Chapter 126 1 False Alarm
It's the Refining Peak again.
But this time it was in the main hall, a magnificent hall.
Jiang Ruoyu sat in the main seat, while Zhang Zhaoying, Leng Feng, and Leng Family Sixth Uncle sat on the left and right sides, respectively, in the first and second seats.
Next were Leng Huan and Fu Xun. They sat in the seats below Leng Feng and Zhang Zhao, listening to the elders discuss the details, such as the date of birth, the birth certificate, and the keepsake. Fu Xun looked at her calmly, while Leng Huan was lost in thought.
Yesterday afternoon, after she came out of the customs, Leng Feng came to confirm with her whether they were really going to get engaged. Finally, under Leng Feng's disappointed gaze, she nodded hard.
Tsk, things are different now. To be honest, Fu Xun's status now is far, far, far higher than that of the Fu family's genius before.
Fu Xun calmly looked at Leng Huan, pretending not to notice the chilling glint in his eyes.
This time it was very harmonious. Uncle Leng Liu and Zhang Zhaoying's hearty laughter rang out from time to time, and the matter was quickly settled. The two sides exchanged marriage certificates and tokens. Fu Xun remembered his mother's last words and decided not to use the jade disc as a token again.
Instead, he prepared a high-quality icy green bracelet with special restrictions inside, but Fu Xun didn't mention it.
Leng Huan simply put it away as an ordinary ornament. The token prepared by the Leng family was a pair of jade pendants symbolizing concentricity, a high-level sensing magical artifact.
However, they can transmit messages over long distances, somewhat like a bell. Poor Leng Huan still doesn't know that the bell can not only transmit messages but also sense and track.
After the engagement was finalized, Leng Huan and his wife carefully kept their betrothal gifts, waiting for a suitable time to hold their marriage ceremony.

"Huanxue, what do you plan to do now? Go into seclusion in the sect?"
After the event ended, Leng Feng called Leng Huan to a corner of the garden to talk. After a pause, he asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Shh, it's just because Fu Xun has a bright future..." Leng Huan looked around furtively, acting more like a real person than a real one, and whispered to Leng Feng, "I'll recruit him first. There's no better way than to find a Daoist partner."
A cold wind brushed his forehead: "Someone like you... be careful not to deceive people, or you won't be able to get away with it!" He swallowed the word "foolish".
Leng Huan: "Don't panic, you have to trust my charm. Also, I'll be setting off south soon, so take your disciples with you for training. Oh, I'll take Leng Yan with me first, and leave one Golden Core Guardian for me."
Seeing how decisive she was now, and how independent she had become, Leng Feng sighed, "Whatever, I can't control you anymore. Be careful and act prudently. You're responsible for the people you've messed with. I'm also heading home."
Afraid that he would bring up the secret realm again, Leng Huan said "I know" and quickly ran away. Leng Feng, who was young, acted like an old woman.
-
"You haven't gone back yet?" Leng Huan ran out and saw Fu Xun still waiting at the garden gate. "Never mind, let's go first."
Fu Xun hummed in agreement, and the two walked together toward Maple Forest Garden. Leng Huan had been quite surprised to see him after a month apart; in just one month, his cultivation had surged to the late Nascent Soul stage. She truly envied such talent.
No wonder so many people in the original book wanted Long Aotian's talent and physique. Especially in the later stages, it became increasingly difficult to cultivate. If it weren't for the Leng family's cultivation techniques, Leng Huan would have despaired at Fu Xun's talent; he was like an insurmountable mountain!
Ordinary people can hardly catch up with him and can only watch helplessly as he leaves them further and further behind.
Calming himself down, Leng Huan glanced at his figure again out of the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly. In the original book, the author suppressed and tortured Long Aotian to death in the early stages, ostensibly to help him grow. But with his talent, even without such suppression and trampling, he could still have made it to the top.
They were completely different experiences, but they led to the same goal.
Looking at Fu Xun now, aside from the hardships he endured in his youth, the secret realm, and his encounter with members of the royal family, it seems that nothing else has happened. Fu Xun has already become a chosen one of heaven.
So there's absolutely no need to suffer like that.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Turning her gaze away, Leng Huan feigned seriousness. "Fu Xun, you are..." This was a sensitive matter, so she directly transmitted her thoughts to him: "How many old monsters are there in the Divine Dynasty's royal family?"
Fu Xun wouldn't tell him what he had done, so Leng Huan had no choice but to ask him this.
"There are roughly four Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and the ancestor at the Integration stage is said to be in seclusion. The remaining five are mostly Nascent Soul stage cultivators, with the majority at the Golden Core stage." Fu Xun's brow twitched slightly.
"The Divine Dynasty has had its own set of operating rules for thousands of years, and none of the emperors have ever surpassed the Golden Core stage. The royal family itself doesn't have many powerful figures, but they have many roots. Moreover, the Divine Dynasty has a large number of followers, and those kings, marquises, generals and ministers are not simple people."
"They seem formidable." Each tribulation results in the loss of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators; otherwise, the Divine Dynasty would have far more high-level cultivators than just this many. Leng Huan sighed casually, "I wonder what Xiao Si's cultivation level is now, and whether she's still alive?"
