Chapter 1702: Chapter 1699: Bathing with Sister-in-law

Upon hearing Xu Wendong agreed, everyone showed a look of joy, hurriedly expressing their gratitude.

To them, Master Wudao’s murder was indeed something terrifying.

After all, with his death, someone would surely eye Qingyuan City, planning to dominate it.

Such things were not uncommon.

But what filled them with delight was.

Even if Master Wudao was killed, they had encountered an even more powerful protector!

This was absolutely a great fortune!

Without much thought.

The elder leading the group was the first to react, a flash of resolve passed through his eyes.

He respectfully took out an ancient wooden box from his storage bag, holding it with trembling hands, he presented it to Xu Wendong, saying, "Senior, this is a thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng I had the fortune to obtain in my youth. Its spiritual energy is abundant and pure, greatly beneficial for cultivation. Today, I present it to you as a token of gratitude, hoping you would accept it with a smile."

The other cultivators saw this and followed suit.

In an instant, a variety of treasures appeared before Xu Wendong in a dazzling display.

There were talismans radiating a faint glow, seeming to seal a mysterious power, elixirs exuding spiritual energy, indicating their extraordinary quality at a glance, and magical treasures with peculiar shapes, engraved with ancient runes...

The spiritual power fluctuations from these treasures intertwined, causing the surrounding air to stir restlessly.

A middle-aged cultivator in a blue robe carefully presented a longsword, its blade gleaming coldly and runes flickering. He said with trepidation, "Senior, this sword is called Cold Star Sword, obtained during a dangerous exploration. It cuts through iron like mud, possessing extraordinary power, hoping it catches your eye to aid you."

Xu Wendong looked at these treasures indifferently, showing neither much delight nor refusal, as if all was within his expectations.

He lightly raised his hand, a gentle burst of spiritual power emerged, lifting the treasures into his storage, then said calmly, "Since you have this intention, I’ll accept it."

"From now on, just focus on your cultivation and abide by the rules, and I’ll ensure your safety."

Though these cultivation resources might be valuable, they held little value to Xu Wendong. Even if more elixirs and herbs were given to him, they could hardly help him elevate his cultivation level.

However, these cultivation resources were essential treasures for Zhang Nian, helping her consolidate her cultivation and enhance her strength.

Seeing Xu Wendong accept the treasures, everyone’s hearts finally settled, they bowed again to express their loyalty.

Xu Wendong glanced around, noticing the varied expressions of the people, but their reverence was unmistakable. He said, "The Mystic Spirit Pavilion is my shop, if you ever need anything in the future, come find me here!"

"Alright, that’s it for now, you can go back!"

"Farewell, Senior!" The crowd respectfully bid farewell and swiftly disappeared into the darkness.

After everyone left, Xu Wendong casually sent those resources beside Zhang Nian: "You can use these for now, and once your cultivation level improves, I’ll give you something better."

Zhang Nian received them like treasures, her eyes full of gratitude: "Master treats me so well, I have nothing to offer in return, except to give you myself, hoping you won’t disdain me!"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Wendong’s lips twitched hard.

His heart filled with a complex feeling.

Firstly, he had passed on his skills to Zhang Nian, and they indeed shared a mentor-disciple relationship.

Secondly, such a relationship was inherently forbidden.

Not to mention, Zhang Nian was also Liu Shimei’s daughter!

This made him somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to handle the feelings between them.

"It’s late, I’ll head back first, you should focus on cultivating!" Xu Wendong said calmly and left Antique City, then drove his Mercedes back home.

Upon Xu Wendong’s arrival at home and opening the door, an enticing aroma of food greeted him immediately.

Lin Yiren, smiling like a blossom, came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron with a teddy bear pattern. She gently tucked her hair behind her ear and softly said, "You’re back, are you tired? I’ve made your favorite sweet and sour ribs, along with some new dishes I learned, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Xu Wendong felt a warmth in his heart, and the day’s fatigue seemed to fade a little.

He nodded slightly, agreed, and went to wash his hands.

At the dining table, Lin Yiren occasionally added dishes to Xu Wendong’s plate, her eyes full of concern and tenderness.

Xu Wendong enjoyed the warmth of home.

"Where were you last night?" Lin Yiren asked suddenly.

Xu Wendong had been back for several days, spending every night intimately with her except for the previous night, which made her a little worried.

"Ahem!" Xu Wendong blushed slightly, feigning calmness: "I met an old friend last night."

"Did you?" Lin Yiren’s face displayed a knowing smile, "Was it a man or a woman?"

Xu Wendong awkwardly took a sip of water, honestly answered, "A woman, a friend I met in Haicheng. Her husband passed away unexpectedly, so she brought her daughter to Qingyuan City, and we happened to reunite by chance yesterday."

"Invite her over for a meal sometime, I should fulfill the duties of a host to thank her for her past ’care’ for you." Lin Yiren, wearing a teasing smile, showed no jealousy about Xu Wendong meeting another woman because she knew his flirtatious nature.

Xu Wendong smiled widely: "Although she took good care of me, none of them can compare to you, sister-in-law!"

Lin Yiren blushed, tenderly asking, "Then how do you plan to repay sister-in-law?"

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow: "Shall I serve you tonight?"

Lin Yiren’s eyes lit up: "It’s settled then, let’s eat first, then we’ll take a bath upstairs to relax!"

In the bathroom, the warm yellow light mingled with the hot steam, casting wild and ambiguous shadows on the walls.

Lin Yiren’s lotus steps lightly moved as she slowly stepped into the bathtub, rippling layers of blood-stirring, captivating water patterns.

She gracefully turned to face Xu Wendong, her fingers hooked like the most alluring demoness, gently catching the nearly transparent shoulder strap of her negligée, with a slight tug, it slid off like a startled rabbit.

In an instant.

Her smooth, jade-like shoulder was exposed, followed by a vast area of alabaster skin, unveiled before Xu Wendong’s eyes without reservation.

The proud, full bosom, half-concealed under the veil of steam, the nipples faintly visible, exuded a deadly allure!
