These two, naturally, were Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu.
The pair had found this secluded paradise, abandoning all the chaos and clamor, assassins, vendettas... they left it all behind for the ti being, living a life as peaceful as ordinary people's.
Because Qi Xiaoyu was very aware, and so was Chu Mo, that before long, an even greater storm would sweep their way.
Both of them had a communication device with them, and they had seen all the ssages that suddenly erupted. Then, they switched off the devices and ca here.
Chu Mo's cooking skills were not particularly remarkable, but they weren't all too shabby either; having lacked soone to take care of him since childhood, he had learned early on how to fill his stomach. Later, after starting the Gluttonous Pavilion with Xu Erfu, Chu Mo had also picked up a few tricks from the master chefs there.
So, this al was very enjoyable for both of them.
When counting, this turned out to be the first al that Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu had eaten at ho after many years of being in love.
Ho... a common yet grand term, but for these two, it was an extravagant word. They longed to settle down peacefully, to cultivate quietly, to live happily—these desires were almost wishful thinking.
Could everything really be as "serene as a breeze over the hills"?
The answer, of course, was an impossibility.
But both of them yearned too much for such a life.
After the al, Qi Xiaoyu nestled in Chu Mo's arms and whispered, "Your master has appeared; he's been busy dealing with your matters."
"Hmm." Chu Mo nodded. "I never expected my master would be here, nor did I expect... the woman my master has always loved is from the Fu Family."
"Fate plays tricks on us," said Qi Xiaoyu.
"But I believe that my master's wife is definitely on my master's side!" Chu Mo said with conviction.
"Yes, otherwise the Fu Family wouldn't be so furious," Qi Xiaoyu chuckled, then added, "How long do you think it will take for those people to find us?"
Chu Mo pondered montarily before answering, "Less than half a month, I guess?"
"Half a month, huh... that's not much ti at all," Qi Xiaoyu pouted slightly, saying, "Those people are so annoying!"
"Like a swarm of flies," Chu Mo said.
"Right, they are just like a swarm of poisonous flies!" Dark lines twisted in Qi Xiaoyu's eyes again.
"How much longer can you suppress it?" Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu.
"No more than half a year," Qi Xiaoyu sighed lightly. "Can you ascend within half a year?"
"I should be able to!" Chu Mo said. "It's actually very easy for to quickly advance my realm; I've always been deliberately restraining myself, wanting to experience the differences in each stage."
"That's right," Qi Xiaoyu said tenderly. "I hope you can reach even higher realms. You have to protect ."
"I will protect you for a lifeti," Chu Mo stated.
Just then, Chu Mo's communication device chid with the sound of an incoming private ssage.
Chu Mo took out the device and glanced at it; it was a ssage from Liu Yun.
"Chu Mo, I have already contacted the Branch Elixir Sect of Lingdan Hall in the Immortal Realm. I've told them your na, Lin Bai, so soone from the Elixir Sect should be reaching out to you soon. They will provide assistance to you."
Upon reading this ssage, Chu Mo revealed a bitter smile.
Qi Xiaoyu leaned in to take a look, then chuckled, "Is this that woman?"
Chu Mo nodded.
Qi Xiaoyu remarked, "She seems quite concerned about you."
"..." Chu Mo was speechless.
Qi Xiaoyu continued, "In this world of cultivation, having a few soul partners isn't really a big deal..."
Chu Mo's face filled with emotion.
Qi Xiaoyu added, "But I don't like it."
"..."
"Hehe," Qi Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. "I'm just teasing you."
"I know you don't like it," Chu Mo replied softly. "So there's only you."
"Actually..." Qi Xiaoyu pressed her lips together, leaning into Chu Mo's embrace, and spoke softly, "If I hadn't rged with the dark holy artifact, I wouldn't have said sothing like this, but now... I just feel that I should live a bit more for myself. However, I'll handle this Liu Yun matter for you later!"
"Uh..." Chu Mo was taken aback.
Qi Xiaoyu laughed, "I am the legitimate wife, she's just a concubine, either agree or get lost!"
"..." Chu Mo's head filled with black lines.
"So is it a yes or no?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes twisted with black lines as she stared at Chu Mo.
"I... will only marry you..." Chu Mo's words were cut off as Qi Xiaoyu suddenly lifted her head from his chest, and pressed her soft lips against his, silencing everything he was about to say.
After a long while, Qi Xiaoyu pushed Chu Mo away with slightly ragged breathing and blushing cheeks, "So you have that kind of thought too."
"I'm not a wooden man!" Chu Mo reluctantly withdrew his hand from inside Qi Xiaoyu's clothes.
"When we see your master, I'll marry you, okay?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a misty look as she spoke softly, "I want to be your wife, for all eternity! As for other won... they can only be concubines! None shall compete with !"
"What other won..." Chu Mo was sowhat helpless.
"Does Liu Yun count?"
"That was an accident."
"I'm just asking if she counts!"
"She counts as my woman... but between her and , there's a confused ss."
"What confused ss, she beca your woman before , I must marry you before her! When she sees , she'll have to call 'sister'!"
"Alright, alright, you have the final say."
"Hmph, you finally show your true feelings, huh? And you said there was only ?"
"..."
"Just kidding with you! Hehe, shall I dance for you? Ever seen an elf dance?"
"I haven't!"
"An elf will dance for their beloved just once in their lifeti..."
Laughter echoed in front of the lakeside wooden house, under the blue sky and clear waters.
In the distant sky, however, figures were appearing, speeding in this direction.
Qi Xiaoyu and Chu Mo stopped their frolicking and looked towards those flying figures.
Qi Xiaoyu's smile faded, the black lines in her eyes intensifying, and her voice turned suddenly cold, "What happened to the half-month agreent? These people... deserve to die!"
Chu Mo could clearly feel the change in Qi Xiaoyu; the darkness within the holy artifact made her emotions hard to stabilize, and with this kind of incident, her condition... would escalate quickly.
Therefore, deep in Chu Mo's heart, he loathed those pesky individuals to the extre!
If we cannot hide, then I'll wipe you all out!
Chu Mo rose to his feet, his figure disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The next mont, he appeared high in the sky!
Without a word, holding Heaven Slaying, he slashed at one of the approaching cultivators.
That Mahayana peak stage cultivator never expected their target to really be here, much less that without a single word... he would be attacked straight away.
Before he could take any defensive action, the dazzling slash of the blade had already cut him in two from his elixir field!
A Mahayana stage cultivator fell on the spot!
Then, a blue figure appeared beside Chu Mo, but that blue figure was shrouded in countless black qi!
All the black qi was filled with boundless oppressive force.
Qi Xiaoyu shouted angrily, a vast amount of black qi spreading crazily towards those people on the opposite side.
It was like dark clouds rolling in.
