Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

224: Gu Yingying stumbled upon a good thingCao Bu slowly opened his eyes, as if Yin and Yang were rotating within them.

He felt the surging power within his body and a clearer perception of the Yin-Yang Law, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

”Thank you, Senior.” He stood up and bowed to the Array Emperor with cupped hands.

The Array Emperor stroked his beard, unable to hide the amazement in his eyes: ”This Formation is yours; I merely went with the flow.”

Cao Bu shook his head: ”Regardless of how you put it, if not for you, Senior, this Formation could not have been completed. I must still thank you, Senior.”

The Array Emperor laughed heartily and immediately cupped his hands: ”Clan Chief Cao, Fellow Daoist Su, Fellow Daoist Leng, farewell.”

The three of them, Cao Bu, cupped their hands: ”We respectfully send you off, Senior (Array Emperor).”

The Array Emperor nodded to Su Li and Leng Yue, then transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

Cao Bu’s gaze swept over the joyful faces of Su Li and Leng Yue, then looked toward the horizon.

He seemed to hear the impotent rage of the Yin-Yang Celestial Emperor within the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss.

A new storm had already descended; how could he stop his footsteps!

Su Li and Leng Yue stepped forward, their eyes filled with undisguised excitement.

”Bu’er, congratulations.”

The two spoke in unison, their tones filled with joy.

Cao Bu withdrew his gaze, nodded, and smiled: ”Two Adoptive Mothers, let us return.”

”Mn,” Su Li and Leng Yue replied softly.

The two followed on his left and right sides.

Seeing this, The Black and White Elders hurriedly followed.

The five transformed into a stream of light and vanished into the sky in an instant.

Those Cultivators who were cultivating by leeching off the Spiritual Qi a hundred miles away finally dared to breathe a long sigh of relief.

They looked with awe in the direction where Cao Bu and the others had disappeared, whispering amongst themselves.

”Is that Cao Bu? Such terrifying Aura; it made my legs go weak even from this far away!”

”Second stage of Quasi-Emperor! Breaking through multiple realms in a single day, it is simply a myth!”

”The heavens of the Gu Clan are about to change.”

...

Returning to the Gu Clan.

Cao Bu had just entered Cangfeng Residence.

He faintly heard a rhythm mixed with a woman’s whispers and strange sounds coming from the room where Yan Ruyu resided.

Cao Bu frowned slightly, his Divine Sense silently sweeping over, and the scene he saw made the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

He saw Yan Ruyu sitting upright at the round table with a serious expression of academic inquiry, pointing at a glowing, shimmering shadow-recording stone on the table, earnestly explaining to Fang Qianqian, who was resting her chin on her hand beside her:

”Qianqian, look, this is the basic demonstration of the Dual Cultivation Dao; the key lies in the rhythm of the Spiritual Qi circulation and the resonance nodes of the Meridians.”

”Mn, this move is called ’Fish Swimming in Shallow Waters,’ which emphasizes lightness and longevity...”

Fang Qianqian listened until her face turned red, wanting very much to escape from here.

This hateful Yan Ruyu had dragged her here to review her lessons again; it was simply unreasonable.

Thinking of the consequences of not listening just now, she felt her bottom still stinging with pain.

This Yan Ruyu really didn’t hold back.

If she wanted to escape or didn’t listen carefully, she would have to endure the greeting of a slap.

Now, it was so bad that she didn’t even dare to sit on a stool with any force.

She swore that she would definitely make Yan Ruyu pay in the future.

Facing this situation, she had no choice but to pretend to understand, pointing at the light screen in front of her and saying: ”Sister Ruyu, why do they have to do this? Won’t their Spiritual Qi collide?”

Cao Bu couldn’t listen any further upon hearing this.

He shook his head helplessly and whispered: ”This girl, studying these unreliable things all day long, and even leading Qianqian astray.”

After saying this, he turned and left quietly.

Inside the room, Yan Ruyu’s teaching continued.

Fang Qianqian still had a bitter little face, continuing to endure this strange lesson that made her blush but which she had to humbly accept.

...

Several days later, in Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard.

The moonlight was like water, casting a clear radiance through the window lattice.

