Chapter 164: Zi Yan's Embarrassment! Raid on the Human Hall!

"Auntie! Auntie! Auntie!"

Xiao Xianle called out three times in a row.

"Good girl! Auntie has something delicious for you!"

As Xiao Xianle's childish voice rang out, Zi Yan felt incredibly comforted.

Her eyes were filled with smiles.

"Oh no, I was too happy just now and didn't notice Brother Gu Fei coming over!"

Suddenly, Zi Yan's expression froze, because she sensed Gu Fei's aura approaching.

She did not turn around, walking straight toward the Bamboo Building instead, pretending she hadn't noticed Gu Fei.

"Zi Yan..."

However, before she had even taken two steps, Gu Fei's voice rang out beside her ear.

"Oh, it's Brother Gu Fei... Aren't you in seclusion refining a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill? Why did you come out so soon? Did you fail?"

Zi Yan turned around, squeezing a smile onto her exquisite face to hide her embarrassment, and she also pretended as if she had only just discovered Gu Fei.

"Daddy! Hug!"

Xiao Xianle threw herself directly into Gu Fei's arms, and Gu Fei took the opportunity to lift her small frame up.

【Zi Yan is experiencing severe embarrassment, Emotion Value +100 points】

"This time, the alchemy did indeed fail!"

Gu Fei possessed the Emotion System, so Zi Yan's various emotional changes naturally could not be hidden from him.

However, Gu Fei did not expose her.

"What a pity, that must have wasted a lot of medicinal herbs!" Zi Yan said, following Gu Fei's lead with a look of relief.

"Yeah, Daddy, you're so wasteful!"

In Gu Fei's arms, Xiao Xianle chimed in at the right moment, and this childish voice made Zi Yan's embarrassment subside significantly once again.

"Is that so? Then are these a waste too?"

Listening to the back-and-forth between Zi Yan and the little one, Gu Fei smiled and extended his hand; in his palm was a large handful of Sugar Pills made from medicinal herbs.

"Wow, so many Sugar Pills!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly shook her head: "How could Brother Gu Fei be wasteful? Things like this, you can make a lot more!"

After saying this, Zi Yan immediately reached out and grabbed all the Sugar Pills in Gu Fei's palm, stuffing a few into her mouth as if swallowing them whole.

Although Zi Yan's behavior was the same as before, because she had grown up, the temperament she displayed was completely different.

Before, she was exquisite and cute, like a porcelain doll, and every move she made could make people laugh involuntarily, but now, what she displayed was a kind of playful beauty.

"I want to eat Sugar Pills too, Auntie Zi Yan, share some with me!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xianle also waved her little hands, unable to resist the temptation.

"Alright, alright, I'll share, I'll share!!"

However, the moment the little one spoke, Zi Yan panicked instantly, and she quickly moved the Sugar Pills in her hand toward Xiao Xianle's small hands.

But perhaps because she was nervous, all the Sugar Pills spilled out and fell toward the ground.

"Oh no, why did they fall!"

With a thought from Zi Yan, those Sugar Pills hovered in mid-air, no longer falling.

At this moment, Zi Yan's eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to look into Gu Fei's eyes at all.

"There's enough for everyone, Daddy refined a lot this time!" Gu Fei said, taking out a dozen more jade bottles, all filled with Sugar Pills.

"He just heard Xiao Xianle call me Auntie, and he didn't react at all?"

"This is too strange!"

While Zi Yan felt relieved in her heart, she was also slightly puzzled, looking at Gu Fei with suspicion.

He had never taken the initiative to give her so many Sugar Pills before; why today?

"Brother Gu Fei, you wouldn't happen to have something you need my help with, would you?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zi Yan's mouth, and her bright eyes seemed to pierce through Gu Fei's inner thoughts.

"Haha... I can't hide anything from you!"

Gu Fei nodded frankly.

"Haha, seeing as you are so sincere, I'll agree to it!"

Zi Yan gave a playful smile, then accepted all the jade bottles Gu Fei handed over.

As for what exactly Gu Fei needed her help with, she didn't care at all, because no matter what Gu Fei asked her to do, she would not refuse.

"This matter needs to be kept secret!"

Gu Fei smiled slightly, and then explained his plan to attack the Soul Hall.

If he could break through the Human Hall and retrieve the Soul Origin stored within it, it would be an easy matter for Gu Fei's soul realm to step into the Heavenly Realm, and by then, his Alchemy might be able to break through the Ninth Grade.

The improvement of his soul power would also allow Gu Fei to attempt another great opportunity.

"Soul Hall?"

"That dark force you often talk about, Brother Gu Fei, the one that specializes in snatching people's souls!"

"Punishing a force like that sounds pretty good!"

After hearing Gu Fei's plan, Zi Yan seemed very interested as well.

The two hit it off immediately, but in order to keep it secret, they announced to the outside world that they were going into seclusion, and they didn't even intend to reveal it to the others in the Ancient Clan.

Because, even within the Ancient Clan, there were people from the Soul Clan who had infiltrated, so they had to be on guard.

"Xiao Yixian, Cai'er, Zi Yan and I are going out for a while, you don't need to worry!"

After arranging some matters, Zi Yan and Gu Fei quietly left the Ancient Realm.

……

The Soul Hall has a massive reputation in the Central Plains.

They possess quite a few branch halls, twenty-four of which belong to a relatively important tier, and the Soul Hall refers to them as the Earth Fiend Halls.

Above the Earth Fiend Halls, there are the Heavenly Dipper Halls, which are the most important parts of the Soul Hall.

The Heavenly Dipper Halls are divided into the Heaven Hall, Earth Hall, and Human Hall.

And the Heaven Hall is the headquarters of the Soul Hall.

Stationed there is the Hall Master of Soul Hall, Hun Miesheng.

The Earth Hall is the jurisdiction of the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, while the final Human Hall is governed by the Hun Dian Great Heavenly Venerable, the Second Heavenly Venerable, and others.

Gu Fei's target this time is that most vulnerable Human Hall, because only by attacking this place can he ensure there is no risk of failure.

……

The Corpse Burial Mountain Range is situated at the junction of the southwestern region of the Central Plains.

Due to the terrain, this place has an extremely heavy Yin energy, and mixed within that Yin energy is a thick corpse aura.

This Corpse Burial Mountain Range is also a strange mountain ridge composed of graves; under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to find a human shadow here, as no one would be willing to stay in such a ghostly place.

"Swish!"

In the silent sky of the Corpse Burial Mountain Range, the sound of wind being broken suddenly rang out.

A stream of light flashed by, and two figures appeared from the distance; the two of them were Gu Fei and Zi Yan, who had traveled all the way here from the Ancient Realm.

"We've arrived; ahead is where the Human Hall is located!"

Upon arriving here, the gazes of Gu Fei and Zi Yan looked toward the deepest part of the mountain range, where the space was faintly distorted.

"Zi Yan, it's up to you!"

"Rest assured, leave it to me; I guarantee that not even a single mosquito will be able to fly out!"

Gu Fei looked toward Ziyan, who smiled slightly and lightly waved her sleeve, causing the space in this world to quietly ripple.

Finally, it transformed into a massive spatial barrier, completely enveloping that entire region.

After finishing this, Gu Fei and Zi Yan charged directly into the depths of the mountain range, and both of them had also donned wide black robes.
