154: Chapter 154 Wait a minute! My husband!

A few days later.

Everyone had finished counting the supplies.

Ye Changge waved his hand, and a clear, resonant eagle cry echoed through the sky.

A massive golden figure broke through the clouds and descended, its wings spanning seven or eight zhang wide. Its golden feathers were dazzling under the sunlight; it was none other than the Wuji Heavenly Eagle, Xiao Jin.

Ye Changge leaped onto the eagle's back and reached out to the others: "Come on up."

Although they had seen it once before, seeing it again still made them feel a little afraid.

Xiao Caiyue took his hand, and with a gentle pull from him, she landed steadily on the eagle's back.

Xiao Yurou gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and leaped up as well.

Xiao Zhi was held in Xiao Yurou's arms, curled into a ball, and only dared to peek out from between the gaps of Xiao Jin's feathers.

"Hold on tight."

Ye Changge patted Xiao Jin's neck gently.

The giant golden eagle flapped its wings, whipping up a gust of wind as it soared straight into the clouds!

The gale was biting, but it was blocked by the barrier of spiritual light naturally emitted by Xiao Jin.

On the eagle's back, Ye Changge sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense extended, constantly monitoring the surroundings.

Although this area was not a dangerous place, he dared not be the least bit careless while carrying so many people.

At first, Xiao Zhi was incredibly excited, lying in Xiao Yurou's arms, eyes wide as she looked down, letting out an occasional exclamation of "Wow."

Xiao Caiyue sat quietly beside Ye Changge, occasionally chatting with him, but mostly just watching the mountains and rivers below fly past.

However, after a few days, Xiao Zhi had completely lost her energy. She lay listlessly on Xiao Yurou's shoulder, her eyes half-open and half-closed, muttering: "Sister Yurou... how much longer..."

Xiao Yurou was also exhausted, but she still forced herself to comfort her: "Almost there, almost there, just hold on a little longer."

Xiao Caiyue looked at her sister and Xiao Zhi, then looked at Ye Changge.

Ye Changge was still sitting cross-legged, his Divine Sense extended, his expression calm, but she could see the faint traces of exhaustion between his brows.

Controlling a spirit pet to fly while constantly staying vigilant of the surroundings for a long time would wear out even an iron-bodied person.

"Husband." Xiao Caiyue spoke softly, "Let me take over for a while. Although my injuries haven't fully healed, I can still control the spirit pet for a short time."

Ye Changge shook his head and said gently: "No need, I'll handle it. Your injuries haven't healed, so rest peacefully."

Xiao Caiyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but he gently took her hand.

"Be obedient."

Xiao Caiyue looked into his gentle yet firm eyes and finally nodded, saying no more.

Two more days passed.

The group finally passed by a city.

The city was not large, with low walls, and most of the people entering and leaving the city gates were Mortals.

Occasionally, there were a few Cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage, but their auras were weak.

Clearly, this was just an ordinary Mortal town.

Ye Changge looked down, then looked at Xiao Zhi, who was sleeping groggily in Xiao Yurou's arms, and sighed softly.

"Let's go down and rest."

He patted Xiao Jin's neck.

The giant golden eagle let out a clear cry and dove down, landing steadily in a secluded forest outside the city.

Ye Changge put away Xiao Jin and led the three of them into the city.

After entering the city, Ye Changge found an inn that looked reasonably clean and asked for two superior rooms.

"You all rest first." He looked at Xiao Yurou, "Xiao Zhi is tired, take good care of her."

Xiao Yurou nodded and carried Xiao Zhi into the adjacent room.

Ye Changge turned around, took Xiao Caiyue's hand, and pushed open the door to his own room.

As soon as the door closed—Ye Changge immediately pulled Xiao Caiyue into his arms, lowered his head, and captured those two soft, crimson lips.

"Mmm..."

Xiao Caiyue felt a familiar and overbearing aura rush at her, instantly engulfing her.

Her body went limp, and she collapsed into Ye Changge's arms, her hands weakly clinging to his shoulders, her face flushed like a peach blossom, breathing heavily.

However—just as Ye Changge wanted to take things further, Xiao Caiyue suddenly reached out and pressed against his chest.

"Wait... wait a moment, Husband!"

Her voice was breathless, but she still forced herself to push him away.

Ye Changge was slightly stunned and stopped.

Xiao Caiyue gasped for air, looked up, and gave him a charming, sultry glance.

In that glance, amidst the shifting of her eyes, there was reproach, shyness, and a hint of coquettishness that even she herself hadn't noticed.

Then, she took a deep breath, retrieved a set of Formation Plate and Formation Flag from her Storage Pouch, and began to set them up.

Ye Changge watched her actions, stunned at first, then chuckled.

He didn't urge her, just stood to the side with his hands behind his back, waiting patiently.

Xiao Caiyue's movements in setting up the array were extremely fast; as her slender fingers flew, one Formation Flag after another was precisely inserted into the designated positions.

A moment later, a faint spiritual light flashed, enveloping the entire room.

It isolated the aura, the sound, and all prying eyes.

Only then did Xiao Caiyue breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this was a Mortal town and Cultivators generally wouldn't appear, and Ye Changge's Divine Sense was constantly extended, if any Cultivator approached, he would definitely be able to detect it immediately.

But... she bit her lip.

Doing this kind of thing without setting up a grand array made her feel uneasy all over.

Moreover—her sister was right next door.

If she were heard... just the thought of it made her feel mortified.

"Is it done?"

Ye Changge's deep, gentle voice came from behind, carrying a hint of elusive amusement.

As soon as Xiao Caiyue turned around, she was pulled into his arms again.

This time, she did not push him away.

Ye Changge lowered his head and once again captured those two soft, crimson lips.

This time, it was no longer as urgent as before, but a gentle tracing and savoring.

Xiao Caiyue closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her hands clinging to his shoulders, responding clumsily but earnestly.

The kiss slid from the corners of her lips, landing on her brow, her eyelids, the tip of her nose, and finally back on the corners of her lips.

Clothing gradually fell away.

Xiao Caiyue felt her mind descend into Chaos; all thoughts vanished.

She only knew that she had once again collapsed into his arms, letting him do as he pleased.

"Mmm—"

A suppressed groan escaped from her delicate, exquisite nose.

Immediately, that sound was gently covered by a large hand.

"Caiyue, be quieter." Ye Changge whispered with a low chuckle in her ear, "Your sister is right next door."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Caiyue's already crimson cheeks turned completely red, and she glared at him fiercely.

That glare, however, had no deterrent power at all, instead revealing an indescribable coquettishness.

Ye Changge chuckled and let go of his hand.

A long time later.

The Immortal Cave finally returned to peace.

Xiao Caiyue lay limp in Ye Changge's arms, drenched in fragrant sweat, her hair disheveled, her face like a peach blossom, and the corners of her eyes still flushed with lingering redness.

She turned her head, looking to one side with dazed eyes, seemingly not yet recovered from the afterglow of the moment.

Ye Changge held her gently, his palm slowly stroking her smooth back, helping her calm her breathing.
