Chapter 637: He’s My Husband!

Chapter 637: He’s My Husband!

It was like magic; the Phoenix Sword split into the Phoenix Sword!

Is there some kind of splitting technique here? But what you split out is different too!

What kind of skill is this? Merging twin swords and then splitting again—does such a technique even exist?

How on earth did Su Kexin practice this, and when did she train?

Could it be just a protagonist’s halo that she suddenly realized while sleeping one day?

That’s truly outrageous.

Wait, should I have tossed this Phoenix Sword under my bed to gather dust? How is it in your hands?

“Where did you get this sword? I remember it was in my room.”

Lin Nuo pointed at the Phoenix Sword, questioning. The sword seemed quite spiritual and flew straight into his hand as he reached out.

Is this the legendary sword summon?

“It was in Senior Brother’s room, but while passing the male disciples’ dormitory, I seemed to feel its inner cry—it was quite lonely and wanted to find Senior Brother. Then it flew out from your room. At first, I just prepared a scabbard for it, but then I suddenly figured out a new way to merge it, hiding it away, and voilà, it worked!”

Su Kexin smiled as Lin Nuo listened, mystified. So you’re a sword whisperer now? You can hear the sword’s thoughts?

I’ve used it for so long, and I’ve never heard it say a single word.

But it certainly feels handy—that’s undeniable.

“Can you still hear it say anything? What’s it saying now?”

“Um… I only heard a little bit at the moment; after that, I couldn’t hear anymore. Maybe it was my imagination. But Senior Brother, this is your sword! You need to wear it when going out so that our Phoenix Twin Swords can unleash their maximum power!”

Wear it? Wouldn’t that reveal everything?

I, Lin Nuo, am the greatest master of disguise; how could I let a Phoenix Sword drag me down?

Lin Nuo crouched down to roast something; Su Kexin’s fire was blazing, and the temperature was so high that getting too close might roast him alive, but his clothes quickly dried.

“By the way, how did you end up in the river?”

The white silk that Su Kexin had just taken off dried quickly, and she put it back on. Generally, clothes washed in the river might carry some odd smell, but Su Kexin still smelled faintly of flowers, not at all unpleasant to Lin Nuo.

This wasn’t just any white silk; it was significant. Su Kexin once said it was a precious gift from her father. It not only kept her warm but also protected her legs, increasing speed and agility—so many benefits!

Absurdly, while white silk tends to get dirty easily and can turn filthy black when splashed with river water, hers remained immaculate, white with a hint of transparency, her slender legs enviously beautiful, her little feet swaying like a snow cone.

Only extraordinary people could master white silk.

Of course, the likes of Qin Shili and Liu Shuqin could also pull off white silk, but it would seem out of place on them.

Su Kexin’s father was quite the impressive figure, though shrouded in mystery, Lin Nuo had never met him.

“Swimming.”

Lin Nuo casually replied. Could he tell her it was a plane crash? That’d have the whole town rolling with laughter!

“Oh, swimming, huh?”

Senior Brother is truly not honest. Who swims here? This is where all the fateful encounters happen; I understand~

Everything is perfect now, two of them cuddling after their dip in the water, huddled together by the fire—could there be a more ordinary encounter with such an experience?

“Senior Brother, my mom and I are planning to return to Su Family Village. Would you like to come and take a look? It’s a beautiful place with clear mountains and waters.”

“Sure.”

Lin Nuo readily agreed, naturally he would go. Before the Tianshu Star fell, he needed to wait for a good opportunity to slip her away.

If it truly came down to it, he’d just go on a date that day and whisk her away from Su Family Village.

Once their clothes had dried, Su Kexin extinguished the fire and donned a pink-and-white Daoist robe and matching shoes, still looking like a vibrant young girl.

Lin Nuo followed Su Kexin and her companions, feeling like he was accompanying his wife and mother-in-law on a visit back home.

After crossing the last mountain, they finally arrived at Su Family Village.

Su Family Village was larger than Lin Nuo had imagined, with rows of houses in an old and weathered architectural style, mostly empty as many had moved away and no longer returned.

This was similar to modern times; many people from rural areas flocked to cities, abandoning the village nestled in the mountains and woods.

But Su Kexin’s mother and Lin Nuo’s mother shared the same old-fashioned disposition, sentimental and into ancestral rites.

Su Family Village was where Su Kexin was born; it held her childhood filled with many friends, now all changed beyond recognition.

Most of the remaining villagers were old men, children, and women—few young people stayed behind, and in general impressions, those left behind were viewed as unaccomplished.

Once, Su Family Village was a big family, unified, but that was in the past, and few mourned its decline now.

An elderly woman waving a bamboo fan was Su Kexin’s so-called Three Grannies. Upon seeing their return, her face broke into a gentle smile—old, toothless, with few teeth left, her smile still radiated warmth.

“Yu Lan, and little Kexin, you’ve come back!”

Bending her back, Three Grannies slowly approached, and to ease her efforts, Su Kexin’s mother quickly supported her.

Her full name was Xiao Yulan, once known as the model wife of Su Family Village.

“Yes, yes, we’re back! Three Grannies, it’s been a long time; how have you been?”

“Good, good.”

Three Grannies smiled, her gaze shifting to Lin Nuo.

“And this young man is…? Little Kexin’s husband?”

Lin Nuo: “…”

Really? Are your eyes just getting old, or are you losing your marbles? How do you see me as Ah Su’s husband?

Just as Lin Nuo was about to refute, Su Kexin jumped in first:

“Yes! Three Grannies, he is indeed my husband! We are very loving!”

Lin Nuo: “……?”

What the heck?! How did I become your husband? We merely shared a kiss and held each other in a haystack; that doesn’t mean I’m responsible!

And by the way, I’m not taking responsibility for that!

Thinking of a rebuttal, Lin Nuo was suddenly pulled down by Su Kexin, who whispered in his ear:

“Hey, Senior Brother, Three Grannies cares a lot about me and hopes I can bring a partner back. Just help me out and pretend to be my husband, okay? My grandma is also in Su Family Village and wishes to meet her granddaughter’s husband. This is a little wish from the old folks, please help me out.”

Lin Nuo: “……”

Why should it matter to me who you bring to meet your family? Am I obligated to help you?

But…

Pretending to be a husband gives me more opportunities to get closer to Su Kexin, and then the chances to whisk her away multiply.

Moreover, this is a favor; she’ll be grateful and likely listen to my advice, escaping from Tianshu Star would be as good as done.

It’s just for a goal—totally worth it.

“Alright.”

He nodded in agreement.

“Senior Brother, you’re the best!”

Su Kexin beamed, boldly linking her arm with Lin Nuo.

Hehe, now I’m a husband to my Senior Brother; how delightful!
