“Insult?”
Nearby, Xiong Ni chuckled lightly, “Little brother, she’s not insulting you, she can see through your nature! Your true nature is lustful, that’s why she said that!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Shen Qin stared at Ye Xuan, her expression turning sour, “Do you even know what you’ve done?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I was just passing by!”
Shen Qin pointed at Xiong Ni, a bit angry, “Do you know who she is?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Xiong Ni and shook his head, “No clue!”
Shen Qin glared at him, “You’ve caused a huge disaster!”
Ye Xuan felt speechless.
I didn’t do a damn thing!
Another disaster?
At that moment, Shen Qin turned to Xiong Ni, “What do you plan to do?”
Xiong Ni blinked, “You trapped me for so long, and now I’m out! You’re asking what I want to do? Shen Qin, can you not ask such a stupid question? It’ll make me look down on you!”
Shen Qin looked at Xiong Ni without speaking, but the temperature in the area began dropping at a terrifying rate.
Xiong Ni, however, remained calm, a faint smile on her face.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan said, “You two big shots, I’m just a passerby, you guys chat!”
With that, he turned to leave!
But Shen Qin called out, “You can’t go!”
Ye Xuan turned to her, “Why not?”
Shen Qin didn’t answer.
Xiong Ni laughed, “Little brother, she wants to use that mysterious spacetime in you to seal me again! You won’t help her, right?”
She gave a half-smile, her expression a bit eerie.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “The grudges between you two seniors, I really have no interest in meddling, I’m just passing through!”
At that moment, the little tower chimed in, “Young master, when did you become such a coward?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “You think I’m like you? Big bro, even if I’m reckless, I’ve got to pick my battles, okay?”
The little tower said coolly, “With three swords, who do we need to fear?”
Ye Xuan rubbed his temples.
He really wanted to smack this tower, ever since it got upgraded, it didn’t even take his old man seriously anymore!
If this kept up, it’d cause trouble sooner or later!
Xiong Ni laughed, “Little brother, they won’t let you go, because you’ve got that mysterious spacetime in you, they’ll definitely try every trick to get it and use it against me!”
Ye Xuan turned to Xiong Ni, “And you? You could kill me right now and take the mysterious spacetime in me, couldn’t you?”
Xiong Ni rolled her eyes, “I’m not that mean!”
Shen Qin said flatly, “She hasn’t made a move because she doesn’t know your background yet! But I’m sure she won’t let you off, because if she gets that mysterious spacetime, her power will skyrocket!”
Xiong Ni glared at Shen Qin, “Don’t try to drive a wedge between us!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He felt like he’d been dragged into a massive vortex!
Shen Qin was about to say more, but Xiong Ni suddenly laughed, “Shen Qin, let’s end today’s reunion here! We’ll catch up another day!”
With a wave of her right hand—
Boom!
Shen Qin’s projection was instantly erased!
Xiong Ni turned to Ye Xuan, smiling, “Let’s go!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “We?”
Xiong Ni blinked, “We’re a team now, aren’t we?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Xiong Ni laughed, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Miss Xiong Ni, are you from the Divine Dao Kingdom?”
Xiong Ni took the candied haws from Ye Xuan’s hand, “No, but I know a bit about this Divine Dao Kingdom you mentioned! The one who founded it, was it Shen Dao Ming?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “I don’t know, I just know people call him Emperor Shen!”
Xiong Ni grinned, “Then it’s probably that guy!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Miss Xiong Ni, you knew Emperor Shen?”
Xiong Ni nodded, “He, Shen Qin, and I come from the same place, he was a remarkable person!”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “You have a grudge with him?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Almost did!”
If Qing’er had really wiped out the Divine Dao Kingdom with one sword, that’d have been a huge grudge! But he wasn’t worried, if they had guts, they could take it up with Qing’er!
Xiong Ni studied Ye Xuan, then said, “That mysterious spacetime in you…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You want it?”
Xiong Ni blinked, “Would you give it to me?”
Ye Xuan met her gaze, “If I don’t, will you take it?”
Xiong Ni stared at him for a moment, then grinned, “No!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Then I won’t give it!”
Xiong Ni smiled, “Let’s go!”
She started walking off.
As Ye Xuan and Xiong Ni stepped out of the narrow path, Xiong Ni glanced back, and in an instant, the small hall behind them burst into flames.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression shifted!
Even the tenth and eleventh layers of spacetime were burning!
Xiong Ni turned to him, “Let’s go!”
As they left the strange spacetime, they spotted the Tianyuan Holy Maiden, beside her stood a man.
Xiong Ni looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Your friend?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Xiong Ni smiled faintly, saying nothing.
