308: Chapter 308 Let's Eat Something Else

Su Wansha was somewhat at a loss when she heard this.

She knew she had lost her composure. Logically, seeing Xie Juner's martial arts improve so much, she should have been happy for her sister.

"Husband, actually I... I didn't..."

"No need to say more. I'm not asking for your opinion; this is a necessity!"

Lin Xiao said sternly, "Being my woman, you cannot lack the ability to protect yourself!"

"That's right, Su Wansha. Husband has plenty of methods. You just need to trust him," Xiao Qingxuan encouraged.

There was a glimmer of moisture in Su Wansha's eyes. She made up her mind and nodded.

Late at night.

In the study, Xiao Qingxuan was reviewing official documents sent from various parts of the Northern Territory.

Although the group was returning to Baishui City for the New Year, the Northern Territory had just been pacified, and there were many affairs to attend to. As the "former Empress," she simply couldn't find any free time.

Fortunately, with her current Great Grandmaster cultivation, she had enough energy to cope.

The door pushed open, and Lin Xiao walked in.

"Husband?"

Xiao Qingxuan looked surprised. Tonight shouldn't have been her turn.

Could it be that Su Wansha was already worn out so quickly?

Then the other little gluttons should have stepped up to take her place.

"Still busy? It's truly hard on you, my wife, for being with me."

Lin Xiao felt a bit embarrassed, but since he really wasn't good at these things, he had no choice but to trouble his lovely wife.

Xiao Qingxuan smiled charmingly, "Husband, you're saying these things again. You and I are one; why bother with such polite words?"

"Allow me to finish reading these two urgent reports, and then I will bathe and attend to you, Husband..."

Lin Xiao waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no need."

"Could it be that you are fickle, Husband? Did Xie Juner let you taste something special yesterday?" Xiao Qingxuan feigned unhappiness.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't make such jokes, my wife!"

Lin Xiao took out the scroll of the Wordless Heavenly Book and handed it to her.

"I came here to let you see this, my wife."

Seeing this, Xiao Qingxuan no longer had the heart to tease. After all, since Lin Xiao had specifically brought it to her, it must be something extremely important.

"Husband, what is this?"

After taking it, Xiao Qingxuan discovered that the object was extremely exquisite, but it had no characters written on it.

"This is the Wordless Heavenly Book. I obtained it after having an epiphany upon stepping into the Immortal Realm."

"Take a look, my wife. It should be helpful for your 'Cold Jade Art'."

Lin Xiao had decided at the dinner table that he would let Xiao Qingxuan read this Heavenly Book.

After all, she was his first wife and had worked hard, so he couldn't treat her unfairly.

Moreover, she possessed Heaven Grade aptitude, so giving her any amount of good resources wouldn't be excessive.

The Earth Grade Cold Jade Art was no longer sufficient.

As his influence grew, Xiao Qingxuan would certainly encounter more dangers, so he had to prepare in advance.

"The Wordless Heavenly Book?"

Xiao Qingxuan was very curious, wondering how to read it since it had no characters.

But after one glance, she quickly seemed to have an epiphany and couldn't help but stare at it continuously...

Gradually, Xiao Qingxuan gained some insights and, ignoring everything else, sat cross-legged on the floor.

Lin Xiao knew that the Wordless Heavenly Book had been successfully used.

Before long, the icy aura on Xiao Qingxuan's body surged violently, and the entire study was covered in a layer of frost.

Her hair was even faintly shimmering with a blue-white frosty glow?

The moment she opened her eyes, they sparkled with a beautiful gemstone blue.

[Xiao Qingxuan, 20 years old, wife of the Great General of the North, former Empress of Western Shu, Aptitude: Profound Yin Body, Heaven Grade]

[Realm: Quasi-Great Grandmaster]

[Cultivation Technique: Xuanming Ice Soul Fragment (71 years of cultivation), a mysterious technique derived from the 'Cold Jade Art'. It is extremely Yin and extremely cold; it requires the Profound Yin Body to practice, but unfortunately, it is incomplete. Grade: Heaven Grade]

[Traits: Monarch (Legendary), World-Governing Talent (Legendary), Quasi-Great Grandmaster (Special)]

Lin Xiao was taken aback!

