CHAPTER 259: 0172 THE PLACE SHE WANTS TO GO (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

"Me?" Yun Qian swallowed the candied fruit in her mouth and leaned against him: "When your stomach growls, you need to eat something. You told me that."

Xu Chang’an was taken aback and then had nothing to say.

Could it be that if he hadn’t said that, Miss Yun wouldn’t have eaten?

Yun Qian was eating beside him, while Xu Chang’an looked at the slightly damp Fire Stone in his hand. He calmly wrapped it in Spiritual Power and then placed it in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Yun Qian noticed his small action and asked, looking up.

"I’m keeping this." Xu Chang’an said.

"It originally belonged to you." Yun Qian said matter-of-factly, "Aren’t you going to wash it? I had it in my mouth just now."

"No need to wash it. I’ll take it out and look at it when I’m in a bad mood." Xu Chang’an smiled bitterly, feeling disappointed that he hadn’t seen the scene when Miss Yun put the Fire Stone in her mouth like a candied fruit...

What a pity.

His heart itched.

"Do you like it very much?" Yun Qian, puzzled, glanced at Xu Chang’an, put down the half-eaten persimmon cake, and pointed at the Fire Stone, "Should I eat it for you to see?"

"You don’t have such good teeth." Xu Chang’an said helplessly, "Just eat your own food."

"Okay." Yun Qian acknowledged, then said: "Is the issue resolved?"

"It’s resolved, the matter of the Elixir Field... there is a way." Xu Chang’an recalled the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation technique, avoiding looking at his wife.

"It’s resolved, but why do you seem unhappy?" Yun Qian asked.

"There’s still another problem." Xu Chang’an thought that in some sense, the System was even more troublesome than the issue with her Elixir Field. Not being able to use the Elixir Field didn’t hinder his life with Yun Qian, but the System was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Another problem?" Yun Qian nodded thoughtfully, swallowing the last piece of the persimmon cake. Her fair hand curled as if catching onto something, and she softly said, "Do you need my help to solve it?"

"This is my own matter, I’ll solve it myself." Xu Chang’an enjoyed the way she tried hard to be a good helper, although she knew nothing, and he laughed as he wrapped his arm around her waist: "If you, Miss, stay warm and healthy, without getting hurt, that’s the biggest help for me."

"I understand." Yun Qian slowly let go of her hand.

She knew a woman shouldn’t overly involve herself in a man’s affairs.

Xu Chang’an hugged her and curiously glanced out the window.

Rain was pouring down harder than before as if releasing something. The Inner Lake of Muyu Peak had already overflowed, flooding into the courtyards of the girls living by the lake.

This was only fine because it was the Immortal Sect. Such a downpour in the mortal world would cause disasters.

"How does this rain... have anything to do with me?" Xu Chang’an mumbled.

"What?" Yun Qian looked at him.

"Nothing." Xu Chang’an smiled slightly, enjoying the rare peace.

"What should I do now?" Yun Qian, having regained her strength after eating some candied fruit, slowly asked.

"Let’s go back to Celestial Bright Peak and prepare. Tomorrow we return to Beisang City." Xu Chang’an explained.

"Return?" Yun Qian’s eyelashes fluttered twice, "Aren’t you going to cultivate? If so, instead of returning to Beisang City, why not go back to the island with me?"

Since they planned to live an ordinary life as husband and wife, the city couldn’t compare to their time alone on the island.

She still had many things she wanted to do with Xu Chang’an on the island.

"I haven’t said I’m giving up cultivation." Xu Chang’an said earnestly: "Giving up cultivation... would mean giving up time with you, Miss. How could I do such a silly thing?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Cultivation allows one to live longer." Xu Chang’an revealed a look of anticipation, wondering what a hundred or five hundred years later would be like for him and Yun Qian, and whether they would have children.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian’s eyes wandered around the room with a "guilty" posture.

Longevity was already in her grasp.

He could live until... he no longer wished to live.

It’s not Miss Yun’s business.

"We’re going back to solve your cultivation problem." Xu Chang’an said.

