“Husband.”
Flinch.
As Liu Xueyao spoke, everyone around her was stunned.
Especially the female disciples of the Holy Land of Yaochi.
What was going on? That pervert’s name wasn’t “Husband”, was it?!
Chu Feng looked at the woman before him. She slowly crouched down, her pair of cold, beautiful eyes fixed tightly on him.
Then, by sheer coincidence, from Chu Feng’s current position, when he looked up… he saw white.
“Husband, what are you playing at?”
Liu Xueyao tilted her head slightly. The motion added a hint of cuteness to her usual cold demeanor.
Chu Feng couldn’t help but be struck by the gesture. So this was the charm of contrast…cold and cute. He was sold.
“Husband?”
Listening to the woman in front of him, Chu Feng was completely confused. Was this some special way people from the Holy Land of Yaochi greeted others?
Otherwise, who would just call someone “husband” upon first meeting? He’d never even met this woman before—there wasn’t even the tiniest thread of a connection between them.
“Um… Sister, are you talking to me when you say ‘husband’?”
Chu Feng asked uncertainly. If she really meant him, then… was this a wife who fell from the sky?
“Yes, husband.”
Liu Xueyao continued crouching there, looking at Chu Feng. Though her expression showed no emotion, her gaze remained fixed on him, as if she were staring at a beloved treasure she couldn’t bear to part with.
Hearing the woman’s response, Chu Feng couldn’t help but mutter inwardly—
Well, before I transmigrated, I used to daydream about some girlfriend falling from the sky…
Never thought that after transmigrating, it would actually come true!?
And this was a full upgrade, not just a girlfriend from the sky, but a fully evolved version…a wife from the heavens!
“S-Saintess! He’s a pervert!”
The woman who had tied up Chu Feng spoke anxiously. She strongly suspected this pervert had used some high-level illusion technique to bewitch the Saintess’s mind.
The surrounding female disciples of the Holy Land of Yaochi were all too stunned to speak.
Did I hear that right? The Saintess actually admitted that this man was her husband??!!
What the hell!
This was even more shocking than the sun rising from the west. It was on par with [some country’s] soccer team winning a championship!
“No, he is my husband, not a pervert.”
Liu Xueyao refuted calmly.
This is even more shocking than the sun rising from the west. It’s on par with a certain team winning the World Cup!
Now wasn’t the time to be overthinking things. Since the Saintess had declared that he wasn’t a pervert, Chu Feng had to seize the chance to clear his name.
“Sister Saintess, you’re truly wise! This was really just a misunderstanding… I swear to the heavens!”
“Mhmm, I believe you, husband.”
Liu Xueyao said calmly.
She might be calm, but that didn’t mean everyone else could stay calm. Especially Su Mo, the Holy Son of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
“Miss Liu, a pervert’s words can’t be trusted. If you ask me, he’s just making excuses!”
But Liu Xueyao didn’t even spare him a glance.
Looking at the squirming Chu Feng on the ground, Liu Xueyao asked,
“Husband, are you uncomfortable?”
Chu Feng definitely felt the tightness of the Demon-Binding Rope…. uncomfortable was putting it mildly.
“Yeah… just a little.”
He had barely finished speaking when Liu Xueyao gently pointed a delicate finger and the rope instantly loosened.
All the female disciples: !!!???
Chu Feng was stunned again. She actually unbound him just like that!
I take back everything I said about the women of the Holy Land of Yaochi. Saintess, you’re a kind, beautiful big sister with a heart of gold!
“Thank you, sister Saintess! I’m truly grateful!”
But Liu Xueyao just gently shook her head.
“No need. As long as you’re happy, husband.”
Chu Feng was speechless.
He stretched out his limbs. After being tied up for so long…
He never imagined that the Saintess of the Holy Land of Yaochi would be so easy to talk to!
“Hold it right there! Even if Miss Liu agrees, I haven’t given my consent yet! You perverted bastard!”
Su Mo spoke up at this moment. After all the effort he’d put in, he still couldn’t get Liu Xueyao to say a word. Yet this pervert in front of him managed to get her undivided attention without doing anything at all. To be honest, Su Mo was feeling a bit jealous… no, furious!
“Hey hey, your Saintess already agreed.”
Chu Feng said with some displeasure, staring at the incredibly handsome young man in front of him.
Damn it! He’s actually better looking than me!
And what’s with calling me a pervert? I didn’t even peep at you!
Wait…why would I, a grown man, waste time peeping at another grown man anyway?
“Heh, I’m not someone from the Holy Land of Yaochi.”
Su Mo replied with a smirk.
Hearing that, Chu Feng quickly summed it up and shot back concisely, “Got it. So you’re not even human.”
In an instant, Su Mo’s temper flared, and he let out a cold laugh. “Just a mere second-rank cultivator!”
Su Mo locked his killing intent onto Chu Feng, ready to teach him a lesson. But in the very next moment, a chilling aura locked onto him in return.
“Miss Liu, are you seriously protecting this man?”
Liu Xueyao said nothing. She simply stepped in front of Chu Feng, an icy aura emanating from her body.
Her actions made her intentions crystal clear.
Now Chu Feng was completely at a loss. He hadn’t expected the Saintess of Yaochi to treat him this well!?
He had thought that as long as the Saintess believed he wasn’t some pervert, he’d already be counting his blessings.
The standoff between the two sides continued for a while, but in the end, Su Mo’s weaker cultivation meant he lost and had to back down, leaving with a face as dark as iron.
Chu Feng looked at the red-robed youth’s retreating back, feeling quite satisfied deep down.
Alright, now that the troublesome guy was finally gone…
It was time for him to leave too. This Holy Land of Yaochi wasn’t exactly the safest place for him to linger.
“Thank you, Sister Saintess, for stepping in to help. If fate allows, we’ll meet again. Farewell!”
He figured it was best to find Eunuch Cao as soon as possible. He couldn’t just leave his partner behind.
Chu Feng was just about to turn and leave when he suddenly found the Saintess of Yaochi standing directly in his path.
He tried going right. She moved right. He went left. She moved left.
“Sister Saintess, is there… something else?”
Chu Feng was puzzled. Weren’t things fine just a moment ago? Why was she suddenly blocking his way?
“Husband, you’re not allowed to leave. Stay with me.”
“Huh?!”
***
Somewhere in the Sky-Mending Secret Realm.
“You…”
A man clutched his throat, blood gushing uncontrollably from between his fingers. His hand trembled as he pointed at the young man before him. Beside him lay three other figures, now completely lifeless.
The young man toyed with the dagger in his hand and chuckled lightly. “Don’t blame me. If you must blame something, blame this world where the strong prey on the weak. Don’t worry….I’ll take good care of all your belongings.”
Thud!
The man’s body collapsed straight to the ground, eyes wide open, his breath completely gone.
As for the young man, he skillfully took the storage pouch.
“Treasure hunting in secret realms? Heh! Nothing pays faster than robbing in a secret realm. I, Hu Wan, truly am a genius.”
That’s right. This was the very same young man who had previously asked to team up with Chu Feng. Only now, his cultivation wasn’t second-rank. It was fourth-rank.
Hu Wan expertly opened the storage pouch to check what kind of treasures were inside.
“Well, well, not bad at all. I thought a second-rank rogue cultivator would be dirt poor, but turns out he’d stashed quite a few treasures.”
Clearly, this wasn’t Hu Wan’s first time doing something like this.
Suddenly, he noticed a piece of red demonic beast hide.
Taking it out for a closer look, he saw that a map was drawn on it. At the center of the map was a lake, marked with a big red X.
“Interesting.”
A cold smile curled at the corner of Hu Wan’s lips.
