Chapter 112 Extra 5 "Alright, you little fool is just a little fool, listen...
When the chaotic energy erupted again at the border between the good and evil worlds, Yao Ning and Chen Qian got married.
Yao Ning was worried and wanted to go and take a look, so he patiently explained to Chen Qian. Although Chen Qian didn't quite understand it, since Yao Ning wanted to go, he naturally had to accompany him.
The two planned to postpone their wedding date and were about to pack their bags when they heard a message from Gu Wuchen saying that several major sects had already arrived and that it was just a meeting of spiritual and demonic energies, not a big deal, so they just packed up.
Where the realms of good and evil meet, the spiritual and demonic energies converge, easily giving rise to chaotic energy. However, that place has always been a forbidden area, and few people have set foot there, so it has always been peaceful.
I don't know why it suddenly attracted attention this time.
But Yao Ning knew that Gu Wuchen was a prudent person, and since he said nothing was wrong, there was no need to worry.
So the wedding was held as scheduled. Not only Boss Chen came that day, but also Gu Wuchen, Chu Liangxiu, Shang Linran and his wife, Song Qingping, Wang Mianzhi and others were all present.
Among these noble-looking monks, Chen Qian didn't know any of them except his uncle.
He loved money by nature, but when he saw the wealthy and powerful people invited by Yao Ning, he was able to control his nature. He was very polite and graceful, which made everyone very suspicious.
In their opinion, Chen Qian was no different from before, except that the look in his eyes looked a little unfamiliar.
Everyone brought valuable gifts. Even some of the magic weapons were beyond Chen Qian's comprehension. However, he remembered what Yao Ning had said to him: these gifts were extremely precious, so the smile on his face became more sincere.
Chu Liangxiu looked at Chen Qian for a while, then took out the photo-retaining bead with an expressionless face.
Wang Mianzhi: "Senior Sister Chu, what are you doing?"
Chu Liangxiu: "I'm going to record his ugly behavior. When his memory returns, this will be the handle."
Wang Mianzhi was shocked: "Why?"
The wedding was completed in a lively manner, the guests dispersed, and Yao Ning and Shen Qian returned to their peaceful life.
After marriage, Chen Qian changed a little. His enthusiasm for money seemed to have shifted to his new bride. She followed her like a shadow, whispering in her ear when no one was around. Even if they had nothing to say, he felt satisfied just by touching her hand.
"Little fool." Yao Ning pushed his head away.
"Humph." Chen Qian was unconvinced, "Your man is smart, not stupid."
"Little fool."
"Don't call me that in front of outsiders." He was clearly blaming her, but he couldn't suppress the curl of his lips. "I'm the head of the family after all. How can I be so shameless?"
"Little fool, little fool, little fool... um..."
He kissed her until she was breathless, but when they separated, his face was red as blood, and even his ears were red.
He looked at her eyes, which had been calm and indifferent from beginning to end, and with a rare flustered look, he asked, "So, do you like the little fool more, or the old me?"
Yao Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's all your fault..."
"No!" Chen Qian interrupted her, getting excited. "I don't remember him, but your sister said he was the son of a noble family. He was rich and famous since childhood, and his reputation spread throughout the nine continents. But I'm just a businessman who loves money. All I plan and calculate all day is a few taels of silver. I don't have his noble status or his noble demeanor. Do I understand your thoughts as well as he does..."
His eyes turned around in panic, and he carefully confirmed again: "Who do you like more, me or him?"
Before Yao Ning could speak, he added, "Don't lie to me."
Yao Ning looked calmly at Chen Qian, who was worried about what he was doing, and wondered in a trance whether he would have grown up to be such an innocent and straightforward young man if Chen Qian had been raised by Chen Ying and had not been forced to shoulder ambitions that did not belong to him from the beginning.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but smiled and asked him, "What about you? Do you prefer the wife or the money?"
Chen Qian's eyes wandered and he scratched his head: "I have been alone since I could remember three years ago. Although my uncle took good care of me, he also had his own things to do.
"I think I've loved money since I opened my eyes. My uncle said it was his fault and I felt guilty about it for a long time. I don't quite understand it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
"Whatever I want, I buy with money, whether it's food, clothing, servants, housekeepers, or even friends. As long as I have money, I can have people around me.
