Chapter 277: Attack of the Xuanhuang Sect (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning.
The sky was starting to brighten.
After Chen An informed his four wives who had stayed at home, he rode his sword and flew towards his destination, the Fire Abyss, with Gu Xinyue. He wanted to go there to find the Abyss Fire Lotus.
The Heaven Earth Sect was not far away from the Fire Abyss. It was only about 40,000 kilometers.
For ordinary people, this journey might take years.
However, for a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, especially Chen An, who had maxed out his proficiency in flying on a sword, he only needed to drink a cup of tea to complete the journey.
“Husband, it’s too fast. Slow down!”
High in the sky, Gu Xinyue closed her eyes and curled up in Chen An’s arms. She didn’t dare to move the entire time. She was so frightened by his high-speed sprint that her face turned pale. She couldn’t take it.
Chen An calmly sent her a voice transmission. “Bear with it for a while longer. We’ll reach the Fire Abyss soon.”
Gu Xinyue had no choice but to endure it.
Fifteen minutes later.
The couple did not take any detours and successfully arrived at their destination—Fire Abyss.
Gu Xinyue got down from the flying sword. Her legs felt weak and she could not stand straight. She could only rely on Chen An to stabilize her body.
Seeing the icy concubine like this, Chen An smiled and asked, “Is it really that exaggerated?”
Gu Xinyue was still a little uncomfortable. She frowned and said uncomfortably, “Husband, I’m just a small Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage. I can’t stand you flying so fast.”
“It’s fine. I’ll fly slower when we go back later.”
“I’ve been holding you back, Husband.”
“No you’re not. If you’re willing, we can walk back and admire the scenery along the way.”
Chen An picked up one of the slender hands of his concubine and teased her gently.
Gu Xinyue was amused by his humor and felt much more relaxed.
Soon, the couple walked into the depths of the Fire Abyss.
The reason why the Fire Abyss was called the Fire Abyss was because there were many small fire veins flowing underground, causing the entire ground to be in a state of steam at all times. The temperature was extremely high.
It was so high that other than a few special creatures, no living creature could survive here.
At a glance, the entrance was bare. There was not even a blade of grass.
Fortunately, Chen An had the Ice Crystal Pill with him. As long as he ate this pill, even Gu Xinyue, who did not have a Fire-type Spiritual Root, could endure the high temperatures.
“Husband, I miss Father…”
Gu Xinyue looked at the glass bottle containing the Ice Crystal Pill in her hand and couldn’t help but think of her father, who had unfortunately died from the fire poison.
The reason why she married Chen An back then was because she could obtain the Ice Crystal Pill from him for free to relieve her father’s fire poison symptoms. It was equivalent to selling her body to save her father.
Unfortunately, she had just sold her body at noon, but her father was gone in the afternoon. She had sold it for nothing.
However, it was a blessing in disguise.
Because of this, she married a good husband, and the trajectory of her life changed greatly.
Otherwise, she might have died in the war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Manor.
In a better case, she would become the wife of a male Cultivator at the late-stage of the Qi Refining realm and be ruthlessly destroyed by the other party as a tool to vent his desire.
No matter what, she probably would not be as happy as she was after marrying Chen An.
“Husband, if I had married you earlier back then, do you think my father would have survived that fire poison?”
Gu Xinyue asked with red eyes.
Chen An did not know how to answer this question.
Gu Xinyue felt that no matter how she answered, she would feel depressed.
If she could survive it, Gu Xinyue would definitely regret not selling her body earlier.
She said that she couldn’t survive, but she also didn’t seem to know how to speak well. It sounded a little hurtful.
“Yue’er, this place is desolate and uninhabited. It’s a good private space. It’s very suitable to increase the relationship between husband and wife.”
In order not to answer the question just now, Chen An chose to change the topic.
For some reason, Gu Xinyue blushed when she heard that. Her attention was diverted immediately and she was no longer sad at the thought of her deceased father.
After about half an incense stick of time.
[Divine Consciousness Strength+5, Earth-type Spiritual Root aptitude+5]
“Yue’er, life is short. You have to learn to live in the present and have fun in time. Don’t keep imprisoning yourself in the painful memories of the past, understand?”
“Ok, 1 understand, Husband.”
“Let’s go deeper. I’ve already sensed several Abyssal Fire Lotuses there.”
“Okay.”
The couple conversed briefly before walking straight in a direction on the left.
With a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Chen An around, this harvesting mission was completed very smoothly.
In just an hour, he had picked more than a hundred Abyssal Fire Lotuses. It was enough to refine many Fertility Restoration Pills.
After picking the Abyssal Fire Lotus,
Under Chen An’s strong coaxing the couple stayed in the Fire Abyss and loved each other a few times. After that, they rode their swords and flew back home.
Outside the Heaven Earth Sect.
Chen An brought Gu Xinyue down slowly on his sword and walked towards the registration desk.
After leaving the Heaven Earth Sect, he had to register. When he returned, he had to register as well.
This was the rule of the Heaven Earth Sect.
“Deacon Chen, you’re back from your business so soon. I thought you and your wife would be gone for at least a few days.”
Seeing Chen An enter, Deacon Tian smiled warmly and fawningly.
Chen An didn’t say much. As he wrote his name on the registration form, he smiled and replied,
“Nothing much, it’s just a small matter. It didn’t take long.”
“By the way, Deacon Chen, a few days ago, 1 came back with a pill formula when I was out training. I don’t understand it and don’t know how much it’s worth. Are you interested in taking a look? If you like it, take it..”
