Chapter 280: Infinite Charm
The woman's voice was charming with a bit of seduction, soft with a bit of allure. At first listen, it was like an oriole coming out of a valley, a kite crying and a phoenix singing—crisp and loud yet gentle and soft.
It was full of temptation.
Xu Qing trembled all over, his scalp tingling, and he couldn't move at all.
He let the woman in front of him lift his chin, and at the same time, he also saw the rays of light flowing in the playful intent in her eyes.
He was a bit dazed, and even more endlessly nervous, but in these surroundings, at this moment, an unusual fragrance permeated.
That was the woman's body fragrance.
This fragrance made Xu Qing's heartbeat accelerate as never before.
This kind of experience was unprecedented in his life, the first time he had encountered it.
It was both a life-and-death crisis and a feeling he couldn't clearly express—as if he had become a delicious snack that was about to be tasted.
Especially the other party's cultivation base, and that hunter-looking-at-prey, up-and-down gaze, made Xu Qing's heart and mind surge with heaven-shaking waves.
The Captain took a breath on the side.
"Huang Yikun, you bastard, it's just a Profound Nether Finger, you actually called your ancestor!"
The Captain's breathing was rapid, but then he thought this matter was wrong. Even if Huang Yikun was a genius, it was impossible for his ancestor to come personally to make things difficult for the two of them, unless he was also like Sheng Yunzi, the ancestor's grandson.
According to his understanding, this was clearly not the case.
So he calmed down rapidly, carefully observing the stunning woman, noticing the other party's posture, and recalling the other party's words just now, his eyes suddenly widened, and a bold guess emerged in the Captain's mind, turning into a thunderbolt, booming and exploding.
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!" The Captain hurriedly closed his eyes, pretending not to see, while his heart surged with monstrous waves.
"This face of Little A-Qing... this is a fatal kill!"
At the same time, at the foot of this mountain, two figures were rushing over rapidly. One was Huang Yikun, and the other was someone who looked somewhat similar to Huang Yikun, but clearly older.
The two were as fast as meteors, heading straight for this place.
"Brother, today you must help me seek justice. They went too far, snapping my five fingers one by one. It is cruel to the extreme, infuriating to both man and god, and truly hair-raising!
"Don't worry, Little Brother, Brother will..."
Their arrival caught the Captain's attention. He opened his eyes and looked over. At the same time, the stunning woman who was lifting Xu Qing's chin turned her head to look at where Huang Lingfei and Huang Yikun arrived.
With one look, Huang Lingfei's heart and mind roared. He suddenly turned his head and slapped his brother's head, directly slapping Huang Yikun, who was still speaking, unconscious.
"Help you, ghost!" Huang Lingfei roared inwardly, secretly thinking that his brother's brain had always been problematic and not very bright. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been arranged to go to the Seven Blood Eyes before.
Going was one thing, but others didn't go.
Beside them stood the First Prince of the Seventh Peak. He clearly kept his eyes closed, not daring to look at the Old Ancestor or Xu Qing, whom the Old Ancestor was teasing, but the shock revealed on his face was exactly what Huang Lingfei was feeling inside.
Huang Lingfei's heart and mind trembled. He couldn't forget the scene he had just seen, and he kept cursing Huang Yikun inwardly, thinking who you shouldn't have provoked, why did you provoke someone the ancestor took a fancy to.
"Why did you two come too?" The one speaking was the stunning woman standing in front of Xu Qing, who turned to look at Huang Lingfei.
Huang Lingfei shuddered. Without any hesitation, he grabbed Huang Yikun, who had been slapped unconscious by him, approached rapidly, threw his brother on the ground, knelt down himself, and said loudly.
"Ancestor, disciple met Xu Qing... fellow Daoist today! It was because my brother was ignorant and provoked Fellow Daoist Xu. I brought him here today to apologize."
Huang Lingfei was extremely nervous. His words paused for a moment because he didn't know whether to call Xu Qing Junior Brother or Senior Brother. No matter how he thought about it, it was bad. What if the ancestor misunderstood? But his reaction was also fast, and he quickly thought of the word 'fellow Daoist'.
