Chapter 247 - 247: 12: Husband, Long Time No See_2

With his feelings out in the open, the smile on his face grew more radiant as he said, “I have so much to tell you. I’ll talk slowly, you listen slowly, and even if you’re angry, don’t interrupt me because I’m afraid I won’t have this opportunity again.”

“Madam, you are truly beautiful. The first time I saw you in that matchmaking agency’s room, I felt as if Heaven had blessed me. I was not a fan of arranged marriages, and I was worried that you wouldn’t like me and only agreed to marry me because of your parents’ coercion. However, when you later said you didn’t care about my background and didn’t mind our small house, I was really happy.”

I’ve always felt guilty about hiding my cultivation from you, causing you to worry aDOut me, teacnmg me to cultivate, maK1ng nertjal mecncme ror me, ana fighting the fox demon over and over again. Fortunately, you were fine later on. I forgot to tell you that I actually killed that fox demon. You didn’t know, but that fox demon had the backing of Blackwind Cave and was not to be underestimated. I went there to eliminate the threat, so as not to endanger the safety of Jinzhou City. Who would have thought that I would be targeted by that old devil upon my return?

I just told you about what happened recently, this separation has lasted almost two years. I had settled down in Nanyu Prefecture, but without you, everything seems tasteless. Every time I see sugar-coated haws, I think of your face; every time I see lovely water, I think of your eyes. Over these years, I’ve seen many fairies and princesses, but when I see beautiful girls, I think of you, and then they don’t seem beautiful anymore—thanks to you, I’ve come this far.”

Zhao Huai said all these words in one breath, his throat dry, but his feelings vented and he felt much lighter and still had more to say.

His eyes were crystal clear, like a clear spring, staring at Yu Qinghan with a firm gaze saying,

“So, Madam, I’m so glad to see you again now.”

Yu Qinghan, dressed in a dark blue robe, leaned against the rock wall, her eyebrows curved. Her heart was touched, and she laughed,

“After all this time, you really haven’t fallen for anyone else?”

Zhao Huai replied seriously, “As I said, whenever I see them, I think of you, and then they don’t seem beautiful anymore.”

“Also, if I had fallen for someone else or married someone else, what would you think? I probably might never see you again, not to mention meeting you in the

Spiritual Mountains.”

“Am I that unreasonable?” Yu Qinghan couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

Zhao Huai stammered, pausing for a moment.

“Right, I am that unreasonable.” Yu Qinghan snorted.

Then, she suddenly burst into laughter, her smile filled with happiness and triumph. Her slanted eyes narrowed, making them more like crescent moons and rendering her even more radiant.

She took a step forward and hugged Zhao Huai in front of her and whispered in his ear,

“My husband, listen, I love you as well, not a bit less than you love me!”

The moment she saw Zhao Huai, she had the urge to embrace him.

Now, she finally got her wish.

The husband was the same husband, who had never changed.

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Huai was momentarily stunned before breaking into a joyful smile.

Yu Qinghan let go, her eyes slightly red. As she listened to all that Zhao Huai had to say, tears couldn’t help but fall, full of regret, embarrassment, and something she couldn’t laugh about,

“Why are you so silly? How could I possibly not like you? Did you really think I was an evil witch who came to deceive your feelings?”

Yu Qinghan wiped her tears, regained her composure, and flashed the domineering look that belonged to the Xia’s Empress. She turned her body to the side and slowly said,

“I can’t think of too many nice things to say, but I only know that who I, Yu Qinghan, like does not require any reason.”

Truth be told, deep down she did have reasons, but she was too embarrassed to say them like Zhao Huai did.

Suddenly, Zhao Huai hugged her from behind.

Feeling the heat from his chest at the back, Yu Qinghan’s face turned red, but she pursed her lips and didn’t struggle. Instead, she turned around, her jade-like chin raised slightly, and tiptoed so she could look straight into Zhao Huai’s eyes.

Her delicate red lips moved closer.

Both of them could hear each other’s rapid breathing.

Smelling the enticing scent in front of his nose, Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate and kissed her.

In a quiet corner of an unknown immortal peak within the Limitless Immortal Sect, a reunited pair of lovers embraced each other silently.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the Limitless Immortal Sect: Elder Bai and Gu Tianji sat across from one another.

