Chapter 542: Chapter 320 Extorting the Arrogant Heavens

In the dimly lit cell, a youth dressed in snowy white was seen embracing a fragile woman in coloured dress, radiant in her beauty. From afar, this handsome duo appeared to be whispering sweet nothings to each other, creating a romantic atmosphere.

This scene caused the fury of a young man, who had yelled angrily when the ghost creature appeared, to flare up uncontrollably again, resulting in yet another roar.

He clearly understood that the young man embracing the girl meant that the crisis of the ghost creature’s attack had been averted. At this moment, he should feel grateful rather than scold, but he couldn’t control the anger surging out from his chest.

“What are you yelling about? I am healing Su True Transmission!”

As a glint of green light shone in the cell, the young man turned around, revealing the woman he was holding. She was enveloped in a layer of green qi full of vitality, her pale and pitiful face gradually returning to colour.

“I…”

Initially wanting to lash out, accusing Feng Qing’an of taking advantage of the situation and being shameless, the young man fell silent after witnessing the scene.

Even though he was aware of Feng Qing’an’s good intentions and appreciated how he had saved the woman he admired from the malicious ghost creatures and was now healing her, the jealousy and envy in his heart still couldn’t be suppressed. It filled his heart, shaking his already unstable sanity.

There was no helping it, after all, Feng Qing’an’s image wasn’t exactly positive among their group since they knew him.

If you had to describe him, he could be considered as debauched and unmethodical, which might sound appealing, but in a different interpretation, he was merely a flirtatious playboy. After all, he wasn’t even disgusted by flirting with the ghost creatures in the underworld.

“Put me down, I’m alright now! ”

In the unmistakable space of the cell, she was being cuddled in the arms of a fellow teenager and scrutinised by a dozen familiar Taoists.

Even for someone as cold-hearted as Su Qingying, her flawless face turned pink at the situation. Yet, her resulting coy look instantly made her enchantingly attractive.

Such an appearance only increased the jealousy of the young man who had long admired the true transmission of the Ice Emperor Palace. Despite knowing that his current state wasn’t right, he let his Daoist heart show through cracks without any control.

“Be careful, you are still very weak!”

Noticing the piercing gaze on him, Feng Qing’an not only remained indifferent to the implications, but he deliberately adjusted his posture.

Practically facing the young man, Feng Qing’an gently set Su Qingying down from his embrace, supporting her frail shoulder as he carefully poured into her the Ethereal Wood Green Qi, replenishing the energy she had lost from the ghost creature’s attack.

Such an intimate gesture was greeted by strange expressions from many cultivators. The cultivators who were familiar with Su Qingying also found it very puzzling.

They had never seen this proud and aloof disciple of the Ice Emperor Palace show any favour towards any male cultivators. She had always been indifferent towards men. So why this drastic change today?

Could it be because he saved her during a crisis that he managed to win her heart, stirring her feelings, hence she didn’t mind the intimacy?

Although the trope of hero saving the damsel in distress is a common one, yet it never gets old for its effectiveness.

“Hmm!”

Su Qingying, who had been in a secret agreement with Feng Qing’an, ignored the strange gazes. Cultivating and seeking the Dao was her priority, she couldn’t afford to care about what others thought. Determination and perseverance were vital for achieving immortality.

“Qingying! How could you… ”

Seeing that the natural colour had returned to the Ice Emperor Palace disciple’s face, and she didn’t attempt to take off the hand of the despicable man from her shoulder, a certain young man felt as if his heart was shattering, as if something invincible was cracking.

“Mr. Fang, I don’t recall being so close with you that you can call me by my first name!”

Before the young man could finish speaking, Su Qingying’s brow furrowed, turning icy cold, freezing anyone who dared to approach her.

“Mr. Su, I… ”

“Alright, no need for explanations. Su True Transmission is still severely injured and needs rest, unnecessary talk might distract her. Come, Qingying, let me help you sit down!”

Feng Qing’an had intended to follow the rules, but he could not help developing a rebellious psychology due to a certain chap’s hostility towards his regular behaviours. Hence, he began to cross red lines recklessly.

“…”

Su Qingying didn’t say a word, she sat crossed-legged with the help of Feng Qing’an. During this process, even though Feng Qing’an had overstepped some boundaries, she didn’t make any sound, giving her tacit consent.

“Hmph!”

Feng Qing’an, who was prepared to be lectured by this disciple of the Ice Emperor Palace, did not expect her to be so tolerant. His current status wasn’t a single young man anymore, but a man with two wives, both already bearing his children.

Although neither his elder wife nor his younger wife publicly admitted their relations with him, since substantial results had already been achieved, such nominalities didn’t matter anymore.
