CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 253: CANDOR, AND THEN— "NOW IT’S MY TURN TO VENT!"_4

Zhu Nanzhi’s blue eyes were misty, as if she was about to cry: "I really like my husband... but I don’t want to give my husband an answer tonight, you... hmm?"

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Nanzhi felt herself become light, as Lu Jin’an lifted her in his arms and carried her toward the bedroom.

"Then I’ll make you agree in another way." Lu Jin’an shamelessly said, "Can you hold on?"

Zhu Nanzhi truly lacked confidence... especially since her husband had now opened the sixth Dao Palace.

Although she didn’t understand Body Refinement, she was quite clear about the function of the Martial Arts Dao Palace.

She gripped Lu Jin’an’s shoulders tightly: "Is what you’re doing effective, my husband?"

"That’s why I want you to open up your heart." Lu Jin’an placed her on the bed, one hand propped on the bed beside her head, the other hand gradually moved to her navel: "This is also heartfelt, isn’t it?"

Zhu Nanzhi involuntarily pressed her legs together, her eyes filled with blurred affection as she gazed at Lu Jin’an’s expression at this moment, thinking that after leaving the medical hall in Nanzhuo Domain, she would never see her husband like this again.

Unexpectedly, she saw it again tonight...

This version of her husband was truly wonderful~~~

"Is my husband so confident because he thinks I can’t leave you?"

"That’s one aspect." Lu Jin’an flipped over and sat at the edge of the bed, gently pinching her cheek with his left hand, his tone softening: "The other aspect is that I can’t leave you either.

Shamelessly speaking, I like you so much more..."

"I like my husband more than my husband likes me." Zhu Nanzhi propped herself up on the bed: "Isn’t that right?"

"Right." Lu Jin’an looked into Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes: "But liking is genuine."

Zhu Nanzhi rested her chin on Lu Jin’an’s shoulder: "Since my husband likes me, why not pursue me?"

"Because I didn’t initially like you first."

"Older sister?"

Older sister?

Too scared to even come close, how dare I like?

Lu Jin’an said softly: "Master."

Zhu Nanzhi’s eyelids lowered slightly: "So, should I be the one begging you not to abandon me?"

"I’ve already said before." Lu Jin’an held her hand: "I won’t let you leave, this should count as my way of begging you."

"Who begs in such a forceful way?"

"I do."

"So, I never had a choice from the start, is that it?"

"Yes." Lu Jin’an nodded: "You heard about this from the Senior Sister, I think you should have been somewhat prepared for this, right?"

"Hmm..."

"But you didn’t leave." Lu Jin’an flipped her back onto the bed: "Why didn’t you leave?"

"I, I don’t know..." Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes wandered, why didn’t she simply leave in a huff to show her stance?

Was it to confirm if her husband and Master Pei really had relations?

But what about after confirming?

Even if there’s no confirmation, shouldn’t I just storm back to Qingmiao Palace and let my husband come to me on his own?

Zhu Nanzhi bit her lip lightly, why didn’t she do that?

Because she feared her husband wouldn’t come looking for her...

"Because you can’t leave." Lu Jin’an whispered in her ear: "Without my permission, you can’t leave Wandao Sect at all."

Zhu Nanzhi’s expression froze: "Is, is that so?"

"Yes." Lu Jin’an gently caressed her soft profile: "When you came to Wandao Sect, you became a caged Golden Canary, even after my return, you wouldn’t be able to leave."

As his words fell, he began to unbutton Zhu Nanzhi’s cloud-patterned shoulder buttons while continuing to speak, half-jokingly saying: "If it were in Qingmiao Palace, I wouldn’t use this method...

Like you said, it should be me seeking you."

Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes trembled, watching his fingers begin to unbutton her cross-collar outer garment, she asked softly: "Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind once I return to Qingmiao Palace?"

"I am afraid, but I will still come after you."

"After becoming immortal?"

"No." Lu Jin’an shook his head: "I’ll come immediately."

"Indeed, considering my husband as the Saint Heir of Wandao Sect, if I dared to imprison my husband, Wandao Sect would march in with their army the next day." Zhu Nanzhi snorted softly.

"No." Lu Jin’an’s gaze swept over the camisole she wore underneath, pausing slightly at her clavicle, which rose and fell gently with her breath, then he spoke again: "I wouldn’t come as the Saint Heir of Wandao Sect, but as your husband."

Without waiting for Zhu Nanzhi to speak, Lu Jin’an continued: "If I can’t persuade you, I’d use force. Cultivators losing and being killed in a duel is a common occurrence, isn’t it?"

"I couldn’t bear to kill my husband..." Zhu Nanzhi turned her head: "Unless my husband begs me."

Lu Jin’an chuckled: "I would beg, but you wouldn’t be able to bear it."

Frustrated, Zhu Nanzhi lifted herself to bite his neck, but as she neared, she changed course and bit his clothed shoulder instead.

Indeed, she was raised by Aunt Ruo.

Lu Jin’an gently rubbed Zhu Nanzhi’s back, his voice soft: "Do you think I’m exploiting your affection for you to be so fearless, right?"

Without waiting for Zhu Nanzhi to respond, he continued: "Indeed, being favored allows one to be fearless."

His eyes lowered slightly, the premise of being fearless was the several times he reformed Zhi into an adoring manic.

Zhu Nanzhi released his shoulder: "Since my husband has said all these things, what else can I say?"

Lu Jin’an pondered for two seconds: "Praise me for being honest?"

"Where does my husband get such thick skin?" Zhu Nanzhi pounded his chest lightly: "Always manipulating me!"

"If I don’t have thick skin, do I have to resort to a cold treatment?" Lu Jin’an said softly: "If that’s the case, whether you all like it or not, I certainly wouldn’t like it first."
