Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]
Chapter 492: Kilometres Away
Lin Mengmeng, Zhao Chenhua, and Ouyang Ling exchanged a glance and sighed.
"Is Shen Xu so charming?" Bai Jingjing, Xiao Weimin’s fifth wife, asked.
"Look at the poster." Zhao Chenhua said and pushed a bounty post across the table.
"He is more beautiful and charming than his bounty image." She continued, and Bai Jingjing narrowed her eyes.
She was a descendant of the Bai family and rarely came out of her clan’s territory.
This time, she followed others on a training trip and encountered an accident. When she was most desperate, Xiao Weimin saved her, and Bai Jingjing fell in love with him.
In the end, Xiao Weimin accepted her and married her, but she soon realised that her husband often fell into a daze. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After asking the other wives, she learned that Xiao Weimin fell in love at first sight with Shen Xu and had been infatuated for almost eight thousand years.
"He looks a little like brother Bai." Bai Jingjing observed, and the others nodded.
"They are twins." Lin Mengmeng said, and Bai Jingjing couldn’t help but be surprised.
"How is this possible? Brother Bai is from the immortal realm and arrived at our clan’s forbidden grounds. Where did Shen Xu come from?" She asked, and Lin Mengmeng shrugged.
"No one knows what’s going on with their relationship, but we are sure that they are twins." She said.
Hearing this, Bai Jingjing frowned but didn’t press the matter because she could see that the others truly didn’t know.
"Did Shen Xu reject Weimin?" She asked, and the others shook their heads.
"Weimin didn’t get a chance to confess before the person left. Also, Shen Xu has a Taoist partner." Zhao Chenhua explained, but Bai Jingjing sneered.
"What’s the big deal about a Taoist partner. There are many ways to end their relationship." She said.
"Shen Xu and his partner are contract partners. Such a relationship is not easy to break." Lin Mengmeng said, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
"It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible." Bai Jingjing argued.
"That may not be the case. I heard that they have formed the strictest Taoist contract. The kind that can’t be broken." Ouyang Ling said, but Bai Jingjing snorted.
"My Bai family is a hidden clan that has existed for millions of years. What kind of contract haven’t we seen? I just need to enter the family library to find a solution." She said, and the others exchanged a glance.
"Sister Bai, are you so eager for Weimin to marry someone else? Aren’t you afraid that Shen Xu will take all of Weimin’s attention?" Zhao Chenhua asked.
After all, Xiao Weimin had spent thousands of years pining after the double, which showed Shen Xu’s place in the man’s heart.
"Afraid? What’s there to be afraid of? Shen Xu is a double who is neither male nor female. Weimin is only infatuated because he hasn’t gotten the person. The obsession will end after he plays with him a few times." Bai Jingjing said and shrugged with a careless attitude.
"Where is Shen Xu?" She asked.
"He was last seen in the Southern Blue Ocean but hasn’t reappeared in eight thousand years." Zhao Chenhua said.
"The Southern Blue Ocean is full of powerful sea beasts. Could Shen Xu be dead?" Bai Jingjing asked, and Lin Mengmeng sighed before answering.
"Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were last seen with fellow Daoist Mo, senior Feng Xue, and the Xuanyuan triplets." She started and quickly continued.
"Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t leave their soul lamps in the Tianxuan sect, but the others did. From their soul lamps, we know that the triplets, fellow Daoist Mo, and senior Feng are alive and well, but no one can find them."
"My Bai family has some ancient tracking techniques. I will ask my mother to lend a secret guard." Bai Jingjing said and directly messaged her mother.
"Let’s..." She started, but the door opened, interrupting their conversation.
"Brother Bai." Lin Mengmeng called when she saw the intruder.
"Brother Bai, you have already come out of seclusion?" Zhao Chenhua said, and Bai Guo nodded.
"Just now." The double said and soon continued.
"We have news about my...., about Shen Xu." He said.
"What’s going on?" Lin Mengmeng asked.
"Fellow Daoist Bo has just seen Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan at the abandoned mine number forty-three." Bai Guo said, and the others couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Isn’t that a few kilometres from here?" Zhao Chenhua asked, and Bai Guo nodded.
"What are they doing at the mine?" Ouyang Ling asked.
"Shen Xu is crossing his tribulation, and Zhen Yuan is guarding him." Bai Guo revealed, and everyone exchanged a glance.
"This is a perfect opportunity to capture him." Bai Jingjing said and hurriedly stood.
"Sister Bai, don’t underestimate those two." Lin Mengmeng started with a serious expression.
"Both are skilled in various arts, and they have level nine puppets. It’s not easy to catch them." She warned, but Bai Jingjing didn’t take it to heart.
"Where is Weimin?" Zhao Chenhua asked, and Bai Guo sighed before speaking.
"I haven’t told him yet." He said.
Soon after, the wives left the room and went to find Xiao Weimin.
At this time, Xiao Weimin was lying on the bed with Zhu Huang beside him.
"We need to collect more resources before the Xuanwu secret realm opens." Zhu Huang said, and Xiao Weimin nodded.
"We have all broken through to the tribulation transcending realm, but it won’t be easy to practice to the peak stage before the secret realm opens." The man said.
"My system can let us practice in a time cave, but it can’t give us all the resources that we need." The double said.
"The Tianxuan continent lacks level nine treasures, but it has plenty of dangerous areas. We just need to explore these areas to find the cultivation resources that we need." Xiao Weimin said.
"You are sure about the West Sky Desert?" Zhu Huang asked, and Xiao Weimin nodded.
"I am sure." He started and planned to say more, but a knock interrupted their conversation.
Using his spiritual sense, Xiao Weimin saw his wives and sat up, his brows creased in a frown.
"Why did you come?" He asked in a low voice that floated outside the room.
"Weimin, we know where Shen Xu is." Lin Mengmeng said, and Xiao Weimin jumped out of the bed, already using his qi to gather and put on his clothes.
Similarly, Zhu Huang got out of bed and hurriedly put on his clothes.
When both were dressed, Xiao Weimin opened the door and looked at his wives.
"Where is he?" He asked, but Lin Mengmeng didn’t answer.
Instead, she pointed in the distance, and Xiao Weimin turned to see dark tribulation clouds.
"He is crossing the tribulation?" He asked, and his wives nodded.
Seeing this, Xiao Weimin smiled, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"Let’s go." He said.
