Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 496 - 16: Reunion with Qing Ji

"Cyan Lantern! Phone call!" Su Ziyu felt something odd as he called out.

Quickly.

Cyan Lantern floated down from the second floor wearing a light blue yukata. With a gentle wave of her hand, the phone floated to her ear. While drying her wet hair with a towel, she said to Su Ziyu, "Lord Su, I go by Cyan Keiko now."

"Hello?" Cyan Lantern floated directly onto the sofa, finding a comfortable position to lie down.

Once the call connected.

A slightly anxious soft female voice came through: "Lady Cyan Lantern, something’s wrong."

"Older sister found the manga I hid under the bed."

"She’s on her way to find you."

Cyan Lantern, who was smiling at first, had her expression change as she listened, as if remembering something. She smirked and said, "When did she leave?"

"Not long ago." The voice of Ichiji came from the phone: "Older sister flies fast."

"I estimate she’s almost there."

Cyan Lantern’s expression turned a bit uneasy after hearing this. She hung up the phone after responding perfunctorily and turned to Su Ziyu with a pitiful expression, her voice tinged with a sob, "Lord Su!..."

"It’s bad!... Your wife is coming!..."

Now it’s bad.

Neither of them could escape.

"Did you give Ichiji those drawings of yours?" Su Ziyu asked with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Yes." Cyan Lantern nodded weakly, "She’s my fan."

Su Ziyu wasn’t particularly familiar with Qing Ji’s six sisters; he only knew Ichiji liked reading books and loved mimicking Qing Ji, Sanji liked playing with fire and once burned the house, Goji had severe violent tendencies, the most worrying, while Rokuji was the most carefree, eating anything.

The rest were unclear, as Su Ziyu hadn’t stayed long the last time.

"Qing Ji’s almost here?" Su Ziyu took a deep breath.

"Yes." Cyan Lantern looked out the window hesitantly, "Lord Su, maybe we should run?"

Weren’t you so proud at first?

When Qing Ji actually came looking, she got scared so quickly.

"No." Su Ziyu shook his head.

Cyan Lantern grew anxious, whispering, "When Qing Ji gets angry, no one can stop her."

"She could really burn up this refined body of mine!..."

Su Ziyu suddenly closed his eyes, then sighed, "There’s no time to run. She’s already nearby."

The place isn’t that big in Fusang.

With Qing Ji’s power, it only takes flying over for a tea’s time. Su Ziyu already sensed a powerful presence approaching.

Not long after he finished speaking.

"Cyan Lantern!!!"

A cold snort came suddenly from outside the house, followed by an icy, angry female voice: "Are you coming out yourself? Or should I drag you out?"

Wisps of flame appeared outside the window.

Cyan Lantern shivered involuntarily, glanced at Su Ziyu, and suddenly whispered, "Lord Su! I’m sorry! This time I owe you one!"

Saying that, she flew out directly, floating mid-air towards the door, pleasingly addressing the woman in white: "Qing Ji!"

"Wait!"

"Don’t act first! Look who I found?!"

Outside Cyan Residence.

A beautiful woman holding a white paper umbrella floated mid-air like an ethereal fairy. Her features were extremely beautiful and captivating, with a graceful air reminiscent of an Eastern noblewoman. Her long hair was fashioned into a high bun with jade ornaments, and her pure white dress embroidered with strange cloud patterns gave her an otherworldly presence like an immortal.

She looked icily at Cyan Lantern, her expression carrying a hint of killing intent.

When Qing Ji isn’t mad, she’s extremely gentle, with a demeanor akin to a Yamato Nadeshiko, but if she does get angry, it’s terrifying. Just ask Su Ziyu, who had been burned to death more than ten times in the dream realm.

At her appearance, both Su Ziyu and Cyan Lantern couldn’t help but tremble.

At this point, Cyan Lantern very decisively sold out Su Ziyu, pointing into the room with a shameful pettiness, pitifully saying, "Lady Qing Ji!"

"Look."

"I found your husband!..."

Oh well.

Hehe, women.

With a bitter smile on his lips, Su Ziyu slowly walked out of the house.

He tried to make his smile more genuine, showing Qing Ji a smile from mid-air, his voice gentle, "Qing Ji. I’m back!..."

"Oh no!..."

"Don’t burn me!... Let’s talk things over calmly!..."

Upon seeing Su Ziyu, Qing Ji’s expression was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly filled with a watery mist, looking tearfully pitiful, enough to make anyone want to tear apart the guy who made such a beauty so heartbroken. However, with Qing Ji’s nature, she never needed others to act for her; wraiths of ghostly blue flame appeared beside her, the erratic Fire of the Seven Emotions seeming likely to burn down the entire Cyan Residence.

Cyan Lantern had already shrunk into a corner, not daring to speak, pretending she didn’t exist. Even if the house burned, it was fine, as long as she kept her life.

At the brink of life and death.

Su Ziyu’s spirit was intensely focused, his mind whirring quickly, seeing something was off, he decisively reorganized his words and said, "Wife!"

"I came back to see you!..."

The drifting wisps of the Fire of the Seven Emotions at the forefront gradually dissipated.

Qing Ji, ethereal in her snow-like white attire, landed slowly. She stared blankly at Su Ziyu before speaking.

"Husband."

"You made me wait so long!..."

A warm, soft body flew into his arms, a faint fragrance lingering at his nose. Su Ziyu was hit full-on and didn’t have time to savor it. With his life narrowly saved, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and then turned to glare fiercely at Cyan Lantern nearby.

"Is that all?..." In the corner, Cyan Lantern pouted with dissatisfaction, seemingly upset about missing out on a good show.

After fitting herself snugly in his arms, Qing Ji blushed slightly and stepped back a little. She raised her face to scrutinize Su Ziyu, then looked at Cyan Lantern, hesitantly asking, "Husband? Why are you here?"

Very decisively.

Su Ziyu took out that manga from the other dimension storage space, raising it before Qing Ji, naturally exposing the revealing Snake Princess cover, and righteously declared, "I just returned to this world by chance today."

"Couldn’t believe I saw this upon returning."

"As Qing Ji’s husband, how could I tolerate it? Of course, I came to ask for an explanation!"

Righteous and formidable.

Not lying at all.

Life matters most.

This was Cyan Lantern’s own doing.

Qing Ji glanced over the explicit cover with her cheeks flushed first, then her brows furrowed, her face ice-cold and full of killing intent.

She slowly turned around, with the Fire of the Seven Emotions manifesting, complemented by the sharp Sword Qi from the white paper umbrella, Qing Ji solemnly declared, "Cyan! Lantern!..."

Seeing things going south, Cyan Lantern, who was just about to sneak away, froze and turned her head with an ingratiating smile, "This is a misunderstanding!..."

"Wait!... Don’t!..."

"Ah!..."

A series of crackling noises ensued.

Su Ziyu quietly exhaled a relief, deciding it was better not to disturb Cyan Lantern getting beaten at this moment.
