37: Chapter 37 Yan Ling Ji Breaks Through to Half-Sainthood! But is such a cry even possible?

Inside the secret chamber, heat waves rolled.

The golden Emperor Flames gradually extinguished, and a strange, faint fragrance permeated the air. It was the unique scent produced after the Fusion of the Innate Dao Physique and the top-grade divine medicine; just one whiff made one's pores expand.

Yan Lingji sat cross-legged on the white jade bed. Following Lu Chen's instructions, she began to refine the good things Lu Chen had left inside her, feeling the terrifying medicinal power within her body.

The Half-Saint Bottleneck that had blocked her for hundreds of years was easily broken through.

The momentum did not even slow down, and her cultivation climbed all the way up.

Saint Realm Early Stage... Saint Realm Middle Stage!

In the end, her cultivation steadily stopped at the Saint Middle Stage.

One step to the heavens, becoming a Saint on the spot!

Moreover, because she had fused with that wisp of Lu Chen's Great Emperor Origin fire, her Physique had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering mutation. Red Lotus Karmic Fire Physique!

"Is this what it feels like to be alive?"

Yan Lingji looked down at her own crystalline, holy jade hands, feeling that robust spiritual power, and her eyes instantly turned red. This was a true rebirth, even a hundred times stronger than she was at the Peak of her previous life!

Plop. Without any hesitation, Yan Lingji knelt on both knees, performing a full kowtow to the black-robed man standing before her, who was currently rubbing his temples.

There was no longer any playfulness or teasing on her Face, only reverence and fanaticism.

"Yan Lingji kowtows to thank Revered Master for the grace of rebirth!"

"From now on, Yan Lingji's life, this body, and even my Divine Soul, all belong to Revered Master! I shall go through fire and water, and will not refuse even death!"

Previously, she had attached herself to Lu Chen because she valued his identity as a Great Emperor. But now, in her eyes, Lu Chen was like a god, the creator who had bestowed upon her a new life!

Lu Chen glanced at her and waved his hand, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Alright, stop kneeling. I don't go in for that sort of thing."

Lu Chen pointed at her knees: "Also, kneel less in the future. This body is made from my Materials; it's very delicate. If you break it, I'll have to fix it."

Yan Lingji looked up, water shimmering in her crimson-gold eyes. Instead of getting up, she knelt-walked forward two steps, hugged Lu Chen's lower leg, and rubbed her cheek against his hem, acting coquettishly.

"Does Revered Master dislike this servant kneeling?"

Yan Lingji extended her rosy tongue tip and licked her lips, her gaze extremely bold and explicit: "Then should this servant lie down? Or crawl?"

"Stop!" Had this woman just started letting herself go the moment she got a body? Was that kind of sound even possible to make?

"Put that act away."

Lu Chen tapped her smooth forehead with one finger, pushing her away: "You are a Saint now; can you have a bit of a powerhouse's demeanor? If outsiders saw a dignified Saint just crawling like this, wouldn't I lose Face?"

"In front of outsiders, naturally I am a Saint." Yan Lingji stood up smoothly, her posture instantly becoming upright, and an Aura of a queen looking down upon the world emerged spontaneously. But the next second, she winked at Lu Chen, full of charm: "But in front of Revered Master, this servant only wants to be an obedient person."

Lu Chen: "..." This enchantress, her level is too high, older than me. I'm afraid life on this Xiaoyao Peak will be hard to keep peaceful from now on.

"Let's go." Lu Chen straightened his robes, and after ensuring there were no wrinkles, his expression turned serious: "There are a few people waiting outside; it is time to go out."

"Yes, Revered Master." Yan Lingji obediently followed half a step behind him, even thoughtfully helping Lu Chen smooth out his long hair on his back, looking just like a devoted personal maid.

Rumble—the heavy Dragon-severing stone door slowly rose. Sunlight spilled back into the dark passage.

Lu Chen walked out with his hands behind his back. His Face was slightly pale—the exhaustion of mental exertion—and his eyes, as usual, carried a hint of weariness.

And behind him followed a woman dressed in a flowing red-fire dress, her red hair like a waterfall, beautiful in a heart-stopping way. Her complexion was rosy, she was glowing with health, and a satisfied smile hung on the corners of her lips.

This state of one in front and one behind, one exhausted and one replenished, instantly stunned everyone waiting outside the door.

Outside the door, Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi, who had been preparing to demand an explanation, froze. Leng Qingqiu, who was hugging her Emperor Sword and looking aggrieved, was dumbfounded. Even Mo Wentian, who was pressed against the wall, was shocked.

Everyone's gaze swept back and forth between Lu Chen and Yan Lingji. Especially seeing Yan Lingji's appearance, her alluring posture, and that flushed expression of someone who had just been nourished... Did this need explaining? This couldn't be explained at all!

"Heh." A cold laugh broke the silence. The poor folding fan in Wei Hongyu's hand finally met its end, turning into a pile of Trash. She walked forward with a proud gait, her gaze scraping over Yan Lingji before finally landing on Lu Chen's Face.

