Chapter 170 Jiang Xuan felt a pang of sadness - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real
Chapter 170 Jiang Xuan felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. "Master, is there truly no way?" Bai Ningshuang shook her head. "Your father has been consumed by chaotic energy." "He remains oblivious to the calamity he is in." "To warn him would mean defying the natural order." "Enough, let's not speak of this again." "If you persist in involving yourself, you too will be implicated by your father's actions." Hearing her master Bai Ningshuang speak thus, Jiang Xuan's eyes reflected a deep unwillingness. Regardless of the circumstances. That was still her father. She would have to find another way... ... In Linjiang City, within Fei Lingsue's courtyard. Taking advantage of the pleasant morning sun, Su Mo stood in the courtyard practicing the Shaoyang Sword Technique. Meanwhile, Xu Miaoyin and Kong Bing, feeling bored, had gone to the General's Manor to play with Huang Qingwan and the others. At that moment. A soft, alluring voice reached his ear. "Husband, have you missed me during this time?" "Yuniang!" Su Mo's eyes lit up with surprise, and he sheathed his sword before heading indoors. Yu Luoniang materialized into her human form, a striking beauty of captivating grace throwing herself into Su Mo's embrace. The intoxicating fragrance filled the air as Su Mo gazed upon the enchanting beauty in his arms, whose eyes were flirtatious and stunningly pure. Already beyond restraint, he could only respond to her provocations. "Do you desire my great righteous energy pill?" Yu Luoniang's shy and demure gaze was hypnotically moist, and her cherry-red lips were enticingly inviting. "I do." "I think of it every day." "I want your great righteous energy pill..." ... ... ... The sunset-colored light bathed a room with its glow. On the bed. Su Mo held Yu Luoniang as they rested. Yu Luoniang's long, graceful legs were intertwined like a beguiling serpent tail, gently curved. She playfully traced circles on Su Mo's chest with her finger. "Husband, I haven't seen you for many days, yet your prowess continues to amaze." "My palace almost couldn't bear it." In a state of post-exhaustion reflection, Su Mo returned his attention to Yu Luoniang. "Did you retrieve your artifact on this trip to Great Zhou?" Yu Luoniang nodded. "Not only did I reclaim it, but I also brought back centuries' worth of my savings." "Husband, you must never leave me, for I am now firmly bound to you." With a soft sigh, Yu Luoniang continued. Over the centuries, she had seen countless tales of star-crossed lovers. She understood that most men in the world lacked compassion, and she could only hope that Su Mo was an exception. Seeing this, Su Mo hurriedly embraced Yu Luoniang again. "No way, I love you dearly." He then planted a loving kiss on her cheek. Yu Luoniang beamed with joy. "Husband, should we use the Net of Seven Emotions and Six Desires now?" "If I activate it fully, I can at least increase your sense of justice tenfold." "But it will only last three hours, after which my demon power will be depleted." Su Mo pondered this and nodded. "Yes." "A tenfold increase in my sense of justice will enhance the power of my Fiery Sun Righteous Energy tenfold as well." "In those three hours, I plan to inscribe characters all over this estate." "Alright, husband." After speaking, Yu Luoniang pulled out a small net. The webbing was extremely fine, appearing fragile and delicate. Yet, it was a mystical artifact refined by Yu Luoniang over six hundred years with her life force, possessing uniquely powerful capabilities. Dress secured, Yu Luoniang transformed again, this time appearing as a jade-white spider, settling atop Su Mo's head. "I'll begin." "Don't resist, husband." "Alright!" With these words, Yu Luoniang started manipulating Su Mo's emotions with the Net of Seven Emotions and Six Desires. In an instant. Su Mo felt the sense of justice within him magnify continuously, his righteous thoughts expanding exponentially. The remnants of evil thoughts, lust, and greed were all but eradicated. Simultaneously. The Fiery Sun Righteous Energy responded, evolving from golden-red to a pure gold hue. It coursed through Su Mo's meridians with invigorating energy. Driven, Su Mo donned his attire and seized the True Martial Sword, stepping into the courtyard. On each stone slab of the courtyard, he inscribed characters with cutting precision. A series of characters for attack, suppression, defense, sealing, and immobilizing appeared on every stone slab. The residence had three courtyards. Each area, from the rear courtyard to the inner and outer ones, and places like the rock garden, east and west wings, main hall, and entrance gate, had these righteous characters embedded on the slabs. While inscribing, Su Mo silently recited a whitelist of names to ensure Bai Suzhen, Yu Luoniang, and Xiao Qing were not affected. With the final stroke on the front courtyard stone slab, Su Mo, drenched in sweat, collapsed onto the doorstep, panting heavily. "Exhausted, thoroughly exhausted." Hearing Su Mo, Yu Luoniang swiftly halted her influence. The tenfold amplified sense of justice dissipated swiftly, and Su Mo returned to his naturally materialistic and indulgent self. "Yuniang, your Net of Seven Emotions and Six Desires is truly imposing; it felt like I became an entirely different person." Yu Luoniang offered soothing words. "Husband, don't dwell on it. It's only temporary." "To fundamentally change a person's nature is near impossible, save through rebirth." "Of course, husband, if I could