MTLNOVEL Chapter 1136: Doubts
Su Chen had been practicing in the back mountain for an hour or two, no, to be precise, he was playing around for an hour or two before he contentedly headed to the manor!
At least after this hour or two, he had gotten a good grasp of the basics of the Thousand Hand Seal!
Next, he should focus on cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Technique; reaching the Meridian Expansion Peak is his first goal!
With the large Gathering Yuan Formation and those precious Spirit Fruits, Elixirs, and Spirit Stones to aid him, this is hardly a challenge!
Additionally, he still needs to continue cultivating Star Energy, which is essentially Stellar Power!
Stellar Power comes from countless stars, and although Su Chen has yet to reach the First Turn of the Supreme Star Shifting Technique, he has already witnessed the power of Stellar Power countless times!
One could say that Su Chen's progress to this day has been greatly aided by Star Energy or rather Stellar Power!
Thankfully, the cultivation speed of Stellar Power is now much faster than before, and Su Chen finds it much easier to use!
With these thoughts in mind, Su Chen walked into the manor!
Today is a normal working day, so Lin Ruoxue, Xia Qiuru, Luo Xiwen, and Yan Xi all went to work, and Qian Ying naturally followed Lin Ruoxue around!
At home, only Eniel, Qi Meng, Du Hanbing, and Huang Menglei were left. They generally had a relaxed lifestyle, besides cultivating, they often chatted, went shopping, dined out, and enjoyed hot springs!
Sometimes, Su Chen felt like he was the most redundant one!
For instance, when Su Chen walked in, he found the women soaking in the hot spring, not knowing what they were discussing, but they all had happy smiles on their faces!
When Su Chen came in, the women just glanced at him and continued their chatter, acting as if he didn't exist!
Feeling hurt, Su Chen quickly went to the room, donned swimming trunks, and forcefully joined in!
He squeezed between Eniel and Qi Meng, spreading his arms back with a somewhat possessive air!
On the left were Eniel and Huang Menglei, and on the right were Qi Meng and Du Hanbing!
"Su Chen, did you purposely sit here to take advantage of Qi Meng?"
Eniel teased after seeing this shameless guy forcefully squeeze in!
"I was planning on taking advantage of you!"
Su Chen responded with a grin, pulling Eniel closer and giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Even if you wanted to, I doubt you'd have the guts!"
Qi Meng said playfully, shooting Su Chen a glance with her beautiful eyes!
Hearing Qi Meng's words, the other women immediately burst out laughing!
In fact, by now all the women knew that Qi Meng would eventually move to the room at the back of the manor!
It's just that no one had really talked about it openly yet!
This time, it was clear Qi Meng was making a small move again. She used to occasionally tease Su Chen, and most of the time, Su Chen would retreat!
But this moment in the hot spring pool made the atmosphere feel a bit different!
Qi Meng's graceful figure under her swimsuit seemed to speak of subtle temptations!
In truth, Su Chen had always had feelings for Qi Meng!
All the women could see this as well!
It's just that Su Chen occasionally felt a bit embarrassed since Qi Meng had only moved in recently!
But upon hearing Qi Meng's words, his heart warmed, and he pulled Qi Meng's willow-like waist closer, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he said:
"So how do you want me to take advantage of you?"
As Su Chen spoke, his gaze lingered on the peaks of Qi Meng's body!
The other women cursed in their hearts about how shameless Su Chen was!
How was Qi Meng supposed to reply to this?
Qi Meng's heart trembled, thinking Su Chen would dodge like the last few times, but this time, he didn't!
Her heart felt both sweet and a little flustered!
Especially since Su Chen's hand on her waist started acting up!
Although he'd taken advantage of her before, they were at least clothed then!
Now, clad only in a swimsuit, her smooth waist felt particularly sensitive to Qi Meng!
The crucial part was that Eniel, Du Hanbing, and Huang Menglei were all watching. Surely they noticed Su Chen's cheeky moves!
"Qi Meng, does this count as taking advantage of you?"
Su Chen asked softly into Qi Meng's ear, his gaze fixed on her.
Of course, the other women heard it too!
They all thought Su Chen was getting naughtier!
Why taunt her yet still ask?!
After all, Qi Meng is a woman!
"If it doesn't count, I can still..."
"It counts, it counts!"
Qi Meng hurriedly replied, almost wanting to bury her head in the water!
At this point, her beautiful face had turned crimson, exceedingly beautiful!
She used to be annoyed by Su Chen's constant evasion, but now that he was not evading and was remarkably bold, Qi Meng felt a bit scared!
She feared that Su Chen might take even bolder actions, knowing he was fully capable of doing so!
After all, Eniel and the other women were watching!
If he did something outrageous, wouldn't she be laughed at later?
Seeing Qi Meng back down, Su Chen didn't continue teasing but instead wrapped an arm around Eniel and Qi Meng's fragrant shoulders!
Qi Meng felt a mix of embarrassment and happiness in Su Chen's embrace!
Does this mean they've broken the unspoken barrier and confirmed their relationship?
Thinking about this confused Qi Meng even more!
But regardless, she just felt extremely happy now!
Su Chen felt slightly confused too; was it truly a confession? Though it somehow didn't feel like it!
Whatever! After all, it's inevitable that Qi Meng will be his girl!
Su Chen thought narcissistically and dominantly!
At this moment, Huang Menglei went to the dining room and brought back a bottle of red wine and five wine glasses. Everyone soaked in the hot spring, sipping wine, and watching the clouds roll across the sky, feeling very relaxed!
If everyday life were like this, Su Chen felt it would be like living a god's life!
Of course, Su Chen knew it was just a fantasy!
Not to mention, the Song Family, Black Blade Alliance, and Peng Family probably wouldn't leave things be!
What puzzled Su Chen was that after so long, there had been no movement from these forces, as if they had retreated entirely!
He knew those forces wouldn't let it go!
But Su Chen didn't think too much of it!
After all, these matters were minor to him, hardly worth worrying over!
The family secret that always intrigued him was the Ximen Clan. Did they really not want the Token anymore?
