I Only Marry Widows

The room where Du Mengyan lived was also newly built, with not much decoration inside or out, just considered simple and plain.

When Lu Chengfeng entered the room, he smelled a fragrance and, after a quick look, discovered an incense burner on the desk with a stick of calming incense inserted, the faint aroma permeating the room.

Besides that, the bed had gauze curtains, and a bookshelf was placed in the room, holding many ancient books that had yellowed with age, and there was a weapons rack specially displaying the Profound Sun Ancient Sword.

Although the furnishings were simple, they were arranged meticulously.

Du Mengyan sat cross-legged on the bed, shielded by the gauze, revealing only a hazy silhouette that was difficult to see clearly.

"What brings you here abruptly, spewing all that sweet talk? Hmph, tell me, what do you want?"

Lu Chengfeng chuckled awkwardly a couple of times. He and Du Mengyan had not interacted much before; usually, he had no reason to call except after their duel, which left some ambiguous feelings between them, but that was all.

He thought all the way here and realized he couldn't possibly use flowery words to deceive Du Mengyan into giving him the Sect's divine skill secret manual; she wasn't that foolish.

After a slight pause, Lu Chengfeng spoke, "Senior sister, are you aware of the matter of the Immortal Bone?"

Du Mengyan's pupils contracted; this was her most fundamental secret, known only to the Profound Sun Taoist. Everyone thought she improved rapidly because she obtained the Wood Element Treasure Cyan Sky Marrow Spirit Liquid.

Before she could speak, Lu Chengfeng continued, "Senior sister need not doubt; I mentioned this because I also possess an Immortal Bone."

Du Mengyan finally showed a look of surprise, pulling aside the gauze and stepping down from the bed.

She was still clad in a plain white gauze dress, but today she had a red silk belt tied at the waist, accentuating her graceful figure.

"You have an Immortal Bone?"

No wonder Du Mengyan was so surprised; the words Immortal Bone seem simple, but in reality, it's a rare, peerless talent even among the Thirteen States of the World.

With an Immortal Bone, barring any unexpected circumstances, one would inevitably become a Celestial Human, showing just how fearsome such a person is.

In the vast Yuncang Sword Sect, among the 108 Outer Peaks and the five major Inner Peaks, she was the only one with an Immortal Bone.

Unless something unexpected occurred, as long as Du Mengyan could achieve the Half-Step Celestial Human, it would naturally lead to her assuming the role of Sect Leader or similar positions.

However, due to the incident with Xun Shuijing twenty years ago, the Sect concealed her Immortal Bone aptitude to prevent any unexpected complications.

"Without an Immortal Bone, how could I have cultivated the Zhao Family's Blazing Fire Spear to such a level in such a short time?" Lu Chengfeng straightforwardly said, "Apart from the Immortal Bone, I also acquired the Zhao Family's divine skill, the Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon."

Hearing this, Du Mengyan instead calmed down, "You came here abruptly, revealing the Immortal Bone and divine skill, probably because you need my help, right?"

Lu Chengfeng sighed, knowing he couldn't hide it, nor did he plan to. He straightforwardly said, "Senior sister, I did indeed come today to ask a favor."

After saying this, he bowed and said, "I wish to obtain the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual from you, senior sister, please grant this wish."

Du Mengyan didn't seem too surprised, "Given you have an Immortal Bone, it's normal to seek the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual."

"However, this divine skill is the Sect's fundamental legacy, and I cannot pass it on to you."

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng's heart stirred; she indeed possessed the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual?!

He took a deep breath, "Senior sister, I know the Sect's divine skill isn't easily shared, but this sword manual concerns my future cultivation, and I'm willing to pay any price for it."

"I'm willing to give the Zhao Family's Eight Desolates Divine Fire Dragon technique to the Sect, and if the Sect has other demands, I'm willing to bear all, just to read the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual."

Du Mengyan furrowed her brows slightly, "Junior brother, it's not that I'm unsympathetic, but the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword's inheritance is extremely precious and isn't recorded in words, it's passed down through Law Intent."

"I was fortunate enough to comprehend it once, but my current cultivation realm isn't sufficient to pass it on to others."

Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart, saying bitterly, "Is there truly no other way? I'm going to Crane Immortal Peak the day after tomorrow to duel with Li Chungen, and I'm likely to lose, with a seventy percent chance of dying on the spot."

"The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual will be my only hope."

Du Mengyan shook her head and said, "The time is too short, even if you obtain the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual, you can't cultivate it to a profound level in such a brief period."

"Instead, it's better to enhance your combat power through other means. I can lend you the Profound Sun Sword once more."

As she said this, her tone was a bit peculiar, feeling her waist heating up, she bit her lip, forcibly restraining her thoughts from recalling the scene when she last lent the Profound Sun Ancient Sword.

"With everyone watching, and the Celestial Patrol Department sending someone to observe the duel, if I use the Yuncang Sword Sect's Profound Sun Ancient Sword to fight Li Chungen, it would inevitably cause unnecessary complications, and might even throw this battle into disorder."
