Chapter 79 - 78: Is She Also a Famous Person?

Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Is She Also a Famous Person?

"It’s late, my dear. We should rest."

At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Mmm~" Pei Yuenan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum, her head lowered even more, and her face turned redder.

In an instant,

the shadows of the two of them fell onto the bed.

In the room, only their slightly urgent breathing was audible, along with the sparse sounds of clothes being removed.

Among life’s three great joys, the wedding night, this was already Chen Xuan’s third.

It had to be said, this was one of the reasons why he liked this world so much.

On the bed, the atmosphere was amorous, Chen Xuan was commanding, while Pei Yuenan’s starry eyes were tightly shut.

Having already fueled up, Chen Xuan began to move.

Pei Yuenan furrowed her brows, letting out a soft "Mmm" from her small mouth.

Chen Xuan was like a wild horse galloping on the prairie, uninhibited and unrestrained.

....

Late at night.

In the sky, a bright full moon.

The cold moonlight cascaded down, draping the Chen Mansion’s garden in a thin layer of silver sand.

Especially on the surface of the pond, it gave a feeling of coldness.

At this moment, in the pavilion.

Chen Xiu and Primordial Thunder sat opposite each other.

As for the others, they had already left the Chen Mansion.

"Why did you ask me to stay?" Primordial Thunder was quite puzzled, as after he was asked to stay, the two of them came to this pavilion, yet the old man said nothing.

Although he had no fancy for women, he still had a few,

but in the dead of night, with two grown men, and an old man at that, he’d rather go find a woman to warm his bed, wouldn’t that be more satisfactory?

"I’m leaving."

At this moment, Chen Xiu finally spoke.

"Leaving? Where to?" Primordial Thunder’s sharply arched eyebrows furrowed slightly, uncertain of the meaning behind his words.

"Home, to return to one’s roots!"

Chen Xiu looked up at the full moon in the sky, his gaze complex, his thoughts overwhelming.

"What’s really going on with you?" Primordial Thunder asked in a deep voice, feeling a growing sense of unease, could it be.....?

"Haha," Chen Xiu gave a bitter smile, then looked at him, "What else could it be? I’m old and I miss home."

With that said, he paused.

"Ah, won’t be living much longer."

After a long while, he finally revealed the true reason.

"What?" Primordial Thunder exclaimed, his eyes wide open in shock and disbelief.

"Has your injury from back then never healed?"

"Hmm!" Chen Xiu nodded, feigning a carefree tone, "It hasn’t healed, has only worsened, but it’s been bearable, having endured all these years, it’s worth it."

Though he appeared carefree, his heart was filled with regret.

Falling from Fourth Grade to Fifth Grade wasn’t enough; all these years, he’s been tormented by the injury.

Had his skills not been strong enough, he would have died long ago.

Back then,

when the Inspectorate’s trio of Fourth-Grade experts surrounded and attacked him, his ability to escape was already something to boast about.

But the price was enduring countless attacks.

Leaving him internally damaged, with shattered apertures, energy coursing chaotically without channels.

If he hadn’t reached Fourth Grade before, he would have died by now.

Yet despite this, he now feels his body weakening day by day.

He likely won’t hold on much longer.

So, he thought of going home.

As age catches up, one reminisces about hometown, returning to one’s roots; nobody wishes to die away from home, to become a lost spirit.

It’s also why he worked as a boatman at the black market dock back then.

With hopes of encountering someone with talent, to take them as a disciple and pass on his legacy, considering the trouble he went through to obtain the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique, losing it would be a great regret.

Fortunately, fate was kind to him, bringing him Chen Xuan.

An ordinary village hunter who turned out to be an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist, so young too, and most importantly, when he called him "sir," it brought a sense of familiarity.

This led to the passing down of the cultivation technique.

To his amazement, truly amazed.

This kid actually managed to reach perfection in cultivating the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (upper section) in a short amount of time.

When he initially gave him the technique, he didn’t even hold much hope.

Now it seems, fate showed mercy to this old man who is about to die by bringing Chen Xuan before him.

The subsequent challenges in the West District Hall Master’s arena were to help him establish a foothold in the black market.

And forming ties with the Pei Family even further.

Now, he’s just one step away from the Fifth Grade, with this kid’s frightening cultivation speed, a month or two should be enough.

Then by that time, the kid should be about there too.

He’s done all he could for him, the rest depends on his own abilities.

"Xiu Chen, oh Xiu Chen, why did you even bother fighting for that cultivation technique back then, otherwise with your talent, even without reaching Third Grade now, you’d be very close."

Primordial Thunder looked at this old friend of many years, with such talent, yet facing death, his heart filled with sorrow.

"Xiu Chen! Haha, it’s been years since I’ve heard that name."

Seemingly reminiscing about the past self, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Once, he was considered a figure who caused a stir, with a promising future ahead.

But who could have foreseen that after the new emperor ascended to the throne, such things would happen.

For a while, every martial artist was tucking their tails in.

