414: Chapter 414 The Scent of Other Women

On an aircraft numbered DF-034.

This was the private ride of the Vermilion Bird Empire's Palace Master Yun Shu; in over a decade, it had only been used a few times.

Inside the aircraft's main hall.

"Xiao Weiqing, is this really okay?"

Lou Xiaoxing asked.

Xiao Weiqing said, "What are you referring to?"

"Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master."

Lou Xiaoxing gestured with his eyes in a certain direction.

Not far away.

Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master was chatting and laughing with Tian Zhenzhen. Compared to the uncontrollable smile on Palace Master Yun Shu's face, Tian Zhenzhen appeared somewhat restrained.

"What could possibly be wrong?"

"No, I'm all for you and Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master being a couple, but how did you end up abducting her?"

Xiao Weiqing denied, "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't abduct her. I just casually mentioned it and asked if she wanted to go to Great Xia for a visit."

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes. The choice was hers. If she didn't want to, it's not like I could kidnap her."

"That seems right, I suppose."

That being said, Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master had actually always wanted to follow Xiao Weiqing, but she had been rejected before.

Now that Xiao Weiqing had taken the initiative to invite her, Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master naturally agreed happily. As long as she followed Xiao Weiqing, she would never have to suffer the torment of the Extreme Yin Divine Fire again and could stay away from the Vermilion Bird Palace. She couldn't be happier.

"What about you?"

"Me what?" Lou Xiaoxing asked curiously.

"What about Tian Zhenzhen's daughter?"

"She stayed in Anliang Prefecture."

Xiao Weiqing was surprised. "Anliang Prefecture?"

"Yeah, to inherit the Kang Family." Lou Xiaoxing raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Weiqing nodded, understanding Lou Xiaoxing's meaning. It seemed to be a deliberate arrangement by the Vermilion Bird Empire.

The aircraft entered Great Xia.

The group parted ways.

Lou Xiaoxing took Tian Zhenzhen back to Jingdu Prefecture.

Xiao Weiqing and Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master arrived at Luo Jiang Prefecture City.

"Palace Master, farewell."

"Remember to come find me on the next night of the full moon."

Looking at Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master's exquisite face and her expectant gaze, Xiao Weiqing didn't refuse and nodded.

"Alright."

The two of them parted.

Xiao Weiqing flew toward Luo Jiang Academy.

...

Luo Jiang Academy.

By now, the place was deserted.

Looking down from high above, there were surprisingly few lights.

"Could it be..."

Xiao Weiqing descended rapidly, spreading his Mental Energy. In an instant, more than half of the academy was within his perception.

"What's going on?"

The mere dozens of people present caused Xiao Weiqing's heart to sink, giving him a bad premonition.

"Wait, Sister Yi?"

Xiao Weiqing's figure flickered, and within a few breaths, he appeared at Qian Yi's small courtyard.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Sister Yi."

"Weiqing?"

A voice of pleasant surprise rang out from inside the house, followed by a flash of a light blue afterimage.

A warm body crashed into Xiao Weiqing's embrace. Xiao Weiqing held her tightly, feeling the beauty's hot body.

"You're finally back?"

"Sister Yi, what happened?"

"Where are the people from the academy?"

Seeing Xiao Weiqing's tense expression, Qian Yi burst into laughter.

"They've all moved away. Now only some caretakers are left in the academy. There are no more than one or two hundred teachers and students."

Xiao Weiqing realized, "I see."

Before he left for the Vermilion Bird Empire, the academy had indeed been discussing the issue of relocation.

"Where did they move to?"

Logically, the scale of the entire Luo Jiang Academy was comparable to a small city; it shouldn't have been possible to finish moving in just two months.

"Right next to Luo Jiang Prefecture City, separated only by a wall."

"After you left, Great Xia funded it, and it was built within a month. The place is even larger than the current Luo Jiang Academy."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. No wonder. When he left Luo Jiang Prefecture City earlier, it had seemed a bit different. It turned out it had grown quite a bit, he just hadn't noticed.

