Parting

As a meticulous person, Xu Yuan did not forget the instructions he had given Zhou Chen earlier.

But as it turns out, he seemed to have overestimated himself.

Because it won't even take half an hour.

Su the Succubus has indeed become much more powerful than before; her cultivation is so deep that he can no longer drain her power.

After Devil Cultivator the Great Joy Yin-Yang Art, the Charm God Spore became even more subtle and imperceptible, and their quantity was vastly different from what it had been in Jingjiang Prefecture.

Moreover, Su Jinxuan can now even self-destruct and crush her own Charm God Spore, directly feeding pure soul power into Xu Yuan's sea of consciousness.

One-stop service.

Before he had finished eating, Su Jinxuan fed him another pinch.

In just fifteen minutes, he was completely satisfied by her.

Inside the room, there was only the rustling sound of someone getting dressed.

Su Jinxuan sat on the edge of the bed, slipping her white lace-trimmed silk stockings over her alabaster-white feet, and slowly pulled them up, asking casually:

"Young Master, is this enough? After this parting, Jinxuan doesn't know when she will see you again."

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, eyes closed, expression serene, voice as still as water:

Everything needs to be done in moderation.

Su Jinxuan put her boots back on, and let out a soft chuckle from her small, pert nose.

"Back in Jingjiang Prefecture, the young master would only stop when he had completely exhausted Jinxuan."

Xu Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at her:

"If you'd like to try, you can do it now."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan immediately reached out to pull at the woman's slender, fair wrist beneath her plain white dress:

"In another way."

"Snort"

Su Jinxuan subtly dodged the attack, her smile radiant:

"Young master, Princess Wu Yuan is still fighting to the death in the south of the city. Isn't your behavior somewhat unfair to her?"

"Are you scared?" Xu Yuan asked with a teasing look in his eyes.

Su Jinxuan pouted, her girlish demeanor making it hard for anyone to resist:

"Of course I'm scared. I've heard that princess is a killing machine. She's killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Jinxuan is just an ordinary person, of course she's scared."

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly:

"Actually, she's a pretty good person, just a bit too cunning."

"Shrewd and calculating?" Su Jinxuan asked with slight curiosity.

Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted her head:

"At least I'm much more cunning than you. You've got this personality all along, and yet it hasn't been exposed?"

This time, Su Jinxuan didn't dodge, but gave her a light, reproachful look:

"Jinxuan has made a lot of progress."

Xu Yuan got up and sat down on the edge of the bed with her, smiling:

"I don't see any improvement in you. You're still the same as you were in Jingjiang Prefecture, easily getting emotional over a few words."

Su Jinxuan pouted, her alluring beauty and every move exuding charm.

"I don't know. In front of you, young master, Jinxuan is like a fool. You can make Jinxuan angry with anything you say."

"."

Hearing his words, Xu Yuan's heart raced slightly, and he felt a surge of passion. His hand, which had been holding her hair, slid down and embraced her soft, boneless shoulders. He lowered his voice and said:

"You'd better stop using your seductive tricks, or I can't guarantee your safety."

Su Jinxuan's delicate body trembled slightly. Looking at his handsome face up close, her heart raced, her eyes darkened, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

"Young Master, Jinxuan was just... stating the truth."

Xu Yuan licked his dry lips.

The two were very close, close enough to feel each other's breath.

Although it's shameful, her innate allure is undeniable, capable of captivating souls effortlessly.

Before he began cultivating, things were better, but after he gained cultivation, even that great succubus Lou Ji couldn't compare.

If this Su the Succubus's personality were to become like Lou Ji's in the future...

Xu Yuan dared not think about it.

During the eye contact,

Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that Su Jinxuan's peach blossom eyes, which were so close to his own, were filled with tears.

Then,

Su Jinxuan pursed her lips and closed her eyes.

A beauty so captivating that one glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation, was at the mercy of men; the softness hidden beneath her loose, plain dress trembled slightly with her rapid breathing.

Xu Yuan felt a little numb.

