Chapter 806: Liu Ruyan Leaps to the Top!
The moon hung high and serene in the night sky, casting a silver glow over the opulent Jinxiu Mountain Villa.
Within the brightly lit mansions lining the road, fragments of life drifted out into the cool air.
"Honey, work has been brutal lately. I'm just... not really in the right headspace, you know?"
"It's alright, darling. I'm happy just being with you. Really..."
"Cheers, brothers! It's been too long since we all had a night to just drink."
"Hey, did you guys hear? A few days ago, two suns appeared in the sky, all within a thousand-li radius of Hangzhou. The experts on TikTok were all swearing it was the birth of the legendary Divine Beast, the Golden Crow..."
"Didn't the officials already shoot that down?"
"That's exactly why I believe it's true!"
"Get outta here. You been reading too many of those cultivation novels? What Golden Crow?"
"Tsk, tsk. But I wonder... if there really was a Golden Crow, would its... you know... be good for the kidneys?"
"You clowns are killing me! Stop believing all that 'you are what you eat' nonsense."
"How do you know it's fake? It's not like you've tried it."
"Nonsense! Do I look like I need it? A friend of mine tried it, though..."
"..."
Strolling leisurely along the road, bathed in the same moonlight, Shen An almost laughed aloud as the conversation reached his ears.
With a divine ability like Love Infinite Teleport, he naturally hadn't bothered with a plane for the return trip from Hangzhou. He had been accompanied by Yu Guannan on the way there, so he had refrained from using it, unwilling to expose one of his ultimate trump cards. Even if she was one of his own women, a secret's safety diminished with every person who knew it. And while Yu Guannan would never betray him, there was simply no need to reveal it.
The journey back, however, required no such discretion. After casually instructing his subordinates to ship his private jet and Rolls-Royce Phantom back to Guangcheng, Shen An had vanished from Hangzhou and reappeared, in the space of a single thought, at Jinxiu Mountain Villa.
He first went to spend some time with Zhou Luyao and He Yiyi, then checked in on Zhang Yaqian to ensure she was well. Finally, he made his way toward Villa No. 1.
Shen An was in an excellent mood, a faint, easy smile gracing his handsome face. The rewards from his trip to Hangzhou had been immense, almost beyond measure. He had absorbed the entire memory inheritance of Chen Yuhua, a Heavenly Venerate of the Mahayana stage. Once he fully digested that lifetime of knowledge and transformed it into his own foundation, he couldn't begin to imagine the heights his power would reach.
With power came the confidence to move with ease; without it, even recklessness was a luxury one couldn't afford.
It was nearly ten o'clock at night by the time he stepped through the door of Villa No. 1.
He found that Liu Ruyan and Zhong Lingyin, the pair of senior and junior sisters, were not yet asleep. Nor were they cultivating. Instead, they were in Liu Ruyan's room, deep in conversation.
"Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister went into the mountains to gather herbs almost a month ago. Why haven't we heard anything? Do you think something happened?" Zhong Lingyin asked, her voice laced with anxiety. She sat on the sofa, clad in pajamas of pure white cloud brocade that made her skin seem whiter than snow. Her posture was ramrod straight, her figure graceful, but her exquisitely beautiful face was clouded with worry.
Their Third Senior Sister, the Goddess Doctor Murong Jieyu, had opened the Xuánhú Medical Clinic in Hangzhou. Some time ago, she had ventured into the mountains for rare ingredients, but her prolonged silence was beginning to fray Zhong Lingyin's nerves.
"It's fine, it's fine," Liu Ruyan responded, her tone languid. "Your Third Senior Sister is a clever one. Though she's not as strong as me, she still has a Grandmaster's cultivation and is a Goddess Doctor besides. She's just gathering herbs in the mountains. Nothing will happen."
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan was lying on a yoga mat, executing a difficult posture from the Martial God Art known as "Fish Leap to the Top."
Her legs were pressed together, flat against the mat. With her hands planted firmly for support, she arched her back, lifting her upper body as high as it could go. The movement stretched the muscles of her waist and abdomen, expanding her chest as her beautiful face tilted up toward the ceiling lights, like a fish cresting a wave as it leaps from the water.
From the angle where he had paused just out of sight, Shen An had a perfect view of Liu Ruyan's side profile. The pose threw her exquisite curves into sharp relief. The tight yoga outfit she wore did little to conceal the proud, stunning lines of her figure, creating a stunning sight.
Shen An's gaze remained fixed, his breath catching for a moment. 'Yoga outfits,'he sighed inwardly, a deep appreciation blooming in his chest.'They are a truly wonderful invention. More women should wear them...'
