Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 77: Scenery

After leaving the space, Shen Xu asked Yang Shi to retrieve all the image stones and evidence.

When the snake returned, two people and a snake set up a play.

First, Yang Shi hid himself using an invisibility talisman and left the room.

Once outside, he broke the trapping formation and released the disciplinary team.

Soon after, an angry cultivator banged on the door.

Inside the room, Shen Xu smoothened his expression and opened the door.

When he saw Xiao Feng and the disciplinary team, he pretended to be surprised.

"Senior Xiao Feng, have you returned?" He asked.

Hearing this, several people glared at Shen Xu.

"Fourth young master Shi, why did you do such a thing?" Someone asked.

However, Shen Xu was fully committed to his role.

When he heard the accusation, he showed a confused expression.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Fourth young master Shi, what happened when we first arrived?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I went inside to call Zhen Yuan. However, when we came out, we didn’t see anyone. We thought you had to leave because of something important so we returned to our room to wait."

’He doesn’t look like he is lying.’ Xiao Feng thought and narrowed his eyes.

However, he couldn’t help but doubt the double.

After all, it didn’t make sense that a random person suddenly decided to trap his team in a formation disk. Such an action was too unreasonable.

"Did something happen?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the disciplinary team with a curious expression.

Hidden with an invisibility talisman, Yang Shi applauded his master’s performance.

’I would believe my master if I didn’t already know he was guilty.’ The snake thought.

At the same time, it slithered to Shen Xu’s feet, floated up, and coiled itself around his right wrist.

"Where is student Zhen Yuan?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I will call him." Shen Xu said and made to go inside.

However, Xiao Feng and the others had learned their lesson.

Before Shen Xu could close the door behind him, someone immediately stopped him.

"Don’t close the door." One teammate warned.

Hearing this, Shen Xu forcibly suppressed a smile and nodded.

With the door open, he entered the room and soon came out with Zhen Yuan.

"Student Zhen Yuan, please follow us to the disciplinary hall."

"Mmmh." Zhen Yuan nodded, closed the door behind him, and held his wife’s hand to walk together.

As they walked, Shen Xu suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhen Yuan.

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yuan asked.

[Why did you sleep for so long?] The double asked.

[Guess.]

[You were more exhausted than you expected?]

[Guess again.]

[You had a series of good dreams and couldn’t bear to wake up?]

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan rubbed the double’s hair and smiled with a doting look.

[My cultivation advanced.] He revealed.

"Really?" Shen Xu excitedly asked.

When they heard this, the disciplinary team curiously looked at the two.

Seeing the looks, Shen Xu calmed down.

However, his heart was filled with happiness.

[Have you really advanced to the mid-stage of the golden core realm?]

[not the mid-stage.]

[What do you mean?]

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he looked at his wife with a mysterious expression.

When the double couldn’t take it anymore, Zhen Yuan leaned over and whispered into Shen Xu’s ear.

"Peak stage."

"Peak stage?" Shen Xu was simultaneously ecstatic and annoyed.

After all, ordinary cultivators needed decades or hundreds of years to advance from the early stage to the peak stage of the golden core realm.

What about Zhen Yuan?

The man slept for two hundred days, and his cultivation advanced three small realms.

Even if the person was his husband, Shen Xu couldn’t help but feel envious and at a loss.

However, his confusion was only momentary.

[What happened?]

[I suddenly comprehended the laws I had previously memorised. I even understood the space laws I have been struggling with.]

[You should sleep more from now on.] Shen Xu joked, and Zhen Yuan involuntarily smiled.

[I only had an epiphany because I had accumulated enough and was ready for a breakthrough. That kind of situation is not easy to replicate. Also...]

[Also?]

[The number of laws I need to comprehend to advance to the fourth level is astronomical. If I don’t work hard, you may catch up with my cultivation.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu chuckled.

[...then you must work harder.]

[Don’t you want to catch up?]

[Nope.] Shen Xu shook his head, and Zhen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

However, Shen Xu didn’t answer.

’Brother Yuan, I was a little envious just now. However, I don’t think I should rush to catch up with you.’ Shen Xu thought.

’Rather, my goal should be to pursue a path that perfectly suits me. If I do this, even if I don’t catch up with you, our paths will eventually converge in the same place. However, if I desperately rush to catch up with you, I will surely take a wrong step.’

’So, brother Yuan, will you allow me to walk more slowly but more surely? This way, when the time comes, I will surely stand in the same place as you.’

[Brother Yuan, I am shorter than you.] Shen Xu suddenly said.

[Your height is perfect for me.]

[I know.] Shen Xu chuckled and soon continued.

[If I walk half a step faster and you walk half a step slower, do you think we can achieve a perfect pace?]

When he heard this, Zhen Yuan squeezed his wife’s hand.

[I am taller than you and can run faster. However, if I rush forward, the surrounding world will blur, and I will miss the scenery.]

[I didn’t know it before, but I have discovered the world is full of beautiful things]

[Xiaoxu, I don’t want to stubbornly rush forward, and you don’t need to walk half a step faster. Rather, I want to slow down a full step. This way, we can walk while comfortably enjoying the scenery. What do you think?]

’Brother Yuan, you are definitely my favourite scenery.’ Shen Xu smiled and nodded in answer to Zhen Yuan’s question.
