Chapter 440: Chapter 440

"Wen, calm down. There’s nothing here you can’t look at. This is important, so don’t make a fuss," Bai Luqiu said seriously, pushing his hand away.

"Wait, Senior Sister, don’t... there are still... there are still people here..." Wen Zhixing was slightly startled, his eyes widening as he took several steps back. Follow current novels on NoveIꜰire.net

This was truly unacceptable. She could play however she wanted in private, but he still found this situation a bit too much to handle.

"What’s a big man like you running for? We’re not done checking, and there are no outsiders here," Bai Luqiu frowned.

If Wen Zhixing didn’t know Bai Luqiu’s character, he might really think she was trying to take advantage of him.

"Ahem, Senior Sister Luqiu... Wen Miner is still here." Wen Zhixing’s eyes flickered.

What a thing to say. What does she mean, "no outsiders"? As if he had somehow conquered everyone. This is slander. He had never slept with Wen Miner, let alone Liu Qingdai. And with Yun Xinyue, he had been forced into an essence absorption. None of this is his fault.

"Junior Sister Wen, don’t get the wrong idea. I need to check your junior brother’s body," Bai Luqiu explained, quickly realizing her mistake and feeling somewhat awkward. She had indeed forgotten Wen Miner.

"It’s okay, you two continue. Don’t mind me." However, Wen Miner let out a snicker, as if everything happening before her eyes didn’t stir any emotional waves within her.

Actually, her heart had already lost its regular rhythm. The cold face she was displaying was all an illusion, fashioned by the Fortune Divine Devil Skill. After all, she was still a maiden lady.

"Senior Sister, there’s no need to check. I’m really fine; I’m not bothered by that small amount of thunder," Wen Zhixing quickly seized the opportunity to explain.

Seeing this, Bai Luqiu had no choice but to give up. Oh well.

"Senior Sister, the sky isn’t even dark yet. You don’t have to be so anxious," Liu Qingdai said, covering her mouth to chuckle, a teasing glint in her crescent-shaped eyes.

"Qingdai, what nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Luqiu’s face turned red instantly. She also realized that her behavior had indeed been inappropriate. But hadn’t Liu Qingdai also torn Wen Zhixing’s clothes?

At her words, Liu Qingdai showed a look of surprise and then turned to Wen Miner, asking, "Senior Sister Wen, was I talking nonsense just now?"

"No," Wen Miner answered quietly, her expression unchanging.

"You two..." Bai Luqiu’s face flushed. Hmph, look at you two, getting so bold! Starting to gossip about me to my face, finding me amusing, are you?

"Ahem, esteemed Senior Sisters, I’m tired. I’m going to rest." Seeing the mood shift, Wen Zhixing hurriedly made an excuse and walked into his room.

Sigh. Having too many women around isn’t necessarily a good thing. Often, it leads to inconveniences.

Yun Xinyue saw Wen Zhixing leave and, without lingering, scurried after him. She then found a room near Wen Zhixing’s bedroom and settled in. Everything seemed natural, as if she had always lived there.

"Senior Sister Luqiu, I’ll be going as well." Liu Qingdai, seeing this, also hurried away. If I don’t leave now, I might get disciplined later.

"Senior Sister Luqiu." Wen Miner also nodded to Bai Luqiu and then took her leave.

"Mhm." Bai Luqiu watched the others depart, her expression unchanging. After a moment’s hesitation, she also followed.

Back in his room, Wen Zhixing let out a slow sigh of relief. Everyone had finally reunited, though the end had been a bit awkward.

These women are becoming bolder,

Then, he calmed himself and performed a thorough internal examination. Not bad. I’ve indeed grown much stronger.

[Your Sea of Sense continues to expand, your Nine Heavens Thunder Tree thrives, successfully nurturing your divine soul.]

[Your divine soul has been strengthened.]

[Your life-span +100.]

[Current life-span: 4,062.]

Eh? Wen Zhixing was momentarily surprised by this notification, then his face lit up with joy.

In his Sea of Sense, the thunder pool roared and expanded, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Tree grew rapidly, further empowering his divine soul. With the strengthening of his divine soul, his life-span had naturally increased a bit. But this isn’t all. The power of the thunder tribulations absorbed recently is still being assimilated. It will probably take some more time before it can fully nourish my divine soul.

I truly chose well with the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill; it suits me perfectly. However, it won’t be good to keep undergoing tribulations here. Wen Zhixing suppressed the joy on his face, deep in thought. Making a splash once was enough. Over the next few days, I estimate I’ll have to undergo tribulations several more times. As the saying goes, ’too much is as bad as too little.’ I’d better keep a low profile. For the next tribulation, I’ll use Across the Sky to venture out.

So comfortable. Wen Zhixing lay leisurely on the soft bed. The everyday items here were replaced daily, so there was no need to worry about hygiene.

Soon, night fell. Time ticked by.

Late in the night, the knocking sound came.

"Who is it?" Wen Zhixing opened his eyes, his mind stirring.

"Wen, it’s me." A soft, somewhat seductive female voice drifted in. She seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice. It was Bai Luqiu.

"Senior Sister Luqiu." Wen Zhixing quickly got up and opened the door. The next moment, his heart skipped a beat, a flutter of anticipation stirring within him. Bai Luqiu had changed her attire. She wore a light yellow gauze dress, draped with a light blue gauze shawl, her slender waist accentuated by a golden silk tassel.
