When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 263 Murong Yu, who has reached the realm of self-severance.

"Ninth Brother, I've missed you so much!" These words made him tremble all over.

Looking down at the beautiful woman in his arms, Zhu Chongjiu's heart suddenly raced.

He never expected that this woman would express her longing for him so openly.

This sudden turn of events left me momentarily at a loss.

Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was completely dumbfounded.

Zhu Chongjiu's awkward smile seemed particularly glaring at this moment, and his face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

As if sensing Zhu Chongjiu's pounding heartbeat, the woman temporarily left his embrace.

She yelled at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a young girl in the throes of first love meeting a young man before?"

After saying that, she quickly shrank back into Zhu Chongjiu's arms and hugged him tightly.

It was as if the person opposite her would disappear if she let go.

Only then did Zhu Chongjiu recover from his sudden bewilderment.

He gently placed his two outstretched arms on the woman's shoulders and pushed her outwards.

However, this action did not push the woman out of his arms. Instead, the woman let out a few dissatisfied groans and shook the hands on her shoulders.

Helpless, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly accelerated.

He could only run away into the distance, clutching the woman in his arms.

At this moment, he had no time to observe the ever-approaching Void Ships.

In a few breaths, Zhu Chongjiu ran nearly a kilometer before stopping and saying to the woman he was still holding in his arms, "President Murong, that's enough. Please let go of me!"

That's right, this woman is none other than President Murong, "Murong Yu," whom Zhu Chongjiu and his companions encountered in the Qingfeng World!

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Murong Yu finally released her arms from around his waist.

Do you know how much I suffered and how much pain I endured to come to this place to find you?

Now you won't even let someone hug you, are you even a man?

Murong Yu, her face streaked with tears, sobbed as she spoke to Zhu Chongjiu.

Upon seeing Murong Yu cry, Zhu Chongjiu was once again at a loss.

After a moment of stunned silence, he finally asked how Murong Yu came to be there.

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Murong Yu looked at Zhu Chongjiu as if he were a fool and asked, "How did you get here?"

What else can I do?

I'll just do the same thing you did!

Seeing that he and Murong Yu were talking at cross purposes, Zhu Chongjiu stammered in rebuttal, "That's not what I meant."

I'm asking you why you came here?

When Murong Yu heard the question from the person opposite her, her crying, which had stopped, started again.

"You heartless bastard, didn't I just say that?"

Why do you think I came here?

Then I'll tell you again.

I did it for you, for you!

Did you hear me clearly this time?

Zhu Chongjiu was so anxious when he realized that Murong Yu had misunderstood him again that he cried out, "Oh dear!"

After reorganizing his thoughts, he asked Murong Yu, "President Murong, what I mean is, aren't you at the Heavenly King level?"

"Isn't the Ancient God Ruins continent only open to those at the Heavenly General level or below?"

Hearing this, Murong Yu's crying subsided a little.

After a moment, Murong Yu said with a choked sob, "So what? I just severed one realm of my cultivation!"

Although Murong Yu spoke of it lightly and casually, Zhu Chongjiu knew how much pain it would take to sever one's cultivation.

It's no less brutal than cutting flesh and shaving bones.

Are you stupid?

Do you know that doing this could ruin your future?

Because you severed your own realm, damaging your foundation.

It will be very difficult to reach the same peak as before in the future.

Is it worth it just to see me?

Upon hearing the news that Murong Yu had severed her cultivation level, Zhu Chongjiu anxiously spoke to the woman before him.

But Murong Yu only replied to Zhu Chongjiu with two words: "Worth it!"

Murong Yu then continued to tell Zhu Chongjiu, "Not only will your cultivation be difficult to advance further."

Because of this incident, I had a falling out with my family.

He has been expelled from the family.

Nobody wants me now. If you don't take me back, I'll be homeless!

As she spoke, tears streamed down Murong Yu's face like a flood.

At the same time, she returned to Zhu Chongjiu's embrace.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Zhu Chongjiu felt a mix of emotions.

After a moment, Zhu Chongjiu sighed softly and patted Murong Yu on the back.

He said, "Alright, then you can stay with me for now."

I will do my best to find rare and precious medicinal herbs that can restore your health.

Upon hearing what Zhu Chongjiu said to her, Murong Yu, who was in his arms, smiled triumphantly.

However, this time, after Zhu Chongjiu pushed Murong Yu away from his arms, he ignored her huffing and dissatisfied expression.

Instead, he solemnly said to her, "President Murong, I understand what you mean."

But I must tell you, I am a married man with daughters.

I stumbled into your universe by accident.

The reason I'm practicing so recklessly is so that one day I can return to my hometown and reunite with my wife and daughters.

Therefore, I'm afraid I cannot accept your affections.

But I can accept you as my sister.

Don't worry, as long as Ninth Brother has a dry meal to eat, you definitely won't have to eat anything mushy!

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Murong Yu immediately retorted, "I know you have a wife and daughters."

Your little brother, Xiao Jin, secretly told me about this before.

But I don't care.

In the metaverse, I will be your first wife.

"Once you find a way back to your hometown, I'll be happy to be your junior."

This unexpected windfall left Zhu Chongjiu completely bewildered.

However, he immediately rejected Murong Yu's suggestion.

He then continued to say to Murong Yu, "Things of principle must not be touched!"

Seeing that Murong Yu wanted to say something more, Zhu Chongjiu interrupted her and continued, "Alright, it's settled then."

If President Murong continues to pester you like this, I can only say I'm sorry.

However, I will still help you find rare and precious natural treasures that can repair your foundation.

This can be considered as making up for the guilt I feel towards you.

Seeing Zhu Chongjiu's resolute attitude, Murong Yu withdrew the words she was about to say.

Instead, I'll follow Ninth Brother's arrangements completely.

Also, please don't call me President Murong anymore.

Now that I've become your little sister, Ninth Brother, you can call me "Xiaoyu" from now on!

Seeing that Murong Yu finally agreed to his suggestion, the two chatted for a few more minutes before getting up and walking back into the crowd.

At this moment, Murong Yu looked at Zhu Chongjiu's back and thought to herself, "Is it so easy to leave the metaverse?"

Apart from those beings from millions of years ago, even immortal venerables cannot leave this place.

Being able to stay by your side means the first step is complete.

As time goes by, sooner or later I'll get you.

Just you wait!
