My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 57 - 051 Heavenly Dao Pursuer (2-in-1)

Xu Chang’an answered Senior Sister’s question, looking at her somewhat strangely, not knowing what was going on.

He had looked in the mirror this morning before leaving and didn’t feel that he had changed much, maybe just slightly paler.

Senior Sister stared closely at Xu Chang’an’s face for a while.

"It’s nothing, you go do your thing." She said, gently distancing herself and rejoining the group of women.

"..." Xu Chang’an touched his face in confusion, then shook his head and stepped onto the teleportation array towards Celestial Bright Peak, disappearing from sight.

As Xu Chang’an’s figure vanished, the women gathered together and whispered among themselves.

"How did he become so handsome?"

"You think so too? I thought I was seeing things..."

"He’s opened a source, what’s the fuss, it’s not like we’ve never seen an attractive man."

"She’s right, Junior Brother is just Junior Brother, no matter how he changes, I like him."

"What are you thinking, if you had to choose, is Junior Brother better handsome or ugly?"

"Of course handsome."

"Makes sense."

"I don’t really care, to be honest, I’m more interested in that crimson glazed jade on Junior Brother... it looks like a girl’s personal item, who gave it to him?"

"Senior Wen?"

"How is that possible? Senior Wen never wears accessories or uses makeup."

"Is it Junior Brother’s wife? I heard he brought his wife up the mountain."

"Ah, this..."

"You say, Junior Brother lives on Muyu Peak, won’t his wife... be jealous?"

Soul strike.

The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

——

Some people rely on themselves all their lives, when unable to rely, turn to nature, while others when they cannot rely on themselves, suddenly become someone else’s support.

By the warm water, fog gradually spread, though it was cold weather, the surrounding waves rippled, warm and comfortable... hot water continuously emerged, enveloping the girls.

In the room Xu Chang’an chose for Yun Qian, there was a small bath pool, which would naturally heat to a comfortable temperature after filling with water.

In the bathroom, a drop of water fell from the ceiling, melting on Yun Qian’s flushed shoulder, bringing a hint of coolness.

Miss Yun soaked in the bath, tilting her head to gaze into the distance through the window, yawning with a drowsy gaze.

So warm, it made one a bit weary.

Let’s sleep for a while.

She gently closed her eyes.

——

Soon after, someone entered Yun Qian’s boudoir, seeing the messy bedding on the couch, naturally tidied it up, found the clothing basket in the vestibule with inner garments mixed with long skirts, skillfully pulled out the small clothes, sorted them, and then passed through the thick mist, seeing the girl sitting in the pond with her head lowered.

"... "

The bathroom wasn’t large, the steam was hazy.

Xu Chang’an sighed, walked over, touched Yun Qian’s forehead lightly, seeing no response, he gently supported Yun Qian’s chin with his hand, slightly rocking her head.

"Miss, wake up."

"..."

Upon hearing Xu Chang’an’s voice, Yun Qian’s eyelids fluttered, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at the boy in front of her, tilted her head, her warm face resting in Xu Chang’an’s palm.

The kitten-like girl made Xu Chang’an pause, helplessly saying, "Good morning."

After speaking, Xu Chang’an was moved.

This wasn’t the first good morning.

Who else did he say it to?

Oh, this morning he was in a good mood, the first good mor... was thrown to the system.

"Morning," Yun Qian nodded, then sat up slightly, clearly still a bit foggy.

"How did you fall asleep in the bath..." Xu Chang’an was very worried, what if she accidentally fell into the water?

Although there was a disciple protection mechanism on Celestial Bright Peak, the feeling of suffocation wasn’t fun.

"I was tired." Yun Qian blinked and said, "I had a long dream last night, didn’t sleep well."

Dream?

Xu Chang’an suddenly felt a bit guilty.

He also had a dream, in the dream, Yun Qian was playing with mud.

"But you can’t sleep in the bathroom." Xu Chang’an said seriously.

"It’s okay." Yun Qian’s eyelids stuck together, not fully awake, she said in a sleepy tone, "I, I knew... you would come."

"..." Xu Chang’an paused, feeling something tug at his heart, he covered his face, "Didn’t I say three days."

"It wouldn’t be three days." Yun Qian thought for a moment, then said, "When I was living alone in Beisang City, you said you’d return in two months, but came back the next day."

"Ah... okay."

Am I completely seen through by Miss Yun?

There’s no way around it.

Even without any good news to tell Yun Qian, for her first day settling in a new place, he always had to come and take a look. Once Yun Qian got accustomed, he could focus on his own affairs.

Yun Qian sat in the pool, her long black hair slightly spread on the water, like ink dissolving.

Xu Chang’an bent down, lifted the long hair stuck to Yun Qian’s cheek, and asked, "Are you getting used to living here?"

"Mm," Yun Qian nodded, then said, "We can talk about other things later..."

She scooped a handful of warm water, splashed it on her face, slightly waking up, then opened her arms to Xu Chang’an, making a gesture for a hug, seriously said.

"Wash me."

"Got it." Xu Chang’an felt helpless but couldn’t refuse.

It’s something he had been doing since his days as a steward, he didn’t know how to refuse anymore.

...

The water shimmered, filling the room with mist. Xu Chang’an placed a wooden basin upside down for Yun Qian to sit on, gently tousling the top of her head with practiced hands of just the right pressure.

Yun Qian wrapped in a towel, whispered, "A little to the right."

