Chapter 495 Chapter 491 Cao Ying came to the door

In that luxurious and exquisite alchemy room, the aroma of medicine filled the air.

Cao Ying looked up and saw Xiao Ling and Dan Chen walking hand in hand. At this moment, Dan Chen, if judging from her appearance alone, had not changed significantly compared to before, and was still as pretty and charming as before.

However, a closer look reveals that the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ling was very different from before. His eyes seemed to contain thousands of emotions, a myriad of dependence, and undisguised love.

Moreover, there seemed to be an indescribable mature temperament in her, as if she had undergone a different kind of transformation, and there was a bit more charm in her every move.

Cao Ying was smart and had a very clear mind. Looking at the situation before him, and recalling the scattered news he had accidentally heard from the servants in the mansion before, he pieced these bits and pieces together in his mind and immediately guessed what was going on.

Thinking of this, her face changed instantly, her eyes were full of surprise, and her tone was full of jealousy. She couldn't help but open her mouth and scolded,

"Xiao Ling, you are so shameless! You actually attacked Sister Chen'er. How old is Sister Chen'er? You actually did such a thing. You are worse than an animal."

Hearing Cao Ying's reproachful words, Xiao Ling and Dan Chen both subconsciously stopped walking forward, and their expressions changed slightly.

Xiao Ling didn't take Cao Ying's words too seriously. After all, he had anticipated such a scenario before, so he was still calm.

But Danchen on the other side was a little different. She was a shy girl to begin with, and Cao Ying's words were so blunt and explicit that her face turned red all of a sudden. She felt extremely embarrassed.

And according to common sense, Cao Ying knew Xiao Ling earlier than she did. But now she and Xiao Ling have come to this point, as if she had come from behind and "grabbed" the opportunity.

Such thoughts made Danchen, a girl with a very good appearance, feel an indescribable strange and complex emotion in her heart. However, the strange thing was that in this intertwined emotion, she actually felt a hint of pleasure.

"Cao Ying, what you said is really serious. Chen Er and I are in love with each other, so how could there be such things as you said?"

Xiao Ling just waved his hand lightly, with a nonchalant smile on his face, and said.

After that, he quickly changed the subject, his eyes swept over Cao Ying and Dan Chen, and then said: "It just so happens that I am still free during this period. If you have any questions about the way of practicing as a talisman master, or if you want to learn more about alchemy, you can come and consult me. With my current level, I should be able to give you a lot of inspiration."

Xiao Ling has been exposed to the art of talisman master for quite some time, so he naturally understands the tricks and tips much more deeply than the two beginners, Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

As for alchemy, although Cao Ying and Dan Chen have now reached the level of eighth-grade alchemists, Xiao Ling can refine top-level eighth-grade pills. Such strength undoubtedly makes him qualified enough to teach the two women.

What's more, Xiao Ling has a real ninth-grade alchemist like Yao Chen to teach him carefully. Yao Chen has a very deep reserve of knowledge, and with his generous teaching, Xiao Ling has also accumulated a wealth of knowledge, which is enough to bring many benefits to Cao Ying and Dan Chen at the moment. Some guidance can enable them to go to a higher level in the art of alchemy and avoid many detours.

Faced with Xiao Ling's clever change of subject, Dan Chen's heart had already been entirely on Xiao Ling, so he nodded obediently to show his agreement.

As for Cao Ying, although she was still a little unhappy because of the jealousy, she was definitely not the kind of reckless woman who would lose her temper at will.

She knew in her heart that if she continued to vent her anger and lose her temper, it would only make Xiao Ling more annoyed, which was not the result she wanted to see.

In the end, Cao Ying just curled her lips slightly, mumbled a few words and complained a little, and finally didn't say anything more, but there were still some complex emotions in her eyes that were difficult to dissipate.

Xiao Ling was very satisfied that he had achieved the goal of settling the matter peacefully and did not let the matter escalate further, so he did not say anything more about it.

Next, the three of them started to chat leisurely in the alchemy room, sharing their experiences and methods of practicing the Way of the Talisman Master. Xiao Ling explained in detail the many key points he knew, which brought a lot of inspiration to the two women.

In addition to discussing the ways of talisman master cultivation, there is naturally also discussion and exchange on the art of alchemy.

In terms of alchemy, although Xiao Ling is indeed far ahead of Dan Chen and Cao Ying, these two are, after all, extremely gifted alchemy geniuses. They each have many unique insights in alchemy and can come up with some brilliant ideas from time to time.

When the two women shared their ideas with Xiao Ling without reservation, it often made his eyes light up, opened up new thinking paths for him, and gained a lot of inspiration from them.

For Xiao Ling, this kind of communication did give him a lot of inspiration, which was a bit of an unexpected surprise.

On the ceiling of the attic of the mansion, the little mink was lying leisurely on its side with a medicinal herb in its mouth. It looked so free and easy.

It crossed its legs and squinted its eyes, enjoying the leisure time at the moment comfortably, letting the breeze blow gently, lifting a few strands of hair on its forehead, adding a sense of casualness.

"This guy Xiao Ling really has a way to deal with women. He can handle them easily every time. Tsk, it's really speechless." The little mink said as it slowly opened its narrow eyes.

A gleam of thoughtfulness flashed across its eyes, and then it cast its gaze toward the blue sky, sighed leisurely, and couldn't help but ponder in its heart:

"Hey, Master Diao, should I also think about finding a few wives? Although this Douqi Continent is not as good as our Tianxuan Continent, what if I really can't go back? Then I have to leave blood here for the Tianyao Diao clan."

