Chapter 247: Goodbye Gu Yuena_1
Hao Tian Sect.
Seated in the Sect Master’s chair, Elder Tang Chen, alongside Tang Xiao, Tang San, and the five Great Elders, no one dared to even let out a breath!
"Speak, where on earth did Hao’er go?" Tang Chen questioned the crowd.
"Elder Tang Chen, we... we do not know," replied the Lieyang Douluo.
"A fine man just disappears into thin air, huh!" Tang Chen coldly remarked.
"Grandpa, it seems that some time ago, some of our sect’s affiliated disciples saw him in Tiandou City," Tang Xiao answered.
Tang Chen was silent for a moment, then stood up and declared, "I am announcing two things. First, from now on, as Hao Tian Sect re-emerges, you are responsible for contacting our previously affiliated sects and families, and tell them Elder Tang Chen has returned. Additionally, search for Hao’er with all your might! Second, I am going to the Martial Soul Hall."
"Grandpa, you’re going to the Martial Soul Hall!" exclaimed Tang Xiao in surprise.
"Hmph, that old man Qian Daoliu, daring to treat my Hao Tian Sect this way, I’ll be ruthless!" Tang Chen coldly replied.
"San’er, come with me," Tang Chen turned to Tang San, "after we return from the Martial Soul Hall, I’ll take you to the Aquipeia Forest to get your Second Soul Spirit Ring."
"Thank you, great-grandfather!" Tang San replied with excitement.
"Second Soul Spirit Ring, could it be that little San is..." Hearing this, Tang Xiao’s eyes showed a hint of pleasant surprise.
"Yes, uncle, I possess Twin Martial Souls!" Tang San replied. Originally, Yu Xiaogang had told Tang San to wait until he became a Titled Douluo before adding a Spirit Ring to his second Martial Soul, but Tang San could no longer wait. If he didn’t grow stronger soon, he would always remain beneath Chu Qin in strength!
Central region of the Aquipeia Forest.
Chu Qin and Zi Ji smoothly arrived at Gu Yuena’s cultivation site.
Before they even entered, a shadow clothed in green gracefully walked out.
With shiny green hair cascading over her shoulders, her exquisite features emanated a hazy natural freshness that was complemented by her green long dress, making her look like a lady who had stepped out of a painting—none other than the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, pays respects to Lord Chu Qin!" Bi Ji bowed deeply to Chu Qin.
"Bi Ji, there’s no need for such formality, is Na’er inside?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.
"Na... My Lord, she has just finished her treatment and gone to sleep," Bi Ji replied.
"Just gone to sleep..." Chu Qin frowned slightly and said, "That lazy thing, sleeping in broad daylight?"
"My Lord, every time after treatment, she sleeps for an hour," Bi Ji said with a smile. "Should I wake her up for you?"
"No need!" Chu Qin shook his head, "I’ll go myself!"
Having said so, Chu Qin, accompanied by the two ladies, tiptoed into the deepest part of the cave.
As soon as he entered, Chu Qin felt the familiar and distinctive fragrance hit his senses, and there, on the central stone bed, lay a stunning figure, sleeping face-up.
She was dressed in a long silver gown with not a single blanket covering her, presenting a perfect contour of her figure.
The sound of her even breathing could be heard emanating from those enticing red lips.
At that moment, Zi Ji and Bi Ji also entered, gently closing the stone door behind them.
Chu Qin slowly approached, gazing at the breathtaking beauty that one could never tire of, displaying a smile of deep affection.
"Even in this state, he still doesn’t wake up. If this fool were to be attacked, I bet he wouldn’t even know he’s been hurt!" Chu Qin slightly shook his head.
"The Lord must not be disturbed while cultivating. However, rest assured, Lord Chu Qin!" Bi Ji replied, "With me and the Thousand Demon King here, nothing will happen to the Lord. Besides, who would dare to come here? And even if they did, there is a barrier set around the Lord. If someone touches it, the Lord would wake up immediately!"
"Let’s not disturb her for now, we’ll just go out and wait!" Chu Qin stood still for a while, looking at Gu Yuena, revealing a protective smile.
After speaking, Chu Qin and Bi Ji, along with Zi Ji, left the room and went to the outer chamber.
"Bi Ji, does Na’er need to be treated every day now?" Chu Qin asked.
Bi Ji shook her head, "The bruises inside the Lord’s body have mostly healed. Now, it’s mainly about recovering her vitality and Soul Power each day. The only tricky part is that the Lord’s Soul Power is mixed with the power of the Five Great Supreme Beings of the Divine Realm, which can’t be fully unleashed!"
"Even so, the Lord is doing so much better than before!" Bi Ji happily replied, "Thank you, Lord Chu Qin!"
"What are you talking about? Na’er is my wife," Chu Qin replied, "Isn’t that to be expected?"
"Yes, that’s true!" Bi Ji smiled lightly.
"Sister Bi Ji, are you getting accustomed to living in Aquipeia Forest?" Zi Ji looked at Bi Ji and asked.
"After hundreds of thousands of years, what’s there not to get used to?" Bi Ji grinned, "I’m rather envious of you, Zi Ji, being able to wander the outside world with Lord Chu Qin!"
"You could too!" Zi Ji glanced at Chu Qin and continued, "Following by Chu Qin’s side, there’s no need to conceal the soul beast aura. Chu Qin, am I right?"
"..." Chu Qin was slightly startled. Clearly, Zi Ji wanted Bi Ji to stay by his side!
Of course! That was exactly what Chu Qin hoped for!
Still, Chu Qin calmly and amiably replied, "Mhm!"
Upon hearing Chu Qin’s response, Bi Ji was somewhat tempted, but she still frowned and said, "But if I leave, who will take care of the Lord?"
"Does the Lord still need someone to take care of her? Bi Ji, if you want to go, then go!" Just then, the door to the inner room opened, and the awakened Gu Yuena stepped out gracefully.
"My Lord!" Zi Ji and Bi Ji immediately stood up and greeted.
Chu Qin even went straight to Gu Yuena’s side and said softly, "Why are you awake? Did we disturb you?"
Gu Yuena shook her head and smiled, "How could you possibly wake me up? But I sensed your presence! Qin, why have you come?"
With that, Gu Yuena took Chu Qin’s hands in hers.
"I came to Aquipeia Forest with someone to get a Soul Ring, and naturally, I took the opportunity to check on you!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.
"Ah, it was just on the way!" Gu Yuena sighed slightly, "I thought you came specially for me. It seems I was overthinking!"
"My Lord, don’t say that!" Zi Ji then said, "Chu Qin has really missed you, you know? He said he couldn’t even eat without you by his side."
"Really?" Gu Yuena’s eyes brightened as she looked at Chu Qin.
"Um... yeah!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena immediately threw herself into Chu Qin’s arms, burying her entire body into his embrace.
Feeling Gu Yuena’s unique scent and softness, Chu Qin’s hand that was on her beautiful back began to slowly move down!
Immediately, Gu Yuena’s face turned slightly red, and she chided with mock annoyance, "You bad thing, there are people around, you know?"
