Chapter 162 Turning one's back on someone?
"Hmph, you're useless now, get out of here!"
Looking at She Jingxi, who was dressed up... cough cough, and turned her back on him, Chen Xuan waved his hand helplessly.
However, he really has no way to suppress She Jingxi right now, because she is so powerful that he can't beat her!
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now!"
"Wait a moment!"
"what happened again?"
"You know so many of my secrets, tell me, shouldn't I personally... you know?"
"Are you willing to?"
"What's there to be reluctant about? You're nothing more than a toy for me to amuse myself. You don't actually think I have any feelings for you, do you?" She Jingxi said arrogantly.
"Alright, I understand." Chen Xuan sighed, feigning sadness. "Since Your Majesty the Empress Dowager says so, then this humble subject can only obey."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving She Jingxi alone in the palace.
Watching Chen Xuan's departing figure, She Jingxi suddenly felt a pang of loss for some reason. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
"Did I...did I let you leave?"
"Is there anything else?"
"From now on, your activities will be confined to the inner palace. You are not allowed to leave even once! I will be watching you, and if you try to sneak away, I will let you know..."
"Alright, alright, I understand. I won't leave unless it's something important," Chen Xuan said.
"Even if you have something important to do, you're not allowed to leave! At the very least, you need to let me know what it is!"
"The Empress Dowager is so domineering!"
"I am already invincible in this world. Even if I am domineering, so what?"
"Fine, fine, next time, I'll make you...!" Chen Xuan said angrily.
As She Jingxi listened to Chen Xuan recount some of his previous actions, her cheeks flushed red. With a wave of her hand, she sent Chen Xuan flying out of the palace.
Once outside the palace, Chen Xuan immediately changed his expression, a smile appearing on his face. She Jingxi was quite adorable as a snake, and he couldn't resist teasing her, especially when she begged him; her coy yet hesitant expression made him incredibly eager to tease her.
He then stopped thinking about it and returned to his Imperial Hospital.
"System, what was the reward again?"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully uniting with She Jingxi, the strongest warrior in this realm. Rewards: Destiny Points, 10 years of cultivation, mastery of snake control, one Immortal Spirit Herb, and 20 lottery draws!"
The moment the reward was announced, Chen Xuan immediately felt the bottleneck in his body loosen. He quickly sat cross-legged, preparing to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core realm.
With a powerful surge of energy, Chen Xuan successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He not only broke through to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, but also has three hundred years of Yuan Yin power of She Jingxi stored in his body that he has not yet refined. After he takes the time to refine it slowly, his strength will naturally become even more terrifying!
"Mastering snake control... what's the use of that? It's like it makes me think I can beat She Jingxi! She outsmarts me with sheer strength, not with skill!"
"If I were at the same cultivation level as her, wouldn't she be delicate and easily... cough cough!"
"System, how many chances do I have to draw a prize?"
"Ding, the host has 51 chances to draw a prize."
What kind of pity system is guaranteed after 100 consecutive pulls?
"Ding! You are guaranteed to receive a Heavenly Rank item!"
Chen Xuan: "?"
"I did 100 consecutive pulls! Are you kidding me?! Not even a single golden legendary item?!"
"The Golden Legend is the top reward and will not appear in the guaranteed reward list."
"How stingy! Forget it, I'd better go keep my wives company and let each of them cultivate properly. These brides are too powerful; we can't control them yet! When I return after I've finished my training, I'll make them know what it means to be haunted by nightmares!"
……
At this time, Zhao Tianming was in seclusion at a second-tier sect.
But for some reason, while he was practicing, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath instantly weakened.
"Cough cough, what, what's going on? Why am I suddenly so unsettled that I almost went into a qi deviation?"
Zhao Tianming clutched his chest, his face showing surprise and confusion. His breathing had become noticeably weaker, and his inner unease grew stronger.
Such a simple breakthrough has gone wrong, which has greatly shocked him.
He sat cross-legged on the futon and began to try to regulate his breathing, but the unease persisted. Zhao Tianming had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Why is it so difficult to even enter a meditative state? What's going on?! If only Master could wake up! Sigh!"
Little did Qian Muli know that even she didn't know why he was reacting so strangely.
Zhao Tianming meditated for a while longer, but still couldn't enter a meditative state. So he stopped blindly cultivating and left the secret room.
As soon as they stepped outside, three familiar figures came into view: the steward Zhao Ji, his lover Xiao Lü from Yihong Tower, and his cheap father Zhao Yi.
Yes, after Chen Xuan transferred all the core members of the Zhao family, the power of the Zhao family fell into the hands of Zhao Yi, and he began a series of self-destructive behaviors.
Furthermore, when Chen Xuan left, he made a special trip to the Huang and Gao families, and both families learned a lot of information. They then launched a heavy attack on Zhao Yi, causing the Zhao family of Zhoudu to disappear directly in Zhao Yi's hands.
In the end, Zhao Yi didn't even have enough money to escape. The steward provided him with all the necessities along the way, and it was only through the sensing talisman that he was able to contact Zhao Tianming and come to seek refuge.
When Zhao Tianming first learned that the Zhao family was gone, he felt completely stunned.
He was destined to be the head of the Zhao family! The entire Zhao family was an extremely valuable resource for him, but before it even reached his hands, it was already squandered by Zhao Yi!
You've squandered everything, fine, but how dare you, Zhao Yi, come seeking refuge with me? You might as well atone with your death!
Fortunately, he had brought Xiao Lü with him, which was some consolation. But strangely, he now felt that Xiao Lü had a different kind of charm.
"Tianming has emerged from seclusion? How did it go? Did he break through to the Golden Core stage?"
"No, I've run into a problem in my cultivation."
"Ah?! What, what should we do! Now that our Zhao family doesn't have a Golden Core level expert to oversee things, let alone here, even in Zhoudu, we'll be in dire straits!" Zhao Yi said worriedly.
