Chapter 1021: Inspiration

Half a month later, the time when the Evil Emperor should have appeared in the Central Plains, Kai Xin felt that a decision must have already been made in the battles between them and the Evil Emperor and the First-Class Hall!
But no matter what the outcome was, Kai Xin wanted to make amends to Xu Xin as soon as possible and fulfill the promise he had made—to her, because he didn’t know when Chen Kaixin would wake up.
It was for this reason that Kai Xin set a rather hasty date!
“Okay…”
Seeing Kai Xin agree without hesitation and set the date, Xu Xin, who had initially only wanted to use their game identities to test their feelings while keeping some distance, became uneasy. A blush spread from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.
“It’s too fast.”
“Not fast.”
Kai Xin smiled and gently pulled Xu Xin back into his arms. “Can you tell me now when you arrived and how long you’ve been here?”
“A month ago…”
“I acted on impulse back then. I really wanted to know if what you told us was true.” Xu Xin seemed accustomed to the current atmosphere and posture between them. Her tone softened as she rested her head against him, murmuring, “Over these past month or so… you only wake up during meals. With each passing day, I believed it a little more, and my heart grew more painful… I knew you spent so much time over there that you’d eventually leave us forever…”
Hearing this, Kai Xin felt a sharp pain in his heart. He instinctively held her tighter, murmuring, “No, that won’t happen.”
Who in the martial world of the Central Plains could have imagined that Kai Xin, who possessed the strongest forces and power in the realm, was now experiencing an unease others didn’t share?
A price.
Was this the price for gaining three years of experience? Sometimes, Kai Xin truly wondered if fate was playing tricks on him—giving him what he shouldn’t have, only to make him face separation and loss once again.
The two gradually calmed down amidst the warmth between them…
After what seemed like a long time, the person in his arms stirred slightly and raised her lovely face. “Kai Xin.”
Kai Xin gently wiped away the dried tears on her face, ready to listen.
“It’s still early for meals… Did something happen over there that made you come here suddenly?” Xu Xin, with her kind heart, reminded Kai Xin, who then remembered he had come to gather information about the “Spirit Purification Scripture.”
“Mm, there indeed is something.”

In front of Xu Xin, Kaixin no longer wanted to hide anything and immediately shared some of the experiences she had there. Xu Xin lay quietly in her arms, listening to Kaixin talk about what had happened on the other side three years later, filled with curiosity. Especially when she heard that the strength of Yipin Tang had expanded to such an extent, her eyes widened in adorable surprise. It took a long time as Kaixin recounted many things… Xu Xin listened very attentively. Finally, Xu Xin bit her little finger and stared at the ceiling for a while: “Since it’s the supreme treasure of Shaolin, it must be better than ordinary martial arts manuals…” “I know that, but even though I asked three experts at the Mythical Realm to fight with me, it didn’t help at all—the Xi Sui Jing showed no improvement at all,” Kaixin said in a tone of both helplessness and lightness. “Of course.” “Three experts in the early stages of the Mythical Realm, and after reaching the tenth level of the Yi Jin Jing, you said it takes them multiple attempts to advance a level. The Xi Sui Jing can’t even be activated on its own, so it must be even harder to practice… Besides, the Mad Monk also told you to start practicing the Xi Sui Jing only three years after mastering the Yi Jin Jing—there must be a reason for that.” “But I can’t wait three years. If I don’t improve my strength quickly, when the Evil Emperor arrives in the Central Plains, Xi Feng Lou will surely collapse. By then, not even the Emperor will be able to protect himself, and Feng Ling will hardly be able to leave the capital… It will be just me fighting against the Wild Wolves Organization and Yipin Tang!” Kaixin sighed bitterly. Only then did Xu Xin realize that Kaixin’s situation was completely different from theirs. Here, everything was under the control of the Mu family, but over there, it was under the control of the Wild Wolves and Yipin Tang—exactly the opposite! After thinking for a while, she furrowed her adorable eyebrows and started brainstorming solutions with Kaixin. Time passed quickly… The two spent over an hour in the prison cell. Suddenly, Xu Xin’s exclamation rang out in the silent cell: “I know why! Why not go and ask the Mad Monk directly?” “…” Thinking Xu Xin had come up with a good idea, Kaixin was surprised and touched his nose: “The Mad Monk isn’t someone easy to see. He told me to wait three years after mastering the Yi Jin Jing before I can approach him to get the Xi Sui Jing.” “But you’re his disciple now. There’s no reason why you can’t ask him. Maybe you can get some clues.” “The problem is, what excuse do I have to talk to the Mad Monk? Chat casually?” Kaixin smiled bitterly. “Idiot!” Xu Xin bumped Kaixin’s chin with her head. “What level have you reached in the Yi Jin Jing now?” Kaixin was speechless—Xu Xin had looked down on him.

