Being above the clouds and always sticky, made Yan Xu feel cold. If others see this as a wife's friendly behavior to the husband, he only sees it as a mother wolf who is biting the nape of the neck of her child.
This kind of dao pair did indeed look very charming in the eyes of everyone. Charming like flower petals and in the depths of its roots, there was a deadly poison. That was the exact connotation sentence for the dao couple who were flying alone right now.
With a helpless smile, Yan Xu said, "Wife, why should we always be like this? Your husband will feel all kinds of black magic curses from bachelors who see us all this way."
Lan Xihe who was still burrowing her cheeks did not care as she said, "Just assume this is a punishment for being hasty."
He closed his eyes, then popped out the system window.
'Tasks.'
As soon as the word muttered in Lan Xihe's mind, an interface window displaying tasks appeared in her field of vision.
...----------------...
...\=\=\= | Main Task | \=\=\=...
• train nine disciples who will shake the world (4/9)

«It is expected to Host to always be careful as the system detects any oddities on the dimensional portal connected to the demon world temporarily open! ⁇ (^o^ ⁇ )»
...----------------...
Lan Xihe felt uncomfortable with the second side task. If the demons were of a high-level class or even descendants of nobles, there would be a lot of casualties if not dealt with immediately. However, he did not care much about that because he was numb to the name of justice.
His heart was already immune to the various things that had happened in this world. Just by the death of a few hundred thousand as well as millions of humans, it would not really stir Lan Xihe's heart a little because he was not a hero of justice.
If anything could make him have to be moved, it was just the condition of those rogue disciples. Other than them, there were also some people who were close to him for a long time. Well, he has little sympathy for the lives of others who are not close to him.
'Life is like a fart you throw away, then kiss with your nose. If I can transmigrate after death, that means there will be something called reincarnation. So, I don't need to care too much about death.'
After finishing setting his mind, Lan Xihe opened her eyes and she had just realized that Yan Xu's huge palm was on her forehead.
Plaque! Plaque!
When Yan Xu also wanted to bring his forehead closer as he was unsure of the temperature being examined, Lan Xihe immediately landed a slap several times on his right and left cheeks.
He frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Yan Xu who stroked his cheek said, "I am feeling your body temperature! From earlier the temperature of your breath suddenly changed .." he smiled warmly and gently stroked the white hair.
Lan Xihe rolled her eyes the other way and let Husband continue to stroke her head.
Yan Xu's indifferent voice asked, "Is there anything you're thinking about?"
Yan Xu sighed and dropped his arm down to hug his wife. Then, she lowered her cheeks to stop over that stretch of beautiful white hair while gently reminding Lan Xihe.
"If it's hard to think for yourself, share it with the husband who's next to you."
Lan Xihe looked up. He wrapped his slender arms around Yan Xu's neck, then moved them down gently until their eyebrows and lashes overlapped.
With her charming fairy face features, Lan Xihe smiled widely and said, "Thank you, Husband!"
Looking at that wide smile, it made Yan Xu blink a few times until their eyelashes often collided, causing an itchy sensation on each other's petals. His breathing turned warmer and softer until it touched his wife's facial skin.
A while later, he soon recovered and a warm smile appeared in his mouth as he said, "It is appropriate for a husband to help his beautiful wife like an immortal fairy from another world."
The two grinned themselves in such a position, for some reason they seemed like professional actors who were practicing before the show started. Shortly after, they returned to their original state while looking straight ahead.
Lan Xihe's soft voice came from the side, "What about every secret message you read before we leave?"
Yan Xu stroked his chin as he said, "Most of the complaints were about property damage and accidentally killing pets while on duty."
"Hmm .. do they want to say that the Jiang family is being threatened? Furthermore, the possibility of a murder in this matter was also unavoidable."
"True, the last time we received that complaint sheet was a month ago. One month passed after that was our current time, what do you think happened during that time?" asked Yan Xu who had forgotten the seniority between teacher and disciple. Now there is only a husband and wife.
There was a short pause before Lan Xihe replied.
".... One month ... That's long enough. They were in a critical period and the people in the Jiang family were still fighting in defense until help came."
"Third and Bungsu can't find anything wrong while they're on duty. Likewise with us who handle the case because the main hall does not give a paper containing a secret message."
Lan Xihe let out a heavy sigh and said tiredly, "The Jiang family is on the edge, we just came to help. Fears, they've been squeezed dry to the lowest point in the family's history."
Yan Xu nodded in agreement and said, "When that is the case, I will ask for permission to take them to the Peak of Wind. There is reason to bring those whose family descendants have exceptional expertise in administration to also trade."
Lan Xihe who was listening was astonished, she felt astonished why Husband valued the Jiang family members so much.
"You seem a bit biased with them, do you have a kinship relationship? Or is there a new wife there?" Lan Xihe used a sharp tone for the last sentence.
Yan Xu coughed a few times as his breath gasped after listening to the latter's question. That question was rather difficult to answer as it concerned with the identity as well as the memories of Yan Xu's past.
As a human being who has lived for hundreds of millions of years. Yan Xu watched the various advances as well as the decline of the human race so that cultivation first appeared in the world. In addition to experiencing countless deaths, he had also experienced various encounters.
One of the fateful encounters he recalls were three friends who had traveled together. The two people were dao couples and there was one other man whom they often called Big Brother.
That person was Yan Xu before, that was why he was very familiar with the Jiang family and was already considered one of the supreme ancestors. They were considered the three supreme ancestors as they created the Jiang family with various histories in the past.
Without the three of them, the Jiang family would never have existed. Now, those two people were gone and only left Yan Xu who had long since separated from the Jiang family.
In exchange for Yan Xu, he gave a little hand filled with sweet candy as it felt responsible for their descendants.
'Your message back then was to take care of the Jiang family. If the family is indeed unable to survive, it is my duty to at least save their bloodline as your Eldest Brother. I'm not the Almighty who can save anything, so don't expect too much and just watch from up there.'
A slight fluctuation in longing and shades of sadness as well as some happiness accompanied by a sense of responsibility Lan Xihe could feel secretly through their physical contact. She just kept quiet, didn't discuss anything and let her husband do the talking himself later on.

If the conditions and the situation are supportive, I will do crazy ups again like the end of last year.
