Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 64 - 62: Hongyu Breaks Through, Family Annihilated
Divine Arrow Peak.
Zhou Chen returned home, unaware of his master Li Changfeng’s amorous adventures.
Upon returning, he immediately began guiding Qin Hongyu in her cultivation.
With his silent support from behind, Qin Hongyu’s cultivation progressed rapidly, and she was nearly done with Body Refining Second Layer.
"Hongyu, let’s push harder and try to get you into the Body Refining Second Layer within the next couple of days!"
Even though Zhou Chen had just left the Celestial Fragrance Fairy, with his pockets empty, he was still generous.
His ability to create wealth was extraordinary; money was not an issue.
It was endless.
"Body Refining Second Layer..."
Qin Hongyu’s eyes shone with excitement; she had never dared to dream of this before. But now, she was about to step into this realm and become a truly extraordinary martial artist.
Strength to pull up a thousand pounds, skin like cowhide, immune to blade and sword, more than a mere mortal.
Thinking of this, Qin Hongyu felt a surge of power throughout her body.
At this moment.
She only wanted to shout: Let the storm come more fiercely!
Rumble!
Thunder roared, the wind howled, and torrential rain poured down.
This night was destined to be anything but calm.
Cyan Cloud City.
Zhao Family.
The Cyan Cloud Sect’s law enforcement team stormed in.
Xiang Kui initially intended to investigate, but the Law Enforcement Elder made the final decision.
Assassinating a Cyan Cloud True Inheritor, regardless of the reason, meant complete extermination.
"Zhao Yao assassinated a sect true inheritor, by the law, should be executed!"
"Ah, you unfilial son!"
"We’re being wronged!"
The Zhao Family was a moderately sized family in Cyan Cloud City, with three Body Refining Ninth Layer powerhouses.
But before the Cyan Cloud Sect, they were instantly crushed, reduced to dust and ashes.
The Zhao Family was henceforth removed from the annals of Cyan Cloud City.
That night.
Countless families in Cyan Cloud City were uneasy; those who had visited the Celestial Immortal Tower were in big trouble, subjected to severe punishment, locked up directly to prevent them from causing trouble and bringing disaster to their families.
That night.
The Celestial Immortal Tower became unusually quiet, with far fewer patrons than usual.
Even those who weren’t in the loop could feel the tense atmosphere, hastily leaving without daring to linger.
One silent night passed.
After the raging storm, the sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly.
Zhou Chen looked at the still-sleeping Qin Hongyu, got out of bed with a refreshed spirit, raised his arms, and stretched luxuriously.
"Another bright and sunny day."
In good spirits, Zhou Chen couldn’t help but draw his General Slayer Saber and practice his saber skills in the courtyard to stretch his muscles.
"Amazing!"
Qin Hongyu slowly woke up, rubbing her sore stomach, gazing at Zhou Chen practicing through the window, with tenderness nearly spilling from her eyes.
She got out of bed and joined in practicing swordplay.
After finishing a round, Qin Hongyu felt a shudder throughout her body, her skin tingling, feeling as if she had transformed and ascended like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
She had broken through!
With Body Refining completed, she had advanced to the Body Refining Second Layer.
"I’ve broken through!"
Qin Hongyu shouted, trembling with excitement.
"Congratulations!"
Zhou Chen smiled, genuinely happy for Qin Hongyu.
"Brother Chen, thank you!"
Qin Hongyu suddenly stepped forward, wrapping her white arms around Zhou Chen’s neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.
What she achieved today was entirely thanks to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen lowered his head to return the kiss, lifted Qin Hongyu’s round bottom, and strode into the room.
By afternoon.
Zhou Chen got out of bed, thinking of the Celestial Fragrance Fairy, he couldn’t help but miss her.
"Just right for a trip to the city!"
Zhou Chen immediately mounted his beloved Jiaolong Horse and galloped away, reaching the Celestial Immortal Tower in less than half an hour.
Entering the Celestial Immortal Tower, Zhou Chen noticed significantly fewer people, probably due to the killings the day before, with many around him gazing at him with awe.
"Master Zhou, you’re here!"
