Shen Xuan and the Huang Patriarch have reached an agreement.

These Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Bloods will be exchanged for one hundred Poison Talismans.

Among them, ten are of superior quality.

For this, Shen Xuan spent three months, making more than one hundred and fifty talismans, with over twenty of superior quality.

After delivering the Huang Family's order,

Shen Xuan kept fifty Poison Talismans for himself, ten of which are of superior quality.

This was the reward for his three months of hard work in talisman making.

Before Shen Xuan could find Zhao Chunsheng to handle the ordinary Poison Talismans,

the Zheng Family unexpectedly showed up at his door.

This time, it was Zheng Jinyi, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment from the Zheng Family.

Shen Xuan didn't let him in.

Standing at Shen Xuan's doorstep, Zheng Jinyi directly made his request.

"I heard that the [Silver Hook Snake Poison Talisman] is the exclusive talisman of Talisman Master Shen?"

"The [Silver Hook Snake Poison Talisman] is made by me."

Shen Xuan did not deny this.

Although he had never announced it publicly,

this matter was no secret within the circle.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jinyi said earnestly, "Our Zheng Family is willing to purchase the Poison Talismans from Talisman Master Shen at a high price."

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Sorry, I have very few Poison Talismans left, which are for self-defense. Most have been ordered and delivered to the Huang Family on Silver Hook Island."

Zheng Jinyi's face instantly turned ashen.

After a few moments of silence,

Zheng Jinyi forced back his anger and said, "I wonder if Talisman Master Shen could make some Poison Talismans for our Zheng Family?"

"The Silver Hook Sea Serpent Essence Blood for talisman making will be prepared by our Zheng Family."

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm tired and need to rest for a while. I'm not taking any talisman making orders at the moment."

At this point, Zheng Jinyi could tell that Shen Xuan had no intention of cooperating with the Zheng Family at all.

"Talisman Master Shen, have you thought this through? Have you considered the consequences of conducting yourself this way?"

Shen Xuan remained calm.

"Zheng Daoist, are you threatening me?"

"It can't be considered a threat, just a reminder."

Zheng Jinyi chuckled lightly, "I've heard Talisman Master Shen's wife is just an ordinary person."

"Thank you for the reminder. I have other matters to attend to, so please leave, Zheng Daoist!"

Shen Xuan directly closed the door.

He had no patience for such an idiot.

From the very beginning, the Zheng Family harbored ill intentions towards him.

Given the current situation, there was no way Shen Xuan could trust them.

Three in the family achieved Foundation Establishment!

So what!

Now they even dared to threaten him with his wife!

This touched Shen Xuan's bottom line!

"Stay calm! Shen Xuan, don't get agitated!"

In Shen Xuan's view, Zheng Jinyi already had a death wish.

"First, increase strength and strive for Qi Cultivation Perfection!"

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

Once the time was ripe, he planned to demote the Zheng Family on Mingyang Island from a Foundation Establishment Clan to a Qi Cultivation Clan!

...

Logically speaking, the Zheng Family wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Yunyuan Immortal City.

To prevent issues with the Zheng Family, Shen Xuan still instructed Ding Yuyao to stay at home for the time being and not to go out.

That day, Shen Xuan returned home with Zhu Yingying after training.

A familiar graceful figure stood at the door.

Her white clothes were as pure as snow, with an Immortal Skirt fluttering, noble and cold.

It was the Cyan Cloud Sect's Foundation Establishment Elder, Qin Yuehan.

However, Qin Yuehan's expression was quite unusual.

With eyes full of spring, and a shy face, as if seeing a lover, she exclaimed "Shen Lang" and was about to throw herself into Shen Xuan's arms.

A fragrant breeze approached.

Qin Yuehan's voice carried a hint of charm, her watery eyes were filled with joy, her ice-cold skin and jade-like bones, fragrant teeth and tongue, filled Shen Xuan's mind with some alluring images, indulging in fantasies!

Shen Xuan almost instinctively wanted to reach out and embrace her.

At this point, his heart skipped a beat.

It was his [Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil] Talent issuing a strong warning.

Shen Xuan suddenly awoke.

"Which senior is playing this kind of joke on me!"

In the [Insight Technique], the female cultivator impersonating Qin Yuehan, her aura was the strongest Shen Xuan had ever encountered!

The illusion before him abruptly disappeared.

The person revealed her true form, a female cultivator dressed in a palace outfit, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

Shen Xuan immediately noticed the faintly discernible Hehuan Treasure Seal on the female cultivator's forehead.

"Hehuan Sect Saintess!"

