Protoganist's Sidekick Fights Back

Chapter 29: Leaving The Village



The following morning, Bai Yunxi awoke to the gentle caress of sunlight. Her body was still in his arms.

"Xi'er, good morning," he said as he kissed her forehead and greeted her.

"Um. Good morning," she said as she woke up from bed.

"Do you wish to travel more?" He asked.

"Um. Two more days." She said.

They travelled for another two days, this time with a renewed sense of purpose.

They talked of the world beyond the Qingyun region, of the different sects and the vast array of cultivation techniques that interest her.

The journey was a delightful mix of excitement and tranquility. They stopped at quaint inns along the way, where Bai Yunxi would practice her newfound skills, her eyes alight with the thrill of progress.

Not just her cultivation speed but even her comprehension ability is very fast. She could easily learn cultivation techniques and skills now.

She is marvelling at the miraculous effects of the elixir. Her cultivation aptitude, perception ability, soul power, and physical body have become stronger.

"Husband, thank you for this amazing gift." She said as she finished reading a cultivation skill.

Su Kang didn't expect that pill to have such effects. The only drawback is that her qi cultivation realm has fallen a lot.

Her cultivation realm has gone back to her teenage years, or her body has been restored back to her teenage years.

Su Kang was happy for her and also realised why that pill was not suitable for him. If he even lost ten years of his cultivation, then he will be going back to the Qi refining stage.

He is only 24 years old now. If his body is gone decades back, then he might turn into a child. Both scenarios are unacceptable to him.

But seeing Bai Yunxi's excitement and the way she absorbed knowledge, he knew it was worth it for her.

After finishing her cultivation, they went to bed. She snuggled up to him, and his arms held her body.

She closed her eyes, feeling his warmth and heartbeat as his hands caressed her head. This has become their daily routine.

This gives her a sense of security and belonging. These days she has seen many villages and cities around them.

They travel all day and talk about cultivation at night. After finishing discussion at midnight, they would embrace each other till the morning.

She could feel their bond strengthening and a new spiritual connection between them. After looking into each other's eyes for so long, she could understand his thoughts to some extent now.

"I think I will get addicted to this feeling." She voiced her thoughts.

"Then I will be relieved. I don't want to compete with talented young geniuses from the central plains for you." He said as he hugged her tightly.

"What do you mean?" She frowned.

"You are beautiful and incredibly talented with a noble aura around you."

"I don't think I'm suitable enough for you now anymore. Maybe you will also realise this in the future and leave me for someone else." He said in a sad tone.

She was taken aback by his response. They just married a few days ago, and now he is talking like this.

"Do you really think I would do something like this?" She asked with a shocked expression.

"Powerful female cultivators, when they are the main pillar of the family, take multiple husbands or lovers." He said with a sigh.

"My wife might be like them one day."

Her expression and mood were completely beyond understanding. She felt like she had been betrayed.

"Hihi, hahaha," he suddenly laughed out loud.

"You... You…" she suddenly bit his arm.

But his body was way stronger than hers. He was caressing her head as she kept biting him.

"Sorry, sorry. Forgive me; you were looking so cute that I couldn't help but tease you." He said

"I will not talk with you anymore. Let me go now." She stopped biting and struggled to leave his embrace.

He let her go and grabbed her waist before jumping out of the window.

She struggled, but it was futile. He took her to near a pond, landed on empty ground, and took out a cloth. He spread it on the ground and lay there with her.

"You're not mad at me, are you?" He asked with a playful smile.

"How could I not be? You talked like that just now; it's not funny!" She replied, her cheeks flushed with anger.

Su Kang sighed, knowing he had crossed the line. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just wanted to lighten the mood."

"I thought you were a gentleman, but now I feel I was fooled by you."" Her cheeks are still puffed.

"Finally, you got it right. I was fooling you so that you could marry me. Otherwise,

I didn't have such a blessing to become your husband."

"Sometimes I'm really jealous of Li Xiao. If only you were born in a strong cultivation family, then..."

She closed his mouth with her angry look.

His expression was serious this time, but she didn't want to hear his words anymore.

"I'm sorry. I will not talk about this subject anymore." He said as he caressed her hair.

Bai Yunxi looked at him, her eyes filled with a mix of surprise and emotion.

"I..."

She opened her mouth, but this he closed her mouth.

"We will one day talk about this. At that time I will ask some questions that you won't answer now, so let's not think about this."

"Look at the sky and get addicted to this soon. If not I'm afraid you will one day seriously run away" He said as he hugged her.

...

The next morning, they ended their travel and returned back to the village in the evening.

Su Kang decided to arrange a banquet for the villagers who took care of them.

He will leave the village in two days with Bai Yunxi and Madam An. The next day, a banquet will be arranged.

Bai Yunxi and he returned back to their residence in the outskirts. He guided her in the cultivation and explained many things.

Since her talent is improved, she is really working to become his strength in the future.

After that he embraced her to sleep. He is thinking about suitable cultivation skills and techniques for her.

Currently he is managing with the cultivation techniques of the Qingyun sect, but he doesn't have all the techniques of the sect.

The Su family didn't have any techniques suitable for her either. Right now her cultivation is low, so he can easily provide her resources.

The next morning he asked the old man He and Madam An prepared for the banquet. He asks Bai Yunxi to join him in Rift Valley City to buy ingredients.

They explore the city's bustling streets and the scent of spices. During their shopping trip, she encounters a person selling treasure maps in one shop. She decides to buy it to explore ancient realms filled with resources. She also bought some books.

Su Kang is amazed by her naivete, but he didn't stop her.

In the evening, the banquet was set up in the village square. The villagers had decorated it with colourful lanterns. The smells of roasted meats and fragrant rice filled the air, mingling with the laughter of children playing nearby.

Su Kang and Bai Yunxi sat at the head of the table, receiving well-wishers and sharing stories of their journey.

They distributed the gifts among the villagers. The villagers were happy and decided to take care of their house in the outskirts for them.

Su Kang appreciates their thoughts and told them that in the future he and Bai Yunxi will visit this house to spend some time in the mundane world to relax.

He was already going to keep this house; now he will hand it over to them for maintenance. He will arrange a qi gathering array in his courtyard for them to cultivate.

Some of the village kids can practice with a peace of mind in his residence.

Soon the banquet ended, and villagers returned to their homes with smiles.
