Chapter 260: My wife…… seems a bit different from before

Ji Lingxiao clearly remembered that this jade pendant was given to Lu Yuan back then because of that ore refining tool.

Absolutely no mistake.

But this guy……

What the hell…… how did this come about?!?!?

This place is far from the Great Zhou Dynasty……

At this moment, Ji Lingxiao stared in shock; after coming to his senses, Ji Lingxiao also rose to his feet and immediately shot off toward Lofty Absolute Mountain.

Meanwhile, at Facing Spirit Peak, the crowd looked at each other.

Everyone was dazed for a moment.

This……

……

At the same time, Lu Yuan sat on the summit of Lofty Absolute Mountain, stuffing food into his mouth.

Behind Lu Yuan, there was also a group of people guarding him, two of whom were the ones who had just stopped Lu Yuan.

As for what just happened,

namely, Lu Yuan said Su Liyan was his wife, and that pissed those two off.

They insisted on capturing Lu Yuan no matter what.

With Lu Yuan's short temper, refusing to yield even to death, how could he be caught so easily?!

Those two could do nothing to Lu Yuan, after all, he appeared to be at the Qi Refining stage but was actually a Golden Core cultivator, and not an ordinary Golden Core at that.

Those two simply couldn't subdue Lu Yuan.

However, a commotion here soon drew a group of people up.

Lu Yuan saw the opposing side was numerous and mighty, then…… he simply surrendered.

He took out the jade pendant Ji Lingxiao had given him back then; the leading woman glanced at it, sensed something off, and directly took the pendant to go inquire.

"I'm telling you, you're done; the Eldest Senior Sister hates it when others claim to be her man.

"Saying that in private as a joke among friends is fine, but saying it out loud could land you locked up for seven or eight years!"

One of the two who had previously stopped Lu Yuan, looking at Lu Yuan, said:

Lu Yuan, who was eating, replied with a face full of question marks:

"What…… what do you mean by joking in private with friends??"

"What does that mean?"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, those two explained it to him.

Upon hearing that, Lu Yuan suddenly understood, oh~~~

He knew what it meant.

How to put it, it's like those deadbeat otaku on Earth—you see those otaku constantly calling the producers of their two‑dimensional crushes "wife".

"This wife, that wife, and so on."

Of course, besides paper‑people, there's also the Niigawa wife, the Nishino wife, the Miura wife, and all that nonsense.

Hmm……

In the cultivation world, you can't just call someone "wife"—it's a serious crime.

But……

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"Calling someone 'wife' at random shows a screw loose, but I'm for real.

"Su Liyan really is my wife; we've already had kids together."

The people guarding Lu Yuan around him just shook their heads, speechless.

Everyone thought this guy had gone hysterical.

Speaking of which, when people say this sort of thing in private, they're mostly just joking.

After all, the Eldest Senior Sister is not just about looks.

The Eldest Senior Sister is not only the most beautiful in the world; what matters most is her talent!!

It's downright terrifying!!

Her bone age is under a year, and she's already reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection!!

How terrifying is that!!

Back when everyone was a year old in bone age, who wasn't at the early Qi Refining stage?

As a result, the Eldest Senior Sister is now at Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

Such talent—let alone in the Linglan Sword Sect, even across the whole South Azure Spirit Province, or throughout its entire history, has never been seen before.

The Eldest Senior Sister's appearance and talent are both number one in the world!!

She is practically the goddess all disciples yearn for.

Only a few exceptionally brilliant senior brothers from the sect dare to dream of marrying the Eldest Senior Sister; others don't even dare to dream of it.

However, those several extraordinarily talented senior brothers from the sect, after confessing their feelings to the Eldest Senior Sister, were all met with her extremely cold rejection.

Since then, everyone has merely been indulging in idle talk, or rather, just joking among friends.

No one would actually bring it up openly and say, "how about this, how about that."

But this guy named Lu Yuan before us is simply poisoned too deep.

Those guarding Lu Yuan all think this guy really has something wrong with his head.

But, also.

Given how perfect the Eldest Senior Sister is, it's not hard to understand that someone would go berserk for her.

And the two who had stopped Lu Yuan earlier, after speaking, again sized him up from head to toe, then suddenly asked curiously:

"By the way, you guy... what exactly is your strength?"

This is clearly just a Qi Refining cultivator, yet just now he fought on par with two Golden Core cultivators, and for a moment the two could not completely subdue Lu Yuan.

If it weren't for the Enforcement Squad arriving later, the two really couldn't do anything to Lu Yuan.

Even more so... the two felt... Lu Yuan hadn't gone all out yet; if he did, they'd probably... be no match for him.

But the problem is...

Lu Yuan, this guy... is clearly just at the Qi Refining stage.

If Lu Yuan were a cultivator of a higher realm, the two, with their low cultivation, being unable to gauge his true strength would be understandable.

