Chapter 219: The Secret to Becoming Stronger
At this moment, it was already noon. The place she was going to seemed to be the living room. It should be for a meal.
Sure enough, after the Prime Minister sat down, a maid served her food. There was a whole table of dishes. Su Yan couldn’t even count how many plates there were. Just from the portion size, even ten people wouldn’t be able to finish it.
And not only was there a lot of food, but there was something even more surprising to Su Yan.
“She doesn’t even need to eat by herself and needs others to serve her? This Prime Minister is really comfortable!”
Su Yan saw several men surrounding this mature woman. These men had charming smiles on their faces and were feeding her with chopsticks and spoons. It was simply unbearable to watch. He didn’t know what to say.
As expected of the Prime Minister of the Dragon Kingdom, with her aristocratic style, she even needed to be fed. Was it really comfortable to do that? Anyway, Su Yan felt it was best to do it himself, unless his senior sister was feeding him.
“Should I continue to watch?”
Su Yan already had the intention to leave at this moment. After all, what was so interesting about watching others eat? A woman being fed by a group of men… if something happened midway, it would be an eyesore.
However, just as he was about to leave, the Prime Minister suddenly spoke.
“Shadow, how is that old fellow? Is she working for me according to my requirements?”
“Reporting to my lord, yes!”
A cold female voice sounded from the shadows in the corner.
“That old fellow is working diligently. The progress has already reached sixty percent.”
“Sixty percent? It seems I still have to wait. But I have time now. As long as that little fellow is in my hands, I’m not afraid that she won’t do her best.”
Hearing this, Su Yan’s face was full of bewilderment. He had thought that this person would reveal some secret, but what the hell was she talking about?
“Old fellow? Progress?”
From the conversation between the two, it seemed that the Prime Minister had captured someone and was using this person to threaten another person, to make her work for her.
“What is the content of the work? And why is she doing this?”
Su Yan was very curious about this, but there was nothing he could do. Because in his senses, the person named Shadow did not exist. If she hadn’t suddenly spoken, he wouldn’t have discovered her at all. And what did this mean?
“Her cultivation is higher than mine, at least on the same level as my senior sister.”
At this thought, Su Yan was extremely glad. If it weren’t for the fact that he had many treasures that could hide his aura from doing the system’s missions, he might have been discovered from the very beginning. How could he have stayed here so well?
“I should just go.”
There were such experts in the Prime Minister’s residence. It was no longer a place he could casually interfere with. If his tracks were discovered, then he would be in a miserable state.
At this thought, Su Yan carefully retreated. Only after he had completely left the perception range of an ordinary cultivator did he let out a deep sigh of relief.
“I finally escaped. But I still haven’t gained anything.”
Su Yan thought of the content he had overheard. With just a few sentences, he couldn’t figure out who was imprisoned and where they were imprisoned. And so what if he knew?
“This matter doesn’t seem to be related to the empress. It’s useless to investigate.”
At this thought, Su Yan shook his head.
Having gained nothing in the Prime Minister’s residence, Su Yan wandered around the city for a while and then returned to the imperial palace.
That night, thinking that Xiao Wu and Long Bing had worked hard all day, Su Yan made a lot of dishes, and the three of them gathered to eat.
“Any progress today?”
Long Bing shook her head.
Su Yan turned to look at Xiao Wu, and she also gave the same answer.
Su Yan sighed. The three of them ate in silence. The delicious food melted the anxiety in their hearts, and the frustration on Long Bing’s face disappeared a lot.
And after dinner, Su Yan played games with Xiao Wu for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.
And so, Su Yan lived a life of flipping through books for clues during the day and cooking to reward his senior sisters at night. The poisoner was never found, but there was also no gain.
“I feel like I’m about to break through.”
Xiao Wu suddenly said with pleasant surprise.
“You’re about to break through? So fast!”
Su Yan was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that his senior sister was becoming stronger again, and his surpassing her was a distant prospect. He was happy that his senior sister had become stronger and was one step closer to the immortal Dao.
“Yes, this is all thanks to you.”
Xiao Wu hugged Su Yan, her beautiful eyes full of joy. She longed to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger could she protect the person she liked and hold him in her arms forever.
Su Yan’s face turned red, not because of Xiao Wu’s embrace, but because of what she had just said.
“I didn’t contribute much. This is all your own reason.”
Ever since he had Xiao Wu, Su Yan no longer self-pleasured. To get the energy to become stronger, Xiao Wu had worked very hard every day, so it was not wrong to say so.
“I’m also very happy to do that kind of thing, so it’s all your credit.”
“Of course not…”
Su Yan said shyly.
Long Bing was dumbfounded as she watched from the side, not knowing what had happened.
However, listening to the two of them’s argument, she roughly sorted out the truth. And that was that her senior sister’s becoming stronger was inseparable from Su Yan.
At this thought, Long Bing said, “Do you have some shortcut to becoming stronger, Senior Sister? If you do, can you tell me and let me become stronger?”
The situation in the Dragon Kingdom was special now, and it was very likely that a war would break out. Long Bing needed strength, as much as possible, which was why she was sincerely pleading.
