Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 153: Pendant Necklace

Hearing this, the spectators turned to look at the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Zhang was not stupid.

After the initial outburst, he immediately came to his senses.

’The Xiao family has offended too many people. We need to return to the Xiao residence before they confirm the ancestor is dead.’

With that, Xiao Zhang glared at Zhen Yuan before leading the Xiao family away from the clearing.

"Why did they suddenly leave?" Someone asked.

"Senior Xiao checked his communication jade before he left."

"Could it be..."

"Could it be?"

"Maybe the ancestor’s soul lamp has gone out."

"How can it be so easy to kill a nascent soul realm cultivator?" Someone sneered.

"This fellow Daoist is right. The death of the body doesn’t necessarily mean the death of the cultivator. After all, a nascent soul can exist outside the body. Ancestor Xiao can continue to live as long as he seizes a body within one year."

"I know that but... where is the body and the nascent soul?"

"Are you making sense? What is ancestor Xiao’s cultivation and what is Zhen Yuan’s cultivation? How is it possible for Zhen Yuan to completely annihilate ancestor Xiao? Although I didn’t see it, I believe ancestor Xiao escaped."

"Your belief is logical but what about this confrontation has been logical? I believe Zhen Yuan somehow annihilated ancestor Xiao’s body and soul."

Hearing this, several people fell silent.

At this point, although they disliked the Xiao family, they hoped ancestor Xiao somehow managed to escape.

After all, the alternative was too terrifying.

Tacitly, the surrounding cultivators began to leave.

When he saw this, Shen Xu sighed in relief.

"Why are you relieved? I thought you are fearless?" Dongfang Jing sneered.

Hearing this, Shen Xu smiled, and looked at his fellow double.

"I am just a weak double. How can I be fearless?" He asked and Dongfang Jing snorted in disdain.

"You dare to pierce a hole in the sky and then ask us to help you deal with the mess. How can that not be fearless? What would you have done if Chen Yi and I were not here?"

"Escape." Shen Xu immediately said and Dongfang Jing rolled his eyes before he spoke.

"Hurry up and get on the ship." He said.

Soon after, the students of the Divine Rainbow Academy entered a level three flying ship.

The flying ship had a navigation room, one hundred rooms, and a deck.

After entering the ship, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan randomly chose a room.

"How is your body?" Shen Xu asked as soon as the door closed behind them.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he removed a formation disk from his space ring and handed it to Shen Xu.

Seeing the formation disk, the double understood and immediately nodded.

A moment later, he activated the formation disk and their room became an isolated zone.

"I will be fine after resting for a few days." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

"It’s too bad we can’t enter the space." Shen Xu frowned.

"I only need a few days. Time will pass in the blink of an eye."

"I know." The double sighed before he quickly continued.

"I will keep watch while you rest."

"Don’t you want to know how I dealt with ancestor Xiao?"

"It won’t be too late to tell me after your soul power recovers."

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard that and his eyes softened.

’Xiaoxu must be dying to know but he is restraining his curiosity because he doesn’t want to delay my recovery. I am really lucky to meet such a good wife.’ He thought.

At the same time, he wished he could immediately satisfy Shen Xu’s curiosity.

However, he was at his limit and couldn’t ignore the splitting headache.

"I will tell you everything when I wake up." He promised.

"Okay. I will wait."

As promised, Shen Xu kept watch while Zhen Yuan was recovering.

Four days later, Zhen Yuan woke up.

"How?" Shen Xu asked, held Zhen Yuan’s wrist, and took his pulse.

"I am fine." Zhen Yuan answered but the double wasn’t relieved until he confirmed it for himself.

After that, Shen Xu looked at Zhen Yuan, his face filled with admiration.

"Brother Yuan is so amazing. You actually reduced old man Xiao into nothing." The double praised.

"Not nothing." Zhen Yuan smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"I reduced him into pure qi."

"How?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"I seemed to understand something in that moment. However, I don’t remember what I understood."

"Does that mean you can’t use that attack again?"

"I can’t." Zhen Yuan sighed with a helpless expression.

Hearing this, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes but he was secretly relieved.

For some reason, he felt that attack was a big deal and not something that should be easily used.

"Brother Yuan..." He started, looking at Zhen Yuan with a guilty expression.

"Are you happy that I can’t use that attack?" Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"How do you know?" The double unconsciously asked.

"You are my wife." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu sighed.

"Are you disappointed in me? Do you think I am petty?" The double asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"Your reaction is instinctive rather than conscious. You are not the only one who feels this way."

"You too?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head, his lips curled in a wry smile.

"Chen Yi and Dongfang Jing. Maybe some other golden core realm and nascent soul realm cultivators also instinctively don’t want to see that attack."

"In fact, I didn’t see the attack. My instincts flared when watching the nothingness of the aftermath." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded before he spoke.

"Let’s not worry about it for the time being."

"Okay." Shen Xu agreed.

Time passed and before they knew it, it was eleven days later.

On this day, Shen Xu was reading an alchemy book when his eyes suddenly widened.

Sensing the double’s restlessness, Zhen Yuan looked at the person and raised an eyebrow.

"The space has upgraded." Shen Xu smiled.

At the same time, a pendant necklace appeared around his neck.

"That..." Zhen Yuan muttered, pointing at the necklace.

At a glance, the necklace was a simple gold chain with a red pearl pendant.

"Brother Yuan, we are in luck." Shen Xu excitedly stated.

"What do you mean?"

"You are more thoughtful than I am and should have already noticed the problem with our plan to cultivate on the merchant ship." The double stated and Zhen Yuan nodded.

The Chaos Flame space was convenient and could be entered from anywhere.

However, after leaving the space, one would appear at the place from where they entered.

Considering that, entering the space during the trip to the Tianqi continent was an impossible task.

After all, the ship was not stationary.

If they dared to enter the Chaos Flame space, they would likely find themselves in the void when they exited.

Because they understood this, both expected that one person would have to stay outside during the trip.

That way, the person could help the other exit the chaos flame space when they reached the Tianqi continent.

"Is there a solution?" Zhen Yuan asked and couldn’t help but be excited.

"This thing." Shen Xu said, removing the pendant necklace from around his neck.

"As long as this pendant necklace is outside the space, we can exit at its location."

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard this.

"After we board the merchant ship, we will leave this pendant necklace in our cabin before we enter the space." The double excitedly stated.

"It’s a good thing." Zhen Yuan nodded and quickly continued.

"What other changes are there?" He asked.

"Do you want to see?" Shen Xu asked with a teasing expression.

"I want." Zhen Yuan nodded.

After that, Shen Xu hid the pendant necklace under the bed before pulling Zhen Yuan into the space.

Soon after, two people appeared in the space.

Looking around, they were standing beside their bamboo hut and the medicinal hot spring.

However, something seemed different.

"We are at the top of a mountain." Shen Xu exclaimed and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"I didn’t expect such a change."

"There seems to be a restriction around this mountain." Zhen Yuan stated and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Restriction?" He asked but soon understood.

"Excluding you and I, only Xiaoren can enter this mountain. However, just like before, it can only enter the storage room of the bamboo hut." He said.

"The fields have also enlarged." Zhen Yuan observed and the double nodded.

"The area has expanded from two thousand acres to ten thousand acres. The area attributes have also become more pronounced. Unfortunately..."

"Are you disappointed the time flow hasn’t changed?" Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu nodded.

"Ten times more time is enough. We shouldn’t be too greedy."

"I know." Shen Xu sighed before he continued.

"Let’s go and see the changes in the bamboo hut." He said, pulling Zhen Yuan to walk into the hut.
