Chapter 420: Always Been Like This
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Senior Brother, this is…”
The absolutely beautiful woman was none other than Su Yan, who had just come out of seclusion.
Although Su Yan didn’t directly advance to the Heaven Stage this time, she had still stepped into the late-phase of the Earth Stage and was only half a step away from the peak. She believed that it wouldn’t be long before she could break through to the Heaven Stage.
Of course, the reason why she was able to cultivate so quickly was not only because Su Yan was cultivating for a second time and did not have any bottlenecks, but also because she did not have to worry about spirit qi and cultivation resources at all.
One had to know that back in the Thunder Breeze Sect, Su Yan was not a holy maiden at first. Instead, she had undergone layers of selection and many years of observation before finally becoming a holy maiden.
Before this, she was almost no different from other disciples. She only had fixed cultivation resources every month.
Moreover, the Su Yan at that time was very different from the current Su Yan. Whether it was her outlook or her cultivation talent, they could be said to be worlds apart.
“She’s my friend, Long Xiaoyu.”
Qin Jue’s expression was slightly awkward as he introduced the two of them. “Su Yan, my lover.”
Lover?
Long Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes instantly widened as if she had suffered a heavy blow!
“Are you alright?”
Sensing Long Xiaoyu’s abnormal reaction, Qin Jue asked.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Long Xiaoyu was instantly awakened and shook her head. “Congratulations, Senior.”
Long Xiaoyu never expected that in just a few months, Qin Jue would have a lover. Fortunately, she was an expert at the eighth realm of the Great Void Stage and forcefully controlled her emotions so that she wouldn’t lose her composure.
“So you’re Senior Brother’s friend. h.e.l.lo.”
Su Yan greeted politely.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Long Xiaoyu forced a smile and answered.
“Um… I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”
After saying this, Long Xiaoyu quickly stood up and prepared to leave.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to rest here for the night?”
Qin Jue was puzzled.
“Because I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do, so… but if I have the time in the future, I’ll come and visit Senior again.” Long Xiaoyu whispered.
“Fine.”
Qin Jue was helpless.
Just like that, Long Xiaoyu soared into the sky and instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Watching Long Xiaoyu leave, Su Yan glanced at her and said faintly, “Sigh, another girl whose heart was broken by you.”
“Uh… what do you mean?”
Qin Jue was stunned.
Then, as if he had understood something, his mouth gaped in disbelief. “Could it be…”
“What else could it be?”
Su Yan smiled.
“…”
Qin Jue had always known that Luo Weiwei liked him, but he didn’t know that even Long Xiaoyu was interested in him. Logically speaking, he hadn’t interacted with Long Xiaoyu for long and rarely spoke to her. Could it be because he was handsome?
How could these cultivators be so superficial?!
Without waiting for Qin Jue to figure it out, Su Yan suddenly leaned on Qin Jue’s shoulder and changed the topic. “The moon tonight is so beautiful.”
In the night sky, the silver moon hung on the horizon like a jade plate, emitting a faint l.u.s.ter, mysterious and elegant.
“Yeah.”
Qin Jue nodded.
“If only it could be so peaceful forever.”
Su Yan sighed.
“Let’s live peacefully then.” Qin Jue said firmly.
“Yeah.”
In fact, there was something Su Yan did not say.
The happiest thing in this world was that the person you liked also liked you.
Su Yan was very glad that Qin Jue had chosen her.
“…”
…
After leaving the Divine Realm, Long Xiaoyu took a deep breath. The song Qin Jue had just sung suddenly appeared in her mind.
“The year I was seven, I grabbed that cicada and thought I could catch Summer.”
“When I was seventeen, I kissed his face and thought that we could last forever.”
“…”
Although Long Xiaoyu still did not understand many of the lyrics, she could already feel the sorrow.
“Your Highness, you’re finally out!”
At this moment, four White Dragon Race experts flew over from afar and heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyu had gone in for so long without any commotion, they were so frightened that they thought that something had happened. If anything happened to Long Xiaoyu, the four of them would be punished and even killed.
After calming down, Long Xiaoyu said, “Let’s go back.”
“Yes!”
“…”
…
As the envoys came to investigate one after another, the news of the Heavenly Palace’s appearance was finally confirmed. In an instant, all the forces chose to shrink their forces, afraid that they would accidentally offend the Heavenly Palace.
This was especially true for the White Dragon Race and the Martial Sacred Hall. As two of the three top factions, they had fought many wars in recent years to compete for cultivation resources. Their territory was extremely vast. Even though their territories had shrunk once before, they still wanted to be careful.
As for the always mysterious Demon Race, they had long been prepared. They wished they could hide in the s.p.a.ce they had created and never come out.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Emperor was unaware of the series of reactions in the outside world. He was focused on teaching Yun Xi while healing the remnant soul of a True G.o.d Stage expert.
Unknowingly, two months pa.s.sed. With Qin Jue’s help, not only did all the True G.o.d Stage remnant souls recover, but they also successfully reconstructed their bodies. Even their cultivation was comparable to when they were alive.
At the same time, the core higher-ups of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had all come to the Divine Realm to cultivate in seclusion. Only the tragic First Elder remained outside to oversee the overall situation. This allowed him to experience the feeling of being the sect master.
In addition, Su Yan had already advanced to the Heaven Stage and her cultivation speed had gradually slowed down.
After all, haste makes waste.
After jumping four realms in just half a year, it was time for her to relax. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to fall short
Therefore, for the next period of time, Su Yan spent almost every day with Qin Jue.
“Ha, when did I fall asleep last night?”
Opening his eyes in a daze, Qin Jue found that there was an empty wine pot by his feet. He was about to get up when he noticed that Su Yan was lying on his body.
“I remember.”
Qin Jue slapped his head.
Last night, Su Yan had made many delicacies to eat with him and then drank with him. In the end, Su Yan fell drunk after only a few cups and lay on the side to sleep. Why was she on him now?
However, with their relations.h.i.+p, there was no need for Qin Jue to mind it.
Thinking of this, Qin Jue continued to lie down and let Su Yan lie on his body until the sun set and the multicolored light filled the sky.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Heaven Stage cultivators no longer needed to eat or sleep, but Su Yan drank a hundred-year-old spirit wine. With her current cultivation, even circulating her spirit energy wasn’t enough to resolve it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken her so long to wake up.
Fortunately, spirit wine was brewed with heavenly treasures. Not only would it not affect her body, but it would also increase her cultivation. Therefore, Su Yan was exceptionally comfortable when she woke up.
When Su Yan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Qin Jue’s face. He had sharp brows, bright eyes, and a handsome face. He could be said to be flawless.
Even though Su Yan was extremely familiar with this face, she still couldn’t help but blush and hurriedly avoid his gaze.
“You’re awake?”
Qin Jue smiled.
“Yeah.”
Su Yan hurriedly got up from Qin Jue’s body, her movements careful.
“Hahaha, I haven’t seen you so shy in a long time.”
Qin Jue teased.
“…”
