734 Returning to the Five Elements Mountain (1/2)

That day, Xu Que entrusted both Jiang Taixu and Jiang Linlin to Duan Jiude. He was to send them to the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, then immediately make his way to the Five Elements Mountain.

In the beginning, Xu Que had wanted to use this opportunity to have an unforgettable honeymoon trip with Jiang Hongyan. However, Buttface insisted on tagging along. He hugged Xu Que's thighs and cried so heartbreakingly that he soon became a teary person…tsk, no, a teary dog! Left with no choice, especially as Jiang Hongyan joined in the persuasion, he allowed Buttface to come along.

Buttface immediately let out a big sigh of relief and rebounded on the spot. He regained his usual confident stride, stopped sulking, and followed them. Soon, they arrived at an isolated villa in the mountains. Having been deserted for many years, this villa was extremely rundown. When Xu Que first came to the East Continent with Buttface, he arrived via an ancient teleportation device in this mountain village. As this ancient teleportation device had a corner missing, it could only teleport one way. You could get to the Five Elements Mountain using this, but to return, you would have to patch up the missing corner.

”Buttface, you have one hour to repair the device!” Xu Que ordered quickly.

Buttface flared up, ”Screw it, what the hell can I repair in an hour? It'll take at least six months to repair this device fully!”

”Six months? Scram then! The Exploding Heavens Faction doesn't need useless bums like you!” Xu Que quipped with disgust.

Buttface was immediately upset and tried to formulate a rebuttal. Suddenly, Jiang Hongyan smiled and walked toward the teleportation device.

”Allow me!” she spoke softly. Between slender fingers she held a small spiritual jade. She placed it into the small opening on the teleportation device.

Buttface's eyes widened. ”Is that a spell-mending stone? Aww, all hail the Holy Senior! She shall live for thousands of years, and she shall conquer the world!”

”It is not quite a spell-mending stone. I used to be a frequent user of this teleportation device, so I had some special stones made just for this portal.” Jiang Hongyan shook her head, then walked into the device. Xu Que nodded. Only a single person can own this type of spell-mending stone, and it will break after each use. They wouldn't have to worry about others sneaking into the Five Elements Mountain. He followed her in and pulled out a bundle of Best-grade spirit stones, embedding them onto the spell altar.

Boom!

The entire spell instantly initiated and the altar sparkled with a vast amount of runes, which turned into an enormous shrine. With a massive pull on the void, the group disappeared in the spell within the blink of an eye.

…

Two months later, at Five Elements Mountain, in the Water Nation Palace, a beam of white light shone brightly in Jiang Hongyan's old hidden bedroom. After a while, the silhouettes of Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan, and Buttface gradually became more evident.

”We're finally back!” shouted a refreshed Xu Que.

Although the speed of the ancient teleportation device was much faster than other methods, given the vast distance between the Five Elements Mountain and the Four Great Continents, it had still taken them two months. However, the fact that they could return pleased Xu Que.

”Yow! I have many other important matters to settle. See you guys!” howled Buttface, who took off like a wild horse finally out of the fences.

Xu Que shook his head, flabbergasted, ”Buttface is such a glutton! I'm sure he went straight for the Wanda Mall of the Exploding Heavens Faction.”

”Well, it's been four years since we have been back. Do you think that those stores are still open?” Jiang Hongyan asked curiously.

Xu Que smiled. ”Of course not. I instructed them to close all the stores when I left. Ha-ha, Buttface is running for nothing!”

”You should have stopped him!” Jiang Hongyan couldn't decide if she should laugh or cry, so she just glared at him with slight annoyance. Xu Que gazed deeply into Jiang Hongyan's beautiful eyes. He grabbed her slender hands and cooed affectionately, ”Isn't this better? At last, nobody can disturb us now!”
