CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 191: STOP TORTURING ME!

"Hehe, father-in-law, no need to be polite."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Hahaha—"

At the mention of father-in-law, Ye Yilan laughed again.

In his whole life, aside from the matter with Gu Xiu, everything else went smoothly, and his luck was truly good.

With a good brother like Xuan Er and now a good son-in-law like Chen Xuan.

Satisfied!

"I’ve reached First Grade now, and I’m not thinking about anything else. I just want you to elevate my status soon; you and Jin Cen must work hard!"

"Uh—"

He’s already urging him to have children! Can’t stay serious for a moment.

...

In the study.

Only Xuan Er and Chen Xuan remained.

"Do you have something to discuss?" He knew his disciple too well; it was already dark, and he hadn’t returned to the Chen Mansion, deliberately sending away Ye Yilan, something was definitely up.

"Blood feast! Demon Race!"

Chen Xuan slowly said.

As expected, Xuan Er’s expression changed drastically, and the next moment, he asked in a deep voice: "Where did you learn about this?"

Then, Chen Xuan explained the matter with the White Fox in detail, though he didn’t mention the impending arrival of the Demon Race.

"I see!"

Xuan Er nodded slightly, he had just suspected whether he had discovered some ancient ruins like himself!

Unexpectedly, it was because of a demon beast.

So he didn’t hide it anymore and recalled the situation at the time.

"I don’t know the details either, just that the ancient war was actually a war between humans and demons, and the outcome is clear, the Human Race won, but it was almost as if they lost."

"All the ancient cultivators perished in battle! The legacy broke off!"

"As a result, it’s hard to even reach First Grade now! You have to know, Ancient times was a time when First Grade was commonplace."

"I don’t know if after so long, the Demon Race will descend again, if they appear again, then....."

The rest of the words he didn’t dare to say.

With such strength from ancient times, they barely managed to stop the Demon Race at the cost of total annihilation.

Now——

There’s truly no power to resist at all.

...

Late at night!

After the fierce battle, Chen Xuan did not immediately fall asleep.

Looking at the women on the round bed, perhaps because he learned about the existence of the Demon Race, he was particularly indulgent tonight!

He went at it vigorously.

He vented a bit, but still felt inexplicably restless in his heart.

Initially, he thought after reaching the Fifth Layer of Purity, his strength would allow him some leisure.

As long as he didn’t meddle between Great Xia and Great Zhou, it would be fine.

But now there’s the Demon Race, and from what the White Fox said, they should be arriving soon.

If the ancient times’ strength couldn’t stop the Demon Race, now there’s no chance at all.

Just thinking about it, he felt immense pressure.

"Sigh—"

He let out a long sigh.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Wanqiu woke up, or rather, she hadn’t slept at all, because she sensed something unusual about Chen Xuan today.

So even though she felt like her whole body was about to fall apart, she still hadn’t slept.

"No sleep huh, come here!" Chen Xuan smiled and beckoned her.

She obediently, without a shred of covering, stood up gingerly, got beside him, and snuggled into his arms.

Feeling the warmth of the lovely woman in his arms and smelling her fragrance, Chen Xuan’s heart settled down a lot at that moment.

"What’s wrong today? Is something making you unhappy?"

Su Wanqiu’s cheek pressed against his chest as she softly asked.

"What if one day I can’t protect you all?"

Chen Xuan held her tightly.

"Then we’ll be with you no matter what, as a family together, in life or death! That’s how it is!"

"Moreover—"

At this moment, Su Wanqiu lifted her head, looking at him affectionately, "Life now is already very good, I can’t imagine how much better it is than in Shuanggang Village, I wouldn’t have dared to dream of this in my whole life."

"So, I’m very satisfied!"

"I believe they also think the same way."

"No matter what happens, we sisters will be with you!"

Su Wanqiu spoke with firmness, and her eyes were full of Chen Xuan.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan laughed, hearing her words, his restless heart calmed down, and he leaned in close to her ear, "Thank you... sister-in-law!"

A call of sister-in-law!

The atmosphere turned amorous again.

Su Wanqiu also felt the heat in one place, "Then... sister-in-law will help you!"

"Whew—"

Couldn’t hold back!

This kind of temptation, who can resist, Su Wanqiu obediently slipped under the covers, and then—waves started to rise and fall.

...

A year had already passed in a flash.

In the side room.

Chen Xuan studied the panel before him.

[Name: Chen Xuan]

[Longevity: 21/1400]

[Famed Tools: Spring Water (50% skill point bonus), Flawless (50% reduction in cultivation technique and martial skill comprehension difficulty), Chimei, Snail, Cleverness]

[Divine Techniques: Evolution (Accomplished), Telepathy (Proficient), Divine Foot Technique (Perfected)]

[Talent: Concealment]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Six Layers (92000/256000))]

[Skills:

Eight Directions of the Dark Realm (Zhen Realm))

]

[Skill Points: 1007893]

It’s been a year!

