Chapter 270: Chapter 267: Brother Su, Take Me
"Master, there is one more thing I must report. On my way back to the city, I was ambushed by experts from the Huyan Family in Falling Eagle Gorge..."
In the tea room, Su Yu’s expression was calm as he recounted the ambush. However, regarding the shocking feat of him crossing realms to kill Hu Yanxin of the Muscle Forging Realm, he habitually held back. He only said that he had used a trump card to heavily injure his opponent and had been lucky to escape.
CRACK!
Upon hearing this, the smile on Qin Fangqiong’s face vanished, his expression instantly turning grim. His right hand clamped down hard, crushing the solid redwood armrest into an extremely fine powder that trickled through his fingers.
"The Huyan Family! They’ve gone too far! Do they really think I’m dead?"
A cold killing intent flashed in Qin Fangqiong’s eyes. Su Yu was now the person he valued most and the greatest hope for the White Ape Martial Arts Hall’s future. For the Huyan Family to dare attempt such a deadly assassination outside the city was tantamount to touching his reverse scale!
"The rest of you, leave us. I need to discuss this with Su Yu alone," Qin Fangqiong ordered in a low voice.
Seeing their master was truly enraged, Lin Wanzhu and Jiang Liuchuan immediately complied and left. Qin Yu had wanted to stay and listen in but was driven out by a stern look from Qin Fangqiong.
Once the door was shut, only the master and disciple remained in the tea room.
Su Yu laid out the entire sequence of events and his own speculations, his gaze slightly narrowed. "Master, my trip to the Ten Islands was extremely secret, yet the Huyan Family was able to set a precise ambush. As for Junior Brother Chen Fan... has he had any contact with the Huyan Family recently?"
Faced with Su Yu’s pointed question, Qin Fangqiong’s expression shifted before he finally let out a long sigh.
"I have my own suspicions about this matter, but we ultimately need concrete evidence. Chen Fan is your fellow disciple, after all. We can’t sentence him to death based on mere speculation."
Qin Fangqiong looked at Su Yu, his tone suddenly turning harsh. "But you can rest assured, I am no sentimental fool! If it is proven that he truly betrayed us and conspired with outsiders to harm his own, I will personally tear him apart and cleanse our house!"
Qin Fangqiong paused, his tone softening again. "I will remember this debt from the Huyan Family; I won’t let them get away with it! However, you are in the spotlight too much right now. You must be extremely cautious from now on. If you need to leave the city again for a long trip, remember to inform me in advance!"
Su Yu felt the genuine care in his master’s eyes and nodded solemnly.
No matter how treacherous the outside world was, at least within the White Ape Martial Arts Hall, his master was still a great tree that could shelter him from the wind and rain. With this protection, he just needed to lie low and focus on getting stronger.
"Master, you must also be careful. Huyan Muyuan is a top-tier Profound Bone Realm expert, after all. It’s not wise for us to have a complete falling out and confront them head-on right now," Su Yu reminded him.
"Good disciple, you can set your mind at ease." Qin Fangqiong stroked his beard, a domineering gaze appearing in his old eyes. "The divine stone you so filially offered me before had an even better effect than I imagined! The hidden injuries that plagued my early years have all completely healed, and my depleted Qi and Blood have been revitalized... Perhaps it won’t be long before I can return to the Profound Bone Realm!"
"What?! Master, you can return to the Profound Bone Realm?"
Su Yu was overjoyed at his words. If his master could truly ascend to the Profound Bone Realm again, then amid the great, turbulent changes in Black Stone City, the White Ape Martial Arts Hall would finally have a true foundation to stand on!
"I only have a certain degree of confidence, so don’t get your hopes up too high. This matter is of utmost importance; I haven’t even told Yu’Er a single word about it. You must keep it a secret. We can talk after I’ve truly crossed that threshold!" Although Qin Fangqiong’s words were modest, his expression clearly showed a certain level of confidence.
Su Yu, ever so perceptive, immediately started flattering him. "Master, experience truly comes with age! If you return to the Profound Bone Realm, your former fame will surely resound throughout Black Stone City once more!"
"Haha, what’s the reputation of these old bones worth? It’s not even worth mentioning! You, on the other hand, you monstrous brat—your name is destined to surpass my own in the future!"
