Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

"so what should I do now?"

Seeing that the Qingyun Sword Sect could not protect Chu Yunfan, and that other places could not escape the Zhou family's star-gazing and divination techniques, Shen Muyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in small steps, but she just couldn't think of a solution.

Just then, Chu Yunfan patted Shen Muyan on the shoulder and chuckled:

Nothing in this world is absolute.

Everything in the universe is divided into Yin and Yang, which are mutually generating and mutually restraining.

Even if the Zhou family's astrological divination techniques are incredibly advanced, there are always limitations, and there must be ways to counter them.

Don't worry, I'm not that short-lived.

After speaking, Chu Yunfan turned to Shangguan Wan and instructed her:

"Wan'er, take Mu Yan back to Qingyun Sword Sect first."

"Now, I'd like to see what the Zhou family can do to me!"

Chu Yunfan's tone was firm and resolute, his eyes filled with determination, as if he had absolute confidence in confronting a behemoth like the Zhou family.

However, in Shangguan Wan's view, Chu Yunfan, a mere Martial King, was simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an egg hitting a rock when facing a top-tier power like the Zhou family. He was doomed to die.

Therefore, Shangguan Wan decisively rejected Chu Yunfan's arrangement, replying firmly:

"No, you have to come back to the Qingyun Sword Sect with us."

After all, you were the top student in the inner sect competition, and now you've been promoted to a core disciple. You're considered a person of status and position within the sect.

The sect cannot completely ignore you and let the Zhou family do as they please.

Returning to the Qingyun Sword Sect offers at least a glimmer of hope.

But staying outside means certain death!

Hearing Shangguan Wan's words, Chu Yunfan sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying:

"Wan'er, you're still too naive!"

Relying on heaven or earth is ultimately not as good as relying on yourself.

I don't want to leave my fate to the sect to decide; I want to take it into my own hands!

When Chu Yunfan said those words, his tone was full of determination.

In his view, returning to the sect would be like a tiger entering a cage, at the mercy of others.

Staying outside is like a tiger emerging from the mountains, roaring freely in the forest.

However, to Chu Yunfan's dismay, Shangguan Wan always felt that Qingyun Sword Sect was safer and wanted to take him back to Qingyun Sword Sect with her.

Finally, Shangguan Wan even took Chu Yunfan's arm and said:

“If you don’t come back to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect with me, then I won’t go back either.”

"I'll stay with you. If the Zhou family comes knocking, I'll become your fugitive lover!"

After he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan was truly at a loss for words, a bitter smile on his face.

Just then, Shen Muyan came over to join in the fun and took Chu Yunfan's other arm.

"Senior Brother Yunfan, Muyan will accompany you too!"

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan was speechless.

With great difficulty, he managed to squeeze out a single sentence.

"My two great-aunts, please stop causing trouble!"

It's actually more convenient for me to deal with the Zhou family on my own.

"If you all follow me, how can I fight back effectively against the Zhou family's methods!"

Chu Yunfan spoke very politely.

But the meaning is clear: Shangguan Wan and Shen Muyan would be nothing more than burdens if they followed him.

Shen Muyan and Shangguan Wan were not stupid; they immediately understood the meaning behind Chu Yunfan's words.

Shangguan Wan's strong personality made her unable to bear such words, and her expression immediately changed.

"What? You used to always praise me so much, but now you've changed your tune so quickly and think I'm a burden?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately explained:

"Wan'er, you know that's not what I meant, it's just..."

As they talked, Chu Yunfan prepared to tell Shangguan Wan and Shen Muyan about his other identity as Xuanyuan Sword, and to tell them his idea of ​​living as Xuanyuan Sword for a while.

However, at that moment, an incredibly beautiful voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Chu Yunfan's next words.

“My good husband, if you can’t make a living as a human, you can come to our demon race!”

"I'd like to see if the Zhou family dares to act so presumptuously in our Demon Realm!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Ruoqin's alluring and peerless figure appeared before Chu Yunfan and the other two.

"You're the witch Yunfan mentioned?"

The moment Shangguan Wan saw Tian Ruoqin, she felt threatened and instinctively tightened her grip on Chu Yunfan's arm while questioning him.

As for Shen Muyan, she had already seen Tian Ruoqin in the Demon Realm, so she didn't react much.

Facing Shangguan Wan's hostility, Tian Ruoqin didn't retaliate. Instead, she giggled and spoke in a soft, sweet voice:

"This must be Sister Wan'er. I'm not called the Witch, you can just call me Sister Qin'er."

Furthermore, Sister Wan'er, there's no need for you to be hostile towards me. I'm not the kind of foolish woman who likes to compete for favor.

We are all our husbands' women, family, and true sisters. Getting along well is the right thing to do!

During the dual cultivation of souls through "The Voice of the Heavenly Demon," Tian Ruoqin read all of Chu Yunfan's memories and naturally knew what kind of personality Shangguan Wan had.

Therefore, as soon as Tian Ruoqin opened her mouth, she directly acknowledged that Shangguan Wan was her older sister, lowered her own stance, and expressed her desire to get along peacefully with Shangguan Wan.

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Ruoqin said these words, the hostility in Shangguan Wan's eyes instantly lessened.

However, Shangguan Wan was still a little worried.

It is said that the demon race is good at bewitching people's hearts.

How do I know whether what you're saying is true or false?

As soon as Shangguan Wan finished speaking, another burst of giggles came from Tian Ruoqin's mouth.

"Giggle!"

Sister Wan'er, you're giving me too much credit.

My husband is such a womanizer, yet I can't seduce him; he completely controls me.

"Since we're both women, I'm even less likely to seduce you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan turned to look at Chu Yunfan, her eyes filled with questioning.

"You really weren't infatuated with her, but instead suppressed her?"

Upon hearing this question, Chu Yunfan only replied with one sentence.

"I was in the underground hellhole at the time. If I couldn't control her, do you think I could have come back unscathed?"

Upon hearing this, the questioning look in Shangguan Wan's eyes noticeably faded.

Because Chu Yunfan is speaking with facts, there is no possibility of sophistry.

At the same time, Tian Ruoqin uttered even more astonishing words.

"Whether on or under the bed."

He had me completely under his control.

"Sister Wan'er, don't you know how capable your husband is?"

Upon hearing Tian Ruoqin's words, Shangguan Wan's first reaction was to feel shy, and she really wanted to tell Tian Ruoqin that she was shameless.

However, one of Tian Ruoqin's words struck a chord with Shangguan Wan.

"Indeed, he's so outstanding, how could I doubt his abilities?"

He even managed to win over the Ice Spirit Sect's Ice Mountain Saintess.

What's a mere witch compared to that?

For some reason, Shangguan Wan suddenly remembered a sentence that Nalan Xue had said before.

"He is my man, Nalan Xue's man, and also a member of the Ice Spirit Sect!"
