Chapter 427: 228. Assassinations Across Realms, One Sea Stroking Twin Peaks, Challenge Issued (5.0K - Seeking Subscriptions)

Above the Imperial Palace of Great Chu.

The whale woven from red Qi burst open in the azure sky, not brilliant, and imperceptible to mortals.

Lian Chanxi, however, stared dumbly at the two figures that emerged after the dissipating red Qi, with only one thought swirling in her mind: Wasn’t Song already long dead? Didn’t he... enter his aunt’s room with serious injuries and then die there?

A woman’s intuition had her swiftly glance at her aunt.

In the aunt’s eyes, there was sweetness, as well as a touch of nervousness.

In an instant, Lian Chanxi seemed to understand something.

She grasped An Chenyu as they slowly descended from mid-air.

Time seemed to slow down as Song Cheng and Jing Shifei also descended in front of her.

"Auntie?"

"Chanxi, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Lian Chanxi, unexpectedly, did not obey, and with a heaving chest, she emotionally retorted, "What more is there to say?!"

For mere mortals, a brief interaction, even with the title of "Taoist Companion," would not leave such a profound impression. But the exchange at the level of Master of Mountains and Rivers Realm was a complete fusion of thoughts.

Aside from not having completed the Dual Cultivation, what Lian Chanxi and Song Cheng shared was exactly what Jing Shifei and Song Cheng did together. Many of their thoughts were intermingled; that joy was a special light in their lengthy lives, a beautifully exquisite fruit.

Decades, to a mortal, is a lifetime.

But for Lian Chanxi, it felt like "just yesterday’s" wait.

She still remembered the joy she felt when she was with Song Cheng.

And that was why, even after so many years, she was still willing to wholeheartedly care for the descendants of Song Cheng in the mortal world.

Thus, at this moment, after faintly realizing something, a surge of complex emotions flooded Lian Chanxi’s heart.

She stopped looking at her aunt and turned to Song Cheng, her red lips trembling, eyes brimming with tears, as she wanted to angrily question "You explain".

But these words... remained unspoken, as she suddenly realized something more.

Song Cheng was very powerful.

The red whale had been shattered by Song Cheng.

And her aunt was so, surely attracted by Song Cheng’s power.

Then... why had Song Cheng become so powerful?

With but a brief thought, Lian Chanxi recalled the busy days when she examined various Cultivation Techniques everywhere, and she formulated a guess that, although bizarre, seemed to most fit the truth. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Her aunt had helped him.

Song Cheng and her aunt were the true Taoist Companions, the ones who endured hardships together, supported each other, and helped each other succeed.

The superfluous one... was her.

She... was too weak.

What more was there to question?

Lian Chanxi’s gaze toward Song Cheng slowly shifted from initial anger to a look of grievance, weakness, and avoidance. She turned her head away, no longer looking at anyone, and murmured softly, "Since you’ve come, this place is safe, I... I’ll go first."

Her Divine Soul disengaged from the body of the West Pole woman and, without turning her head back, she made for the Dream Domain...

But in the next moment, she felt her hand being caught.

That tugging force made her let out a startled cry like a mortal woman, then she was pulled back, landing in a firm and warm embrace.

The familiar feeling warmed Lian Chanxi’s heart inexplicably, and the emotions labeled "sweetness and anticipation" surged anew.

Song Cheng pulled her because he cared about her.

Hence, she did not struggle, and said softly, "Why are you still holding onto me?"

Song Cheng lowered his head, came close to her ear, and asked softly, "Over these years, have you cultivated the Dual Cultivation Technique properly?"

Lian Chanxi’s entire being suddenly flared with amorous thoughts, and she scolded, "If you want to Dual Cultivate, why are you still looking for me? Go... go find Auntie."

Having said this, her expression suddenly turned melancholy, her heart filled with sorrow, and she said, "Auntie suits you better."

Song Cheng said, "You suit me too."

Lian Chanxi was stunned and said, "But... you can’t just abandon Auntie, can you?"

Song Cheng said, "I won’t abandon anyone."

Lian Chanxi: ???

In the next moment, she suddenly realized something, her cherry lips parted slightly, as if she had discerned Song Cheng’s intentions and took in a sharp breath.

Lian Chanxi’s astonished expression was very delicate and adorable.

Her mouth was small, her red lips resembling sweet plum blossoms when tightly sealed, showing utmost demureness, yet when opened, they resembled a flurry of warbler cries constantly calling "Auntie Auntie, Song Song."

These sweet sounds seemed to endow her tiny lips with a sweetness, making one think of "honey," "candy," and the like when looking at her lips.

She grew up under the protection of Jing Shifei, and she was a little haughty. Even on the bed, she was very different from her aunt’s style. She relied on being a senior and kept instructing Song Cheng on how to move.

And Jing Shifei had large eyes, capable of overseeing a region or even manipulating circumstances as a real figure of authority. She was the first to propose the fusion of the Seven Palaces, and she did so to set up a gamble, staking everything on investing in Song Cheng. Now that Song Cheng had grown powerful, she behaved like a clingy bird in front of him.

She wore long gowns of authority, and windings of power, all of which could ignite the desires of a male of a similar Realm.

The joy of Dual Cultivation with two such women was indeed unimaginable.

Seeing Lian Chanxi’s emotions stabilize somewhat, Jing Shifei approached and gently said, "Chanxi, many things have happened during the days you were away from the Mysterious Clear Palace, let Auntie tell you slowly, okay?"

Lian Chanxi was silent for a moment and then slowly nodded.

Jing Shifei took her niece aside and spoke to her in whispers. As for the Qi of Anomalies here, she had a sense of "if the sky falls, Song Cheng will hold it up."
