Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 413 Swept up

As Wu Long received the news about their second 'fat prey' in the Yin Yang Unity Palace being caught, he could finally consider this initial part of their plan finished.

'Heh, that guy really pulled it off. Hmm, impressive'

Wu Long thought as he received news that Xia Jung with his partner managed to defeat Grand Elder Zheng among other notable achievements, even though it was a tough struggle. Of course Vice Palace Master was not someone they could hope to handle, but his ambition was ended by Lian Zhiqiu herself.

He then turned, as they still had some things to do, including meeting Princess Cai Yin before heading back to Fantian Kingdom.

"Hey handsome, will you really not tell this Sister your secret? My curiosity has already peaked and there really is no hiding from it for me"

Madam Liang smiled, as her cheeks revealed a light blush.

Wu Long, stopped and as he turned to her, inwardly chuckled when he saw that this time it was not a coy act, but a genuine reaction. It was more subtle, spontaneous and uncontrolled, and her efforts to hide it were real as well as her smile turned more wry than the intended usual seductive one as a result.

Her elegant and delicate shoulders exposed by the revealing cheongsam instinctively pulled in very slightly, almost imperceptibly before being forcibly stopped by sheer will.

In this moment, Liang Yuhan looked far more attractive than any of her femme fatale-esque advances and playful seductive demeanor before.

Her gaze which usually looked him straight in the eyes the whole time she talked could not maintain eye contact this time as she slightly turned it to look up at his forehead, a tactic meant to disguise that nothing changed.

Even Zhao Xieren who first had the urge to insert a cheeky comment with a lecherous giggle, froze with his mouth already open in a smile, and widened his eyes in shock as he saw that face, never having expected to see it on this woman after knowing her for so long.

He then tactfully turned away in a casual and natural manner, moving to the other side of the room as if to inspect the weapon and spatial ring of the person he slayed earlier this day that he already checked with Wu Long before. Though he did put the weapon inside the ring this time.

"Hmm, perhaps the next time we meet, Madam Liang. It is not a conversation to make in passing"

Wu Long smiled, and something in his slightly changed demeanor toward her in this moment almost took her breath away as the pupils of her green eyes widened as she looked at his face.

"Then, until next time"

Her expression finally eased after that moment of weakness passed and she smiled in a relaxed manner as Wu Long nodded, received the spatial ring from Old Man Zhao and then left with his two ladies.

The room turned silent as Madam Liang and Zhao Xieren stood unmoving for a few moments.

'Tch, I should have held it in'

Liang Yuhan thought as she sighed, lamenting asking the question while under the influence of emotions that got out of hand instead of later when she had time to process them and calm down.

As a result she slipped up. Who could blame her? After witnessing the scene of him on this day, in his Revolving Qi Realm and yet on equal grounds with an Essence Gathering Realm Gu Zhen who she dreaded meeting anytime it happened. Wu Long's unwavering, confident demeanor, that charisma and raw power in his every gaze, word and mannerism were all too fatal to any woman. No woman could rebuke her for being swept up.

"Don't look at me like that Senior, it is embarrassing as it is"

Liang Yuhan who stood facing the entrance to the room spoke without turning, as Old Man Zhao chuckled, somehow able to guess what her expression looked like even without seeing.

"Hoho, who said I was looking?"

"I can feel those glances with the back of my head"

"Hehehe, what is there to be embarrassed about? Ah being young is so nice~"

"Senior Zhao!"

The laughter of the old man became louder as the slightly humiliated tone in the voice of Madam Liang intensified.

---

"Hah! That woman sure has nerves of steel"

"Why is that?"

Feng Yi huffed on their way as Shen Min raised her eyebrow.

"Why? Didn't you see her flirting with Wu Long when we were right there?"

"And? Are you saying you're against Wu Long having other women?"

"Of course not, if I was I wouldn't be here right now. The problem is not Wu Long, I can understand when he's the one making a move... but her! Can you believe the audacity to openly flirt with a man in front of his women?!"

"Mm, you might have been right if it was an unwanted advance, or a challenge to any of us, I wouldn't feel good either. But in this case she didn't disregard us, as she politely addressed us throughout conversations, and kept her distance at most times, I just think she's seeing the signs that allow her actions"

Shen Min pondered a little. It was true that if a random woman was boldly making advances on a man without any regard to his women standing right there, even the most reasonable people like Shen Min would not find it amusing.

"Besides, didn't you see that look she had? I can't really blame her to be honest"

But she recognized that Liang Yuhan actually only flirted in passing with a light heart when they were present, clearly showing she was not serious, and the only real advance she made was at the very end. And even that final exchange was more of a slip up than intended insult to her and Feng Yi.

More than that, Shen Min could understand that feeling she saw in Liang Yuhan's eyes, as she was someone who understood Wu Long's charm.

"Hmm, maybe you're right"

Feng Yi sank into thoughts as well, thinking back to that look in the green eyes of a beauty, something very hard to fake and incredibly understandable to her as well.

It was not beyond her that women found Wu Long attractive, it was just an instinctive answer to being challenged. Shen Min was less combative when it came to women being around him in the first place so she did not take it as deeply.

Wu Long inwardly chuckled at this conversation, but didn't weigh in since Shen Min managed the situation well. He also knew how disastrous of an outcome could butting into conversations not meant for him bring about, as that could backfire very easily, and with good reason.

It was the type of women's talk that they did not mind men hearing but interference could lead to dire results as any word uttered by the latter could become taking someone's side or taking a stance.

The three of them sped to the Royal Winter Villa, arriving shortly after.

Liang Yuhan and Zhao Xieren had separate preparations to make, and Zhao Biren was still tied up in Fantian Kingdom.

The latter would be eventually staying with Princess Cai Yin to ensure her safety in the Tingren Kingdom just like Ye Ling stayed in Fantian Kingdom, soon to be joined by Liang Yuhan and Lian Zhiqiu stayed in the sect, soon to be joined by Old Man Zhao.

These arrangements were discussed prior, so every group and person moved simultaneously.
