Chapter 80: Soft Grinding and Hard Soaking

After the battle with Lu Yun, Chen Chuan had completely established a firm foothold in the Primordial Holy Land.

Now, he was even being cultivated as the successor to the Holy Land, and his cultivation resources had increased significantly.

Chen Chuan was also well aware that by killing Lu Yun, the higher-ups of the Fengyun Holy Land would inevitably harbor a grudge against him.

With the strength of the Fengyun Holy Land, it would be effortless for them to take action against the Chen Family behind Chen Chuan.

In the face of a colossus like the Fengyun Holy Land, Chen Chuan was still far too weak.

Therefore, Chen Chuan asked Xuan Jingru to dispatch an Elder to Qingya City to secretly protect the Chen Family members.

As the Saint of the Primordial Holy Land and the future Holy Master, and with his terrifying talent and potential, the Primordial Holy Land placed high hopes in him.

Thus, Xuan Jingru had no objections to the request he proposed.

Inside the small courtyard, Chen Chuan controlled Spirit Fire to refine Medicinal Pills.

Now that his cultivation resources were abundant, as long as it helped his cultivation, the Primordial Holy Land would do its best to satisfy his needs.

After a few days, Chen Chuan had already refined many Grade Six Medicinal Pills, and even some Grade Seven ones.

Next, he intended to take these pills to an auction to obtain a large amount of gold tickets.

"Now that I’m at the True Domain Realm, every minor Realm increase requires five million gold tickets, while advancing to the Dao Seeking Realm requires two hundred million."

Chen Chuan looked at the pills inside the Pill Furnace before him, a smile on his face.

"Heh heh, as long as my strength keeps rising, making money is actually quite simple."

With his current True Domain Realm cultivation, refining Grade Seven Medicinal Pills posed no difficulty at all.

These refined pills would surely fetch a good price.

Chen Chuan believed his cultivation would soon advance to the Dao Seeking Realm, then the Fate-Executing Realm, and finally the Void Breaking Realm.

To the side, Ji Siyu’s beautiful eyes were constantly focused on Chen Chuan.

Although the two had reconciled, Ji Siyu and Chen Chuan did not live together.

However, she would come to find Chen Chuan every day, simply wanting to be with him.

She cherished every moment spent with Chen Chuan.

While Chen Chuan was performing Alchemy, Ji Siyu would Cultivate nearby.

Since she had obtained the Nirvana Scripture, her cultivation speed had also become very fast.

After returning to the Primordial Holy Land and through these days of cultivation, Ji Siyu’s cultivation had already reached the Fifth Level of the Furnace Realm.

Chen Chuan was naturally not surprised that Ji Siyu cultivated so quickly, because he knew how special she was.

He looked outside; night had already fallen.

"Husband, I’m going back now."

Seeing that it was late, Ji Siyu prepared to leave.

Seeing her about to leave, Chen Chuan immediately walked over and grabbed her hand.

He leaned close to Ji Siyu’s ear and whispered, "Siyu, stay and keep me company, alright?"

Hearing Chen Chuan’s request, Ji Siyu’s cheeks turned crimson, and her heart suddenly raced.

She naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Chuan’s words, but in her heart, she still wasn’t prepared.

"I... I’m not ready yet." Ji Siyu lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s hum. "I’m a little scared."

Inexperienced in the ways of the world, she still felt somewhat resistant to such intimate matters.

"Just stay and keep me company. I promise I won’t force you." Chen Chuan gazed at Ji Siyu with deep affection. "I just want to be with you and cherish every moment."

Looking at his stunningly beautiful wife before him, Chen Chuan’s heart was stirred.

Seeing Chen Chuan’s expectant gaze, Ji Siyu nodded slightly. "Mhm!"

Receiving her response, Chen Chuan was overjoyed.

After the two had dinner and finished washing up, they went to bed.

The night was filled with stars, and the moonlight stretched in through the window.

On the bed, Chen Chuan held Ji Siyu, feeling the softness of her graceful body.

Ji Siyu curled up in Chen Chuan’s arms; feeling that strange sensation, her cheeks grew burning hot and her body trembled slightly.

They could both feel each other’s heartbeats.

Chen Chuan leaned close to Ji Siyu’s ear and whispered, "Siyu, help me out, okay?"

Sensing the shortness of Chen Chuan’s breath and his suppressed desire, Ji Siyu understood what he was asking for.

"You said you wouldn’t force me." Ji Siyu’s voice was very small, carrying a hint of fear.

She was afraid of making Chen Chuan angry.

"I don’t mean that kind of request, don’t misunderstand," Chen Chuan replied.

Hearing this, Ji Siyu was confused. "Then... then how do you want me to help you?"

Chen Chuan whispered his request into Ji Siyu’s ear.

Upon hearing Chen Chuan’s request, Ji Siyu’s first reaction was to refuse.

Covering her bright red face with both hands, she shook her head repeatedly in shame, her voice sounding very resistant: "No!"

Chen Chuan put on a look of disappointment and said, "The beauty is right before my eyes but I can only look; it’s truly an ordeal."

"You can’t blame me for that; you were the one who asked me to stay and keep you company." Ji Siyu reached out and thumped Chen Chuan’s chest, saying in mock anger, "Don’t you dare blame me."

Chen Chuan said smugly, "Who told my wife to be such a peerless fairy? Never mind a man, even a woman would be moved."

Hearing Chen Chuan’s sweet words, Ji Siyu felt a sweetness in her heart, feeling very pleased.

But at the thought of Chen Chuan’s wicked request, she felt very embarrassed.

"Siyu, are you still on guard against me?" Chen Chuan’s voice sounded somewhat dejected.

Hearing this, Ji Siyu’s body trembled slightly, and her heart softened.

She fell silent.

Seeing her silence, Chen Chuan felt there was a chance.

"Siyu, please?" Chen Chuan said softly.

Ji Siyu still didn’t answer, but she didn’t refuse either.

At this moment, her heart was racing and her cheeks were burning hot, like a branding iron.

The night was hazy, and inside the room in the small courtyard, the atmosphere was ambiguous, filled with an indescribable feeling.

An unknown amount of time passed before Chen Chuan lay on the bed, looking at her with a successful, triumphant smile.

Seeing Chen Chuan’s wicked smile, Ji Siyu glared at him with her beautiful eyes, her silver teeth clenched as if she wanted to swallow him whole.

Ji Siyu’s cheeks were crimson; recalling the absurdity from just now, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Wife, it’s late, let’s sleep."

Chen Chuan patted the bed and winked at Ji Siyu.

With a red face, Ji Siyu lunged over and gave Chen Chuan’s shoulder a hard bite.

Chen Chuan cried out in pain and begged for mercy, saying he wouldn’t dare do it again.

In the end, Chen Chuan still pulled her into his arms and drifted off into a sweet dream.

When the next morning came, Ji Siyu quickly fled from the wolf’s den.

Watching Ji Siyu’s retreating figure as she fled in panic, a cunning smile appeared on Chen Chuan’s face.

He calculated the days and realized it was time to go to Tianyu City to collect gold tickets.

He had refined quite a few pills this time; taking them to auction should yield a good amount of gold tickets.

With a large amount of gold tickets, his cultivation could continue to rise.

Before leaving, Chen Chuan bid farewell to Ji Siyu, then left the Primordial Holy Land and headed toward Tianyu City.
