Chapter 153 : Setting Off (Full Chapter)
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jue did not display any particular sense of disappointment.
Or rather, even without Chu Ge's precautionary words, she had already prepared herself mentally.
In fact, in her own view, her relationship with the young master was one in which she had already reached far above her station.
To be able to become one of his people, to be accepted by Chu Ge, was already a blessing beyond measure. She neither dared nor ever thought of asking for more.
Now, all she wished for was to serve as a maid—devoting herself wholeheartedly to serving him, accompanying him at his side.
Thus, she hesitated not in the slightest.
Meeting Chu Ge's burning gaze, Yuan Jue nodded solemnly and said,
"Jue'er's heart and body—everything I am—should belong to the young master. I only wish to give everything to you, to be a little maid who can serve you forever. That alone would leave me fully content."
Chu Ge was momentarily taken aback.
Then, without saying anything further, he pulled the beauty in his arms even closer.
He rose to his feet and walked toward the bed.
"Please… be gentle, Young Master…"
As her soft, trembling voice echoed, Yuan Jue finally fulfilled her wish and completed her transformation.
Though inexperienced and unable to withstand prolonged conquest, she still did everything she could to satisfy Chu Ge.
...
The next day, Chu Ge awoke from his cultivation.
When he lifted his gaze, the cold and elegant beauty was nowhere to be seen.
The bed sheets after the storm of passion—along with the corner stained by a trace of red plum blossoms—had all disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Chu Ge smiled knowingly.
After their exchange, he had learned that his seemingly obedient maid was also quite the temptress.
Fortunately, she was a cultivator.
Otherwise, Yuan Jue would not have merely been exhausted.
After all, though Chu Ge had restrained himself during the night's campaign, Yuan Jue had insisted on satisfying him fully, leaving him no choice but to comply.
Especially the sensation of that singular bloom—it was truly unforgettable.
To be honest, Chu Ge had no desire to end it hastily.
Thus, with mutual willingness, the two thoroughly indulged for an entire night.
Even his cultivation had been set aside for the evening.
Still, though his original cultivation plans were delayed, it could hardly be called a loss.
After all, dual cultivation was still cultivation.
In fact, compared to ordinary practice, the gains from a night of exertion were far greater.
After casually cleansing himself with spiritual energy, Chu Ge stepped out of the room. It was already late, and he had no intention of staying any longer in Tianyuan City.
As he exited, he saw Yuan Jue and Ying Qingjue already waiting—it seemed they had been expecting him.
Ying Qingjue looked at Chu Ge with a smile whose meaning was hard to discern.
Chu Ge, never one to be thin-skinned, returned the smile.
Ying Qingjue's smile grew even more radiant as she cast him a flirtatious glance.
Her lips moved slightly. Though no sound could be heard, Chu Ge understood perfectly what she said.
"Don't forget our earlier agreement. This elder sister is still waiting for you to help repair my damaged soul…"
Chu Ge nodded lightly.
He had not forgotten their agreement—once his cultivation advanced further, he would work with her to practice the Dragon-Imperial Twin-Soul Heaven-Fusion Scripture and repair her damaged soul.
In fact, Chu Ge had already attempted this technique.
The subjects of these trials were Shui Qianrou and Su Lingyuan, far away in Taihuang, as well as Yuan Jue from the previous night.
However, he had not engaged in deep cultivation with them.
He had merely taught them the auxiliary soul chapter, planting within them the Seed of Heaven Fusion.
After all, they were all inexperienced. To smoothly cultivate the Dragon-Imperial Twin-Soul Heaven-Fusion Scripture, they would need time to properly adjust—both physically and spiritually.
As for the other women who had yet to reach the final stage, Chu Ge had engraved the auxiliary soul chapter and handed it to Luo Huangjun, leaving it to her discretion as to when to pass it on.
Along with it, he included several items he had obtained recently through daily sign-ins—mostly things of high grade but little use to him personally, including some Enlightenment Tea leaves.
The Sacred Source Stone obtained from Ye Chen, after Chu Ge had fully comprehended his Sacred Body divine abilities using it, was also not kept.
He gave it to Luo Huangjun as well, instructing her to pass it on to Su Lingyuan.
"Young Master, everything is ready."
Yuan Jue spoke softly from the side, her gaze toward Chu Ge still carrying a trace of shyness.
After all, she had truly been unseemly the night before—completely ruining the bed, beyond recognition.
She had even fainted in the end.
Just thinking about it now made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
Chu Ge looked at the cold and elegant beauty before him—now fully transformed.
The subtle charm in her brows and eyes, the newfound allure in her increasingly radiant face, and the softened, mature curves of her figure all spoke of the growth she had undergone overnight.
"Good. Since everything is ready, let's depart."
Chu Ge replied, nodding to both women.
The next moment, with a thought, the imposing and domineering Azure Qilin War Chariot appeared.
Its form rapidly expanded as a flash of light enveloped the three of them, drawing them into the chariot.
A low hum resounded.
In the next instant, the war chariot soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light that vanished toward the horizon at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Only then did countless uneasy individuals among Tianyuan City's various factions finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The massacre at the City Lord's Manor and the execution of City Lord Lin Kang could not possibly have gone unnoticed by those who had long operated within Tianyuan City.
Or rather, Chu Ge had never intended to conceal it.
After all, he was still anticipating that Son of Fortune, Lin Dong, to reveal himself.
"He's finally gone… I wonder where such a fearsome dragon crossed over from. His methods are truly terrifying…"
With Chu Ge's departure, people finally dared to speak openly about the events of the previous night.
"That phenomenon that covered the entire Tianyuan City—there's no doubt it was caused by a great power. Unbelievable that someone of such stature would descend upon our small city!"
Someone sighed, recalling the celestial disturbance Ying Qingjue had triggered, a memory that left everyone in Tianyuan City both awestruck and shaken.
After all, a great power of that level needed only to raise a hand to completely wipe Tianyuan City from existence—leaving not a single trace behind.
