Investing In My Crippled Heavenly Empress Wife Gets 100,000x Returns
Chapter 214 A Reunion Better Than New Love (2)
[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]
She hadn’t expected Chen Chuan to have such a fortunate encounter.
However, she was very sensible and did not press for specific details.
Everyone has their own secrets. As long as he could return alive, nothing else mattered.
"Mm, as long as you’re still alive, it’s better than anything."
She pressed her cheek back against Chen Chuan’s chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, feeling incredibly at peace.
Just as the two were enjoying this rare moment of quiet and warmth, the Restriction outside the Cave Dwelling suddenly sent out a slight ripple.
Ji Siyu’s expression shifted, and she whispered somewhat flusteredly, "It’s Master."
She instinctively wanted to get up from Chen Chuan’s arms and tidy her slightly messy dress and hair.
However, Chen Chuan’s arms were like iron bands, with no intention of letting go. Instead, he held her tighter and laughed softly, "What’s there to fear? We are a legitimate husband and wife."
"But..." Ji Siyu was both ashamed and anxious.
Before she could finish, the Cave Dwelling’s Restriction was opened, and an elegant and noble figure walked in slowly. It was Mu Qingyu, the Holy Lord of Taiyi Holy Land.
As soon as Mu Qingyu entered the Cave Dwelling, her gaze fell upon the two people embracing tightly on the bed.
Seeing her precious Disciple, who was usually cold and detached and never gave any man a second look, now looking bashful and leaning into a man’s arms like a little bird, with even her ears flushed red.
Mu Qingyu immediately felt a surge of irritation, as if a succulent cabbage she had carefully cultivated was being gobbled up by a pig, even if this pig looked decent enough.
Her face darkened, and her gaze was like a knife, giving Chen Chuan a sharp look, wishing she could just blast this kid away from her Disciple with her eyes.
Sensing her Master’s gaze, Ji Siyu was even more ashamed. She struggled to stand up but was firmly held down by Chen Chuan.
She had no choice but to bury her burning cheeks against the side of Chen Chuan’s neck, acting like an ostrich, not daring to meet Mu Qingyu’s eyes.
"Ahem." Mu Qingyu cleared her throat, her voice carrying a hint of unquestionable authority: "Yu’er."
Chen Chuan was calm, still holding Ji Siyu, and nodded slightly to Mu Qingyu: "Holy Lord."
Mu Qingyu didn’t bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point, her tone carrying a warning:
"Chen Chuan, this seat doesn’t care what your previous relationship with Yu’er was. But now she is the Successor of Taiyi Holy Land, her status is noble, and her Cultivation is of the utmost importance."
"Behave yourself for this seat. Do not perform any transgressive acts that would damage Yu’er’s Primordial Yin Body and delay her Cultivation! Otherwise, don’t blame this seat for being impolite to you!"
She spoke quite bluntly, almost explicitly warning Chen Chuan not to touch Ji Siyu.
Hearing this, Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. Instead of being afraid, he retorted righteously:
"The Holy Lord is mistaken. Si Yu is my lawfully wedded wife. Between us as husband and wife, our love is deep, and whatever happens is only natural and right according to human ethics."
"Although you are Si Yu’s Master, you are ultimately an outsider. It seems you have no right to interfere in the private affairs of us as a couple, right?"
"You!" Mu Qingyu’s chest heaved with anger at his twisted logic, and a powerful Aura almost broke out uncontrollably.
An outsider?
This kid actually dared to call her an outsider?
She wished she could immediately step forward, drag this brat out, and castrate him to see if he could still be so sharp-tongued.
"Master!" Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Ji Siyu had to look up, her cheeks crimson.
In a voice as thin as a mosquito’s but with determination, she defended Chen Chuan: "Please don’t be angry. Chen Chuan, he... he knows his limits. I also know what’s important and will never, ever delay my Cultivation."
Seeing her precious Disciple defending Chen Chuan like this, Mu Qingyu felt a sense of helplessness.
She knew deeply that Ji Siyu was profoundly in love with Chen Chuan. Forcibly separating them was impossible and would instead damage their Master-Disciple bond.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said coldly: "It better be so!"
She paused and made another demand: "Chen Chuan, you cannot stay here. Return to your own Cave Dwelling immediately."
She didn’t want this hungry wolf staying with her little white rabbit all day; what if one day he couldn’t control himself...
Chen Chuan didn’t speak, but just looked down at Ji Siyu in his arms, his gaze instantly becoming aggrieved and lost, looking like a child abandoned by its owner.
As soon as Ji Siyu saw that pitiful look in his eyes, her heart immediately softened into a pool of spring water.
She had tasted enough of the pain of separation. Now that they had reunited, she didn’t want to be apart from him for even a moment.
She summoned her courage and looked at Mu Qingyu, her tone pleading yet exceptionally persistent: "Master! Let Chen Chuan stay. I don’t want to be separated from him again, I beg you."
Looking at her Disciple’s tearful and pleading eyes, Mu Qingyu swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of her tongue.
She understood Ji Siyu’s temperament; she appeared cold on the outside but was extremely stubborn on the inside. Once she set her mind on something, she would never change it.
"Sigh!" Finally, Mu Qingyu could only let out a helpless sigh.
She gave Chen Chuan another fierce glare, her warning clear:
"Since Yu’er is pleading for you, I will allow you to stay here temporarily."
"But you’d better keep my words in mind! If I find out you’ve behaved improperly and affected Yu’er, I will not show mercy."
After saying that, she stopped looking at the young couple who made her feel flustered. She flicked her sleeve, turned around, and transformed into a streak of light, leaving the Cave Dwelling.
Inside the Cave Dwelling, the Restriction closed again.
Chen Chuan looked in the direction where Mu Qingyu had disappeared, a successful smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms and laughed: "It seems my wife’s face is indeed big enough."
Ji Siyu gave him a coy punch: "You still say that! You almost scared me to death."
Despite her words, she leaned back into Chen Chuan’s arms with peace of mind, a satisfied and happy smile on her lips.
After experiencing life and death, they finally reunited.
This time, nothing would ever separate them again.
