The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Chu Xuan stared as the celestial figure in the sky dissipated, her expression turning blank for a moment.

She had not expected Sword Master to leave just like that.

By her reckoning, the Sword Master’s celestial figure could be maintained for ten minutes.

He could have used another ten minutes to persuade Long Chen.

Even if it was just to protect herself from harm, to temporarily yield and persuade Long Chen, buying time so she could regain some strength and avoid further humiliation, that would have been preferable.

Yet, Sword Master did not do so.

Was it that he couldn’t think of it?

No, it definitely wasn’t that.

Someone like Sword Master, already as cunning as they come, simply did not wish to save her.

Upon this realization, tears suddenly slid down Chu Xuan’s cheeks.

She loved Sword Master deeply, a love that started in her past life and continued after her rebirth.

But in that brief moment, Chu Xuan seemed to see through everything.

After Sword Master vanished, Long Chen didn’t continue to bully Chu Xuan but instead took off his coat and placed it over her.

Chu Xuan, seeing Long Chen’s gesture, snapped back to reality, "What... what are you trying to say?"

"I just hated that old fellow, and he’s not worthy of you.

Don’t be angry, I really didn’t intend to insult you just now; of course, if you are angry, it doesn’t matter to me, since we are bound to battle fiercely anyway."

Long Chen spoke while sitting cross-legged, quickly regaining his strength.

Chu Xuan watched Long Chen’s figure, filled with immense surprise.

At this time, Long Chen was actually able to restrain himself, which was unexpected to her.

In fact, even if Long Chen really had defiled her, she currently had no strength to resist.

And since Long Chen and Sword Master were mortal enemies, and she belonged to Sword Master, death in battle would be inevitable anyhow.

Yet Long Chen held back and made no further moves.

Just this alone made Chu Xuan unexpectedly develop a slight fondness for Long Chen.

An hour passed by, and both had regained half of their strength.

"Do we continue to fight?"

Long Chen inquired.

"I don’t want to fight anymore, I’m tired," Chu Xuan said, "You spared me once just now, so from now on, you and I are no longer enemies."

"What kind of sick joke are you telling?" Long Chen scoffed, "You are Sword Master’s woman, and he’s my mortal enemy; how could you ever forgive me? Ridiculous."

"I was his woman before; from now on, I will not be."

Chu Xuan spoke faintly.

"Why?"

Long Chen was astonished.

Chu Xuan replied calmly, "I was willing to die for him, yet he wasn’t willing to do the same for me. Such an unequal relationship is better off ended."

"I see,"

Long Chen suddenly understood,

It turned out his previous actions had inadvertently helped Chu Xuan see Sword Master for who he truly was.

But this was for the better. With Chu Xuan no longer aiding Sword Master, Long Chen had one less formidable enemy, and Sword Master lost a powerful right-hand.

"Speaking of which, there’s something you got right," Chu Xuan said with a hint of mocking humor in her voice, "He never touched me in my previous life, and even after I was reborn and grew up, he never did touch me. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Long Chen was taken aback.

Chu Xuan explained, "Because that thing of his has been useless for a long time. He’s been hoping that after stepping into the Rune Dao Realm, it would be rejuvenated."

"Hahaha."

Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "I never imagined that my casual remark would actually turn out to be true."

"You’re right, that old fellow truly doesn’t deserve it," Chu Xuan said with a radiant smile.

That smile outshone even a hundred flowers in bloom.

"Great, I’m glad you can see it that way," Long Chen said with a smile.

"You must be happy, after all, you’ve killed a great enemy who could severely injure you," Chu Xuan said with a light smile.

Long Chen coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject: "Sister Chu Xuan, what you mentioned about rebi..."

"Sister? Can’t you call me sis?"

Chu Xuan glared at Long Chen.

"Alright, alright, Sister Chu Xuan, what exactly do you mean by rebirth?" Long Chen asked curiously.

"Haven’t you heard?" Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, in this world, I am not the only Reincarnator, it’s just that many people hide it very well.

