Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 489 On the Eve of Heading to the Escape Realm

'So that's how it is.' After a moment's thought, Zhu Qingcheng understood why her senior sister had brought her out.

This was a deliberate attempt to remind her that they were worried she wouldn't get along well with Qingxue and the others.

Seeing Luo Hongxi's adorable blush, Zhu Qingcheng squeezed her hand and chuckled:

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I have no interest in vying for your young master's affections. My priority should be cultivation; improving myself is what I should be thinking about."

She felt more gratitude and admiration for Shen Yun, and since they had only known each other for a short time, there was no romantic feeling between them.

"I know!" Luo Hongxi whispered.

'I was like that at first too, it just happened without me realizing it... oh dear!'

Seeing Zhu Qingcheng's smiling face, Luo Hongxi stomped her foot in embarrassment and indignation:

"Alright! If you like this young master in the future, don't expect me to help you!"

Good guy!

The girl's words suggest she understands everything and can see the subtle power struggle between Bai Xian'er and the others.

She simply didn't want to compete for anything, because the young master was already in her heart, and that was enough.

"Don't be angry, Senior Sister!" Zhu Qingcheng quickly shook her hand, begging for forgiveness.

'Whether you like it or not in the future, senior sister should help junior sister, okay?'

This is no lie. If even her closest senior sister is unwilling to stand on the same side as her, then she is under too much pressure.

Because Luo Hongxi's words clearly indicated that she belonged to the young master, Ling Qingxue and the others would also think so.

Whether she admits it or not, these women will definitely be secretly competing with each other in some matters, and Zhu Qingcheng can't do without her senior sister's powerful backing!

"Hmph!" Luo Hongxi raised her chin, stood with her hands behind her back, and walked forward alone:

'I've said such embarrassing things for you, so you have to tell me some embarrassing secrets in return!'

'This…' Zhu Qingcheng's beautiful face froze in surprise, and she was immediately at a loss.

Having cultivated for so long, she has never dabbled in matters of love and romance, let alone such secrets.

Helpless, she could only tell some funny stories to make Luo Hongxi laugh.

It wasn't until she revealed that she had destroyed the family elder's magic weapon during her cultivation, causing the family's experts to believe that an enemy had invaded, that Luo Hongxi's tightly clenched lips trembled.

Just imagining Zhu Qingcheng's pretty face covered in soot and her hair all splattered made her want to laugh, and she finally couldn't hold it in:

"Pfft! You barely pass!"

"Yay! Senior Sister is the best!!" Zhu Qingcheng hugged her arm with a joyful expression, then her tone was full of emotion:

"Senior sister, it's so good to see you again!"

"Yes! I'm so glad you're alright! By the way, how are Senior Golden Crow and Senior Qilin?"

'Senior sister is still the same senior sister. If the two seniors knew how much you care, they would surely be very gratified…' Zhu Qingcheng slowly said:

"My journey to the outer realms was inspired by two seniors. They have already set out into the starry sky, hoping to find the Xuan Tian Continent to visit you. I just didn't know you had already ascended to the Immortal Realm. I hope they have a safe journey."

"Yes, I will!" Luo Hongxi nodded emphatically.

"These two seniors are blessed with good fortune, and now that the world barrier has been opened, they will surely find the Xuan Tian Realm!"

……

"On this journey to the Realm of Escape, you two must prioritize establishing the Underworld Palace to prevent others from getting there first," Shen Yun instructed Qingxue and Ao Fei inside the Linglang Pavilion.

"Now that the strongest ancestor of the Escape Realm has perished, and with the world barrier opened, they will definitely focus their attention on the Chaos Fruit in the short term. As long as you understand the intricacies of the Escape Realm, it won't be difficult for you to gain a foothold."

The importance of the Chaos Dao Fruit to the Dao Ancestor is self-evident. As for other levels of cultivators, they pose little threat to Xian'er and Qingxue.

Even if something unexpected happens, he can just use his money to resolve it!

"Rest assured, young master, I will definitely help Sister Xian'er complete her mission!" Ling Qingxue nodded slightly and looked around at everyone, saying:

"My sisters, please rest assured. The matter of the Underworld concerns the information of our families. This matter must succeed, not fail!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Miaoling looked at her and said softly:

"Personal safety is the top priority."