"But I’ll still be your disciple! It will be a testament to your excellent teaching!"
The master and disciple looked at each other and laughed, and the tense atmosphere in the tea room was swept away.
...
「Nightfall. The Su Mansion.」
The moonlight was like water when Su Yu stepped into the rear courtyard.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a pleasant, faint fragrance washed over him. He saw that Yang Zhen was not dressed in her usual, somewhat demure attire tonight. Instead, she wore a gossamer-thin, moon-white silk nightgown.
The silk was as smooth as water, clinging tightly to her increasingly voluptuous figure, which was like a ripe peach. A single silk ribbon was tied loosely at her waist, and the collar was slightly open, revealing a large expanse of dazzlingly pale skin and a deep cleavage.
"Brother Su..."
Seeing Su Yu’s return, Yang Zhen was like a young swallow returning to its nest. She rushed into his arms with a gust of fragrance, her hands clinging to his waist as she buried her beautiful face in his chest.
Feeling the slight tremors from the soft, full body in his arms, Su Yu keenly sensed her unease. His large, gentle hand stroked her smooth, long hair as he soothed her in a warm voice, "What’s wrong, Zhen’Er? I’ve only been away from the mansion for a few days. Did something happen at home?"
Yang Zhen looked up, her misty eyes gazing infatuatedly at Su Yu. "Everything at the mansion is fine. It’s just... these past few days, the fiends from the Black Lotus Sect have been frantically attacking the Inner City. It’s chaos outside, and Zhen’Er has been feeling scared. It turns out the seemingly lofty Inner City isn’t so indestructible after all."
She paused, her slender brows knitting slightly. "Besides, I’ve been feeling some strange changes in my body recently. Unfamiliar images flash through my mind from time to time."
Hearing this, Su Yu frowned slightly. "Zhen’Er, are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing Su Yu’s tense expression, Yang Zhen suddenly giggled, her smile like a hundred flowers blooming. "It’s nothing, Brother Su, it’s a good thing. My Wood Spirit Body seems to be getting purer, and my life force is several times stronger than before. It’s just... I haven’t seen you these past few days, and I feel so empty inside. Without Brother Su by my side, Zhen’Er feels like she has no one to rely on." freewebnøvel.coɱ
Yang Zhen’s gaze was captivating, her eyes practically overflowing with adoration and allure.
Su Yu smiled and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, he felt a powerful urge to protect her.
"Don’t worry, I’ll break through to the Muscle Forging Realm soon. I’ll definitely be able to protect you all then!"
"Mm, Zhen’Er believes in you. Oh, right, Brother Su, since my Spirit Body awakened, my Martial Arts progress has been advancing by a thousand miles a day. I’ve already opened three acupoints these past few days, and I’m just a step away from the Flesh Refining Realm. From now on, Zhen’Er won’t be a burden to you!"
"Oh? You’ve already broken through three acupoints?" A flash of surprise appeared in Su Yu’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the girl’s Wood Spirit Body could become even stronger.
"The Heart Mirror and the Celestial Spirit Acupoint, you’ve opened them all?"
Seeing the surprise on Su Yu’s face, Yang Zhen’s pretty face lit up with joy, and she nodded. "I’ve broken through them all. If Brother Su doesn’t believe me, you can test it yourself."
After speaking, Yang Zhen, whether intentionally or not, proudly puffed out her chest. Her magnificent peaks pressed against Su Yu’s broad chest.
An astonishing softness and a young woman’s unique scent filled Su Yu’s nostrils.
Being so bluntly teased by such a beauty, Su Yu instantly felt a wicked fire ignite in his lower abdomen.
"Then let Brother Su have a good look at just what your realm is like."
Su Yu chuckled, and with a sweep of his ape-like arms, he wrapped one around her slender, graspable waist. Amidst a delicate cry of surprise, he lifted Yang Zhen into a princess carry and strode into the inner chamber. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
...
"Brother Su, take me."
Inside the boudoir, a pink shark-gauze canopy slowly descended. The red candlelight flickered, casting the hazy silhouettes of two tightly embracing figures onto the gauze.
