Chapter 558: Chapter 272: What Decent Person Seduces a Widow?

"Tsk, the number one of Yunzhou’s younger generation. Looks like the Nie Family is getting antsy."

Upon learning that Nie Xiangjun, Nie Lingxi, and their party were about to arrive in Ning’an, Sun Yuzhi immediately informed Chen Sheng. Wasting no time, the two of them went out of the city to greet them.

Now, as they waited, Sun Yuzhi’s words were tinged with wonder.

"It’s just an empty title."

Chen Sheng smiled, paying it little mind.

He found concrete resources far more appealing than such things.

Thus, ever since the news about him had spread, Chen Sheng had consistently focused on his Cultivation, even though many people came to visit and curry favor with him.

Although his Cultivation had temporarily plateaued.

But Chen Sheng could still make improvements in his Mental Realm, Body Technique, and Divine Techniques.

In addition, there was the Bright Divine Pearl he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

The item was truly worthy of being the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect’s ultimate treasure; its effects were extraordinary. Although he had only used it to nourish himself for a few days, Chen Sheng could already feel the benefits.

The only pity was that the bottleneck to the late stage of Profound Mastery was somewhat dangerous. Chen Sheng wouldn’t risk an attempt until the Celestial Book gave him a clear ’Successful Breakthrough’ message.

"An empty title is still a title. Do you think the Nie Family will have you and Nie Lingxi marry ahead of schedule?"

Sun Yuzhi asked, glancing at Chen Sheng as if it were a casual question.

"Haven’t you already been in touch with Lingxi privately? What’s wrong? Did you not get along?"

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"I’m worried Miss Nie will have an issue with you and that... woman, Lan Yufei."

Sun Yuzhi turned her head, avoiding Chen Sheng’s gaze.

Her confidence seemed to falter.

Honestly, even though she had long since accepted the situation, Sun Yuzhi still didn’t want Chen Sheng to marry Nie Lingxi so quickly.

Before the wedding, she could be by Chen Sheng’s side.

But after the wedding, Nie Lingxi would be there too.

Even if the other woman was understanding and seemed kind, Sun Yuzhi still felt a little uncomfortable deep down.

"Then when the time comes, Yuzhi, you’ll have to put in a good word for me."

Chen Sheng said with a laugh, playing along.

"I’m not speaking up for you. Perfect. I can’t control you, so let’s have your fiancée rein in that philandering nature of yours," Sun Yuzhi huffed.

"Where is that coming from? You know Lady Lan was a special case."

Chen Sheng didn’t agree with his reputation as a philanderer.

’Every woman I’ve been with served a purpose. Madam Yang, Wang Zilan, and Lady Lan could aid my Cultivation. Sun Yuzhi can aid my Cultivation and is deeply devoted to me, so of course I won’t let her down. As for Nie Lingxi... our engagement was arranged because of her Nie Family background. I would never initiate contact with any other woman unless she could offer me some value. It’s no exaggeration to say that with my current status and power, if I were to indulge myself, I could have a new bride every night.’

Take the present situation, for example.

In Ning’an Prefecture, various sects and clans were trying every method imaginable to build a connection with him, even offering their own legitimate daughters to be his concubines, but Chen Sheng had refused them all.

This included Major Sects like the Iron Sword Sect and the Danxia Sect.

"Then what’s the deal with Bai Qing?"

Sun Yuzhi suddenly retorted.

"Sect Leader Bai..."

Chen Sheng smiled, finally understanding the source of Sun Yuzhi’s displeasure. He immediately explained,

"You’ve been friends with Sect Leader Bai for years. Don’t you know what she’s like? She’s just joking around."

"Joking? I doubt that."

Sun Yuzhi narrowed her eyes.

"If you were willing to have her, that Bai Qing would gladly offer herself to you right now."

"But the question is, have I accepted?"

Chen Sheng retorted.

’It’s true. Ever since I defeated Monk Yikong and became the number one talent in Yunzhou, Sect Leader Bai’s attitude has changed. Her words now carry a hint of seduction. I figure that if I were willing, she would absolutely offer herself to me. The problem is, she doesn’t have a special constitution, nor can she aid my Cultivation. So why should I accept? One has to have value to be worthy of my acceptance. And clearly, the current Bai Qing doesn’t possess such qualifications.’

"I’m not trying to control you. I’m just worried about the effect it could have on you."

Sun Yuzhi pursed her lips. Seeing Chen Sheng’s solemn expression, she quickly explained.

Chen Sheng smiled. Just as he was about to say something, his ears twitched. Hearing the somewhat familiar cry of a luan in the distance, he stopped talking and turned to look.

A streak of cyan light sped toward them from the distant horizon.

In a flash, it reached their location.

Then.

Three graceful figures slowly descended from the sky.

It was none other than Nie Xiangjun and her party.

Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over them. Once the three had steadied themselves, he stepped forward to exchange greetings.

"Zhenren Nie, Miss Lingshan, Lingxi."

Finally, Chen Sheng’s gaze came to rest on Nie Lingxi’s radiant face. She, in turn, was looking right at him, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Ah, to be welcomed personally by the number one talent of Yunzhou. I’m quite flattered."

Nie Xiangjun said with a smile, joking with Chen Sheng.

Although the gap between their cultivation realms was immense, there was little ceremony between them. They even held a mutual appreciation for one another, which was helped by Nie Xiangjun’s own free-spirited nature.

Naturally, she wouldn’t put on airs in front of Chen Sheng.

"You flatter me, Senior. I don’t deserve such praise."

Chen Sheng replied with timely modesty.

Nie Lingshan, on the other hand, seemed a little different from her usual self. She simply smiled and nodded.

"Chen Sheng, it’s been a while."
