Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

After turning off the system's light screen, Chu Xunfeng looked at the small courtyard not far away. The collapsed wall in his memory had been renovated, the gate was tightly closed, and there was no light.

However, there was still a sense of reassurance in Chu Xunfeng. The young man walked to the gate, took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open into the courtyard.

Chu Xunfeng's gaze fell upon the stone table in the courtyard, where the secret agent from the Demon Suppression Bureau, whom he had met once before, was sitting.

With a smile, Tuo raised his wine glass to Chu Xunfeng from afar, "I thought you wouldn't be coming back tonight."

Chu Xunfeng walked over and sat down opposite the crocodile. "Did you need something?"

"Of course, but first of all, congratulations on receiving the inheritance." Tuo took a sip of tea.

Chu Xunfeng nodded. "I'm sorry to make you wait three more years."

Before boarding the dragon ship, if Chu Xunfeng hadn't pushed the matter of the Yan Kingdom spy to Tuo, the spy in front of him should have also boarded the ship to go with Chu Xunfeng to undergo the Dragon Gate Trial and try to obtain the True Dragon Inheritance.

However, in response to Chu Xunfeng's apology, Tuo smiled and waved his hand, "Three years later, I'm afraid I'll already be at the Earth Profound Realm. If I were to regress to the fourth realm and start over, it would be a loss. Besides, although I wasn't involved in the Dragon Gate incident, I made a great contribution to the Demon Exorcising Division. The Serpent Lord bestowed many gifts upon me, which may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

"That's good." Chu Xunfeng nodded and looked at Tuo. "Let's get down to business."

"Well, this matter should have been handled by Snake Lord himself, but as you know, those people from Yan Kingdom have caused a lot of damage in the capital. The roof of Denglong Pavilion was blown off, and there was a fire in the commercial district... Snake Lord is indeed too busy to take the time to handle it."

"understand."

"These items are a token of my gratitude. The Serpent King also asked me to tell you that once he's finished with his work, he will personally take you to his collection to pick out one or two items as an apology." The crocodile took out a gold and jade bracelet from his bosom and placed it on the stone table. "I've personally handed the items to you. I also have some things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

[User, a sixth-grade storage magic item.]

Chu Xunfeng wasn't quite sure how valuable a sixth-grade storage magic item was, but he had some common sense and knew that this thing... was definitely very valuable.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Chu Xunfeng asked, looking at the crocodile that had already gotten up.

"That's between you and Snake Lord. I'm just a gofer." The crocodile smiled. "I'm leaving now. After this busy period, I'll treat you to drinks. After all, that credit was a gift from you to me."

Chu Xunfeng could only respond with a sigh. After sending the alligator away, he looked at the gold and jade bracelet lying on the stone table and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It would be a lie to say I don't want this, but...

He suspected that the Snake King had also intended to give this gift to his brother-in-law.

He felt it was a little hot to the touch.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Supreme Sword Sect Prepares to Make a Move

The wind is formless, yet it has form.

Slow down and soothe; swiftly and fiercely attack.

Sensing wind is equivalent to sensing speed.

When something passes by, it leaves a trace, and then the wind rises. If it rises quickly, the wind is strong; if it rises slowly, the wind is weak.

The young man sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed. The cool spring breeze gently brushed his cheeks, yet lingered around him, softly ruffling his collar.

A gentle breeze brought news: a quiet footstep was approaching the courtyard where they lived.

As the wind-elemental spiritual energy dissipated, the strange breeze also stopped. Chu Xunfeng opened his eyes and looked towards the main entrance.

If my perception of the wind is correct, the next second...

There was a knock on the courtyard gate. Chu Xunfeng smiled with satisfaction and got up to open the door.

The wooden door was open, and the tall dragon girl tilted her head slightly, looking at the young man standing behind the door. "How did you sleep last night?"

"Very good." Chu Xunfeng smiled and led Ao Hanli into the small house.

The dragon girl noticed that the young man seemed to be in a good mood, and being straightforward, she asked him directly why.

