182: Qian Muli (picture)

"What was my husband doing? Why did he take so long to come back?" She Jingxi pouted unhappily when she saw Chen Xuan return.

"I did something very important, but now, I have something even more important to do!" Chen Xuan ran over with a grin and hugged She Jingxi.

"What, what is it?!" She Jingxi's face flushed crimson as she looked at Chen Xuan, everything seemingly unsaid.

"That is to send my treasure back to the Secret Realm!"

"Ah?!" She Jingxi was greatly disappointed.

"Otherwise, what did you want to do?" Chen Xuan had a mischievous smile.

Seeing Chen Xuan like this, She Jingxi naturally understood that he was teasing her! So, she turned her pretty face away, her delicate chin slightly raised, pouting and not wanting to bother with Chen Xuan.

However, Chen Xuan didn't mind. Instead, he grinned and leaned closer to She Jingxi, looking at her slightly puffed cheeks, and couldn't help but pinch them.

"Alright, don't be mad, little snake spirit." Chen Xuan gently stroked She Jingxi's hair, "Although I really had something very important to do when I came back this time, I've changed my mind now. I'm going to use Three Immortals Returning to the Cave!"

She Jingxi turned her head, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She glanced at Chen Xuan, "What, what important matter? Why don't you, husband, take care of that first!"

She clearly understood the power of Chen Xuan's Move and immediately gave up the idea of sticking close to him.

"It's too late to regret now!" Chen Xuan smiled wickedly.

"Wuwuwu…"

...

After a long while, She Jingxi lazily lay in Chen Xuan's arms: "Can you tell me what it was about now?"

Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Actually, it's nothing, just a small secret. You'll know in the future."

She Jingxi frowned, "Secret? We?! I'm already your woman, what's there to hide from me? I tell you everything!"

"Hehe, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just that if I tell you now... it'll be easy for you all to gang up on me!"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he said no more and carried She Jingxi back into the Blue Star Secret Realm.

"Ah, I haven't even put on my clothes yet..."

"We're all family now, what's the big deal? It's not like we haven't played together before!"

"You're so annoying!"

...

After settling She Jingxi, Chen Xuan quickly arrived at Bi Xiao Fairy's location.

There was still a big dish here that hadn't been eaten yet.

Upon seeing Bi Xiao, he found her staring motionlessly at Qian Muli, who had already emerged from the jade pendant, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

And when Chen Xuan saw Qian Muli, he was also stunned. Because Qian Muli's appearance was not the beautiful mature woman he had imagined, but... a young girl who looked about his age!

At this moment, Qian Muli was wearing a blue ancient-style dress, its hem fluttering lightly and gracefully, like a Fairy in the water.

Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders, appearing exceptionally soft and beautiful. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her eyes were as bright as stars, making people unable to help but take another look.

The blue dress accentuated her fair skin, like a blooming lotus, beautiful and pure.

Qian Muli also saw Chen Xuan at this moment, and upon seeing Chen Xuan staring at her blankly, a blush couldn't help but spread across her face. She gently averted her gaze, her fingers nervously fiddling with the hem of her dress.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also reacted and stepped forward to ask: "Hmm? What's going on with you two?"

Bi Xiao, seeing this, extended her slender jade finger and angrily pointed at Qian Muli.

If she could speak, she might have already started cursing.

"This, this elder sister, please calm your anger. Everything that happened just now was Muli's fault. Muli is willing to pay the price for it!" Qian Muli immediately trembled with fear when she saw Bi Xiao angrily pointing at her.

In front of Bi Xiao, she truly dared not show any temper or personality.

"Who are you? Why are you in my Secret Realm!" Chen Xuan also said to Qian Muli.

Although he already knew who the woman in front of him was, he still had to go through this process.

"Young Master Chen Xuan, please don't worry. I will explain everything clearly to you, but now I need to get this elder sister's forgiveness first!"

"Hmm? You know who I am?"

"Of course I know. Actually, I am Zhao Tianming's Revered Master. I usually hide in the dark and have a good understanding of Young Master Chen Xuan! I know you are an upright, kind, honest, and generous person! I just didn't expect that you would even possess an entire Secret Realm!" Qian Muli explained the whole story.

But she voluntarily exposed some things.

"You are Zhao Tianming's Master?" Chen Xuan instantly became "alert."

"Young Master Chen Xuan, don't be nervous. I, I am a good person!" Qian Muli didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"A good person? How can I believe that? I suppose my old brother Tianming's Demonic Technique was taught by you, wasn't it? You're lying to me!" Chen Xuan deliberately said.

He found that this woman seemed to have little contact with people, and her social experience was very poor.

"Young Master Chen Xuan, I, I really didn't lie to you. Zhao Tianming's Demonic Technique was not taught by me. He gained the Blood Yang Body by accident during an adventure in a certain place! I just didn't expect that he wouldn't use this Physique on the Righteous Path, and even used me to save his life!" Qian Muli was a bit anxious, fearing that Chen Xuan would misunderstand her.

"Is that so? Then how can you prove it?" Chen Xuan deliberately pressed.

"I, I can show you my Cultivation Technique, that way you can prove my innocence!" Qian Muli said hastily.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly: "Good, then show it first!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Muli immediately sat cross-legged and activated her Cultivation Technique. Although she was only a Soul Body at this time, she could still demonstrate it.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, observed carefully from the side. He didn't find anything unusual.

"System, what kind of Cultivation Technique is this?"

"Ding, this is the 'Qianhua Art', a Heaven Rank low-grade Cultivation Technique!"

"Heaven Rank! That's a bit Heaven-Defying. This Mountain and Sea Realm only has Profound Rank at most! I haven't even seen Earth Rank!"

"Host, don't be surprised. This Cultivation Technique is miles apart from your 'Tao Te Ching'!"

"Uh, you're right, they really aren't on the same level!"

"Now, now Young Master Chen Xuan, can you believe me? I can swear to heaven, I am definitely not a Demonic Cultivator!"

"Not a Demonic Cultivator? Then how could you teach a disciple who sacrifices his Master but not himself? Using you to save his life? Are you a jade pendant spirit?"

"N-naturally not!" Qian Muli's pretty face flushed upon hearing this.

"Zhao Tianming's behavior is due to my improper education. When I recover in the future, I will personally clean up the sect! Regarding my identity...

I am the Saintess of Qianhua Sacred Ground in the Upper Realm. While I was out on a training excursion, I was harmed by a villain's scheme. So, I self-destructed my Physical Body and my Soul was hidden in a jade pendant in advance. By a stroke of Opportunity, I came to this Mountain and Sea Realm!" Qian Muli revealed everything directly.
