Chapter 971: Chapter 969: Devastating Physical and Mental Health

As their battle reached halfway, Bai Yulian darted in.

"Why have you come?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Bai Yulian’s appearance, startled.

"How could I miss out when you’re all having so much fun?"

Bai Yulian smiled seductively and snuggled up to him.

While Xiao Yifeng was having a great time, far away in the northern part of China, in Jinling,

Inside the top clan of Jinling, the Yaaan Family, the atmosphere in the great hall was somewhat heavy.

A woman clad in a floral dress sat in the seat of honor, looking down from above with an air of authority, flanked by two young women standing on either side.

Meanwhile, Yaaan Family Patriarch Yan Cheng stood to the side, his expression solemn and silent.

At that moment, Yan Ru Yu slowly walked in and, seeing the woman seated in the place of honor, bowed and said, "Ru Yu pays her respects to Elder Hua!"

"Ru Yu, the Valley Master has ordered you to bring your four maids from the Four Seasons to the valley right away, to undergo the stimulation of your charming bodies for the Young Master’s cultivation!" the woman said softly.

A strange look flickered in Yan Ru Yu’s eyes as she bowed and said, "Ru Yu understands, but, may I ask Elder Hua to give Ru Yu a few more days to settle my family’s affairs, so that I can return to the valley with peace of mind?"

"You may, but remember, the Valley Master has nurtured you for so long just for this moment. If you harbor any other thoughts or ideas, not only you but your entire Yaaan Family will face a catastrophe with no chance of survival. You ought to know the power of Wanhua Valley," the woman spoke with an icy tone.

"Understood, Ru Yu dares not have any other thoughts or ideas!" Yan Ru Yu said gravely.

"Good, make the arrangements quickly and follow me back to the valley," the woman continued and then left with the several women by her side.

"Ru Yu, do you really have to return to Wanhua Valley? That’s..."

Yan Cheng looked at Yan Ru Yu with a troubled expression.

"There are no other choices now. Who asked for me to have this kind of physique? It’s already been destined, and my fate is just so. As long as you and the Yaaan Family are safe, father, that’s enough," Yan Ru Yu said lightly.

"Ah, it’s all my lack of ability as a father. You have developed the Yaaan Clan so greatly over these years, and yet at this moment, I, as a father, can’t help you and have become your burden," Yan Cheng said with a guilty face.

"Father, you don’t need to feel this way. You are my father, without you, there would be no me. What I have done is worthwhile," Yan Ru Yu assured Yan Cheng earnestly.

"How about I go to Yanjing and ask for Dragon Soul’s help, to plead for their intervention? After all, the Yaaan Family is also a great clan in China. If I personally make the request, they should help," Yan Cheng suggested.

"It’s useless, father. Even if they intervened and temporarily saved us, given Wanhua Valley’s power, they could erase the Yaaan Family from this world at any time. Dragon Soul can’t protect us forever," Yan Ru Yu said, shaking her head.

"Ah..."

Yan Cheng heaved a deep sigh.

The next day, sunlight streamed into Xiao Yifeng’s room, making the entire room appear incredibly messy, the air still thick with the scent of hormones.

However, only Xiao Yifeng was sleeping there, as the two women had long been gone.

It took half the day for Xiao Yifeng to finally wake up; that battle had really worn him out, and it was all thanks to his robust physique that he could handle it.

Stepping out of the room, Xiao Yifeng saw Ye Yashi with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.

"Hey, Yashi, why such big dark circles?" Xiao Yifeng asked, puzzled.

"It’s because of you guys! Couldn’t you have kept it down last night? Other people live in this villa, too. Do you not want anyone else to sleep? You’re destroying my physical and mental health!" Ye Yashi looked at Xiao Yifeng with a gaze full of silent complaints.

"That’s... surely it’s not that exaggerated. The soundproofing in this villa is too poor. I’ll have to complain to them about it another day!" Xiao Yifeng said awkwardly, scratching his head.

Then, Xiao Yifeng saw Bai Yulan, who also looked like she hadn’t slept well, obviously affected by Xiao Yifeng’s nocturnal activities, though she didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, Bai Yulian sat there radiantly, eating away without showing any signs of tiredness, her face glowing with a contented look.

"Not bad, both of you have improved your strengths quite quickly!" Xiao Yifeng spotted Tian Tu and Jian Yun. After a night of refining and cultivating, they had completely absorbed the power from the stalactites, and both had made significant increases in strength.

Jian Yun had broken through from the Half-Step Saint Realm straight into the late stage of the Entering Saint Realm, while Tian Tu had surged all the way to the very peak of the Entering Saint Realm, both experiencing leaps and bounds in their growth.

Seeing such a massive increase in their strength, Xiao Yifeng also wore a face of envy.

After taking two drops of the Thousand-Year Stalactites, he had only managed to break through to the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. Compared to them, he still had quite a gap.

However, this was because most of the power Xiao Yifeng gained from consuming the stalactites had been expended in opening his Sixth Major Acupoint and refining his body. The energy he had absorbed to improve his realm wasn’t much.

Opening the Nine Great Apertures and refining the body both required a massive amount of energy, which resulted in the slow progression of Xiao Yifeng’s strength.

Fortunately, Xiao Yifeng’s combat abilities were incredibly formidable now, and with numerous trump cards up his sleeve, even though he was only at the Qi Condensation Realm, his fighting prowess was already comparable to the top experts of the Entering Saint Realm.

Once Xiao Yifeng broke through to the Entering Saint Realm, he would undoubtedly become an invincible presence within the Saint Realm.

After breakfast, Xiao Yifeng received a call from Sunx Ziyun and headed to Sunx Corporation.

Arriving at Sunx Corporation, Sunx Ziyun’s secretary appeared and led him straight to Sunx Ziyun’s office.

Walking into the office, Sunx Ziyun was reviewing something, her face bursting with joy.

"What’s up? You seem really happy," Xiao Yifeng walked over and said to Sunx Ziyun.

"You are here! The formula you gave me yesterday—I had the lab staff work overtime to produce an experimental sample. After testing it, we found that the product is indeed dozens of times more effective than other similar products. It’s a tremendous breakthrough," Sunx Ziyun said excitedly, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new world.

"Now you believe me, right? I told you this thing would be stronger than the other products, and indeed it is. Have I, Xiao Yifeng, ever offered anything subpar?" Xiao Yifeng said with a smile on his face, his expression slightly smug.
