Chapter 225: Negotiation Settled
Bai Xiaotian let out a sharp “Huh?”, his expression shifting from fatigue to genuine astonishment.
“Which formal disciple of the Rain Pavilion is it?” he pressed. “And what kind of Spirit Root does she have?”
After hearing the details, Bai Xiaotian’s expression turned strange. He looked Jiang Chen up and down, a teasing smirk curling his lips.
“So, you’re the one playing the role of the ‘wife’ in this Dao partnership, aren’t you?”
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched. “Old Bai, that’s a bit hurtful.”
Bai Xiaotian sneered, leaning back in his chair. “Usually, a Wood Spirit Root cultivator seeks out a Water Spirit Root to be nourished, or they find someone with a compatible element. You? You went and found yourself a Fire Spirit Root mistress. If that doesn’t make you the one being ‘cultivated,’ I don’t know what does.”
Jiang Chen was left speechless. He waved his hand dismissively.
“None of that matters. I’m not a fickle man. Besides, right now… handling just one is already pushing my limits.”
He wasn’t lying. After sharing a bed and pillow with Senior Sister Yu these past few days, he had discovered a terrifying truth.
