Chapter 49

On this day, gray clouds cast down upon Mortal Desolate. Rumbling thunders roared from above and the frequent flashes of lightning lit up the dark, gloomy sky. Droplets of water briefly sprinkled from the heavens before heavily showering the land.

The chaos of the storm was accompanied by a sudden explosion that came from the ocean.

Xia Lihua flew out and appeared in the sky.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

With the addition of her appearance, it created an odd contrast to the environment.

The howling wind was blowing at incredible speed and it created a constant stream of violent waves in the ocean but her long hair and white dress remained still and dry.

Xia Lihuas body was enveloped in a paper-thin silver mist so whenever the rain gets near her, it would simply dissipate.

She wasnt bothered by the bad weather. She quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for a certain individual. Her ever-so-radiant silver eyes appeared even brighter than usual in these bleak conditions.

It didnt take her long to find that person.

Just a few kilometers away was Ji Xian.

Her eyebrows faintly raised upon seeing him.

Ji Xian was actually waiting for her.

She wasnt expecting this, not after seeing how much of a rush he was in to leave earlier just to avoid a conversation.

Xia Lihua arrived in front of Ji Xian and carefully examined him.

His head was lifted up at the sky while both of his eyes were closed. Without any Essence protecting him, he was drenched from head to toe from the rain.

Seeing Ji Xian like this, Xia Lihua instantly became worried, afraid that he mightve been injured. She was just about to speak but suddenly noticed his eyes, that was hidden behind his wet hair, were slightly curved upwards. Along with the relaxed aura he was emanating, she has an idea of what was going on.

She reaches out and grabs the veil covering his face and gently pulled it off to reveal his curved lips.

Ji Xian was smilling. He looked so content and peaceful that it left Xia Lihua in a daze.

At this moment, his appearance reminded her of a child, always so immersed in life and having so much curiosity for the world. She was like that once, but with so many responsibilities on her shoulders, she quickly matured and ended up putting more emphasis on cultivation.

With a smile on her face, Xia Lihua brushed back Ji Xians hair. Upon seeing that familiar face once more, she became infected by his mood.

She imitated his posture before dispelling the Astral Essence covering her body.

As she feels the gentle taps of the cold rain on her skin, along with the pitter-patter sound from all around, her mind calmed. Whatever uncertainties she may have before, disappeared. The Mortal Haven World, invasions, Celestial race, the Mortal Desolate World, none of it matters at this moment.

Her lips curved into a beautiful smile that showed her pearly white teeth as she was reminded of simpler times.

Everything turned black and she felt Ji Xian move away.

She opened her eyes and stared at him with mixed emotions. From what she saw, she now has a better understanding of what kind of person he is but she wasnt sure about how to feel about it.

What did you think? Ji Xian smiled indifferently.

He had no qualms about showing her everything that happened in the Formatic. Other than the simulation, he has nothing to hide.

Your strength how have you not been forced to ascend yet? Xia Lihua puzzlingly asked, You lost control and invoked the Will of the Universe. Are you already a Saint?

Ji Xian shook his head, I dont quite follow the traditional cultivation system that youre familiar with, so I wouldnt say Im in that realm. As for how Im able to remain in the Lower World, its thanks to this

A golden strand emerged from his body. It gave off a divine and holy aura. The moment it appeared, it looked like it wanted to break free from some kind of restraint but Ji Xian quickly brought it back into his body.

Thats Xia Lihua had a serious expression, Thats Heavenly Merit.

Ji Xian nodded, The method I taught you to evolve your Internal World, once you progress to a certain point, Ill need to teach you how to use this Merit Art.

I see Xia Lihua didnt quite understand, but for now, she was satisfied.

The Graha race She recalled Yahui and Yazhu, Their appearance is similar to-

Yes, they do. Ji Xian interrupted.

I wonder if theres a connection between them.

Who knows? I didnt ask.

Xia Lihua silently contemplated for a minute before her eyes flashed, The reason you didnt bring it up, its because the Mortal Desolate World has never been invaded. If you had mentioned them, those two brothers wouldve found something suspicious and theres a chance they might find out our origins.

That is if theyre somehow related.

Ji Xian nodded, There are no benefits in knowing.

But you can just kill them after you asked.

Thats pretty extreme

You say that when you did all those terrible things to them?

Yes, but that was for research purposes. Besides, they attacked me first. What I did is, therefore, justified.

Youre an idiot.
