Chapter 528 - 447: Resurrection Is Nothing Short of a Miracle!
"Is... is it done?"
Watching Su Yuan, who had paused in shock after sticking his finger into her mouth, Chen Nuoyi’s light golden eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
Because her mouth was occupied by a finger, her words came out a bit muffled and unclear, and as she spoke, her teeth accidentally grazed Su Yuan’s finger.
The tip of her tongue, curling up as she spoke, lightly brushed against Su Yuan’s fingertip.
"...It’s done."
Su Yuan snapped out of his surprise, withdrew his finger from the girl’s moist mouth, bringing with it a thin, glistening string.
Chen Nuoyi grabbed Su Yuan’s withdrawn hand, her pretty face blushing slightly, and quickly found a tissue to wipe her saliva off it thoroughly.
"Remember to wash your hands, and... don’t smell it."
The girl seriously instructed.
This instantly stirred up Su Yuan’s rebellious instincts.
Smell it! Must smell it!
Ahem, just kidding.
Nodding lightly, Su Yuan put on a calm expression and said:
"The experiment was very successful, thank you for your cooperation, I’ll go rest now."
"Oh, go ahead."
Chen Nuoyi lowered her head and started to see him off.
Before leaving, worried about encountering Grandpa Chen in the corridor, Su Yuan specifically activated his Night Raid Must Succeed stealth mode and smoothly returned to his room.
Back in his room, staring at the rising progress bar on the mission interface, he was speechless.
This damn system is crazy!
Clearly, it said to gather three Furnace Cauldrons, and yet sticking a finger into the mouth of the opposite sex counts as negative distance contact that advances the progress bar?
Damn it, if the mission could be completed so easily, why didn’t you say so earlier!
It’s a good thing that my moral integrity is high, otherwise, another Demon might have been duped into doing illegal and unethical things by this crazy mission.
If so, the plot would develop in that direction.
—Years later, facing the execution squad, Old Demon Su, kneeling on the Immortal Execution Platform, would recall that distant night when he reveled in power as the wry-mouthed Dragon King at the Chen Family.
So, demonic behavior is not advisable; only ingenious maneuvers win hearts!
Next, I should find time to seek out the other two fallen Righteous Saintesses, using power to coerce them into negative distance contact with me.
Once the task is completed, I’ll be just two steps away from collecting the full Ten Demon Fingers set.
Ke ke ke!
The next morning.
Before dawn, Su Yuan donned a black outfit and walked out of his room, knocking on the girl’s door.
Chen Nuoyi had also put on dark casual wear early on, waiting by the door. The moment the knock sounded, the girl opened the door.
Without alerting Grandpa Chen, Housekeeper Zheng, and the others, the two quietly left the Chen Family residence.
On the way, they bought a bouquet of pure white chrysanthemums at a flower shop and headed to the cemetery.
As a local prominent family, the Chen Family’s cemetery is naturally private, with special Tomb Guardians tending to it.
Seeing it was their own young lady, the Tomb Guardian naturally didn’t obstruct them.
He personally led them to Chen Yalin’s tombstone, Chen Nuoyi’s mother, and then silently returned to his post.
Looking at the photo of the young, beautiful woman on the tombstone, Su Yuan felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
However, Chen Nuoyi’s mood didn’t seem particularly downcast; perhaps she had accepted her mother’s death, or maybe she had bottled up the sadness inside.
The two placed the flowers in front of the grave, carefully cleaned the already dust-free tombstone, and cleared some scattered weeds around the grave.
After finishing all this, Su Yuan prepared to step aside, giving the mother and daughter some time alone.
But just as he stood up, Chen Nuoyi grabbed his hand.
"Su Yuan, I brought you here today to introduce you to my mom, to let her know about you...would that be okay?"
Hearing the unease and tension in the girl’s voice, Su Yuan was first taken aback, then smiled warmly and said:
"Of course, it’s my honor."
Saying this, he knelt on one knee in front of the tombstone, side by side with the girl.
Chen Nuoyi took a deep breath and smiled at the gray-scale photo in front of her:
"Mom, this is Su Yuan, the most important person I’ve met in my life."
"Although his actions are a bit strange, his methods a bit wicked, he’s a bit scheming, and has a bit of vanity, he’s truly a very, very good person."
Su Yuan: "..."
Are you picking a fight? Is this praising me or criticizing me?
"... In short, under Su Yuan’s care, I’m doing very well now, not as lonely as before, so please rest easy where you are."
The girl chattered on and on.
As she continued, her eyes gradually misted over, and her voice quivered slightly.
Beside her, Su Yuan listened quietly, holding the girl’s slightly cool hand tightly.
He couldn’t help but wonder in his heart.
In this world where cultivators can change the world with their power, is there truly a miracle that can bring people back to life?
Given the attention Wu Luo True Monarch and Star River Celestial Monarch have on the Chen Family, if they had a way to resurrect, they certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.
So, the Divinity Transformation Realm cannot bring the dead back to life.
Even the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, who claims to preside over reincarnation, his resurrection might not be true resurrection, more like forcibly entering revival countdown when about to die completely, vastly different from real resurrection.
Then, could the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity achieve such a thing?
He can launch an Immortal Tribulation against all cultivation civilizations in the universe, wiping out billions, trillions of lives in one breath, but can’t resurrect a person?
Perhaps it is possible, but that guy is an enemy, and no one can persuade him to take action.
"So, if I take down the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity and gain power like his, could I then achieve the miracle of bringing people back to life?"
Su Yuan held onto such a thought in his heart, and for the first time, had a strong desire to realize it.
Previously, engaging with the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity was driven by the system and circumstances.
But now, Su Yuan finally had his own purpose to take down the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.
However, he couldn’t accomplish this on his own; he must find a way to unite all the forces he could.
The day after tomorrow, he could meet the two Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, and he must bring them to his side, making them his allies.
Su Yuan looked forward to the meeting the day after tomorrow with some anticipation.
Though he understood that facing Star River Celestial Monarch, he would most likely experience social death.
But that’s his determination after all!
Lost in thought, Chen Nuoyi also finished her conversation with her mother.
She took Su Yuan’s hand, stood up slowly, and smiled at the young man beside her:
"Thank you for staying with me until now."
Su Yuan came back to his senses, waved his hand with a smile, and said:
"I already said it’s my honor, when it’s your mother’s death anniversary, I’ll come with you again."
"Okay."
