Chapter 1015: Zhuge Ruolan Worn Out

After talking with Zhuge Gui, Zhuge Ruolan pulled Chen Chuyang back to the room and questioned him.

"Husband, is something wrong with my brother's health? That's why he's so eager to leave this world?"

Zhuge Ruolan's intuition was truly accurate; this woman is very perceptive and immediately sensed the problem.

Chen Chuyang blinked: "No, your brother is fine, there's no problem at all."

"Hehe."

Zhuge Ruolan gave Chen Chuyang a mocking smile, arms crossed, and said coldly: "My brother's health is fine; he wouldn't specially seek you out and keep it from me. You all chose to hide it from me—could it really be that my brother's health truly has a problem he can't solve, or that he made a very risky choice, not wanting me to worry?"

"Do you think I wouldn't know if you didn't say anything?"

"Husband, your expression gave you away."

Chen Chuyang smiled helplessly, spread his hands: "Since you've already guessed, why ask me?"

"I promised your brother I wouldn't tell you; it's you who figured it out, not me speaking."

Reiterating this, it's not that he's loose-lipped, but that this woman is overly clever.

No matter how you say it, Zhuge Ruolan is also a Holy Maiden; surviving to this day without some skill is unlikely.

Zhuge Gui underestimated her, still thinking she was the same as before.

"Hmph." Zhuge Ruolan crossed her arms and let out a cold snort: "You're my husband; are you also hiding things from me?"

"Sigh." Chen Chuyang said helplessly: "One of you wants to know, the other wants to hide it—what do you want me to do?"

One side is his wife, whom he cannot offend.

The other side is his brother-in-law, whom he also cannot offend.

Chen Chuyang is very torn.

Zhuge Ruolan showed a smile, quickly linked arms with Chen Chuyang, and said affectionately: "Husband, I don't blame you; I'm just too worried about my brother's health, which is why I'm so anxious. Please don't hold it against me."

"Alright, I forgive you, but..."

"But what?" Zhuge Ruolan asked.

Chen Chuyang leaned close to her ear and whispered two sentences.

Zhuge Ruolan's pupils widened, contracting to a point.

She stared at Chen Chuyang, shaking her head, shaking her head, still shaking her head.

"No, husband, you're too bad, just knowing how to take advantage of me."

"Refusal, a hundred percent refusal."

Chen Chuyang held her hand gently: "Lady, I'm doing this for your own good; I really am torn, stuck between you two, and I truly find it difficult."

Zhuge Ruolan pushed his hand away, annoyed: "Husband, stop pretending; you just want to trample me, yet you don't go trample Shang Hongxue and Shang Hongchen."

Chen Chuyang countered: "How do you know they haven't?"

Zhuge Ruolan's pupils quivered; at this moment, she stared at Chen Chuyang in disbelief.

"Gurgle."

"Have they both done that?"

"What do you say?" Chen Chuyang said with a smiling gaze: "Lady, I've always treated everyone equally, shared the blessings impartially, not favoring any of you individually, so you too should..."

"No, no, absolutely not." Zhuge Ruolan shook her head; she would not do that.

She could not accept it.

"Husband, is there a way to resolve my brother's condition?"

Zhuge Ruolan immediately changed the subject, unable to continue that topic; finally, she felt she would be led by Chen Chuyang and thus give in to him.

No, she cannot do that; moreover, she is incapable of that step.

Chen Chuyang's physical stature—she knows it better than anyone.

How could it possibly be done.

"There is definitely a way, but your brother chose the most dangerous method; I can't persuade him."

Zhuge Ruolan frowned: "That fits my brother's character—rising to meet adversity."

"The Heavenly Ghost Origin merges with his body, becoming one; wanting to fully control it is not easy. With your help, his body is half-human, half-ghost, and he wants to transform into a Heavenly Ghost, becoming a true Heavenly Ghost Origin—how could that be easy?"

"Heavenly Ghosts aren't that easy to control; besides, what my brother commands is only a part of the Heavenly Ghost, not the whole."

"My brother went to Tianwai—is he seeking the Heavenly Ghost's true form?"

Chen Chuyang remained silent, staring intently at Zhuge Ruolan.

Zhuge Ruolan understood, and continued: "It seems I guessed right; my brother truly isn't afraid of death."

"He's only at the True Realm—how dare he think that?"

Truly overestimating himself.

Also truly fearless of death.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "I've advised him, but it's useless."

"Your brother's mind is made up; I can only support him."

Zhuge Gui is an adult, not a child; his own decision cannot be changed by anyone.

Chen Chuyang won't insist on changing others' minds, nor will he stubbornly do so.

This is Zhuge Gui's path; how he chooses is his own affair.

All he can do is support him.

"That's right; once my brother decides on something, no one can change it."

Zhuge Ruolan knows her brother too well; he's still as stubborn as before.

He won't turn back until he hits the south wall.

"Even I cannot change his mind."

"Ah."

Zhuge Ruolan sighed, feeling a headache over her older brother's matter.

Chen Chuyang put his arm around her, bent over, and lifted her up in one motion.

Zhuge Ruolan was frightened, struggled a few times, wanting to get down, but Chen Chuyang would not let her down.

"Madam, since things cannot be changed, we should enjoy ourselves in time, and not let these matters disturb our hearts."

"……" Zhuge Ruolan struggled and said: "Husband, can you let me go?"

"What do you say?" Chen Chuyang, having suffered a loss, would not fall into the same pit twice.

"I won't let you run, Madam; are you trying to run away?"

"No no no."

"Hehehe."

Next, it was Chen Chuyang's time.

Zhuge Ruolan could not possibly run; she had long become his prey.

A duck at the mouth—how could one let it fly away?

The next three days were Zhuge Ruolan's three days of breakdown, bearing it alone, with no one to share.

Finally, she could no longer endure it, and had Chen Chuyang leave the Yin Gui Sect and return to his Longshe Shan.

"Madam, this is killing the donkey after unloading the mill."

"I didn't."

"Madam, tearing down the bridge after crossing the river is not good; you enjoyed it, but as your husband I am still suffering."

"Get lost."

Zhuge Ruolan pushed Chen Chuyang out, not wanting to see this man again.

At least, for a period of time in the future, she did not want to see him.

He truly does not treat himself as a person; when this man goes mad, it is truly life-threatening.

She once again experienced the look Qi Ruohua had at that time, the deeper meaning of those words.

As it turns out, it really can be deadly.

"Madam, treating your husband like this is not good, is it?"

"Husband, please, go back quickly and keep company with your Hongxue and Hongchen sister flowers." Zhuge Ruolan pleaded: "I am truly exhausted; I need to go into seclusion to cultivate; for the next few months, do not look for me."

"Bang."

The door closed.

Chen Chuyang stood at the doorway, embarrassed.
