Xu Han looked at the woman in front of him with a serious expression in a snow-covered withered tree forest thousands of kilometers away from Jinling.
"Are you really Xuan'er?"
"Yes, meow!" A smile appeared in the woman's amber eyes. She nodded at Xu Han playfully and stretched out her hands to look at the posture before she was about to pounce into Xu Han's embrace.
Seeing this, Xu Han was unable to hold back any longer. He hurriedly dodged towards a spot. However, the beautiful woman who had pounced on the sky did not feel the resistance in Xu Han's heart at all. She reluctantly leaned forward again and was about to pounce into Xu Han's embrace.
Xu Han was a little overwhelmed. He hurriedly reached out to stop the woman. He said seriously, "Xuan'er, wait … let me ask you a few things."
"Huh?" The woman blinked her amber eyes. Her seemingly inadvertent movements were extremely cute. Even Xu Han's heart couldn't help but beat faster. After a short moment of doubt, the woman sat up very obediently, revealing her lovely tiger fangs and said, "Alright, meow."
Xu Han touched his forehead and took a deep breath to calm his helplessness.
He looked at the woman and put on a serious expression on his face again. Then, he asked, "Are you Xuan'er or Lu Wu?"
That day, in front of Ya Qi Mountain, he summoned the Black Vermillion Bird refined in Crimson Firmament Sect. Yuan Xiucheng did not break his promise. Afterwards, he took out Lu Wu's true body from Ya Qi Mountain, which had been suppressed under Ya Qi Mountain for tens of thousands of years.
At that time, there was a ball of light shining with a black aura. Xu Han hesitated about Yuan Xiu's character, so he naturally did not dare to believe all of his words. However, Xuan'er showed an unusual enthusiasm and excitement towards the black ball of light.
Xu Han originally wanted to investigate whether there was something strange hidden in the black object, but before he could do so, Xuan'er suddenly jumped up and took it from his hand and swallowed it into his stomach. But after that, Xuan'er did not show any abnormalities, nor did she show the slightest change that Xu Han had imagined.
He hadn't done this in the first eighteen memories that Xu Han had obtained. Of course, he couldn't confirm whether this thing was good or bad for Xuan'er based on his memories. However, after this incident, Xu Han led Xuan'er and Aowu to start their journey again. During this time, they rested on the antler plains for a night. When they woke up, Xuan'er had already disappeared and was replaced by this black-clothed girl who also had a pair of amber eyes.
But strangely enough, Although the woman in black was extremely beautiful, Xu Han could not deny this, but for some unknown reason, she seemed to have a fatal attraction to ordinary mortals, causing chaos everywhere she went. Xu Han asked himself that Xuan'er's appearance was truly beautiful, but it was far from obsessed with those people.
"Xuan'er is Lu Wu, Lu Wu is Xuan'er." At this moment, Xuan'er tilted her head when she heard Xu Han's question. She looked at Xu Han with a puzzled expression, as if she did not understand why Xu Han would ask such a strange question.
Xu Han's head was endlessly large. He supported his forehead and sighed. After pondering for a while, he lowered his head and asked again, "My consciousness is saying, is it Lu Wu's consciousness or Xuan'er's consciousness in your body?"
This question seemed to puzzle the black-clothed woman in front of him. He tilted his head and pouted his lips as he thought for a moment before saying, "Is the Lu Wu Master talking about the Demon Lord Lu Wu?"
Seeing that their conversation was finally on the right track, Xu Han hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Lu Wu."
"He's dead." Xuan'er immediately followed Xu Han's words and casually spat out three words from her mouth.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and he was immediately puzzled, "He's dead? Then you?"
"I am her avatar, but I am not the same person as her. Although our souls come from the same source, I have been separated from her since the moment she transformed me, and that is why she died." Xuan'er calmly responded to Xu Han's question without the slightest trace of anger or sadness. Her gaze towards Xu Han even carried a faint smile that was the same as before.
Xu Han was somewhat unaccustomed to Xuan'er's indifference in this matter. He frowned slightly, but Xuan'er seemed to have seen through his thoughts. She smiled as if a tree was blooming with peach blossoms.
"Master, do you think Xuan'er is too heartless?"
"Actually, although we are not the same person, our souls originate from the same root. In a sense, that Demon Lord Lu Wu and I are actually the same person. She sacrificed herself to create me so that I could walk out of the cage instead of her. As long as I'm alive, she won't die. And I helped her accomplish what she wanted, so it should have been a very happy thing, right? Xuan'er tilted her head and widened her amber eyes as she looked at Xu Han with a smile, as if a child was waiting for her elders to approve of her.
Xu Han was somewhat confused by Xuan'er's logic. However, after confirming that Xuan'er was still his Xuan'er, Xu Han's heart finally relaxed. He couldn't stand Xuan'er's expectant gaze and finally nodded. He said, "Mm … that's the truth."
