Just as he walked out of the quiet room, Jing Huilan, who was guarding the hall, sensed the aura. Her exquisite face could not help but reveal a look of joy. She hurriedly stood up and went forward. Only when she saw the broad figure that she had not seen for months did the joy in the corners of her eyes fade slightly. She said leisurely, “Looking at my husband’s expression, I think you’ve gained a lot from this seclusion.”

Shen Ping was in a very good mood. He smiled and walked to Jing Huilan’s side. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead first. Then, he nodded and said, “Not bad. I’ve gained a lot from my seclusion this time. Lan’er, you’ve worked hard. I have to thank you.”

When Jing Huilan heard this, a hint of shyness flashed across the corners of her eyes. Although she had been with Shen Ping for more than five years, it was still difficult for her to let go of such lovemaking. Especially when she thought of her husband’s actions that were like stars, her legs subconsciously tightened, as if she could feel raindrops quietly dripping from the flower bud.

Soon, the quiet wooden bed swayed continuously with creaking sounds in the bedroom. It was as if bees were flapping their wings in the beautiful spring.

Early in the morning a few days later, the cold wind swept into the wooden window that had just been pushed open, blowing away the gradually thickening strange smell.

Jing Huilan was wearing a light pink gauze dress and nestled in the arms of the broad figure. Her voice was soft and weak as she briefly recounted what had happened in Gray Stone City during Shen Ping’s seclusion.

“Recently, the demon Shi Hu seems to have given up on looking for me and my brother. The city gate has been open for half a month, and Gray Stone City has gradually resumed contact with the Black Fiend Valley and other cultivators. The patrolling forces in the city have decreased greatly.”

She hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve discussed it with my brother and the An sisters. I think it’s best to leave Gray Stone City as soon as possible. Although that Shi Hu is a Void Refinement Realm demon, it can only affect the area from Gray Stone City to Black Fiend Valley and one or two surrounding gathering places. As long as we pass through these areas and reach Sword Seal City, we don’t have to worry about our safety.”

Shen Ping looked at Jing Huilan’s pitiful face and said, “If we go to Sword Seal City, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to return to Gray Stone City in the future.”

Jing Huilan fell silent. She naturally understood what her husband meant. The Jing family was destroyed. There was not a day that she and her brother, Jing Yan, did not want to kill the great demon Shi Hu. However, the demon race was very powerful, not to mention that she and her brother only had the strength of the Golden Core Realm. They could not even come into contact with Shi Hu, who was at the Void Refinement Realm. They would even find it difficult to fight the demon patrols in the city.

If not for her divination skills and finding Shen Ping, who could protect them, she and her brother would have died long ago.

Therefore, all these years, Jing Huilan had long hidden the hatred for revenge in her heart. She would only find an opportunity in the future when her strength increased.

Hence, she shook her head and looked up at Shen Ping. Her tone was filled with sincerity as she said, “Husband, I only hope that I can stay safe with you for the rest of my life. As for the family feud, although I don’t dare to forget it, I can only wait for the opportunity.”

Shen Ping smiled. Jing Huilan was able to tell him about her family feud, which meant that she really did not think of hiding any schemes in front of him. Moreover, she treated him wholeheartedly.

If it was before a few months of seclusion, he would definitely head to Sword Seal City without hesitation. However, things are different now.

The crisis in the five continents and four seas had been temporarily resolved. His master had said that there was no hurry to find Venerable Ling Yun. The most important thing was to stabilize his realm first. Therefore, Shen Ping no longer had the urge to go to the Immortal Dao of the human race. Moreover, he had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and obtained a high-grade beast spirit treasure. His strength could be said to have soared. He was looking for an opportunity to test his current strength. The Stone Tiger Clan was the best target.

Of course, Shen Ping was not stupid enough to directly find the city guards or the Shi Hu demon to fight. “Lan’er, let’s put aside the matter of heading to Sword Seal City for the time being. I need to digest the gains from this seclusion.”

Jing Huilan was stunned for a moment before she nodded. “Yes, husband.”

In the main hall in the backyard of the encampment, An Zhi sat on the wooden chair and smiled. “This Senior Shen is really energetic. I wonder how Sister Huilan has endured all these years. Looks like I have to find an opportunity to ask Sister Huilan.”

Her sister, An Yue, looked a little embarrassed. “Sister, how can you say such a thing?”

“Why not? Sister, I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer like this in the future. Naturally, you have to understand it in advance so that you can be prepared.” An Zhi said with a smile.

“Sister…” An Yue glared at her angrily and quickly lowered her head.

However, An Zhi still smiled and said, “Currently, there are very few outstanding cultivators in our human race. It’s even more so in Black Fiend Valley and Gray Stone City. It’s not easy to encounter a cultivator like Senior Shen. We have to seize the opportunity. In addition, the ancestor has also said that he will fully support you.”

An Yue raised her head and said worriedly, “But, but Senior Shen is destined not to stay here for long…”

“So what? When the time comes, you can leave with him. As for whether you can achieve anything in the future, it will depend on your own luck.” An Zhi said softly, “I can tell that this Senior Shen is definitely not an ordinary person.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before they heard footsteps outside the hall. Hence, they stood up and went out to welcome him. When they saw Shen Ping, they bowed one after another.

Shen Ping casually waved his hand and walked into the hall to sit down. He had the Yin Chen Spirit Ring, and the aura of the Nascent Soul on his body had long been restrained. Therefore, be it the An sisters or the Jing siblings, they could not sense it..