"If I can pass on the bloodline of my Heavenly Demon Marten clan to other planes, it would be a great achievement. Otherwise, my trip here would be in vain."

……

Unconsciously, the hustle and bustle of the day gradually faded away, and the night was like a huge piece of black silk, slowly spreading out from the sky, shrouding the entire continent in tranquility.

The lights in the mansion lit up one after another, and the tiny lights swayed in the night, like stars twinkling in the darkness, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet night.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a little bit of the coolness of the night, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle, as if whispering the story of the night. Occasionally, a few insects chirped, one after another, interweaving into a unique night music, making the night even more quiet.

Inside the film retouching room, a few candles were flickering slightly, casting a dim light.

Xiao Ling was sitting cross-legged on the bed, immersed in cultivation. Everything around him seemed to be isolated from him.

Suddenly, "Knock, knock, knock", a few crisp knocks on the door abruptly broke the silence, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night and immediately startled Xiao Ling.

He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and the calmness in his eyes was instantly replaced by doubt, and his brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly.

After a brief pause, Xiao Ling stood up lightly, walked out of the training room with steady steps, and looked straight in the direction of the door in the direction of the sound.

Although the door was closed and Xiao Ling couldn't see the face of the person outside, when the familiar breath slowly came, he immediately recognized who it was. It was Cao Ying.

After realizing this, Xiao Ling's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Cao Ying actually came to visit so late in the evening. Xiao Ling couldn't help but recall her previous resentful look, and some strange guesses popped up in his mind.

However, Xiao Ling did not bother to think about it any further. He shook his head gently, as if he wanted to get rid of those messy thoughts, and then walked towards the door.

Anyway, no matter what the matter is, we can just ask when we meet later, there is no point in making random guesses now.

With a creaky sound, the door was slowly pushed open, as if breaking the tranquility of the night and drawing Xiao Ling's gaze to the dreamlike scene outside the door.

At this moment, the moonlight is like clear flowing water, pouring down and covering the earth with a layer of sparkling silver frost. The whole world seems to be immersed in a hazy and poetic atmosphere.

Under the cover of the moonlight, a graceful figure in a black dress stood there quietly.

The long skirt was like the softest silk in the night. With the gentle breeze, it gently rippled with folds. Every flutter of the skirt seemed to be performing a silent dance on the stage of the night, elegant and mysterious.

Her slender waist was so thin that it could be held in one hand, and her figure was so graceful and charming that she looked even more charming under the caress of the moonlight.

Her long, shiny black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and each strand of hair emitted a unique luster, which made her face look even whiter than snow. There was an indescribable charm between her eyebrows and eyes, as if she was a fairy who walked out of the Moon Palace and quietly fell into this mortal world.

My eyes slowly moved down the side of the long skirt, and I saw a pair of slender beautiful legs faintly visible under the hem. Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as snow, with a soft halo. The perfect length and lines revealed a different kind of alluring charm, as if it had endless attraction, making people can't help but take a few more glances.

Such a prominent feature naturally revealed the identity of the visitor, who was naturally Cao Ying.

Xiao Ling was slightly startled, and was the first to break the silence. After coughing lightly, he asked with some doubt: "Cao Ying, it's so late, why are you here?"

Cao Ying bit her lower lip slightly, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before she looked up at Xiao Ling. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including anger and a hint of subtle shyness. She responded softly, "I... I have something on my mind, and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come talk to you. You... you won't think I'm disturbing you, right?"

Xiao Ling waved his hand casually, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said: "How can that be possible? Let's talk first. It's cold at night. It's easy to catch a cold if you stand outside..."

After saying that, Xiao Ling naturally reached out his hand and gently took Cao Ying's hand. The touch was delicate and soft, making him feel very comfortable. Then, he slowly led her into the room.

Cao Ying did not resist at all. She just obediently let Xiao Ling lead her, and walked into the room with slightly nervous steps.

After the two walked into the room, they didn't say anything for a while. They just walked to the couch in the living room tacitly and sat down slowly.

After a moment of silence, Cao Ying seemed to have found the most reassuring support. She naturally leaned her delicate body against Xiao Ling's, with a look of dependence.

When Xiao Ling saw this, a surge of tenderness surged in his heart. He opened his arms and gently embraced her.

"You bad guy, do you like little girls like Danchen? You don't like more mature girls like me."

As Cao Ying spoke, she stretched out her slender jade hand, clenched it into a small fist, and with a bit of coquettishness, she gently hammered on Xiao Ling's solid chest, then pouted her rosy little mouth, her eyes full of complaints, and said,
"You haven't even done anything to me yet, but you actually took down Danchen's sister before. Humph, this is really too much."

Cao Ying looked completely different from the confident and calm demeanor she usually displayed in front of outsiders.

At this moment, she was like a little girl who was acting coquettishly in front of her lover. Her cute and slightly complaining look made Xiao Ling feel quite interesting, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

"What are you thinking about? I like both of you very much. It's just that by chance, something like that happened between me and Sister Chen'er. I never expected that it would turn out that way." Xiao Ling said as he gently stroked Cao Ying's hair with a gentle smile on his face and his words were full of sincerity.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Cao Ying stopped complaining. She raised her head slightly, raised her pretty face, and stared at Xiao Ling with her beautiful eyes. There was a different light flashing in her eyes, with a bit of stubbornness and a hint of shyness. She said softly, "Since you said you like me, then prove it to me."

At this point, her face instantly turned red, and that hint of shyness spread like the sunset glow in the sky. Her voice unconsciously became smaller and smaller, almost a mosquito's whisper, "Besides, in this matter, I don't want to lose too much to that girl..." (End of this chapter)
