Chapter 5735: Extra - Murong Xun: Indulging Herself for Once

Cloudy Haze Peak, Divine Water Sect Main Peak.

Just as it was before, the bamboo forest was deep and secluded. The wind rustled through the bamboo, making soft, whispering sounds.

Murong Xun slowly walked through the forest, narrowing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps behind her. She slowly turned around.

It was like that first encounter by the sea, the moment she clearly saw that person's face.

[The Murong of Wangchuan and your Yun family have been irreconcilable since our ancestors' time. From now on, don't come looking for me anymore.]

["Ah Xun, how many generations ago were those things? Why do you insist on bringing them up between us?"]

["Daughter, we already know about you and the Yun family's eldest young master. After all, it's been a very, very long time, hasn't it? Your parents aren't unreasonable people. If you truly want to be with him, then go. As long as you're happy, the family will support you."]

["It's me, I can't let go of this hatred. It's me who can't let go. Being with the descendants of my enemy, I feel ashamed before my parents and elders, unable to face the Wangchuan Dragon Clan again..."]

["Ah Xun, you will only have one chance to leave me. That is when I die!"]

Murong Xun looked at the man whose temples were slightly graying. He was as dashing and handsome as ever, his gaze as gentle as before.

She suddenly smiled at him, taking a few steps forward on her own accord.

"I'm back."

Yun Cong hadn't expected these to be the first words she would say to him after decades apart.

There was no bitter hatred, no resentment, no cursing; only a faint, gentle smile in her eyes, and that simple phrase, "I'm back."

Yun Cong felt a warmth welling up in his eyes.

He rushed forward, his hands trembling slightly, and pulled her into his embrace.

Leaving aside the years he had kept her in the ice coffin, he felt it had been a very, very long time since he had seen her.

Murong Xun raised her hand and touched his face; it was cold and wet.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister!!" A loud voice came from outside the forest. "Senior Sister, I caught a wild..."

The word "chicken" abruptly stopped in her mouth, and Sect Master Yang's expression became somewhat strange.

Her big, watery eyes widened, staring at the two embracing figures not far ahead.

"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh!!" Several small heads peeked out from the side, repeatedly shushing her.

"What's with the shushing? I saw it. Everyone, come out," Murong Xun cursed exasperatedly.

Xu Shanshan, Jiang Qi, Fang Xu, and the other Divine Water Sect disciples poured out from behind Yang Xirong, rubbing their heads with silly grins.

It was all the Sect Master's fault for being a pain in the neck! They had been hiding perfectly well, and then she suddenly ran out and roared, startling Peak Master Murong and making them miss a good show, woof!

Peak Master Murong looked at this group of single dogs and shook her head helplessly. "Fine, scram. Oh, right, I see you're all quite idle lately, so I've taken on a task for you."

"Organize a flower fair with several major aristocratic families and sects to foster friendship among the young cultivators of the Three Provinces."

"Huh?"

"Mhm." Murong Xun nodded unhurriedly. "It's exactly what you're thinking."

"Second Junior Sister, you're not young anymore," Peak Master Murong said, looking at her with a heartbroken expression. "Although the sect needs you to carry the flag, it didn't mean for you to remain single until now, did it?"

Yang Xirong: ???

What did I do? Where am I? Is Senior Sister scolding me?

Is Senior Sister scolding me for still being single? Is Senior Sister calling me a single dog, isn't she?

Yang Xirong stamped her foot, clutching the wild chicken in her hand, and twisted her body awkwardly. "Senior Sister!! You ungrateful wretch! I'm never talking to you again."

With that, she held the chicken in one hand, crying wuwu with her face, and ran off...

Murong Xun's mouth twitched, finding Junior Sister Yang's dramatic stunt a bit suffocating.

"Pfft." Xu Shanshan couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth.

Murong Xun glared at her, putting on a master's authority. "What's so funny? Have you finished your cultivation today? Have you read your cultivation manuals? Has Maple Pavilion been cleaned! Why are you still standing here? Go do your work!"

"Oh." Everyone nodded in unison.

They heard Granny Yi's angry roar from afar, "Sect Master! Didn't I tell you to stay away from the kitchen? Why are you here again??"

"I'm just here to kill a chicken..."

"Put it down! Put down the knife immediately! Oh my god, Sect Master! Don't run. No, no, it's the chicken, don't run..."

"Second-generation Sect Master's junior sisters, is it time to cook?"

"Hey, Lu Zheng, you old man, why does your Xuanji Sect come to our Divine Water Sect to freeload every day now?"

"What does it matter? We're all neighbors."

"You rascal, oh my chicken... quickly catch it, catch it, catch it!"

Xu Shanshan and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Murong Xun glared at them. "Why aren't you doing your proper work? Oh, right, in a few days, some disciples from the sects and aristocratic families responsible for the young cultivators' fun flower fair will be coming to our Cloudy Haze Peak. Shanshan, you're in charge of leading your junior sisters to greet them."

"Yes, Master."

As your Master, I can only help you this much. I can't just watch you stay single forever, sigh.

After seeing off the boisterous apprentices and nephews, Murong Xun turned and met Yun Cong's gaze.

"Ah Xun." Yun Cong held her hand and whispered, "Are you willing to forgive me now?"

"What silly talk. My little apprentice told me everything you did. I should thank you for taking care of her."

Yun Cong shook his head. "It was nothing."

"You... don't blame me for stabbing you with a sword back then?"

Yun Cong shook his head.

"Yun Cong, I'm a person who has died once already. From now on, I just want to be myself, to live indulgently for myself, for once."

Yun Cong's eyes sparkled with joy. He suddenly squeezed her hands tightly, his breathing quickening. "Ah Xun, Ah Xun."

"Fool," Murong Xun couldn't help but laugh.

Yun Cong picked her up in his arms, unable to suppress his excitement.

"Master, Master, Master! Little Junior Sister is back!"

"Master, Master..."

"Little Junior Sister, Master is right there. Go bother her now and see if she'll hit you!"

"Master?" Lady Qiao Qiao, surrounded by a group of her junior sisters, was pushed to the forest entrance and immediately saw Yun Cong and Murong Xun.

Murong Xun was held slightly higher by Yun Cong, and she was now turning her head to look at them.

A torrent of water spiritual power swept from her palm, pushing towards the disciples who were enjoying the show.

"A bunch of rebellious apprentices," Murong Xun grumbled, but her eyes were curved in a smile.

Everyone's feet were suddenly struck by the water, causing them to jump up with a "wow!" of surprise.

Murong Xun's hearty laughter echoed through the forest.

In the kitchen, Yang Xirong and the others were in a chaotic mess of chickens flying and dogs barking.

Qiao Mu grinned. The chaotic Divine Water Sect is back...
