Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 129 - 23: Favored by the Elders, Sect War

"Bastard!"

Mu Ling’Er’s body stiffened; she didn’t expect Zhou Chen to enter her room directly.

Her gaze darted everywhere, fearing someone might see them.

In truth, her dress was long enough that even if someone saw, they would only see Zhou Chen holding her.

Yet, what she feared happened.

Mu Ling’Er’s peripheral vision caught a figure—Cheng Susu.

"Master!"

Luckily, Zhou Chen vanished quickly, but Cheng Susu still caught sight of them.

"That little rascal..."

Cheng Susu felt both shy and frustrated. She didn’t expect that after flirting with her moments ago, Zhou Chen would turn around and eagerly embrace Mu Ling’Er.

She clenched her delicate fists, feeling the urge to slap Zhou Chen to death.

But she held back.

"I didn’t see anything... I didn’t see anything..."

Cheng Susu deceived herself, returning to her room alone.

However, Zhou Chen’s silhouette lingered in her mind, refusing to fade, especially the image of the initial scene she stumbled upon with Zhou Chen and Mu Ling’Er.

She seemed to see again the terrifying Cyan Dragon, one of the four divine beasts!

"Cheng Susu, Cheng Susu, what are you thinking? You’re truly shameless..."

Cheng Susu shook her head, trying hard to forget, but the more she tried, the clearer it became.

Her legs tensed, and then she instructed the maid to prepare hot water.

She needed a bath to calm down!

...

As the sun rose and set.

Stars shifted.

A new day arrived as promised, with bright sunshine.

Spring is the season for planning, and morning the hour.

The grass is lush, and the air is crisp.

A layer of frost clung to the grass along the pebble path, slowly melting under the warm sunlight, forming droplets of glistening, colorful dew.

In the bedroom of the Mu Mansion at Spirit Medicine Peak.

Zhou Chen’s sleepy eyes slowly opened, like a hibernating python awakening, filled with vitality and joy.

He looked at Mu Ling’Er, who was cuddling him soundly asleep, her lovely face adorned with an enticing flush, her eyes bearing traces of tears.

Zhou Chen gently kissed her without disturbing her rest, and quietly withdrew, returning to Divine Arrow Peak.

Others in Cyan Cloud Sect were unaware of Zhou Chen’s ’heaven-defying alchemy aptitude’; they only knew he was learning alchemy.

Cheng Susu knew that a prominent tree often faces a strong wind, so she agreed to keep Zhou Chen’s secret.

Mu Ling’Er naturally followed Zhou Chen’s words.

Watching Zhou Chen leave, Cheng Susu entered Mu Ling’Er’s room.

As soon as she entered.

Cheng Susu detected a peculiar aroma; although she couldn’t identify it, she could guess, and it made her body slightly warm.

She glanced at the flush-faced Mu Ling’Er without disturbing her, intending to leave, but Mu Ling’Er turned over, causing the quilt to fall off.

Cheng Susu picked up the quilt and was about to cover Mu Ling’Er, but her gaze froze. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"That little bastard..."

She cursed inwardly and casually covered Mu Ling’Er with the quilt before quickly leaving.

Her face felt hot.

"Was Ling’Er truly happy?"

A question floated in Cheng Susu’s mind.

Mu Ling’Er’s legs wouldn’t close.

Especially when she recalled the glimpse of the terrifying Cyan Dragon Divine Beast, and Mu Ling’Er was injured.

The wounds were red and swollen, seemingly festering.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t confirm it.

Zhou Chen was unaware of Junior Susu’s philosophical pondering, and upon returning to Divine Arrow Peak, he visited Sister Da Shi, Li Changhen.

He wandered home by noon.

Time marched on.

Zhou Chen spent his days content and happy, avoiding ridicule, and outsmarts.

Thus, a month passed.

During this month, Cyan Cloud Sect experienced a significant event.

An Inner Sect Disciple discovered a Red Essence Ore Vein during training in Yunduan Mountain Range.

The Red Essence Ore Vein is a main component in crafting Divine Weapons.

At the news, Cyan Cloud Sect immediately dispatched people to occupy and exploit it; however, before they could, Flame Dragon Valley from neighboring Mo Mansion learned about it.

Flame Dragon Valley, closer to the Yunduan Mountain Range, sent warriors to drive away the Cyan Cloud Sect people, severely injuring a Peak of Divine Sea Realm Elder, and losing dozens of disciples!

Cyan Cloud Sect was furious; Sect Leader Qing Yuyao led Li Changfeng, Song Hao, and other warriors to the Yunduan Mountain Range.

This was no longer merely about Red Essence Iron Ore.

Several battles broke out at the Yunduan Mountain Range.

Many elders and True Disciples from Cyan Cloud Sect arrived; Zhou Chen, due to his extraordinary talent and short cultivation period, stayed at the sect.

...

Yunduan Mountain Range.

Li Changfeng shot an arrow that killed a Peak of Divine Sea Realm Elder from Flame Dragon Valley, provoking their warriors, and he was surrounded by three peak elders.

However, Li Changfeng burst out with Primordial Pill Realm power, a colossal arrow spirit appeared, terrifying energy surged, the world filled with a deadly aura.

"Not good!"

The three Peak of Divine Sea Realm elders’ faces changed, watching as a stream of light shot like a rainbow across the sky, like a meteor descending, piercing through the three of them.

The three Peak of Divine Sea Realm elders perished!

"Li Changfeng!"

Flame Dragon Valley’s Valley Master, Lie Huo, roared with rage, hair standing on end, striking fiercely towards Qing Yuyao with a punch.

The Fire Dragon roared, scorching the sky and boiling the sea.

Flame Dragon Valley’s secret martial art, Flame Dragon Fist.

Qing Yuyao calmly wielded a sword, the world lost color, the Fire Dragon silently split into two.

The sword’s momentum continued, striking towards Lie Huo.

Lie Huo had to fully defend, unable to deal with Li Changfeng.

"Retreat!"

Lie Huo shouted in fury, struggling to repel Qing Yuyao, leading the Flame Dragon Valley warriors to retreat.

But this battle.

Flame Dragon Valley lost four Divine Sea Realm elders, with six Divine Form Realm and Divine Power Realm warriors, and dozens of Body Refining Realm disciples, suffering great losses.

"Don’t chase the desperate!"

Qing Yuyao didn’t pursue; Flame Dragon Valley was a sect equal to Cyan Cloud Sect, with deep roots; cornering them could lead to mutual destruction, even if Cyan Cloud Sect could defeat them, they’d be left weakened.

And a weakened Cyan Cloud Sect would surely be devoured by other forces.

"Clean up the battlefield, assess the losses!"
