Chapter 220 Old Couple and Old Wife

Chapter 220 An Old Married Couple

Thinking his sister was joking or had used an invisibility talisman, he simply used his spiritual power to call out, "Yun Yi! Come out quickly, where are you?"

Yun Du called out in different directions, "Hey! Yun Yi..."

Inside the underground cave, Yun Yi seemed to hear her own name. She tried to get closer to the cave entrance and heard the sound faintly coming from there.

“Yun Yi… Yi…”

It really is! Yun Yi was overjoyed; it was her older brother and Yun Fei.

"Big brother, I'm underground..."

Her voice was loud, instantly startling the swarm of insects. The rustling sounds became even more eerie, and soon one insect fell to the ground with a "plop"...

The defensive artifact annihilated the poisonous insects that were raining down on her, and Yun Yi got goosebumps all over her body.

The cave twisted and turned, and the sound gradually carried out. Yun Yi looked excitedly at the cave entrance.

A moment later, a shadow blocked the light at the cave entrance, and Yun Du's voice came in, "Yun Yi? Are you in there?"

"Hey! Brother, there are so many poisonous insects in here, I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid! We'll save you right away."

A few breaths later, Yun Du and Yun Fei descended into the cave and saw Yun Yi surrounded by insects, pitifully holding up a luminous pearl, illuminated only by that small light source, surrounded by dark, poisonous insects.

The sight was somewhat amusing. Yun Du and Yun Fei exchanged glances, both conscientiously holding back their laughter.

Yun Du, being a few years older, cleared a path with a few sword strikes. Yun Fei carried a spirit lamp for illumination, and the two brothers walked to their sister.

Yunyi immediately threw herself into her older brother's arms, holding back her tears.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Yun Du felt both amused and sorry for her. He patted her back and said, "Alright, let's go outside and talk first."

Yun Fei was in charge of lighting, while Yun Du carried Yun Yi on his back, cleared a foothold with his sword, and then leaped out lightly in a few bounds.

This is a cave with a small entrance and a deep, winding interior; it took quite a bit of effort to get up here.

"Waaaaah..." Upon seeing the light of day again, Yun Yi squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Hahaha." Yun Du and Yun Fei looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. Yun Yi was both embarrassed and angry: "You... Waaah... You're laughing at me... Waaah..."

Yun Fei teased Xian cheekily, "Look at you now, you've become an ugly doll. Will you dare to run around like that next time?"

Yun Du glared at him, then patted Yun Yi's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't cry. You can't run around like that again next time. Also, you'll always be our little sister. Even though your cultivation level is like a noob's, I won't look down on you..."

After being glared at by her older brother, Yun Fei immediately composed herself: "That's right, don't cry, don't cry. Look at you, you still have to work hard to cultivate, and you can't even leave a cave..."

Yun Yi, her face streaked with tears, glared at him disdainfully: "You're one to talk! If it weren't for big brother, you wouldn't have gotten out! Humph!"

The cave was dozens of meters deep, which was indeed difficult for a novice, especially given the terrible environment.

Yun Fei choked, watching Yun Yi pull her older brother away. He followed behind, muttering, "Then I won't fall in either."

...

It took only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn for Yun Yi to run to her rescue.

On the other side, Leng Huan lost two out of three rounds. She felt that Fu Xun's restriction technique was very powerful, with each step of the trap and attack linked together. It took her some time to break free.

"Forget it, let's stop fighting. I can't beat you right away, and you won't lose right away either. If it really comes down to a life-or-death match, it won't be over until days and nights have passed."

"Yes, my wife is very capable." Fu Xun approached her. "Let's go find the children."

"Well, I don't really know how to train them. You can do it your way." Leng Huan looked at their clasped hands, realizing how quickly Yun Du had grown up. "Sigh, it feels more and more like we're an old married couple..."

Fu Xun nodded: "The children are very smart. Yun Du doesn't need to be worried. He's the eldest son, steady and reliable. As for the two younger ones, their temperaments are not yet stable, and they've been a bit lax in their cultivation. But it's not a big problem; they'll figure out what they want on their own."

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: "Also, you said we're an old married couple, that's true."

Leng Huan suddenly stopped and looked up at Fu Xun: "By mortal standards, we are already over fifty years old, and together we are over a hundred..."

"Let me ask you a question between husband and wife... It's like, cultivators often live for thousands of years. How do they manage to endure that long? Don't you find it boring, getting tired of seeing the same person all the time?"

She touched her chin. This amount of time is enough for an ordinary person to live several lifetimes. It's damn long.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xun looked at her for a moment. She was still stunningly beautiful. He suddenly asked, "Don't you find her interesting anymore?"

Leng Huan paused, kicking the sand, smacked his lips, glanced at him, and said, "I've noticed you're good at asking questions. Don't ask them next time."

Fu Xun spoke leisurely: "Oh, Leng Huan..."

"In the past ten years, I've only seen you three or four out of ten times. Where did you get the idea that I've been spending most of my time with one person?" His expression was a little strange.

Leng Huan scratched her face: "Okay, you've had a tough time taking care of the baby." She changed the subject: "Um, do you want to go into seclusion?"

Fu Xun shook his head: "No, it's not easy for the child to grow up."

What does this have to do with the child being older?

Leng Huan then asked, "So, are you going back to your sect?"

Fu Xun still denied it: "You only took a year to go from the late Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage, but it is truly astonishing to go from the Deity Transformation stage to the Body Integration stage in ten years. We should keep a low profile and it is not convenient to go back now."

"Yes, I'm afraid some people are already suspecting that I have some kind of secret treasure. Or they might think I got my cultivation through dual cultivation with you, tsk! Not good, not good..."

"...We are Daoist partners, which is a very proper thing, so why do you say it like that... Never mind, Sect Master Ji keeps wanting me to go back and succeed her, but I think it's too early."

"Hehe, so what are you planning to do in the future? The kids have had enough of the ice fields."

“My wife, I plan to take the children on a trip to the Northern Sea Continent. This will give us a legitimate reason to return to the sect later, no matter how much our cultivation level changes.”

Leng Huan thought it made a lot of sense. "Alright, Yun Du is about to form his core. The two siblings' foundations are not stable. Let them go out and see the world so they can cultivate properly."

Fu Xun led her onward: "Yes, you can only enter the tower space to cultivate after you have formed your core."

Leng Huan smoothed her middle-parted hair, which had been messed up earlier, and tied it into a half-up style with a white hairband.

Today she was dressed in a rare white gown, embroidered with subtle snowflake patterns, exuding elegance and making her seem even more unapproachable.

Fu Xun embraced her, rolled up his dark red sleeves, and the two were teleported directly to the rock where Yun Du and his siblings had stayed behind.

Upon closer inspection, Leng Huan realized that several children were missing. Startled, she prepared to send a telepathic message to search for them, but Fu Xun suddenly stopped her, saying, "It's alright, they're looking for Yun Yi. It's a good opportunity to strengthen the bond between siblings."

Leng Huan, with his powerful spiritual energy, carefully investigated and discovered that Yun Yi's aura was underground. "That unlucky kid, how did she end up underground?"

Fu Xun narrowed his eyes: "Yun Yi has a rather strange temper. I don't know who she takes after. It's good to teach her a lesson. As for Yun Fei..." He glanced at Leng Huan but didn't speak.

Yun Fei's impulsive and sarcastic personality is just like hers.

Actually, Yun Yi looks a bit like her. However, Fu Xun wisely didn't say it out loud.

Leng Huan shrugged: "Each of us is responsible for our own actions, and we must also take responsibility for any losses we incur."

Fu Xun chuckled.

"you're right."
