94: Did you give it to me?

Get a room?

Chen Qingxuan was taken aback. 'Get a room for what?'

'Of course, to rest,' Ji Qianyou said, batting her sparkling, limpid eyes with a giggle. 'Anyway, we're entering the Northern Abyss tomorrow, so let's have a good rest tonight!'

'That's true.'

Chen Qingxuan thought about it and found it reasonable.

And so, the master and disciple pair turned around to look for a place to stay.

Although there were quite a few inns in the town, since this area was a prosperous district of the Central Plains with countless Cultivators coming and going, rooms were not exactly abundant.

After searching for quite a while, the master and disciple pair finally found a single room.

Although there was only one bed, it was still better than sleeping rough in the wilderness, so they decided to stay there.

Inside the room.

'Revered Master, look... this bed is so big!' Ji Qianyou pointed at the wooden bed, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she looked at Chen Qingxuan, who was busy checking his equipment.

'Huh?'

Chen Qingxuan looked up.

Gazing at the ordinary-sized wooden bed, he smiled. 'Where is it big? It's a normal size... It's getting dark, you should get ready to rest on the bed. We'll set off early tomorrow morning.'

Ji Qianyou tilted her head and asked, 'What about you, Revered Master?'

'This Revered Master will just sit for a while.'

'Revered Master, are you deliberately giving the bed to Qian You?'

'Giving?'

Chen Qingxuan was slightly stunned.

To be honest, he hadn't thought that much about it, but touching upon his Beloved Disciple's moved gaze, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Look at how sensible and reasonable my Beloved Disciple is!

The next moment, however, he saw Ji Qianyou walk forward with a pained expression. 'Revered Master, let's sleep on the bed together.'

'What?'

Chen Qingxuan's body jolted in shock.

Before he could speak, Ji Qianyou added, 'I know that if I give the bed to Revered Master, with Revered Master's care for me, you definitely won't accept it. But if I enjoy it myself and let Revered Master sit on a cold bench all night... wouldn't that make me seem terribly unfilial... If we sleep, we sleep together!'

'Ha... Qian You, having this intention is enough.'

Chen Qingxuan smiled bitterly.

Facing such a sensible little disciple, he sighed with emotion. 'After all, men and women are different, and besides, you've grown up... It's not appropriate to share a bed. This Revered Master doesn't need to rest.'

'Does Revered Master think of Qian You as a woman?'

'This...'

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

Before he could gather his thoughts, he saw Ji Qianyou puff up her cheeks. 'Moreover, no matter how big Qian You grows, aren't I still Revered Master's little disciple? Is there anything wrong with what I said?'

'That statement... I can't find fault with it...'

Chen Qingxuan scratched his head.

'Revered Master, let's go to bed!'

Seeing Chen Qingxuan had no words to refute, Ji Qianyou beamed with joy, pulling the former towards the bed.

Chen Qingxuan continued to decline. 'Although that's true... but Qian You... This Revered Master still feels it's not quite appropriate... You go rest by yourself.'

'If Revered Master is like this... then Qian You won't go either,' Ji Qianyou puffed her cheeks. 'Anyway, just thinking of you sitting on a cold bench... I won't be able to rest well either... Let's just both sit.'

'How can that be...'

Chen Qingxuan was about to persuade her.

The next moment, Ji Qianyou raised her adorable little face, looking somewhat aggrieved. 'Actually, Revered Master, I just want you to hold me while I sleep... Since I was little... my mother never held me to sleep... I just want to fall asleep lying in Revered Master's arms... Revered Master, let me experience it, okay?'

Chen Qingxuan was at a loss for words.

Especially when he met those pitiful, pleading little eyes, so endearing, and hearing these words that struck right at his heart, it made his resolve waver even more... In the end;

One wooden bed, two figures.

'Hehe~'

Ji Qianyou, while resting her head on Chen Qingxuan's arm, raised her smiling face and said, 'Revered Master, have you really never thought about taking a wife?'

'No,' Chen Qingxuan shook his head. 'The world is going to end in less than two years. What would I need a wife for?'

'To sleep with a wife!'

'Ahem.'

Chen Qingxuan's handsome face flushed red. 'Who taught you these things?'

'I read it in a book.'

'...Give me that biography.'

'No, I haven't finished reading it yet!'

Ji Qianyou turned her back to refuse.

Then, she whispered softly, 'If the world really ends, I'm not afraid to die with Revered Master... Revered Master, would you be afraid?'

'I don't want to die.'

'I mean, if.'

'If possible... I'd want to survive.'

'?'

Ji Qianyou turned around, shot Chen Qingxuan a glare, then turned back. 'No fun, I'm going to sleep.'

'Good night!'

'Hmm? What is this?'

'A jade pendant... the token I used back then to impersonate the Demon God Valley and deceive your mother.'

'Wasn't it in my mother's hands?'

'...Be good~ Sleep!'

...Early the next morning.

At the crack of dawn, Chen Qingxuan hurried outside to cool off.

'What a sin... I should have brought my wife out... and left Qian You at the Demon Emperor Palace... I got it backwards.'

A long while later, Chen Qingxuan finally returned to the room.

Inside the room, Ji Qianyou was already awake and had washed up. Compared to Chen Qingxuan, who had suffered through a night of torment, the Little Girl now seemed full of energy.

'Are you packed? If you are, let's set off.'

'All packed.'

Immediately, the master and disciple pair set off for the Northern Abyss.

After traveling at full speed for most of the day, they arrived at the border between the Central Plains and the Northern Abyss. A cold wind howled, biting and piercing.

Even before entering the Northern Abyss, they could feel a raging, frigid wind.

And as they ventured deeper, the blizzard of mixed snow and rain, like sharp blades, continuously slashed at those who stepped into this land of death.

This level of cold current was definitely not naturally formed.

Fortunately, the master and disciple pair were quite capable. The power within their bodies swirled around them, forming a barrier that blocked all the approaching cold force.

And this was only at the outer edge of the Northern Abyss. To have such power here, one dared not imagine what it would be like if they ventured deep into the legendary Land of Extreme Cold.

Therefore, when they were close to the Land of Extreme Cold, Chen Qingxuan proactively stopped.

As he rummaged through his things, Ji Qianyou asked, 'Revered Master, let me see your jade pendant.'

'Here, hold it.'

Chen Qingxuan handed over a Magical Artifact he had prepared in advance, instructing, 'Qian You, once the Magical Artifact is activated, don't stop it. It can help us resist the external forces, making things much easier for us.'

'Huh?'

Ji Qianyou blinked her long eyelashes.

But she still took the Magical Artifact first and obediently followed Chen Qingxuan's instructions to activate it. A gentle force instantly enveloped her body, effortlessly blocking the wind and snow that cut like knives outside, without needing any control.

Chen Qingxuan also activated a Magical Artifact and even put on a piece of protective gear.

Meeting his Beloved Disciple's fixed gaze, he came to his senses. 'Qian You, do you want to wear a piece of protective gear too? It might be a bit big, but it should be okay after you grow larger.'

'Revered Master, I don't need protective gear,' Ji Qianyou puffed her cheeks and said seriously. 'I said I wanted to see the jade pendant!'

'Huh?'

Chen Qingxuan was taken aback. 'What jade pendant? Did you give it to me?'
