My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 78 - 063 A Pear Blossom

In this world, many people have long-cherished wishes that remain unfulfilled.

Late at night, the stars shimmer like water.

A tall young woman took her painting tools and walked to the lakeside of Muyu Peak, settling on the shore.

Unlike most female cultivators, she did not have long black hair but wore her hair in a neat shoulder-length cut, and her dark Daoist robe made her seem to blend into the night.

What was striking was that the youthful woman’s brows were not marked by the fragility seen in other women, but rather by a heroic spirit.

...

She thought Xu Chang’an, after his Open Source breakthrough, would come to see her as he usually did, bringing over what she needed... She wanted to congratulate him on breaking through with just one Source Opening Pill.

But he didn’t come.

She heard he went to Celestial Bright Peak.

"..."

That’s to be expected.

After all, she is his wife by matrimonial knot.

The young woman thought of something, looked toward the lakeside, and a Li Hua cat jumped onto her shoulder.

Turning her head, the cat nudged its forehead against hers, and a flicker of light appeared in the girl’s eyes. Only at this moment did the heroic spirit in her brows soften considerably.

She rested one hand against her cheek, as if feeling something, and then gently sighed.

"..."

The girl with short hair held her breath and gazed intently at the blank canvas on her drawing board, then picked up the brush.

Colors and shadows intertwined as the brush fell.

Bit by bit, beautiful lines began to emerge, the paper’s temperature blending with her fingertips, the brushstrokes slowly blossoming, solidifying into view as ripples spread across the mirror-like lake surface.

Slowly, a shape began to form; it was already clear that the figure on the paper was that of a young man. Though only a silhouette, it still exudes a gentle aura that is captivating.

She adjusted her breathing.

The young woman pressed her lips together, her brows and eyes full of focus; at this moment, everything about him was being captured on this paper, from shallow strokes to profound, delicately drawn.

Gradually, the depiction on the paper became more complete.

Just as she was about to draw the facial features, the sound of water lingered, and a black-canopied boat stopped before her, with several young women stepping out, one of whom waved at her.

"Senior Wen!"

With a light call, the young woman’s mental state was instantly disrupted, but to keep the lines unaffected, she steadied her brush and responded, "Hmm."

After her thoughts were disturbed, she stabilized the lines, put away the brush, and infused the painting with a layer of Spiritual Power, then gently covered the piece.

Only then did she stand up, looking at the black-canopied boat not far on the lake, with the Li Hua cat quietly perched on her shoulder.

Wen Li raised her head and said slowly, "Junior Sister, what’s the matter."

"Ah..." The young woman hesitated, then waved her hand, stammering, "N-no, it’s nothing, Senior Sister, at this upcoming Sword Testing Spring, the sisters of Tripod Heart Peak... will be supporting Senior Sister."

Muyu Peak does not welcome men, but disciples from other peaks are welcome as long as they register; they can come to Muyu Peak to play.

Clearly, the young women on this small boat were from Tripod Heart Peak, thus they seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"Senior Wen... G-good evening." Someone greeted her, seeming a bit reserved.

"Hmm." Wen Li nodded gently.

"W-w-w-wen Senior Sister, good evening!!" The youngest girl blushed at the sight of Wen Li, clearly revealing that she was a superfan of Wen Li.

"You’re here to visit Muyu Peak; you can check out the Celestial Observation Platform. The scenery there is quite nice." Wen Li spoke, then bid them farewell, and in a small step accelerated within a square inch, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"..."

It took a while for the young women to regain their composure.

"Senior Wen... really is stunning." Wen Li’s little fan girl had stars sparkling in her eyes, and it was evident that Senior Sister Wen, with her heroic air, was not only popular at Muyu Peak but favored by many girls throughout the Chaoyun Sect.

"Not as terrifying as the rumors say." One person recalled the Wen Li in a black robe just now, whispering, "It feels... great."

"Senior Sister was painting, we agreed just to have a quick look, who told you to disturb her."

"... I just couldn’t help it."

"Senior Sister’s swordsmanship is so impressive and she also knows danqing..." A girl gazed dreamily.

"There’s nothing surprising about Senior Sister Wen being proficient in everything."

A girl swept up her waist-length hair, hesitated, and said, "Do you think... if I cut my hair short like Senior Sister, it would be better than it is now."

"You’re nowhere near Senior Sister, don’t flatter yourself."

"True."

The young women stepped off the small boat, arriving at the spot where Wen Li was painting earlier, from her perspective it was a sea of blue waves under a clear moon, a truly beautiful scene.

With such a good environment, she must be painting the night scene.

——

The next day.

Xu Chang’an had cultivated all night, feeling refreshed, he tidied up his appearance simply, donned Muyu Peak’s deacon robe, and began his half-day work.

As the Outer Sect Steward of Muyu Peak, everyone’s duties differ, with clear distinctions.

He patted the storage pouch at his waist, thinking to himself that today he would leave it in the Steward Hall of Muyu Peak, thus returning it to the peak.

——

His work was relatively simple, mainly interacting with the girls of Muyu Peak, typically completing tasks by midday, leaving the rest of the time for his own pursuits. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Lately, due to welcoming guests from all directions, he mostly registered visiting girls at Muyu Peak, a task he was well accustomed to.

Xu Chang’an did not think doing these tasks was a waste of time, for working here earned him Sect Contribution Points, and with his previous cultivation at the Qi Refining Realm... even without doing these jobs, it was challenging to be assigned monster-slaying tasks suitable for his cultivation level.

——

The great hall of Muyu Peak was not luxurious, but it was exquisite and warm, with young women carrying books and rushing about constantly. Upon seeing Xu Chang’an, most would stop to greet him.

"Junior Brother, you’re here? I heard you’ve opened your source, ah... as they said, you look even better now."

"Junior Brother, did you rest well?"

"Young Master Xu, the plum saplings you previously sent to the Dongxuan Sect’s disciple peak were very well received; they’d like you to prepare three more."

"Got it."

"And..."

"..."

Xu Chang’an was already well acquainted with these "colleagues," and after a simple handover of tasks, he headed to his own room.

In truth, given his status, he was not supposed to have a personal "office" as per normal circumstances.

Initially, he worked with the young women, but after some commotion, his senior sisters collectively requested his "isolation."

Publicly, it was said that they did not wish for the junior sisters to remain in the same room with a man all day.

Upon opening the door, he saw stacks of dossiers on the desk.

He didn’t need to review them, mostly just sorting and recording them.

After a while, Xu Chang’an finished going through all the scrolls, then took up a Jade Talisman, logged into his steward privileges on the White Jade Platform, and entered the dossiers into the Chaoyun Sect’s "system," before stretching with a yawn.

"Finally... it’s done." Xu Chang’an stood up.

There were still some matters to address, like picking up or distributing items that couldn’t be conveniently sent via Teleportation Array.
