Chapter 548 So obedient!

Zhong Cai watched as his old man Wu flashed out of the battlefield and then flashed again, heading straight for him—at that moment, he was filled with anticipation!

Now, all he could see was that young man, whose black aura had faded and who seemed increasingly familiar as he ran, drawing ever closer.

Then, Zhong Cai felt a familiar presence and eagerly grasped the other person's forearm.

If Zhong Cai hadn't barely noticed the countless gazes around him, if he hadn't barely remembered that this was a battlefield, a very serious occasion, he would have rushed straight into Wu Shaogan's arms based on the longing in his heart at that moment!

And not just grabbing the forearm...

While still in that position, Wu Shaogan quickly hugged Zhong Cai. It was so fast, as if he couldn't help himself, but he always had a smile on his face, and his eyes became more and more tender as he got closer and closer to Zhong Cai.

Zhong Cai couldn't help but say, "Old Wu! I've missed you so much!"

The volume was also barely kept to a moderate level.

Wu Shaogan's smile deepened, his joy evident: "Me too," he said softly. "I'm so happy that A-Cai came to see me."

The two looked at each other again, but they were both quite restrained and quickly looked away, thus avoiding creating an overly heated atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Cai grabbed Wu Shaogan's wrist and directly probed into his soul to examine him.

Wu Shaogan offered no resistance, but stared intently at Zhong Cai's serious face.

·

Those who were not disciples of the Temple of War couldn't help but gasp in shock.

hiss--

This King Wu Dou has suddenly become even gentler!

She was so gentle, it was like she melted away; there was no trace of her previous ferocity.

That's outrageous!

Unbelievably outrageous!

Some of the Nine Sounds Sect disciples couldn't help but rub their eyes.

Logically speaking, cultivators shouldn't have such strange feelings and actions, but they had actually watched Wu Shaogan slaughter everyone for many days, killing so many evil cultivators that he probably couldn't even count the number himself—and now, he suddenly felt tender.

How can this not be astonishing?

The fact that these cultivators weren't shocked enough to open their mouths wide already shows that they are old and composed enough.

but……

However, it is still inevitable that some cultivators will secretly "collude" with the disciples of the War God Temple in their souls.

[Hey! Brother Xiao! I think I just heard King Zhong Dan call King Wu Dou "Old Wu"? Isn't that a bit too... overly familiar?]

[Brother Hu, you may not know this, but ever since I first met this couple, King Zhong Dan has been addressing King Wu Dou in this way. Why not use a more intimate term, but instead this one, I have no idea.]

[Senior Brother Xiao is right! Junior Brother Wu and Zhong Danwang are inseparable. We probably didn't see them often before, so we didn't pay much attention. But back in the Red Mist Mountain battlefield, quite a few people heard Zhong Danwang's clear, bright voice...]

[Hahaha! My Daoist partner is also from the Lingxian Sect. She received guidance from King Zhong Dan and has also seen Senior Brother Wu go to pick up people. King Zhong Dan would pretend to address newly acquainted people or seniors with a "Young Master," but once they became familiar, he would just say it naturally. After he did it once or twice, he simply stopped pretending!]

I do know some of the reasons...

Suddenly, a weak voice joined in.

He was also a disciple of the Temple of War, but his cultivation level was relatively low.

Many thoughts then began to urge them on.

The disciple quickly followed suit and sent a telepathic message.

I know a senior brother named Wu Dongxiao. He's the nephew of senior brothers Wu Douwang and Zhong Danwang. He was transported here from another continent with them and has a very forthright personality. I drank with him before and asked him about this out of curiosity. Senior brother Wu Dongxiao said there was nothing special about it. It's just that senior brothers Zhong Danwang and Wu Douwang grew up together and were initially very close friends who trusted each other. Later, for some reason, Zhong Danwang took the initiative to marry Wu Douwang to save him. As they spent more time together, they discovered they were mutually in love... However, by then, they were already very familiar with how they addressed each other and had no intention of changing it.

Having said this, the disciple offered his own guess.

I think it's because the time Zhong Danwang and Wu Douwang spent together in the beginning was very precious, so they didn't want to deliberately change how they addressed each other.

Many cultivators were stunned upon hearing this, not expecting that the two of them had gotten married directly due to external forces.

However, back then, King Zhongdan actually took the initiative to marry a man in order to save King Wudou. This kind of friendship, which is beyond words, can probably not even be fully described by the bond of life and death...

It was quite touching.

Just as the cultivators were feeling somewhat disheartened, another voice rang out.

[Perhaps it's also possible that Uncle Zhong simply didn't think about changing how he addresses people; he's just used to it...]

The cultivators instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that not far away, Wu Dongxiao, who had just been mentioned, was leaning against a tall and upright young man and quietly joined the group chat.