After finishing the clan affairs, Cao Bu secretly came to Su Li’s place.

The room was filled with curling warm incense, and Su Li, wearing a simple and elegant nightgown, was combing her dark hair in front of the mirror.

Glancing at Cao Bu’s figure in the mirror, her eyes softened slightly, and a smile spread across her lips.

”How do you have time to come over?” She put down the jade comb and turned to look.

”Of course, it is because I missed you.”

Cao Bu walked closer, naturally wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, and smelling the elegant fragrance in her hair.

Su Li’s body trembled slightly, then she relaxed, leaning into his embrace, and chided: ”You have no manners.”

”Is that so? Then let me show you what having no manners really means.”

As he spoke, Cao Bu gently turned her around and leaned down to kiss those slightly cool red lips.

Su Li closed her eyes and responded, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Unknowingly.

The two had moved to the bedside.

Just at this moment.

”Mother! Look at this new Holy Sword I obtained, what do you think?”

Gu Yingying’s cheerful voice approached from afar, and she pushed the door open and walked in.

The two, lost in passion, opened their eyes at the same time, a flash of panic appearing in their pupils.

Cao Bu was about to leave, but it was already too late.

Gu Yingying had already appeared in the room.

The smile on her face froze, and her pupils contracted violently.

She saw two figures overlapping on the bed not far away.

That familiar profile looked very much like Cao Bu.

And her mother was lying in Cao Bu’s arms, her face flushed and her hair disheveled.

In an instant, her brain roared.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Holy Sword in Gu Yingying’s hand clattered to the floor.

The blood drained from her face instantly, only to be replaced by a burning, fiery red from her raging anger!

”You... you two!”

Gu Yingying pointed a trembling finger at the two who had suddenly separated on the bed, her voice shaking from extreme shock.

”Cao Bu! How dare you do this to my mother...!”

She thought of every little detail with Cao Bu, never expecting that the person she liked was such a beast.

Su Li hurriedly pulled her clothes together, her face pale: ”Yingying, listen to Mother’s explanation.”

”Explain what!” Gu Yingying’s eyes were splitting with rage: ”I saw it all! Cao Bu! You beast! That is my mother!”

She lunged down to pick up the Holy Sword from the floor, her internal Spiritual Qi exploding, her Void Breaking Realm Aura released without reservation, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Cao Bu, her voice shrill:

”I am going to kill you!!!”

As soon as the words fell, a sharp and unparalleled Sword Qi tore through the air, carrying all of Gu Yingying’s grief and indignation as it slashed fiercely toward Cao Bu!

Cao Bu’s expression changed, and he waved his sleeve, a gentle force of Yin and Yang surging out to silently dissolve the Sword Qi, while simultaneously hiding behind Su Li.

”Yingying, calm down!” Cao Bu said in a deep voice, trying to explain: ”Things are not as you see them.”

”Shut up! I won’t listen!”

Gu Yingying couldn’t hear a word; at this moment, she felt as if her faith had collapsed and her world had overturned.

How could Cao Bu be fooling around with her mother behind her back.

This was simply unforgivable.

”Cao Bu, today I will definitely take your life!”

Her wrist flipped, and she pulled a giant, cold-glinting, three-meter-long horse-chopping saber out of her storage ring!

This was clearly her trump card weapon; the blade was engraved with ancient runes, and it radiated an oppressive Evil Qi.

”Startling Swan Slash!”

Gu Yingying shouted angrily, and the horse-chopping saber whipped up a violent gale, instantly shredding the room’s furnishings as it went straight for Cao Bu’s head!

This strike was made in a fit of rage, with astonishing power that exceeded her usual level.

Cao Bu had no choice but to wrap his arm around Su Li’s waist and flash away, dodging this violent slash.

At the same time, he silently raised his hand to cast a Barrier, isolating the commotion from the outside world.

Seeing this, Su Li hurriedly stopped her: ”Yingying! Stop!”

But how could Gu Yingying, in her rage, be willing to listen.

Seeing that the strike missed, she burned with even more anger.

She chased after him relentlessly, carrying the ten-thousand-jin horse-chopping saber.

”Cao Bu! If you are a man, let me slash you once!”
