Forsaken Immortals Chapter 53 - Husband And Wife

Chapter 53 - Husband And Wife

Opening the door to the bed chamber, Li Moyun saw Bai Rouyun seated on the bed. Her facial expression was relaxed, and she seemed as if a hint of a smile played on the corner of her lips.

She was as leisurely and at peace that no one would think that she was in the midst of a breakthrough.

Looking at her, Li Moyun could not help but smile helplessly and shake his head. This was a true genius! How could she possibly be able to breeze through a breakthrough? Usually, there were bottlenecks, and it would be natural if she was frowning or furrowing her brows.

The heaven and earth essence in the surrounding air was pouring into her body, and he could see that she was nearly glowing from the energy that was coursing through her meridians.

It took her as long as it takes for an incense stick to burn before she had completed her breakthrough. Although she had finished it, there were no signs of discomfort, not even a drop of sweat.

Bai Rouyun slowly opened her eyes and saw Li Moyun leaning against the door, looking at her with admiration in his eyes.

She knew that she had gained an immense talent for cultivation, and that if others knew of it, they would be jealous. However, Li Moyun was different. He had not been greedy for her Primal Chaos PaG.o.da; neither had he spurned her when he found out that she was a soul that took over the body of a deceased.

He had always been backing her, and even now, when he saw her cultivate and breakthrough into the Acquired Realm, Earth Tier, Mediate Layer, he was not jealous, but rather pleased with her.

"I heard you were looking for me," Li Moyun said as he looked at the relaxed woman. He was speechless, but he was also happy that she had such an outstanding talent. If she were not talented, she would never be able to get her vengeance against the other families and sects, and she would have to rely on the Eternal Shadow Palace to back her up.

He knew that she wanted to get her revenge personally, and if she could not, then she would become dejected. Therefore it was surprising that she was so fast at cultivating.

"I was looking for you because I am going to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension," Bai Rouyun told him. "I don't know how long I will be gone for, but I need to consume a Marrow-Cleansing Pill. It will be quite excruciating, but it will be worth it."

"You have Marrow-Cleansing Pills?" Li Moyun asked, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head. "I am not proficient in refining them yet, but after a few more attempts, I should have gotten the hang of it. It took me more than ten tries to refine this pill, but it is also of superior quality, and there are no impurities in it."

Hearing the words, Bai Rouyun said, Li Moyun widened his eyes in surprise. Although he also had alchemists in the Eternal Shadow Palace, they did not have the formula for the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and as such, they had to buy them at a high price from the alchemists who did have the recipe.

"Would it be possible to have you make a few Marrow-Cleansing Pills for me?" This was the first time that Li Moyun asked anything from Bai Rouyun, and she could not help but smile sweetly.

"You can have the formula," she said happily. "I have so many extinct and rare formulas that giving a few away is no big deal. It is not yet easy for me to naturally refine them, but that is because I am a novice Alchemist. I am only at the first tier, and the Marrow-Cleansing Pill is amongst the hardest first-tier medicines to refine.

"If you have an alchemist who is at the second or third tier, their results with the Marrow-Cleansing pill will be much better than mine."

Li Moyun narrowed his eyes as he heard what Bai Rouyun said. She did not mind giving away the formula, even when it was so rare? He felt happy, but he was also against taking advantage of his wife.

But Bai Rouyun could see his thoughts, and quickly waved her hand. "We are husband and wife," she said dismissively, "it is only natural that we help each other. Also, Little Chu is helping me all the time as my bodyguard, and I can see it as paying back for having an Innate Realm, Blue Tiered, Sixth Layered cultivator as my bodyguard. I bet this backwater kingdom doesn't even have anyone higher ranked than a green tiered cultivator."

Li Moyun smiled slightly. He knew that she was just saying this to make him feel better, and he did feel better. This was the first time that Bai Rouyun personally had said that they were husband and wife, and it was making him extremely happy.

Since she had the thought that what belonged to the wife belonged to the husband, he would not stand on ceremony. Instead, he promised himself to look after her even better in the future.

As things were now, Li Moyun truly liked Bai Rouyun, but he had not sat down to really think about what kind of emotions he had towards her. Was it pity? She had lived such a hard life before, but now she had been given a second chance in life, and he felt that it was good.

But was it pity? Or was it the feeling of having found a like minded soul, someone who was very much like himself, and thus he wanted to be closer to her?

For there was no way that it could have evolved into love, was it?
