At this moment, Jiang Xuan heard Nan Gong Liu Yun’s warm and soothing words, but the more he thought about it, the more something didn’t feel right inside.
[What’s this? She’s been trying to cheer me up for an entire day and night already? Why does she keep going on like this?]
[Even the Great Sage couldn’t resist, and if I just keep going like this, I might as well be eating a boxed meal for my funeral!]
On the surface, Jiang Xuan hurriedly declined, saying, “Wife, there’s no need to try and comfort me. I think staying in this underground secret room is getting a bit boring.
How about we go out and do some window shopping like we did before?”
As Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Nan Gong Liu Yun smiled slyly yet mischievously.
“Hmm? You’re already tired of me after only one day?”
With Nan Gong Liu Yun throwing this unsolvable and fatal question at him, Jiang Xuan started to panic.
If he answered that he wasn’t tired, Nan Gong Liu Yun would immediately continue their conversation happily.
If he said he was, Nan Gong Liu Yun would get moody and take her frustrations out on him.
No matter which way he answered, it seemed like there was no good outcome.
Thinking back to the present, Jiang Xuan spoke with an air of sincerity, “It’s not about being tired or not. Compared to this gloomy underground secret room, I’d rather travel the world and be a pair of immortal soulmates with you.
That’s a small wish of mine—surely you aren’t different, right?
Or, did you want me just because of my slightly outstanding looks from the beginning?”
Upon hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, Nan Gong Liu Yun was momentarily stunned.
Then, recovering from her shock, she smiled gracefully.
“Almost fell for your trick, Husband. It was actually you who agreed to be punished by me, and to boot, for the sake of the female imperial dynasty empress.
We said three months, but it’s only been one day and now you can’t handle me anymore?
Sure thing, Husband. If you want to see the splendors of the world, I’ll bring you out in three months, alright?”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
Right now, Jiang Xuan’s heart had completely given up.
[This is it, I can’t manipulate anymore. Now I really have nothing left. With my weak body, three months? Even the Great Sage would shake his head, saying he’s helpless.
Oh, completely no time to become strong. I’ll have to eat a big restoration pill while I’m weak.
Good thing Deputy Pavilion Master gave me that bottle of great restoration pills. Three months… should… maybe… probably… hold…]
In reality, Jiang Xuan was in no shape to be optimistic at all.
Just as Nan Gong Liu Yun was about to continue comforting Jiang Xuan, the voice transmission jade pendant she had thrown aside suddenly lit up.
Seeing the light coming from the voice transmission pendant, Nan Gong Liu Yun signaled Jiang Xuan to stay silent, then infused a thread of spiritual power into the pendant to answer the call.
Immediately after, a relaxed and laid-back voice came through the pendant.
“Hey, Little Junior Sister, what are you up to? Why did you only pick up now?”
“Not much, Sis, I’ve got stuff to deal with. Spill it quick.”
“It’s like this. You haven’t come back to Azure Phoenix Sect for quite a long time, old man Teacher has been thinking of you.
He’s always concerned about your happiness and has prepared to introduce you to the Saint Son of the Heavenly Vortex Hall. They say that Saint Son has extremely high cultivation talent and stunning looks. Hurry back.
A partner like that is such a good catch, don’t let it get away or you’ll regret it later.”
Hearing this, Nan Gong Liu Yun frowned and quickly refused.
“I’m not interested. Sis, help me turn down the offer. Once I have the chance to return to Azure Phoenix Sect, I’ll bring you some tasty treats.
Alright, that’s all, I gotta hang up.”
Nan Gong Liu Yun’s voice just ended when her voice transmission jade pendant continued to sound.
“Hold on, Little Junior Sister. Usually, you wouldn’t abruptly cut off a voice message like this. Are you hiding something from me? You sneaking around eating something good behind my back?
Did you try something better than that Heavenly Vortex Hall’s Saint Son?”
“No… I was just focused on practicing. I don’t even think about those things for now.”
“That’s good, we’ve promised to share all our joys together, sister. I trust that…”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan, sensing that Nan Gong Liu Yun had been concealing the truth, stepped forward to embrace her tenderly.
“Wife, did you finish your chat? I’ve been waiting for you to soothe me for quite some time.”
Noting Nan Gong Liu Yun had been keeping his secrets from him, Jiang Xuan, though puzzled, saw this as a chance perhaps to avoid staying in bed for three months.
As Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the atmosphere turned bizarrely quiet.
Including the person on the other end of the voice transmission jade pendant.
After a while, the jade pendant transmitted another voice.
“Little Junior Sister, now you’re in that small imperial dynasty, aren’t you? Hang tight, I’ll join you soon.”
Startled, Nan Gong Liu Yun quickly responded.
“Hold on, Sis, calm down, things aren’t as you think…”
“Heh, I’ve been struggling in the Azure Phoenix Sect while you enjoy yourself elsewhere. What happened to sharing the joys together?
As soon as I heard that voice, even without seeing them, I knew they were the type I fancy. You tried to hide it from me and keep them for yourself!”
Nan Gong Liu Yun: “…..”
“Sorry, Sis. Since it’s out in the open, then I won’t hide it from you. Him? No one shares him with me.”
As Nan Gong Liu Yun finished her sentence, she crushed the voice transmission jade pendant directly.
Then, she looked at the embraced Jiang Xuan, gently lifting his chin.
“Husband, you’re being a naughty boy. I clearly told you to stay quiet, and you went ahead and made a move.
Since you begged me so sweetly for comfort, I’ll make sure to satisfy every part of you.”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
As Nan Gong Liu Yun completed her statement, Jiang Xuan, with a sorrowful expression, asked:
“Before you start comforting me, may I ask Wife a question?”
“Go ahead.”
“Well… why did Wife hide me? Am I not satisfactory enough?”
“Husband, you’re overthinking it. I just didn’t want my elder sister to know about you because she has a weird habit.
Every time she sees me, she takes my stuff, and then compensates me, saying it’s sharing joys together.
Usually, I don’t mind her taking my stuff. But taking my husband? No way.
Anyway, you don’t need to worry. I’ll hide you properly.
After all, no matter what, she’s my dear elder sister. I try not to conflict with her.”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
After explaining, Nan Gong Liu Yun once again threw Jiang Xuan into the fire.
“Husband… you like my comfort, right?”
“Yes… yes, I…”
“Husband, I intended to let you rest properly, but this time, you’re the one asking for it.”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
Now, looking at Nan Gong Liu Yun’s heavenly figure, Jiang Xuan cried in his heart,
“Where’s the Great Sage inside me? Hurry up and save me!”
