The general saw Zi Yuan approaching and hurried over, bowing and scraping as he said, “Lord Zi Yuan, these two fellows forced their way through the city gate and injured our men. This subordinate has already tied them up. Please dispose of them as you see fit, my lord!”
Zi Yuan’s face turned extremely gloomy upon hearing this.
Without a word, she stepped forward and slapped the general twice across the face with all her strength.
The general was left dizzy and disoriented, clutching his face in terror as he stared at Zi Yuan.
“You useless fool who does not know death when you see it! Do you even know who you have bound? He is Chen Ping, Mr Chen! And you dare treat him like this? I see you do not want to live!”
Zi Yuan scolded him angrily.
The general turned pale with fright upon hearing this. His legs gave way, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, wetting his trousers.
He kowtowed repeatedly while begging for mercy, “Mr Chen, Lord Zi Yuan, this subordinate has eyes but failed to see. I did not know it was Mr Chen’s esteemed visit. Please spare this subordinate this once!”
Chen Ping’s reputation had long spread throughout the Sixth Heaven, especially in the God Kingdom. Lord Wu Hao had made everyone remember the name Chen Ping.
For without Chen Ping, the God Kingdom might have been destroyed by now.
Chen Ping looked at the general’s pathetic state and felt a touch of pity.
He waved his hand and said, “Enough. Ignorance is no crime. Get up. But do not be so arrogant and overbearing in future, or I will not let it go lightly!”
The general felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He kowtowed in thanks and then slunk away in disgrace.
Zi Yuan turned around, looked at Chen Ping, her eyes full of excitement and joy.
She stepped forward, took Chen Ping’s hand, and said, “Chen Ping, you are finally here! I have been hoping you would come.”
Chen Ping smiled and said, “Zi Yuan, I have come to ask about something. I want to inquire about the God Clan’s patriarch.”
Zi Yuan nodded and said, “This is not the place to talk. Let us go inside.”
With that, she pulled Chen Ping’s hand and led him to her room. Hu Mazi, seeing this, tactfully stayed outside the door.
Once inside the room, Zi Yuan closed the door.
She turned to face Chen Ping, her eyes gleaming with intense passion.
Before Chen Ping could speak, she threw herself into his arms.
“Chen Ping, I missed you so much.” Zi Yuan said softly, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.
Chen Ping was caught off guard by Zi Yuan’s action, but he soon recovered.
He gently held Zi Yuan and said, “Zi Yuan, I missed you too. But I have important matters now, about the God Clan’s patriarch…”
Zi Yuan looked up at Chen Ping and said, “Chen Ping, do not talk about those things. Forget the worries today and just stay with me.” With that, she leaned in and kissed Chen Ping on the lips.
Chen Ping hesitated at first, but he was soon swept up in Zi Yuan’s enthusiasm.
The two embraced tightly, kissing passionately. Then Zi Yuan led Chen Ping to the bed, and they began an intense session of dual cultivation.
During the dual cultivation, Chen Ping felt a powerful spiritual energy flowing between them.
This energy not only greatly nourished his body but also slightly improved his cultivation.
Zi Yuan also gained much from the session. Her complexion became rosier, and her eyes brighter.
After the dual cultivation ended, the two lay together in each other’s arms.
Zi Yuan rested in Chen Ping’s embrace and said softly, “Chen Ping, are you asking about the God Clan’s patriarch because you ran into some trouble?”
Chen Ping nodded and told Zi Yuan everything that had happened to him in the Eighth Heaven, from start to finish.
Including how Wan Jianxing had sacrificed his soul to save him, and how he wanted to settle accounts with the God Clan’s patriarch.
Zi Yuan felt a surge of worry upon hearing this.
She said, “Chen Ping, that God Clan’s patriarch is a legend to us. I do not know much. If you want to know more, I can take you to ask the lord.”
“But the lord probably does not know much either. After all, people like us cannot even approach the God Clan’s patriarch, let alone know who he is.”
