The Joy Before Departure
"Sister Shengyi, please come in," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Jiang Shengyi walked in from outside the bedroom.
She was still dressed in her usual snow-white attire, looking as elegant and refined as ever.
Her eyebrows were arched, her eyes were watery, her lips were red, and her teeth were shiny.
Her body was flawless and her figure graceful. Her fair and slender figure made her look like a snow lotus that stood aloof from the world.
The Innate Energy Vessel further enhanced Jiang Shengyi's beauty, making her look ethereal, lively, and otherworldly.
Such women were rare in the world.
Even a straight man like Jun Xiaoyao who didn't care much about women couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Shengyi was indeed a rare beauty.
However, the thought of having such a complicated relationship with her gave Jun Xiaoyao a headache.
"Xiaoyao, I…" Jiang Shengyi was about to say something.
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Sister Shengyi, you don't have to thank me if you're here. There's no need for us to be so distant."
Jiang Shengyi fell silent upon hearing that.
She did want to thank Jun Xiaoyao for what he did to her.
Jun Xiaoyao was even willing to venture into an extremely dangerous place like the Ancient Burial Ground.
All of this was just to prevent her from marrying the young emperor of the Wang family.
Jiang Shengyi felt very guilty at the thought of putting Jun Xiaoyao in danger because of her.
She would rather that she was the one who went to the Ancient Burial Ground.
"Sister Shengyi, is there nothing else?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Xiaoyao, when do you plan to set off?" Jiang Shengyi asked.
"Maybe tomorrow," Jun Xiaoyao said.
The three thousand pieces of Immortal Essence had all been refined. There was no need to delay any longer.
Furthermore, the opening of the Ancient Immortal Realm was not far away. Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to delay the opportunity of the Ancient Immortal Realm because of the incident at the Ancient Burial Ground.
"So soon… Xiaoyao, I heard that you like taking baths?" Jiang Shengyi suddenly asked.
"Alright." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Jiang Shengyi said, "There is a Ten Thousand Years Spirit Spring in the cave where I cultivate in seclusion. I'm usually the only one who uses it. If you don't mind, let me take you there."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes brightened.
It was not a bad idea to relax before leaving.
However, that seemed to be Jiang Shengyi's private hot spring. It was a little…
A faint blush appeared on Jiang Shengyi's fair skin as she said in a soft voice, "Xiaoyao, let me help you bathe this time."
"Well…" Jun Xiaoyao was left speechless.
It didn't seem appropriate to have the divine lady and the divine concubine serve him.
He wanted to say that it was unnecessary, but he felt that it would be too hypocritical.
It was better for men to be more realistic.
In the end, Jiang Shengyi brought Jun Xiaoyao to her place of seclusion.
Sure enough, there was a spring within. The spirit qi was dense and steaming.
Jun Xiaoyao removed the top half of his clothes and sank into the spring, feeling extremely satisfied.
He turned around and saw Jiang Shengyi taking off her outer clothes.
He was only wearing a tight-fitting shirt.
It vaguely outlined her beautiful curves.
She placed her hand on Jun Xiaoyao's shoulder and massaged him.
Jun Xiaoyao enjoyed himself immensely.
He discovered that the spirit spring had a faint fragrance to it.
Upon closer inspection, he found that it was similar to Jiang Shengyi's body fragrance, with a fresh and elegant smell.
Nothing unspeakable happened between the two of them.
A sense of warmth quietly flowed through him.
Jun Xiaoyao fell asleep after a long while.
Jiang Shengyi knelt on the ground and placed Jun Xiaoyao's head on her thigh.
Her hand traced the outline of Jun Xiaoyao's face when he was sound asleep.
He was obviously asleep.
However, Jun Xiaoyao was still frowning slightly.
Jiang Shengyi felt her heart ache at the sight.
Everyone knew that Jun Xiaoyao was invincible.
Little did he know how much pressure he was under and how much burden he was carrying.
"Xiaoyao, thank you…"
Jiang Shengyi lowered her head and pressed her red lips gently on Jun Xiaoyao's forehead.
The kiss was devoid of any distracting thoughts.
…
After a while, Jun Xiaoyao opened his eyes and found Jiang Shengyi staring at his face.
Her head was resting on her soft thighs.
"Is this… a pillow?" Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned.
It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he received such treatment as a VIP.
Feeling a little guilty, Jiang Shengyi looked away, her cheeks blushing slightly.
She was somewhat entranced by Jun Xiaoyao's handsome sleeping face.
Even though Jiang Shengyi wasn't as ugly as Jiang Luoli,
However, who wouldn't want to look at a pretty face?
"Xiaoyao, you're awake," Jiang Shengyi said gently.
"Thank you, Sister Shengyi." Jun Xiaoyao stood up.
He wasn't the kind of person who would lust after gentleness.
However, such concern was indeed comforting.
At least Jiang Luoli wasn't that gentle.
If Jiang Luoli was described as a playful and adorable loli…
Jiang Shengyi was the gentle big sister next door. Their personalities were completely different.
"Can't I go with you?" Jiang Shengyi still wanted to go with Jun Xiaoyao.
"That won't be necessary. Don't you trust me, Sister Shengyi?" Jun Xiaoyao politely declined with a smile.
"Xiaoyao, I'll wait for you to come back," Jiang Shengyi said gently.
"Alright." Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Jiang Shengyi's face turned slightly red as if she recalled something. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito as she said, "I'll let you do something more comfortable when you're back, Xiaoyao."
"Something more comfortable?" A strange look appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
There was something about his words.
The warm night was over.
The next day, Jun Xiaoyao left the Jiang family under the watch of Jiang Daoxu, Jiang Rou, and a group of members of the Jiang family.
He rode a flying boat across the void.
Jun Xiaoyao could feel that many people were secretly following him.
"Heh… Do you all want to watch the show?" Jun Xiaoyao smirked.
The Jiang family must have completely sealed off the news of his trip to the Ancient Burial Ground.
The Jiang family probably wouldn't spread the news.
In the end, however, it was still leaked and spread throughout the Huangtian Mystic Realm.
It was obvious that someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire.
If something were to happen to Jun Xiaoyao, the entire Mystic Realm would know at once.
"I don't think the Jiang family would spread the news. Could it be a Hua Yuanxiu?"
After thinking about it, Jun Xiaoyao could only think of Hua Yuanxiu.
Maybe he secretly leaked the news.
For the news to spread so widely in such a short time, it was obvious that there was a force behind the Hua Yuanxiu.
As for what kind of force it was, Jun Xiaoyao had more or less guessed it.
"The Wang family sure is bold. They dare to plant their pawns in the Jiang family. Once we return from the Ancient Burial Ground, we'll kill this Hua Yuan cultivator." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with coldness.
Killing a Hua Yuanxiu now was not the right time.
He was also Jiang Chuhan's fiancé.
Killing a Hua Yuanxiu without any evidence was a little unacceptable. Besides, he would also argue about it.
When Hua Yuanxiu showed his weakness in the future, they would kill him right away.
At the same time, he could blackmail the Wang family and make them pay.
However, that was all for later.
Right now, all Jun Xiaoyao needed to do was focus on searching for the Immortality Herb of Nine Abhijnas in the Ancient Burial Grounds.
"Allow me to see what's so special about the Ancient Burial Ground."
Jun Xiaoyao stood in the wind, gazing into the distance.
