My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 180 - 0130
Chapter 180: 0130
Xu Chang’an walked into the kitchen and began preparing dinner.
He wasn’t the type to belittle himself, but at this moment, he still felt helpless that he couldn’t assist Yun Qian.
Just as the Teacher had said, it took him a year and a half to open his source, with a talent even worse than she had imagined.
"Hmm?"
Wait.
Xu Chang’an’s hand holding the kitchen knife paused slightly, then he looked towards the direction of the Sword Hall on Muyu Peak.
Teacher?
——
In the room, Yun Qian screwed on the lid of the honey jar, sat in front of the mirror, and looked at her pale face.
If she had known earlier that her inability to cultivate would evoke bad emotions in Xu Chang’an, then even if she had to clear the Spiritual Qi from their daughter’s future residence, she would do it.
Thinking carefully, her cultivation was actually a trivial matter, and her panic had nothing to do with cultivation—it was purely because of Xu Chang’an’s loss of composure.
Yun Qian knew the matter was actually easily resolved, so once Xu Chang’an calmed down, she immediately slipped out of her panic.
"..."
Yun Qian thought about how Xu Chang’an had held her tightly earlier, worrying for her... a flush crept up her ears.
It was truly an unprecedented experience.
Nerve-wracking excitement.
Therefore, life shouldn’t always be smooth sailing.
——
After dinner, knowing she had gone against Xu Chang’an’s wishes by resisting cultivation, Yun Qian sat quietly on a chair without saying a word.
Xu Chang’an pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Wen said we should put the guide’s matter on hold for now, and she’ll think of a way in the next few days."
Mentioning Wen Li, Xu Chang’an’s brows furrowed slightly.
He had only noticed at the time that Wen Li mentioned Yun Qian’s elixir field was nearly a Hundred Leaks Body, which immediately made Xu Chang’an connect it with the book’s mention of a body unable to cultivate at all, hence throwing him into panic.
Now that he’d calmed down, thinking back to Wen Li’s words, they seemed strange.
What did she mean Yun Qian couldn’t cultivate normally?
It seemed Senior Wen had hidden meanings in her words but didn’t say them outright.
That’s why Xu Chang’an thought he should find someone to ask clearly.
"We still need a senior to examine Miss again," Xu Chang’an said. "If her elixir field can’t hold Spiritual Qi properly, perhaps there are other methods."
"Okay." Yun Qian continued to nod.
"Junior Master Qin... might not be suitable."
"Okay."
"Miss, is ’okay’ all you can say?"
"I’ll listen to you."
"Alright then... I’ve got an idea." Xu Chang’an picked up the jade talisman at his waist, thinking that elders are meant to be relied upon.
On Muyu Peak, Xu Chang’an tried his best not to owe anyone favors because they’re hard to repay.
But sometimes, because he already owed too many favors, owing more didn’t matter.
For example, his Teacher.
Xu Chang’an thought of when he first started cultivation and couldn’t store Spiritual Qi in his elixir field, seeking help from his Teacher, how similar this scene was to that time.
[If you encounter trouble, come find me.]
"Teacher truly lives up to the title." Xu Chang’an shook his head. "Could it be that when we met today, she already knew I’d run into trouble?"
"What did you say?" Yun Qian didn’t quite understand.
"Miss, the Teacher agreed to let me find her," Xu Chang’an said. "Just today, coincidentally."
"Teacher?" Yun Qian blinked. "You mean the woman who teaches you cultivation?"
Xu Chang’an had indeed mentioned her many times at home, but Yun Qian wasn’t particularly concerned about Xu Chang’an’s Teacher.
Not everyone Xu Chang’an cared about concerned her; Yun Qian had her own criteria for liking someone.
Like Zhu Pingniang, Xu Chang’an was grateful for her early recognition of his talent, but to Yun Qian, Zhu Pingniang was just a passer-by.
In Beisang City, the Wine Lady was just a transient acquaintance to Xu Chang’an, but because the wine was good, Yun Qian remembered her.
"The Teacher is a learned person." Xu Chang’an coughed lightly. "I plan to take Miss to the Sword Hall, she might have a way regarding cultivation."
"I’ll listen to you." Yun Qian asked, "When?"
"Now... never mind." Xu Chang’an paused, shaking his head. "Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the Teacher. If she agrees, I’ll come back to take Miss to Muyu Peak."
He was a person who understood manners.
Even when visiting a Senior Sister, he would pick an appropriate time.
Although he couldn’t wait for even a quarter of an hour regarding Yun Qian’s cultivation, he remained rational. Going to see the Teacher at night... he might just be thrown out.
"I understand." Yun Qian nodded, then let out a yawn.
Having been "scared," Yun Qian quickly became exhausted and was already feeling sleepy.
Xu Chang’an briefly helped Yun Qian wipe her body, then held her onto the bed, letting her rest well so she could go out with him tomorrow.
"..."
After a long while, Xu Chang’an sat by the bed, listening to Yun Qian’s even breathing, and sighed lightly.
She... really could fall asleep.
Xu Chang’an wanted to reach out and touch Yun Qian’s sleeping face, but halfway through, he pulled his hand back.
[Go cultivate.]
It was something he had forced upon Yun Qian, asking her to do it.
Was this truly the right thing?
What Yun Qian wanted, and what he imposed on her, which was the one she should pursue, which was putting the cart before the horse?
Xu Chang’an recalled how when Yun Qian wanted to taste the flower honey, he, concerned about cultivation, grabbed her hand to stop her from eating it, even... momentarily losing control and hurting her.
"..."
Yun Qian could sleep.
Yet he couldn’t fall asleep.
After tucking Yun Qian in, Xu Chang’an quietly left the house and stepped into the nighttime on Celestial Bright Peak.
He arrived at the lakeside of Celestial Bright Peak, staring blankly at the lake’s surface.
Actually, he was quite tempted by the idea of living a simple life with Yun Qian, working at sunrise and resting at sunset as a couple.
If she truly couldn’t cultivate, would that count as the Heavenly Dao making the choice for his unambitious self?
Just kidding.
Miss Yun could take it easy, but he had to get moving.
——
As he pondered, he saw a small boat approaching with a woman in a blue skirt steering it, looking at him curiously, "Junior Brother Xu, what are you doing here?"
"Senior Sister Shi?" Xu Chang’an looked at Shi Qingjun on the boat in surprise.
Shi Qingjun glanced at the glazed jade on Xu Chang’an’s waist, asking, "Did you use the Spiritual Liquid I gave you? How effective was it?"
"I used it." Xu Chang’an nodded and said, "It’s had no effect for now."
Since Yun Qian couldn’t cultivate, it naturally had no effect.
Shi Qingjun: "..."
She thought he must have damaged the Spiritual Liquid’s efficacy; otherwise, an ordinary girl like Yun Qian could’ve started Qi cultivation after one bath, what need was there for any cultivation?
As she pondered, Xu Chang’an suddenly asked, "Senior Sister Shi, what do you think of cultivation?"
"You’re asking me?" Shi Qingjun was taken aback, looking at him oddly.
