Chapter 564 - 0334 The Meaning of Lightning (Two in One)
Xu Chang’an indeed has great talent for cultivation—in every sense of the word.
The system simply planted a seed, and on his own, he nurtured it into a towering tree.
It turns out, there’s no need for Xu Chang’an to follow its actions step by step when it comes to guidance.
Xu Chang’an seemed to have rejected the tasks given by the system, yet the system’s objectives were perfectly achieved.
Because Yun Qian’s mood visibly improved.
System self-rescue—great success.
——
At this moment, Miss Yun’s characteristic feminine melancholy was effortlessly shattered by Xu Chang’an’s praise and passionate gaze, just like broken exquisite porcelain, never to return to its original shape.
"I am not worthy," Yun Qian said seriously, but upon closer inspection, a blush was clearly spreading to her earlobes.
"Not worthy?" Xu Chang’an blinked: "I was saying, miss, you look beautiful."
What is she talking about?
Xu Chang’an thought for a moment, then continued, "Miss, you are more than worthy."
He couldn’t allow Miss Yun to claim she lacked allure; such a Yun would mean no woman in the world could be worthy.
"I said I am not," Yun Qian lowered her eyes, and then saw Xu Chang’an’s toes enter her field of vision. Before she could step back, she was embraced around the waist.
"Miss, you don’t like the current attire?"
"Attire?" Yun Qian pinched the hem of her skirt and glanced at it, "I still quite like it."
Xu Chang’an smiled, "Then it’s lovely."
"Mm." Yun Qian let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was just a compliment.
For a moment earlier, she had really thought Xu Chang’an was about to take her to the bedroom.
Though she was happy, having no energy was also unavoidable.
Yun Qian looked at Xu Chang’an and earnestly said, "You... are a bit strange."
"Am I strange? Where am I strange? It’s Miss who is the strange one," Xu Chang’an pointed at the Silk-Wrapped Cyan Rattan by the window and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
How could he not sense Yun Qian’s drop in enthusiasm?
"It’s fine now," Yun Qian held Xu Chang’an’s hand and repeated, "It’s fine now."
"Just because I said you’re beautiful?" Xu Chang’an asked.
"And your gaze."
"My gaze?"
"Mm."
Xu Chang’an blinked, momentarily unable to follow Miss Yun’s train of thought.
What about his gaze?
Xu Chang’an abruptly recalled what he had said before seeing Yun Qian.
Cultivation gave him an opportunity to teasingly bother Miss Yun openly.
Oh no, could it be that Miss Yun had read all his hidden thoughts just now?
"Miss, do you know how to read minds?" Xu Chang’an swallowed, not daring to meet Miss Yun’s eyes.
"?"
Yun Qian tilted her head, looking at him with confusion.
Xu Chang’an was helpless, then said, "As long as you’re in a good mood... that’s good."
Yun Qian softly responded.
Xu Chang’an then looked out at the dense curtain of rain outside the window; just then a flash of lightning illuminated Yun Qian’s slightly flushed face, followed by rolling thunder.
He felt the warmth from Miss Yun at his fingertips, thinking the system’s task was a failure, hence the size of the rain curtain hadn’t changed.
"Thunder... rain curtain..." Xu Chang’an furrowed his brows, not understanding what the connection was.
"What’s wrong?" Yun Qian looked at him.
"Miss, you say... if the thunder and rain curtain got bigger or smaller... what would be the difference?" Xu Chang’an pondered aloud.
"Difference?" Yun Qian blinked, then shook her head.
She didn’t know what the difference would be.
"Earlier, did the thunder sound odd to you?" Xu Chang’an asked again.
"Thunder?" Yun Qian thought for a moment, "Oh, it seemed there was thunder earlier."
She didn’t feel much.
She barely paid any attention.
After all, in the places she resided... whether out of hubris or to keep others from disturbing her presence, there was always surrounding celestial thunder.
Consider the "island" in this world shrouded in celestial thunder, a true forbidden area unreachable even by immortals, perpetually enveloped by supreme tribulation thunder.
Therefore, Yun Qian was completely untroubled by its appearance.
Her husband used to be quite fascinated with celestial tribulation, so there once was tribulation thunder falling right in front of him for him to enjoy.
However.
Yun Qian looked at the seriousness in Xu Chang’an’s eyes, wondering if he no longer liked tribulation thunder.
"Do you not like thunder anymore?" Yun Qian asked as soon as she thought it.
"Me? Why does it come back to me?" Xu Chang’an felt helpless, then said, "Actually, when we were at Celestial Bright Peak, there really was a tribulation thunder right in front of me, so I got a close look."
"Do you not like it?" Yun Qian asked.
Because today Xu Chang’an kept brooding over the thunderstorm, Yun Qian, seeing him unhappy, wondered if he had started to dislike thunderstorms.
If so, then there shouldn’t be anymore in the future.
"Can’t say I dislike it, overall... I don’t really feel anything?"
Xu Chang’an spoke with a puzzled expression.
If he had to say something, it was that this tribulation thunder seemed unimpressive?
After all, how could he feel nothing?
That should be celestial tribulation, the mighty heavenly might, and as someone experiencing it up close, Xu Chang’an considered it normal to feel terror and overwhelming awe.
But then... he felt nothing, as if what fell wasn’t colossal tribulation thunder, but sunlight streaming down.
"Truly felt nothing." Xu Chang’an sighed, "Not an ounce of awe, which is quite disappointing."
Yun Qian nodded, thinking it’s good that he doesn’t dislike it, then said, "Awe, what kind of awe do you wish for?"
