486: The relationship improves, Qingshan sets a trap
"Does my wife know about the famous immortal brew in the Immortal Realm?" Old Ancestor Qingshan asked with a smile.
Immortal Qinglan frowned slightly upon hearing this, and after a moment of thought, she replied, "You're not suggesting that you plan to get Chen Xuan drunk, and then, while he's disoriented, make an agreement with him to exchange houses, are you?"
"Exactly! So, these next few days, we must treat Chen Xuan well and earn his complete trust!"
"When did my husband start scheming against others like this?"
"Immortal Qinglan, you're mistaken! Chen Xuan is my good brother, and I would never harm him. But I have reliable information that the assessors will arrive soon!"
"And my brother is only at the first level of the Immortal Realm. Tell me, how can he possibly pass the assessment?"
"This... Chen Xuan indeed might not be able to pass the assessment!" Immortal Qinglan shook her head.
"Therefore, your husband plans to cherish this Opportunity. After all, with my Tianxian Realm cultivation, I will definitely be selected. Once I'm selected and have established myself over there, I will naturally bring you and Chen Xuan out. At that time, my brother will not lack any Opportunities!"
"So that's how it is. I misunderstood my husband." Immortal Qinglan said.
"Husband and wife, why say such things! Well, there's not much time left. You should also go back to your room and rest. You have to go to work tomorrow."
"Mm."
Watching Immortal Qinglan's graceful and ethereal figure enter the room, Old Ancestor Qingshan's tightly strained face finally relaxed, but then a chilling, sinister smile appeared.
"Hmph, Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, I'll let you live a little longer for now. When I leave this place to venture outside and gain control of sufficiently powerful resources and forces, that will be the day of your death!"
In his heart, no one was worthy of being in the same room as his woman, let alone living together.
Even though the Cultivation Technique Immortal Qinglan cultivated was extremely special and made it impossible for her to have contact with men, he would never allow any man to be so close to her.
As for Lin Yaoyao, with Immortal Qinglan, a True Immortal Late Stage Cultivator, supervising her, she wouldn't do anything out of line.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Old Ancestor Qingshan's eyes, and then he returned to his own room.
...
Seven days passed in a flash.
During this time, Old Ancestor Qingshan personally invited Chen Xuan to his room every day.
And when Chen Xuan stepped through that door, he was greeted not only by Old Ancestor Qingshan but also by the warm hospitality of Lin Yaoyao and Immortal Qinglan and the others.
They would either sit together, drinking tea and discussing the Dao, or exchanging insights and experiences from their respective Cultivation paths.
Through these interactions, the distance between them continuously closed, gradually moving from initial unfamiliarity to becoming well-acquainted.
As the days passed, this sense of familiarity deepened, and their relationship became more intimate, even allowing for playful teasing of each other.
Especially Immortal Qinglan; there was one time he accidentally touched her, and this woman's face flushed crimson, as if she had lost her Qi, which made the experienced Chen Xuan notice many things.
That day, Chen Xuan was working when he saw Old Ancestor Qingshan walking towards him again.
"Brother, you're not going to invite me to your house again, are you? My sister-in-law hasn't been able to work properly these past few days!"
"Hehe, it's not easy to have a fellow countryman in the same area. Your brother here is just happy! Come sit again today!"
"No, no, going for these two days is enough. How can I go every day? It's not appropriate!" Chen Xuan flatly refused.
Because of the title, he had only been tempted these past few days, and it was very uncomfortable every day.
He had originally thought of entering the Small World, but then he discovered that the space here was very strange. As the "Heavenly Dao," he could perceive the situation of the Small World, use its power, and freely change the shape of the world, but he simply couldn't teleport people. He couldn't enter, and others couldn't come out.
Chen Teng was summoned when he had just undergone Ascension, and there was nothing wrong with him there. As soon as he entered the work area, he... So Chen Xuan guessed that only the work and housing areas had their space locked, and other places were fine.
That damned Time Immortal King actually sealed his "space."
"Oh, brother, what are you saying! Today, your brother has something good prepared for you!" Old Ancestor Qingshan said.
"What good thing? If it's too precious, then I don't want it!"
"Oh, it's not really anything good, but it's the famous immortal brew in the Immortal Realm!"
"immortal brew? Is it some good wine? Brother, you don't know, I love to drink!" Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Hehe, then you're lucky, kid! However, this wine is good wine. Even Immortals will get drunk from it. I wonder about your drinking capacity, brother..."
"Hmph, brother, don't look down on me. Tonight, your brother will let you know the might of my Immortal of Wine!"
"Good, good, good! Excellent! Then it's settled, tonight, see you there!"
"Alright, see you there!"
...
That night, Chen Xuan knocked on Old Ancestor Qingshan's door, and it was Immortal Qinglan, wearing an apron, who opened it.
"I say, Brother Chen, you're too late! You'll have to drink three penalty cups later. Come in and sit down quickly."
As Lin Yaoyao's voice sounded, Chen Xuan saw her quickly come to the door and pat Immortal Qinglan's little bottom, who was searching for slippers there.
Chen Xuan only heard a crisp slap, and then Immortal Qinglan trembled slightly.
Immortal Qinglan let out an "Ah," straightened her body, and after giving Lin Yaoyao a glare, she said, "You dead demoness, you're going to die! In front of my brother, you actually dare to hit me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Evidently, due to Chen Xuan's frequent visits these days, the relationship between Lin Yaoyao and Immortal Qinglan had also rapidly improved. Although there was still a rift between them, everything seemed very natural at this point.
