Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

148: Addicted (Long Chapter)”Aiya~~”

Jiang Susu’s delicate body trembled in fright;

Out of inner nervousness, she instantly pressed her jade-like legs together, sandwiching Chen Qingxuan.

Immediately after, Chen Qingxuan cried out, ”Pain, pain, pain... Give me some air.”

Shiu—

Jiang Susu stood up with a flushed face and yanked Chen Qingxuan out from under her skirt;

Before she could figure out the situation, Huang Qingxue spoke first, ”Baby, what are you doing...”

”Who the hell is your baby? Call me an evil cultivator!”

Chen Qingxuan could no longer hold it in.

As Jiang Susu picked him up, he clung to her neck like a drowning man clutching at a straw. ”Susu, save me... Your brother is about to be broken by this old woman.”

Hua—

”You...?”

In an instant, The two women were both struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

What’s going on?

Huang Qingxue stepped forward in disbelief, but before she could speak, Chen Qingxuan, like a bird startled by a bow, said to Jiang Susu, ”Quick, take me away from her.”

”Hm?”

Jiang Susu came back to her senses;

Forced by Chen Qingxuan’s agitated reaction, she could only retreat while asking, ”Are... are you Brother?”

”Of course I am.”

Chen Qingxuan felt like crying.

On the other hand, Huang Qingxue looked as if she had been struck by lightning, showing an expression of disbelief. ”You... you’ve recovered your memories?”

Jiang Susu was equally confused.

”I never lost my memories.” Chen Qingxuan didn’t need to pretend anymore. He looked at Jiang Susu and asked, ”Susu, how did I end up in her heavenly phoenix pearl... I fell into her hands as soon as I was resurrected.”

”Hm?”

Jiang Susu seemed to understand something.

Immediately, she told Chen Qingxuan everything that had happened, including the truth about Ji Li and Luo Yin throwing themselves into the Void Fissure.

Although many people knew about these events, Chen Qingxuan, who was the first to sacrifice himself, had no way of knowing.

Jiang Susu emphasized, ”Brother, don’t worry. Qingxue extracted your memories and found that you aren’t a bad person... Actually, she stopped hating you long ago. To protect the remnant souls of the three of you, she placed you in the heavenly phoenix pearl.”

”She doesn’t hate me anymore?”

Chen Qingxuan looked at her in disbelief;

But at this moment, Huang Qingxue’s exquisite and beautiful face showed none of the happiness Chen Qingxuan remembered; instead, it was filled with deep disappointment and helplessness... Seeing those resentful eyes, Chen Qingxuan asked Jiang Susu for confirmation again, ”Does she really not hate me? Why do I feel like she’s not very friendly?”

”Why did you lie to me?”

Before Jiang Susu could speak, Huang Qingxue was the first to ask aggrievedly.

At this moment, no words could describe her feelings... After all, such a cute son was suddenly gone.

”You’re blaming me?” Chen Qingxuan pointed at himself. ”Who told you not to explain the situation to me first... You used to hunt me down all over the world... Do you know the feeling of helpless despair I felt when I saw you by my side as soon as I was resurrected?”

”I...”

Huang Qingxue was about to step forward to argue;

But before she could finish, Chen Qingxuan pulled on Jiang Susu again. ”Susu, hold me and stay away from her.”

”You...”

Seeing Chen Qingxuan’s wary eyes, Huang Qingxue didn’t know what to say for a moment;

She just felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

She had already accepted this child... and now she was suddenly told it was an act?

Then the previous behaviors... were they all intentional?

”Alright, stop arguing.”

Jiang Susu spoke up to arbitrate.

”Qingxue, tell Brother first... will you still seek revenge on him?” Jiang Susu asked her good sister while holding Chen Qingxuan.

”I...” At this moment, Huang Qingxue’s heart was very conflicted, but she still shook her head. ”No!”

”Did you hear that, Brother?” Jiang Susu smiled sweetly and said, ”Back when your Physical Body first shattered, Qingxue had already changed her mind. Otherwise, she would have acted while you were still a remnant soul; why wait until you were resurrected?”

(”...”)

Chen Qingxuan didn’t speak, just looked at Huang Qingxue warily;

He couldn’t deny Jiang Susu’s words... He just hadn’t expected that by a strange twist of fate, Huang Qingxue’s hatred for him had actually been dissolved.

But his experiences over the past few days... still made him feel a bit apprehensive facing Huang Qingxue.

Especially when she petted him like a cat... it was just too wrong.

A moment later.

The tense atmosphere in the Sleeping Hall eased.

After learning about Chen Qingxuan’s situation, Jiang Susu smiled and said, ”Although Brother’s strength is gone, there’s no danger on the Cangyun Continent now, so you can slowly Cultivate... It’s already great that Brother still has his memories.”

Chen Qingxuan spoke up, ”Susu, don’t pinch my face.”

”I want to!” Jiang Susu acted spoiled. ”I didn’t expect Brother to be so cute as a child... Hehe~ Maybe I really should listen to Qingxue and find you a xiang ji sui fruit.”

