Chapter 658 - 659: Preparing to Head to the Xuantian Sect!
Chapter 658: Chapter 659: Preparing to Head to the Xuantian Sect!
Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, a smile appeared on Chen Wushuang’s face as well.
With the Netherworld Fruit in hand, all that was left was one final main ingredient they hadn’t acquired.
That was the White Jade Snow Ganoderma inside the Xuantian Sect!
However, seeing how sticky Chen Xiao and Zi Yuan’s relationship was now, getting the White Jade Snow Ganoderma from the Xuantian Sect shouldn’t be a difficult task.
"Let’s head back first." Chen Wushuang glanced at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao nodded.
The people of the Xuantian Sect and the Great Zhou Imperial Family also followed the two and left the place.
Some of the strong members of the Great Zhou Imperial Family even proactively approached to apologize to Chen Wushuang. They had offended Chen Wushuang and his son previously in the Dragon Vein.
Now, they hoped both parties could put aside their grudges and reconcile.
"We’re all family, no need to speak as if we’re strangers."
Chen Wushuang didn’t want to dwell on past grievances. Now that the Emperor’s daughter was his daughter-in-law, why hold onto such minor matters?
Xiyue also caught the implication in Chen Wushuang’s words, her pretty face turning a shade redder.
But...
She sighed inwardly, knowing that her father was an extremely stubborn person; persuading him would not be easy, and Chen Xiao would still have to work hard.
Returning to their residence in Tianyuan City, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tension in his spirit gradually relaxed, and a massive wave of fatigue washed over him.
Chen Wushuang chuckled, "Next, getting the White Jade Snow Ganoderma will depend on your ability."
Chen Xiao said, "It shouldn’t be a problem."
The Xuantian Sect has a pretty good attitude towards him, and he has helped the Xuantian Sect a lot. Zi Yuan should be able to help him obtain the White Jade Snow Ganoderma.
"By the way, where’s Kani?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Hearing him mention Kani, Chen Wushuang’s expression turned a bit grave, "A few days ago, the soul within her broke through the seal, escaped from her body right under my nose, and left."
"She thought she could slip away unnoticed, but didn’t know I had already placed a tracking mark on her. Her movements are within my control."
"Sensing her roughly through her position, she went to a sacred place in the Inner Domain—Holy Spirit Mountain."
"Holy Spirit Mountain can purify the human soul and stabilize her unique situation of having two souls in one body. I think this isn’t a bad thing for Kani, so I just let it slide without bringing her back."
"I will teach you the technique, so you can sense her position at any time."
"Moreover, with her cultivation reaching the Late Stage of the Sky-reaching Realm, she won’t encounter much danger outside."
"Holy Spirit Mountain?" Chen Xiao silently noted this place down. Hearing the backup plan left by Chen Wushuang, he felt reassured and then began his retreat to repair his body.
After the battle with the Star Heavenly Venerate, he was utterly exhausted and urgently needed to restore his strength!
A Qiankun Bag appeared in his hand, and Spirit Stones flew out from the bag, absorbed by him to replenish his Spiritual Power.
Only after a day, having absorbed a large number of Spirit Stones, did he gradually recover.
As soon as he recovered, he quietly snuck into Zi Yuan’s room in the middle of the night.
After some intimacy.
Zi Yuan contentedly cuddled in his arms.
Chen Xiao seized the moment to bring up the White Jade Snow Ganoderma.
Zi Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Our Xuantian Sect does indeed have a mother plant of the White Jade Snow Ganoderma. Although it’s precious, if I’m willing to talk to my father, it shouldn’t be a problem."
"However, you definitely have to come to the Xuantian Sect with me."
Chen Xiao felt a bit awkward because he hadn’t figured out how to face Zi Xuantian, the father-in-law yet, "Should I bring some gifts over?"
Zi Yuan smiled gently, her voice proud, "That depends on your sincerity. My father dotes on me immensely and has high expectations for my future husband. If you don’t perform well, then..."
A cunning gleam flashed in her eyes.
Chen Xiao racked his brains but couldn’t figure out what gift to bring for Zi Xuantian.
His trip to the Xuantian Sect was intended to ask for help, and meeting his father-in-law was part of it; he couldn’t go empty-handed and still take things?
After leaving Zi Yuan’s room, he went to consult Chen Wushuang on his thoughts.
Chen Wushuang was speechless, "I’ve never met a father-in-law, how would I know?!"
"How did you meet mom then?"
"Pure charm." Chen Wushuang boasted proudly, "I saved her life, and then she followed me."
Chen Xiao retorted, "That’s such a cliché and dramatic plot."
Chen Wushuang laughed again, "What are you worried about? Rare cultivation resources are always valuable, just bring some good things over, so they can’t have any objections."
This revived Chen Xiao’s spirits!
If he brought good enough items, why worry about the father-in-law being displeased?
"Why don’t I craft some elixirs?" Chen Xiao suggested after thinking.
"That works." Chen Wushuang replied, "The best would be an elixir that can instantly elevate their cultivation, benefits that’ll garner goodwill quickly!"
"Okay."
Upon hearing Chen Wushuang’s suggestion, Chen Xiao hesitated no more and started mulling over the alchemy matter, also taking the opportunity to ask Zi Yuan about the cultivation levels of influential figures within the Xuantian Sect.
Zi Yuan informed him one by one.
Unbeknownst to him, Xiyue got wind of Chen Xiao’s trip to the Xuantian Sect and felt a twinge of jealousy.
She and Zi Yuan were both this guy’s women, yet he prioritized visiting the Xuantian Sect first...
Wasn’t this favoritism?
Soon, she came under the cover of night to demand an explanation.
Chen Xiao explained the situation; his visit to the Xuantian Sect was for acquiring the White Jade Snow Ganoderma.
Xiyue was not convinced, her tone still accusing Chen Xiao of favoritism, her eyes full of grievance.
Seeing reasoning was not working, Chen Xiao had to switch tactics.
Ultimately, through his efforts, Xiyue’s haughty demeanor turned into pleas for mercy, becoming a meek little lamb begging for forgiveness.
Only then did Chen Xiao reluctantly let her off.
Breathing heavily, Xiyue still had a lingering charm on her pretty face, "After you obtain the White Jade Snow Ganoderma from the Xuantian Sect, when will you visit my Great Zhou Imperial Family?"
"I’ll let you know in advance, I have a marriage contract waiting. Once I return, I’ll probably be forced to fulfill it, and if you don’t come in time, I’m not waiting for you!"
Hearing Xiyue’s proud words, Chen Xiao chuckled, holding her in his arms, reassuring her, "Once I finish my tasks, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer."
"No one is snatching my woman."
"Good enough." Xiyue, satisfied with his promise, left Chen Xiao’s room with contentment.
She dared not stay longer, or she couldn’t handle him with his stamina. Earlier, she merely acted coy, yet it was enough to bring out Chen Xiao’s full force, leaving her defenseless until she had to submit to his firm stance.
After settling the two women, Chen Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, taking a nap before heading to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion branch in Tianyuan City the next day, to purchase a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for crafting elixirs.
