Chapter 637 Follow-up
Xie Chang'an's "storytelling" lasted all night.
The two sat on the Listening to the Rain Pavilion, the pavilion slowly rotating, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding beautiful scenery.
Jiang Li ate spirit fruits and pastries, drank fine wine and listened to her own "legend" with great interest until dawn. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, covered her mouth, and let out a delicate yawn.
Xie Chang'an asked softly, "Are you sleepy? Go back to your room and rest."
Jiang Li rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay."
She was still young, and True Lord Mingxuan said that she was still growing and needed plenty of sleep. So when Jiang Li was on Baohua Peak, she worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, just like ordinary people. She hadn't slept all night, so she was naturally very tired.
Seeing that she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, Xie Chang'an picked her up and lightly flew down from Tingyu Tower, heading straight for the main courtyard.
Jiang Li was held in his arms, pressed against his firm chest, and felt very shy. But thinking that the two of them were already Daoist partners, she obediently nestled in his arms and did not move.
Xie Chang'an looked down at her flushed face and slightly stiff body, feeling overjoyed. His little fox was finally starting to accept him!
The main bedroom was also decorated very festively, exactly the same as when they got married.
Jiang Li looked at the bridal chamber with its dragon and phoenix candles lit, and the wedding bed covered with a bright red mandarin duck quilt, and her face turned even redder.
Xie Chang'an gently placed her on the wedding bed. Jiang Li sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her ears burning red.
Xie Chang'an looked at her blushing face, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he said softly, "You rest, I'll go out and see if the banquet is over."
He added, "There's a hot spring in the courtyard. If you're tired, you can soak in it and relax."
"Okay," Jiang Li replied softly.
Xie Chang'an suppressed the urge to kiss her, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Seeing him leave, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, patted her burning face, lifted the bright red quilt, and lay down on the bed fully clothed.
The bedding was as soft as clouds, exuding a faint fragrance that inexplicably calmed her down. Jiang Li unconsciously relaxed and soon fell into a sweet sleep.
Xie Chang'an walked to the front yard, where the Taixu Sword Spirit suddenly appeared from some corner, grinning mischievously: "Chonghua, why are you out here? Aren't you going to your wedding night?"
Xie Chang'an glanced at him sideways: "Don't ask about what is improper."
Taixu laughed heartily, "On your wedding night, you spent the whole night telling stories on the island in the middle of the lake. What a groom you are, tsk tsk tsk."
Xie Chang'an said seriously, "She's young and easily embarrassed. You mustn't say such frivolous things in front of her, otherwise..."
Seeing the threat in his eyes, Taixu quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I promise I won't say it in front of her!"
Upon leaving the cave, Xie Chang'an transformed into a streak of sword light and sped towards Tianjian Peak.
In the main hall of Tianjian Peak, the Purple Sun Sword Master was also feasting with True Lord Mingxuan and True Lord Qingyuan.
Upon seeing Xie Chang'an enter, the Purple Sun Sword Master laughed and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you with your little Daoist companion?"
Xie Chang'an's face flushed slightly: "She's still young, and she's been tired all day, so she's resting now."
Seeing how considerate he was to Jiang Li, Mingxuan Zhenjun felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
The Purple Sun Sword Master said, "Perfect timing, tell us in detail what happened yesterday."
Xie Chang'an then recounted in detail how the demon race set up the Spirit-Locking Maze, how they divided and surrounded them, and how the Demon Emperor took the opportunity to abduct Jiang Li.
"At that time, I asked Taixu to guard Junior Sister Jiang. If the Demon Emperor attacked, Taixu would take her into the void and send her back to the Beast Taming Sect."
Both Mingxuan Zhenjun and Qingyuan Zhenjun nodded: "That's very good."
They had long heard of Chonghua Zhenjun's natal sword, Taixu, which was said to be forged from meteorite iron from the Taixu Secret Realm and possessed the ability to tear through space.
