Chapter 438: Chapter 271 Still That Marriage Contract_2

Suddenly smiling, she realized that she was still somewhat naïve.

Because if it weren’t for the trap set by Demon Night True Monarch, she and Jiang Feng probably wouldn’t even have the chance to be born, let alone meet or achieve any outcome?

"Why avoid it? We’re just talking openly and aboveboard here; you’re getting jealous as if your vinegar pot is about to overturn. If we were to avoid each other, wouldn’t that simply lead to more misunderstandings? Besides, you’re not an outsider, and you’ll inevitably learn about some things sooner or later."

Haha, with a laugh, he reached out and pinched Cen Yueyue’s slightly reddened nose tip.

Pouting in dissatisfaction, Cen Yueyue didn’t dodge, her pretended displeasure revealing contentment and joy.

"The two of you share such good feelings, it’s enviable. Jiang Lang, your vision is as sharp and critical as ever."

"Lucky me, the first time Yue Yue and I met, we fought like cats and dogs. In a way, it’s a case of ’no fights, no acquaintance.’ Back then, I felt unworthy of her. But you know me, I have a thick face. I lack other skills, but I’m great at living off a woman and excel at tricking and deceiving. I ran here from Purple Cloud Palace this time to trick someone else’s little princess."

"Pfft~"

Couldn’t help it.

Neither of the women could hold back.

Chatting with someone as unpredictable as Jiang Feng is very comfortable. Cen Yueyue’s smile as crescent as the moon, she still remembers the first time they met, this blunt lad was just at the Qi Refinement stage and swung his sword toward her.

Yan Yurou’s face also couldn’t stop smiling, clearly hearing the implication that when Jiang Feng used to live in Qingshui County, he’d love to escape to a brothel to listen to tunes.

When he had no silver, he’d come hinting to her, and she could only unlock her little treasury and let him take the silver to have fun. Those memories were truly the most amusing and blissful.

"But..."

The man’s tone shifted, and he steered the conversation back on track, his expression serious once again.

"After going back, I investigated this spell. Although it is difficult to break unless by the person themselves, if the realm is matched, there is still a chance to force a breakthrough."

"Although Immortal Monarchs are hard to find, after all, we have already entered the Immortal Sect, and belong to some of the most powerful sects in the Nine Provinces. Relying on the connections of the older generation, there should be a chance to meet them. I have already given a heads-up to senior sister."

"If we really can’t find a Human Clan’s Immortal Monarch to help... a Demon Race’s isn’t impossible either."

"I can’t guarantee, but I’ll definitely do my best."

Yan Yurou was stunned.

Looking at the man in front of her, she found Jiang Feng was still the same as before, unchanged.

Stubborn, persistent, likes to drill down dead ends. Once he’s set his mind on something, it can’t be changed. On the surface, he seems unruly, yet his thoughts are meticulous and fine like cow hair, considering things comprehensively.

The pressure on him is greater than anyone else’s, but he never speaks up, always keeps it bottled up inside, shouldering it all on his own.

Her red lips moved, as she wanted to say something, but before she could, the man said directly: "Moreover, according to my investigation, although the word curse can’t be broken now, it can be alleviated."

"The root of everything lies with me, so I just need to stay away from Qingshui County. If your family doesn’t see me, the brand etched in the soul won’t trigger."

"Out of sight, out of mind, right? There’d be no need to suffer any restrictions. As long as the mind doesn’t dwell on matters concerning me, the body should be able to be completely liberated."

"The only thing that’s not quite as hoped for is that Uncle Yan and many of your family elders have been tormented by this curse over the past few years, struggling at the brink of physical and soul collapse, and they’ll still need time to rest and recuperate quietly."

"Here are a few items, take good care of them."

With that said, Jiang Feng turned his hand over and took out two porcelain bottles from the Qiankun Bag.

The bottles were quite large, she had to use both hands to catch them, and they were not light. Just one bottle contained at least ten elixirs, and judging by the quality and pattern of the porcelain, it was not hard to guess what was inside.

"Jiang Lang, what is this..."

