Chapter 39 A Woman's Heart

Ziwei Dao Shou's sudden outpouring of genuine emotion caught Chen Xiao off guard.

He had always assumed their relationship was purely based on cooperation, but in reality, it seemed it wasn't.

Hearing Ziwei Dao Shou's words, Chen Xiao was somewhat moved.

He chuckled and said, "What? Is the dignified Dao Shou of the Earth Sect really going to follow her man wherever he goes?"

"You're annoying!"

Ziwei Dao Shou playfully chided, her small fist tapping Chen Xiao's chest.

This was only Chen Xiao; if it were another man, that little fist would have left a big hole in his chest.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I know what I'm doing!"

Chen Xiao said, patting Ziwei Dao Shou's back.

"You're not lying to me? You really know what you're doing?"

Ziwei Dao Shou asked.

"Of course. Just relax. I'm tough... Besides, that bastard Chen Si Hai isn't dead yet, how could I die?"

Chen Xiao said with a cold smile.

"Yes, that bastard. If I catch him, I'll make him wish he were dead!"

Ziwei Dao Shou said through gritted teeth, still remembering his 'daughter-in-law' remarks.

The dignified Dao Shou of the Earth Sect was a very vengeful person!

"Alright, let's go wander around the Immortal Emperor Temple. It feels strange~"

Chen Xiao said, hugging Ziwei Dao Shou, except his hand on her back had changed from a light pat to a caress.

A layer of mist appeared in Ziwei Dao Shou's eyes. Knowing she was about to get emotional again, she quickly broke free from Chen Xiao's embrace.

An old house catching fire—it really burned endlessly!

The sky had already darkened, and there was no one else around. Although Ziwei Dao Shou had broken free from Chen Xiao's embrace, one jade hand was still firmly clasped with Chen Xiao's.

Their fingers intertwined, like an intimate couple.

Chen Xiao looked at the Immortal Emperor Temple, wondering what Wan Gu Xian Di (Eternal Immortal Emperor) would think if he saw his disciples and grandchildren like this.

And thinking of Wan Gu Xian Di, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of Li Ziqing.

Li Ziqing was the true successor of Wan Gu Xian Di, carrying the bloodline of Wan Gu Xian Di.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty... but this was a mistake that all men made, so Chen Xiao forgave himself on behalf of Li Ziqing.

Climbing the steps, the two quickly arrived at the main hall of the Immortal Emperor Temple.

The main hall appeared even more dilapidated, with spiderwebs everywhere. The ground, the low table, and even the solemn statue of Wan Gu Xian Di were covered in a thick layer of dust.

Seeing the statue of Wan Gu Xian Di, Chen Xiao felt even more guilty.

Because this statue of Wan Gu Xian Di, while not exactly similar to Li Ziqing, could be said to be identical.

Even though it was just a clay figure, the features and charm were exactly the same as Li Ziqing.

"What? Surprised to see that Wan Gu Xian Di is a woman?"

Ziwei Dao Shou said with a light smile.

Seeing Chen Xiao's surprised expression, she thought Chen Xiao was shocked by this.

She didn't know that Chen Xiao had long known that Wan Gu Xian Di was a woman, and even Wan Gu Xian Di's descendant, the true successor, was Chen Xiao's woman.

Chen Xiao glanced at Ziwei Dao Shou, but didn't tell her this. Instead, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "So Wan Gu Xian Di is a woman. Then why does the Earth Devil have the image of a man?"

Ziwei Dao Shou rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao and explained, "The Earth Devil isn't a clone of the Immortal Emperor. He's just some bad thoughts from Wan Gu Xian Di... And why would he have the image of a man? It's actually not a secret!"

"Wan Gu Xian Di was born in an era where men were superior to women. Her path of cultivation was suppressed by men everywhere. So for a time, she hated being a woman, questioning why the heavens didn't make her a man!"

"Later, after Wan Gu Xian Di comprehended the great Dao, she finally accepted herself. Being a woman isn't bad at all."

Being a woman was indeed not bad... Ziwei Dao Shou deeply felt this, especially in the last two days.

"And these miscellaneous thoughts became the emotions she wanted to get rid of first. So after the miscellaneous thoughts transformed into the Earth Devil, they transformed into the image of a man."

After hearing Ziwei Dao Shou's explanation, Chen Xiao finally understood, "I see."

As he spoke, he looked at the statue of Wan Gu Xian Di again, his eyes filled with admiration.

As a woman, being able to achieve this was truly not easy.

This not only required exceptional talent and wisdom, but also unparalleled perseverance and an indomitable spirit.

And Li Ziqing perfectly inherited this trait from her ancestor.

Thinking of this, he asked, "By the way, Ziwei, have you ever heard of Wan Gu Xian Di's descendants?"

"Wan Gu Xian Di's descendants?"

Ziwei Dao Shou frowned slightly and shook her head. "Wan Gu Xian Di was alone her entire life. Where would she get any descendants? What? Have you heard that Wan Gu Xian Di has descendants?"

Chen Xiao was immediately stunned. Ziwei Dao Shou didn't know about this?

He was very certain that this was true. After all, Li Ziqing's appearance was almost identical to Wan Gu Xian Di.

But why did even the Ba Tian Sect (Hegemon Heaven Sect) know about this, but Ziwei, as the Dao Shou of the Earth Sect, didn't know?

That's not right... If even the Dao Shou of the Earth Sect didn't know, then it meant that not many people in the entire Hidden Immortal Realm knew about this!

Then how did the Ba Tian Sect know?

There must be something wrong with this Ba Tian Sect!

"It's nothing, just asking."

Since the matter involved Li Ziqing, Chen Xiao didn't plan to tell Ziwei Dao Shou directly.

After all, this was likely to cause the Dao Shou of the Earth Sect to become jealous... It wasn't a big problem, but it would definitely be troublesome!

"Well, if you don't want to say, then forget it."

What kind of person was Ziwei Dao Shou? She saw through Chen Xiao's concealment at a glance.

Chen Xiao was speechless. In the end, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

However, things were beyond Chen Xiao's expectations. After Ziwei Dao Shou finished listening, she didn't show any signs of wanting to compete with Li Ziqing for his affection.

"There's definitely something wrong with this Ba Tian Sect."

Ziwei Dao Shou's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "I've been paying attention to them for a long time. As a sect with a He Dao (Harmony of the Dao) Realm expert sitting in town, they are far too low-key!"

"Ziwei, do you really not care at all about my relationship with Li Ziqing? I promised her that I would marry her when I get out of the Hidden Immortal Realm."

Chen Xiao said somewhat guiltily, but since the matter had already been revealed, he decided to take the opportunity to say everything.

Ziwei Dao Shou looked at him with a questioning look, saying as a matter of course, "Isn't it normal for you men to have three wives and four concubines? Don't worry, I won't fight with her for the position of the first wife. Just remember to spread the love evenly!"

Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. This happiness came too suddenly, right?

To have such a lover, what more could a husband ask for!
