However, soon, he relaxed his brow and said lightly, "A true man can bend and stretch; this is nothing. As long as Su Bingyu is not willing, I can endure it!"
Then he continued, "Cheng Bo, don’t you think Chen Anlin is at a greater disadvantage?"
"Uh?? How so??" Cheng Bo was puzzled.
"Chen Anlin has gone to great lengths to teach Su Bingyu and nurture her. He is essentially helping me raise a wife. Once I deal with Chen Anlin, Su Bingyu will apply all that knowledge to me. Isn’t that wonderful? At that point, I’ll just need to enjoy the benefits. This is what you call reaping the rewards without sowing."
Cheng Bo frowned; logically, it made sense, but something about it felt off to him.
Ye Hao regained his confidence and smiled, "So, looking at it this way, I’m not only not at a loss but actually gaining."
Cheng Bo replied, "Well, as long as you’re happy. After all, she’s just an ordinary woman; she won’t hinder your future."
"But now we have completely offended Chen Anlin. The court will definitely issue a warrant for us. Shouldn’t we notify the capable members within our sect? We need to discuss the overall situation!"
Ye Hao nodded, "You’re right, Cheng Bo. Does Chen Anlin really think our Seeking Immortality Sect is easy to bully? He’ll soon realize the cost of offending us."
"However, for now, we must first deal with that traitor Zhou Bai! Betrayal must be punished!"
"Indeed."
Thus, the birthday banquet of the Su family came to an end. However, the court had also begun its pursuit of Ye Hao.
From Zhou Bai’s mouth, Chen Anlin had managed to clarify the organizational structure of the Seeking Immortality Sect and immediately entered the palace to meet the Empress. After all, although this sect was not large, it possessed a complete inheritance of cultivation techniques, which could not be overlooked.
Upon arriving at the palace, the Empress was in seclusion, so Eunuch Gu instructed him to wait in the back garden. While waiting, Chen Anlin took the opportunity to practice his cultivation.
As he arrived, he noticed a young girl playing in a pond. Chen Anlin was stunned; was this really that little girl Yu Xiaoling? She had grown so much that her presence felt as vast as a snow bun!
Brother Chen,
Upon seeing Chen Anlin, Yu Xiaoling's face lit up with excitement. Since coming here, her life had transformed into something she had never dared to imagine—living in luxury and having access to cultivation resources.
Yu Xiaoling wrapped her arms around Chen Anlin's, and he looked at the little fish spirit with exasperation. "Don't you know what it means for men and women to keep their distance? Xiaoling, you're not a child anymore!" He shot a stern glance at her collar.
"Brother Chen, didn't I say before that if you want it, I'm all yours? But do you still have any spirit stones?" She pouted with a pitiful expression. "Just one! If you give me one, I can... you know."
"Get away from me!" Chen Anlin exclaimed as he tossed Yu Xiaoling into the water, startling a group of fish spirits that scattered in all directions.
"Stinky Brother Chen! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Yu Xiaoling glared at him in frustration. She had thought that with her stunning figure now, Chen Anlin would no longer be indifferent like before. To her surprise, he remained unmoved. Sighing, she had hoped to trick him into giving her some spirit stones.
Chen Anlin sat down by the edge of the pool and began to meditate. As he cultivated, he absorbed the spiritual energy from above the water and replenished his energy reserves.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoling approached again, sulking. "Brother Chen, since you don't have any spirit stones, can I at least take a look at that energy pouch?"
"What for?" Chen Anlin glanced at her.
"I just want to absorb some spiritual energy," she replied.
"No way." Chen Anlin ignored her; refining spiritual energy into the pouch was already taxing enough.
"What do you want then? Seriously! I've told you I can do anything! I saw so many novels in His Majesty's collection—beast-human romances and ghostly love stories. Those men can have anyone they want! I refuse to believe you don't like me! You don't have to hold back; life is about loving boldly!" She insisted, desperate to sell herself for some benefits.
"You aren't even human," Chen Anlin shook his head.
"But don't you think that's intriguing?" Yu Xiaoling looked at him in disbelief. She simply couldn't understand why he wouldn't let her use the pouch for just a little while!
It only takes a moment for him to use her for a while; isn't this an equitable exchange?
Sigh, Yu Xiaoling, a girl shouldn't think like this. Chen Anlin felt helpless. He guessed that after Yu Xiaoling transformed into a human, she must have gone through something that made her believe her body could be exchanged for everything.
He needed to teach Yu Xiaoling that this behavior was inappropriate. Fortunately, at that moment, the Empress stepped out. Wu Xixue wore a purple pleated dress, and this time her delicate feet were adorned with a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes.
"I heard you accomplished something remarkable this time, almost capturing the young master of the Xunxian Sect," Wu Xixue asked.
"Unfortunately, that kid managed to escape," Chen Anlin replied with some regret.
"As for the Xunxian Sect, I have been secretly investigating them as well. Finally, I have found some clues about them," she continued.
"Your Majesty is also searching for them?"
"Yes, they should know the method to attain immortality, and their inheritance is more comprehensive than mine!" Wu Xixue explained. "However, since they have appeared this time, I have already arranged for people to investigate. You just need to wait for good news. If there is a method to attain immortality, I will take you along."
Is this the Empress's promise?
Chen Anlin felt incredibly touched. "Your Majesty, I recently made some small items that I think you would like."
With that, Chen Anlin took out a small wooden box.
