Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman-Chapter 56: Relaxation and Pleasure

After everyone had received their items for Outer Disciples, the gaunt-faced Inner Sect Elder lightly tapped the armrest of his chair.

The entire Bone Daoist Palace trembled gently. The crowd’s vision blurred, and before they knew it, they were standing outside the White Bone Palace.

The magnificent palace seemed to drift away slowly, yet it vanished into the distance with surprising speed.

Fang Cheng surveyed his surroundings and saw that only a few onlookers remained on Cloud Whale Mountain. In the sky, just a handful of Flying Boats hovered silently, as if waiting for someone.

Aboard one of the gorgeous Cyan Jade Flying Ships were two young women as beautiful as flowers, smiling at him. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It was Ye Yan and Die’Er!

Just as he was about to fly over to reunite with his beautiful wife and lovely handmaiden, a bone-chilling Sword Intent descended from the heavens, enveloping all twenty of the new Outer Disciples.

"Who killed the disciples of my Zhou Family?"

Fang Cheng looked up to see an old man in black robes standing with his hands behind his back on a White Jade Flying Ship. His gaze was icy as he scanned the crowd below.

A dreadful Sword Intent and a sinister demonic aura radiated from him. He could clearly sense the slightest fluctuation in any of the Cultivators’ Magical Power, Divine Sense, or even their heartbeats and facial expressions.

Before this Life Talisman Sword Cultivator, who had reached the Sword Heart Clarity Realm, the slightest slip-up would mean exposure.

Fang Cheng remained impassive. He first feigned a startled reaction to being enveloped by the Sword Intent, then immediately adopted a look of nonchalance.

His demeanor was that of an innocent bystander with nothing to fear.

Most of the others reacted in the same way.

When he had killed the Zhou Family disciples, he had been nowhere near the Trial Stele, so no one could have seen it on the water mirror’s projection.

He had also cleaned up all traces of the act afterward and wasn’t afraid of being investigated.

The crowd on the ground looked at each other, but no one spoke a word.

"Zhou Wujiu, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to intimidate the disciples of my Feng Family?"

A calm but commanding voice called out from another Flying Boat in the sky.

A flicker of apprehension crossed the eyes of the black-robed elder from the Zhou Family, and he dissipated his Sword Intent.

He had just tried to force out the "culprit," but to his surprise, every single one of the twenty new disciples had reacted "normally."

None of them seemed to have a guilty conscience...

Moreover, most of these twenty were from noble families. Each of them had the potential to become an Inner Sect Disciple in the future, and some might even become True Disciples.

No matter how domineering the Zhou Family was, they wouldn’t dare to offend so many families at once.

The black-robed elder sneered. "All twelve of my Zhou Family’s young disciples perished in this trial... No matter who has made an enemy of us, my family will remember this debt. One day, we will repay it in full!"

From the Feng Family’s Flying Boat, the voice scoffed, "In which Outer Disciple trial have people not died? The rules permit killing. If your disciples were not skilled enough, they deserved to die! Weren’t several of my Feng Family disciples also killed by the Ye Family’s son-in-law? Do you see me getting worked up about it?"

"Zhou Wujiu, you are a dignified Life Talisman Cultivator. Don’t lose face here!"

The black-robed elder’s chilling gaze swept across the Outer Disciples as he said coldly, "My Zhou Family can’t compare to the great and powerful Feng Family!"

With that, the Flying Boat beneath his feet glided away into the distant sky as smoothly as flowing water.

The Feng Family’s Flying Boat also released a ray of light that swiftly swept up the Feng Family disciples on the ground, and then it too drifted away.

Seeing this, the others present also began to depart.

Fang Cheng flew straight up to Ye Yan’s Flying Boat and left with a flourish.

...

「Cangwu Mountain, Jade Tower.」

In a quiet chamber on the second floor, steam rose languidly from a hot spring pool. It was surrounded by an arrangement of brocade-like flowers and elegant furnishings.

Not far from the hot spring, in the center of the floral arrangement, stood a magnificent bed large enough for several people. Layers of golden curtains embroidered with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns hung around it, showcasing the lavish style of a Noble Family Cultivator.