The atmosphere is right, but are the relationships right?

What the hell do you mean by closing your eyes now?

Xu Yuan knew very well what closing his eyes meant, but the Charm Soul Demon Body was something that could be quite powerful once you delved deeper into it.

Lost in thought, Xu Yuan suddenly clenched his fist.

Damn it, who do you think you are?

Anyway, I possess the Charm God Dao Rhyme.

In silence,

Xu Yuan skillfully laid the woman's boneless body flat on the bed, stood up, and was about to unbutton her clothes.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open from the outside.

"." Zhou Chen.

Xu Yuan slowly turned his gaze back, his eyes calm.

Zhou Chen suddenly felt that the weather was a bit cold tonight.

They locked eyes for a moment,

"Smack!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Chen slapped himself across the face, then bowed and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Third Young Master, I have important matters to report."

"Go out first."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, his voice tinged with amusement. "I'll report back later."

"Yes, just call me if you need anything." Zhou Chen cursed inwardly as he respectfully closed the door and continued guarding the courtyard.

The door closed, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Su Jinxuan lay on her back on the bed, her loose plain clothes unable to conceal her voluptuous figure, her peach blossom eyes gazing longingly at Xu Yuan.

"."

Silently circulating his Cultivation Method twice, the Blood Origin Heart-Fall Technique lived up to its reputation as a blood-colored Cultivation Method, and Xu Yuan regained his clarity in just over ten breaths.

He realized his unusual behavior.

His innate allure, stemming from his Charm Soul Demon Body, caused his cerebellum to somewhat control his brain.

The extent to which the Charm God Dao Rhyme resists the Charm Soul Demon Body is still uncertain, and I almost made a grave mistake due to a momentary lapse in judgment.

Although there are many ways to sleep, indulging in pleasure should wait until later, given the current predicament.

It's not his fault, nor is it Su Jinxuan's fault.

The night was so dark yet so gentle, so beautiful; coupled with her Charm Soul Demon Body, who could resist?

Looking at Su Jinxuan, who was still sprawled on the bed, Xu Yuan rubbed his temples, lowered his hand, and chuckled as he said:

"What are you still lying there for? Get up."

"Okay."

Su Jinxuan silently sat up from the bed, a look of relief flashing in her peach blossom eyes, along with a hint of other emotions. But when she thought about what she had just done, her fair face turned as red as if it could bleed.

She didn't know why she had done something so shameless.

The more Su Jinxuan thought about it, the faster her heart beat. She sat upright on the edge of the bed without saying a word, her back ramrod straight.

After a while,

Su Jinxuan, slightly flustered, gathered her thoughts and said softly:

"Young master, I'm sorry."

"Ah?"

Xu Yuan regained his composure, looking slightly puzzled. "Why are you apologizing?"

Su Jinxuan spoke softly, taking the blame upon herself:

"Jinxuan's constitution is unusual; it almost caused you, young master, to make a grave mistake."

Xu Yuan shook his head and smiled, completely unconcerned.

"A single glance from you amidst a sea of beauties makes all other colors pale in comparison; it's all because you, Jinxuan, are so stunningly beautiful."

"."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan's beautiful peach blossom eyes curved slightly, sparkling, and an unconscious smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing her expression, Xu Yuan suddenly leaned closer and asked, feigning curiosity:

"Jinxuan, can you tell me why you closed your eyes just now?"

Su Jinxuan's eyes widened slightly, a fleeting panic in them like a startled swan:

"Close your eyes, Jinxuan, Jinxuan just now, just now."

Halfway through the conversation,

Her voice gradually faded, and she lowered her head, remaining silent.

What a disgraceful succubus.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly.

Fortunately, she was shameful enough; otherwise, this Su the Succubus would have turned into that old woman Lou Ji.

He was hesitant to think further.

If you can't answer, then forget it.

Xu Yuan spoke in a soft, gentle voice, with a hint of soothing conversation. "Jinxuan, you know, when we parted ways in Jingjiang Prefecture, I thought you would appear as a demoness from a demonic sect the next time we met."