Hearing her words, Su Yan’s face immediately turned red. How could he possibly help her become stronger? Even if he was willing, his senior sister wouldn’t be!
Sure enough…
Xiao Wu’s face showed a difficult expression. “If I could, of course, I would want to help. But the reason I can become stronger so quickly is all thanks to my junior brother.”
Su Yan was not happy to hear this. He didn’t want to refuse Long Bing, and the words were stuck in his throat. Was she trying to make him the bad guy!
Long Bing turned her head. Su Yan gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Wu. If you’re being unkind, then don’t blame me for being unjust!
“Do you want to become stronger, Second Senior Sister? It’s actually very simple. You just have to drink a special kind of milk.”
“Milk?”
Long Bing’s eyes widened. She had drunk milk many times, but it didn’t seem to have this effect. If it did, it would have been discovered long ago.
“Mm, the milk I’m talking about is not ordinary milk. It’s actually…”
Just as Su Yan was about to speak, Xiao Wu suddenly flashed over and covered his mouth with her hand.
“Mmph, mmph!”
“What are you covering my mouth for? Let me continue!”
“I was wrong, Junior Brother! I shouldn’t have made you refuse her! Please don’t say it!”
Xiao Wu quickly pleaded with her voice transmission. The secret to her becoming stronger… it was fine for the two of them to know. But if she told a third person and they knew that she had done that kind of thing, where would she put her face? How could she still be a senior sister?
“Hmph! You’re anxious now? I’ll let you off!”
Seeing that Xiao Wu was really anxious, Su Yan snorted coldly and finally let her go.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Bing was completely bewildered as she watched from the side.
“What is Senior Sister’s secret to becoming stronger? You didn’t tell me!”
“As for her senior sister’s secret to becoming stronger, Long Bing ultimately knew nothing, because at a certain person’s strong request, this matter could not be made public.”
“Aren’t you afraid she’ll get angry?”
Looking at Long Bing’s retreating back, Su Yan asked curiously.
“She won’t be angry with me. She can understand my difficulties.”
Xiao Wu patted her chest and said. Before Su Yan had arrived, she had already been with Long Bing for a long time and knew her character. She was not such a petty person.
And seeing her reaction, she should know that this was a secret that couldn’t be told. It would be a waste of time to ask.
“Alright.”
Su Yan said, “By the way, you said you’re about to break through. When will that be?”
“It should be in these few days, right?”
Xiao Wu closed her eyes to sense for a moment and did not give a definite answer. This was because the two of them lived together. If she suddenly wanted to play an adult game one day and supplemented her milk energy, this time would very likely be brought forward, so it was meaningless to say.
“Oh.”
Su Yan nodded, his expression a little unpleasant. His senior sister could become stronger quickly because she had drunk milk. Why was he, the milk producer, still like this? This was simply too unfair!
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! I can protect you when I become stronger!”
Seeing Su Yan’s depressed expression, Xiao Wu hugged his waist and said.
“Mm.”
Su Yan glanced at Xiao Wu. No matter how strong she became, she was still his wife and had to listen to him, letting him do as he pleased. Just thinking of this made his mood improve a lot.
“I’ll have her strike that pose next time.”
Su Yan thought of some lewd things in his heart, and his gaze couldn’t help but drift to her chest.
I feel that your gaze is a little strange.
Feeling Su Yan’s gaze, Xiao Wu complained to herself and couldn’t help but tighten her clothes.
Logically, after being looked at by Su Yan so many times, and it wasn’t as if they hadn’t been honest with each other, she shouldn’t feel uncomfortable with his gaze. But Su Yan’s gaze was too hot, and it seemed very…
“Evil.”
Xiao Wu swallowed, a bad premonition suddenly rising in her heart.
“What’s strange!?”
Su Yan guiltily turned his head away. He would never tell Xiao Wu what he had just been thinking, at least not now.
“She’ll definitely teach me a lesson if I say it. It’s better to leave it for the night, when she can’t refuse.”
Su Yan thought to himself. He had done that long ago, but his senior sister had a thin skin. In addition, he had only just unlocked her feet before. Now she should have adapted. It should be close to the cooldown time, right?
“Your chest is so soft, Senior Sister, just like marshmallows. But it’s also firm and very comfortable to touch.”
“Why are you suddenly saying these things?”
Xiao Wu was completely bewildered, not knowing what he meant by that.
“It’s nothing. I was just saying.”
Su Yan smiled.
Xiao Wu’s face was full of suspicion. Was it really just saying? It didn’t look like it.
“None of this is important.”
Su Yan waved his hand and asked curiously, “By the way, you’re already a Nascent Soul cultivator, Senior Sister. If you break through again this time, it will be the Soul Formation realm. This realm seems to grant a special ability.”
“Mm.”
Xiao Wu nodded and said, “The Soul Formation realm not only greatly increases the spiritual energy in the body but also allows a cultivator to look directly at their own inner self for the first time and to mobilize their own soul. Simply put, they can have their soul leave their body and do some things that ordinary cultivators can’t.”
