The Fusang Ghost Country

Jun Ao stood in front of Mei Yingxue’s room door, having already stood there for a very long time.

He used to come here often in the past to steal candy and slack off, being chased all over the courtyard by her carrying a sword.

Even the wooden threshold had been stepped on by him until it was bright.

Tonight was different.

Starting tonight, he was going to sleep here.

“What is it?”

The door was pulled open from the inside.

Mei Yingxue had changed into a set of white clothes, her hair was draped loose, and the tips of her hair still carried water vapor, as she had clearly just bathed.

She looked at Jun Ao, her eyebrows raising slightly.

“Are you afraid I am going to eat you or something?”

Jun Ao’s Adam’s apple moved a little.

“Sister…”

“Don’t call me sister.”

She interrupted, stepping aside to make way.

“From now on, call me wife.”

“…Wife.”

Jun Ao called her that with some awkwardness, the base of his ears turning slightly red.

He walked into the room.

It was still the same old appearance.

One bed, one table, one bookshelf, and three swords hanging on the wall.

“We haven’t married yet,” Jun Ao said carefully.

“Living in one room, it won’t be good for you if word gets out.”

Mei Yingxue was currently making the bed, and hearing those words, she turned her head.

The candlelight reflected on her side profile, her outline looking a bit softer than usual.

“I don’t even care, what do you care about?”

She paused for a moment.

“Or are you still thinking about that Princess Huai’an?”

“No!”

Jun Ao immediately shook his head.

“I don’t even know what she looks like!”

Only after finishing his words did he feel something was wrong.

Why was he in such a hurry to explain?

Mei Yingxue looked at him for a few seconds, then turned around to continue making the bed.

“Right,” she suddenly said.

“Tonight you sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the floor.”

“Ah?”

Jun Ao was taken aback.

“We’re not sleeping together?”

Mei Yingxue turned her body around, sat by the edge of the bed, and sized him up from top to bottom.

“I am already in the Celestial Realm, and my physical body has cast off its old skin and bones.”

The corners of her mouth curved up slightly.

“Sleeping together, I am afraid your little body won’t be able to bear it.”

Jun Ao’s face froze.

“In that case, I will never be able to sleep with you?”

Seeing his face filled with disappointment, Mei Yingxue smiled a little.

“Don’t worry, you just cannot cultivate right now, but you definitely can in the future.”

Jun Ao lowered his head.

“You don’t have to comfort me.”

His voice sounded muffled.

“I have no dantian, and it’s impossible for me to cultivate in this lifetime.”

He was a transmigrator.

He transmigrated as a baby into this martial arts world, becoming the heir of the Zhennan Prince’s Mansion.

His father Jun Linan was the Zhennan Prince, a powerhouse of the Celestial Realm.

His mother Luo Jinghong was the Jinghong Fairy, publicly recognized across the Nine Provinces as the number one person in the world.

On the day he was born, the gaze of the entire Nine Provinces was cast toward Jiangnan.

Everyone was curious as to just how shockingly talented the son of the Jinghong Fairy and the Zhennan Prince would be.

But heaven had played a joke on him.

The people of this world would naturally form a dantian in their sea of qi when they were born… that was the foundation of cultivation.

But inside his sea of qi, there was no dantian.

There was only a black banner.

That banner was something he had obtained in his past life on Earth, and it was precisely because of it that he transmigrated to this place.

For twenty years, it had hung quietly in his sea of qi, without moving a single hair, like a silent bystander.

Because of his status as the heir, no one dared to mock him to his face.

But what about behind his back?

Mei Yingxue looked at him, reaching out to pat his shoulder.

“Don’t worry,” she said.

“With me around, you will be the most powerful man in this world.”

Jun Ao raised his head, barely forcing out a smile.

“But I want to become strong.”

“I want to go to the demon mountain to find Mother, and I want to… sleep with you.”

The last few words were said very lightly, yet they were exceptionally clear.

Mei Yingxue looked at him, remaining silent for a very long time.

The candle fire danced in her eyes.

Then she said, “Mother, I will go and rescue her.”

She paused for a moment and added a sentence.

“As for sleeping with you… after I rescue Mother, I will destroy this entire cultivation of mine.”

“When that time comes, you will be able to sleep with you.”

Jun Ao was stunned.

He stared into Mei Yingxue’s eyes… she was serious, not playing a joke.

