Chapter 412 - The Unknown Soul

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression at the moment, Su Lianyue was even more shocked. She tried to guide him patiently. “Let’s keep it cool… Let’s get up then talk about this, okay? I won’t plant insects in you anymore; really, I will never do it again…”

“No!” Xiao Chen was half-sane at the moment and pretending to be fierce. “If you do something wrong, you will be punished! Anyway, there is no one here, and you and I probably can’t get out, so why not…”

Su Lianyue became more and more scared and was about to cry. Suddenly she snorted softly and her face turned redder. Xiao Chen’s knee had accidentally touched her sensitive area between her legs.

This soft sound was even more incredible in the ear. Xiao Chen felt dizzier and dizzier and a raging fire in his heart instantly burst into flames.

Su Lianyue saw the look in his eyes was getting more and more frantic, and his hands were getting more forceful. Knowing that he was not in the right mind at this moment, she panicked said in a hurry, “Calm down! Listen! There’s a sound, I can feel it… There is a strong presence not far away! It is Red Sleeve! It is Red Sleeve…”

Xiao Chen didn’t care about what she said at all. Seeing her panicked at the moment, it was even harder to control that impulse which he never had.

Su Lianyue’s breathing was getting more rapid, but her True Energy was unable to pick up quickly. She tried to calm herself and talk him out again, “Don’t be impulsive. We are really in danger now… If we do that now, how bad will that be if someone barged in… ”

Seeing Xiao Chen finally cooled down, she continued to say, “Wait till the night comes okay? If you want, we will do it at night… Calm down… Relax… We’ll do whatever you want at night, anyway, sooner or later I’ll be yours… Okay…?” While saying, she was trying to bring up her True Energy.

“No!” Xiao Chen yelled and pounced on her like a beast. But at this moment, two lines of tears suddenly fell off ‘the corner of Su Lianyue’s eyes, which made Xiao Chen stupefied.

“I don’t want to. If you do it forcefully, it will only make me hate you forever, and I will kill you when we get out! If you want to do it, then do it!” After she was done, Su Lianyue closed her eyes and could not care. The tears fell off and she tilted her head away.

“Uh…” Xiao Chen finally cooled down. He did not expect to scare her into tears. He immediately got up from her and coughed. “I… I was just scaring you; okay, don’t cry.”

Su Lianyue was still sobbing softly. Snorting, she sucked her nose, and quickly got up to wear her clothes properly. She glared at him and said, “Don’t you dare to fool around again, or else! At the most, both of us won’t get out of here.”

It hit his soft spot when Xiao Chen saw that her eyes and nose were red and looked rather pitiful. He felt how ridiculous it was of what he did and whispered, “I was just angry at you for not saying. You knew that there was poisonous insect in the pill and you didn’t even say anything last night. We’re even now, okay…”

After speaking, Xiao Chen looked up again and looked at the sky. At this time, it was still early, but he had to restore his skills as soon as possible. Although on the surface this mystic domain seemed peaceful, it was not necessarily safe. Thinking of that, he put on clothes immediately, closed his eyes and meditated.

Su Lianyue also recovered a bit of her True Energy. After a while, she saw Xiao Chen sitting motionless and remembered about what happened just now, and she was very angry again. As the Lord of the Blue-water Altar, no one could be frivolous towards her, not even Xiao Chen!

She was even forced to say those embarrassing words. When she thought of this, she felt even angrier. A cold light flashed in her eyes, her palms turned, and a sharp purple blade was hidden within. She slowly approached Xiao Chen from behind.

“Swoosh!” The purple blade flew out of her hand, and there was a splash of blood. Xiao Chen opened his eyes suddenly and saw a giant snake with a large flower prints was beheaded ten feet’s distance in front of him, and the blood was flowing out.

“Fairy, you…” Xiao Chen immediately turned around and saw Su Lianyue’s face as cold as frost with a hint of murderousness at the moment. Why did he feel that that slash just now was meant for him?

“Uh, thank you…”

“Humph!” Su Lianyue snorted coldly, then took off the Fire-heart Jade from her neck and threw it to him. “There, I’ll give it back to you.”

Xiao Chen caught the Fire-heart Jade and chuckled. But for some reasons, he felt coldness on his back. He was concentrating on his meditation and was not on his guard just now. If… If Su Lianyue was slashing at him, he was probably the one that was dead and not that snake.

“Humph, beauty is like a blade. The more beautiful the woman is, the sharper the blade is. Mister Xiao better remember this, in case you don’t even know how you die while indulging in a woman’s beauty someday.” Su Lianyue tilted her head and sneered.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, wasn’t this what he said to the fox demon previously?

At this moment, there was a sudden soul fluctuation in the distance. It seemed to be a Soul power that did not disappear for thousands of years. It was very powerful. Xiao Chen looked up and immediately stood up and blocked in front of Su Lianyue. Su Lianyue was alarmed too, and she whispered, “That was…”

“Shh! Don’t talk!” Xiao Chen made a shush gesture. His ability to detect soul frequencies was strong, far better than Su Lianyue. So whatever he could feel is deeper than Su Lianyue. That soul fluctuation only appeared for a second, but his intuition told him that it was a very powerful existence, at least for thousands of years, and the other party should have found them as well.

