Chen and Ah Yin followed Caihong. Their destination didn't seem too far since Caihong returned a little quicker than before. The duo easily traversed the terrain. Chen's proficiency in Storm Steps was already great and he had enough handle on Grace and Disgrace forms. All that was left is to combine the two and reach the third level of the technique. In this month, he also completely enhanced his palms according to level 2 of gentle palm techniques, increasing his combat prowess by a notch.'I'm finally outside...' Chen took a deep breath and began cultivating the Fiery Golden Pupils. This is the only technique he hadn't cultivated seriously because he locked himself in a natural basement.The cultivation of Fiery Golden Pupils was extremely plain and continuous. The technique demanded the user to absorb unrefined yang energy during the day and let it slowly refine the eyes instead of using the eyes to refine energy. The cultivation of this technique is extremely painful. It makes the

"We couldn't find a spirit beast today," Chen sighed and leaned against a crystal. The owls finally woke up as they felt to get a breath of fresh air. Meanwhile, Ah Yin stood over an edge of the crystal."What do you think would have happened if Violet was taken away?" She inquired with a curious tone as Chen shrugged."The best-case scenario would be being sold to a pervert.""Why is that the best case?" Ah Yin tilted her head."Think about it. Any moralistic individual who tries to save her will have enough enemies despite his or her background. Meanwhile, rich perverts often tend to have higher connections. While Violet may be sexually abused due to her exotic appearance in the latter, if she happens to fall in the arms of a just individual... hehe, would it be any different? She is still sold. If not sexually, then she would be used in other manners.""Falling in the hands of a spirit master curious about her nature rather than appearance. He may perform tests on her which may bre

"Ugghh!" With a groan, a black-haired woman wearing crimson battle robes slowly opened her eyes. Head splitting ache ravaged her thoughts as she clutched her head while her body shuddered. With Chen's mental energy being at the level comparable to an ordinary Spirit Emperor, the woman clearly had no chance.Her blurred vision slowly cleared and the woman hurriedly stood up despite the head rush. Looking around cautiously, she failed to find the rare spirit beast and the terrifying assaulter that suddenly attacked her."I'll kill them!" She gritted her teeth and her eyes reddened once again. But she needed rest and she knew it. So, with a thought, she pulled out her supply of nutrient-rich food."Hmm?" Feeling the distinct lack of reaction, she glanced towards her left middle finger and found her ring missing.Her lips trembled as she threw her head back and let out a terrifying roar!"What is this?" Violet and Chen were in Violet's hidden cave. She actually dug a cave behind a small w

"Ah Yin, have you ever heard of Conditional Spouses?" Chen mumbled idly. He wore his mask while Ah Yin enjoyed to breath without any restriction in front of her."Conditional Spouse?" Ah Yin seemed curious. Both of them sat under a tree to rest. During the noon, even if they could continue to travel, they needed appropriate rest to compensate for any sudden attack. The two owls were perched over a branch at the moment, still sleeping."Yes. It's a form of commitment to relieve oneself by two individuals who know each other rather well. The two of them don't need to hold romantic feelings for each other but in case they fail to find spouses for themselves, they promise to marry each other after a certain period of time passes and they are too old to find others."Ah Yin looked at Chen as he continued to lean against the thick trunk of the tree with his hands over the back of his head."What are you... trying to say?""Hmm, if you reach 40 years old and still haven't found a good-lookin

After setting the mission to fuse the two techniques, three days have passed, now considering that it was past midnight— four days have passed. Chen had his moment of loss in composure and every time, it will be because of an S-rank mission. If possible, he would be willing to go to the extreme to accomplish it.He could use the two techniques simultaneously, but he realized that the external and internal shock forces generated by the two techniques cancel each other out eventually. The mix of the technique was only as good as a massaging technique."Troubled?" Ah Yin didn't open her eyes. She sat on the luxurious crimson bed and inquired calmly."At least, you're progressing," Chen mumbled, slightly envious. Ah Yin did reveal the strange situation when she focused on blue silver grass. It actually refined her perception and control which assisted in gaining more control over her attacks.Opening her eyes, she looked at Chen for a moment and stood up."Let's practice. I've had enough
