Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 404 - 402: Chen Lingxiang’s Invitation, Former Five Poison Saint Son Runs Into Top Three Yin Saint Sons...
Qin Qingqing, the Celestial Wolf Princess, who had taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Amidst the surprised gazes of several guards and a few departing members of the Human Race...
Qin Qingqing suddenly swept back to Lu Ye’s side, gently sniffing something.
Seeing the Celestial Wolf Princess’s actions, Lu Ye’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Wolf Demons and Dog Demons are close relatives and share many similarities, including having an extremely keen sense of smell.
Tracking by scent is the specialty of the Canine Race.
Now, the Celestial Wolf Princess suddenly sniffed this way...
"Why does this princess feel like I’ve smelled your scent somewhere before!"
Sure enough, the Celestial Wolf Princess Qin Qingqing suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Lu Ye, questioning him.
Upon hearing this, the few onlooking Human Race cultivators who were about to leave all stopped and looked over curiously.
They were already very interested in Lu Ye, a new top ten entry on the Demon Saint Stele List.
Now it seemed that this young prodigy in the top ten might have some connection with the Celestial Wolf Princess...
"Perhaps we met on the road before, I did see the princess before," Lu Ye said calmly, unfazed.
"Is that so?" The Celestial Wolf Princess found it reasonable upon hearing his words.
After all, she had traveled to many places in the Demon Saint Province and met many people.
The main thing was... she hadn’t intentionally remembered Lu Ye’s scent during the encounter, so she couldn’t tell whom Lu Ye’s current scent matched.
After looking at Lu Ye twice more, Qin Qingqing pondered in her heart.
If Lu Ye was just an ordinary person, the Celestial Wolf Princess could detain him for a few days for observation.
Now that he’s exposed as a new ninth on the Demon Saint Stele List, doing so would be inappropriate; his status and position have changed.
So, Qin Qingqing ultimately let Lu Ye leave.
"Farewell." Lu Ye bowed slightly, disappearing from the scene in an instant.
...
The journey afterward was smooth for Lu Ye; after a day, he finally returned to the Northern Territory.
"Compared to Demon Saint Province, the Northern Territory is more comfortable."
Looking back at the Demon Saint Province area, Lu Ye calculated his time.
"There’s only one month left until the Yunyao Secret Realm, and the next time I climb the ranking might be a bit later."
The Demon Saint Stele is there anyway and won’t move.
And if he misses the Yunyao Secret Realm, it’s gone forever, so Lu Ye certainly prefers to visit the Yunyao Secret Realm first.
As for the matter of Demon Saint Province, let the Celestial Wolf Race keep themselves busy in the Demon Saint Province for a while.
Upon returning to the Northern Territory, Lu Ye didn’t immediately go to where Jiang Qingge was but stayed outside in seclusion for a few days.
A few days later, while cultivating in a cave, Lu Ye suddenly received a message from Chen Lingxiang.
Lu Ye took a look and found it was inquiries about how he had been recently and some casual talk about having time.
Seeing this, Lu Ye replied.
[Still the same, I have time.]
On the other side, Chen Lingxiang, already back in Luohua City, stood in her courtyard, slightly biting her lip, unsure how to start.
Calculating the time, it had actually been quite a while since she last saw Young Master Lu.
During this time, she had been listening to various news about him.
Having just moved back to Luohua City from outside, initially busy with family matters, Chen Lingxiang could immerse herself in family affairs.
But now, not as busy, Chen Lingxiang discovered...
There was a growing impulse within her heart.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Chen Lingxiang directly said.
[So, Young Master Lu, do you have any time recently? If you do, I’ll come to hang out with you...]
Seeing this message, Lu Ye thought for a moment.
It indeed had been a while since he last saw Miss Chen, and since they were friends, Lu Ye didn’t refuse.
[Sure, you name a place, I’ll come to you.]
His speed was obviously faster than Chen Lingxiang’s; even if she had flying spirit beasts, Lu Ye was still far more convenient in terms of speed. Thus, it would take much less time for Lu Ye to travel.
In the Chen family courtyard, a delighted Chen Lingxiang thought for a moment and quickly mentioned a location.
Cang Mountain!
This place was about a thousand miles from Luohua City, and after making the arrangement, Chen Lingxiang immediately left her family.
On the other side, in the cave, receiving Chen Lingxiang’s message, Lu Ye glanced at it, took out a map of the Northern Territory, and found the place named "Cang Mountain."
A figure flashed, disappearing from the cave.
At this moment, in another part of the Northern Territory.
This is the border between the Northern and Western Territories, a place rarely visited by cultivators.
At this moment, a young-looking man stood at the border, seemingly indecisive.
This person was the former Five Poison Sect Holy Son.
Originally having been pursued by the Five Poison Sect, his days had been very difficult.
After all, if he accidentally fell into the hands of the Five Poison Sect, he would undoubtedly face various tortures if taken back to the sect!
Fortunately, just a few days ago, the Five Poison Sect was completely destroyed!
It was as if a mountain pressing on him vanished instantly.
Having traveled carefully and arrived at the border between the Northern and Western Territories, the former Five Poison Sect Holy Son found himself lost.
He didn’t know whether he should stay in the Northern Territory or go to the Western Territory under the current circumstances.
At this moment, another figure rushed over from a different road.
Upon seeing the figure land, the former Five Poison Sect Holy Son was first taken aback, then his gaze gradually became sharp.
"It’s you?!"
The person who arrived later was the Three Yin Sect Holy Son!
No, actually, it was the former Three Yin Saint Son.
Earlier, the former Five Poison Sect Holy Son considered the Three Yin Saint Son his biggest rival in the Northern Territory and had studied him extensively.
He had interacted with the Three Yin Saint Son many times, so despite some disguises, the former Five Poison Sect Holy Son, very familiar with his opponent, recognized him.
Sure enough, in the next second, the former Three Yin Saint Son also recognized the Five Poison Saint Son’s disguise.
"Hmph! Who is it? Oh, it’s you, the runaway dog that defected from the Five Poison Sect." The former Three Yin Saint Son spoke harshly.
As an old rival, the current former Three Yin Sect Saint Son had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Second Layer, feeling he had surpassed the former Five Poison Saint Son.
Since he had surpassed his old rival, there was no need to be polite.
"It’s been a while, and you’re still as good with words." The former Five Poison Saint Son retorted without hesitation.
"If your Three Yin Saint Son’s strength was as tough as your mouth, you wouldn’t have been chased and begging for mercy by that person in the Black Valley Secret Realm!"