At this moment, a young man and two enchanting women were soaking leisurely in the pool.

It was none other than Fang Cheng with Ye Yan and her handmaiden.

A small, exquisite wooden tray floated in front of Fang Cheng. On it sat a jade bowl filled with Spirit Wine that resembled divine nectar, with a snow-white Spirit Flower floating on top.

The water in the pool was crystal clear, and a faint, sweet fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine filled the air.

After they returned from Cloud Whale Mountain, Ye Yan had suggested throwing him a welcome celebration to congratulate him for successfully entering the Yinluo Sect’s Outer Sect, and she had also brought Die’Er along to attend to him.

Fang Cheng was being plied with wine and attentively served by the two women, enjoying the bliss of their company.

The skin of the two women in the pool was as smooth as fine jade, glistening with water. Their beauty was breathtaking.

Of the two, Ye Yan’s figure was taller and more graceful. With her pair of fair, smooth, and well-proportioned legs, her curvaceous body, and her nation-toppling face, she was beautiful beyond description.

Although Die’Er lacked Ye Yan’s noble and elegant air, she was exquisitely pretty, with fair, delicate skin. She possessed the gentle grace of a girl-next-door, a beauty that was refined to the core.

Fang Cheng hadn’t expected to return from the intense Outer Sect trial to such a sensual and tender paradise.

He cast all thoughts of the fierce slaughter and arduous journey to the back of his mind, immersing himself in the carefree pleasure of his beautiful wife and lovely concubine’s company.

Having had a taste of passion, Ye Yan’s heart now belonged completely to Fang Cheng. Her love for him grew with each passing day. Seeing her husband so happy and relaxed filled her with joy and satisfaction.

As for Die’Er... the young maiden had been waiting for this day for a long time.

...

「The next day.」

The sun was high in the sky, its bright light streaming through the window.

Fang Cheng opened his eyes leisurely, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He was lying on the magnificent, exquisitely crafted Jade Couch. The surrounding curtains were drawn, and everything was very quiet.

The bed was exceptionally soft.

The girl in his arms was even softer.

He could clearly feel the delicate warmth and softness of her body...

Exhaustion was plain on Die’Er’s pretty little face, and he couldn’t bear to wake her.

"You’re awake, my husband..."

A pleasant voice came from behind him.

Fang Cheng turned his head and saw Ye Yan sitting up beside the Jade Couch, draping a silk quilt over herself to cover her exposed charms.

But her small feet peeked out from under the quilt.

Her slender jade feet had delicate, curled toes. Her ten smooth, rounded toenails shone with a pearly luster. Though unpainted, they were a natural, adorable pink.

She was huddled in the silk quilt, revealing two delicate collarbones. The smooth, rounded lines of her fair shoulders complemented her long, slender neck and her pale, exquisite, melon-seed-shaped face. She was undeniably beautiful.

Fang Cheng looked at his beautiful wife, extended a hand, and said with a grin, "Come, lie with me for a little longer."

Ye Yan gave a charming laugh, lightly slapped his palm, and turned to get off the Jade Couch. "Let Die’Er keep you company. I need to go back to my mother’s place and continue my cultivation."

Just then, Fang Cheng felt Die’Er stir in his arms; she was awake too.

Die’Er struggled faintly but couldn’t break free from Fang Cheng’s embrace. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she lowered her gaze.

"Young Master, please let me get up..."

She was both shy and alluring. Biting her lip, she kept her eyes downcast. Her voice was soft and faint, and her breath carried the warm fragrance of orchids.

Fang Cheng pretended not to hear and said to Ye Yan instead, "Actually, I have something to discuss with your mother as well. Why don’t we go together?"

Ye Yan was sharp as a tack and guessed immediately, "You want to ask Mother how to handle the matter of killing the Feng Family disciples?"

Fang Cheng nodded.

Ye Yan smiled. "Then let’s go together. Die’Er, hurry up and help your master get dressed."

...

「A short while later.」

Having changed into the Magical Robe of a Yinluo Sect Outer Disciple, Fang Cheng left the Jade Tower hand-in-hand with Ye Yan and arrived at the summit of Cangwu Mountain.