"Huh?" Su Jinxuan raised her eyes, her gaze somewhat puzzled. "A demoness from the Demonic Cult?"

"Isn't that how it's always portrayed in picture books?"

As he spoke, Xu Yuan pointed to himself. "A noble young master is in trouble, and a demonic witch from the Demonic Sect descends from the heavens to save him; a beauty saves a bear."

"Pfft~"

Su Jinxuan chuckled, her smile charming, and gently scolded, "Young Master, how could you be so childish?"

Xu Yuan smiled and replied softly:

"Men, more or less, all have these kinds of fantasies."

Hearing his words, the ripples of embarrassment and nervousness that had been rising in Su Jinxuan's heart gradually faded:

"Then Jinxuan will work hard in her cultivation, hoping to be able to save the bear for you, young master and beauty, next time we meet, hehe~"

Xu Yuan looked her up and down with great interest for a while, then shook his head and said:

"Your cultivation level may be sufficient, but your combat strength is probably still lacking."

"Young Master, Jinxuan is not weak." Su Jinxuan blinked and whispered, "Jinxuan's Source Qi is now fifty percent more than that of an average Fusion Realm."

"Ran Qingmo, have you heard of him?" Xu Yuan suddenly asked.

"..." Su Jinxuan's smile froze, and a hint of sadness flashed in her peach blossom eyes.

She had naturally heard the news that the Sword Sect's top disciple was traveling the world with the Third Young Master master of the Prime Minister's Estate.

Xu Yuan saw through it, but still continued:

"Although your current cultivation level is not unstable due to your physique and Cultivation Method, you would be no match for a true genius like Ran Qingmo."

Su Jinxuan clenched her fists slightly and whispered:

"Jinxuan will catch up with her."

Xu Yuan did not express any objection to Su Jinxuan's words.

Su the Succubus, Big Ice Block doesn't, so of course she can catch up.

But that's not what he meant.

After a pause, Xu Yuan said:

"That's not what I meant, Jinxuan. Your physique and Cultivation Method are indeed very strong, but don't be too eager for quick success. You currently lack Daoist understanding, Daoist intent, and even practical combat experience."

This is probably a common problem for people whose cultivation level advances by leaps and bounds.

Before entering the Qionghua Secret Realm, even with the enhancement of the Crimson Cultivation Method, the muscular giants of the same level in the Wuxuan Academy could still easily defeat him.

Practical experience is really important.

To advance further, one needs to comprehend the essence and meaning of the Dao.

Su Jinxuan seemed to understand but not quite:

"Does the young master mean that Jinxuan should have more time to reflect?"

That's roughly the idea.

Xu Yuan nodded, glancing at the jade box containing the Charm God Flower on the table. "By using the Charm God Flower, you should be able to comprehend the Charm God Dao Rhyme, but my advice is not to break through immediately."

Su Jinxuan smiled slightly:

"Young Master, rest assured, Jinxuan is sensible in this matter. The reason why Qin Weijiu is letting Jinxuan go is because Jinxuan has not comprehended the Dao and therefore poses no threat to him."

The hatred for the massacre of his entire family was a thorn in Qin Weijiu's heart.

Although the massacre of the Su Cloth Shop was handled very secretly, and although nearly twenty years have passed, it remains a thorn in Qin Weijiu's side, preventing him from ever fully trusting Su Jinxuan.

Xu Yuan praised, "You're quite clever."

Su Jinxuan snorted and stared straight at Xu Yuan:

"As I just said, Jinxuan only acts like a fool in front of you, young master."

"."

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he subtly averted his gaze and changed the subject:

"Qin Weijiu must be worried about you, right? Didn't he have someone watching you?"

Su Jinxuan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded:

"He arranged for a Grandmaster of the third rank, ostensibly to protect Jinxuan's safety, but in reality, to monitor her."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow:

"Won't you get into trouble coming here to see me?"

