Chapter 27: Xuan’er’s Present and Future (Part 1/2)

Xuan’er’s Present and Future

Ning Wuxie listened to the words and immediately understood. Where there were Confucian disciples, significant events were bound to occur.

The Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty had always been at odds, engaging in numerous conflicts, making them archenemies.

Even the Confucians found it challenging to reconcile the relationship between the two countries, relying on various means to maintain the fragile balance.

In his past life as a disciple of the Human Sect, Ning Wuxie had mediated many disputes between the dynasties. However, he couldn’t recall how far the conflict between Qin and Chu had escalated this time.

It didn’t seem to have caused a significant uproar… After all, Qin and Chu were evenly matched, not easily annexed by simply killing a monarch.

“What kind of treasure did Brother Meng mention?” Ning Wuxie became interested and inquired.

At this, Meng Cangren suddenly put on a cautious expression, looked around once more to ensure no one was eavesdropping.

In fact, his magic weapon naturally shielded external consciousness probes, so there was no need to be so careful. However, Meng Cangren still seemed somewhat apprehensive.

“I wonder if Brother Ning has heard of it. Let me tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone!”

“That’s a secret.”

Meng Cangren approached Ning Wuxie, whispered softly in his ear, “The Primordial Essence!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuxie’s eyes widened.

The Confucians had set their sights on the Yao Clan!

…

Ning Wuxie returned to the small courtyard. As soon as he pushed open the door, Xuan’er rushed towards him, burying her head in his embrace.

“Brother, you’ve been away for so long!”

Xuan’er said pitifully, rubbing her head against Ning Wuxie’s chest.

“I’m sorry. Look at what Brother bought for you!”

Ning Wuxie affectionately stroked Xuan’er’s hair and took out the candied haws he had bought.

Xuan’er’s eyes lit up as she reached for the candied haws, happily starting to eat.

“Brother, you should eat too!”

Xuan’er hadn’t forgotten about Ning Wuxie. After taking a few bites, she offered the candied haws to Ning Wuxie, who obediently ate one, leading Xuan’er back inside to cook.

As night fell, Ning Wuxie gave up struggling and let Xuan’er snuggle up to him as they slept. Her delicate and lovely face now showed a hint of maturity, exuding a girlish charm. Her round face rested against Ning Wuxie’s shoulder, a faint satisfied smile on her lips.

A strand of fragrant saliva dripped from her slightly pouted lips, forming a glistening thread.

Ning Wuxie smiled. This little girl’s sleeping habits were indeed carefree. He would have to discipline her properly in the future.

He reached out, using his thumb to wipe away the drool sliding down her tender lower lip.

“Ah…”

Xuan’er seemed to sense something, suddenly opening her mouth and taking Ning Wuxie’s finger into her mouth!

Ning Wuxie was stunned. Was this little girl dreaming of eating candied haws?

Feeling a soft, warm little tongue moving in her mouth, licking his thumb, Ning Wuxie inexplicably didn’t pull his finger away, allowing Xuan’er to suck on it. In the dim light of the room, Ning Wuxie admired Xuan’er’s innocent and lovely exquisite beauty.

She was still that adorable little girl who thought of herself as the center of the world.

However, deep down, another person resided in her consciousness, a woman who was not cute at all, even a bit dangerous…

If everything after his rebirth was a new beginning, then Ning Wuxie was now just a fifteen-year-old boy.

In his past life, at the age of fifteen, he was still doing odd jobs outside the Zhenyuan Sect, watching the heroic senior sisters with admiration.

But now, he possessed over five hundred years of memories from his past life and inherited the hatred from it.

Yet, there was still a trace of innocence in his heart, the sincere and fervent exploration of the world that now belonged entirely to Xuan’er.

Yes, he admitted that he needed Xuan’er.

But the future might not unfold as he wished. The lovely Xuan’er wouldn’t remain a child forever, forever loving her brother.

One day, the Empress Jiang Ningxuan would return and reclaim her body.

For an divine spiritual body, this ending seemed almost inevitable, and few could stop her growth.

Ning Wuxie suddenly felt a sense of desolation. Xuan’er’s cuteness and innocence were not expendable but rather a limited-time experience.

Should he…?