"The legacy left by Senior Canglong has filled a very important gap in my cultivation," Chu Xunfeng said with a smile.

"What?" Ao Hanli was a little confused. In her opinion, Chu Xunfeng was simply a perfect hexagon, cultivating three things at the same time and overlapping three intentions. He was just waiting to break through the Three Profound Realms to directly transform into a monster that was hard to beat among his peers.

"Perception." Chu Xunfeng smiled. "Although the Wind Sensing Technique is only a visualization method at the Third Profound Realm, it does not focus on combat and special skills, but rather on auxiliary abilities. By keenly sensing the flow of wind, the wind can bring me a continuous stream of information."

"..." Ao Hanli was speechless. Chu Xunfeng was truly a hexagonal warrior this time. The so-called perception ability is a very vague concept. Although most cultivators have their own methods, they are basically secrets that are not passed on. After all, if they are spread too much, they are easy to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

However, Chu Xunfeng didn't care at all, because there are very few ways to stop the flow of air.

"I shouldn't have said anything," Ao Hanli shook her head dejectedly. "You've given me a hard time first thing in the morning."

"The Cloud Qi Divine Power can also cultivate similar abilities of detection and perception. I haven't yet cultivated the divine power inheritance left by Senior Ao Jie, but I have learned some of it. If you want to learn it, I can copy a copy and give it to you."

"Really?" Ao Hanli's eyes widened.

“Of course.” The young man smiled. “After all, I have the supernatural powers of the dragon race. If needed, I can make a copy of all the visualization techniques, including the Wind Sensing Technique.”

"Then I will thank you on behalf of my mother." Ao Hanli nodded solemnly. As for inheritance, it would be best if it could be preserved and spread. As long as one has spiritual roots, one can cultivate visualization techniques. Bloodline supernatural powers are all from the Dragon Clan. It is normal for similar supernatural powers to appear in one or two generations.

“After all, it is the legacy of the Dragon Clan.” Chu Xunfeng smiled.

He was already preparing to break away from the demon race. He obtained the dragon race's inheritance and then returned it to the dragon race, which could be considered as settling his karmic debts.

"Although I'd love for you to get started quickly, I'm not in a rush," Ao Hanli said, her words carrying a hint of insincerity. "Let's take care of your business first. What are you planning to do today?"

Chu Xunfeng didn't expose the dragon girl in front of him who was not good at hiding her feelings. "Is there any news about the whereabouts of the Yan people?"

Ao Hanli thought for a moment before answering, "I don't know much either. Second Brother has already led the Demon Suppression Division and the grassland tribes out of the Southern Wilderness Mountains. As for whether they have caught anyone, I don't know yet. If the secret agents from Yan Kingdom were determined to escape, Second Brother and the others would not have been able to break out of the Southern Wilderness Mountains and run to Xu Kingdom to catch them."

"Xu Kingdom..." Chu Xunfeng pondered for a moment.

He wondered if the Serpent King might cooperate with the Xu Kingdom to capture the Yan Kingdom's spies. If this cooperation were to be achieved, it would lay the foundation for future trade between the Yao Sheng Kingdom and the Xu Kingdom...

Thinking of this, Chu Xunfeng looked at the Second Princess of the Dragon Clan, who seemed to have no involvement in the political system, and asked, "Has His Highness the Fourth Prince told you what the Demon Clan plans to do next?"

"No, but I heard that my elder brother seems to be planning to discuss with Mother the possibility of adjusting and changing national policies..." Ao Hanli was quite carefree, telling Chu Xunfeng, whose stance was unclear, about such an important matter. After she finished speaking, the Dragon Girl seemed to realize what was going on and looked Chu Xunfeng up and down suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Xunfeng smiled and said, "I do have some immature ideas."

"That's perfect." Ao Hanli stood up. "Sister Hongji contacted me last night, saying she wanted to see you. Shall we go now?"

"No rush, we still have to wait for someone." Chu Xunfeng stood up and walked towards the private room. "Let's have a cup of tea first."

