Chapter 455: Delicious

Hearing Su Cloud Sect Master's gentle yet faintly trembling voice, Xu Que froze.

What... what is this? How did happiness arrive so quickly? Could there really be someone offering themselves voluntarily?

This King of Acting Cool has roamed the arena of love for so many years, yet this is the first time I've encountered such a thing; what should I do? Waiting online, very urgent... No, damn it, I can't wait for this! This must be a test, a conspiracy; how could someone as upright as me, unmoved even by a beauty in my lap, possibly fall for such a trick and do such a thing?

Xu Que's tiger-like body immediately shuddered.

"I knew you would leave, but I feared I couldn't wait for you; I feared that by the time you returned, everything would have changed!" Su Cloud Sect Master whispered softly.

In truth, had the incident at the Heavenly Martial Sect not occurred, she might not yet have possessed enough courage to make such a decision.

But today's events made her realize one thing: time waits for no one.

Once Xu Que leaves, it will be for a long time, no longer a simple year or two; she feared she could not wait that long, feared that when Xu Que returned, she would already be old and faded, or perhaps meet with misfortune.

In this blood-soaked Cultivation World where the strong devour the weak, all futures are unpredictable.

Therefore, without hesitation, she made such a bold move, throwing herself into Xu Que's embrace.

Xu Que remained stunned for quite a while before finally coming to his senses, offering a gentle smile.

"I will return, and nothing will change! Even if it does change, I will force it to change back!"

If I desire something to exist, Heaven cannot deny it; if I desire something to vanish, Heaven cannot preserve it!

This was Xu Que's ambition and obsession; he left a promise with utmost seriousness and sincerity.

When the sun rose again, Su Cloud Sect Master awakened; the familiar scent of Xu Que still lingered by the bed, yet he was gone. Everything truly seemed like a dream, vanishing without a trace upon waking, yet she did not regret it. Why care about lasting forever? As long as we once possessed each other, that was already enough.

Thinking thus, a smile and a blush inevitably appeared on Su Cloud Sect Master's face.

Yet just then, a voice drifted in from far outside the house.

"Mantis shrimp, let's go! Mantis shrimp, let's come back!"

"Damn it, kid, don't go too far; dragging this Divine Venerable out at dawn to do hard labor—do you know how precious my status is? Setting up a formation is such a trivial matter... Ow, don't hit, don't hit, it hurts!"

Hearing these two voices, Su Cloud Sect Master felt a surge of joy.

Xu Que hadn't left after all; he was outside setting up a formation!

She hurriedly got up, but...

Meanwhile, Xu Que was leading Er Gouzi, darting around the Imperial Physician Sect, searching for suitable locations to place the Formation Eyes.

After all, this formation, bought for over three thousand Acting Cool Points, was extremely powerful; even experts at the Infant Transformation Stage or even the Body Integration Stage would be unable to break it, so the difficulty of its arrangement had increased considerably.

Fortunately, Xu Que himself possessed the identity of an Array Master; within just two hours, he finally completed the formation's arrangement, leaving a Top-grade Spirit Stone at each Formation Eye to continuously supply Spiritual Power to the formation, enveloping the entire Imperial Physician Sect and ensuring its survival for hundreds of years!

Many Imperial Physician Sect disciples, gazing upon this majestic Formation Barrier, were all deeply moved and greatly excited.

"Creak!"

At this moment, Su Cloud Sect Master had just finished dressing; pushing open the room door to step out, she suddenly froze.

Xu Que, having finished arranging the formation, had already appeared at her doorway, holding a bowl of freshly cooked hot porridge, walking over with a beaming smile.

"Awake? Drink some porridge quickly; it's good for your health!" Xu Que said with a laugh.

Su Cloud Sect Master's heart instantly warmed; taking the bowl, she took a small sip. That fresh, sweet taste felt like the rich flavor of happiness, wrapping her completely.

"Delicious!" she said with a sweet smile.

Xu Que also laughed: "If it's delicious, drink more!"

"Okay!"
