533: Zhou Ruobing fulfilled her promise

After dealing with the Li family, Yang Lingchen flew towards the Princesss Mansion.

Since he had arrived at the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, he naturally wanted to visit Zhou Ruobing; after all, the other party had yet to fulfill her promise.

Ninth Princess Mansion.

At this moment, Zhou Ruobing was soaking in a medicinal bath within her palace. She lay quietly in the bathing pool with her eyes slightly closed.

The warm medicinal water emitted curling wisps of heat, surrounding her graceful figure.

Her snow-white, jade-like hands stroked her body, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.

"Yang Lingchen, you scoundrel, do you still remember me?" Zhou Ruobing muttered to herself, her tone tinged with a hint of grievance.

The voice sounded exceptionally clear in the silent space, as if carrying endless longing and resentment.

"Princess Ruobing, did you miss me?"

Just then, Yang Lingchen's seductive voice came from the rafters of Zhou Ruobing's room.

He had originally wanted to give Zhou Ruobing a surprise, but he hadn't expected to encounter her taking a medicinal bath.

This caught him a bit off guard, but since he had already been discovered, he didn't intend to hide any longer.

"Ah... Ah...! Yang Lingchen, how did you get in?"

Zhou Ruobing, who had been enjoying herself with her eyes closed, was startled by Yang Lingchen's sudden voice.

Her eyes snapped open, filled with panic and shyness. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and covered her sexy, delicate body.

"Sister Bing, you haven't answered me yet?"

Yang Lingchen smiled wickedly as his figure slowly descended from the rafters. His movements were light and elegant, like a falling feather.

"As if I'd miss you." Zhou Ruobing's pretty face flushed, and she chided, "scoundrel, get out!"

Her voice carried a hint of coquettish scolding, but it was mostly shyness and nervousness.

"Then why were you muttering my name just now?" Yang Lingchen laughed, his eyes full of teasing.

He walked step by step toward the edge of the bathing pool, showing no intention of leaving.

"Who was muttering your name? Nonsense!"

Zhou Ruobing pouted, her face turning slightly red.

Her gaze darted away, not daring to meet Yang Lingchen's burning eyes.

"Fine... fine... fine, if you didn't, you didn't! I happen to be a bit dirty, so I'll just take a bath here too!"

Yang Lingchen smiled slightly and reached out to tug at his belt. Immediately, his clothes slowly slid off, revealing his well-defined muscles.

His physique was sturdy, his muscles tight and full of power.

"Bastard, who wants to bathe with you?"

Zhou Ruobing's face flushed red, and she hurriedly closed her eyes.

She hadn't expected Yang Lingchen to be so direct, stripping without even saying hello.

At this moment, her heart raced, and her breathing became rapid.

"If you won't bathe with me, do you want to bathe with someone else?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled, jumped directly into the bathing pool, and pulled Zhou Ruobing into his arms.

The pool water splashed high, wetting the surrounding ground.

"Bastard, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ruobing exclaimed, trying to break free from Yang Lingchen's embrace, but Yang Lingchen's strength was too great; she couldn't break free at all.

"What do you think?" Yang Lingchen hooked the corner of his mouth into an evil smile and said, "Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

His voice was low and magnetic, echoing in Zhou Ruobing's ear.

"Can we do it another day?" Zhou Ruobing's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said weakly, "I'm not ready yet."

Although she had feelings for Yang Lingchen, she was a first-timer after all, so she was still a bit nervous and scared.

"Sister Bing, are you willing to be my woman?"

Yang Lingchen gazed affectionately at Zhou Ruobing, his hands gently holding her slender waist.

His eyes were filled with sincerity and anticipation, as if Zhou Ruobing were his entire world.

"I am willing."

Looking at Yang Lingchen's affectionate gaze, Zhou Ruobing nodded gently and then leaned into his arms.

At this moment, she didn't want to suppress her inner feelings any longer.

She knew that she had fallen deeply in love with this man and was willing to give everything for him.

At this very moment, the two embraced tightly.

Yang Lingchen gently kissed Zhou Ruobing's lips, enjoying this extremely warm moment. Their heartbeats intertwined, as if time had frozen at this moment.

In the days that followed, Yang Lingchen kept Cultivating within the haotian jade space.

Inside the haotian jade space, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost materialized. Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged in the midst of it, his body shimmering with light as he continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi and converted it into his own strength. Every session of Cultivating allowed his strength to improve slightly.

When he was free, he would exchange insights on Cultivating with Dong Xuanji, Zhou Ruobing, and Nie Xiaoyu.

In the garden of the Princesss Mansion, the four sat together, and a gentle breeze blew by, bringing waves of floral fragrance.

"Lingchen, I encountered a Bottleneck while Cultivating recently; I always feel the flow of Spiritual Qi is obstructed." Dong Xuanji frowned slightly, voicing her trouble.

Yang Lingchen pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Sister Xuanji, why don't you try adjusting the rhythm of your Cultivating? First, slow down the flow of Spiritual Qi and carefully feel the changes in every Acupoint."

Nie Xiaoyu also added, "I think we can try some special Cultivation Techniques; perhaps that might lead to a Breakthrough."

Zhou Ruobing listened quietly from the side, occasionally offering her own insights.

Additionally, the armies of Heartless Valley and Eastern Emperor Pavilion had returned to their respective territories.

The Disciples of both Sects returned to their normal Cultivating and life, and everything returned to its former peace.

"Lingchen, Chenyang is here and is now at the Great Zhou City Alchemist Guild. I'm going to pick him up." Dong Xuanji said. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and joy.

