She wore a simple, pure white gauze dress that covered her entire slender and graceful body from her fair neck to her voluptuous figure, revealing nothing to others. Only long white ribbons were attached to her back, waist, and sleeves, which were now being blown backward by the strong winds high above, making her appear ethereal and like a banished immortal.
She stood there alone, her beautiful eyes gazing at the mountains before her, her heart surging with emotion.
She stared at it for a long time until a voice came from behind her: "Miss, it's time to go back."
The woman with black hair and white clothes came to her senses and looked behind her. She saw an old woman with gray hair and a hunched figure, but dressed in a silk robe, fly to her side and say in a hoarse voice.
The woman softened her gaze and her voice, and said softly, "Yes, I know, but there's no rush. I'll watch for a while longer."
After saying that, she turned her head back to look at the mountains, her dark pupils filled with undisguised hatred: "The Yellow Python Clan, I will make them pay for their blood debt!"
The old woman frowned slightly, then softly advised, "Miss, don't forget that the Zhao royal family is willing to support us this time. Eliminating the Huang Mang family is secondary; the most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of the Jin princess!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across the woman's face, but she suppressed her emotions and nodded gently: "Yes, I know. Don't worry, I'll find a way to infiltrate Weihu Market first, get some information about that princess, and then..."
Her eyes sharpened again, and her tone became menacing: "Let the Yellow Pythons pay for their crimes in blood!"
Even though the Huang Mang family had committed countless evil deeds and aroused public outrage in both countries, in the eyes of the Zhao royal family, they were still not as threatening as the Jin royal family.
The sudden appearance of the Jin princess at the border between the two countries put the Zhao royal family on high alert. They took action, sending people to lie in wait and gather intelligence, determined to nip the threat in the bud and ensure their safety.
New variables are being injected into these unsettling mountains, and the future of this place is about to become even more turbulent.
An even greater crisis and test are about to descend, and at this moment, Yun Chuan finally achieves his breakthrough.
Inside Zhu Yunqing's cave on Huai Mountain.
On the blue stone bed, a naked man and woman embraced each other. Yun Chu'an sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, his strong body exposed without a trace of clothing. Glistening sweat slowly dripped down the edges and crevices of his muscles, and terrifying heat emanated from his body, like a huge furnace, making the entire cave warm and cozy.
In front of him, Zhu Yunqing was also completely naked, her voluptuous body pressed tightly against him, sitting on his lap, with his enormous member still inside her.
They maintained a state of dual cultivation to help him overcome this final hurdle.
Her hair was awkwardly coiled on top of her head, her pretty face was flushed, her beautiful eyes were closed, and her two arms, as white and flawless as lotus roots, were draped over his shoulders and around his neck, as if to use their strength to make their lovemaking during cultivation smoother.
They had been cultivating together for seven days and seven nights. Boundless spiritual energy resonated and washed over the cave, converging into their bodies. Following the meridians of their inner cultivation and guided by the elixir, it continuously gathered and simmered within them, until this moment—
A qualitative change has finally occurred!
Yun Chu'an could feel the spiritual energy permeating every inch of his body, from head to toe, from skin to bone marrow, from flesh to the depths of every cell, dissecting the essence of his life—
He felt that he had understood everything, recognized everything, mastered everything, and controlled everything. Now, if he were given enough spiritual power, even if someone crushed his heart, he would be confident that he could immediately create a brand new heart to fill the previous void!
He has mastered everything about himself as a life, and thus has transcended the limitations of the mundane world, ascending to a higher state, a completely new realm.
Foundation building period!
Become!
Having completed his own foundation building, Yun Chuan was now able to wield even greater power. Without the slightest delay, controlling the surging spiritual energy around him, he channeled all his power into Zhu Yunqing's body.
The golden divine lightning that cleansed the demons entered Zhu Yunqing's body, causing her bare, snow-white skin to glow with golden lightning. The spider demon's brows furrowed slightly, and a deadly chill returned to her heart, eroding her life force.
The two forces clashed within her body, and unprecedentedly, the former suppressed the latter. This was the result of Yun Chu'an's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, and also her only window of opportunity for further breakthroughs.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunqing had been preparing for this day for many years and had tried countless times—although all of these attempts failed, she was already very experienced and adept at it!
