2010 Back to the Saint Divine Land 1
Fengxian Palace had been their residence ever since Zhou Huaijin ascended the throne.

While Zhou Huaijin occasionally met with officials, most of his time was spent in Fengxian Hall.

As soon as she returned, the palace’s hidden guards were alerted.

Having just informed Zhou Huaijin, they were about to escort him out to greet her when Gu Chaoyan entered.

Observing the situation, the hidden guards quickly retreated.

Now, only the two of them remained in the hall.

Zhou Huaijin embraced her tightly.

“I am relieved that you have returned safely,” Zhou Huaijin said with a smile.

“Yes, nothing eventful occurred in the Bai Clan. Besides my breakthrough, the most important development is that I have mastered the barrier,” Gu Chaoyan stated. “With this barrier in place, the other four nations will be protected, except for the Saint Divine Land.”

“…?”

“In those four countries, there are no cultivators, and the absence of spiritual energy makes it challenging to break through the barrier. Even if someone attempts to breach it, they would need to weigh the costs and resources required to do so,” Gu Chaoyan explained.

“…”

“Thus, it will be highly secure here.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded, agreeing with Chaoyan’s assessment.

He realized that she was correct.

Upon witnessing the changes in the Haitian Market, he had grown anxious, fearing potential threats to the Saint Divine Land. However, upon his return, he discovered that the situation wasn’t as dire as initially thought. Apart from minor incursions by a few lesser demons, the Saint Divine Land had remained untouched.

Moreover, the hidden guards had already dealt with it.

Recently, he had been thinking about the reason.

After a while, he figured it out.

The reason why the Haitian City Gathering had such a big change was because of the richness of the Haitian Market, and what could the Saint Divine Land do to attract the attention of those people?

That was not the case.

Apart from the fact that those family clans that cultivated back then came for the Golden Rolls,

Almost nothing happened.

After thinking it through,

He also felt much more relaxed.

He held Gu Chaoyan tightly in his arms.

It had been nearly a month since they last met.

It was too long for him to hold the feelings towards her.

Now, she was finally in front of him.

Zhou Huaijin’s eyes were burning. He picked her up and carried her to the bed in the inner hall.

Ever since Chaoyan got stronger, she was no longer as afraid of the coldness as before. Basically, the weather was a little cold and she did not wear much. She was only wearing a thin white dress.

With a light tug, he revealed her undergarments and her smooth shoulders and collarbones.

“Did you miss me?” Zhou Huaijin asked with a hoarse voice.

“Okay.” Gu Chaoyan replied.

Gu Chaoyan was a calm and self-possessed person. She was usually calm and straightforward in front of Zhou Huaijin.

But today was different.
Faced with such warmth and affection, Gu Chaoyan’s heart couldn’t help but fill with a radiant heat.

She extended her delicate white hands and wrapped them around Zhou Huaijin’s back.

Having known Zhou Huaijin for over two years, Gu Chaoyan felt less shy and nervous in his presence.

She placed a tender kiss on Zhou Huaijin’s forehead.

Zhou Huaijin gazed up at her in surprise, his eyes filled with adoration. Gu Chaoyan smiled at him and playfully winked.

To Zhou Huaijin, she was like an enchanting fairy, always teasing and mischievous.

“Chaoyan.”

“Chaoyan.”

“Chaoyan.”

Zhou Huaijin murmured in a hoarse voice, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.
