We are husband and wife

"I'll take you home…"

The moment this gentle voice sounded, her heart was touched, and tears almost flowed out.

She quickly lowered her head, not wanting Fang Xuan to see her current expression. She bit her red lips and muttered in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Why are you here?"

"I just happened to pass by."

Fang Xuan glanced indifferently at Qian Renxue, who was tied up like a dumpling, and spread his hands. The corners of his mouth curled into a contemptuous smile.

"Then I saw you being tied up and about to be slaughtered! Haha, an idiot like you still wants to go home alone? You were almost sold off halfway and even helped count the money. I wonder how you broke through to the Demigod rank with your IQ."

A merciless reprimand directly ridiculed Qian Renxue until her face turned red. Originally, she was grateful for Fang Xuan's help and was very touched that he wanted to take her home.

However, this kind of naked mockery angered Qian Renxue. She directly flipped out. She tore off the large net covering her body and glared fiercely at Fang Xuan with her phoenix-like eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fang Xuan, you! You… don't be too arrogant. Wait until I recover my Divinity; then, I'll teach you a lesson!"

To hide her embarrassed appearance, she threw out harsh words and tried to put on the dignity of a God-rank powerhouse. She wanted to use this to intimidate Fang Xuan, but the latter didn't buy it.

"At least I can hang you up and beat you up now…"

Fang Xuan expressionlessly raised a fist and waved it in front of Qian Renxue, threatening a deity.

"How dare you! You can try… Ouch!"

"Bang—"

Before Qian Renxue finished speaking, Fang Xuan's fist had already landed heavily on Qian Renxue's little head. It was so painful that the girl almost cried.

"There's nothing that I, Fang Xuan, dare not do in this life! You're just a Demigod who has lost her spirit power. What are you being so arrogant for? If you're not convinced, I'll beat you up again.

"Let's go, I'll take you home!" Fang Xuan said with a straight face, quietly watching Qian Renxue.

"I don't need you to send me off. I can walk on my own!" Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Fang Xuan and left in anger. But her legs gave way not long after, and she fell again.

Qian Renxue had yet to have time to rest after walking for a long time and encountering these bandits along the way. She was so tired that her legs were weak.

"Troublesome…"

Fang Xuan sighed helplessly. He walked forward and took Qian Renxue in a princess carry. Then, he strode towards the end of the road.

This time, Qian Renxue was fine. Instead, she obediently stayed in Fang Xuan's arms. She hesitated momentarily, then raised her head and asked, "Are you sure you want to send me home?"

Her home was in Spirit City, the Spirit Palace! Fang Xuan was the most wanted criminal in the entire continent. If he went to Spirit City with her, it would be no different from walking into a trap. It was no different from suicide.

She left Spirit City at that time specifically to kill Fang Xuan. She didn't expect to experience so many things by coincidence. She also didn't expect to be sent home by Fang Xuan. Qian Renxue's mood was very complicated.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to enter Spirit City to die. I'll leave after sending you to the nearest city," Fang Xuan said calmly.

Qian Renxue had fallen from Godhood and lost all of her spirit power. It was very dangerous for her to travel alone. The consequences would have been unimaginable if he hadn't arrived in time. Therefore, after much consideration, Fang Xuan joined Qian Renxue on her journey.

Just like that, he chose to escort Qian Renxue home.

… …

Spirit City was located at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Currently, they were at the border of the Star Luo Empire. They could reach it in ten days to half a month.

However, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue were weak after losing all of their spirit power. If they were unlucky and met a stronger spirit master assassin group on the way, it would be very troublesome. They might even die at the hands of some low-level spirit masters.

Fang Xuan had no spirit power now, and his spiritual power hadn't recovered yet. He couldn't unleash the true power of the demon blade. He could only rely on the sharpness of the divine weapon to kill his enemies. With his Ultimate Level Proficiency in Drawing the Sword and the sharpness of the demon blade, killing some Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors was a piece of cake. However, he wasn't confident of winning if he met a Spirit Sage or even a Spirit Douluo who had activated their Martial Spirit True Body. He might even be killed.

Therefore, Fang Xuan chose to travel during the day and hide at night. He was cautious and hurried. He always took the main road with many people to avoid being ambushed.

Time flew. Very quickly, seven days had passed. Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue walked dozens of kilometers and arrived at a distant border city. This was the furthest city on the border of the Star Luo Empire. After passing through this city, they would enter the sphere of influence of Spirit City.

However, they were quick. The sky was already dark. The two chose to stay in this border city for the night and continue their journey the next day. They had been hurrying along like this the entire time. They didn't aim for speed, but it was steady and safe.

After several days of adjustment, Fang Xuan finally condensed a strand of spirit power and became a Spirit Scholar. Although it was only a strand of spirit power, he was very happy. At least he wasn't crippled. He could continue to cultivate. In addition, his spiritual power had recovered quite a bit. After a few more days, he should be able to use the "Red Lotus" again. With that life-saving spirit skill, their journey would undoubtedly be much safer.

In addition, Qian Renxue's spirit power gradually recovered. Furthermore, her recovery speed was much faster than Fang Xuan's. She had probably recovered to the level of a Spirit Grandmaster. After all, she was a super genius born with innate full spirit power at rank 20. In terms of cultivation talent, she completely crushed Fang Xuan. Fang Xuan wasn't surprised that her spirit power recovery speed was faster.

However, what surprised him was that after Qian Renxue recovered some of her spirit power, she didn't get arrogant and retaliated against him. Instead, she was very obedient. She followed Fang Xuan's arrangements along the way and refuted only a few words. This attitude made him feel very satisfied.

"What's your relationship with him?"

When they entered the border city, two border guards stopped Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue and interrogated them. This was the border of the Star Luo Empire, and it was related to the country's safety, so they couldn't be careless. The guards had to investigate the people's identities entering and leaving to ensure that there were no spies from the empire.

At this moment, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue looked at each other. He reached out and hugged her slender waist. She intimately leaned her head against his chest.

The two of them said in unison, "We are husband and wife!"