”?”

Chen Qingxuan suddenly looked at Huang Qingxue;

Find what?

A hint of guilt flashed in Huang Qingxue’s eyes, and she changed the subject. ”Um, Susu... tell him about Demon Lord Ji and Qian You.”

”Oh, right.”

Jiang Susu suddenly remembered;

Now they didn’t dare tell Ji Qianyou the news of Chen Qingxuan’s resurrection because they didn’t know how to explain to her why Chen Qingxuan was back while Ji Li had made no progress... Upon learning about the lie from years ago, Chen Qingxuan mused, ”Don’t worry, I’ll explain this to Qian You when I see her.”

”Brother is still so masculine!”

Jiang Susu beamed at his words and couldn’t help but bury her head in Chen Qingxuan’s chest and rub against him.

”No... don’t, Susu... calm down.”

Chen Qingxuan couldn’t take it.

After all, with his small body... how could he withstand a woman’s roughhousing?

(”...”)

Huang Qingxue stood by and watched, her heart filled with mixed emotions;

Yesterday, this warmth would have belonged to her... but now she could only watch.

The next moment, her eyes darted around, as if she had come up with some idea.

After some simple small talk.

Chen Qingxuan remembered something. ”Susu, do me a favor.”

”Mhm, I’ll stay with you tonight!”

”Wait, what...?”

Chen Qingxuan was startled, his body trembling;

At this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Especially facing his good sister’s meaningful smile, he couldn’t help but swallow. ”Um... I heard there are many statues of me on the Cangyun Continent now, right?”

”Yes, many people are worshiping Brother!”

”In that case, I want to ask you to help me promote it... so that more people will go to burn incense and pray.”

”Why?”

”I won’t say. Just do as I say.”

Chen Qingxuan stated.

Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu looked at each other. Though they didn’t understand why Chen Qingxuan was doing this, they readily agreed.

Night fell.

The atmosphere in the Sleeping Hall gradually grew heated.

Jiang Susu said considerately, ”Brother must be sleepy, right?”

”Cough... not sleepy.”

Chen Qingxuan shook his head repeatedly.

Before, he would have definitely wanted his good sister to take him away from Huang Qingxue’s sight, but now... he felt it was safer with Huang Qingxue around;

It was dangerous to be alone with either of them.

Hearing this, Jiang Susu turned to her good sister. ”Qingxue, you go rest first!”

”...This is my Sleeping Hall.”

Huang Qingxue was speechless.

She knew exactly what her good sister was thinking. Her Phoenix eyes gazed at Chen Qingxuan with complexity. ”Actually, I still have some things I want to talk to him about in private!”

Before Chen Qingxuan could speak;

Jiang Susu flatly refused. ”But Brother is still afraid to be alone with you. Maybe next time... Go to bed early tonight, right, Brother?”

”Cough!” Chen Qingxuan said nervously, ”I think since everyone isn’t sleepy... why don’t we head to the Demon Emperor Palace overnight so I can meet Qian You sooner?”

”Brother, you need to rest.”

”I don’t need to.”

”I said... you need to rest!”

Jiang Susu’s voice turned cold.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently into Chen Qingxuan’s, like a predator watching its prey, radiating an undeniable pressure.

Chen Qingxuan swallowed. ”Susu... your brother is still a child.”

”Who isn’t?”

Jiang Susu was dismissive.

As she spoke, she had already shed her secret technique, revealing her true loli nature.

”?”

Chen Qingxuan was dumbfounded.

Wait, are we really going this far?

Just as he was in a bind, Huang Qingxue spoke up, ”Susu, don’t be reckless... Now is not the time.”

”I...”

Jiang Susu wanted to argue further;

But with the words on the tip of her tongue, she looked at the young boy right in front of her and eventually swallowed them, though she still demanded, ”Anyway, I’m sleeping with Brother tonight.”

(”...”)

Chen Qingxuan was stunned.

Seeing he couldn’t refuse, he could only compromise.

Fortunately, Jiang Susu did have boundaries and didn’t do anything reckless all night, but how long those boundaries would last... Chen Qingxuan couldn’t say.

Early the next morning.

The three of them set off for the Western Regions.

Passing through the Central Continent region, Chen Qingxuan suddenly remembered something. ”So the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Demon Alliance have merged into the Xuan Alliance now?”

”Mhm!” Jiang Susu nodded. ”The ’Xuan’ character was taken from your name, intended to commemorate you. The Xuan Alliance headquarters is located in the Hundred Flowers Tower, though the Hundred Flowers Tower has been expanded now.”

Chen Qingxuan made a quick decision. ”Let’s go to the Xuan Alliance first.”

”Qian You lives in the Demon Emperor Palace.”

”I know.”

Chen Qingxuan smiled slightly, having his own plans. ”I want to go see Lin Ya, Li Yan, and the others. After all, they helped me a lot back then. I have something to say to them.”

