Chapter Index

    young husband

    For nearly a month, there was no movement on the frozen white cliffs of Hanling Mountains. Qiu Yin’an was not only anxious but also bored.

    Because Wan Qiongju was groggy for some reason during the day, and besides having fun with him, he spent most of his time sleeping. Sometimes he wanted to talk to Wan Qiongju to relieve his boredom, but before he could say a few words, Wan Qiongju became sleepy.

    It was the same today. Wan Qiongju fell asleep again within an hour of waking up in the morning. It has been three hours now. He occasionally talks in his sleep to prove that he is still alive.

    Qiu Yin’an was worried that he would become stupid if he slept like this, so he hesitated and decided to wake him up.

    “My little husband, wake up quickly.” Qiu Yin’an rubbed Wan Qiongju’s cheek and called him affectionately.

    Wan Qiongju opened his eyes drowsily, “What’s wrong? Did I say anything strange in my sleep again?”

    Qiu Yin’an: “No, I was worried that it would be bad for you to sleep too much, so I wanted to ask you to get up and move.”

    Wan Qiongju rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist, “It’s time to move around.”

    Wan Qiongju held Qiu Yin’an’s neck with one hand and held his waist with the other. He turned over and placed Qiu Yin’an on the bed.

    Qiu Yin’an clenched his fist and punched Wan Qiongju’s shoulder, “I didn’t want you to do that kind of thing.”

    Wan Qiongju curled her lips slightly and took a sip on Qiu Yin’an’s face, “I know, I was just teasing you.”

    Qiu Yin’an pushed Wan Qiongju away, sat up and straightened his robe, “When you go back, let Haidi show you why you are so sleepy every day.”

    Wan Qiongju: “I have nothing to do. Don’t worry. I might be bored staying here all day, so I slept more.”

    Qiu Yin’an sighed: “Me too, I’m so bored. When will this ice freeze end?”

    Wan Qiongju: “Master, if you are bored, tell me the story of Qingxuan Peak. I want to hear it.”

    Qiu Yin’an shrugged and spread his hands, “There is nothing to talk about. Telling you this will only make me more bored. If you want to know, go back and read by yourself. There is a book specifically recording these things.”

    Wan Qiongju: “But I can’t remember it accurately in the book. Books always only remember good things. I want to hear something different. For example, what happened when Qingxuan Peak was entrusted by God to seal the demon clan? Is there anything unknown in it?”

    “Qingxuan Peak’s famous sect is upright and upright. There is nothing unknown. Looking at the world of cultivation, who is stronger than Qingxuan Peak? The gods will definitely choose the best sect when appointed. This is something everyone knows. What is there to say?”

    Qiu Yin’an raised his sleeve and slapped Wan Qiongju’s leg, “You asked so strangely, as if you were questioning me.”

    “How could I question Master? Master lives an honest life and is the purest person in the world. I am just curious about the past of the great sect and chatting with Master. Since there is nothing to say, let’s talk about something else.”

    Wan Qiongju hugged Qiu Yin’an and sat with his back against the bed rail, letting Qiu Yin’an lie on top of him in a lazy posture. “At the moment, I’m a little worried about Bai Chengying. He doesn’t love you, but he wants you like crazy.”

    Qiu Yin’an played with a strand of Wan Qiongju’s hanging hair, “I don’t care if he loves me or not, I just ask him not to pester me and to be normal. In fact, he was very good before, eh, forget it.”

    Thinking of Bai Chengying’s past, Qiu Yin’an’s heart felt as if she had been punched and felt a sharp pain.

    Wan Qiongju: “I always have a hunch that when we are together, he will never give up.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “I have already told him that when I find the sitting Buddha’s hand, I will clear things up with him.”

    Wan Qiongju: “How can we clear up the two sides? Doesn’t Master still plan to strengthen the barrier with him to deal with the witch cultivators?”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Public is public, private is private. Qingxuan Peak enjoys the respect of everyone and protects the peace of all living beings. He and I have the unshirkable responsibility. No matter what the relationship is, we must complete the task.”