Ao Hanli had no objection, after all, it was early in the morning, and Sister Hongji probably didn't have any free time at this moment.

As for who she was waiting for, she didn't ask, but she could guess in her heart.

Last night, when I parted ways with Chu Xunfeng, that thought popped into my head again.

Am I inferior to others?

Meanwhile, in an inn at the junction of the north and south districts of the capital.

The woman, whose previously sallow face had finally regained some color, sat in the lobby of the inn, looking at the old woman sitting opposite her. "Master, how much longer can we stay in the Demon Kingdom?"

The old woman didn't answer immediately. Instead, she picked up her bowl of rice porridge, pondered for a moment while drinking it, and then slowly asked, "If Chu Xunfeng doesn't come, how long do you plan to wait here?"

Ning Qiu Ning remained silent for a while before giving her answer, "Two months."

"Then we'll wait here with you for two months." The old woman's slow and deliberate reply surprised Ning Qiu Ning.

A faint smile appeared on the woman's face. "Thank you, Master."

"But, two months later, he still hasn't come, and you've given up?" The old woman's question left Ning Qiu Ning silent for a long while.

"I think she'll give up," Ning Qiu Ning replied, though she herself lacked confidence.

“If you just wait here for the next two months, hoping he will give you a chance, it seems unlikely you will get any results.” The old woman looked at Ning Qiu Ning and shook her head, seemingly quite helpless. “I have some old acquaintance with Xu Jiu Jing of Baidi City, so I will help you make some arrangements.”

"I dare not say how effective it will be, but if you can be open and honest with him and control your emotions sooner, I am willing to save face for you this time."

Ning Qiu Ning was stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened, she pursed her lips to hold back her tears, and looked at the old woman, "Disciple...thanks to Master."

"Well, but I need to tell you this beforehand." The old woman rarely showed any emotion, but looked at Ning Qiu Ning and said, "My choice this time is twofold. First, you have become my disciple, and Chu Xun Feng is valuable and worth winning over. But I must tell you that in my eyes, you are more important than him."

"Don't demean yourself for his sake. Take these few days to calm your emotions and think clearly about how you want to face him."

“You look so pale and thin right now, I feel sorry for you. You are not suitable to go out and see people, let alone in front of their elders.”

Ning Qiu Ning paused for a moment, then nodded obediently.

"The disciple understands."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Dragon Clan's Attitude

Chu Xunfeng and Ao Hanli didn't have to wait long; in less than the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Xu Bailing has arrived.

Chu Xunfeng had intended to greet the two, but the two who met in the courtyard immediately ignored him and started talking.

"Miss Xu, I've heard so much about you," Ao Hanli said with a smile.

"Miss Ao, I've heard so much about you." Xu Bailing keenly sensed the sharp edge hidden in Ao Hanli's smile, which was directed at her. She responded with a smile without showing any emotion, while at the same time pondering a question: Could there be some grudge between her and this dragon girl?

"A hundred rumors are not as good as one meeting." Ao Hanli carefully observed Xu Bailing, her words filled with admiration.

When the Dragon Girl traveled through the three regions of Kyushu, she had also visited Dizhou and heard the stories of Baidi City and the elegance of Baidi's daughter. However... she found it hard to connect the legendary indifferent sword immortal of Baidi with the elegant woman in front of her.

"The rumors may not be wrong, it's just that I'm the one who changed." Xu Bailing watched Ao Hanli lead the way and naturally followed.

Chu Xunfeng followed silently behind the two women.

"I've also heard some things about Your Highness." Xu Bailing smiled as she sized up the stunningly beautiful dragon girl. "Your Highness seems to have once stood up for justice in Liuzhou and caused a ruckus at the Ghost Clan's Ghost Market?"

Ao Hanli paused for a moment, then waved her hand dismissively, “That time was a special case. If it weren’t for the tacit approval of the Ghost Elder, I wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in the Ghost Market with my cultivation level.”
