"Master, please have mercy on me..."
...........................
(Li Dede) At noon, the sun shone brightly.
"Master, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep..."
Mai Shiranui's eyelids were drooping, she was tired and sleepy, she let out a weak cry, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
She had been working all night and was already at her limit; she had only been forcing herself to stay awake.
"Get a good night's sleep..."
After Jiang Che left with a "pop," he took a silk quilt from the side and gently covered Mai Shiranui with it, feeling a pang of pity in his heart.
Mai Shiranui was incredibly obedient to him, gentle as water, and always obliging to his requests, which truly allowed Jiang Che to experience the exotic charm of a foreign land.
Beneath Mai Shiranui's fiery and bold exterior lies a gentle and delicate heart.
It's hard for a woman like this not to be loved by men.
Who wouldn't love an obedient and docile little wife?
Moreover, she's a stunning beauty like Mai Shiranui, with an amazing figure and top-notch looks.
"Humph……"
Without Jiang Che as her human body pillow, Mai Shiranui seemed to sense it in her sleep, her brows furrowing slightly, but she showed no sign of waking up.
She simply turned over unconsciously and quickly fell into a deep sleep again.
………………evil…
After taking a nice hot bath, Jiang Che leisurely left the room.
Breathing in the fresh, sweet air, Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression relaxed, his face refreshed, his mind clear, and his thoughts perfectly unobstructed!
Golden elixir peak!
After tireless and diligent cultivation day and night, Jiang Che's cultivation level successfully advanced further, breaking through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, and he was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage!
After Haiyue's personal instruction and teaching over the past period, Jiang Che's understanding and comprehension of the Golden Core Dao had long since reached perfection.
After breaking through to the peak of the Golden Core stage, one naturally encounters the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.
As long as he can break through the bottleneck and overcome the shackles, Jiang Che will be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage!
Just thinking about it made Jiang Che's heart race.
088: Entering the Daming Palace, seeing Shangguan Wan'er again.
Jiang Che was in a good mood, humming a little tune, and slowly walked towards the hall.
When Jiang Che arrived in the hall, he saw Ali and the other two girls chatting and laughing.
"Husband, you've finally decided to get out of bed?"
Upon seeing Jiang Che arrive, Ali covered her mouth and chuckled, blinking her beautiful eyes as she teased him playfully.
When A-Li didn't see Jiang Che for a long time in the morning, she became curious and went to Jiang Che's room to check it out.
Although he didn't go inside, he heard some noises and already knew why Jiang Che was staying in bed.
"You big bad guy, are you in such a hurry?!"
Yun Ying glared at Jiang Che angrily, feeling helpless and extremely frustrated.
She had originally intended to establish some authority in front of Mai Shiranui, this Japanese woman, and make her understand the principle of first come, first served.
But she never expected Jiang Che to act so quickly.
Before she even made a move, Jiang Che had already won over the woman.
This made Yunying extremely depressed. Shiranui Mai was now one of her own, and she would have to get along with her sister in the future, so she naturally couldn't go too far.
Yun Ying felt powerless, like punching cotton, and could only glare fiercely at Jiang Che to express her dissatisfaction.
However, it was clear that her actions had no deterrent effect on Jiang Che at all. On the contrary, they made Jiang Che find her inexplicably cute and gave him the idea of bullying her.
Although Yang Yuhuan was unaware of the situation beforehand, she saw that Jiang Che's cultivation had broken through again and that his body was circulated with that extremely familiar Yin-Yang energy, so she had already guessed all the causes and consequences.
"Xiao Che, you must treat that girl well from now on..."
"After all, she has no relatives or friends in Chang'an, and you are the only one she can rely on..."
Yang Yuhuan spoke gently, giving Jiang Che a few instructions, without showing any anger.
She is a very sensible woman with a broad perspective.
Although she felt a little jealous before, she accepted it since it had already happened and didn't say much, thinking about how to get along well with Mai Shiranui in the future.
"Don't worry, Sister Yuhuan..."
"I will treat Huo Wu well..."