"Hiss!"

Shen Xuan gasped.

Such a person, Shen Xuan definitely did not want to offend!

"Oh, you have insight! Talisman Master Shen lives up to his name, such fortitude!"

"Shen Xuan greets the senior!"

Shen Xuan quickly cupped his fists in salute.

Before he could make small talk,

a scream from Zhu Yingying echoed from behind.

"Mother!"

Immediately, Zhu Yingying dove into the Saintess's embrace.

Shen Xuan stood aside, feeling awkward.

The Saintess gently patted Zhu Yingying.

"Silly girl, didn't mother come!"

She turned her face, and said to Shen Xuan with displeasure, "Shen Talisman Master, aren't you going to take me inside!"

"Yes, yes. Please come in, senior!"

He opened the house's protective barrier.

After entering, Shen Xuan personally brewed Spirit Tea for the Saintess.

At this moment, his heart was hanging by a thread.

Zhu Qingsheng merely asked him to take care of his daughter Zhu Yingying.

He was never asked to take care of her so intimately.

Though it was Zhu Yingying who took the initiative.

But how young is Zhu Yingying!

A twenty-year-old girl doesn't understand things.

But an eighty-year-old man doesn't understand either?

If the Saintess really holds him accountable for this, it is hard to defend himself.

Regardless of explanation, it would seem like shirking responsibility.

Nowadays, Shen Xuan isn't a novice in the Cultivation Realm, having read many Cultivation Scriptures.

This Hehuan Sect Saintess, possessing the Golden Core True Inheritance, is a Core Formation Seed of the Hehuan Sect.

Very difficult to deal with.

Not to mention a Loose Cultivator.

Even among fellow sect members of Hehuan Sect, if she doesn't like them, she might take their lives.

Demon Sect is just that—a Demon Sect.

Emphasizing a free and unhindered mindset, doing as one pleases.

Shen Xuan believes he has treated Zhu Yingying fairly.

Aside from being a bit intense in training, he has provided Zhu Yingying with much in terms of clothing, food, housing, travel, and talisman cultivation.

Moreover.

Zhu Yingying couldn't control herself when her Charm Technique acted up.

If he hadn't helped resolve it, she might have succumbed to Qi deviation!

Besides, he had also saved Zhu Yingying's life.

"The Saintess has a grudge against me and used a Charm Technique to probe me. Hopefully, for Zhu Yingying's sake, she won't cause me trouble!"

Shen Xuan thought silently.

With a smiling face, he respectfully addressed her as "senior.".

The Saintess waved her hand: "Shen Talisman Master, please head outside. I need to speak with Yingying."

"Yes. I'll be right outside; you can summon me anytime, senior."

...

About an hour later.

Zhu Yingying walked out from the reception room with a worried expression.

By now, she was twenty-six years old.

She had lived with Shen Xuan for eight years.

Nurtured by Shen Xuan's essence, Zhu Yingying's delicate face was radiant, and her skin was flawless.

"Brother-in-law, will you come with us to Hehuan Sect?"

Hope gleamed in Zhu Yingying's eyes.

"I'll first discuss it with your mother."

Shen Xuan walked straight into the reception room.

Watching the familiar silhouette depart.

Zhu Yingying realized something, biting her lip, her face saddened.

She was reluctant to leave this brother-in-law.

Apart from her parents, Shen Xuan was her closest person.

Shen Xuan didn't turn back, entering gracefully and closing the door.

The Saintess established a barrier; Zhu Yingying couldn't hear their conversation.

During this, Zhu Yingying repeatedly extended her agile tongue, lightly licking her lips, her eyes filled with hope and a hint of worry.

Time passed slowly.

After the burning of an incense stick.

The Saintess and Shen Xuan emerged one after the other.

"Yingying, let's go."

The Saintess smiled and held Zhu Yingying's hand, leading her away.

Zhu Yingying froze for a moment.

Her pretty face suddenly turned pale as paper.

"Mother, wait a moment, let me speak to him!"

"Ten seconds!"

Zhu Yingying ran over quickly, suddenly diving into Shen Xuan's arms.

"Darn old man, you're so bad!"

After all, she was still young.

Zhu Yingying hadn't learned to control her emotions yet.

Tears sprung from her eyes.

Shen Xuan did not speak.

He just gently patted her fragrant shoulder.

Finally, Zhu Yingying made a decision.

She grabbed Shen Xuan's arm and fiercely bit him.

This time, Shen Xuan didn't use his power.

Allowing her to bite until a mark of blood appeared.

"Shen Xuan, I'll come back for you!"
