382: Chapter 366: Sister-in-law, Can You Accept This?_1 382: Chapter 366: Sister-in-law, Can You Accept This?_1 Gu Xiaorou said, “It is a tree that has countless ties with me.

I cannot explain it clearly now, but once you come with us to the Kunlun Domain, you’ll understand.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and asked, “Is this matter very urgent for you?”

Gu Xiaorou said, “As of now, it’s not very urgent.

The poison in my tree is unusual but slow-acting.

I can still hold on for some time.

Why do you ask?”

Lu Chuan explained, “You see, I currently have another very important matter to resolve that’s a matter of life and death for me, so I cannot accompany you to the Kunlun Domain just yet.”

“However, I can give you some refined Divine Fire which I’ll store using a special method.

You can take it back first and try to help that tree expel the poison and stabilize its condition for the time being.

What do you think?”

Gu Xiaorou thought for a moment and said, “That could work.

However, the poison in my tree can only be completely cleared if you go there yourself and use the Fire of Origin to help it.

Relying on refined Divine Fire can only temporarily contain the spread of the poison.

In the end, you will still have to make a trip to the Kunlun Domain.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Don’t worry about that.

As soon as I settle my affairs, I will naturally go to the Kunlun Domain to find you and fulfill my promise.”

Gu Xiaorou asked, “How long will that take?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “One year.”

Although severing the karma with the Great Elder needed to be done within three months, he was very clear that entering the Kunlun Domain wasn’t just about purging the poison from Gu Xiaorou’s tree.

He also had to investigate his father’s issue and even rely on himself to demand an explanation from the Lu family.

Therefore, before entering the Kunlun Domain, he had to enhance his strength to the level where he could face the Lu family with ease.

Though he wasn’t sure what the Kunlun Domain was like, the fact that Lu Chuan could become a legendary family there meant their strength was extraordinary.

Merely with his Golden Core 9th Cycle strength, he had no chance to contend with them.

He even suspected that even if he reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he might at best only have the strength to protect himself against the Lu family.

Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that the Lu family had not yet discovered his presence to enhance his strength.

Only by doing so could he avenge his mother and vindicate his father!

After pondering for a moment, Gu Xiaorou agreed to Lu Chuan’s request, “Alright, then I will wait for you for one year.”

Gu Xiaosang, on the other hand, said from the side, “What if you don’t come after a year?

What if you deny the agreement?

You must leave us something important as collateral to prevent you from backing out.”

Lu Chuan thought for a bit, then took out the Love Herb and handed it to Gu Xiaosang, saying, “Alright then, I’ll leave this pot of herbs with you as collateral.

This is a four-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine.

Does this show my sincerity?”

Gu Xiaosang glanced at the Love Herb and said, “That’s more like it.”

Gu Xiaorou also looked at the Love Herb.

Although she didn’t know what kind of Spiritual Medicine it was, she could feel its extraordinariness and tacitly agreed with Gu Xiaosang’s actions, as she too could not be sure whether Lu Chuan would keep his promise.

“In that case, you can rest here for another night, and I will get the refined Divine Fire ready for you tonight,” said Lu Chuan.

The two sisters nodded.

Gu Xiaosang, holding the Love Herb, huffed at Lu Chuan and then turned with Gu Xiaorou to head back to their room.

That night, in his room, Lu Chuan used a jade bottle, bound with seals, as a container, and filled it with the refined Divine Fire, making over a dozen bottles which should be enough for Gu Xiaorou to use for a year.

“Having made so many bottles, I feel like my body is being hollowed out.”

Just when he thought of taking these jade bottles filled with Divine Fire to the sisters, the door to the room opened.

Gu Xiaosang sneaked in, acting all furtive.

Lu Chuan looked at her and asked, “What are you doing?

Why are you acting like a thief?”

Gu Xiaosang replied nervously, “I…

my sister sent me to check if you were done.”

Lu Chuan pointed to the jade bottles on the table and said, “Just finished.

Good timing on your part.

Take them with you, so I don’t have to deliver them.”

Gu Xiaosang didn’t immediately reach for the bottles but bit her lip, hesitated for two seconds, and asked, “Do…

do you really think I’m a shrew?”

Lu Chuan was surprised for a moment, then stood up, walked to Gu Xiaosang, and looked her over from the left and right, saying, “Strange, how could such a question come from you?”

A touch of pride appeared on Gu Xiaosang’s face as she said, “Just answer me first, do you really think I’m a shrew?”

Lu Chuan laughed and said, “When you’re unreasonable, you are.

But normally, as long as you don’t argue with me, you do resemble a little fairy.”

Gou Xiaosang’s expression softened slightly, “That’s better.”

“Actually, I am quite gentle many times, you just haven’t noticed,” she said.

Lu Chuan stared at her curiously, then leaned closer to her and said, “Why are you suddenly telling me all this?

Could it be…

you’ve fallen for me?”

Gu Xiaosang instantly became flustered, her face flushing red as she protested, “Nonsense!

I’m just defending my reputation, that’s all!”

Lu Chuan showed a mischievous smile, lifted Gu Xiaosang’s chin with his hand, and said, “No worries.

If you like me, just say it.