If they follow the directions in this mystic domain, the sunrise in the east, then the Soul power just came from the far west. They never imagined that this seemingly peaceful place hid such unknown danger. Su Lianyue seemed a little nervous. She subconsciously grasped the sleeves on his shoulders gently and asked, “What’s that?”

Xiao Chen turned his head and whispered, “I don’t know, but you and I should recover our skills as soon as possible.” After that, with a wave of his sleeve, he put out the fire on the ground and said, “Go, let’s leave here.”

After speaking, the two immediately walked in the opposite direction of that Soul power. The state of the two at the moment would make it extremely difficult to defeat that unknown existence. The farther they were, the better.

Finally, near noon, the two had hurriedly left 50 kilometers away, and their skills had also recovered by half. Su Lianyue whispered and asked, “Could it be Red Sleeve?”

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “No, if Red Sleeve is born of Malicious Grudge, then it should be a kind of Walking Corpse, and it shouldn’t have a soul. But what I felt just now was a very powerful soul. Anyway, no matter what, I think it must have something to do with Red Sleeve. You and I must be careful and recover our skills as soon as possible. ”

“Okay.” Su Lianyue nodded, and this time, she seemed to become more obedient.

Xiao Chen looked at her and seemed to feel a little unexpected. Su Lianyue also looked at him, remembering what happened in the morning and turned her head away as she humphed.

“Uh… Let’s go and rest in front.”

Not far away was a small fruit grove in a shady environment with a gurgling stream passing through. The two walked in, Su Lianyue found a clean place to sit down and hugged her knees, and her thin brows frowned slightly. She thought of the incident in the morning and those words she said and suddenly felt embarrassed, annoyed, and angry, and a little aggrieved. As she thought about it, her nose felt sore and she felt like crying again.

Xiao Chen saw the look on her face and felt even guiltier. She did remove the insects for him instantly and that already meant she was not intending to harm him anymore. Besides, she was a woman after all, and he bullied her like that. It was too much.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt incredibly guilty, he coughed, walked under a tree and picked two fresh fruits. Then he washed them by the stream before walking back and handing one of the fruits to Su Lianyue. “Here.”

Su Lianyue raised her head and gave him a side-eye glance, and humphed. “One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions! Humph!” Then she tilted her head back.

“Uh…” Xiao Chen walked next to her and sat down. He put the fruit in her hand and Su Lianyue glared at him, saying, “Stay away from me! From now on, don’t come near me within five feet’s distance!”

“Uh…” Xiao Chen moved to the side a little, wiped the corners of his mouth after eating the fruit in his hand, and said, “This place is unusual. How can there be such a mystic domain in the Miasma Mountain Range?”

Su Lianyue glanced at him sideways, and said monotonously, “Oh, then what do you suggest we do?”

“A binding. This mystic domain is bound by a strong resentment.” When speaking, Xiao Chen’s eyes did not blink and his expression was very stern. Su Lianyue turned her head as well and asked seriously, “You meant Red Sleeve?”

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know if it’s Red Sleeve, but it must be related to her, and the people in the Corpse Refinery Sect may not be all deceived like what Yu Yangzi said. Maybe someone has been helping Red Sleeve…”

After speaking, the two fell into silence together and they were deep in thoughts for a long time. Su Lianyue said, “Have you noticed something?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you sense anything at all? Since the moment we sneaked into the Corpse Refinery Sect, don’t you feel that everything was going too well?”

Xiao Chen looked intently and said, “You meant someone was helping in secret!”

Su Lianyue lowered her head and seemed to be in deep thought again. After a long while, he said, “I’m unsure if there’s someone helping. But that person named Shen Qing was rather strange.”

Xiao Chen frowned. After hearing what she said, it rose some questions in him as well. Before that, he always felt that Shen Qing was strange. For some reason, he always felt that he was very much like a person. Those eyes…

“Moxuan Zi!” Xiao Chen suddenly exclaimed, at this moment he finally remembered it. That look in his eyes belonged to Moxuan Zi, one of Jade Qing Seven. No matter how skillful one’s Magic Mimicry could be, there would be traces in the eyes, so that Shen Qing was Moxuan Zi!

Su Lianyue was also taken aback and did not believe it, saying, “You’re saying… that Shen Qing is Moxuan Zi, one of the Jade Qing Seven?”

Xiao Chen nodded. When he left Jade Qing Sect and went to Middle Continent, Moxuan Zi even gifted a magic treasure to him. The Bagua Mirror of the Cosmos. Within the Jade Qing Seven, all of them were unfathomable, especially when the Annihilation Times arrived. Everyone had reached Nirvana Realm. But there was one thing that he was still uncertain about and was still a little afraid to think about it.

Su Lianyue narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured to herself, “Moxuan Zi… Moxuan Zi is the only one among the Jade Qing Seven who has become an Immortal…”

Near the end, she suddenly took a deep breath and raised her head, her face full of horror. She exclaimed, “Could it! Could it be Moxuan Zi! Could he!”