Sister Xing hurriedly came up with a bright smile:
"Master Zhou is here to see Tianxiang?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Chen nodded, took out a silver ingot and handed it to Sister Xing, casually receiving praise.
Very impressive.
"Master Zhou, please upstairs."
Sister Xing led Zhou Chen upstairs to the Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s room.
"Tianxiang, Master Zhou is here!"
Jade opened the door and welcomed Zhou Chen in.
Stepping into the room, a faint fragrance filled the air, soothing and pleasing the mind.
The Celestial Fragrance Fairy walked over with a fragrant aura, slightly more mature and enchanting than the day before.
Zhou Chen was even more captivated, as she had only grown more charming under his care.
"Tianxiang greets you, young master."
"No need for formalities."
Zhou Chen held her soft, fair hand and seated her beside him.
The Celestial Fragrance Fairy gracefully poured wine.
"Young master, you were truly magnificent yesterday, that Zhao Yao dared to attempt assassination, oblivious to his peril."
The Celestial Fragrance Fairy smiled sweetly, her voice so soft and melodic that no words could describe it, exceedingly pleasant and captivating.
"Isn’t it the fairy’s overwhelming allure?"
Embracing her soft, slender waist, Zhou Chen pulled her onto his lap, joking:
"As they say, to die under the peony flower is a charming ghost’s fate, he didn’t die in vain."
"Indeed."
The Celestial Fragrance Fairy giggled, lamenting:
"It’s a pity I couldn’t witness your Yi Arrow Skill yesterday, despite having long admired its fame, truly regretful."
"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I just used ordinary archery yesterday."
Zhou Chen chuckled, kissed the Celestial Fragrance Fairy’s smooth forehead:
"I’ll personally teach you advanced archery later!"
"You better not be deceiving me?"
The Celestial Fragrance Fairy cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Chen, full of flirtation, clearly understanding the implication of his words.
"I’ll teach you now!"
"Ah, young master is truly... mhm..."
Zhou Chen wholeheartedly taught, soon night fell.
The full moon hung high.
Zhou Chen left a message for Qin Hongyu, saying he wouldn’t return tonight.
Zhou Chen went out for dinner, overhearing unexpected yet reasonable news.
The Zhao Family, where Zhao Yao belonged, who he shot dead last night, had been exterminated.
Zhou Chen did not have a saintly heart, nor sympathy; he just felt a bit introspective, realizing how fragile life often is.
Not only for the common people living on the edge, but even for a Cyan Cloud City family like the Zhao Family, they could be wiped out in an instant.
Regardless of whether Zhao Yao acted in a moment of impulse or planned assassination, the outcome was determined when he attacked Zhou Chen.
Assassinating a true inheritor, the Cyan Cloud Sect always handled severely.
Moreover, would Zhao Yao’s parents, siblings, and offspring bear hatred and seek revenge against Zhou Chen?
To prevent future troubles.
It was naturally a complete extermination.
"Indeed, it’s good to have a big tree to lean on."
Zhou Chen mused, had this followed a plot from his past life novels, wouldn’t this scenario drag on for dozens or hundreds of Chapters?
He kills Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao’s family seeks revenge.
He kills again.
And they return.
He kills again.
All the way through killing and leveling up.
Eventually extinguishing the Zhao Family, concluding a small climax.
Yet now with the Cyan Cloud Sect, there was no need for Zhou Chen to take action; overnight, the Zhao Family, to which Zhao Yao belonged, faced extermination.
"Feeling jovial today, I want to take on ten!"
After feasting and drinking, Zhou Chen ordered ten top courtesans from the Celestial Immortal Tower.
Continuing their path to enlightenment together.
The next day.
Sun high in the sky.
Zhou Chen left, satisfied, and returned to Divine Arrow Peak.
At Divine Arrow Peak, Zhou Chen encountered Li Changfeng and Li Changhen, the latter giving a slight nod of acknowledgement with a cold expression.
Li Changfeng patted Zhou Chen’s shoulder, smiling in praise:
"You’ve done well, kid, haven’t disgraced me!"
"Back in my day, anyone who dared to compete for the courtesan with me, I’d shoot their mothers with my arrows!"
Zhou Chen rubbed his nose, his expression puzzled:
"Master, is shooting their mothers with arrows proper?"
...
