Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

90: Su Li wore extreme black stockingsA flicker of something unusual passed through Su Li’s eyes.

She glanced at Cao Bu surreptitiously; it seemed the love gu had already begun to take effect.

Leng Yue noticed her gaze and quickly explained, ”Third Sister, if you’re worried about Bu’er, you can stay if you want.”

Su Li smiled. ”I understand, but you’ve just been detoxified and your cultivation hasn’t recovered yet. Don’t stay too long; it’s better to go back early to adjust your breathing.”

After saying that, she turned to leave, thoughtfully closing the door. She instructed Yan Ruyu and Gu Chuyan, who were waiting outside, ”The Second Mistress is talking with Steward Cao inside. Do not go in and disturb them.”

The two replied in unison, ”Yes.”

The two guarded the door until the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, only then hearing the sound of the door opening.

They saw Leng Yue with red-rimmed eyes, looking as if she had been crying.

Yan Ruyu and Gu Chuyan exchanged a look, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Even if Cao Bu had saved her, as the Second Mistress, she wouldn’t go this far, would she?

Leng Yue realized she had lost her composure and quickly steadied her emotions. Without explaining, she strode away.

As she was about to leave Cangfeng Residence, her voice drifted back: ”If Bu’er wakes up, inform this Palace immediately.”

”Yes, Second Mistress!” the two responded in unison.

Inside the room, Cao Bu abruptly opened his eyes.

The next moment, the System’s voice rang out in his mind:

[Ding! Detected that the Host has obtained Leng Yue’s sincerity. Inheritance progress increased by 1%.]

[Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained 1 lottery draw chance.]

”Phew... all that effort finally didn’t go to waste.”

Cao Bu let out a long sigh of relief, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Leng Yue has been won over. Next, it’s the others.

Just then, two sets of footsteps came from the door. Cao Bu quickly closed his eyes and continued to feign unconsciousness.

Four days later.

A joyful shout spread throughout Cangfeng Residence.

”Quick! Go notify the Second Mistress and Third Mistress! Steward Cao is awake!”

Before long, the area outside Cao Bu’s door was crowded with people.

Over these past few days, the story of Cao Bu carrying Leng Yue on his back and dragging his broken body back to the Gu Clan had spread throughout the entire Family.

Many people even made a special trip to see those ten miles of bloodstains.

That scene alone was enough to move anyone.

For an outsider to go to such lengths for a Mistress of the Gu Clan, it truly commanded respect from the bottom of one’s heart.

It wasn’t until nightfall that the crowd outside gradually dispersed.

Leng Yue stood by the bed, looking at Cao Bu who had already opened his eyes; the excitement in her heart was almost impossible to calm.

She had already prepared for the worst; she hadn’t expected the pleasant surprise to come so soon.

But in front of everyone, she could only suppress her emotions, saying polite formalities like ”rest well” and ”recover in peace” before leaving with Su Li.

A few days later, inside Su Li’s bedchamber.

She lay in Cao Bu’s arms, panting softly. ”You devil, what’s with this body of yours?”

”The higher your cultivation, the more you seem able to toss me around.”

”If this continues, I really won’t be able to take it.”

Cao Bu stroked her smooth back, his lips curling slightly. ”I’m not sure either. Perhaps it’s talent.”

Su Li rolled her eyes at him, her tone curious. ”By the way, regarding Leng Yue, did you actually succeed or not?”

Cao Bu laughed. ”Haven’t you already seen it? Why ask me on purpose?”

”I just wanted to hear it from your own mouth.” Su Li lifted her small face, her eyes filled with cunning. ”Well? How was the taste?”

Cao Bu licked his lips as if reminiscing. ”Quite excellent.”

Seeing his satisfied expression, Su Li also smiled and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. ”Oh right, when I went to see Leng Yue yesterday, she told me that Gu Feng has already ended his seclusion and is expected to return to the Gu Clan in a month.”

Cao Bu nodded, keeping this matter in mind.

Gu Feng’s return might bring new variables.

Remembering something else, he asked, ”What about the things I asked you to find last time?”

Su Li raised her hand, and three storage rings appeared in her palm.

She handed the rings to Cao Bu and explained them one by one:

”This one is for Linglong. It contains some spirit fruits she likes to eat, a few protective Spiritual Artifacts, and her cultivation resources.”

”This one contains Heaven And Earth Treasures infused with Yin and Yang Qi. These things are very rare; even the Gu Clan only found about a dozen.”

”The last one contains the Materials you need to Cultivate the Primordial Indestructible Scripture. The Materials for levels one through ten have been gathered, but a few are missing for level eleven, and there are none at all for level twelve.”

”Most of the Gu Clan are Sword Cultivators, and Body Cultivators are rare to begin with. You’ll probably have to find those rare Body Refining Materials yourself.”

Just then, a cold female voice suddenly rang out: ”Who wants the things you’re giving?”

As the words fell, one of the storage rings vanished instantly.

Su Li wasn’t angry. ”Duplicitous girl.”

Cao Bu put away the other two storage rings, and with a thought: ”System, open the attribute panel.”

”System, draw.”

[Ding, congratulations to the Host, you have obtained the Life and Death Demon Seed.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host, you have obtained the yin-yang emperor venerable pill formula.]

If the Host dies, those with the secondary demonic seed will die along with him.

If someone with the secondary demonic seed dies, the Host remains unharmed.

ultimate black silk: A defensive supreme dao emperor weapon, of the same type as the supreme dao emperor pouch.

Note: When the wearer does not control it, it can be torn, and it will recover on its own afterward.

Cao Bu checked them one by one and found that the Materials required for the yin-yang emperor venerable pill formula actually included the Materials for the nine revolutions emperor bone rebuilding pill formula.

Suddenly, an idea formed in his mind.

If it could be realized, it would be a good solution.

As for the ultimate black silk, he looked at Su Li in his arms...
