High above, the Goddess of Life who had temporarily closed her eyes opened them again.
"He got it?" She asked Shen Lianxiang.
The latter's eyes blinked as if showing her mind that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Goddess could have seen it herself, but she didn't, instead asking her instead.
"Yes!" Shen Lianxiang nodded lightly.
"He and the silver-haired woman teamed up, the latter in charge of blocking the others while he took the Sacred Tree Branch. Shen Mu, Shen Mao, and Night Devil were unable to stop him."
"They really are useless, maybe I need to punish them later," said the Goddess with a displeased expression.
Thinking that her emotions needed to be calmed down, Shen Lianxiang finally poured some wine into her already empty cup.
She drank it directly and her eyes moved up. They glowed, looking so beautiful they could kill any man.
Shen Lianxiang followed her gaze.
Their eyes sometimes move north, west, south, and east.
"This is almost done, Goddess. Soon after that your strength will return to its peak," she said.
"Mmm!" The Goddess smiled faintly, there was desire in her eyes, a desire to quickly regain her strength.
"Sacred Tree Realm, you were beautiful in the past, but it's a shame, you also couldn't survive destruction. However, rather than crumbling with time, it's better for you to become a part of this esteemed me," she said.
She stood up, stretched her shapely body before walking towards a room.
"I want to rest first, wake me up when everything is ready," she said again.

When Qin Yuan arrived near the Goddess of Ice, the woman suddenly coughed, she held her stomach as if there was an injury there. When her aura disappeared, she even almost fell, but was stopped by Qin Yuan. He grabbed her waist in a swift motion.
"You are okay?" he asked.
Hugged once more by him, the Goddess of Ice's face turned red.
"Let me go!" She replied, hitting his stomach but because there was no strength, it did not affect Qin Yuan.
"Relax, let me heal you first," Qin Yuan replied.
He opened a portal to the Hidden Heaven. It appeared so clearly beside him that all eyes were on the portal.
Even Xi Nichang widened her eyes.
Qin Yuan stepped into the portal while carrying the Goddess of Ice.
However, before his body completely disappeared into the portal, he glanced at Xi Nichang.
"Come in if you want to come," he said.
Even though there were some conflicts between them, their relationship was clear, so he didn't mind bringing it up. It also wouldn't threaten her since her strength was only at his level. The only one that was truly threatening right now was only the Immortal Realm.
Qin Yuan disappeared after he said that while the portal was shrinking quite slowly.
Xi Nichang was a bit doubtful, but her eyes showed that she was very curious about the inside of Hidden Heaven.
This was something she had truly never seen, not even her master.
Although somewhat hesitant, she still stepped into the portal in the end.
On the other hand, the Goddess of Ice was still trying to get away from Qin Yuan. She said, "hand over my share and send me back to the Divine Light Realm, I can heal myself."
The sight of the white-haired beauty as she tried to escape made Xi Nichang's expression strange.
Here, they were practically old people, even in appearance, they looked to be in their early 30s. Therefore, such behavior can be said to be inappropriate. And to think that she herself also acted like that made her a bit embarrassed.
Qin Yuan naturally did not let go of the Goddess of Ice. He replied, "You will not be safe until you are fully recovered!"
After he said that, a green light radiated from his body, entering the Goddess' body.
Her extremely pale skin started to brighten again.
Such a quick recovery shocked Xi Nichang, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes, observing the green light on Qin Yuan's body.
"What's this?" She said spontaneously.
Qin Yuan glanced at her, smiled slightly but did not answer.
He looked again at the Goddess of Ice who, though calmed down, had an irritated expression.
"Ah, could it be that you don't like my light entering your body? Yes, however, this can be considered as indirect intercourse," he said with an expression of holding back laughter.
Xi Nichang probably didn't understand the indirect meaning here because it was an eath term, from Japan to be precise.
The Goddess of Ice who understood that blushed for a moment before becoming angry.
"Bastard!" She said.
She hit Qin Yuan's chest. This time, her punch already had power. Even though it didn't affect Qin Yuan's body, it still generated quite a violent shockwave.
Qin Yuan chose to let go of her body and she immediately jumped four steps back, looking to keep her distance from him.
"Hand over the branch!" She said coldly.
Seeing her expression, Qin Yuan thought that it was not yet time for this woman to be his woman.
Her resistance is really the strongest of all women.
Qin Yuan then took out the branch again. It appeared in his hand. Since this was his first time touching it so far, he was quite surprised when he felt energy filled with pure laws flowing into his body.
"Totally unexpected," he said.
Xi Nichang drew closer, staring at the branch with shining eyes.
On the other hand, even though the Goddess of Ice was not approaching, her Heavenly Eyes were active.
"Sacred Tree Branch, so you've wandered into the Sacred Tree Realm?" Hei Hou's voice suddenly appeared.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but stare down.
"Are you panicking now?" he asked.
This time, no answer came, the man suddenly fell silent, perhaps he was panicking.
At the same time, Xi Nichang looked surprised.
"He's from the Hell?" She asked.
Qin Yuan nodded.
"No wonder, I think I've heard rumors that the Hidden Heaven is in the Hell, what exactly is going on?" She looked like she wanted to know more.
Qin Yuan did not answer.
Explaining this is pointless.
Considering the Immortals knew that he held the Hidden Heaven, they could probably guess what happened to Hell.
However, why didn't they do something about it. It was obvious because none of them were willing to come to the Divine World.
It was not a safe place in the end, Heaven Strike could come at any moment or the Heavenly Palace Master would not leave there because it was his home.
Qin Yuan then cut the branch, which was surprisingly easy. He just used his hands.
A bit of aura gushed out from each branch, but it was only a split second before they calmed down again.
"Take this!" Qin Yuan threw one of them at the Goddess of Ice.
The latter directly deposited it into her Artifact.
After that, she stepped into the portal to the Divine Light Realm.
Qin Yuan did not block her, he let her go.
After the Goddess of Ice left, Qin Yuan looked at Xi Nichang.
Their gazes met and the result was slightly different from usual because it was just them here.
Xi Nichang became awkward, she looked like she wanted to avert her eyes but probably thought it was inappropriate.
Whoosh!
Fortunately, Qin Yuan took out a table with two chairs.
"Come sit, maybe we need to talk," he said as he sat down.
He also took out two cups and a rare bottle of wine.
Xi Nichang hesitated for a moment before taking a seat. She seemed to take a deep breath to calm herself down.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked, something she clearly knew but feigned ignorance.
Despite knowing her thoughts, Qin Yuan still replied, "About our relationship, of course."
Hearing that, Xi Nichang looked down for a moment before looking at Qin Yuan again.
"Our relationship is because of your master, but my question is how much do you accept it? Doubts and objections are natural since we are also just getting to know each other, what I want to know is whether you will regret it in the future?"
"What is there to regret?" Xi Nichang replied curtly.
"I take it as your true thoughts, I only care about the answers that come out of your mouth," said Qin Yuan.
"You." Xi Nichang was annoyed.
"Well, that's why you have to be honest."
"This is indeed my honest answer, i never regret," whe replied.
"Oh!" Qin Yuan held his chin.
"Then what do you think of me?" he asked again.
"In what part?" Xi Nichang asked back and subconsciously looked into his eyes for a moment.
"Everything, of course!"
Xi Nichang was silent and when she answered, sge didn't answer his question. "That's not important, it doesn't need to be discussed, the important thing is that I accept you, isn't that enough," she said.
"How much accept?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I hug you now, kiss you, or even more than that, will you let me do all of that?"
Xi Nichang, ".."
