"What does that mean?" Xuan Qingniao asked.
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said, "It means the woman has come around."
"Come around? What do you mean?" A huge question mark rose in Xuan Qingniao's heart.
Chen Nan looked embarrassed.
He hadn't expected this girl to be so pure.
After a moment of thought, he said, "You can understand it as the woman is in love with the other person and willing to marry him. Only men and women who love each other will bring the other home!"
Xuan Qingniao's face turned slightly red, and she asked, "Then are you willing to take me home?"
"I..."
Chen Nan was speechless.
He hadn't expected Xuan Qingniao to ask such a question.
Even though they had already been intimate.
But it was different between physical intimacy and emotional connection!
"When the Three Realms are at peace, I don't see why I shouldn't take you home," Chen Nan finally did not say the cruel words.
After all, he was a pure scumbag.
And among the three elements of being a scumbag, not refusing was one of them.
Xuan Qingniao said softly, "I know we don't have much of an emotional foundation, but I always believe that feelings develop over time."
Chen Nan's eyes lit up and he said, "You're right, I also believe in the saying that feelings develop over time. But, the prerequisite is that you have to cooperate."
Xuan Qingniao frowned, "Are we talking about the same thing when we say feelings develop over time?"
"Shh!" Chen Nan made a shushing gesture and looked into the distance, saying, "Someone's coming!"
Xuan Qingniao did not doubt Chen Nan's words.
After all, this guy had mastered nine Great Daos.
"Do you feel that our cultivation is being suppressed?" Xuan Qingniao transmitted her thoughts to Chen Nan, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.
"This place is strange!" Chen Nan's expression immediately became solemn.
Even Xuan Qingniao could feel her cultivation being suppressed.
Let alone him.
He felt like an ordinary person at the moment.
Both the divine power within him.
And the power of his soul.
Seemed to have vanished.
"Who are you people? Why are you in the territory of my Eastern Sang Kingdom?"
Without any warning.
A black tiger appeared before Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao.
This black tiger was about ten meters long, with a ferocious face, blending perfectly with the night.
If it weren't for the six burly middle-aged men on its back, Chen Nan wouldn't even have been able to spot the black tiger.
In fact, the strength of these six people was not strong.
They only possessed the cultivation of God King realm.
However.
A cultivator at the God King realm was enough to crush Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao.
"Greetings to the six lords, we are humble folk from the mountains and wilds, who got lost in this forest while trying to seek refuge with relatives in the city!" Chen Nan appeared somewhat fearful, not daring to look the black tiger in the eyes.
His demeanor was indeed fitting for an ordinary person seeing the powerful and mighty, or powerful demonic beasts.
As for their attire.
Although it was previously bright and clean.
It had been stained with dust from a fierce battle in the Triple Heaven.
Looking tattered.
It perfectly fit the persona of people from the mountains and wilds!
The leading middle-aged man glanced around and asked, "Have you seen anything strange?"
Before Chen Nan could speak, someone behind him chuckled and said, "Boss, if there really was a great evil appearing here, do you think these two would still be alive before us? They would have been eaten by the ferocious beasts in the mountains long ago."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then smiled and sighed, "You do have a point!"
He paused, then looked at Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao and said, "It is not peaceful here. Since we have met, you should come back to the city with us!"
He waved his right hand, and a surge of divine power surged out, enveloping Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao and landing them on the black tiger's back.
Roar!
The black tiger let out a low growl and, like a gust of wind, carried everyone into the Eastern Sang Kingdom.
"Go find your relatives!" The middle-aged man placed Chen Nan and his wife in the city, and then rode the black tiger away, disappearing from Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao's sight.
However.
After they left, Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao's cultivation did not recover.
"Let's find an inn to rest for the night and gather some information about the Fourth Heaven," Chen Nan casually took Xuan Qingniao's slightly cool hand and led her towards a large inn in the distance.
There were too many unknowns in the Fourth Heaven.
For example.
Why had they suddenly become ordinary people.
This point made him full of curiosity.
Yes.
If their cultivation had been instantly suppressed upon entering the Fourth Heaven, it would have been understandable.
That would have been the suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules.
But that was not the case.
They clearly had cultivation when they entered the Fourth Heaven.
But it inexplicably disappeared afterward.
It was very strange.
They had to investigate it.
Xuan Qingniao didn't expect Chen Nan to suddenly grab her hand.
She instinctively wanted to pull it back.
But in the end, she gave up the idea.
Because she remembered Chen Nan's words: the prerequisite is that you have to cooperate.
Although she didn't understand how to cooperate.
She still held Chen Nan's hand tightly.
However.
Just a simple hand-holding made her heart race and her face turn red.
Images of her time with Chen Nan flashed through her mind.
"Hello, do you still have any rooms available?" Upon entering the inn, Chen Nan said to the innkeeper who was dozing on the counter.
The innkeeper suddenly opened his eyes, but upon seeing Chen Nan and Xuan Qingniao's travel-worn and dusty appearance, his previously enthusiastic expression instantly changed.
It became contemptuous. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "What beggars are you? Hurry up and find somewhere else to stay. This is a high-class inn, how can beggars like you afford to stay here?"
"Do you know how much it costs to stay here for one night?"
"How much?" Chen Nan couldn't help but ask.
It seemed like a casual question.
But it also allowed him to clearly understand the currency used in the Fourth Heaven.
The innkeeper asked with a cold smile, "Twenty taels of silver, do you have it?"
Chen Nan looked embarrassed.
What a joke!
The Fourth Heaven of the Divine Realm, and the currency used for transactions was still gold and silver?
It was really backward.
"I don't have silver, but I do have something else," Chen Nan said, producing a crystal-clear divine stone from his hand: "I found this jade stone by chance. Can I use it to pay for the room?"
The moment Chen Nan took out the divine stone, the innkeeper's eyes lit up with a fervent glow.
He rubbed his eyes subconsciously.
After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, his attitude did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
He quickly said, "Yes, absolutely. This divine... jade stone can be used as room payment."
The innkeeper was extremely excited.
This was a divine stone!
One divine stone could be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold.
And this bumpkin was using it as ordinary jade.
Truly unsophisticated.
Chen Nan looked at him suspiciously, "Your expression has changed a lot. Could it be that this jade stone is some kind of treasure?"
The innkeeper tried hard to hide his emotions and awkwardly smiled, "To be honest with you two, the jade stone in your hand is indeed a good thing, but it's not considered a treasure."
"However, it's more than enough for the two of you to stay here for ten days to half a month!"
Chen Nan casually threw the divine stone to the other party, "Then help us book the best room, and prepare some hot water and wine and food!"
Xuan Qingniao's heart trembled.
Wait.
What was he planning to do?
Why would they book one room for two people?
