Watching Nangong Liu Yun’s smile, which felt like a gentle spring breeze, as she spoke her bluntly honest words, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but feel his legs a bit weak.
And the System sweetly reported that under that radiant smile of Nangong Liu Yun, her affection level had hit an unprecedented -10,000.
Staring at that ridiculous affection level, Jiang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and didn’t dare to even breathe.
His experiences after leaving the barrier were already hellish enough without confessing.
If he really confessed, the outcome would definitely be even more miserable.
No matter what, he absolutely couldn’t confess!
Just as Jiang Xuan was about to refuse with a slightly tougher attitude, Nangong Liu Yun’s airy voice floated back to him.
“Alas, Husband, you clearly already have me, yet you keep thinking about running away.
This really makes it seem like you don’t view me as your fiancée or companion at all.
In order to prevent you from trying to escape again, I… I guess I’ll have to painfully break your legs and keep you well locked up.
Husband, you understand, right? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you for a lifetime.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
“Wait, I won’t run away again; Liu Yun, please trust me one more time…”
Hearing these words, all the rejection he was preparing vanished. Right then, he felt like his legs had gone completely numb.
To save his legs, Jiang Xuan quickly lowered his posture and made a guarantee.
“Oh? Really? You’re not planning to escape, Husband? Then let me see some sincerity first.”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
As Nangong Liu Yun’s words fell, she directly pulled Jiang Xuan into the little courtyard’s room.
Watching the door slowly close, Jiang Xuan realized he had completely lost any escape route.
Now, he could only pacify this big BOSS’s emotions to keep his legs intact.
*
Half a day later, inside the room.
Nangong Liu Yun looked down at Jiang Xuan.
“Um? Husband, you seem a bit more competent than before. Did some bad woman get to you?”
“Ah… that’s not true… I…”
“No need to explain, I have my own judgment. You seem… a little afraid of me?
So you only just realized you should be scared? Well, that’s a good thing; at least now you won’t dare to escape from my side.”
……
Jiang Xuan felt wronged at Nangong Liu Yun’s words.
He wasn’t stupid; he had never tried to run away in front of her.
Every time, it was just that Nangong Liu Yun wasn’t around when he happened to bump into those bad women…
Bottom line, it was really Nangong Liu Yun’s fault for not protecting him. No, wait, he wasn’t some weak and helpless little boy who needed a woman’s protection.
Hold on, to be precise, it was the System’s fault. If it had been a bit more reliable, he wouldn’t be in this mess.
Right now, being weak, he got his critical points pinched and had to grovel for affection.
……
“Husband, you still won’t tell me what happened after you left the barrier?
Were those people really worth your protection?”
“Nothing… nothing major happened. I just accidentally discovered a hidden formation inside the barrier and stumbled into a secret realm, where I happened to meet Xinyuan.
She protected me in the secret realm, and after she got her inheritance, we were both teleported out together.
Then we ran into that group of Sky Blue Snakes, and later you came to save me.”
“Husband, while your explanation sounds reasonable, if you think about it closely, it’s full of holes.
Let me guess, you stitched together the beginning and end of what happened while skipping the middle, right?”
Jiang Xuan: “…….”
“Guess I’ll have to come back a few more times before you confess properly.
Strange, you don’t seem to have cultivation, but your physical fitness seems much stronger. Your hidden cultivation method is quite impressive.
You’re not plotting to secretly get stronger and then retaliate against me, are you?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
“No, Liu Yun, you’re overthinking it…”
“Oh? Really overthinking? Based on how you address me and the light in your eyes, it seems like you’re not being honest.”
…….
A day later.
“Liu Yun sis… are you still not letting me go?”
Three days later.
“Lady Liu Yun… isn’t this enough after all these days?”
Ten days later.
“Wife… I’ve already explained everything clearly, please forgive me…”
“Sigh, why did you reveal everything so quickly? I thought you could hold out for a month. I’m a little disappointed. It looks like you’ve gotten a bit stronger, but that’s about it.
