Chapter 39: What Bad Intentions Could Senior Sister Have?  

Unexpectedly, this simple grab led to Ying Qingge turning the tables, interlocking their fingers tightly, leaving no gap.  

She was getting bolder by the minute.  

Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just behaved?  

Su Chen looked helplessly at his assertive senior sister, who maintained an utterly serious expression.  

Yes, indeed, very serious.  

After all, if she wasn’t serious, the contingency left by Wangqing Ge might activate, so Ying Qingge was constantly testing the limits of what would trigger it.  

Not long after, as if to divert Ying Qingge’s attention, Su Chen suddenly said,  

“Senior sister, my cultivation seems to have hit a bottleneck.”  

“Any good suggestions for breaking through?”  

“My little junior brother is already rushing to break through a realm so soon?”  

“Suggestions? Well, of course—”  

Ying Qingge’s beautiful eyes narrowed, her delicate finger tapping her lips, about to steer the conversation off track, when Su Chen quickly warned,  

“No nonsense answers—be serious!”  

“Oh…”  

“Let me think… Oh, right!”  

As if genuinely heeding her junior brother’s words, Ying Qingge’s eyes lit up after a moment’s thought.  

“There’s a place perfectly suited to your traits. Breaking through there will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.”  

“What place?” Su Chen asked suspiciously.  

Judging by his senior sister’s expression, it seemed she had genuinely thought of a place ideal for his breakthrough.  

Was she being this cooperative today?  

The next moment, Ying Qingge explained casually,  

“Dragon Burial Ridge.”  

“The royal family’s exclusive training ground. It’s the origin of Great Qin’s dragon vein, brimming with refined and pure dragon qi.”  

“For your physique, it’s perfect.”  

“Plus, there are some hybrid beasts tempered by dragon qi, which can significantly boost your strength.”  

With that, Ying Qingge looked at Su Chen expectantly, as if waiting for praise.  

If only her hands could behave a little better.  

Su Chen firmly restrained her wandering hand.  

“If that’s the case, I’ll go train at Dragon Burial Ridge.”  

The next morning, Su Chen woke early.  

More accurately, he was smothered awake.  

Waking up short of breath first thing in the morning?  

“Senior sister, how do you always manage to press yourself onto me?”  

Su Chen struggled to push away the heavy weight on him, sighing helplessly.  

But his gaze inadvertently landed on a certain someone’s prominent peaks.  

Look not at what is improper!  

He quickly shifted his eyes downward, only to be dazzled by a pair of long, fair legs.  

Danger was everywhere!  

He felt his resistance weakening by the day.  

If he got used to sleeping in his senior sister’s arms, would there be any saving him?  

Suddenly, Ying Qingge’s voice sounded by his ear,  

“What are you thinking about, little brother?”  

“Nothing, we should get going.”  

“What’s the rush? Let’s have breakfast first.”  

“Besides, entering Dragon Burial Ridge is quite a complicated process. You’d better prepare yourself, little brother.”  

And so, Su Chen had no choice but to enjoy a “loving” breakfast with his senior sister, where all he had to do was open his mouth.  

Along the way, Ying Qingge filled him in on Dragon Burial Ridge.  

She particularly emphasized that the hybrid beasts were extremely dangerous.  

With his current weak cultivation, even encountering the most ordinary hybrid beast would likely result in a narrow escape at best.  

But this was exactly what Su Chen wanted—great courage, wisdom, and transcendence lay in the balance between life and death!  

This was the perfect opportunity for his breakthrough!  

However,  

“With your senior sister here, why would you need to risk your life?”  

Ying Qingge smirked mischievously, secretly looking forward to her junior brother hiding in her arms, trembling and begging for comfort.  

Though that was purely wishful thinking.  

That day, inside Dragon Burial Ridge, the moment Su Chen entered, he could feel it.  

“So much dragon qi.”  

The dragon qi here was incredibly pure and dense, almost tangible in some areas.  

At the same time, Su Chen saw many strange-looking but extraordinarily powerful hybrid beasts in Dragon Burial Ridge.  

Since he was only on the outskirts, their cultivation was merely at the Foundation Building stage.  

Even so, they were a full realm above Su Chen.  

Coupled with their inherent ferocity, they were quite deadly.  

Yet, this was precisely what Su Chen needed.  

Through these perilous battles, he could forge his supreme path—the template of a true hot-blooded man!  

Unfortunately, he forgot how his cultivation worked.  

Moments later, under Su Chen’s numb gaze, the system’s faint sigh echoed in his ears,  

“Oh, foolish host, why won’t you accept the reality of living off others?”  

At that moment, before Su Chen could engage in battle, his senior sister, Ying Qingge, took it upon herself to “solve his problems.”  

She steamrolled through, crushing everything with sheer presence.  

In the end, any hybrid beast that could’ve fought Su Chen was either crippled to a fraction of its strength or reduced to utter trash, incapable of providing any life-or-death training.  

Not a single hybrid beast could put up a fight!  

Finally, Su Chen could bear it no longer and reminded her,  

“Senior sister, if this continues, I won’t get any training out of this.”  

Most of the stronger hybrid beasts around had been casually killed by his senior sister.  

Some even stronger ones didn’t even get a chance to appear before she obliterated them.  

If this went on, what kind of training was he supposed to do?  

“Ugh!”  

After Su Chen’s protest, Ying Qingge feigned innocence.  

She just didn’t want her little brother to get hurt—what was wrong with that?  

Hmph!  

Despite her dissatisfaction, her eyes sparkled with mischief.  

“How about this? There are many ways to break through a realm.”  

“Fighting hybrid beasts here to seek a breakthrough is the lowest method.”  

“There’s a far superior way!”  

Hearing this, Su Chen looked puzzled.  

“Like what?”  

Ying Qingge replied matter-of-factly,  

“Soaking in a hot spring!”  

“Huh?!”  

Su Chen thought he’d heard the biggest joke ever.  

“Soaking in a hot spring?”  

I’m young, but don’t try to fool me!  

“Mhm.”  

Ying Qingge nodded confidently.  

The hot spring she mentioned wasn’t ordinary—it was a Dragon Pool Hot Spring, formed over decades from crystallized dragon qi.  

Still, Su Chen remained skeptical.  

“Senior sister, why does this sound unreliable…”  

“Little brother, this isn’t just any hot spring.”  

“The Dragon Pool Hot Spring is essentially the essence of dragon qi, formed over countless years.”  

“So soaking in it is the best way to cultivate!”  

Ying Qingge continued to persuade him, and she wasn’t wrong.  

These hot springs, formed from dragon qi, would be immensely beneficial to Su Chen.  

However, because the dragon qi was so pure and dense, ordinary methods couldn’t refine it.  

Even for Su Chen, he’d need some assistance.  

Namely, her help!
