This night, Chen Nan didn’t go home, and Li Xiao also didn’t go home.
Did they sleep in the car? That’s absolutely impossible—they went to a hotel to book a room.
At this young, intense age, plus having not seen each other for a while, when dry wood meets raging fire, a short separation makes the heart grow fonder. Without doubt, this night was wild and was undoubtedly a sleepless night.
As for what went on after tossing and turning on the bed, only heaven and earth and the two of them know; the innocent author knows nothing at all.
The next morning, Li Xiao had to go to work, and Chen Nan also headed to school.
"You silly fool, I haven’t seen your shadow since early morning. Where did you run off to?" Just upon arriving at school, Chen Nan faced Su Qingqing’s questioning.
This girl just knew she couldn’t find Chen Nan early in the morning; she thought he left in the morning, not knowing this guy didn’t come home last night, spending the whole night entangled with Li Xiao, and only fell into deep sleep as dawn approached.
"I didn’t want to make breakfast, so I went out and grabbed something to eat." Chen Nan casually lied.
Su Qingqing, unaware of the reality, believed him unquestioningly, pouting, "You’re really heartless, going out to eat without bringing back anything for us."
Chen Nan laughed and said, "I’ll definitely bring some next time."
If he really did go out to eat, he would indeed have brought some back; the problem was he hadn’t even had breakfast himself...
After morning self-study, Chen Nan went to find Lan Yuqin.
Whenever he looked for Lan Yuqin now, it was basically for one thing—asking for leave.
Given the fact that he had the police identity as cover, Lan Yuqin just nagged a bit and then approved his leave, saying he shouldn’t keep doing this—he attended half a day of class yesterday, and today he was asking for leave again.
Chen Nan nodded with a smile, thanking her profusely for her kindness, and then dashed out of the school, heading straight to the airport.
"Chen kid, where are you headed?"
He had just run out of school when the voice of the Black Feathered Chicken came from behind.
Chen Nan turned around and asked, "Weren’t you going to the countryside to find a hen?"
"I’d already come back after searching; do you think Chicken Lord can stay in the countryside forever?" The Black Feathered Chicken perched on his shoulder, shouting, "Where are you heading off to without attending classes in the morning?"
"Going to handle some affairs."
Chen Nan looked at the Black Feathered Chicken, "Not bad, Dead Chicken, just one trip to the countryside and your cultivation has broken through."
"Found a hen, and my mood was completely uplifted. Even if I didn’t want to break through, it wouldn’t be possible." The Black Feathered Chicken looked incredibly pleased and proud.
Chen Nan retorted, "Stop spouting nonsense; this has nothing to do with some chick. It’s from eating those Soul Devouring Worms in Dead City last time, right? You’ve refined all of them, haven’t you?"
Chen Nan knew very well those Soul Devouring Worms contained enormous energy; once refined, the Black Feathered Chicken’s power was bound to surge greatly.
The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head in frustration, "Chicken Lord managed to recover to the Five-layered Taoist through great difficulty, thinking I could finally teach you a lesson, but unexpectedly, you broke through too and are a whole layer higher than Chicken Lord."
"Stop blabbering, the speed at Five-layered Taoist should be much faster than before, hurry and take me somewhere, it’ll save me a trip to the airport," Chen Nan said.
The Black Feathered Chicken immediately bristled, "Damn, Chicken Lord is not your mount!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Nan grabbed it and walked to a secluded place.
The Black Feathered Chicken transformed into its true form; its enormous body had grown to a height of 1.2 meters, and it glared and asked, "You bastard, where do you want Chicken Lord to carry you to?"
With that, Chen Nan leaped onto the Black Feathered Chicken’s back.
Since returning from Sky Sword Sect last time, he hadn’t seen Gongsun Yudie again. They would occasionally contact by phone, but Chen Nan still felt uneasy about her condition, since you can’t see someone over the phone, and by now, she was over five months pregnant.
The Black Feathered Chicken flew in the air, glancing back at Chen Nan, "Going to see your little lover?"
"You can talk gibberish now, but once we arrive at Sky Sword Sect, you better not say these things, otherwise, if you become a public enemy attacked by everyone, don’t blame me for not saving you," said Chen Nan.
"They can’t fly up here; what does Chicken Lord have to be afraid of?"
The Black Feathered Chicken looked full of disdain and said, "Besides, that girl has already got your child, what else could she be but your little lover?"
"I don’t have time to argue with you; fly faster."
"Tsk tsk, so eager to see her? Seems like you do have feelings for her, huh."
"Nobody would think you’re mute if you shut up."
"Chicken Lord insists on talking; not talking makes me uneasy."
"Talk your nonsense..."
Chen Nan had long been speechless with this ridiculous chicken.
Two hours later, around nine in the morning, Chen Nan arrived at Sky Sword Mountain.
While they were still in the air, the Sky Sword Sect disciples noticed them below, gathering in groups as if facing a formidable enemy. However, upon seeing clearly that the person riding on that giant chicken was Chen Nan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Chen Nan had grudges with them before, the incident of Desire Palace’s invasion last time turned hostility into friendship between the two sides.
Chen Nan descended to the ground outside the Sky Sword Sect’s main hall.
From afar, the sect leader Fang Jingshan approached with a greeting, "Chen Little Brother, long time no see."
Chen Nan stepped forward, clasped his fists and smiled, "We haven’t met for two months, Elder Fang looks more energetic than before."
Fang Jingshan waved his hand and laughed, "I’m getting old and useless, unlike Little Brother Chen, who has had a great leap in cultivation over the last two months; I’m completely ashamed now."
"Elder Fang is strong and healthy, just being modest."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then walked inside together, while the ridiculous Black Feathered Chicken went off to play with the junior disciples of Sky Sword Sect.
Fang Jingshan was well aware that Chen Nan’s visit was to see Gongsun Yudie.
So, after chatting for a while, he sent someone to guide Chen Nan to the place where Gongsun Yudie currently lived.
It was still the back mountain of Sky Sword Sect, but the environment was serene and all conditions were excellent, incomparable to the previous stone cave meant for solitary reflection.
"Senior Chen, it’s right here."
The disciple leading Chen Nan pointed to a small courtyard ahead and then bowed and retreated.
Though young, Chen Nan had high cultivation, comparable to senior members of the sect, thus the disciple was very respectful in addressing him.
"Thank you for leading the way."
Chen Nan thanked him and turned towards the small courtyard.
Approaching the courtyard, he deliberately lightened his footsteps, because he saw Gongsun Yudie sitting in the yard polishing a sword—and the sword she was polishing was the Unrivaled Sword Chen Nan had given her before.
Even though she was pregnant, she often practiced sword fighting to keep her muscles and bones active.
She had just finished practicing sword fighting and was dusting off the sword now.
After stroking her noticeably bulging belly, Gongsun Yudie smiled, "You little rascal kicked my belly again; when you grow up, you’ll definitely be a troublemaker like your dad."
"Who said his dad is a troublemaker?" Chen Nan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
