After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 160 - Famous in the East
Chapter 160: Famous in the East
Wen Wanwan chuckled.
“Isn’t Fairy Xu Qing very beautiful?”
“She’s not even one-tenth as beautiful as Wanwan,” Jiang Huai said seriously.
Wen Wanwan laughed even more cheerfully.
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother just now seemed like he was fleeing from a flood or a fierce beast...”
“Shouldn’t Wanwan praise me?”
“Wanwan listens to Jiang Huai Senior Brother... as long as Jiang Huai Senior Brother likes it, Wanwan won’t be angry.” novelbuddy.cσ๓
“I don’t like it.”
“Then that’s even better.”
Wen Wanwan hugged his arm, her smile sly.
“Wanwan is laughing so happily,” Jiang Huai looked at her quietly.
“Because it feels very interesting, Jiang Huai Senior Brother just now seemed scared of her... When you were holding my hand and walking away, it was like escaping.”
Wen Wanwan’s eyes also sparkled with laughter, and Jiang Huai put on a stern face.
“That’s clearly me upholding my virtue, okay? Wanwan is laughing so happily... Tonight, I’ll have to consider whether to be gentle with Wanwan.”
Wen Wanwan’s eyes suddenly showed a scared and innocent look, like a frightened deer, hugging Jiang Huai’s arm, tiptoeing slightly, and whispering in Jiang Huai’s ear.
“No, no... first, Wanwan has to serve with lips and tongue, then, then with feet, otherwise... Wanwan will faint.”
“No, no, if you faint, I’ll just shake you awake and continue to tease you.”
“Please don’t...”
Wen Wanwan’s voice became so soft and tender, her pink tongue gently licked his ear, “Doesn’t Jiang Huai Senior Brother like Wanwan’s tongue anymore? Wanwan has practiced so hard... and, and, just last night you said you really liked how soft and fragrant Wanwan’s little feet are...”
Her deliberately pitiful look was excessively adorable. Jiang Huai turned around, picked up Wen Wanwan, and chuckled.
“Heh, then I’ll take care of you separately during the day and night.”
Wen Wanwan wrapped her arms around Jiang Huai’s neck, burying her small face in his chest, speaking with a wronged tone.
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother is bullying people again...”
But when he truly teased her, Wen Wanwan never dodged.
...
Lying in the cave contemplating life, Jiang Huai Jr. suddenly felt that perhaps his greatest gain in the Daoji Ancestral Land was indeed that Overlord Art.
Jiang Huai Jr. was no longer the weak-willed boy he used to be!
He had now reached the fifth level of the Overlord Art, with only the fourth level’s pill refining method left to master. The Overlord Art inheritance left by the Ba Huang himself had it all, but Jiang Huai was still hesitating whether to continue practicing it or not, because... it really hurt to do so.
He felt that the only reason he could persevere was his hatred for Mo Dan, wanting to flay and debone him, and it was this hatred that helped him endure. Normally, he was someone who couldn’t help but want to scream when lightly whipped by Chu Xianning.
The secret realm of the Daoji Ancestral Land had ended and was about to close completely. Wen Wanwan changed into a white Taoist robe, her black hair pinned up, exuding a cool and elegant aura. The robe covered her all the way to her ankles, beneath which she wore white embroidered shoes, revealing almost no skin. Only Jiang Huai knew that under her robe, her snowy legs were still clad in white silk tights, tightly wrapping her legs.
She and Jiang Huai sat on a green hill, taking one last look at the scenery of the Daoji Ancestral Land until it began to repel outsiders. Jiang Huai gently grabbed Wen Wanwan’s hand, and after a moment of distortion, they were both teleported out.
...
Outside the Daoji Ancestral Land.
Xu Qing looked at the couple standing on the grass in front of her, first stunned, then hurriedly ran to their side, gently calling out.
“Father, Mother, why have you come?”
“Your mother said she hasn’t been able to sleep these past few days, worrying about your safety, so she thought of coming with me to pick you up,” Xu Ting said helplessly with a smile, his eyes full of indulgence when he looked at his daughter.
After a moment, he turned to Xu Qing and suddenly brightened up, then laughed, “You’ve produced a five-patterned spirit pill?”
“Yes,” Xu Qing nodded lightly, her mother’s smile was gentle and warm.
“Truly my good daughter.”
But Xu Qing bit her lip, her face not showing much joy as she softly said.
“Mother... a lot happened in the Daoji Ancestral Land.”
“Oh? What happened?”
Xu Qing slowly began to recount everything that Mo Dan, the inheritor of the Refining Yin Demon Gu, had done in the Daoji Ancestral Land, as well as her own experiences.
The expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Xu changed from shock to calm, taking a long time to process. Even though one was an eighth realm cultivator and the other was at the peak of the seventh realm, there was a moment of fear in their eyes.
People of their generation had heard of the Refining Yin Demon Gu, such a heaven-defying object, and now it had reappeared... and had been slain by a cultivator at the first level of Qi training?!
The story seemed unbelievable, and Xu Qing’s mother couldn’t help but ask again. Xu Qing seriously sorted through everything in her head and told the story once more.
