Su Chen then comforted them with a few more words, and once they relaxed, they all drove off separately.

Of course, Su Chen left with Yan Xi because he didn't drive when he came.

As they left, Su Chen casually called Qin Ming to handle the follow-up matters. He didn't want the police to bother him later!

Naturally, Qin Ming grumbled a bit, but Su Chen pretended not to hear the old guy's complaints!

...

When he and Yan Xi walked into the villa, the other women hadn't returned to their rooms yet. Seeing them come in together, they were quite surprised!

After all, when Su Chen left earlier, they didn't ask where he was going!

"Yan Xi, tell us honestly, how did you two end up together?"

Ye Mei's pretty face showed a playful expression as she spoke:

"Did you guys do something bad?"

"No, we didn't!"

Hearing this, Yan Xi immediately blushed!

Especially when the other women also looked at her with meaningful gazes, she felt her face burning up!

"Then tell us, how did you come back together?"

Qi Meng also came over and blinked with a smile.

Yan Xi suddenly didn't know how to answer. She certainly wouldn't tell the truth to avoid worrying everyone!

"Oh, I was just bored and went for a walk, and happened to bump into him on his way back, so we came in together. What are you all thinking!"

Su Chen, being experienced, casually made up an excuse.

Yan Xi quickly nodded upon hearing this:

"Exactly, that's how it was!"

Seeing Yan Xi's flustered appearance, the other women couldn't help but laugh!

Although they didn't know the specifics, they could see that the two weren't off fooling around, even though they all understood Yan Xi's feelings for him!

They were just teasing this little girl!

But since Yan Xi had a thin skin, she quickly hid in her room. Meanwhile, Su Chen lay down on a reclining chair...

When the time was almost up, everyone went back to their rooms.

After Su Chen returned to his room, he resumed his cultivation, intending to stabilize the realm he had just broken through to—Kaiyuan Middle Stage.

However, this would be quick; it would take about two days...

Su Chen continued cultivating until late at night, then took a shower and went to sleep.

He woke up after just two or three hours of sleep. When he reached the dining room, the other women were already there, and breakfast was ready.

After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue and the others went to work, while he returned to his room to continue cultivating...

...

Time quickly passed, and in those two days, Su Chen had largely stabilized his realm in the Kaiyuan Middle Stage.

After finishing cultivation that day, feeling a bit idle, he drove to the company.

At the company, he stuck to his usual routine of having a cup of tea and browsing a couple of magazines, enjoying himself leisurely!

Having finished reading, he initially thought about visiting Lin Ruoxue and the others, but reconsidered, thinking it might just add to the "harm"!

He thought for a moment, then headed to the PR department to check on Zhao Lin and Ran Ting!

He was concerned that the previous incident might have affected them somehow, but soon he realized he was overthinking!

When he came out of the PR department ten minutes later with his clothes all disheveled, he was practically on the verge of tears!

These women made him think of one phrase, "ferocious animals"!

Fortunately, no one else knew what he was thinking, or they'd say, "We can replace you!"

Of course, the feeling was strongest among the men in the PR department!

Every time they saw this scene, they were filled with envy!

However, they quite liked Su Chen as their department head. Despite being the boss and the husband of the CEO, he never put on airs or acted superior!

After coming out, Su Chen hurried to the bathroom to tidy up his clothes. If someone saw him like this, it would be embarrassing!

After Su Chen came out of the bathroom, he drove back home!

Once back, he began pondering the two Divine Skills and studying the Elixir Chapter of the Myriad Laws Forbidden Tome!

There were only a few days left before the elixir conference Qiu Yufei mentioned. Su Chen still didn't know the level of alchemy in the Ancient Martial World, so he wanted to take this opportunity to find out!

Of course, this wasn't a critical issue for him; after all, he didn't have much to do besides cultivation!

So he continued as usual, cultivating the Supreme Star Shifting Technique, pondering the Divine Skills, and studying elixirs without missing out on anything!

However, Su Chen found something strange; it seemed that the Nine Yang Divine Technique, Calm Spirit Body Technique, Supreme Star Shifting Sutra, and the Laws Forbidden Tome somehow had a mysterious connection!

He didn't know why he had such a strange feeling, even though these books were miraculous in their own right, the content was entirely contradictory!

But as he delved deeper into cultivation or research, the feeling grew stronger!

As for what the connection was, he couldn't pinpoint it!

He thought for a while but couldn't figure out the relationship, so he decided to drop it and continue pondering the two Divine Skills.

After two or three hours, Su Chen felt his mind a bit weary, so he changed into swim trunks and headed out to soak in the hot springs.

For him, it was the best way to relax!

Once he immersed his body in the water, he immediately felt relief all over, as if every pore had opened up!

Leaning against the edge of the pool, he gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling much better, and soon closed his eyes for a nap...

After a while, footsteps approached, and when Su Chen turned his head, it turned out to be Lan Xinyi!

Lan Xinyi was taken aback upon seeing Su Chen there, especially since he was alone!

"Xinyi, come and soak too!"

Su Chen said with a casual smile.

"Okay."

Lan Xinyi blushed and replied softly.

She was wearing a swimsuit, so there was no way to say no!

She had no choice but to come over, her heart pounding nervously!

Like Xu Xinran before, if there were other women around, it would be fine, but facing Su Chen alone was a bit embarrassing!

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't bother her, but she was wearing a swimsuit at that moment!

Moreover, as someone from the Ancient Martial World, Lan Xinyi was more conservative than typical urban women!

For instance, she would never have dared to wear a swimsuit before!

It was only because she became used to it in the villa with everyone else that she gradually got accustomed to it...
