"Do you want to use the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Grand Gift Package?"
"Use it!"
He didn't hesitate.
"The Foundation Establishment Cultivation Grand Gift Package is being used…"
"The Foundation Establishment Cultivation Grand Gift Package has been used successfully! The Host's current cultivation has broken through to the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm!"
As soon as the System prompted, Qing Chen immediately felt his Dantian become vast and full. A powerful energy spread through his meridians, flowing through his limbs and bones, filling his entire body.
He had indeed broken through to the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm!
Foundation Establishment cultivation, before joining a Sect, was definitely a very impressive achievement.
Even the entry requirements for those large Sects were merely reaching the second or third layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
If Qing Chen were to participate in the assessment with his Peak Foundation Establishment cultivation…
Assessment? There was no need for any assessment; he would directly join the inner courtyard, choose a personal Master, and enjoy the treatment of a Prodigy!
However, at present, Qing Chen had no intention of joining a Sect. What could a Sect give him?
It was better to plan early and focus more on Han Qingyue, so that she would willingly consummate their marriage with him sooner, and he could obtain Dominator cultivation.
By then, with the Undying and Imperishable Body and Dominator cultivation both in hand, the protagonist? It was fine if he didn't provoke him actively, but if he dared to provoke him, Qing Chen would definitely eliminate him!
Hiding the System panel, Qing Chen glanced at Han Qingyue, who was staring blankly at the sugar figurine, motionless, and said, "Eat it, don't worry, it's not poisoned."
"It's too beautiful, I can't bear to eat it," Han Qingyue blurted out her true feelings.
Qing Chen seized the opportunity and said, "Oh, what's there to bear or not bear? If you want to eat it in the future, I'll draw another one for you."
"…" Han Qingyue hesitated, her beautiful autumn-water eyes looking at Qing Chen, a ripple she herself hadn't noticed, fleetingly appeared.
Since Qing Chen had said so much, Han Qingyue was worried that if she didn't eat it, he would misunderstand.
She could only open her thin lips, take the sugar figurine into her mouth, and feel the sugar threads melt, the sweetness filling her mouth…
As they walked, Qing Chen noticed that Han Qingyue's walking posture was a bit strange.
"Wait!"
Qing Chen suddenly spoke. Before Han Qingyue could react, he had already squatted down, lifted Han Qingyue's skirt, revealing her ankle.
"You, what are you doing!" Han Qingyue said nervously.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Seeing Han Qingyue's red and bruised ankle, Qing Chen's face showed a look of blame.
"It's nothing, just a small injury, you don't need to worry about it." In fact, when they encountered assassins earlier, Qing Chen pulled Han Qingyue behind him, and due to the uneven ground, she twisted her ankle.
"How can that be!" Qing Chen walked in front of Han Qingyue, turned his back to her, and squatted down, "Come up, I'll carry you back."
How could Qing Chen miss such a rare opportunity to spoil his wife?
"This…" Han Qingyue looked hesitant.
On one hand, she didn't want to have too much physical contact with Qing Chen.
On the other hand, this was a busy market. With so many people and so many eyes watching, Han Qingyue felt very embarrassed.
"If you don't come up, I'll rebel," Qing Chen said solemnly.
"Don't scare me, I'll listen to you." Although she knew Qing Chen was just joking, Han Qingyue didn't dare to gamble.
She took a step forward and lay on Qing Chen's back.
Qing Chen then lifted Han Qingyue's thighs with both hands, said "Hold on tight," and then stood up.
Throughout the journey, Han Qingyue buried her small face deep into Qing Chen's back, not daring to look at the surrounding people's gazes.
Recalling, the last time she was carried like this was when she encountered a wild beast attack, was too scared to walk, and was carried by Xiao Feng…
She quickly stopped her thoughts.
The more she thought, the more Han Qingyue felt she was letting Xiao Feng down.
He was clearly in an unknown state of life or death, yet she was here with another man…
"Oh! They're showing off their affection! They're showing off their affection!"
Hearing the joyful shouts of children in her ears, Han Qingyue's face turned even redder.
She could hide her face, but she couldn't hide her equally red ears.
When the children's families saw that the person carrying someone was Qing Chen, the Devil King of Chaos, they quickly covered their children's mouths, knelt on the ground with a thud, and begged for his forgiveness.
