Chapter 296: Sword Immortal Sister, Are You Here to Get Beaten Again?
The next day.
Chen An bid farewell to everyone, big and small, at the orphanage, and embarked on the journey to the capital with Lin Jingq.
It was actually quite good to travel around. After all, there were still many places on Blue Star that he hadn’t visited.
It was bound to bring some novel experiences.
It was like starting cultivation all over again, and Chen An often had completely different experiences compared to his first time cultivating.
However, when he thought of Chen Xi, Chen An was a bit troubled.
Chen Xi was a mortal without cultivation aptitude, so she naturally couldn’t go to Mount Longhu with Chen An.
But Chen An was a little uneasy about leaving Chen Xi alone at the orphanage.
What if someone like Zhang Asi appeared again?
Therefore, after thinking for a minute, Chen An decided to leave a contingency.
He spent several days setting up a total of eighty-one layers of formations around the orphanage.
Then, while Chen Xi was sleeping, he sneaked into her room and planted seven layers of imprints within her body.
Each of these seven imprints corresponded to a sword energy, with each layer being stronger and more enduring than the last.
Although the power was limited by Chen An’s current Qi Refining stage cultivation, it was still easy to deal with cultivators below Foundation Establishment.
As long as he didn’t encounter a pervert like Luo Cong’an, there shouldn’t be any accidents.
This way, everything would be foolproof.
Of course, the most important thing was the eighty-one formations, which were interconnected and covered the entire orphanage.
And they were personally set up by Chen An, a former Mahayana Immortal. The formations were incredibly ingenious and complementary to each other.
It was said that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could only be in awe-inspiring.
However, Chen An was still somewhat dissatisfied. If he hadn’t been unable to find any usable formation materials, he could have easily perfected the formations by another thousand or hundred layers on the spot.
He prioritized being steady.
After all, if he had to say who occupied the largest portion of Chen An’s heart now, it was undoubtedly this girl he had depended on since childhood.
…
…
In the depths of the mist, unknown to anyone.
Su Chichi’s story continued.
But compared to the forced memories, the immersive sense of reality made her feel more pain.
Because this was everything she had actually experienced herself.
However, what made her a little confused was that the voice that had been echoing in her mind had inexplicably disappeared during this time.
Su Chichi felt no relief. Instead, she felt an unspeakable tension.
She also had a strange feeling.
Given how much that person valued Chen An, they would not stand by and watch that man die.
There must be something she didn’t know…
…
…
Shenzhou.
After leaving Luoyang, Chen An continued his journey with Su Chichi.
They traveled south, visiting many cities, from the bustling Capital to small towns tucked away in corners.
During this time, the incident of a great demon harming people in Luoyang had also spread like wildfire throughout the Qin Kingdom.
Even when Chen An stopped for tea at a roadside teahouse, he could always hear people discussing it.
For example, how vicious that demon was to harm “father” Ji Yun, who had raised her for so many years.
Some also said that the demon at least had a shred of conscience left, not killing everyone completely.
This was because most of the information people were discussing now was passed down by word of mouth from those who had escaped the manor at the time.
But no matter what, when they mentioned the former second young lady of the Ji family, the fox demon, everyone’s expression would become a little fearful.
This was because even the chief of the Zhengqing Sect, Fairy Qingli, had suffered a defeat against this fox demon.
You must know that she was a true prodigy of the younger generation, a prodigy who could fight against Golden Core cultivators with her Foundation Establishment cultivation and possessed rich combat experience.
She was not a naive novice who knew nothing.
Since she had descended the mountain to gain experience, she had slain countless demons and monsters, never expecting to suffer her first defeat in Luoyang.
Outsiders only said that the fox demon’s cultivation was profound and its strength astonishing.
Only Chen An, who knew the inside story, would often chuckle upon hearing this.
However, he soon couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because a woman in a sky-blue dress and a veil sat down at his table.
Beside him, Su Chichi’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, “Sword Immortal Sister, are you here to get beaten again!”
Hearing this, Qingli Chu’s lips twitched slightly beneath her white veil.
Her full chest rose and fell, but in the end, she only stared at Chen An and uttered two cold words.
“Again.”
Chen An was very helpless.
Ever since the incident at the Ji Manor, the woman had been relentlessly pursuing him. No matter where Chen An went, she would follow him and challenge him to a fight.
Although she was beaten black and blue every time.
Chen An knew that she wasn’t fighting for anything else, but just for a bit of pride.
Not anger, but a sense of unwillingness to be defeated.
Chen An tried to reason with her, “Look, it was the fox demon who killed people, not me. Besides, when I subdued you back then, I only tied you up with a rope and didn’t do anything out of line.”
“Even if you want to wash away your shame, you shouldn’t be holding me accountable, right?”
But the woman simply drew her long sword, a hint of shame and anger flashing in her eyes.
“How dare you bring that up again!”
“If you had killed me with a single sword, fine. But you had to use that damn rope…”
Qingli Chu didn’t finish her sentence, because as she recalled the series of things the fox demon had done to her in the annex, she couldn’t help but tremble all over.
Chen An raised an eyebrow, “What, is there something wrong with that rope?”
The only response he received was a bright sword light.
…
…
Three years after finding Su Chichi.
Chen An traveled with her, visiting mountains and rivers, and finally reached their intended destination.
A secluded valley.
It was nestled beside mountains and water, with a tranquil environment and lush greenery everywhere.
It was an excellent place for quiet cultivation.
Chen An felled trees, fetched water, built a house, and opened up a cave mansion on a nearby peak, deciding to live there long-term.
Su Chichi once curiously asked why they had traveled so far to this place.
Chen An was silent for a moment before replying, “It’s all destiny.”
What is destiny?
Young Su Chichi didn’t understand. She just tilted her head, thinking that her Master must have been hit on the head by the Sword Immortal Sister during their fight.
Otherwise, why had he become more and more cryptic lately?
Just like those street performers holding signs, talking about destiny and fate.
For the next month, they settled down here, and Chen An officially began to teach Su Chichi cultivation.
After wandering for three years, even the lively Su Chichi couldn’t help but feel a little tired.
Therefore, she did not resist the current calm life.
In fact, she gradually began to like the feeling of cultivating in the valley.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the secular world, she saw the person she wanted to see every day and could do whatever she wanted. Her Master never forced her to cultivate; everything was up to her preference.
But given Su Chichi’s heaven-defying talent, her progress was still incredibly rapid compared to ordinary people.
Chen An was not surprised.
A villain chosen by the Heavenly Dao was destined to stir up a storm in the future. How could they be ordinary?
