Ciel looked at Jian Wuxin’s face, making the latter somewhat embarrassed that she almost lowered her head.
She was not a shy woman, but in this situation, her heart could not help but be made to pound.
At the same time, Mu Yixue suddenly said, “today is yours, I won’t bother anymore.”
After saying that, Mu Yixue strode away, approaching the Ice Palace disciples.
Although Jian Wuxin and Mu Yixue’s relationship was not deep, even they had been in conflict, when left alone by Mu Yixue, Jian Wuxin still felt uncomfortable. She was somehow more comfortable if there was Mu Yixue beside her to keep her company.
“Prince!” When Ciel had already arrived in front of her, she had no other choice but to greet him in a soft voice.
“How about we go inside, I’ll prepare some food and drinks for you to thank you for helping me,” she said.
At first she was a little embarrassed that too many people were watching, so she wanted to get out of there, and there was no way she could leave without inviting Ciel.
Although there was a special relationship between them, still she felt that she was not so used to being completely separated for eight years. That ultimately made her tone to Ciel when she invited him sound like a formality.
Ciel nodded with a faint smile to her, not objecting to her suggestion.
After that, he followed Jian Wuxin to the main house in the Jian Clan.
It was only a wooden house, but it had a considerable size.
Ciel was greeted by all the elders and youngsters of the Jian Clan, but they all did not follow Ciel and Jian Wuxin into the house.
They understood that they had a special relationship, so following them would only disturb good things.
Each of them was an adult, so their affairs should not be interfered with.
Of course, all the Jian Clan members were confused as to how Jian Wuxin had a relationship with Ciel. When did they start the relationship?
Although Elder Meng knew of the meeting between Ciel and Jian Wuxin, she unfortunately didn’t see when they started the relationship.
Jian Wuxin walked in front while Ciel followed behind.
Although Jian Wuxin’s appearance was not so neat, she was still an indescribable figure in Ciel’s eyes.
In no time, Ciel and Jian Wuxin entered the house.
“Prince, please take a seat!” said Jian Wuxin, leading her hand to the sofa in the center of the living room.
Ciel sat down without hesitation, following what she asked.
“I’ll get some drinks,” she added before trying to step away.
However, before her foot could step on the floor, Ciel suddenly said, “don’t be so tense, we are husband and wife, try to be like you were eight years ago.”
For a moment, Jian Wuxin’s face froze at Ciel’s words.
Even so, she did not stop, she continued to pace while her lips pressed together.
She realized that she looked too shy, which didn’t match her nature as a sword cultivator.
When she went to the back room, she vowed not to look shy anymore.
She strengthened her resolve.
Ciel only smiled as he watched her leave.
He leaned back on the sofa, enjoying the flow of spiritual energy in his body.
A different sensation could be clearly felt when he had much greater strength.
Perhaps this is similar to the sensation that mortal humans feel when they get richer.
With such sensations, it is difficult for people to stop pursuing something greater.
Jian Wuxin apparently returned quite quickly, carrying a tray with a cup on it.
The cup contained a magical-looking drink.
Ciel didn’t know what it was, but just the aroma was enough to make him feel very refreshed.
When observed, Ciel found many visual phenomena in the drink.
Sometimes he saw lightning dragons smashing into each other with fire dragons, creating violent explosions.
Sometimes he saw infinite space with countless stars.
Of course, it was all less exciting when compared to Jian Wuxin who now looked like she had just finished bathing.
Her hair was a bit wet when it was put up in a very neat bun.
Her dress had changed, now she was wearing a tight white kimono dress so that every curve of her mature body was visible in a charming way.
She looked calm. Even when her eyes met Ciel’s, she didn’t try to shy away.
She then placed the cup she was carrying in front of Ciel.
“Have a drink, it’s very good for you,” she said in a soft voice as she sat across from Ciel.
“What is this drink?” asked Ciel as he took the cup.
He was rather curious because right after he held the cup, he even felt the flow of energy from the cup enter his body, and that energy seemed to purify the energy inside his body.