I know I’m charming and dashing, and it’s only natural for you to be swept off your feet by my allure.”

Gu Xiaosang’s heartbeat quickened, her face turning even redder as she quickly pushed Lu Chuan’s hand away and said, “You…

you’re too full of yourself!

No one would like you!”

Afterwards, she hastily picked up the jade bottles from the table and fled in a panic.

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes, murmured to himself, “Something’s odd about this woman.

Despite my teasing, she didn’t hit me straight away.

That’s not like her.”

After thinking for a while, he put the matter out of his mind, “Who cares, she couldn’t possibly really like me anyway.

All I ask is for her to take good care of my Love Herb, and that she can return it to me intact after I go to the Kunlun Domain.”

The next day.

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang said goodbye to Lu Chuan and left Cloud City.

However, Lu Chuan had not yet embarked on the path of resolving the Great Elder’s cause and effect, because before that, he had another very important matter to attend to.

That was, to help Mu Nanqing separate the Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul, to thoroughly eliminate this hidden danger.

He was about to start looking for the whereabouts of the Profound Sect Leader, and with Xiu Niang inside Mu Nanqing’s body, it was like a ticking time bomb.

Even if Mu Nanqing could now suppress Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul, there was no telling when Xiu Niang might take over and control Mu Nanqing’s body.

So before he left, he had to get rid of this danger thoroughly.

He went over the ancestral memories again, to see if, after reaching the Golden Core 9th Cycle, he could suppress Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul without relying on the dragon’s yang power.

However, to his disappointment, unless he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had no other choice but to use this method.

After much deliberation, Lu Chuan finally decided to be honest with Mu Nanqing and tell her the necessary steps in the method for separating Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul, to see her reaction.

“I wonder if she’ll think I did it on purpose and consider me a pervert when she hears that I have to do that kind of thing with her to separate Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul…”

“I hope she can accept it…”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath and walked towards Mu Nanqing’s room.

The night was just beginning to fall, and the moon hung in the sky, coating everything in the courtyard with a layer of silver-white.

Lu Chuan stood in front of Mu Nanqing’s door and, after hesitating for a few seconds, finally knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Mu Nanqing, who had just taken a bath, appeared before Lu Chuan.

Her hair was dripping wet, water still trickling down, wearing only a loose white shirt as sleepwear, the proud curves stretching the fabric as if it was about to burst open.

The top two buttons of the shirt were unfastened, slightly open, giving a glimpse of the rising and falling landscape within, inadvertently catching Lu Chuan’s eye and nearly making him nosebleed.

She wore a shirt that was quite long, covering her upper thighs, leaving it a mystery whether she wore anything underneath or was au naturel.

Her two white legs came together slightly inward, her body leaning forward, and the captivating pose accelerated Lu Chuan’s heartbeat.

Mu Nanqing saw Lu Chuan gazing intently at her body, her cheeks reddened slightly, and she moved her hair behind her ears, gently asking, “Xiaochuan, is there something you need?”

Lu Chuan’s throat felt dry, he said, “Sis…

Sister-in-law, I came to discuss with you about separating Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.”

Mu Nanqing’s eyes brightened at the news and said, “Then come in and we’ll talk.”

Lu Chuan followed Mu Nanqing into the room.

Mu Nanqing closed the door and said, “Xiaochuan, have a seat.”

Lu Chuan sat down on a chair, saying, “Sister-in-law, please sit.”

Mu Nanqing felt a bit awkward and said, “I…

I’ll just stand.”

Lu Chuan was puzzled, “Why?”

Mu Nanqing with her legs tightly pressed together said, “Oh, can’t I stand if I want to?

You ask too many questions, stinky Xiaochuan.”

Lu Chuan glanced at her legs and his heart skipped a beat, wondering if she was indeed going commando under that shirt and didn’t want to reveal too much by sitting down?

“Xiaochuan, didn’t you say you had to discuss separating Xiu Niang?

What are you spacing out for?” Mu Nanqing caught Lu Chuan staring at her legs, not knowing what he was thinking, and felt a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, prompting him to focus.

Lu Chuan then returned to his senses, internally chastising himself for his thoughts and quickly said solemnly, “Sister-in-law, I’ve mastered the method to separate Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.

However…

I need you to cooperate with me on something.”

Mu Nanqing said, “What is it?

As long as it’s something Xiaochuan wants, I’ll definitely cooperate unconditionally.”

Lu Chuan coughed lightly and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t make your promises too soon, as this…

after hearing it, you might beat me up or even stop talking to me.”

Mu Nanqing’s face showed a trace of confusion and said, “What is it exactly?

Just tell me, stop beating around the bush.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and then said, “Here’s the thing, Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul is higher in realm than mine.

In order to separate her from your body, I must first suppress her, otherwise she might take the opportunity to counterattack.

And to suppress her, a certain power is needed, known as the dragon’s yang power, which I happen to have in my body.”

“But, to transfer this power into your body, there’s only one way, that is…

to make love to you.”

“Sister-in-law…

can you accept this?”

After speaking, Lu Chuan sneakily glanced at Mu Nanqing, prepared for a tirade of scolding.

But upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Mu Nanqing simply froze.
