338: Delivering on Promises

The next day, Chen Xuan woke up early and pulled Xiao Hongmei along to exercise.

"Husband, I, I am too tired, please, please just let me off!"

When Chen Xuan heard Xiao Hongmei beg for mercy, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes.

He said softly, "How can that be, wife? Physical exercise is of utmost importance; we must persevere."

Although Xiao Hongmei was already panting heavily from exhaustion, under Chen Xuan's encouragement, she gritted her teeth and continued to follow along with the exercises.

After some time, Xiao Hongmei finally completed her morning workout.

She collapsed onto the ground, while Chen Xuan gently picked her up and carried her into the room.

Chen Xuan placed Xiao Hongmei on the bed and gently massaged her tired body.

Xiao Hongmei felt Chen Xuan's thoughtfulness, and her heart was filled with happiness.

"You, you just like to torment people, you bad guy!"

"Hehe, this is just the beginning." Chen Xuan had a mischievous smile on his face, but his hands didn't stop moving. "Look at your figure, tsk tsk tsk... If you don't Cultivate, you'll really become a hag!"

"I am a Cultivator, how could I become a hag!"

Xiao Hongmei was quite angered by him, but she couldn't break free, so she could only glare at him fiercely.

Chen Xuan suddenly hugged her and whispered softly in her ear, "Alright, wife, I know you're tired. How about I make you something delicious to replenish your energy later?"

Xiao Hongmei's expression softened a bit, and she chided, "That's more like it."

After they finished exercising, the two went to the Daoist temple's kitchen to make breakfast together.

Although it was simple mountain delicacies, it was filled with a warm atmosphere.

"Husband, when... when are we leaving this place?"

After a night of conversation, Xiao Hongmei had learned about Chen Xuan's experiences during this period and also knew that he had come this time precisely to take her away.

"No rush, my promise to you has not yet been fulfilled."

"Promise? What promise? Why don't I remember?"

Chen Xuan leaned down and whispered something softly into Xiao Hongmei's ear, and her cheeks grew redder and redder, even to the point of dripping blood.

"No, no, no, it's too dangerous. I, I don't want your promise anymore. Anyway... it's just not going to happen. You're just a bad guy!"

Chen Xuan gently kissed Xiao Hongmei's earlobe and softly said, "Trust me, nothing will happen."

Xiao Hongmei's heart beat even faster; she knew that what Chen Xuan decided was hard to change, but she was still worried about her and his safety.

"I, I must be possessed!"

Leaving that remark behind, Xiao Hongmei left in a huff.

That evening, at Xiao Hongmei's Daoist temple, Zhang Wei was invited to come.

"Madam, may I ask why you invited me over so late at night?" Zhang Wei looked at the exquisitely beautiful Xiao Hongmei, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

"How many Qi Luck Peach Blossom do you have left in your possession?"

"Uh... well, there are none left." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Wei's face.

Three months had passed, and the few Peach Blossoms Chen Xuan had given them earlier had long been consumed by their Family members.

"Hmph, I knew it!" Xiao Hongmei's face hardened.

"If it weren't for me, through affection and our child, still having some left, the benefits we, as husband and wife, received wouldn't even be as much as those old fogeys! How are you doing as a Clan Chief!?"

"This..."

"Now Chen Xuan has been abducted by those people from the White Tiger Empire, and if we still want Qi Luck Peach Blossom, there's no longer any channel!"

Zhang Wei remained silent.

"Never mind, I still have a relatively abundant supply of Peach Blossoms. I'll save the good ones for our child; you can take these for your use!"

Xiao Hongmei waved her jade hand lightly, and several green Peach Blossoms appeared on the table.

"This..."

"If I tell you to take them, then take them. Am I going to let an outsider get this benefit?"

"Then this husband will accept them with shame!" Zhang Wei was not ambiguous; since Xiao Hongmei gave them, he would take them.

"Eat one now to increase your Luck, so you and I can both pursue the Great Dao together!"

Zhang Wei's eyes instantly lit up.

He picked up a Peach Blossom of Fortune and chewed it in his mouth.

Immediately, a mysterious aura spread throughout his body, and he felt his Luck continuously strengthening.

However, he did not know that all of this was being watched by a "mysterious person."

The mysterious person's lips curved into an imperceptible smile, and he secretly calculated his next plan...

At the same time, Xiao Hongmei also ate a Peach Blossom of Fortune.

However, her complexion became extremely rosy, looking utterly delectable.

"Madam, then what about us now...?"

"Don't rush yet; first, completely absorb the power of the Peach Blossom of Fortune!"

"Yes, yes, I was too hasty. I will absorb it now!" Zhang Wei said, then began to meditate.

As soon as he sat down, he felt his whole body light and airy, as if he was about to Ascend.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan slowly emerged from the shadows.

"You, you're such a big scoundrel! How did I fall for your trick...?" Xiao Hongmei looked at Chen Xuan slowly approaching her, then looked at Zhang Wei, who was deeply Cultivating, and felt as if she couldn't even stand steadily.

It was the next day again.

Zhang Wei slowly woke up from the ground.

"Where am I...?" He paused for a moment, then remembered everything from last night!

"Damn it! How did I get so engrossed in Cultivating that I got lost? This is bad; Hongmei must be angry!"

Zhang Wei immediately got up, went to the door of Xiao Hongmei's room, and gently knocked on the door.

Zhang Wei waited anxiously for Xiao Hongmei to open the door, his mind already prepared with various apologies, but the door never opened.