“Honestly, I don’t know either. It’s my father’s relic, something he found in space,” Jian Wuxin replied.
“So far, it’s provided real benefits. In our Clan, only very meritorious people can drink it.”
“Is my merit enough to drink it?” asked Ciel in response, laughing softly.
“I’m sure everyone agrees that your merit is the greatest under my father,” Jian Wuxin replied.
“And that’s enough to marry your father’s daughter, right?” Ciel laughed again.
Those teasing words made Jian Wuxin roll her eyes, but she still tried to remain calm.
Actually, Ciel’s words made a lot of sense to her. At the very least, Ciel’s favor had really managed to touch her heart.
Meanwhile, Ciel began to drink the drink, quite slowly as he tried to savor the sensation.
As Jian Wuxin had said, he had to admit that it really did provide great benefits.
He felt so energized, like a volcano that was in a state of readiness to explode that if he fought, he unleashed a terrifying attack with a single move.
Of course, it was also beneficial for desire.
When desire is in a high state, it drives desire higher.
Ciel didn’t know whether Jian Wuxin knew about that or not.
“Have you only cultivated in these eight years?” Jian Wuxin suddenly asked, apparently she wanted to start a chat.
“Yeah, I fused with the Holy Pagoda Flame, the Holy Light Flame, and the Holy Bone Flame. The process took eight years and I was completely unaware. Otherwise, there’s no way I’d keep quiet if I knew you were being bullied by so many people,” Ciel replied.
Although Jian Wuxin tried to calm down, it was difficult for her to remain calm while Ciel’s words almost always touched her heart.
She was also in a very touchable state due to her suffering and then being rescued at the most critical time.
“Are you angry that I came late?” Ciel asked her.
This was a difficult question for Jian Wuxin to answer because in reality she was angry.
“At least you came before I died,” she replied.
In the end, she could only say that.
Apparently, the sky slowly darkened while they were chatting.
It was starting to get late as it was already afternoon when Ciel and the others arrived.
“Wuxin!” Ciel called out to the woman.
The woman replied while raising her eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”
“Where is your bedroom, I want to take you there,” Ciel replied calmly.
Jian Wuxin’s expression couldn’t help but freeze when she heard that.
Fortunately she managed to maintain her composure.
“Are you always so blatant?” she asked Ciel.
“Yeah, I’m always straightforward with my wife,” Ciel replied.
“Miss Mu is right,” Jian Wuxin said in a low voice.
“Did she say anything?” asked Ciel after hearing her words.
In response, Jian Wuxin shook her head, choosing not to answer because the women’s conversation did not need to be told to the man.
Ciel didn’t wait for her to answer either.
He appeared beside the woman without moving. His hand held hers while his face was fixed on hers.
Although there was a considerable distance between their faces, he could still inhale the fragrant scent of her breath.
Jian Wuxin’s heart was beating hard. She would have panicked if she had no experience in the past.
Fortunately at that time she had already had an experience where Ciel kissed her and even had his hands on her breasts.
Without saying anything, one of Ciel’s hands went to her back while his other hand slipped under her knee.
When he stood up, her body lifted up with him.
Even without using spiritual power, Ciel could easily lift her body as it was really very light.
Jian Wuxin was somewhat embarrassed so her eyes looked the other way. 𝒐𝑽𝗅xt.𝓬𝚘𝔪
When Ciel followed her gaze, he discovered that she was actually staring at a door.
Ciel instantly guessed that it was her bedroom door.
He then stepped over to it but with his eyes on her face.
Jian Wuxin did not continue to stare in the other direction either. She still gazed towards Ciel’s face so that their eyes met.
Staring at Ciel in such a position, she had to admit that this man’s face was very attractive. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce her heart, instilling a feeling called love.
“Wuxin, you’re so beautiful!” Apparently, Ciel was giving her compliments.
He seemed mesmerized by her so then his hand touched her face, caressing it gently.
The sensation of his hand’s touch quickly made Jian Wuxin’s neck blush.
This wasn’t because she was embarrassed, but it was because the touch awakened the fire hidden within her body.
