Ch643 - Return to Dragon Clan

Edited by Zaki

Half a year later…

Liu Mufeng stood in the courtyard, staring at his lover whose clothes were tattered, resembling rags, and was covered in blood, looking utterly disheveled. His expression darkened with a frown. “Were you injured?”

“No, my clothes just got ruined, and I don’t have any clean clothes left to change into. The wounds from before are all healed now, don’t worry.” Jiang Xu shook his head hastily and explained.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng’s expression softened considerably. “Baobei, it’s okay if your clothes get dirty, you can always come home to change.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng pulled his lover into his embrace.

“Mufeng, I’ve missed you so much.” Wrapping his arm around his lover’s waist, Jiang Xu softly murmured in his lover’s ear.

“I’ve missed you too.” Liu Mufeng replied gently, stroking his wife’s hair with a unique tenderness reserved only for Jiang Xu. Only in front of his wife would Liu Mufeng display such warmth and affection.

The separated husband and wife embraced for a long time before reluctantly letting go of each other. Liu Mufeng lowered his head to gaze at his wife intently with a look of deep love.

Jiang Xu lifted his head to look at his man as well, taking in the sight for quite some time. 120 years were not a long time when spent in seclusion. But he didn’t go into seclusion for cultivation, he went to break through the Sword Arrays. Every time Jiang Xu encountered difficulties or got injured, he would think to himself:If only Mufeng were here, then perhaps he wouldn’t have gotten hurt, if only Mufeng were here, then perhaps he wouldn’t want to continue attempting to break through the arrays.

Thinking about his beloved, Jiang Xu continued to work hard even when it was tough and bitter times. He wanted to become stronger and better for the sake of his husband Mufeng, Son, and all of his loved ones who cared about him could rely on him.

Liu Mufeng slowly leaned forward and gently pressed a kiss upon his lover’s lips. “I didn’t go to the Sword Arrays to look for you because I was afraid, afraid that I would be intolerant, afraid that I would bring you back.”

At those words, Jiang Xu smiled. “I know, I know you had your reasons for not going. And I also had my reasons for not coming back, I was afraid that if I came back, I wouldn’t want to go anymore.” With that, Jiang Xu lifted his hand and gently caressed Liu Mufeng’s face.

At his lover’s words, Liu Mufeng lowered his head once more and pressed a deep kiss upon Jiang Xu’s lips, filled with desire. As though possessed by some kind of magic, Liu Mufeng’s tongue ignited sparks within Jiang Xu’s mouth as he licked and sucked deeply on Jiang Xu’s tongue.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Xu accepted his lover’s passionate deep kiss. His throat prickled at every gentle suck, his tongue stinging with every pull, until Jiang Xu felt himself truly consumed in his lover’s passion.

Watching the couple disappear behind the door after their passionate embrace, the Third and Fourth Princes exchanged glances before leaving Liu Mufeng’s courtyard.

“Mufeng is really passionate, Sixth Brother just came back and was kissed until his feet went limp.” The Third Prince said with a wry smile.

Thinking about Jiang Xu, the Fourth Prince felt a twinge of envy toward Liu Mufeng. Although there were many women living in his own courtyard, conquering them could not compare to the feat of taming such a wild creature as Jiang Xu.

Thinking of this, the figure of his Sixth Brother appeared in the Fourth Prince’s mind, licking his lips, the Fourth Prince revealed a smile full of calculations. He thoughthe could also try to conquer that man and crush him under his body to give him what he wants.

One month later…

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu sat together, Jiang Xu leaning lazily against his lover’s shoulder with a small snack made by Liu Mufeng in hand as he happily munched on it. Meanwhile, Liu Mufeng was seated beside him, feeding his wife congee.

“Mufeng, when are we leaving the Sword City?” Jiang Xu asked while watching his husband.

“What, there’s still the Sword Pavilion and the Sword Tower? You don’t want to go?” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng fed another mouthful of congee to his wife.

“No, I’ve already asked the Eldest Prince about them; he said the Sword Pavilion is merely a library containing techniques and swordsmanship passed down through generations. It’s not interesting, since we have our own techniques and swordsmanship,I also have my own comprehension of self-created sword techniques. As for that Sword Tower, I had the Fourth Prince take me there before, but it’s also filled with swords and sword intent. However, after going through the Sword Arrays, the Sword Tower is not very useful in comparison.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu explained.

“Okay, if you think it’s useless, let’s return to the Dragon Clan. There is an immortal crystal mine near the Dragon Clan where a lot of poisonous demonic plants were found. Previously, the Emperor Father and adoptive Father left in a hurry due to this matter. Although more than one hundred years have passed, the adoptive Father and Master have managed to control the poisonous plants together, but I am still uneasy.” Liu Mufeng looked at his wife.

