Chapter 26: I Have My Eyes on You

With a low growl, Tang San dressed himself, looking somewhat weary.
After Tang San left, the two women lying on the large bed began whispering among themselves.
“Sister, Third Young Master was so fierce today! No matter how we tried to satisfy him, he just wouldn’t have enough!”
“That’s right. Third Young Master was especially fierce today! He was like a maddened beast. He even made my legs go weak with fright!”
“Yes, he has no idea how to show tenderness at all. We may not be human, but he really is… a beast!”
“This is terrible. It looks like neither of us will be able to take on any work for three to five days.”
The slightly older woman lowered her eyelids and spoke with a hint of resentment.
“Heehee… Sister, don’t act as though you’ve suffered after getting such a bargain! Third Young Master gave us quite a generous reward today. I’m entrusting all the essence to you—make sure you keep it safe.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve stored it all properly. This time, our demon race will be able to cultivate several more outstanding seeds!”
“Sister, how much longer do we have to remain hidden here? Wearing this lowly human skin every day makes me feel sick.”
“Not much longer. Once the Demon Lord is born, our mission will be complete.”
“Mm. Sister, rest a little longer. That fat man may come later, and then he might torment us for several more hours.”
“What are you afraid of? He doesn’t have the stamina. Even if he tormented us all day, I could endure it!”
“Heehee…”
The two demonesses gazed at each other and burst into unbearably seductive laughter.
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai began searching for Zhu Zhuqing as soon as he returned.
He went to the girls’ dormitory where Zhu Zhuqing and the others lived, only to find Ning Rongrong there alone.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong had her long, beautiful legs crossed as she reclined in a rocking chair beside the window, leisurely reading a book. Every now and then, she gave a laugh as clear as silver bells.
“Ahem…”
Dai Mubai coughed lightly twice, but Ning Rongrong was immersed in her book and paid him no attention.
Dai Mubai coughed twice more. Ning Rongrong frowned in displeasure, lowered the book in her hands, and looked toward the doorway.
“Oh… Big Brother Dai, what brings you here?”
“Rongrong, I’m here to find Zhuqing. Have you seen her?”
“No. I haven’t seen her at all today. Didn’t she say she was accompanying Junior Gu Chen to Sacred Heart Lake?”

“Why? Do you need her for something?”
“Junior Gu Chen has been injured!”
Before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong sprang to her feet and hurried over to him.
“Junior Gu Chen? Where is he hurt? Is it serious?”
Dai Mubai felt displeased, but remembering Tang San’s instructions, he kept his emotions from showing. His face twitched slightly before he forced out a smile.
“He’s fine. He only exhausted his soul power and became somewhat weak. Zhuqing and Xiao Wu brought him back first. I went to see Little Ao, but he said he hadn’t seen them. I came to ask everyone, but it seems they still haven’t returned. Ah…”
“There’s only one road from Sacred Heart Lake to the academy, and Soto City is the only town along it. Since you didn’t encounter them on your way back, they must have stopped temporarily in Soto City. I’ll go call Little Ao. We’ll leave at once to find them.”
“Rongrong, don’t be so hasty. If you rush off to find Little Ao because of Gu Chen, Little Ao will surely get jealous.”
“Why don’t you let me take Hongjun and Little Ao with me? The three of us can search together.”
“No. Take me with you. My martial soul can enhance Little Ao and Hongjun, allowing us to reach Soto City more quickly.”
“All right, then we’ll go together.”
Dai Mubai brought Ning Rongrong to find Oscar and Ma Hongjun. When Ma Hongjun heard that they were searching for Gu Chen, he hurriedly shook his head.
“Rongrong, my evil fire is getting out of control again. I have something to deal with this afternoon, so I won’t be accompanying you.”
He had just turned to fly away when Dai Mubai pressed down on his shoulder.
“Fatty, Little San is also in Soto City. He wants you to go there and says he has something good for you.”
“All right, then I’ll go with you. But that Gu Chen is far too arrogant. Once we reach Soto City, I’m going straight to Third Brother. You can search for Gu Chen yourselves.”
“Fine. Just take us to Soto City.”
Ma Hongjun summoned his Phoenix martial soul, while Oscar handed him several recovery sausages.
The group climbed onto his martial soul and headed toward Soto City. After they arrived, Dai Mubai discreetly handed Ma Hongjun a note.
Ma Hongjun went to an empty place and opened it. After reading its contents, an evil smile spread across his face.
He muttered, “Gu Chen, if you fall into my hands, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong searched all over Soto City, but found no trace of Gu Chen.

At that moment, Gu Chen was on his way to the Soto Imperial Mausoleum, located at the western side of Soto City. The area was surrounded by mountains and thickly shaded by trees.
Except during special periods of worship, few people ever came there.
Before setting out, Gu Chen had bought some lamp oil and realgar wine together with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. Both were somewhat effective against sinister snake-related creatures.
They hired a relatively spacious carriage for the journey. Along the way, the two girls carefully tended to Gu Chen while he silently circulated the cultivation method he had comprehended not long before.
This time, Ye Linglong’s inner demon had stirred his own, allowing Gu Chen to borrow the power of his inner demon.
Within the river of time, he had seen himself as a child, writing the character for “sun” one hundred and eight thousand times at his elder sister’s insistence. After carefully contemplating those characters, Gu Chen gained a sudden revelation.
The sun was the embodiment of sunlight and time. It nourished all things and gave rise to yin and yang. When the sun existed within one’s heart, there was light and warmth. When the sun moved according to the heart, it created a force that attracted all things.
Condense the sun within the heart, receive the sun with the heart, and resonate with all creation. The cultivation of soul power would then advance by leaps and bounds.
The embryonic sun condensed within Gu Chen’s heart was formed from the one hundred and eight thousand characters for “sun” that he had written in the past, gathered together across the river of time.
The birth of the sun warmed his once somewhat cold heart, and his heartbeat became stronger as well.
From this, he comprehended a profound cultivation method.
It was called the Great Sun Heart Sutra. It refined the heart through the great sun, used the heart to embrace all things, drew the energy of heaven and earth into the body to temper the meridians, and forged an unrivaled golden body.
Gu Chen had only circulated the Great Sun Heart Sutra once when the great sun within his heart rose and began to revolve, forming a powerful suction force. His blood circulation accelerated, the pores across his body expanded, and they greedily absorbed the elemental energy of heaven and earth.
As they felt Gu Chen’s body gradually grow hotter, the elemental energy of heaven and earth surged toward him like water vapor, rushing into him with astonishing intensity.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were both stunned.
Why could Junior Gu Chen’s martial soul absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth so quickly? It was actually even faster than Oscar’s recovery sausages could restore soul power!
Although the two girls were filled with curiosity, they knew that Gu Chen was at a crucial stage of recovering his soul power and should not be disturbed. They temporarily suppressed their curiosity and quietly waited for him to finish cultivating.