After saying this, he even looked at Xu Qing with sincerity.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, my brother's brain is not bright, he is a fool."
On the side, Huang Yikun, after the fall just now, slowly opened his eyes, revealing confusion, faintly hearing his brother's voice, but before he could fully wake up, Huang Lingfei slapped him again, and he fainted again.
"Please don't mind, Fellow Daoist Xu Qing." Huang Lingfei's forehead was sweating, and after speaking, his heart was beating fast, and he didn't dare to get up.
The stunning woman standing in front of Xu Qing smiled again upon hearing this, said nothing, took a step forward, and walked into the sky.
At this moment, the moonlight fell, lining her enchanting figure like a blooming violet; falling on her snow-white skin, it seemed to turn into heavenly gauze.
This made this already mature and beautiful woman emit the charm of peerless elegance, and in mid-air, her figure paused, she turned her head slightly, looked at the earth, and laughed softly.
"Little friend, welcome to the Profound Nether Sect anytime."
She was in the sky, with the moon behind her, and amidst the brilliance, it was as if the violet star rose to illuminate the orchid, the slender waist and jade belt danced with heavenly gauze, suspected to be a fairy from the nine heavens, and a glance back smiled better than the stars.
The laughter was still there, but the person had already gone far away.
With the departure of the Profound Nether Sect ancestor, Xu Qing's body instantly recovered its mobility. He suddenly retreated, his breathing rapid. He heard the other party's words and knew the identity of this person who made him feel terrified. At this moment, his heart and mind were surging and couldn't be calm.
The Captain on the side was the same.
Huang Lingfei was also the same.
The three were silent. Huang Yikun, who had fainted, naturally had no sound.
Until a long time later, the Captain coughed.
"That... are we still trading?"
Huang Lingfei took a deep breath. At this moment, he recovered some from the previous shock, shook his head rapidly, cupped his fists at Xu Qing and the Captain, grabbed his brother, and left this place quickly.
In his heart, he was worried, secretly thinking whether he had seen a scene he shouldn't have seen, whether he had disturbed the ancestor's good deeds... Thinking this way, he became even more uneasy.
Watching Huang Lingfei go far away, Xu Qing had lingering fears. The Captain greeted him to leave, and until they returned to the main city of the Seven Blood Eyes, the Captain let out a long breath.
"How could we encounter the Profound Nether Sect's ancestor, Immortal Zixuan!"
Xu Qing didn't speak. In his mind, for some reason, the scene just now kept appearing, especially the eyes of that Immortal Zixuan, which made Xu Qing instinctively breathe rapidly. This feeling was a first in his life.
"Little A-Qing, thank you for today's matter!" The Captain let out a long sigh.
"Immortal Zixuan, I know about her. Legend has it that when this Immortal Zixuan was young, she was famous throughout Yinghuang Province, with countless pursuers. Although she has never had any Dao companion since she started cultivating, there are countless rumors, and I don't know if they are true or false."
"She should have felt the two of us just now, took a fancy to me, and then lifted your chin to attract my attention. Little A-Qing, you have been wronged." The Captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder without blushing or panting.
"Senior Brother, eat more pomelo in the future!" Xu Qing glanced at the Captain.
"Why?" The Captain was stunned.
Xu Qing didn't explain, walked to the port berth, jumped up, and stepped onto the magic ship.
The Captain coughed. Seeing Xu Qing leave, the shock in his heart could no longer be suppressed and emerged again, but soon he pondered Xu Qing's words before leaving.
"Why eat more pomelo?"
At the same time, inside the magic ship, Xu Qing walked into the cabin, scattered more poison around, and opened several more layers of protection. Only then did he let out a long breath, sat cross-legged, and began to analyze today's matter.
This matter was too strange. Xu Qing had never encountered it before and had never thought of it, but his first feeling was that there must be a demon if something was abnormal.
