Chapter 382: Husband Will Definitely Be Very Surprised

Another day passed.

Since setting foot on the path of cultivation once again, Lin Xun felt that time passed very quickly.

Just like his usual days at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, it felt as if darkness suddenly fell before he could even do much.

Compared to his previous life as a nine-to-five Corporate slave in Luo City…

Actually, Lin Xun discovered that he still seemed to prefer life in the Mortal World a bit more.

However, at the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, after dark and after having dinner with his Junior Sister, Lin Xun would practice his spear for a while before lying in bed to sleep.

At most, he would meditate in bed for a while; the nightlife was quite boring.

But now.

Lin Xun could sleep while holding his soft and smooth wife.

The things they could do also seemed to have become many.

Only…

Tonight, Lin Xun felt that Qinger seemed to have a lot on her mind.

Qinger was even still out in the courtyard, not having entered the room yet.

“Qinger, the night wind is cold. Drink some tea to warm your body.”

Carrying a cup of Ginger tea, Lin Xun walked to his wife’s side.

“Ah… mm. Thank you, Husband.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s voice, Jiang Qingshang finally snapped out of her daze and took the Ginger tea.

“Wait.”

“It’s hot.”

Before Lin Xun could stop her, Jiang Qingshang took a sip.

Jiang Qingshang was so burned that she stuck out her tender pink little tongue.

“Silly girl, of course it’s hot.”

Lin Xun smiled as he set down the teacup in her hand.

Actually, Lin Xun had already let this cup of Ginger tea cool for a bit.

If she had taken small sips, she wouldn’t have been burned.

Who knew Qinger would drink it as if it were lukewarm tea.

“Let me see.”

Lin Xun crouched down and gently held the young woman’s small hand.

Jiang Qingshang stuck out her tongue like a little kitten.

With the help of the moonlight, Lin Xun checked it; fortunately, there were no burns.

“Fortunately, you’re fine.” Lin Xun stood up and gently stroked his wife’s long hair.

“Mm.”

Jiang Qingshang’s head rested against Lin Xun’s stomach as she gently closed her eyes, her clinging manner sweet and gentle.

“Has Qinger encountered something? You’ve been absent-minded all this time.”

Holding his wife’s shoulders, Lin Xun spoke slowly after a long while.

When Qinger came back today, Lin Xun felt that his wife’s state seemed a bit off.

She was dazed while cooking and almost mistook sugar for salt.

While eating, she just held her chopsticks and stared at the table, her eyes blinking, motionless.

“Husband.”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingshang lightly bit her red lip and spoke softly.

“Mm,” Lin Xun responded.

“Husband… I… I might have to go out for a while.”

“Go out?”

“Mm.”

Jiang Qingshang lowered her eyes slightly.

“The Saint Lord said that tomorrow she will take me and Senior Sister Jiang to a certain place. As for returning, I’m afraid it will take half a year.”

Pausing for a breath and hearing no response from her husband, Jiang Qingshang grasped Lin Xun’s palm:

“If Husband does not wish for me to go… then I…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lin Xun leaned down, gently kissed his wife’s forehead, and smiled.

“Go ahead, Qinger. Although half a year is a bit long, we still have much, much time ahead of us.

Besides, for Saint Lord Jiang to take both you and Senior Sister Jiang along, it must be something important.”

“Will it really, really be okay for me to leave Husband for nearly half a year?”

“It’ll be fine.” Lin Xun pinched his wife’s ear. “Don’t worry, Qinger. I’ll be perfectly fine here on Saintess Peak.”

Knowing what was on Qinger’s mind, Lin Xun also felt relieved.

Although he didn’t know where Jiang Yuerou was taking Qinger…

Lin Xun was extremely confident in Jiang Yuerou’s character.

No matter what, Jiang Yuerou would prioritize the safety of her Disciples.

And with the protection of an Ascension Realm expert, he could rest easy.

Furthermore, although it felt a bit bad to think this way towards Qinger…

Lin Xun had originally been worrying about how to slip away to Tianji City to attend Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Now that Qinger and Jiang Qingshang were leaving, everything would be much more convenient.

“Husband.”

“Mm?”

Just as Lin Xun was lost in his thoughts, Jiang Qingshang spoke slowly.

“When I return, I have a secret to tell Husband.”

“A secret?”

“Mm.” Jiang Qingshang rose from Lin Xun’s embrace and smiled charmingly. “When the time comes, Husband will definitely be very surprised.”

“Eh?” Lin Xun was a bit surprised. “Could it be, Qinger, that you’re…”

“No.”

Jiang Qingshang extended her small fist and lightly thumped Lin Xun’s chest.

“It’s not that.”

“Then what is it?”

“I won’t tell Husband now.”

“You won’t tell me? Really?”

“Really.”

“Eh? Will you tell me or not?”

“Husband… wait…”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“I won’t, I won’t! I’m just not going to say!”

“Ha! You think I can’t handle you?”

“Wait, Husband…”

“Mm?”

“Carry me back to the room.”

The next day, before dawn broke, Jiang Qingshang gently pulled away from her husband’s embrace and put on her clothes.

“Husband… I’m setting off now. I will definitely return as soon as possible.”

Looking tenderly at her husband’s profile, Jiang Qingshang spoke softly, not knowing if her husband had actually heard her.

Slowly leaning down, Jiang Qingshang planted a gentle kiss on Lin Xun’s forehead.

After tucking her husband in, Jiang Qingshang finally turned and left.

When there was no more movement outside the courtyard, knowing that his wife had truly departed…

Lin Xun, who had long since woken up, also opened his eyes.

Putting on his clothes, Lin Xun walked out of the room and sat outside the courtyard, looking in the direction Qinger had left.

But by now, Jiang Qingshang’s figure was long gone.

Many times, on the day of departure, the two would have such a tacit understanding.

Because sometimes, if there is no send-off, then perhaps it doesn’t count as a separation.

Moreover, no matter how well things were said before or how great the determination was…

When the moment of departure truly arrived…

Lin Xun was really afraid he wouldn’t let Qinger go.

Jiang Qingshang was also really afraid that she wouldn’t care about any Seal or the people of the world, and only want to stay in her husband’s embrace, never leaving him again.

An hour after Jiang Qingshang left, the maid Xiao Chan arrived.

“Lin Pei, your letter.”

The maid Xiao Chan delivered a letter.

Written in the letter were Lin Xun’s cultivation arrangements for the next half year; all the arrangements were extremely reasonable.

Inside the envelope, there was also a saintess token.

It indicated that Lin Xun could just follow the progress in the letter to cultivate.

If he encountered any questions in his cultivation, he could take the saintess token to consult the masters of various halls and peaks.

Then, regarding daily life…

There would also be dedicated maids preparing and delivering meals every day.

However, what surprised Lin Xun upon seeing the end of the letter was…

Lin Xun didn’t expect Jiang Qingshang to actually want him to go in her place to attend Sikong Wangxing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony in Tianji City?