"Great Emperor Lu, you have refined tastes." Wei Hongyu said through gritted teeth: "The sounds inside just now were truly... varied and rhythmic, high-pitched and resonant."

"Retreating for half a day to comprehend the Dao?"

"I think it was to comprehend the 'body' Dao of this vixen, right?"

Yao Xi was not to be outdone; her hand caressing the spirit fox was trembling, and she smiled without warmth: "Fellow Daoist Lu is truly a man of passion. But I am just curious, how could a living person appear out of thin air in a secret chamber in Yunxiao Holy Land?"

"And..." Yao Xi narrowed her eyes, her Saint Divine Sense sweeping over Yan Lingji: "And a Saint who just broke through?"

"Is that kind of sound during a Breakthrough really something that can be made from proper Cultivation? Fellow Daoist Lu?"

The pressure from the two wealthy women came rushing at him. Lu Chen remained expressionless, but inside, he had already begun to calculate how to explain.

Just at this moment, Yan Lingji, standing behind Lu Chen, moved. She was not intimidated by the Aura of these two powerhouses; instead, she moved with graceful steps. Intentionally or unintentionally, she displayed her towering breasts. Subsequently, she revealed a perfect, standard, yet three-part provocative smile toward Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi.

"Two sisters have misunderstood." Yan Lingji's voice was soft and heart-melting: "Revered Master was indeed helping me reshape my body. Although the process was a bit painful, the effect was excellent."

Having said that, she also deliberately let out a soft breath, and using a look that only women would understand, she looked Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi up and down. That look clearly said: You two aren't good enough; I have Revered Master's affection.

Boom! Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi could no longer hold back. Killing Intent! Killing Intent, solidified into substance, erupted at the entrance of the main hall!

Lu Chen only felt his arm tighten, and his scalp tingle. This damn enchantress! Do you think I don't have enough chaos already!

"Shut up!" Lu Chen gave a low shout, then looked at the two wealthy women who were about to go berserk, and spoke nonsense with a straight Face: "Let me introduce her."

"This is my newly refined Advanced humanoid doll."

"No, that's wrong, she is a resurrected Saint housekeeper."

Lu Chen pointed at Yan Lingji, his eyes extremely firm: "A housekeeper specifically resurrected to take care of my daily life."

Yan Lingji let go of his hand, and the charm on her Face instantly vanished. Boom! A burst of Red Lotus Karmic Fire erupted from her body, condensing into a huge flaming red lotus behind her. The pressure of the Saint Realm Middle Stage was released without reservation. The surrounding space was distorted by the high temperature, and even the Protective Aura of Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi was forced to sizzle.

"This is my masterpiece." Lu Chen said with his hands behind his back, in a bragging tone: "Very loyal, powerful, and durable."

Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi watched this scene, their pupils slightly constricting. Such an obedient and beautiful housekeeper—did this Lu Chen really only have her keep watch at night?

"Hmph." Wei Hongyu took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and jealousy in her heart. She was a smart person and knew that if she kept pestering him, she wouldn't get any answers.

Wei Hongyu rolled her eyes, and a mischievous smile suddenly curled at the corners of her lips: "Lu Chen, is this housekeeper for sale? I'll offer one billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Lu Chen was taken aback: "Not for sale."

"Then lend her to me to play with for two days?" Wei Hongyu pressed closer: "It just so happens I am also missing a maid to warm the bed."

"Not lending her either." Lu Chen refused very decisively.

"Stingy." Wei Hongyu rolled her eyes, but the hostility in her eyes clearly dissipated quite a bit. Since she was a servant, she wasn't a competitor. At least, not in terms of status.

However, Leng Qingqiu, standing in the corner, stared fixedly at Yan Lingji. A woman's intuition told her that this person was dangerous and would steal her Revered Master away. That woman's gaze, the way she looked at Revered Master, was a look that wanted to eat him up!

"Revered Master..." Leng Qingqiu walked forward hugging her sword, her voice low and hoarse: "The Zi hour has passed, are you still going to preach the Dao?"

Lu Chen looked at his eldest disciple's resentful little gaze and didn't know what to say for a moment. This wasn't preaching the Dao; this was going to appease her.

"Preach! Of course I will preach!" Lu Chen waved his hand, looking righteous and stern: "As a Revered Master, I never break my word! Let's go, back to the room!"

Having said that, Lu Chen pulled Leng Qingqiu and walked inside as if fleeing. As he passed by Yan Lingji, he whispered a sound transmission: "Watch the door for me! Do not let anyone in! Especially those two!"

Yan Lingji looked up slightly, watching Lu Chen's departing back. "Yes, Revered Master." She murmured softly.

Subsequently, she slowly stood up and blocked the path in front of Wei Hongyu and Yao Xi. On that Face, she once again wore that professional fake smile that made people hate her to the teeth. "Two guests, Revered Master is about to preach the Dao and teach."

"Idle people, do not enter, oh."