When Master Chonghua achieves mastery of swordsmanship in the future, he will be able to draw upon the power of the Great Void to banish his opponents to the endless void.
The endless void is different from a small space; it is elusive, ever-changing, and unpredictable. Even a powerful demon at the Nascent Soul stage cannot track its movements.
Once the Taixu Sword Spirit brings Jiang Li into the void, even if the Demon Emperor can tear the sky apart, he can only glimpse a corner of the void. There is no direction, no boundary, and even time is frozen there, let alone tracking their traces from the void.
Xie Chang'an laughed and said, "Before Taixu could make a move, Junior Sister Jiang disappeared."
The Purple Sun Sword Master asked in surprise, "Where did the little girl go?"
Mingxuan Zhenjun looked smug: "Does the Venerable One not know? That little green dragon comes with its own dragon palace. My disciple has formed a life contract with it, so the dragon palace is like her personal abode. It can usually be kept in her sea of consciousness."
The Purple Sun Sword Master was taken aback: "Dragon Palace? That dragon actually has a Dragon Palace?"
Xie Chang'an explained, "Ao Ming is the youngest son of the East Sea Dragon King in that small world. When the dragon race faced extinction, the Dragon King passed the Dragon Palace to Ao Ming. In other words, he inherited the position of East Sea Dragon King and was bound to the Dragon Palace when he was still an egg."
“Junior Sister Jiang has formed a life-bound contract with him, so she can naturally enter and leave the Dragon Palace freely.”
The Purple Sun Sword Master's face lit up with joy: "This little girl is indeed blessed!"
He looked at his beloved disciple with admiration, thinking that Chonghua was indeed blessed!
Mingxuan Zhenjun frowned slightly: "Lili entered the Dragon Palace? Didn't the Demon Emperor notice?"
The young dragon's cultivation is still shallow, and even though the Dragon Palace is hidden in Jiang Li's sea of consciousness, it will inevitably not escape the Demon Emperor's divine sense.
Xie Chang'an said, "According to Taixu, the Demon Emperor not only sensed the spatial fluctuations, but the Demon King also discovered his action of tearing the void."
"Just as the Demon Emperor broke through space and tried to capture Junior Sister Jiang, Ao Ming suddenly woke up."
Everyone heard about what happened next.
The Azure Dragon appeared, scaring away the demon race.
The Purple Sun Sword Master asked in bewilderment, "Isn't it a young dragon?"
Why do the disciples who witnessed it say that what was hovering in the air was an enormous, majestic, and powerful azure dragon?
Mingxuan Zhenjun said irritably, "That's just a phantom he conjured! I've wasted so many rare and precious materials to raise him to be strong, and all that effort was wasted when that phantom appeared!"
The Purple Sun Sword Master sighed, "Fortunately, we have him. Chonghua, go to my treasure vault and see what you can use to send to that young dragon."
Xie Chang'an cupped his hands and said, "Yes, thank you, Master."
Mingxuan Zhenjun snorted: "My disciple has been targeted by the Demon Emperor for no reason. Who is to blame? Who is the culprit? Does the Venerable not intend to pursue the matter?"
The Purple Sun Sword Master sighed, "I will definitely give your sect an explanation for this matter."
Chu Feixue is currently missing, and Ling Shuang Zhenjun has left in a huff. After finishing his beloved disciple's ceremony, Ziyang Sword Master plans to personally bring Chu Feixue and Ling Shuang Zhenjun back to the Sword Sect to get to the bottom of things.
He said he would handle it as appropriate and promised not to show favoritism.
Mingxuan Zhenjun's expression softened slightly: "Very well, I believe that Your Excellency will handle this matter impartially."
In any case, Jiang Li will return to the sect with them in three days. The spirit boat has a defensive array, and with him and Qingyuan Zhenjun in charge, even if the Demon Emperor sets up an ambush halfway again, he won't be able to cause any trouble.