Goodness, her realm had directly approached that of a Great Grandmaster, reaching the level of Daoist Cang Zhu!?

The key was—a Heaven Grade cultivation technique fragment?

Looking at it this way, the complete version of this "Xuanming Ice Soul" would be immortal grade!

Come to think of it, Daoist Cang Zhu said that the martial arts of the Five Great Sects originated from the Heavenly Palace.

The "Cold Jade Art" had an introduction as a "mysterious martial art" from the beginning; it might really be a simplified version of some immortal grade technique from the Heavenly Palace.

No wonder the power of this Cold Jade Art was comparable to a Heaven Grade technique even when it was Earth Grade... It was actually extracted from an immortal grade technique?

Xiao Qingxuan stood up happily and said, "Husband! How miraculous. I feel that some obscure parts of the Cold Jade Art have suddenly become clear, and I have realized many new things."

"Now this technique of yours should be called 'Xuanming Ice Soul'," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Xuanming Ice Soul? Husband, you have great talent; the name is indeed fitting... It's just... I feel it is still somewhat incomplete, as if it could be improved further."

Xiao Qingxuan felt a bit uncomfortable, like a jigsaw puzzle missing a few key pieces.

"No need to worry, my wife. Sooner or later, you will be able to comprehend it all."

Lin Xiao felt it was a pity. Since he didn't have the fragment of the Xuanming Ice Soul, he couldn't use the Wish System to help Xiao Qingxuan find the remaining parts.

It seemed he would have to go to the Daoist Sect to ask about the origin of this technique.

Of course, if Xiao Qingxuan had extraordinary talent, it wasn't impossible for her to perfect the technique herself one day.

"Husband, I still want to familiarize myself with it further. You should go and accompany Su Wansha."

Xiao Qingxuan felt too busy; she had official business to handle and the technique to practice, so she couldn't spare the time to chat with her man.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. Only in this world would his own wife urge him to go and accompany another woman!

Immediately, Lin Xiao went to Su Wansha's courtyard.

The woman had already bathed and changed clothes, lit some agarwood, and was sitting at the desk looking at the account books.

Because she was so engrossed in reading, she didn't even notice Lin Xiao enter the room.

"Oh my... my wives, how are you all so capable?" Lin Xiao praised her.

Su Wansha woke up, turned around, and her pretty face blushed slightly, "I'm sorry, Husband. I was originally waiting for you, but seeing that you were late to come, I decided to look at the account books first. Who would have thought I'd get so absorbed..."

She was worried that Lin Xiao would blame her for being busy with other things on the day she was meant to attend to him, and not being attentive enough.

Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't blame her, "It's fine, I was the one who came late."

Lin Xiao took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill and said, "I obtained this pill by chance. Its effect is to improve a martial artist's innate aptitude."

"Eat this, and then I will teach you how to practice martial arts."

Su Wansha was stunned for a long time and gasped.

"Change innate aptitude!? This kind of heaven-defying spiritual pill, Husband, you want to give it to me to eat!?"

Although she was not a martial arts expert, she had heard many stories about the martial world from Su Chang.

She had never heard of a pill that could cleanse the marrow and improve aptitude! It showed how precious this was!

Even the legendary immortal pills couldn't be better than this, right!?

"I know what you want to say, but since I have given it to you, it is my intention. Don't let me feel disheartened, my wife." Lin Xiao said gently.

Su Wansha was moved to tears. Once upon a time, in the dead of night, when she was guarding Yangquan City alone, she felt like she had been neglected.

But after all, she didn't have the background, strength, or talent that Xiao Qingxuan and the others had.

Therefore, Su Wansha also told herself to work harder to strive for her husband's affection.

But at this moment, Su Wansha felt she had been too foolish. Her husband had never neglected her; she had just been overthinking...

"Husband... I want to eat it later." Su Wansha said softly.

"Huh?" Lin Xiao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Su Wansha bit her red lips, "My throat is a bit dry... I want to eat something else first..."
