Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 724: Chapter 724 Embrace the Embrace

“Restoration Beauty Pill?”

When Su Ziling learned that she was holding the very Restoration Beauty Pill that could restore her appearance,

she hardly dared to believe her ears, and then her eyes were rapidly filled with tears.

“Master!”

The young girl suddenly plunged into Wang Chen’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Wang Chen gently patted her back, offering silent comfort.

When he first encountered Su Ziling, the girl’s initial impression was one steeped in gloom.

Over the past few days, as a serving maid, Su Ziling had seemed mature and experienced.

Only now, in his arms, did Su Ziling finally act like a true seventeen-year-old girl.

All the pain, sorrow, and bitterness that had accumulated in her heart were now released with her hot tears.

Su Ziling cried for an entire incense stick of time, then left Wang Chen’s embrace with a flushed face: “Master, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Wang Chen smiled and touched her head, saying, “Hurry and take this pill, its efficacy will decrease if left too long.”

“Mm.”

Su Ziling nodded vigorously and then ran off to her own small room.

Probably because she was afraid of Wang Chen seeing her unsightly state.

Wang Chen was not in a hurry; he took out a Taoist scripture he had bought earlier at the market and started to read it slowly.

This scripture had cost him hundreds of Spirit Stones, a rare ancient text of good caliber, and although its recorded cultivation insights were not among secret techniques, it held significance for Wang Chen’s Golden Core cultivation.

After reading just a few pages, he resolutely purchased it.

As he read, Wang Chen gradually became absorbed.

Until a timid call reached his ears, “Master…”

Wang Chen couldn’t help but look up and saw a pretty young girl standing before him.

It was Su Ziling.

The girl’s outfit had not changed in the slightest, still a simple and elegant dress.

But the unsightly scar on her face had vanished, and her entire countenance was like an egg without its shell, tender white with a youthful and irresistible charm.

Her nose remained the same nose, her eyes the same pair of eyes, yet the Su Ziling who had taken the Restoration Beauty Pill seemed as though she had been reborn, and her beauty had dramatically increased!

Although compared to immortals like Yu Fei who Wang Chen had known before, Su Ziling still fell short.

But the inner charm she manifested was something Yu Fei did not have!

Even with Wang Chen’s steadfast nature, he couldn’t help but stare in astonishment for a moment.

“Good!”

Regaining his senses, he clapped his hands and laughed, “This Restoration Beauty Pill was a worthwhile purchase.”

Wang Chen had a vague feeling that he had stumbled upon a treasure.

Under Wang Chen’s gaze, Su Ziling shyly lowered her head, pursed her lips, and then gathered the courage to look up at him.

“Master’s kindness in remaking me, Ziling will never forget for all eternity!”

Wang Chen laughed and said, “It’s not that serious, I did it for myself, too.”

Indeed, the current Su Ziling was much more pleasing to the eye than before, and having a beautiful girl around to add to the delight of night reading would undoubtedly make it more pleasant for both body and mind.

However, Wang Chen did not expect that his words would lead to a misunderstanding on Su Ziling’s part.

That night, after Wang Chen finished his daily cultivation and was resting on the bed after bathing, a dainty figure suddenly darted into the room and quickly threw herself into his embrace.

Caught off guard, Wang Chen found himself holding a soft, fragrant body and asked in surprise, “What’s the matter?”

This “night assailant” was none other than Su Ziling, whom Wang Chen had detected from the start, otherwise he would not have let her approach.

“`

The girl didn’t reply; she just buried her face in Wang Chen’s chest and firmly hugged his waist.

Wang Chen was initially puzzled, but soon realized—this girl wanted to give herself to him!

This was actually quite normal.

Wang Chen could say he had given her a second life, leading her out of misery and providing her with the warmth she had longed for.

If the girl wasn’t deeply moved by this, that would be strange!

Besides herself, Su Ziling had nothing else to repay Wang Chen with.

Making such a decision on impulse was reasonable and justifiable.

But although Wang Chen wasn’t a sanctimonious gentleman, nor was he a reprobate devoid of integrity, he gently stroked the fine hair of the girl in his embrace and said, “I treat you without expecting anything in return, you needn’t do this.”

Su Ziling said in a muffled voice, “Master, do you find your servant ugly?”

Wang Chen was amused, “First of all, you are not a servant, and secondly, you’re not ugly, quite the opposite, you’re very pretty.”

Honestly, to say that the current Wang Chen had no desires would definitely be a lie.

After all, any normal man would have a reaction when a youthful and attractive girl threw herself into his arms.

Su Ziling hugged him even tighter, “Then why…”

Wang Chen thought for a moment and decided to reason with her, “It’s not the right time now.”

It wasn’t that Su Ziling was too young; in the Haotian Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm alike, a girl of sixteen was considered an adult, already eligible for marriage and childbearing.

But Su Ziling had a high-grade Root Bone, with proper cultivation, a Golden Core was likely, and even a Nascent Soul wasn’t a dream.

So if she were to lose her virginity and elemental Yin energy now, it would be extremely detrimental to her future growth, truly a wasteful destruction of natural endowments!

After Wang Chen’s patient persuasion, Su Ziling finally understood his good intentions.

But the girl still showed no intention of leaving, “Then, when can we?”

She spoke in a whisper barely louder than a mosquito’s buzz, yet Wang Chen heard her loud and clear, and couldn’t help but rub his nose as he said, “At least, not before breaking through to the Breakthrough Mansion stage, I suppose.”

Su Ziling murmured a low acknowledgment, “Mm.”

Then, she closed her eyes.

Soon, she curled up in Wang Chen’s embrace and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Chen was a mix of laughter and helplessness, but he wasn’t heartless enough to push her back to the outer room.

However, in the following days, understanding Wang Chen’s temperament, the girl became bolder and bolder, running to his bed every night to sleep soundly in his arms.

She appeared very dependent.

As a result, after a few days, Wang Chen himself got used to it.

It was actually quite nice.

Ten days later, Wang Chen finally received the Talisman Message from the Household Registration Office of the Thousand Star Immortal City.

His transfer application had passed!

Wang Chen immediately rushed to the office, paid the remaining fees, and finally obtained the long-awaited Identity Plaque.

From now on, he was a Yi-grade citizen of the Thousand Star Immortal City, with many rights such as settling down, owning property, and doing business in the city.

But Wang Chen thought of a problem.

You see, Su Ziling only held a Ding-grade citizenship, which didn’t qualify her to reside in the Immortal City.

He couldn’t possibly leave her here alone!

So Wang Chen inquired with the official handling his paperwork, and after paying a sum of Spirit Stones, he upgraded Su Ziling’s status to Bing-grade, thereby resolving the issue.

This made Wang Chen realize that Spirit Stones played an even bigger role in Thousand Star Immortal City than he had thought!

This renowned, Earth-grade Immortal City was thoroughly a city of commerce.
