Chapter 36 : The Second Female Lead Appears?

“Ye Xuan brother, you misunderstand, I... I saw the spiritual Qi fluctuating and was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check. It wasn’t intentional, believe me, please!” Seeing Ye Xuan showing a look of disgust, Yu Ling’er was completely embarrassed. She hurriedly tried to explain herself to Ye Xuan.

“...” Ye Xuan looked at the fairy-like girl in front of him, who was awkwardly trying to explain her behavior while her eyes couldn’t help but glance over his body. Her words didn’t seem convincing at all. Wasn’t it more appropriate if their roles were reversed in this scenario?

“How much longer do you plan to look?” Finally, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but remind Yu Ling’er.Cheeck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“Ah, I... I didn’t mean to—!!!” Shouting this, Yu Ling’er ran away in embarrassment. She was mortified, convinced that he had misunderstood her; she wasn’t really looking at his body, or so she kept telling herself. Internally she debated if calling someone much younger her “brother” was also somewhat shameless.

However, more importantly, how could Ye Xuan have entered the cultivation state so quickly and achieved Qi Gathering in less than half an hour? This was truly inconceivable. Thinking this, Yu Ling’er cautiously glanced back at the spiritual spring. There she saw Ye Xuan walking away from the spring, still looking disgusted.

“Oh no, he must think I’m one of those indecent women who peep at men bathing. I’m innocent, I had no intention of peeking...”

“Ye Xuan brother,” Yu Ling’er, ignoring Ye Xuan’s displeased look, excitedly said, “How did you do it? I only recited the Taihua Heart Method once, and you’ve already managed to gather Qi!”

Speaking, Yu Ling’er moved closer to Ye Xuan, looking earnestly into his eyes. The eyes are windows to the soul, she thought, determined to let him see her sincerity.

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s demeanor, Ye Xuan involuntarily averted his gaze. He was somewhat uneasy, his acting skills not being top-notch. If Yu Ling’er detected anything amiss, it would be problematic. Therefore, he avoided making eye contact with her.

“Oh~” Noticing Ye Xuan’s reluctance to meet her gaze, Yu Ling’er secretly rejoiced. He’s avoiding my eyes, she thought gleefully, he must really like me.

As Yu Ling’er escorted Ye Xuan back to their residence at Qingyan Peak, a figure stood aloft in the air, silently observing Ye Xuan below. This figure was clad in white, with a cold demeanor, black hair cascading down her back, and a tall, stunningly beautiful appearance. Yet, her face bore an eternal chill, like millennia-old ice, emitting an icy aura despite her lack of expression.

“I’ve been pondering whether I was mistaken. Even if Ye Xuan truly reincarnated, he should be someone with extraordinary cultivation talent, not lacking spiritual roots... The same name and appearance seem too coincidental. I didn’t expect to uncover such a surprise upon deciding to take a closer look. That speed of cultivation can only be attributed to Heavenly Spiritual Roots — I’ve finally found you, Ye Xuan!”

As she thought this, a look of hatred crossed her face. “In this life, I won’t let you off easily,” she vowed. Her already icy demeanor turned even more chilling, as if plunging one into the depths of a frozen hell.

Just then, a notification from the system echoed in Ye Xuan’s mind: “Congratulations, host. The system has detected the second female lead. She is harboring strong murderous intent towards the host. Please exercise caution in your actions—!!”

Ye Xuan: ???!!!
