After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 83 - So thats how it is

Chapter 83: So that’s how it is

They slept until late at night before Jiang Huai groggily opened his eyes.

Bai Li was holding him tightly in her arms, her body curled up. In a way, this was a particularly strong display of insecurity.

Although they had known each other for over two years, Jiang Huai didn’t know much about Bai Li’s past. He only knew that Bai Li was a demon from the Western Region, but why she came to the Eastern Region? It seemed that Bai Li had mentioned in passing that she was fleeing from a marriage.

Her clan’s chief wanted to marry her off to the dragon clan and have a few children with dragon bloodline after receiving the dragon clan’s favor, and Bai Li felt too stifled, so she set a big fire in the snake clan and ran away in the chaos, ending up in the relatively safe Eastern Region.

(TLN: Dragon here means long chinese dragon.)

Bai Li’s talent for cultivation was not low. She was only a year older than Jiang Huai but had already reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul middle stage. The demon clans of the Western Region did not have a quality division for Core Formation, it was mostly about bloodline. She seemed to have a trace of the ancestral serpent bloodline, which was why she was chosen to marry into the dragon clan. After all, ordinary Serpent Clan members couldn’t even withstand the explosive power of the dragon bloodline to bear offspring.

She also used a sword, and the two often sparred with each other. Her talent in the Way of the Sword was slightly inferior to Jiang Huai’s. In the realm of swordsmanship, Jiang Huai had not yet encountered a more terrifying genius.

Bai Li was carefree and unceremonious in her daily life, enjoying teasing him. Because they had no fixed abode in the secret realms, Jiang Huai liked to find a cave with a big blanket, and the two often slept together. Bai Li used to like to revert to her true form while he was asleep, and when Jiang Huai woke up to find a big white snake in his arms, he would be spooked all morning.

Until one time, Jiang Huai, in a fit of anger, caught Bai Li in his arms and spanked her bottom hard until she was tearful, and she finally gave in and said she wouldn’t dare again. But Jiang Huai always felt her words weren’t the least bit credible.

Fortunately, Bai Li didn’t tease him this time.

The girl’s eyelashes trembled gently with her breath, and Jiang Huai looked at the girl in his arms seriously. If you ignored the fact that she was from the serpent clan, the girl she transformed into was indeed lovely. The demon clans of the Western Region were created by the Demon Ancestor ten thousand years ago. The Demon Ancestor realized that it was nearly impossible for demons to prove the ten realms under the Heavenly Dao. So, with the power of the nine realm perfected, he promulgated rules and decrees, allowing all demon clans to transform into human forms after cultivation, practicing as half-demons, which was much smoother than the pure demon path.

Every demon clan’s transformation was different. In Jiang Huai’s eyes, Bai Li was the cute type, with a face that had a youthful feel, delicate and fair, and white hair. She was a loli in body but a royal sister at heart, carefree every day, without the slightest air of a delicate girl.

And she was no fool. When it was time to trick someone, she was quite sinister.

Her face was still a little pale. Although Jiang Huai’s healing pills had cured her injuries, the injuries had affected her Qi and blood, and the loss was too great. She needed a good rest for a while.

…….

The secret realm of Burial Dragon Valley would open in two days, and the rain outside had stopped. It was time for them to set off tonight.

Jiang Huai reached out and gently patted Bai Li’s little butt, tightly wrapped in black silk pantyhose. Bai Li slowly opened her eyes and heard him ask.

“Can you get up?”

“Who are you looking down on?”

Bai Li suddenly climbed out of his arms, rubbed her eyes, and jumped off the bed. Then she looked back at Jiang Huai.

“I’ve even lost my shoes.”

Jiang Huai was at a loss for words for a moment, flipped through his system store, and conjured up a pair of black short boots for Bai Li. She sat on the bed to put on her boots, stood up, leaned on Jiang Huai, and entered silent mode.

After all, her tongue was too distinctive and would reveal her as a demon from the Western Region. If she encountered someone with ulterior motives, it would cause trouble.

Jiang Huai got up and went to the front desk of the Ziyun Inn to rent a spirit horse. The breed he rented was called Chengfeng, which could travel two thousand miles at night. Burial Dragon Valley was about three thousand miles away. Jiang Huai paid a hundred spirit stones and rented only one horse. Then Bai Li jumped on the colt and signed the reins, and Jiang Huai also leaped on the horse, holding Bai Li tightly in his arms in front.

He couldn’t ride a horse.

The night was misty, and Bai Li commanded the Chengfeng beneath her, the wind whistling past Jiang Huai’s cheeks, painfully cold. The girl in his arms had a soft waist. Bai Li’s body was overly flexible, as if boneless, able to assume any posture.

Jiang Huai rested his chin on her shoulder, “Thanks for the hard work.”

“After we get there, I want to eat grilled fish.”

“You can have as much as you want.”

Bai Li laughed.

……

Chengfeng traveled thousands of miles through the night until dawn began to break on the horizon, and the two arrived at the boundary of Yuelan Continent. There was also a Ziyun Inn here. Jiang Huai led the horse back to the inn and then rented a room. Both were exhausted. Once in the room, Bai Li took off her boots and got into bed. The two slept in each other’s arms, used to being each other’s pillows.

When Jiang Huai woke up, he felt a heavy pressure on his chest. He opened his eyes groggily to find Bai Li straddling him, pinching his face.

“Time to get up and hit the road.”

“It’s killing me.” Jiang Huai couldn’t help but murmur, and then Bai Li got off him. He got up with Bai Li and rented another horse from the Ziyun Inn. Bai Li still led the horse, and Jiang Huai held her slender waist tightly from behind. They left the territory of Yuelan Continent and arrived at the Rimian Continent of the Eastern Region.

