Chapter 1444: Chapter 1403: Jealous

“Th-this… how is this possible!”

Penglai Immortal Domain, Ascension Peak, inside the Life Lamp Hall!

The disciple who came to clean the hall was diligently working, wiping down the place until it was spotless. Leaning on the mop, he proudly admired his hard work.

Until the corner of his eye caught sight of a life lamp on the altar growing dim, nearly to the point of extinguishing, which turned the disciple’s face deathly pale!

“The Vice Sect Leader’s life lamp… has extinguished!”

A quarter of an hour later, at Myriad Laws Peak!

The hall was almost packed with people, all of whom were significant figures from the Penglai Immortal Domain, including Law Transmission Elder, Domain Lords of the Six Domains, True Disciples, and others. The hall was filled with people, yet there was an eerie silence.

“Why is everyone silent? The Vice Sect Leader is dead! What do we do now?”

“Could we be mistaken? The Vice Sect Leader was a Spirit Splitting Realm expert, how could he possibly die at the hands of Lu Chuan?”

“What’s impossible? Didn’t someone return a few days ago saying that Lu Chuan is also a Spirit Splitting Realm cultivator? Not to mention the secular world is crawling with hidden experts. If Lu Chuan had summoned a reclusive ancient monster, then the Vice Sect Leader would naturally be in grave danger.

Moreover, the life lamp is closely linked to the Vice Sect Leader’s life. Now that it’s extinguished, it clearly shows…”

The Domain Lord didn’t finish his thought, but everyone present understood clearly.

The Vice Sect Leader is likely dead, and there’s no chance of survival; otherwise, the life lamp wouldn’t be in this state.

“The most important thing now is what to do next! The Sect Master still hasn’t returned. What if Lu Chuan comes back for revenge?”

“Would he dare? All six Domain Lords of Penglai Immortal Domain are Spirit Splitting experts. If Lu Chuan dares step into Penglai Immortal Domain, we’ll ensure he is utterly destroyed!”

…

Jiangbei Provincial City, Han family.

Xiu Niang finally arrived late, knocked on the door of the Han family, and quickly saw Nalan Xuan sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon. Her face sank as she angrily approached and said, “Nalan Xuan!”

“Stop yelling, it’s annoying.”

“How dare you speak? You just left without telling me! Do you know how tired I was running here?”

Hearing Xiu Niang’s accusatory tone, Nalan Xuan shrugged helplessly, “I did it for your sake. That Fan Qingyun is powerful; after burning his essence blood, his strength reached the Soul Division Seventh Stage. With that level of power, if I’d taken you with me, would you have survived?

Besides, even with four of us, we had a hard time against him. Adding you, we wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

“You! Tch, Spirit Splitting Realm, so impressive? Within five years, I will surely reach that realm!”

“Just so you know, Yun Ji and Li Yingnu have both successfully broken through to the Spirit Splitting Realm today, you better hurry up.”

“Even Li Yingnu?!”

“Is that surprising? Before her death, she was already on the verge of breaking through to the Spirit Splitting Realm. Now that she’s revived, her strength has long recovered. She didn’t intend to break through, but for Lu Chuan, she had no choice.”

Upon hearing this, Xiu Niang sighed lightly and sat in front of Nalan Xuan, grabbing a handful of grapes, which made Nalan Xuan glare at her.

“So, what about her? Has she confronted Lu Chuan? What did he say? How did they react?”

“What’s with your expression? You seem very eager. Of course, that’s not possible. Her daughter Ye Jiaxin already has Lu Chuan’s bloodline. With Li Yingnu’s temperament, she would rather tough it out than do something like that.”

“She thinks it’s that simple? If only it were that easy.”

“Let her be; her mind won’t change easily, and we aren’t in a position to say much.”

“Where’s Lu Chuan then? Why aren’t you with him, enjoying the moon alone?”

Nalan Xuan lifted her chin, indicating a pavilion in the back courtyard, and smiled, “He’s getting cozy with another woman, a new face, goes by the name Miao Conglu? Those captivating heterochromatic eyes even made me quite pleased.”

“What! Miao surname?”

“Keep your voice down, lest Lu Chuan hears. What’s wrong with the Miao surname? Since Lu Chuan dared bring her here, it proves he doesn’t mind; don’t annoy him over this.”

“I’m just a bit surprised. The Miao surname… aren’t they all experts in using gu?”

Upon hearing this, Nalan Xuan’s eyes flickered with a touch of intrigue.

“Probably not. I see that girl genuinely likes Lu Chuan. Ever since she stepped in, her eyes haven’t left him, so he knows what he’s doing.”

“You take it easy. Aren’t you jealous?”

“How could I not be? What woman would willingly share her man? But he’s just that kind of person, and I happen to like him. What can you do?

If I couldn’t bear it, wouldn’t it be easy for me to kill you all with my strength? But if I did that, my fate with Lu Chuan would be over.”

Nalan Xuan sighed deeply, popping the last grape into Xiu Niang’s mouth. She lightly bit down, and it was sour and bitter.

“Why is it so bad!”

“That one had a worm.”

“Bleh! You’re such a child! So boring!”

“I’m going back to my room. Go find Han Qingci to arrange a room for you. I haven’t sparred with anyone in a long time; I’m a bit weary.”

Saying this, Nalan Xuan stood up, placed down the cheongsam, and swayed her waist as she walked away.

Watching Nalan Xuan’s retreating figure, Xiu Niang pouted.

Tired? Clearly off to rendezvous with Lu Chuan! After spending so much time together, if she couldn’t even detect that little intention, then she’d really be a failure.

But anyway… since they have to stay in Jiangbei for some time, there’s no rush.

Well, maybe a little impatient.

…

The next morning!

Lu Chuan felt like he couldn’t breathe. Opening his eyes, he saw a beautiful leg pressed on his chest like a white python.

Lu Chuan gently moved the long leg aside and struggled to sit up, but still woke Nalan Xuan. Her phoenix eyes slightly opened as she wrapped around Lu Chuan’s waist and abdomen, softly saying, “Awake so early…”

“Your long leg was pressing down, I couldn’t breathe.” Lu Chuan smirked, pinching Nalan Xuan’s lovely leg, and laughed, “Too much meat.”

“Don’t you like it?”

“I do.”

“Tch, you’re such a pervert!”

Nalan Xuan pouted, turned over, and waved her hand, “Hurry up and leave, don’t disturb my sleep.”

“Is it that tiring? I didn’t even mess with you for long, right?”

“Who said that? Yesterday, I overexerted my Spiritual Power. That’s enough talk. If you’re leaving, hurry. Otherwise, shall we continue?”

“Better not, you rest well. I won’t disturb you, I’ll go first.”

Lu Chuan chuckled awkwardly, stood up to change his clothes, and quietly tiptoed out of the room.

Seeing this, Nalan Xuan just pouted, changed her position, and continued her sound sleep.
