CHAPTER 583: 0343 TWO UNFORESEEN DISASTERS UNDER THE HEAVENS (COMBINED INTO ONE)_2

Leaving the house less... can it bring peace of mind?

"Indeed, with a lady as beautiful as you, leaving you alone in this place of indulgence, I naturally wouldn’t feel at ease." Xu Chang’an rubbed his temples. "That’s why I need to thank Senior Zhu for taking care of you in my absence."

"Taking care?" Yun Qian tilted her head. "Why would I need her care?"

She couldn’t understand.

"Because there might be people causing trouble for you, Miss." Xu Chang’an explained.

"Having nothing better to do, why would anyone cause trouble for me?" Miss Yun was still very perplexed.

"Have you heard of disaster without reason?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"Disaster without reason..." Yun Qian thought for a moment, pointing at herself, she softly said, "Is... it referring to me?"

An inexplicable catastrophe, she wondered if it applied to her.

She didn’t know whether her accidental crushing of the entire Immortal Realm upon entering this world counted as a disaster without reason in terms of the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth or the Impermanence Dao.

Miss Yun shook her head.

"It shouldn’t count."

She said this.

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Xu Chang’an was puzzled.

"It’s nothing." Yun Qianxin thought that since the "path" chose to parasitize on her husband, it intended to use him against her...

Thus, the current Miss Yun was being bullied in the carriage, unable to fight back.

So, the damage the "path" received could hardly be considered disaster without reason; rather, it was self-inflicted.

Yun Qian couldn’t help but sigh.

She couldn’t understand why so many entities always tried to become his "system" and then use him against her.

Such incidents had happened too often to keep track.

It seemed that whether people, worlds, or entities from deep in the cosmos, they never learned their lesson.

Even though she was obedient in front of her husband, those entities who couldn’t even stand being glanced at by her, how had they any chance to use her husband?

Naturally, Miss Yun couldn’t understand.

Because, even though using Xu Chang’an had always failed, this was the only thing that had a real chance of wounding her.

After all, Miss Yun wouldn’t interfere with any of Xu Chang’an’s choices — any of them.

Just like how even if he wanted to bully her in the carriage, she would endure it even if she couldn’t breathe.

If he truly wanted to kill, she would only watch him silently.

Not only Miss Yun knew this; many who feared her knew it too.

Therefore, these entities being destroyed could not be considered innocent.

"I... should not be a disaster without reason." Yun Qian shook her head.

"...?????"

"It means harm suffered for no apparent reason, what does it have to do with you?" Xu Chang’an was baffled, then sighed, "Miss, haven’t you noticed that the places you normally go to buy food have only women? Furthermore... when you go out, no one approaches you; all of this is on Senior Zhu’s instruction."

"..." Yun Qian’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn’t speak.

She couldn’t say if this was unnecessary or not.

When Xu Chang’an wasn’t around, no one could even approach Yun Qian, let alone look at her. Even if a divine sense were to sweep over Beisang City inadvertently catching her silhouette...

Hmm, one didn’t even need to truly see her; the moment the thought arose, before any action could be taken, that person would disappear from this world.

Completely and utterly disappear.

Consider it: the girl named Yun Qian wouldn’t even allow Xu Chang’an’s "past life" to see her, not even letting the dream version of Xu Chang’an come near her, much less a stranger?

This was why she needed no protection.

Even today, the above scenarios still hold true.

As long as Xu Chang’an wasn’t by her side, any man approaching Yun Qian would equally mean ceasing to exist in this world.

She had already restrained herself.

If not for Xu Chang’an’s fondness for this world, it wouldn’t only be men disappearing.

So, to prevent the number of men on Muyu Peak from inexplicably dwindling...

She truly suited Muyu Peak, which was filled entirely with women.

"Miss, what are you daydreaming about?" Xu Chang’an waved a hand in front of Yun Qian’s face. "We should thank Senior Zhu, if for nothing else... if it weren’t for her looking after you, I wouldn’t have the guts to go cultivate immortality alone."

Hm.

"She can make you feel at ease?" Yun Qian was taken aback.

"Naturally."

