Chapter 459 - 229: A Woman’s Intuition
At this moment, facing the question from Xiaoxue, Chu Xuan simply shook his head and said, "We’ll talk about the future in the future. As it stands now, even if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up."
Chu Xuan couldn’t believe that the elders of the Heavenly Court would remain indifferent. They should have already made some plans, and Jiang Yiyi descending to the mortal world is likely part of their plans...
As for what’s next, Chu Xuan plans to continue secluded cultivation, initially taking advantage of the Ancient Battlefield’s geographical benefits to advance to the fifth realm in one go.
Then, he needs to find someone...
"Qingqing, I might need to continue in seclusion for about ten more years. Are you sure you want to accompany me?"
Qingqing nodded without hesitation, "I do!"
To her, even if she can’t interact closely with Chu Xuan, just being beside him and looking at his face is happiness.
Chu Xuan lovingly caressed her face, "Before continuing the seclusion, I’ll spend two days with you first."
Qingqing immediately showed an extremely delighted expression, nodding repeatedly.
Ji Mingyu watched this scene from not far away, biting her sleeve tightly, feeling jealousy, jealousy, jealousy! Jealousy to the point of almost going crazy; this is clearly the place where I should be.
She bit her own sleeve to restrain herself from making a sound. Her gaze towards Chu Xuan was filled with resentment, and her look towards Qingqing was laden with envy, jealousy, hatred. She regretted being so nice to her last time!
Just then, the little snow ferret jumped into Chu Xuan’s arms, affectionately snuggling, needless to say, Ming Yu had "signed on".
This made Qingqing’s eyes narrow slightly, appearing not very pleased. She remembered that this snow ferret could transform into human form.
Chu Xuan chuckled lightly, stroking its head, "Why are you suddenly so clingy?"
Inside, Xiaoxue wanted to retort: Do you think I want to be?
Ji Mingyu tried her best not to speak, lest she reveal a flaw.
Chu Xuan held Xiaoxue, gently scratching under its chin, and proactively headed outside, "Let’s go."
Qingqing quickly came up and grabbed his hand, asserting her position as the "main wife", though she thought being jealous over a pet was silly; only women like Primordial Monarch Taixu would do such a thing.
However, for some reason, Xiaoxue’s sudden behavior just now made her feel it was somewhat deliberate...
...
The Beauty always helped Chu Xuan keep watch at Broken Sword Mountain, lest one day he be surrounded and remain unaware.
After coming out this time, Chu Xuan didn’t go elsewhere to roam, but only sat with Qingqing side-by-side on the cliff edge, watching the sunrise, the moon, counting stars, chatting about future dreams, as if they had endless things to say.
In the silence of the deep night, Qingqing was visibly eager, continually signaling Chu Xuan with her eyes.
Chu Xuan shared a knowing smile, while Ji Mingyu became alert, ready to deploy Xiaoxue to interfere at any time.
But Chu Xuan instructed Xiaoxue, "Be good, go play by yourself for a while."
Xiaoxue quickly refused, "I don’t want to play, let me stay with you, it’s fine, I promise I’ll behave."
"Really?"
Xiaoxue nodded forcefully.
So Chu Xuan stood up, taking out a quaint canopy bed from his storage belt, with the quilt and pillows neatly arranged on it.
This was something he had specially prepared considering the inconvenience of resting outdoors if he left the sect in the future. It was rarely used, but now it was just right.
As soon as Qingqing saw this bed, her face blushed. The last time during their stopover in North Territory, they spent it on this bed...
At the same time, she increasingly felt that the nearby Xiaoxue and the floating head in the sky were quite obstructive.
Completely oblivious to this, Chu Xuan simply took Qingqing’s hand, leading her to the bed, while a dark night cloak suddenly appeared behind him.
Chu Xuan grabbed the cloak with his right hand and gently covered, causing the canopy bed and the two of them to vanish into the night.
This left "possessed" Xiaoxue, preparing to stealthily follow, Ji Mingyu dumbfounded.
Right! How could she forget that this cloak not only has strong concealment abilities, but can even open up a stable space in the outer void...
Which means now Chu Xuan and they aren’t just obscured in appearance, they’ve truly disappeared from this world, hidden in the void.
With Ji Mingyu’s strength, provided Chu Xuan hasn’t reached the seventh realm fully exerting the artifact’s power, she can still faintly see their figures, hear some voices.
But relying solely on Xiaoxue itself, it absolutely lacks the ability to interfere.
This left Ji Mingyu confused and distressed, what to do? Forcefully interfering would surely alert Chu Xuan to her presence.
If that happened, would even the opportunity to stay beside him through Xiaoxue be completely lost?
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Mingyu didn’t act, feeling a bit sour inside but comforting herself that: it wasn’t the first time, just endure it.
Despite saying so, she still secretly wiped her tears in the night...
Suddenly! Chu Xuan unexpectedly emerged from the void, startling Xiaoxue who was confused and Ji Mingyu jumping in fright, quickly hiding to avoid being discovered.
You saw Chu Xuan picking up Xiaoxue, patting its head, saying, "Let’s get you settled for sleep first, then I’ll go rest."
Xiaoxue was speechless, feeling as though it had become the "child" in a family of three, with the couple considering its feelings before doing serious things.
At this moment, Qingqing, who had even taken off clothes halfway, sat on the bed angrily, hugging the quilt, watching Chu Xuan carry Xiaoxue down the mountain.
