Chapter 125: I’m a Devoted Man, I Only Like Beautiful Women p2


    He returned to the Garden of Heavenly Harmony and found Bai Ruoxi in a nearby pavilion, her beauty serene and captivating.


    She sat amidst a lush garden, her white dress accentuating her ample bosom, a book in her hand, her long hair tied back with a jade hairpin, a few strands framing her face, giving her an air of effortless elegance.


    She was cold and aloof in public, but with him, she revealed her vulnerable side.


    With a bosom like that, can she even see the words…? He chuckled inwardly, then called out to her. “Ruoxi.”


    He brought two bowls of crane stew, placing them beside her.


    She looked up, her eyes brightening as she saw him, her gaze filled with affection, but she remained silent, maintaining her composure.


    Even after several cultivation sessions, she was still shy, especially in broad daylight. And she had been raised with strict etiquette.


    “What are you reading?” he asked, glancing at the book in her hand.


    She seemed startled, quickly hiding the book behind her back, her voice a forced laugh. “It’s just something to pass the time. Nothing important…”


    If it’s not important, why are you hiding it so carefully…? He studied her, his gaze lingering on the book, then he smiled. “If you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine. Try this stew. Yi Hao only has a few of these cranes, and he treasures them.”


    “We might not have another chance to enjoy this delicacy…”


    She nodded, discreetly placing the book in her storage ring, then she picked up a bowl and sipped the stew gracefully.


    He watched her, noticing something different about her.


    Her cheeks were flushed, her beauty even more captivating…


    It must be related to the book she was reading…


    But everyone had their secrets. He wouldn’t pry.


    He also enjoyed the stew, savoring the luxurious lunch.


    After they finished eating, he sat beside her, and they shared a few intimate moments, then she spoke, her voice filled with excitement. “I think I’m about to break through to the second level of Core Formation!”


    She looked at him, her eyes sparkling, as if waiting for his praise…


    “You’re amazing, Ruoxi,” he said, his voice filled with mock admiration.


    She smiled, her expression softening, then she lifted her chin slightly, feigning indifference.


    “It’s nothing special…”


    Still trying to act cool… He playfully slapped her hip.


    She gasped, glaring at him, her voice a soft complaint. “What was that for~?”


    She seemed angry, but her blush betrayed her shyness…


    He chuckled, not responding.


    Even at the second level of Core Formation, he could still handle her…


    “But is it wise to break through now?” she asked, her voice laced with a sudden concern.


    The Third Prince had just caused a commotion. If her cultivation increased, she might release more demonic aura.


    “Don’t worry. Ling Long is here. Do you think anyone would suspect you…?” he said, smiling.


    It was just like he had said before.


    The boy who cried wolf, no one believed him the second time…


    She nodded, glancing at his hand, which was wandering towards her waist, her voice a mixture of shyness and exasperation. “…Let go… I need to focus on my breakthrough and the tribulation…”


    He reluctantly removed his hand.


    She’s too shy… He couldn’t explore other activities…


    It would be a different experience to be intimate in the garden…


    He looked at her, her beauty captivating, a flicker of regret in his eyes.


    Storm clouds gathered in the sky, and he looked up to see Wei Mengrou standing beneath them, her sword strapped to her back, her figure a vision of power and grace…


    Mengrou has broken through as well…


    He felt a surge of external spiritual energy entering his Vessel, its quality exceptional, almost as potent as the energy he received from dual cultivating with Bai Ruoxi.


    He was about to reach the sixth level of Foundation Establishment!


    The Eight Treasures Crane, a treasure that could only benefit a cultivator once… He exchanged a glance with Bai Ruoxi, then they both retreated to their rooms to prepare for their breakthroughs.


    The next morning, at the library, the neutral faction of the Two Polarities Sect, a place visited by nearly every disciple, seeking knowledge and techniques, Yan Ruyu sat on the ninth floor, her alluring figure accentuated by her thin robe, reading a report from one of her informants.


    The report detailed the Third Prince’s actions at the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.


    It was a factual account, devoid of any personal opinions…


    It was an informant’s duty to provide unbiased information. Their personal views would only cloud their master’s judgment.


    Yan Ruyu would make her own decisions.


    She frowned as she read the report, her thoughts racing.


    The Third Prince was related to the vice peak lord of Metamorphic Jewel Peak. He had borrowed the Demon Measuring Ruler from Ning Shuwen, and it had even detected demonic aura in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.


    But Ning Shuwen had retreated shortly after arriving.


    Then the three peak lords had also visited the pavilion, only to leave soon after…


    If there truly was a demonic cultivator, why would they have given up…?


    But if there wasn’t… why had the ruler reacted…?


    She pondered for a moment, then began to write.


    She folded the letter, handing it to an informant, smiling.


    “Deliver this to the Garden of Heavenly Harmony. Don’t let anyone notice you…”


    At the Jade Glass Palace, in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, Mu Zhi’an opened his eyes, feeling the surge of spiritual energy within his Vessel, his mind clear and refreshed.


    It’s a shame the Eight Treasures Crane only works once… Otherwise, I could eat one every day and reach Core Formation in no time… He sighed, a flicker of regret in his eyes.


    He opened the door, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his skin, then glanced at Wei Mengrou, who was standing in the courtyard, lost in thought. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Has Mengrou grown again…? He discreetly observed her, his gaze lingering on her bosom, which seemed even more ample than before.


    She seemed to sense his gaze, turning to look at him, her expression flat. “What are you looking at?”


    He chuckled, unfazed. “Did you reach the sixth level of Core Formation yesterday, Mengrou?”


    She nodded, then, after a moment of hesitation, murmured, “Thank you.”


    He smiled. “If you truly want to thank me, how about offering yourself…?”


    She glared at him, her voice cold. “Get lost.”


    He chuckled.


    That’s more like it…


    If she suddenly became gentle and affectionate, it would be unsettling…


    He was used to her coldness.


    She suddenly looked up, noticing an informant approaching discreetly.


    The informant, their face veiled, entered the pavilion and bowed respectfully, handing Mu Zhi’an an invitation.


    “Master Yan invites you to the library, Young Master Mu.”


    He took the invitation, opening it and scanning the contents, a smile playing on his lips.


    The inner disciple selections were in two days, but it seemed the competition had already begun…
