Inside the carriage, Wu Jin's attention remained fixed outside, and he was silent throughout the entire journey.
"It will get better with time," Chen Xuan said, patting his shoulder. It was natural to feel some sadness after leaving the place he had lived his whole life and his only family.
"Is this the scent of the outside world?" Wu Jin finally withdrew his gaze and spoke his first words since departing Stone Cave. His words, however, carried no hint of sadness for Chen Xuan; instead, they seemed tinged with a bit of excitement.
"Haha!" Chen Xuan chuckled, suspecting he might have misjudged the situation.
"Oh, right, what kind of woman do you prefer? I'll keep an eye out for you." Before their departure, Wu Guang had earnestly entrusted him with this specific task. He had requested Chen Xuan's assistance, emphasizing that it pertained to the future prosperity of the Wu Family.
Chen Xuan, having received substantial help at Stone Cave this time, felt he had no grounds to refuse.
"Huh?" Wu Jin was momentarily taken aback. "Really, there's no need. I truly have no inclinations in that regard right now." Women were genuinely unnecessary for him, and he wasn't joking.
"Alright, I understand. I'll just observe how things unfold on their own." Chen Xuan paid no mind to Wu Jin's current feelings.
Having grown up in an environment exclusively with men, even though Stone Cave offered certain recreational facilities, the quality of the women available was, to be frank, quite subpar. Wu Jin might not have any desires at present, but that would change once he encountered someone truly beautiful. When that happened, natural inclinations would arise.
After all, even heroes throughout history have found it difficult to resist the allure of beauty, let alone him!
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Xuan, along with his companions, reached Bright Moon Mansion.
En route, Chen Xuan had paid a visit to the Three Judicial Departments and, after a brief exchange with Lang Fei, quickly departed Bright Moon Mansion. However, he parted ways with Liu Sheng as messages to Xiaoqi remained unanswered, likely due to her being in seclusion, leading him to abandon the idea of heading to the Imperial City.
Primordial Realm!
"Phew!"
"Finally, I'm back!" A familiar sense of security, absent for so long, finally returned upon reaching his own domain.
A smile involuntarily graced Chen Xuan's face.
During his time with the Stone Race, he had to remain vigilant at every step, though conditions did improve later on within the Stone Race's Sacred Land.
"Eh, where is this place?" At this moment, the long-dormant Spiritual Liquid unexpectedly spoke.
In the next instant, it seemed eager to emerge from the Dantian. The spiritual power within Chen Xuan's body stirred subtly, instantly drawing the Spiritual Liquid out of the Dantian.
The miniature Spiritual Liquid surveyed the Primordial Realm, inhaled deeply, and then fixed its gaze directly towards the location of Xiaoyuan.
"A newly formed realm!"
"No, that’s not quite right!"
"This aura is incredibly ancient; it must have been dormant for a considerable period." Chen Xuan was genuinely surprised, not expecting the Spiritual Liquid to discern so much about the Primordial Realm at a single glance, and even pinpoint Xiaoyuan's whereabouts.
"I never anticipated you would possess such great fortune!" The Spiritual Liquid looked at Chen Xuan, finding this member of the Human Race increasingly unfathomable.
Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivation, the Double Five Realm, a body like jade and bone, initiating the cultivation method of the Sacred Body, and now possessing an ancient realm – any one of these factors alone would mark him as an exceptional genius.
"What? Do you think I don't deserve it?" Since his Telepathy had leveled up previously, he found it progressively easier to perceive people's true natures. Even an entity like the Spiritual Liquid, formed from the very essence of heaven and earth, could be seen through in an instant.
"You are terrifying!" The Spiritual Liquid stated with gravity, speaking slowly.
"Whether I am terrifying is inconsequential; what matters is your loyalty. I am always generous to those who belong to me."
"Perhaps this is also my opportunity!" Chen Xuan found this statement rather peculiar.
"May I go to its side and cultivate for a period?" Noticing the bewilderment on Chen Xuan's face, the Spiritual Liquid elaborated, "I sense something quite unique about it; its aura is profoundly ancient, and perhaps by its side, I can achieve a swift recovery. This would also assist you in cultivating your Sacred Body!"
Chen Xuan contemplated for a moment. The life and death of the Spiritual Liquid were within his control, and the Primordial Realm was under his dominion, thus no significant issues should arise. He nodded, granting permission, "Proceed!"
"Thank you kindly!" The Spiritual Liquid offered Chen Xuan a deep bow, signifying its true acceptance of him as its master. Then, transforming into a streak of white light, it flew in the direction of Xiaoyuan.
...
As the sun began to set. Chen Xuan returned, much to the delight of the women. Ning Xin and the others had prepared a feast laden with his favorite dishes.
"Husband, would you like to try this?"
Lan Meng’Er lifted a piece of delicate tofu, placing it into his bowl. It was crab roe tofu, a dish she had mastered.
Chen Xuan picked it up. The white, tender tofu quivered slightly on the chopsticks, yet it remained perfectly intact. "Not bad, your skills have improved!" he praised.
He then put it into his mouth, savoring the taste.
"Mmm... This is even better than your usual! Absolutely delicious!"
He gave a satisfied nod.
Merely from this single dish, it was evident her cooking was now on the same level as Ning Xin’s.
"As long as my husband likes it, that's all that matters,"
Lan Meng’Er’s eyes sparkled with joy. While Chen Xuan was away from the Primordial Realm, she had dedicated herself to culinary arts, which explained her remarkable progress.
"Your cultivation has also advanced!"
Already in the Mid-Stage Profound Realm, it seemed the marrow cleansing he had performed for her previously had yielded significant results.
"Haha!"
Lan Meng’Er chuckled softly, "Thank you, husband."
Following this, the other women took turns serving Chen Xuan, each presenting their most outstanding dish.
With a sip of Monkey Wine and a mouthful of exquisite food, Chen Xuan enjoyed the meal immensely, feeling utterly content.
What greater bliss could there be than this moment?
If not for the looming issues concerning the burial site and the Lower Realm, he could have happily remained in this state of indulgence forever.
"By the way, how did your recent journey fare?"
Ning Xin reached for a napkin, delicately dabbing the corner of his mouth, and inquired softly.
