Chapter 527: Tasting New Tea (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
The Devil Clan and the Flame Clan’s Itinerant Immortals were also in contact, but the results were similar to the Spirit Clan.
Half a year later in Sword Seal City’s Luo Xia Peak, Shen Ping, who had been waiting for the various races to take action, was surprised to discover that there was no movement from the Penglai Immortal City. This puzzled him no matter how he thought about it. After all, he had killed five foreign races’ Tribulation Transcendences and had taken the initiative to provoke them in front of the Tai Hua Sect’s entrance. The foreign races would send out Itinerant Immortals even for the sake of their reputation, but in the end, they did not take action.
He told his master about this. Lian Xuejin smiled and said, “Disciple, I think the immortals from the Sea of Stars have shocked them.”
Only then did Shen Ping come to a realization. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Itinerant Immortals did not take action, he was not afraid of Tribulation Transcendence. At most, he would use his trump card, the Talisman Beast Diagram. He did not believe that if he killed too many of them, those alien races would not be afraid.
“Disciple, comprehending the Beast Scripture and charging into the Beast Spirit Ranking is the most important thing. The western region of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness is only a corner of the lower realm. Don’t put the cart before the horse.”
Hearing his master’s reminder, Shen Ping nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”
Although he said that, he knew very well that if not for the fact that he had broken through to the Body Integration realm this time and had the innate talent of a strange beast enhancement and teleportation, he would not have been able to avoid this calamity. In the end, he would even implicate his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. To put it bluntly, he was still not strong enough.
Those who were weak would be beaten. This was an unchanging truth. Comprehending the Beast Scripture was important, but raising one’s cultivation realm was equally important. If he was in the Itinerant Immortal realm, would Tai Hua Sect still dare to look down on and bully him?
“I’ll wait in Sword Seal City for another two years. If there’s still no news from Penglai Immortal City, I’ll return to Gray Stone City to cultivate!”
He made a decision in his heart. Shen Ping continued to stay on Luo Xia Peak. Every day, other than making talismans, he would drink tea with Fairy Luo Xia. During this period, Fairy Luo Xia also hesitated a few times to ask Shen Ping to help her understand the hidden dangers of the blood Gu. However, every time she mustered the courage to come to Shen Ping, she still could not say it.
Shen Ping understood very well. This was because once she spoke, it meant that she had to hand over everything she had without holding back. One had to know that if he entered her sea of consciousness to investigate, no matter what the outcome was, her sea of consciousness would leave traces of Shen Ping’s divine consciousness.
The Sea of Consciousness was the most secretive and crucial place for a cultivator. If there were traces of others, the other party’s shadow would forever remain in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, two years pa.s.sed.
There was still no movement from the various races in Penglai Immortal City. Instead, Daoist Gui Hai of Sword Seal City left, and Sword Seal City returned to its usual peace.
Although Shen Ping did not know if this was the calm before the storm, he could not continue to stay in Sword Seal City. All these years, his wife, concubine, and Dao companions had been staying in the Golden Pattern Hall. Even though he had gone back a few times and told them that he was fine, they would still be worried about him. If it was too long, there would inevitably be problems.
Fairy Luo Xia personally poured a gla.s.s of wine for Shen Ping. She knew that Shen Ping was leaving. To be honest, she was a little reluctant. During this period of time, she had been with Shen Ping day and night and almost told him everything. This was also because she wanted to mentally prepare herself. After all, she would have to face the blood gu sooner or later. In this state, it was inevitable that she would be a little restless.
Especially when she knew that the other party had long seen through her body, the emotions that had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years would naturally erupt.
“It’s not like we’re parting. Why are you so sad?” Shen Ping smiled and reached out to hug Fairy Luo Xia’s waist. He kissed her red lips and teased, “If you really can’t bear to, why don’t I stay tonight and have a good time?”
When Fairy Luo Xia heard this, the emotions in her heart instantly disappeared. She rolled her eyes, “You just want to take advantage of me, right? Hmph, go. Hurry up and leave.”
Shen Ping suddenly felt melancholic. He held his wine gla.s.s and looked at the spiritual peaks not far away. He sighed and said, “I don’t know when we will meet again after this departure. Perhaps it will be forever!”
