Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Parting, Really Alone? (Request for Follows and Monthly Votes)

“I suspect it’s related to the unrest in Duanbei City with the Demon Clan.”

“Family Head has already departed for Duanbei City ahead of us.”

Seeing his wife’s surprised expression, Gu Changge shook his head slightly.

“But…”

Liu Qingqing wanted to say something else, but she also knew that the Sect’s orders could not be defied, especially since she was not yet a Saintess, and her authority was not great enough to defy Sect instructions.

Through the open door, she also saw the Sixth Elder standing outside in the courtyard.

Naturally, the Sixth Elder, who was at the Heavenly Gate Realm, had heard Gu Changge’s words and nodded from a distance to indicate that things were as Gu Changge had stated.

“I understand.”

“Sixth Elder, please lead the other junior brothers and sisters to the Flying Boat first.”

“I will be there shortly.”

After speaking to the Sixth Elder, Liu Qingqing directly raised her hand, using her spiritual energy to close the door.

“Ah…”

“Talking about love is really troublesome.”

The Sixth Elder shook his head slightly and did not disturb the couple any further as they said their goodbyes; he turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Inside the house, Liu Qingqing’s mood was evidently low.

“I still wanted to further teach that Little Prince, but it seems I can’t keep up now.”

“Husband, remember, do not easily reveal that Elixir, since she is from the Imperial Family.”

“If she does not stand by your side and informs the Imperial Family about such treasures, it will cause endless troubles!”

She looked into her husband’s eyes, earnestly advising him.

“I understand.”

“Does my wife think I am a fool?” Gu Changge laughed.

“Quite a bit…”

“The other day, Husband took out so many Spirit-grade Elixirs; what if I reported it to the Heavenly Cold Sect?”

“The principle of ‘a man is not guilty but has sin by possessing a gem’ should be understood by Husband.”

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and nodded resolutely.

“…”

“Isn’t that trusting my wife?”

“See, my wife not only did not spread the news but also helped me.”

Gu Changge responded helplessly but still retorted.

Seeing him still staring at her, she had no choice but to nod repeatedly, promising that she would not easily let anyone know about the Elixir that could enhance the Root Bone and Comprehension!

Having received his promise, Liu Qingqing finally gave in.

She wasn’t afraid that Wang Yue would catch up to her after taking the Elixir; instead, she also hoped that she could become an aide and support for her husband, but that would first require ensuring she truly shared the same heart with her husband and was not a pawn of the Northern Domain Royal Family!

“I will become a Saintess as soon as possible…”

No need for many words in farewell, Liu Qingqing just stared into those eyes that were deeply etched in her heart.

“Wife will surely succeed speedily.”

“If there are any troubles where the Gu Family needs to step in, just tell me; don’t forget that your husband is now the Young Master of the Gu Family, with a very strong backing!” Gu Changge said while taking out the Communication Jade Talisman that the Family Head had given him before leaving, and waved it.

But Liu Qingqing’s face turned slightly red.

“Why are you blushing, my wife? I mean a strong background!”

Hearing his clarification, Liu Qingqing’s ears also turned red…

It wasn’t her fault for thinking otherwise; it was because her husband always spoke with such implications!

Nevertheless, she also took out her Communication Jade Token, lightly touched it, and exchanged their scents, enabling the two Jade Tokens to communicate with each other in the future.

“I… I am leaving now.”

“Husband must not neglect his cultivation, only to mingle with that Little Princess every day…” Liu Qingqing reminded him with a blush and her head bowed.

“My wife should not neglect her cultivation either,” Gu Changge laughed.

Liu Qingqing nodded like an obedient little wife and was about to push the door to leave.

“Are you just leaving without any fuss?”

Seeing this, Gu Changge cheekily said.

“What else does Husband want to…”

As she turned around, Liu Qingqing hadn’t finished her sentence when her words were suddenly blocked.

Moments later, as they parted, she took a couple of breaths.

“Now it’s alright.” Gu Changge opened the door, slightly side-stepped with a cheery gesture inviting her to exit.

As she walked out with her pretty face slightly blushed, she suddenly let out a yelp.

“…”

She then remembered the last time her husband said that, it seemed like he was planning to smack her bottom.

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

Outside, Wang Yue leaned against the column in front of the house, watching this scene and couldn’t help but make a sound.

Evidently, she had overheard their entire conversation and every move.

Liu Qingqing quickened her steps.

Accompanied by her husband, she left the Gu Family Mansion and arrived at the location where the flying boat was moored.

