Chapter 124 : Truly in a Hurry. (Full Chapter)
Dantai Jinglian's reaction did not come as a surprise to Chu Ge.
She was momentarily taken aback, then broke into a smile and even shot Chu Ge a flirtatious wink.
"Junior Nephew really is quite greedy, isn't he…?"
"But hasn't Junior Nephew forgotten something?"
"If you want this Senior Aunt to become yours, shouldn't you first present your token of affection?"
"After all, among everyone here, I'm the only one who doesn't have one yet…"
As she spoke, she raised her slender jade-like hand, her tone carrying a hint of self-pity.
The other women subconsciously glanced at the Dao Manifestation Rings on their own fingers.
Dantai Jinglian looked at Chu Ge.
There was some dissatisfaction in her heart.
Even the Lu sisters had one now—she alone was left without it. For someone as competitive by nature as her, how could that be acceptable?
And Dantai Jinglian, who had never followed conventional paths, had no intention of waiting for Chu Ge to take the initiative someday. She simply spoke up and asked directly.
Whether it would work or not was beside the point—what others had, she, Dantai Jinglian, had to have as well.
Whether it was given voluntarily or obtained by asking didn't matter. As long as she had it first.
All the women turned their gazes toward Chu Ge, waiting for his response.
Only now did Chu Ge understand why Dantai Jinglian's emotional status showed "slightly dissatisfied."
So this was what she had been waiting for.
As for the so-called token of affection she mentioned, Chu Ge didn't dwell too deeply on it.
After all, every woman already had a Dao Manifestation Ring, and Dantai Jinglian was aware of his current relationship with the others. It was only natural for her to think along these lines.
Dantai Jinglian's words naturally posed no difficulty for Chu Ge.
"I've long prepared one for Senior Aunt. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have personally presented it after everything was settled today."
Chu Ge smiled casually, spreading his palm. A Dao Manifestation Ring lay quietly in his hand.
Dantai Jinglian narrowed her eyes slightly and took the initiative to walk over.
She extended her slender hand toward Chu Ge, her intention self-evident.
Nearby, Luo Huangjun and Shui Qianrou exchanged glances, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes.
'This senior sister, whose temperament has always been so hard to read, has finally lost her patience.'
From Dantai Jinglian's series of remarks earlier to her current initiative, the two women—very familiar with her—could naturally sense the urgency beneath it.
After all, among everyone present, the Grand Elder of the Taihuang Holy Land had the slowest progress.
This was evident from Chu Ge's favorability toward her.
Among all those present—
Luo Huangjun still held a commanding lead in Chu Ge's affection, reaching a staggering 96 points.
Even Shui Qianrou, who had already taken the lead in practice, still fell slightly short of her.
Next was Su Lingyuan, who interacted with Chu Ge the most and spent the longest time with him—93 points.
Then came the Lu sisters, who both reached 91 points after confessing their feelings.
As for Dantai Jinglian—there had been progress, but not much.
She had only barely reached 80 points. After all, among the women, she had the least contact with Chu Ge.
And during this period, everyone had repeatedly obtained the highest-tier rewards from the Diary Replica.
They were practically overflowing with gains.
This only intensified Dantai Jinglian's sense of urgency.
But Chu Ge had remained in seclusion, and she couldn't simply interrupt his cultivation.
She had long devised methods to actively deepen their relationship.
Yet either something interfered, or the timing was wrong.
As a result, she had now become the one lagging behind, with none of her plans having a chance to be implemented.
For someone as proud as Dantai Jinglian, how could she accept this?
What's more, although Chu Ge had once mentioned his covetous thoughts toward her in the Diary Replica, he had never taken any real action.
Their relationship had remained lukewarm—neither distant nor close.
It was completely incomparable to the other women, whose relationships with Chu Ge had rapidly heated up.
At one point, Dantai Jinglian even began to doubt herself.
Was her charm lacking?
Could she really not attract Chu Ge?
Or perhaps… she simply wasn't his type?
Now that she had finally found an opportunity today, Dantai Jinglian no longer cared about anything else and launched a direct offensive.
As Chu Ge held her hand and slowly slipped the Dao Manifestation Ring onto her finger, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction rose within Dantai Jinglian's heart.
It was like a little girl longing for a toy—waiting day after day, month after month—finally getting it in her hands, her joy beyond words.
And Dantai Jinglian, unlike others, never concealed her emotions.
A radiant smile bloomed across her face as she gazed at Chu Ge and slowly spoke:
"Junior Nephew, you truly are becoming more and more to this Senior Aunt's liking…"
As she finished speaking, she suddenly raised both hands, cupped Chu Ge's face, and pressed her red lips lightly against his forehead.
Dantai Jinglian's bold action stunned all the women present.
Even Luo Huangjun and Shui Qianrou were no exception.
Senior Sister was indeed in a hurry—but they hadn't expected her to be this urgent.
Still, thinking of Dantai Jinglian's always unconventional personality, they quickly accepted it.
"Senior Aunt, you're taking advantage of me like this—I'll be sure to take it back in the future."
Chu Ge was startled by Dantai Jinglian's sudden move.
But recalling her outrageously seductive attire the last time they met, it didn't feel all that surprising anymore.
This woman's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
"Women's hearts are needles at the bottom of the sea"—that phrase was fully embodied in Dantai Jinglian.
"Oh? Then this Senior Aunt will be looking forward to how Junior Nephew plans to take advantage of me in the future…"
Dantai Jinglian chuckled softly and stepped back.
At the same time, Luo Huangjun spoke up.
"Xiao Chu, that's enough. Call her out—we shouldn't waste time."
Chu Ge nodded in response.
"Elder Sister Qingjue."
He called softly. The next moment, Luo Qingjue's soul form appeared before everyone.
Even those who had seen Ying Qingjue before couldn't help but sigh inwardly at her peerless beauty.
She was a peerless beauty in no way inferior to Luo Huangjun or Dantai Jinglian.
Being stared at by so many gazes, Ying Qingjue felt nothing unusual.
Born of the Dragon Clan and once a Supreme, she had received countless gazes of attention in life.
She would naturally not be moved by mere looks—even when their owners all possessed remarkable beauty.
