Chapter 147
She looked down, expecting to see her toes, but instead, she saw a bit of red.
“Ah!” Zhan Lingshuang let out a sharp scream and quickly turned around. “Chen’er, you are not allowed to look! Close your eyes immediately!”
As she spoke, she hurriedly retrieved a robe from her storage and draped it over herself. Despite being a powerful Void Refinement realm cultivator with a heart as steadfast as iron, Zhan Lingshuang couldn’t help but feel her heart racing. Her usually fair face now blushed deeply with embarrassment.
Just now, in front of Chen’er, she had been completely naked, and worse, she hadn’t realized it for such a long time!
This is awful!
Not only had Chen’er caught a glimpse of her body earlier using his Golden Dragon Eyes, but now he had also stared at her openly for quite some time. How could she, as a master, maintain her dignity in front of her rebellious disciple after this?
Zhan Lingshuang was inwardly fuming as she prepared to give Yang Chen a stern warning. But when she turned back, Yang Chen was nowhere to be found.
“He ran away? Rebellious disciple, at least you have some sense of decency!” Zhan Lingshuang exhaled a sigh of relief.
Yang Chen had swiftly fled from the magma world, knowing full well that the scene earlier would be a blow to his master’s pride. Disappearing without a word would at least leave her some dignity. However, a lingering thought crossed his mind: Master really is so fair …
Outside, on the surface, the Fourth Elder rushed forward upon seeing Yang Chen.
“Holy Son, how is the Sect Master?”
“Master has successfully refined the Profound Deep Cold Flame and is absorbing the remaining energy. She’ll be out soon,” Yang Chen explained, then asked, “Fourth Elder, did you sense any unfamiliar presence emerging from underground just now?”
“Unfamiliar presence? No, nothing like that,” the Fourth Elder responded with certainty. “My spiritual sense has been covering several miles around, and I detected no one. Only the Feng family’s Patriarch and a few elders came by earlier, but they’ve already left.”
“I see,” Yang Chen muttered, feeling puzzled. After his master had absorbed all of the Profound Deep Cold Flame, he had scanned the magma world with his Golden Dragon Eyes but couldn’t find any trace of the Empress Yan. She wasn’t on the surface either. Could it be that she had already left before his master had absorbed the flame?
Forget it, no point worrying about her now. It was better that she had left; otherwise, if his master found her, another battle would surely ensue.
Sensing that Zhan Lingshuang’s aura was about to emerge from the ground, Yang Chen immediately flew up.
“Sect Master!” The Fourth Elder greeted her as Zhan Lingshuang surfaced, “Congratulations on refining the Profound Deep Cold Flame! By the way, the Holy Son suddenly left in a hurry earlier. Is something happening in Ice and Snow city?”
At this, Zhan Lingshuang pursed her lips. Ice and Snow city? There’s nothing happening there! It was clear Chen’er had rushed off to avoid her. Just thinking about the scene from earlier made her blush again.
“Sect Master, the Feng family’s City Lord also came by earlier, inquiring about you,” the Fourth Elder continued. “You were old acquaintances, after all. Shall we head to Ice and Snow city now?”
Zhan Lingshuang frowned slightly. While she did want to take her rebellious disciple away from Feng Yuwan, that old woman, it would be better to wait a few days. She needed time for the turmoil in her heart to settle. She also needed to regain her composure as a master. After all … sigh …
“Xue’er, take me to your clan deep in the Falling Snow Mountains,” Zhan Lingshuang decided.
At the Feng family’s City Lord’s Mansion …
“Brother Chen, did your master return to Xuantian Sect?” Feng Yuwan eagerly asked as she approached Yang Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
“No,” Yang Chen shook his head.
“Ah …” Feng Yuwan scanned the area, her disappointment evident on her face. She pouted and playfully slapped Yang Chen’s chest. “This is all your fault! You insisted on doing that! And your master saw us! How am I supposed to face her from now on?”
Yang Chen pulled her into his arms and teased, “Just face her openly! After all, we’re Dao companions. Doing such things is normal. Besides, you’re already pregnant. I’m just looking out for our child!”
“You’re so annoying!” Feng Yuwan playfully scolded him, though her gaze was filled with affection. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she leaned closer.
Yang Chen held her tighter, feeling her soft figure against him. But his mind drifted back to the scene in the magma world. The sight of his master’s fair and graceful figure flashed in his mind, causing his blood to stir.
Unable to help himself, Yang Chen whispered softly into Feng Yuwan’s ear, “Yuwan …”
Meanwhile, in Long Tianyu’s residence …
A red symbol shot through the sky and landed in front of Long Tianyu.
“The Crimson Dragon Sigil! A message from my father!” Long Tianyu’s previously gloomy expression was replaced with excitement. Forming a unique hand seal, he caught the sigil, which opened to reveal a large, imposing figure.
“Tianyu, I’ll be arriving soon! When the family underwent a crisis years ago, I sent you to the Northern Spiritual Realm for your safety. For these past twenty years, you have suffered.”
Seeing the familiar figure and face of his father, Long Tianyu felt his nose tingle. It had been twenty years. For twenty years, he had endured countless humiliations. He had been forced to marry into the Feng family, where he had lived as a son-in-law. He once harbored fantasies about his proud mother-in-law, Feng Yuwan, but now that wretched woman was pregnant with that bastard Yang Chen’s child!
His proud mother-in-law! Pregnant with someone else’s child!
Just thinking about it made his blood boil with rage and sorrow. The weight of twenty years of humiliation surged up within him, filling his heart with a burning sense of injustice.
