Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2182: Chapter 2226: Silly Wife

After Jiang Fan finished displaying his swordsmanship, he looked at her with playful eyes:

"Now, do I look more like your husband?"

Liu Qingxian froze, then her mind roared for a moment. She said in disbelief, "You... you’re..."

Jiang Fan pulled off the mask on his face, revealing his true features, a helpless yet doting smile on his lips:

"My silly wife, still haven’t figured it out."

Staring at that familiar face, Liu Qingxian was stunned. She felt like she must be dreaming.

She could actually see Jiang Fan in the Martial Vault?

Was everything before her real?

She was dazed for a moment before coming back to herself. Her red lips trembled slightly, and her long lashes kept quivering.

"Fan..." She stepped forward quickly, threw herself into Jiang Fan’s arms, and hugged his waist tightly.

Her delicate head buried deep into his chest, her fragrant body trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Fan also reached out and pulled her forcefully into his embrace.

Two people who had been separated for a long time were reunited in a foreign Exotic Realm.

A single embrace outweighed a thousand words.

The two of them said nothing, just fully savoring the real touch of each other’s bodies.

After a long while, Liu Qingxian finally tilted her head up. Her eyes were already shimmering with tears as she spoke with a slight nasal tone:

"I haven’t become the Senior Sister Liu who can protect you. How come you’re here?"

Back when they parted, Liu Qingxian had said she wanted to become stronger, to return to the way she had been in the Green Cloud Sect, the Senior Sister Liu who protected Jiang Fan.

Yet now that they’d met again, it was still Jiang Fan protecting her.

When she was being scolded by Jian Wuchou, when she was unable to obtain the Seeking Heart Sword, it was once again Jiang Fan silently helping her from the shadows.

Clearly she had grown stronger, yet it felt like she hadn’t changed at all.

That made her both want to laugh and cry.

Jiang Fan joked, "Good thing I came, otherwise my wife would get stolen and not even know it."

Liu Qingxian hurriedly said, "You mean Jian Wuchou? Hmph, he does have designs on me."

"Seeing that I’m a candidate for the Sword Saint inheritance, and thinking I have great potential, he volunteered to be my Tao Guardian."

"Openly and secretly, he’s already tried several times to make me his woman."

"But I refused him every time!"

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed.

He had been wondering why Jian Wuchou had, for no reason, ordered Liu Qingxian not to call Jiang Fan her husband.

So he really was harboring thoughts about Liu Qingxian.

Though, that wasn’t surprising.

Liu Qingxian was beautiful to begin with, and she had the potential to inherit the Sword Saint legacy. Who wouldn’t covet her?

As for Liu Qingxian, she said she refused him, sounding relaxed.

But in reality, how could someone at the small Heavenly Human Second Decline possibly resist a Three Calamities Realm expert?

If the other party wanted to use force, could Liu Qingxian truly reject him?

It was only possible that Liu Qingxian had threatened him with her own death, so he didn’t dare act rashly.

Otherwise, if a Sword Saint candidate died for no good reason, as her Tao Guardian he would never be able to explain it away.

"Qingxian, come back to Central Earth with me."

"I’d rather have you safe than let you stay in the Martial Vault taking risks."

Jiang Fan said.

Liu Qingxian shook her head, her gaze still resolute: "At the very least, wait until my trials are over."

"If I can inherit the Sword Saint legacy, I’ll naturally keep going in the Martial Vault."

"If I can’t, it won’t be too late to return to Central Earth and obediently be your little woman."

Seeing that Jiang Fan’s brows were still tightly knitted, Liu Qingxian extended her jade-like hands, cupping Jiang Fan’s face as she said:

"You went through countless temperings to reach where you are today."

"And I want to grow too. Setbacks are a road I have to travel as well."

"Give me time. I’ll overcome all difficulties, including Jian Wuchou!"

Her face was brimming with confidence and determination.

For a split second, Jiang Fan seemed to see that valiant and dashing Senior Sister Liu from the Green Cloud Sect, the one who could stand on her own.

She was slowly finding her old self again, no longer the Liu Qingxian who stayed by Jiang Fan’s side depressed and dejected.

