Su Chen didn't really care what the Hua Family thought. He hadn't even dealt with Hua Qingyang, the one causing trouble and even wanting to kill him, so he considered himself quite magnanimous!

If Hua Qingyang or the Hua Family still couldn't recognize what was good for them, then he could only express his apologies!

Honestly, Su Chen wasn't that concerned about the matters of the Ancient Martial World anymore, nor did he regard entities like the Hua Family or the Tianyin Palace as significant!

...

After finishing cultivation that day, Su Chen couldn't help but think of Zhou Ying!

To be precise, it was Zhou Ying that reminded him of the Ruin Realm!

By a stroke of luck, he met Zhou Ying, and Su Chen finally gained a rough understanding of the Ruin Realm, no longer stumbling in the dark like before!

He took out the pitch-black, mottled token from the Cangyue Ring once more and looked at it. This time, it naturally felt different!

He was definitely going to the Ruin Realm, whether out of curiosity or for other reasons!

But he felt that it wasn't the right time yet because it was not difficult to tell from Zhou Ying's words that the Ruin Realm was filled with strong experts!

The experts there were not as simple as those in the Condensation Pill Realm, so he still felt uneasy!

He planned at least to wait until he broke through the Condensation Pill Realm before heading to the Ruin Realm, as he would feel more assured then!

He was currently in the Kaiyuan Late Stage and believed that if he devoted his main energy and time to the Nine Yang Divine Technique, it wouldn't take too long!

He did have that confidence, but this didn't mean he would neglect other matters; they just weren't his focus for the time being!

After thinking for a while, he set aside these thoughts and changed into swimming trunks, then left the room!

He was ready to relax in the hot springs for a bit, having not soaked since returning, and that feeling felt a bit overdue!

When he walked out, he found three women soaking in the hot spring pool!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, like a hunter spotting his prey!

Because he noticed that besides Qi Meng and Du Hanbing, the other one was actually Pei Man!

To be honest, it was his first time seeing Pei Man in a swimsuit soaking in a hot spring!

At this moment, Pei Man was wearing a two-piece shoulder-strap swimsuit that fully showcased her fair and perfect figure!

Su Chen hadn't expected her to be not only stunning in appearance but also flawless in figure!

Su Chen looked on, almost unable to take his eyes off!

Of course, the other women's figures weren't bad either; he just had a slightly different reaction seeing Pei Man in a swimsuit for the first time!

Although Pei Man had an unordinary mind, she remained composed when Su Chen first "forcefully kissed" her!

But standing before Su Chen looking so seductive did make her feel a bit shy, dictated by feminine nature!

After all, Pei Man was still a woman!

Regarding the previous "forceful kiss" by Su Chen, she may not have been entirely calm, just not showing it!

During the time before Su Chen went to the Dark Forest, neither she nor Tang Yun had soaked in the hot springs!

But after Su Chen left for the Dark Forest, she and Tang Yun were coaxed by other women to soak a few times!

Faced with other women, naturally, there was no pressure or hesitation!

Now, both she and Tang Yun quite liked this method of relaxation!

During the days since Su Chen returned, she had soaked once or twice, but Su Chen had been in his room and hadn't seen it!

At this moment, the women noticed Su Chen's arrival and naturally his gaze fixated on Pei Man as if glued there!

"Pei Man, watch out, the wolf is here!"

"Yes, and it's a lecherous big bad wolf!"

Qi Meng and Du Hanbing quipped teasingly with sly smiles!

Pei Man was also a bit embarrassed under Su Chen's gaze, mainly because his eyes were too aggressive, causing her heart to shiver!

"Come on now, am I that type of person?"

Su Chen walked over, expressing his "displeasure" while speaking.

The three women immediately burst into laughter!

Du Hanbing and Qi Meng couldn't help but think:

How shameless, this guy, and still making such statements!

If he wasn't such a person, who else could be in this world?

Doesn't this guy remember his own ridiculous antics?

Leaving aside the women, even Pei Man was fully aware of these antics; during their time pretending to be a couple, didn't this guy take enough liberties?

Moreover, after moving into the villa, hearing the women chat had enlightened her on many things!

Su Chen had already come down and, despite his earlier proclamation, had naturally wrapped his arms around Qi Meng and Du Hanbing's slender waists!

...

Time passed unknowingly by an hour or two, and naturally, during this period, several women faced varying degrees of "harassment" from Su Chen, Pei Man included, ultimately leaving with flushed faces...

Su Chen was contentedly soaking, thoroughly enjoying himself!

The women, upon leaving, shot him a glare seeing his demeanor, while Su Chen pretended not to notice!

After a bit more soaking, he stopped, went back to his room to dress, then drove to the Belle Group!

It had been a few days since he returned, and he hadn't yet visited!

After twenty to thirty minutes, he arrived at the Belle Group, and upon entering, the young ladies at the front desk immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Minister Su!"

Su Chen, of course, also greeted them warmly!

"Minister Su, it's been a long time since you last visited!"

Little Juan said with a smile.

"Yeah, we've missed you quite a bit!"

Another girl, Xiao Jing, chimed in jokingly.

"I've missed you all too!"

Su Chen replied with a smile.

"We don't believe you!"

Little Juan teased with a pout.

Of course, they were quite familiar with him, and Su Chen was approachable, so they joked around casually!

After chatting for a few minutes, Su Chen took the elevator upstairs.

He naturally went to his office first. It had been a while since he was there, but stepping in felt comfortably familiar!

Though he didn't visit often, someone always cleaned regularly, so it still looked tidy!

Unlike other executives, his office didn't have anything particularly important!

Just like old times, he casually brewed a cup of tea and picked up the latest issues of Men's Health magazine to slowly peruse...
