<h4>Chapter 1236: Chapter 1233: It Wasn’t Me, I Didn’t Do It! (3rd Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    Xue An’s head shook like a rattle-drum in an instant, "I’m noting over!"


    An Yan grinned yfully, "Aiya, what are you so afraid of? I just want to say a couple of words to you!"


    Xue An took a deep breath, "What can’t you say right here? Do you really have toe over?"


    An Yan’s beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, "Hmm? I’ll ask you one more time, are youing over or not?"


    "Noting if I said I’m noting. As the lofty Immortal Venerable, how can I go back on my word?" Xue An dered with righteous fervor.


    An Yan’s smile remained unchanged on her face, but her tone turned chillingly cold, "Cut the crap,e here!"


    Xue An: "..."


    After a moment, Xue An stood grinning and grimacing, suffering from the sharp pain in his shoulder.


    Because at this moment, An Yan, with a "ferocious" face, was biting down hard on Xue An’s shoulder.


    While biting, An Yan spoke with a muffled voice: "Biting you to death, you big bad guy, ya ya ya ya!"


    Xue An could only smile wryly, afraid that his own cultivation level would hurt An Yan if he resisted, so he forcibly suppressed his power and let An Yan vent.


    It wasn’t until quite a whileter that An Yan finally let go of her bite, looking satisfied.


    Looking at Xue An’s shoulder, there was a deep set of teeth marks visible, and from within the bite marks, blood was seeping out.


    An Yan seemed quite pleased with her handiwork, and looked up at Xue An, who wore a wry smile, and said fiercely, "Do you know why I bit you?"


    A man’s wisdom and acting skills are best demonstrated when faced with a woman’s questioning.


    For instance, Xue An was very clear about one thing right now.


    That was, in response to An Yan’s question, he had to y as dumb and innocent as possible.


    Therefore, Xue An instantly switched on his actor mode, his face showing a puzzled look, and he gently shook his head: "Yan’er, I really have no idea what you’re talking about! Besides, a wife biting her husband a few times to let off steam and ease boredom, isn’t that natural? Why ask why?"


    An Yan was trying to keep a straight face, pretending to be very angry at Xue An, but she couldn’t help but burst intoughter at his remark.


    "Go away! You make it sound like I’m some kind of a demoness!" An Yan spat.


    "Hehe, if Yan’er is a demoness, then she’s the prettiest demoness in The Multiverse Realms!" Xue An saidughingly, revealing an incredibly strong will to live.


    An Yan hummed, "Don’t try to sweet-talk me. Let me ask you! You go out once and bring back a pretty girl, what’s that all about? If I don’t intervene, do you n on filling this pavilion with them?"


    Faced with such a "perilous" interrogation, Xue An didn’t even hesitate for a moment and immediately shook his head: "I didn’t, I really didn’t!"


    The two magical mantras used by men to save their lives were both deployed at this critical moment.


    An Yan sized up Xue An for a long while, then finally nodded and said, "Hmmph, I thought you wouldn’t dare. Otherwise, my little scissors are always ready!"


    Having said that, An Yan couldn’t help but burst intoughter herself.


    Of course, An Yan wasn’t the petty and jealous kind, making mountains out of molehills.


    In reality, she had always had one hundred and twenty percent trust in Xue An, because An Yan firmly believed that after going through so much together, she and Xue An were already inseparable.


    Such affection couldn’t be destroyed by anyone or anything.


    As for Yan Meishu, from the moment An Yanid eyes on this woman, she had seen through her intentions.


    But An Yan didn’t take it to heart, because she knew better than anyone that matters of the heart cannot be influenced by will.


    An Yan didn’t think it was necessary to get worked up and panic over a little girl.


    Speaking in such a manner would be unbefitting of myself.


    But just because I see things clearly does not mean there’s no fire in my heart.


    As a woman, I can’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.


    Which is why I gave Xue An a "bit of a yful punishment".


    It’s akin to a tigress patrolling her territory, a deration of her sovereignty.


    Meanwhile, it also serves as a small amusement in everyday life.


    After all, An Yan understands better than anyone that being too sensible can be exhausting for a woman.


    Sometimes, a bit of petnce and caprice may even add some vor to the rtionship.


    Because men fall for this act! (Chuckling)


    Of course, the rationale behind this isplicated, which is why there’s the saying, "The hearts of women are inscrutable."


    What An Yan didn’t realize was that Xue An had long understood that she was just ying around with him, but he was still willing to go along with the act.


    Because only when Yan’er is happy, Xue An is happy as well.


    After they had their fun, Xue An finally said seriously: "Yan’er, you didn’t ask, but I still wanted to tell you, bringing Yan Meishu back to the Magic Treasures Pavilion wasn’t just for her recovery!"


    "Uh? What do you mean?" An Yan looked puzzled.


    Xue An smiled and said, "Now that Lord Lihen has perished, Lihen Heaven is still far from peaceful, with myriad powerful figures and intricate powers! While I am here to suppress them, all is well, but once we leave, chaos will immediately ensue!"


    "That would be against our original intentions! After all, our journey so far has been to avenge the Hua n and eradicate injustices, but that is only a reason, not an excuse! If we were to simply wash our hands of the chaos and leave, how would I be any different from Lord Lihen?"


    An Yan listened quietly, her gaze gradually brightening as she looked at Xue An.


    This was why she liked this man!


    He always remembered his original intentions, never blinded by the power and authority in his hands, and never backing down.


    Therefore, with a soft and moist gaze, An Yan tenderly said, "Mmm, so what you mean is...?"


    "Now that Jiang Xunnan is carrying the descendant of General Xiao Tian, she naturally needs to stay in this realm to await Xiao Tian’s return. Zui Meng and Yu Ren, though they’ve previously misbehaved, have been cleansed and reborn after I purified their Divine Sense. As for Yan Meishu, her character has been tested and can be relied upon!"


    "So, I’ve decided to cultivate all three parties as powers to stabilize this realm."


    An Yan was somewhat taken aback, "All three parties?"


    Xue An nodded, "That’s right!"


    "Is that necessary?" An Yan was a bit puzzled.


    Xue An sighed softly and stretched out his hand to gently stroke An Yan’s head.


    "Yan’er, you are kind-hearted, but you are unaware of the perils of The Multiverse! Human hearts can be even more terrifying than The Multiverse itself! Especially when one possesses great power, there are very few who can maintain their moral integrity! Power is like poison, slowly eroding a person’s will!"


    "If I cultivate a single power, it would be difficult to say that they won’t be the next Lord Lihen after we leave!"


    "So you n to have all three be strong, and then let them check and bnce each other?" An Yan realized suddenly.


    Xue An nodded again, "Exactly!"


    Only then did An Yan understand Xue An’s painstaking intentions, and she couldn’t help but express her admiration: "Husband, you’re really thinking far ahead! I think it’s the best way to go!"


    Xue An smiled and then looked up at the scenery outside the window, his eyes twinkling.


    Within his sea of consciousness, the two memory pearls from Lord Lihen and the Ziwei Star Master were also trembling slightly, and then they shattered with a boom, turning into a torrent of memories that surged into Xue An’s Divine Sense.