The main point is, when Lu Yuan fights, his spiritual power is fully unleashed, yet that is only the spiritual power fluctuation of a Qi Refining cultivator.

This left the two utterly baffled.

As for the two's words, Lu Yuan blinked, then gave a grin without speaking.

Just as the two were about to press further,

A figure appeared in the distant sky, arriving extremely quickly.

One second it was still on the horizon, the next it was right before everyone's eyes.

The person who arrived wasn't Senior Sister Su Liyan—who else could it be?

At this moment, upon seeing his wife, Lu Yuan also put away what he was holding, stood up, wiped his mouth, and was about to smile and say something.

The next second, amid everyone's stunned gazes, Su Liyan directly fell and flung herself into Lu Yuan's arms.

That exquisite mature face, coveted by the entire Linglan Sword Sect, was buried straight into Lu Yuan's neck.

At this moment, Su Liyan spoke with a sobbing, coquettish tone:

"Brother~~"

Lu Yuan grinned hehe, holding Su Liyan in his arms, while rubbing his long-missed wife and smiling as he said:

"Why are you crying? Have you been doing alright here?"

At this moment, Su Liyan emerged from her husband's embrace, her eyes reddened, gazing at Lu Yuan with eyes full of love yet aggrieved, and said:

"Not good... without Brother here..."

Those around seeing this scene were all completely dumbfounded.

Is this the Senior Sister??

Is the Senior Sister really like this??

In the Linglan Sword Sect, aside from the Sect Leader and Sun Hanhua, the closest relationship is probably that between the Enforcement Squad and Su Liyan.

Mainly, the Sect Leader gave the Enforcement Squad to Su Liyan.

So Su Liyan can now be considered in charge of the Enforcement Squad, and all matters of the Enforcement Squad are now decided by Su Liyan.

Whether it's daily affairs or important sect matters, the Enforcement Squad members often meet with Su Liyan.

And the appearance of this Senior Sister before them truly left the Enforcement Squad members with faces full of question marks.

Never mind that the Senior Sister has been growing colder lately; even when she first had a gentle disposition, she was never like this!!

Even before, when the Senior Sister had a gentle temperament, she still bore the appearance of a mature woman.

But it was just her gentle nature, like that of the Sect Leader.

But she had never been like this before.

Where is the Senior Sister's former mature womanly demeanor now? This is practically a little woman acting cute to beg a man for affection!!

Everyone felt they didn't recognize this Senior Sister who was acting cute right before them.

Lu Yuan laughed while rubbing and comforting Su Liyan, but before he could say more, another figure descended before them.

It was Sun Hanhua.

Of course, Lu Yuan did not know Sun Hanhua; the system would not display the other's name.

However...

A gleaming golden five-star suddenly appeared before Lu Yuan.

A complete stranger being a five-star, and Lu Yuan not being a fool, naturally guessed it right away.

This woman must be Sun Hanhua, who had been rapidly gaining stars lately, and the system gave him a reward.

Seeing this woman whose appearance and temperament were completely opposite to his wife's, Lu Yuan felt a bit dazed.

Why would this woman give him a five-star?

Before this, the two had absolutely no acquaintance.

And while Lu Yuan curiously sized up Sun Hanhua, Sun Hanhua was also curiously looking at Lu Yuan.

Those clear, flowing almond eyes were scanning Lu Yuan up and down, filled with curiosity.

Gazing at Su Liyan tightly embracing Lu Yuan, her face full of cute pleas for affection, Sun Hanhua's lovely eyes blinked.

Su Liyan in such a state was something Sun Hanhua had never seen before.

At the same time, another figure appeared on the horizon—who else could it be but Ji Lingxiao?

However, Ji Lingxiao did not descend like the two disciples; instead, he hovered in midair, his face full of disbelief as he gazed down at Lu Yuan.

It really is Lu Yuan……

And when Lu Yuan lifted his head and saw Ji Lingxiao, he immediately smiled and greeted:

"Master, you've become even more beautiful."

This really needs to be said properly… later… Lu Yuan will have to reach out and ask Ji Lingxiao for something!!

If you don't speak nicely, how will you be able to ask for things later?

Ji Lingxiao didn't know what mischief Lu Yuan was up to; after regaining his composure, he looked down at Lu Yuan with a face full of disbelief and said:

You… how did you come here?

After Ji Lingxiao finished speaking, before Lu Yuan could say anything, Su Liyan in his arms immediately turned her head, looking at Ji Lingxiao with some pride, and said:

Master, it's an airplane~

After saying that, Su Liyan hurriedly turned her head to look at her man and said in a coquettish voice:

Bro~ isn't it~

The idea of such a thing as an airplane, Lu Yuan had mentioned it to Su Liyan several times before; Su Liyan knowing this is also normal.

Just seeing his wife's cute, proud look of having guessed correctly, Lu Yuan couldn't help but indulge her, hugging his wife and laughing:

Yes~

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Su Liyan immediately said in a coquettish voice:

What does that airplane look like, bro? Bring it out~

Lu Yuan didn't waste words; he immediately took out the airplane from his storage space and had it hover in midair.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan put his arms around his wife, grinning and hehe-ing:

Come on, bro, I'll take you for a flight.