"Sister Xuanji, I'll go with you! After all, I am his father now." Yang Lingchen chuckled, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Mm-hmm..." Dong Xuanji nodded gently.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen and Dong Xuanji left the Princesss Mansion. They walked side by side, the sunlight shining on them, casting two long shadows.

Today, the entire Eastern Province was basically under his control, and even some high-ranking members of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had been implanted with the Slave Seal. His power was at its zenith, but Yang Lingchen was not arrogant or complacent because of this.

The only thing that worried Yang Lingchen was that people from the Desolate Ancient Central Continent were about to arrive. When that time came, he would likely have to embark on a path of fleeing again.

The Desolate Ancient Central Continent was a mysterious and powerful place with many experts and strong individuals. But Yang Lingchen was not intimidated by this unknown fear.

However, regarding the path ahead, Yang Lingchen was not overly worried. Since he had embarked on this Heaven-Defying path, how could he reach the Peak without any storms?

He knew deeply that only by constantly challenging himself could he survive in this cruel world of Cultivating.

Great Zhou City, Alchemist Guild.

"Senior Brother Dong, why are you here?" Asked a young girl wearing a floral dress, with icy skin and a petite, exquisite figure. Her eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

This petite, exquisite girl was Liu Mo'er, the granddaughter of the president of the Great Zhou City Alchemist Guild.

"I came here to find my mother. Before leaving the Sect, I heard that you had returned to the Great Zhou City Alchemist Guild, so I stopped by to see you on the way."

Dong Chenyang said. His face carried a faint smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of concern.

"Senior Brother Dong, it's good that you are okay. I have been worried about you during this time."

Liu Mo'er's face showed a hint of concern. Her gaze scanned Dong Chenyang up and down, as if confirming whether he was truly safe and sound.

"Don't worry! There won't be any trouble in the future."

Dong Chenyang said.

During this time, he had been hiding here and there, and he felt very resentful toward Yang Lingchen in his heart. After all, his mother had even stopped being the Pavilion Master for the other party, and it had caused him to hide everywhere.

Fortunately, his mother was fine; otherwise, he would have risked his life against Yang Lingchen.

"Does Grandpa Liu also know Yang Lingchen?" Dong Chenyang asked curiously.

"Of course I know him. Two years ago, he was still at our Alchemist Guild, taking the assessment for his Alchemist status! At that time, his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Net Realm."

Liu Dongping sighed.

His eyes were filled with memories, as if he had returned to the day Yang Lingchen took the assessment.

"I don't know how this guy Cultivates; this speed of Cultivating is too exaggerated."

Dong Chenyang's eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn't understand how Yang Lingchen could become so powerful in such a short time.

"This might be what a true Prodigy is!"

Liu Dongping smiled and said, "Of course, being able to witness the growth of such a peerless Genius is the most fortunate moment for us bystanders. However, the premise is that we cannot become his enemy, otherwise, we can only become his stepping stone."

His tone was full of emotion and awe.

"I am already his stepping stone." Dong Chenyang looked helpless.

Thinking back to his interactions with Yang Lingchen, it seemed he had never gained any advantage. In the end, the other party even became his father. Who the hell could he reason with about this?

"Senior Brother Dong, he is with the Pavilion Master now. Will he give you a hard time?" Liu Mo'er asked with concern, her eyes full of worry, her small hands unconsciously gripping her skirt.

"Why would he give me a hard time? He is with my mother now; surely he wouldn't bicker with a Junior like me?" Dong Chenyang said helplessly. Although he said that, he actually had no bottom in his heart.

"That is true." Liu Mo'er nodded.

"President, there is a Young Master Yang at the Outer Sect requesting to see you."

Just then, an attendant from the Alchemist Guild walked in.

"Young Master Yang? Could it be Yang Lingchen?"

Liu Dongping's brows relaxed, and he hurriedly said, "Quick... quickly invite him in." His voice was full of urgency and anticipation.

"Yes, President." The attendant replied and then retreated.

Before long, Yang Lingchen walked in with Dong Xuanji. "President Liu, long time no see."

"Hahaha, it's been two years. I never thought that Young Friend Yang would have become the overlord of the Eastern Province." Liu Dongping laughed heartily, "Please sit, Mo'er, serve tea quickly."

His face was beaming with a warm smile, expressing a warm welcome to Yang Lingchen's arrival.

"President, you are too polite. I am visiting presumptuously today. Here is a small gift, please accept it."

Yang Lingchen took out the precious Spirit Medicine he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

His tone was very polite; after all, Liu Dongping had helped him before, and he was relatively generous to friends.

"Young Friend Yang, you are too polite. How can this old man accept such a heavy gift?" Liu Dongping waved his hand hurriedly.

His gaze fell on those precious Spirit Medicines, and although his heart was very moved, he was still a bit embarrassed to accept them.

"Senior Liu, you don't need to be polite. I still have plenty of this Spirit Medicine, so please just accept it!" Yang Lingchen pushed it over again. His attitude was sincere, making it hard for others to refuse.

"This..., then this old man will not be polite." Liu Dongping accepted the Spirit Medicine. He secretly marveled at Yang Lingchen's generosity and boldness.

"Chenyang, why did you come to Great Zhou?" Dong Xuanji looked at Dong Chenyang on the side, her eyes filled with maternal love and concern.

"Mother, the child heard that you were here, so I came to see you." Dong Chenyang said respectfully, his gaze always fixed on Dong Xuanji, not daring to be the slightest bit disrespectful.

"This is your father, Yang Lingchen. Greet him." Dong Xuanji pointed to Yang Lingchen beside her.

"Fa... Father."

Dong Chenyang pondered for a moment, and eventually called him father.

Since he was a child, he had always been quite obedient in front of Dong Xuanji.
