Su Chen shrugged helplessly as he listened to Phoenix Dawn's parting words.
She was a girl with a strong sense of vigilance.
But in all honesty, Su Chen really didn't have any ulterior motives. It was just that after ordering Phoenix Dawn around a few times, Su Chen felt she was quite capable. He thought about how he'd definitely run into a lot of trouble in Spirit Mountain. If he could pull her over to his side, then his position as a guest elder wouldn't be completely empty.
Unfortunately, this girl didn't appreciate it ….
"Forget it, I'll just focus on cultivating. Don't think about those useless things."
Although he said that, cultivating step by step was impossible. The system was still upgrading, and Lady Providence still hadn't fulfilled her promise. Su Chen still had to wait, wait for Lady Providence to personally appear.
She'd definitely come back. Su Chen was certain of this.
She hadn't come for him, but for Yu Tianheng.
… …
Night fell.
In the valley, the guests who'd come to congratulate him had already left. The disciples were cleaning up the mess.
Only now did Su Chen descend the mountain.
"Greetings, Elder Su."
The disciples all bowed in greeting.
Fan Weiwei walked over. "Elder Su, these are the congratulatory gifts we received today. There's a total of three hundred and twenty-seven items. Would you like me to count them for you?"
Su Chen glanced at them casually, then lost all interest. "No need. These gifts are for you. Take them and divide them equally."
The value of the gifts wasn't low, but none of them could enter Su Chen's eyes.
"Many thanks, Elder Su."
Everyone was overjoyed and knelt down to express their gratitude.
Su Chen didn't think much of these gifts, but to most of them, they were already rare treasures. Any one of them would bring them great benefits.
Su Chen's words had caused the disciples' favorable impression of him to rise quite a bit.
As expected, only tangible benefits could move people the most.
"Weiwei, accompany me for a walk nearby."
Su Chen said to Fan Weiwei.
Fan Weiwei was slightly taken aback, and then her beautiful face flushed red. She seemed to have realized something, and she became nervous and perturbed.
The two strolled for an hour under the moonlight before returning to their residence on the top of Lingxia Peak.
Fan Weiwei watched as Su Chen walked towards the bedroom. She hesitated for a moment before following him.
"Go back and rest."
Su Chen said indifferently.
Fan Weiwei immediately blushed and ran away with an embarrassed expression.
Su Chen closed the door and shook his head regretfully. He muttered, "I really came at a bad time."
"Are you blaming me for ruining your plans?"
Inside the room, Lady Providence sat alone by the window, pouring herself a cup of wine. She wore a red dress, and although she didn't emit any spiritual power, Su Chen still felt an immense pressure.
Su Chen bowed. "Niang niang must be joking. How would I dare?"
"Enough nonsense. You should know that I didn't come to see you."
Su Chen blushed with shame. This lady's personality really was straightforward.
In the next second, Su Chen's figure suddenly changed. He switched to his clone.
Not only did his appearance change, but his temperament also changed. In order to match Yu Tianheng's identity as a reincarnated immortal, Su Chen could even circulate a portion of immortal qi around him.
After all, Lady Providence wasn't someone to be trifled with. If you wanted to trick her, you'd have to do everything right.
Even the slightest mistake would arouse her suspicions, and the consequences would be severe.
"Junior Martial Sister, isn't it boring to drink alone?"
Lady Providence's expression softened visibly, and even her voice took on a feminine quality.
"Then, Senior Martial Brother, would you like to drink a few cups with me?"
Yu Tianheng walked up confidently. He didn't need to do it himself; Lady Providence had already filled his cup with fine wine.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere was calm and peaceful.
Yu Tianheng was the first to speak.
"I don't have much time. Junior Martial Sister, is there nothing you want to say to me?"
"Even if I have a thousand things I want to say, as soon as I see you, Senior Martial Brother, I won't be able to say anything."
Oh my, Lady Providence, you're pretty good at flirting.
"Then tell me how you've been all these years."
"Since time is limited, why waste it on things that have already passed?"
Lady Providence suddenly stood up, walked through the air, and sat down next to Yu Tianheng.
Eh, she was a bit close.
To tell the truth, Su Chen was still a bit nervous. He could only remind himself that he wasn't Su Chen, but the reincarnated immortal, Yu Tianheng. There was nothing for him to be nervous about. No matter how strong Lady Providence was, she was still just a little woman who secretly had feelings for him. He wasn't scared.
"Senior Martial Brother, do I look good?"
Lady Providence suddenly leaned forward, looking straight ahead with her bright eyes, a hint of seduction in the corners of her eyes.
Damn, she was too much of a monster!
But Yu Tianheng wasn't moved in the slightest.
Su Chen was well aware of Yu Tianheng's infatuation. He even suspected that Lady Providence was doing this on purpose to test his sincerity. So, at times like this, Su Chen needed to maintain his calm and not be moved in the slightest.
"Junior Martial Sister, you're drunk."
Lady Providence suddenly grew angry, and her tone became a bit more serious. "Senior Martial Brother, you're always like this!
You're always like this. You clearly know how I feel about you, so why can't you just directly respond? Could it be that accepting me really makes things so difficult for you? "
Su Chen saw that the situation wasn't right. No matter how he responded, it would be difficult to justify himself. He might as well just switch back to his original form and avoid the brunt of her anger.
"Uh …. Lady Providence, what are you doing?"
Lady Providence stood up again and gazed at the full moon outside the window. After a long moment of silence, she suddenly said, "Since he's unwilling to accompany me, then you'll accompany me. Drink."
Su Chen's neck shrank back. "Are we just going to drink like this? At least prepare some dishes to go with the wine."
"Up to you."
Su Chen cheerfully ran to the kitchen and brought out some dishes to go with the wine. He began to drink with Lady Providence.
"Lady Providence, you promised to help me increase my cultivation. Does that still count?"
"I'm not in the mood. We'll talk about it again in a few days."
Su Chen didn't dare get angry. He coaxed, "Lady Providence, don't be angry. You've known the Revered One for so many years, you should understand his nature. He's just a block of wood. There's no point in getting angry with him. If you want to pursue a man, the most effective way is to force yourself on him. No matter what, first take his body, then the rest will be easy to deal with."
Lady Providence immediately glared at him coldly. "Who do you think you are? You think you have the right to point fingers at me?
If it weren't for Senior Martial Brother, do you think you'd be alive now? "
Su Chen decisively shut his mouth and continued drinking.
The disparity in treatment between before and after had opened Su Chen's eyes. In front of Su Chen, Lady Providence could be said to be a bootlicker. But in front of him, she was still the same Saint King expert who controlled Spirit Mountain and Tranquil Province. Her every word and action determined the life and death of all living things.
Most importantly, Su Chen had both types of treatment. It was a subtle yet secretly satisfying feeling ….
