Chapter 192 - "What Are Your Plans?"

Knowing that there was a reason behind the constant urge to sleep, Bai Rouyun said nothing more, instead she just shook her head with a smile adorning her face.

She sat down and looked at the good-looking dishes that were placed on the table. All of them were made from magical beast flesh or from spiritual herbs and vegetables.

Usually, when one consumed these dishes, their cultivation base would increase. Still, when looking at the medicinal properties of these herbs and plants, Bai Rouyun noticed that they all adjusted one's physical body. They were not for increasing one's inner energies, but for the sake of conditioning one's body.

She could not help but feel her heart grow warm as she noticed the consideration that Li Moyun held towards her. Even when considering what to eat, he would look at her situation, and find the most suitable dishes.

The smile on her lips turned sweeter, and her brilliant eyes shone like the stars in the sky.

Seeing her this happy, Li Moyun could not help but feel content. In the eyes of the cultivation world, he was the fearful and terrifying Eternal Shadow Lord, but in front of Bai Rouyun, all he wanted to be was a loving husband who would spoil his wife.

The two began moving their chopsticks as they slowly enjoyed the food. After spending some time in the mountain forest, Bai Rouyun was rather pleased to return to civilization, and to the benefits that it brought along with it.

It was not that she could not cook delicious food in the forests, but it often caused many problems. Beasts would hunt them at night; if they had a bonfire burning during the day, other experts would find them, and would want to eat their food. Not to mention that the time it took to cook the food, and to clean up afterward.

"How are the factions doing?" she asked, as she looked at the peaceful surroundings. "I do not doubt that they are rather fearful towards you, and I could feel the dense killing intent and the scent of blood when I entered Canglan City."

Bai Rouyun had already been aware that Li Moyun had chased her away for the sake of handling the men who had snuck into the city recently, but she had never expected that they would end up as mountains of corpses, which in the end could only be buried in a ma.s.s grave.

These experts were not amongst the cream of the crop within the world of cultivators. Even so, they had been loyal to their factions for a long time, and they were willing to do many things to remove obstacles for their masters.

Now, they had given their ultimate sacrifice, but the factions were not even grateful. Many of the leaders were somewhat unhappy that they had gotten no information back, and even if these experts had died, it was not a loss that truly moved these faction leaders.

Knowing the lack of emotions, Bai Rouyun was feeling uncomfortable. She could guess that these experts would have been sad if they knew that their deaths were pointless, but she did not pity them.

In this world, you had to sometimes stand your ground and show your att.i.tude, or you would be trampled all over by the other experts. These experts were not guilty of any crime, but they had still gone against Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun. Thus it was natural that they would try to wipe them all out.

"There are no more experts within Canglan City who wish to snoop around in our matters." Li Moyun smiled tenderly as he reached out his hand and caressed Bai Rouyun's head.

"But, according to Little Chu, since the henchmen were not successful, the factions have now sent their geniuses. They are not here under cover of darkness. Instead, they plan to enter in an upright manner.

"While it is somewhat more troublesome, I am quite sure that we will be able to deal with them within a short amount of time too.

"I would suggest that you return to the Blue Water Inst.i.tute. I have spoken with the princ.i.p.al, and he has accepted that you can bring Mo Chu with you everywhere you go.

"He will be able to keep you safe, and he will also be able to a.s.sist you. I will be here, waiting for you to come back every evening, but during the day, I will have to deal with these youngsters."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head obediently. She was very happy that he cared so much for her, and she could not help but feel satisfied with her life as it was right now.

"What are your plans from now on?" Bai Rouyun looked at Li Moyun doubtfully. She knew that up until now, he had been spending all his time on cultivating and developing his forces, but now it seemed that he was extremely leisurely.

"I will stay in Canglan City for now." Li Moyun had no intention of hiding his whereabouts any longer. His ident.i.ty was exposed, and thus he had nothing to fear, as he stayed by Bai Rouyun's side.

He had no intention of turning lazy; his cultivation was still very important, but being able to cultivate by Bai Rouyun's side not only increased his speed of cultivation, but also caused him much joy and happiness.

Since the truth about the ident.i.ty of Bai Rouyun's first life had been unmasked, Li Moyun had felt an urgent need to cultivate.

He knew that Bai Rouyun would not let him down and leave him for fame and fortune, but he could not accept that he would become a weak expert who might even be used against her.
