Chapter 541 Zheng Yaqin's Hesitant Speech

"Waaaaah... Chen Xuan... my husband, it's... it's all my fault, waaaaah!"

In a luxurious silver-white palace, Zheng Yaqin sat alone on a large bed covered with soft brocade and decorated with lavish ornaments.

At this moment, she was tightly holding the exquisite hairpin that Chen Xuan had once given her, seemingly recalling many beautiful memories between them. But now, the hairpin had become a symbol of her endless regret and self-blame.

But in the next instant, the hairpin that had been lying quietly in Zheng Yaqin's hand suddenly flashed with light and began to rapidly change shape.

In the blink of an eye, the light faded, and Chen Xuan miraculously appeared in front of her!

"Yaqin, you said it yourself! You've already called me husband, so I'm going to have a proper celebration!" As he spoke, he gently approached Zheng Yaqin and gazed affectionately into her red and swollen eyes from crying.

"Oh!" Zheng Yaqin was startled.

"Chen... no, you, who exactly are you? How dare you impersonate my husband to deceive me?!"

Zheng Yaqin's eyes widened suddenly, and she took a step back. A flash of light revealed that she was holding a celestial sword that gleamed with a cold light in her hand. It seemed that she would attack without hesitation if the person in front of her made the slightest move.

"I am Chen Xuan," Chen Xuan said innocently.

"Impossible! My husband Chen Xuan has already... has already met with misfortune! Don't spout nonsense here! I warn you, this is the territory of a Celestial King. If you dare to be presumptuous again, you will never return!"

Zheng Yaqin looked at Chen Xuan's face, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her eyes gradually reddening.

Thinking of her once loving husband, now separated by death, her heart ached as if being pierced by needles.

"You're quite cautious, so I'll prove myself then. Little Sprite who loves Coke, hmm?"

These words struck Zheng Yaqin like a thunderbolt. She froze, her previously hostile gaze turning blank. After a long while, she came to her senses, and tears streamed down her face.

"You...you jerk! Where have you been all this time? Don't you know I'm all alone here...waaaaaah!" Zheng Yaqin cried as she lunged at Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled helplessly and let Zheng Yaqin throw herself into his arms. He gently stroked her hair and comforted her:

"I'm sorry, Yaqin, I'm late... Wait, it doesn't seem that late, it's only been three or four days, right? You've misled me, it's not that long!"

"Waaaaah, you're so mean..." Zheng Yaqin cried even harder upon seeing this, clutching Chen Xuan's arm tightly as if afraid he would disappear again.

Chen Xuan held Zheng Yaqin in his arms and patiently comforted her. After a long time, Zheng Yaqin's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Alright, Yaqin, we still have a lot to do, we can't waste any more time." Chen Xuan gently wiped away Zheng Yaqin's tears and said softly.

"What's going on? What's going on? I'm practically being held captive here by my good son!"

"Semi-imprisonment?"

"My lord, let's put aside that rebellious son for now. What I really want to know is how you survived? Where have you been all this time?"

"These past few days... I've been doing some important things at the mine, and as soon as I finished, I rushed over here!"

"As for why I didn't die, that's because..."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he magically produced another silver-blue hairpin.

"Hairpin?"

“That’s right, this hairpin is also a part of me, so I can go to any place with a hairpin or any place I’ve marked at any time.”

"Oh, so that's how it is! So, my husband, we were..."

"Of course! After all, I am an ascendant. I am already extremely proficient in the art of survival, so even if a Celestial King or Celestial Emperor came, they would not be able to kill me completely!"

“My husband is truly amazing! But what should we do next? This is the territory of the Celestial King. It won’t be easy for us to leave here,” Zheng Yaqin said with some worry.

"Why leave? This place has a beautiful environment and abundant resources. Isn't it the perfect training ground for us?" Chen Xuan smiled.

"Ah? No, not leaving here? Could it be that you mean, my husband..."

"We're going to do something big here!"

"Big news? What big news, my husband?" Zheng Yaqin asked with a delighted smile.

After being cared for and understood by Chen Xuan during their time working as miners, Zheng Yaqin believed Chen Xuan's words because she knew that her husband would never let her down.

“That is…!” Chen Xuan said, then lunged at Zheng Yaqin.

Inside Yu Qingcheng's secret chamber.

"The presence of outsiders? How is that possible? My decision has always been to remain secluded from the world, but now... their location is in Mother Feng'er's palace?! Oh no!"

Sensing the presence of a stranger, Yu Qingcheng's figure instantly disappeared from her palace chamber and arrived at the entrance of Zheng Yaqin's palace.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Huh?! Who? Who is it?"

“It’s me, Yaqin… Sister!” Yu Qingcheng’s voice was urgent.

"So... Oh, it's you... Ah! No, oh, I wonder what brings you here this time?" Zheng Yaqin's voice was broken.

But Yu Qingcheng could hear that her voice was getting closer and closer, as if she were outside the door and Zheng Yaqin was inside, with only a wall separating them.

"Sister Yaqin, I sensed something unfamiliar here and was worried that something might have happened, so I came to check," Yu Qingcheng said anxiously.

"It's...it's alright, Qingcheng...sister. You...you don't need to worry." Zheng Yaqin tried to make her voice sound calm, but she still couldn't help but tremble and sob.

"Are you really alright, Sister Yaqin? Please don't hide anything from me. If there's any danger, we can figure out a way to deal with it together." Yu Qingcheng's tone revealed a hint of doubt.

"Really...really nothing's wrong. Maybe...maybe you're mistaken. How could there be any danger here?" Zheng Yaqin's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"Sister Yaqin, why are you speaking so hesitantly? Is there something you're hiding from me? If you don't tell me, I won't be so polite!" Yu Qingcheng said, pretending to be angry.
