Arduous Cultivation

Meng Er's pretty face merely flushed red, soft moans slipping from her tender lips, yet she did not dare say anything. She knew she was Xiao Chen's maid, and she knew what a maid represented—a concubine.

Xiao Chen noticed the expression on Meng Er's face. The movements of his hands grew even more brazen, a wicked smile appearing on his face as he pressed himself down onto her delicate body.

Feeling Xiao Chen's rising body heat, Meng Er's lips entwined with his. At the same time, she wrapped her fair, jade-like, smooth, soft hands around his body. Warm fragrance and soft jade, delicate beneath his fingers.

Meng Er also wished she could be alone in a room with Xiao Chen like this, but she knew it was impossible. Thinking of Xian Er, she immediately tightened her soft jade-like arms around him. She knew that, at least in this moment, Xiao Chen was hers.

Men possessed a desire to possess, and women naturally did as well. Meng Er wanted to possess Xiao Chen because she held special feelings for him in her heart.

Perhaps Xiao Chen did not know, but Meng Er understood her feelings for him very clearly. Otherwise, when Xiao Chen had asked her to become his maid, she would not have refused; instead, she had felt longing and anticipation in her heart.

Meng Er knew why she harbored such special feelings for Xiao Chen. The deep impression Xiao Chen had left on her during childhood lingered in her heart. As memories surfaced in her mind, the jade-like hands wrapped around Xiao Chen's body tightened further, as if she wanted to meld him into her own body.

At that moment, Xiao Chen noticed Meng Er's subtle change. He was only slightly startled inwardly and did not think much more about it.

"Young Master Xiao Chen, does this mean I'm your woman now?"

Meng Er lay sprawled atop Xiao Chen, her delicate body, smooth as congealed jade, drenched in fragrant sweat. Her face was crimson as she asked shyly.

In Meng Er's heart, Xiao Chen had already taken her first time. At the same time, she knew that Xiao Chen was both her young master and the man she liked.

Perhaps Meng Er had known all along that Xiao Chen did not know, because she knew that the one Xiao Chen liked was Miss Xun'er.

Hearing Meng Er say something so unusual today, Xiao Chen reached out with his fair hand and pinched her flushed cheek, saying softly:

"Meng Er, you will always be my woman."

Xiao Chen did not know that he had unintentionally captured Meng Er's heart when they were young. Still, he gave her a scoundrel's answer.

Xiao Chen also knew that Meng Er could not possibly be his only woman. After all, Xian Er and Meng Er had already become involved with him.

Perhaps they were not the women Xiao Chen loved most, but they were women he loved.

When Meng Er asked that question, her little heart thumped wildly. She had been looking forward to Xiao Chen's answer, yet she was also afraid—afraid that it would not be the answer she wanted.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen say that she was his woman, Meng Er felt happy and excited. Naturally, she also knew that Xiao Chen could not possibly have only her.

This was the Dou Qi Continent, where the strong were revered. Only the strong could do as they pleased.

Meng Er also knew that Xiao Chen would surely become strong in the future, so there naturally would not be a shortage of women by his side. If she could not become his only one, then she would become one of his.

After getting dressed with Meng Er's help, Xiao Chen left the room and headed toward the Xiao Family Back Mountain.

Meng Er watched Xiao Chen's figure disappear beyond the doorway with eyes like autumn water. Her heart was still pounding as her lips parted slightly and she murmured to herself:

"Young Master Xiao Chen, I'll work hard to cultivate."

Afterward, Meng Er turned and entered the room, closing the door behind her. She sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes shut in cultivation. Soon, a faint purple glow emerged around her seated body.

Xiao Family Back Mountain, inside a stone cave.

Xiao Chen looked at the familiar Mountain Cave. This time, he intended to cultivate here, because it was close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where the dou qi was denser than elsewhere. Cultivating here would also be faster than in other places.

Without delay, Xiao Chen entered the Mountain Cave and came before the wooden tub he had used before. He took out ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid from his Cosmos Ring and poured them into the tub. Immediately, a thick green liquid appeared within it.

Xiao Chen removed his upper garments, baring his torso, then stepped into the wooden tub filled with green liquid and sat cross-legged. He took out another drop each of Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood and Phoenix Essence Blood from his Cosmos Ring.

Xiao Chen's dark eyes looked toward the two Jade Bottles before him, one holding a drop of purple-gold blood and the other a drop of golden blood. They were the Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood and Phoenix Essence Blood. Xiao Chen planned to absorb the dou qi of heaven and earth while cultivating, while also refining and absorbing the two essence bloods to strengthen his body.

Xiao Chen immediately placed the purple-gold drop of Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood into his mouth and began refining it. At the same time, he silently recited the cultivation formula for the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was doing three things at once: absorbing the dou qi of heaven and earth to cultivate, refining the Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood, and cultivating the powerful technique known as the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.

Time gradually passed amid cultivation.

Outside the Mountain Cave, vast amounts of dou qi gathered toward the cave where Xiao Chen was. Xiao Chen drew the dou qi from the air into his body, refined it within himself, and then compressed it, making it purer and denser. He could feel the abundance of dou qi within his body—this was the benefit brought by compressing dou qi.

After Xiao Chen finished absorbing that drop of Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood, he began absorbing the Phoenix Essence Blood. From time to time, faint popping sounds rang out from within his body.

Feeling the soft sounds coming from inside his body, Xiao Chen knew that Giant Elephant Micro-Particles were awakening.

One day, two months later.

"Eight-Segment Dou Qi already?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen, seated cross-legged in the wooden tub, blinked. Then he opened his eyes and withdrew from his cultivation state. Feeling the strength within his body, he muttered to himself.

Xiao Chen lowered his head to look at the green liquid in the wooden tub. By now, the originally green liquid had turned clear, and he knew that the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had been exhausted.

Xiao Chen immediately stood up from the wooden tub, replaced its water with fresh water, and took out more Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid from his Cosmos Ring. This time, he poured thirty bottles into the tub.

The clear water in the wooden tub became a deep green liquid. Seeing this, Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction. During this period of secluded cultivation, he intended to break through to the Dou Zhe realm before leaving.

Xiao Chen entered the wooden tub again and sat cross-legged. As before, he took a drop of purple-gold Progenitor Dragon Essence Blood from a Jade Bottle, swallowed it, and began refining it while silently reciting the cultivation formula for the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength.
