Darling? Pay Up! / Sushang's Unsettling Killing Intent...

"Master, it's already six o'clock. Even if we take a carriage, we probably won't arrive until eight o'clock!"

Looking at the time, Li Sushang looked somewhat helpless. She had originally planned to leave early with Ling Xi and then go on a date in the city, but now...

It's too late, and... it seems there are no more carriages available.

"Who told you to copy so slowly?"

Ling Xi remained remarkably calm. It was just a lantern festival in the city; the city wasn't far from here, less than forty kilometers. At the speed of a carriage in this era, it would indeed take about two hours, but...

Looking at Li Sushang beside Ling Xi, who seemed both anxious and helpless, Ling Xi finally decided to use some technology.

"Sushang!"

Ling Xi led Li Sushang to the top of the cliff and asked with a smile, "Do you really want to go?"

"Mmm..."

Li Sushang nodded her little head seriously, "After all, the Qixi Lantern Festival only comes once a year. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year. And last time, when we went to the Lantern Festival, you didn't come with me, Master."

"Alright, alright, I'll go with you to the Lantern Festival and the Qixi Lantern Festival from now on."

Ling Xi smiled gently at Li Sushang, then gently took her hand and pulled her into his arms, lifting her up in a princess carry...

"Eh? Master..."

Li Sushang's face immediately turned red, and she was a little nervous. Could it be...?

Is it because she missed the lantern festival that Ling Xi plans to make up for it in another way?

But... in the wild? Isn't this a bit too prickly...? Hmm? What's this?

Just as Li Sushang was imagining whether she should put up a symbolic act of resistance, she suddenly noticed that Ling Xi had taken out a purple Katana. Li Sushang was immediately confused. What did this mean?

She certainly didn't think Ling Xi was going to attack her, so she was very curious as to why he would take out Katana in the middle of nowhere. Was he going to use it to cut open clothes?

"Sushang!"

Ling Xi held Li Sushang in his arms, using his mind to control the Seven Thunders of Retribution, which hovered in the air, and laughed, "Have you ever heard of... Electromagnetic Launch?"

"Eh... I've heard of it..."

Li Sushang nodded obediently. She knew about electromagnetism, though only superficially!

"Sushang, watch closely, this is... science is the primary productive force!"

Ling Xi, carrying Li Sushang, leaped directly onto the Seven Thunders of Retribution, then activated his electromagnetic force, instantly launching the Seven Thunders of Retribution. Ling Xi, standing on the Seven Thunders of Retribution, naturally flew forward with Li Sushang in his arms.

Li Sushang: "???"

At this moment, Li Sushang was stunned. Holy crap, flying on a sword? This is... is Master a god?

However, Li Sushang only thought about it for a moment. After all, after so many years of education from Ling Xi, she naturally only knew about science, and now... well, Electromagnetic Launch, very scientific.

Although Li Sushang still had questions, however...

Master is holding me right now. Nestled in Ling Xi's arms, inhaling Ling Xi scent, we're flying together on our swords on our date... Mmm...

Happy!

So, Li Sushang nestled obediently in Ling Xi's arms, and even deliberately rubbed her head against him, as if wanting to get even closer...

Ling Xi "..."

Of course, Ling Xi didn't say anything. He just silently held Li Sushang and, propelled by electromagnetic force, quickly flew forward!

Chapter 571: Wife? Pay up!

"Mmm, it's so lively, it's really lively."

Before long, the two successfully arrived in the city, and Li Sushang was already happily strolling around with Ling Xi in her hand. After all, she had basically always lived with Ling Xi, and usually only went to the small town at the foot of the mountain. As for this big city...

I can't say I've never been here, but I certainly rarely come!

"It's alright..."

Seeing Li Sushang's enthusiasm, Ling Xi simply smiled, but speaking of excitement...

All I can say is that you, Little Li Zi, have a narrow perspective. Back then, Changkong City and Mu Continent were a hundred times more prosperous than this place.

But this is only from the Ming Dynasty, so it's already quite impressive that this city has reached this scale!

So, Ling Xi accompanied Li Sushang to stroll through the lantern festival, and bought some late-night snacks while they ate and walked.

"Young master, would you like to buy a lantern with your wife?"

Suddenly, a woman handed the two of them a lantern, which was actually just a lantern of various styles, but it looked quite pretty at night.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing what the other person said, Li Sushang coughed lightly, then turned to look at Ling Xi and asked with a smile, "Husband, what do you think?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Awoo..."

Ling Xi gently tapped Li Sushang on the head, then decisively took the lantern. "Let's buy one then, my wife, pay!"

After saying that, Ling Xi immediately ran away...

Li Sushang: "..."

Woman"..."

"Master, you've gone too far."

Li Sushang quickly caught up, saying with a displeased look, "Who makes a girl pay when you're on a date and shopping? I've never seen anyone like you."

"So now you've seen it, haven't you?"

Ling Xi laughed and said, "After all, you were going to come. I specially flew here on my sword to bring you to the lantern festival. What's wrong with letting you pay?"

"Cut..."

Li Sushang pursed her lips, too lazy to even complain!

"Master..."

So, Li Sushang gently raised her right elbow and smiled slightly, "I'll give you a chance to forgive me."