    Wan Qiongju: “After Bai Chengying recovers his heart, he will work with you to strengthen the barrier. Will he also break through to the Holy Master? Master, have you ever thought about what Bai Chengying will do if he joins forces with Chen Liang after being promoted to the Holy Master? Before, he was always thinking about being a pair with you, but he was always neutral and hesitant. Now that you have completely cut off his thoughts, he is very likely to turn against Chen Liang, and then you are in danger.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “The soul-protecting lamp is in my hand. If it really comes to that point, both sides will suffer, and no one will be able to win. He probably won’t do that.”

    Wan Qiongju: “The two sides are about the same strength. The difference between victory and defeat is just a matter of thoughts. You may still lose to them.”

    Qiu Yin’an looked up at Wan Qiongju, “So? What exactly do you want to say?”

    Wan Qiongju: “I wonder if Master can teach me the sealing technique and let me seal the demon clan with you. Please wait for me and give me some time. Don’t give Bai Chengying a chance to break through and be promoted.”

    In fact, Qiu Yin’an had this plan in mind, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate.

    One reason is that because Chen Liang is having such a quarrel with the sorcerer, everyone will definitely urge him to strengthen the barrier. If he resists, it will definitely make people panic. At that time, who knows if someone will cause some trouble to disrupt the order of the cultivation world in order to save their lives.

    Secondly, although Qiu Yin’an holds the true soul protection lamp, he himself is also panicked. Although Chen Liang is not good at sealing, he is not an idiot. The strength of the shaman cultivators is unfathomable. If they break the barrier by mistake, there will be no way to recover.

    Therefore, the sooner the barrier is strengthened, the better, to avoid unnecessary complications.

    From this point of view, waiting for Wan Qiongju’s cultivation to improve is not the best option. The fastest way is to repair Bai Chengying’s heart and use the sealing technique with him to strengthen the barrier.

    But what Wan Qiongju just said made sense, and Qiu Yin’an was shaken.

    Bai Chengying was originally hesitating between Chen Liang and him, fighting against Wu Xiu and strengthening the barrier together. Bai Chengying was able to discern the truth and would not make any betrayal mistakes. However, after they strengthened the barrier together and made Wu Xiu and Chen Liang give up, the situation at that time was a battle between him and Chen Liang for the throne.

    Although Qiu Yin’an has never regarded Bai Chengying as a rival, based on her current relationship with him, Qiu Yin’an is not sure that Bai Chengying will not intervene in this matter.

    The elders in the sect always faced the fight between him and Chenliang in silence. Chenliang hated himself to the core. Unlike himself, he would choose to keep Qingxuanfeng alive because he wanted to preserve Qingxuanfeng’s position as the number one sect in the world. But Chenliang was different. If Bai Chengying helped Chenliang, Chenliang would definitely find an opportunity to kill him without mercy.

    If Qiu Yin’an was still alone, he could risk his life and bet that Bai Chengying would remain neutral and not help Chen Liang deal with him.

    But he is not alone now. He has someone he loves very much. If he loses the bet, what will Wan Qiongju do?

    Bai Chengying hated Wan Qiongju so much that he wished he could cut him into pieces. Without his protection, would Wan Qiongju still have a chance to survive?

    Qiu Yin’an fell into deep thought.

    “Master, my current ability is not enough to protect you. I am afraid that the dangerous people around you will continue to become stronger, especially Bai Chengying. If one day, you and I are defeated by Chen Liang and Bai Chengying, Bai Chengying will definitely want to take the opportunity to get you and force you. I dare not even think about such a thing.”

    Wan Qiongju held Qiu Yin’an’s hand tightly and said, “Give me some time. I won’t let you down. I will be your most reliable helper. If you and I work together, everything will go much smoother.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Let’s take it one step at a time. Who knows what will happen in the future.”

    “Everything is subject to Master’s instructions.” Wan Qiongju placed a kiss on Qiu Yin’an’s hesitant lips, “Now that I am practicing dual cultivation with you, I can feel the spiritual energy surging in my body blending with yours, and our hearts are intertwined.”

