At this moment, Chen Junye was bathing.
Of course, removing the impurities covering his body was easy. His wife wanted him to use this immortal spring water to strengthen his physique and nourish his foundation, so naturally he chose to obediently listen.
Thinking of that, Chen Junye smiled slightly.
Having a wife is wonderful.
After meeting again, they had spent several shameless days together. Separation makes the honeymoon sweeter, and it was hardly a mood killer. After this, he should also go deal with some matters.
Not only the matters on his own body, but also those on his wife’s. If any blind riffraff showed up, he would naturally pull them out for his wife!
But at that moment, Chen Junye suddenly sensed some gazes and looked over in confusion…
In some hidden place.
Xia Zhiyao stared at Chen Junye bathing in the distant immortal spring water, the corners of her mouth still rising uncontrollably.
The children’s father has such a great figure.
After washing up, he looked even better, more handsome and powerful, far stronger than a mortal body. She had experienced it deeply these past few days.
…As a wife, peeking at her husband bathing was perfectly reasonable!
Of course, it was also because they had been apart for many years, and now her husband had suddenly appeared. After the separation made the honeymoon sweeter, she felt like no matter how she looked, she could never get tired of it, and she would feel uncomfortable if she could not see him for even a second.
“With the cleansing of the immortal spring water, his immortal body should greatly benefit…” she murmured.
But she suddenly discovered that her husband was looking in her direction.
She immediately dodged away reflexively.
“Could husband actually detect me?”
Xia Zhiyao was a little puzzled. “I’ve set up barriers and formations here, not to mention the shield formed by my immortal power. Ordinary people definitely can’t sense my presence. My husband should be obediently letting me peek at him, so how can he notice me?”
This was her territory!
Her husband should naturally let her do as she pleased!
“It must just be a coincidence.” After thinking it over, Xia Zhiyao could only explain it that way. “Maybe it’s also because we husband and wife are connected by heart, so our intuition is sharp!”
That must be it!
She had startled herself… After figuring that out, Xia Zhiyao no longer hid. She jumped out directly and stared wide-eyed.
After all, her husband still could not truly detect her.
Feeling that this still was not enough, she directly flew to a spot not far above Chen Junye and stared down at him.
Chen Junye, soaking in the immortal spring, realized it was his wife and silently withdrew his gaze.
If he were truly a True Immortal, then in his eyes, Xia Zhiyao would be like a transparent person, as if she did not exist at all.
Impossible to notice.
Unfortunately, he was not.
So he could see his wife standing there… looking a little silly.
He suddenly noticed Xia Zhiyao flying directly above his head.
“…”
That is a bit too much.
A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Junye’s mouth again.
What else could he do? He could only let his wife continue being cute…
Though inwardly he was thinking: for the sake of fairness, next time he should look back at her. His wife should not mind, right?
Before long, Chen Junye finished bathing and went to see Xia Zhiyao.
“Wife…”
Seeing Xia Zhiyao looking as if nothing had happened and acting perfectly confident, Chen Junye did not expose her little act.
“Husband, how does it feel?”
Xia Zhiyao asked with concern, completely unaware.
Chen Junye smiled. “Wife, this immortal spring water really is extraordinary. It benefits me greatly. If I came a few more times, it would definitely benefit my cultivation tremendously.”
Xia Zhiyao smiled with satisfaction. “Husband, in this place, you can bathe whenever you want.”
“Good.” Chen Junye was not the least bit polite. He even thought that later he could drag his wife along to play in the water and wash the children’s mother clean.
“Then, wife, tell me about the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor.”
He was asking about himself, wasn’t that something?
Xia Zhiyao did not waste words. She pulled Chen Junye to sit beside her.
“Husband, the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor enjoys great prestige out there. Many years ago, he fought against the Demon Emperor who invaded the Immortal Realm. He was truly peerless in grace.”
“In the end, he suppressed that Demon Emperor in Mount Emperor Fall. Unfortunately, he was also injured, his cultivation completely dissipated, and he ended up being expelled from the sect…”
“That’s far too tragic.” Chen Junye expressed deep sympathy.
Xia Zhiyao nodded. “It really is tragic. So all these years, the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor disappeared from the Immortal Realm and his whereabouts became unknown. But recently, for some unknown reason, something happened to him. He suddenly returned, and even his cultivation recovered. Then came the disturbance from before.”
“Wife, so that means the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor is doing this for some purpose?”
“Of course. Husband, maybe the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor is seeking revenge. But such actions will inevitably offend some great Immortal Emperor powerhouses. I’m afraid those experts will have to step forward for the sake of face.” As Xia Zhiyao said this, her expression also turned somewhat unhappy.
Seeing this, Chen Junye felt helpless.
Damn, his wife might have set her sights on him.
But since he was hiding by his wife’s side, he could infer from her hints that the one in Supreme Emperor Palace probably held the same view. That meant he really needed to step in and solve this.
…And he could not drag his wife into it. Otherwise, if he failed to solve anything and instead brought trouble to his wife and Supreme Emperor Palace, he would feel bad about it too.
He could only say, “I see.”
Xia Zhiyao continued, “That said, without the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor appearing back then to suppress that Demon Emperor, the major immortal sects might have suffered even greater losses. It’s only a difference in stance now…”
Her expression carried a hint of regret, but she had no choice. After all, she ultimately represented Supreme Emperor Palace.
Chen Junye suddenly felt like his wife was praising him… Anyway, that was what he believed!
He smiled. “Maybe…”
Their stances really were different, but they would soon be the same!
“Anyway, with our level, we can’t come into contact with it, so husband doesn’t need to worry about it.” Xia Zhiyao finished speaking and blinked. “In a while, I’m going back to the immortal sect to have a look. Husband, do you want to come?”
With her strength… in order not to make her husband feel inferior or pressured, she could casually create a temporary immortal sect and arrange everything for her husband! He would still be dazed and completely at her mercy… just thinking about it was fun.
Chen Junye did not know what little scheme his wife was up to, and his interest only grew.
“Wife, of course I want to go.”
This was the kind of romance a couple should have, staying a little silly for each other.
“All right, then I’ll take you back later.” After saying that, Xia Zhiyao leaned into Chen Junye’s arms and enjoyed the time without the two children disturbing them.
…Although she also missed Yuan’er and Hao’er, when she thought about it carefully, ever since she gave birth to the two kids, the couple had never spent time alone like this.
Danger still lurked, so they should cherish the present…
…
The Immortal Realm.
It was a place where countless immortal races coexisted.
There were humans and beasts.
Based on humans and beasts, all kinds of immortal races could be born from different conditions.
Among them, the demon race was also one kind of immortal race. But perhaps because some human or some beast had a different experience and fallen onto the evil path, the figure of a demon emerged, and they might even become monsters or ugly, terrifying existences. Then they multiplied and survived, giving rise to the legacy of the demon race.
And when demon cultivators became powerful, they could also dominate a region.
However, they had never been welcomed by the other immortal races, so they could only keep their distance from them, or even hide.
Demon Abyss.
This place did not belong to any of the thirty-three Immortal Domains, but in terms of area, it was enough to surpass any single Immortal Domain.
This was the demon race’s lair, also a land of darkness. It drew the boundary with the thirty-three Immortal Domains, and it was also the demon realm.
“The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor has appeared!”
After learning this news, the demons were furious beyond measure.
Each of them had twisted expressions, and murderous aura surged to the heavens!
“The Eternal Night Immortal Emperor has returned! Since he could suppress our demon race’s Demon Emperor, then he should be the next ruler of our Demon Abyss!”
As this not-so-bright voice rang out, the demons all began to go blank.
