Free Web NovelChapter 438: 438: And one wife for infinity.
Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Lin Zhaoyue.
She stood quietly before him, her beautiful eyes fixed entirely on his face. A gentle smile rested upon her lips, as though she had been waiting for this exact moment.
The instant their gazes met, her smile brightened.
"Congratulations on your enlightenment, husband."
Fang Yuan looked at her for a moment before a faint smile appeared on his own face.
"Thank you for protecting me."
He meant every word.
They had been in the middle of an invasion when he entered his state of enlightenment. Had it not been for his meticulous and reliable wife, the consequences could have been disastrous.
Even so, Fang Yuan did not become complacent simply because he had gained some understanding of the Dao of Space.
There would always be stronger opponents waiting ahead.
"Come on," Fang Yuan said with a smile. "Let’s go help the children."
His figure blurred.
A moment later, he appeared directly in front of Lin Zhaoyue and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Lin Zhaoyue’s entire body trembled slightly.
Warmth spread through her chest, and her heart immediately began racing.
Without hesitation, she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
An excited smile appeared on her face.
"That won’t be necessary," she whispered happily. "We’ve already won."
Fang Yuan blinked in surprise.
"We won?"
He looked at her in disbelief.
"How long was I out for?"
Lin Zhaoyue showed no intention of releasing him. Instead, she held him even tighter.
"You were unconscious for three days."
Fang Yuan stared at her.
"Three days?"
His expression became increasingly strange.
"And during those three days, you managed to defeat an invading realm?"
His surprise was completely justified.
Conquering an entire realm was not a simple task.
In fact, the only abnormal thing in this situation was Lin Zhaoyue herself.
Still, Fang Yuan had long since learned not to question her too much.
"Alright," he said. "Since we’ve already won, what happens now?"
Lin Zhaoyue immediately became excited.
"Hehe, now comes our grand debut."
A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"That realm was quite unlucky. They even had a Spirit Severing expert."
Fang Yuan’s eyes widened.
"A Spirit Severing expert?"
Ever since comprehending a portion of the Dao of Space, he could already feel his strength had increased dramatically.
Yet even then, the gap between him and a true Spirit Severing expert felt immeasurable.
The fact that they had defeated such an opponent left him stunned.
Slowly, Fang Yuan turned toward Lin Zhaoyue.
A horrifying thought suddenly entered his mind.
Wait... Does this mean she’s stronger than me now?
The thought struck him like lightning.
Of course, he loved Lin Zhaoyue deeply.
However, he absolutely did not enjoy the idea of becoming the weaker partner in their relationship.
Fang Yuan subconsciously swallowed.
Before he could continue that train of thought, Lin Zhaoyue spoke again.
"Husband, it was Fang Lian who defeated the Spirit Severing expert."
A proud smile appeared on her face.
"I taught her well while you were away. Don’t you think I did a good job?"
She looked at him expectantly, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Fang Yuan immediately relaxed.
The mountain crushing his heart vanished in an instant and a smile spread across his face as he gently patted her head.
"Yes, yes. You did wonderfully."
His voice became softer.
"You’re the best wife I could ever ask for."
The smile on Lin Zhaoyue’s face froze.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
A dangerous light appeared in her eyes.
"What exactly do you mean by that?"
Fang Yuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled sweetly.
"What do you mean, ’the best wife’?"
Her grip around his waist tightened.
"Do you have another wife who isn’t the best?"
Lin Zhaoyue’s voice remained gentle.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan knew from experience that her gentle voice was often more dangerous than her angry one.
Fang Yuan looked at her quietly before his hands reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
The dangerous glint in Lin Zhaoyue’s eyes flickered.
"You are overthinking things."
Lin Zhaoyue narrowed her eyes.
"Am I?"
"Yes."
Fang Yuan’s tone remained calm and steady.
"When I say you’re the best wife I could ask for, I mean exactly what I said."
His hand rested gently atop her head.
"It means that even if I were given a thousand choices, I would still choose you."
Lin Zhaoyue’s gaze softened slightly, however, she was not finished.
"And if another woman appeared?"
Fang Yuan immediately understood the real question.
His wife simply happened to express her insecurities.
"If another woman appeared..."
Fang Yuan looked directly into her eyes. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Then she would simply be another woman."
Lin Zhaoyue blinked and Fang Yuan’s voice remained calm.
"You are Lin Zhaoyue, my wife."
His fingers gently squeezed her hand.
"No one else can replace that."
The dangerous aura around Lin Zhaoyue disappeared completely and a faint blush slowly appeared on her face.
Unfortunately, being reassured only caused her possessiveness to flare up even more.
She buried her face against his chest.
"Good."
Her voice was muffled.
"Because if another woman tried to replace me, I would kill her."
Fang Yuan was completely unsurprised, after all, this was Lin Zhaoyue.
Instead of lecturing her, he simply wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.
"That won’t happen."
Lin Zhaoyue looked up.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because nobody can replace you."
The answer came without a pause and Lin Zhaoyue’s heart immediately melted.
The smile on her face returned, a genuine one this time.
She leaned against him happily and closed her eyes.
"Husband."
"Yes?"
"If someone fall in love with you in the future, should I kill her or torture her to give up?"
Fang Yuan calmly stroked her hair.
"Neither."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned.
"Why?"
"Because my heart will always be for you."
Lin Zhaoyue thought about it carefully and then she nodded.
"That is reasonable."
A moment later, she added another sentence.
"But I am still going to torture her."
Fang Yuan simply smiled.
Some battles were not worth fighting, this was clearly one of them.