Immediately, she flicked her hand, opened her storage bag, and the mid-grade spirit stones she had accumulated over the years formed small hills around her, releasing their spiritual energy, which she then absorbed into her body.
A gentle light appeared, and the spider demon stepped into the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment more smoothly than expected.
At this point, all objectives have been achieved.
Zhu Yunqing slowly opened her eyes, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her—joy mixed with bitterness. She had previously thought she was nearing the end, casting aside all worries, wanting only to share pleasure with the man she loved, leaving no regrets. But now, having broken through her limitations, those notions of propriety and shame had returned, leaving her unsure how to face her sisters and family.
He was Seventh Sister's husband, but I married him.
Her feelings were complicated, while Yun Chu'an opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunqing with pure joy in his heart: "Fourth Sister, you've broken through?"
Zhu Yunqing turned her face away, closed her eyes, and tried to escape: "The crisis is not over yet, I... I don't have the strength right now, I can't move."
She needed time to process her feelings, and until then, she simply continued to pretend that her body was numb.
Yun Chu'an was too lazy to expose her, so she reached out and hugged her naked body, then put her down with a wicked smile: "Okay, I understand, Fourth Sister. I'll continue to take care of you for the next few days..."
Zhu Yunqing had the same idea, hoping to take the opportunity to clarify things with him, but before he could finish speaking, Hua Caiyan's voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Fourth Sister, are you in the cave?"
"Chu An has disappeared! I haven't been able to find him for the past few days!"
Chapter 280 Hua Caiyan's Suspicion
Zhu Yunqing suddenly woke up and opened her eyes.
Immediately afterward, Yun Chu'an felt a blur before his eyes, and then his entire body was flipped over. The spider demon slightly raised her hand, and he was flipped over and pinned to the ground.
He did not resist. Upon closer inspection, he saw the girl hurriedly making hand seals. Between her fingers, countless pure white spider silks gushed out and wrapped around his body, quickly forming a huge spider cocoon that completely enveloped him!
He moved his head, preparing to at least peek out, when he heard Zhu Yunqing suddenly say from outside, "Don't move, listen to me, don't make any noise!"
He stopped moving immediately, letting her trap him in the spider cocoon, motionless.
Anyway, he has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so he no longer needs to breathe. Being suffocated for a while won't cause him any major problems.
Outside, Zhu Yunqing's face was flushed, and she was naked. She was terrified. With one hand, she pulled the spider cocoon containing Yun Chu'an into the air, and with the other hand, she reached into her storage bag, took out her most worn silk coat, wrapped it around herself, and hurriedly walked outside: "I'm here, Caiyan, are you looking for Chu'an?"
At the entrance of the cave, Hua Caiyan was walking inside. She was dressed as usual, with her hair in pigtails and wearing a red dance dress. However, her delicate face was filled with worry, and her two long pigtails seemed to have lost their usual nimbleness. They no longer bounced around as they used to, and she could no longer see her usual liveliness.
She is indeed in a bad mood right now. Her lover has been missing for almost seven days. No matter how she looks for him, there is no trace of him. How can she not be worried?
She originally thought he was busy somewhere else and that she would just look for him and give him a scolding, without making a big fuss.
But after searching in vain, she had no choice but to come over and find her fourth sister, asking her to help.
When she was weak and helpless, her fourth sister, Zhu Yunqing, was still her greatest support.
She wandered pitifully through the spiderwebs in the cave. Hearing Zhu Yunqing's response, the little fox breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found her pillar of support: "Fourth Sister, at least you're still here. Chu'an is missing!"
Extremely anxious, she rushed over and, upon seeing Zhu Yunqing, threw herself into her arms, burying her face against her soft chest and wrapping her arms around her waist. Before the spider demon could speak, she rattled off everything like a machine gun: "I've searched everywhere—his workshops, Sixth Sister's place, the field mouse's place, the bear demon's and wolf demon's places, I even secretly went to the snake demon's family, but, but I can't find him anywhere..."
"Fourth Sister, where else do you think he might have gone? Could it be that he..."
Concern leads to confusion; the girl's heart was in her throat as she thought about what trouble Yun Chu'an might encounter, and she couldn't calm down.
Zhu Yunqing was speechless. She had already prepared an explanation, saying that she didn't know either, and would try to gloss over the matter for now, and then discuss a plausible reason with Yun Chuan later.