...
The person in question, Jiang Huai, had already taken Wen Wanwan by the hand and fled.
What he didn’t know was that at this moment, his deeds were being spread like miracles. Outside the Daoji Ancestral Land, Ziyun Pavilion, upon hearing the news, couldn’t help but gather around to understand everything clearly and publish it in the Ziyun Pavilion’s publications.
Nearly half of the cultivators who entered the Daoji Ancestral Land had perished, but among those who survived were many of noble status. When they heard from Xu Qing that Jiang Huai had risked his life to accept the inheritance and sacrificed his own lifespan to save everyone, many of the rescued young cultivators couldn’t help but tear up. They spontaneously pleaded with their family elders to find life-extending spiritual medicines to repay the life-saving grace.
Human hearts are made of flesh; they had witnessed Jiang Huai’s dazzling sword light rushing to save everyone, but they never thought that beneath that dazzling light, there was such a price to pay.
That was the Refining Yin Demon Gu, which had once caused even ninth realm Immortal Venerables great headaches. Now, it had been strangled in its cradle, a fortunate event for the entire Eastern Region. And all the costs were borne by a nineteen-year-old sword cultivator.
Once the news spread, it immediately proliferated. If previously, Tianxuan Sect’s Jiang Huai had been ridiculed by many cultivators for losing his cultivation to save a group of ordinary mortal children, this time... no one dared to show any contempt or ridicule, only immense admiration remained.
And from that day on, families and sects from the Aolai Continent, Linglong Continent, Rimian Continent of the Eastern Region began sending life-extending spiritual medicines to Tianxuan Sect’s Guangxue Mountain.
And the person in question, Jiang Huai Jr.... hadn’t returned home yet.
...
“Alright, done.”
Jiang Huai shook the blood off his spiritual sword and glanced back at Wen Wanwan, who had also finished dealing with everything.
Recently, two masked killers had appeared on the Linglong Continent, targeting the lairs of various evil cultivators. Most evil cultivators were not highly skilled, and those with high cultivation were burdened with countless murders and only wished to keep a low profile, fearing being casually slain by a seventh realm cultivator in a bad mood.
The lower-ranked evil cultivators on the Linglong Continent who had died couldn’t figure out what they had done recently to provoke these two masked killers.
Jiang Huai approached Wen Wanwan and saw the evil cultivator gasping under her sword. He swung a Primordial Life and Death Sword, easily adding another twenty years to his lifespan.
Every evil cultivator was a case of better safe than sorry. The gu insects they cultivated, even the least powerful, required the consumption of a human life to begin. These evil cultivators’ gu insects had all reached the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation realm, with nearly a hundred lives on their hands. Jiang Huai showed no mercy when he struck, having killed more than a dozen in the past few days, which was slightly nauseating.
“Alright, I’ve absorbed enough lifespan for two hundred years, let’s stop killing for now, my head is dizzy.”
Wen Wanwan obediently nodded, rose on her sword, and took Jiang Huai to a city. There seemed to be some kind of gathering in the city, especially lively. Jiang Huai held Wen Wanwan’s hand and strolled with her for a long time, taking it as a way to relax, as they had seen a lot of blood in the past few days.
Most of the time, it was Wen Wanwan who wielded the sword, with Jiang Huai protecting her from the side. It wasn’t because he was lazy, but because Wen Wanwan wanted to practice her swordsmanship and get used to the feeling of killing.
Having learned the swordsmanship of the Zilu True Person, Wen Wanwan’s eyes were cold as iron when she struck. Initially, Jiang Huai Jr. was even startled by the murderous aura she emitted, as she was usually too gentle around him.
Now, this decisive and ruthless demeanor was... incredibly cool.
Jiang Huai happily stayed by her side, protecting her as she fought against evil cultivators, watching her swordsmanship become more and more proficient in actual combat. He then happily finished off the evil cultivators to absorb their lifespan. In the evening, they would stroll in the bustling mortal city to relax.
He counted the days; tonight, they would use the spiritual boat to head to the outskirts of the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm. After about a day and a night, they would arrive just as the Immortal Spirit Secret Realm ended, giving Luo Qingyu a surprise.
...But he still had to come clean about what had happened between him and Wen Wanwan, which might not necessarily be a surprise for Luo Qingyu.
At this moment, Jiang Huai Jr.’s face showed a slight worry, but he quickly hid it. The spiritual boat was already floating above the sea of clouds, and the soft-bodied Wen Wanwan was snugly curled up in his arms. Wen Wanwan liked to say provocative things to Jiang Huai Jr. during the day, like how she would make Jiang Huai Senior Brother beg for mercy tonight... but every time, it ended up with Wen Wanwan softly pleading for mercy halfway through.
The girl in his arms slept sweetly, and as Jiang Huai looked down at her sleeping face, he felt a sense of calm. He leaned down to kiss her gently and then closed his eyes.
...
Tianxuan Sect, Guangxue Mountain.
Chu Xianning looked puzzled at the spiritual medicines that had arrived today, all sent by well-known families from various continents.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
...What were these spiritual medicines for?