"An ancestor who has cultivated to that extent, every word and action must have a reason. This Immortal Zixuan, did she see any problem with me? She should be of the same era as Master, or is it because I am Master's disciple today?"
Xu Qing pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find the reason, so he took out the teleportation jade slip, sent a voice transmission to Master, told him everything about this matter, and also implicitly asked about the relationship between Master and this Immortal Zixuan.
On the other end of the jade slip, Seventh Master was silent.
After a long time, Seventh Master's voice spread indifferently.
"Back then, that Immortal Zixuan once pursued me fanatically, and was rejected by me more than three hundred times. Maybe she remembered me when she saw you. It is understandable. Don't spread this matter; it's all in the past."
"Master still has things to do, let's not talk for now."
Xu Qing was suspicious.
He felt that Master's reply was somewhat... similar to the Captain's previous statement.
And at this moment, at the top of the Profound Nether Sect mountain, in the main hall, the returned Immortal Zixuan sat on a meditation cushion, lazily stretched her beautiful and slender waist, took the cloud snow lotus seed soup brewed with hundred-flower morning dew sent by the old servant beside her, took a sip, suddenly frowned, and looked to the side.
The old servant stood there, motionless, as if her body had been fixed, and even her expression was static. Behind her in the void, a figure walked out.
This figure was in a green robe, with long hair over his shoulders, middle-aged, full of elegance.
His eyes had stars flowing. Looking carefully, there were layers behind the stars, spreading to the depths of his eyes. There were so many layers, at least ten thousand.
This made his eyes seem to possess astonishing power. Looking at him, one would involuntarily sink into them.
It was the Alliance Leader of the Eight Sect Alliance.
"Junior Sister, your time is running out. Have you thought about your answer to me?" The Alliance Leader of the Eight Sect Alliance spoke calmly.
"Asking every month, I refuse every month. Are you finished?" Immortal Zixuan frowned and spoke coldly.
"Why refuse? Are you still looking for someone with light in their heart? In this troubled world, such people do not exist. Even if they really exist, after contacting the evil of eating people in the outside world a few times, they will be changed by this cruel world until they dim, and will not meet your requirements."
"You only need to agree to let me plant a divine thought, and you can borrow my power to make up for the last line of law you lack, making the thousand lines of space-shattering complete, and breaking through to the second great stage is promising."
"If you want to find a furnace, go find someone else. Outsiders don't know your character, but I know it well." Immortal Zixuan spoke calmly, not giving an inch.
The Alliance Leader of the Eight Sect Alliance looked at the stunning woman in front of him deeply and smiled slightly.
"Junior Sister, your lifespan is not much. I will come to ask you next month." After speaking, the Alliance Leader of the Eight Sect Alliance turned into starlight and dissipated in the main hall.
As he left, the old servant beside him returned to normal, knowing nothing about what had just happened.
Only Immortal Zixuan put down the lotus seed soup in her hand and frowned in silence. ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
"You ask every month, and I refuse every month. Will you never be done?" The Immortal Zixuan frowned and spoke coldly.
"Why refuse? Are you still looking for someone with light in their heart? In this chaotic world, such a person does not exist. Even if they truly existed, after a few contacts with the man-eating evil of the outside world, they would be changed by this cruel world until they grew dim, failing to meet your requirements."
"You only need to agree to let me plant my divine sense, and you can borrow my power to fill in the final line of law you are missing, making your thousand lines of space-shattering complete, and making a breakthrough to the second major stage possible."
"If you want to find a cauldron, go find someone else. Outsiders may not know your temperament, but I know it clearly." Immortal Zixuan spoke calmly, not yielding an inch.
The Alliance Leader of the Eight Sect Alliance looked deeply at the stunning woman before him and smiled slightly.
"Junior Sister, your lifespan is running low. I will come to ask you again next month." After speaking, the figure of the Eight Sect Alliance Leader turned into starlight and dissipated within the great hall.
Following his departure, the old woman beside her returned to normal, completely unaware of everything that had just transpired.
Only Immortal Zixuan put down the lotus seed soup in her hand, frowning in silence.