After saying that, Lu Yuan wrapped his arms around his wife, got into the airplane, started it up, and then shot off toward the Linglan Sword Sect.

Leaving only the crowd staring at each other.

The enforcement team members looked blankly at the direction the two disappeared, their faces full of question marks.

That just now really was the senior sister……

Right?

This is completely different from usual……

Not to mention that cute and charming look, just that soft, coquettish movement and sound were something no one had ever heard before……

Ji Lingxiao watched the direction his precious disciple disappeared, involuntarily shaking his head helplessly.

As soon as Lu Yuan arrived, his precious disciple's eyes could hold no one else.

Hmm…… there's one thing Ji Lingxiao can be sure of: the Green Lotus has greatly influenced his precious disciple, who has indeed become lovestruck.

But…… he hasn't completely forgotten.

At the very least, his feelings for Lu Yuan are no different from before.

Ji Lingxiao really couldn't understand; he had thought…… that his precious disciple liked Lu Yuan so much purely because he hadn't seen the world.

But looking at it now, that's not the case.

The Linglan Sword Sect has many outstanding male disciples, but in his precious disciple's eyes, they probably don't even measure up to a single hair of her man.

Han Hua, let's go back.

After Ji Lingxiao came to his senses, he looked toward Sun Hanhua, who stood there dazed, and said:

Ji Lingxiao actually still appreciates Lu Yuan quite a bit.

Even from the bottom of his heart, he still likes this young man quite a bit; of course, this is the kind of fondness an elder has for a junior.

As for the ore refining equipment, not mentioning it; since retrieving it, the Linglan Sword Sect has risen to another level.

Also, this time's airplane—although Ji Lingxiao currently still doesn't quite understand what it is.

But this guy, at the Qi Refining Realm, actually managed to conjure up such an impressive thing; it truly fills people with respect.

Now that Lu Yuan has come, Ji Lingxiao won't disturb his reunion with his precious disciple.

At this moment, Lu Yuan held his wife as they sat in the airplane's cockpit, one hand controlling the plane while he explained to his wife the function of each button inside.

Hearing this, Su Liyan's eyes literally sparkled with little stars; she truly adored her man to death.

Su Liyan leaned into her man's embrace, gazing at him and said admiringly:

Bro, how did you come up with this? How are you so smart?

If it were me, I really couldn't think of anything at all~

Hearing his wife's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing proudly.

Your man has always been this smart, you didn't know?

Su Liyan's exquisite face buried in her man's neck, rubbing back and forth as she acted coquettishly:

Of course I know, little sis has always known~

Lu Yuan grinned, and before he could say anything, he suddenly felt countless streams of divine sense sweeping over him.

You know, Lu Yuan is a supreme refining master; this divine sense is incredibly powerful.

The perception was very clear.

Soon, Lu Yuan's outward spread of divine sense also knew who was spying on him.

Those spying on Lu Yuan were not outsiders, but precisely the people from Chao Ling Peak.

Lu Yuan felt that this group of people had the appearance of ordinary mortals in their twenties or thirties, and he blinked.

In the Cultivation Realm, you can't judge by looks or age to determine someone's strength or bone age.

Like in the martial arts novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long, where a white-haired old man is a master, but in the Cultivation Realm that doesn't apply at all.

Even more so, in the Cultivation World, the whiter one's hair, the more it indicates poor aptitude.

A cultivator's age changes with the years, but a cultivator's appearance also changes again as their strength increases.

For a simple example:

A cultivator who is 200 years old, if he is at the lowest Qi Refining Realm, then at that realm his 200 years would make him a white-haired old man.

If he cannot break through to Foundation Establishment before his lifespan ends, he will die of old age.

But if he breaks through to Foundation Establishment at 200 years old, his appearance will instantly shift from a white-haired old man to that of a youth or middle-aged person.

So saying, the fact that these people below look so young shows they are the elite of the elite, truly formidable.

When Lu Yuan curiously used his spiritual sense to probe these people.

Su Liyan in Lu Yuan's arms also sensed that the people below were using their spiritual sense to warily eye her man.

After a brief pause, Su Liyan rose from her man's embrace and darted out of the cockpit.

Hovering in midair, Su Liyan looked down at the crowd and angrily rebuked with a cold face:

"Didn't your master teach you any manners?!"

"Didn't the Linglan Sword Sect teach you any manners?!"

"If you dare to recklessly probe with your spiritual sense again, get lost and face the wall at Bitter Sea Cliff for three years!"

Su Liyan's cold, angry rebuke echoed between heaven and earth.

Lu Yuan, sitting in the cockpit, looked at Su Liyan hovering in midair, and found her current appearance a bit dazed.

His wife… seemed a bit different from before…