The man beside the Tianyuan Holy Maiden suddenly asked, “Are you from the Divine Dao Kingdom?”
Ye Xuan turned to him, “And you are?”
The man smiled, “Fang Lin!”
Ye Xuan sized him up, so this was Fang Lin, the Divine Dao Kingdom’s boss in the City of Ten Thousand Domains!
Fang Lin glanced at Xiong Ni beside Ye Xuan, smiling, “Young Master Ye, this is…?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak, but Xiong Ni chimed in with a laugh, “I’m his little sister!”
Little sister!
Ye Xuan was speechless, another “sister”!
Fang Lin smiled, “Little sister?”
Xiong Ni grinned, “Got a problem with that?”
Fang Lin stared at her, “Miss, you must have come from inside, right?”
Xiong Ni nodded, “Yep!”
Fang Lin and the Tianyuan Holy Maiden exchanged a glance, then Fang Lin turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, you’re impressive, we’ve spent over a decade failing to enter that secret realm, yet you waltz in and go deep inside on your first day, remarkable!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out! No need to beat around the bush!”
Fang Lin laughed, “Young Master Ye, since you’re a straightforward guy, I’ll be direct too! The ruin, we’d like a share of the spoils!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, then looked at Xiong Ni, “She came out of the ruin, if you want a share, talk to her!”
Xiong Ni!
Fang Lin and the Tianyuan Holy Maiden turned to her, their real target was indeed Xiong Ni, someone who’d emerged from the ruin!
Xiong Ni looked at them, smiling, “You want a share?”
A flicker of wariness appeared in their eyes, then Xiong Ni took a step forward, and in an instant, both Fang Lin and the Tianyuan Holy Maiden burst into flames!
Their faces changed drastically, they struggled frantically, but it was useless!
In that moment, they were terrified.
Xiong Ni suddenly turned to Ye Xuan, smiling, “If you plead for them, I’ll spare them!”
Fang Lin and the Tianyuan Holy Maiden quickly looked at Ye Xuan, their eyes full of desperation.
Ye Xuan laughed, “Miss Xiong Ni, whether you kill them or not is your call, what’s it got to do with me? Kill if you want, don’t if you don’t, don’t drag me into it!”
Xiong Ni grinned, “Then I’ll kill them!”
Fang Lin suddenly snarled, “Ye Xuan, if I die here today, the Taiyi Clan won’t let you off!”
“What the hell!”
Ye Xuan couldn’t believe it, “Big bro, get this straight, she’s the one killing you, not me! Are you brain-fried from the fire?”
Fang Lin roared, half-crazed, “You could save us!”
Ye Xuan shot back, “Why the hell should I?”
Fang Lin bellowed, “The Taiyi Clan won’t spare you!”
Then, the Tianyuan Holy Maiden spoke up, “Young Master Ye, if you save me, the Tianyuan Holy Sect will reward you handsomely!”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiong Ni, “This one’s nicer about it, let her go!”
Xiong Ni’s lips curled, “For you, little brother!”
With a flick of her hand, the flames on the Tianyuan Holy Maiden vanished, and she collapsed, limp.
Fang Lin, meanwhile, was dumbfounded.
He tried to speak, but Ye Xuan cut in, “I don’t know the guy!”
Fang Lin: “…”
In an instant, Fang Lin was incinerated to nothing by the mysterious flames.
Ye Xuan turned to the Tianyuan Holy Maiden, now so weak she seemed on the verge of dissipating!
She looked at Ye Xuan, faintly, “Thank you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You said you’d reward me!”
She nodded, “I will!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “I’ll hold you to that!”
He turned to Xiong Ni, “Miss Xiong Ni, where are you headed?”
Xiong Ni licked her candied haws, “Wherever you go, I go!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Xiong Ni laughed, “Exactly what it sounds like!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Miss Xiong Ni, you’re free now, if you want revenge, go after Shen Qin! What’s with following me?”
Xiong Ni smiled, “I’ve been sealed for too long, I need to recover!”
Ye Xuan’s expression sank, “You need to recover, so why follow me? I can’t heal you!”
Xiong Ni licked her candied haws again, grinning, “Why don’t you want me tagging along? I can help you fight!”
Ye Xuan said sternly, “Miss Xiong Ni, I’ve already said it! Your business with Shen Qin, I don’t want to get involved, I don’t care, you’re free now, do what you want, okay?”
Xiong Ni looked at him, smiling, “Nope! I’m sticking with you!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He was getting pissed, he really wanted to stab this girl!
Then, the little tower spoke up, “Young master, this chick’s pretty cocky! But no worries, once we’re out, let her sense Big Sis Destiny with the Qingxuan Sword, she’ll behave! My Big Sis Destiny specializes in taming all kinds of arrogance!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