But now, seeing her fifth sister so worried, the spider demon's heart softened, and she couldn't bear to let her continue to worry: "Don't worry, he's fine, he's here with me."
Hua Caiyan suddenly paused, "Here with you? Oh, ah..."
She breathed a sigh of relief, but then, the resentment she had felt for so many days welled up inside her: "What is he doing here? He hasn't said a word to me in all these days, making me worry for so long!"
She was sulking. Zhu Yunqing looked down at her younger sister's delicate face and felt guilty thinking about how she had been sleeping with her man for the past seven days, causing her to worry so much without knowing what was going on.
She pursed her lips and continued, "I'm preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Hua Caiyan was stunned for a moment, then an indescribable tension welled up in her heart: "So fast? How long has it been since he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining? It's been less than a month..."
She was indeed a little nervous. Yun Chuan's breakthrough was so fast. If given time, wouldn't she be left far behind by him?
Zhu Yunqing put aside her distractions, maintained her acting skills, and made an expression that was both disgusted and helpless: "With that Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, he was itching to try it. I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so I let him try. Anyway, if he fails, he'll be the one who suffers."
She tried to reassure Hua Caiyan by using the illusion that "he will have to suffer the consequences of his own actions": "Anyway, he is still in seclusion here with me. I have been protecting him these past few days. He is safe, so you don't need to worry. Just go about your business. He will be able to see you again in a few days."
Hua Caiyan breathed a sigh of relief, having no doubts: "That's just how he is. He doesn't listen to advice. Even though he's so much younger than me and his cultivation is already so high, he's still in such a hurry."
Thinking of the 800,000 low-grade spirit stones burned that day, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "Oh dear, was it really worth burning so many resources for a little bit of progress?"
Zhu Yunqing nodded slightly: "Yes, that's right. Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson. Alright, alright, Fifth Sister, you can go back now."
She tried to persuade her like that, but Hua Caiyan, who had just been complaining about Yun Chuan, suddenly became quite concerned: "Um, Fourth Sister, how about you let me take a look at him?"
Her expression turned pitiful again. Seven days had passed since they last met, and she was truly missing him terribly: "I haven't seen him for seven days. I... I want to see him with my own eyes, just one more time..."
As she spoke, she took Zhu Yunqing's small hand and shook it gently, just like a child begging for candy from their parents.
Zhu Yunqing panicked. Thinking of the true situation deep inside the cave, many lewd traces had not yet been cleaned up. If the experienced Hua Caiyan went in and took a look, she would immediately understand what had happened!
Immediately, she gritted her teeth and rejected the idea: "No, he is at the most critical moment right now. Caiyan, you know he is exceptionally talented. It's not impossible for him to succeed in Foundation Establishment this time."
"But that's why he can't tolerate any outsiders disturbing him right now. Caiyan, I understand how you feel, but please be patient for one more day. I promise, tomorrow he will definitely go out safely to meet you!"
She said this with a resolute tone, but her reaction suddenly alerted Hua Caiyan!
Hua Caiyan knew her older sister well. After all these years together, she knew her sister's personality all too well. Normally, her sister would never be ambiguous or make such a strange promise to her in such a bizarre tone!
She knew that the spider demon's principle was to never lie to her family, never beat around the bush, and always speak her mind, for fear of not communicating enough and causing misunderstandings.
However, even though Yun Chuan is in seclusion right now, is it not even allowed for me to catch a glimpse of his face from afar?
Her female intuition suddenly kicked in, and the little fox narrowed her eyes, raised her head, and began to scrutinize her senior sister's body.
Fourth Sister's hair was loosely tied up, as if she had just casually put it up after getting up, without any careful grooming.
Fourth Sister had a bit of sweat on her forehead and her cheeks were flushed; it was unclear what kind of strenuous exercise she had just done.
Fourth Sister's breasts felt so soft just now, unlike usual. Is she dressed very lightly today, and is she not wearing a bra?
And, Fourth Sister right now...
Good heavens, she was actually barefoot, which is quite rare for her?
Doesn't she have a cold poison in her body and is very afraid of the cold?
All these unusual signs intensified Hua Caiyan's suspicions. She was now even more convinced that her fourth sister's obstruction of her going in to see Yun Chuan must be hiding some unspeakable secret!
However, since Fourth Sister has already made a solemn pledge to herself, then...