The smile on Xuan'er's face grew brighter and brighter, and she said, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for Master helping me retrieve my true body, I wouldn't have been completely sober."
Hearing Xuan'er's words of gratitude, Xu Han felt a little guilty in his heart. In his previous eighteen memories, in order to rush to the Great Abyss Mountain, although he remembered this matter in his heart, he did not do it for Xuan'er. Only now did he retrieve Xuan'er's true body for the first time.
However, Xuan'er, who was full of excitement, did not feel what Xu Han was thinking. After she finished speaking, she jumped into Xu Han's embrace. However, Xuan'er was no longer the same size as before. Xu Han had never expected that Xuan'er would push him to the ground when he was caught off guard.
However, Xuan'er still did not realize that she was different from before. She continued to rub her face against Xu Han's side as usual, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
Aowu wagged his tail and squatted to the side. He looked at the two in confusion, as if he didn't understand what they were doing.
Xu Han could not resist Xuan'er's "enthusiasm". After all, she had already transformed into a life and treated her like a cat. Even if Xuan'er did not mind, Xu Han would not be able to overcome this obstacle in his heart.
At that time, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to push Xuan'er away from his body. Immediately after, he stood up and his expression became serious again. He said in a deep voice, "Xuan'er, you are now … well … grown up, you can't be the same as before!"
Xuan'er, who had been pushed away, looked at Xu Han with some grievances and asked with puzzlement, "Why, meow?"
"Cough cough." Xu Han coughed dryly, but his mind was filled with contemplation. He wanted to tell her the truth, but in the end, he could only say in an extremely stereotypical manner, "Men and women don't accept kisses. This is not good."
But after saying that, Xu Han felt that something was wrong. He looked at Xuan'er and added, "Do you understand what this means?"
After all, Xuan'er was only a cat before this. Many words or metaphors from the human world thought that Xu Han might not be able to pay attention to it, so he had this question.
However, Xuan'er nodded decisively at that time, and her eyes widened as she responded, "Of course, I know that men and women can't get too close. Is it disrespectful? It's easy to get gossiped about, right?"
Only then did Xu Han recall that after obtaining Lu Wu's true body, Xuan'er's cultivation had not only greatly increased, but she had also inherited the boundless wisdom that the Demon Lord had accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Naturally, she would be able to understand this. Thinking of this, Xu Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that there was no need to worry that Xuan'er would not be able to adapt to this new identity and cause trouble at that time.
"Since you understand, then" Xu Han was about to conclude the conversation when Xuan'er interrupted him again.
She looked at Xu Han playfully and asked, "But what does that have to do with me? I'm not a woman, I'm a cat!"
Xu Han felt relieved just now, but he was lifted up again at that time. He said bitterly, "But you are a human now."
"But that's my appearance. I'm still a cat." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xuan'er retorted at that time.
Xu Han's expression became even more bitter. He was thinking about how to explain the stakes to Xuan'er, but at that moment, his heart suddenly stirred. Since Xuan'er had inherited the wisdom of the Monster Monarch, he should naturally know Xu Han's worries. However, she deliberately pretended to be puzzled and even suspected of joking.
When Xu Han thought of this, he raised his head and looked at Xuan'er, and his gaze immediately became strange.
Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, Xuan'er subconsciously shrunk her head, and the voice she spat out was also a little smaller at that time, "Master… What am I doing? Did Xuan'er say anything wrong?"
Xuan'er, who had transformed into a human form these past few days, was playing tricks on Xu Han. Not only did this fellow like to rub against Xu Han's body when he had nothing to do, he even shouted that he wanted to sleep with Xu Han at night, causing Xu Han to feel very embarrassed. Now that he understood, how could Xu Han spare Xuan'er? The look in his eyes became harsh, as if he was preparing to educate the father of his own ignorant child. He asked in a calm voice, "Speak! Did you do it on purpose?"
"What did you do on purpose?" At this time, Xuan'er still wanted to muddle through, so she asked innocently.
However, even though she had transformed into a human form, how could her guilty expression, exposed by others, be concealed from Xu Han? After hearing this, Xu Han's gaze became even colder. Under such a gaze, Xuan'er knew that she had nowhere to hide, so she could only lower her head and admit in a low voice, "Yes."
Xu Han was instantly enraged and scolded, "Xuan'er, why are you so disobedient? Can you play such a joke randomly?"
Unexpectedly, Xuan'er raised her head and looked straight at Xu Han, saying, "I'm not joking!"
"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned, but Jian Xuan'er's voice sounded again.
Xuan'er's face was completely red, but her gaze was incomparably firm as she said, "I want to be with you!"
"Stay with you like that woman in red!!!"
