Yun Chu'an then stepped forward, touched her neck with his pen, and neatly wrote the two characters "Yan She" followed by a colon and then a horizontal line.
That was the first stroke of the character "正" (zhèng), representing that she had been facially assaulted by him once so far.
After doing all this, he looked satisfied, said "Thank you for your hard work," put away all his tools, put her in shackles, and turned to leave.
You Wensi closed her eyes, too lazy to think about any more plans to fight him. Even though today had been full of twists and turns, subconsciously, she was gradually beginning to feel that this kind of life wasn't so unacceptable after all.
After all, her cultivation was improving, her body felt very comfortable, and she had managed to save face in front of her fellow disciples, it seemed...
not bad?
Of course, we should still try to turn things around when the opportunity arises. In the future…
Various thoughts clashed in her mind, even though she was still naked and hanging in the cell. But in the end, she couldn't come up with anything, and exhausted, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
……
The dragon son of the Wei River entered a village.
This village looks like just an ordinary village, with mud plastered on the walls of low houses for insulation, showing that the village is very ordinary.
He was dressed casually today, walking along the muddy streets of the village. The ordinary people in coarse linen clothes on both sides instinctively ignored him, and he walked on without bumping into anyone.
He finally stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary room and looked up. The small house looked no different from the others, but in fact, it held a hidden secret.
He silently recited a spell, and then the door to the room opened, revealing a deep passage that seemed to lead to another world.
He stepped inside, and as soon as he entered, he was immediately struck by the unexpected openness of the seemingly dilapidated house. The floor was covered with an exquisite carpet, and a peculiar fragrance filled the air. The snow-white walls were decorated with a few paintings of semi-nude dancers, and on the dressing table beside the bed, a stunningly beautiful woman was grooming herself in front of the mirror.
Weihe Longzi smiled. This was an acquaintance of his, a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, Xu Yinghuan, his secret lover, and also the first person to sexually awaken him in his dragon life.
The old Dragon King disciplined him strictly, instructing him that if he were to marry into the dragon clans of other great rivers and lakes in the future, he must first maintain his purity and integrity in order to marry his ideal and perfect wife.
At first, the dragon prince of the Wei River believed this quite well. However, dragons are inherently lustful, and when he met Xu Yinghuan, he inevitably fell for him.
Even though he knew very well what kind of sect the Hehuan Sect was, and Xu Yinghuan did not hide it from him, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was still deeply immersed in it.
Because he always felt that this woman was different from the other seductive and shameless women of the Hehuan Sect.
She didn't embark on this path of spiritual practice out of her own volition. She originally had happy, independent parents, but her father passed away, her mother became seriously ill, and she had a younger brother who had just begun his spiritual journey. She emptied her family's savings to start a business with her ex-husband, only to lose everything. After that, her ex-husband became despondent, developing a gambling addiction and subjecting her to constant domestic violence…
In short, she was a pitiful woman, and just thinking about it made Weihe Longzi feel sorry for her.
Unfortunately, no matter how pitiful she was, she was still a female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect. Considering her reputation, he couldn't get too close to her. This amount of help was the limit.
He entered the room, closed the door, and stood in front of the dressing table. Xu Yinghuan turned her head, saw him, and immediately a joyful smile bloomed on her face, as if spring had arrived: "You're here."
But then her expression turned sad, and she gently bit her lower lip, as if she was reluctant to part with it.
Weihe Longzi walked to her side and nodded gently: "Mm."
But looking at her expression, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Is your ex-husband causing you trouble again?"
Xu Yinghuan shook her head slightly: "No, it's just..."
As she spoke, she turned slightly, took out a 30-centimeter square box from inside, and handed it to him with both hands, forcing a smile onto her sorrowful face: "Congratulations on breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. I suppose the Golden Core stage shouldn't be so reluctant now, right?"
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River took it with a puzzled look, opened it, and saw two black lotus flowers lying quietly inside.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Twin Black Lotus? This kind of medicinal herb is not cheap. Where did you get it?"
Xu Yinghuan forced a smile and said, "I haven't used any of the mid-grade spirit stones you've spent on me over the years; I've been saving them up. I heard you broke through, so I took them out to buy this. It's not too expensive, so I'm giving it to you. If it can help you break through to the Golden Core stage, then all my efforts won't have been in vain."
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River was in turmoil, overwhelmed with emotion, while Xu Yinghuan continued, his voice growing hoarse: "Dragon Prince, let's consider this our last time. Don't come here again; it's not good for your reputation. If other dragon princesses hear about this in the future and look down on you, it won't be good for your future either."