This is not the time to argue. Bai Xian'er was able to establish the Underworld in the Realm of Escape, which meant her family was now secure. She didn't want anything to happen to the two of them.

"That's right, my two elder sisters, we can't do things that don't require unnecessary risks!" Consort Ao reminded them.

"If it's too difficult, let's wait until Brother Shen breaks through to the Immortal Emperor Realm and goes to the Upper Realm!"

Only those who attain the Dao and become Immortal Emperors and obtain the Immortal Emperor Mark of the Escape One Realm can enter the Escape One Realm through the bridge between the two realms.

Based on Shen Yun's breakthrough speed, she felt that it wouldn't be long before he became an Immortal Emperor.

"There's no need for anyone to worry," Bai Xian'er said with a smile, her voice full of confidence.

With Brother Yun in control behind the scenes, this matter is already a done deal.

'You're really not afraid I'll fall over...' Shen Yun could only respond with a calm, dry laugh.

"Shall we set off?" Ling Qingxue was a decisive person; after making plans, she wanted to leave that very day, which made Bai Xian'er somewhat annoyed.

'I haven't had a proper time to spend with Brother Yun yet!'

Besides, she deliberately wore the Underworld Emperor's attire, the same clothes that Brother Yun said were beautiful on her that day.

She was also wearing black stockings, and had been secretly showing off her long legs to Brother Yun from time to time.

She knew that Brother Yun liked to watch this.

But now, Ling Qingxue's plan to set off has been ruined; she no longer has a chance.

'Forget it, there are too many people here anyway, so there's no chance. Besides, Brother Yun is almost at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, and reaching Immortal Emperor will be quick too…'

To her surprise, Shen Yun spoke up at this moment:

"Qingxue, don't rush. Let me tell Xian'er something before we leave."

"Yes, young master." Ling Qingxue nodded slightly, and the group chatted for a while longer before leaving the room.

Bai Xian'er was left alone in the room.

Actually, no one thought much of it. What could they be doing in broad daylight? They figured Shen Yun must have something important to remind Bai Xian'er.

Only Ao Fei looked tense and methodical, deliberately lagging behind, staring intently in Shen Yun's direction as she closed the door.

Fortunately, she felt relieved after seeing a reassuring look from her brother-in-law.

"Brother Yun, what do you want to tell me?" Seeing that no one was around, Bai Xian'er chuckled and got up, sitting gracefully on Shen Yun's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking at him with a smile.

The girl was already beautiful, but now, dressed in the solemn attire of the Underworld Emperor, she appeared even more majestic.

It can be paired with black stockings that are revealed when the side of the shirt is slit, making it both sexy and charming. The key point is that this outfit was chosen specifically for him.

Seeing that Xian'er's delicate face was still lightly made up, Shen Yun felt a pang of pity.

For Xian'er, none of this was necessary; she only acted this way because of him.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I don't have time to spend with you, and I want to be with you." Shen Yun hugged her tightly, deeply inhaling the girl's refreshing fragrance.

Actually, the reason was that he felt guilty.

After all, Consort Ao was Xian'er's sister. Although it was an accident, he must have felt guilty.

The problem is that Consort Ao doesn't want to be exposed, so Shen Yun has to keep it to himself. That's why he's thinking of spending more time with Xian'er. Besides, the two of them really haven't been together much lately.

"Then the girls outside will be jealous~" Bai Xian'er blinked and affectionately rubbed her cheek against hers:

"Brother Yun, don't be sad, it's just a little separation! Anyway, brother will reach the Immortal Emperor realm soon... Hmm?!!"

There's no way around it, she's just too cute and considerate.

Shen Yun could only shut her up to express his affection.

With a blush on her face, Bai Xian'er gently punched Shen Yun's chest:

"Brother Yun! Everyone outside is waiting! We can't announce this in broad daylight..."

'I don't care about this or that!' Shen Yun directly took out the Void Creation Cauldron to prevent outsiders from spying on him with their divine sense:

'It's daytime, this is called catching the enemy off guard!'

'What kind of analogy is that!' Bai Xian'er was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

Unfortunately, despite possessing the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, he gradually lost the will to resist...