As for how to be reborn, the conditions are very demanding. You need Transcend Liquid, soaking in Transcend Liquid allows you to avoid the force of the six cycles of reincarnation, undergo Nirvana in the pool, and transform into a baby to live another life."

"What is Transcend Liquid?"

"You sure ask a lot of questions." Chu Xuan said patiently: "Transcend Liquid is said to come from the Immortal Realm. I got it from a senior with the surname Chen. In a previous life, I was seriously injured and tried using Transcend Liquid on the verge of death. I didn’t expect it to actually work."

"Impressive, impressive," Long Chen said with a smile. "If there’s a lot of Transcend Liquid, wouldn’t that mean you could live forever?"

"In theory, indeed it would be possible, but such precious items like Transcend Liquid are extremely rare even in the Immortal Realm, so keep dreaming," Chu Xuan said.

"Then you just mentioned that there are quite a few Reincarnators in the world, but also said that Transcend Liquid is extremely precious. How are the other Reincarnators reborn? Isn’t that a contradiction?"

Long Chen muttered.

"Hehe," Chu Xuan laughed. "Without Transcend Liquid, there are other ancient methods, such as possessing another’s body, or being buried underground to comprehend some ancient method and be reborn from Nirvana. Just remember, every Reincarnator is absolutely extraordinary. If you encounter one, just be cautious."

"Alright, thank you."

Long Chen gave a respectful bow.

"Mhm, I’ll take my leave."

Chu Xuan turned and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Long Chen asked.

"I’m going back to settle things with the Sword Master," Chu Xuan said.

"Aren’t you afraid that after going back and breaking up with him, he’ll harm you?"

"He wouldn’t dare."

Chu Xuan walked farther and farther away.

Long Chen did not chase after her, nor did he speak again.

...

Three days later, Chu Xuan returned to that cave abode.

The Sword Master was still sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Sensing Chu Xuan coming in, he paused his cultivation, opened his eyes, and a flash of disgust flickered through his eyes.

He hid it well, but Chu Xuan still noticed.

"Xuan’er, you’ve actually returned safely, very good, very good."

The Sword Master revealed a smile.

"It was like a nightmare,"

Chu Xuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master pondered for a moment before saying, "Xuan’er, since that little beast treated you that way, you might as well pretend to comply, then kill him when he lets his guard down. After that, when I break through, we’ll get married immediately, okay? Don’t worry, I won’t let you down, nor will I ever despise you."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan was in turmoil, utterly shocked.

But her face remained serene.

"There’s really no need for that," Chu Xuan said. "What you can’t give me, he can. That night, he truly was with me, allowing me to enjoy the pleasures a woman should have. I’m very satisfied with his performance. I’m back to end things with you. I’ve decided to draw a clear line between us.

Of course, rest assured, I won’t help him fight against you. You both have to resolve your enmity on your own. I just like being reckless with him, that’s all."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master’s face changed drastically, "Xuan’er, don’t talk nonsense. You must be mad at me, but you can’t be like this. It’s just flesh; in the mundane world, this is called defilement, but we are Cultivators, there’s no need to care about these things, you understand, right?"

"My mind is made up, just so you know."

Chu Xuan finished speaking, turned around, and left with firm steps and not a hint of hesitation.

Such a clever person as her, once she made up her mind, not even nine oxen could pull her back.

"Chu Xuan, if you really decide to oppose me, do you believe I would spread the news of you being defiled by him?"

The Sword Master threatened.

"Do you believe that I’m willing to go all out with you right now, making your breakthrough hopeless?" Chu Xuan chuckled coldly.

The Sword Master’s face stiffened, his fists clenched.

Chu Xuan spoke sternly: "If you wish to expose it, then do so. I don’t care after all. The Cultivation World knows who Chu Xuan belongs to. It’s just too bad they don’t know that you, the renowned Sword Master, lacked the ability to touch me once in two lives, and were even cuckolded. How laughable. If you don’t mind, then go ahead and tell. Farewell."