"Okay."

"We’re going to meet Senior Zhu."

"Okay."

"Steward Zhu is in Flower Moon Building, a brothel."

"Okay."

"Miss, can you say something other than okay?"

"Okay?"

"... Never mind." Xu Chang’an chuckled bitterly, "Though I know you wouldn’t mind such things, I’m going to take you to a brothel after all... shouldn’t there be some emotional reaction?"

"Is that so?" Yun Qian nodded seriously and said, "I’ll be happy to be with you."

Thinking for a moment, Yun Qian suddenly said: "But going up and down the mountain will tire you out again."

Because the road was too long, he’d have to carry her, which would be tiring.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

He understood now that in Yun Qian’s heart, as long as she was with him, it didn’t matter if it was to Beisang City, Chaoyun Sect, a brothel, or boating. They were all the same.

To have such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

"Carrying you makes me sweat, but it’s not from fatigue." Xu Chang’an covered his face.

"That’s strange." Yun Qian turned her head to look at Xu Chang’an, thinking doing more intimate things was commonplace for them, merely simple touches...

"Because Miss doesn’t realize her own charm." Xu Chang’an coughed once: "Nowadays, even the professor likes you."

"Is that so." Yun Qian nodded, not denying her charm this time.

"Aren’t you going to ask how to solve the problem?" Xu Chang’an blinked rapidly.

"I’ll listen to you."

"It’ll be in a way you like. We could justifiably spend all day together, even Junior Master Qin couldn’t say we were indulging, right?"

"In a way I like?" Yun Qian acknowledged.

"I know you want to say you like being with me." Xu Chang’an hesitated, then mysteriously said, "But... you’ll definitely like it even more."

He sounded like a rascal teasing a virtuous woman.

But she was his wife, and they were alone in their bedroom, so it was only natural he could say that.

"Then I look forward to it." Yun Qian followed his words, curling her lips into a beautiful arc.

She didn’t know everything; even if she knew, if she wanted to pretend she didn’t, she could suppress the memory.

As long as it made him happy.

"It’s a promise, we’ll go to Beisang City tomorrow to see Senior Zhu." Xu Chang’an said, planning to explain Zhu Pingniang’s personality and the brothel girls’ jokes to Yun Qian, preparing her so she wouldn’t misunderstand Zhu Pingniang’s nature.

Although Yun Qian didn’t care about it at all.

"Okay." Yun Qian nodded, standing up, "Shall we go?"

"No rush." Xu Chang’an glanced at the small umbrella by the door and at the heavy rain outside, saying: "I can’t use Spiritual Power now, so let’s wait until the rain lightens before leaving..."

With such heavy rain, if they didn’t use the umbrella, she’d get soaked.

"Wait until the rain lightens?" Yun Qian tilted her head, glancing at the dark clouds outside the window.

"Anyway, heavy rain isn’t bad. I quite like this kind of environment." Xu Chang’an smiled: "Listening to the rain as two people have its own charm."

"So you like it, let’s stay a bit longer then." Yun Qian acknowledged, slowly sitting back down.

"Miss, you really don’t care about the brothel, huh? Generally, girls would show some resistance. After all, where in the world does a husband take his wife to a brothel?"

"You didn’t tell me beforehand. Is it still too late to resist?"

"It’s too late."

"Okay."

Yun Qian thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Actually, I also have a place I want to go, can you take me there?"

"Sure... wait, wait, wait." Xu Chang’an instinctively agreed to Yun Qian’s request but then immediately widened his eyes and jumped up: "What did you say... you have a place you want to go? Where is it?"

Was the sun rising in the west?

She actually had a place she wanted to go and mentioned it voluntarily.

Xu Chang’an’s heart rate accelerated continuously, his inner sense of anticipation climbing rapidly, his eyes fixated on Yun Qian’s face.

Until Yun Qian slowly spoke, pushing his anticipation to its peak.

——

"I want to see the place you live at Muyu Peak." Yun Qian said seriously.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Oh.

I see.

Then it’s nothing.
