Chapter 177 Farewell
Chapter 177 Farewell
Beside the deep blue lake, on the emerald green grass, a man in black was holding a red and blue light in one hand and controlling several gutted fish with the other, hanging them in the air and grilling them.
From time to time, with a flick of his finger, some seasoning would fly out from the bottles and jars around him and automatically spread on the fish.
The roasted fish, which had already turned golden, was so fragrant that the aroma spread all around. Two snake-men from the demon tribe not far away swallowed their saliva when they smelled the fragrance.
Under the shade of a tree, a beautiful woman in a light blue robe was also affected by the fragrance and looked towards the people by the lake.
"Oh, is this the answer you came up with?"
A sweet and pleasant laughter reached the ears of the man grilling fish by the lake.
Xuan Kun raised his eyes and took a deep look at the beautiful woman under the shade of the tree. Their eyes met, and Xueyan's gaze was extremely sharp and aggressive.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Kun transmitted his voice, "Yes, this... is exactly what I was thinking."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to look at the grilled fish in the air.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual consciousness enveloped Xuan Kun. Xuan Kun's expression changed, and the movement of his hands stopped. The flame went out, and the grilled fish in the air, without the drag of spiritual power, fell to the ground.
At this moment, the powerful divine consciousness also enveloped several golden grilled fish and suspended them in the air.
Seeing this scene and feeling this powerful spiritual consciousness, Xuan Kun's own Nascent Soul spiritual consciousness also resisted, but it was like an egg hitting a rock.
He raised his eyes and looked at the woman under the shade of the tree, and felt a chill on his back.
A thought suddenly occurred to me, "Sure enough, my association was correct. She is indeed the same as me, and even more powerful than me."
Xuan Kun already understood that Xueyan, like himself, was a heavy cultivator, the difference was in their cultivation levels.
Xueyan's spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. This kind of spiritual consciousness and pressure is not the first time that Xuan Kun has come into contact with it. This Xueyan's spiritual consciousness is definitely at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
If she had the means to attack with the soul, and her Nascent Soul was not as severely damaged as before, this attack of the Nascent Soul's peak consciousness would probably kill her.
Thinking of this, Xuan Kun thought to himself, "This person is hiding so deeply, no wonder he dares to enter this evil abyss with only the late Jindan cultivation level."
"But when she came here earlier, she was seriously injured. Could it be that she encountered some powerful demon tribe, or was it caused by the horrible environment?"
The two snake people from the demon clan on the other side saw this scene but did not notice anything. They were obviously isolated by Xueyan's spiritual consciousness.
But Dur, who had already broken through the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, the flame cast by Xuan Kun had already been extinguished, and it was impossible not to see it.
Xueyan smiled beautifully and said in a voice transmission, "I have to admire you. Your logical thinking ability is truly remarkable. You were able to figure out my secret through these small details and the nonsense I uttered when I was suffering from my inner demons."
As she spoke, her powerful spiritual sense dissipated and no longer enveloped Xuan Kun. She had already turned back into the smiling, harmless and beautiful woman.
"Xuan Kun, just like you said, there's no hatred between you and me. We don't need to do this. Now that you know about my affairs, please keep it a secret for me!"
Xuan Kun looked at her deeply again, but saw that she was looking at his WeChat and pointing at the golden grilled fish hanging in the air.
The golden grilled fish were still floating in the air at this moment, but suddenly their spiritual consciousness dissipated, and several golden grilled fish fell to the ground again.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun hooked his hand and caught the fallen golden grilled fish again. His expression returned to normal, as if what had just happened had not happened. The flame appeared again and he started grilling the fish again.
After a while, he threw a grilled fish to Xueyan and said to her, "Fairy Xueyan, I understand what you said. I hope you will keep this secret for me. I don't want to die outside the exit of the Shayuan for no apparent reason."
Xueyan took the grilled fish and laughed, "Of course. Let's not talk about anything else. In half a month, we should first cross this evil abyss, reach the exit, and leave here alive."
She took a bite of the golden grilled fish with her rosy and sexy lips, and immediately closed her eyes happily. When she opened them again, her eyes were already shining with golden light.
He gave Xuan Kun a thumbs up and said with a smile, "It's delicious. I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
Xuan Kun also shook his head and laughed, "Just trying to make a living."
The two of them reached a tacit understanding and naturally got along very harmoniously. After all, they were not enemies.
Menalin, the snake person from the demon tribe, swallowed her saliva again when she saw this. They, the demon tribe, did not have the concept of fasting. They usually ate whenever they wanted to, unlike humans who would only prepare food when entertaining guests.
Seeing this, Durr laughed and said, "My fellow Daoist, we will fight together to break out of this evil world. I have just broken through to the eighth level, and with the cultivation level of your human Yuanying, I am also a good fighting force. Now we are all grasshoppers in the same boat, I can still protect you. Can we enjoy this delicious food together?"
Since people said so, Xuan Kun was naturally not a stingy person. He just waved his hand and two grilled fish flew over.
He laughed heartily and said, "My friend is right. We are all in the same boat now, so it's only natural that we should behave this way. I happen to have a few bottles of good wine here, so why don't we drink together?"
As he spoke, several bottles of elixir wine brought from Ziqi City flew out.
Durr took the fragrant golden grilled fish and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, brother, my name is Durr, from the demon tribe of snakemen. I don't know your name, brother."
As he spoke, Dur had already pulled Menalin over and sat opposite Xuan Kun.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun glanced at Xue Yan, who was eating grilled fish alone, and said frankly, "My name is Xuan Kun, a casual cultivator of the human race."
Then he sent a voice message to Xueyan, "Fairy Xueyan, come and have a drink with us."
But then Xueyan said in a voice transmission, "Huh? Why don't you call me Aikun anymore? Are you using your real name? Aren't you afraid that the Yin-Yang Sect waiting outside Shayuan will cause you trouble? Also, forget about drinking, grilled fish is pretty good."
At this time, Xuan Kun and Durr, who was standing opposite them, each held up a bottle of wine. They bumped into each other and took a sip proudly.
The two of them looked like they had met too late and kept talking. Menalin drank and ate meat in small sips, and there was no tension at all like when she first met Xuan Kun.
Xuan Kun chuckled and transmitted his voice again, "Fairy Xueyan is right. I couldn't do anything about it before, but now I want to be myself again, forget my past self, and say goodbye to it!"
"As for the Yin-Yang Divine Sect outside of the Demon Abyss, I am a mere early Nascent Soul cultivator, so I'm afraid they won't be able to take me seriously. The leader of the team is also someone I can't contact, so naturally there won't be any problem."
It can also be regarded as a farewell to Ai Kun, the previous life of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom.