"Forget about me from now on, just pretend you never met me. As long as you are happy in the future, I will be content." As she spoke, her eyes reddened and her voice began to choke. "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely be reborn as a good woman to marry you."
Weihe Longzi felt his heart trembling.
……
"Yes, play this part here. Come on, try again, and you'll be able to produce a beautiful melody..."
At the top of a small hill in the field mouse family's territory, under the huge shade of a tree, Liu Mengshen sat cross-legged on the ground, with a huge ancient zither on her knees.
Yun Chuan sat beside her, a similar guqin resting on his lap. He activated the system's pale blue screen, referring to the information on it, and personally instructed his beloved wife on how to play beautiful melodies.
Chapter 437 Growth
After that day, having vented all his negative emotions on You Wensi, he remained calm for a long time. When he came to his senses, he realized that he might have vented too much of his negative emotions on Liu Mengshen, which might have increased her stress, and he felt quite guilty.
Out of a sense of compensation, he spent the next few days studying the guqin, exchanged for sheet music in the system, and after mastering it, he took it to Liu Mengshen and studied it with her.
Under the clear blue sky, a gentle breeze blew, and the wispy white clouds changed shape with the wind, creating a beautiful scene. Liu Mengshen, nestled in the shade of a tree, looked down at the guqin on her lap, her eyes fixed on it. She silently recited the score in her mind once more before raising her hand and gently plucking the strings.
The melodious sound of the piano then rang out, carrying far and wide. Yun Chu'an smiled as he watched Liu Mengshen, whose movements were clumsy but who had still managed to begin her performance, and felt an inexplicable surge of joy in his heart.
His mind was emptied, his soul was clear and pure, and all his distracting thoughts naturally disappeared, no longer disturbing his mind in the slightest.
Unbeknownst to him, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared behind him; they were Yan Yao and Sui Sui.
Two years have passed, and the little snake demon Sui Sui has grown more and more beautiful. Originally, she was about the same height as Yan Yao, but now she is more than a head taller than him.
On the contrary, Yan Yao seemed to have changed little over the past two years, still looking the same as before. Standing behind him, his big eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at Yun Chu'an and quietly listened to Liu Mengshen's music.
Soon, the music ended, and Liu Mengshen stopped playing, turned to look at Yun Chuan, her heart filled with anticipation, as if waiting for his praise.
Yun Chu'an didn't hold back her praise at all, stepping forward and opening her arms to hug his body: "Very good, Dream Body, very beautiful."
It was a simple compliment, yet it was enough to make the girl jump for joy. She wanted to hug him back, but noticing the two girls standing behind him, she blushed and pushed him away, saying, "The children are watching."
Yun Chu'an released her arms, turned her head to look at Yan Yao and Sui Sui, and patted their heads with a smile: "Come play with me?"
Yan Yao looked up at him, his tone somewhat worried: "You need to be careful, there's a dark aura between your eyebrows."
Yun Chuan'an's expression shifted. He had actually realized the extraordinary nature of this girl long ago. Whether it was her seeing him as someone who was about to have good luck, or being recognized by Yan Shuiyi as having extraordinary talent, or the fact that she hadn't grown up at all in the past two years, all of these indicated that this girl must be hiding some secret.
However, for the time being, he was unable to find out what was wrong with her. He simply patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Yes, I know, I will be careful."
As he spoke, he took out a replica from his storage bag, handed it to her, and said it was a new toy he had found. Then he told them to go and play with it by themselves.
After seeing off the two little pests, Liu Meng stood up, faced him, reached out to straighten his collar, and whispered, "Are you alright? Everyone at home is very worried about you, even Yan Yao noticed."
Yun Chuan hugged her and gently patted her back: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I can handle my emotions and won't delay our family's important matters."
As he spoke, his gaze gradually drifted into the distance, his thoughts wandering: "I have covered in three years what others may not be able to cover in thirty years. It's just that I haven't adapted to this change in identity yet, and I still need more time to mature."
Liu Mengshen didn't quite understand the changing situation outside, but she simply stayed close to his heart, trying her best to give him warmth.
After a tender moment, the two parted ways, each putting away their respective guqin. Yun Chu'an gave her a kiss, then turned and sped away, returning to Huai Mountain.
He had planned to go find Zhu Yunqing to talk to, but as soon as he returned, he saw a little wolf demon and a black bear demon arguing at the entrance of the town. It seemed that both little demons wanted to find him, but they didn't get along. Fortunately, the two were baring their teeth at each other, but in the end, they didn't fight.
