Hearing Nangong Liu Yun’s question, Lan Xin hurriedly explained:
“Sir Liu Yun, you might be misunderstanding me. The scent of my master is on me because we were eating grilled meat together…
Out of gratitude for leading him to safety, he kindly made grilled meat for me as a reward.”
With those words said, Lan Xin pulled out a recording stone and played the footage right in front of Nangong Liu Yun.
On the recording stone, Jiang Xuan handed the grilled meat to Lan Xin and politely refused her request for post-dinner exercise.
On the other side, Nangong Liu Yun stared at the footage pensively.
“Hmm, this all seems quite reasonable, but because it appears too reasonable, I find it unreasonable.”
????
“What do you mean by that, Sir Liu Yun?”
“Why did you record this scene with the recording stone, Little Xin?”
“Oh… I just happened to record it… Didn’t think it’d come in handy for clearing up misunderstandings…”
“Not so fast! You presented me with evidence before I even asked about why you were holding back from me. Isn’t that a bit too obvious?”
In short, you’ve been guilty from the very second you stepped in front of me, am I right?
??????
Lan Xin had assumed she could sneak it by, then think of a way to convince Sir Liu Yun to hold off on visiting the cabin for a few days.
That way, she wouldn’t upset either side and could benefit both.
But right now, her perfect plan seemed to hit a major snag.
Lan Xin bravely continued:
“Sir Liu Yun, I swear on my mother’s grave, I’m not deceiving you…”
“You can go check the location I mentioned. Master is really there…”
“Little Xin, the location can’t be faked, it’s easy to expose. Since you’re not lying about the location, you’re lying about something else.
You stayed the whole night and snuck a touch, didn’t you?”
??????
Nangong Liu Yun’s words instantly made Lan Xin feel like she was about to burst into flames while also suffocating her.
At that moment, Lan Xin somewhat understood why her master was afraid of his fiancée.
But she couldn’t admit it; so she explained further:
“Sir Liu Yun, you have misunderstood. We have a master-servant contract and I would never go against my master’s wishes—”
“I see, so you’re saying… you used some trick to make him touch you, is that it?”
….
In her heart,
[Crying, oh Master, help… I can’t take this anymore…]
…
Outside the small cabin, Jiang Xuan was meditating, refining the three drops of Kirin Heartblood.
Half a day later, once the Kirin Heartblood was fully refined, his cultivation reached the peak of Sky Martial Level 7.
This time, instead of using the Kirin Heartblood to enhance his Spiritual Root, he simply refined the Spiritual Power within, resulting in significant growth in cultivation.
Three days quickly passed.
Jiang Xuan had refined all his remaining Spiritual Stones, and his cultivation was unexpectedly at the peak of Sky Martial Level 8.
His diligent practice these past few days made his life quite fulfilling.
In the meantime, he silently rejoiced—the escape had finally paid off.
Jiang Xuan guessed that Nangong Liu Yun hadn’t found them likely because Lan Xin was keeping her busy.
Though uncertain how long that would last, Jiang Xuan decided that once he reached Martial Spirit Realm, he’d find a new place to seclude himself to avoid any future troubles.
He wasn’t aware that a thousand miles away, Nangong Liu Yun was carrying a black bag.
Inside was Lan Xin, her head peeking out, sporting a battered and bruised look with one of her Kirin horns snapped off as if to show she’d learned her lesson.
“Little Xin, I roughed you up a bit to make sure husband trusts you more.
It’ll be easier for you to keep an eye on him as my spy. Understand the intention behind this, don’t you?”
“Oh… yes, it’s my fault for hiding things from Sir Liu Yun… Just calm down…”
“Calm down? Not just yet… you’ll need to do penance by being cooperative. If you can’t satisfy me, then… well…”
“Don’t worry, Sir Liu Yun, I’ll definitely cooperate perfectly!”
“Alright, let’s get going. From the looks of it, husband has gotten stronger. After a few days of rest, it’s time we show him some love.”
With that, Nangong Liu Yun grabbed the bag and vanished.
Elsewhere, after exhausting all his spiritual stones, Jiang Xuan prepared to absorb Spiritual Energy for cultivation tomorrow.
Today he decided to practice martial techniques and improve his combat strength.
Just then, spatial fluctuations rippled, and Nangong Liu Yun appeared in front of him.
“Husband, you really dared to run away, almost driving me crazy trying to find you.
Turns out Little Xin still leans towards you after all. It took three days and nights of thrashing before she admitted it.
But instead of admitting, she told me the opposite location. Too bad, such a petty trick can’t fool me…”
“!!!”
From inside the bag, Lan Xin wailed:
“Master, I’m truly sorry… that villainess is too strong, I… couldn’t hold her off… ”
