CHAPTER 353: ARRIVING IN THE TIANXUAN CONTINENT

Twenty real years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Xu opened his eyes, glanced across him, and smiled.

’I haven’t seen Ayuan in six hundred years.’ He thought, and his eyes subconsciously softened.

Unable to control himself, he continued staring and only regained his senses when the man’s lips curled slightly upwards.

"Have you stared enough?" A voice sounded in the room, and the double subconsciously shook his head.

"Not enough. I will never have enough." He said, throwing himself across the room.

"Careful." Zhen Yuan exclaimed and hurriedly caught the person.

Although they had been in seclusion for only six hundred years, he had missed Shen Xu and holding him felt like finally coming home.

"You have become more beautiful." He said.

"Really?" Shen Xu asked in a teasing voice.

After all, he had done nothing but refine his soul over the past six hundred years.

How could he suddenly become more beautiful?

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t think so and confidently nodded.

"You are indeed more beautiful." He said, rubbing the double’s flame-coloured hair.

"You probably think so because you haven’t seen my real appearance in many years."

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard this.

However, he was glad they had resolved to start living as themselves.

Thinking of this, he stood with the double in his arms and walked to their bedroom.

Soon after, the two fell on the bed and were inseparable for the next half a year.

"I am exhausted." Shen Xu complained and pinched Zhen Yuan’s waist.

"Weren’t you the one who said not to stop?" Zhen Yuan teased, and the double snorted, turning his head to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan chuckled and held the double closer.

"Your soul cultivation has advanced to the mid-stage of level eight. Congratulations." He said.

Shen Xu sighed when he heard this.

"I only refined the nether lotuses, some soul fish, soul water, and soul nourishing dew. I didn’t have enough time to refine the soul nourishing fruit tree." He said, and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.

"Me too." He said.

His soul cultivation was originally at the early stage of level eight.

After refining almost the same resources as Shen Xu, he reluctantly advanced to the peak stage of level eight.

"The ship should already have arrived in the Tianxuan continent. Do you want to go out and have a look?" He asked, and Shen Xu nodded but suddenly had a thoughtful expression.

A moment later, he checked his storage ring and sighed.

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Manager Zhang’s communication jade is gone." He said, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

The fact that the communication jade was gone confirmed that they had arrived in the Tianxuan continent, hence the condition for breaking the relationship was met.

After the relationship broke, Jingyu’s technique immediately took effect and completely erased manager Zhang’s memories of them.

"That’s that?!" Shen Xu said and quickly continued.

"He has his own path and we have ours."

"Xiaoxu, we will meet many people, but only you and I will always stay together." Zhen Yuan said with a doting expression.

"I know." The double said and kissed the man’s lips.

As a result, the fire that had just been put out was immediately reignited, and the two didn’t leave the space until three days later.

Because they left the space pendant necklace with one of the puppets, the two appeared in the ship’s navigation room.

However, they immediately realised that the ship was different from the growth-type ship which Shen Xu had named ’The Mayfly’.

"We have already changed ships?" The double asked.

Before going into seclusion, he gave the puppets some last-minute instructions.

The first was to drop the Zhang couple and the Dongfang couple near a small town after arriving in the Tianxuan continent.

This way, the two couples could easily enter the town and begin making arrangements for their future life.

The second instruction was to put away the Mayfly and use a lower-level ship to fly to another small town.

Although the Tianxuan continent was a high-grade continent, level nine resources and masters were rare.

Considering this, using the Mayfly to travel around would not only attract attention but also trouble. For now, neither Shen Xu nor Zhen Yuan wanted trouble since their cultivation was still low and they had yet to settle in the new continent.

"Master, we arrived two months ago and changed ships around the same time. We are on our way here." The puppet said and pointed at a place on the map of the Tianxuan continent.

"Fuqi city..." Shen Xu muttered with a thoughtful expression.

"Fuqi town is a second-tier city within the domain of the Myriad Tools sect. It’s a good choice." He said.

From the Dongfang couple’s information, the Tianxuan continent had three tiers of cities.

Main cities were the power centres of various factions, and the city lords were tribulation transcending realm cultivators.

After the main cities were tier one cities whose city lords were Mahayana realm cultivators, and similarly, the city lords of tier two cities were fusion realm cultivators.

That said, there were many smaller cities in the Tianxuan continent, but those towns were nothing compared to the tier cities.

"How long until we arrive?" The double asked.

"Two days." The puppet answered, and Shen nodded before he and Zhen Yuan went to the ship deck.

"The qi is so pure and dense." Shen Xu said, his face revealing an expression of enjoyment.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t react and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What’s wrong?" The double asked when he saw his partner’s thoughtful face.

[Xiaoxu, changes outside the space don’t usually affect us when we are in the space.] Zhen Yuan stated, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be confused.

[Isn’t that normal?] He asked.

[You noticed Zhang Ji’s communication jade had disappeared while we were still in the space.]

[What’s...] Shen Xu started but suddenly stopped, his brows creased in a frown.

Zhen Yuan was right.

Under normal circumstances, the jade should only have disappeared after he left the space.

However, Jingyu’s ability was unaffected by the space, and the communication jade disappeared before they exited the space.

[Ayuan, I have learned to accept that Jingyu’s level is not something we can touch for the time being. Fortunately, she is not an enemy.]

Speaking of communication jades, Shen Xu took out his and found a message from Dongfang Jing.

A moment later, he smiled with a relieved expression.

"What is it?"

"Although the Dongfang couple only has a vague impression of us, they still remember their promise and have reminded us to prepare to enter the Xuanwu secret realm together." The double said.

"That’s good." Zhen Yuan nodded.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu stood on the ship deck, looking at the city that was rapidly drawing closer.

"We should stop here." Zhen Yuan suggested, and Shen Xu agreed.

Simultaneously, he transmitted a message to the puppet, and the ship came to a stop before slowly descending.

After putting the ship and puppets away, the two held hands and began walking towards the city.

However, after a few steps, Shen Xu sighed with a complicated expression.

"What’s wrong?"

’Ayuan, look at that..." He said, pointing at a bunch of spirit grasses growing in the wild.

"That’s the five-leaf cleansing grass; a rare material for the detoxifying pill, and that over there is the..."

In this way, Shen Xu pointed at and named more than a dozen spirit grasses that were growing on the roadside.

"All these spirit grasses are rare materials in the Canglan continent, but when it comes to the Tianxuan, they are growing on the road, and no one bothers to pick them."

"Do you want to pick them?" Zhen Yuan asked, but Shen Xu shook his head.

"I already have them in the space. Let’s leave these ones for others." He said.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the city entrance and immediately attracted attention.

Shen Xu wore a red robe, had wavy waist-length flame-coloured hair that was loosely tied at the nape of his neck, wore a golden line-chain earring on his right ear lobe, and had a bright cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.

Combined with his phoenix eyes and lazy expression, the double looked like a temptress that no one could resist.

Next to the temptress was an extremely handsome man.

The man wore a silver-grey outer robe which perfectly contrasted with his wine-red inner robe, his black hair was tied with a silver guan, and his profound silver-grey eyes seemed to hold all the secrets of the universe.

The couple were extremely eye-catching, and every head turned wherever they passed.

’Damned it! These foxes are ready to pounce on my Ayuan.’ Shen Xu secretly cursed and squeezed his lover’s hand.

However, Zhen Yuan was also not having a good time and was considering gouging people’s eyes out.

"Ten..., ten spirit stones." One of the guards stuttered when it was the couple’s turn to enter the city.
