Zhen Yuan wondered, barely suppressing the urge to pace outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Shen Xu were sixteen and fifteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn't register this time, they could still register the following year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that would disrupt a lot of their plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Zhen Yuan was at a loss, the door suddenly opened and a beautiful double walked out of the alchemy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"XiaoXu.\" Zhen Yuan happily called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he took a few steps and pulled the person into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In real-time, it was half a month since they saw each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in space-time, they hadn't seen each other for five months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, since their marriage, they had spent more time apart than together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you miss me?\" Shen Xu asked with a teasing smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmm.\" Zhen Yuan didn't deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you too.\" The double said, tightening his arms around his husband's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his mother died in his previous life, Shen Xu lived alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years of being alone, he forgot the feeling of missing someone and the comfort of having someone to come home to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he saw Zhen Yuan after several months of separation. Shen Xu was happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart suddenly felt at ease and his smile came easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I really missed you.' He thought and closed his eyes to enjoy the feeling of reunion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty breaths later, Shen Xu suddenly pinched Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you hungry?\" Zhen Yuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan smiled, pulled away from the hug, held the double's hand, and led him to the sitting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I prepared a lot of food.\" He said, removing more than twenty plates from his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the food on the table, Shen Xu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayuan, thank you.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down and eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the two sat next to each other and began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Shen Xu hadn't eaten for several months, he was famished and didn't talk until he was half full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are these dumplings? They are so tasty.\" He asked, pointing to a plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five-flavour dumplings. I bought them at Dayan restaurant.\" Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I bought a lot. There is enough for several days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu was ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With renewed enthusiasm, he continued eating while Zhen Yuan filled him in on everything that happened when he was in retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying the Shi family is looking for me?\" Shen Xu asked with an indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect Xiao Weimin has something to do with the matter. Anyway, there is a one million spirit stones reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just one million, where is their sincerity?\" Shen Xu snorted and continued to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won't be able to avoid them when we enter the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Shen Xu said and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayuan, other than the body, I have inherited the original owner's grudges and gratitudes. When I came through, several people were beating me and wanted to kill the original owner. I will have to avenge this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will help.\" Zhen Yuan said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Shen Xu didn't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were a Taoist couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, they would share weal and woe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that, there was no need to keep scores or draw lines between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, Shen Xu stopped eating and Zhen Yuan finished his retelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the plates away, the two left the space and appeared in their inn room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, the room was as they had left it and Shen Xu nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This inn is more secure than I expected.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was also surprised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they wanted to live in a better inn but failed to find one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they settled for the medium-sized inn located on the outskirts of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the outskirts were less safe than the inner parts of Dragon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, the two expected to encounter robbery and disturbances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the reality was far better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can stay here again whenever we visit Dragon City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmm.\" Zhen Yuan agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismantling the formation disks Zhen Yuan had previously arranged, the two left the inn and soon arrived outside the City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should have prepared a map.\" Shen Xu suddenly said with an annoyed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geographically, the Divine Rainbow Academy was located in Dragon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn't within but several kilometres away from the city centre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling this, Shen Xu was annoyed that they forgot to prepare a map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have a map.\" Zhen Yuan said and took out a monster skin from his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the skin, Shen Xu smiled and leaned over to study the map with Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mapping the best route to the Divine Rainbow Academy, the two got on their demon horses and galloped away from Dragon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoxu, how was your retreat?\" Zhen Yuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\" Shen Xu chuckled with a happy smile in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will know later.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhen Yuan glanced at the double with a helpless look but didn't insist on getting to the bottom of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shen Xu wanted to surprise him, Zhen Yuan was willing to play along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, the two arrived at the gate of the Divine Rainbow Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a tall gate.\" Shen Xu exclaimed as soon as he saw the ten-metre-tall gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Rainbow Academy was built at the foot of a mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rear, this mountain range was a natural barrier that deterred intruders and monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the remaining three sides of the Academy, a ten-metre tall wall was built and the main gate was the only way in or out of the Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are so many people.\" Shen Xu continued while looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, there were more than one thousand people outside the Academy gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu, most were young and looked particularly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the excitement was mixed with nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Divine Rainbow Academy was the best school in the Divine Rainbow Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one didn't get into the Academy, they would have to settle for second or third-rank academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's line up.