"Young Master, are you concerned about Jinxuan?" Su Jinxuan asked with a smile.

Xu Yuan nodded without hesitation:

"Of course I care. You owe me nearly ten million taels of silver, and I can't bear to lose this treasure of yours."

Su Jinxuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart and smiled charmingly:

"Don't worry, young master, that man is dead tonight."

"Dead?"

Xu Yuan asked with surprise, "You can already control a third-grade Grandmaster?"

Su Jinxuan shook her head. "That Grandmaster was a woman, Jinxuan's charm has limited effect on women."

"Limited?" Xu Yuan asked with interest. "In other words, it still has an effect?"

"Of course there is." Su Jinxuan rolled her eyes at Xu Yuan. "However, that woman was probably deliberately instructed by Qin Weijiu to be wary of me, so I couldn't make a move against her. I could only use someone else to do the dirty work."

"You used those storage formations to kill her?"

"Hmm, Qin Weijiu arranged for her to retrieve something from the Spirit Water Palace's storeroom, which conflicted with my orders, so I had that Body Fusion directly use an array to kill her." A cold glint flashed in Su Jinxuan's eyes. "A third-grade Grandmaster should be enough to make Qin Weijiu feel bad for a while."

Xu Yuan frowned:

Don't do that again.

"Hmm?" Su Jinxuan, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Yuan let out a breath:

"Just a third-grade Grandmaster, not worth it."

"Not even a third-grade Grandmaster is worth it?" Su Jinxuan blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"."

Seeing her strange look, Xu Yuan was speechless.

Vision

If he were still in the Qionghua Secret Realm before entering it, he would probably have thought the risk was worthwhile.

A third-grade Grandmaster is already considered to be among the very top tier of people in the Great Yan Kingdom, after all, having traveled for so long, he has only ever seen one fourth-grade Nascent Body Fusion.

But after spending too much time in the Imperial Capital...

A third-grade Grandmaster is indeed one of the very elite, but he is still just a high-level henchman.

There's still a Grandmaster Zhou standing guard outside the courtyard in the snow.

After a moment's consideration, Xu Yuan said very seriously:

"I hope you won't do such risky things again in the future. A third-grade Grandmaster is not worth the risk for you, Jinxuan."

He emphasized "Jinxuan, you" slightly.

Su Jinxuan's eyes blinked, and she smiled, pursing her lips.

"Good"

Xu Yuan nodded gently upon hearing her answer:

"Do you have anything else important to tell me?"

Su Jinxuan tilted her head and thought for a moment:

"I've already told you everything I found, young master. Qin Weijiu doesn't trust me, so he hasn't let me handle many things yet."

Xu Yuan hesitated slightly, then asked:

Since he doesn't trust you, why don't you just be direct?

"Young Master."

Su Jinxuan interrupted Xu Yuan, puffing out her chest and wearing a graceful smile, "We are business partners."

Seeing her resolute gaze, Xu Yuan sighed and didn't try to persuade her any further.

"In that case, Jinxuan, do you have a way to leave the city?"

"Yes, Qin Weijiu has already made arrangements for me."

Su Jinxuan stood up gracefully and bowed slightly to Xu Yuan: "Young Master, this parting may mean a long time before we meet again."

"Go ahead, and I hope you'll be a third-grade Grandmaster by the time we meet again."

Xu Yuan propped himself up on the bed, leaning back slightly. "Our Prime Minister's Estate treats third-rank Grandmaster quite well. You'll probably only need to work for about two hundred years to pay off your debts."

Su Jinxuan chuckled sweetly:

"Alright, next time we meet Jinxuan will definitely transform into a demonic witch to save you, young master!"

"I hope so."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

But Su Jinxuan didn't move, her eyes fixed on his smiling face.

Xu Yuan looked slightly puzzled.

The next moment,

He suddenly saw a pink light flash in her eyes.

A moment of dizziness,

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

Then,

Xu Yuan felt a huge, soft mass press against his chest, and those addictive, poppy-like red lips gently pressed against his own.
