He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Chapter 178 Dawn is Approaching

Fu Xun: "..."

She always managed to refresh his... impression of her time and time again.

But he seems even more excited now.

His hot breath brushed against her face: "Leng Huan, you... don't speak..."

He actually went even further!

Leng Huan's expression changed. "Wait! Here... back... um..."

***

Ripples spread across the water, the soft moaning ceased, and lips and teeth clung together.

The two fought back and forth for a long time, but Leng Huan finally lost, abandoning her city and armor. Enraged, she bit Leng Huan's shoulder, and still not satisfied, she scratched several marks on Leng Huan's chest and back.

Unfortunately, the other party's physical body was too strong, leaving only a red mark. It had no effect whatsoever, but instead aroused their interest, leading to another battle.

Leng Huan's legs went weak and his feet ached. He admitted defeat: "Isn't it... time to... end this...?"

Fu Xun held her hand firmly: "Wife, are you tired?"

Leng Huan simply lowered his head and bit the person hard. What else could he do but be tired?

It floats up one minute and sinks the next, it's awful!

Fu Xun bit his lip, hissing softly. He leaned close to her ear, suppressing his breath, his voice deep and hoarse: "Next time I'll let you... If it weren't for Yun Du's sake, my wife probably wouldn't be able to leave the house for days..."

Leng Huan's hands, supporting him, trembled slightly. He was shocked that this rogue was still not satisfied; roughly calculating, he was already...

Depend on!

It's almost dawn!

**

Perhaps it was too chaotic at the end, because Leng Huan had a dream full of storms, lightning and thunder.

I don't know when I got back to the main house.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a pink and gold lotus-patterned bed curtain overhead. Looking to the side, I saw a light blue gauze curtain. No one was there. I could hear the sound of wind and rain outside—the last downpour before summer.

She was still wearing that white gauze dress, made of fine material. Even after all that, it was still straight and smooth, without a single wrinkle!

But she didn't want to wear it anymore, so she changed into a light blue gauze dress before going out. As soon as she moved the door, the restriction fluctuated, and Fu Xun's voice rang out from the ground: "My wife is awake. I'm with Yun Du at Sword Peak."

Leng Huan replied with a message indicating that he understood.

The door opened, and a gentle breeze rushed in, causing her clothes to flutter and her long, loose hair to blow across her face. Leng Huan grabbed half of her hair with a hairpin, casually tied it into a bun, and stepped out of the threshold to walk along the veranda.

The garden is filled with the sound of rain, the flowers have fallen and turned to mud, and the beauty of spring is fading.

After walking around, I was very satisfied with the layout of the courtyard. It was not monotonous at all, and the flowers and trees were different in each of the four seasons.

"Tsk!" Leng Huan stroked his chin.

Fu Xun has good taste; he knows how to choose a place. After quietly praising him, Leng Huan went back to his room to tidy up again before heading to the front hall.

Unfortunately, as soon as she arrived, a servant disciple outside the hall informed her about her status. Logically, with her current cultivation level, she could be an elder of a peak, but she and Fu Xun were both from the younger generation.

"From now on, Senior Sister Leng, all your expenses shall be in accordance with the elders' standards."

After the servant disciples left, Leng Huan thought of Ji Linlang, who was now in the late stage of the Golden Core realm. He had previously overheard rumors that the sect leader intended to choose Fu Xun as his son-in-law.

He thought to himself, "Sect Leader Ji has a good eye. No matter how you look at it, Fu Xun is the most promising one."

If Leng Huan had been any more ordinary, he probably would have received a private conversation with the sect leader; if he had been any more despicable, he would probably have been subjected to rumors and suppression.

-

Outside Jufang Hall.

"Huanxue, are you going out?" Leng Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard Fu Yuqing's voice.

The rain stopped, and Leng Huan was preparing to go to Wenjian Peak to pick up someone. Just then, Fu Yuqing came to find her, and the two met in front of the hall.

Leng Huan: "Fu...cousin, what brings you here?"

Just as it was approaching Shenshi (3-5 PM), the clouds parted and a beam of light shone down. Fu Yuqing, with a smile on her delicate and gentle face, took out a fish-shaped jade amulet for peace. "This is a gift for Yun Du. I was too rushed yesterday to prepare it."

