Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 139 I won't be lonely when Qianxue comes out.

Fifteen minutes later.

Pei Wanyun put down the spiritual fruit in her hand, her expression becoming more serious, and said solemnly, "It's time to go to Tranquil Valley."

Although the little thing posed no threat to her, it was certainly an eyesore here.

Humans are inherently greedy.

Originally, Pei Wanyun only hoped to reunite with her husband.

Even if she is rejected, she will be content as long as she is not completely estranged from the other party.

But slowly, from the initial cautious probing to the irrepressible confession, then to a kiss, and the even greater anticipation of taking things further after that kiss.

Now, all she wants is to be alone with her husband, for as long as possible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lianshu also prepared to get up.

"Huh?"

But Su Jiu'er cried out and wrapped her tail around his wrist, not wanting him to leave.

The little one pretended to jump into his arms: "Waaah!"

She wants to go too!

"no."

Chen Lianshu pressed down on her thrashing head and refused.

Putting aside Su Jiu'er's mischievous personality, the rules for going to Jingxin Valley alone mean that this little one cannot be brought along.

"Only cultivators are allowed to enter Tranquil Valley; spirit beasts are not permitted."

"Besides, your spiritual power is unstable, and prolonged human form will lead to excessive consumption, so it's better to stay."

"Waaah—"

Su Jiu'er drooped her ears pitifully, her beautiful fox eyes looking at her husband with a wistful expression.

Chen Lianshu felt a little soft-hearted looking at her, but still shook his head: "Be obedient."

Seeing that her coquettishness was ineffective, Su Jiu'er had no choice but to listlessly lie back on the pillow, her tail swaying idly.

Seeing that no matter how pitiful she felt, her husband was about to leave, and she was just about to act like a brat when she meowed!

The hero has arrived!

Little Snow Flame had slipped over at some point.

Seeing that the fox was about to ruin its master's plans, it leaped from the corner and landed precisely in front of Su Jiu'er.

"Meow meow!"

It waved its claws at Su Jiu'er, as if to say, "Don't even think about causing trouble while I'm here."

Before the two left, Xueyan patted her chest in a very human-like manner, as if to say, "Leave it to me with confidence."

Pei Wanyun nodded to the little dumpling in response.

It truly lives up to its reputation as her spirit pet, and deserves all the love and care she has shown it.

I must reward Xueyan properly when I get back.

After leaving the side hall, the two walked down the stone steps.

They walked side by side, their sleeves touching.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Lianshu noticed her gaze.

Pei Wanyun readily admitted it without dodging: "It's up to you."

She even took the initiative to link arms with him, getting even closer to him.

Holding hands and interlocking fingers, she could finally be close to her husband.

And this was the only time the two of them could stay like this.

When we arrived at Jingxin Valley, although there weren't many people, it was still not very convenient.

This initiative surprised Chen Lianshu somewhat.

He had assumed that his master would be more open and affectionate after last night's kiss.

But this morning's evasive behavior made him think that the other party was just acting on impulse.

But now, with such proactive intimacy, she has completely lost the shyness she showed this morning.

I have no idea what she's thinking.

Pei Wanyun seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled gently, and explained softly, "Last night is last night, and this morning is this morning."

"And sometimes I need to be more proactive, but sometimes I can't be too reckless. I always have to leave some room for maneuver and be mindful of the limits."

"not to mention--"

She stopped talking.

Because Chen Lianshu looked at the slightly messy strand of hair by her temple, he couldn't help but reach out and tidy it up for her.

The sensation of her fingertips brushing against her earlobe caused her earlobes to quickly turn red.

Perhaps feeling it would be beneath her dignity as a master, she paused, then added, "I am your master—"

But these words only made Chen Lianshu chuckle: "So, is it Master or what?"

Pei Wanyun gave a playful yet willful answer: "It depends on my mood."

'

Chen Lianshu said no more, shook his head, and led her forward.

After this, Pei Wanyun spoke much less, simply staying quietly by her husband's side, their sleeves touching.

Her mind was clearly not on the road, but on something else.

Having only reached halfway up the mountain, he could no longer suppress the thoughts in his heart and suddenly spoke: "Lian Shu."

"Um?"

"Last night you said you would handle Qianxue's matter—"

After a moment's consideration, he slowly asked, "I'd like to know, what are you planning to do?"

Chen Lianshu glanced at her.

It turned out that she had been thinking about this the whole way.

"I haven't decided yet."

He answered truthfully.

"What's the general direction?"

Chen Lianshu shook her head again: "I don't know how Senior Sister will react, so I plan to wait and see."

"Qianxue's reaction—"

Pei Wanyun could probably guess.

In her memory, Mu Qianxue was disappointed after learning the truth, but she did not pursue the matter.

It truly pained her master to see this.

However, some things cannot be relied on memory too much, and now is a case in point.

"That's enough."

She sighed softly and shook her head.

For some reason, the nonsense I uttered last night suddenly came back to mind.

Three people—

I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I subconsciously said those words.

Even now, she feels that she was implying something back then.

After a moment's thought, Pei Wanyun subconsciously began to consider this possibility.

No, no.

She shook her head vigorously, banishing the improper thought.

Chen Lianshu naturally noticed her unusual behavior, but pretended not to see it.

"By the way, several sects that are on good terms with the Jade Jade Sect will be going to the Myriad Swords Sect to discuss Dao in a while."

To distract herself, Pei Wanyun brought up the news she had received some time ago: "The list hasn't been finalized yet. Are you interested?"

"The Ten Thousand Swords Sect—"

Chen Lianshu couldn't help but think of a chivalrous swordsman in blue robes: "We could go and take a look."

He also wanted to visit other sects.

Especially the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

That was a renowned sect, ranking highly in the entire cultivation world.

"Okay, I understand."

The two soon arrived at the territory of Tranquil Valley.

There were disciples on duty at the valley entrance. When they saw Pei Wanyun, they quickly bowed and said, "Peak Master Pei."

"Um."

Pei Wanyun nodded slightly.

Since they were not going deep into the valley, the two disciples did not stop the two from moving forward, but instead stepped aside to make way for them.

The valley was serene and filled with spiritual energy. The two of them, being in the outside world, did not see any secluded cultivation caves.

After walking for about half an hour, they saw two more disciples on duty, indicating that the disciples were in seclusion ahead.

"The place where I cultivate in seclusion is just ahead."

Standing at a distance, the two did not go in directly.

After wandering around the valley for a while, Pei Wanyun said softly, "Let's go."

"Not going to wait any longer?"

"No."

Pei Wanyun shook her head: "Let's go back."

"Staying here makes me more easily distracted."

Chen Lianshu did not refuse and followed her as she turned and walked back.

After taking only a few steps, Pei Wanyun suddenly asked, "Do you think Qianxue feels lonely all by herself?"

"Probably."

Chen Lianshu didn't know how to answer, so he guessed.

Pei Wanyun remained silent for a moment, her mind wandering, and inexplicably blurted out, "It won't be like this once she comes out."
