Chapter 1071: Chapter 52: Kidnapping the Husband First Leads to Victory_2
Shi Liuli instinctively wanted to dismiss this thought, but the threat from Qiong Ying of Kunlun was ultimately too great. If she didn’t do this, what other way did she have?
Hesitant and uncertain, she instinctively took out six copper coins and cast a hexagram again.
Seeing Shi Liuli start divining, Chen Guanshui immediately became nervous and cautiously asked:
“Liuli, what are you calculating?”
Shi Liuli didn’t answer; what she was calculating was whether choosing to have offspring would make her husband value her more.
The result of the hexagram was very clear: her husband was indeed a sentimental person, and the presence of a child would indeed make him lean more towards her in his heart…
Wait a minute, something’s not right!
Shi Liuli suddenly realized another point: when did this bastard become a sentimental person?
Would a sentimental person hide in various sects and find a lover in each sect?
She instinctively felt that there might have been an error in the art calculation, wanting to calculate again but was limited by the “one hexagram cannot be calculated twice”, and could only repeatedly check whether there was anything wrong with her interpretation.
…No problem? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao’s definition of a “sentimental person” is different from ours as cultivators?
Carefully thinking it over, it didn’t seem wrong.
If he were a ruthless person, he would probably be like most of the heartless cultivators of Shushan, without a Daoist companion, uninterested in love, focused solely on the path.
Like her husband, finding Daoist companions everywhere is more than just being emotional; calling it “recklessly emotional” isn’t excessive.
Moreover, from past actions alone, whether after the father’s passing, accompanying her in supporting the Heavenly Craft Workshop together, or leaving the Heavenly Craft Storage Bag for her before departing, all indicated that her husband wasn’t a profit-driven, self-serving person.
At this thought, an idea suddenly came to Shi Liuli, and she said:
“Where’s the Heaven-overturning Seal the immortal gave you?”
“Here it is.” Chen Guanshui took the Heaven-overturning Seal out of his storage bag, “What’s wrong?”
“Give it to me.” Shi Liuli directly held out her hand to request it.
“Uh…”
“Can’t you?”
“No.” Chen Guanshui sighed and handed the Heaven-overturning Seal to Shi Liuli.
This magical treasure, as strong as it was, just wasn’t needed with his many powerful attack methods. Isn’t the Five Thunder True Law strong? It can subdue evil spirits too! Isn’t the Five Elements Divine Light strong? It can suppress anything of the Five Elements too!
Even if only considering physical attacks, the Mount Tai-crushing power of the Huangting Kunwu Sword was sufficiently mighty, with a big range, too.
Treasure like the Heaven-overturning Seal for single-target physical attack had little use left, so it was kept deep in the storage bag, holding down the stock. Giving it to Liuli Lady now for self-defense was putting it to good use.
It’s just… there’s a nagging feeling that giving it to Liuli now might lead to being hit by it in the future…
I hope I’m just being paranoid…
Seeing him choose to hand over the Heaven-overturning Seal, Shi Liuli’s heart softened.
Indeed, her husband still had feelings for her… it would be even better if he was devoted to her alone.
Marking a line off in her mental notebook, Shi Liuli then explained:
“Though this thing is given to you by the immortal, it’s been a treasure of Penglai for generations. Since you betrayed the sect… never mind, better to leave it with me.”
“If Lady wants to use it, just take it.” Chen Guanshui replied straightforwardly, since he had already given it out, “It’s best if it can be used for Lady’s protection. If not, you can keep it in a room as a decoration.”
“Oh?” Shi Liuli showed a teasing expression, “So you have many magical treasures and don’t need this one, right? Then, why not give me a few more?”
“Not really many.” Chen Guanshui quickly explained, “My skills basically rely on the Five Elements Divine Light, so I usually don’t need magical treasures, and rarely collect them.”
Indeed, even the Heavenly Craft Storage Bag has been given to me.
Although Shi Liuli acknowledged this in her heart, she said aloud:
“Don’t you also have the Huangting Kunwu Sword? If you’re not using it, give it to me too.”
“But, Liuli, you have the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword too.” Chen Guanshui accommodated, “Besides, your strength isn’t in swordsmanship, so why would you need a famed sword?”
“I can hang it on the wall in the room as a decoration.” Shi Liuli said.
The Kunlun Mirror happened to be returning from outside and listening to these two behaving like an old married couple, a sense of warmth filled it, mingled with a slight tension.
The warmth came from seeing their feelings reconciled, somewhat easing the guilt for asking Chen Guanshui to mend the sky which left him isolated.
The tension… this emotion came from nowhere, confusing it as well.
Thinking about how after mending the sky, Chen Guanshui might follow Shi Liuli back to the East Sea, the Kunlun Mirror felt an unspeakable sorrow.
It really wanted to remind Chen Guanshui: After the mending, wasn’t he supposed to accompany it across the famous mountains and rivers, witnessing the changes of time together?
Only upon careful thought did it remember that traveling and sightseeing was Chen Guanshui’s idea; it was still hesitating whether to join him, so they never actually reached a consensus at all!
Now his wife had come for him, and if Chen Guanshui ultimately decided to prioritize family, it would be perfectly fine.
But when that time comes, where was it supposed to go?
Strange, it was nothing more than a mirror left by the Queen Mother in the Divine Palace to oversee the Jade Pond. Why then would it take on the heavy burden of mending the sky later on?
Oh, now it remembers:
Recalling the Queen Mother’s final decision to leave this world, explaining beforehand to someone that it was because the world’s lifespan limit was near, thus she had no choice… It thought at that time, if it could emulate Nuwa’s sky-mending, maybe the Queen Mother wouldn’t have left it alone here?
