Chapter 277: Return to the Desolate City

Qingcheng?

Hearing this name, the crowd was startled, then immediately revealed looks of realization.

No wonder this woman's combat power was so fierce; it turned out to be Qingcheng, currently ranked third on the Desolate Ranking.

Such top-tier Monster-level figures are always arrogant and confident.

Yet now, she had actually taken the initiative to admit her mistake?

Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li were lost in thought.

Jiang Xuan and Yang Wanxin, however, were utterly astonished, unable to recover for a long time.

"Fairy, being able to distinguish right from wrong and turn back from the wrong path in time, Wang is very gratified."

Wang Jianqiang stepped forward to support Qingcheng's slender shoulders, gently helping her up.

Feeling those powerful palms on her shoulders, Qingcheng's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to break free.

But for some reason, in the blink of an eye, she dismissed this thought and ultimately did not take action.

Noticing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled inwardly, "Fairy's Spiritual Power is exhausted, and now it has only recovered a little. In such a state, walking alone in this Desolate Realm is truly too dangerous, so just follow us and leave first."

"Once Fairy's Spiritual Power is restored, whether to go or stay, Fairy may do as you please."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's gentle words, Qingcheng nodded silently.

A strong sense of self-reproach surged in her heart.

This Wang Jianqiang is truly a kind and upright person.

That she had treated him that way before was truly inexcusable.

And that Ye Lingyun.

She had kindly sought to befriend him, yet he had deceived and used her, nearly causing her to commit a grave error.

If she encounters him again in the future, she must make him suffer an irredeemable fate!

……

Half a month later.

Desolate City.

Before the Desolate Realm Stele.

The space rippled like water.

One figure after another emerged through it.

"Many thanks to all you Daoist Friends."

"You all disregarded past grievances to escort Qingcheng back to the city; this kindness, Qingcheng will keep in her heart."

Qingcheng turned to look at Wang Jianqiang and the others, her face glowing with gratitude.

Her Spiritual Power had been overdrawn too severely, and it took a full ten days to completely recover.

If not for the protection of Wang Jianqiang and the others, she would likely have perished in the Desolate Realm.

Out of gratitude, and also because she admired Wang Jianqiang's magnanimity, with the intention of befriending him.

After recovering, she did not leave alone.

Instead, she followed Wang Jianqiang and the others all the way back to Desolate City.

"Fairy is too polite."

"As the saying goes, we only get to know each other through conflict. If Fairy has time in the future, you can come to Wang's residence to sit for a while; Wang welcomes you at any time."

"This is the location of Wang's residence."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang flicked his finger, and a wisp of Spirit Light merged into the center of Qingcheng's brow.

A moving smile appeared on Qingcheng's face, "Qingcheng will definitely come to pay a visit in the future."

Saying this, she also flicked out a wisp of Spirit Light, which merged into the center of Wang Jianqiang's brow, "This is the location of Qingcheng's residence. If Daoist Friend Wang has time in the future, you can also come to Qingcheng's residence to sit."

After finishing, she nodded to Wang Jianqiang and the others, flew into the air, and left.

"Daoist Friend Wang, Jiang will also take my leave."

After Qingcheng left, Jiang Xuan looked at Wang Jianqiang.

After speaking, she paused, "Daoist Friend once promised Jiang that you could guide Jiang and resolve problems in Jiang's cultivation; does it still count?"

"Naturally, it counts." Wang Jianqiang smiled, "That Wang was able to rescue Lingxi and the others in time was thanks to Daoist Friend Jiang's report. Such kindness cannot be repaid; if Daoist Friend has any difficulties, you can come find Wang at any time."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's promise, a bright light flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes; she nodded with a smile and then left.

After Jiang Xuan left, Yang Wanxin looked at Mu Lingxi and the others, a flash of hesitation appearing on her face.

"Daoist Friend Wang, Wanxin must also go."

Hearing Yang Wanxin's words, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Wanxin Fairy, do not leave. There are no outsiders here, so just come back with us."

"Wang's residence is very spacious, and it is also quite beneficial for cultivation."

"Most importantly, Wang has another alchemy Cultivator there. If you live at my place, not only will it be more convenient to seek Clarification from me, but you can also discuss alchemy with that alchemy Cultivator."

"Presumably, your cultivation speed will increase quite a bit."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Yang Wanxin was immediately tempted.

However, looking at Mu Lingxi and the others, she was a bit thin-skinned and could not bring herself to ask to stay.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyao's expression shifted, and she said with a smile, "Senior Brother is acting out of kindness, so Wanxin Fairy should just stay."

"That's right, living together allows us to look out for one another, and we can urge each other on, which is beneficial for cultivation," Su Yutong followed up immediately.

Mu Lingxi looked at Yang Wanxin with a grin, "What are you shy about? With someone as upright as Senior Brother, are you afraid he'll sneak into your room at night?"

Yang Wanxin's pretty face flushed red, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Wanxin still trusts Daoist Friend Wang's character."

After saying this, she snuck a glance at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang sneak into her room?

All this time... it seems it was always her sneaking into Wang Jianqiang's room.

Thinking of this, her face turned even redder.

Seeing that Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, and Mu Lingxi had all spoken.

Xing Li's gaze flickered, and she advised earnestly, "Wanxin Fairy, I can calculate that your heart does not reject this; since that is the case, what is there to hesitate about?"

Hearing Xing Li's words, Yang Wanxin finally made up her mind.

She nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Since that is the case, let us head back."

After Wang Jianqiang brought everyone back into the Micro World.

Seeing this boundless, vast space, Yang Wanxin could not help but be somewhat dazed.

Is this the treatment for those who obtain a Golden City Entry Mark?

Compared to this, the residence she was assigned is simply an outhouse.

Seeing the look of shock on Yang Wanxin's face, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Yu Yao, go arrange a room for Wanxin Fairy."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Wang Yuyao nodded obediently and looked at Yang Wanxin, "Wanxin Fairy, let's go."

After Wang Yuyao and Yang Wanxin left, Xing Li and Su Yutong greeted Wang Jianqiang and also walked toward their respective rooms.

They had stayed in the Desolate Realm for such a long time, their spirits had remained in a state of tension, and they were already very exhausted, in urgent need of a good rest.

After the two left, Wang Jianqiang suddenly felt his waist tighten.

A faint fragrance drifted from behind him.

He turned his head to look at the figure embracing him from behind and said with a chuckle, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say you were going to turn into an old man for me to see?" Mu Lingxi said with a grin.

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, and said with a half-smile, "Not going to rest?"

"Pfft, dealing with an old guy like you is a piece of cake for this young lady, why would I need to rest?" Mu Lingxi curled her lips.

"Oh ho, your tone is getting more and more arrogant."

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll be riding on your Senior Brother's head."

Wang Jianqiang laughed, picked up Mu Lingxi, and with a flash of his figure, appeared on a high mountain.

"Isn't it simple to ride on your head?"

"Haven't I already ridden on it many times?"

Wang Jianqiang:...
