Chapter 461: Chapter 459: Jiang Qingge: You Got Two Mortal Realm Bodyguards for the Jiang Family?! Discovering the Scent on Lu Ye...

When Jiang Qingge swiftly approached Lu Ye, her expression suddenly changed.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Jiang Qingge seemed to detect a faint, elusive scent on Lu Ye.

It didn’t resemble makeup or perfume; rather, it seemed like... a woman’s natural fragrance?

In that instant, a subtle sense of crisis spread in Jiang Qingge’s heart.

It was as if she was guarding a gold mine that others constantly eyed.

"Oh, you’ve reached the Grandmaster Fifth Layer? Your advancement speed is quite fast."

Looking at Jiang Qingge’s latest realm, Lu Ye was genuinely surprised.

After not seeing her for a few months, she actually broke through two or three sub-realms consecutively.

No, it should be said, she regained the power of those two or three former sub-realms.

Coming to her senses, Jiang Qingge smiled slightly. A few years ago, he would only ask if she needed medicine; now he was already praising her.

Progress, significant progress.

"It’s all thanks to you, my husband. Ever since you took me to that Black Forest Swamp and discovered something, I feel that my cultivation speed hasn’t slowed down at all, even in the Grandmaster Realm. It seems much faster than others." Jiang Qingge explained her situation.

The credit of the Empress’s origin, perhaps...

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye asked, "Have you recently felt like going to places similar to the Black Forest Swamp?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingge thought seriously, then shook her head.

When Lu Ye showed a hint of disappointment, she continued, "However, I have a premonition that when I break through above the Grandmaster, it seems like I’ll receive some information again."

Jiang Qingge felt a bit embarrassed as she admitted, "But I’m not sure if this premonition is accurate."

Her words were unintentional, but they had meaning to the listener. Lu Ye’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing Jiang Qingge’s words.

Jiang Qingge still didn’t know her own identity.

So she was uncertain about her premonitions, but Lu Ye knew.

Generally, these premonitions are almost always accurate nine times out of ten.

Breaking through to the Grandmaster, entering the Mortal Realm, brings the chance to sense the second path of the Empress’s origin...

If that’s truly the case, being able to sense one’s own Power of Origin.

That would be much easier than blindly searching across the continent like a headless fly.

"You’ve been running around outside for so long. Come in and sit," seeing Lu Ye still standing near the cave entrance, Jiang Qingge quickly pulled him into the cave.

"Recently, there was also a message from my father,"

She continued after Lu Ye sat down, "He said that his dutiful son-in-law found two extremely powerful bodyguards for the Jiang Family..."

At this, Jiang Qingge also felt a bit speechless.

Initially, she thought the extremely powerful bodyguards her father mentioned were probably at the Innate Realm.

Going further than that might mean Martial Arts Grandmasters, which were already remarkable.

In the whole Northern Territory, which Innate Clan could afford Grandmaster Realm bodyguards?!

That was already a serious defiance of the heavens!

But unexpectedly, her father told her they weren’t Grandmaster bodyguards; the son-in-law sent him... were two Mortal Realm Grandmaster Level ones!

And both of them at once!

Hearing this news, Jiang Qingge was stunned on the spot, almost thinking she had heard it wrong.

It was only after reaching the Grandmaster Realm that Jiang Qingge knew how powerful Mortal Realm Grandmasters were.

And how rare they were in the Northern Territory.

Right now, within the Northern Territory on the surface, her husband was the only one!

The previous ones... were all mercilessly slain by her husband.

Two Mortal Realm Grandmasters as bodyguards, and not just ordinary Early Stage ones, but Middle Stage...

Honestly, even in her dreams, Jiang Qingge didn’t dare to imagine such an exaggerated setup of guards, dream of such magnitude!

But unexpectedly, it had already become a reality.

"Did he tell you too?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded slightly and said calmly, "Did he say anything else?"

"He did mention..." Jiang Qingge’s expression became somewhat complex as she glanced at Lu Ye and said.

"He also advised that I should never again bully you just because of your good nature. If he found out back home, he would break my legs..."

"Husband, I’m sorry. I really was unreasonable to you before."

Taking a gentle step forward, Jiang Qingge softly reached out, holding Lu Ye, with an expression of genuine apology on her cheeks.

"By the way... husband, why is there a woman’s fragrance on you? Is she a close sister? If convenient, perhaps you could bring her over to meet?"

Only then did Jiang Qingge finally seize the chance to ask the question she had been longing to ask.

A woman’s fragrance?

Lu Ye was also taken aback.

In an instant, he roughly guessed and couldn’t help but think of Youluo.

It was just something from a day ago, and he had bathed afterward; she could still smell it?

No wonder it’s said that women are simply geniuses at reconnaissance in certain aspects.

"No, perhaps I ran into a familiar friend along the way." Lu Ye thought for a moment and said.

"Is it Miss Lingxiang?" Jiang Qingge asked softly.

Actually... Jiang Qingge had long noticed.

That Miss Chen from Luohua City seemed to see her husband differently.

Including the previous Wang Family banquet in Qingshan City, her excitement upon seeing Lu Ye.

And several times after, Jiang Qingge could see with her woman’s intuition...

That Chen Lingxiang seemed to want to get handsy with her husband!

Only a sister with such a naïve personality wouldn’t have noticed that Chen Lingxiang came looking for her with just an excuse to see Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was stunned, how did this suddenly relate to Chen Lingxiang...

With others, he might hesitate, but with Chen Lingxiang, Lu Ye could stand tall and say that there was absolutely nothing unclean between them.

"Not Miss Lingxiang, by the way, has Lingyue contacted you later?"

Watching her husband naturally divert the topic, Jiang Qingge sighed inwardly.

If she had known a few years ago that this day would come, on their wedding night, she should have helped him change clothes, and then...

It wouldn’t have reached a point where they only had the name of a couple.

It wouldn’t even surprise her if someone else had gotten further than she had...

On this point, Jiang Qingge didn’t hold any grudge against Lu Ye.

After all, it was her who didn’t favor him before, and even when Lu Ye suggested dissolving the engagement, she refused.

Under those conditions, their relationship was practically nominal.

He was a normal man with needs, nothing strange to her about that.

Moreover, by now, Lu Ye’s strength had already become top tier in Xuanzhou.

Even ancestors of Innate Clans could take wives and concubines, establishing families.

Her husband, being one of Xuanzhou’s top cultivators, naturally would also have more than one confidante.

Jiang Qingge was curious about, if she were to gain sisters, who would they be?

It couldn’t be... that even a sister would have a chance, could it?!
