"My husband~ before you leave, why not ease my longing a little?"
Under the candlelight of the inner hall, Zhu Nanzhi stood with her legs slightly apart, lifting her skirt with her left hand, pressing it against her lower abdomen. Her slightly bent posture, with her right hand making a "V" downward, exuded an alluring sense of fallen fairy.
Sss...
After looking for a moment, Lu Jin'an shifted his gaze incredulously to Zhu Nanzhi's flushed face and licked his dry lips, "You always surprise me greatly."
"It's all because my husband is so enchanting for me." Zhu Nanzhi breathed softly, speaking with a tremor in her voice, seemingly tired from displaying her flexible waist, "I think if my husband could pamper me a bit more, it would greatly ease my longing.
Otherwise, during the days without you by my side, what should I do when longing turns into a river?"
Lu Jin'an's lips twitched as he restrained his inner desires, "I think not, I don't want to get poisoned again with no escape."
After speaking, he turned and headed outside.
Lu Jin'an's response didn't surprise Zhu Nanzhi—if he truly came, she could dare to reverse her approach completely.
She was confident in her appearance and figure, and even more infatuated with Lu Jin'an's self-control to restrain his desires at that moment.
Gently licking her lips, Zhu Nanzhi chuckled softly. Her aim was merely to ensure her husband firmly remembers the path they'd walked over the past six months before departing.
To deepen his memory, perhaps he would recall his current self every day.
It's said that the more you think about someone, the deeper your feelings naturally become.
Zhu Nanzhi let down her skirt and watched Lu Jin'an about to step into the rainy night, suddenly calling out, "Young Master Lu."
Lu Jin'an paused and turned to look at her, "Hmm?"
Zhu Nanzhi gazed deeply into his black eyes, bowing with her right hand extended outward, "Until we meet again."
"Alright!"
With Lu Jin'an's words, Zhu Nanzhi distinctly felt the view brighten a little, as her husband's shadow was no longer there.
Gently biting her lower lip, Zhu Nanzhi looked up at the dark, rainy night outside. Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly, blurring her vision like a curtain of rain.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Nanzhi murmured softly, "It's not like my husband is leaving me for good..."
Calming her feelings of longing, Zhu Nanzhi stepped out of the clinic. Even with stormy winds and rain, not a single drop fell on her.
After closing the clinic door, she placed her right hand on the wooden gate, letting spiritual power spread like frost from her palm, covering the entire clinic in an instant.
Ka—
With a crisp sound, the entire clinic turned into scattered ice crystals, blown away by the wind.
This place was where her husband had stayed for over a year. If the [Nanzhuo Alliance] wins, it would inevitably be torched. It was better to destroy it herself first.
When all the ice crystals dissipated, Zhu Nanzhi's eyes turned clear and cold as she thought of something.
What exactly was her husband's opportunity to refine her into a sword spirit?
She intended to refine him into a sword spirit because she couldn't take him back to Qingmiao Palace. What about him?
The sect doesn't accept female disciples?
Impossible... A sect that could cultivate someone like him to the Tongsheng Realm at such a young age must not be minor, and top sects never refuse male disciples, so why would there be a refusal for female disciples?
'Whatever, I'll find out next time I see my husband... I wonder how long that will be.'
Gathering her thoughts, Zhu Nanzhi walked into the rain, quickly planning to complete another task her master assigned, then return to the sect to investigate her husband's identity... Such a young person in the Tongsheng Realm couldn't be obscure.
"I should have asked if his real name is 'Lu An' just now..."
······
Upon returning to the rural courtyard where she and her husband had lived for a year and a half, Zhu Nanzhi was about to open the door when Han Wu opened it from within, "Miss, you're ba... huh?"
Han Wu, assuming that Zhu Nanzhi went to deliver food to that guy as usual and would return with him, asked in surprise when she saw no one beside Zhu Nanzhi, "Where is he?"
Zhu Nanzhi did not answer this question, instead, she asked while walking inside, "I'll bathe first... Does the situation seem optimistic?"
Following Zhu Nanzhi into the inner house and preparing the bath water, she said, "Li Huangquan indeed broke through to the Sitting and Illuminating Realm, but the [Nanzhuo Alliance] likely obtained a defensive array from the True Monarch Ancient Tomb, which temporarily halts Blood Emperor Sect's attack.