It was precisely Chen Xiu who had a rebellious streak and, upon hearing the Inspectorate was raiding a sect, heard of a Nine Revolutions Secret Technique.

Though not top-tier, the cultivation technique was still of high quality.

So, he was tempted.

Then he went to steal from the Inspectorate, and though he ultimately succeeded, this was the end result.

Regret?

At least at the time, he had no regrets.

Now, even if he regrets, he wouldn’t admit it.

He is just that kind of proud person.

"Yes, Young Master Xiu Chen was once the heartthrob who enchanted many young maidens, but now he’s a wrinkled old man; who would’ve thought?"

Suppressing his inner sorrow, Primordial Thunder smiled and jested.

"Bullshit! If I hadn’t suffered such severe injuries, I wouldn’t look like this lousy mess," Chen Xiu grumbled, glancing at him indignantly.

"You’re better than me. Back then, you fared well too. Now, aren’t you hiding out here in this desolate Yunze County, waiting to die?"

"Yes, waiting to die!"

Primordial Thunder sighed.

Afraid!

There’s no choice; the new emperor is too ruthless, killing too many people, making even these martial artists fear.

Even geniuses dare not show any sign.

Who knows if one day they might wake up to find themselves surrounded by those brutes from the Inspectorate.

That’s why they’ve come to this remote Yunze County to hide.

They also pulled in Zuo Qiu Ming.

Otherwise, with his meager skills, would it be necessary to give a third of the black market dividends to him every year?

It’s like spending money to buy peace.

"Yeah, afraid," Chen Xiu nodded, and at this moment, a trace of fear appeared in his deep eye sockets.

"When are you leaving?"

"When that kid reaches Fifth Grade! Anyway, I can hold out for a while longer, but...." he paused here and looked at Primordial Thunder with a pleading face, "After I leave, if he encounters any trouble, I hope you consider our years of friendship and help him out. This is my last request as an old friend."

"Rest assured, I’ll handle it; just afraid there’s not much time left," Primordial Thunder also showed concern at this point.

Peace had barely lasted for a few years, and now chaos was beginning again.

According to the information from Zuo Qiu Ming, Fengyang County in Celestial Water Commandery is already surrounded by rebel troops, allegedly on the brink of being breached, but the imperial court hasn’t sent reinforcements, nor does Celestial Water Commandery want to send anyone.

And Fengyang County is only a hundred miles from here.

If Fengyang County is genuinely conquered by the rebels, Yunze County will be in danger.

At that time....there will really be a need to flee.

"Leave it to fate. I’ve helped him this far. The future path, how he walks it, is his business. If you can lend a hand, do it; I’m not his father and can’t manage that much."

Chen Xiu said casually.

In fact, he has already done quite enough.

"But before leaving, I have to clear one major trouble for him." Suddenly, he changed the topic.

"Are you referring to the Yao Family?"

Primordial Thunder knew him too well and instantly guessed his thoughts.

"Yes, Yao De isn’t good news; that despicable thing is incredibly vicious. He swallowed his pride this time, apologized, and compensated with such lavish gifts. Who knows what sinister ideas he’s brewing inside?"

"Hmm," Primordial Thunder nodded in agreement. That Yao De is notoriously ruthless.

The Yao Family’s current status can be attributed to him, relying on his ruthlessness.

But....

"You’d better not touch him for now; Zuo Qiu Ming won’t agree. The task from Celestial Water Commandery to submit weapons is still relying on the Yao Family. If you act now, Zuo Qiu Ming will undoubtedly turn hostile, and then it will be troublesome."

Primordial Thunder was advising him at this point.

Although Zuo Qiu Ming’s strength is only so-so, he is, after all, a person from the imperial court.

If not necessary, it’s better not to provoke him.

"Hmm, I’ll give him a heads-up in advance. After all, Chen Xuan has to stay in Yunze County; I can’t just kill happily and leave the troubles for him afterward."

He wasn’t stupid and knew this much.

"Enough...."

After saying this, he sauntered away from the pavilion.

At this moment, Primordial Thunder gazed at the cold round moon in the sky, sighed, and his figure gradually disappeared from the spot.

....

Morning.

Today, Chen Xuan truly found it hard to open his eyes.

It’s undeniable that Seventh-Grade Martial Artist’s stamina is very good; even without Su Wanqiu’s overwhelming attraction, Pei Yuenan’s physical endurance remains unmatched.

As a man, no matter what else might fail, this aspect must be dominant.

And so, it went on again and again....relentless.

Eventually, both were exhausted, by which time it was almost dawn.

At this moment, the cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind once more.

"[Successfully collected the Famous Spring Water flawless!]"

"[Reward host with 200 Skill Points!]"

"[Collecting the Famous Spring Water flawless, reduces the difficulty of understanding cultivation techniques and martial skills by 20%]"

"[Collecting the Famous Spring Water flawless increases its quantity, boosting the Spring Water effect for a skill point bonus of 20%]"

"[After countless rounds of battle with Pei Yuenan, reward of 60 skill points from spouse Su Yun is awarded! Famous Spring Water bonus of 12 points!]"
