Seeing Jing Zhe reveal his childlike side, Murong Xi smiled slightly.
Jing Zhe's hesitation clearly showed that he cared about her.
That's enough.
She rubbed her face against Jing Zhe's chest, and then thought that a little life might be growing inside her, slowly growing over time, which made her feel extremely content.
When we meet again in the future, he will surely be very happy, right?
But then she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Husband, how badly was the injury from the Soul-Severing Fan?"
Jing Zhe nodded, then shook his head. Murong Xi was somewhat puzzled by this.
Jing Zhe then explained, "If the injuries he sustained were to ordinary people—or even a master at the sixth level of cultivation—they would likely be fatal or crippled, so the injuries must be quite severe. But he is a grandmaster, so I can't say for sure whether the injuries have affected any vital organs. Perhaps the worst-case scenario is that he will recover on his own after returning home and be fully healed."
The realm of a Grandmaster is terrifying. Not only do they possess a strong ability to externalize their internal energy, but their self-healing ability is also astonishing. As long as they are not injured in vital areas, they can heal themselves on their own.
Upon hearing this, Murong Xi frowned.
"He originally wanted the Immortal Transformation Pill, but now he's probably focused all his attention on you. You absolutely must not leave the city for the time being, just in case!"
Murong Xi was somewhat worried, but she continued speaking.
It turns out that the Soul-Severing Fan was famous in the martial arts world not only because of his superb martial arts skills and the fact that he had assassinated many masters, but also because he was like an unkillable cockroach when he was young. If he couldn't kill someone who was more skilled than him the first time, he would do it a second time, a third time, until he killed them, making him impossible to guard against.
Once he achieved mastery, this situation disappeared, because there were few people in the martial arts world whose skill level was higher than his. He also took on disciples, and he rarely took action himself unless he encountered someone or something he valued highly.
After listening, Jing Zhe asked, "You mean, he has apprentices?"
Murong Xi nodded: "It is said that his disciple is also very powerful, but his disciple's whereabouts are even more elusive, and no one has ever seen him - those who have seen him are all dead. Because the reputation of the Soul-Severing Fan is too great, and he is from Southern Qi, he has to follow the rules in his actions and almost never makes a move in the capitals of various countries. This is also the reason why he has been in Jingzhou for many days, but only made a move today."
"But his apprentice is different. His apprentice's methods of killing are like the Soul-Severing Fan of his youth, using any means necessary. Because no one knows him, if he wants to kill someone, he will usually go to the location and observe for a few days first, and then he dares to make his move even in the city..."
At this point, Murong Xi looked at Jing Zhe with self-reproach in her eyes and whispered, "It's all my fault for getting you into such big trouble."
Jing Zhe patted her back and comforted her, "How come you're the one who got me into big trouble? They're the ones who got into trouble! Anyone who tries to touch my woman must die!"
Although Murong Xi was touched after hearing this, he was still a little worried: "Don't be careless. Listen to me and don't leave the city for a while. Although his disciple dares to make a move in the city, his cultivation level should not be stronger than yours. As for the Soul-Severing Fan, even if he recovers from his injuries, he won't dare to make a move in Jingzhou City."
Murong Xi is right. The Soul-Severing Fan is a grandmaster level, and no matter how strong his disciple is, he will not be a grandmaster level, and he certainly cannot be stronger than Jing Zhe.
However, Jing Zhe smiled and pointed at Murong Xi: "Why are you only worried about me and don't you worry about yourself?"
I know martial arts, and I'm quite good at it, but Murong Xi is a woman who can't even kill a chicken, so she's in much more danger!
"What do I have to worry about? Right now, the Soul-Severing Fan is probably only interested in killing you, he doesn't care about me at all. Besides, if he really finds me, it's all for a Transcendent Pill anyway, I'll just give him one!"
Murong Xi said with a smile, not worried at all.
Upon hearing about the Immortal Transformation Pill, Murong Xi quickly searched her clothes, as she always carried such a valuable item with her at all times.
A short while later, Murong Xi took out a small bottle and handed it to Jing Zhe: "Husband, all my Immortal Transformation Pills are in here. You can take them first! We'll try them again tomorrow!"
Jing Zhe nodded, opened it and took a look. These Immortal Transformation Pills were very small, about the size of a pomegranate seed, and had a bright, pinkish-red color. They also had a unique, refreshing fragrance that was extremely tempting.
Jing Zhe held it in his hand, glanced at Murong Xi, and thought to himself what a foolish woman she was, giving him the Immortal Transformation Pill. If she really encountered the Soul-Severing Fan outside, what would she give him?
So, she was just lying to him to put his mind at ease. She was only worried about him; she didn't care about her own safety.
Jing Zhe smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything more about her, because he already had a plan in mind.
...
By this time, it was past Shenshi (3-5 PM), and it had gotten dark outside.
"Should we go back now?"
Murong Xi looked outside and spoke.
"Okay, let's go back."
Jing Zhe also stood up, looking quite pleased with himself.
But Murong Xi did not show shyness like other women.
"..."
Just as Jing Zhe was about to say "Of course," Murong Xi unexpectedly said:
She didn't say anything more, but instead gave Jing Zhe a flirtatious wink, which terrified him.
Fortunately, the special effects of Murong Xi's pills made him feel his internal energy surging and his body undergoing a complete transformation, allowing him to maintain a good condition.
But no matter what, he dared not continue.
Jing Zhe immediately retorted, "But... you know, right?"
Murong Xi pursed her lips: "How about we try again?"
"Well... it's getting dark. If we don't go back soon, my second sister and the others will get suspicious. If they track us down here, won't we be exposed?"
"All right!"
Murong Xi didn't really want to do it again; she just wanted to tease Jing Zhe. Seeing that Jing Zhe was scared, she smiled and didn't say anything more. She got dressed and prepared to go back.