Oh, it was him.

Then the cultivators carefully considered the transmission they had just heard...

Well.

Perhaps, that's actually possible.

·

After Wu Dongxiao interjected, he turned his attention back to the couple.

Honestly, he was only five or six feet away from his two uncles, which was practically the same as standing right in front of them, yet his two uncles didn't see him at all!

Well...

That's not surprising.

Xuan Bing glanced at Wu Dongxiao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Heal your wounds first."

Wu Dongxiao looked down at his chest.

It was indeed tattered and bloody, and quite unsightly.

The fight was so intense that he was almost out of energy and didn't even have time to react before being ambushed, which led to this mess... Luckily, his senior brother was quick-witted and pulled him back.

Wu Dongxiao had already taken a pill to remove the alien energy, but because of his Uncle Zhong's sudden arrival, the pill's effects had already fully taken effect. He was still eavesdropping and hadn't realized what was happening.

Now, reminded by his senior brother, Wu Dongxiao sat cross-legged on the spot and took another healing pill.

However, Wu Dongxiao couldn't help but glance at the Zhong-Wu couple.

Wow, even his uncle was pinned down by Uncle Zhong.

·

Yes, regardless of what other cultivators thought or felt, Zhong Cai had already noticed when he grabbed Wu Shaogan that his profound energy was completely exhausted—if he hadn't used his movement technique to rush over, perhaps a trace would still have remained.

So, even in this state, his husband Wu still persisted in the fierce battle?

Zhong Cai knew it couldn't be such a coincidence; it couldn't be that when he arrived, Old Wu just happened to have only a sliver of life left... So there was only one possibility.

The spider technique that Lao Wu used earlier was strange.

Perhaps there's some mystery involved that allows Old Wu to automatically recover his Xuan power, or at least some of it?

Zhong Cai immediately pressed Wu Shaogan to the ground and made him sit cross-legged in meditation.

At the same time, he took out a large number of bottles and jars, all of which were extremely potent and top-quality medicines. He stuffed everything that could be used into Wu Shaogan's mouth.

Wu Shaogan offered no resistance whatsoever. He ate whatever Zhong Cai fed him, sat in meditation obediently when told to, and assumed any posture Zhong Cai adjusted for him.

Throughout the entire process, she was completely obedient, keeping her eyes fixed on Zhong Cai without blinking.

Then, Zhong Cai whispered, "I'll show you all I want on the bed later. You should focus on healing your injuries and restoring your Xuan power!"

Wu Shaogan looked at him with tenderness, then nodded, but remained in that position as he began to circulate his internal energy.

Zhong Cai's eyes were filled with heartache.

Not only was his master's Xuan power depleted, but he had also been using such a powerful secret technique for who knows how long. How could it possibly have no side effects? Spider patterns had even appeared on his skin!

How could Lao Wu suffer like this!

Therefore, he still needs to get Lao Wu back to health as soon as possible!

·

This period of interaction was observed by many cultivators.

The disciples of the War God Temple were alright, though they were quite envious. They weren't surprised that Zhong Cai was so protective of Wu Shaogan—after all, those who had formed Daoist couples in their respective factions generally had good relationships, though perhaps not as good as this couple.

But for the disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect, this is completely different.

The battlefield assassin instantly transformed into a "well-behaved child," displaying tenderness from beginning to end. In such a short time, it made them feel as if what they had seen on the battlefield was just an illusion...

In an instant, his thoughts were scattered.

[Uh, what we just saw, could it really have been an illusion?]

They quickly made eye contact and realized it wasn't an illusion.

[Hallucination? What hallucination! It's not like we're all going blind!]

It's still so unbelievable!

[Do Daoist couples from the Spirit Immortal Sect and the War God Palace really trust each other this much? Look at Wu Douwang, who never lets anyone get close to him, yet Zhong Danwang easily manipulates him!]

You don't understand, do you? I don't understand either!

Who can understand this... Who dares to believe it... Who wouldn't rather be lost in a dream...?

Some disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect coveted those top-grade medicines.

[Stop talking about being a good boy or a bad boy! Look at the medicine Zhong Danwang took out! The quality! It's like it's sparkling!]

They're all top-notch, of course they're dazzling!

[If only I were King Wu Dou, I'd want so many top-grade pills too!]

[Am I seeing things? A top-grade Carefree Pill worth 170,000 mid-grade Xuan Stones, a top-grade Nourishing Essence Pill worth 250,000, and a top-grade Yellow Essence Pill worth 280,000...]

[You read that right, there were also many unfamiliar and precious pills, which were casually stuffed into Wu Douwang's mouth!]

Wow, that's so extravagant... I'm tired of saying "I'm envious"!