"Sister Yi, then why didn't you move?"

"Waiting for someone."

Qian Yi wrapped her arms around Xiao Weiqing's neck.

Touched, Xiao Weiqing asked with a smile in his eyes, "Then who are you waiting for?"

"You could say I'm waiting for a little—"

"Wait!"

Qian Yi's nose twitched, and her expression slowly cooled down.

"You have the scent of another woman on you."

"It's not Wei Lan's."

"Speak!"

"Did you find another woman?"

The originally ambiguous atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Hmph~"

Qian Yi turned around and walked into the house.

Helpless, Xiao Weiqing quickly explained, "Sister Yi, it's not what you think."

The two entered the room.

"Sister Yi, let me explain."

Xiao Weiqing pulled Qian Yi.

"Explain what?"

Qian Yi turned around with a sly smile and pulled Xiao Weiqing down, both of them falling onto the bed.

"If you want to explain, go explain to Wei Lan. I can't be bothered to care..."

"Hmm?"

"You little vixen, see if I don't teach you a lesson."

Immediately.

The temperature in the room rose rapidly.

Not having seen each other for over two months, Qian Yi was at an age of peak desire, and Xiao Weiqing was full of youthful vigor. The two were like dry wood meeting a blazing fire, or a long drought meeting sweet rain.

Once started, there was no stopping.

...

...

The next day.

Early morning.

Xiao Weiqing rose from the gentle embrace.

He walked to the window.

Listening to the birds chirping in the courtyard, his heart was incredibly peaceful, and he thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Yi hugged Xiao Weiqing from behind and asked lazily.

The full softness against his back made Xiao Weiqing's heart race.

Xiao Weiqing turned around, pulled Qian Yi into his arms, and greedily inhaled the fragrance from her hair.

"It's nothing."

"Sister Yi, do you know?"

"Know what?"

"A day's plan starts in the morning. Right now is the perfect time for some exercise."

"Eh?"

Amidst Qian Yi's exclamation, Xiao Weiqing picked her up, threw her onto the bed, and pounced.

...

Afternoon.

In the courtyard.

"Are you really giving the first-grade nirvana stone to me?"

Qian Yi looked at the three black stones. She knew how precious such treasures were.

Even the entire Great Xia might not be able to produce them.

After a few seconds of silence.

Qian Yi shook her head. "Use them yourself. I've only just entered the Seventh Realm; I'm still far from opening the path of the Divine Body."

"That's fine. Perhaps there will be even better ones by then," Xiao Weiqing nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the first-grade nirvana stones disappeared.

"Huh?"

"They disappeared?"

Qian Yi was a bit dazed. When Xiao Weiqing took out the three nirvana stones earlier, she felt something was off. Now that he had put them away again, she realized what it was.

"How did you do that?"

"Take a guess."

Xiao Weiqing smiled.

"How could I possibly guess that?"

Xiao Weiqing didn't keep her in suspense and explained:

"I obtained a star-grade weapon that can be split, combined, and changed at will. I treat the weapon as a sealed box, pack the items inside, and then retract it into my body."

"Similar to a storage space?"

"Pretty much."

"Weiqing, what is the star-grade weapon you just mentioned?"

"A weapon that surpasses a level 9 companion weapon."

Xiao Weiqing then briefly recounted what he had encountered in the No. 9 Civilization Ruins and the information he had learned about universal civilizations.

He also explained the matter involving Palace Master Yun Shu Palace Master along the way.

"So that's how it is?"

"In the vast Universe, our Blue Star has only just been born."

This was the first time Qian Yi had learned of these things, and the impact was quite significant; she couldn't snap out of it for a while.

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Weiqing said, "I'll make a trip to the Temple first."

"Are you really going?"

"Yes. To stabilize the outside, one must first settle the inside."

"Moreover, if the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy doesn't die, I won't be at peace."

Next.

Xiao Weiqing and Qian Yi spent two days of unbridled bliss in the small courtyard before moving to the new Luo Jiang Academy.
