Chapter 52: Husband, You're So Bad

The room was filled with soft, sweet gasps as Chu Yanran collapsed into Su Chen's embrace, her entire body limp and tingling with pleasure.

Su Chen's hand gently patted her round, delicate behind before tilting his head down to gaze at her. His voice was soft but teasing as he spoke. "My beloved wife."

"Hmm..." Chu Yanran responded, her beautiful eyes dreamy and unfocused. Her breath carried the faint fragrance of orchids as she murmured, "Husband, it feels like you've gotten... stronger."

"Of course!" Su Chen grinned smugly. "After all, who is your husband?"

He chuckled to himself, fully aware of the reason behind his sudden surge in strength. That fateful dual cultivation session with the mysterious woman in the black gauze dress hadn't just left him unscathed—it had been a boon. His cultivation had skyrocketed, breaking past the peak of the Dao Palace Realm and reaching the sixth level of the Divine Ability Realm in one leap.

However, he clearly remembered the woman's loss during their exchange. What puzzled him was why she had fled, despite knowing his identity as the young master of the Su family.

Wasn't being his woman enticing enough?

Chu Yanran's soft hand traced his chest, her voice laced with curiosity and admiration. "No wonder these past few days, when we cultivated together, I kept feeling this warm energy coursing through me. So, it was because your strength truly improved!"

Her words made Su Chen pause briefly before his lips curled into a devilish smile. "What? You mean it wasn't obvious enough from my... performance?"

"You're so bad!" Chu Yanran blushed, playfully scolding him. Her delicate pink tongue lightly brushed her lips before she leaned in, her noble and seductive posture melting into a gentle kiss.

Su Chen wrapped his arms around her slender waist, swiftly flipping their positions.

"Husband..." Chu Yanran's voice turned into a soft moan. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and her almond-shaped eyes brimmed with tender affection and desire.

Though she hadn't forgotten the mission given to her by Qin Xinran, she had her own aspirations—to bear Su Chen's child as soon as possible.

What followed was a scene too vivid for description.

Two Hours Later

The sun was already high in the sky when Su Chen finally dragged himself out of bed, albeit reluctantly.

Stepping out of his room, he noticed Su Meier dutifully standing guard by the door. His tone was casual as he asked, "Meier, has there been any unusual movement from Ye Fan recently?"

"Reporting to the young master," Su Meier replied respectfully. "Ye Fan hasn't stepped out of Xiao Tiancheng's courtyard these past few days. However..."

She hesitated, her expression conflicted.

Su Chen's brows furrowed. "However, what?"

After a moment of hesitation, Su Meier continued, "Su Yong has been visiting Xiao Tiancheng's courtyard quite frequently. I suspect the three of them might be plotting something."

"Su Yong?" Su Chen murmured, deep in thought. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "Keep someone watching him. If there's even the slightest unusual movement, inform me immediately."

"Understood, young master!" Su Meier bowed respectfully before retreating.

As he watched her figure disappear into the distance, Su Chen's expression darkened. A flicker of murderous intent gleamed in his eyes.

That cousin of mine just can't stay out of trouble, can he? What sort of scheme is he brewing this time?

Although Su Chen had already stripped Ye Fan of his destiny several times, it seemed fate still favored him. Even Su Yong had now become one of Ye Fan's pawns.

Ye Fan, Ye Fan... why can't you just resign yourself to mediocrity? Wouldn't it be easier to live a peaceful, idle life? Yet here you are, stirring up trouble and foolishly trying to defy fate.

With a shake of his head, Su Chen dismissed Ye Fan from his thoughts and turned to embrace Chu Yanran. Together, they headed to visit his mother.

At Zui Xiang Lou (Drunken Paradise Pavilion)

In the bustling state capital of Eastern Hua Continent, three figures sat in a private room of the renowned tavern. Xiao Tiancheng, Ye Fan, and Su Yong shared drinks as the lively chatter from the tavern's main hall reached their ears.

"Have you heard? A few days ago at the Tianqiong Auction House, someone dared to challenge the Su family's young master. Can you guess what happened?" one patron's voice carried over.

"Is that even a question? Of course, the fool got his face slapped! Who in their right mind would go against the Su family?" another sneered.

"Let me tell you what I heard! That kid was from a small sect here in Eastern Hua Continent. Apparently, his grudge against the young master started because the Su family's heir took his master as a concubine. He opposed it with all his might but failed miserably."

"Ha! That brat's nothing but a lecher. I heard he lusted after his own master for years. Truly despicable."

"And get this—he even had the audacity to set his sights on the eldest young lady of the Xiao family! But, as expected, he was humiliated in front of everyone by the Su family's young master."

"Some people just don't know their place. Competing with the Su family's young master for women? What a joke!"

The tavern roared with laughter, the drunken patrons finding endless entertainment in recounting the events.

"That's what you call 'looking for death with a lantern in a cesspit!'"

"Didn't the Su family's heir even carve a mark on his backside with a knife? Served him right!"

As the laughter continued below, the private room fell silent. Ye Fan's face twisted with rage, his fists clenched tightly. His chest still ached faintly from the humiliation he suffered, and his eyes burned with cold fury.

"Chu Yanran, you treacherous wench," Ye Fan muttered under his breath. "You sold yourself to Su Chen for cultivation resources. You're nothing more than his plaything, his dog."

"And you, Xiao Ruoyu... a vain woman who sold herself for ten billion upper-grade spirit stones. Disgusting!"

"Su Chen..." Ye Fan growled, his nails digging into his palms. "For all the humiliation I've endured, I'll make you pay back a thousandfold!"

As Ye Fan seethed, Su Yong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother Ye, don't be disheartened. My own grievances with Su Chen are no less than yours. He humiliated me publicly just days ago, slapping me across the face without hesitation. But don't worry. I won't sit idly by—I'll make sure he pays!"

"Exactly," Xiao Tiancheng chimed in. "We can't afford to wait. The best defense is a good offense."

A glint of cunning flashed in Ye Fan's eyes as he smirked. "Have you noticed Su Chen's biggest weakness?"

Both Su Yong and Xiao Tiancheng exchanged puzzled looks. "What weakness?"

"His insatiable lust," Ye Fan sneered. "He's been after Xiao Ruoyu, hasn't he? Let's use her as bait to lure him into a trap. Not only can we eliminate a common enemy, but it'll also resolve both of your troubles. Two birds with one stone."

"An excellent plan!" Xiao Tiancheng stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with malice.
