Chen Xuan, My Husband, Don't Panic!

The moment Chen Xuan stepped into the cultivation chamber, he was stunned by the sight!

Bai Bingyan wore a sky-blue gauze palace gown. When she saw him, her cherry lips curved into a faint smile, and dimples flickered on her cheeks. She was truly breathtakingly beautiful!

Chen Xuan could not help swallowing, warmth and tender fantasies stirring within him!

Such beauty belonged only in heaven; how often could it be found in the mortal world?

Most importantly, Bai Bingyan had always treated Chen Xuan coldly. Now that she smiled so sweetly, her charm practically soared into the heavens!

An ordinary person would likely have been utterly bewitched.

Yet Chen Xuan merely admired her, displaying all the bearing of a gentleman!

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Bai Bingyan walked forward gracefully, every step like an exiled fairy strolling atop the clouds.

Her flawless, exquisite face was so beautiful it took one's breath away, and her entire body radiated an aura that could not be profaned.

Even Chen Xuan found himself dazzled.

Then, Chen Xuan sincerely praised her. "Wife, you're so beautiful!"

Bai Bingyan's delicate body stiffened slightly before she gave a cold snort. "You may only call me wife in private, not in public! We have not formally married. In Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, this would count as a secret affair, something unfit to be seen!"

"Uh... alright!"

Chen Xuan smiled awkwardly, though his heart blossomed with delight.

Habit was a terrifying thing. It could change a person's soul without a sound.

Take his first meeting with Bai Bingyan. Back then, she had been like ten-thousand-year mystical ice. If Chen Xuan had dared call her wife, she would probably have instantly beaten him into icy fragments!

Yet after these past days together, they had unexpectedly developed some feelings, and her attitude toward Chen Xuan had changed drastically.

At that moment, Bai Bingyan suddenly said, "When the Law Enforcement Hall took you away, I was worried for your safety, so I hid a Spiritual Sense Clone on your body... I never expected your circumstances in the Vast Sword Sect to be so terrible! So..."

Chen Xuan understood at once and chuckled. "So my wife pitied me and smiled at me? Many thanks, many thanks..."

A peach-blossom flush appeared on Bai Bingyan's lovely face, bright and beautiful beyond compare!

Only after a moment did she softly say, "Chen Xuan, the Vast Sword Sect is so shameless that there is no reason for you to remain there. Would you be willing to come to Qingqiu with me?"

"Now is not the time to leave!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes!

He clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice, "I have yet to settle things with the Vast Sword Sect! Most importantly... the Great Dao Bet after the Apprentice Ceremony must have a result!"

A trace of pity flashed through Bai Bingyan's beautiful eyes, but she still nodded in agreement.

She sighed. "Right now, you really are like a hedgehog! You desperately arm yourself until others fear you, but inside, you are fragile beyond measure..."

"You are very disappointed right now, perhaps even somewhat helpless and lost... aren't you?"

Chen Xuan's entire body trembled!

At that moment, he felt as though Bai Bingyan had seen straight through him...

Then Chen Xuan collapsed onto the floor, covered his face, and began to cry.

He cried louder and louder, as though all the grief and humiliation since he had self-detonated his Ninth Grade Golden Core had poured out at once...

Bai Bingyan frowned slightly, crouching down at a loss as she softly comforted him.

And then?

Chen Xuan suddenly wrapped her tightly in his arms...

Bai Bingyan was shocked, but seeing how heartbrokenly he was crying, she let him do as he pleased.

A long while passed.

Only when Chen Xuan had mostly stopped crying did Bai Bingyan hurriedly break free, her cheeks flushed red.

While Bai Bingyan was overwhelmed with complicated and chaotic emotions, a smile flickered in Chen Xuan's eyes.

Bai Bingyan's remarks about the "hedgehog" had indeed broken through Chen Xuan's defenses.

So he had simply gone with the flow, planning to fake a cry to win Bai Bingyan's sympathy and make her take the initiative to offer him protection...

Yet by accident, he had cried his eyes out so miserably. How embarrassing!

Fortunately, he was clever enough to seize the chance for a hug...

Not a loss! Not a loss!...

That was what Chen Xuan was thinking.

The chamber fell into a long silence.

Just when Chen Xuan thought his attempt to win sympathy had failed, Bai Bingyan took a palm-sized, emerald-green jade token from her Storage Ring and handed it to him.

"Since this is Central Province, this Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token counts as a precious treasure. I'm giving it to you to save your life!"

"Also, I cannot stay in Central Province for too long. The situation in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is somewhat complicated. I am the only Nine-Tailed Fox maiden of the Nine-Tailed White Fox lineage, so..."

Bai Bingyan hesitated, a strange melancholy clouding her mood.

After handing the token to Chen Xuan, she instructed him, "First, drip blood to recognize it as your master. Otherwise, I fear it will not be a life-saving talisman, but a life-taking one!"

"Thank you, wife!"

Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, thrilled beyond measure!

How could he not be excited?

This was an Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token!

Who in all of Central Province did not know the name of the foremost demon slayer, the Azure Blood Old Ancestor?

A thousand years ago, after the Azure Blood Old Ancestor successfully passed his tribulation, he left behind seven Azure Blood Loyal Heart Tokens before ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Every one of them contained one of his heaven-reaching, earth-piercing Demon Subduing Divine Powers!

However, only people of extraordinary talent and upright righteous energy could completely refine these tokens and thereby obtain a great opportunity.

Over the past thousand years, four Azure Blood Loyal Heart Tokens had emerged, creating four super experts of the righteous path!

The whereabouts of the remaining three had always been unknown...

Chen Xuan had never expected Bai Bingyan to possess one.

"Drip!"

When a drop of Chen Xuan's blood landed upon the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token, it was quickly absorbed, and a faint red glow appeared on the jade token's surface.

The next moment.

Chen Xuan sensed a feeling of closeness emanating from the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token, urging him to use True Essence and spiritual sense to completely refine it...

Chen Xuan was very pleased with this result!

Then he solemnly said, "Wife, to thank you for such a great gift, when we sleep tonight, I... will let you do whatever you want with me!"

"Which night have you ever not let me do whatever I wanted with you?"

Bai Bingyan shot him a glare, looking both shy and annoyed.

"Ah, this?... Hehehe! Wife, you are right! Then how about we change it?..."

"Chen Xuan, do you want to die?"

"Wife, I was wrong..."

After Chen Xuan left the cultivation chamber, Bai Bingyan, seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion, could not help laughing!

That smile was beautiful enough to topple kingdoms and cities!

Then a sweet, airy murmur echoed through the chamber.

"Chen Xuan, my husband, when a dragon is stranded in shallow waters, shrimp tease it; when a tiger falls upon the plains, dogs bully it. Don't panic... When you soar through the nine heavens once more and the dragon roams the world, these pieces of trash will regret it beyond measure!..."

The next morning.

Chen Xuan had just bid Bai Bingyan farewell and stepped out of the cultivation chamber when he heard his senior sister Zhao Caiyue call out disdainfully.

"Chen Xuan, come out at once! Master ordered me to summon you. We are going to the Ancient Evolution Sword Palace to attend Junior Brother's New Saint Son Succession Ceremony!"

"Heh!"

Chen Xuan sneered, touching the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token hanging from his chest, his mood exceptionally pleasant!

It seemed... he would be giving Saint Son Ji two great gifts today!
