413: Get used to it

Just like that, three days passed in a flash.

In these short three days, Chen Xuan kept his promise and did not go back on his word; instead, he earnestly fulfilled the vow he had made.

Since both of them were cultivators and had already reached the State of Bigu, they did not need to eat or sleep.

Therefore, in these three days, most of their time was spent conversing with each other and savoring the uniquely strange cola drink that Chen Xuan treasured.

“What an unforgettable three days, Mengjie. I imagine you will remember this forever, won’t you?”

“Yes, Master, this humble one remembers.”

“Hmm, the three-day period is up. You can go back now. Next time, be sure to remember not to steal things from others again!”

“Yes, Master!” Hua Mengjie bowed and then walked out of Chen Xuan’s Immortal Cave.

However, the moment Hua Mengjie stepped out, Chen Xuan sensed a change in her aura.

“Oh? You even had a Breakthrough? Congratulations, congratulations!”

“Thank you.”

Hua Mengjie’s demeanor once again became cool and aloof, her eyes bright and sparkling with wisdom, just as they were when the two first met.

The next moment, Chen Xuan was directly sent flying.

“Damn it! What did you do to me?! These past few months… you’ve been doing this to me step by step!” Hua Mengjie’s eyes flashed with anger.

“System, what’s going on with this woman? Why do I feel like she’s become normal?” Chen Xuan lay on the ground, grimacing.

“Ding, because the host gave her too many things to improve her cultivation, she suddenly had a Breakthrough, breaking the Heavenly Dao’s plan, and temporarily recovered her state. It will be fine in a while, the host does not need to worry.”

“What do you mean I don’t need to worry? Didn’t you see this wretched woman trying to kill me?”

“Ding, the host can already kill Tang Haotian, so Hua Mengjie is naturally no match!”

“…”

“Li Qingfeng… he was lying to me!”

“My disciple Ye Xingchen… there’s something fishy!”

“And you, Chen Xuan…” Hua Mengjie clutched her head in pain.

“This feeling… it’s back! You… help me!”

After inexplicably saying that, Hua Mengjie no longer seemed to be in pain.

“Chen, Chen Xuan! I didn’t do it on purpose, are you alright?!” Seeing Chen Xuan in a sorry state on the ground, Hua Mengjie quickly went to help him up.

“Don’t come closer, I can get up myself! You go!”

“I’m, I’m sorry! I didn’t know what was going on just now, I just inexplicably attacked you.”

“Cough cough, it’s fine, I forgive you.”

“Mhm, mhm, it’s good that you’re not angry! But… you’ve been setting a trap for me these past few days, haven’t you? Do you like me? I, I’m telling you, even though you already… but I still like Brother Qingfeng!”

Clearly, at this moment, Hua Mengjie had returned to her intelligence-reduced state, though she hadn’t lost her memory.

“Yes, yes, everything you said is right. I’m fine here, you can go back.” Chen Xuan urged.

He wasn’t really afraid of fighting, but if he started a fight here, all his plans would be impossible to implement.

“Mhm, from now on, besides coming to exchange for Peach Blossom, I… I will never help you clean again. You… find someone else! Don’t ever think of setting a trap for me again!”

After saying this resolutely, Hua Mengjie left without looking back.

Watching Hua Mengjie leave, Chen Xuan then murmured to himself:

“Find someone else? But only you are the most foolish one… Now you’ve said such final words, but I guarantee, you will come back to beg me.”

After speaking, he patted the dust off his body and returned to his Immortal Cave, beginning to use his Peach Blossom skill to absorb Li Qingfeng’s Luck.

At the same time, he activated the “enhanced version” of the Life Peach Blossom he had given him, beginning to absorb his life force.

Time flew by, and another month passed. In this month, nothing happened, and Hua Mengjie had been hiding on her Qingfeng Mountain, not going out, presumably to stabilize her cultivation.

One day, Chen Xuan was drinking tea in his Immortal Cave when he suddenly heard a voice.

“Boy, was it you who used a corner of the Nine Bends Yellow River’s power?”

Chen Xuan immediately stood up.

“May I ask if it is the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly?”

“Oh? You even know my name, Bi Xiao must have told you, right?”

The next moment, a wisp of green smoke appeared, and a defiant young man with black hair and red clothes appeared before Chen Xuan.

The defiant young man with black hair and red clothes had a handsome face, with an arrogant air between his brows. His eyes were deep, as if they could see through people’s hearts, making one dare not look directly at him.

Around his neck hung a string of beads threaded with a silver chain, each bead shimmering with light. Over his shoulders was a golden-red cape, fluttering in the wind. He stepped on Wind-Fire Wheels and held a Fire-Pointed Spear, like a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world.

Well, this was indeed a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world.

“Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, I am Chen Xuan, it is my honor to meet an Immortal Master.” Chen Xuan bowed respectfully.

Nezha smiled slightly and asked, “Boy, you have Bi Xiao’s aura on you. Where is she now?”

“Immortal Master, please wait, I will bring her out now!”

Chen Xuan said, and then brought Bi Xiao out of his Small World.

“So it’s a Small World, no wonder you always had Bi Xiao’s aura on you, yet I could never find her.”

Bi Xiao came out, and seeing Nezha, she also smiled slightly.

“You came so fast, I calculated that you would still need a few more days!”

“Hehe, isn’t it because Brother Zhao over there was worried? So I rushed over as fast as I could. But Bi Xiao, you really did gain a Physical Body and escaped the Investiture of the Gods List!”

Nezha looked at Bi Xiao with a face full of amazement.

“Watch your words.”

“If there’s anything, let’s talk inside the Small World.”

“Alright.”

Soon, the three of them entered the Small World together.

“Tsk, your Small World is quite good. It even has time acceleration!”

“Oh, it’s nothing, just good Luck!”

“Alright, you two don’t need to talk about that anymore. Come, Nezha, let me introduce you, this is my husband, Chen Xuan.”

“Husband, this is Nezha, you know him.”

“What? Hu, husband?!” Nezha was stunned. He truly couldn’t understand how Bi Xiao could have taken a liking to this Lower Realm person.

“Mhm, this… is our daughter. Get to know her! Come, say hello to Uncle Nezha!”

“Hello, Uncle Nezha!” The little girl obediently bowed.

Nezha was dumbfounded, then he quickly reacted.

He couldn’t help it, he was used to it.

The Jade Emperor’s sister, the Jade Emperor’s niece, the Jade Emperor’s several daughters… he had seen and heard too much.

He truly found the thoughts of immortal maidens difficult to comprehend.

“This… Uncle came in a hurry and didn’t expect the situation to be like this. Take this small golden brick first. This is a replica from Uncle’s golden brick, and its power is one-third of my original golden brick. Little girl, you can use it for now!”

“Thank you, Uncle!”

“My daughter has Innate Dao Physique level talent, she’s incredibly powerful! How about you consider taking her as your disciple?” Bi Xiao looked at Nezha.

“Me? How would I teach anyone? Wouldn’t that mislead others? And although I am the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, I have other duties, protecting children is also my responsibility, I’m too busy to even handle that!”

“Alright then!” Bi Xiao heard this and no longer insisted.

“Alright, now that I’ve seen that you’re fine, Bi Xiao, and have even reshaped your body, there’s nothing more for me here…” Nezha said, wanting to leave.