"I like money. Throughout my life, money has brought me countless joys. Just watching the money come in, my heart feels like it's filled with golden warmth."
Having said that, a smile appeared on Shen Qian's face.
"I held on to my money tightly, hoping for more, but also wary of someone plotting to take it away. So, the night we first met, I thought you were a honey trap set up by someone with ill intentions.
"I used to be busy all day, never willing to rest for a moment. After meeting you, I realized that I actually want to relax, to take my eyes off money, and go boating, hiking, and flower viewing with you... Such idleness is not a waste of time. Such fulfilling and happy days are as satisfying as seeing large sums of money come into the account.
"You asked me whether I loved money or you more. I don't know, but the moment I fell in love with you, I felt that as long as I had you, I could give away all my wealth. But if I have mountains of gold and silver but live the rest of my life without you, I think one day, no amount of money will be able to fill the void in my heart..."
Chen Qian said a lot in one breath, scratched his head embarrassedly, and looked at Yao Ning's expression: "I don't think I explained it clearly..."
"I like you more." Yao Ning said to him.
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes wide: "What did you say?"
Yao Ning held his cheeks with both hands, leaned closer, and smiled slightly: "Compared to the past, I like you more now."
Chen Qian suddenly jumped up in joy: "Really? Really? Aning likes me more than that cold and icy Immortal Venerable, right?"
Yao Ning smiled helplessly and said, "Yes."
Shen Qian hugged her tightly and said triumphantly, “I knew it!”
"Um."
"Why, why? Is it because I'm more handsome? Or am I more masculine?" Chen Qian's face was filled with joy. "Or maybe I'm smarter..."
Yao Ning said: "Because you are a little fool."
"What?!!"
"Little fool."
"..." He buried his head in the crook of his neck and rubbed it, whining and complaining for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said aggrievedly, "Okay, you'll be a little fool, it sounds like you're very favored."
Yao Ning touched his head and couldn't help laughing.

A month later, the chaotic energy erupted again and attracted Jiuzhou's attention.
This time the situation seemed so serious that Gu Wuchen had no time to disturb the couple's wedding and asked Yao Ning to stop the chaos energy before it spread again.
The spread of chaotic energy means that the monks will be infected. In the mildest case, they will show signs of being possessed by demons, and in the worst case, they will be assimilated into nothingness. However, the monks will never sit still and wait for death. By then, their minds may be twisted, or they may take the wrong path, and innocent mortals will suffer.
Gu Wuchen asked Yao Ning to step forward, which shows that the situation has become uncontrollable.
Yao Ning knew the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately rushed from Xuan Qing Sect to Zhong Zezhou. At that time, Yao Ning had to return to Xuan Qing Sect for something, and he had been separated from Shen Qian for several days. However, at the critical moment, it was too late to send a message.
When Yao Ning arrived at the junction of good and evil, he unexpectedly found that it was calm and there was no tension of disaster at all.
She did not dare to be careless and carefully explored the area all the way, but she did not find any trace of the chaotic energy erupting.
Abnormal.
Yao Ning summoned Fu Guang and walked step by step into the depths of the forbidden area.
Such a large-scale move stirred up the situation and left the major sects guarding Zhongzezhou helpless, so much so that Gu Wuchen rarely spoke to him.
In a flash, it was cleaned up without a trace.
It's a blatant provocation.
A cold look flashed across Yao Ning's face.
No matter what it is, if you dare to provoke her, you must be prepared to pay the price.
Her eyes turned cold as she walked through the forbidden forest, which had been infected by the chaotic energy for years and had developed a faint spiritual intelligence. She saw two figures in the distance.
Bai Su was facing her, his hands tied behind his back, and a long whip with electric light was lashing his back like tearing through the void.
Yao Ning saw Bai Su's rebellious face with a mocking smile at a glance.
From a distance, the source of chaos in Yao Ning's body could feel the remnants of the chaotic energy around him.
Yao Ning's expression turned cold.
If it was Bai Su, who was lawless and didn't follow the rules, it would be explainable.