Almost all cultivation techniques have been upgraded to the pinnacle level!

The only exception is the Myriad Manifestation Skill, which just evolved to the sixth layer a while ago, prompting me to comprehend it first.

Anyway, with over a million skill points now, I can upgrade it anytime I want.

However,

The most frustrating thing is the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm). I have attempted the evolution countless times, yet not once have I succeeded.

"Why exactly is this?"

At this moment, his brows are furrowed deeply. Could it be that the Primordial Realm is the ultimate limit?

Moreover, since breaking through to the Six Layers of Purity, the cultivation speed has once again plummeted. Without a new realm, reaching Seven Layers of Purity in less than ten years is impossible.

"Let’s try it once more!"

He then begins the evolution process again.

In the purple space, Chen Xuan’s gaze was fixed intensely on the golden figure.

"Is it possible now? After so many failures!"

He mumbled to himself.

But as he said this, he himself felt no confidence. The failures have been too numerous, leaving him numb.

"Boom!"

The purple space began to tremble, yet Chen Xuan’s expression remained unchanged.

In the past, any tremble signified possible success in evolution.

But this year, the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique made the space tremble every time, and every time it ended in failure, so he now feels no ripple of emotion.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan sensed something amiss.

Because this time, the tremble was stronger and lasted longer than usual.

"Could it be—"

At this moment, he became excited, watching the golden figure with anticipation for the first time.

Could this time be a success?

As the vibrations in the purple space grew increasingly intense, it felt as though it might shatter at any moment.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the next moment, the purple instantly transformed into an eerie red glow.

"This is—mutation!"

In all the evolutions, only during the Eerie Realm’s Eight Directions had such a situation occurred!

"Is it truly about to succeed?"

Chen Xuan trembled with excitement, feeling as if he might cry.

A year of countless evolutions!

Worried about the arrival of the Demon Race!

Yet unable to elevate his strength.

The heavens know how he survived this year.

An hour,

Two hours,

....

In the back hall.

"Why hasn’t my husband finished his cultivation today?"

It’s already dark, and several women are waiting for him to dine, as Chen Xuan usually finishes cultivation on time.

Su Yun, eyeing a table full of delicious food, swallowed saliva repeatedly.

But without Chen Xuan, no one could touch their chopsticks—this is the Chen Family’s rule, set by Su Wanqiu, and of course the other women also agree.

"Already at Third Grade, yet still so gluttonous!"

Su Wanqiu pokes her head with a chopstick.

"Hehe!"

The young girl grinned, even in the Third Grade, she dared not retort against this sister.

This year, several women’s strength has greatly improved, thanks to the resources gained by Chen Xuan’s eradication of demon beasts across the five states of Great Xia.

Su Yun broke through to Third Grade some days ago.

Ye Jincen and Ji Keren are both Tier Two Spirit Cultivators, even the weakest Su Wanqiu is pushed to the Fifth Grade due to medicinal pills.

The remaining women are Fourth Grade cultivators.

"Let’s eat first, Brother Xuan’s cultivation might have progressed, and he lost track of time!"

"Really?"

Su Yun thought she heard incorrectly.

"Eat if I say eat! Stop talking!" She gives her a stern look before taking a bite herself.

Following her lead, the young girl no longer holds back.

Devouring quickly.

"Delicious, delicious... Sister’s cooking skills are improving... ever better!"

Her mouth full, she flatters her sister!

Yet ending up hitting the wrong note, receiving a white-eye from Su Wanqiu in return.

"Hahaha..."

The others laughed at this sight.

"Sister, slow down, there’s plenty!" Ye Jincen kindly serves her several more pieces of meat.

The young girl nods repeatedly, but only after swallowing the meat does she speak up, "Sister Ye is still the best!"

...

One day! Chen Xuan still hasn’t emerged from the side chamber!

Two days!

....

Seven days passed in a blink, and the women began to worry but dared not enter the side chamber, fearing to disturb him.

"What should we do? It’s been seven days!"

Pei Yuenan worriedly questioned, and others felt the same.

"Why not ask Uncle Xuan to come over?"

Ye Jincen suggested.

"Alright, go now!"

Su Wanqiu felt that waiting like this was unwise, surely Uncle Xuan knew more than they did.

"Hmm!"

Ye Jincen nodded, then instantly flew towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, currently in should-be red space, felt numb. How long has this been going on, yet hasn’t concluded.

"Can you make it or not, if not, let’s just forget it! Stop torturing me!"

Such torment, seven days from initial excitement to later worry, fearful it might end in vain happiness.

Now, completely numb!

Too tormenting!

"Bang!"

Just as he complained, instantly he was kicked out.
