Chapter 185: 119, 120. Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue, Song Cheng Swallows Su Family (Large Chapter - Asking for Subscriptions)
"Yin Residence, a dwelling of the soul, controlled by the family head, where members can enter through visualization, regardless of their location," Su Ningyu explained.
Song Cheng looked at the cramped, dark room and suddenly asked curiously, "If that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that as long as one person from the Su Family arrived somewhere, the whole family would be there?"
Su Ningyu shook her head and replied, "What are you thinking? If you enter through a certain door, you exit through the same place. Although the movement of the Divine Soul is extremely fast, it can only reach two coordinates: first, your own body; second, the path constructed by someone else’s visualization."
Song Cheng felt that there was still something off about her explanation.
After all, with his Ninefold Ghostly Tower, he just had to run to the top of the tower and leap out to allow his Divine Soul to wander outside.
He thought for a moment and then said, "But can’t you leave your body and drift around freely?"
Seeing him ask so many questions, Su Ningyu couldn’t help but laugh softly and turned to the head of the Su Family on the other side, saying, "Sister, look, he doesn’t know anything. He’s definitely not sent by any other Noble Family."
Song Cheng smiled awkwardly.
The head of the Su Family didn’t mock him but instead seriously instructed, "Song, in three days, I’ll have everyone in the Su Family come to meet you and get to know you. However, regarding the Ice Coffin, we still have to wait.
Su Houzhang hasn’t died yet, and the ties to your mortal body are still unfinished, but I promise you that the Ice Coffin will be yours."
Song Cheng said, "Thank you, Family Head."
The head of the Su Family continued, "Your mortal body is still in the mundane world, roaming around, and there are some things you can do. These tasks won’t be in vain; if there’s merit, there will be great rewards.
I heard from Ningyu that you like cultivation techniques.
So, after three days, when you formally join the Su Family, I’ll guide you and teach you what a person from a Noble Family should know. I’ll also help you choose a cultivation technique to bring out the power that the Mystic Realm should possess."
Hearing the words "cultivation technique," Song Cheng’s heart momentarily raced, so he respectfully and gratefully said, "Thank you, Family Head."
...
...
Moments later, they dispersed.
Song Cheng led the sleeping maid and the unwilling-to-leave Su Ningyu back to the An Residence.
He placed the maid in the front courtyard and instructed the steward to let her rest for a few days, giving her wages as usual, along with some extra "travel allowance."
He then led Su Ningyu toward the inner courtyard of the An Residence.
The moonlight cast a soft glow on the high walls, creating silent shadows between the stone paths.
In the past, Song Cheng wouldn’t have cared, bringing Su Ningyu to the inner courtyard was nothing, after all... he had already planned to win over this Fox Immortal, making her his stepping stone into a new world.
Now, this stepping stone indeed served its purpose, allowing him to successfully join the Su Family.
But this stepping stone was very close, yet not close enough to be "without secrets."
At the very least, he still didn’t dare let Su Ningyu discover Ting’s secret.
And as long as he brought Su Ningyu into the deep courtyard, the possibility of revealing Ting increased.
Once Su Ningyu discovered it, her sister, the head of the Su Family, would soon find out too, leading to consequences beyond his control.
So, Song Cheng suddenly stopped.
Su Ningyu, who had been happily humming a tune as she walked, instinctively stopped and smiled at him.
Song Cheng said, "I want to see you."
Su Ningyu replied, "It’s me in the Yin Residence, didn’t you see?"
Song Cheng said, "I... want to be with the real Sister Su."
Su Ningyu’s heart fluttered, saying, "It will happen.
We’re still young, and when the time is right, my true self can walk out of the coffin, then... we could spend decades having children.
By then, you can be with me every day."
Song Cheng got bold and asked directly, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law were like this too? Can I see them in three days?"
Su Ningyu nodded lightly and then, with a hint of sadness, shook her head, saying, "Many Noble Family children leave descendants this way. But my parents disappeared, and they haven’t returned for so long. That’s why my sister became the head of the Noble Family."
Song Cheng said, "Sister Su, let’s find a place to talk."
Su Ningyu, being naturally charming and of appropriate age, felt a yearning in her heart like a restless little monkey, but Song Cheng’s words made his intentions clear.
Song Cheng wanted to be with her true self, not through others.
Su Ningyu accepted this, as her pretending to be Ling and being close to Song Cheng was a spontaneous and whimsical thought back then. Now that everything was out in the open, staying close with Song Cheng using Ling’s body felt strange.
Though she preferred getting acquainted on the bed, she had no choice but to say, "Well... that’s fine."
Instead of taking her to a restaurant today, Song Cheng slipped into the dining room himself, grabbed a few chickens, and went to a lakeside where he prepared and grilled them himself.
His mastery of power and sensitivity was far superior to ordinary people, so even though he hadn’t formally studied cooking, he could replicate it quite well just by watching the process once.