Seeing these subordinates who were not getting along well with each other, Yun Chu'an felt a surge of irritation: "What's wrong!"
He rushed to the two lesser demons, using his body to block their view. The two demons immediately snapped back to reality and exclaimed eagerly, "Instructor Guangzhi has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Boss Aaron has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
This was rare good news; the family had gained two more reliable Foundation Establishment stage fighters. Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, his negative emotions vanishing, and he nodded gently: "Good! Where are they now? Take me there; I have something to reward them with!"
The little wolf demon hurriedly said, "Instructor Guangzhi is at the camp. He said he still needs to consolidate his realm. Even though he has broken through, he has not relaxed and has been practicing diligently."
The black bear demon hurriedly said, "Boss Aron sent me to inform you that you must know about this good news first..."
Clearly, both demon cultivators were vying for favor. Yun Chu'an hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, you two go and inform them to come up the mountain to find me. I have something to reward them."
He tried his best to remain impartial, and the two little demons obeyed, turning around and swiftly descending the mountain.
Yun Chu'an turned back and picked out a set of precious armor and a pair of swift boots from his previous spoils. After he made his selection, the wolf demons and bear demons went up the mountain together. Guangzhi and Qi Along, the two leaders, bowed respectfully to him upon seeing him.
Yun Chu'an presented the two demon cultivators with a suit of armor and boots, along with a large sum of mid-grade spirit stones as a congratulatory gift. The two demon cultivators were immediately grateful, and Qi Along was even more unable to control his emotions, shedding tears.
Yun Chu'an knew this guy couldn't control his emotions, so he didn't bother to say anything. Looking at the vast expanse of people on the mountaintop, he couldn't help but frown slightly, then said, "Isn't it a bit too crowded for so many of us demon cultivators to be crammed onto one mountaintop?"
After more than two years, both wolf demons and bear demons, having settled into a peaceful life, naturally devoted themselves to reproduction.
So much time has passed, and although many of the new little demons have not yet gained intelligence, cannot take human form, and it is unclear whether they will be able to successfully embark on the path of cultivation in the future, their numbers are still much greater than before.
But that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that there are more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family. With the five sisters who are still at home, plus myself, and Guangzhi and Alon who have just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, there are already eight Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In the past, each Foundation Establishment cultivator had to have their own small mountain to set up the most suitable cultivation environment for themselves. Now, for the eight of them, the mountain is clearly not enough.
Not to mention the future, Uvi, the true leader of the Gray Wolf clan, may also advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, it would be ridiculous to have three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators crammed on the same small hill.
Upon hearing this, the many lesser demons exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of his meaning.
Uvi was also in the crowd, but at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was already far ahead of Guangzhi in terms of cultivation. Hearing this, he immediately felt conflicted: Was Commander Yun trying to get rid of us, or was he just finding us a new place? If we went to a new stronghold, who would be the leader in the future? Guangzhi's cultivation was higher than mine, so he would most likely replace me, but if I insisted on staying, I was afraid…
He didn't know, but Guangzhi saw it very clearly and immediately expressed his opinion: "Guangzhi is willing to follow Commander Yun. If the Commander wants Guangzhi to expand the territory of the Huaishan family and occupy new hills, Guangzhi is also willing to be the Commander's vanguard."
Qi Alon didn't have that many thoughts at all, and simply nodded in agreement: "Ah, that's right, it is indeed inconvenient to be crammed on a mountain sometimes."
Yun Chu'an clapped his hands and immediately decided: "Then let's set off after finding a suitable mountain. Let's try to resolve this as soon as possible so that every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the family can have their own mountain to settle down."
Upon his announcement, the lesser demons cheered with unbridled joy.
Without further ado, the group set off immediately, surveying the area around Huai Mountain and quickly determining which hill belonged to which person.
Then came the occupation.
Chapter 438: Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect
Yun Chu'an personally led the team, and their combat strength was undeniably formidable. More importantly, there weren't many demon cultivators on the surrounding mountains, nor were there any particularly powerful figures stationed there.
So, after a day and a night, the rogue cultivators on the surrounding mountains were either driven away or forced to submit to the Huai Mountain family as their new servants.
However, they didn't complain much. After all, most of these demon cultivators, who could only cultivate alone on these neglected hilltops, were pitifully poor. Faced with a cultivator of his level, they didn't have much desire to resist and surrendered easily.