She squinted and stared intently at Zhu Yunqing, making the latter's heart pound with fear before she finally nodded slightly and said, "Alright, Fourth Sister, since you've said so, I'll go back and wait for news."
Chapter 281 Is Fourth Sister Pregnant?
After saying that, Hua Caiyan hugged Zhu Yunqing again, pressed her face against her full chest, and felt the elasticity and softness there. It was completely different from the firm feeling that was formed by the bra and thick fabric that made it inelastic in the past. She was even more certain that Zhu Yunqing was not wearing a bra today.
After doing all this, she turned and walked out of the cave, leaving Zhu Yunqing with only a view of her bare shoulders and back, and two long black ponytails.
Zhu Yunqing was completely unaware of the intentions behind her series of small actions. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her younger sister had finally been sent away.
After confirming that Hua Caiyan had gone far away, she turned around and went back to her bedroom.
At this moment, here, a gigantic spider cocoon, nearly two meters in diameter, hung in mid-air, encasing Yun Chu'an's body. Zhu Yunqing chanted an incantation, lowering the cocoon. Suddenly, the top of the cocoon twitched, and then the man's head emerged: "Whoosh—"
Yun Chu'an gasped for breath, looked at Zhu Yunqing, and complained, "Fourth Sister, you're suffocating me."
Zhu Yunqing had composed herself, her pretty face frosty as she coldly looked at him: "You're already at the Foundation Establishment stage, do you still need to breathe?"
Yun Chu'an chuckled: "I just broke through, I haven't gotten used to this feeling yet. Fourth Sister, hurry up and untie me, put me down."
Zhu Yunqing lowered her eyes and hardened her heart, saying, "I never said I would let you go."
Her attitude seemed very bad, but Yun Chu'an remained calm: "What's wrong, Fourth Sister?"
Then he saw the spider demon take out a gleaming purple dagger: "I'll kill you, then eat your flesh raw and drink your blood."
After saying that, she suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his spider cocoon with one hand, and held the dagger in reverse with the other, holding it horizontally in front of his neck.
The cold blade pressed against his neck. Yun Chu'an gave a bitter smile: "No, Fourth Sister, what are you up to this time?"
Zhu Yunqing looked at him coldly: "Do you think I'm joking? Do you think I really wouldn't dare to kill you?"
“Let me tell you, Yun Chuan, this has always been the way of women in my spider clan. After becoming partners and consummating our marriage, we eat our grooms to use their strength and cultivation as nourishment for ourselves and our children.”
She frowned, narrowed her eyes, and tried to look menacing: "That's why I've been telling you not to regret it, because since you chose to do this, you're destined to become my food!"
She spoke so fiercely, but Yun Chu'an's focus was not on her own life at all: "Fourth Sister, are you pregnant?"
Zhu Yunqing was taken aback, then saw the man in front of her with a look of surprise: "Am I going to be a father?"
These words immediately made the spider demon grit her teeth again, secretly feeling ashamed and annoyed. The tense atmosphere that she had worked so hard to create was completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"That's none of your business!" she gritted her teeth, her hand gripping the knife trembling. Afraid the blade might actually cut his skin, she instinctively pulled her hand back a millimeter, continuing, "You made that vow before, married me, and took my virginity. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
Seeing all her little movements, Yun Chuan remained calm and composed.
In fact, even just now, he hadn't panicked at all. The system had been monitoring this girl's level of trust, and her trust in him had always been based on affection. Therefore, Yun Chu'an had always known her true feelings; at this moment, she was simply being affectionate with him.
Zhu Yunqing's traditional and conservative nature had been evident to him for over a year. It was simply too difficult for a well-bred young lady like her, who had grown up immersed in traditional morality and ethics, to suddenly accept sharing a husband with her sisters, or even sleeping together in the same bed.
She needed a reason to convince herself, but thankfully, Yun Chu'an knew how to appease her in this situation.
“I don’t regret it, Fourth Sister,” he said, suddenly calling her by her name. “If I could go back seven days, back to that moment when I saw you in unbearable pain, I would still propose to you, marry you, take you as my wife, and use my power to help you break through so that you can live.”
"It's all because I love you, Fourth Sister."
He spoke so softly, each word striking Zhu Yunqing's heart, making her heart tremble and her bones feel like they were melting.
