Chapter 1258

"The more you ask me to leave, the more interested I am in this place."

Shi Qingxuan was immediately somewhat annoyed upon hearing this, but she was, after all, of a nature that did not contend with the world.

Seeing Su Xuan insist on staying here, she had already spoken good words, and clearly would not continue to force the issue to the end.

"Since that is the case, then take care of yourself."

As she spoke, Shi Qingxuan stood up abruptly and turned around. Under the illumination of the candlelight in the temple, her true face was reflected in Su Xuan's eyes. Her figure was graceful and curvaceous, and every part—eyes, eyebrows, mouth—was peerless. Unfortunately, what should have been perfect beauty was ruthlessly destroyed by a nose that was disproportionately high and had an ugly bone joint. If this ugly nose could be removed, any other part could be compared to beauties of the level of Wanwan of the Demonic Sect or Shi Feixuan of the Cihang Jingzhai, especially that pair of dark, bright, gem-like eyes, which had a mysterious and captivating style that seemed eternal.

After seeing Shi Qingxuan's true face clearly, Su Xuan could not help but take a few extra looks.

"Have you seen enough?"

Shi Qingxuan was somewhat angry because of Su Xuan's gaze.

Su Xuan smiled faintly, without any embarrassment. He withdrew his gaze and finally let Shi Qingxuan leave this place.

After Shi Qingxuan left, Su Xuan continued to examine this Evil Emperor Temple.

The entire temple appeared very simple. Because no one had been there for a long time, it was covered in spider webs, a scene of desolation. The candlelight here seemed to have been lit by Shi Qingxuan who was there earlier.

After exploring the temple, Su Xuan finally looked at the back of the Buddhist niche and jumped directly to the wall behind it. Su Xuan reached out and exerted a little force, and the wall immediately opened, revealing a passage.

Su Xuan jumped and entered it.

Not long after Su Xuan entered the passage through the movable wall behind the Buddhist niche, another figure appeared at the temple entrance. It was Shi Qingxuan. Although she had left earlier because Su Xuan would not listen to her advice.

But this was the Evil Emperor Temple, the place where the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian had gone into seclusion years ago, and it was full of mechanisms. Shi Qingxuan was kind-hearted and did not want to see innocent people die because of it, so while Su Xuan was wandering in the temple, she had been hiding in the dark.

As a result, she had not expected Su Xuan to directly find the secret door of the Evil Emperor Temple and step into it.

This made her extremely worried.

The Evil Emperor Temple was full of crises, and even she had to follow the teachings of Lu Miaoji from the past, not daring to act rashly. This person stepping into it rashly, she feared, would be in danger.

Originally, the other party was seeking his own death, and Shi Qingxuan did not want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, she finally could not bear it.

Looking at the opened secret door, Shi Qingxuan finally chose to step into it.

She had thought Su Xuan had only entered a little earlier than her, and relying on her understanding of this place, she could quickly catch up to Su Xuan. As a result, she had not expected Su Xuan to be a few steps faster than she had imagined.

After entering the secret passage, there was an extremely spacious underground space with over a hundred steps. The steps were filled with many mechanisms. Su Xuan's divine sense moved, and he grasped the location of the mechanisms clearly. His figure flew into the air, leaped down, quickly passed through the hundred-plus steps, and finally arrived before a round hole.

On the left and right of the hole, there was a pair of couplets carved on the stone wall: "Spiritual beauty naturally formed," and "Divine workmanship opens the cave mansion"!

"It really is a world within!"

Su Xuan sighed while stepping into the hole.

Not long after he stepped into it, Shi Qingxuan also arrived here.

For Su Xuan not triggering the mechanisms on the stone steps, she could only sigh at Su Xuan's good luck, but inside it was different. In this Demon-Subduing Cave, there were even greater dangers.

If Su Xuan did not know the severity, relying solely on luck would not get him through that hurdle.

Shi Qingxuan could only continue forward, and following Su Xuan, she also stepped into the cave.

After entering the round hole and continuing forward, there was an extremely vast mountain space. In this mountain space, there were seven holes, each connecting to the main branches. Between them, the holes extended deep downward, twisting left and right, bizarre and strange. Within the holes were holes, large holes covering small holes, all connected, making one feel like entering a maze.

Even Shi Qingxuan frowned slightly upon seeing these holes.

Simply because, within these caves, lived tens of millions of bats. Even Shi Qingxuan, because of Lu Miaoji, had some understanding of the world within the cave, and did not dare to act rashly.

Simply because these bats were blood-sucking strange species. If they were surrounded by them, even a martial arts expert would find it difficult to escape.

"Where exactly did you go? I hope you don't act rashly!"

Shi Qingxuan looked at the seven holes ahead and muttered to herself.

She did not know which hole Su Xuan had entered. Right now, she could only hope that Su Xuan had not entered the hole with the most bats.

"Are you concerned about me?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out from beside Shi Qingxuan's ear.

Shi Qingxuan was startled and hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see a figure like a ghost appearing beside her. It was indeed that person from earlier.

"I did not expect that while you were advising me to leave this place, you were secretly following me. Could it be that you have fallen in love with me? Although your appearance has some flaws, I am not a person who judges by appearance. I can barely suffer a loss and take you as a concubine. As for the position of the main wife, don't even think about it."

A series of words came from Su Xuan's mouth, and Shi Qingxuan was immediately somewhat annoyed.

Her true appearance was, of course, not like this.

It was precisely to cover her true face and avoid some people coveting her beauty that she wore this fake nose. As a result, she had not expected that even like this, the person before her would still tease her.

Shi Qingxuan's tone carried a trace of anger, "You, you are truly unpleasant."

"Coincidentally, I never intended to be someone everyone likes."

Su Xuan responded calmly.

"Since you have come here, then accompany me to stroll around this Evil Emperor Temple!"

"I also really want to know if Xiang Yutian left anything here!"

Su Xuan said a sentence that shocked Shi Qingxuan's heart.

Immediately, she felt a hand wrap around her waist, and her body flew out involuntarily.
