Chapter 539: Sharing the Burden
Chapter 539: Sharing the Burden
For the Bai family, their thinking was simple: since they had already sided with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, they would go all the way.
Both Bai Susu and Bai Yuntian were very optimistic about Su Jingzhen’s potential.
Judging from the battle in the main square and Qiu Yaoyao’s impressive performance, everything indicated that following Su Jingzhen was the right choice.
Even if the Bai family became an affiliate of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, so what?
After today’s events spread, countless forces would want to become their affiliates, but they wouldn’t be able to.
With the general direction and trend set, the various details were left to Ouyang Mingyue, Feng Xuan, and others to discuss.
These seasoned veterans were adept at handling such matters, far more familiar with the intricacies than Su Jingzhen.
He didn’t have to worry about those details.
After two hours, everyone began to leave the conference hall, their faces beaming with excitement.
Su Jingzhen returned to the courtyard.The maids, including Qiu Ye, had been waiting for a long time.
Qiu Yue and the others already knew about Su Jingzhen’s previous exploits.
They looked at him with increasing awe, fearing that they might not be able to serve him well.
Seeing their worried expressions, Su Jingzhen smiled.
“There’s no need for that. Just treat me as the same Su Jingzhen as before.
By the way, if any of my maids want any cultivation techniques or resources, just let the steward know.
If you really have the talent, don’t waste it.”
On the outside, Su Jingzhen could be a ruthless, smiling demon.
But to his own people, he wouldn’t be stingy.
“Thank you, Master!”
The maids were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude once again.
Su Jingzhen nodded, suddenly feeling a bit listless.
After the previous battle and the display of his formidable martial arts skills, he felt out of place in Qingzhou.
He suddenly understood why some cultivators left their familiar environment after reaching a certain level and never returned.
It wasn’t just that the spiritual energy was scarce.
There was a sense of loneliness at the top.
Su Jingzhen sighed again, “Fortunately, my empathy system is designed to find me romantic interests. Otherwise, how lonely it would be when I reach the summit.”
While muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen went to Luo Yuebai’s courtyard.
Xuening was also with her.
When they saw Su Jingzhen arrive, both women’s eyes lit up with excitement.
By now, they had already heard about the events in the main square.
They stared at Su Jingzhen intently.
“I heard that you’ve become a member of Heavenly Dragon? Show us your dragon scales!”
Luo Yuebai’s voice was filled with curiosity and excitement.
Before Su Jingzhen could show anything, golden characters appeared in front of him.

The anticipation in their hearts was unprecedented.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate.
Since he had already shown his scales to the world, it wasn’t a big deal for Luo Yuebai and Xuening to see them.
He immediately took off his shirt and activated his blood energy.
The majestic Heavenly Dragon scales suddenly appeared on his body, shimmering with unparalleled defensive power.
The eyes of the women shone even brighter, and they couldn’t help but reach out to touch them.
They marveled at the sight.
“It’s true, you really are a member of Heavenly Dragon. No wonder you’re progressing so fast; it must be during your bloodline awakening.”
“That explains why your combat power is getting stronger and stronger. So that’s it.”
As Luo Yuebai muttered, an involuntary blush appeared on her face.
The ‘combat strength’ she mentioned might have a different meaning than what others would understand.
As the women marveled, the emotional shock caused more golden characters to flash in front of Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a mixture of appreciation and joy.
Fully revealing his strength had its advantages.
At least when dealing with these women, the points would come much more easily.
At this rate, Su Jingzhen knew that he would soon accumulate enough points to open the Yintang acupoint, which required 1,440 points.
After discussing the Heavenly Dragon Caln matter and chatting for a while, Xuening left.
Only Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen remained in the courtyard.
Although Su Jingzhen’s emotional connection with Xuening had also reached the level of ‘mutual affection’, Xuening’s face was thinner.
In the presence of Luo Yuebai, she dared not show too much intimacy with Su Jingzhen.
Like her personality, Xuening was pure, calm, and reserved in matters of affection.
After Xuening left, Su Jingzhen took Luo Yuebai into his arms.
He gently stroked her hair and said with a smile, “I told you before, with me here, we are sure to win the match against Zou Zeyu.
Now, with a year to go, no one can hurt you.
If I were Zou Zeyu, I’d run as far away as possible.
He wouldn’t dare mention a match.”
Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Luo Yuebai’s face showed a hint of emotion.
“Actually, this match was just a struggle for me, but I anticipated the outcome from the beginning.
Fortunately, you came.
Fate is truly wonderful.”
Luo Yuebai didn’t want her fate to be predetermined.
Looking back at those days, she still felt like she was in a dream.
At the beginning, she had just impulsively kept Su Jingzhen by her side.
She never imagined that her life would change so drastically because of Su Jingzhen.
Now, even though she had become the leader of the Evil Moon Sect, she didn’t feel much.
After all, the things she wanted seemed to have already been obtained.

Standing in the courtyard, they enjoyed each other’s company for a while.
As night fell, they naturally returned to the room, where Luo Yuebai extinguished all the lights as usual.
The scent of spring filled the room.
That night, Su Jingzhen went all out, and Luo Yuebai was posed in countless ways.
The act of dual cultivation was now both exciting and a bit frightening for Luo Yuebai.
Su Jingzhen was getting stronger and stronger, and she was having a hard time keeping up.
After this night, she was even more determined to find some help to share the burden.
After the intense battle during the day and the continuous night with Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen woke up early the next morning, feeling refreshed and not at all tired.
Seeing Luo Yuebai still curled up on the bed like a kitten, Su Jingzhen’s mood was excellent.
He started to collect his rewards.

?Remaining Points Available: 977?
This triggered eight additions, totaling 120 points.
Before Su Jingzhen could rejoice, the daily fixed points arrived as scheduled.
?Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 12, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dantai Xuening: 12?
?Remaining Points Available: 1035?
Now that the relationship with Feng Qingya had also improved, the daily fixed points had increased to 58.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart was even more excited.
It seemed like it would be very easy to reach the 1,440 points needed to open the Yintang acupoint.
“This is good. My information is probably already being monitored by many forces in the Luo River Basin.
The combat power they know about me is only comparable to a Soul Formation level.
When I get to the Luo River Basin, if anyone dares to challenge me, I’ll give them a surprise.”
In any world, hiding one’s true abilities is a great survival strategy.
Pretending to be weak to defeat strong opponents never fails.
Carefully getting out of bed, Su Jingzhen dressed and groomed herself before leaving Luo Yuebai’s courtyard.
Qiu Yaoyao had given him a month’s time.
He had to hurry to finish some tasks.
