Chapter 176 Xueyan's Secret
Chapter 176 Xueyan's Secret
Xueyan smiled, her pretty face like a blooming flower, but her tone was extremely calm and normal.
"It's just a Nascent Soul. You know, in my Ice and Snow Spiritual Court, a Nascent Soul is just an ordinary elder. There's nothing to congratulate."
Seeing Xuan Kun's embarrassed expression, she immediately smiled and changed her tone, "Thank you very much, though. Judging from your cultivation level, you should be close to the peak of the Core Formation stage, and you can return to the Nascent Soul stage by then."
After hearing what she said before, Xuan Kun smiled slightly on his embarrassed face, embarrassed but polite, but as soon as the next sentence came out.
The smile on Xuan Kun's face froze instantly, and he thought to himself, "She knew my secret. When did it happen? Or did she already know everything about me?"
Xuan Kun immediately sent a cautious and tentative voice message, "Fairy Xueyan, what are you saying? Are you congratulating me in advance on my impending breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, reaching the peak of the Core Formation stage?"
Looking at Xueyan's beautiful and bright eyes, Xuan Kun felt uneasy. At this moment, Xueyan had just reached the Nascent Soul stage. Although he was not afraid of her, he was definitely not her opponent.
I can only run away. If she is really the same as me, a cultivator of re-cultivation, I will definitely not be her match.
At this moment, he was in the Evil Abyss and had no way to escape. Even if he got out of the Evil Abyss, there was Qingtianyi, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, outside.
If he went against the Ice and Snow Spirit Court, he would either die in the Evil Abyss or die at the entrance to the Evil Abyss world. If he was lucky enough to escape from Xueyan's hands, he would have to stay in the Evil Abyss world.
Waiting for it to open again after three hundred years, if no one recognizes me then, I may have a chance to survive, but if I really stay here, after three hundred years of wind, frost, snow and rain, I might die here.
Xueyan smiled and transmitted her voice, "Given Fellow Daoist Aikun's cautious nature, you must have heard my slips of the tongue when I was troubled by my inner demons. You must also know my secret. I don't believe that with your logical ability, you can't make the connection."
After hearing this, Xuan Kun nodded with a wry smile. If he wanted to get out, he obviously had no choice but to admit it.
"Yes, Fairy Xueyan did speak out of turn at that time, and I did associate some of her affairs with the details."
Having said that, Xuan Kun paused, looked into Xue Yan's eyes, and asked seriously, "When did you...know my secret, and how much do you know?"
Xueyan remained as calm as ever, calmly transmitting her voice, "Since... I invited you into the Shayuan, I've been investigating you. After all, I wouldn't trust someone with a murky past to be my teammate."
"You said so, right! [Xuan Kun]!"
When he heard this name, Xuan Kun's expression finally changed. It was obvious that he was being investigated thoroughly again.
He smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that after nearly nineteen years, my background would still be discovered. The intelligence system of the Ice and Snow Spirit Court is really powerful."
"But I have no connection or hatred with the Ice and Snow Spirit Court or even the Righteous Alliance. I only have some connections with the Demonic Yin-Yang Divine Sect. I hope the Ice and Snow Spirit Court will not sell me out to the Demonic Sect!"
The woman opposite smiled and said, "Of course not. Even if you have connections with other righteous sects, what does it have to do with my Ice and Snow Spiritual Court? My Ice and Snow Spiritual Court has always been neutral."
After hearing this, Xuan Kun's body, which had been holding on tightly, relaxed, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Xuan Kun uttered "thank you" and walked to the side, sitting on a piece of bluestone without saying anything else.
After seeing the two men chatting for a while, the two demon snake people confronted each other without saying a word, which was very strange. In the end, the situation ended with Xuan Kun leaving.
Menalin asked her lover in confusion, "Duel, what's going on with them? After congratulating each other, they actually started to confront each other. And why did the human man walk away in the end? I remember them being together, weren't they? Did they have a conflict?"
Seeing Menalin's puzzled eyes, Dur also replied, "Um... this... I don't quite understand. Maybe... this is the difference between us demons and humans!"
After Durr finished speaking, he whispered, "Maybe they were whispering to each other, not wanting us to hear, and that's why they ended up having a conflict."
Hearing this, Menalin's eyes lit up, and she also said in a voice transmission, "Oh! Dur, you're right. You are indeed the man I like. You really have an IQ online."
In her heart, she chuckled, "Hehe, I'm pretty good at complimenting my man. Mother is right, boys are the easiest to coax."
Durr was also embarrassed and didn't know where to put his hands. In the end, he held his beloved's waist with one hand and touched his head with the other.
He laughed and said, "Of course! Haha..."
I was also happy in my heart and said, "My father is right. Girls are the cutest. My wife is happy, and the whole family is happy."
Looking at the two snake-men opposite him, Xuan Kun was embarrassed again, thinking, "What is this? It's so funny."
Even Xueyan couldn't help but be attracted by their laughter and felt confused.
Then he said loudly, "The Evil Pool has just been closed, and the exit back will open in a month. It's dangerous outside the oasis, so we will wait here for half a month before setting off."
Xuan Kun and the two demons nodded after hearing this.
Seeing this, Xueyan chose a shady place under a big tree, looked at the lake in the distance, and sent a message to Xuankun again.
"Xuan Kun, what secret of mine have you figured out? Could you please spare some time and tell me about it?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Kun no longer concealed his consciousness. He sensed Xue Yan with his Nascent Soul consciousness and discovered that she was looking into the lake.
He stood up and walked towards the lake while transmitting the message.
"At the beginning, you and Qing Tianyi, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, were surprisingly close. Although I don't know what you are talking about, you two should not be in a master-disciple relationship. It's very likely that you are in a senior sister-junior sister relationship."
Xuan Kun walked to the edge of the lake and cast a spell. Immediately, several medium-sized mortal fish flew up and transmitted the message again.
"When you were fighting your inner demon, you spoke of something related to breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage. Considering the sealed power within you, it must have been done by a Divine Transformation cultivator. And not just any Divine Transformation cultivator, but perhaps a mid-stage or even late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator."
Xuan Kun carefully examined the fish in his hand and found no trace of the curse. He then recalled that after Lang Chen restored the evil pool, he said before he disappeared that the oasis was extremely safe, so he thought the curse had probably been eliminated.
He took out various seasonings from the storage bag, exerted a little spiritual power, and flames appeared. He used fire control techniques to start grilling the fish.
"Just now, you broke through the Nascent Soul stage and faced the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation without any concern. It's obvious that you have experienced stronger thunder tribulations."
"The inner demon's words are related to the breakthrough to the Divine Transformation. I think it is the breakthrough to the Divine Transformation... the Divine Transformation Thunder Tribulation."