\" Zhen Yuan said and jumped down from his demon horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Shen Xu jumped down and both put away their demon horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, they stood at the end of the queue and waited for their turn to register.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, although there was only one queue, there were six registration tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From where they stood, Shen Xu could see the front and eagerly nudged his husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The registration tables correspond to the different schools. I will register at the fourth table and you will be at the second.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Zhen Yuan started but a voice interrupted his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am also registering for the school of weapon refining. My name is Song Wancheng. What's your name?\" The voice asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without their notice, several people had lined up behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the few was the male cultivator named Song Wancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Song Wancheng...' Zhen Yuan thought and a hint of recognition flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From gossip, Song Wancheng was the young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, the person was seventeen and his cultivation was at the peak of the twelfth level of the qi refining realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Shen Xu and this is my Taoist partner, his name is Zhen Yuan.\" Shen Xu introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Shen...\" Song Wancheng started but his eyes widened before he could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the fourth young master of the Shi family?\" He urgently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Xu almost rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he forcibly suppressed his annoyance and smiled at Song Wancheng before he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the fourth young master.\" He acknowledged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are the fourth young master, then he is...the wild man?\" Song Wancheng blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he stared at Zhen Yuan and couldn't help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first saw the two, he subconsciously ignored Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now that he carefully looked at the person, Song Wancheng was confused and surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he couldn't understand why he ignored such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhen Yuan was tall, handsome, and had an unfathomable aura that set him apart from everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other, Song Wancheng vaguely understood his involuntary oversight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he suddenly felt that Zhen Yuan did not belong in the world and his existence was like the Tao; omnipresent but beyond reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a strange feeling.' He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, before he could dwell on it, a voice broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wild man?\" Shen Xu looked at Zhen Yuan and then burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his wife's laughter, Zhen Yuan couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you also have a day when someone describes you as a wild man?\" Shen Xu asked amidst chuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am only willing to be your wild man.\" Zhen Yuan whispered into the double's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard this, Shen Xu trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, his ear felt itchy and a hot flush crept over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously lowered his head to hide his embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you really elope?\" Song Wancheng asked with an incredulous look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything wrong with eloping?\" Shen Xu rolled his eyes and pulled Zhen Yuan forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Interesting.' Song Wancheng thought as he looked at the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he just wanted to make superficial small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he and Shen Xu were registering for the same school and would likely be classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the small talk, Song Wancheng couldn't help but be interested in the two, especially the unfathomable Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's said fellow Daoist Shen is an alchemist. Why do you want to enter the school of weapon refining?\" Song Wancheng asked with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I prefer weapon refining.\" Shen Xu carelessly shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you learn weapon refining since your disappearance three months ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have a weapon refining inheritance so I only know the basics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have inquired and the allocation test isn't difficult. The basics are enough to pass the test.\" Song Wancheng encouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope so.\" Shen Xu said but his brows creased in a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had worked hard over the past few months, his lack of inheritance was a fatal flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the allocation test covered beyond the basics, Shen Xu didn't know if he could pass it. Even if he did, his score may not be enough to attract a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't fret, just do your best.\" Zhen Yuan whispered and Shen Xu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came down to it, there was nothing he could do but try his best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three talked, the queue shortened and they soon reached the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was his turn, Shen Xu walked to the weapon refining table, paid two thousand spirit stones, registered his name, and received a wooden token with the 'qi' character on its front side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he walked behind the table and soon reunited with Zhen Yuan and Song Wancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next stage is the age test followed by the cultivation level test.\" Zhen Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the three were less than twenty and their cultivation was above the seventh level of the qi refining realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much delay, they passed these tests and walked towards the next testing area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the cultivation level test was the spiritual root test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the crystal ball on the table, Shen Xu was not calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he and Zhen Yuan had special cultivation techniques that could disguise their spiritual roots, Shen Xu couldn't help but worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had yet to cultivate the god-level chaos flame technique hence his spiritual root was undisguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Zhen Yuan did not have a spiritual root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone discovered this, he and Zhen Yuan would end up in a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>",2046,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.614Z",1,"novelbin.me","23494f88f43f3bc7e6ab2328f18dca7084172f0e3fac4bd60166c3e5c689d46f","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-37","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-35",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
