"You're so awful. All you know is how to take advantage of me."
Qian Renxue's little fists pounded Su Xian's chest. Her breath was sweet, and the blush on her face had yet to fully fade.
"Strictly speaking, we both suffered the same loss. How can that be called taking advantage of you?"
Su Xian replied with a solemn expression, making Qian Renxue roll her eyes. How could there be someone so shameless in this world?
Afraid that Su Xian would try something again and be seen by people on the street, Qian Renxue hurriedly changed the subject. "Didn't you say you had something else to give me?"
"This Immortal Herb is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. It can help with your cultivation. Even at the Soul Elder realm, raising your Soul Power by a few levels shouldn't be a problem."
As he spoke, Su Xian took a transparent jade bottle from his robes. Inside was a crystalline white plant, pure and spotless, like a white lotus root beside an emerald lotus.
That was right!
This was an Immortal Herb. Su Xian still had several more, but this particular one was the most beneficial for Qian Renxue's cultivation.
Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone could nourish the sinews and bones and open the eight meridians. The Mysterious Heaven Skill likewise required the opening of the extraordinary eight meridians, so this would allow her to avoid many detours.
"A few levels of Soul Power?!" Qian Renxue stared at Su Xian in utter disbelief.
Soul Masters cultivated step by step. Upon reaching the Soul Elder realm, even a genius would need one or two months of hard cultivation to raise a single level.
For someone like her, who had fifty levels of Soul Power, she had been born with twenty levels. The remaining thirty levels had come from cultivating ever since she had become aware...
It had taken a full eight years to gain thirty levels. Calculated out, that was only about four levels a year.
One herb was worth an entire year of cultivation?!
Qian Renxue could hardly believe it. If others learned of such an herb, they would go completely mad.
Although Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone was not as precious as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was still an exceedingly rare treasure!
"You're only at level thirty right now, aren't you? You should keep it for yourself. Raising your cultivation by a few levels would be good too."
After thinking it over, Qian Renxue refused again. Given Su Xian's current Soul Power, he would likely find it difficult to catch up to her. He might as well increase his strength, so he would have the ability to protect himself in the future.
She still wouldn't accept it?
Now that's got my temper up!
What I hate most is when people refuse my gifts!
"Take it when I tell you to take it. I absorbed two plants over the past few days, and I still haven't fully digested them." Su Xian directly stuffed it into Qian Renxue's hand.
What a joke. Was he someone who lacked a single medicinal herb?!
What he lacked was an Immortal Herb wholesale market!
"Uh..."
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the Immortal Herb in her hand, then immediately snapped back to her senses. "You have more than one?"
Her voice shot up like a roller coaster, filled with shock.
"Mm. The taste isn't very good. It gets a little sickening if you eat too much of it," Su Xian said seriously.
Qian Renxue: ...
Sickening if you eat too much? Since when was the taste the issue?!
Seeing Su Xian's deliberately unfathomable look, Qian Renxue suddenly had the urge to rob him and see just how many good things this guy had hidden from her!
Without standing on ceremony, Qian Renxue put it away again. When she saw Su Xian about to make another move, she immediately blocked him with both hands.
"Don't do that. My mouth still feels swollen and numb right now. I'll make it up to you later."
Su Xian: ...
What the hell?!
When did I say I was going to kiss you again?!
"I thought I was already narcissistic enough. Turns out you're even more narcissistic than I am. Who said I was going to kiss you?" Su Xian sighed gloomily.
"Who are you calling narcissistic?!"
Qian Renxue scrunched up her face, bared her little canine teeth, and put on a fierce expression.
"You... I'll get you... Hahaha... Give me your hand already, it hurts!!"
"I'm not letting go. Who told you to say that about me?"
"I surrender, I surrender! Let go already..."
"..."
Three minutes later...
"Do you admit you were wrong?" Su Xian asked with an angry expression.
"I was wrong."
Qian Renxue's face was flushed, steam practically rising from her as though she were fully cooked. Her eyes were hazy as she lay limp in Su Xian's arms.
"Will you dare pinch me again?" Su Xian pressed.
"I won't." Qian Renxue hurriedly promised.
"That's more like it..."
Su Xian nodded in satisfaction, then gave Qian Renxue's butt another light pat.
"Why are you still hitting me?!"
Her eyelashes trembled sharply. Qian Renxue's breath was sweet, and her voice seemed to melt into water, gentle and soothing.
"It feels pretty good. I can't seem to stop."
Qian Renxue: ...
Shameless. All he knows is how to bully me!!
Prince's Residence.
"Your Highness, Lord Tang, the master of Moonlight Pavilion, has arrived." The moment Su Xian returned to the Separate Courtyard within the residence, the Butler hurried over.
"What is she here for?"
Su Xian raised a brow, inwardly puzzled. The other party rarely visited his residence. Her coming this time probably meant nothing good.
"Go cultivate. I'll go take a look in the main hall."
Su Xian pinched Qian Renxue's pretty cheek and headed toward the main hall. She obediently returned to her room to cultivate.
Inside the main hall.
A beautiful mature woman in a silver Palace Dress sat quietly there, like an orchid blooming in an empty valley. Every gesture of hers exuded elegance.
Her features were graceful and noble. Judging from her appearance, she seemed no more than eighteen or nineteen, yet the mature and seductive allure she possessed was utterly natural.
"Why does Aunt Yuehua have time to visit me today? It's quite rare."
Before Su Xian even arrived, his voice had already sounded. Tang Yuehua turned her gaze toward the doorway.
When she saw Su Xian, Tang Yuehua's brows clearly furrowed, and surprise flashed through her eyes.
"I heard that the First Prince was injured, so I came to see Your Highness." Tang Yuehua smiled in reply, her tone refined.
"They're only minor injuries. Aunt Yuehua needn't worry." Su Xian waved a hand, then sat down below Tang Yuehua.
As Su Xian studied the mature beauty before him, he could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.
Her figure and appearance were truly alluring, especially her temperament, which made one want to pull her close and cherish her properly.
If he had not known that Tang Yuehua was already thirty and a cultivation cripple, Su Xian truly would not have believed that her skin could remain so flawless!
Beautiful women loved heroes. Even though Tang Hao had vanished from public sight for two years, he remained the idol of Soul Masters across the continent.
Tang Yuehua was no exception. Unfortunately, Tang Hao was her biological older brother, and he had fallen for a soul beast.
Mmm... this really was melodramatic enough for a movie. It could be called "Brother Loves Grass, Sister Don't."
Noticing Su Xian's gaze—filled with curiosity, surprise, sympathy, and all manner of complicated emotions—Tang Yuehua's expression changed. She was somewhat displeased by his rude behavior.
"I see that Your Highness's noble bearing has changed considerably. At this rate, I fear you will have difficulty graduating. If Your Highness's injuries are not serious, you must still attend Moonlight Pavilion every day to study," Tang Yuehua said in an unquestionable tone.
Tang Yuehua had initially been somewhat puzzled by Xue Ye's order, but after seeing Su Xian, she seemed to understand...
His manner was far too casual, as though he had forgotten the strict etiquette of the royal family.
Had there not still been some traces of that bearing about him—things ingrained in one's movements that could not be changed—Tang Yuehua might even have suspected that he was an impostor.
