Chapter 618: Is Senior Sister Jealous? Or Does She Miss Me?

After Yu Xian and Su Ru emerged from the Small World, they found that the aftermath of Luo Shen Pass had been mostly handled.

The people from Fenxiang Valley had already left, and Tianyin Temple was almost done as well.

When everyone saw Yu Xian and Su Ru appear, and saw that Su Ru had fully recovered—her complexion even more radiant than before—they couldn’t help but be shocked; Yu Xian really had saved her!

“Mother, are you alright?” Seeing Su Ru return, Tian Linger immediately ran to her side and asked anxiously.

Seeing Tian Linger, Su Ru was suddenly filled with mixed emotions; if she left with Yu Xian in the future, what would happen to Linger? Although Qi Hao was a good man, he wouldn’t be by her side after all.

Su Ru couldn’t help but reach out and pull Tian Linger into her arms, gently patting her back. “Linger, Mother is fine. I’ve made you worry.”

Feeling her mother’s warm embrace, Tian Linger’s heart finally settled, but she keenly sensed something unusual in Su Ru’s mood.

“Mother, are you still feeling unwell somewhere? Your expression looks a bit off,” Tian Linger asked.

“Mother is really fine, just a bit tired.” Su Ru forced a smile and shook her head.

She looked at Yu Xian not far away, who was talking to Shui Yue and the others.

Sensing Su Ru’s gaze, Yu Xian turned his head, his eyes filled with inquiry and reassurance.

Su Ru quickly looked away, her heart in a mess. On one side was the daughter she had raised for many years, and on the other was the lover she had just confirmed her feelings for and who was about to travel far away. How could she choose?

Yu Xian felt Su Ru’s inner conflict and was about to step forward to say something when he suddenly felt a slender, jade-like hand on his waist; then, that hand gave his waist a hard pinch.

Hiss… Yu Xian sucked in a breath of cold air. What was with these women? Why did they either like biting him or pinching his waist?

Yu Xian looked up along that jade hand and met Shui Yue’s angry gaze. “Senior Sister…” Yu Xian called out pitifully.

“Hmph!” Shui Yue huffed at Yu Xian twice.

“Senior Sister, I was doing it to save her,” Yu Xian explained.

“Heh, saving someone took a whole day and night? And you saved her so well she looks radiant?” Shui Yue said sarcastically.

Although she had long known Yu Xian had feelings for Su Ru, she still felt a bit awkward. She also knew that Yu Xian and Su Ru had already crossed that line, and she couldn’t change that fact. However, she didn’t want to give Yu Xian any slack.

“Is Senior Sister jealous? Or do you miss me?” Yu Xian suddenly leaned close to Shui Yue and grinned wickedly!

Oh, hiss…

Yu Xian sucked in another breath of cold air; Shui Yue really didn’t hold back!

“If you ever dare to bully my Junior Sister, I’ll skin you alive!” Shui Yue glared at him again.

“It’s all of you who are bullying me!” Yu Xian said aggrievedly.

Shui Yue:…

Was this really the high-cultivation Chief of Dazhu Peak from the Qingyun Sect who had single-handedly killed his way to the Beast God and resolved the Beast Tide?

At this moment, he was clutching his waist where Shui Yue had pinched him, his face filled with innocence and grievance. He looked like a mistreated little wife—where was the decisive killing intent and the world-dominating Aura he showed when facing powerful enemies?

“Put away that pitiful act; aren’t you afraid of being a laughingstock?” Shui Yue couldn’t help but glare at Yu Xian again.

Yu Xian pouted and then asked seriously, “How is the situation now?”

He was asking about the current state of Luo Shen Pass.

“The destroyed city walls have been rebuilt, and the remaining Yao Beasts nearby have been dealt with by the sisters. The cleanup work is finished,” Shui Yue replied.

“Alright, then we can prepare to return,” Yu Xian nodded.

“Mm.”

At this time, Ning Zhongze led The Women over. Each of them looked at him with a meaningful gaze.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes at once, even though Yu Xian had experienced countless storms, his scalp couldn’t help but feel a bit numb, and he instinctively rubbed his nose.

“Ladies, why are you all looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?” Yu Xian chuckled dryly.

Huang Rong was the first to speak, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: “Oh, our husband is now the great hero of our Qingyun Sect. Not only did he save Senior Sister Su Ru, but he also resolved the crisis at Luo Shen Pass. We’re just curious—after the hero saved the beauty, are there any insights or experiences you’d like to share with us?”

The other women also teased him with their eyes, leaving Yu Xian not knowing whether to laugh or cry!

These women… it seems they’ve been so busy with the Beast Tide lately that he hasn’t fed them properly! They’ve all become so mischievous.

Yu Xian’s eyes darted around, and with a wave of his hand, he took The Women directly back into the Small World, including Su Ru and Lu Xueqi.

The Disciples of the Qingyun Sect watched as Yu Xian and The Women disappeared before them. Then, Yu Xian’s voice rang out, telling Xiao Yifan, Qi Hao, and Xiao Feng to finish the remaining tasks and lead the team back to the Qingyun Sect.

“Wait, didn’t the Young Master say he was taking the wives ahead? Why are the two Junior Martial Uncles and Senior Sister Lu gone too?” Mu Chunfeng asked with a curious face.

Yang Guo and the others:…

Mu Chunfeng felt like everyone was looking at him as if he were a fool.

He scratched his head and looked at Yang Guo beside him in confusion. “Brother Yang, why do you all have that expression? Did I say something wrong?”

Yang Guo’s mouth twitched. He patted Mu Chunfeng’s shoulder and sighed. “Chunfeng, in some matters, a smart person sees the truth but doesn’t speak it. Think about it—who did the Young Master just take away?”

“The wives, Junior Martial Uncle Shui Yue, Junior Martial Uncle Su, Senior Sister Lu…” Mu Chunfeng counted on his fingers.

Dog Brother scratched his head. He couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Because they are all wives!”

Hearing this, Mu Chunfeng suddenly slapped his forehead, his cheeks instantly turning red. “Ah! I… I understand!”

So everyone thought he hadn’t even grasped that meaning, which was why they looked at him like that. Even Dog Brother saw it clearly, but he had just asked such a silly question. Mu Chunfeng wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

“Alright, let’s pack up and prepare to return. After this great battle, we should realize how weak we are. If we don’t work hard, we won’t even be able to see the Young Master’s shadow in the future,” Xiao Feng said in a heavy tone.

Everyone looked at Xiao Feng and nodded in agreement.

“And I feel like Master is going to leave again. This time, it might be different from before. In the future, he might not take us with him anymore. Because we are too weak,” Little Fish murmured, looking at the spot where Yu Xian had just disappeared.

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. Little Fish’s words were like a bucket of cold water, waking them up from the brief relaxation after the battle.

“Little Fish is right. We can’t rely on the Young Master anymore. We must improve our strength as quickly as possible. If the Young Master needs us in the future, we can be his help, not a burden,” Chu Liuxiang followed.

“Fine, we’ll go into seclusion to Cultivate as soon as we get back! We won’t come out until we reach the Shangqing Realm!”

“I… am almost at the Shangqing Realm,” Dog Brother said honestly.

Everyone:… (Drag him out and beat him for five minutes!)