“You…”

Before he could finish his words, Mei Yingxue’s eyebrows suddenly knitted together.

She took out a jade tablet from her bosom, which was translucent white and warm, and right now it was vibrating slightly.

A communication jade tablet.

It was similar to a cell phone from his past life, but it could only transmit text.

Mei Yingxue’s divine sense swept across the jade tablet, and her face uniform changed color.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Ao asked.

“Something happened in the Southern Border.”

“What?”

Jun Ao’s heart tightened.

“Could it be… that the bastards have launched an attack?”

Yes, in this world, there were also bastards.

A country named the Fusang Ghost Nation.

Exactly like the bastards from his past life, the Fusang Ghost Nation was filled with wild ambition.

Thirteen years ago, taking advantage of the great war between the Great Wu and the demon race of the hundred thousand demon mountains in the north, they launched a sneak attack on the Southern Border.

Then they headed all the way north, occupying half of the Great Wu.

Even Jiangnan was almost destroyed by them.

Jun Ao remembered that he was only seven years old at that time, protected by a group of guards as he fled out of Jiangnan…

At that time, his mother Jinghong Fairy and his father Jun Linan were currently fighting a great war against the ten great demon kings of the demon race, having absolutely no time to look after Jiangnan.

They fled all the way until they fled to the Northern Border…

Later on, Jun Linan led a massive army south, and only then did he drive the bastards out of the Great Wu.

While his mother, completely by herself with a single sword, had killed her way into the deep depths of the demon mountain, never to return again.

Jun Ao was thinking at that time: when he grew up, when he was able to cultivate, he must go to the demon mountain to find his mother.

Also, he must definitely come back to kill the bastards!

But thirteen years had passed.

He was still an ordinary person who could not cultivate!

Thinking up to this point, Jun Ao clenched both of his fists tightly.

He hated himself!

He hated himself for why he could not cultivate…

Mei Yingxue nodded, “The bastards have launched an attack, and this time, they have come out in full force, and just those of the Celestial Realm number in the dozens!”

Jun Ao’s heart sank.

His father was currently guarding the Southern Border!

“How is it going on Father’s side?”

“Father sent a message saying that the bastards have come prepared this time, and they are not easy to deal with…”

“Wife, should we take the Jinghong Guards over there to help Father?”

Mei Yingxue shook her head, “The Jinghong Guards were left to you by Mother, and unless it is an absolute last resort, they cannot be deployed!”

“The bastards have already launched their attack, and Father’s side only has six Celestials and three hundred thousand iron cavalry, they absolutely cannot block them!”

“If the Jinghong Guards don’t go, Father will be in danger!”

Mei Yingxue fell into a state of conflict.

“Wife, don’t hesitate any longer!” Jun Ao said anxiously.

Mei Yingxue finally made up her mind, “How about this, I will go to help Father, and the Jinghong Guards will remain here to protect you.”

“No!” Jun Ao blurted out.

“The Jinghong Guards should go together…”

“Jun Ao, this is also Father’s meaning.”

Mei Yingxue interrupted him, her tone firm.

“The Jinghong Guards are the Jun family’s last hidden card, they cannot be moved.”

“It is enough for me to go.”

She stood up, walked to the side of the wall, and took down the first sword that was hanging.

The Jinghong Sword.

The personal sword that his mother used before she became a Celestial.

“Wait for me to come back.”

Mei Yingxue looked at him, speaking softly.

Then she turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Jun Ao pursued her to the doorway, watching her in white clothes carrying her sword as she stepped into the empty air and rose, like a streak of moonlight cutting through the night color, disappearing into the southern horizon.

He stood in the courtyard, gazing in the direction of her departure, clenching his fists tightly.

“Why… why can’t I cultivate?”

“Heir, with the young mistress helping the prince, the prince will definitely drive the bastards out of the Southern Border!”

A’San’s voice came from behind him.

A’San was his personal guard, possessing a cultivation of the Sixth Realm of martial arts, and had followed him for more than a dozen years.

Jun Ao turned his body around, looking at A’San, “A’San, go to the Southern City Mansion, tell the governor that it is what I said, have him tighten up patrols during this period of time, and once any suspicious person is discovered, capture them immediately!”

“Is the heir worried about bastard spies…”

“Correct.”

Jun Ao nodded.

The methods of that pack of beasts, he knew them only too clearly.

Before fighting a war, they would definitely send spies to sneak into the Great Wu to gather intelligence!
