Chapter 2576: Chapter 2266: Lu Chen Is Very Gentle to Me
Upon hearing her younger sister’s words, Liu Qingyun momentarily didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t exactly tell her that she could sense what she and Lu Chen were doing, could she?
Liu Qingyun responded indifferently, "I’m fine. I’ve absorbed too much spiritual evil recently; a little rest will do."
Changing the subject, Liu Qingyun asked, "Why are you back? Lu Chen didn’t take you with him?"
Liu Qingqiu replied, "He’s still in Spirit Hill City and hasn’t left."
Liu Qingqiu walked up to Liu Qingyun then, who observed her sister Liu Qingqiu closely. At this moment, Liu Qingqiu appeared radiant and glowing, with a noticeably altered aura.
Liu Qingyun wanted to ask something, but the words stuck in her throat, hesitant to speak.
Sensing that Liu Qingyun wanted to say something, Liu Qingqiu proactively said, "Sister, is there something you want to ask me?"
Liu Qingyun, looking worried, asked, "Has Lu Chen mistreated you, sister?"
After she asked this, Liu Qingyun herself felt a bit strange.
Liu Qingqiu also didn’t know how to answer this question.
Mistreatment? She herself was a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist, and Lu Chen’s tricks meant nothing to her; she felt fine.
Yet, in terms of mistreatment? Lu Chen was indeed a bit violent and fierce. Thinking about being under his control, that pleasure from the heart made her blush slightly. She then answered, "No, Lu Chen has been very gentle."
Hearing Liu Qingqiu’s reply, Liu Qingyun fell silent for a moment.
Gentle? Hardly.
That dog of a man treated her like an animal, yet her sister said he was gentle.
Then again, as her sister was a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist, so long as Lu Chen wasn’t physically violent, it didn’t count as mistreatment.
With the physique of a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist, as long as Lu Chen didn’t use spiritual evil, she could handle whatever he did.
But doing so, psychologically, her sister might find it hard to endure.
After all, being treated as a plaything and a tool, is surely distressing.
Then Liu Qingqiu took Liu Qingyun’s hand and said, "Don’t worry, sister. I don’t think Lu Chen is a bad person."
"Although Lu Chen has been with me these past few days, what we’ve done is within the realm of normal husband and wife, and he hasn’t done anything inappropriate."
Seeing her sister speak like this, Liu Qingyun felt pained. She thought her sister was trying to reassure her, not to worry.
Liu Qingyun said, "I understand, but be cautious with him, especially when you get to the Capital City. If he plans to take you to meet that Deceit Saint, flee the Capital City immediately."
Despite signals hinting that the Deceit Saint might not shelter humans for blood meals, one cannot be too cautious against deceit.
Liu Qingqiu said, "Okay, sister, I understand."
Liu Qingyun wanted to say more, but suddenly an overwhelming pressure was emitted from the City Lord’s Mansion, felt throughout Spirit Hill City and even the Border Wilderness.
Liu Qingqiu and Liu Qingyun were unable to straighten up under this pressure.
Liu Qingyun gritted her teeth, clenching her Jade Fist, and said, "He’s broken through."
Though unclear of Lu Chen’s realm, given such terrifying pressure, it’s at least above the Saint Realm.
Already at Saint Realm, breaking through, whether it’s a small or large realm, his strength would greatly increase.
Thinking of Lu Chen becoming stronger, Liu Qingyun felt a mix of emotions inside.
If protected by a powerful entity, it’s naturally the best.
The stronger Lu Chen is, the safer their Liu Family is, and they’d develop faster in the Border Wilderness.
But the issue is, her sister traded her body for all this.
Her sister was merely a concubine by Lu Chen’s side.
A powerful man will attract more women. Adding that Lu Chen himself is lustful, who knows how many beauties would surround him in the future?
Her sister would have no status by his side, possibly just a plaything.
But the greatest benefit is, Lu Chen has reached the Saint Realm, granting him the strength to contend with the Deceit Saint.
No matter the Deceit Saint’s intentions, Lu Chen could now afford to face off against him.
If the Deceit Saint wished to devour all humans in the Border Wilderness, Lu Chen certainly won’t allow it.
Now the safety of the Border Wilderness shouldn’t be a problem, unless a larger Deceit Tide emerges.
Meanwhile, in a Cultivation Room of the City Lord’s Mansion in Spirit Hill City, Lu Chen was covered in blood marks, blood aura emanating, showing pain on his face.
He now felt as if his flesh was being torn apart, too painful for words.
He anticipated the pain of merging the Undying Blood, but not this level; he almost fainted from pain.
Fortunately, he broke through. As the aura on his body gradually dispersed, the pain within him slowly faded.
Feeling his mid-stage Saint Realm cultivation, Lu Chen exhaled deeply; it was finally over. If he hadn’t broken through, he might truly black out from pain.
Lu Chen stood up, adjusted his breath, and withdrew his pressure.
This time he only broke through a small realm, but even such a breakthrough marked a noticeable increase in strength, and his perception of the world became clearer.
Even without deliberately using Divine Sense to probe this world, he could sense happenings around him.
Lu Chen thought to himself, it seems that as a Spirit Martial Artist’s realm improves, body strengthening fortifies the Divine Soul.
Strictly speaking, the body’s strengthening provided the basis for the Divine Soul’s growth.
Typically, without a vessel, the Divine Soul would be very weak.
This world’s path involved first using spiritual evil to enhance the body, then nourish the soul.
Lu Chen didn’t dwell on this; having broken through, he should set off to inspect other cities.
He exited the Cultivation Room and said to a maid in the City Lord’s Mansion, "When Qingqiu returns, tell her I’m heading to inspect other cities. Let her stay at the Liu Family for a few more days; I’ll come to pick her up later."
The maid respectfully replied, "Yes, Regent King."
Lu Chen then leaped up and headed toward the nearby border city.
Liu Qingqiu stayed at the Liu Family for half a day. She initially intended to stay longer, thinking Lu Chen had just broken through and would stay in the Cultivation Room to stabilize his realm. She thought she could spend more time with her sister.
But Liu Qingyun insisted she return to the City Lord’s Mansion as her sister just married Lu Chen. If she remained away from him for too long, it might anger Lu Chen.
Although she didn’t want her sister with Lu Chen, the marriage had happened, so there was nothing to be done.
When Liu Qingqiu returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, a maid told her Lu Chen had already left and wanted her to return to the Liu Family.
This surprised Liu Qingqiu. Lu Chen had just broken through, yet he hurriedly left. Could it be something urgent?
However, she didn’t dwell on this further, as Lu Chen suggested she spend more time with the Liu Family, hence she did as instructed.
