Chen Ajiu is in the snow.
This realization made Chen Tuan incredibly excited.
"Ajiu, Chen Ajiu, are you here?"
In this frozen world, how could a living person be buried under the ice and snow without being either dead or crippled?
"Cough, cough, cough."
Just when Chen Tuan was about to tell Tang Rao they couldn't find anyone, a coughing sound ca from underground.
It worked.
Chen Tuan's desire to leave was halted.
"Ajiu?"
Chen Tuan used his hands, and a wave of heat surged forth.
With his foot as the center, the surrounding ice lted at a visible speed.
Chen Tuan smoothly fell underground.
Chen Tuan looked around, wondering how the Corpse Emperor managed to create such a huge structure.
"Ajiu, are you alright?"
With the Corpse Emperor's death, Chen Ajiu's Divine Sense returned, and she naturally knew who the man standing in front of her was.
"Fuyao, is it really you?"
Seeing Chen Tuan as soon as she was clear-headed, Chen Ajiu was overjoyed.
She got up and hugged Chen Tuan tightly, unwilling to let go.
History is surprisingly similar; Liu Mingyue once waited bitterly for Chen Tuan and hugged him just like this when he arrived.
Except now, the heroine was Chen Ajiu.
"Yes, it's , I've co to rescue you."
Compared to Liu Mingyue, Chen Ajiu was even more beautiful.
With lightly arched eyebrows, a slightly tinted smile on her lips, her eyes that could lt all the ice and snow, that was the reason why Chen Tuan fell for Chen Ajiu in the first place.
So many years had gone by, yet Chen Ajiu showed no signs of aging; she was still the woman whose glance could captivate Chen Tuan.
"Fuyao, I thought I'd never see you again in this life. Luckily, you're here. By the way, where's the Corpse Emperor?"
The thing that tortured Chen Ajiu for decades couldn't have let her go so easily; it would surely co back for her.
"The Corpse Emperor is dead, don't worry, you're safe now."
Chen Tuan gave Chen Ajiu a reassuring smile while feeling elated inside.
Good thing he hadn't refused Tang Rao's plea to save Chen Ajiu; he thought he would have another burden in the future, but it turned out Chen Ajiu was still the beauty she used to be, unchanged.
"Really? The Corpse Emperor is dead?"
Chen Ajiu couldn't believe it; such a powerful person, what skill it must have taken to kill the Corpse Emperor!
Speaking of the one who killed the Corpse Emperor, both Chen Tuan and Chen Ajiu should feel proud, for it was Tang Rao, a handso man combining both beauty and talent.
Tang Rao was the apprentice's apprentice of Chen Tuan and Chen Ajiu, giving them so much face.
"Yes, Tang Rao killed him."
When facing a beauty, Chen Tuan still couldn't resist the temptation.
"Tang Rao?" Chen Ajiu was most surprised, "I saw him in the tomb of Immortal Emperor Gengyu, but back then my Divine Sense was controlled by the Corpse Emperor, and I almost hurt him. At that ti, even killing the Corpse Emperor's minions was a problem, yet he managed to ascend to the Realm of killing the Corpse Emperor in such a short ti?"
Chen Ajiu didn't ask why Chen Tuan hadn't killed the Corpse Emperor earlier; instead, she marveled at Tang Rao's rapid growth.
As Tang Rao's master, Chen Ajiu felt nothing could make her happier.
"Indeed, that's why I admire that lad; even against , he wouldn't be at a disadvantage."
Chen Tuan's aning was clear to Chen Ajiu; the apprentice had already surpassed the master, and Chen Ajiu was no longer Tang Rao's match.
"Where is Tang Rao? Why didn't he co?"
Chen Ajiu moved her muscles and bones; she was now able to move, and leaving this cave was no problem at all.
"He's still in the Ice and Snow World for a trial. It seems he's reached the third area, just one more level, and he can co out."
Tang Rao reaching the third area was sothing even Chen Tuan hadn't expected.
Reaching the third area and surviving to the fourth, most are Hidden Immortal Emperors with extraordinary talent. Tang Rao's Ancient Taotie Bloodline is strong, but not omnipotent; there could be soone stronger than him. He hasn't even learned Taotie control yet and is likely to be killed if he goes in now.
Chen Ajiu was disappointed, "I see."
They left the cave, and Chen Tuan pondered whether to wait or take Chen Ajiu back to the Kao Shan Sect today, finally deciding to take her back and discuss it further.
After all, the won he brought to the Land of Immortals weren't just one or two.
"Ajiu, let's return to the Kao Shan Sect and wait for Tang Rao. It shouldn't take long for him to return from there."
If Tang Rao were sensible, he'd know the fourth area is difficult to enter and would choose to give up.
That would be the worst outco; Chen Tuan naturally hoped Tang Rao could return.
When Chen Tuan brought Chen Ajiu back, all the won thought Chen Ajiu was their junior sister.
You know how it is, Tang Rao often brought won back from outside, and a group of won wanted to have a good chat with the new "sister," but Chen Tuan, blushing, said to the won, "Everyone, this is my woman."
Finally, it was ti for the hero to rescue the beauty, for Chen Tuan to step up and dissolve Chen Ajiu's awkwardness.
"Oh, it's Grandmaster, the Grandmaster should have introduced earlier so we wouldn't misunderstand."
Tu Hongxiu was the first to smooth things over and get on good terms with Chen Ajiu. Li Shengxuan followed with a call of "Master." The rest of the won were a beat slow and didn't greet Chen Ajiu warmly.
"Hello, everyone."
Chen Ajiu greeted them together.
Once upon a ti, for Chen Ajiu to open her mouth and greet people, unless the sun rose from the west.
"Grandmaster, when will Tang Rao be back? He's been gone for days."
You Xiaoxiao was interested in Tang Rao.
That carefree guy, who knows if he's forgotten about her already.
Chen Tuan couldn't calculate the exact ti, so he told You Xiaoxiao, "It should be soon."
As for how soon, he wasn't sure.
"Forget it, asking is pointless. I'd rather find Sister Bai and ask her how to beco prettier."
You Xiaoxiao hopped away, having just asked about Tang Rao, and while jumping, she already forgot about him.
"These girls, they can't all be Xiao Rao's wives, can they?"
Chen Ajiu said in surprise.
Each of the girls was fresh and beautiful, any one of them pulled out stood out incredibly. If they were all Tang Rao's partners, who knows how many would be envious?
"Yes, they all are, your good apprentice really has an unbelievable way with won."
Even Chen Tuan wanted to learn from Tang Rao how to improve his own charm with won.
Good thing Chen Ajiu didn't use the Mind Reading Technique, or knowing what Chen Tuan was thinking, she'd have quarreled fiercely with him.
Chen Ajiu nodded with satisfaction.
As long as none were Chen Tuan's won, Tang Rao could have as many as he wanted. As a grandmaster and master, she would fully support him.
"It seems my apprentice is indeed promising, not wasting my efforts as a master."
