Lu Jiuyuan ignored Yun Yilan. After confirming that the pills in the bottle were genuine, he turned and walked straight toward Lu Xueqi.
Seeing this, Yun Yilan's expression didn't change, but his fists clenched secretly. Watching Lu Jiuyuan walk away, he thought to himself:
Enjoy your triumph while you can. Once we reach the Southern Border, just see how I deal with you!
Then Yun Yilan led the people from Fenxiang Valley away.
After the people from Fenxiang Valley had left, the Qingyun Sect disciples present all headed toward Lu Jiuyuan, applauding and cheering.
"Senior Brother Lu, you're amazing! You actually managed to scare the people from Fenxiang Valley away!"
"Senior Brother Lu, you're my idol. I'm going to learn from you!"
"Senior Brother Lu, could you teach me how to cultivate? I want to be as amazing as you!"
Everyone talked over one another, making Lu Jiuyuan feel as if he were standing in the middle of a marketplace. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing everyone interrupting her time with her senior brother, Lu Xueqi gave a cold snort, her expressionless face and icy tone making her displeasure clear. "All of you, back off! Senior Brother Lu still has things to do. Don't bother him!"
As she spoke, Lu Xueqi took Lu Jiuyuan by the hand and led him out of Yuqing Hall.
Lu Jiuyuan was taken aback by her sudden move, but quickly recovered and let her lead him.
Seeing this, the Qingyun Sect disciples sensibly stepped aside, watching the two of them leave.
Once the two main figures had left, Shuiyue slowly rose to her feet and looked toward Daoxuan Zhenren. She bowed and said calmly, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, I'll be heading back now."
Daoxuan Zhenren nodded slightly and gave a soft "Mm," then said in a clear voice, "That's enough for today. Everyone, go back to your own places."
Everyone cupped their fists in farewell and left Yuqing Hall one after another.
Xiaozhu Peak, Wangyue Terrace.
On a lush green lawn, a black-clad figure and a white-clad figure sat side by side. Seen from afar, they looked like a beautiful painting.
Lu Xueqi gently leaned her head against Lu Jiuyuan's shoulder and said softly, "Senior Brother, what happened today feels like a dream. None of it seems real."
Lu Jiuyuan smiled and lightly tapped her nose, his voice full of affection. "Xueqi, this isn't a dream. Before long, you'll be marrying me!
"But before then, shouldn't you call me 'husband' once, so I can hear how it sounds?"
At his words, a blush bloomed across Lu Xueqi's delicate face. She gave him a bashful look and said coyly, "Senior Brother, we aren't married yet. How can I call you that already?"
Lu Jiuyuan gazed up at the clear blue sky and sighed. "I've worked myself to the bone for so long, only to end up with nothing."
As he spoke, Lu Jiuyuan cast a sidelong glance at Lu Xueqi, wanting to see how she would react.
A gentle breeze stirred her hair. In the sunlight, her stunning face looked even more delicate and lovely, beyond compare.
Her unique fragrance drifted into his nose, intoxicating him.
Lu Xueqi giggled and gazed tenderly at the man before her, her heart filled with emotion. I never knew Senior Brother could be so childish. It's rather adorable!
Then she had a thought. She wanted to try saying that endearment—the two words she had longed to say for so long, and had turned over and over in her mind.
Lu Xueqi carefully leaned toward his ear and breathed warmly against it before softly whispering, "Husband~!"
As soon as she finished, she tried to get up and escape, but Lu Jiuyuan saw through her little scheme. He pulled her into his arms and held her soft body tight, leaving her no chance to wriggle free and run off.
He breathed in her faint, elegant fragrance and contentedly closed his eyes. His deep voice rang out: "Wife, say it one more time. I didn't hear you clearly just now!"
Hearing such an intimate endearment, Lu Xueqi's ears burned. She said coyly, "No! You're just trying to take advantage of me!"
Lu Jiuyuan chuckled and stroked her soft, smooth hand. "Wife, if you don't say it, I won't hold back."
At his words, Lu Xueqi hurriedly held his hand down and said in a sweet voice, "Don't! I'll say it!"
She looked up at Lu Jiuyuan with tender affection, clutching his lapel as she spoke softly. "But, Senior Brother, I have one condition. We can only use these intimate endearments in private. In front of other people, we have to act like usual."
Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan's lips curved into a smile. He gave a soft "Mm" and nodded in agreement.
It seemed Lu Xueqi still hadn't gotten used to the sudden change, but that was fine. There was plenty of time!
Once Lu Xueqi had his promise, she let out a long breath and relaxed. Thank goodness Senior Brother agreed. If he acted like this in public, I'd be mortified!
The two of them continued basking in the intimate atmosphere. During their time together, Lu Xueqi also told him what had happened while she was in seclusion, including quite a few things about Wen Min.
If Wen Min had been there, she would definitely have given Lu Xueqi a good beating. Those had been a secret between her and Lu Xueqi, and now Lu Xueqi had told Lu Jiuyuan.
Of course, Lu Xueqi was Lu Jiuyuan's fiancée, so those secrets could only become part of the fun between the two of them!
Before they knew it, time had flown by, and dusk had fallen.
After handing everything she had gained that day over to Lu Xueqi, Lu Jiuyuan said goodbye to her.
Although Lu Xueqi was already his woman, they weren't married yet, and her master, Shuiyue, was keeping a close eye on them.
They would have to wait a while before they could sleep together!
Night.
Lu Jiuyuan had just finished bathing and was lying in bed when an electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
[ Ding! ]
[ Congratulations, host. You have met the conditions for activating the system! ]
[ The Myriad Worlds Peerless Beauty Group System is activating...]
[ Activation successful! ]
Lu Jiuyuan shot upright, his face full of shock.
What was that supposed to mean?
He froze for three seconds. Then a translucent interface appeared before him, displaying several large characters:
[ Myriad Worlds Peerless Beauty Group ]
Below them was a line of smaller text: [ Peerless beauties from across the myriad worlds gather here to interact and exchange skills as gifts. ]
Lu Jiuyuan: ???
What was going on???
He had already gotten a cheat after transmigrating all those years ago. He never expected to get another one now. Wasn't he incredibly lucky?
But the style of this system... Why did it seem a little off?
A Myriad Worlds Peerless Beauty Group?
Did that mean all the members of the group were women?
And all of them peerless beauties?
Though confused, Lu Jiuyuan accepted it quickly.
He already had a cheat, but an extra bone... No, that wasn't right. One more system meant one more path!
