Free Web NovelChapter 1557: Chapter 1554: Yang Fei Is Hiding Something
Helian Zhan and Ouyang He stayed at Tian Nan Peak. Due to Ouyang He’s talent in poisons and medicine, he gained the appreciation of Monarch Luo Yu, who recruited him into the Medicine Garden.
This move is Shang Qing Sect’s way of showing goodwill to Earth, using such deep cooperation to bind themselves together, maximizing benefits while strengthening human relationships. Cultivators, when serious, are undoubtedly better at handling worldly affairs than ordinary people.
Several months hastily passed.
Just as Yang Fei had anticipated, the batch of diluted genetic liquid medicine was quietly distributed and used among the Shang Qing Sect’s upper echelons without arousing any suspicion. Instead, because the allocated amount increased and more people used it, the probability of the medicine’s efficacy also increased.
Aside from Wan Daorong, two elders who had been stuck at a bottleneck for years felt a slight loosening of their cultivation barriers after consuming the medicine liquid, sparking new hope even though they hadn’t immediately broken through.
The upper echelons of Shang Qing Sect were very excited about this.
Wan Daorong occasionally mentioned this to Yang Fei, showing a few traces of comfort and pride, feeling that treating Earth Cultivation World with a gentle approach and taking Yang Fei as a closed-door disciple was a brilliant move.
Yang Fei was secretly ecstatic inside.
It really worked.
Indeed, Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an are bold, meticulous, and seasoned.
He himself had been too honest in the past.
He should have done this long ago.
Meanwhile, he slowly anticipated that time would verify whether this "wide-net casting" strategy could bring even greater surprises.
In the following months, Yang Fei learned from Wan Daorong that the Six Great Immortal Gates in the Southern Domain also had good news. Due to the increased amount of genetic liquid medicine contributed this time, more people used it, and most of it was enjoyed by the second-generation members of sects and aristocratic families with substandard qualifications.
Perhaps these second-generation immortals inherently possessed strong genes inherited from their parents, which hadn’t fully manifested before. Now, stimulated and activated by the genetic liquid medicine, many completed upgrades in spirit root grade, causing small-scale significant upheaval within the upper echelons.
Yang Fei was thoroughly relieved and ecstatic inside.
He even quietly returned to Earth once through the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, meeting privately with Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an, conveying the news and issuing an order to continue diluting the genetic liquid medicine.
Qin Huai’an, more cautious, said, "If we continue diluting, will it become too weak?"
"No need to dilute too harshly. We’ll probe step by step, using feedback from the vast cultivators in the Southern Domain to collect experimental data," Yang Fei said firmly, "I suspect that the genes of our Earth people might be more effective in unlocking the gene locks of Southern Domain’s cultivators than for our Earth people."
Seeing Yang Fei’s conviction, Huang Chengcheng and Qin Huai’an did not doubt him and agreed to follow his directives.
Meanwhile, after over half a year, the estrangement between Yang Fei and Helian Rong disappeared, and the emotions suppressed for many years surged like a breached dam, becoming difficult to suppress.
He began to frequently leave Piaomiao Stream.
Initially, Qin and Tong did not suspect anything, pleased that their husband was diligent in cultivation.
Moreover, since Mo Li and the other three passed away, Yang Fei had been emotionally low. Seeing him seemingly rejuvenated, the two women were secretly relieved, thinking he finally emerged from that depressive state.
However, women are ultimately meticulous in thought, especially regarding their partners with whom they share life. Their sixth sense is unusually strong.
With Yang Fei leaving Piaomiao Stream more often, Qin Yanyang first sensed something amiss.
She approached Tong Yunshu, frankly sharing her suspicions.
Tong Yunshu, upon reflection, also found something wrong, saying, "It is a bit strange. He has reduced dual cultivation sessions with me, and during each session, he seems preoccupied, no longer establishing the ’mind-connected’ state with me. Had you not mentioned it, I would still think he fears his depressive mood might affect my state of mind. But his mood has evidently improved recently, having emerged from that sentiment of sadness and negativity."
Qin Yanyang immediately felt a jolt within.
Tong Yunshu, being very astute, instantly realized Qin Yanyang’s reason for discussing these issues today, directly asking, "Do you suspect he’s hiding something from us?"
Qin Yanyang snorted coldly but didn’t reveal it.
After a brief silence, Tong Yunshu sighed softly, "Let it be, as long as he doesn’t become so despondent again, the rest... let him be. Far better than his previous state, which was heart-wrenching."
Qin Yanyang, however, snorted coldly, "A leopard can’t change its spots..."
Tong Yunshu’s beautiful eyes widened, fiercely glaring at her, refusing to be outdone in presence: "Who’s that supposed to be about? Even if it’s me, Yang Fei accepted it too, and you’ve already forgiven him, doesn’t that mean you’ve already accepted a dog who’s eaten that thing?"
Qin Yanyang angrily retorted, "At a time like this, you’re still thinking about arguing with me? Aren’t you afraid your man will run off with someone else?"
Tong Yunshu replied with a huff, "He won’t. Though he is a bit of a philanderer, he’s sincere with me, and that’s enough. I owe my life to him; for my sake, he was willing to risk his own life. How many so-called loyal men in this world, who boast of being devoted, can actually do this? Besides, lust is human nature. He is outstanding, so the women around him are also outstanding, attracting each other. If he weren’t excellent, no matter how devoted, do you think those women would take notice? Qin Yanyang, you managed to live to your current age, the world’s essence is based on the law of the strong ones. Haven’t you seen through this yet?"
Qin Yanyang opened her mouth, hesitated several times, and finally looked at Tong Yunshu with complex emotions, asking, "Do you truly think like this, willingly sharing a man with other women?"
Tong Yunshu’s eyes dimmed slightly: "I also want him to love only me, but... but I really can’t live without him. Without him in my life, I would feel extremely uncomfortable, and life would seem utterly joyless."
Qin Yanyang sighed heavily, filled with compassion for Tong Yunshu, while also releasing and reconciling her own deep-seated unyielding feelings.
Yang Fei’s deep emotions and loyalty are what attract them, but they inevitably also attract other women, making his emotional world vibrant and colorful. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
He already has Tong Yunshu, and there’s the unknown fate of Li Xuanyu; she has chosen to turn a blind eye already. Now with another, can she truly give up on Yang Fei entirely? Can she live without him?
She doesn’t know.
Though she repeatedly tells herself that she’s let go, released that stubbornness and persistence.
Yet, why does this faint bitterness rise from the bottom of her heart, making her feel as if her soul is being pierced and burned?
