For the next two days, Zhou Xuan did not leave the Lu family's residence.
Aside from eating and sleeping, he spent most of his time accompanying Lu Ling'er.
Zhou Xuan realized that since bidding farewell to his master and arriving in Cangyun City, he had been constantly busy with various matters, neglecting to spend time with Lu Ling'er.
Although the young girl never complained, as her boyfriend, Zhou Xuan felt a sense of guilt.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that his strength had disappeared and he couldn't venture out, he decided to dedicate as much time as possible to accompanying this young lady.
This was his way of making up for his neglect during this period.
"Brother Xuan!"
"Do you know?"
"I've been thinking these past two days!"
"If you didn't have any so-called profound cultivation!"
"And if I were just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family!"
"You wouldn't have any deep-seated grudges to avenge!"
"And I wouldn't have any family scheming to deal with!"
"If we had met and gotten together in such a peaceful manner!"
"And then lived out our lives in simple happiness, wouldn't that be wonderful!"
"Because I truly wish you could be by my side like this every day!"
"But I also know that this is impossible!"
"Because I understand that you have responsibilities and a mission that you must shoulder!"
"The deep-seated enmity of the Zhou family has always weighed on your shoulders!"
"Although I wish I could help you bear some of that burden!"
"I lack the ability to do so!"
"All I can do is stay by your side!"
"To encourage you and take care of you!"
"So, if in the future, you encounter situations like before!"
"Can you promise me not to leave me alone?"
"Even if I can't help you with anything!"
"But if someone were to harm you, at least I could block a blow for you, couldn't I?"
"You silly girl!"
In the Lu family's courtyard, Zhou Xuan looked at Lu Ling'er, who was leaning on his shoulder.
He couldn't help but pull her into his embrace.
Meeting such a wonderful girl was a blessing from three lifetimes.
Just as Zhou Xuan was about to say something more to Lu Ling'er,
He suddenly felt something familiar returning within his body.
"True Qi!"
"My True Qi is back?"
After sensing it carefully, Zhou Xuan's face lit up with a look of ecstatic joy.
After two days of ordinary life, the True Qi in his body could finally be sensed again.
"Your strength has returned, hasn't it!"
"Then you must have something to do now, right!"
Sensing Zhou Xuan's emotional fluctuation, Lu Ling'er, who was in his arms, slowly sat up and asked softly.
"Yes!"
"But it's okay!"
"I promised to spend today with you!"
"It doesn't matter when I do things!"
"After all, what can be more important than my own wife?"
Hearing Lu Ling'er's words and seeing the lingering reluctance in her eyes,
Zhou Xuan gradually suppressed his excitement.
He then smiled and took Lu Ling'er's small hand.
"Alright!"
"Your words are enough!"
"Besides, you've spent enough time with me these past two days!"
"Although I can't help you with your tasks!"
"At least I won't be a hindrance to you!"
"Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it!"
"After all, I've decided to stick with you for life, and there will be plenty of time for you to accompany me in the future!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Lu Ling'er, though she wanted to agree,
Ultimately, she did not.
Instead, she gently pulled her hand out of Zhou Xuan's grasp, urging him to go about his business.
Because she knew that this was not the time for sentimental talk.
Zhou Xuan had responsibilities and a mission he had to fulfill.
She did not want to become a burden to Zhou Xuan.
Even if it meant delaying him for just one day.
"Ling'er, you..."
"What are you 'you'ing about!"
"Really!"
"Go quickly!"
"You're a grown man, yet you're so hesitant!"
"If you don't leave, I'll personally kick you out!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan about to say more, Lu Ling'er directly interrupted him.
"Okay!"
"Then after I finish what I need to do!"
"I'll spend proper time with you again!"
"Oh, and one more thing!"
"Muah!"
Seeing Lu Ling'er's resolute expression, Zhou Xuan knew she didn't want to make things difficult for him.
His heart warmed, and after speaking,
Zhou Xuan pulled Lu Ling'er into his arms once more.
Then, catching her off guard, he planted a kiss on her cherry-like lips!
"Brother Xuan, you..."
"You rogue!"
By the time Lu Ling'er reacted, her face flushed with embarrassment,
Zhou Xuan had already slipped away, a considerable distance from her.
"Hehe, who wouldn't when their wife is so beautiful!"
"Wife, wait for me at home!"
"I'll come back to accompany you after I finish my business!"
Hearing Lu Ling'er's slightly annoyed voice from behind,
Zhou Xuan waved goodbye with a laugh and quickened his pace to leave.
"Hmph!"
"He's really such a blockhead!"
"If you wanted to kiss me, you could have just said so!"
"It's not like I wouldn't let you!"
"Why resort to such a sudden sneak attack!"
"It caught me completely off guard!"
"But I have to admit!"
"Having such small surprises occasionally is quite thrilling!"
Looking at Zhou Xuan's receding back,
Lu Ling'er stood rooted to the spot, playfully complaining about Zhou Xuan's sudden kiss,
While also savoring the feeling of it.
Indeed, a girl in love
Is truly a cute and mysterious creature!
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan, having "escaped" from Lu Ling'er,
Immediately sought out Hei Hu, who was still asleep.
After waking him up and confirming that his strength had also recovered,
Zhou Xuan ordered him to gather his subordinates and wait for him outside the Lu family residence.
Subsequently, Zhou Xuan went to the living quarters of the Tian Dao Martial Arts Hall group.
There, he found their hall master, Xie Feng.
"Hall Master Xie, my strength has been restored!"
"However, I might need to trouble you to guard the Lu family again today!"
"Because I have some urgent matters to attend to!"
"You're going to seek revenge against the Li and Wang families, aren't you?"
"Alas, I know nothing I say now can dissuade you!"
"Then I wish you a smooth operation!"
"Rest assured, I will guard the Lu family for you!"
"Unless I die in battle, no one will ever be able to threaten the safety of the Lu family members!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's solemn expression!
Xie Feng, knowing what he intended to do, could only sigh slightly.
He then patted his chest, assuring Zhou Xuan.
"Thank you very much!"
"Also, I'd like to borrow Xie Feng Yi for a moment!"
"Borrow me?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Xie Feng Yi, standing beside Xie Feng, looked confused.
"That's right, you!"
Ignoring Xie Feng Yi's bewildered expression, Zhou Xuan simply gave him a somewhat mysterious smile.
Then, he grabbed his arm and quickly ran out of the Lu family residence.
Watching the two of them depart, Xie Feng knew that
Zhou Xuan's revenge operation was about to officially begin!
