Honggang and many elders of the Liu family were already seated.

When Liu Honggang saw Liu Qingxia affectionately holding Chen Yang's hand and bringing him to the banquet, he frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He just sighed in his heart that his three granddaughters were all too kind.

After taking his seat, Liu Honggang said some polite words.

Then he got to the point.

Liu Honggang said to Liu Qingxia, "Qingxia, this banquet is mainly held for you."

Liu Qingxia was taken aback, then looked up at Liu Honggang and said, "Grandpa, what does this have to do with me?"

Liu Honggang smiled and said, "It's like this. After this poisoning incident, I think our Liu family should make all the necessary preparations in advance, at least to select a successor for the family, just in case. I think you are very suitable."

Liu Qingxia remained seated, her brows slightly furrowed. She then picked up her chopsticks and placed a fish on Chen Yang's plate, speaking slowly and with a hint of indifference: "Grandpa, you're still young; there's no need to choose another heir. Besides, I'm not suitable. I only brought Chen Yang here for a meal today. Let's forget about the family heir; it certainly can't be me—I'm leaving Qingzhou City tomorrow to escort that batch of iron ore to the capital."

Liu Honggang frowned; he realized that things were not as he had expected.

Although his second granddaughter was filial, she was even more difficult to talk to.

After all, she had always been somewhat aloof, and once she made up her mind, it was harder for her to be forced to do so than for Liu Zhichun.

Liu Honggang was displeased to see Liu Qingxia peeling fish for Chen Yang. He coughed and said to Liu Qingxia, "By the way, Qingxia, let's not talk about the successor for now. There's something more important, which concerns Chen Yang's identity."

Liu Qingxia looked at Liu Honggang strangely and said, "What's wrong with Chen Yang's identity? Isn't he suitable to be the city lord?"
