Chapter 520: Chapter 389 Shocking the World, Hidden Dragon Ascends to the Top!

Chen Yuan and Shen Yanshu had not seen each other for almost half a year. They had actually missed each other in the meantime. At first, Chen Yuan indeed left for the sake of cultivation, but can someone be completely devoid of feelings?

At least when Miss Shen sincerely treated him well, Chen Yuan would absolutely not let her down.

When they shared their feelings, there was no sense of strangeness between them. Shen Yanshu told Chen Yuan about what she had seen and heard within the Goddess Palace during this time.

Su, the senior, had told her before that to be worthy of Chen Yuan, she had to make herself better.

Shen Yanshu had been working hard.

Her talents were extraordinary in their own right, possessing a Spiritual Body, just that the Shen Family of Nanling Prefecture did not have the resources to cultivate her. However, things were different after she arrived at the Goddess Palace.

There innumerable strong individuals, and as she was a disciple of the Great Elder’s lineage, many senior sisters and elders were there to give her guidance. In just short of half a year’s time, she had reached the peak of Gang Condensation.

Her progress in cultivation was undeniably fast.

Apart from Chen Yuan, a devil with his exceptional capabilities, Shen Yanshu’s rate of cultivation was also nearing the first rank of genius within Jianghu, and her senior sister Yu Qingyan took especially good care of her.

This included guidance in cultivation techniques, martial arts, and so on.

It can be said that Shen Yanshu was very comfortable and gained greatly from her time in the Goddess Palace.

After all, before meeting Chen Yuan, her goal was also to pursue martial arts, and senior sister Yu Qingyan was someone she once dreamed of becoming.

Chen Yuan listened quietly to Shen Yanshu speak.

He knew that she wanted to tell him everything about herself, to ensure he wouldn’t worry or be concerned.

It had to be said, Shen Yanshu’s place in Chen Yuan’s heart was still first, even Lady Xu couldn’t compare, and Shen Yanshu was also an intelligent person.

She clearly knew her place and never overstepped.

“I’ve finished speaking,”

Shen Yanshu said with a light laugh.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yuan said,

“Before I left Nanling Prefecture, I had already told Zhang Xuan to take extra care of the Shen Family.”

This statement was true.

Before leaving, he had a drink with Zhang Xuan and mentioned these matters. Regardless, the relationship between him and Shen Yanshu was not ordinary,

and he could help within his capabilities.

“Then Yanshu thanks you on behalf of the Shen Family,”

“Just talking isn’t enough.”

Shen Yanshu pursed her lips with a smile and glanced at him:

“Then how would you like me to repay you? Offering myself to you isn’t out of the question.”

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then said solemnly, “Offering yourself isn’t appropriate, after all, I only mentioned it to Brother Zhang, which doesn’t count as a big deal, so just a verbal reward will do.”

Shen Yanshu’s brows furrowed at first, seemingly puzzled, but after looking closely at Chen Yuan, she seemed to grasp the meaning of his words and laughed softly, nodding:

“Alright…”

…

…

As he gently stroked Miss Shen’s long hair, Chen Yuan briefly told her about his recent experiences, starting with how he had offended Gu Hao upon entering the Secret Realm…

Luckily, the Golden Envoy Jiang He intervened, saving him from an ambush by the Core Realm Grandmaster.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanshu felt uneasy, as if she were on a roller coaster, her heart fluctuating with the soaring ups and plunging downs, inevitably worrying about Chen Yuan.

Indeed, acquiring anything of significance requires an equal price to be paid.

Chen Yuan must have endured great hardships to reach this point on the strength of his own abilities.

Afterward, Chen Yuan talked about being tasked with going to Tangshan Prefecture, battling the Vegetable Knife Gang, killing Tangshan Qing, the Green Envoy, and eliminating Tangshan’s martial community. The story was told in simple terms,

but Shen Yanshu could still sense the dangers lurking within the tale of strife.

Sweeping through a whole prefecture of Jianghu, one could imagine the perils just by listening.

It’s worth mentioning that at that time, Chen Yuan had not yet reached the Reach Profound Late Stage, so one can imagine the difficulties he faced.

After leaving Tangshan Prefecture, he was ordered to Guangling Prefecture to eliminate Zhao Hao. During this mission, he fought Grandmaster Bai Changqing of Shushan to a draw and later made acquaintance with Shangguan Yu, the legitimate heir of the Shangguan Clan.

From his lips, Chen Yuan learned of the impending Divine Weapon Conference to be held by Hidden Soldier Valley. He then led Yue Shan and several others to the valley, overcoming countless hardships to eliminate Yun Han,

and finally acquired a well-suited Divine Weapon.

Of course, when speaking about the Hidden Soldier Valley affair, Chen Yuan did not hide anything. He revealed his situation with Lady Xu, not wanting women’s affairs to cause conflict in the future.

He did not have the time, energy, nor the interest to deal with such trivial matters.

If she could not accept it, he would not force her.

Shen Yanshu’s body tensed, she lifted her head, and a hint of panic flashed through her eyes. The reason for her surging cultivation over the past half year was that she had devoted herself entirely to her training.

Her awareness of Chen Yuan was not meticulous, and besides, no one publicized it. Consequently, only the inner circle knew that Lady Xu had submitted to Chen Yuan. Serendipitously hearing this revelation, her heart jolted as if something precious had been stolen.

Even if she had been prepared for this, when faced with accepting it, she still couldn’t help feeling a bit flustered. She gently flicked a strand of hair from her cheek and forced a smile:

“Lady Xu… where is she now?”

Despite some reluctance, Chen Yuan still told the truth:

“She is in Tangshan Prefecture, overseeing matters for me.”

“Is she very beautiful?”

“Once Shuzhou’s foremost beauty.”

A trace of melancholy flashed in Shen Yanshu’s eyes.

“However, she is almost on par with you.” Chen Yuan then added.
