Zhang Lexuan's Weight Gain, Schrödinger's Le Wuxue
After assisting the three Miss Narcissus in the initial refinement of their Godhead, Zhou Huan stopped disturbing them as they continued to cultivate and stabilize themselves, and instead entered the Ice Palace.
Just then, Zhou Huan saw his wife and Snow Empress still engrossed in discussing cultivation systems. He looked at them speechlessly, thinking, "What's so interesting about this? They've been talking for hours. They're clearly cultivating different things. Do they really think they can all reach the same ultimate path?"
However, Zhou Huan didn't want to discourage them, so she simply went over and sat down next to Zhang Lexuan.
Seeing Zhou Huan leaning against her, idly playing with the ends of her hair, Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips and said helplessly, "If you really have nothing to do, go outside and get some fresh air. The wind in the Extreme North is definitely refreshing."
Zhou Huan shook his head slightly. "No, I have something to do. I'm trying to figure out where to go next to find Rare Soul Beast. The Floating Pagoda only needs two more floors to be opened. I think there will be a big surprise waiting for us after the Floating Pagoda is fully opened."
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress glanced at Zhou Huan speechlessly and said, "What's there to think about? If we can't find it on the Douluo Continent, we'll look in the sea. If we can't find it in the sea, there are other continents, aren't there?"
Bite!
Zhou Huan's eyes lit up immediately. Yes, Douluo Star actually has other continents.
That was a real eye-opener! How could he have forgotten that although the continent where the entrance to Dragon Valley was located had no Soul Beast, Xiao Xiao had said that with the help of Uncle Wang and Aunt Ling, they had once visited a Nameless Continent with Soul Beast.
As expected, habitual thinking is not advisable. When Zhou Huan mentioned Douluo Star, he only thought of the Douluo Continent, completely ignoring the existence of other continents.
"Sister Xue, you really are my lucky star," Zhou Huan praised.
"... If you have nothing else to do, you can leave gracefully. I need to cultivate now, and I'll take this opportunity to test whether Lexuan's cultivation system works," Snow Empress suggested earnestly.
"Boring, a life all you know is cultivation. Be careful not to burn yourself out; immortal cultivation is different from ours after all," Zhou Huan said, pursing his lips.
After that, Zhou Huan stopped bothering Snow Empress and, with Zhang Lexuan, used a Spatial Displacement to arrive at the Nameless Continent where Xiao Xiao and Wen Xiaoshuai had trained.
Zhou Huan scanned the area briefly with his divine sense, and a look of delight immediately appeared on his face. "Sure enough, there are quite a few Soul Beast living here, and they seem to be quite different from those on the Douluo Continent."
Zhang Lexuan looked up at the star-studded night sky and said, "It's getting dark. Why don't we go inside the Floating Pagoda and get some sleep?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan looked at his wife in surprise, his heart pounding. When did Sister Lexuan become so proactive? Did she think she could beat me now?
Zhang Lexuan immediately noticed Zhou Huan's inappropriate look and scolded, "What are you thinking about? I meant to go to sleep properly, I'm a little sleepy."
Now, Zhou Huan found it even stranger. "You, a Mahayana Stage cultivator, are telling me you're sleepy? We've only spent less than eight hours in total in the Sun Moon Mountain Range and the Extreme North. You only see that it's dark now because we're on the other side of Douluo Star. How can you want to sleep already?"
Zhang Lexuan glared at Zhou Huan, annoyed, and said, "What's wrong with cultivators? Can't cultivators get sleepy? Don't cultivators in the Mahayana Stage need to sleep? Anyway, I'm going to rest."
Well...
Why did you suddenly get angry?
Zhou Huan scratched his head, quickly took his wife's hand, and comforted her, "Alright, alright, I'll take you to the Floating Pagoda to rest first, and then we'll go find Rare Soul Beast."
Zhang Lexuan nodded gently and replied, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, honey."
Sigh...
Woman, your complexion changes too quickly, from cloudy to sunny.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Huan took Zhang Lexuan into the Floating Pagoda. Before leaving, he gave his wife a "goodnight kiss"—or perhaps a "good afternoon kiss"?
Never mind, it's not important.
Floating Pagoda, watching Zhou Huan's departing figure, Zhang Lexuan gently touched her seemingly unchanged belly, revealing a loving smile, and murmured, "How did you get here so quickly, you little rascal? I was so silly, I thought I'd gained weight. Let's tell your father later, okay? Let him find Rare Soul Beast first, otherwise he'll definitely drag us back to Shrek."
Outside the Floating Pagoda, Zhou Huan was naturally unaware of this; he couldn't possibly spy on his wife every single moment.
Looking at the Nameless Continent, which still resembled a primeval forest, Zhou Huan rubbed his head, wondering where he should begin his search.
This place is much larger than the Sun Moon Mountain Range; searching it bit by bit will take quite a while.
Moreover, Soul Beast are not inanimate objects; they can move.
Headache.
Never mind, let's stick to the old rules.
Without using any divine power or divine sense, Zhou Huan casually tossed out four stones, preparing to test the waters once more.
However, to everyone's surprise, the next second, from the due south direction, a cry of alarm rang out, "Ah! Who ambushed me!" which startled a flock of crows into flight.
Hearing that familiar voice and feeling that familiar scene, Zhou Huan immediately took a step and arrived at the source of the sound in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful woman in yellow with blonde hair, who looked like an angel, Zhou Huan was speechless.
What the hell is this fate?!
So, every time I test the waters, I manage to find you, right?
Are you Schrödinger's angel? Here one minute, there the next.
It's one thing to have you appear in the Abyss Plane, but how come you, Le Wuxue, can still appear on a Nameless Continent?
At the same time, Le Wuxue stared blankly at Zhou Huan in front of her. After a long while, she angrily said, "Are you a child? Throwing stones for no reason!"
Zhou Huan curled his lip speechlessly and said, "You're already Tier 10 God-level being, how come you can't even dodge a rock? Is your god-level status fake?"
Indeed, Zhou Huan realized that Le Wuxue had already broken through to the God level.
However, this is quite normal. After all, Le Wuxue is Qian Renxue, and she has lived for ten thousand years. It's not surprising that she has some unknown methods to quickly improve her cultivation.
Zhou Huan felt that she was already slow in rebuilding her cultivation. Back then, she was a dignified Angel God, First-level Deity.
Hearing Zhou Huan's complaint, Le Wuxue glared at him irritably and said, "Hmph! I just came out of the Space Rift, how could I have expected that a rock would be thrown at me, and a rock that has no divine power or Soul Power at all, catching me completely off guard."
Zhou Huan was speechless, but still grasped the key point. "... Which planet did you go to this time? Or which dimension?"
To be honest, after returning from the Abyss Plane, Le Wuxue left, and Zhou Huan hadn't seen her for several years.
Le Wuxue pursed her lips and said, "What business is it of yours where I went? I can't have my own secrets."
Zhou Huan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "Fine, you're all grown up now, I can't control you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Le Wuxue rolled her eyes. "Don't talk like you're my dad, he's been dead for tens of thousands of years."
Qian Xunji?
Secret Room Douluo?
I'm sorry, I don't deserve it, I was rude.
Zhou Huan coughed lightly, then changed the subject. "It's a good time for you to come back now. There's a great war going on in the Douluo God Realm. Maybe if you stir things up and work hard, you can still get revenge."
Le Wuxue gave Zhou Huan a disdainful look and said, "I'm not that arrogant. I'm just a Tier 10 God-level being right now. What do I have to kill Tang San? Go ahead and ram my head against it? Also, don't make me sound like a villain. What do you mean by 'stirring up trouble'?"