“Mm-hmm, then we’ll go back,” Jiang Xu nodded, also wishing to return home.

“There’s no rush. Let’s first visit our Father-in-Law tomorrow morning to bid farewell before leaving. We won’t take the cloud shuttle this time. Instead, Uncle Bai can take us directly back to the Dragon Clan, which would be faster.”

“Alright, I will listen to you.” Jiang Xu nodded in agreement.

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu visited the Sword Emperor to bid him farewell. Liu Mufeng left behind five tea trees from the courtyard as gifts for the Sword Emperor, along with some medicinal pills for the five Princes. Then they asked Bai Hu to teleport them back to the Dragon Clan. Bai Hu had reached the sixth level of Immortal Emperor cultivation, so long-distance teleportation was not a problem, and he sent them straight back to the Dragon Palace.

After returning to the Dragon Palace, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu saw Long Xingtian sitting with Qing Chen, chatting away. Smiling, Liu Mufeng called out, “Emperor Father, adoptive Father, this Child is back.”

“You two little bastards finally remembered you have a home?” Long Xingtian was displeased as he glanced at them.

“What are you saying?” Shooting his husband a glare, Qing Chen turned toward them with a smile. “It’s good you are back. Come sit down already.”

“Adoptive Father, Emperor Father, Mufeng said that something happened in our mine, are you two okay?” Jiang Xu inquired worriedly.

“You two brats took your sweet time to come back. We didn’t wait for you two to solve the issue.” Long Xingtian rolled his eyes at Jiang Xu’s concern.

“It’s all taken care of; Alchemist Jiang and I have already dealt with the situation on that side.” Qing Chen assured him with a smile.

“Oh, good, so there’s nothing to worry about. If there’s anything left unresolved, I’ll come over later today and help clean up.” Liu Mufeng smiled warmly.

“Good.” Qing Chen nodded.

“Why did you two take so long to return?” Long Xingtian complained.

“Oh, I went to break through the Sword Arrays, which took longer than expected.” Jiang Xu shrugged helplessly at this question.

“Sword Arrays? You cleared the 81 sword arrays?” Long Xingtian asked curiously.

Jiang Xu nodded. “Yes, some Sword Arrays were easy to pass while others took longer, so I ended up spending more time than expected.”

Long Xingtian stared at Jiang Xu upon hearing this. “You little rascal, you do have talent when it comes to swords. Not many cultivators can clear the Murong Clan’s 81 sword arrays.”

“Thank you for your kind words, Emperor Father.” Jiang Xu grew slightly embarrassed by Long Xingtian’s praise.

“XiaoXu’s talent is naturally very high, otherwise, it would be impossible to contract the Murong Clan’s Han Xing Sword.” Qing Chen also praised his Son-in-Law warmly.

“After we left, that Sword Emperor didn’t bully you two, right?” Long Xingtian glanced at them both and asked.

“Emperor Father, don’t worry. The Sword Emperor is terrified of you and wouldn’t dare bully us.” Liu Mufeng smiled reassuringly.

“Good that everything was fine.”

“Adoptive Father, is my Junior Brother making progress learning Poison Arts under you?” As Liu Mufeng prepared tea, he asked his adoptive Father.

“En, don’t worry about him. Qixing’s poison art talent is very good, and he is a studious child, learning diligently by my side. Previously, when the poisonous plants appeared in the mine, Qixing also helped a lot. Also, your Master has also put much effort into teaching him. If you have some free time, visit Alchemist Jiang.”

Liu Mufeng paused at this response. “Adoptive Father, is something wrong with my Master?”

Seeing his Son’s worried expression, Qing Chen smiled. “Something did happen, but it isn’t bad news—it’s actually good.”

“Good?” Liu Mufeng was even more puzzled now, wondering what sort of good news could be.

“What kind of good news, adoptive Father?” Jiang Xu couldn’t help asking as he observed Qing Chen’s mysterious response.

“Hmph, that unscrupulous Master of yours managed to entice the Twelfth Elder.” Long Xingtian rolled his eyes at the mention of this incident.

“What? Senior Uncle and Twelfth Elder?” Jiang Xu was quite shocked.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, it wasn’t Alchemist Jiang who took the initiative. It was the Twelfth Elder who took action. That mine we were dealing with is managed by the Twelfth Elder, and Alchemist Jiang made a lot of effort over there, and the Twelfth Elder admires him a lot.”

At his Father’s words, Liu Mufeng frowned slightly, thinking to himself:His Master had already lost three wives— I’m afraid he won’t accept this new relationship.

“I see.” Hearing Qing Chen’s words, Jiang Xu felt somewhat disappointed.
