Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

150: Masochistic YunshangCao Bu nodded, turned around, and began walking out.

Just as he was about to step out of the bedchamber, Yun Shang’s voice rang in his mind, carrying a hint of flirtatious enticement.

”Big Brother, tonight... do you want to come over one more time?”

Cao Bu did not stop his pace, replying via divine transmission: ”You still have injuries on your body. You should rest for a few more days and not force yourself.”

Hearing this, Yun Shang lightly bit her lower lip, her tone in the transmission adding a bit of mock-reproach and suggestion: ”Big Brother, it’s not that I’m forcing myself, it’s that you used too little force last night. I haven’t had my fill yet.”

Cao Bu’s feet stumbled, and he nearly fell over.

The colorful expressions on his face flashed and vanished. He composed his bearing and continued walking forward, his transmission carrying a trace of being between laughter and tears:

”You girl, even that force was too little? Then you tell me, how much force is enough?”

Yun Shang said impatiently: ”Anyway... just don’t show me any pity at all.”

”Yun Shang, you...” The words at the tip of Cao Bu’s tongue came to an abrupt halt. After a moment of silence, he only left behind a complex sigh: ”Shang’er, you’ve really changed. The old you would never have said such things.”

Yun Shang’s transmission instantly softened, full of pleading: ”Big Brother, people always change. You must come tonight. Shang’er will wash up and wait for you.”

Cao Bu didn’t respond further, but his pace quickened by a few points.

The current Yun Shang truly made him see her in a new light.

Last night, fearing he might actually hurt her, he had deliberately held back most of his strength. He hadn’t expected that this girl not only didn’t mind but had instead awakened some kind of different attribute.

This temperament was somewhat like Su Li’s, yet even more outrageous than Su Li’s.

Su Li merely liked to put on an act and play a role.

But this Yun Shang seemed to have a preference for this feeling of being mistreated.

Fine then, since she insisted on this, he would fulfill her wish.

Inside the bedchamber.

Yun Shang didn’t receive a response from Cao Bu, and a quiet surge of joy rose in her heart.

Silence meant tacit consent.

It seemed she had to prepare early tonight.

She looked down at the pitch-black whip in her hand and nodded gently.

She needed to find a longer and thicker one, so it would be more convenient for Cao Bu to use.

As for this old one, she couldn’t throw it away either; she had to keep it well as a memento.

On the other side, just as Cao Bu returned to his Cangfeng Residence, he saw Yan Ruyu walking quickly to meet him.

”Master, someone from the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty is looking for you.”

Cao Bu raised an eyebrow, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes: ”Oh? Do you know the purpose of their visit?”

Yan Ruyu answered truthfully: ”Judging by their meaning, it seems they are here to deliver something.”

Cao Bu lowered his eyes in thought and quickly formed a guess. He immediately set off: ”Where is the person? Lead the way.”

”Waiting in the guest hall.”

Cao Bu nodded and walked toward the guest hall with Yan Ruyu.

Inside the guest hall.

The Great Qin envoy sat upright in a chair, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of his cup, his eyes occasionally glancing toward the door.

When he saw Cao Bu and Yan Ruyu walking in together, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed: ”Greetings, Ninth Elder.”

Before coming, he had seen a portrait of Cao Bu, and now he recognized this Ninth Elder of the Gu Clan at a glance.

Cao Bu nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face, his tone peaceful: ”And Your Excellency is?”

The Great Qin envoy replied: ”I am the commander of the Dragon Guards by Her Majesty’s side, Yu Zheng.”

Cao Bu walked to the main seat and sat down, gesturing for him to take a seat.

”I wonder what important matter the Empress of Great Qin sent you here for?”

Yu Zheng had just sat down when he stood up again upon hearing this, taking out a storage ring from his robes.

”This is what Her Majesty asked me to hand over to you personally. Her Majesty also said that after you see the items inside, you will naturally understand her intentions.”

Before coming, Yu Zheng’s heart had been full of contempt for Cao Bu.

As a powerhouse who had just entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm, condescending to meet an ant whose cultivation was far inferior to his own was simply an insult to his status.

But when he heard that Cao Bu was the sworn brother of Emperor Lu, all his dissatisfaction instantly vanished into thin air.

Regardless of Cao Bu’s cultivation, the status of being the Emperor’s sworn brother alone was enough for him to treat him with solemnity.

Moreover, he always believed in the Emperor’s judgment; anyone recognized as a brother by the Emperor was definitely no ordinary person.

While thinking, Yu Zheng’s pupils shrank.

Wait!

Cao Bu was actually already a Cultivator of the Divine Power Realm.

Didn’t Her Majesty say it had only been a few months since his Dantian was restored? How could he have soared all the way from the first layer of the Heavenly Bridge Realm to this point?

With such a Heaven-Defying speed, it was no wonder he could gain the Emperor’s favor. Future Immortal Ascension was likely a certainty.

