Chapter 627: Chapter 627: A Decision That Defies Ancestral Rules

Ni Qingyao’s eyes reddened instantly, shaking her head as she said, "But you just came back from the brink of death, how can I bear to let you continue to take risks."

"That old guy suddenly jumped out at that time; I was a bit nervous and fell into his trap. Next time when I go up the mountain, I will be more careful and will definitely return safely."

Yang Cheng reached out and hugged her, gently comforting her.

He guessed that Lai Zhongyao must be waiting by the cave entrance, ready to pounce like a hyena the moment he drew near.

With the current situation, he had no other choice but to fight Lai Zhongyao to the death. Only by dealing with him would Hidden Cloud Village be peaceful from here on out.

However, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Stage, while the opponent was a Golden Core Realm expert. In a direct confrontation, he would definitely not be a match.

But the "Tome of the Ghost Doctor" records a technique that can temporarily enhance strength, although if not controlled well, it could lead to explosive death.

Now, with no other options, he must take the risk to try it, as it’s better than being beaten to death by Lai Zhongyao.

"Really? Xiaochen, you’re not lying to me?"

Ni Qingyao was teary-eyed, her gaze full of worry.

"How could I lie to you? Besides, if I weren’t confident, how could I dare to take the risk of going up the mountain? After a few more days of rest, I’ll go up to get the Purifying Spirit Spring. If that old thing dares to ambush me again, I’ll send him to the western heavens!"

With a confident demeanor, Yang Cheng finally eased Ni Qingyao’s worries.

"Your health seems pretty much recovered, so why not go back home? Continuously bothering Village Chief Yun like this is not very appropriate."

At this point, Kong Lingwen spoke, her gaze sharply darting back and forth between Yang Cheng and Yun Chan.

When she entered the room, she saw Yun Chan’s flushed cheeks and the kiss marks on her neck. Having experienced these things herself, she knew well what had happened.

These days, Yang Cheng giving enlightenment to brides was already something, but now staying with Yun Chan even when he’s not enlightening anyone.

She had planned to get close to Yang Cheng during his free time, but Yun Chan soured her plan by going up the mountain on a whim.

"Yang Cheng hasn’t fully recovered, and I’m a cultivator, I can help him heal. If he goes back, his condition might worsen."

Yun Chan immediately chimed in, grasping Yang Cheng’s arm.

She had a cool demeanor, not one to compete, but with only a mere ten days of time with Yang Cheng, she didn’t want to yield to other women.

"Is that so! Well, Village Chief Yun can visit Da Shan’s house daily to check on Yang Cheng. It’s not necessary to keep him by your side."

Kong Lingwen’s face showed displeasure, with her tone full of jealousy.

Yang Cheng felt a bit of a headache, carefully considering before speaking, "Lin Wen, I’ve been infected with the Corpse Poison. Before the toxins are cleared, I’m worried it might affect you."

Hearing this, Kong Lingwen’s expression softened somewhat, and she said, "Alright, take good care of yourself. We’ve stayed here too long. If we don’t return soon, I’m worried my father won’t hold up."

When they left, the Kong Family was still in crisis, and Kong Jingshan alone might not suffice to deal with the Cao and Gao Families.

"I understand."

Yang Cheng nodded.

The time spent in Hidden Cloud Village had been so idyllic, he sometimes forgot the days and years.

While Kong Jingshan was resourceful, facing the encirclement of two other families, there’s no telling what might happen.

At this moment, Ni Qingyao stood up, speaking somewhat meaningfully, "Xiaochen, we’re heading back. Take care of yourself, don’t overexert."

Yang Cheng awkwardly rubbed his nose, all too familiar with the situation, it’s clear to see his relationship with Yun Chan was not ordinary.

Ni Qingyao worried he’d have no restraint, focusing only on his passionate nights with Yun Chan, only to harm his own health.

After the two left, Yun Chan shyly pounded his chest lightly, speaking in a tender voice, "It’s all your fault, getting so intimate with me in broad daylight, they must have seen."

"So what if they saw, they guessed it anyway."

Yang Cheng chuckled, holding her close and gave her a peck on the lips.

Initially, Yun Chan was pushing against his chest, yet she soon became lost in the heated kiss, unable to detach herself.

They were affectionate for quite a while. Only when the sun wasn’t so scorching, did they go out together to gather herbs at the edge of the Hidden Cloud Village barrier.

As Yang Cheng picked herbs, he introduced various medicinal plants to Yun Chan.

Without realizing it, evening had arrived, and the two returned home tired. Wen Ying had already prepared a meal, waiting for them at the dining table.

Not long after dinner, women gradually came to collect medicines.

Yang Cheng sat on one side, stating the names and dosages of herbs, while Yun Chan weighed and wrapped them as he required.

This approach allowed Yun Chan to deepen her memory. In just two days, she had remembered all the herbs available around the Hidden Cloud Village.

After everyone left, Yang Cheng immediately went to boil water, and like the day before, they took a mandarin duck bath together.

The large bed in the room shook violently, gentle moans slipped from Yun Chan’s lips, growing more alluring the more she held back.

It wasn’t until midnight that Yang Cheng stopped to absorb Primordial Yin Qi, giving Yun Chan time to catch her breath.

After a moment of silence, Yun Chan spoke slowly, "Yang Cheng, I’ve thought it over. It’s more dangerous if you take me up the mountain, it’s better for you to go alone. So I plan to give you the key, you go to fetch the Purifying Spirit Spring by yourself."

At this time, Yang Cheng had just finished absorbing the Primordial Yin Qi, surprised he said, "But isn’t it that only you can open the Purifying Spirit Spring, can I also do it?"

"As long as you insert the Peaceful Key into the lock and use True Qi to activate it, it will open the entrance. If you encounter Lai Zhongyao, just hide in the cave. The entrance to the Purifying Spirit Spring has a barrier, he can’t get in."

Yun Chan said seriously.

Handing over the Peaceful Key to Yang Cheng was a significant departure from ancestral traditions, but she didn’t want to involve Yang Cheng.

The previous mountain trip had been a close call; could they have the same luck again?

"How do I fetch the Purifying Spirit Spring then?"

Yang Cheng asked. He had been too focused on picking herbs in the Purifying Spirit Spring cave to notice how Yun Chan extracted the spring.

"The Purifying Spirit Spring is within the Jade Lotus. I’ll give you two tools to extract it. First, draw it into the dropper, then carefully pour it into the gourd."

"To ensure there’s enough of the Purifying Spirit Spring this time, extract as much as the Jade Lotus secretes so we won’t have to go up the mountain again."

Yun Chan patiently instructed, her body nestled in Yang Cheng’s embrace, with an uneasy heart.

"I understand."

Yang Cheng nodded. In fact, he had been thinking of doing this for a while, just worried Yun Chan wouldn’t give him the key, which would’ve been awkward.

"Yang Cheng, I’m selfish. I don’t care whether you succeed in fetching back the Purifying Spirit Spring, I just hope you come back alive."

Yun Chan lifted her head, looking at him with deep affection, causing the atmosphere to naturally become increasingly intimate.
