The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Chu Xuan left without turning her head, without any nostalgia.

Behind her, Sword Master spat out a mouthful of blood, enraged.

This time, he truly lost his wife and soldiers, gaining nothing at all.

In the end, even Chu Xuan was gone.

At this moment, he had completely become a lonely man.

"Long Chen, Long Chen, you broke my Dragon Order, insulted my woman, in this life, if I do not kill you, it would be against all reason,"

Sword Master growled almost in a whisper.

His growl was heard by Chu Xuan, who had not gone far.

Chu Xuan furrowed her brow and then hastened her pace to leave.

Two days later, Chu Xuan entered Qianzhou and arrived at the Great Xia Mansion to see Long Chen.

Long Chen noticed a significant change in Chu Xuan compared to the last time he had seen her.

She was no longer cold and aloof, but calm and composed, possessing a tranquil demeanor.

When Xia Ling learned from Long Chen that this was the woman with whom he was destined to have a battle to the death, her guard instantly went up.

"Can we talk alone?"

Chu Xuan asked Long Chen.

"Of course," Long Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling and others silently left the living room.

Chu Xuan stared at Long Chen and said seriously, "Sword Master now sees you as his mortal enemy. Once he breaks through to the Rune Dao Realm, he will come looking for you at the first opportunity, you had better prepare early."

"Xuan’er sister, how about this, you tell me Sword Master’s location, and I go kill him, wouldn’t that solve everything? Even if I can’t kill him, I’d prevent him from entering the Rune Dao Realm, what do you think?"

Long Chen smiled as he looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan shook her head and said, "I am sorry, but I cannot agree. Although I have cut ties with him, considering past affection, I do not want to take such action, at least not for now."

Chu Xuan’s stance somewhat surprised Long Chen.

He liked Chu Xuan’s way of being straightforward and honest.

"It seems Chu sister truly values personal relationships."

Long Chen smiled.

"Value relationships? What’s that, huh? Does that even exist in this world?

Just take you for example, a man with so many women, fickle like that, dare you say you value relationships?"

Chu Xuan scoffed.

"That’s different," Long Chen laughed, "It is precisely because I value relationships and loyalty that I have so many women."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan paused and then said, "You have indeed cultivated your shamelessness to a certain realm, even higher than your cultivation. Are you free? Come with me for a stroll around Qianzhou."

"If anyone else asked, definitely not, but if it’s Xuan sister, of course I’m free,"

Long Chen said with a laugh.

"Why?"

"Because you are beautiful."

"I am very satisfied with that answer."

...

Before long, Long Chen was walking around Qianzhou City with Chu Xuan.

Eventually, the pair arrived at the shore of Qianling Lake.

To ordinary people, this place might just seem incredibly scenic.

But to cultivators, Qianling Lake was filled with spiritual energy, potentially doubling the effectiveness of their cultivation.

"Are you saying that Xuan’er and the Sword Master have really ended things for good?"

Long Chen turned to ask. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"You really know how to bring up the wrong subject at the wrong time, can’t you make conversation?" Chu Xuan gave Long Chen a look.

Long Chen smiled and said, "I’m just curious, it doesn’t feel right. Sigh, not long ago, you fought a life and death battle with me to help him, and now you’ve drawn a clear line. Moreover, you came to Qianzhou to find me and have been hanging out with me for so long. Life really is unpredictable."

After saying this, Long Chen opened his bottle of water and took a swig.

"Maybe tomorrow I’ll wake up and we’ll be lying in the same bed."

Chu Xuan said with a laugh.

Pfft.

Long Chen was so startled that he spat out his water.

Seeing Long Chen’s reaction, Chu Xuan couldn’t help but tease, "What? You don’t want to?"

"Of course, I would. I have so many beauties at home," said Long Chen.

"What if I insist?" Chu Xuan asked with an ambiguous smile.

"Xuan’er, stop joking," Long Chen said with a wry smile. "Teasing me isn’t fun."

"Who’s teasing you? I’m serious," Chu Xuan said with a gentle smile. "Do you want to hear the story about me and the Sword Master?"

"If you’re willing to share, I really want to hear it," Long Chen said.

"Mm."

Chu Xuan took a deep breath to calm her emotions and slowly began:

"In my previous life...well, let’s just say it was my previous life, when I was eighteen, I fell in love with him. By then, he was already fifty years old. But as a cultivator, you couldn’t see much aging on his face, he was both handsome and powerful. He also agreed to marry me, but a few days before our wedding, he told me he was ’impotent.’ I couldn’t accept it, so we never had the wedding.

Later, I came to understand that loving someone means accepting everything about them. I loved him for who he was, not for anything else. So, I was willing to marry him, but he rejected me, saying he still had important things to do. That went on year after year, from when I was eighteen until I was twenty-eight. Just when we were about to get married, his enemy came and attacked us. I fought his enemy, was severely injured and near death, and only survived by using the Transcend Liquid for another life.

In this life, as you know, it has been over twenty years again without marriage to him."

After listening to Chu Xuan, Long Chen was astonished.

Two periods of over twenty years—that was over fifty years.

Such a long wait, Chu Xuan was truly dedicated.

"But in that previous life, when you were severely injured and near death for him, such a powerful man, how could he just stand by?" Long Chen curiously asked.

"He was cultivating in his cave, trying to break through. I forgot to tell you, he was trying to enter the Rune Dao Realm and had been sitting in that cave for over fifty years without coming out," Chu Xuan explained.

Long Chen was taken aback. The Sword Master, indeed, was a resolute man, enduring over fifty years without leaving the mountains.

"He immersed himself in trying to enter the Rune Dao Realm, almost completely oblivious to the outside world. You pushing him to use his Dharma Body multiple times was already his limit. But as you know, even when I was nearly violated by you, he could endure it. That’s how cold-hearted a person he is.

From that incident, I fully realized he didn’t care about me; he just wanted a free war servant. If I didn’t leave him and make a clean break, when he finally entered the Rune Dao Realm, would I just become a combination of a war servant and a plaything?

Or maybe, I would become a fool, deceived until one day he’d betray me, resulting in my being killed?"

"Xuan’er, you did nothing wrong. Such a selfish person doesn’t deserve you, especially when you are so beautiful and young, and that old man is already a hundred years old. Leaving him is definitely the right decision," Long Chen said with a smile.

"I think so too. Now, back to what I was talking about, you have to promise me."

"What?"

"Consummating."

"Xuan’er, really? Stop joking."

"Who’s joking? I’m serious, who would joke about something like this?" Chu Xuan said. "I preserved myself for him, and now that I’m free, I just want to experience what it feels like."

Long Chen was stunned for a while before asking, "But why choose me? Xuan’er, this request is really a bit too much."

"Too much? Because you’ve stripped me before, seen everything. I’ll tell you secretly, when you stripped me, although I was angry and furious, I inexplicably felt something. That’s why I came to you. Of course, the most important thing is that I don’t mind being intimate with you; I can’t do that with anyone else."

She spoke softly.