Fairy Luo Xia said speechlessly, “After dealing with the miscellaneous matters in the peak, I’ll go to Gray Stone City and live with your wife, concubine, and Dao companions. In any case, I won’t be able to escape from your palm.” Seeing that Fairy Luo Xia had thought it through, Shen Ping did not continue to joke. Instead, he stood up and said, “I’m leaving.” He had already disappeared.
Fairy Luo Xia’s lips moved slightly, but in the end, she did not say what she wanted to say. She only looked in the direction of Gray Stone City in a daze. Only when the disciple arrived did she turn around.
Gray Stone City.
As the Golden Pattern Palace disappeared, w.a.n.g Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, and the Dao companions revealed looks of joy. When they saw Shen Ping, Bai Yuying and w.a.n.g Yun were the first to rush over and throw themselves into his arms. Pei Huoyu, Qiu Ying, and the other women, who were not good at expressing their emotions, stood at the side and watched with smiles.
“Husband, it’s good that you’re fine.”
“Ying’er is so afraid that she won’t see you again.” As Bai Yuying spoke, tears flowed down her face. They had indeed been worried to death recently because they had never seen Shen Ping so serious and even told them to hide.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “You’re already a Nascent Soul patriarch, but you still like to cry like a little girl.”
w.a.n.g Yun bit her lip and said, “Husband, don’t leave us behind again in the future. Even if we die, we have to be with you.”
Yu Yan, Mu Jin, and Yin Honglian all nodded. Even though they had been away from each other for a long time, their feelings for Shen Ping were very intense. The past days and nights had long engraved this feeling in their bones. It would not change even after experiencing the vicissitudes of time.
Shen Ping hugged w.a.n.g Yun and pulled Yu Yan into his arms. He shook his head and said, “It’s not that I left you behind, but I know that I won’t die. If I really face a desperate situation, I will definitely bring you along.” Yu Yan sighed and said, “Husband, we’re too weak. We can’t help you.” Pei Huoyu moved her lips and did not say anything. She knew that no matter how hard she worked, she would not be able to catch up to Shen Ping’s cultivation. Qiu Ying, Mu Jin, Yin Honglian, Luo Qing, and the other women had long known this.
However, Shen Ping said solemnly, “Don’t say that. Being able to accompany me is the greatest help.” He added, “Alright, it’s rare for you to gather. Why don’t we have a good time tonight?”
Dozens of days later, his wife, concubine, and Dao companions’ skin became even moister, and their smiles returned to their faces. He sat in the main hall of the City Lord Manor.
Jing Huilan said, “Husband, do you want An Yue to serve you at night? Fellow Daoist An has worked hard for the True Treasure Pavilion for more than a hundred years. If you take An Yue in, Fellow Daoist An will feel more at ease. Moreover, An Yue has waited for a long time.”
The True Treasure Pavilion was becoming more and more powerful. Although Shen Ping did not care about his power, he had to consider some favors.
Besides, w.a.n.g Yun and Yu Yan would work in the True Treasure Pavilion in the future.
“What’s An Yue’s cultivation level now?” Shen Ping asked her.
Jing Huilan replied, “She’s already in the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.”
Shen Ping was slightly surprised. “Her cultivation is not slow.”
Bai Yuying, Yu Yan, and the others were only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. They had the precious spiritual treasures that he had given them, as well as medicinal pills and other resources. Although An Yue could obtain them from the True Treasure Pavilion, her level was still a little lacking.
“An Yue’s apt.i.tude is not bad.”
When Shen Ping heard this, he pondered and said, “Alright, you can arrange it tonight.”
An Zhiyuan and the An sisters had indeed done a lot for him, especially An Zhiyuan and An Zhi. For the True Treasure Pavilion to develop so smoothly in the early stages, it could not do without their management. Although they had also obtained the corresponding resources, some things could not just look at benefits.
At night, An Yue sat nervously on the edge of the bed. When she heard footsteps, her entire body tensed up. Shen Ping stood in front of her and comforted her. “Don’t worry. With your cultivation and physique, it won’t hurt too much.”
An Yue nodded. She had waited for so long and was finally going to get her wish. “Please take pity on me, husband.”
As the lights went out, the two of them met.
Several days later, Shen Ping, who had tasted the new tea, left the bedroom in a good mood. He opened the virtual interface. The virtual frame that had not changed for a long time had changed. His gaze swept over.
Seeing that it was a silver frame, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. It seemed that An Yue’s feelings for him had indeed been increasing over time. However, when Shen Ping looked up and habitually looked at the other virtual frames, he was stunned..