    Qiu Yin’an patted Wan Qiongju’s face and said, “Your cultivation is low now, and both of your cultivations are plundering my essence. Little bastard, I really love you so much that you let you consume me like this.”

    Wan Qiongju smiled sweetly and said, “The disciple has no way to repay me. I can only work as a cow and a horse for the master after I have achieved great success.”

    “Speaking of dual cultivation -” Qiu Yin’an suddenly smiled evilly and held Wan Qiongju’s shoulders, “You are awake now, and we have nothing to do, so why not let your husband be happy.”

    Wan Qiongju squeezed Qiu Yin’an’s waist, “It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that the things Brother Xiaoye gave me have been used up. Without them, I’m afraid Master will be afraid that I’ll be in pain and I won’t be able to enjoy my visit.”

    “Used it all?” Qiu Yin’an took out the small white jar from under the pillow in disbelief. Once he opened it, it was completely bare, and there really wasn’t any left.

    Qiu Yin’an pouted and threw the small white jar to Wan Qiongju, “It’s all your fault for not knowing restraint, little beast. I haven’t tasted the sweetness yet.”

    “Master, why didn’t you taste it?” Wan Qiongju leaned over and began to pull Qiu Yin’an’s clothes dishonestly, “Master, don’t you like it?”

    “I’m afraid that your mouth will be exhausted.” Qiu Yin’an pushed Wan Qiongju, “Stop it, I want to go out for a while, even if I want to look at the ice at the entrance of the cave, I’m really going to go crazy in this room.”

    Wan Qiongju said while putting on her boots: “It’s boring to watch. I’ll take Master to play on the ice.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “How to play?”

    Wan Qiongju took Qiu Yin’an’s hand and said, “Come with me.”

    With a bang, a small ice cube exploded on the stone wall, like blooming fireworks, frozen in the most beautiful moment. Qiu Yin’an held it in both hands to catch it.

    Wan Qiongju: “Does it look good? Does Master like it?”

    Qiu Yin’an: “It’s beautiful, like a jade flower. Made of ice, it’s even more beautiful than a real flower.”

    Wan Qiongju held a piece of ice in one hand and twisted a magic talisman with the other hand. He concentrated his spiritual power and immersed the magic talisman into the ice, and then carefully placed it on Qiu Yin’an’s hand, “Master, guess what this will look like?”

    Qiu Yin’an asked curiously: “Can it be different?”

    Wan Qiongju: “Of course, the talisman I use is different, and what it turns into after exploding is also different. Master, let’s take a guess. If you guessed wrong, can you give me a kiss?”

    Qiu Yin’an snorted and thought of something she thought was impossible, “I guess it’s a mushroom.”

    He hit the stone wall, and with a bang, the ice exploded.

    “Wan Qiongju – why did you make this thing?” Qiu Yin Anjun blushed, angry and ashamed, but the ice sculpture happened to be stuck to the stone wall again, shining brightly, and he was very shameless.

    “Why didn’t I realize you were so thick-skinned before? Now you’ve revealed your true colors, haven’t you?” Qiu Yin’an raised his leg and kicked the thing off with a roundhouse kick. Then he stomped on it several times until the ice sculpture was so shattered that the original shape could not be seen, and he stopped.

    Wan Qiongju saw Qiu Yin’an’s cuteness and couldn’t help but laugh at him, “Master, don’t be angry. I guess you guessed it right, okay?”

    Qiu Yin’an was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed: “Get out.”

    “Okay Master, I’m definitely not teasing you this time.” Wan Qiongju held a small ice cube and pulled Qiu Yin’an’s arm as if to please, “I promise not to lie to you.”

    Qiu Yin’an rolled up his sleeves and said, “I don’t want to believe you.”

    “Okay, then we won’t play with this anymore.” Wan Qiongju threw the small ice cube away. He originally planned to throw it away, but unexpectedly his eagle flew over and took it into his mouth.

