72: It's really coming

This Princess is truly difficult to serve. Just now, she wouldn't let me explain, and now she wants me to explain! If it weren't for your Golden Core cultivation, I would definitely let you know what Nightmare Entanglement is!

So, Chen Xuan patiently explained everything.

"You're saying someone kidnapped you into my Royal Secret Realm? And they want to stir up conflict between my Zhou Family and Xuan Yang Sect?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what happened. The person in black disappeared after bringing me into the Secret Realm."

"Why would they disappear? Wouldn't it be better if they just killed you directly?" Zhou Jingqi immediately spotted the flaw in Chen Xuan's words.

Moreover, Chen Xuan had cultivation.

"Uh... I'm not entirely sure about that. I don't know what he was thinking," Chen Xuan said.

"..."

Zhou Jingqi stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide, looking at Chen Xuan with great suspicion.

Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's answer!

"Ah? No, I didn't expect such a person to exist, Chen Xuan, you're so lucky!" Zhou Jingyi listened nervously, and only after learning that Chen Xuan was fine did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I'm so lucky!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, stroking the young girl's head.

"Alright, I understand your situation. The Royal Family will handle it. Now, please leave. I will send someone to escort you back to the Zhao Family," Zhou Jingqi said coldly.

"Uh, about that..."

"About what? Are you suggesting you want to stay overnight with Jingyi?"

"No, that's not allowed!" Zhou Jingyi also blushed, making an X shape with her arms. (Refer to the Purple Yam Senior Sister)

"That's not it. It's just that I rarely get to come here, so shouldn't Jingyi take me out to play?" Chen Xuan explained, mainly because he wanted to take Gao Yueting with him.

"You really do have an ulterior motive! Now, leave immediately!" Zhou Jingqi's gaze was sharp.

"Alright, alright, don't be impulsive, I'm leaving now! I don't really want to stay in this water anyway." With that, Chen Xuan was about to get up.

"Then, I won't stay here either. I'll take Chen Xuan for a stroll!" Seeing Chen Xuan stand up, Zhou Jingyi also wanted to follow.

But just then, a pleasant voice came: "Is Jingqi in there? This Revered Master has also come to bathe!"

"Revered Master, Revered Master? Why are you here?" Hearing this voice, Zhou Jingqi's expression changed. She quickly pulled Zhou Jingyi, looked at Chen Xuan, and whispered, "Quick, hide!"

"I don't think I need to hide. It's just so open and... glug glug glug..."

Chen Xuan hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Jingqi pressed him into the water.

"Open and above board, indeed! If my Revered Master sees that I haven't been Cultivating and am with you, Chen Xuan, I'll be finished!" After saying that, she even extended her jade foot and stomped on Chen Xuan to vent her frustration.

After stomping, she quickly pulled Zhou Jingyi and hid behind a rockery.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan also quickly followed and hid.

Immediately, familiar white long skirts came into view as two women gracefully descended from the air, landing by the spiritual spring.

One had an exquisite appearance and elegant demeanor, like a Fairy.

The other had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, skin as white as jade, and a graceful figure, like a lotus emerging from water, refreshingly beautiful and otherworldly.

Both women had flowing long hair and graceful figures, exuding the charm of mature women in every gesture.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've bathed!" Lin Yunhan said with a smile to the other beauty.

However, the other person was clearly disinterested, her face showing a hint of longing.

Seeing her friend silent, Lin Yunhan directly pulled her along and, with elegant steps, entered the spiritual spring.

"Jingqi, what's going on today? Why didn't you come to greet Revered Master?" She gently stepped with her lotus feet, slowly walking towards where Zhou Jingqi was.

"Quick, my Revered Master is here, you quickly hide!" Zhou Jingqi saw Chen Xuan following her, pulled him over, and then pushed him into the water again, while she and Zhou Jingyi leaned against the rockery.

Having been pushed into the water twice by this woman, Chen Xuan was quite annoyed. He grabbed Zhou Jingqi's small foot underwater and transmitted his voice, "Where can I hide? Hiding like this will definitely be discovered. It's better to be open and... glug glug..."

Zhou Jingqi didn't hear a single word of Chen Xuan's voice transmission.

She only knew that something belonging to her had been touched by Chen Xuan. This was an experience she had never had before. As a reflex, she immediately stepped on Chen Xuan's foot, her cheeks turning red at the same time.

"This Princess warns you, if you dare to move again, I will kill you!" She transmitted her voice fiercely.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to conceal his Qi.

...

"Oh, so you're here. I called you just now, why didn't anyone answer?"

After Lin Yunhan pulled Han Wanqing to their side, she comfortably leaned against a rock, enjoying the nourishment of the spring water.

"Uh, just now, I was thinking!"

"Yes, Big Sister was thinking!"

"Then if Jingqi was thinking, what were you doing?" Lin Yunhan looked at Zhou Jingyi out of the corner of her eye.

These two little Princesses, their lies were too amateurish, couldn't she see right through them!

However, she didn't intend to expose them. Little disciples, it was normal for them to have little secrets, as long as it wasn't about love between a man and a woman, or hiding some man.

"I... I was Cultivating just now! Yes, I was too engrossed in my Cultivation!" Zhou Jingyi said.

Zhou Jingqi: "..."

Lin Yunhan: "..."

Han Wanqing: "..."

"Alright, alright, this Revered Master is not a rigid person. If you have your own secrets, I won't ask too many questions, as long as it doesn't affect your Cultivation."

The sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, why is Jingqi's face so red today?" Lin Yunhan asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingyi also looked back and indeed, it was very red.

"Yes, Big Sister, are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Jingyi even thoughtfully swam to her side, wanting to see what was going on.

Until... she accidentally stepped on someone!

Zhou Jingyi's body stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal. However, her face also became slightly flushed.

'Hmm? Someone else stepped on me? This must be little Jingyi. I'll give her a piece of my mind later!'