Complicated emotions of comfort and loss welled up in Jiang Fan’s heart, and he let out a slight sigh:

"Then let me give you a hand."

He took out the Heart Sword and said, "This is for you."

Liu Qingxian’s bright crystal eyes lit up. She received it in delight and said, "With the Heart Sword, I can be like the Great Sage Jian Sankuang and command the Heaven and Earth Sword."

"My chance of surpassing the other candidates in the upcoming inheritance trials will surge greatly."

Suddenly, Liu Qingxian recalled how she had refused this sword earlier, leaving Jiang Fan unable to back down.

She couldn’t help sneaking a cautious glance at Jiang Fan, carefully smoothing out his slightly messy hair as she said:

"Um... I raised my voice a bit just now. Let me apologize to you."

"Husband won’t hold it against me, right?"

If she hadn’t mentioned it, Jiang Fan might have forgotten. Now he remembered and said irritably:

"Your husband was ridiculed quite harshly just now, called an old cow eating tender grass!"

"You think a single apology covers that?"

Liu Qingxian grew a little tense, speaking guiltily, "Then what do you want?"

Jiang Fan lifted her chin and snorted, "Of course you have to make it up to me!"

Before Liu Qingxian could react, her soft lips were already captured.

She instinctively wanted to struggle, but soon realized what was happening, slowly closing her eyes and sinking into it.

As passion deepened, Jiang Fan’s hand traveled upward along her waist step by step.

Liu Qingxian did not resist. Instead, she reached out both arms to hook around Jiang Fan’s neck, opening her chest to him, letting him explore within, searching for the True White hidden deep inside.

After a long while, as their breathing grew more and more heated—

Liu Qingxian parted her lips, her gaze hazy as she murmured:

"Fan, take me..."

Flames burned in Jiang Fan’s eyes, hard to restrain.

Thinking of how they had spent more time apart than together, and how they would soon face wars across the heavens and the dark tides, even whether they could meet again was an unknown.

He wrapped Liu Qingxian in his arms, his scorching breath beating against her face.

Liu Qingxian’s body stiffened slightly.

She realized what was about to happen next.

Her heart was filled with both anticipation and nervousness.

But just then—

Beeping sounds rang out simultaneously from both of their arms.

It was the Moon Realm.

In their daze, the two of them finally cooled down a bit and each took out their Moon Realm to look.

At a glance, both of them clenched their fists.

Jiang Fan even ground his teeth!

There was a line of text on the Moon Realm.

"Never Spoils the Mood: Haha, guess where we are? We’ve come to Nanqian, it’s super bustling here!"

You f*cking hell!

Jiang Fan’s mental defenses collapsed!

If he remembered correctly, back when he and Liu Qingxian were atop the Boundary Mountain Great Wall and about to take things further, it was this damn thing that suddenly showed up and ruined everything.

And today it was this damn thing again!!

Beep beep—

Another line of text appeared on the Moon Realm, sent by Liu Qingxian.

"West Palace: Wish you a safe trip and that you go missing halfway!"

Jiang Fan also quickly wrote a line.

"Pick a Good Name: May Heaven open its eyes and let you die in Nanqian, never come back to Central Earth!"

"Never Spoils the Mood: I... I’m just checking in here, what did I do wrong?"

Jiang Fan put away the Moon Realm with hatred, and Liu Qingxian’s pretty face darkened as she shoved the Moon Realm back into her bosom.

The two of them glanced at each other, then both looked away awkwardly.

Thanks to Liang Feiyan, the atmosphere was completely ruined.

This damn thing truly deserved to die!

Jiang Fan sighed, "Forget it. Let’s find a safe place first, I still need to heal."

Liu Qingxian asked in surprise, "You’re injured? Is it serious?"

Jiang Fan said, "Let’s talk after we change locations!"

Right away, he once again activated the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths and departed.

Not long after, the Mysterious Great Sage arrived first.

He lowered his head, looking at the Seal on the ground that had been washed away, his face darkening with annoyance:

"So you actually discovered it?"
