The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 1171

<H1text-align:” center”=””><spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Chapter 1171: Long Time No See

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Since Li Lingxi had called out to the palace in such a manner, it meant that Shuang Jiang was indeed inside.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>However, there was no response from inside.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen took a deep breath and stepped forward.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Facing the palace gates, he said, “When we parted at Clear Wind Mountain, you said that if I could stand before you, you would grant me an opportunity.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Now I am here, with a purpose, and I would like to ask you a favor.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>I think we can at least meet face to face.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen’s tone was calm.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Given Shuang Jiang’s special status, he couldn’t treat her as casually as he did others who shared a bond with him.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sigh seemed to echo in his ears.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Then, the gates of the ice blue palace slowly opened.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Li Jingzhe became even more curious with a hint of excitement.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Without any hesitation, the two of them stepped inside.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As soon as they crossed the threshold, Li Lingxi’s eyebrows raised.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The cold inside was unbearable for ordinary people.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As an Immortal Emperor, she was unaffected by it.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>But in her opinion, even an ordinary Immortal Lord would struggle to withstand such cold.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>It seemed like this was a test that Shuang Jiang had set for Su Jingzhen.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Li Lingxi had initially thought that under such extreme cold, Su Jingzhen would find it difficult to move.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>At the very least, he would have to use some of his previous techniques to resist it.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>But to her surprise, Su Jingzhen only showed a brief moment of surprise. Without even a ripple of energy from within him, he withstood the cold with his physical body alone, showing no signs of discomfort.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”It seems that your gains from Sword Land are more than I imagined.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Li Lingxi obviously wasn’t fully aware of what had happened in the Icy Sword Pool in the Sword Land.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>She couldn’t have known exactly what he had gained there.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”This cold is intense, but it’s still not enough to force me back.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen smiled confidently.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>However, as soon as his words fell, the cold inside the hall intensified to an even higher level.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>At this level, even an ordinary Immortal King who didn’t have any experience with ice-based techniques would have a hard time withstanding it.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>And in terms of physical cultivation, Su Jingzhen was only at the Profound Saint realm.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Upon realizing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression changed slightly once again.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Without hesitation, he activated the high-level cold energy that Little Green had absorbed and refined from the broken sword within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He knew that this was Shuang Jiang’s test for him. After more than a year apart, since she had such high expectations of him, he had to deliver a perfect performance.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The black brick subtly flickered, and a layer of even more advanced cold energy formed a protective shield around Su Jingzhen.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Immediately, the high-level cold energy in the hall that could have immobilized an Immortal King was unable to touch Su Jingzhen.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Seeing the change in Su Jingzhen, Li Lingxi was once again shocked.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>She had never expected that Su Jingzhen would have such a trick up his sleeve.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He was already incredibly skilled in the Fire Path, having mastered the Flesh and Blood Fire to its peak and even grasped the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Who would have thought that he also had such a profound mastery over the path of ice?

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Looks like I’ve underestimated this kid.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Li Lingxi muttered to herself in astonishment.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Of course, she had underestimated him. 

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>At this point, she still didn’t know that Su Jingzhen had already fully merged the Flesh and Blood Fire and the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame, giving birth to an even more advanced Nine-Colored Purifying Flame.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Despite this, the golden text once again appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>This was a direct five hit combo.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Having people around who shared an emotional bond with him was truly rewarding.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Every now and then, they would give him hundreds of points.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Unlike those few days at the Winter Sun Immortal Academy, which had been utterly boring.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>But after he conjured this shield of extreme ice energy, the cold in the hall suddenly ceased.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>It was clear that Su Jingzhen’s performance had perfectly passed Shuang Jiang’s test.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>As the storm of cold subsided, Su Jingzhen’s gaze fell upon a graceful figure in a white dress standing ahead of them.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>She was currently facing away from them.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>It seemed that even Shuang Jiang wasn’t fully prepared.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Seeing this familiar figure, Su Jingzhen’s heart calmed down.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Long time no see,” he said, breaking the silence.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>His tone was as casual and gentle as it had been back in Peach Blossom Alley, even carrying a hint of tenderness.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>This scene once again left Li Jingzhe stunned.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Previously, she had jokingly referred to Su Jingzhen as Shuang Jiang’s “little man” in front of her, but it had only been in jest.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>But now, seeing Su Jingzhen’s demeanor, it seemed that there really was something between the two of them.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>To her, it even felt a bit surreal.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>In the circles of cultivators at this level, Shuang Jiang was famous for being cold and aloof.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Is there really something going on between these two?” Li Lingxi muttered under her breath.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>At this moment, Shuang Jiang turned around. Her face was no longer the scarred visage Su Jingzhen remembered.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Instead, it was the breathtaking beauty that he had always imagined.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>However, her expression was icy, and as she stared at Su Jingzhen, subtle emotions flickered across her face.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Finally, she chose to curve her lips into a gentle smile.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>”Has it been so long? It’s only been a year.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>From a Qi Refining stage 1 cultivator with a shattered dantian to someone who has reached the Profound Saint realm in physical cultivation who now stands before me, it all feels like a dream.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>You’ve really given me too many surprises.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Shuang Jiang didn’t hide her astonishment either.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>From the very beginning, she didn’t hold back her praise for Su Jingzhen, openly expressing her admiration. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N()velFire.net

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Shuang Jiang was well aware of everything Su Jingzhen had experienced and accomplished on his journey.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>To her, it all seemed to be nothing short of miraculous.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Including how he had just passed her test perfectly, each achievement left her in awe.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Her own journey to power had been legendary, but it paled in comparison to Su Jingzhen’s.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Even though her tone remained calm, the continuous stream of golden text appearing before Su Jingzhen’s eyes betrayed her true feelings.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Seeing the golden text, Su Jingzhen himself was momentarily stunned.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Shuang Jiang’s points had changed, and this time, it triggered ten times in a row!

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>A total of 480 points.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>In Su Jingzhen’s eyes, this was still relatively modest.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen quickly pulled up Shuang Jiang’s sub-panel.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Sure enough, the cultivation bonus had been updated to reflect her peak as an Immortal Emperor – a 16x multiplier!

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Su Jingzhen quickly suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>A warm smile returned to his face as he walked up to Shuang Jiang.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>He quietly gazed at her flawless face and said, “Is this your true appearance? It’s truly beautiful.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>At such a close distance, if the disciples of the Extreme Ice Hall had seen Su Jingzhen say these words, they would have been completely shocked.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Speaking so casually to the Hall Master of the Extreme Ice Hall, a high-ranking Immortal Emperor, would be considered blasphemy.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Shuang Jiang’s brows furrowed slightly, but in the end, she said nothing.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>The two of them stood there, facing each other in silence.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>Beside them, Li Lingxi blinked her large eyes, sensing that the atmosphere in the hall had taken on a strange tone.

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>With a teasing smile, she said, “I feel like I’m being a bit of a third wheel here. My mistake, I’ll leave you two to catch up.”

<Spanfont-weight:” 400″=””>With that, she vanished in a flash.