Burial Dragon Valley was on the border of the Rimian Continent and would take about another day’s ride. This time, they didn’t rest and traveled non-stop. Along the way, seeing Bai Li was really tired, Jiang Huai tried to learn to ride a horse from her. Bai Li held him tightly from behind and soon fell asleep.

By evening, they finally arrived outside Burial Dragon Valley.

Burial Dragon Valley was a folded space secret realm that opened periodically. It was rumored to be the burial ground of a dragon and also the tomb of one of the nine-realm Immortal Venerable.

Many nine-realm Immortal Venerable would leave some gifts in the secret realms before they died, handing them over to the younger generation of cultivators. This had almost become an unwritten rule. Jiang Huai would ponder when he was bored, if he died as a nine-realm Immortal Venerable, how he would design his legacy secret realm to torment those young cultivators.

A temporary Ziyun Inn had also been opened outside Burial Dragon Valley. The Ziyun Inn itself was a crafted spiritual treasure that was easy to relocate. There was also a small Ziyun Pavilion outside Burial Dragon Valley, selling some necessary items for cultivators to venture into secret realms. Jiang Huai was so tired that he just wanted to rest. After renting another room, he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

“Aren’t you sleeping?” Jiang Huai glanced at Bai Li beside him.

“I can’t sleep a bit, I’ll rub a bit before sleeping.”

“Don’t do it on the bed. You’ll wet the sheets.”

Jiang Huai pulled the blanket over his face.

“Got it, got it, I’ll go to the chair.”

After a while, he seemed to hear Bai Li’s faint breathing.

Perhaps because of her serpent bloodline, she needed to release her desires from time to time. She had been restrained before, doing it quietly while Jiang Huai was asleep, but later, as she tested and discovered that Jiang Huai didn’t mind much, she became less restrained. She really didn’t treat him as an outsider.

Jiang Huai soon heard the sound of water being poured into the bathtub. Bai Li was probably taking another bath. After a while, her body snuck into the bed. Jiang Huai reached out to hold her, but his palm felt a soft and smooth touch. It seemed the same wherever he touched.

“Go put on your clothes.”

“Didn’t you say you’re not going to get excited because of me? Want to see my tongue again?”

Jiang Huai looked at Bai Li in the bed. Bai Li’s lips parted slightly, and the little forked pink snake swayed again. But suddenly, Jiang Huai had the strange thought that it was actually quite cute.

The next second, he pinched his thigh hard, “Maybe you should just go put on your clothes properly?”

“What if I revert to my true form, then I don’t need to wear them?”

“No, I’ll be too scared to sleep.”

“Why are you still so cowardly, hahaha.”

Bai Li laughed so hard in the bed that she couldn’t straighten her waist, her shoulders trembling. Jiang Huai couldn’t help but reach out and smack her bottom hard. He suddenly wanted to hit again.

Fortunately, the smack had an effect. Bai Li sat up, casually put on her cheongsam, and then snuggled back into the bed, her head buried in his chest,

“Sleeping, sleeping, so much fuss.”

“…”

Jiang Huai had no strength to argue, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and closing his eyes.

……

When they woke up again, it was morning.

Both had a good sleep. When Jiang Huai woke up, Bai Li was sitting on the bed getting dressed. Jiang Huai casually glanced at her and looked away. Damn, what was with this feeling of being an old married couple?

He suppressed the strange thoughts in his head, sat up, and saw a book about Burial Dragon Valley left by Ziyun Pavilion on the table. It was a rough map from previous explorations of Burial Dragon Valley, as well as some of the spiritual herbs, treasures, and the nine-realm Immortal Venerable who was buried in Burial Dragon Valley. What kind of laws he knew in life, what spiritual treasures he possessed, these were all likely to appear in Burial Dragon Valley.

Jiang Huai is usually the one responsible for looking at this kind of information. He acts as the strategic advisor for the duo’s exploration of secret realms, while Bai Li is in charge of wielding her sword by his side. Whatever Jiang Huai commands, she does without question, following his orders to the letter. After their adventures, they divide the treasures they find based on need, with spirit herbs typically being split fifty-fifty. Once Jiang Huai has refined them, he gives half to her.

“Speaking of which, where did you hide my sword?”

Jiang Huai turned to look at Bai Li, who had just finished putting on her stockings. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her feet clad in black silk, the toes stretching slightly and making the tips of her stockings even more transparent.

“I had to revert to my true form to escape, so I didn’t have anywhere to hide a ring,” Bai Li explained as she opened her mouth.

Jiang Huai watched her reach into her throat with her finger, her throat muscles moving as she pulled out a storage ring.

Bai Li took the ring, washed it in the basin, and then Jiang Huai’s Ye Ning sword was back in his hands.

The moment the Ye Ning sword was unsheathed, the room filled with sword qi. Jiang Huai grasped the sword, and in an instant, the sword qi dissipated into nothingness.

The Ye Ning sword was a spirit sword that Jiang Huai had tamed in a secret realm several years ago. The sword spirit was incredibly lazy, preferring to sleep most of the time. Jiang Huai tried calling out to it, but there was no response; it was probably asleep again. Jiang Huai stored the sword in his system backpack.

Bai Li carefully put the storage ring back on. This ring was a gift from Jiang Huai. In the Western Region, they used Qiankun bags for storage, which were not as convenient as rings.

“Did you hide it in your stomach?”

“No, just below the throat.”

“Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable?”

“It’s fine. The human form I take is different from yours. I can easily fit a ring in my throat.”

“Oh, I see,” Jiang Huai nodded thoughtfully.
