In the carriage.

Wu Jin kept his gaze outside, not saying a word the whole journey.

"It’ll get better with time."

Chen Xuan patted his shoulder. Leaving the place he had lived his whole life, leaving his only family, some sadness was inevitable.

"Is this the smell of the outside?"

Wu Jin withdrew his gaze and finally spoke his first words since leaving the Stone Cave.

But his words didn’t contain a trace of sadness for Chen Xuan; they even seemed a bit exciting.

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, thinking perhaps he’d read the situation wrong.

"Oh, by the way, what kind of woman do you like? I’ll keep an eye out for you."

Before their departure, Wu Guang had earnestly entrusted this task to him.

He asked for his help as this concerned the future of the Wu Family.

Chen Xuan certainly had no reason to refuse, as he had provided significant help this time at the Stone Cave.

"Huh?"

Wu Jin was a bit taken aback. "Really, there’s no need. I really don’t have any thoughts on that right now."

Women were something he genuinely didn’t need, no joke.

"Alright, I got it. I’ll just see how things go myself."

Chen Xuan didn’t care about his thoughts.

Growing up surrounded by men, although the Stone Cave had its own places of entertainment, to be honest, the quality of those women was too lacking.

Wu Jin might not have any thoughts now, but that’s because he hasn’t seen someone beautiful yet. When he does, naturally he’ll have thoughts.

Since ancient times, even heroes have struggled against the allure of beauty, let alone him!

Ten days passed in a flash, and Chen Xuan and his companions arrived at the Bright Moon Mansion.

On the way, Chen Xuan visited the Three Judicial Departments and, after a brief conversation with Lang Fei, hurriedly left the Bright Moon Mansion.

However, he parted ways with Liu Sheng because the messages to Xiaoqi weren’t getting through, probably because she was in seclusion, and thus he dropped the idea of going to the Imperial City.

Primordial Realm!

"Phew!"

"Finally back!"

Returning to his own domain, that damned sense of security finally returned.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Xuan’s face.

During this time in the Stone Race, he had to be cautious at every turn, although things got better later in the Stone Race Sacred Land.

"Eh, where is this place?"

At this moment, the long-quiet Spiritual Liquid unexpectedly spoke up.

The next moment, it seemed eager to come out of the Dantian.

The spiritual power within Chen Xuan’s body stirred slightly, instantly dragging it out of the Dantian.

The miniature Spiritual Liquid surveyed the Primordial Realm, took a long breath, and then focused its gaze directly on the direction where Xiaoyuan was located.

"A newly born realm!"

"No, that’s not it!"

"This aura is very ancient, it must have been slumbering for a long time."

Chen Xuan was quite surprised, not expecting it to discern a lot about the Primordial Realm at a glance, even pinpointing Xiaoyuan’s location.

"Didn’t expect you to have such great fortune!"

The Spiritual Liquid looked at Chen Xuan, finding this member of the Human Race increasingly inscrutable.

Spirit and Martial Dual Cultivation, Double Five Realm, a body like jade and bone, and even initiating the cultivation method of the Sacred Body, now possessing an ancient realm as well.

Each of these factors alone would make him an outstanding genius.

"What? Do I not deserve it?"

Since his Telepathy leveled up last time, he found it increasingly easier to see through people.

Even an entity like the Spiritual Liquid, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, he could see through in an instant.

"You’re terrifying!"

The Spiritual Liquid looked seriously, slowly speaking.

"Whether I’m terrifying doesn’t matter, what’s important is your loyalty. I’m always generous to those who are mine."

"Perhaps this is also my opportunity!"

Chen Xuan found this statement quite peculiar.

"Can I go to its side and cultivate for a while?"

Seeing the confusion on Chen Xuan’s face, the Spiritual Liquid explained, "I feel it’s quite unique, its aura is very ancient, and perhaps by its side, I can recover quickly. This would also help you cultivate your Sacred Body!"

Chen Xuan thought for a moment; the life and death of the Spiritual Liquid were within his thoughts, and the Primordial Realm was under his control, so nothing should go wrong, and he nodded, "Go ahead!"

"Thank you very much!"

The Spiritual Liquid gave Chen Xuan a deep bow, and only then did it truly acknowledge Chen Xuan as its master.

Then, transforming into a white light, it flew towards Xiaoyuan’s direction.

...

At sunset.

Chen Xuan returned, and the women were very happy. Ning Xin and the others prepared a table full of his favorite dishes for him.

"Husband, try this?"

Lan Meng’Er picked up a piece of tender tofu and placed it in his bowl, crab roe tofu, her specialty dish.

Chen Xuan picked it up, the white and tender tofu trembling between the chopsticks, yet showing no signs of breaking apart, and he praised, "Not bad, you’ve improved!"

Then he placed it in his mouth and began to savor it slowly.

"Hmm... It’s above your usual standard, delicious!"

He nodded with satisfaction.

Just from this dish alone, her cooking skills were now on par with Ning Xin’s.

"As long as my husband likes it, it’s enough."

Lan Meng’Er’s eyes were full of smiles. While Chen Xuan was not in the Primordial Realm, having nothing else to do, she delved into culinary arts, explaining her substantial progress.

"Cultivation has also improved!"

Already at the Mid-Stage Profound Realm, it seemed the last time he helped her cleanse her marrow was quite effective.

"Haha!"

Lan Meng’Er smiled lightly, "Thank you, husband."

Then, the other women each took turns serving Chen Xuan, each offering their signature dish.

With a sip of Monkey Wine and a bite of food, Chen Xuan ate the meal very happily and with great contentment.

What could be more blissful than this?

If it weren’t for the troubles of the place of burial and the Lower Realm, he might have indulged in this forever.

"By the way, how did your journey go this time?"

Ning Xin picked up a napkin and gently wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, asking softly.
