Chapter 737: Chapter 735: Exclusive Companion Mark
Dongfang Yi looked into her eyes for a long time before finally looking away.
“It’s already deep autumn, and heading north, the weather is getting colder. The next port where the passenger ship stops is Luodu City, get off there and buy some autumn and winter clothes to keep warm,” he said.
After speaking, he tossed Sally a bag of silver and walked away.
Sally weighed the bag, which was about twenty taels, and hurriedly said, “I thank you on behalf of my deceased husband, rest assured! I will give birth to our child and raise him to be a person who will grow to be talented and awe the world.”
Dongfang Yi suddenly lost his footing and staggered before hurrying off.
Sally laughed out loud.
…
Upon arriving in Luodu City, as soon as Sally got off the ship, she saw a figure that looked somewhat familiar.
The person was dressed in opulent black and gold robes that clearly belonged to no ordinary person, toying with a green jade bone fan in his hand, which had a large and round black pearl and eye-catching golden tassels hanging from it.
“Jian—”, Sally called out loud. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
The man’s figure stiffened and he turned to look towards Sally.
It really was him!
Sally exclaimed with a smile: “Husband—”
Jian smiled, a smile so enchanting it could overturn all creation.
However, soon a heavily made-up woman threw herself at him, “Young master, why have you only just arrived? I have been so impatient waiting for you.”
Sally felt as if she had been struck by lightning, but then she remembered the partner mark she bore from him; it should mean he wouldn’t betray her… Wait, the mark now summoned Welly, does it no longer bind Jian?
Jian raised the fan in his hand to block the approaching woman with heavy makeup, “Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My wife is over there.”
The heavily made-up woman looked in the direction he pointed, seeing a woman with a plain physique and dressed in coarse clothes, deep in thought. She looked back at Jian… the two were as different as heaven and earth, not matching in the least.
“How is that possible! How could a man of such outstanding beauty and elegance possibly be with such an unattractive woman? It’s absolutely impossible.”
Jian teleported to Sally’s side and bent down to give her a deep kiss… In his eyes, he was kissing not the human woman before him, but the soul within this vessel!
In broad daylight, such open affection was indeed not allowed by society!
People immediately began pointing and gossiping about them.
The flamboyant woman covered her mouth in shock, “Such a stunningly handsome man, yet born with a pair of blind eyes, what a pity.”
She turned and went back disappointedly to her luxury carriage, continuing to solicit other clients.
Sally pushed Jian away, “Hey! We’re on the street here.”
Jian took her hand and teleported away to a quiet and less crowded alley, “I went to the Holy Palace, your beast body is still asleep, Xiaomei said you had a soul departure, told me to look for you.”
“I’m still pregnant,” Sally replied.
“No need to worry, Xiaomei has been helping you maintain it,” Jian said as he examined her current body, “It’s really quite ugly.”
Sally glared at him!
“Except for the eyes,” Jian said and kissed her eyes again.
Sally hugged him, “I was about to panic. I was holding our young son sleeping, and then suddenly, my soul transferred to the Human Realm.”
“Someone must have drawn away your soul. Did you encounter anything before the soul transfer?” Jian asked.
“A dragon! A very large dragon with dark golden eyes,” Sally replied.
Jian suddenly scoffed disdainfully, “That’s the Ancestral Dragon! This fellow must have left the Ancestral Dragon Tomb to enter the Human Realm.”
“Ah? That was the Ancestral Dragon?” Sally exclaimed in shock.
“You haven’t dealt with him?” Jian asked Sally.
Sally: “…No, I never thought about it after. You know, I went to the System World. Time there and in the Beast World aren’t the same. A day in the System World is more than a year in the Beast World.”
“Now, the time between different realms has gradually started to differ. Here it might be almost two days, but in the Beast World, it’s only one day.”
“Why is there such a difference?”
“It’s due to the differences between the layers of realms, and it will become more and more obvious in the future.”
“…Forget it, I can’t be bothered to think about it.” Sally said to Jian, “I still have a baby in my belly, I need to hurry back.”
“With Xiaomei taking care of your body, there’s no need to worry. Since you’re already here, why not see what the Ancestral Dragon is up to? And Heavenly Dao, he should have grown up by now. I’ll go and sort him out.” When Jian mentioned Heavenly Dao, a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
“Hasn’t Heavenly Dao ascended yet?”
“His ascension would mean returning to his rightful place in Heavenly Dao, and then it wouldn’t be easy to beat him up. Let me take you to eat something nice. You’re so skinny, I nearly couldn’t bear it.”
“Criticizing me, yet so flamboyant on the street.” Sally gave him a glance, but agreed to have a good meal nevertheless.
Jian took Sally to the best restaurant in Luodu City.
The two ordered a lot of dishes.
Sally ate only a little before putting down her chopsticks, looked at Jian, and poured him a glass of wine, “I have something to ask you.”
“Go ahead.” Jian raised his glass and drank deeply.
Sally asked, “That Luotian Butterfly, I can only summon Welly, not you, right?”
“Yes.”
“…” So it was indeed the case.
Jian looked at her, suddenly realizing something, “Would you like my exclusive partner mark?”
Sally picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the meat pie, “Who would fancy you.”
“I’ll give you one when I get back.” Jian said with a smile, then picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and passed it into Sally’s mouth…
Sally struggled to drink it, her stomach burning hot as she hurriedly pushed him away, “I’m human now, and this body is very frail!”
“After I teach Heavenly Dao a lesson, I’ll take you back to the Beast World.” Jian refrained from further bold actions.
Sally rested her chin on one hand, looking at him, “Why don’t we go back now?”
“The Ancestral Dragon brought you here, he surely has his reasons. But a glance at the use of hair tells me what he’s up to. Just accompany him this once, of course…” Jian took out a Space Jade Bracelet from the Different Space and put it on Sally’s wrist.
“There are some amulets I made for you in there, especially the Sound Transmission Talisman. Call me if you miss me.”
“Are you leaving me?” Being alone and helpless in a strange land, she especially disliked being alone.
Jian pinched her thin, bony face, “It’s still that beautiful face of yours, much more appetizing.”
“Get lost!” Sally kicked him.
“Sure! I’m leaving~” Jian suddenly disappeared from the seat.
The door to the private room opened.
Dongfang Yi strode in, seeing the table set for two, and Sally’s face still flushed with embarrassment, his brows furrowed tightly, “Who have you been dining with?”
Sally replied, “While you’ve been away all these years, I haven’t stopped seeing men. I just ran into an old flame, and we had a meal together, talked about the old times.”
In an instant, the look on Dongfang Yi’s face turned as cold as the deep midwinter.
Sally’s mood was increasingly buoyant!
Dongfang Yi swept his sleeve and turned to walk away…
“Wait a second!” Sally called out to him.
Dongfang Yi stopped in his tracks, “What is it?”
Sally said, “Remember to settle the bill for the meal, and call the waiter in, I want to takeout.”
