266: Even older than me!

“Alas!” Chen Xuan suddenly sighed.

“Wh-what’s wrong?”

“Actually, just now, after I absorbed Lin Rou, I learned a lot of information. She really didn’t lie to us. Even someone at the Late Stage of Great Ascension Stage wouldn’t be able to leave this Realm… So I don’t know how to leave this Secret Realm either!”

“Ah?! H-how could this be?!”

And my absorption of her was actually to ensure our survival in the future. After all, if the Heavenly Dao truly comes, it will have to make me release the Life Divine Tree to harvest all living beings. This gives us a bargaining chip for survival!

“So, my husband, you’ve considered so much…”

Qinglan Jade was now in a semi-moist, emotional state, so she was completely taken aback by Chen Xuan’s bluff.

“Therefore, there’s a very high chance that we might never be able to leave this Realm again,” Chen Xuan said dejectedly.

Seeing this, Qinglan Fairy felt extremely heartbroken. She quickly comforted him:

“N-no worries! As long as we are alive, anything is possible. Who can truly know what the future holds?!”

“Do you really think so, my dear?” Chen Xuan hugged Qinglan Fairy, moved.

“Mm!” Qinglan Fairy nodded firmly.

“But I’ve drifted for half my life and haven’t had a single child. I’ve truly let down my parents back home!”

“Husband, don’t worry, I am your wife! I… I can do it!” Qinglan Fairy quickly said.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her intelligence returned to its peak.

‘Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, what was I just talking nonsense about?! How could I… And I’m already at the Great Ascension Stage cultivation, so it’s impossible for me to get pregnant! Qinglan Jade, what are you doing?!’

And Chen Xuan was waiting for exactly that from Qinglan Jade.

“Is that true, my wife?”

“I…”

‘He called me his wife! What should I do?!’

“Excellent! With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?” Without waiting for Qinglan Fairy to refuse, Chen Xuan picked her up and carried her into a cave. Then, he set up a Formation and began discussing their grand plan.

“Ding, congratulations…”

“Go away!”

…

Meanwhile, with Tang Sirui.

“This Peach Blossom of Chen Xuan’s is really useful! Ever since I took it, all sorts of treasures in this Small World seem to be coming to me! Sometimes, I just sit on the ground and still stumble upon a few rare Spiritual Plants! If I had known, I would have used it much sooner!”

“Indeed. Although we were robbed once before, even so, the good things we’ve found are still astonishing!” Dai Dabai also exclaimed.

This Small World had clearly never been explored by anyone; treasures were practically everywhere.

And with their temporarily increased Luck, their treasure hunting now was like adding wings to a tiger! Among all of them, Tang Sirui found the most treasures.

However, he sometimes felt that something wasn’t quite right. For instance, the inexplicable spitting of blood earlier, and just now, his vision went black. He always felt as if something that belonged to him was slowly moving away.

But this feeling was very strange, and he couldn’t quite explain it.

“Alright, let’s conclude our treasure hunt here for now. I have a premonition that there’s an unparalleled Opportunity on top of this mountain. We absolutely cannot miss it!” Tang Sirui swept away his gloom and said to the rest of the Monster Squad.

“Alright, but we’ve been in here for so long. I wonder what that guy Chen Xuan is doing. He hasn’t come to find us proactively. Could he have run into that masked person?” Dai Dabai was a bit worried.

After all, Chen Xuan was a part of his meticulous plan. If anything unexpected truly happened, that would be the greatest loss for him!!

“He should be fine. After all, he’s accompanied by someone from the Qinglan Family. I imagine he’s probably immersed in a soft embrace right now!” Yan Xi said casually.

“Alright, maybe that person from the Qinglan Family has also taken him up the mountain. Let’s not dawdle anymore and go up the mountain first! Chen Xuan also has his own Qi Luck Peach Blossom, so he definitely won’t be in trouble!”

“Th-that’s true. Then let’s go up the mountain first!”

After an unknown amount of time, Qinglan Fairy was now submissively massaging Chen Xuan’s shoulders, completely resembling an obedient young wife.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan didn’t think so.

This Qinglan Jue was even more insane than he had imagined. He was like a naive boy, foolishly opening Pandora’s box, causing her to become uncontrollable. Then, he actually couldn’t defeat her and was defeated!

Although his cultivation had reached Soul Transformation 8th Stage because of it, he wasn’t happy at all.

“You… you really can’t judge a book by its cover!”

“Th-this… you can’t blame me, husband. It-it’s all your fault!” Qinglan Fairy said softly, without any Aura.

“No, how could I lose in something that’s my specialty? I must win against you!”

“Alright, alright, we really should go out. Otherwise, all the good treasures here will be taken by others! Wait… wait until we go out, your concubine… your concubine will come find you again, husband!”

“Alright, I guess. You said it, though.”

“Mm-hmm!” Qinglan Fairy smiled sweetly and continued to massage Chen Xuan’s shoulders.

“System, what reward were you going to give me just now?” Chen Xuan began to ask the System in his mind.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for forming an Alliance with Qinglan Fairy, Qinglan Jade, the wife of Old Ancestor Qingshan, who is also a friend of the Child of Luck. Reward: 50000 Heaven's Mandate Value, valkyrie fragment * 1, jianmu fruit Fragment * 1, direct Foundation stabilization, and 50 lottery draws.”

Instantly, Chen Xuan’s Aura became much heavier.

“Direct Foundation stabilization, that’s really good! I’ve broken through several Realms in the past few days, and my cultivation was indeed a bit unstable. Now that you’ve made up for it, it’s truly perfect; I don’t have to waste any more time!”

“valkyrie fragment, jianmu fruit Fragment… the quality this time is actually so high! And… huh?? System, what did you say?!” Chen Xuan suddenly found a blind spot.

“Qing… Old Ancestor Qingshan’s wife, Qinglan Fairy??” Chen Xuan’s body stiffened.

And Qinglan Jade naturally noticed this change.

“What’s wrong, husband? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?” she asked gently.

‘Th-this… how could she be Qinglan Fairy? Isn’t she at the Great Ascension Stage cultivation? Why would she be willing to lie low with me and even let me bully her in various ways?!’ Chen Xuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He thought he was a schemer, but he didn’t realize that Qinglan Fairy, with her captivating beauty, was even more of a schemer than him!
