300: Chapter 300 Opening My Eyes: You Are My Whole World

Inside the Quiet Bamboo Abode, sandalwood incense curled, and the night breeze brushed through the window lattice, stirring a rustling sound of bamboo leaves.

"Gong Yu, are you ready to see this world?"

Xu Chen's deep and magnetic voice sounded right beside Gong Yu's ear. His warm breath hit her extremely sensitive earlobe, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Gong Yu took a deep breath.

She nodded vigorously, her hands tightly clutching the hem of Xu Chen's black python robe, as if it were her only lifeline in this world that was about to be overturned.

"Husband... Gong Yu is ready."

Having received an affirmative answer, Xu Chen's large palms, which were covering Gong Yu's eyes, slowly moved aside along her smooth cheeks.

Losing the last trace of warmth covering her eyes, Gong Yu subconsciously squeezed her eyelids tighter. Her habit of darkness for over a decade made her feel an instinctive fear of the upcoming unknown light.

"Don't be afraid, open them slowly." Xu Chen's hands slid down and gently gripped her slightly trembling shoulders.

Gong Yu's long eyelashes fluttered like a startled butterfly, and then, those thin eyelids finally trembled open to reveal a sliver of light.

There was no stinging pain as she had expected when a long-term blind person first sees strong light.

The medicinal power of the Creation Divine Liquid had already laid a gentle protective film in the Meridians of her eyes. The first beam of light that entered her vision was the Mermaid's Tear Candle on the desk, emitting a dim, warm yellow glow.

At first, the images in her sight were a blur of colors, like a scroll of painting washed with water. But after only two or three breaths, that pure power of creation completely smoothed out all her visual nerves.

The blurry color patches quickly converged and focused, becoming sharp and clear.

The flickering candlelight, the verdant bamboo screen, the ancient zither on the low table that had accompanied her for countless days and nights... these inanimate objects that she could once only touch with her hands or listen to with her ears now truly burst into her world with the most vivid colors.

Gong Yu's breathing completely stopped.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze following the black python robe embroidered with a fierce Dragon in gold thread all the way up, finally fixing on the face that was inches away.

Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and a jawline with a curve that seemed carved in one go by a top master. In those deep, abyss-like black eyes, her stunned appearance was reflected, and a smile that was thirty percent domineering and seventy percent doting hung on the corners of his mouth.

This was her husband.

The god who had used a massive amount of Divine Source to buy her at the Myriad Treasures Tower in Tianyin City, crushed the Heavenly Dao Contract with one finger, and pulled her out of the endless Hell.

"What? Are you stunned by your husband's appearance?"

Seeing Gong Yu's infatuated look, where she couldn't even bear to blink, Xu Chen couldn't help but chuckle and lightly scratched the tip of her nose.

This light laugh completely shattered the dreamlike sense of unreality in Gong Yu's heart.

Warm tears burst out without warning, pattering down her fair cheeks onto the back of Xu Chen's hand.

Gong Yu let go of the hem of his robe and raised her trembling arms. She reached out with her fingertips, cautiously and with a pilgrimage-like devotion, stroking from Xu Chen's brow bone all the way to his slightly cool, thin lips.

The real tactile sensation overlapped with the flawless image in her eyes.

"Husband..." Gong Yu choked out, her voice breaking with sobs, "You are... ten million times more handsome than the image Gong Yu imagined in her dreams."

Before she could finish her words, this blind girl zitherist, who usually carried a bit of coldness and self-deprecation, made the boldest move of her life.

She suddenly tilted her head back, closed her newly reborn clear eyes, and pressed her red lips heavily onto Xu Chen's.

It was a kiss without any technique, even appearing somewhat clumsy. It carried the saltiness of tears but contained the gratitude, love, and absolute loyalty she had accumulated over months, willing to be shattered for the man before her.

Xu Chen's gaze darkened.

He took the initiative, his large hand supporting the back of Gong Yu's head as he pried open her pearly teeth, giving her a deep kiss that lasted for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. He only reluctantly let go when Gong Yu's body went limp and she was out of breath.

Just as their lips parted.

Deep within Xu Chen's Sea of Consciousness, the deep blue System panel emerged silently, with lines of gold-leafed characters sliding down like flowing water.

A warm, clear stream appeared out of thin air within Xu Chen's eyes.

He didn't close his eyes, yet he could clearly feel that the world before him had become completely different at this moment. The Spiritual Qi trajectories in the air that were originally invisible to the naked eye and the subtle spatial Law nodes were now as clear as the lines on his palm.

Xu Chen composed his mind, his gaze falling back onto the flushed Gong Yu in his arms.

"Since your eyes are healed, wouldn't it be a waste to always stay in this dim little room?"

