Chapter 129 - 95: Condensing Blood Seal, Half-Step Sensing Profound

Ji Xiaolu trusted Xu Guang deeply. Resting her head against his shoulder, she said, "You’re amazing, Husband."

Xu Guang burst into hearty laughter.

The Bifeng Group masquerading as the Righteous Faction didn’t come looking for trouble, so Xu Guang released a Messenger Owl to instruct Wang Ming to bring the disciples back.

"Rest assured, Miss Zhao. Our Erlang has a very good temper. He won’t make things difficult for you."

Inside the carriage, Xu Chun held Zhao Ning’s hand with one of hers, speaking with utmost affection. It had to be said that the cosmetics from Zhao Ning’s family were incredibly effective. After applying them, Xu Chun looked several years younger, which made her fondness for Zhao Ning skyrocket.

Wang Ming sat opposite the two women. Listening to Xu Chun’s words, his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He wondered if Erlang actually had a good temper. Thinking back to the highwaymen and Water Bandits Xu Guang had slaughtered along the journey, he remembered how simply killing them hadn’t been enough. Xu Guang had gone straight to their strongholds to wipe everyone out, looking as though he was ready to salt the earth and leave absolutely nothing behind. Wang Ming couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Thank you, Sister Xu." Zhao Ning held a wooden box in her arms as if it were a precious treasure. She was slightly unaccustomed to such intimacy. After all, both Xu Chun’s husband and brother were Martial Artists.

When Xu Guang finally saw Zhao Ning, even he couldn’t help but be struck by her beauty. She had clearly dressed up for the occasion. With her long legs, slender waist, and full chest, she wore a long off-the-shoulder dress complemented by a long fox fur shawl draped around her neck. She looked alluring but not vulgar, exuding a sweet and intoxicating feminine charm.

"I heard from my brother-in-law that you came here because you had something to discuss with me, Miss Zhao. May I know what it is?"

Zhao Ning cast a meaningful glance at the other people in the room.

"These are all Xu’s family members, Miss Zhao. You may speak freely."

Hearing Xu Guang say this, Zhao Ning no longer held back. She knew that Wang Ming had clashed with Lei Laohu because of her family’s troubles. To avoid being abandoned by Xu Guang, she decided to reveal her family’s secret.

"Has Master Xu ever heard of a Different Dimension Space?"

Xu Guang’s eyes suddenly snapped wide open, a burning intensity flashing within them. "Miss Zhao..."

He wondered if the Different Dimension Space she mentioned could actually be a Profound Cave.

Zhao Ning gave a firm nod. "Master Xu, you may know that the cosmetics and rouge business is fiercely competitive and easily squeezed by rivals. The reason my family’s cosmetics business has endured for so long is that when my grandfather was young, he entered a wondrous space and obtained a Fragrance-Seeking Insect. Over the years, no matter what methods we tried, we’ve been unable to breed the Fragrance-Seeking Insect. Now, it is incredibly old and dying..."

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes. "So, you are going to tell me the location of that mysterious treasure land, Miss Zhao, and in return, I am to help you retrieve another Fragrance-Seeking Insect?"

A flash of panic crossed Zhao Ning’s eyes, and she nodded with a hint of shame. "Exactly."

Xu Guang fell into deep thought.

"I accept, but not at this moment. Xu still has some other matters to attend to."

Zhao Ning nodded repeatedly and took out a wooden box from the carriage. "This is a map recording the location of that treasure land. Master Xu can go whenever you have the time."

After seeing Zhao Ning off, Xu Guang opened the wooden chest she had left behind. It was entirely filled with Gold! The wooden chest wasn’t large, but Gold was extremely dense. An entire chest of Gold weighed nearly three hundred pounds—amounting to over three thousand taels!

He marveled at her incredible generosity. Even after slaughtering Mountain Bandits back in Feiyun City, Xu Guang had only managed to accumulate roughly this much wealth.

"Ning’Er, how much money did you give that Xu Yixuan?" Lin He arrived the moment Zhao Ning returned home.

Zhao Ning held up three fingers.

"300 taels? That isn’t too much. It seems the Yixuan Martial Arts Hall isn’t that greedy," Lin He said, patting her full chest.

Zhao Ning shook her head. "It was three thousand taels of Gold. I gave him all the Gold our family had saved."

"What!" Lin He couldn’t help but cry out in shock. "Are you crazy? With that much money, you could have barely managed to seek the protection of an Inner Sect Disciple from Jingshou Hall! Why on earth would you go to some rural Martial Arts Hall?"

Lin He completely failed to understand the logic. She felt her best friend had lost her mind.

Zhao Ning gently shook her head. "No, I believe Xu Yixuan can be trusted. That money isn’t just a fee; it’s an investment."

Lin He grew even more bewildered, but ultimately, she could only let out a heavy sigh. The money had already been given away, and there was no way she could ask for it back. After all, she was merely a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist.

That night.

Xu Guang held Ji Xiaolu in his arms and shared a piece of good news with her.

"Really! My older brother is still alive?" Ji Xiaolu cheered with joy, her full breasts rubbing against Xu Guang’s shoulder, stirring his desires.

Ji Xiaolu’s older brother was named Ji Chongming. Before going into seclusion, Xu Guang had searched for his whereabouts, and the Searcher had already produced a result by the time he came out. To his surprise, Ji Chongming was currently right here in You State!

"Yes, there’s news. I’ll take you to find your brother tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaolu grew even more affectionate, wrapping her soft arms tightly around Xu Guang. Soon, the man and woman were locked in a passionate embrace, tumbling together on the bed.

Looking at the panting Ji Xiaolu, Xu Guang felt a bit helpless and couldn’t help but ask, "Lu, you’re the ’River God’ now. How are you still so weak?"

Ji Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him. "My title as River God is just for show. There’s far too little Divine Power in the Divine Seal. Who could possibly withstand a brute like you?"

Xu Guang chuckled mischievously.

He wondered what exact effects this Divine Seal possessed. So far, the only abilities Ji Xiaolu had displayed were controlling the Wei River to stir up minor waves and absorbing the Essence of Life from the Profound World across realms. She possessed absolutely none of the true capabilities of a ’God’.

Early the next morning, with Song Tao acting as the driver, the carriage slowly rolled through the main and side streets of Xiaohe Village. All the pedestrians they encountered along the way hurriedly stepped aside to make room.

People always liked to pay attention to high-and-mighty figures, using the opportunity to show off their worldly knowledge. When the Yixuan Martial Arts Hall Master traveled by carriage, they naturally recognized him.

Meanwhile, at their destination, the silver-haired youth Lin Xiu was currently staring at a map on the table with a deeply serious expression.
