Chapter 1051: Chapter 526: So What If I’m Stronger and Have a Worse Temper?

The head of the Three Dukes actually has reservations, which truly surprised him.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, for he certainly knew what Duke Qin wanted to say.

As for why he didn’t say it... that was, of course, because of Liu Sheng.

The two of them hadn’t been inside for long before they came out again, which seemed to indicate the conversation didn’t go well or perhaps didn’t happen at all.

"Strange, tsk tsk... it really is strange!"

Kang Bai shook his head in amazement, and his gaze toward Chen Xuan became somewhat peculiar.

"Brother Kang, it seems like you have plenty of free time today?"

Chen Xuan teased him.

"Free? I don’t even have time to sleep, let alone be free. I’m leaving."

These days he’s so busy he doesn’t have a moment to spare, and if it weren’t for the guards notifying him, he wouldn’t have had time to be here.

Seeing him leave hurriedly, Chen Xuan shook his head and then headed toward Liu Sheng’s room.

He was still very curious about what these three bigwigs discussed!

"Chief Eunuch!"

Chen Xuan pushed open the door, seeing Liu Sheng with closed eyes, his expression not looking good, yet Chen Xuan felt his vitality seemed slightly improved.

"Hmm!"

Liu Sheng kept his eyes shut, "Duke Qin didn’t say anything to you, did he?"

"He wanted to but eventually held back."

He replied with a smile, then sat beside him, continuing what he hadn’t finished before.

A strand of spiritual power circulated within Liu Sheng’s body.

Liu Sheng’s brow relaxed and he began to enjoy it again.

"Why did they come and go so quickly?"

"If you’re so curious, why didn’t you stay just now?"

Liu Sheng squinted his eyes slightly, countering.

"Not born to serve people, can’t help it."

His reply made Liu Sheng’s lips curl up, feeling content in his heart.

"Is it to have me check on the two clans?"

Chen Xuan withdrew his spiritual power, finally asking.

"Didn’t say!"

"But it should be this matter."

Liu Sheng didn’t hide from him. To Chen Xuan, he treated him as his own family—perhaps even more so, as he hadn’t seen any Liu family member for a long time.

"Forget it, you don’t need to worry about this. Without my permission, you..."

"Must not go!"

Liu Sheng cautioned him, genuinely worried those two old folks might contact him in secret, hence stating things upfront.

"Understood, haven’t I said it already? I’m most afraid of dying."

Chen Xuan laughed, not understanding the concern over him!

"That’s good!"

Liu Sheng understood his personality, but some things left unsaid left him uneasy.

"Alright, when you’re free, read some books to pass the time. If you feel bored, I can have Kang Bai find some beautiful ladies to entertain you."

"Get lost!"

"You brat, you dare say anything!"

Liu Sheng cursed, considering his status, he’s too old for beautiful ladies—if word got out, he’d lose face.

"Hahaha..."

Despite the scolding, Chen Xuan laughed heartily, seeing him full of vigor even when cursing, it seemed his recovery was decent, reducing Chen Xuan’s worries.

"Not joking with you anymore!"

Chen Xuan placed a blue blanket over Liu Sheng before leaving.

"You brat!"

Liu Sheng chuckled and picked up a book from the table, opening it to read.

....

Seven days later.

In the room, a crisp bubble sound echoed from within Chen Xuan’s body.

The seventh acupoint was finally opened by him.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, having spent nearly two months in total to finally open the seventh acupoint.

No choice!

Lacking spiritual liquid, his speed had greatly slowed.

At this rate... completing thirty percent of the Sacred Body is risky.

With a slight shift in thought.

...

[Jade Bone: Seventh Grade (54%)]

[Sacred Body: (7/108)]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator - Dao Realm (Fifth Tier), Spirit Cultivator - Dao Stage (Fifth Tier)]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Seventeenth Layer (2.57 billion/7.2 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Twentieth Layer (417 million/8.32 billion))]

[Skill Points: 18.399 billion]

...

Upon seeing the last line of skill points, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Already over 180 small goals.

By the time the burial ground event ends, it will be his time for a frenzied breakthrough.

Breaking realms continuously, reaching Double Six, Double Seven, and as for reaching Double Eight, hopes are slim, unless Ning Xin can manage another breakthrough, then there’s a sliver of hope.

However, now that he possesses the Origin Dao Body, with the addition of the Jade Bone, he can improve his strength without deliberate cultivation.

Arrogantly speaking, he can now grow stronger just by lying down sleeping.

If he can settle down for a few thousand years, when he wakes up, he’ll be the most fearsome one.

"Knock knock knock..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Husband, the Fourth Prince has sent an invitation!"

Gu Pengyou’s voice floated into the room.

"Creak..."

Chen Xuan opened the door, accepting the gold-embossed invitation from her hand.

Upon opening and reading it, his brow furrowed.

"What’s wrong, Husband!"

Gu Pengyou’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, thinking if he didn’t want to go, then not going was fine. Considering Chen Xuan’s current status, refusing a prince was nothing.

So... why did he have such an expression?

"Take a look."

Chen Xuan handed the invitation over to her.

After Gu Pengyou finished reading, she realized the reason.

"Qin Ying’s mother, Lin Fei, wants to see you? How sudden!"

"How would I know?"

Chen Xuan felt helpless; Qin Ying’s mother wanted to meet him at Qin Hong’s residence, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Given his relationship with Qin Ying, Lin Fei would also be considered his mother in the future!

Not going would look bad!

"Will Husband go?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan nodded, "It’s good, we should meet eventually."

"Then I’ll prepare for you; after all, it’s the first time meeting Lin Fei, we can’t afford any misstep!"