use a nation's power to refine this net, perhaps it would completely alter someone's character." "But personality is destiny, and altering it for another is a burden of causality I cannot bear." Su Mo nodded in agreement. "You're right." "But I believe that those who seek my life now won't find it so simple to achieve." "Indeed, husband!" Yu Luoniang's tone shifted to admiration. "You cannot imagine—the power I sensed within the characters you've inscribed is extraordinary." "Perhaps ordinary people and martial artists would remain unaffected, but for cultivators, it's their very bane!" "The attack character assaults, suppression restrains, defense shields, sealing converts energy, immobilization roots them." "Even immortals from the Celestial Realm of a hundred tribulations couldn't simply leave unscathed." "If still insecure, husband, I can watch over the city gate day and night, seeing when they come." Su Mo shook his head immediately. "That would ache my heart." "Oh, the six-winged centipede you caught before leaving has absorbed my Fiery Sun Righteous Energy, establishing a link with me." "It feels like part of me now, its senses are mine." Yu Luoniang expressed mild surprise. "That's fascinating." As they spoke, Su Mo summoned the six-winged centipede, demonstrating its movement effortlessly. The shimmering centipede rolled like a scintillating golden serpent. Yu Luoniang had never encountered such a situation and offered no advice, remaining atop Su Mo's head. "It's likely because this centipede, as an extraordinary treasure of heaven and earth, is devoid of sentience, comparable to machinery in essence." "Now occupied by you, husband, it's become your exclusive embodiment." "This really is intriguing." "I'm curious if it could learn demon clan secret arts, if capable of cultivation it would be a great asset." Encouraged, Su Mo felt intrigued. He possessed both the White Sun True Scripture and the Blood God Technique; the latter he vowed never to practice. Yet, what if the six-winged centipede cultivated the Blood God Technique? The centipede lacked sentience, and the technique was simple, only requiring the consumption of life essences to advance without affecting the mind. This centipede might indeed become an invaluable ally. However, currently, there were no life essences available for the centipede to consume. This would need patience, awaiting those who sought his life—its ideal sustenance. These thoughts Su Mo kept to himself. The Blood God Technique carried significant implications, and he had no intention of revealing it to anyone. At that moment. Xu Miaoyin returned from the General's Manor with Kong Bing. After conversing with Huang Qingwan and Guo Lin, Kong Bing's curiosity towards Su Mo heightened immensely. Previously, Su Mo seemed to her merely a handsome yet not particularly virtuous gentleman. What qualities could yield him such admiration from numerous beautiful women? With such thoughts, Kong Bing noticed Su Mo sitting on the doorstep. He appeared to be drenched, perhaps from intense exertion. As she approached the residence. Kong Bing gradually perceived the entire estate enveloped in a gentle shroud of golden light, resembling a sanctified glow. Unsure of what had transpired, such a significant change had unfolded. Xu Miaoyin noticed Su Mo leaning against the doorstep and quickly rushed forward. "Husband, what's wrong?" "You look utterly drained." Su Mo shook his head and remained silent, instead pointing to the ground within the courtyard. On each slab of stone, different characters had been intricately inscribed with a sword, creating a rather majestic display. "Husband, what prompted you to carve these characters?" At this point, Xu Miaoyin was unaware of the crisis Su Mo faced, filled only with curiosity. Su Mo responded. "I felt a breakthrough in my martial arts, and it was a spur-of-the-moment inspiration." "Come, take a look." "See the changes in the courtyard." With that, Su Mo stood up and led Xu Miaoyin into the courtyard. As she stepped inside, Xu Miaoyin perceived a warm, peculiar power nourishing her meridians. It was reminiscent of the liquid righteous energy pill Su Mo provided, only much weaker. Kong Bing also followed them inside at this moment. Upon entering, her eyes filled with astonishment. "How can this be!" "I feel as if the circulation of my Divine Detective Sect's mental practice has accelerated." "If one were to train here, the speed would be multiple times faster than elsewhere." "Su... Su Mo, where did you learn this method?" Su Mo chuckled and remained enigmatic. "Don't worry about that." "Aren't you hungry? I'll prepare something for you all." With those words, Su Mo headed to the kitchen. Kong Bing, unwilling to waste the opportunity, went to the guest room Xu Miaoyin had arranged for her to start cultivating. ... Meanwhile, a streak of light approached from afar. Upon closer inspection, it was Yunluo Daoist Nun from Emei. Her eyes were filled with stern determination, clutching a golden flying needle. Since losing the six-winged golden centipede, she had not stopped plotting her revenge, even for a moment. Upon informing her master Chongxu about the matter, Chongxu sought the Fire Taoist for the loan of one hundred Solar Divine Needles. The Solar Divine Needles were forged from sun essence, capable of expanding or contracting at will. Once released, they could obliterate everything within a radius of several dozen zhang. It could perfectly annihilate that rogue's estate, completing the task and earning rewards from the sect! Achieving both, why not delight in it? (End of the Chapter)
