Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

133: I promise to go with you.This scene clearly fell into Fang Ruodan and Liu Ruyan’s eyes.

The two exchanged glances subtly, both seeing doubt in each other’s eyes.

Especially Leng Yue’s excited demeanor just now, which had already exceeded the boundary between an Adoptive Mother and Adopted Son.

Cao Bu, by controlling Fang Ruodan, could vaguely perceive her thoughts.

He helplessly glanced at Leng Yue.

It seemed this matter couldn’t be kept secret for long.

Even he could tell that Leng Yue’s gaze towards him was full of affection.

Leng Yue, too, why couldn’t she learn from Su Li?

In front of outsiders, Su Li truly treated him as an Adopted Son, handling the boundaries perfectly.

Perhaps, this was the side effect of the love gu.

It made her heart completely devoted to him, unable to hide her emotions at all.

Although he harbored resentment, Cao Bu couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased.

Now, in the Gu Clan, only Gu Feng and Luo Qingcheng hadn’t been dealt with properly. Luo Qingcheng was in seclusion, so she could be ignored for now.

As for Gu Feng, it was time to find a way to eliminate him.

This fellow had a body-protecting Restriction left by Gu Qingtian, so killing him was impossible.

Then he could only use the other shore floating life powder. It seemed that after returning, he would have to arrange for Gu Feng to be forever lost in it.

And Gu Feng’s woman, he would have to snatch her over too, making her completely devoted to him.

”Thank you for your concern, Adoptive Mother.” Cao Bu respectfully bowed to Leng Yue, his tone perfectly measured.

Leng Yue also quickly adjusted her state, displaying the authority of an Adoptive Mother, and nodded: ”Before your Adoptive Father’s Ascension, what he worried about most was your Dantian. Now that this matter is resolved, if he knows about it in the Upper Realm, he will surely be very happy.”

Cao Bu nodded, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion: ”The kindness of my Adoptive Father, I, Cao Bu, will never forget in this lifetime.”

”Adoptive Father, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the Gu Clan for you.”

He held a sentence in his heart that he didn’t speak:

I will kill your son, take care of your wife, and then marry your three precious daughters, letting them all live happy and fulfilling lives.

He withdrew his thoughts.

Cao Bu walked up to Fang Ruodan, cupped his hands, and said: ”Thank you, Emperor Alchemist, for refining the rebirth pill for me. Such kindness, I, Cao Bu, will never forget.”

Fang Ruodan silently rolled her eyes inwardly.

This scoundrel, he’s quite good at pretending.

She forced a smile onto her face and said faintly: ”You paid the reward, I did the work. We are even, no need to be so polite.”

”Emperor Alchemist, you are mistaken,” Cao Bu quickly said: ”If you hadn’t intervened, even with more rewards, my Dantian would not have recovered.”

He changed the subject: ”If Emperor Alchemist has time in the future, you must visit the Gu Clan. I will then be able to fulfill my duty as a host and properly thank you.”

”Certainly.” Fang Ruodan casually agreed.

Others didn’t hear the deeper meaning in Cao Bu’s words, and she didn’t fully understand it either.

However, she could clearly sense that these words were definitely not simple; they clearly had a hidden meaning.

Immediately, she transmitted her voice and asked: ”What do you mean by this?”

Cao Bu replied via Divine Sense: ”I will leave with Leng Yue first. You find an opportunity to follow.”

”Bastard!” Fang Ruodan was furious: ”You’ve already had me. Are you still trying to tie me to your side?”

”That’s natural.” Cao Bu’s Divine Sense transmission carried an undeniable dominance: ”You are already my woman. I will never let another man touch you, unless you die.”

Fang Ruodan gritted her teeth: ”Impossible. My not exposing our affair is already the greatest concession. You still want me to go with you? Dream on!”

”Do you have any room to resist?” Cao Bu sneered.

He wouldn’t let go of this free Alchemist.

So, with a thought, he acted.

