Chapter 1001 The Three Men

Various explosions continued to resound in one area on the first floor, accompanied by the pained roars of the beasts, especially since a man was venting his anger on them, making the other cultivators not dare to approach the area.

In another area, three men were busy picking up the drops they got from all the beasts they killed earlier, and one of them turned his head towards the location of the big fight. “What happened to Ning Fan? Why does he seem so furious?”

“Do you still not understand his character, Hou Liang?” Wan Jian posed this question while observing Ning Fan’s battle site. “There are only two things that can make him so angry: First, Junior Sister Xue’er rejected him. Second, he failed to get another woman.”

“Hahaha!” That made Chui Song laugh out loud. “Before Junior Sister Xue’er arrived, he had always been able to get any woman he wanted by using his clan’s reputation, but the situation changed after he met her for the first time. No matter how hard he tried to approach her, she always gave him the cold shoulder, and he couldn’t use his clan’s reputation to pressure her, especially since she was Old Jian’s favorite disciple.”

“The Ning Clan is indeed superior in our realm, but Old Jian is far superior to them, and she will destroy the clan if Ning Fan and his clan dare to suppress Junior Sister Xue’er.” The two men nodded in agreement with Wen Jian, but he then spoke again. “Honestly, I am very interested in having Junior Sister Xue’er as my wife, but I am fully aware that I will never succeed in winning her heart, especially since she clearly likes that man named Mo Chen, and she even trains so hard without knowing the time for him.”

“Haha.” Chui Song laughed out loud once again before patting Wan Jian on the shoulder. “You’re certainly not bad, but you fell in love with the wrong woman. Moreover, you’ve heard for yourself that Tianshi praised Mo Chen to the skies, and I don’t doubt her words about him one bit, so you don’t need to feel disappointed.”

Wan Jian let out a soft sigh before shaking his head. “I’m different from Ning Fan, and I’m not disappointed in the slightest for not being able to get Junior Sister Xue’er. After all, feelings can’t be forced, and I completely understand her feelings for Mo Chen.”

“That’s good! You are truly a gentleman, Brother Wan!” Hou Liang then said to them. “Speaking of Mo Chen, Tianshi’s praise for him, coupled with Junior Sister’s feelings for him, makes me truly curious about him, especially about his raw strength and the strength of his body. Do you really think he can knock me unconscious with one punch?”

“Since Tianshi has said so, I think it is very likely that it could happen.” Chui Song replied to Huo Liang with a nod. “Moreover, she also stated that my magical movement technique would be useless against him, so I’m curious about his true speed.”

Their words made Wan Jian fall into deep thought for a while before speaking to them again. “Brother Hou, you are a body cultivator, and Brother Song is a speed cultivator. If Mo Chen can match the physical strength and speed of the two of you, doesn’t that mean he is a combination of the two? I know that some cultivators can combine physical strength and speed altogether, but he came from the lower realm, and the knowledge of people in the lower realms about cultivation should not be as much as ours, as evidenced by Junior Sister Xue’er and Junior Sister Chang’er. When they first arrived in our realm, their understanding of cultivation was inadequate, lacking in many fundamental concepts; even Old Jian and the others had to provide extensive explanations to the two of them, which is why I find him unusual.”

Hou Liang and Chui Song tried to recall their first meeting with the Xuanyuan Sisters, and they also felt that their knowledge of cultivation was indeed still shallow at that time. However, they were smart women, and they could absorb Jian Xian and the others’ explanations quickly, which made their progress quite rapid in the past few months.

*Clasped*

Chui Song suddenly clasped his hands and looked toward the second-floor gate. “It’s useless if we keep wondering about Mo Chen, and all we can do is to clear out the beasts on this floor as soon as possible, so we can go to the upper floors afterward.”

“Does that mean you think that Mo Chen has already gone to the upper floors?” Hou Liang asked him.

“Yes.” Chui Song nodded in response. “Didn’t you two also hear those people say earlier that there were three mythical beasts and dozens of people who had gone to the upper floors? My gut feeling tells me that Mo Chen is one of them, so I want to catch up to him as soon as possible, and we can prove Tianshi’s words about him after we meet him later.”

Hearing that, Wan Jian immediately walked forward, releasing almost all of his strength. “I also want to know about the man that Junior Sister Xue’er is so fond of, so let’s use our full strength to slaughter these weak beasts.”

Hou Liang and Chui Song exchanged glances for a moment before both of them burst out laughing, and they also released almost all of their strength before spreading out in several directions, slaughtering all the beasts that stood in their way.

However, their actions made the other cultivators feel pressured once again, especially since the three of them looked like madmen. However, the pressure they experienced was not as intense as that of Ling Yun and the two mythical beasts, particularly considering that the three men were ordinary humans.

Xiao Xiao and the others made the decision to conclude their training, particularly because most of them had nearly depleted their qi. They wanted to take a break to replenish their qi, especially since their husband would start moving again tomorrow.

“Hmm? This guy sleeps like a dead boar.” Song Su commented as she looked at Ling Yun’s sleeping face on Zhou Yu’s lap. “Is using his complete dragon form so burdensome on his body?”

“Yes.” Feng Ruxue responded to Song Su’s inquiry. “Although he has inherited many things from the old dragon, our husband is still not a complete dragon, and he has to obtain some other inheritances before he can become a true dragon, so his complete dragon form is still burdensome on his body. Moreover, he has been using that form for three days straight, so it is normal for him to sleep this soundly.”

Song Su nodded in understanding after hearing that, but then she commented again. “However, this guy is weird, andhis qi won’t stop circulating inside his body.”

“Haha.” Xiao Xiao laughed softly as she rubbed Song Su’s head. “In fact, our husband can cultivate even while he is sleeping, and he is the only cultivator who can do so in this universe. That’s why you should be grateful that he chose you to be part of us, and it would be better if you gave yourself to him soon.”

The corner of Song Su’s lips twitched at Xiao Xiao’s words, but she did not deny that Ling Yun was indeed special, and no other man could compare to him. Despite her growing attraction to him, particularly due to his excessive aggression, she still found it peculiar to be a human’s wife.

“Do you think he will wake up tomorrow?” Tian Yueling suddenly asked them.

Instead, Feng Ling’er asked Tian Yueling back. “Do you still not understand your future husband’s character even though you have been living with him for the past few months?”

“He spends more time with you guys, remember?” Tian Yuelin replied while shaking her head. “Even though we’ve lived together for quite a long time, our relationship is still stagnant, so it’s natural that I don’t really understand him, right?”

“If you feel that way, then you should be more proactive with him, and he won’t refuse if you give yourself to him directly.” Tian Yueling turned to Mao Erlong with a frown, but then she pointed to Dongfang Jingjing. “You knew him first, but Jingjing’s relationship with him is several steps ahead of yours.”

Tian Yueling then turned to look at Dongfang Jingjing, who immediately turned her red face to the side. She sighed into her heart, thinking about her relationship with Ling Yun.

“Anyway, you’ve never even kissed him, right?” Tian Yueling felt embarrassed and unable to refute Shang Meiqi’s question, which made her and the others laugh. “Why don’t you try kissing him?”

Tian Yueling raised her eyebrows and took a serious look at Ling Yun’s face, thinking of following Shang Meiqi’s idea. Before long, she let out a soft sigh and moved their faces closer, but he suddenly opened his eyes, startling her, so she canceled her intention.

“Why did you wake up suddenly?” Zhou Yu asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Xuanyuan Xue’er has arrived.” Ling Yun replied with a broad smile. “Zhou Yu, I want you to go to the first floor and bring her here.”
