156: Chapter 156 Xu Yuehuan's Worries

Happy times are always short-lived.

Inside Baili Yunche's room, a faint fragrance lingered—a scent mixed with a maiden's body fragrance and spiritual flower incense, ambiguous and intoxicating.

Various clothes were scattered on the ground, intertwined in disarray.

Black silk stockings, white embroidered shoes, red dudous, purple and cyan skirts were scattered messily... as if silently recounting the madness and extravagance of the past three hours.

Three hours of intense exercise had completely exhausted Baili Yunche.

He lay flat on the wide bed, his chest rising and falling slightly, fine sweat droplets still lingering on his forehead.

Xu Yuehuan and Liu Ruyan flanked him on the left and right, completely naked as they nestled against his thighs.

Their two exquisite and curvaceous bodies glowed with a delicate pink luster unique to post-exercise, their skin surpassing snow and breakable by a breath, resembling two works of art carved from suet white jade.

Xu Yuehuan's dark hair was scattered across Baili Yunche's abdomen, tickling him and bringing a hint of numbness.

Liu Ruyan, like a lazy cat, curled up on his other side, her slender fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest.

Baili Yunche looked down at Xu Yuehuan on his thigh, tenderness welling up in his eyes.

Her clear and pretty face still retained an unyielding flush, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth carried a trace of satisfied yet weary smile, looking as tender and dripping as a flower.

The reason he swaggered and brought Xu Yuehuan into his room was naturally to retaliate against Ji Kun!

This fellow had repeatedly dispatched assassins from Yama Hall to hunt him down; if not for him turning peril into safety time and again, he might have already been killed by the assassins!

He wanted Ji Kun to see with his own eyes how Ji Kun's fiancée willingly lay in his arms.

This feeling was truly wonderful!

"Baili Yunche, that Ji Kun is a Disciple of the Ji Family, one of the Four Great Families of the imperial city. Now that I have broken off my engagement with him, what if the Ji Family comes looking for trouble..."

Xu Yuehuan raised her head, full of worry and anxiety, a thin layer of mist veiling her eyes.

She bit her lower lip, her pearly teeth leaving shallow marks on her soft lips, and her slender fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on Baili Yunche's arm.

Although their Xu Family was also a prominent Family in the imperial city, operating in the imperial capital for hundreds of years with a deep Foundation, the Old Ancestor with the highest cultivation within the clan was only at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, naturally incomparable to a Four Great Families with such profound heritage like the Ji Family.

The Ji Family was a behemoth guarded by a Soul Transformation God Realm Old Ancestor, with their influence deeply intertwined throughout the imperial city; a single word could determine the life or death of countless families.

Now, right in front of Ji Kun, she had walked straight into Baili Yunche's room; even a fool would know what had happened.

She had no way to clear her name anymore!

Without even needing the Ji Family to come knocking, her Xu Family probably wouldn't let her off easily either.

Because once she broke the engagement, the Family would inevitably suffer suppression from the Ji Family, their business swallowed up, their properties encroached upon, and they might even face the disaster of annihilation!

In a place like the imperial city where the weak were prey to the strong, the rise and fall of a Family often depended entirely on a single thought of the strong.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do either.

To let her marry Ji Kun—she was naturally unwilling.

On one hand, she also had deep feelings for Baili Yunche; this man had not only saved her, but was also her first and only man in this life. The bond of skin-to-skin intimacy had long tightly intertwined the fates of the two.

On the other hand, Ji Kun was a licentious and lawless person who had secretly raped and killed countless female Disciples. However, because he was the Saint, the Sect had always turned a blind eye and never severely punished him.

It was conceivable that if she married Ji Kun, she would definitely be neglected, bullied, and even reduced to a plaything, wishing she were dead!

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her eye sockets turned red, and tears swirled in her eyes.

Baili Yunche felt her fear, reached out to stroke Xu Yuehuan's head with a gentle motion.

He said in a deep voice: "Rest assured, I will definitely take responsibility to the end. You are my first woman, and the woman I have chosen for this lifetime. I will not abandon you and leave you to fend for yourself!"

"As for your Family, when we reach the imperial city, I will personally go to propose marriage. With me here, the Ji Family wouldn't dare do anything to you."

"If they dare harm a single hair of the Xu Family, I will surely make them pay a heavy price! I, Baili Yunche, mean what I say, with heaven and earth as my witness!"

His expression was firm and domineering, carrying an unquestionable resoluteness in his gaze.

That confident Aura made the gloom in Xu Yuehuan's heart dissipate quite a bit.

"That's right! Senior Sister Xu, you don't need to worry anymore. With Husband here, everything will be fine. Look at me; didn't I also worry about this and that before? Now, following Baili Yunche, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Liu Ruyan also comforted her softly, extending her slender jade hand to gently hold Xu Yuehuan's hand with a tender tone.

Unexpectedly, the two Saintesses who used to be mortal enemies and openly fought against each other within the Sect had now opened their hearts to serve the same husband.

How absurd! Yet how wondrous!

Matters in this Cultivation World were truly unpredictable.

Xu Yuehuan sighed softly, her voice carrying a trace of helplessness and hope:

"I hope so. Baili Yunche, you must never let me down; otherwise, I will truly have nowhere else to go."

"Rest assured," Baili Yunche comforted.

Immediately after, his gaze fell on Xu Yuehuan, and he frowned slightly.

"Yuehuan, your cultivation is still too low. The Cangxuan Assembly is crowded with experts, and a Golden Core Fourth Stage cultivation might not even make it into the top two hundred. Let your husband continue to help you make a Breakthrough!"

Back then, Xu Yuehuan had refined the three fire spirit fruits given by Baili Yunche and had already broken through to the Golden Core Fourth Stage.

But it was far from enough!

Baili Yunche had to make her cultivation soar rapidly so that she could achieve a good ranking in the Cangxuan Assembly and obtain more Opportunity and resources.

Afterward, Baili Yunche pushed Xu Yuehuan down once more, pinning her beneath him.

He circulated the Pure Yang Indestructible Scripture, and a warm, majestic surge of Pure Yang Qi gushed out from within his body, slowly channeling into Xu Yuehuan's body.

Xu Yuehuan also cooperatively guided the spiritual power within her. The two Auras blended together, transforming into a pure force that impacted her Realm barrier.

"Hn... Hnn..."

Xu Yuehuan couldn't help but let out faint whimpers. The pleasure brought by Dual Cultivation and the exhilaration of the Breakthrough intertwined, making her almost melt.

Her pretty face flushed, fine beads of fragrant sweat seeping from her forehead, flashing with an alluring luster under the candlelight.
