Bringing Home a Wife
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're right, we are from the Spirit Hall." Jun Xuehan looked into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes and said without any hesitation.
Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue both stared at Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to see Zhu Zhuqing reaction.
"Yes, I understand." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her voice calm, but the surprise and shock in her eyes were unmistakable.
Moreover, she is now very clear that she has no choice but to follow them to the end, and this frank self-disclosure makes her meaning quite clear.
It's either stick with them to the end, or it's all over. As for running away, Zhu Zhuqing never even considered it. The reason is simple: she can't beat either Jun Xuehan or Qian Renxue.
"Don't worry, I won't miss any of the conditions I promised you before," Jun Xuehan said casually, rubbing her head against Qian Renxue's lower abdomen.
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, but didn't pay any attention to his little actions.
Zhu Zhuqing watched the two men's movements, then quietly moved to the side, sat cross-legged in the carriage, and entered a Meditative Cultivation state.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing enter Meditative Cultivation state, Qian Renxue reached out and pinched Jun Xuehan's ear, whispering, "Just talk, can you please stop touching me? Can't you see there are other people around?"
Jun Xuehan smiled indifferently and said, "So what if someone is there? I didn't lay a hand on you, I just rubbed my face against you."
Hearing Jun Xuehan's matter-of-fact words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a few black lines appear on her forehead, but she didn't say anything and let Jun Xuehan lie on her lap.
After leaving Heaven Dou City, the carriage gradually increased in speed, but thanks to its shock absorption and very comfortable cushions, the passengers did not experience much bumping.
Night fell.
A slightly chilly autumn breeze blew by, making people feel a little cool.
Jun Xuehan checked the time, sat up from Qian Renxue's lap, took out three exquisitely designed gift boxes from her Soul Tool, and placed them in front of Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, today is your birthday. This is a gift I prepared for you. Open it and take a look." Jun Xuehan reached out and stroked Qian Renxue's hair, her voice full of tenderness.
"What are these for me?" Qian Renxue looked at the three gift boxes, her beautiful eyes blinking a few times, full of curiosity.
"Why don't you open it and see for yourself?" Jun Xuehan smiled and said mysteriously.
"Oh, then I'll open it and take a look." A stunning smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
After the three gift boxes were opened, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the two Fox Fur Coat in different styles and a beautifully designed necklace.
"Xue'er, although these three things aren't particularly valuable, they're just a small token of my appreciation. After all, you don't lack anything," Jun Xuehan said softly, a helpless expression on her face.
After all, Qian Renxue really doesn't lack anything. As the young master of the Spirit Hall, she has no shortage of precious Soul Bone or Soul Ring.
"Yes, I know. I really like these three things." Qian Renxue reached out and stroked the fox fur, feeling its smooth texture. She seemed very happy, and her heart was Entanglement with a sweet feeling.
Jun Xuehan smiled, picked up the necklace, and helped Qian Renxue put it on. The necklace, with its simple and elegant design, looked like a sapphire and appeared so natural and beautiful on Qian Renxue's jade-like neck.
After doing all that, Jun Xuehan picked up the Fox Fur Coat and draped it over Qian Renxue's shoulders, saying, "The weather's been cool lately, be careful not to catch a cold, Xue'er."
As they were talking, Jun Xuehan gently put his arm around Qian Renxue's shoulder, leaned against the carriage, and looked out at the night through the carriage window.
"Yes, I know." Qian Renxue chuckled softly upon hearing Jun Xuehan's words, leaning on Jun Xuehan's shoulder as she looked at the night outside.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes without making a sound, glanced at the two of them, and then closed them again. She had a feeling that Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue were ignoring her presence.
Spirit City.
The carriage traveled for nearly a month before finally entering Spirit City.
Jun Xuehan reached out and patted Qian Renxue, saying softly, "Xue'er, wake up, we've arrived at Spirit City."
Hearing Jun Xuehan's voice, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them with her hands, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Qian Renxue stretched her waist and looked at the bustling Spirit City with a smile on her face.
"We've been away for so long, and we're finally back! Let's head straight to the Worship Hall to see my grandfather," Qian Renxue said happily.
"I'm afraid that won't work. As a disciple, it's only right and proper for me to visit my teacher upon my return. Besides, I still need to discuss Zhu Zhuqing's matter with my teacher. How about we go together?" Jun Xuehan gently stroked Qian Renxue's hair and asked in a tender voice.
"I'm not going. You go by yourself. I'll wait for you in the Worship Hall," Qian Renxue said, then quietly looked at the bustling street outside.
[It's really not easy to ease tensions.] Jun Xuehan smiled bitterly to herself and said nothing more.
The carriage stopped in the Pope's Palace, and Jun Xuehan, Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, and others stepped out of the carriage.
"Xuehan, I'll be waiting for you in the Worship Hall. Go back to the Worship Hall as soon as possible." Qian Renxue instructed Jun Xuehan before heading straight back to the Worship Hall.
After Jun Xuehan agreed, she led Zhu Zhuqing into the Pope's Palace.
The two did not linger in the Pope's Palace, but went directly to the study in the rear hall, because at this time, Bibi Dong would be handling government affairs in the study.
As Jun Xuehan approached the study, just as she was about to knock, she heard Bibi Dong's voice coming from inside.
"Xuehan, you're back. Come in." Bibi Dong's calm voice carried a hint of joy.
"Okay, teacher." Jun Xuehan replied and led Zhu Zhuqing into the study.
Looking at Bibi Dong sitting in the main seat, Jun Xuehan bowed to Bibi Dong very respectfully.
"Your His Holiness the Pope!" Zhu Zhuqing also bowed respectfully.
"Xuehan, you're quite something, bringing a wife home. Aren't you going to introduce her to your teacher?" Bibi Dong looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down and said with a faint smile.
"Ahem, teacher, you've misunderstood. She's not. She's the second young lady of the Star Luo Zhu Family, but she's preparing to join our Spirit Hall." Jun Xuehan cleared her throat and quickly explained.
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly in an instant.
