342: Shio showing her vulnerable side

Until the very end, as she watched Wang Feng's retreating figure, her heart was filled with a deep sense of shame.

But she still slowly stepped into the water, and ripples spread out from the surface.

Husband... is not an outsider.

Jiang Hanxi silently comforted herself.

Anyway, it wasn't like... she hadn't seen him before.

Hearing the sound behind him, the corners of Wang Feng's handsome lips gradually curved upwards, and he suddenly dove into the water.

Rumble!

As the water made a series of rippling sounds, Jiang Hanxi hurriedly tried to move aside.

Unexpectedly, a pair of hands from underwater wrapped around her waist, and then the figure from beneath the water shot out, shaking off the clear water from his face.

"Wife... Husband... truly loves you so much. Why do you agree to everything Husband asks?"

Wang Feng held Jiang Hanxi's smooth, slender waist, his eyes meeting hers, full of tenderness.

Jiang Hanxi, who had initially felt a bit unnatural being held, paused and quieted down upon hearing Wang Feng's words.

After a moment of silent eye contact with Wang Feng, Jiang Hanxi slowly opened her mouth and said, "I don't... don't know..."

"Perhaps... it's because... I also... like Husband..."

At this moment, for some reason, Jiang Hanxi's heart stirred, and she hugged Wang Feng tightly, her cheek gently resting against his chest.

Every time she hugged Husband... it gave her a profound sense of security.

This feeling of security, she had only experienced it as a child by her mother's side.

But... her mother later left an irreparable wound in her heart.

"Husband..., no matter where you are... in the future, don't leave me, okay...?"

Jiang Hanxi, still embracing Wang Feng, slightly raised her beautiful eyes, gazing at his face, the only one that had given her such peace throughout all these years.

Wang Feng, being held, looked at Jiang Hanxi's eyes, which seemed to bear the pain of being abandoned by her mother, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, he gently embraced Jiang Hanxi's head, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"Absolutely! Husband, no matter what, will absolutely... never abandon Wife..."

Wang Feng felt a pang of heartache for Jiang Hanxi. He had once thought she was a massive iceberg that could never be melted.

Later, he realized that her cold exterior was merely her only way to protect her fragile inner self.

During this bath in the pool, Wang Feng did not make any overly intimate gestures; he merely used a towel to wash her waist and legs, and that was all.

In the following days, Wang Feng took Jiang Hanxi to various places around the city for sightseeing.

Until this day, as Wang Feng was teasing a blushing Jiang Hanxi with words in the inn, there was a commotion from the Saint-Rank Formation outside.

"Wife, you..."

Wang Feng felt the fluctuations from the supreme Saint-Rank Formation, his words trailing off. He then stood up and walked towards the door.

Opening the door and the Saint-Rank Formation, Wang Feng saw Lin Fan standing outside the Saint-Rank Formation, wearing a bamboo hat and waiting.

Wang Feng raised his hand and opened the supreme Saint-Rank Formation. Inns in the Cultivation World allow guests to set up their own Saint-Rank Formations.

So, this was why Wang Feng hadn't been disturbed every time he checked into an inn, because sometimes there were guests the inn couldn't afford to offend.

"Brother Wang, let's go. I've already set up the Continental Teleportation Array."

Seeing Wang Feng emerge, Lin Fan raised his bloodshot eyes from beneath his bamboo hat and spoke in a deep voice.

It seemed that setting up that Continental Teleportation Array had consumed him greatly.

However, these exertions paled in comparison to the indistinct figure in his heart; he urgently wanted to see that figure clearly.

Even he... didn't know why.

"Hmm, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Wang Feng greeted him, then closed the door again and returned to Jiang Hanxi's side.

"Wife, let's go. We're returning to Heavenly Cang."

Wang Feng had Jiang Hanxi take out her white gauze bamboo hat, took it, and gently placed it over her beautiful hair, tying the knot for her.

Finally, he put away the bed and other items, and after confirming everything was in order, he led her out the door.

Lin Fan's bloodshot eyes beneath his bamboo hat swept over the two of them, then he nodded slowly and turned to head out of the inn.

The three traveled for a while, and finally Lin Fan led Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi to a sea area, flying in the sky, seemingly searching for something.

Wang Feng looked at the sea area of the Cultivation World; it was entirely deep black. This was his first time seeing the sea area of cultivation.

He couldn't help but feel a bit more curious. Previously, he had always been within the continent and had never approached the sea area.

The sea areas of the entire world were interconnected, and the deepest parts likely contained countless powerful giant sea beasts of unknown cultivation realms.

"Heaven and Earth, Qiankun, Void Manifestation, Continental Teleportation Array!"

"Appear!"

Lin Fan, at the front, moved his hands, beginning to form hand seals. Finally, the sea area beneath their feet began to stir.

Whole sections of seawater churned, and countless golden runes appeared in the deep black sea, finally combining together.

"Get in! You two, pinpoint your continent!"

Lin Fan shouted anxiously. Seeing this, Wang Feng pulled Jiang Hanxi and flew over hurriedly.

He had already confirmed that it was indeed a teleportation array, and the system had also told him there were no issues, and no insidious tricks were involved.

"I'll do it."

Jiang Hanxi looked at the Continental Teleportation Array on the sea surface, slowly closed her eyes, and infused immortal power into the array with her hands.

In an instant, the entire Saint-Rank Formation began to spin, emitting dazzling golden light, with countless runes flickering.

"Immortal! Immortal power! You two are in the Immortal Realm!!"

"How did you get down here!?"

Lin Fan's bloodshot eyes widened, and he stared at the two with a shocked expression, feeling fortunate that he had not made enemies with them.

"We came down because we wanted to. We came down to handle some matters and to resolve the promise I made to your Huan Tianying. You don't need to ask about anything else."

Wang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, thoroughly putting on a show.

"Hmm, thank you."

Lin Fan clasped his hands and thanked Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi.

"Get ready."

Jiang Hanxi's cold voice came, and the speed of the Continental Teleportation Array's rotation began to increase rapidly.

Finally, with a flash of golden light, whoosh! The figures of the three instantly vanished from above the sea.

Immediately after, the runes of the Continental Teleportation Array also began to rapidly transform into streaks of light and dissipate, leaving no trace.

Just as Wang Feng had left, a figure in a green robe instantly appeared above the sea area where Wang Feng and the others had just been.

"Immortal... Immortal power!"

Luo Tianan looked at this sea area in shock. Could it be that the giant beasts sealed in the deep sea were stirring again?

"No, this is man-made immortal power!"

Luo Tianan carefully sensed it, but in the end, he only felt a very cold icy intent and could discern nothing else.

"Who... exactly was it?"

"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway. Soon, soon, haha, the Ascension Platform's nourishment from the two continents is almost ready."

Luo Tianan cast aside the thoughts in his mind, then couldn't help but let out an evil laugh. It wouldn't be long before he could ascend to immortality.

And this was why Lin Fan chose to set up the Continental Teleportation Array in the sea area.

Clearly, he had also discovered the matter of the Ascension Platform...
