Chapter 884 Temporary Settlement (The Alluring Prince)...

Lovers are always selfish.

Li Qingran's feelings were just like that; regardless of personal feelings, there was an unyielding deep affection.

Chen Huai'an looked into his little apprentice's eyes, which were filled with longing and pleading, and his heart softened.

He smiled, a smile containing both doting affection and a hint of barely perceptible bitterness.

"Okay." He nodded, stroked Li Qingran's little head, and said silently, "I promise you, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay with you."

Li Qingran's eyes shone brightly, like fireflies suddenly bursting forth in the long night.

She nestled against Chen Huai'an's chest, laughing through her tears, "I knew it, my husband treats Qingran the best~"

Li Qingran genuinely believed that as long as Chen Huai'an stayed in the Canglan Realm or the Cangyun Realm, as long as he stayed by her side, he would be safe and sound, and his life would be secure.

Even if that upper corpse comes knocking, Chen Huai'an could easily defeat one upper corpse with the power of two corpses.

That's good, so she can grow old with her master and live a life of happiness together.

But she can't see it.

What heavy gloom lies hidden behind Chen Huai'an's gentle smile?

hide?

There's no escaping it.

The fusion of the Cangyun Realm and Earth is an inevitable trend. As a subordinate plane of the Cangyun Realm, the Canglan Realm will sooner or later be drawn into that giant vortex.

More importantly...

The corpse.

Of the three corpses, the middle corpse is rational and greedy, while the upper corpse is... the most arrogant and the strongest.

Now that the corpse has disappeared, the balance has been broken.

Who knows when the upper corpse will notice the disappearance of the middle corpse?

Chen Huai'an could hardly forget that the Zhongshi and Cangyun Realm's Daoists were in cahoots, practically inseparable.

He speculated that when Zhongshi was still a system, he had a cooperative relationship with Cangyun Realm Dao, but it was hard to say what role Zhongshi played in it.

He now knows that the Supreme Corpse resides in the Immortal Realm of Cangyun, high above all, and is the true ruler.

Could the path of Cangyun be just a dog at the feet of the corpse?

If that's the case, then once the corpse finds it, it won't be a fusion.

That is devouring.

But since this path to survival in the Canglan world was obtained through the sacrifice of the Zhongshi, it is definitely not a dead end.

Chen Huai'an took a deep breath, suppressing all his worries.

He pointed to Li Qingran's forehead, then to himself, making a "go in" gesture.

"Now that I am in the body of a fighting spirit, it is best not to stay outside for too long. You are still developing your power in the Canglan Realm, and it is not a good thing to be too conspicuous."

"Mmm!" Li Qingran nodded obediently.

Indeed, it's a bit too flashy.

Especially when the team members saw their master's face, their eyes were practically glued to him.

This won't do.

Releasing the Fighting Spirit will continuously consume Fighting Power.

For example, the Plain String Sword is like this.

However, her master's presence did not deplete her fighting power, so her master's presence must have been a drain on her own power.

Now that Master has just encountered a battle, it would be best to let Master rest well.

She closed her eyes, trying to sense the contractual connection that belonged to the "fighting spirit".

A thought crossed my mind.

"receive!"

Swoosh—

There was no hindrance whatsoever.

Chen Huai'an's figure transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing between Li Qingran's eyebrows.

…

Deep within Li Qingran's consciousness.

It's no longer pitch black; it's now a warm, pink-themed space.

That was the lake of a young girl's heart.

Chen Huai'an's figure re-formed here.

It feels...very strange.

It's like being enveloped in warm water, or returning to the womb.

The air was filled with Li Qingran's presence, an aura of absolute trust and acceptance.

"Master~"

Li Qingran's voice echoed in the space, carrying a hint of shyness and playfulness.

"So, are you satisfied with 'the inside'?"

"Is it comfortable inside my body?"

Chen Huai'an: "..."

His face flushed red.

This girl's words have a hidden meaning.

Through Li Qingran's perspective, he saw the outside world.

Seeing her rosy cheeks and the sly smile in her eyes.

"Cough cough."

He coughed twice in the Soul Fighting Space, feigning seriousness.

"It's acceptable."

"The place is spacious and well-lit, but..."

"What is it?" Li Qingran asked nervously, "Is there any furniture you need? I'll make sure you eat well in the future to help you recover?"

"...It's just a bit noisy."

Chen Huai'an smiled helplessly, "It's all your heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, like thunder."

"Oh dear! Master!"

Li Qingran gave a coquettish laugh, her face turning even redder.

"That's because they're excited to see you!"

The two exchanged a few sweet nothings.

After confirming that Chen Huai'an was safe and sound inside, and could even follow him around like a shadow, Li Qingran finally felt relieved.

She pulled back the curtain with satisfaction to deal with her teammates who were still in shock.

Chen Huai'an.

After a brief moment of tenderness, his expression instantly returned to seriousness.

He sat cross-legged in that warm space and closed his eyes.

Now that we've settled down...

So, it's time to see what kind of comeback capital the Chinese army has left him.

Consciousness is deep within.

The ordinary gourd and flying sword were quietly suspended within his soul.

"Old man..."

Chen Huai'an muttered to himself.

"Let me see what you're really up to!"

…
