My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: At All Costs

For Lin Jiao’s safety, Wu Xia didn’t leave her in the void again.

Instead, he brought Lin Jiao back home.

More than a month had passed, and the house was almost completely built; they were busy with the interior decoration during this period.

Zhou Fang’s menstruation didn’t come this month, and she had already started to show signs of pregnancy. She was incredibly conspicuous, wandering around the village with her belly not yet showing any real change.

Wu Gang was also beaming with pride, their desired happiness was just that simple.

The family was still staying at Li Wanshan’s house.

Li Wanshan’s family had completely moved to the city and hadn’t come back since.

Only Li Mengyue would occasionally return to meet Tiezhu for a fling, to satisfy her desires, and then she would head back to town.

It seemed that this place was their sorrow ground, not wanting to return anymore.

Later, Wu Xia heard that Liu Xianglan had been caught cheating by Li Wanshan.

Previously, Li Wanshan was impotent, and he had accepted it.

But now Li Wanshan had grown stronger and Liu Xianglan was still cheating, which made Li Wanshan unable to swallow this fact.

Moreover, she was brazenly cheating.

Eventually, the spouses of those involved found out and the issue escalated.

Just then, Li Wanshan was transferred to the town, so he just left and never returned.

When Wu Xia arrived home with Lin Jiao, only Chen Yuting was there.

The Ye Family had been destroyed, and Chen Shoufu had returned to the town to continue as its wealthiest man.

But Chen Yuting had not left.

The time she had spent with Wu Xia, because familiarity breeds fondness, had made her fall completely in love with Wu Xia.

Moreover, she had also stepped into the circle of cultivators, so she had nowhere to go and only wanted to stay here waiting for Wu Xia’s return.

"Wu Xia!"

When Chen Yuting saw Wu Xia, she stood up excitedly.

Wu Xia was also surprised, but he saw through Chen Yuting’s affection at a glance and felt quite helpless.

Now with so many women, he simply couldn’t take care of them all.

Moreover, since he had broken through to the highest realm, he no longer needed women to cultivate and improve his strength.

Thus, Wu Xia had long forgotten about these insignificant women.

Seeing that Wu Xia was ignoring her, Chen Yuting felt somewhat disappointed, but still thickened her skin and asked, "How is Jiao?"

"Nothing’s wrong!" Wu Xia responded coldly, and then carried Lin Jiao to her room.

After placing Lin Jiao on the bed, he then asked gravely, "Where are my brother and my sister-in-law?"

"Big brother is dealing with house matters, and sister-in-law should be by the river chatting with the villagers."

Chen Yuting immediately replied, "I’ll go call them back right now!"

"Hmm!" Wu Xia nodded, without saying much more.

After Chen Yuting left, Wu Xia also vanished in a flash.

He returned to the Capital City to find Qin Sheng.

At that moment, Qin Sheng was instructing Wang Zhiruo and others in their cultivation; the women were overjoyed to see Wu Xia return and quickly gathered around him.

"Wu Xia!"

"Xia!"

Wu Xia nodded gently, then turned to Xiao Nihuang, "Nihuang, please contact the elder of the Inner Court. I need some information on the Divine Beasts, have them prepare it, and I’ll come back later to pick it up!"

He then turned to Qin Sheng, "Come with me, I need your help taking care of someone!"

As he spoke, he was about to leave with Qin Sheng.

"Wu Xia, where are you going? We can help too!"

Wang Zhiruo and Zhang Lin quickly gathered around, clutching Wu Xia tightly.

Wu Xia gave them a deep look, then glanced at the other women behind him, "You don’t need to come, just stay here, and I’ll come back for you once I’ve handled everything!"

Wu Xia did not want to bring so many women back to cause chaos; that would surely turn the house upside down.

Moreover, going back to the countryside was no different from staying here; Wu Xia was not there.

Wu Xia left with Qin Sheng, leaving behind the women with faces full of disappointment.

Back in Wujia Gully, Wu Xia entrusted the task of taking care of Lin Jiao to Qin Sheng.

Currently, the strongest by his side was Qin Sheng, and with her here, Wu Xia felt more at ease.

Moreover, Qin Sheng had sacrificed for him, their hearts were connected, and in any situation, they could know immediately and rush back in time.

When Chen Yuting called Wu Gang and Zhou Fang back, and she saw there was another woman, and exceptionally beautiful at that, the feeling of loss in the depths of her eyes grew stronger.

She silently lowered her head, did not stay longer, and left the room, leaving the space to Wu Xia’s family.

Wu Xia watched Chen Yuting’s lonely figure, feeling a mix of emotions.

However, he was not in the mood to take care of Chen Yuting at this moment; she had to adjust on her own.

"Xia, what happened to Jiao?"

Zhou Fang looked at Lin Jiao’s pale face, unconscious on the bed, and asked worriedly.

Wu Xia explained Lin Jiao’s situation to them, then said solemnly, "Big brother, sister-in-law, don’t worry. Jiaojiao will be fine; I will find a way to cure her!"

"For now, let her stay at home. The familiar environment here might help soothe her soul a bit more!"

"Xia, you also need to be careful!"

Wu Gang and Zhou Fang said anxiously, "With everything so turbulent nowadays, please don’t let anything happen to you. If it’s too much, come back home early. We can live our lives simply and peacefully."

"Hmm!" Wu Xia nodded.

He too had thoughts of retiring from the world. Having revived Lin Jiao now, Wu Xia was also planning to stay away from the strife and live a simple life from now on.

"Oh, Xia!" Wu Gang suddenly remembered something and spoke up, "I wanted to talk to you about our second brother!"

"Hmm?" Wu Xia’s expression changed slightly. With so much happening lately, he hadn’t had a moment’s rest and had forgotten that he had summoned Wu Tie’s soul and left it unattended.

"I went to see our second brother recently, and now that I’ve cultivated, I can communicate with him!"

Wu Gang continued, "Second brother told me he does not want to lose his memories and come back; he wants to leave with those memories intact, at least they are pleasant!"

"He wants you to let him go, let him leave, and he hopes you and Jiaojiao will be happy!"

"He said handing Jiaojiao to you is a great fulfillment, he’s not angry, he’s happy for you both!"

"He wants you both to go see him sometime soon, to have a good talk."

Wu Xia felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

If Wu Tie knew that he had caused Lin Jiao to end up in this state, he might come back to life out of sheer anger.

However, Wu Tie’s soul was still there, Wu Xia could not neglect it.

Otherwise, it would be devoured by the Spiritual Energy, turn to ash and dust, vanishing without even a single thought remaining.

Wu Xia gritted his teeth; what was bound to come would eventually come, and he had to face it.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, Qin Sheng, take good care of Jiaojiao. I’m going to see our second brother!"
