Chapter 32: The Mad Demon King (1/2)

Xuan’er only felt her entire head was in a daze.

Not only was her face flushed, but her heart also raced extremely fast, and heat continuously emanated from her body.

Her brother had previously said she was his partner…

But these two men said she was… she was his, a delicate wife?

Thinking of the term “delicate wife,” Xuan’er felt her brain circuits were about to burn out, her eyes wide with panic, and her body gently trembled.

Could it be that her brother regarded her as… as…

She had never considered that she held such a role in Ning Wuxie’s heart.

In fact, she had never thought about what she truly was to Ning Wuxie; calling him brother was simply because he was older.

In her heart, Ning Wuxie was like her grandfather, someone to rely on for life, supporting each other.

Just as Ning Wuxie had said when he adopted her, they were of the same kind, so they should always be together.

However, the role of a wife… seemed to be somewhat different…

Xuan’er lowered her head slightly out of shyness, but her eyes remained on Ning Wuxie.

She did not know what she truly felt inside; excitement, surprise, and shyness definitely occupied her mind.

A wife? As long as it meant being with her brother, that was enough…

Just as Xuan’er was about to say something, Ning Wuxie pulled her into his embrace.

“Wow, Brother Ning, you just crossed the line!” Liu Zhirui exclaimed.

“Yeah, showing off affection right in front of us! No mercy, huh?”

Ning Wuxie ignored them and whispered in Xuan’er’s ear, “When we return, I will explain it to you. Just keep pretending.”

Xuan’er was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Ning Wuxie released Xuan’er, revealing a proud smile.

“Two uncles, while young, one should love more. If waiting until we are a hundred or eighty years old, where will the youthful passion be?”

“By then, finding a partner would likely be just for companionship, without any feelings. How could one talk about love then? Living a lonely life, isn’t that painful?”

Once Ning Wuxie said this, Liu Zhirui and Chang Han surprisingly did not respond.

Both were stunned, mouths agape, but unable to speak.

Indeed, life was long, especially for cultivators. As years wore on, personalities and edges dulled, becoming numb and indifferent. How could one find so-called true love then?

Cultivation emphasized wealth, partners, laws, and land; it was not just talk.

The reason partners ranked second was that they indeed played a significant role in cultivation, not only supporting each other but also sharing resources and cultivation insights.

Moreover, there was an important point: the clarity of thoughts!

Humans are not grass or wood; who can be without feelings? Whether mortals or cultivators, one must have emotional support and feedback to maintain a healthy mindset!

Liu Zhirui and Chang Han looked at Ning Wuxie with some surprise, silently digesting the true meaning of his words.

Even Dantai Ying and Meng Cangran, who were a distance away, turned to look at Ning Wuxie.

In their eyes, there was an unmistakable shock and astonishment!

Ning Wuxie was only fifteen years old, the youngest among this group.

Although cultivators valued strength more, the others still subconsciously regarded Ning Wuxie as a child.

After all, his experiences were not as rich as theirs.

But unexpectedly, a fifteen-year-old boy could view life so freely and thoroughly, not only emotionally but also from a cultivation perspective!

This made Liu Zhirui and Chang Han secretly doubt whether they had wasted their thirty years…

Dantai Ying, after observing Ning Wuxie for a while, had her indifference soften a bit, replaced by curiosity and doubt.

“Brother Ning speaks well!” Meng Cangran, still in shock, clapped and praised.

“Isn’t this exactly what our Confucian Sect teaches about the heart of a child? Brother Ning is open and sincere, with the demeanor of a gentleman!”

He truly believed that Ning Wuxie was not only far superior in cultivation compared to his peers, but his intellect and wisdom were also top-notch!

“Brother Meng is overpraising.” Ning Wuxie humbly replied.

After this exchange, Liu Zhirui and Chang Han lost interest in teasing Ning Wuxie.

The one recording with the orb was this guy, yet why did it feel like they were the clowns?

If the person in that recording orb was indeed him, then this was a clear case of infidelity; he did not love Jiang Ningxuan at all!

How could he say such things?

The two single old masters lowered their heads and continued on their way, utterly perplexed…

Xuan’er, being led by Ning Wuxie, also fell into deep thought at this moment.
