344: Ningning, I'll take you away

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Xuan's figure finally appeared within the Zhai family's territory.

Then, Chen Xuan took out the communication stone Zhai Ningning had given him and found that she had called him 999+ times. He was startled and quickly contacted her.

“Chen, Chen Xuan Gege! You finally replied to me! Where are you now?!” Zhai Ningning's voice was very urgent.

“Uh, Ningning, don't be anxious, what happened?”

“Chen Xuan Gege, don't you know?”

Chen Xuan: “?”

“It's the White Tiger Empire. Dai Dabai and Tang Sirui, in order to compete for your Qi Luck Peach Blossom, he was killed by Tang Sirui! Then I heard from the Family's news that you also disappeared as a result. I thought you were captured by Tang Sirui!”

“Ah? Me? I'm the fuse between them?”

Chen Xuan was also a bit confused after hearing Zhai Ningning's words.

He originally only wanted to make the White Tiger Empire hostile towards Tang Sirui and didn't involve himself at all, but now, he had become the so-called fuse.

“Yes, Chen Xuan Gege, I, I was so worried about you. Now everyone in the Cultivation World knows that you possess immense treasures. You, where exactly are you?!”

“Ningning, don't be anxious, listen to me. This matter is not what you think.”

Chen Xuan quickly comforted Zhai Ningning and briefly told her what had happened during this time, saying that he was inexplicably teleported to a very distant place.

Zhai Ningning believed him immediately.

The world is like this: if people are willing to believe you, they'll believe you can step on your right foot with your left foot and ascend to heaven. If they're not willing to believe, even if everything you say is true, they won't believe it.

“So that's how it is. In that case, it seems someone is scheming behind the scenes! Chen Xuan Gege, you, hurry and come find me. I will protect you!” Zhai Ningning's tone was full of worry.

“Ningning, don't be anxious. I'm already in your Zhai family's area. However, now that things have developed this way, don't tell the outside world about my whereabouts for now. Let's talk when we meet!”

“But, I, I'm locked inside the Family Secret Realm by Daddy, and I can't get out…”

“Is that so…”

“Chen Xuan Gege, do you have any good ideas?” Zhai Ningning asked.

“I'll come find you then. See you at home!” Saying that, Chen Xuan hung up the call, simply disguised himself, concealed his cultivation, and pretended to be a Loose Cultivator seeking refuge with the Zhai family.

After a series of processes, Chen Xuan successfully became an ordinary steward of the Zhai family and moved into the Zhai family's Small Secret Realm.

Too high cultivation is easy to be suspected, not high and not low is the easiest to enter.

After entering the Secret Realm, he then called Zhai Ningning and arranged to meet at a certain place.

As the Young Miss of the Family, Zhai Ningning naturally knew the most secret places, and soon the two successfully met.

“Chen Xuan Gege, is that you?” The girl looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her and asked somewhat uncertainly.

Chen Xuan waved his hand across his face, restoring his original appearance.

The moment Zhai Ningning saw him, she immediately pounced on him. This Chen Xuan was definitely not fake; her Heart-Nature had already begun to race.

“Chen Xuan Gege, I, I missed you so much!”

“Oh? How much did my precious Ningning miss me?”

“So much, so, so much, unbelievably so!” Zhai Ningning hugged Chen Xuan tightly, burying her head in his chest, smelling his familiar scent, and feeling all the unease in her Heart-Nature disappear.

Chen Xuan gently patted Zhai Ningning's back, comforting her.

“Alright, aren't I fine now? Don't worry anymore.”

Zhai Ningning raised her head, looked at Chen Xuan, and said firmly, “Chen Xuan Gege, don't leave me again in the future, okay? I, I really can't be without you.”

Chen Xuan nodded, smiling, and said, “Alright, from now on, I won't leave you. But your Daddy now seems to look down on me.”

“Ah?!” The girl became a little anxious.

“I, I don't know why Daddy suddenly changed. He clearly told me before that anything I liked was fine, but now, now he tells me not to look for you again!”

Zhai Ningning hugged Chen Xuan, her little pearls sparkling in her eyes.

Chen Xuan, hearing this, didn't show too much emotion.

This was too normal. If he thought about it from another perspective, if his daughter were to marry, he might also have this attitude; it's every father's protection for his daughter.

Coupled with Zhai Ningning's young age and pure Heart-Nature, she was easily swayed by outsiders, so doubting Chen Xuan was a very normal thing.

“Ningning, you don't have to worry too much. Actually, Uncle is also doing this for your own good. As long as I can prove myself in the future, I believe he will agree to us being together,” Chen Xuan comforted.

“Then, Chen Xuan Gege, will you, will you leave me?” Zhai Ningning looked at Chen Xuan with tearful, pitiful eyes.

“Silly girl, how could I leave you? No matter what happens, I will always be with you, protecting you. I want to marry you?” Chen Xuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Zhai Ningning's eyes.

Zhai Ningning, hearing this, finally broke into a smile through her tears. She threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms and hugged him tightly.

“Then, Ningning, my precious, do you want to go on an adventure with me? Let's leave the Zhai family first, and when our wings are fully grown, we'll come back to get married!”

“I'm willing, I'm willing… but I can't get out now!”

“I have a way to take you away. Just write a letter to Uncle.”

Zhai Ningning nodded. She quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan took the letter, tucked it into his embrace, then pulled Zhai Ningning into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely take you away from here, back to our Small Home, and then… will you give me a baby, okay?”

The girl was incredibly shy, simply hugging Chen Xuan tightly, feeling his warm embrace.

Since the Small World could not be opened within the Secret Realm, Chen Xuan directly devoured the spot where Zhai Ningning stood, taking both the ground and the person.

After all this was done, he then left the letter, re-disguised himself, and left this Secret Realm.

Originally, he had planned to leave a 'Tang' character, but then he thought better of it. After all, this was Zhai Ningning's Family, and if there were any losses in the future, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

...

When Chen Xuan left the Zhai family, his journey was smooth all the way, with green lights everywhere. There were none of the myriad difficulties and dangers typically found in novels, which made him feel a little empty.

He was not one of those troublesome protagonists after all!

“I took Ningning… so next, I should go back to the academy to see those two guys. Yan Xi's kill-line should be Zhai Ningning, so what's Ma Ji's kill-line?”

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, his figure gradually disappearing from the spot.