Fang Ruodan’s fingers clenched uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Fang Ruodan helplessly compromised and transmitted her voice: ”What about the Pill Alliance if I leave? Besides, I still need to refine Medicinal Pills for other Great Emperors.”

”I’m just asking you to change the location of your Alchemy,” Cao Bu’s voice came: ”Don’t you want to enter the Time Wheel Emperor Palace again?”

”Come with me, and you can finish refining all the Medicinal Pills faster, and then you’ll have more time to Cultivate.”

”As for the Pill Alliance, you can just announce that you’re going into seclusion for Alchemy and won’t come out until you’re done, right?”

Fang Ruodan sighed heavily in her heart.

She originally thought Cao Bu was only greedy for her beauty for a short while, but she didn’t expect him to be greedy for her beauty for a lifetime.

Now, it seemed he wanted her to become his exclusive Alchemist.

This hateful beast, it’s simply outrageous.

Yet, she couldn’t resist and could only helplessly transmit her voice: ”Alright, I agree to go with you, but I want to take my child.”

Cao Bu frowned slightly and replied via Divine Sense: ”Child? How old, a boy or a girl?”

”Only a few months old, a girl.” Fang Ruodan’s tone was low.

”Okay.”

Cao Bu agreed without even thinking.

A girl is good; he, Cao Bu, likes girls the most.

These words greatly surprised Fang Ruodan.

She often traveled to the Mortal realms and had seen many Mortal men unwilling to marry women with children.

Although there wasn’t a concept of marriage between her and Cao Bu, their situation was very similar.

This Cao Bu was truly strange; he actually didn’t mind her bringing a child.

Liu Ruyan’s gaze swept over the two, her heart filled with doubt.

What exactly were these two communicating via Divine Sense?

This Divine Sense channel was established by Fang Ruodan, so Leng Yue and Yan Ruyu couldn’t detect it, but she sensed it clearly.

The two secretly communicated via Divine Sense for several breaths.

Although she was curious about their secret, she didn’t investigate out of principle.

Moreover, her cultivation was similar to Fang Ruodan’s, so she would be discovered if she investigated.

”Empress, how is it?” Fang Ruodan turned to Liu Ruyan, and only Liu Ruyan understood the meaning of these words.

Liu Ruyan nodded and said frankly: ”I was mistaken.”

She had just swept Cao Bu’s Dantian with her Divine Sense and saw his Qi Sea full and his magic power surging endlessly, with no trace of damage or stagnation.

Only then did the doubts in her heart slightly dissipate.

It seemed that although that Medicinal Pill had a strange aura, it truly could repair the Dantian.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first.”

Liu Ruyan’s gaze swept over everyone, pausing on Cao Bu for a breath, then her figure transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

After seeing her off, Fang Ruodan looked at Leng Yue and solemnly instructed: ”Leng Yue, Cao Bu has turned misfortune into a blessing this time. Not only has his Dantian recovered, but his talent has also greatly improved.”

”In the coming period, his cultivation might explode in stages. You should be mentally prepared and not find it strange.”

Leng Yue nodded: ”Emperor Alchemist, great kindness needs no words of thanks. This is the reward; I don’t know if it’s enough.”

Saying that, she handed over a storage ring.

Fang Ruodan took it, neither looking at it nor probing it with her Divine Sense, and directly put it away.

”I still have to refine Medicinal Pills for other Great Emperors, so I won’t keep you all.” Fang Ruodan finished speaking and turned to leave.

Leng Yue was slightly surprised to see that she didn’t even bother to check: ”Emperor Alchemist, what is this?”

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Fang Ruodan’s voice came from afar.

Leng Yue looked at her retreating figure, her eyes full of gratitude.

She turned to Cao Bu and said softly: ”Bu’er, it’s time to go back.”

Cao Bu nodded: ”It is time to go back.”

When they came, they spent three months traveling and sightseeing.

Along the way, their traces were left everywhere.

Now on the return journey, they naturally had to travel through it again, treating it as a revisit to old places.
