Chapter 826: Chapter 748: Newlywed (Part 2)
If I were to die, I would never again be able to hold the woman beside me; everything seems like it would vanish into thin air...
Perhaps sensing Shen Han’s change in mood, Shi Yuezhu gently shifted and nestled closer to Shen Han.
Her forehead rested against Shen Han’s chest.
"Thinking about something?"
She asked softly.
Shen Han lowered his head, tucking a strand of Shi Yuezhu’s hair behind her ear.
"Now I finally understand why people fear death.
All that I currently possess, I do not wish to leave behind.
Even the thought of potentially losing it fills me with a heart-wrenching pain."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuezhu pressed even closer to Shen Han.
She felt the same way.
Who would be willing to give up such beauty?
"When visiting that Senior Daquan this time, he gifted me a travel journal—a work he wrote during years of worldly travels.
I pondered if perhaps I could find a place for improvement within its pages, it might be worth a try."
"Any news of Uncle?"
Shi Yuezhu was aware that the Young Master of the Yun Family remained missing.
Shortly after Great Wei’s connection to the Southern Heaven Continent, the Young Master of the Yun Family disappeared.
"Regarding Uncle, Senior Daquan also mentioned to me that he saw traces of Uncle on the southwest side of Chaomu Mountain.
There seems to be a mysterious force there, capturing many people.
However, even someone as skilled in Body Technique as Senior Daquan was injured there.
It’s likely I’ll struggle to venture there any time soon."
Despite hearing this from Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu somehow felt a sense of reassurance wash over her.
Shen Han becoming more steady and valuing his life more was exactly what she hoped for.
The topic seemed somewhat heavy; discussing these matters on their wedding night was somewhat of a mood dampener.
"Back in the Immortal Extinction Array, did you imagine one day marrying me?"
Shen Han smiled, suddenly reminiscing about their first meeting—an unexpected encounter that brought them together.
Shi Yuezhu seemed to slip into nostalgia upon hearing this.
"I am quite older than you, back then in Great Wei, who knows how much gossip that would’ve stirred..."
Shi Yuezhu didn’t directly answer Shen Han’s question; she was still somewhat shy.
The time spent within the Immortal Extinction Array allowed her to see Shen Han’s character clearly.
In such circumstances, faced with Shen Han, she had no room for resistance.
Shen Han could do whatever he wanted to her.
But Shen Han did not; instead, he always respected and took care of her.
"In the beginning when we were trapped in the Immortal Extinction Array, I remember you were somewhat afraid of me."
"With my powers lost, how wouldn’t a woman be afraid..."
Shen Han laughed upon hearing this, "Afraid of what?"
"Afraid you might do something bad..."
Shi Yuezhu playfully chided, lightly biting Shen Han’s chest with her teeth.
"Me doing bad things?"
"You just did... not just once..."
In the small courtyard, the gentle willows were once again enveloped by the breeze...
As morning arrived, the two rose early, tidied themselves, and went to serve tea.
According to custom, today was the day to serve tea to the man’s elders.
Yet, as the two families were close, Shen Han intended not to stick strictly to this.
The elders at Xiaoyao Peak were also worthy of tea serving.
Shi Yuezhu had a rosy blush ever-present on her cheeks.
Newly becoming a wife, she maintained a sense of shyness...
There was also a banquet reception at Yun Mansion today.
The young people of Xiaoyao Peak and Yun Mansion planned to rest at home for two days before heading there.
As for Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu, everyone afforded them enough space to ensure they had quality time together.
The young couple naturally had many "things" to do.
At that moment, Shen Han was inside reading Senior Daquan’s travel journal.
After only reading for a moment, his gaze shifted to the side.
"Why do you always distract me when I’m reading..."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s complaint, Shi Yuezhu slightly furrowed her brows: "I’ve made no noise, where’s the disturbance..."
"Obviously there is."
Ignoring her protest, Shen Han went up to admonish her.
Shen Han took nearly seven days to finish reading the travel journal.
Critically, he had altered entries in the journal, adding the prefix [Easily Understandable].
Previously, he would have finished it in no more than a two-hour period.
Clearly, his mind had been divided.
Within the travel journal, Shen Han did indeed discover a realm of significance.
Connected to the Southern Heaven Continent’s Outer Domain was not only the sphere of Great Wei.
Many other regions are also linked.
Shen Han now noticed this domain specifically was one among many.
One reason this area caught Shen Han’s attention was Senior Daquan’s evaluation of it.
The closest First-Grade Immortal to the present is said to have emerged from this realm.
Moreover, within it, the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum is extraordinarily weak.
For those cultivating the new system, it’s a perilous wasteland.
In this realm, one could pretty much only cultivate using the Old Method.
Thus, other regions of the Southern Heaven Continent haven’t significantly influenced this area.
Besides individuals like Senior Daquan, likely no new system practitioner would venture there to investigate.
Going to such places is merely torture for new system practitioners.
The scarce Heaven and Earth’s Momentum might even cause one’s skills to degrade.
Yet, for Shen Han, such places might offer considerable benefits.
And this domain only allows Old Method cultivation, which over the years could have many more mystical elements.
These mystical elements serve as treasures of enlightenment unreachable elsewhere.
Additionally, according to the travel journal, this realm holds many First-Grade Immortal legacies.
In the past, even people from the Southern Heaven Continent coveted them.
For instance, a First-Grade Immortal’s weapon; even new system practitioners naturally desire such things.
Acquiring such treasures surely leads to enormous advancements.
The contents of the travel journal already offer Shen Han significant allure.
Never mind the First-Grade Immortal legacies.
Their old system research alone interests Shen Han.
Old cultivation methods differ with no exchange, likely following divergent paths.
Perhaps this realm holds other mystical methods.
Abandon the dross, gather the essence—an ingenious way to improve.
At night, Shen Han shared his intentions with Shi Yuezhu.
Without hesitation, Shi Yuezhu proposed traveling with Shen Han.
Shen Han, however, was reluctant.
In his heart, he truly didn’t wish for Shi Yuezhu to venture into danger.
Though more cautious than before, he still feared his loved ones facing the worst.
Seeing Shen Han’s refusal, Shi Yuezhu pouted her lips, feeling slightly frustrated.
However, Shi Yuezhu’s manner of frustration differed from other women.
Most women would push you away at a touch.
While Shi Yuezhu turned her body aside in frustration, spotting Shen Han not comforting her,
she instead grabbed Shen Han’s hand and hugged him...
This way of granting a step was harmless.
Leaning closer to Shi Yuezhu, Shen Han softly explained.
"Yuezhu, your Realm ability, even across the Southern Heaven Continent, is outstanding.
In the Immortal Realm, excellence prevails everywhere.
If not for stroke of luck, I should be far beneath you in talent.
Yet, in my heart, concerns remain...
I know you’re not a delicate young lady, never demanding.
Still, I truly hope you won’t risk yourself..."
Seeing his scattered words, Shen Han felt some incoherence.
Shi Yuezhu is no fragile vase, not a delicate young lady afraid of hardship.
Shen Han understood yet still dreaded her facing harm.
Shi Yuezhu said nothing, merely nestled against Shen Han.
While sensing Shen Han’s thoughts, she understood his need to protect.
A man desires to safeguard loved ones, ensuring family safety.
It’s the responsibility and courage of being the pillar.
Feeling this protection, Shi Yuezhu had her small complaints yet accepted it willingly.