Jiang Che nodded, readily agreeing, his expression serious and earnest.
He's not the kind of scumbag who abandons his women after they've done their thing; naturally, he'll treat each of his women well.
Besides...
Mai Shiranui is so hot and unrestrained, Jiang Che simply couldn't resist her!
Faced with such a beauty, few could resist!
Turning his head to look at Yun Ying, who was sulking beside him, Jiang Che forcibly turned her head, lowered his head and gently kissed the girl's forehead, speaking softly.
"Don't worry, my love for you won't diminish in the slightest..."
"It was true before, and it will be true in the future..."
Jiang Che understood perfectly well that Mai Shiranui was just acting out her spoiled nature and throwing a little tantrum, which was easy to handle.
Hearing Jiang Che's assurance and feeling the warm touch on her forehead, Yun Ying's anger subsided considerably. She gave a haughty snort and stubbornly retorted.
"Who wants you, you big bad guy, to like me?"
"I don't need it!"
Seeing Yun Ying's adorable, contradictory expression, Ali giggled and looked at Jiang Che, asking a question.
"My lord, the Double Ninth Festival Lantern Festival will begin in three days..."
What are your plans?
Upon hearing Ali mention serious matters, Yun Ying and Yang Yuhuan both turned their gazes to Jiang Che, awaiting his reply.
"arrange?"
"No, not that..."
"However, Dean Haiyue said that I should wait until the International Lantern Festival opens and then go with her to the Daming Palace to meet Her Majesty the Empress..."
Jiang Che embraced the tardy maid Cai Wenji and spoke after a moment's thought.
Jiang Che readily accepted Haiyue's arrangement.
After all, he was also very curious about the peerless, domineering, and supreme empress who looked down on all living beings.
His rapid growth and the academy's full support were also inseparable from the Empress's behind-the-scenes encouragement.
"To enter the palace and meet the Empress?"
Let's go together then!
"Ah Li is also very curious about this Empress..."
Ali's eyes lit up, and she was very interested in Jiang Che's suggestion, so she directly expressed her own thoughts.
"no problem…"
Jiang Che nodded slightly, agreeing to Ali's request.
………………
After the meal, Jiang Che handed Cai Wenji over to the three women to look after. As was customary, after leaving Qingyun Manor, he headed straight for the academy.
For some time now, going to the academy at noon every day to listen to Haiyue's teachings has become a daily habit for Jiang Che.
After arriving at Qixia Peak, Jiang Che strolled through the mountains and fields, following the shaded path straight up, and soon arrived at the palace gate located on the cliff top.
The vermilion gate was wide open. After entering, Jiang Che searched around and finally found Haiyue playing chess with Wang Zhaojun in the garden pavilion.
"Greetings, Dean..."
"Greetings, Elder Zhaojun..."
Jiang Che stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said hello.
"Hmm...you've arrived..."
"His cultivation level has broken through again?"
"Not bad, very good!"
Haiyue placed a piece, looked at Jiang Che, and after noticing the aura of a peak Golden Core cultivator on Jiang Che's body, nodded in satisfaction and smiled broadly.
Haiyue was already used to Jiang Che's incredible speed of improvement, so she wasn't surprised.
Wang Zhaojun, standing to the side, looked surprised and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Che a few more times. A hint of shock flashed in her usually calm and composed eyes.
Clearly, Jiang Che's peak Golden Core cultivation level had truly shocked her.
During this time, she had some insights and had been cultivating in seclusion, so she hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Che.
I vaguely remember that when we last met at Wangyue Tower, Jiang Che was only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
In just one month, this guy made great strides and broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage.
Although she found it unbelievable, the facts were undeniable, leaving her no choice but to believe them.
Now, Wang Zhaojun finally understood why Haiyue cared so much about this young man, even taking time out of her spare time every day to guide Jiang Che, imparting knowledge and answering his questions.
To achieve such a formidable breakthrough in just one month, it probably won't be long before Jiang Che breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Deity Transformation stage.
Such a promising prodigy truly needs to be firmly bound to our cause and nurtured at all costs!