Xu Chen grabbed Gong Yu's slender waist and picked her up horizontally.

"Come, your husband will take you to a good place to celebrate your return to the light."

Gong Yu gave a startled cry, instinctively reaching out to wrap her arms around Xu Chen's neck. Before she could ask where they were going, a spatial ripple spread out beneath Xu Chen's feet.

The surrounding scenery receded rapidly like a revolving lantern.

When Gong Yu's vision focused again, they had already left the Quiet Bamboo Abode and arrived at a Secret Realm that looked like a fairyland on earth.

This was an open-air spiritual spring in the deepest part of the Xu Family's back mountain.

Surrounded by white jade cliffs that towered into the clouds, thousand-year-old Lingzhi and Immortal Plants that emitted a faint, shimmering light grew on the cliffs. A hot spring pool covering dozens of feet was churning with thick white mist. On the water's surface floated nine-colored spirit lotuses the size of washbasins.

In the sky, a bright full moon hung high, pouring silver moonlight onto the rippling spring water, reflecting dazzling brilliance as it resonated with the top-grade divine source laid at the bottom of the pool.

Gong Yu was completely stunned.

Her newly recovered eyes greedily captured all the ultimate colors of this world. The ripples of the water, the delicacy of the spirit lotuses, the coldness of the moonlight—each brought her an unparalleled visual impact.

"Do you like it?" Xu Chen held her and walked slowly to the edge of the spiritual spring.

"I like it..." Gong Yu murmured to herself, "To think there is such a beautiful place in this world."

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's just a backdrop."

Xu Chen looked down, his deep gaze locking onto Gong Yu's clear, water-like eyes, the corners of his mouth curling into a wicked arc.

"Tonight's main event is to let you 'see' your husband clearly."

As his voice fell, Xu Chen carried Gong Yu and stepped directly into the warm spiritual spring.

The spring water reached their waists, and the rising steam soaked their clothes completely, making them cling tightly to their skin.

Xu Chen's slender fingers untied the ribbon at Gong Yu's waist, shedding those cumbersome clothes.

On the night she gave herself to him on the flying boat, Gong Yu was a blind girl. Because she couldn't see, her sense of shame was hidden to some extent, and she relied entirely on her extremely sensitive hearing and touch to feel Xu Chen's storm.

But it was different now.

The opening of her vision caused all her sensory experiences to undergo a nuclear explosion-like overlap.

Under the cold moonlight, Gong Yu watched with wide eyes as Xu Chen shed his black python robe.

That perfect physique belonging to a Saint King was displayed before her eyes without reservation. Broad shoulders, well-defined abdominal muscles, and the explosive sense of power in every inch of muscle, like that of an ancient Vicious Beast.

The direct visual impact made Gong Yu's cheeks instantly turn so red it seemed as if they would bleed. Even her fair neck and exquisite collarbones were dyed a charming shade of pink.

She subconsciously wanted to close her eyes or turn her head away.

"Don't hide."

Xu Chen's large hand pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"Before, when you couldn't see, I let you be. Now that these eyes are healed, they must be put to good use. Tonight's every detail, you must keep your eyes wide open and watch closely."

This extremely domineering command caused the sense of shame in Gong Yu's heart to instantly soar to its peak.

But her innate absolute obedience and love for Xu Chen made her endure the urge to look away, and she nodded obediently.

"Gong Yu... wants to see."

The sound of splashing water rang out.

The cold moonlight and the misty steam intertwined.

Gong Yu focused all her attention on the man who occupied her entire world. Her eyes didn't blink once as she watched the fire of desire in Xu Chen's deep eyes, and the beads of sweat falling from his forehead into the spiritual spring, creating ripples.

Hearing, touch, and now this visual impact with no blind spots.

The nine-colored spirit lotuses on the water's surface swayed violently with the waves. Gong Yu's uncontrollable delicate cries mixed with the sound of the spring water hitting the cliffs, composing the most moving movement.

Until the moon set and the stars thinned.

This double baptism of vision and body and mind gradually subsided.

Gong Yu was exhausted to the extreme, leaning limply in Xu Chen's arms. Although her clear eyes were filled with a blurred mist, her gaze never moved even an inch from Xu Chen's face.

Xu Chen held her smooth, fragrant shoulders, his other hand playing with her wet long hair, enjoying this rare warmth.

Just then, Xu Chen's powerful Saint King Divine Thought keenly captured a violent surge of spiritual energy coming from the direction of the Family's Martial Arts Training Ground several miles away.

Half was Demonic Fire that could burn the heavens and boil the seas, and half was an extreme cold that could freeze the Soul.

Ice and fire clashed, neither giving an inch.
