His kiss actually woke up Xia Qiuru, mainly because it was about time for her biological clock as well; she usually got up around this time.

After realizing Su Chen's movement, a faint blush appeared on Xia Qiuru's face, and of course, a feeling of happiness flowed in her heart...

"Did you sleep well?"

Su Chen asked with a smile, then leaned against the bedhead and lit a cigarette.

"What do you think?!"

Originally full of tenderness, Xia Qiuru suddenly huffed upon hearing this.

The reason is simple, naturally, because she was tired out for several hours last night and only fell asleep in the latter half of the night!

Even now, there were still obvious aches in her body!

Hearing this, Su Chen chuckled awkwardly and then reached out to cuddle her.

After the cigarette was finished, both he and Xia Qiuru got up, freshened up, and went to the dining hall.

After breakfast, naturally, just like before, those who went to work went to work, and those who went to school went to school, while Su Chen and others returned to their rooms to cultivate.

Su Chen is now at the Kaiyuan Realm's Great Perfection, and another breakthrough would mean truly reaching the Condensation Pill Realm!

What's more, the "Thousand Hand Seal" has also been broken through, overall, he feels quite satisfied with his progress!

To be honest, with his current strength, he probably has some confidence against someone at the Late Stage of Earth's Ultimate Realm!

Of course, this is just his personal guess, as for the actual situation, he isn't certain.

After all, he hasn't encountered any expert of the Earth Level Realm, even at its Primary Stage!

...

Time swiftly flew by for over half a month, and during this period, Su Chen's routine remained the same as usual, cultivating and spending time with the ladies of the manor.

Of course, he occasionally visited Belle Group and Rose Group every now and then.

However, sometimes his actions seemed more like "disturbance" rather than company in the ladies' eyes, though they were quite used to it!

And during this period, his cultivation naturally improved. Not only him, but the ladies of the manor also advanced significantly in their cultivation under the large Gathering Yuan Formation and with the help of elixirs and demon beast inner pills!

Firstly, Lan Xinyi, whose cultivation has reached the Kaiyuan Late Stage and is striving for Kaiyuan Minor Perfection; following her are Qian Ying and Huang Menglei, both at the Kaiyuan Middle Stage!

Then there are Qi Meng and Eniel and a few others whose cultivation levels are similar, reaching Kaiyuan Primary Stage or striving to reach it!

Even the newcomers to cultivation like Lin Ruoxue and Xia Qiuru have started taking special elixirs refined by Su Chen for them!

One can imagine, their future cultivation progress will surely accelerate even faster!

And as for Ouyang Jing in the courtyard, he's almost reaching Kaiyuan Realm's Perfection, which shouldn't take long!

Also, Sun Yang is almost reaching Kaiyuan Middle Stage now!

As for Yunlong, he has already reached the eighth or ninth layer of the Meridian Expansion!

It could be said that everyone's cultivation in the manor has had a gratifying breakthrough; the speed of advancement depends on individual personalities and other factors!

For instance, some can endure solitude better, while others have more carefree spirits!

Of course, a more critical factor is that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, which is naturally expected!

For example, breaking through a minor realm in the Meridian Expansion Realm is significantly harder than in the Qi Refinement Realm!

As for the Kaiyuan Realm, the method of realm division itself is different and more profound, making it harder to break through compared to the Meridian Expansion Realm and Qi Refinement Realm!

However, the deeper one's understanding of martial arts at each progressive stage presents its advantages!

Seeing everyone in the manor achieve breakthroughs, Su Chen was genuinely pleased!

Even apart from Su Chen, the strength of those in the manor is almost on par with a decent first-class power now!

This is something probably no one in the Ancient Martial World would have expected!

Moreover, this way, even in Su Chen's absence, the people in the manor now possess some self-defense capabilities!

Perhaps after a while, Qian Ying wouldn't need to protect Lin Ruoxue as much as before!

During this period, besides occasionally visiting Belle Group and Rose Group, he sometimes would drop by at Tianxiang Villa or Yun Ya Residence, chatting with Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue.

If both women initially had other motives for getting close to Su Chen, after long-term contact, they are now purely attracted to him as a person!

So now Su Chen has become very good friends with them, including Dugu Mingyue!

Due to Su Chen, Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue also have more interactions than before!

Additionally, in this period, no one else came to trouble him. His days were filled and quite comfortable!

...

On this day, after ending his cultivation with nothing much to do, he decided to go out for a stroll!

However, it seemed all the ladies were cultivating, so naturally, he wouldn't disturb them. Just then, he noticed Qi Meng's room half-open, with a woman lying on the bed.

Observing from a distance, that elegant and graceful curve was fully in view!

Even though it was just the back, it was enough to make any man's heart itch with desire!

Su Chen's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he quietly walked over...

A moment later, the woman lying on the bed seemed to sense someone entering, so she instinctively tried to turn and see.

However, just as she moved, a body pressed down on her, startling her so much that the magazine in her hand fell to the floor!

"Little Mengmeng, what are you up to?"

Su Chen chuckled, his large hands mischievously and skillfully wandering over that graceful figure!

The woman on the bed visibly shivered!

"Su Chen, you..."

Just then, a figure appeared at the door, froze at the sight, and halted!

Hearing the noise, Su Chen naturally turned to look and was immediately startled, quickly rolling to the side!

Because the person who just came in was Qi Meng!

If that's Qi Meng, then who is the woman on the bed?!

He initially thought the person lying on the bed would be Qi Meng since it was her room!

But now it was clear that wasn't the case!

Su Chen carefully, with a trembling heart, peeked from the side again, and who else could it be but Pei Man?!

At this moment, Pei Man's stunning face was also crimson red, then she got off the bed, glancing at him with her beautiful eyes in exasperation!

She, too, never expected such a thing to happen!

She was just lying on the bed reading a magazine when someone suddenly pressed down on her, scaring her out of her wits!

As she was about to speak, the person had already started talking!

Upon hearing the voice, she naturally recognized that it was Su Chen!
