Chapter 744 (2/2)

“Directly jumping up and skipping the Qi Refining Stage?”

Tang Xiu’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a few times. It was quite unbelievable and absurd at the same time, and yet he still had to accept it as a fact. Didn’t this mean that it was misfortune turning into a blessing for Xue Yu?

Xue Yu, on the other hand, was unaware of Tang Xiu’s thoughts. There was a smile on her flawless beautiful face as she said, “I should be counted as a cultivator now, right? When can you teach me some magical spells?”

“You can do it at any time if you want to learn it.” Tang Xiu could not help laughing. “However, you should first tell me about this medicated diet.”

Upon hearing his inquiry, Xue Yu’s face slightly changed as she replied in a low voice, “That… I’m really sorry. It was also my first time boiling this medicated diet hot pot. You looked horrifying before, and it was probably very dangerous for you. Are you all right now?”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, “Not only do I feel great but also greatly benefited from it. Originally, I thought that the medicated died would only have strong and potent medicinal force given how expensive its ingredients were, but I didn’t expect it to contain strange energy. It drove tremendous changes inside my body. It seems like there are indeed many good things in your Miao region!”

“Do you want to accompany me back?” Asked Xue Yu with a smile upon hearing it.

“I’m afraid I won’t have the time in the short term,” said Tang Xiu after he thought about it. “Wait until I’m done handling some matters! I’m going to Kanas again later since I have researched some points of the Six Starlight Array, so I might be able to make a new progress if I go there and see the array again. Maybe I can crack down this Six Starlight Array directly and take that Immortal Trove.”

“Take me with you when you go to Kanas,” said Xue Yu quickly. “I also want to see what objects are stored inside the Immortal Trove.”

“Alright!” Tang Xiu directly agreed.

Immediately after, both of them turned silent and the embarrassing atmosphere made them feel awkward, neither spoking as they did not know what to say. After some time passed by, Tang Xiu could not bear any longer and asked, “Shall we rest for a while?”

Xue Yu looked at the sky outside. She then nodded and said, “Alright. Will you accompany me?”

“OK!”

The two embraced each other and soon fell asleep.

It was unknown how long passed as the sleeping Tang Xiu was awakened by the buzzing noise of his ringing cell phone. Xue Yu, who was sleeping in his arms, opened her eyes and asked, “Someone is calling?”

Tang Xiu nodded, stretching out his hand to take the mobile. He saw that the caller was Kang Xia, and after connecting it through, he asked, “What’s up, Kang Xia?”

“We’re in Shanghai now, Boss. Where are you?” Said Kang Xia with a smile.

“Didn’t you say that you’d be here about two or three days later? How come you arrived in Shanghai today?” Tang Xiu stared blankly and asked in a baffled tone.

“Boss, are you confused or something?” Kang Xia was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh. “That was three days ago!”

Tang Xiu quickly looked at the date, finding that it was indeed three days later. He didn’t expect that drinking a bowl of medicated diet, experiencing a crisis, gaining benefits, taking Xue Yu as his woman, and taking a nap for a while turned out to have spent such a long time.

“Head straight to Bluestar Villa! I’m going there now.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up, Tang Xiu put the mobile phone on the bedside table and said, “There’s something I gotta do, so I have to go first. Kang Xia and some people from the company have arrived in Shanghai, and I need to discuss the project tender with them.”

“Is it Kang Xia, the CEO of Magnificent Tang Corporation?”

“Yeah!” Tang Xiu nodded.

“She’s very beautiful,” commented Xue Yu.

Tang Xiu could not tell if there was any meaning from her comment. But he heard Fatty Yuan once saying that he must not praise another woman before a woman, hence did not reply to her comment and instead said with a smile, “I should be free tomorrow evening, so I’ll come over to take you to dinner.”

“Alright.”

Xue Yu felt a bit unwilling, but she still managed to control her emotions and then nodded. Prior to this, her relationship with Tang Xiu was not a husband and wife in reality, and she only remembered him occasionally and felt that she should miss him. But saying that she had affection towards him, she only liked him a bit and there was not much feelings attached. But now was different, because she had given her whole self to Tang Xiu, both in the heart and body—and thus felt reluctant to separate from him, even for half a day.

“Alright. Let’s get dressed!”

Tang Xiu smiled and kissed her forehead, then took a new set of clothes from his interspatial ring.
