Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Lin Ruoxue's Thoughts
Su Chen felt something extremely soft press against his face, which was incredibly comfortable.
The whiny voice of Lin Ruoxue in his ears sounded like music from heaven, turning all his bones to mush.
Slowly, Su Chen opened his eyes, only to see that Lin Ruoxue's face was already flushed with embarrassment.
Her gaze darted about, avoiding meeting Su Chen's mischievous look.
"You bad guy!"
Lin Ruoxue scolded him silently in her heart.
But what could she do since she had lost the bet? It was all the fault of that guy for making such a bizarre request, demanding she kiss him and also call out "Husband, I love you!"
She really didn't know how he came up with such a wicked idea.
In sharp contrast to Lin Ruoxue's intense emotions, Su Chen was feeling utterly delighted.
He hadn't expected that Lin Ruoxue, the icy beauty, would take the initiative to kiss him and even cry out "Husband, I love you!"
Even now, Su Chen was still savoring that tender sensation!
It was just too brief a moment.
Lin Ruoxue sneakily glanced at Su Chen and saw that one of his hands was still touching the spot she had kissed, which made her feel even more embarrassed!
"What are you still doing here? Get going!"
Lin Ruoxue didn't know what else might happen if he continued to stay. In her eyes, Su Chen was definitely a dangerous creature!
"Alright, I'm leaving."
Su Chen walked out with a goofy smile, as if he had found a Gold Ingot.
After Su Chen had left, Lin Ruoxue quickly closed the door, then flung herself onto the couch, covering her face with her hands, feeling a bit overheated.
Today's events were absolutely a first for Lin Ruoxue—a groundbreaking day.
First, Su Chen had seen her body while treating her illness, even the more private areas, which she could overlook since Su Chen was in the role of a doctor.
But what happened afterwards was something Lin Ruoxue had never dreamt she would do of her own volition—she had actually taken the initiative to kiss that guy, and uttered those mushy words.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
After a while, Lin Ruoxue still buried her head in the couch, her face as red as a ripe apple that seemed to ooze juice when pinched. At that moment, she wished to be an ostrich.
Just then, the door suddenly creaked open.
Lin Ruoxue jumped in surprise, immediately sitting up, only to see Su Chen walking in with a small bowl in his hand.
"What are you doing back here?"
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen with a guarded expression, asking coldly.
"Wife, why is your face so red?" Su Chen asked with confusion.
"It's nothing!" Lin Ruoxue became somewhat flustered upon hearing Su Chen's words, then cooled down again, "Don't call me that in the future, although I just... Anyway, you're not allowed to call me that."
Lin Ruoxue was still not used to being addressed with the affectionate term "wife."
"Alright, President Lin, I've just made some date and yam soup. Hurry up and drink it while it's hot; it's good for your stomach," Su Chen didn't mind Lin Ruoxue's attitude at all, "Even though you're already cured, you still need to nourish yourself, can't be too careless."
"Alright, I know. You can go now."
Lin Ruoxue was slightly stunned before she waved her hand, feeling an inexplicable irritation in her heart.
"Okay, drink it while it's hot." Su Chen placed the bowl on the desk, then walked out and closed the door behind him.
Once again, Lin Ruoxue found herself alone in the room. She slowly approached the desk, looking at the bowl of soup still steaming, a complex emotion spreading in her heart.
....
Days went by one after another, and in the following months, Su Chen led a relatively quiet life without encountering any major turbulence.
However, after the incident that night, there was a subtle change in his relationship with Lin Ruoxue. Although not obvious, it was indeed there.
There was also a slight change in the situation within the security department, mainly because ever since Su Chen arrived, the company's two beauties, Lin Ruoxue and Xia Qiuru, would directly call for Su Chen when they needed a car for official matters.
This filled Pang San, the head of the driver's department, and Cao Kun, the deputy department head, with hostility towards Su Chen, fearing for the security of their positions, while others envied his frequent private time with the two beauties.
As for these petty minds, Su Chen couldn't be bothered to care, pretending not to see their resentful gazes.
However, there was one thing that Su Chen found strange: Wu Yuanpin, the second young master of the Wu Family, had not taken any action against him, which was decidedly out of character for scions of such prominent families.
To them, face was of utmost importance. Having been humiliated by Su Chen that day, Wu Yuanpin should have immediately sought frenzied revenge.
Su Chen estimated that there must be some important matter preoccupying him, and it was surely not out of magnanimity that he had spared him.
In the meantime, Su Chen frequently gathered with Ye Mei at the Cloud Sky Club, and naturally, he would often encounter Xiao Yaning. Every time Su Chen saw her, his gaze was drawn to her legs, which could be described as superb.
What frustrated Su Chen, though, was that Ye Mei didn't seem to have the slightest inclination to treat him as her master. Whenever Su Chen expressed dissatisfaction, Ye Mei always said that she would fulfill her promise after the matters with the Wu Family were settled.
Su Chen just mentioned it casually, as he found this way of interacting with Ye Mei quite comfortable. He was now more inclined to regard Ye Mei as a partner.
Having no significant power in Huaxia, he did have plans to groom Ye Mei, which was the main reason he needed her loyalty back then.
Nevertheless, the most exciting event for Su Chen in the past few months was his cultivation experiencing another breakthrough!
During this period, his cultivation progressed from the Qi Refinement First Layer to the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, achieving preliminary externalization of True Qi.
This speed was, without a doubt, many times faster than his first attempt at cultivation!
What he didn't expect was finding that the True Yuan refined through the Nine Yang Divine Technique was much more potent than what he possessed before.
This directly resulted in a consequence where his current strength could match that of an ordinary cultivator at the Qi Refinement Eighth Layer to Ninth Layer, which was very close to the Qi Refinement Peak.
He believed that if he reached the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer or Eighth Layer, he could certainly claim to be invincible in the Qi Refinement Realm!
By then, he would nearly be unstoppable in this world, although he knew there was the Meridian Expansion Realm above the Qi Refinement Realm. But in his many years, Su Chen had never encountered a master of the Meridian Expansion Realm.
As for masters at half-step Meridian Expansion, as far as he knew, there were only two or three in the whole world.
Of course, he was once among them.
Not to mention half-step Meridian Expansion, there are only a few who can reach the Qi Refinement Peak in this world!
The miraculous effects of the Nine Yang Divine Technique caught Su Chen by surprise. Whether it was cultivation speed or the purity of True Yuan, both are crucial for a cultivator.
This further strengthened Su Chen's determination to continue training in this amazing Cultivation Technique. As for the three great calamities mentioned by his old master, Su Chen was prepared.
Since ancient times, which path to the highest peak has ever been easy to walk?!
