408: Getting ready for the next phase

Characters like Liu Ruoli and Chu Ning frost would, apart from Cultivating, also maintain a certain amount of sleep every day, just to make their skin look better.

Women are born with a love for beauty; such things may seem absurd to male Cultivators, but to female Cultivators, this is a completely normal matter.

"You've slept for quite a long time! Precisely because you slept for too long, your husband has been searching everywhere for you!" Su Xuan laughed.

"Searching for me? Husband, don't you know I'm here? What is there to search for?" Shen Shuang said, looking puzzled.

Seeing Shen Shuang's bewildered expression, Su Xuan smiled. Good grief, had he messed with her so much that she'd already forgotten who Feng Changxiao was?

"Even so, it's not a big problem! Watch my Great Memory Restoration Technique!"

Su Xuan only used a small trick, and Shen Shuang quickly recovered her memories regarding Feng Changxiao.

"So it's him! I was wondering who you were talking about, Husband!" Shen Shuang smiled charmingly and gave Su Xuan a fawning look; Su Xuan immediately felt satisfied.

Being able to make Shen Shuang like this, it was impossible for Su Xuan not to feel proud.

"It's just sleeping, what's the big deal? I'll explain it to him later!" Shen Shuang laughed.

"Fine, then make sure you explain it well to him later! Don't reveal any flaws!"

"Otherwise, I won't have any trouble, but the one in trouble will be you!" Su Xuan kindly reminded her.

"I know! Husband! I promise I will complete the task well!" Shen Shuang said seductively.

"Hehehe, but before that... Husband, do you want to..." Shen Shuang blinked, her eyes filled with ambiguity.

"This detestable slut!" Seeing the look in Shen Shuang's eyes, Su Xuan felt a sudden stir, but he quickly restrained himself.

He wouldn't forget that he had important business to attend to later! Although Shen Shuang tempted him, her connection to Xiao Chen wasn't significant.

Rather than wasting time on Shen Shuang now, it was better to finish off Xiao Chen sooner.

"Hehehe, be good, Wifey. Your husband has urgent matters now; I'll come find you again when I have time!" Su Xuan laughed.

"Alright, Husband! When the time comes, remember to save more for me; I'm afraid that when the time comes... I..." Shen Shuang twisted her body, the seduction implicit in her actions.

"You damned slut, just wait for me. When the time comes, I'll definitely show you how powerful I am!" Su Xuan grabbed Shen Shuang's hair; the latter not only didn't get angry but instead revealed an unusual look in her eyes.

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. You go handle Feng Changxiao's matter first!"

"He was already anxious because he couldn't see you; if you don't appear soon, he'll probably go crazy!" Su Xuan laughed.

"Alright, Husband~" Shen Shuang said with a seductive look, and then she vanished before Su Xuan's eyes.

"Jiejiejie..." Watching the back of Shen Shuang as she left, Su Xuan gave a wicked smile. After everything was over, he would go and deal with Shen Shuang.

The next second, Su Xuan vanished into the night.

Yunqi Town, just as its name suggests, is a distant and peaceful small town.

This is an inconspicuous town within the Feng family's territory; however, because of Xiao Chen's arrival, he had brought some Karma to this place.

"Mother! I'm back!" A crisp, childish voice pierced the dusk of the town.

Xiao Nianer hopped into the courtyard with a bamboo basket on her back, the wild berries inside dusted with the golden powder of the setting sun.

In the courtyard, a woman dressed in simple clothing but with an extremely beautiful appearance was wiping a jade hairpin under the corridor, her fingertips tracing the frost flower carved on the head of the hairpin.

Looking at the jade hairpin before her, Su Qingyuan's thoughts seemed to return to over three hundred years ago.

Over three hundred years ago, Su Qingyuan was one of the four Guardians of the Dragon King Palace, with the title Vermilion Bird.

At her Peak, Su Qingyuan not only possessed the cultivation of a Supreme Saint at its Peak, but her mastery of Fire Law was also superb, and she was only one step away from the Great Emperor Realm.

At that time, she was not only a capable subordinate under Xiao Chen but also his lover.

Su Qingyuan would never forget the time she merged her Divine Soul with Xiao Chen.

Although the two of them did not have an actual physical relationship, it still resulted in Su Qingyuan conceiving his child.

Over three hundred years ago, Xiao Chen suddenly abandoned the Dragon King Palace and left without saying goodbye, throwing the entire Dragon King Palace into chaos.

Azure Dragon, one of the four Guardians, wanted to take the opportunity to seize power.

Azure Dragon was one of only two Great Emperor experts in the Dragon King Palace, and his strength was second only to Xiao Chen within the Dragon King Palace.

To protect Xiao Chen's assets, Su Qingyuan joined forces with the other two Guardians to fight against Azure Dragon.

However, Azure Dragon's strength was extremely formidable; even with the three of them combined, they only managed to barely injure him.

The powerful Azure Dragon killed the Guardian White Tiger and injured the other Guardian, Black Tortoise.

Just as he was preparing to attack Su Qingyuan, hostile forces of the Dragon King Palace arrived.

Seeing this, Azure Dragon didn't bother with Su Qingyuan and went to deal with the coalition forces instead.

Taking advantage of this, Su Qingyuan and Black Tortoise quickly fled; to avoid being caught by Azure Dragon, the two of them split up and left.

As for what happened later, Su Qingyuan didn't know very clearly.

She only knew that since that day, the name Dragon King Palace seemed to have disappeared from the Tianxuan Continent, and Su Qingyuan never heard anything about the Dragon King Palace again.

And she, in that battle, had her cultivation greatly affected.

Now, her Realm had fallen to the Feng Huang Realm; although she was definitely an invincible existence within Yunqi Town, she had been afraid for all these years that she would be hunted down by her former enemies.

Therefore, she would not make a move unless her life was in danger.

Especially after she discovered she was pregnant a few years ago.

For all these years, she had remained chaste; even Xiao Chen back then had not taken her body.

The only experience she had was probably that one time within their Divine Souls.

This left Su Qingyuan very puzzled about how she had become pregnant.

However, she subconsciously believed that this was a gift left behind by Xiao Chen.

Therefore, Su Qingyuan decided to give birth to it.

Eventually, Su Qingyuan gave birth to a daughter and named her Xiao Nianer.

Of course, Xiao Nianer also had a nickname, Xiao Nianchen, which Su Qingyuan only used when there was no one else around.

Nianchen, remembering Xiao Chen; even though Xiao Chen had been missing for over three hundred years, Su Qingyuan still missed him immensely.

She believed from beginning to end that Xiao Chen was not dead; how could such a powerful existence die?
