Seeing Ye Chuan effortlessly deal with those Spirit Transformation cultivators and dozen-odd Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Qianshuang finally relaxed completely, clinging to him like a koala without moving an inch.
"Qianshuang, how much longer are you going to hold on?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile when she remained silent.
"I want... to keep holding you," Bai Qianshuang murmured softly.
"Alright then." Ye Chuan supported her by the hips but didn’t forget to tease, "Should we find an inn so you can keep holding me?"
"No..." she replied flatly.
A full hour passed before Bai Qianshuang slowly lifted her face from Ye Chuan’s chest, her long lashes fluttering. At that moment, she looked like a lazy little kitten in his eyes.
"Ye Chuan... how did you find me?"
Ye Chuan hadn’t entered the teleportation array back then, so Bai Qianshuang wasn’t entirely clear about what happened afterward. She only knew he had arrived incredibly quickly.
"How did I find you?" Ye Chuan chuckled before recounting his journey across the Endless Demon Sea.
"The Endless... Demon Sea? Alone?" Bai Qianshuang could hardly believe he’d gone that far—the Endless Demon Sea was practically a graveyard for human cultivators. Though slightly less deadly than the Forbidden Zone of the central region, it was still no place for a lone traveler.
The thought of Ye Chuan risking so much for her made Bai Qianshuang tighten her grip on his clothes.
"What if something had happened to you...?"
"If it had, it wouldn’t have mattered," Ye Chuan said. "For you, it was worth it."
His words sent a shiver through her body, and she buried herself deeper into his embrace like a quail, refusing to move.
Earlier, Ye Chuan had also been searching for Bai Qianshuang. The logs only mentioned her arrival in the city, not her exact location. While spiritual sense was useful, most cultivators concealed their energy, so he hadn’t initially detected her presence in Blackwind Valley.
It wasn’t until the clash between Bai Qianshuang and the Qingyun Sect elders that Ye Chuan sensed the surge of spiritual energy and teleported over. Recognizing her golden lotus technique, he intervened and saved her.
"But why did you come here?"
Bai Qianshuang explained about the remnants of the Jade Void Sect. Hearing this, Ye Chuan recalled the fake "Bai Qianshuang" he’d encountered among the Jade Void Sect survivors before.
[Some imitate my face, some imitate my name.]
"Hmm..." Ye Chuan fell into thought. Just who was that impostor he’d met last time?
"What’s wrong?" Bai Qianshuang asked, noticing his pensive expression.
Ye Chuan shared the details of his previous encounter. Learning that someone had impersonated her, her eyes flickered with contemplation.
"What is it?"
"I... also wonder who that person could be," Bai Qianshuang murmured, shaking her head. She seemed to have an inkling but wasn’t entirely sure.
"Let’s not dwell on it for now. We’ve killed quite a few Qingyun Sect members—they’ll send reinforcements soon," Ye Chuan said. "Let’s rest at a nearby inn first."
"Alright." Bai Qianshuang nodded softly.
......
In Dongyou City, Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang booked a room to rest.
As he settled in, Ye Chuan wondered if he could log out—ideally, taking Bai Qianshuang with him.
"What’s on your mind, Ye Chuan?"
"Ahem, I want to try something. Let’s see if we can return home to rest before coming back to continue our adventures in the Tianxuan Continent," he explained openly, even waving his phone in front of her.
But from Bai Qianshuang’s perspective, his hand was empty. She tilted her head slightly. "We can... travel back and forth?"
If so, wasn’t that incredibly powerful?
"Want to give it a try?" Ye Chuan grinned.
"I’m... willing." She gave a small nod.
Ye Chuan wasn’t worried about losing track of Bai Qianshuang even if he logged out—the save point would remain here.
He initiated the save.
[Would you like to bring tenant [Bai Qianshuang] with you?]
It worked!
Tianxuan Continent—logging out.
......
......
......
When Ye Chuan opened his eyes again, he and Bai Qianshuang were lying on a bed, staring at a familiar ceiling.
"Looks like we’re back," he muttered. Turning his head, he found Bai Qianshuang propped up on the bed, her luminous eyes fixed on him.
"What is it?" he asked, noticing her gaze.
"Ye Chuan, you have many secrets," she said, lightly poking his cheek with a finger.
"Everyone has secrets," he laughed.
Suddenly, his vision darkened as Bai Qianshuang leaned over him, her cascading hair framing her gem-like eyes.
"Ye Chuan..."
"Hmm?"
"I think... I’m lucky to have met you," she whispered.
"Me too," he replied softly.
Bai Qianshuang suddenly collapsed onto his chest, resting her cheek against him as if listening to his heartbeat.
Exhausted from the battle, her nerves finally relaxed, and she fell asleep right there.
Hearing her steady breathing, Ye Chuan blinked in surprise.
Huh?
That fast?
But as he studied her serene sleeping face, he carefully adjusted her position, cradling her in his arms.
Bai Qianshuang felt soft and pliant against him, as if she’d shed all her defenses. Her long lashes trembled slightly above the beauty mark near her eye.
"Sleep well."
Ye Chuan’s voice was unexpectedly tender—so much so that he didn’t even notice it himself.
......
The night passed without incident.
At dawn, knocking echoed at the door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Qianshuang~ Have you seen Ye Chuan? He’s missing~"
Ye Chuan, still holding the slumbering Bai Qianshuang, noted how deeply she slept, showing no signs of waking.
"Qianshuang?" The door creaked open, and Lan Xiaoke’s head peeked through the gap.
The next second, she saw Ye Chuan and Bai Qianshuang sharing the bed.
Lan Xiaoke: "..."
Ye Chuan: "..."
Lan Xiaoke’s head instantly retreated. "My bad~ Should I fetch some condoms?"
"Get back here first."