Hearing the young woman’s shy yet resolute whisper in his ear, Su Yu nodded solemnly, looking into her watery eyes. "Mm, Zhen’Er, Brother Su will never let you down."
The next moment, a large hand gave a gentle tug, and the already loose silk ribbon slipped away. The moon-white nightgown slid down from her smooth, jade-like shoulders, revealing a flawless, perfect body as fair and supple as suet jade.
Su Yu lowered his head and possessively captured her luscious, glistening red lips, then traveled downwards, moving to pluck the fruit from those snowy, proud peaks...
The stars were sparse under the bright moon, and the night wind was cool.
Within the quiet boudoir, the air was thick with the scent of spring.
The CREAKING of the wooden couch intertwined with the young woman’s irrepressible moans, a decadent sound that echoed continuously.
Su Yu’s powerful physique, at the late-stage of the Flesh Refining Realm with Qi and Blood like a blazing furnace, displayed a terrifying dominance. But Yang Zhen’s Wood Spirit Body was also extraordinarily miraculous. Its endless regenerative power allowed her, amidst the stormy assault, to be like a resilient vine, tenaciously meeting the ravages of the gale.
The crimson waves tossed and turned until a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, and only then did the face-flushing commotion gradually subside.
...
「The next morning.」
Feeling refreshed and invigorated, Su Yu stretched languidly, lifted a corner of the covers, and got up.
He glanced back at the stunning, exhausted body sleeping soundly under the brocade quilt. Her fair skin was still dotted with shocking red plum blossoms.
Su Yu smiled with satisfaction.
’It seems my prowess from the late-stage of the Flesh Refining Realm is truly no joke.’
After tucking her in, Su Yu hummed a little tune and pushed open the door, heading out to the spacious rear courtyard.
’The land of soft comforts is wonderful, but the day’s work begins in the morning. If I don’t seize the time to practice my martial arts, all this boiling Qi and Blood will go to waste!’
Su Yu stood in the courtyard, untied the Azure Spirit Origin-Transforming Gourd from his waist, and tilted his head back, taking a large gulp of the supreme-grade Spirit Wine that had been infused with Sorrow-Forgetting Immortal-Drunk Fruit.
The liquid slid down his throat like a clear, icy spring rushing straight to his mind. The lingering drowsiness from drink and the fatigue from his indulgence were instantly swept away, leaving his mind incomparably clear and bright. Mysterious insights about his Fist Technique began to surface in his thoughts.
’What a great state! Now’s the time!’
Su Yu’s eyes flew wide open, and the vast Qi and Blood of his late-stage Flesh Refining Realm erupted from within him!
He sank his shoulders, dropped his elbows, and let his great tendons tremble and snap as he began to practice the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape Fist!
BOOM!
As his fist shot out, the air exploded, creating a sonic boom like a clap of dull thunder!
"Demon Ape Beats the Drum!"
Su Yu punched faster and faster, the enhancement from Hundred Fierce Peaks stacking layer upon layer on his fists.
Every punch he threw carried a violent astral wind that swept ferociously through the courtyard, brutally kicking up the dust from the ground.
He seemed to have transformed into a true primeval demon ape, his fists ferociously pounding on an invisible war drum. His aura was overwhelmingly domineering!
Four hours later, Su Yu slowly withdrew his stance, exhaling a breath of hot white air that was sharp as a sword.
[Martial Arts]: Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape Fist (Mastery 365/10000)
’My state today is surprisingly good. I gained a full fifty or sixty more Skill Level points than I expected!’
Su Yu looked at the panel, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. ’Is it the comprehension boost from the Spirit Wine? Or was it thanks to last night’s union of yin and yang, which let my body and mind be completely released? Whatever the reason, at this terrifying rate of progress, the time it takes to break through to the Muscle Forging Realm can be shortened by several more days!’
He casually grabbed a dry towel to wipe the sweat from his neck, his eyes growing incredibly bright with anticipation.
’Next up is Breaking the Limit.’
He had already accumulated 1 Breakthrough Point. To be on the safe side, Su Yu had waited a day until he returned to the Su Mansion before preparing for Breaking the Limit.
He summoned the panel and pressed the [+] sign after the Lingxi Beast Taming Technique!