Not to mention that after they surrendered, Yun Chu'an was very generous, taking out a lot of spirit stones from his spirit stone bag as rewards, almost everyone received one. This made the newly surrendered little demons exclaim in amazement at his wealth and generosity, and their negative emotions were swept away. Instead, they believed that today must be their lucky day, a moment that could change their destiny.
As a result, the surrounding hills also came under his control, and the area occupied by the family was constantly expanding. Even though the family's highest visible fighting force, the Huai Mountain family head You Wensi, was currently imprisoned...
……
Across the Wei Lake, amidst the green hills and clear waters, Xu Yinghuan used his "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique to quickly traverse a hundred miles of mountain roads and arrive at a secluded valley.
There was a pavilion in the sunny spot, which was her destination. She hurried into the pavilion, where a beautiful figure sat facing her sideways, as if waiting for her.
The woman sitting in the pavilion did not dress up much. She was simply wearing a light blue fitted cotton dress, her hair was simply tied up on her head, and she even deliberately wore a thin veil over her face so that outsiders could not see her.
She resembled a humble girl from a modest family, with little money to adorn herself. Yet, even so, just seeing that figure made Xu Yinghuan's heart pound wildly.
She knew that she was about to face the Jade Pure Sacred Body, a sight to behold only once in a thousand years, and the most beautiful woman in the entire Central Plains, and perhaps even the entire cultivation world.
That is, she is the current Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.
The saintess concealed her true face with a veil, making it impossible for outsiders to see clearly. However, just looking at her exquisite figure wrapped in fine cotton clothing and her otherworldly temperament, Xu Yinghuan, even as a woman, couldn't help but marvel at how stunningly beautiful she was.
Not to mention her true appearance. It is said that when the Holy Maiden first entered the Qi Refining stage and awakened her physique, even the sect leader could not control his emotions for a moment when he saw her face.
Fortunately, the sect leader possessed great strength, which allowed him to calm his mind. After that, in order to protect her, the sect leader raised her in the secret realm of the Hehuan Sect, concealing her existence. For many years, very few people even knew of her existence.
She only emerged from the mountain after she had formed her golden core. Even so, she has never deliberately dressed up or adorned herself; in fact, she has to cover her face with a veil before going out.
Even so, her figure and temperament were already so exquisitely beautiful. Xu Yinghuan couldn't even imagine what kind of upheaval would be stirred up in the cultivation world if the Holy Maiden were to unveil her face one day, and what crazy things those men would do for her.
She controlled her emotions, stepped forward, approached the saintess, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Saintess!"
The saintess in the pavilion smiled gently. Even through her veil, Xu Yinghuan could almost see her exquisite smile, and for a moment he was stunned.
"Sit down," she said softly, gesturing for her to sit beside her. Within the Joyful Union Sect, there weren't so many rigid hierarchical rules; everyone addressed each other as sisters. Even though the Holy Maiden held a special and transcendent status, there wasn't a significant divide between her and other female cultivators.
Xu Yinghuan was cautious. Even though they were both from the Hehuan Sect, she still felt somewhat inferior in front of the Holy Maiden.
What virtue or ability do I, a woman like myself, possess to be able to sit with the saintess?
"Are the words I taught you still effective?" the Holy Maiden asked softly. Upon hearing this, Xu Yinghuan's eyes immediately lit up: "They're effective! My lady, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River is now completely infatuated with me. He went back and started telling everyone that no matter what others think, he will marry no one but me in this life."
"Therefore, this person is now firmly in our Hehuan Sect's grasp."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with admiration: "Your Holiness, how did you come up with such a useful method? I usually dress up so carefully, but he remains unmoved. Yet that day, after just a few words, he went to great lengths to marry me..."
Beneath the veil, the saintess smiled gently: "Beauty alone cannot conquer a man's heart, but at that moment, that dragon prince believed that what he had for you was love."
Xu Yinghuan blinked, not really agreeing with her first statement. In her opinion, it was simply a matter of not being beautiful enough. If she were as beautiful as a saint, wouldn't she be able to make men go crazy for her with just a wave of her hand?
However, she did not understand why, until now, the saintess had not only not personally taken action to conquer a man, but had not even taken off her veil or revealed her true face to outsiders.
It seems rather absurd and laughable that the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains and even the cultivation world, the holy maiden and future leader appointed by the licentious Hehuan Sect, has remained a virgin for a hundred years.
She is even more extreme than the young ladies from those strict cultivation families; to this day, she has never shown her true face to outsiders.
This may sound unbelievable, but it is an undeniable fact.
