Chapter 784: On the Verge of Desperation

“Senior Brother, what should we do now?” Zhiqiao and Jiuling, bound together, asked in confusion.

“It’s been a long time since I last came to Xuanjian Pavilion. Since we’re here, why don’t we all just wander around casually and then disperse,” Zhang Erdog sighed.

“Senior Brother Zhang, recently I’ve been practicing a new cultivation technique and would like your guidance,” Qianying said.

“Sure, no problem at all.”

Zhang Erdog smiled happily, naturally having no objections.

“I’ll also take a look around.”

“The scenery at Xuanjian Pavilion is quite pleasant.”

Tianyu, Fengjue, and Mieqiong each went their separate ways to explore where they wished to go. The Shamo Fourteen Bandits exchanged glances, clearly overwhelmed by the day’s events.

Their leader had carried his wife away—what were they supposed to do now?

No, they must pretend to be a united group and not appear too flustered.

Soon, the Shamo Fourteen Bandits also departed, followed by the surrounding disciples.

Eventually, only Zhiqiao and Jiuling remained.

Pata!

“Why did you do that? I was going this way.” The two tried to go their separate ways, but bound together, neither could move.

“No way! Why should I listen to you? I’m going this way.”

“Hmph! Let’s see who’s stronger.”

“Bring it on! Who’s afraid?”

Zhiqiao and Jiuling immediately began tugging against each other on the spot.

The backyard was long deserted.

Inside a room.

“It’s been five years since you came back—don’t you have anything to say to me?” A voice full of quiet discontent came from Xuanyun Xian inside.

“All words are in actions. My dear, did you miss me?”

“I did.”

“I missed you too.”

Clatter!

“Why can’t I undo this?!” Time ticked by as Lin Fan’s anxious voice came from inside the room.

“It’s not done like that. Let me help.”

“No, no, it’s fine. It’s just a piece of clothing. It can’t possibly stop me.”

Rip!

“See? I did it. How fast was that?”

“Slow down. We’re not in a rush. I just want to hold you properly,” Yunxian said.

“My dear, I’m not in a rush either, but someone else definitely is. My heart is already pounding,” Lin Fan teased.

“Dear, your skin feels even fairer, smoother, and more delicate now.”

“I’m getting ticklish!” Yunxian squirmed under his touch.

“Hehe, let your husband give you a massage. It has miraculous effects, you know.”

“Don’t massage there! It’s already big enough,” Yunxian whispered, blushing.

“No worries, no worries. I don’t mind. It’s round, perky, and looks just perfect.”

Pata!

Mmm…

A soft moan drifted from inside the room.

In broad daylight, such an indecent scene unfolded—truly scandalous.

“Dear, how was the Upper Realm? Was it dangerous?”

“It was okay. The battles there were about as intense as ours here, but manageable.” Lin Fan’s analogy was quite apt.

“This posture is so embarrassing. Kneeling here makes my body feel so cold.”

“Don’t worry, my dear. I’ll keep you warm.”

“Yes, a little more apart. There, just like that. Perfect.”

“Yunxian, your bottom is so beautiful—round and perky.”

“Dear, stop talking like that. I’m so embarrassed.”

“It’s fine. We’re old married folks now. Such beauty should be praised.”

“Dear…”

“Mm?”

“Dear, I noticed your words have become sweeter lately. Did something happen in the Upper Realm…”

“Hehe, my dear, would you prefer that I did or didn’t?”

“Oh no, don’t… don’t. There’s definitely nothing. Mmm… so good.”

The battle raged like a whirlwind sweeping across every corner, leaving destruction in its wake.

Moans filled with shyness echoed from the room, spreading through the backyard.

But since no one else was there, no innocent bystanders were harmed.

Night fell.

It was time for dinner.

Zhiqiao and Jiuling stared at the food before them—one holding chopsticks in her left hand, the other in her right.

Jiuling, holding the chopsticks in her right hand, enjoyed each delicacy with great pleasure.

Zhiqiao, awkwardly using her left hand, struggled to handle the chopsticks. She picked up a piece of meat, but it slipped and fell just before reaching her mouth.

“Feed me.”

Seeing Jiuling enjoying her meal so much, Zhiqiao called out.

“Don’t you have hands?” Jiuling replied.

“How can I eat with my left hand?” Zhiqiao said.

Jiuling glanced at Zhiqiao, then picked up a dish and placed it into her mouth.

“I want this one.”

“I want that one.”

“I want some soup.”

Zhiqiao looked at Jiuling, then picked up a spoon with her left hand and brought it to Jiuling’s lips.

Both Zhiqiao and Jiuling were greatly troubled by the colorful ribbon binding them, but since it was their master’s command, they dared not defy it.

For the two, sleeping together was the last thing they wanted.

But without another option, they had no choice but to stay together.

Even going to the bathroom and bathing had to be done together—it was truly uncomfortable for both.

In the backyard, Lin Fan held Xuanyun Xian in his arms, recounting all that had happened in the Upper Realm.

Xuanyun Xian’s heart was filled with concern. When she heard of the dangerous moments, she looked at Lin Fan with deep worry.

One spoke slowly, while the other listened quietly.

For Xuanyun Xian, she hadn’t expected her husband to have faced so many life-threatening situations—some moments were truly between life and death.

Of course, Lin Fan omitted the part about being overpowered by the Water-Fire Emperor. That would have been too embarrassing to admit.

“Dear, now that you’ve returned, will you go back again?” Xuanyun Xian gently stroked Lin Fan’s face and asked.

“Of course, I must return. There are still unfinished matters there,” Lin Fan replied.

“Does that mean we’ll have to separate again? Yunxian will miss you so much,” Xuanyun Xian said.

“Don’t worry. This time, I’m planning to take you all with me,” Lin Fan had already made up his mind.

Sometimes, individual strength is important, but to stand against the ancient clans, individual power alone is too small.

Only by uniting all available strength could they defeat the ancient clans.

Xuanhuang Realm was full of talents, and Lin Fan had already begun his plans. Although the effects might not be immediate, Lin Fan believed that soon, a group of powerful individuals would emerge.

“As long as we don’t separate again, Yunxian will be satisfied.”

Now, Xuanyun Xian no longer resembled the leader of a sect; she was more like a tender-hearted woman.

“Mm, don’t worry.”

Sometimes, Lin Fan would think about how strange life was.

Even with his personality, he had managed to find a wife. What good fortune.

“Alright, you must be tired today. Rest early. Tomorrow I need to go to the Holy Sect,” Lin Fan smiled.

Xuanyun Xian blushed, recalling the wildness of the day. She couldn’t even imagine herself acting so boldly.

What if the disciples found out?

But to Yunxian, none of that mattered anymore.