So you were captured by a strong monster from the Monster Clan, then saved by little Yu? And then you ran into the God of War Murong and that Empress of the Cold Light Dynasty.
It seems like you’ve mostly revealed what you need to, and it matches the lingering auras on you.
Sigh, too bad little Yu isn’t here; otherwise, we would definitely send her an invitation for the wedding.
Husband, how many of those bad women do you think will come to our wedding?”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
“Liu… Wife… what do you mean by that?”
Seeing Jiang Xuan’s exhausted expression, Nangong Liu Yun directly shoved a large spirit pill into his mouth.
“Husband, you’ll soon know what I want to do! Okay, let’s take you back to the Jiang Family for a good few days of rest.
By the time I have everything arranged, we’ll make a grand entrance into the Jiang Family to welcome you.
The wedding is tentatively scheduled for twenty days later.
Oh, and before that, if you even think about leaving the Great Jiang Imperial City for a single step, I won’t let you off so easily.
Also, Husband, do grow stronger; if you’re too weak, I won’t find it satisfying.”
…….
Dazed, Jiang Xuan was sent back to the Jiang Family’s door by Nangong Liu Yun.
Looking at the familiar Jiang Family, Jiang Xuan felt a little disoriented.
After more than three months, he had finally returned to the Jiang Family.
A little while later, Nangong Liu Yun took Jiang Xuan’s hand and walked to the main hall of the Jiang Family.
Seeing Nangong Liu Yun and Jiang Xuan’s arrival, Jiang Yu Yan, the head of the Jiang Family, rushed forward excitedly.
“Xuan’er, you’re finally back! Wuwuwu, you disappeared for so long; how am I supposed to explain this to your father up there?!”
“Mom, I’m fine, no need to worry…”
“Jiang Yi, little Xuan was taken to another imperial dynasty. He might be a bit weak on the way back and needs a good rest.”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
“Alright, I’ll have the kitchen prepare some nourishing food right away.
Liu Yun, thanks to you for bringing little Xuan back. Why don’t you stay with us for a few days in the Jiang Family?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan, who had been silent, suddenly panicked.
Meanwhile, Nangong Liu Yun smiled lightly and said, “Aunt Jiang, I need to prepare for my wedding with little Xuan these days. I’ll come back to the Jiang Family for a visit in a few days. I’ll take little Xuan back to his room first…”
In the room, Nangong Liu Yun brought Jiang Xuan to the soft couch.
Then, she pinched Jiang Xuan’s chin.
“Husband, I’m preparing to head back. Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Um… let’s have tea together whenever you have time?”
“Um? It seems like you’ve started being uncooperative now that you’re back in the Jiang Family.”
Seeing Nangong Liu Yun slightly frown, Jiang Xuan quickly corrected himself.
“I’ll definitely think of you all the time, Liu Yun. After finishing with the wedding preparations, remember to come to Jiang Family to see me…”
“Oh! So you’re trying to court my favor, but too shy to say it, huh?
I really can’t handle you; you’re just too bashful.”
Jiang Xuan: “?????????”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan was completely baffled.
He didn’t have that thought at all; how did it turn into a smear against him out of nowhere?
Noticing Jiang Xuan’s dazed expression, Nangong Liu Yun asked, somewhat displeased,
“What? Could it be that you don’t mean that?”
As her words fell, her gaze casually swept over Jiang Xuan’s legs.
Under Nangong Liu Yun’s questioning, Jiang Xuan managed to squeeze out a smile and stammered,
“I can’t hide it from you, Liu Yun; before you leave the Jiang Family, could you… could you favor me just one more time?”
“Sigh, really can’t handle you, Husband; you brought this up yourself, okay?”
……
Two hours later, Nangong Liu Yun finally left satisfied, while Jiang Xuan stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.
At this moment, his mind reached the System, and he said,
“System, is there a way to rapidly get stronger within twenty days? I don’t want to live this life of being bullied anymore.”