She felt her husband’s fingers glide over her scalp... and squinted her eyes in contentment.

Compared to his initial clumsiness, Xu Chang’an’s technique became increasingly deft and skillful, able to find the spot that brought her the most comfort.

Suddenly, Yun Qian turned her head, looking at Xu Chang’an who was still in his Deacon’s Robe, using Spiritual Qi to ward off the moisture, and asked, "Aren’t you going to bathe too?"

Xu Chang’an massaged Yun Qian’s head, his fingers sliding over her eye sockets, and said, "Bathe for what, your husband is a cultivator."

"Before..." Yun Qian pointed at him.

"Don’t bring up old accounts." Xu Chang’an coughed softly, "I’m not bathing today."

"Oh." Yun Qian nodded, no longer making requests, focusing on enjoying her husband’s service.

...

The shampoo she used was quite refined, made from crushed soapwort, polygonum, and tea seeds blended together, keeping her hair black, thick, flake-free, and itch-free.

Since Xu Chang’an personally made her this hair cream, she even took it with her up the mountain, feeling uncomfortable using store-bought ones.

Xu Chang’an casually picked up a lock of Yun Qian’s hanging hair, feeling it slip through his fingers, a sense of reluctance welled up in his heart.

"Are you here to make breakfast for me?" Yun Qian lowered her head, then said, "I’m a bit hungry."

"Can’t I have other reasons?"

"Hungry."

"Got it, I’ll make you something to eat soon... Close your eyes, I’m going to rinse." Xu Chang’an said, supporting Yun Qian’s head to make her look up.

As clear water mixed with the foamy hair cream fell, Xu Chang’an held Yun Qian’s delicate face, staring at it in a daze for a while.

So beautiful.

Maybe... we should bathe together?

Cough.

Suddenly, Steward Qin’s words about not indulging flashed in his mind. Xu Chang’an fixed his gaze downward, calming his thoughts.

He opened the system panel, shifting his focus there.

[Celestial Dao Points +60000000...]

[Warning!]

[Celestial Dao Points +90000000...]

[Warning!]

Watching the system’s warnings flash on the screen, Xu Chang’an finally tore his thoughts away from his wife’s beauty, and counting the string of zeros following the Dao Points, he gradually calmed his inner excitement.

The system indeed had the function of distracting attention, which was quite nice.

He was a straightforward person, previously finding the system useless and annoying, but now that’s reversed.

——

At this point, Yun Qian, cradled by the dazed Xu Chang’an, had a subtle sparkle in her eyes. She gently shook her head, causing her hair to be tugged by Xu Chang’an’s hand.

"Ouch." Yun Qian bit her lip.

Xu Chang’an froze, immediately letting go and repeatedly apologizing.

Yun Qian didn’t mind much, she asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing." Xu Chang’an coughed dryly.

Yun Qian thought for a moment, and said, "You’re in a good mood today."

"Yes." Xu Chang’an smiled, "I’ll explain to Miss later."

Yun Qian thought about how Xu Chang’an was looking at her but thinking about the system, so she asked, "You always say you’re pursuing the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth, the Impermanence Dao... have you caught it yet?"

"Not quite." Xu Chang’an chuckled, "It’s like taking the first step in a journey of a thousand miles."

"I see." Yun Qian thought, as long as the system made Xu Chang’an happy, it was doing a good job. She turned around, stood up, and wrapped her arms around Xu Chang’an’s neck, "Is the remaining journey difficult?"

Hearing Yun Qian’s question, Xu Chang’an recalled an old saying.

A cultivator’s heart never dies, all is but illusionary fate.

But he still said,

"It shouldn’t be too hard."

"I don’t quite understand." Yun Qian calmly asked, "Do you prefer a road that’s easy or difficult?"

"What is Miss saying, I don’t get it." Xu Chang’an was puzzled. He tightened Yun Qian’s slightly loose towel, then realized he couldn’t follow Yun Qian’s line of thought.

"I ask, you just answer." Yun Qian looked at him.

Xu Chang’an thought Yun Gu wasn’t a fool; she should know the Dao he spoke of referred to cultivation, explaining, "The path of cultivation, whether easy or not, is long... It has to be taken step by step, just like food has to be eaten bite by bite."

"Indeed, food eaten too quickly can choke." Yun Qian said with experience, then extended a finger, "But a path doesn’t always have to be taken step by step, can’t cultivators fly?"

"Can you fly?" Xu Chang’an sighed.

"I can’t fly." Yun Qian said.

"Since Miss cannot, naturally I can’t either." Xu Chang’an said, "That’s why we have to be grounded."

"So when can you capture the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth, the Impermanence Dao you want?" Yun Qian had just finished speaking, when Xu Chang’an suddenly embraced her. She was stunned and then heard Xu Chang’an whisper in her ear.

"I first caught Miss, then together we will pursue it. This way... even a long journey can be quickened."

Husband and wife, partners in martial arts, partners in the Dao.

"..." Yun Qian blinked, giving Xu Chang’an’s back a gentle thump, "I’ll diligently cultivate, you don’t have to keep reminding me of it."

Xu Chang’an released Yun Qian, saying, "I simply want to cultivate with Miss, to pursue the Heavenly Dao together."

The cultivation path is arduous, but with someone by your side, it’s different.

"I understand, I’ll pursue it with you." Yun Qian nodded knowingly and then pointed to the loose button of her towel, "Help me scrub my back."
