"Shen Family Patriarch, you mean me, don't you?"
Su Ye struggled to hold himself upright.
"I'm honored you think so highly of me. I just don't know what you plan to use me for."
Shen Qingxuan flashed to Su Ye's side.
He took a deep, lingering breath, his face filling with rapture.
"What an intoxicating scent of youth. Such a young body, yet you've already reached the Transcendent Eighth Heaven. Long Aotian, you're truly the greatest Monster Prodigy I've ever met. I imagine this body of yours must have extraordinary potential too."

"So... you want my body?"
Shen Qingxuan smiled and nodded. "Just as clever as I expected. That's right, I want your body! Your Cultivation Level is still a little short, but don't worry. I'll help you rise straight to the Ninth Heaven!"
Shen Qingxuan looked at Su Ye like a kindly father ready to devote all his power to lifting up his child.
Su Ye only found it creepy.
"Take me straight to the Ninth Heaven? And then what? What are you going to do to me?"

At the mention of his son, Lan Family Patriarch Lan Hengyu turned at once. He stared hard at Shen Qingxuan,
