Chapter 1741
Lin Yuyao lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously twisting her sleeves as she recounted her past with Chen Xuan, from their first meeting to becoming Daoist partners. When she got to the most tender moments, even her ears turned blushed, and she lowered her head without realizing it.
Piaoxue and Yu'er exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile at her shy appearance.
Piaoxue gently comforted him, "There's no logic to matters of the heart. Since your husband chose you, it must be because he saw something in you that others don't have, your excellence, your outstanding qualities, or your unique charm."
“That’s right, Sister Yuyao.” Tianxing reached out and took Lin Yuyao’s hand, her tone very serious. “Look at me, apart from that one time when I helped my husband in a life-or-death situation, what substantial help have I ever given him? On the contrary, I always have to rely on my husband for help.”
Upon hearing this, Zi Mo and Yu'er both looked at Tian Xing with great interest, their eyes filled with amusement.
She deliberately dragged out her words: "Oh? Really? I don't think so—for example, has someone secretly slipped something nice to her husband?"
"Oh dear, sister!" Tianxing's face flushed bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and even her neck turned pink. "If you keep making fun of me like this, I'm really going to stop talking to you!"
She stamped her foot, but muttered to herself: Why does this little thing always get brought up again?
Yu'er, Zhanxin, and Tianxing originally wanted to hone their cultivation through battle as soon as possible, but seeing that Lin Yuyao was suffering from a source injury, they all tacitly stopped mentioning the matter.
After a heart-to-heart talk, they each returned to their respective residences to rest.
Before long, guided by Yu'er, a fox-girl walked lightly into Lin Yuyao's Qilin Tower.
“Sister Yao’er, this is Xiao Yezi.” Yu’er stepped aside to let the girl behind her out and introduced her, “She is a descendant of the medicinal beast lineage in my Immortal Abode World. She is intelligent and clever. I specially chose her to be your maid. If you need anything in the future, just tell her.”
The girl, nicknamed Little Leaf, wore an exquisite turquoise dress and had a pair of fluffy white fox ears standing upright on her head, with the tips of her ears slightly reddish.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a childlike appearance. At this moment, she was nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes showing both the unease of meeting the mistress for the first time and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
Yu'er then turned to Xiao Yezi and said gently, "Xiao Yezi, this is the newly appointed mistress. From now on, whatever elixirs or spiritual fruits the mistress desires, or any other instructions she may have, you must do your best to fulfill them."
Xiao Yezi quickly bowed and said in a voice barely audible, "Yes, Xiao Yezi has remembered."
She was filled with unease—it was already widely known in the tribe that the other five matriarchs in this world were gentle and never got angry with the tribes they depended on, but no one could say for sure what kind of temper this new matriarch would have.
However, being chosen to serve the mistress personally was already an incredible opportunity for her.
There is a precedent in the Five Immortals tribe: the matriarchs are all highly skilled immortals. If one happens to receive a word of guidance from them, one can avoid taking detours for decades.
Having just witnessed the great battle between immortals and demons, Xiao Yezi knew what it meant to stay by the side of this newly appointed mistress. Despite her nervousness, the longing in her eyes grew even stronger.
"Thank you, Sister Yu'er." Lin Yuyao first nodded to Yu'er in thanks, then raised her hand and waved it. A gentle spiritual energy transformed into an invisible hand, which gently helped Xiao Yezi up. "No need for formalities."
"We're all family, no need to be so polite." Yu'er smiled and then added, "My sister's body is injured; we were negligent before."
The two held hands and looked just like sisters.
"In the days to come, you should rest and recuperate. We are all looking forward to your speedy recovery, so it will be more fun to cultivate together then," Yu'er said with a smile.
Lin Yuyao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will. Thank you for your concern, sisters."
After Yu'er and the others left, Lin Yuyao simply instructed Xiao Yezi to fetch some fresh spiritual fruits, then sat cross-legged on the bed alone, closed her eyes and concentrated, and began to circulate her spiritual energy to repair her original injuries.
Meanwhile, inside the second-floor residence of Tianxing's "Ancient Tower" mansion.
Suppressed moans and gasps rose and fell in the quiet night, and it wasn't until a full hour later that the sounds that made one blush and their heart race gradually subsided.
Outside the main entrance on the first floor, the snake-girl who served her had already blushed and her legs were weak.
She was amazed by her master's cultivation level, and even more astonished to herself—her master's "combat power" was truly formidable.
Inside the room, a huge white jade bed was as soft as a cloud.
Chen Xuan held the silk thread that hadn't yet been hung by Tianxing. Her delicate body was still trembling slightly, and her eyes were misty with tears. She hadn't fully recovered from the passion she had just experienced.
After a long while, Tianxing finally found her voice, but it was thick with a nasal tone: "Husband... you almost killed me just now..."
Chen Xuan lowered his head and kissed her sweaty forehead, then gently pinched her plump, peach-like buttocks with his fingertips: "This is a little punishment for you. As for why it's a punishment, you know, right?"
"Ah..." Tianxing gasped softly, reaching out to slap his hand away, her eyes glistening with tears, a hint of coquettishness in her voice, "You naughty husband, you bad husband... can't you be a little gentler?"
Chen Xuan pinched her jade-like cheek helplessly: "Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? Who was it that insisted I do this just now..."
"Oh dear!" Tianxing immediately covered his mouth in embarrassment, buried her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't say it!"
The two embraced tenderly for a moment, then Tianxing suddenly looked up and asked, "Husband, when are you going to Sister Yu'er and Sister Piaoxue's residence?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Chen Xuan played with her hair, raising an eyebrow with interest.
Tianxing pouted, looking aggrieved: "It's all because of those bastards a few days ago who deliberately pointed out that I'm no longer a virgin, making my sisters tease me these past few days. I'm so embarrassed!"
She hugged Chen Xuan's neck and shook him, "So husband, hurry up and 'appease' them, so they won't keep staring at me and making fun of me."
"Oh? Is that so?" Chen Xuan feigned surprise, then chuckled. "In that case, fine, your husband will take care of it for you."
Tianxing was overjoyed upon hearing this and leaned in to kiss him. Both of them were Void Immortals who cultivated both divine and demonic body refinement and Qi cultivation, possessing formidable divine bodies. At this moment, moved by their emotions, the atmosphere heated up again, and they shared another tender and passionate kiss.
It wasn't until the night was deep, the moon was high in the sky, and it was nearly dawn, that Chen Xuan covered the exhausted Tian Xing with a brocade quilt, and quietly got up and left.
The next moment, he appeared at Zi Mo's residence using the Qiankun Shift technique.
Over the next few hours, Chen Xuan visited Yu'er, Piaoxue, and Zhanxin in turn, staying at each place for at least an hour, spending some time with them, and more importantly, distributing the treasures he had obtained from the Chaos God's Nest to everyone—
The Chaos Crystal and the Holy Qilin Origin Elixir were delivered to Yu'er, Piaoxue, Zhanxin, Tianxing, and Zimo.
Finally, Chen Xuan arrived at Lin Yuyao's residence.
She was not yet asleep, and was sitting cross-legged on the jade couch practicing her internal energy. When she saw that Chen Xuan could ignore the many layers of formations in Qilin City and enter directly, she quickly stopped practicing her internal energy. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by shyness.
"It seems your first meeting with these sisters went fairly well?" Chen Xuan sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. "Did Senior Sister Yu'er and the others give you any trouble?"
Lin Yuyao leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and whispered, "My sisters are so good to me... I've never experienced anything like it before."
