Chapter 492: Level Up Again
He reached out and gently stroked Xuening’s hair.
Unexpectedly, Xuening leaned her head against his shoulder.
“Big Brother Su, will you always be with me until we find Grandpa and Little Ling?”
Xuening asked again, her voice soft and tired.
Even though they had won a lot this time, eighty to ninety percent of the assets in the Dantai Ruins had been taken by the two of them.
However, Xuening’s heart was still filled with endless confusion.
It seemed that in the vast world, she had no one else to trust besides Su Jingzhen.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen was the only one she could trust.Su Jingzhen gently hugged Xuening’s waist.
He didn’t have any other thoughts at this time.
He said softly, “As I said earlier, since your grandfather entrusted you to me, I will naturally take you with me wherever I go.”
If he didn’t have the ability, that would be one thing, but now that he had the foundation, he wouldn’t betray anyone around him.
Luo Yuebai was like that, and Xuening was the same.
“Thank you, Big Brother Su.”
The blush on Xuening’s face deepened.
As if to gather her courage, she gently kissed Su Jingzhen on the cheek.
Before Su Jingzhen could react, she squeezed a drop of blood from her hand.
As a five-colored light shone, a passage in the void in front of them condensed once again.
“We’ve spent quite some time in these pavilions, it’s time to leave.”
Xuening’s voice was still soft, almost shy.
But as her words fell, she saw Su Jingzhen still standing there, frozen.
“Brother Su, we should go.”
Xuening assumed that it was the previous, uninhibited kiss that had left Su Jingzhen stunned.
She spoke again, her voice even softer this time.
At that moment, a row of golden characters appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.
His heart soared with excitement once again.
[Emotional connection with Dantai Xuening reached: Mutual Affection!
Reward Points: 50
Level Bonus: 4x
Cultivation bonus: 3x]
[Remaining usable points: 724].
He hadn’t expected that this trip to the Dantai Ruins would actually raise Xuening’s affinity to the fourth level, mutual affection.
Su Jingzhen had sensed Xuening’s feelings for him a long time ago.
After all, ever since they left Tianning City, Xuening had often looked to him as her only source of support.
It was normal for love to blossom over time.
He knew that their relationship would deepen in the future, it was inevitable.
But Su Jingzhen hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.
However, it was a good thing.
With this new level, he could now get twelve points.
Only Shuang Jiang and Luo Yuebai had more.
Besides, Dantai Mingjing had already entrusted Xuening to him.
In the future, Xuening might stay by his side for a long time.
She might even become his main source of points.
Looking at Xuening’s pure eyes, stunning face, and ethereal aura, Su Jingzhen knew that he couldn’t deny his feelings.
After his Golden Finger awakened, he had already made a vow to himself: in this life, he would love the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world.
His ambition was to rule the world and enjoy the company of beautiful women.
He didn’t care about quantity, as long as it happened naturally, he would accept it without any psychological burden.
And he would do everything in his power to be good to them.
The cultivation world never had the concept of monogamy. If two hearts were happy, they would be together.
It was that simple.
However, when he reached this point with Xuening, Su Jingzhen felt an invisible burden on his shoulders.
Xuening must have a rather complicated story behind her, and it would be his responsibility to unravel it.
“Brother Su, what’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen still looking dazed, Xuening’s confusion grew, prompting her to speak again.
Su Jingzhen smiled, but it was softer than before.
“Nothing, let’s go.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen naturally walked to Xuening’s side and took her hand.
Xuening’s blush deepened, but she didn’t resist.
Instead, a different kind of sweetness filled her heart.
Xuening’s way of expressing her feelings wasn’t as direct as Luo Yuebai’s.
The previous kiss was a tentative release of a signal.
Su Jingzhen’s proactive grip was a response.
Her heart calmed down with a feeling of peace.
Just like Xuening’s personality, her expression of affection was subtle.
Su Jingzhen wouldn’t be as direct with her as he was with Luo Yuebai, he would treat her with gentleness as well.
The two of them didn’t stay in the scripture pavilion any longer.
They went back to the corridor.
When they reappeared, they unexpectedly found themselves back in the white jade square where they had been before.
They happened to appear right underneath the statue of the Yunmeng Goddess.
The statue of the Yunmeng Goddess still stood there majestically.
No one dared to destroy it.
After all, there were too many legends about the Yunmeng Goddess circulating in the Qingzhou region.
Thier sudden appearance here startled the cultivators who were meditating under the statue.
“This… This is Su Jingzhen, and the descendant of the Dantang Clan!”
“They… How could they be here?”
“…”
Many eyes turned to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
They were still a bit stunned.
However, they quickly recovered and finished their cultivation one by one.
With excitement on their faces, they surrounded Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
There were still many Nascent Soul cultivators in this place.
They didn’t care why Su Jingzhen and Xuening had suddenly appeared here.
They just treated it as a gift from heaven.
Shen Yifeng’s previous rampage, the image of a war god, was deeply engraved in their hearts.
As a result, they were too afraid to give Shen Yifeng any trouble.
But Shen Yifeng wasn’t there now.
With only Xuening and Su Jingzhen, they weren’t afraid at all.
As the saying goes, wealth and danger go hand in hand. If they worked properly and acted quickly, they could take Su Jingzhen and Xuening with them directly. They might even be able to seize this immense wealth.
“I knew that the Yunmeng Goddess would bring us luck.
This time, it’s really like finding what you’ve been looking for without much effort.
This incredible wealth has finally come to us.”
All the Nascent Soul cultivators present immediately came to an agreement.
They had already seen quite a few Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators heading out of the square.
They must have quietly informed their respective sects.
Therefore, they knew that they had to act quickly.
Seeing this lineup, Su Jingzhen’s brow furrowed again.
“What a trouble.
There is no trouble in the world, only those who seek it.”
He muttered to himself as his divine consciousness suddenly opened.
He scanned the entire White Jade Plaza.
He did not find any Soul Formation stage cultivators.
His confidence immediately soared.
“It seems that you are all very interested in the two of us and want to obtain the luck on our bodies?”
Su Jingzhen’s gaze fell on the ten or so Nascent Soul cultivators surrounding them.
A playful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
“A wise man knows when to give in. Even though we can’t afford to offend Shen Yifeng, Su Jingzhen, you should know that with your Flesh Body Nascent Embryo Body Refinement cultivation, it should be impossible for you to escape from our hands.”
“That’s right, we are only here for wealth.
We don’t really want to kill anyone. If Su Jingzhen and Miss Dantai are willing to cooperate and share some of the wealth with us, it will be beneficial for everyone.”
“If not, even if Shen Yifeng wants to settle accounts later, he won’t be able to find us today with the vastness of the cultivation world.”
“……”
At this time, the Nascent Soul cultivators surrounding Su Jingzhen and the others ranged from early stage Nascent Soul to late stage Nascent Soul.
Their eyes were filled with heat and greed.
Although they were a bit scared, they didn’t decide to attack right away.
If they could intimidate peacefully, that would be best.
Hearing these words, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled back into a smile.
“To be serious, eighty to ninety percent of the fortune in these ruins has actually been taken by the two of us.
If anyone wants it, come and get it.”
As he said this, Su Jingzhen was already holding the black brick in his hand, and his aura was gradually becoming sharp.
His tone was calm, but it sent a shiver down the spines of these ten or so Nascent Soul cultivators.
This look, this speech, seemed familiar…
