Chapter 558: Revival of Senba (2)_1
"Hmm," Dugu Qianye nodded, she too wanted to cultivate a body sooner so she could touch him earlier.
"Then I’m heading out."
After Zi Xiao spoke, he left. Dugu Qianye watched his retreating figure and mumbled to herself, "What has he been up to recently? He’s acting all secretive..."
But no matter what Zi Xiao said, she could only obediently cultivate in the cave he had prepared for her, because the walls and the floor were embedded with treasures he had found to help repair her soul. With these, she would be able to shorten the time needed to form her body.
Over the following period, Zi Xiao would come to see her from time to time, but each visit became shorter. Sometimes he would rush off after a little while. This made Dugu Qianye more curious about whether something had happened.
"Xiao," Dugu Qianye stared at Zi Xiao, seeing that he was somewhat distracted, her eyes filled with resentment.
"What’s wrong?" Zi Xiao snapped back to attention and, seeing Dugu Qianye’s accusatory look, he asked.
"You’re hiding something from me," Dugu Qianye said. "Have you been busy falling in love?"
It’s not to say Dugu Qianye wasn’t feeling insecure. After all, she had been away for a thousand years. Though to her, those thousand years felt like the blink of an eye, for Zi Xiao, it was countless sunrises and moonsets. In that long millennium, what people he met and what happened, she knew nothing.
Moreover, Zi Xiao didn’t know Dugu Qianye would return. If he thought she couldn’t come back and found another woman, she would have no objections, would she?
