Chapter 87

Arriving at Yang Chen’s courtyard, seeing Yang Chen’s tall and extraordinary figure, Xu Qingxuan’s eyes filled with admiration.

“Your Holiness, you are back!”  Xu Qingxuan said softly, her voice pure and elegant.

“Hmm!” Yang Chen nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Junior Sister Xu, your Phoenix bloodline has awakened?” Yang Chen had fused with the Divine Dragon’s spine and absorbed the Liyang royal family’s Dragon of Fortune.

His sensitivity to the Phoenix bloodline was sharp.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingxuan took two steps forward.

“Thanks to you, His Holiness! The dreadful dragon aura you emitted that day covered the entire Capital! Qingxuan’s Ice Phoenix bloodline was stimulated and awakened!”

“Is that so?” Yang Chen nodded.

“That was a stroke of luck! But it’s good. It’s an opportunity for you! The Ice Phoenix bloodline originates from the City of Ice and Snow. Although many possess this bloodline, very few can awaken it! Once the Ice Phoenix bloodline awakens, as long as you don’t fall early, reaching the Soul Transformation realm in cultivation shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Junior Sister Xu, your future is limitless!”

Hearing Yang Chen’s praise, Xu Qingxuan felt a bit delighted.

His Holiness had a high opinion of her.

“Qingxuan wouldn’t be where she is today without His Holiness! Otherwise, Qingxuan might never have awaken the Ice Phoenix bloodline in her lifetime!”

Thinking of her father’s instructions, Xu Qingxuan gathered her courage and walked to Yang Chen’s side. Then, she picked up a cup of tea and poured it for him.

Her fragrance permeated Yang Chen’s nose.

“So fragrant!” Yang Chen sniffed lightly and blurted out.

Xu Qingxuan’s cheeks flushed instantly.

Her heartbeat quickened.

“His Holiness, I obtained a cultivation method a few days ago! I want to offer it to you!” Xu Qingxuan mustered her courage.

Then she took out the jade slip Li Hao had given her.

“A cultivation method?”

Yang Chen was taken aback, accepting the jade slip.

“His Holiness, this cultivation method was found during my exploration of a secret realm! The techniques recorded inside are quite profound, with many parts Qingxuan can’t comprehend! His Holiness, with your vast knowledge, why don’t you take a look?”

“Is that so?” Yang Chen became interested.

Xu Qingxuan was the heroine meant for Li Hao, the son of destiny. Her luck wasn’t just for show. The mysterious cultivation method she obtained should originally belong to Li Hao in the storyline. Regardless of the method’s quality, it could definitely provide some points.

Yang Chen was full of anticipation, focusing his mind on the jade slip.

But soon, his brows furrowed.

“Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method?”

Yang Chen was confused.

This is a dual cultivation method!

Although profound, Xu Qingxuan giving this to him, did she want to dual cultivate with him?

This method required specific conditions, and they both met them.

He had the Divine Dragon’s spine.

She had the Ice Phoenix bloodline.

Yang Chen’s gaze became playful.

At this moment, Li Hao arrived at the State Preceptor’s Mansion.

“Li Hao? No, Your Majesty!”

The disciples of the State Preceptor’s Mansion, though disdainful, remembered that this guy was personally designated by His Holiness to inherit the throne of Liyang Kingdom.

So they bowed respectfully.

“Hmph!” Li Hao glanced at the disciple, his anger rising.

This guy was the one Yang Chen forced him to kneel to.

The thought of bowing three times to this waste, became an indelible shame.

Li Hao wanted to kill him.

But he knew his current situation.

So he said coldly: “I’m looking for Fairy Qingxuan. Go inform her.”

“Senior Sister Qingxuan?” The disciple was stunned, then said: “Senior Sister Qingxuan is with His Holiness! Your Majesty, perhaps you should come another day!”

“What?” Li Hao’s fists clenched.

Damn it.

Yang Chen, that bastard.

He was with his mother last night, and now he was harassing his fiancée.

Damn.

Shameless scoundrel!

Qingxuan belongs to me!

“Where is Yang Chen? Take me to him!”

“This?” The disciple hesitated.

“I am the King of Liyang!”

“Yang Chen said I could see him anytime!” Li Hao said fiercely.

“Is that so?”

The disciple pondered for a moment, then said: “Alright!”

“I’ll take you there!”

At this moment, In the courtyard, Xu Qingxuan stood before Yang Chen, her cheeks flushed.

Her hands twisted the hem of her dress, her heart in a flurry.

“Junior Sister Xu, giving me this Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cultivation Method, do you want me to cultivate it too?”

Yang Chen asked, a playful look in his eyes.

Xu Qingxuan trembled, her cheeks burning.

Your Holiness, why did you say it out loud?

So embarrassing!

Xu Qingxuan felt her neck heating up, wanting to run away.

But remembering her father’s words, she suppressed her shyness and said: “His Holiness!”

“Qingxuan has the Ice Phoenix bloodline, so I want to ask you to cultivate this method with me for mutual improvement! So, Your Holiness, please help me!”

After speaking, Xu Qingxuan hastily bowed. But this scene stunned Yang Chen.

Oh my, such fervent enthusiasm. This woman knew how to play! But, the roles should be reversed for better results.

***

Yang Chen looked at Xu Qingxuan standing before him.

She was dressed in a waist-cinching gauze skirt, her waist so slender it seemed as though it could break with a gentle squeeze. Perhaps due to her young age, Xu Qingxuan’s waist was extremely thin. However, above her waist, there was an impressive grandeur that could only make one marvel at the creator’s wonder. How could something so slender bear such abundant fruits, defying gravity?

Since awakening her Ice Phoenix bloodline, Xu Qingxuan naturally exuded a cold and noble aura. Yet, when facing him, her cheeks were flushed crimson. This aura, however, invisibly emanated, invoking an urge to conquer her. Especially since she was the fiancée of his stepson, Hao’er.

Yang Chen sighed as he thought about this. If Hao’er knew about this, he would surely despise him.

“Junior Sister Xu, your words put me in a difficult position,” Yang Chen sighed.

Xu Qingxuan immediately tensed up and hurriedly said, “His Holiness, did I say something inappropriate? I was just too nervous! If I have offended you, please do not hold it against me!” Saying this, she knelt down.

Yang Chen’s words had startled her, making her pause and reflect on what she had just said. She had asked him to practice a cultivation technique together for mutual improvement. On second thought, her words did seem somewhat inappropriate. Was His Holiness displeased with that?

“Oh no, what should I do? How could I have spoken to His Holiness in such a tone?” she fretted inwardly.

“Junior Sister Xu, what are you doing?” Yang Chen quickly stepped forward and helped her up by her soft shoulders. Instantly, a cool sensation spread through his hand, followed by a dragon’s roar echoing within him.

Roar!

The dragon’s roar carried a powerful pressure, causing Xu Qingxuan to tremble slightly. A blue phoenix’s shadow appeared faintly on her back.

“So sensitive?” Yang Chen was a bit surprised. Just a brief touch had caused such a reaction. If they practiced the dual cultivation technique, wouldn’t they ascend to ecstasy instantly? Experiencing too much pleasure too quickly might not be good.