Sighing, Happy replied cheerfully, “It’s at full mastery already.”
“I wasn’t asking about the ‘Yijin Jing’ over there. I’m asking about this place—you yourself said it’s hard to leave that place easily.”
“…”
Happy suddenly felt a bit foolish. Since having someone in his arms, his thinking had become much slower, not as sharp as Xu Xin’s.
But he had been preoccupied with that place lately and hadn’t paid much attention to what was happening here. It had been a long time since he had checked the level of the ‘Yijin Jing’.
An idea struck him, and he immediately summoned it to take a look, only to be stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
“Level 99.37. I didn’t expect that after almost two months here, it would have reached full mastery…”
“Of course!” A sly, triumphant smile flashed in Xu Xin’s eyes. “Otherwise, do you think I’ve just been foolishly staring at you all this time?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Happy stared at her in shock. “You…”
A warm current rushed through his body. Unconsciously, he lowered his head…
Xu Xin blinked in surprise, watching Happy’s face get closer and closer. Her neck turned red, glowing like a blush.
The moment their lips parted, Happy’s gaze toward her became even softer and more affectionate. “Silly girl. I said you’re not foolish.”
Over the past month, she had kept giving the prisoner more precise cultivation instructions, striving to optimize the training speed at every moment—taking more time and effort than her own cultivation required.
No wonder the ‘Yijin Jing’ had improved so rapidly after such a dull period here…
Xu Xin’s eyes shone. “You promised to give me the most romantic wedding in the world. This is my reward for you.”
“Thank you, silly girl.”
“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. Hurry up and continue practicing. Make haste—once your ‘Yijin Jing’ is fully mastered, you should have the reason and opportunity to let the Crazy Monk talk to you.” Xu Xin gently pushed Happy away from her chest, which she was reluctant to leave.
“I understand.”
Happy didn’t indulge in romantic thoughts any longer. All he wanted now was to quickly deal with the Evil Emperor, resolve the crisis on the other side, and then return here to give Xu Xin an unforgettable wedding… the grandest wedding in the Central Plains!
…
“Silver Fox!”
“I’m here. Are you still practicing in the gang’s prison?”
“Mm. Any news from the Wild Wolves lately?”
“No,” replied Silver Fox.

“The people of the Wild Wolves have been subdued now; the Great Nation hardly dares to enter. The Prophet is also fully focused on managing his lists of global wonders and notable figures… Central Plains is also completely peaceful.”
“Good. But we still need to stay vigilant. Besides, there’s something I need your help with.”
“Since when are you so polite? Go ahead.”
“I want to hold a wedding with Xu Xin in the martial world. Where do you think would be the most suitable place?”
“Wait… What did you just say? What wedding?”
Hearing Silver Fox’s coughing and disbelief, Happy repeated his words again, helpless and amused…
“Heavens, you’ve finally come around. To be honest, these past days while freeloaded off you, seeing you and that girl Xu Xin in a cold war, my heart was almost pounding out of my chest. But how did you resolve it so quickly?” Silver Fox replied in a letter, “Helping you pick a location is no problem. How about I teach you a couple of tricks?”
“A wedding…”
“Alright, if you refuse to say, never mind!” Thinking Happy was dodging the question, Silver Fox ignored him and changed tone, “Well, as the greatest expert in Central Plains and the head of the Mu family, the wedding venue mustn’t be chosen carelessly! It has to be grand and solemn to reflect the prestige of our Mu family—and yours as the world’s greatest expert.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Give me some suggestions.”
“The Forbidden City! What do you think?”
“…Do you want a bunch of elite palace warriors to cause trouble at my wedding?”
“Uh, cough cough, if that doesn’t work, let’s change it. I just think holding it there would be magnificent…” Silver Fox quickly corrected, “How about the Murong family? After all, it’s your sect!”
“Skip the Murong family.”
Happy’s mind flashed with the images of three old Murong men. He was most worried about encountering them—what if they assigned him a series of tasks, trapping him there and ruining his cultivation skills? That would be utterly frustrating.
“Those two places are of great significance. If you’re not satisfied with either, it’ll really be hard to choose…” Silver Fox grew troubled, “If all else fails, how about our main headquarters? Though Baokang County is a bit small. When heroes from all over come to congratulate us, it probably won’t be big enough!”
“…”
“Keep an eye out for a place for now. Give me an answer in a few days. Also, ask the guys in the family to help me arrange it…”
“Sure! There haven’t been many major events in Central Plains lately. Once I tell them, they’ll be overjoyed and rush to help!” After a pause, Silver Fox sent a message via carrier pigeon that made Happy extremely embarrassed:
“But Happy… are you sure the bride won’t run away on that day?”
