Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1252 - 372: [3 People, 2 Shadows]_3

The most important thing was that Chen Yan discovered her cold, distant gaze was fixed straight on him!

Standing inside the window, her gaze passed through the glass and quietly stared at him!

For a moment, Chen Yan even read a hint of complex emotion in those eyes.

It seemed like some kind of dissatisfaction, some kind of agitation, some kind of anger...

In short, it wasn’t a good emotion.

Was it because... he took Lu Sisi away for too long without returning, making this Saintess Ghost unhappy?

Chen Yan stood outside the door but didn’t reach out to open it. Instead, he faced this Saintess Ghost through the floor-to-ceiling window.

A few seconds later, the Saintess Ghost actually slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She... revealed a faint smile!

This smile carried indifference, disdain, and a touch of mockery.

Then, she unexpectedly turned her body, withdrew her gaze from Chen Yan, and her figure slowly faded away until disappearing.

Chen Yan felt a twinge of unease in his heart. He immediately dispelled any idea of entering the house, turned around, and quickly left the villa and the neighborhood.

Two days later.

Chen Yan was in the underground garage of the apartment complex where he lived, loading several boxes filled with New Year goods into the trunk of his car one by one, stacking them neatly.

Lu Sisi was busy placing a bag of bought snacks and fruits onto the passenger seat.

A few minutes later, the two got into the car, and Chen Yan drove out of the apartment’s underground garage, onto the road, and drove away.

The two were heading back to Chen Yan’s old hometown in the countryside.

To celebrate the New Year!

·

Last year’s Spring Festival, spent in the countryside, was the best and happiest Spring Festival in Lu Sisi’s life.

Last year, it was still a trio returning to the countryside, but this year, only the young couple remained, missing that Young Lady Gu.

Actually, a few days ago when Chen Yan and Lu Sisi were talking about the New Year, Lu Sisi expressed nostalgia for the days spent over the Spring Festival in the countryside last year.

The countryside’s conditions might not be as well equipped as those in the big city, but the leisure, carefree, simple, unembellished atmosphere, even having a feeling of seclusion from the world.

All of this made Lu Sisi very nostalgic.

For Chen Yan, since his girlfriend had such thoughts, he had no reason not to fulfill them. Besides, returning to the countryside is also something he is quite willing to do.

On the way back to the countryside, the car’s Bluetooth speaker was connected to Lu Sisi’s phone, playing the girl’s favorite playlist.

Chen Yan drove leisurely, with Lu Sisi nestled in the seat beside him, with a smile on her face, peeling a big mandarin orange and feeding Chen Yan slice by slice.

The girl just smiled as she watched Chen Yan eat it piece by piece.

Suddenly, there was a moment when Lu Sisi seemed to remember something and sighed softly.

"If Sister Gu Qingyi were here, it would be perfect."

Chen Yan didn’t speak, thinking to himself that Young Lady Gu had almost become a killing demon king at Snow Cliff Pass; in the battle at Snow Cliff Pass, she executed a great plan, annihilating more than a hundred thousand of the Fierce Beast Race’s robust men, making it difficult for the Fierce Beast Race to recover its Primordial Qi for several years.

Today’s Young Lady Gu is likely on a killing rampage at Snow Cliff Pass, no longer the Young Lady Gu from last Spring Festival, who was at the old house in the countryside playing games, building snowmen, and setting off fireworks every day.

By late afternoon, the car arrived at the entrance of the village in the countryside, where someone was already waiting.

A young figure in a gray jacket stood under the village’s electrical pole. He stood there, upright like a pine, yet his presence was subtle, seemingly blending with the surroundings.

Seeing Chen Yan’s big Mercedes coming, the figure took a step forward, lifted his face, looked towards Chen Yan with a smile on his face.

Chen Yan slowly stopped the car, rolled down the window, and smiled at him: "Chuyi, have you been waiting long?"

"Not long, brother, I’m happy you’re back."

Of course, this person is Wang Chuyi, who hasn’t shown his face for a long time.

In fact, a few months ago, Wang Chuyi had already left the Cloud Sect Academy.

Under Chu Keqing’s guidance, he had already entered the Cloud Sect Technique, absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and gained cultivation.

He had reached the greatest goal he had when he came down the mountain.

Later, he thanked Chu Keqing, left the Cloud Sect Academy, and returned to his hometown in the countryside.

Hmm... with his Demon master-and-apprentice wives, living together... no, it’s living triple and flying triple.

Before Chen Yan’s return, he had given Wang Chuyi a call earlier in the morning when he set off, and this guy was very excited and came to the village entrance early to wait to welcome Chen Yan.

"These are persimmons picked this fall, which I personally dried into persimmon cakes. I remember that Sister Sisi likes sweet things, so I specially made these, each one with golden pulp and guaranteed to be sweet to the bone!"

As the big Mercedes arrived at Chen Yan’s home yard, Wang Chuyi helped unload the New Year goods brought by Chen Yan and carried them into the house. He then took out a cloth bag he carried with him, opened it, and a few dozen persimmon cakes rolled out with a faint sweet fragrance.

There’s also a layer of white sugar frost on them.

Chen Yan patted Wang Chuyi’s shoulder: "Appreciate the thought, brother."

He picked up a persimmon cake, tore it in half, took a bite himself, and then stuffed the other half into Lu Sisi’s hand.

Lu Sisi took a bite and immediately beamed: "Very sweet, very delicious."