Her gaze quickly shifted to the figure with its back to her.
Just now he seemed to be slightly bent over and said something to Bai Su. Now he stood up straight, and his entire figure was reflected in Yao Ning's eyes, which made her stop in her tracks.
That back figure...
Yao Ning's breathing began to tremble.
She was extremely familiar with that back figure.
As long as he stood there, a natural aura emanated from him.
Condescending, indifferent and cold.
The man seemed to have heard the sound as well and slowly turned around.
Yao Ning saw Chen Qian.
She suddenly clenched the hilt of the Fuguang sword and her face turned pale.
It wasn't Chen Qian, the money-grubber from Zhongzezhou. Yao Ning confirmed this fact with just one glance. His eyes were as calm as a deep mountain pool, and his slanting gaze carried a sense of distance that kept people at a distance.
That was the Xuan Qing Sect's Chen Qian, the Chen Qian who was called "Zixiao Daojun" by Jiuzhou Zun.
He was clearly wearing the clothes she had chosen for him not long ago. They were a light cloud white with golden brocade. Unlike the Xuan Qing Sect's attire, they were not as ethereal and otherworldly, but had a touch of worldly warmth.
The clothes actually didn't suit him very well, but Chen Qian wore it neatly, with the belt tied properly and no wrinkles on the front.
Chen Qian looked at Yao Ning quietly, neither explaining when he had recovered his memory nor saying hello.
"I do this..." Bai Su's breathless voice interrupted the two of them, "Just because I want to see you."
Yao Ning looked at Bai Su in astonishment. Bai Su was staring at Yao Ning, but the next second, deep lines appeared between his eyebrows and cold sweat broke out.
The thunder whip made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and mercilessly hit his back, bringing with it a stream of blood. Chen Qian had no expression and did not turn back, staring at Yao Ning intently, but his attack was extremely ruthless.
"Ahem..." Bai Su forced out a cruel laugh, "When beating a dog... you have to look at the owner... right, Your Majesty?"
Chen Qian still looked at Yao Ning, his brows and eyes calm.
Yao Ning calmed down and said, "Leave Bai Su to the Sect Master. The Sect Master will decide how to deal with him."
As soon as she said this, she couldn't help but get nervous.
Chen Qian, who has regained his memory, may not obey her in everything.
Chen Qian did not retract the whip immediately, and looked at Yao Ning without saying a word from beginning to end.
After a long time, he slowly stepped back a few steps.
This means giving in after listening to Yao Ning's words.
Yao Ning breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Gu Wuchen. Soon someone came and took Bai Su away.
Only Yao Ning and Shen Qian were left in the dense forest.
Tall trees stretched out their branches, their canopies blocking out the sun. The forest was cold and dim, isolating all sounds from the outside world. The two felt as if they were at the end of the world.
Chen Qian walked over step by step, and then passed Yao Ning.
Before Yao Ning had time to figure out the complicated feelings in his heart at that moment, he heard his voice behind him.
"go home."
Yao Ning turned around and followed Shen Qian silently.
When Chen Qian said he was going home, he was not going back to Zhongzezhou where they had just gotten married, but to Xuanqing Sect.
In the fairy carriage, flowing clouds flew past the window, the wind blew the gauze curtains, and other than that there was dead silence.
Chen Qian and Yao Ning were sitting in the car. A few days ago, they had endless things to talk about, laughing and joking, talking about everything. Those voices kept repeating in their ears like hallucinations, making the silence here even more deafening.
Chen Qian only recovered his memory, his appearance and figure had not changed at all, but he seemed like a different person from the inside out. Everything that happened yesterday had nothing to do with him. Yao Ning's short happiness also ended quietly without his knowledge.
She was silent, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
The immortal carriage flew over the Golden Crow, and a flock of geese flew away. Chen Qian withdrew his gaze and looked at Yao Ning opposite him.
His voice was indistinguishable from anger or joy. It was clearly the same as before, but with a hint of the coldness that only Taoist Zixiao Chen Qian could possess, like the bright moon between pines.
"Little fool." He seemed to savor these three words and spoke very slowly, "right?"
