Chapter 55: Xuan’er’s Extraordinary Gift (1/2)

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuxie was taken aback.

He immediately became alert!

The Huangquan Assassin was not an ordinary person!

Huangquan was an organization specializing in assassination on the Spirit Martial Continent.

This organization had no base, no sect, only a name floating in the Underworld.

Ordinary humans could never find their shadow, while those with connections would always see the Huangquan Assassin appear when needed.

Once the Huangquan Assassin took action, the price was steep, and they would surely send the target to the underworld, leaving no chance for survival!

Although it was currently unknown who the target was, Ning Wuxie had to remain vigilant.

This journey seemed destined to be unsafe!

…

“Brother, are we not going into the cabin? I’m a bit cold.”

As the sky darkened and the night wind picked up, the temperature was even lower above. Xuan’er shrugged her shoulders, her voice trembling slightly.

Ning Wuxie still did not dare to return to the cabin, as there were still many cultivators on the deck. Bai Zhou was playing in the distance, unable to hear the humans talking.

He continued to observe, trying to determine who might be the Huangquan assassin. Returning to the room too early might give the assassin an opportunity to strike.

Ning Wuxie had to prepare for the worst, assuming the target was himself.

After all, he had just offended Li Luobing, who was very likely to send an assassin to eliminate him.

“It’s cold, come into my arms for warmth. Just hold on a little longer, we’ll go back soon.”

Ning Wuxie opened his arms, signaling for Xuan’er to come in.

Xuan’er took a step forward but then hesitated.

“Isn’t that inappropriate, brother? We are siblings…”

She lowered her head, feeling a bit shy as she glanced at Ning Wuxie.

Ning Wuxie was stunned, seemingly not expecting Xuan’er to say such a thing.

What a joke, he had bathed her when she was a child!

He had seen her body after she grew up!

It hadn’t been long since then, so why did it suddenly feel embarrassing?

“Ha ha, Xuan’er has grown up and understands the difference between men and women.”

He smiled, feeling a sense of relief, but why did his heart feel empty?

“Then I won’t hold you. How about I take off my outer garment for you… Xuan’er? What’s wrong?”

Just as Ning Wuxie was about to take off his outer garment, he saw Xuan’er looking at him with a disappointed expression after hearing his words.

She widened her eyes in surprise, then lowered her head, puffed up her cheeks, and looked at Ning Wuxie with a resentful expression.

He only declined a little, so why was he really not going to hold her?

She had said that just to play the role of his little sister!

Ning Wuxie was once again stunned; the little girl’s expression changed too quickly.

Was it a yes or a no?

Seeing Ning Wuxie not moving, Xuan’er’s expression became even more resentful, and there was even a hint of urgency in her demeanor.

Ning Wuxie immediately understood and quickly reached out to pull Xuan’er into his arms.

Xuan’er was soft and did not resist at all, pressing tightly against Ning Wuxie’s chest, as if she had burrowed into a warm bed.

Watching Xuan’er’s face gradually turn red and her body stiffen, Ning Wuxie thought for a moment and then spoke:

“Let me hold you; it’s too cold up here, and I’m afraid you’ll freeze.”

He gently considered Xuan’er’s pride.

Xuan’er softly responded, “Yes, then there’s no other way…”

Ning Wuxie held Xuan’er as the last passenger on the deck walked into the cabin, and Bai Zhou came over, wagging its tail.

“Human! Are you not going into the cabin? Do you want to freeze Miss to death?”

Xuan’er could not tolerate Bai Zhou speaking to Ning Wuxie like that and immediately scolded:

“Bai Zhou, how can you speak to my husband like that!”

Xuan’er’s eyes widened, her brows furrowed in anger. Now, with a somewhat mature appearance, she inadvertently exuded a hint of regal authority.

It seemed she was genuinely angry.

Bai Zhou immediately lowered its body, glaring fiercely at Ning Wuxie before wagging its tail and walking away. Upon seeing Ning Wuxie stand up and hold Xuan’er as they walked toward the cabin, it followed behind.

Ning Wuxie did not mind Bai Zhou’s attitude, as he already knew what kind of personality Bai Zhou had.

What he cared about was Xuan’er’s earlier scolding of Bai Zhou.

That word “husband,” was it too casual…?

That night in the cabin, Xuan’er and Ning Wuxie sat on the bed, with Bai Zhou lying beside them.

“Xuan’er, are you tired? Brother said he would teach you a powerful cultivation technique tonight.”

“I’m not tired!” Xuan’er wrapped herself in the quilt, sitting cross-legged and revealing her little head, listening with great interest as Ning Wuxie began his lesson.

“This cultivation technique is called… Unbounded Sun Technique, much more powerful than the previous Spirit Mantra…”

Ning Wuxie decided to teach Xuan’er the Unbounded Sun Technique.

Even Jiang Ningxuan from his past life probably wouldn’t have this cultivation technique.

But he still taught it, wondering if Jiang Ningxuan would use the cultivation method he taught her to kill him after she awakened.

“Brother, what happens next?” Xuan’er asked.

Looking at Xuan’er’s innocent and adorable face, with her sparkling eyes fixed on him, Ning Wuxie shook off his chaotic thoughts and began to explain the Unbounded Sun Technique to her.

Bai Zhou lay beside them, also wrapping itself in its fluffy tail like Xuan’er.

Upon hearing that Ning Wuxie was going to teach Xuan’er a cultivation technique, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but sneer.