Qing Chen naturally didn't care about these things.
There were things that concerned him more.
"Successfully pampered wife! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Fourth-grade Heavenly Profound Medicinal Pill +1!"
'A fourth-grade Medicinal Pill?!'
Qing Chen was already eager to refine this Medicinal Pill and quickly increase his strength.
Thinking about it, if this continued, perhaps before he even took Han Qingyue, he could rely on the System's massive rewards to prematurely achieve Dominatorhood.
As he thought of this, a question arose in his mind.
He asked, 'System, if I achieve Dominatorhood prematurely, won't this reward be invalid?'
"Please rest assured, Host, the System rewards will only have a one-plus-one-equals-two effect!"
'That's good!'
Hearing the System say this, Qing Chen was relieved.
Double Dominator cultivation!
For him, it was no longer just attractive, but extremely attractive.
One layer of Dominator strength was already enough to dominate the entire Heavenly Profound Continent; with double Dominator cultivation, what difficulty was there in ruling for eternity?
Not to mention, he also possessed the Undying and Imperishable Body, allowing him to exist for a long time, continuously Cultivate, and increase his cultivation!
Before long, Qing Chen carried Han Qingyue all the way back to the Qing Manor, to his and Han Qingyue's bridal chamber.
After placing Han Qingyue on the bed, he ordered someone to bring ointment.
He had Han Qingyue sit on the bed, lift her foot, took off her shoes and socks for her, revealing a fair and delicate jade foot.
Seeing Han Qingyue's shy expression, repeatedly trying to pull back her small foot.
Only then did Qing Chen confirm that unlike his previous life, women in the Heavenly Profound Continent cared much more about their feet being seen by others.
"It might hurt a little, bear with it," Qing Chen dipped some ointment with his finger and reminded Han Qingyue.
"Mm," Han Qingyue pursed her red lips and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that she was mentally prepared, Qing Chen began to apply the ointment, his movements extremely gentle.
Aside from the initial slight pain, Han Qingyue could then clearly feel the pain disappearing, replaced by a warm sensation…
Looking at Qing Chen, who was diligently and meticulously applying the medicine for her, Han Qingyue's heart was difficult to calm.
As a princess who had not experienced the world, whose emotional life was a blank slate, and who had grown up in the deep palace since childhood, being treated this way by a male, Han Qingyue couldn't help but think, 'If there was no Brother Feng, then what about him and me…'
Halfway through her thought, Han Qingyue suddenly reacted, startled by her own idea.
She quickly pulled back her small foot and said to Qing Chen, "It's fine now."
"Successfully pampered wife! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Communication Jade Talisman +2!"
Seeing that the reward was already in hand, Qing Chen didn't care.
After studying it, this Communication Jade Talisman was similar to a mobile phone from his previous life on Earth, or rather, its performance was more powerful; it could communicate without interference even tens of thousands of miles away.
Qing Chen couldn't think of a use for it for now, so he put it into the System backpack.
"Since that's the case, it's getting late, you should rest first," Qing Chen said as he stood up.
"What about you?" Being alone in a room with a man, Han Qingyue couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I need to Cultivate," Qing Chen found a spot, sat cross-legged, took out a Medicinal Pill, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
Feeling the powerful, terrifying spiritual might released from Qing Chen's body, Han Qingyue was 100% certain that Qing Chen was definitely not a simple pampered young Master from a noble family.
She lay down, turned over, and closed her eyes.
Han Qingyue tried her best to recall every detail of her past with Xiao Feng, fearing that she would once again, like before, be confused for a moment and develop inappropriate feelings for Qing Chen.
'Brother Feng, don't worry, Han Qinyue will definitely not do anything to let you down! Never! Han Qinyue's heart will always belong to you!'
In a flash, it was midnight.
On Great Mang Mountain, in an unnamed Immortal Cave.
Xiao Feng finished meditating. Having been in seclusion for half a year, he was already accustomed to opening the System panel at this moment and using his newly refreshed sign-in count.
"I wonder what kind of powerful reward I'll sign in for this time? I hope it can help me leave seclusion early." Xiao Feng fantasized about leaving seclusion early, reuniting with his father and younger sister, and achieving a positive outcome with his childhood sweetheart, Han Qingyue.
