Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 449 - 226: Revealing One’s Feelings

Two fragrant scents, one from the left and one from the right, wafted over.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang both leaned in close to Chen Cheng, looking ready to hang on his every word.

The two sisters' beautiful eyes glittered. Their exquisite, jade-like faces were faintly flushed, filled with anticipation and excitement, yet also tinged with a hint of shyness.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the mountain forest was deep and quiet, the campfire casting a red glow.

The roasting meat sizzled as fat dripped from it, and the dry branches in the fire crackled and popped from time to time.

The members of the Demon-slaying Team would also occasionally whisper among themselves.

However, most people's gazes would unconsciously drift toward Chen Cheng and the two sisters from the Shen Family.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were, after all, unmarried young maidens. How could they not be shy, being so intimate with Chen Cheng at such a close distance?

It wouldn't have mattered with the others, who were a considerable distance away from the trio.

But Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu were not far from Chen Cheng and the sisters.

They were both Perfect Martial Artists of the Bone Forger Realm with keen Perception. Although they deliberately averted their gazes from the trio and made idle small talk, Chen Cheng noticed that the two of them had their ears pricked up the entire time.

He figured that every single word of his conversation with Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang was falling into their ears!

This was especially true when Chen Cheng had Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang lean in so he could teach them the Concealment Secret Skill.

Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu stopped talking. Seemingly to avoid suspicion, they subconsciously turned their bodies away, but their ears were pricked up even higher!!

'They were so obviously eavesdropping, yet they were pretending not to. It was a classic case of plugging one's ears while stealing a bell—a dead giveaway!'

Of course, they couldn't be blamed. As Martial Artists, who didn't want to grow stronger?

During the day, they had witnessed Chen Cheng use the Concealment Secret Skill to move like the wind among countless Demon Beasts, slaughtering them at will.

Naturally, Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu's hearts were filled with the utmost longing and yearning for the Concealment Secret Skill.

Even if Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang hadn't asked, the two men had already made up their minds to cautiously ask Chen Cheng about it later to see if they could learn this Secret Technique.

If they could manage to eavesdrop now, it would save them a lot of trouble.

"The walls have ears. Senior Sisters, please follow me!"

Chen Cheng suddenly shot a glance at Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu, then stood up and walked toward the nearby forest.

Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu didn't notice Chen Cheng's glance, but when they heard the four words, "The walls have ears," they both flushed beet red in an instant!

"Brother Luo, this Iron Armor Beast meat is really quite good," Shen Zhiheng said with a forced laugh, picking up a piece of roasted Demon Beast Meat. He took a huge bite, chewing with a loud crunching sound!

Luo Mingyu also grabbed a piece of roasted Demon Beast Meat and, putting on a thoughtful expression, said:

"Indeed. The Iron Armor Beast's hide armor is as tough as metal, but its meat is incredibly tender. It's really quite strange!"

With that, he also took a savage bite of the Demon Beast Meat, praising it endlessly as he ate.

"Delicious!"

"Mmm, it's fragrant and crispy!"

When they saw Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang follow Chen Cheng and disappear into the distant forest, Shen Zhiheng and Luo Mingyu glanced at each other with bitter smiles. Then, simultaneously, they placed the Demon Beast Meat in their hands back on the campfire to continue cooking.

The Demon Beast Meat was indeed tender, but it was clearly barely cooked and still smelled of blood. It would have been a miracle if it tasted good!

...

Once they were deep in the forest, far from the others, Chen Cheng confirmed no one could eavesdrop before he began to speak:

"Senior Sisters, this Concealment Secret Skill… I obtained it from Lord Shen, Shen Zhiming. It is a legacy of Vast Peak from the Great Dao Sect.

You two must have seen the Secret Manual for this technique before, correct?"

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

Chen Cheng continued, "Although this Concealment Secret Skill is a legacy of Vast Peak, I was only able to reach the Beginner Level of its Cultivation through my own insights.

As the saying goes, 'Techniques are not taught lightly, and secrets are not revealed to outsiders.' I cannot simply teach my insights to just anyone.

Only those who are my nearest and dearest can learn it. If you two Senior Sisters wish to practice its Cultivation, you must become so as well."

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang both froze.

They were both exceptionally intelligent; how could they not understand the meaning behind Chen Cheng's words?

'His nearest and dearest... Doesn't that mean becoming one of the Chens?'

As of now, the only person who was Chen Cheng's nearest and dearest was Mu Xiaowan.

If Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang wanted to become Chen Cheng's nearest and dearest, they would naturally have to marry him!

"Why don't you two Senior Sisters consider whether you want to cultivate this Secret Technique? Once you've decided, you can come find me."

After speaking, Chen Cheng made a few leaps, covering several dozen feet in an instant. He then flew up into a large tree and stood tall on a branch.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang stared at each other, wide-eyed. After a long moment, Shen Qingyao suddenly said:

"Shen Qingshuang, I'm the older sister. You have to let me have this chance."

Without waiting for Shen Qingshuang's reply, she flashed forward, darting quickly toward Chen Cheng.

Shen Qingshuang watched her sister's retreating figure, her own face expressionless. After a long moment, she finally murmured, "Shen Qingyao, you think you're so clever, but you don't understand Chen Cheng nearly as well as I do!"

...

Shen Qingyao flew to Chen Cheng's side, but suddenly, his figure flashed, and a pair of large hands wrapped around her soft, slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

When had Shen Qingyao ever been so close to a man? Feeling Chen Cheng's hot, masculine aura, her heart was thrown into turmoil. She subconsciously tried to push him away, but he only held her tighter.

"Junior Brother Chen, what are you trying to do?" Shen Qingyao asked in a low, trembling voice, her heart growing ever more frantic.

"Senior Sister Qingyao, I am, of course, going to teach you the Concealment Secret Skill."

Feeling Shen Qingyao's warm, soft body trembling slightly, Chen Cheng chuckled, his large hands growing ever bolder.
