Chapter 555: Chapter 575: If I’m Not Greedy, I’ll Regret It for the Rest of My Life _1

Chu Jiaxue blinked but didn’t hide, her face turning red.

The kiss lasted for a long time.

It was gentle yet passionate.

Chu Jiaxue placed her hand on Lin Chen’s chest, gently pushing him away. Lin Chen came to his senses and took a step back, his gaze somewhat fervent.

Chu Jiaxue’s face was flushed and her eyes showed a touch of a woman’s tenderness.

She and Lin Chen had already legally registered their marriage, and their feelings for each other had deepened over the past six months.

When she went to find Guo Tang and claimed to be Lin Chen’s wife, she had already made up her mind, and that was why she didn’t refuse.

"You’re covered in dust, go wash up," Lin Chen said, releasing Chu Jiaxue with a smile. "Alright!" she replied.

Watching Lin Chen’s retreating figure, Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her eyes shy.

This was her first kiss after all.

Chu Jiaxue involuntarily thought of Gu Yuexi and couldn’t help but pout. Lin Chen could have chosen someone else, but he had to go after her cousin.

Men, hmph!

Lin Chen quickly washed up and came out, drying his hair as he asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Chu Jiaxue answered, "I had a simple snack earlier."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Then I’ll order some late-night snacks. I’m too lazy to go out. Let’s eat in the room."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Alright."

Women always take longer to shower, so by the time Chu Jiaxue came out with her hair dried, the late-night snacks had arrived. There were barbecued food, spiced dishes, and red wine.

"Have a drink?"

Chu Jiaxue walked over in her bathrobe and sat down in a chair. Her fair legs were crossed, revealing an enticing charm.

"Weren’t you injured?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s not a big issue."

Lin Chen poured wine for them both, clinked glasses, and smiled, "Can you talk about your experiences over the past few months?"

Chu Jiaxue chuckled, "You can."

Lin Chen nodded, "It’s been half a year since we last saw each other."

Chu Jiaxue smiled, her eyes squinting at Lin Chen, "Yeah, a lot has happened in this half year."

Lin Chen was slightly embarrassed and touched his nose, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Everything," Chu Jiaxue said with a light laugh. "When I left, you had just become a Grandmaster. When I came back, you were already an Innate Grandmaster, and a very strong one at that. You even have storage rings, such a precious item. Do you know that even among cultivators in the Cave Sky Blessed Land, not everyone can have storage rings..."

Lin Chen sighed in relief, thinking she was talking about Gu Yuexi.

"Although I’m in the human world, I’m like a foundation-building cultivator. It’s just that we suffer from the lack of spiritual energy," Lin Chen said.

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen and said with a smile, "Why, do you think I’m talking about Xiaoxi? Were you feeling embarrassed just now?"

Lin Chen’s expression froze, knowing that he would eventually have to address the issue. Besides, hadn’t his Aunt already discussed it with her?

Not a big problem!

Lin Chen sincerely stated, "Yue Yue’s situation is my fault, but now I can’t let go of you or her. You can call me greedy, you can call me fickle, but I will not let go."

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen’s bright eyes and suddenly laughed, "Look at your greedy face!"

Lin Chen looked at Chu Jiaxue laughing, feeling relieved.

"I can’t help being greedy. At most, I’ll be scolded for it. If I’m not greedy, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life," he said.

Suddenly, Chu Jiaxue spoke, "When Xiaoxi was injured back then, you gave up the opportunity to enter one of the Ten Great Cave Skies, Cangshan Cave Heaven, and sent Xiaoxi there instead. As her older sister, I’m truly grateful for what you did, and it’s one of the main reasons I decided to stay."

Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "Yue Yue was injured because of me, so naturally I had the responsibility to heal her. It was just an opportunity for Cangshan Cave Heaven. In fact, I think I made a big profit. Otherwise, if we both become cultivators and she remains an ordinary person, we’ll be worlds apart and separation is inevitable..."

"We’re separated now too," Chu Jiaxue sighed. "Cultivation indeed allows people to break the shackles of life, but it can also make people’s nature cold. Many people are willing to sell everything for the sake of becoming stronger, for reaching higher realms and living longer. Your actions are particularly valuable. Yue Yue has entered Cangshan Cave Heaven, but what about you? What will you do in the future?"

Lin Chen grinned, "Have you forgotten about the Heaven Opening Jade?"

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes lit up, "Is the Heaven Opening Jade also an entrance?"

Lin Chen nodded, "The Heaven Opening Jade is the entrance to Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky. I already know the whereabouts of the Gatekeeper. I can enter Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky whenever I want. Where are you situated in the Cave Sky Blessed Land?"

Chu Jiaxue answered, "Penglai."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, "The one on the sea?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "Yes, the Three Sacred Mountains of Penglai – Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. I went to Penglai. It’s not a Cave Sky Blessed Land, but it has the same nature..."
