CHAPTER 559: XUE JINGHONG’S DOUBTS

Fu Xue is short, so her legs are short.

Her legs are short, making driving inconvenient.

But her refusal to give up means she loves doing it anyway.

From time to time, she comes over to Wang Haoran’s place, inviting him out for a drive, to feel the wind.

And precisely because her legs are short.

Every time she tiptoes, trying to see the distant scenery.

It’s Wang Haoran who holds her waist or lifts her legs high, giving her a better view.

And now.

After another long drive with Wang Haoran, finally returning to the Wang residence.

Fu Xue, feeling relaxed and content, sat sideways on Wang Haoran’s lap.

Arms wrapped around his neck.

But she wasn’t talking to Wang Haoran—

“Master, when can I finally grow bigger?”

“I want to try driving like a grown-up!”

Once she became an adult, possessing long legs, she could press the accelerator more easily!

Pressing the pedal hard makes the car go faster!

When the car goes faster, Wang Haoran, sticking his hand out the window, can feel the airflow!

Not like now, where the car is slow, and Wang Haoran can only feel... “mediocrity”!

“Hehe, I’ll definitely be big then, just like Mom!”

“Haoran~ You definitely want to see me grown up too, right?”

She glanced at where Wang Haoran’s hand rested.

Even her small form made Wang Haoran like her this much; if she grew up.

Wouldn’t Wang Haoran become completely lost in her enticing gentleness?

Inside the ring.

Hearing her disciple’s impatience, Xue Jinghong felt helpless:

“Xiao Xue, it hasn’t been that long. Don’t be anxious.”

In this world, finding suitable heavenly treasures was difficult, and she wasn’t at her peak.

For Fu Xue to fully develop her constitution, it would take a very long time.

However—

`Maybe it’ll be sooner than I initially estimated...`

Recently, while examining Fu Xue’s body, she discovered an “unexpected surprise”:

Every time Fu Xue came looking for Wang Haoran...

Her “Pure Wood Origin Body” (Jingmu Yuan Ti) seemed to grow slightly, like a seedling being watered and nourished.

It seemed that even without her help as a master.

As long as Wang Haoran “watered” her regularly and sufficiently, Fu Xue’s special constitution could one day be fully developed.

And just moments ago.

To verify her hypothesis.

Estimating enough time had passed, she wanted to secretly observe her disciple who had just returned from the drive to rest.

`It’s been a whole shichen (two hours)... They should be finished by now...`

Xue Jinghong, always avoiding watching due to propriety and thus unaware of Wang Haoran’s driving duration.

Saw the whole thing live.

“...!”

Terrified, she immediately retreated into the ring for some “me time.”

Even when Fu Xue called for her, she only responded with her voice, not materializing as she usually did.

Secretly sensing the two outside, still clinging together.

Xue Jinghong couldn’t help but mutter inwardly:

`It really is like that...`

`Dual cultivation actually has such good effects? I wonder what the principle is...`

She could sense Wang Haoran possessed the Yin-Yang Twin Body.

While this physique might not surpass Pure Yang or Pure Yin bodies individually, its strength lay in combining both, making it much more potent overall!

However.

As far as she knew, the Yin-Yang Twin Body didn’t have this kind of effect.

`The Yin-Yang Twin Body can nourish spirit bodies, but it’s not this ‘enticing’...`

She really wanted to possess Wang Haoran’s body for a thorough examination.

But she feared she wouldn’t be able to get out once she went in—

`”Xiao Xue, I’m sorry, Haoran’s place here is too... Master can’t return to your side anymore!”`

During this time, she had naturally seen how Tushan Yingyu and Rain Master Tan, both spirit bodies, were utterly captivated by Wang Haoran.

Sometimes, she felt tempted to try it herself—thankfully, her strong willpower had prevailed.

`Speaking of which... that snake has Mid Nascent Soul strength...`

Wang Haoran could easily restrain and subdue even a complete Nascent Soul spirit.

If Wang Haoran really wanted to, she definitely couldn’t escape either...

Although she used to be powerful, she was currently in a remnant soul state.

The so-called “times have changed.”

She naturally wouldn’t assume her past strength equaled present capability.

Nor would she arrogantly look down on this person or that.

Spending her days thinking, “Heh heh, interesting mortal!”

But even though Xue Jinghong realized her current self might not be a match for Wang Haoran.

She wasn’t worried at all.

Because—

`Haoran is Xiao Yun’s child!`

The more time passed, the more she sensed the similarities between Wang Haoran and her disciple, Xiao Yun.

Therefore, judging the son by the mother, she knew Wang Haoran was a good child!

However, while comparing mother and son.

A question suddenly arose in Xue Jinghong’s mind—

`Hm... wait a minute...`

`Back then, I was unconscious for over a year...`

`Even if Xiao Yun was desperate to give birth to Haoran, he could only be one year old at most...`

After she woke up, Xiao Yun was constantly with her, until the day of the incident.

More than a year passed in between.

In that case—

`Even if Xiao Yun secretly went back without telling me.`

`When Xiao Yun passed away, Haoran could have been two or three years old at most...`

But in Xiao Yun’s “belongings,” the photo of mother and son showed Wang Haoran looking seven or eight years old!

`That’s definitely Xiao Yun in the picture...`

She could also see Xue Xiaoyun’s shadow in Wang Haoran.

`But... it can’t be that the child Haoran was just particularly precocious...`

`Looks like I need to find some time to ask properly...`

Not now.

Because she sensed the two outside were starting again...

—

Meanwhile, in the living room outside.

Fu Xue had arrived, and Xu Ruochu, who was always “inseparable” from her, came over too.

Watching Fu Xue instantly go find Wang Haoran for another drive.

Xu Ruochu could only turn to her own master, An Buyu—

“Master, c-can I live with you...?”

“That way, it would be more convenient to ask you cultivation questions...”

She gripped An Buyu’s hand tightly, leaving An Buyu feeling rather helpless—

“Don’t ask me, go ask your Brother Haoran!”

“Wu, I-I’m too shy...”

Ever since Brother Haoran started calling her “Xiao Chu,” she hadn’t stopped smiling.

But after “regaining what was lost,” she acted even more cautiously:

“Master... can you ask for me, please?”

“......”

“Should I help you with the bridal chamber too?” An Buyu deadpanned.

“That’s not necessary!”

“I can do that myself!” Xu Ruochu blurted out quickly.

“...You!”

But in the end, An Buyu nodded:

“Alright, I’ll ask him for you later!”

Now, she, Lin Xixue, and Fu Xue had all “come ashore.”

Looking at the remaining Xu Ruochu, An Buyu decided to help if she could—

`When that happens, we can be like Xixue and Anning.`

`Master and disciple, cultivating together!`
