The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1151 - 614: Reunion

Seeing her almond-shaped eyes open wide, her mild annoyance and slight anger were all written in them, his heart tickled, yet he still spoke in a composed manner: "I have missed you for a long time, recover quickly!"

This was his usual commanding tone.

#####

Indeed, she was very strong-willed, by the third evening she was able to speak.

The first word she uttered was: "Water." Her voice was slightly hoarse from not speaking in a long time. The maid standing by her side was slightly startled, thinking she heard wrongly, until she repeated it again, which made the maid delightedly rush to pour water.

As a result, two quarters later, Changtian arrived.

He said with a smile: "Say two words, let me hear." Yet a flash of regret passed through his eyes.

For the past two days, she could not even voice opposition, she could only rely on her expressive eyes to rebuke him, truly too... interesting. Her emotions were so transparently written in her eyes, she couldn’t hide them at all, one wondered how those enemies she defeated would have fallen at her hands? Besides, now her throat and facial muscles had returned to normal, indicating she regained her ability to swallow and eat, given her thin skin, being fed medicine mouth to mouth by him was surely something she wouldn’t agree to even at death.

Ning Xiaoxian was choked with anger because of this. This was the tone used to tease cats and dogs, even though the hint of disappointment in his eyes vanished instantly, she perceptively caught it. This man who appeared icy on the outside but was cunning inside, definitely disliked that she recovered too fast, he hadn’t had his fill bullying her!

"Not gonna say!" she muttered sullenly afterward, suddenly smelling from him a scent of blood, "You have... blood energy on you, fought with someone?" Her voice still a bit hoarse, yet increasingly smooth.

Changtian neither confirmed nor denied, merely smiled faintly and said: "Your nose is quite keen." The one responsible for handling the interrogation was Tu Jin, he simply stood by watching, only forgot that this girl’s sense of smell was far more acute than other senses, perhaps this was a necessary attribute of a glutton.

Two strands of worry appeared in her eyes: "The outside world is not peaceful?"

His little baby was indeed perceptive. The world was indeed unsettled, yet he did not want her to worry, only would speak to her of this once her injuries healed. "Occasionally, a few ignorant thieves sneak in, no big deal." He painted it lightly. There’ll always be blind fools, thinking killing her could calm numerous conflicts.

She understood him deeply, knowing his reply like this meant he did not wish her to delve into the matter, hence shifted the topic: "I want to see them."

"Who?"

She did not speak, merely pursed her lips, showing some displeasure. Her return to the Hidden Stream news probably spread widely in the Hidden Stream hinterland these past two days, many old acquaintances wanted to visit, but were all stopped outside the Yixian Inn by Changtian’s command.

She understood her physical condition was not suitable for guests, yet Changtian was busy during the day, usually not by her side, only keeping her company at night. The more immobile she was, the longer and more unbearable time seemed.

In the past three days, the unbearable boredom was nearly driving her crazy!

Changtian also knew she was having a hard time, however, her nature was originally too jumpy, to further advance on the cultivation path, at this moment it was the opportune moment to grind her, so he hardened his heart, not letting her see people. At this moment, seeing her like this, his heart softened, so he agreed.

Qingluan briskly walked into the incense house, upon first sight of Ning Xiaoxian, her gaze brightened, then a hidden dimple surfaced on her face, clearly trying to hold back a smile.

The mistress’s cheeks were flushed, her complexion was good. Thinking of just now when she crossed paths with Lord Changtian, his face rarely relaxed, Qingluan then knew this pair’s good matters were imminent.

Ning Xiaoxian’s face turned even redder, suppressing her embarrassment, face stern, only then did Qingluan barely maintain a calm expression.

Ning Xiaoxian glanced outside, softly saying: "Qingluan, how long was I asleep?"

She started with such a weighty topic, Qingluan slightly startled, stopped her smile, also replied softly: "Nearly three years." Followed by seeing without surprise her slightly open mouth, full of astonishment.

Three years, she actually slept for three years! No wonder upon waking, she always felt a sense of another world, turns out indeed a long time had passed.

In these three years, how many things happened?

Having practiced True One Technique. She closed her eyes to calm her mental state then continued slowly: "On the day within Bai Yujing, I overlooked Qi Zai and Jiu Mo. What happened to them afterward?"

She began by asking about these two people, Qingluan felt a warmth flowing in her heart: "Jiu Mo held back Yin Jiu You’s men, even used the substitute doll, finally exhausted and perished."

Ning Xiaoxian let out an "ah", feeling sad in her heart. No wonder that day within Bai Yujing, amidst the billowing mist, she always felt Yin Jiu You’s underhanded moves wouldn’t end with just a few strokes, turns out all were stymied by Jiu Mo sacrificing himself. She was at Early Stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivation, and her body was filled with poison, if truly fought to death, indeed very few could breach her layer of defense.