Fu Xun transmitted his voice: "Senior sister, don't worry about it. I have already killed them in the secret realm."
Leng Huan feigned shock while simultaneously transmitting his voice: "Ah, what happened? You... I'm glad you're safe. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the royal family?"
Fu Xun's expression remained unchanged: "I'm not afraid. Aside from the fact that most reclusive elders wouldn't emerge from seclusion for such a trivial matter, just the fact that all three of their Golden Core cultivators were wiped out shows they've offended someone they shouldn't have."
The royal family has more than just Xiao Si and Xiao Yun as descendants; they won't go to great lengths to retaliate. As for their parents… that's possible, but as far as I know, Xiao Si is just the daughter of a concubine with no powerful background, while Xiao Yun was fiercely competing with another prince and was injured in the process, so his maternal family doesn't dare to act rashly.
Leng Huan glanced at him: What if their mother's clan really sends people?
Fu Xun chuckled silently: It seems there are only Nascent Soul cultivators. Did Senior Sister think I would be afraid of them?
Leng Huan: ...
Leng Huan withdrew his divine sense and strode away.
I told you not to worry about Long Aotian!
Everyone else who bumps into him will die, but he'll be fine!
Fu Xun had no choice but to quicken his pace and grab her hand to walk together. "Senior sister, what's wrong?"
Leng Huan lowered his head and said, "This world is dangerous. You'd better be careful."
"Okay, I'll remember. Senior sister, don't be angry. I'll definitely be fine. I'll come and marry you when I've completed my cultivation."
“…” Leng Huan was so annoyed. He was getting married every day. He wanted him to advance quickly, but he was also afraid that he would become uncontrollable in the future. “Tomorrow I will go to the main peak to visit Sang Biao, and then I will set off.”
"Okay. Senior sister, please take out the token bracelet."
"What?" Leng Huan took it out, but Fu Xun didn't answer. He grabbed her left wrist and put it on her wrist in one go... and then he couldn't take it off!
The storage bracelet on her right hand was a simple and antique-style brass bracelet. She was a little uncomfortable with this delicate decoration. She stared at Fu Xun for a few moments, then looked at the bracelet again. It was only pretty and had no other use. In the end, Leng Huan put on the engagement token.
Fu Xun pulled up the icy green safety buckle around his neck. "This was carved from the core of a bracelet. It's made from the same piece of material. This is the engagement token."
Given her past attempts to sneak away, even knowing she disliked wearing these ornaments, Fu Xun inexplicably didn't tell her they were special magical artifacts.
-
The next day, the main peak.
"Sang Biao, where's your cub?" Leng Huan poked the dog's head, knowing that Fu Xun had fed it a Beast Spirit Fruit, and now it was equivalent to a low-level spirit beast with the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
I gave it a Beast Spirit Grass when I got back, and its aptitude improved a bit. Sang Biao barked. Leng Huan could only say that the silly dog was lucky. It followed Xiao Bai around every day, eating and drinking for free. It was only because Fairy Piaomiao was not poor that she could afford to raise two, no, and Xiao Bai's four little ones... big wolfhounds!
Turning his head, Leng Huan saw the ethereal fairy walking over, with Sang Biao's sons by her side. Leng Huan: "..." So many wolves and dogs.
The pure white wolf with the best bloodline was even a size larger than Sang Biao.
Leng Huan looked at Sang Biao, who was squatting with a silly expression. Actually... actually, even a stray dog is quite cute.
Xiao Bai slowly strolled over, licked Sang Biao's dog face, and whimpered a few words. Leng Huan looked at Ji Linlang and asked, "Senior Sister, what is Xiao Bai saying?"
Ji Linlang glanced at the four big ones beside her, looking a little worried: "It's nothing, it's just that Xiaobai is pregnant again."
Again? Leng Huan turned her head and stared at Xiao Bai's belly. It wasn't obvious yet, and she couldn't tell. She squatted down and stroked Xiao Bai's back fur. As she stroked it, her hand suddenly froze.
Leng Huan's mind went blank. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Did she sleep with Fu Xun several times without using protection? Holy crap! What if she gets pregnant?
Leng Huan's expression changed drastically, and he lost all interest in playing with the dog. He hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Linlang and returned to Maple Forest Garden.
Now, more than two months have passed, and she doesn't know any traditional Chinese medicine, which frightened Leng Huan so much that he flew straight to Lingyao Peak on his sword to find Che Li.
“Senior Sister Leng, you are in excellent health and have no problems whatsoever,” Che Li said as she put away the pulse pillow.
"That's good, thank you very much, Junior Brother Che Li. Hahaha, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to adapt after refining so many spiritual herbs during my seclusion."
Leng Huan casually lowered his sleeve, almost bursting into tears of joy inside. "That's good, that's good, hahaha."
———What a false alarm!
Oh my god, that scared Dad to death!
Then Leng Huan realized, "Damn it, my period is normal!"
With a dark expression, it soared into the sky and flew away amidst Che Li's bewildered gaze.
