Transmission Hall, side chamber.

All around was silent, with only a few long-burning lamps emitting faint candlelight.

Behind the curtain deeper in the side chamber, a slender figure was holding her breath, cautiously peering through a gap in the curtain to look outside.

If it weren’t for Bai Susu using Baopu Peak’s array to conceal her, with Chen Ye’s current strength of Divine Sense, she would’ve been discovered the moment she got close.

"Sister Bai said she would help me get revenge and told me to watch here..."

Zhang Chuxi tightly clutched the corner of her clothes, her palms full of sweat, feeling both nervous and slightly expectant.

"No matter what... barely, but it’s still considered bullying that bastard harshly."

The center of the side chamber.

Chen Ye sat upright and still, yet felt like thorns were pressing into his back.

Just then, a golden-haired absolutely beautiful young girl walked in humming a song. Upon seeing Chen Ye, she quickly put on a fierce face:

"Guardian Chen, do you know your crime?"

What game is this guy playing again...

Chen Ye forced himself to reply:

"I do not know."

"You don’t know?"

Bai Susu let out a cold laugh,

"You killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yuan Family, and also slew Mei Suxin. Now the entire Emotion Crossing Sect considers you a thorn in their side. There’s even a rumor that a Golden Core Demon Lord has murderous intent for you. Hmph. Making such a big trouble, and you act like nothing happened?"

"True Inheritor Bai, wasn’t I making contributions for the sect?" Chen Ye defended himself.

"Dare to argue! I say trouble, then it’s trouble!"

Bai Susu extended her finger, fiercely poking his forehead,

"From today on, without my permission, you’re not to take a single step outside the sect! Otherwise, don’t wait for the Demon Cultivator to act, I myself will break your legs first!"

Alright then...

Although her words were harsh, she still had his best interests at heart.

But this condescending attitude was quite unpleasant for Chen Ye.

Yet the circumstances were stronger than him.

In front of Bai Susu, Chen Ye could only be as docile as a ball; he respectfully said:

"I understand."

"Alright, on to the main business."

Bai Susu satisfactorily nodded.

He was still obedient after all.

She originally thought Chen Ye, nearing the middle period of Foundation Establishment, might have become somewhat rebellious.

The golden-haired girl raised her chin, extended her foot, and placed it on his thigh, asking:

"How’s your progress with the Heartburning Technique I gave you last time?"

Chen Ye was stunned, then his expression changed slightly.

The so-called Heartburning Technique, acquired from a Storage Bag of a Great Cultivator from Emotion Crossing Sect, was one of the battle spoils of Lingyin Sect.

Though a Demon Path Cultivation Technique, it was an unconventional approach that did not harm the balance of nature.

But ultimately it’s a technique from Emotion Crossing Sect, focusing on the principles of yin and yang, with its core essence in "Extreme Yang Transformation."

Put simply, it uses the extreme buildup of "Internal Fire" to break through the bottleneck, aided by specific Spiritual Objects, to increase the probability of breaking through to the First-Layer of the middle period of Foundation Establishment.

Though just one layer of probability, it was already quite precious.

Chen Ye already had Pills bestowed by the Sect Master, and along with this Cultivation Technique, breaking through to the middle period of Foundation Establishment was a highly secure matter.

"Well... after True Inheritor Bai assisted with the cultivation last time, progress with the Heartburning Technique is considerable, but this Cultivation Technique... this Cultivation Technique..."

Chen Ye found it hard to speak.

Being manipulated to the point of losing control by someone who looks about the same age as his disciple was truly disgraceful.

Yet due to this Cultivation Technique, he had to continue suppressing the Internal Fire...

"Too much what? Too shameful?"

Bai Susu bit her lip, a hint of anger flashing across her exquisite little face,

"Having help from a True Inheritor is your fortune! How dare you be unwilling... tsk tsk."

Her delicate white fingertips slid inside the man’s collar, gently drawing circles on his scorching chest.

She wanted to see for herself.

How long Chen Ye could endure today!

She loved watching Chen Ye’s expression, bearing shame and anger, yet unable to defy or find relief!

Bai Susu had begun to look forward to it, she thought to herself:

"Hmph... Chen Ye, since you’ve become my man, just obediently remain under my control for a lifetime. With my talent, you’ll never have a chance to turn the tables."

Unable to resist, Chen Ye had no choice but to silently accept.

"Hmm..."

He clenched his teeth, the veins bulging on his forehead, sweat sliding down his cheeks.

The tingling numbness permeating his bones, combined with the rapidly rising heat within, made him feel like he was in a fiery pit.

This was the Heartburning Technique operating by itself!

"Hmph, you talk tough, but your body is honest!"

The golden-haired girl subtly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased. She knew that this guy, who seemed detached, was actually an excellent candidate for the Emotion Crossing Sect!

Since he was a great candidate for the Emotion Crossing Sect, how could he escape the grasp of her Spirit Hidden True Inheritance?

However...

Bai Susu glanced secretly, withdrawing her gaze like being electrocuted, pretended to nonchalantly look around.

But,

To have a child, yin and yang must unite.

This guy’s yang energy is so strong, no one in the world could bear it!

Let alone herself...

Thinking this, the girl furrowed her brows, discontentedly glaring at Chen Ye: "Are you mute? How’s the cultivation going?"

Chen Ye, baffled by her glare, considered himself patient and tolerant, not knowing where he had offended her again.

His breathing was heavy, and he forced out: "True Inheritor Bai, everything is proceeding smoothly."

"That’s good... Oh right, call me master!"

Bai Susu, dissatisfied, pinched his waist.

This man was obedient in every other way, except being unwilling to call her master.

Chen Ye pretended not to hear and continued with his focused cultivation.

She sighed, then reignited her fighting spirit.

Sooner or later, she was determined to thoroughly tame Chen Ye!

Thinking this, Bai Susu glanced at the curtain, a slight smile on her lips.

She had thought there was an affair between Chen Ye and Zhang Chuxi.

But she had been secretly observing for some time and found there was nothing between them... there was no need to pay attention to it in the future.
