Chapter 603: Chapter 338: Past Sins, Triumphant Return, Five Sects Seek Alliance, Exiting the Dragon Heart Cavern (Part 4)

Wen Caishang complained, "You little rascal, if those hairpins and jewelry are lost, it’s on your head." Her long hair was like a waterfall, and today she’d lost face. Although her appearance was beautiful, she never forgot to adorn herself. Hairpins, jade anchors, and step-shaking hair ornaments... all were accessories she wore to enhance her beauty. But they were washed away by the water, all lost.

Li Xian smiled and promised, diving back into the pool to recover the lost hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, jade anchors, and pearl necklaces. Everything was taken care of, and the clothes were dried. Wen Caishang, draped in a white dress, carefully arranged her long hair, handing her hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, and jade anchors... to Li Xian, having him help with the adornments.

Li Xian, having been taught by her, was quite skilled in this practice. Inserting the hairpins, embedding the anchors... The lady’s dignified and beautiful demeanor remained as before, adding even more charm to her brows. Li Xian observed in the mirror and curiously said, "When the lady’s hair is styled up, it must be extremely beautiful too."

Wen Caishang laughed and said, "Since you’re curious, why don’t you style it?" She removed the pins holding her hair, and her long hair fell like a waterfall, its fragrance teasing the tip of his nose. Li Xian’s "Miao Hand" ability helped Wen Caishang style her hair into a bun, making her appear more dignified and mature than before.

Li Xian supported her right hand, applying force to help her, and Wen Caishang leaned slightly, using the support to stand up, giving Li Xian a sharp glare, and spat, "You little rascal, always toying with me." She walked slowly and deliberately.

Li Xian said, "I see the lady doesn’t reject it." Wen Caishang glared and cursed, "I just can’t do anything about you. Otherwise, how could I... Forget it, I won’t speak on this matter. Someday, I will find a way to punish you to get back at you." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Wen Caishang said, "Alright, there seems to be nothing left in this tomb worth staying for. Let’s prepare to leave." Li Xian casually said, "Who would’ve thought, amidst the tomb, there’d be such romance? Madam, why don’t we just not go out and hide away here?"

Wen Caishang laughed, "Don’t I know you? If you were really determined, you wouldn’t have run off secretly back then. You’re just saying that to make me happy."

She said, "I’ve already made up my mind. Last time I ran off, I really forced you to glare, scaring you away. This won’t happen again in the future, Mr. Li La... If that’s the case, will you listen to me well and always stay by my side?"

Li Xian said, "Even if the lady wants to glare at me, I will always stay by your side. The lady has taught me martial arts, passed on knowledge; in my heart, the lady is always unique."

Wen Caishang laughed, "You might have said these words to any other girl. I won’t believe it. But for us to open our hearts to each other and break down barriers is indeed rare."

Li Xian said, "The lady being so understanding really makes me..." Wen Caishang jokingly said, "Are you thinking of me telling you to stretch out your hand so I can pierce you with a few Heartache Sword strikes?"

The two walked unhurriedly, chatting and laughing as they returned to the Lake Heart Pavilion. There was no sign of the Five Sects anymore. Wen Caishang laughed, "Earlier, they sent people to find us, probably knowing they were surrounded by He Wentian and wanted to seek our cooperation."

"They couldn’t find us, so naturally, they risked trying to save themselves."

Li Xian thought of Lin Aoshan, Zhao Chunxia, and other ladies. Though he didn’t know them long, he didn’t want them taking risks. Wen Caishang said, "Are you worried about them?" Li Xian said, "Not really. The Five Mountains Sword Sect has no relationship with me; whether injured or dead, I don’t care."

Wen Caishang thought, "But you do care about those beautiful Sword Sect girls." She gently said, "The Five Great Sword Sects are well-established in the Jianghu, so they must have some capability. You, little rascal, needn’t look after them all the time."

Li Xian thought, "That makes sense. The lady’s extensive Jianghu experience is beyond what I can match. I should listen to her. We should first leave the crypt, then consider what happens next."

Wen Caishang said, "The Nine Orifice Dragon Heart Acupoint path is intricate. Though He Wentian has occupied the crypt for long, he may not be as familiar as I am. Let me observe, and I can find a rarely disturbed passage to leave."