She was startled.

She could never have expected this.

She thought that after meeting, there would be silence, there would be arguments, there would be unresolved feelings, but she never imagined that their meeting would turn out like this.

Looking at the porcelain bottles in her hand, one contained Soul Nourishing Pills, specially used for repairing the soul and nourishing the Divine Soul. The other bottle had Rejuvenation Pills, for replenishing the body’s vitality and nurturing the growth of flesh and blood.

The combination of the two can greatly alleviate the damage caused by the word curse on the body. Besides paying tribute to her ancestors and visiting her family, Yan Yurou’s return home this time was mostly for the same consideration. She wanted to see if the Elixir could ease the widespread impact of the word curse.

What she didn’t expect was that Jiang Feng had already been preparing for this several years ago.

Such Elixirs were not something he could obtain just by relying on his status. Over the past two years, all the Spirit accumulation and merits he had gained were spent either on a decent Magic Treasure for Lu Luo or on this matter.

The two heavy bottles of Elixirs in his hand, he had saved them for a long time.

"Take them, consider it my repayment for Uncle Yan’s nurturing kindness. If it weren’t for Uncle Yan’s protection, I’m afraid that at thirteen, I would have been chopped into mincemeat in the cemetery."

He chuckled nonchalantly.

When do men look the handsomest and have the most personal charm?

It is during times like these.

Serious, responsible, confident, he is a true exemplar of male chauvinism. The reason many people dislike chauvinism is fundamentally because it’s not pure enough.

Acting like everything is their business to handle, but failing to sort things out when it truly matters, blunter put, only knowing how to throw their weight around in front of their own people, which is why it’s distasteful.

But his principle is, as long as something passes through my hands, I will try my best to resolve it. Everything is up to me, so I shall take responsibility to the end.

"Hmm." Yan Yurou didn’t refuse any further. She knew that these two bottles of Elixirs were tied to the lives of an entire family. She could still tell what was more important, so she nodded in agreement.

"Yu Rou will hand these two items over to Second Grandpa and Father, and also explain to them where they came from..."

"Forget it, there’s no need. Otherwise, the old master might get so angry that the word curse acts up right away upon hearing it’s from me. Just keep it a secret, and say that you earned them by working yourself to the bone at the Taixu Sect. That way, they’ll probably enjoy them much more."

Even Cen Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes upon hearing this, but she didn’t show any impatience. As Yan Yurou said, Jiang Feng was a very responsible person.

Especially when dealing with personal matters at times like this, yapping on the side would only make one look like a nagging shrew. As his official wife, she should be more magnanimous.

Indeed!

"Talking to Jiang Lang is always interesting, unlike those brothers in the sect, who are so bland. Yu Rou accepts this kindness."

She took the two porcelain bottles and tucked them into her Qiankun Bag.

But Yan Yurou showed no signs of leaving. Instead, she mimicked Jiang Feng’s earlier motion, turning her small hand to retrieve several items from her own Qiankun Bag. They appeared to be a fluttering piece of paper and an old package.

She walked straight up and then handed over those two items.

"This is..."

Even without looking inside, he understood what they were the moment he saw them clearly.

For a time, dead memories began to flood into his mind. He remembered the fight he had with Yan Yurou and how they discussed wedding attire, even recalling the marriage contract that was shredded to pieces.

If he remembered correctly, he, in a fit of irrational rage that day, had completely destroyed the marriage contract and tossed it on the street.

The folded xuan paper in his hand had clearly been mounted several times, with fine lines all over it.

"You collected all those scraps of paper?"

"Hmm."

She nodded.

"No matter how Jiang Lang would handle it, it’s better to return this to you, and this outfit as well."

He knew what was inside without opening it.

It was the wedding attire that was torn last time.

As she spoke, Yan Yurou looked towards Cen Yueyue standing beside Jiang Feng. Their gazes met once again, but this time Cen Yueyue’s eyes no longer held hostility, and hers were filled with encouragement.

"Fire Phoenix taking flight, it would be more suitable for Sister Cen to wear it. It should look very nice indeed."
