Chapter 191: More Surprises?

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Ye Chen focused on refining the Human Emperor Banner. Once the refining was completed, he worked on consolidating his spells and Divine Abilities. He was preparing for his future breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

Suddenly, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes. He saw Su Yuxuan beside him, now awake. The mischievous, pure, and alluring little demoness now radiated a sense of holiness. Her skin emitted a faint glow. It was an incredibly surreal feeling.

And as Ye Chen sensed Su Yuxuan’s aura, he realized that she had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Her rapidly growing power filled Su Yuxuan with immense joy. Her greatest obsession had always been to grow stronger.

Previously, it would have taken at least several years, maybe even a decade, to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. But now, in just half a month, she had broken through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

She was just one step away from forming a Golden Core. Once she obtained the spiritual objects needed to form the Golden Core, she could break through to the Golden Core stage. Then, she would be able to kill her Master and free her family’s souls. How could Su Yuxuan not be ecstatic?

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ye!”

Su Yuxuan stood up, her delicate little feet hovering in the air as she thanked Ye Chen.

To be honest, even now, Su Yuxuan still found it somewhat unbelievable. Ye Chen had really come specifically to gift her the Glazed Purification Water.

Though she had always known that Ye Chen liked her, the fact that he had given her such a precious treasure as the Glazed Purification Water touched her deeply. Her heart swelled with quiet gratitude. Once she avenged her family and destroyed Misty Sect, being with Ye Chen didn’t seem bad at all.

However, the unfortunate truth was that after she avenged her family, she probably wouldn’t have many years left to live. But Ye Chen cared so much for her. Even if it was just a few years of companionship, it would be enough to repay his kindness.

The little demoness, Su Yuxuan, wasn’t ungrateful—she simply had more pressing matters to attend to. Ye Chen had given her the Foundation Establishment technique, pills, her eyes, and now even traveled far to bring her the Glazed Purification Water. She remembered all these kindnesses clearly.

“Words of thanks are nothing. How about something more practical?” Ye Chen said with a smiling gaze.

The holy aura brought on by the Glazed Purification Water enhanced the little demoness’s demeanor, giving her an entirely new level of grace. Especially her little feet, which sparkled with a faint glow. It seemed as though they were delicate and soft to the extreme.

Su Yuxuan immediately pouted. If Ye Chen had made such a request before giving her the Glazed Purification Water, she might have reluctantly agreed. But now that she had already used it, he could forget about it. She raised her leg, preparing to leave.

Having broken through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, Su Yuxuan now had a great deal of confidence in her own strength. She believed she could now match Ye Chen in a test of strength. And even if she couldn’t defeat him, escaping would still be easy.

However, the next moment, Su Yuxuan’s little foot stopped. It wasn’t because Ye Chen made a move. Instead, Ye Chen took an ancient jade out of his storage ring.

Feeling the thick murderous aura and sword intent contained within the jade, Su Yuxuan’s foot froze in place. A Golden Core spiritual object. Ye Chen actually had a Golden Core spiritual object, and it was filled with a dense, deathly aura. It was undoubtedly a high-quality spiritual object.

As for the sword intent, although it was of no use to her, it wasn’t a problem. This spiritual object was simply perfect for her. With this ancient jade, could it be that Ye Chen was going to give it to her?

The thought made Su Yuxuan’s heart race again.

Seeing the desire in Su Yuxuan’s eyes, Ye Chen immediately smiled and said, “Su Yuxuan, do you want the spiritual object?”

Su Yuxuan nodded enthusiastically, like a little chick pecking at grains.