    Wan Qiongju’s eyes widened, “What’s wrong, it thought I was feeding it.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “Will that thing not explode as long as it doesn’t hit violently?”

    Wan Qiongju: “Yes.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “I’ll use a body-fixing technique on it to stabilize it first.”

    Qiu Yin’an aimed at the void and fired three bursts of spiritual power, but none of them hit.

    The eagle felt that Qiu Yin’an was attacking and immediately flew further into the cave.

    The reaction of Wan Qiongju’s eagle is much more alert than that of ordinary eagles. Especially when facing Qiu Yin’an, this eagle’s alertness is superb.

    At first, when Wan Qiongju brought it back to the Xishan Palace, the eagle always stayed far away from Qiu Yin’an. Qiu Yin’an originally thought it was afraid of strangers, but later in Jiuling Mountain, when even Yao Ye was able to touch it casually, he was convinced that Wan Qiongju’s eagle was only afraid of him.

    Qiu Yin’an told Wan Qiongju about the matter. Wan Qiongju starved the eagle for several days, grabbed it and threw it to Qiu Yin’an. Qiu Yin’an fed it meat, and the eagle became close to him.

    Now Qiu Yin’an took action, although he just wanted to cast a body-holding spell, but the moment he saw the golden light on Qiu Yin’an’s fingertips, Ying panicked.

    “Master, stop casting spells.” Wan Qiongju grabbed Qiu Yin’an’s spell-casting wrist and said, “It’s afraid of you. The more you chase it, the more you hide. Just go back to the room and wait for me. I’ll come.”

    After Wan Qiongju finished speaking, he followed the eagle’s trace and ran deeper into the cave.

    Although the eagle has recognized its master and is obedient, it is still an animal. If it is frightened now, it may still attack its master. Qiu Yin’an is worried that Wan Qiongju will be reluctant to hurt the eagle and the eagle will hurt him in return. He is worried. After many twists and turns, he decides to catch up and have a look.

    Qiu Yin’an walked inside, and when the candlelight disappeared from the stone wall hanging platform, and his eyes became dim, he stopped. He turned around and wanted to go back the same way, but he could no longer tell which fork in the road he came from.

    Qiu Yin’an didn’t expect that it was just a cave. It was so big inside, like a maze. No wonder the old man didn’t let them wander around. It was too easy to get lost here.

    “Wan Qiongju, where are you?” Qiu Yin’an randomly chose a road with candles on both sides. He called Wan Qiongju several times along the way, but no one answered him. It was as quiet as an abyss.

    What’s worse is that after he set foot on this road, he encountered several forks in the road. Now he can’t go back to the place where he lost his way in the first place. This abyss seems to be deliberately trying to trap him.

    “I’m afraid this old man didn’t become a gopher, so why did he build such a big cave?” Qiu Yin’an murmured, and he suddenly thought that Wan Qiongju might also have lost his way. Thinking of this, Qiu Yin’an became anxious.

    Although he knew that Wan Qiongju would not die or be injured due to being temporarily lost, people would inevitably feel panicked when they could not know where their loved ones were. This was how Qiu Yin’an felt at the moment.

    Qiu Yin’an wandered for a few steps. He clenched his fists and gathered himself, knowing that he could not continue walking blindly like this.

    Qiu Yin’an looked at the candlesticks around him and came up with a plan. He came from a place of light. As long as he ran in the direction of the candlelight, there would always be a way out. If he ran to the wrong one, he would extinguish a candle. Even if the misfortune was extreme, the last light would definitely be the right one.

    So Qiu Yin’an followed this method to search. When he extinguished nearly a dozen candles, he heard something moving in front of him.

    “Wan Qiongju.” Qiu Yin’an called out, and then ran towards the sound, only to see Changchuan holding a dagger under Wan Qiongju’s Adam’s apple.

    Changchuan held Wan Qiongju’s shoulder with one hand, looked at Qiu Yin’an with a pair of narrow eyes, and greeted Yousen coldly: “Xianzun Muyang, we meet again.”