At this thought, the look in his eyes as he watched Cao Bu gained a few points of genuine awe.

A Prodigy without a background was nothing, but a Prodigy with a background was someone who absolutely must not be provoked.

As for Yu Zheng’s thoughts, Cao Bu naturally had no interest in investigating them.

Spiritual energy surged from his fingertips. With a beckoning wave of his hand, the storage ring landed in his palm.

The moment his Divine Sense delved inside, he shook his head slightly.

Inside were indeed some Heaven And Earth Treasures containing Yin and Yang Qi.

Although they didn’t meet his inner expectations, they were still much more than what the Gu Clan had found back then.

After all, the Gu Clan primarily cultivated the Dao of the Sword.

Whereas the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty spanned hundreds of millions of miles, with countless types of Cultivators.

Naturally, such treasures would be more complete than those in the Sword Province controlled by the Gu Clan.

”Give this to the Empress of Great Qin and tell her that the cooperation between us can continue indefinitely.”

Cao Bu flicked his finger, and a lustrous white jade bottle shot through the air, landing steadily in Yu Zheng’s hand.

Contained within was exactly one tael of three drunken deep slumber brew.

He still had about nine catties left. Just one tael could heal any injury below the True Immortal level. He had to use it up before his Breakthrough to True Immortal; otherwise, it would become useless.

Yu Zheng held the jade bottle with both hands and bowed: ”In that case, Ninth Elder, I shall take my leave.”

Although he didn’t know what was in the bottle, he didn’t dare to harbor the slightest greed.

Before setting out, Qin Bingyao had specifically warned him that the items Cao Bu delivered were extremely important to her and were irreplaceable supreme treasures.

He was already fiercely loyal to Qin Bingyao, so it was naturally impossible for him to have any thoughts of absconding with the treasure.

Moreover, even if he had the courage, he didn’t have the strength.

He had no doubt that the Emperor could easily crush him to death with just a finger from hundreds of millions of miles away.

Cao Bu waved his hand casually, his tone indifferent: ”Then this Elder will not see you out.”

He was eager to convert these treasures into cultivation. Since his Breakthrough to the Realm King Realm, his Cultivation speed had noticeably slowed down.

If this thought were to spread, it would probably make countless Cultivators cough up blood.

Advancing from the first layer to the second layer of the Realm King Realm in just a month or two, and yet he still thought it was slow—it was simply unreasonable!

After Yu Zheng left, Cao Bu turned to look at Yan Ruyu beside him and instructed: ”Xiao Yu, act as my Protector. I want to refine these treasures immediately.”

Yan Ruyu immediately nodded and replied: ”Yes, Master.”

The two of them went to the cultivation room.

Cao Bu raised his hand and poured out all the Heaven And Earth Treasures from the storage ring at once.

In an instant, over ten thousand Heaven And Earth Treasures of various shapes and sizes, glowing with Yin-Yang spiritual light, filled half the cultivation room.

Cao Bu sat cross-legged, and the Primal Yin-Yang Scripture began to circulate. The Qi points all over his body turned into countless miniature vortexes, erupting with a powerful suction force.

In an instant, the mountain-like pile of treasures all bloomed with radiant light. Incomparably pure Yin and Yang Qi were forcibly extracted, turning into two giant currents of Qi—one black and one white—like Dragons that roared as they surged into Cao Bu’s body.

His aura began to skyrocket at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Realm King Realm third layer!

Realm King Realm fourth layer!

Realm King Realm fifth layer!

In just one hour, the massive amount of resources was swallowed whole.

Cao Bu suddenly opened his eyes. His left eye was as blazing white as the sun, and his right eye was as deep and dark as the night.

A majestic pressure far exceeding before swept through the entire cultivation room, finally stabilizing at the Peak of the fifth layer of the Realm King Realm!

Yan Ruyu stepped forward gracefully and said respectfully: ”Congratulations, Master! My best wishes to Master! Your cultivation has greatly advanced!”

Cao Bu shook his head, his tone carrying regret: ”A pity. The grade of these Heaven And Earth Treasures was too low; they were far from meeting my expectations.”

Yan Ruyu asked in confusion: ”If that’s the case, why did Master still send a supreme treasure to the Empress of Great Qin?”

Cao Bu beckoned to her.

Yan Ruyu immediately understood. She stepped forward quickly and leaned into Cao Bu’s embrace, her soft hair lightly brushing against his arm.

”If I don’t give her a little sweetness, how will she have the motivation to find more Heaven And Earth Treasures containing Yin and Yang Qi for me?”

Yan Ruyu tilted her small face up, her eyes full of admiration: ”So that’s how it is. Xiao Yu understands.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hands to hook around Cao Bu’s neck, her body leaning forward slightly. Her warm breath brushed past his ear as she said softly: ”Master, I...”

Looking at the longing in her eyes, the corners of Cao Bu’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up slightly, and he reached out to pinch her cheek.

”You girl certainly know how to seize an opportunity.”