"Heh, great, I'm honored..."

Ling Xi readily took Li Sushang's arm, and they continued shopping together.

There are quite a few activities tonight, such as poetry gatherings and riddle guessing. Alas, it's already the Ming Dynasty here, otherwise I would definitely be able to compose a poem by the great poet Li Bai.

It's just a pity that I'm uncultured; all I can say is "Holy crap!"

And so, Ling Xi accompanied Li Sushang as they strolled around the lantern festival. Before they knew it, it was ten o'clock, and the lantern festival was about to come to an end.

"Whoosh..."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a dazzling firework lit up the horizon, followed by several more bursts of fireworks that instantly transformed the entire sky into a kaleidoscope of colors!

This scene attracted the attention of almost everyone, and people stopped to admire the fireworks in the night sky!

Li Sushang stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and couldn't help but smile at Ling Xi and say, "Master, let's come again next time..."

"Um."

Ling Xi nodded slightly and smiled, "The next lantern festival should be the Lantern Festival. I'll come with you then."

"Hehe, Master is so nice!"

Li Sushang smiled and nodded, then happily took Ling Xi's arm. Compared to master and disciple... she actually preferred to be a rebellious disciple, the kind of rebellious disciple who wanted to do disrespectful things to her master.

Ling Xi silently watched Li Sushang, her feelings somewhat complicated...

Although he had had thoughts about Li Sushang from the beginning, after all, she was really beautiful and had such outstanding talent. Once he brought her into his camp, it would definitely be of great help to his future.

However, I've practically watched this girl grow up, even though she's grown from a little girl into the graceful young woman she is now...

"Why are you looking at me like that, Master?"

Suddenly, Li Sushang seemed to realize that Ling Xi was peeking at her, so she looked at Ling Xi with a grin and said, "What, is it because I'm too beautiful that Master is staring at me like a daze?"

"Little girl!"

Ling Xi gently tapped her head, then continued to look up at the fireworks in the sky. As for Li Sushang's matter... let's talk about it later. At least we need to get her into the future first.

Of course, if this girl's talent is outstanding enough, then I can consider implanting a top-level Hypervariable Factor into her. In that case, Li Sushang's Honkai Energy Adaptability can definitely break through 2500HW, or even 3000!

In this way, Li Sushang's lifespan would naturally reach that of Fu Hua, but even so, Ling Xi still wanted to send her to the future because...

Those five hundred years were extremely difficult to get through.

Perhaps Fu Hua will awaken soon, and Otto should have unified the Schicksal by now. After Fu Hua awakens, I'll find a time to put Li Sushang into hibernation as well.

"Master..."

Suddenly, Li Sushang called out to Ling Xi again.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Xi subconsciously looked down at her. Although he had not yet agreed to accept her request, the girl had called him "Master" for ten years, so Ling Xi naturally had a conditioned reflex to that title.

"Um?"

Then, Ling Xi was stunned, because...

At this moment, Li Sushang was staring at herself in a daze, her eyes reflecting the light of the fireworks. Under the glow of the fireworks and the moonlight, Li Sushang truly looked like a fairy under the moon.

Because she was wearing ancient costume at the moment, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, the two of them would only dress more casually at home, and when they went out, they would usually change into clothes from this era. And Li Sushang at this moment...

She wore a long white dress and a blue headband, looking like a fairy from the lake!

"Master... mmm..."

Li Sushang deliberately stood on tiptoe, then gently raised her head...

In that Kiana, Ling Xi, as if possessed, kissed him...

Amidst the fireworks, Ling Xi once again received a girl's first kiss...

"Master, you have to take responsibility for me..."

After a short while, the two had returned to normal, and although Li Sushang's face was still flushed, she seemed to be very happy.

"I told you, don't call me master."

Ling Xi placed her hand on her head and gently rubbed it.

"Oh... then... husband?"

Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi with an innocent expression.

Ling Xi: "..." I'm afraid your mom will pull out a sword and chop me up...

Although she can't beat herself, but... the mother-in-law is the most terrifying creature in the world, the ultimate boss that makes countless heroes bow down!

"Sushang, are you going back?"

Ling Xi checked the time; it was already 10:30 PM. Although for cultivators this was just the beginning, but...

The lantern festival ended with the final fireworks display, and since the two had come to participate in the festival, it was time for them to go home.

"Uh-huh!"

Having had her fill of fun, Li Sushang nodded obediently, then threw herself into Ling Xi's arms and laughed, "Master, let's fly again!"

Clearly, after experiencing the feeling of Ling Xi carrying her, Li Sushang suddenly didn't want to ride in a carriage anymore. Not only was it slow, but her buttocks would also hurt after sitting for a long time. It was much more enjoyable to fly with her master. In just a few minutes, they were home!

"Ha, good!"

Ling Xi didn't refuse, and directly hugged Li Sushang in his arms, Electromagnetic Launch her into the air!

Chapter 572: The Killing Intent Beneath the Fluttering Sushang...

A week has passed since the lantern festival, and during this week, although the two have tacitly avoided mentioning what happened that day, and haven't taken anything further, but...

Ling Xi was still able to sense that the relationship between the two was changing.