Yun Qian nodded.

Indeed.

Not needing care was one thing, but Zhu Pingniang being able to make her husband feel at ease was already quite remarkable.

Something worth her attention.

Moreover...

Yun Qian pondered.

Her husband didn’t like violence, and though Miss Yun didn’t know if making someone cease to exist at the root counted as killing...

Someone who had never existed, how could it be called killing? Of course, it didn’t count.

However, based on past experiences, it should count.

And killing without cause would make Xu Chang’an unhappy, adding a little ruthlessness when settling with her later.

So, Zhu Pingniang’s "protection" sparing herself from committing further killings, preventing a matter that would anger her husband later, might truly be worth gratitude.

"I understand." Yun Qian nodded. "Senior Zhu must be a formidable woman."

"Miss, she’s my senior, not yours, don’t imitate me." Xu Chang’an coughed. "Call the instructor sister, and the same goes for Senior Zhu, otherwise, she won’t be happy."

"What about you?" Yun Qian considered. "You call her Sister Zhu."

"Purely out of necessity." Xu Chang’an smiled. "Miss, they say a teacher is like a parent, if you and the instructor address each other as sisters, I might really have to call you aunt in terms of hierarchy."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

——

System: "..."

As Xu Chang’an’s words fell, the rainfall in Beisang City abruptly increased again, as if the heavens had formed a breach, the torrential rain pouring in from the nine skies, seemingly intending to flood Beisang City entirely.

Sometimes enticing fate is just like this.

The system had painstakingly orchestrated two tasks to alleviate the girl’s mood, but with just a light-hearted joke from Xu Chang’an, the sense of crisis returned, engulfing the world.

Yet he remained unfazed.

"Miss, do you want to give it a try?" Xu Chang’an chuckled.

"I’ve said... I don’t like it." Yun Qian returned to her senses, gently bit her lip, and finally couldn’t help but grab onto his arm, exerting slight force.

She had agreed to endure, but that didn’t include... making her act like his mother.

An aunt is also a mother.

Saying Li Zhibai is the teacher, so being sisters makes one an aunt?

Yun Qian lowered her gaze.

So... it seemed the only way was for her husband to marry both Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang, then she and they would be legitimate sisters, without the chance of being called aunt.

That made sense.

Yun Qian’s eyes were unfathomably deep, accompanied by the apocalyptic storm outside, painting the atmosphere with a touch of eeriness.

But as the instigator, Xu Chang’an felt none of it, for regardless of the expressions, in his eyes, every facet of this woman was beautiful, seductive.

"Alright, no more jokes." Xu Chang’an took in Yun Qian’s invigorated appearance, holding her hand. "Now, you’re no longer feeling sleepy, are you?"

That was his goal.

Yun Qian: "..."

Sleepy?

Not anymore.

Scaring her a bit indeed worked better than tenderness.

"Tell me about Miss Zhu." Yun Qian said, "She seems like an impressive person, and I want to know."

"Here we go again..." Xu Chang’an didn’t know why Yun Qian was so keen on Zhu Pingniang. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but then, an idea struck him, and he realized it wasn’t a bad thing.

Given Yun Qian’s temperament, once her curiosity was sated, she wouldn’t bring it up again.

Plus, he could use this chance to let Miss Yun know how "wicked" and "fearsome" Senior Zhu was, prompting Yun Qian to keep a respectful distance from Zhu Pingniang.

Fortunately, Xu Chang’an didn’t need to exaggerate; merely recounting some of Zhu Pingniang’s tales would achieve the desired result.

"Miss, since you wish to know, I’ll tell you." Xu Chang’an smiled. "Conveniently, I serve as a steward on Muyu Peak, and I know a bit about the deeds and character of the senior."

He had heard plenty of glorious deeds and legends about Zhu Pingniang from the senior sisters on Muyu Peak.

Calling this senior a Demon Lord of Mayhem—there was no exaggeration.

"We were just talking about disaster without reason."

Xu Chang’an spoke with an air of importance, "Senior Zhu is what the senior sisters call disaster without reason."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian blinked.

Is it indeed so?

Is Miss Zhu also?
