<h4>Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275: Aren’t You a Bit Too Eager?</h4>


    Xu Wendong instinctively swallowed, a feeling of scalp tingling and goosebumps rising in his heart.


    "Why? Why did you kill your husband?" Xu Wendong’s eyes were full of doubt.


    To be fair.


    Liu Junyan, aside from being a bit perverted, was actually quite decent.


    Moreover, he shared a deep affection with Bai Tao.


    Xu Wendong truly could notprehend that Bai Tao would actually take her husband’s life.


    Bai Tao’s eyes were red and swollen as she recounted the events.


    "What? That guy actually offered you to me for the sake of wealth and prosperity?" Upon learning the truth, Xu Wendong felt a shiver run down his spine.


    This truly confirms the old saying, you can know a person’s face but not their heart!


    Liu Junyan always appeared gentle and courteous.


    But who would have thought that he would go so far as to offer his wife to someone else as a ything for the sake of wealth?


    This truly makes one feel angry and contemptuous.


    "I didn’t want to kill him either, but I simply couldn’t control my emotions!" Bai Tao’s tears streamed incessantly.


    After all, that was her husband, and they had lived together for thousands of years.


    Xu Wendong gentlyforted her: "It wasn’t your fault, and you did the right thing. Faced with such a person, you should decisively get rid of him."


    "Only in this way can you better protect yourself."


    Bai Tao nodded in agreement, then nervously raised her head to look at Xu Wendong: "Would you... would you be willing to take me in?"


    "Of course I would!" Xu Wendong instantly broke into a smile.


    He already had a liking for married women.


    Not to mention, Bai Tao was different from other married women; her cooking skills were something Xu Wendong greatly enjoyed.


    Now that she wished to stay by his side, it was truly something he couldn’t wish more for.


    Knowing that Xu Wendong would take her in, Bai Tao’s face showed a marked relief from her sorrow. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Rest assured, I will surely serve you well; no matter what I do, I will try my best to amodate you!"


    Xu Wendong indulgently ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "Now, what you need to do is wash your face and get a good night’s sleep."


    Bai Tao nodded repeatedly.


    Meanwhile.


    Luo Li also arrived at Tu Jin’s residence on Baishi Ind, located in a secluded area in the north of the city.


    This was originally the residence of an early Mahayana Stage cultivator, which Tu Jin took over by force, killing the Mahayana cultivator and upying it.


    Upon seeing Tu Jin, Luo Li took out a Jade Vial and respectfully held it above her head: "My lord, Xu Wendong has already refined the Barrier-Breaking Pill."


    Tu Jin slowly opened his eyes, a gleam shing through them as he took the Jade Vial, opened the lid, and was immediately greeted by a refreshing aroma of medicine.


    At the moment he smelled the aroma, Tu Jin couldn’t help but feel invigorated, his body and mind refreshed.


    Suppressing his inner excitement, he couldn’t help but exim, "This kid truly has extraordinary abilities in alchemy; I can’t believe he managed to refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill in such a short time!"


    Luo Li sneered inwardly, thinking, if you knew Xu Wendong took just over half a shichen to refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill, you’d probably be too stunned to speak!


    Tu Jin then looked at Luo Li, revealing a cryptic smile: "Tell me honestly, did Xu Wendong and you partake in dual cultivation?"


    Luo Li knew she couldn’t hide this from Tu Jin, her face disying an expression of humiliation as she hurriedly replied: "My lord, even though Xu Wendong imed my body, my heart belongs to you."


    Tu Jin grinned: "So tell me, how was that guy in bed? How does hepare to me?"


    Luo Li responded nervously, "Naturally, my lord surpasses him by far; that guy is the kind that’s all show and no substance."


    Tu Jin asked, "What do you mean by that?"


    Luo Li lowered her head: "He barely managed a few thrusts before it was over."


    Tu Jin burst into heartyughter: "Seems like I am indeed the stronger one!"


    "Alright, you may leave now. I need to go into seclusion to charge toward bing a Third-Level Loose Immortal." As he said this, a gleam of cold light shed in his eyes.


    He couldn’t allow anyone to be his equal.


    Therefore.


    After his breakthrough, he was determined to kill Xu Wendong.


    Only by doing so could he wash away the humiliation in his heart.


    ------


    Time passed slowly.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.


    During these three days, Xu Wendong lived with Bai Tao in Liuyun Inn, leading a carefree life.


    The two enjoyed their time alone, forgetting about time, forgetting about noise.


    As if the whole world had only the two of them left.


    Such a simple, warm, and blissful time made Xu Wendong’s heart feel much more at peace.


    Indeed.


    Ever since he entered the Cultivation World, his nerves had been in a state of extreme tension, and it was only with Bai Tao that he could rx.


    As for Lei Nanxiang, she stayed home attending to family affairs.


    She thought she could finish everything in one night.


    Yet, she discovered that there seemed to be an endless amount of things to attend to.


    Night!


    Just as Xu Wendong finished his bath, he received a message from Luo Li: "Young Master Xu, Tu Jin has broken through, and he’s bathing now. He’ll ask me to serve him shortly."


    Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up; the old guy finally broke through!


    "Don’t rush, just do what I instructed you earlier," Xu Wendong replied, then looked at Bai Tao and said softly, "Sister Bai, I have to go out for a bit; you should rest first!"


    "Okay."


    Bai Tao didn’t ask where Xu Wendong was going; she knew her position well, knowing what can be asked and what should not be asked.


    In the next moment.


    Xu Wendong disappeared into the Peni Fairy Ind Minor World, guiding it towards the residence of Tu Jin and Luo Li.


    At the same time.


    Tu Jin finished his bath, invigorated, and walked out of the tub.


    Perhaps due to breaking through his bottleneck, he appeared spirited, as if rejuvenated by ten years. His deep eyes emitted a sharp cold light that dared not be met.


    Luo Li dried the water droplets off Tu Jin’s body with a prepared towel, then draped a loose robe over him.


    "No need to wear clothes; let’s get straight to the main event!" Tu Jin’s eyes were fervent, visibly impatient.


    Luo Li blushed and said, "My lord, aren’t you a bit too eager? You just broke through today; it’s a joyful asion, and I have prepared some wine to celebrate with you!"


    Tu Jin nced at the wine and dishes on the table behind the screen and burst intoughter: "You little temptress, you make a good point; today is indeed a day worth celebrating!"


    Luo Li was delighted, took Tu Jin’s hand, and led him to the table. She then picked up a wine pot and poured the wine into a cup, which she handed to Tu Jin.


    With a slight smile on his face, Tu Jin looked at the wine in the cup and then at Luo Li, revealing a cryptic smile in his eyes: "Don’t you think you’re being a bit overly attentive today?"
