Lu Sisi looked down at the items in her hands after being reminded by Chen Yan.
The leather coat was wet, stripped off while bathing Chen Yan, and it had been washed clean.
But... the leather was obviously very coarse!
It was clearly handmade... and crudely so.
The most crucial point was, it stank!
It clearly wasn’t leather produced by modern techniques.
And that stick was even stranger.
Lu Sisi had tried it... it was very hard!
With her strength, she couldn’t even bend it.
Not that it couldn’t be broken, but it couldn’t even be bent!
Girls of this age, especially those from the city, generally don’t have much strength—lack of exercise, perhaps.
But nevertheless, a stick not much thicker than a thumb, even if it couldn’t be broken by hand, should at least be bendable and cause so damage.
Yet this stick... was as hard as iron!
Despite the girl using all her might, the stick didn’t budge an inch!
"You rember I had frostbite when I ca back, right?" Chen Yan sighed and said softly, "Now, what month is it? In our Jinling Prefecture, where is there weather that cold?"
Indeed!
Lu Sisi imdiately nodded. Recently, the weather in Jinling Prefecture had ward up, with temperatures reaching twenty degrees.
Next, Chen Yan briefly described how he was suddenly sucked into another world and then captured by a monstrous race and made a slave.
The dangers and miseries of that experience, he glossed over—so as not to cause his girlfriend too much worry.
Even so, Lu Sisi was left dumbfounded listening to it.
"That other world, is it a world of cultivation? Like in novels?"
"Yes, you could say that." Chen Yan nodded.
"Is it... the Domain Realm?"
Chen Yan was taken aback, "You know about the Domain Realm?"
"...Sister Qingyi ntioned it to ." Lu Sisi lowered her head.
This ti, it was Chen Yan who was stunned. He gaped, "Gu Qingyi... Why did she talk to you about these things?"
"Sister Qingyi wanted to teach cultivation," Lu Sisi said ambiguously. "She said in the future, if I were to be with you, you as a cultivator and I a re mortal, perhaps, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to stay by your side for long."
Chen Yan shivered at once, "She taught you cultivation?"
"Yes." But then Lu Sisi sighed, sounding sowhat self-reproaching, "But my aptitude is too poor, I’ve never been able to get started, so... I guess I can’t really cultivate."
However, Lu Sisi did not ntion the cultivation technique "Supre Heaven Repairing Strategy" to Chen Yan.
Because Gu Qingyi had once told Lu Sisi that she could only tell Chen Yan about this set of techniques when the two of them got married.
Lu Sisi really didn’t understand Gu Qingyi’s reasoning... but Gu Qingyi was insistent and made Lu Sisi promise.
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "Whether you can cultivate or not, it doesn’t matter."
He looked at Lu Sisi and suddenly realized, "The other day, you suddenly seed depressed. Was it because you couldn’t cultivate and were blaming yourself?"
"Yes."
Chen Yan sighed, "It’s not important."
"..." Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yan, shaking her head, "Now it’s really not important to talk about this. Let’s talk about your experience this ti... You went to the Domain Realm, then what? Is that place very dangerous? You..."
Suddenly, Lu Sisi’s heart sank, "Such a dangerous place, do you have to go there again? Can you not go there again?"
Chen Yan’s gaze sharpened.
Then, he suddenly laughed and shouted, "This ti, it was an accident that I went to the Domain Realm. I didn’t intend to go. In the future, I sure as hell won’t go to that damn place again!"
Lu Sisi stared into Chen Yan’s eyes, still seemingly uneasy. But seeing Chen Yan’s calm deanor, she looked at him a few more tis and then temporarily believed him.
"Oh, there’s sothing I don’t understand," Chen Yan suddenly rembered, "When I fainted in the training room, how did you manage to carry up to the third floor?"
Lu Sisi’s eyes imdiately took on a strange look upon hearing this.
"It was I who carried you, young master!"
From outside the bedroom door ca a muffled voice.
The door was pushed ajar, and Old Turtle Gui Geng poked half his head in, smiling at Chen Yan, "It was I! This lady couldn’t carry the young master, so I showed myself to help."
Lu Sisi gulped hard, her face flushed red, speaking softly, "Chen Yan, why didn’t you ever tell there was soone else in your house!? You have no idea, when I found you in the basent and tried to drag you out, I couldn’t move you at all.
This person suddenly appeared behind , and it scared the life out of at that ti!"
"I have inford you, miss, that I, Gui Geng, am not human but a Turtle Cultivator from the mountains, valued by the mistress as the House Guardian Beast!"
Gui Geng laughed loudly.
Chen Yan waved his hand, "Leave us!"
"Yes, sir!" Gui Geng chuckled as he withdrew his head and closed the door.
Lu Sisi looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression and whispered, "Has it... always stayed in your house?"
"Yes."
"Is it really not human, but a monster?"
"Yes, it’s an old turtle that has cultivated and achieved enlightennt."
"Then..." Lu Sisi’s face flushed with redness, her eyes evasive, "Then... those few tis I stayed over at your place, at night when we were ho... was it there the whole ti? Didn’t it hear everything?"
Lu Sisi looked like she was about to burst into tears from embarrassnt.
From outside the door ca Gui Geng’s voice through the wooden panel, "Rest assured, master, I, the old turtle, am particularly discreet, and heard absolutely nothing! Not a word, not a sound!"
Chen Yan was so angry his face turned white, exclaiming, "Shut up! Go back to the Spirit Gathering Array and stay there!"
"Understood!"
·
With Chen Yan safely ho, the weight on Lu Sisi’s heart finally lifted. After seven days of anxiety and fear, the girl was actually quite exhausted, unable to eat or sleep well, enduring daily tornt.
