Free Web NovelChapter 351: Chapter 129: Xiaojing’s Dream Breaks the Dilemma, Wealth Scattered for Freedom
"Junior Sister, it seems like my talent has enhanced! I broke through the Returning to Truth Realm! I’ve broken through! Look, this is Qi!"
"Senior Brother, you... you’ve also gotten stronger?"
"Huh? Junior Sister, could it be..."
"That’s right, ever since recovering from the cold, it seems my talent has greatly improved. Initially, I didn’t dare to speak of it."
As they walked further, he faintly heard similar sounds again.
Basically, everyone who was infected with the cold found it surprising. They recovered from their illness, their cultivation talent strengthened, and their speed of sensing Spiritual Qi accelerated.
But some cultivators who were already above the Returning to Truth Realm had persistent high fevers.
...
Li Xuan returned to his home in Hundred Flowers Town.
The Little Princess was sprawled in a star shape on the couch, looking like "Oh, I’m dead," clearly disoriented from prolonged cold exposure.
Tian Yuan seemed weak, sleep-eyed and wearing a thick cotton jacket and extra thick pants, stewing something in the kitchen.
Two pots, one seemed to be porridge, and the other was chicken soup.
With all three ladies catching cold, they had no appetite; the chicken soup was obviously reserved for him.
Tian Yuan couldn’t be certain he would return today, yet... she quietly kept at it.
If Li Xuan stayed at Sunrise Peak today or spontaneously went somewhere else, he might not have seen this scene.
But... how could one pot of chicken soup satisfy him?
Li Xuan quietly walked in, hugged Tian Yuan’s waist from behind, and said, "Sister Yuan."
Tian Yuan softly responded, then fetched bowls and chopsticks, carefully picking out a piece of chicken leg with skin, brought it to his mouth, and said, "Taste it."
Li Xuan opened his mouth.
Tian Yuan fed him the meat.
Li Xuan chewed, then smiled, "Tasty."
Tian Yuan covered the pot again, "Let it stew for a while longer. This pot is for you. I know you have a big appetite and a pot of soup might not fill you, but have some first."
Ever since learning Li Xuan was a Buddha, Tian Yuan had contemplated many things independently, like "That abbot Jing Miao would prepare offerings for the Buddha daily," deducing her man’s appetite must be extremely large.
Li Xuan held her hand tightly, "Thank you."
Tian Yuan gently said, "With your power, you should find a Dao companion.
Yaoyao is still growing and can’t stay by your side.
Whether it’s Miss Luo or the infatuated Miss Feng, they’re both good choices.
They can help you."
Li Xuan wryly smiled, "Not enough."
Not to mention Luo E, even his adoptive mother couldn’t help him.
In the battles he faces, even if Jin Tianchan were to join, at most he would be able to scratch, and without a safe "output environment," he would quickly be killed by the intense and unpredictable battlefield that changes in an instant.
Luo E, even the adoptive mother... are far from enough.
To truly find a partner, it must at least be someone like Bear Demon, who possesses both "cultivator power" and "demonic power," or a cultivator above the Soldier Lord Realm, or a Tier Four demon.
"Not enough?"
Tian Yuan was slightly surprised; she didn’t fully understand the extent of her man’s power.
Li Xuan picked up his wife gently and said softly, "As I returned, I heard many people talking about recovering from the cold and their cultivation talents getting stronger. I think once Sister Yuan recovers, so will she. If that happens... when Sister Yuan becomes stronger, she’ll accompany me."
Tian Yuan chuckled weakly, entwining his neck, "How could that be?"
The two continued in light banter, exchanging sweet words.
After settling Tian Yuan back on the bed, Li Xuan took over in the kitchen, cooking porridge, preparing bowls, and arranging small dishes, delivering them to the three women, then finished off a pot of chicken soup and tidied up.
The peaceful daily life rendered his mood calm as well.
Even while troubled, he no longer felt the prior agitation.
He meditated indoors for a while and contemplated visiting Purple Mist Peak to check on his children.
In a blink, his children were already eight years old.
Yet, how much time had he spent with them?
Li Xuan felt guilt inside.
He stood, pushed the door, and was about to leave when suddenly his expression changed, seeing a flying sword approaching the horizon.
On the sword were Luo E and Xiaojing.
In an instant, the two landed in the courtyard.
The eight-year-old Xiaojing, as her name suggests, was quiet and gentle, but her eyes revealed a touch of mischievousness.
Senior Sister Luo was dizzy from the cold but managed Sword Control, and upon landing, seeing Li Xuan, she supported her forehead and said, "Junior Brother, your daughter heard you returned and insisted on seeing you.
You father and daughter can chat, I’m... I’m really suffering a headache.
Just send her back to Purple Mist Peak later."
Li Xuan wanted to keep her, but Luo E hurried away.
In the courtyard, Xiaojing looked at Li Xuan and called, "Dad."
Li Xuan walked over, picked up the little girl, and smiled, "From now on Dad will go out less, try to spend more time with you."
Xiaojing let him hold her, batting both hands on his cheeks and kneading them.
Li Xuan allowed her to play.
The little girl pinched for a while, then approached Li Xuan’s ear and said, "Dad, I dreamed of a deity these past days, the deity told me many important things."
Li Xuan: ???
A strange sense of familiarity rushed at him.
Li Xuan said, "What kind of dream?"
The little girl tugged at her dad’s hair, "Let’s talk away from here."
Li Xuan nodded.
He carried Xiaojing walking outside Hundred Flowers Town.
Among the flowers, the fragrance was still fresh.
Xiaojing suddenly said, "Does Dad have a good relationship with the Buddha?"
Li Xuan was stunned, "Why do you ask?"
Xiaojing said, "The deity said if Dad has a good relationship with the Buddha, hurry and advise him to extinguish all the incense.