Once they boarded the flying boat, the other members from Heavenly Cold Sect had already gathered, and they immediately urged the boat to depart.

The two exchanged glances, and Gu Changge waved his hand with a light smile.

With a reluctant look at her husband, the flying boat, prompted by the elders and the deacon, soared into the sky.

“Sigh…”

“I can’t play with my wife every day for a while now.”

Although Gu Changge sighed, he hummed a tune as he turned to leave…

At least…

He no longer had to fret about how to ease the tension between the two wives!

It was indeed a bit more relaxing.

And…

Taking advantage of this time away from Duanbei City, he could work harder and maybe accumulate quite a few attribute points!

“It seems you’re quite happy that your sister has left…”

“Even humming a tune, huh?”

“Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be heartbroken if she sees you? Too bad we don’t have her Communication Jade Token. I can’t even tell her…”

Before he could return to the Gu Family Mansion, he passed by a tavern and heard a familiar voice from the window above.

Looking up, sure enough, it was Wang Yue, smiling with her eyes squinted at him.

“Forgot the rules that quickly?”

“Not even calling me ‘Husband’ anymore.”

Gu Changge casually replied as he looked up.

“Well then… Husband, could you please treat me to a meal?”

“I didn’t make food today. After wandering around a bit, I’m a bit hungry…”

Wang Yue leaned on the window, supporting her small face with her hands and blinking as she spoke.

For such a small request, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Coincidentally, the tavern Wang Yue had chosen was the same one he and Liu Qingqing had first visited, although the private room was not the same.

As he entered the tavern, he intended to keep a low profile, but he was recognized by a Gu Family steward from the waist card of the Young Master, who approached respectfully to greet him.

For a time, many in the tavern wanted to move forward…

Fortunately, he directly stated he did not want to be disturbed, and this allowed him to make his way to the private room.

Wang Yue waved her little hand and ordered a full eight dishes, but by the time the food arrived…

She lost interest after a few bites.

Claiming to be hungry was false, being at the Reach Profound Realm, she wouldn’t starve even if she didn’t eat for a month, normally just taking a Fasting Pill would suffice for a month.

“I’m not eating anymore, it doesn’t taste half as good as what Husband makes.”

“You won’t blame me for squandering money, will you?” Wang Yue put down her chopsticks, blinking her bright big eyes.

“Of course not, because I wasn’t planning to spend any money.”

Gu Changge shook his head slightly, serious.

“What? You’re making me pay the bill?”

“Not even treating me to a meal?”

“We’re married after all, even if we didn’t hold a wedding banquet, you can’t grudge this one meal!”

Wang Yue suddenly became anxious; she merely wanted to see his attitude towards her, not expecting him to be so stingy!

“No.”

“I’m taking you to skip the bill, so we don’t have to pay.”

Gu Changge’s tone was serious, not seeming like a joke, but Wang Yue was a bit confused.

What a joke!

The Young Master Gu, eating in a tavern in the Gu Family’s main city, skipping the bill!?

But facing his serious gaze, Wang Yue really was unsure…

“Really… skipping the bill?” Wang Yue asked weakly.

But no sooner had she asked than she was already pulled by her fair little hand and leaped directly from the window, soaring towards the Gu Family Mansion.

“…” Wang Yue felt numb, what was this!

A Little Princess of the Northern Domain and a Young Master Gu actually pulling off a dine-and-dash!?

In mid-air, Gu Changge buried her face in his chest.

Before she could struggle, he said, “Don’t move around; this way nobody can see you. Only I’ll be known for skipping the bill.”

“Why… Since you know it’s disgraceful, can’t we just pay the meal fee? That bit of food at most costs a low-grade Spirit Stone, right?”

Wang Yue didn’t know whether to thank him for considering her or to complain…

But she really didn’t want rumors to spread that the Little Princess of the Northern Domain had skipped a bill, so she simply buried her face in his chest, daring not to move. Being so close, she could even clearly feel his heartbeat.

Wait… it seemed like her heartbeat was fast because of the dine-and-dash.

Embarrassing, but it felt quite magical…

Feeling her settle down like a well-behaved little cat, Gu Changge cracked a slight smile and leisurely soared towards the Gu Family Mansion.

As for the so-called dine-and-dash, it didn’t exist. Under Gu Family rules, the city’s merchants could settle accounts with the Family every month.

The reason for not taking the usual route and flying away from the window was simply to avoid being surrounded by people offering compliments and wasting time!