She flew over directly, and Leng Huan had no choice but to accept the jade talisman, which was quite unique and also served as a protective magic artifact. "Thank you for your trouble, on behalf of Yun Du, thank you."

Fu Yuqing shook her head: "It's not expensive at all, it's just a small item, I'm glad you don't mind."

"How could that be?" Leng Huan thought it wouldn't be right to refuse someone a cup of tea after receiving a gift. "We just moved in last night, cousin, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

"No, thank you," Fu Yuqing refused. "Since you're going out soon, and I don't have anything else to do, I won't keep you any longer."

“I was planning to go and take a look at Sword Peak,” Leng Huan said, gesturing first, “Perfect timing, I’ll see you off.”

"That's good."

The two then slowly walked towards the Mingxiu Peak plank road.

"I heard that the Department of Rites has confirmed your auspicious date and is preparing invitations. Your sect intends to invite all the major sects of the Eastern Sea Immortal Clan. You will be getting married soon... After the marriage is finalized, will you be traveling far away again?"

Leng Huan was sizing up Fu Yuqing, who was even more dignified and graceful than when she left Beijun. He was secretly pleased, thinking that she was a gentle and beautiful fairy.

It was Fu Yuqing herself who gave the minor character of Fu Yuqing a true soul by breaking free from the predetermined quagmire.

I hope she can live a good life and never repeat the same mistakes.

Hearing her ask this, Leng Huan thought for a moment and shook her head: "Not for now, I want to spend more time with the child."

“That’s fine too.” Nodding slightly, Fu Yuqing also secretly examined Leng Huan. At first glance, she seemed no different from more than ten years ago, but upon closer inspection, she realized that the once lively girl had become a composed Nascent Soul Venerable and a gentle and kind mother.

I sigh. Years have passed since we last met, and the people and things seem the same yet different.

It has changed, yet it hasn't changed.

When she reached the steps of the plank road, she saw Fu Xun carrying Yun Du as they slowly walked towards her and stood beside Leng Huan. The three of them looked harmonious and natural, which comforted Fu Yuqing. Fu Xun had finally gotten what he wanted.

"Well...you two have a good chat, I'll go first." Perhaps knowing that the siblings hadn't seen each other for a long time and should catch up, Leng Huan said this to them and walked away with Yun Du.

Seeing this, Fu Yuqing sighed again, "The eldest daughter of the Leng family is indeed a remarkable person. This is quite different from the previous rumors."

The brother and sister stood on the steps.

Fu Xun's aura is too strong now, and Fu Yuqing is feeling a bit pressured.

"Ah Xun, how have you been?"

Fu Xun: "Yeah, cousin, it's been so long! I was planning to come visit you later. How are you doing at the sect?"

Fu Yuqing said helplessly, "The sect is very good, but I missed your engagement with Miss Huanxue back then, and I also missed your chief ceremony. I only learned about these things after I came out of seclusion."

Fu Xun took a few steps and looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the railing: "There were too many things back then, so I hurriedly asked Uncle Zhang to take care of you. I just hope you won't suffer any grievances."

He turned to look at his cousin. She was no longer as cautious as before, and her demeanor was graceful and poised. Fu Xun felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders: "Sister, we have no family, but as long as I am here, I will protect you."

After saying that, a flash of light appeared on his hand, and a ring appeared. He handed it to Fu Yuqing, saying, "These are the cultivation resources that are currently suitable for you. Inside is a high-level defensive magic artifact and some talismans that can seal my attacks. If you encounter any trouble, just come to me."

Fu Yuqing stared blankly for a long time, looking at the ring floating in front of her, unsure whether to accept it or not. "No, A-Xun, I..."

Fu Xun raised his hand to stop her, then suddenly laughed: "Sister, don't be so polite, you are the sister of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Fu Yuqing rubbed her forehead: "Alright, you and Huanxue are exceptionally talented and have already embarked on the path to immortality. I..."

She laughed freely: "I am of average talent and am destined not to keep up with your pace. Thank you for your gift. I will do my best to watch you continue on your journey."

Fu Xun nodded: "That's right. Talent isn't the deciding factor. I believe in my cousin."
