Although Su Chen has the formidable Dragon-ying Sword, he never neglects his cultivation!


    Firstly, the Dragon-ying Sword cannot be easily used, and secondly, it is not all-powerful!


    Although the Dragon-ying Sword can easily y those in the Kaiyuan Middle Stage, what about the Kaiyuan Late Stage, or even Perfection in Kaiyuan?


    Even if the Dragon-ying Sword can still prevail, what about the Condensation Pill Realm?


    Moreover, is there not a realm even more powerful than the Condensation Pill Realm?


    Therefore, the most fundamental thing is to improve one''s own strength, as external items are ultimately just auxiliary!


    In the worst-case scenario, only if one is strong themselves can the Dragon-ying Sword unleash greater power!


    If an ordinary person were to use the Dragon-ying Sword, the power they could unleash would be quite limited!


    ....


    That day, after Su Chen finished cultivating, he walked out of his room and saw a graceful woman in a swimsuit resting on a lounge chair by the hot spring pool in the middle of the vi. Who else but Yan Xi could it be?


    Since the girls often soaked in the hot spring, they ced a dozen lounge chairs by the pool to rest asionally and then continue soaking.


    When Yan Xi saw Su Chening out, she was startled and immediately pulled up a white towel beside her to cover her body!


    Although she had soaked a few times, it was always when Su Chen was cultivating, and she hadn''t been seen by him yet!


    Normally, Su Chen''s cultivation sessionssted several hours, so why did hee out after just one or two hours today?!


    Although she was quite familiar with Su Chen, she was still embarrassed to be seen by him in a swimsuit!


    It was her first time wearing so little in front of Su Chen, so she naturally couldn''t be unconcerned!


    "What''s there to cover? It''s not like there''s anything to see anyway!"


    Su Chen saw Yan Xi on high alert and said while pouting.


    Of course, Su Chen said this on purpose, perhaps subconsciously to retaliate for the way she had scolded him a few days ago!


    Wasn''t that quite humiliating?


    "What did you say? Who has nothing to see?"


    Yan Xi has always been very confident in her figure; saying anything else about her is fine, but saying her figure isn''t good is absolutely not eptable!


    Upon hearing her words, Su Chen didn''t respond verbally; he just gave the towel she was holding a disdainful nce!


    Su Chen''s look made Yan Xi feel quite hurt, even insulted!


    If he had said something harsh, it would have been better, but with him saying nothing and just looking disdainfully, Yan Xi found it difficult to ept!


    "Open your eyes wide and take a good look, there''s nothing about me that''scking!"


    Yan Xi threw the towel away and stood up suddenly!


    The exquisite curves of her front and back were immediately disyed before Su Chen''s eyes, and the droplets leftover from her hot spring bath glistened under the setting sun!


    For a moment, Su Chen''s eyes were a bit fixated!


    It''s undeniable, this little girl indeed has quite the assets!


    No wonder when they first met, Su Chen was deeply impressed by her outstanding figure!


    "It''s just a C, what''s with the unting?"


    At this moment, Su Chen naturally couldn''t admit defeat, at least not verbally!


    "Which eye of yours saw a C? It''s clearly a D, okay?"


    Yan Xi said angrily with her hands on her hips.


    Her heaving chest was quite a spectacle!


    "Really? Howe I didn''t see that?"


    Su Chen still maintained a nonchnt tone, making Yan Xi grit her teeth in anger, almost wanting to bite him!


    "Oh, Su Chen, you''re such a beast, not even sparing Yan Xi!"


    At this moment, a teasing voice rang out.


    Qi Meng had heard some noise, so she came out from her room.


    Not just her, but the other girls also came out one by one!


    When they saw the two of them, every woman''s face disyed a gossipy expression!


    Yan Xi, who had been furious, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed when she saw everyoneing out!


    Especially since she had just been wearing a rather sexy swimsuit in front of Su Chen!


    "We seemed to hear something about C or D, what were you guys talking about?"


    Eniel also had a sly smile as she asked.


    "Yes, I heard it too. Why don''t you tell us, and we can all discuss it together!"


    Du Hanbing said with augh as she looked at Su Chen.


    "We heard it too!"


    The other girls chimed in one after another!


    These words made Yan Xi even more embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into!


    In her excitement earlier, her voice inevitably became a bit louder, not expecting everyone to hear!


    "We were just discussing a serious academic issue. When we have time, we can research it together!"


    Su Chen said with a straight face, not skipping a beat.


    "Seems like it''s quite a profound topic!"


    Eniel teased with a smile.


    The girls, hearing Su Chen''s nonsense, couldn''t help but think to themselves—what a bunch of nonsense!


    Even Yan Xi was speechless at him, couldn''t hee up with a better excuse?


    "I''ll go back to my room first!"


    Feeling utterly embarrassed, Yan Xi said as she blushed and quickly ran back to her room!


    "Su Chen, be honest, what did you do to Yan Xi just now?"


    Eniel yfully asked as she walked up to Su Chen.


    "Yes, confess honestly, or face stricter measures!"


    Qi Meng also chimed in with a grin, not wanting to miss out on the fun.


    "What are you thinking? We were just chatting casually!"


    Su Chen replied speechlessly with a pout.


    "Alright, let''s stop teasing him."


    Du Hanbingughed and said, trying to smooth things over!


    The girls all gave Su Chen an amused look but decided not to continue joking, then headed back indoors.


    The incident was just a small interlude!


    Su Chen also nned to return to his room to continue cultivating...


    Just then, his phone rang, and seeing it was from his aunt Su Jin, he quickly picked it up.


    "Aunt, what''s up?"


    Su Chen asked casually.


    "What do you mean what''s up? You''ve almost forgotten about me, haven''t you?"


    On the other end of the line, Su Jin''s somewhat displeased voice came through.


    "Aunt, how could I?"


    Su Chen chuckled awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.


    Indeed, he had contacted his aunt less often this year, thest time being twenty days ago.


    He had visited even less frequently, only four or five times this year!


    "Alright,e over for dinner tonight."


    Su Jin said.


    "Okay, aunt, I''ll get in touch with Ruoxue, and we''lle together."


    Su Chen readily agreed, not yet daring to bring all the women to visit Su Jin!


    "No need, just youe. I saw Ruoxue a few days ago."


    Su Jin quickly said on the phone.


    Su Chen was taken aback by Su Jin''s words, considering their close rtionship, even closer than he was with his aunt as her nephew!


    And now, she wants him toe alone, making it all seem a bit odd.


    Su Chen thought about how every time he visited Su Jin this year, she seemed to have something on her mind, often appearing hesitant to speak.


    He couldn''t help but wonder: could it be that the reason aunt called today isn''t just because she hasn''t seen me in a while, but because there''s something special?


    "Alright, aunt, I''lle over shortly."


    Su Chen then said and hung up the phone.