The two women looked at each other and didn’t refuse... Central Continent, Xuan Alliance Headquarters.

The Hundred Flowers Tower, which was only a single building back then, had now expanded into a complex of buildings. As far as the eye could see, everything within a few miles of the Hundred Flowers Tower belonged to the Xuan Alliance.

”It seems the Cangyun Continent has changed a lot in these decades!” Looking at the figures walking within the Xuan Alliance, some human and some demon, getting along very harmoniously, Chen Qingxuan couldn’t help but feel emotional.

That the Human and Demon Races could be so harmonious did not disappoint Luo Yin’s expectations.

Inside the main hall.

Chen Qingxuan looked at The two women and said, ”Call Lin Ya and Li Yan here. I want to talk to them privately.”

”Alright!”

The two women had no objections.

Before long.

Before the two figures arrived, their voices were heard first.

”Why did Alliance Leader Jiang call us here in such a hurry?”

”I’m not sure! Alliance Leader Huang also told me to come... saying we’re here to meet someone. Who is putting on such a big show?”

Lin Ya and Li Yan walked into the hall while talking.

They didn’t look closely at the young boy standing right in front of them at first, but instead looked up to see if there was anyone else in the hall.

”Cough!”

Chen Qingxuan cleared his throat.

Only then did the two look at him. ”Little kid, whose child are you?”

”Who do you think I look like?”

Chen Qingxuan asked back.

”Wait.” Lin Ya was startled and whispered to Li Yan, ”Look... why does he look so much like Alliance Master Chen? Could he be Alliance Master Chen’s child?”

Li Yan raised an eyebrow. ”How many years has it been since Alliance Master Chen passed away? How could he have left behind such a small child?”

”True!”

Lin Ya nodded in agreement.

Chen Qingxuan didn’t waste words: ”This venerable one has already been resurrected.”

Hua—

As soon as these words were spoken, the two were instantly shaken.

”Greetings, Alliance Master.”

After confirming it really was Chen Qingxuan, the two wept with joy and hastily saluted.

But before they could ask anything, Chen Qingxuan stated, ”Don’t spread the news of my resurrection. Let the world continue to think I’m dead. I’ve come to you today to ask for a favor.”

”Please give us your orders, Lord Alliance Master.”

Li Yan and Lin Ya looked at each other and said excitedly.

Chen Qingxuan didn’t beat around the bush and honestly stated his purpose—to lead a trend of worshiping him.

Besides that, he also mentioned the benefits of worshiping him, which was the Wild God’s innate Golden Spear Unyielding, hoping this might attract more people.

”Alliance Master Chen... does it really have such a miraculous effect?”

Li Yan asked with wide eyes.

Although this ability was embarrassing to mention, in order to earn more incense value, Chen Qingxuan still said resolutely:

”No deception for young or old, it’s the real deal!”

”Whoa!”

Lin Ya and Li Yan were both amused.

Although they didn’t understand the principle, at this moment, they both wanted to test if it was true.

Chen Qingxuan interrupted them, ”Go do the important business first.”

”Yes!”

The two didn’t waste any words and immediately complied.

Before leaving, Lin Ya looked back and asked, ”Lord Demon Emperor, will the Cangyun Continent still be threatened by the Three Thousand Divine Provinces in the future?”

”Not for now, but no one can say for sure in the future.”

Chen Qingxuan waved them off.

After they left, he sighed softly, ”I don’t know if this promotion is good or bad. Oh well... who told the Wild God to only have this kind of Divine Power!”

Little did he know;

This seemingly insignificant Divine Power would bring him an unexpected surprise in the near future.

As Chen Qingxuan prepared to find The two women and head to the Demon Emperor Palace to find his little disciple, a graceful figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

”Holy crap.”

After seeing who it was, Chen Qingxuan quickly looked around;

Where was Susu?

Why was she alone?

As if sensing Chen Qingxuan’s thoughts, Huang Qingxue said while walking into the hall, ”Stop looking. I’ve sent Susu away.”

”W-what do you want?”

Chen Qingxuan retreated repeatedly, sounding nervous.

Shiu—

Huang Qingxue rushed over in an instant and grabbed Chen Qingxuan’s shoulder;

Chen Qingxuan was startled, ”Don’t come over... don’t come over here!”

”Shh!”

Huang Qingxue covered his mouth;

Seeing his panicked state, she explained helplessly, ”Don’t scream... I won’t hurt you.”

Chen Qingxuan twisted his face away from her hand and said warily, ”Then what do you want?”

”Did you really have your memories as soon as you were resurrected?” Huang Qingxue bit her lip and said with a complex expression, ”Everything... was an act?”

Chen Qingxuan’s eyes darted around, and he swallowed. ”What are you trying to say... I admit I lied to you... but I was also afraid you’d take revenge on me!”

A faint blush appeared on Huang Qingxue’s beautiful face. ”I’m not blaming you for lying to me... I just wanted to ask... was there even a single moment when you were serious?”

”Serious about what?”

”Emm... like... truly being a child?”