Lin Mu is also in seclusion, and I discovered with the Detection Stone that Xiao Li's [Flawless Immortal Body] aura has intensified, hinting at awakening. It seems Li Huangquan's sudden breakthrough to the Sitting and Illuminating Realm has made her feel a sense of urgency."
Zhu Nanzhi undressed and sat into the bathtub, closing her eyes and silently washing her post-sweat body.
As she washed, her cheeks flushed slightly. Though she was almost enthralled enough to reverse the flow at the clinic, luckily she only wasted herself without letting her husband leave her.
She never wasted anything!
Zhu Nanzhi was never worried about returning to Qingmiao Palace with a pregnant belly, for she did not want a child to divide her husband's affection.
"How long do you think it will take for Xiao Li to awaken [Flawless Immortal Body]?" Zhu Nanzhi asked, forcing herself not to think of her husband, diverting her attention.
"Xiao Li is currently at the late-stage Yun Dao Realm. Normally, she would awaken [Flawless Immortal Body] upon reaching the Sitting and Illuminating Realm. With Li Huangquan's fierce attack, if nothing unexpected happens, she will awaken by the latest the day after tomorrow," Han Wu explained, sharing all the information she had, "Just don't know if Lin Mu can break through smoothly. If an accident occurs causing Xiao Li's Dao heart to shatter, it would be a disaster."
Zhu Nanzhi nonchalantly said, "As long as he doesn't die, that's fine. As long as he's alive, Xiao Li will have the motivation to improve her cultivation and find a way to help him."
The Pristine Immortal Body and Flawless Immortal Body are both Immortal Bodies, but the former ranks higher than the latter.
Because Flawless is only bodily flawlessness, with naturally flowing meridians and no bottleneck in early cultivation, while Pristine signifies not only bodily but also mental flawlessness, unperturbed by heart demons.
Zhu Nanzhi understood that as long as Lin Mu didn't die, Xiao Li wouldn't waste her Flawless Immortal Body due to a clouded Dao heart.
As long as she brings her back to the palace to learn the Supreme Forget Love Immortal Technique, make her Dao heart match the Flawless Immortal Body, in time, she would certainly step into the Divine Presence and become an Immortal.
"Go check it out later."
Zhu Nanzhi stepped out of the bathtub, with Han Wu having thoughtfully prepared clothes.
As Zhu Nanzhi reached out to grab them, her fingers paused, "I won't wear the Hezi skirt, bring me that Jiao Ling Ruqun I had when I first came here."
Although Han Wu was puzzled, she quickly went to find the clothes.
Zhu Nanzhi chuckled softly. Although the Hezi skirt was pretty, it was comparatively revealing, and her good figure would show off her collarbones and some fair skin...
Not being able to display herself in front of her husband now, there was no need to dress flamboyantly.
She quickly changed into the pure white Jiao Ling Ruqun Han Wu brought over and added a coat of the same color, covering her alluring figure entirely, even her elegant, fair neck was barely visible between the two strands of dark green hair falling from her shoulders.
She simply styled her hair, securing it with a jade hairpin before stepping into the rainy night.
Han Wu stood dazed, looking at Zhu Nanzhi at that moment—this was the Holy Daughter she knew, aloof and out of this world, elegant and noble, untouched by worldly dust.
But why did the Holy Daughter suddenly stop wearing the hairstyle of a married woman? She had kept this hairstyle all year...
Could it be that the Holy Daughter has already refined that guy into a sword spirit?
With this thought, Han Wu's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's very possible!
That was why he didn't come back, why the Holy Daughter didn't talk much about him tonight, and why she reverted to her aloof and ethereal demeanor!
Because she had already stepped out of the mortal world!
Thinking of this, Han Wu couldn't hide her happy expression as she followed along, but at Zhu Nanzhi's side, she restrained her smile and didn't ask questions, knowing how she would feel after refining her husband into a sword spirit.
'Great, everything is going according to the Holy Daughter's plan.'
'That guy's expression must have been astonishing.'
'But it doesn't matter now, this way, the Holy Daughter can achieve the Immortal Path and become famous throughout the world.'
Han Wu thought happily.