“What do you want with the spiritual pond?”

Elder Bai asked.

“It’s for forging a sword, I need a ten thousand-year-old flood dragon’s gall.” Gu Tianji casually replied; his thoughts were evidently elsewhere.

“Ten thousand years? Do you know how rare that is? Even though demons have long lifespans, reaching ten thousand years isn’t easy; they need to be at least at the fifth realm, comparable to a human at the Metamorphosis Realm.”

Gu Tianji annoyed, “What’s the use of shouting at me? So what if your cultivation is high? It’s just the Metamorphosis Stage. At most, give me 300 years, and I’ll be able to reach it.”

Elder Bai scoffed, “You really don’t understand the depth of the world. The great demons in this Illusory Southern Sea come from the Wilderness Demon World, and they were all sealed by Ancestor Yan Zu. Every single one of these demons is above the Golden Core stage, equivalent to Demon Kings. If it weren’t for the seal, those forbidden creatures would have already escaped, and you wouldn’t have any chance.”

Gu Tianji retorted, “What’s the difference between you and me? Isn’t the Limitless Immortal Sect getting a quota of spiritual objects every year to nurture the disciples?”

“What right do you have, and who are we? Can we even be compared? Besides, the ritual is only held once every ten years; you just come here and demand access, who do you think you are?”Chatting with a notorious hooligan from the Spiritual Mountain, Elder Bai had to put his elders’ dignity aside and respond to Gu Tianji’s taunts line by line.

Gu Tianji saw that the other party was beyond reason, and his connections were of no use. He sighed, waved his hand, and said,

“Forget it, forget it; I’m too lazy to talk to you. Just go and talk to the crown prince later.”

“Wait… What did you say? Crown Prince?!”

“The Crown Prince of Yan Country?”

At first, Elder Bai didn’t think much of it, but soon realized something was wrong.

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Tianji expressionlessly scratched his ear and asked nonchalantly.

The Limitless Immortal Sect, frightened by the identity of the Crown Prince of Yan Country?

Impossible.

Elder Bai widened his eyes in shock, barely able to believe it, and muttered,

“The Crown Prince of Yan Country, the Xia’s Empress, ah, so…”

“The father of these two children is actually him!”

“What are you talking about?”

Gu Tianji frowned and asked, puzzled.

“Do you know who my disciple is?” Elder Bai said solemnly. “who?”

“The Xia’s Empress.”

Gu Tianji was also surprised and confirmed it again and again.

“Indeed. ”

Elder Bai nodded heavily.

“Damn, that’s explosive.”

Gu Tianji excitedly clapped his hands.

The first reaction was not astonishment, but curiosity.

One was the Lord of Yan, the other was the Xia’s Emperor.

There must be a story between these two!

“Explosive? This is clearly a tragic fate!” Elder Bai frowned and disagreed.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Gu Tianji shook his head repeatedly, speaking earnestly,

“Elder Bai, your vision is too narrow. Let me tell you, it’s not a bad thing for them to be together. As a gatekeeper, I know that if the current situation in the Mortal World continues to develop, it will undoubtedly lead to war. But now, if the two of them reconcile, there may be less chaos in the Mortal World.” “In my opinion, the unification of the Mortal World is just around the corner.”

“You… ‘

“Boom!”

Angrily, Elder Bai hadn’t finished speaking when a sudden, massive tremor came from the whole Spiritual Mountain, causing the mountains of the Limitless Immortal Sect to tremble.

High above in the sky, dark clouds rolled in, and huge spiritual ships appeared, heading for the breach in the formation.

It looked like dark clouds pressing down on mountains.

“Devil clouds and black tide… not good; the Devil Sect is attacking!”

Elder Bai saw the scene and shouted in alarm.

In an instant, the endless devil clouds covered the Immortal Peak, where the sword pavilion was located.

Many disciples of the Limitless Immortal Sect looked at the thousand-mile-long devil cloud in the sky in horror, focusing on the colossal black demon ship at the highest point. The elders had told them that there would be a great war soon and that everyone must practice hard.

But who could have anticipated that the Devil Sect would come calling so soon?

The speed had already exceeded their expectations.

“Call all law enforcement disciples of the Sect to defend the mountain.”

“Inform the other sects to prepare for battle!”
