Chapter 2055: Diverting Disaster Eastward Succeeded

Uh... ah? What?

In that instant, Xiao Feng's expression froze.

He was dumbfounded!

This is impossible!

"Fairy Maiden, don't spout nonsense, the Monster Emperor Senior has already..."

Xiao Feng didn't believe her words, thinking she was talking nonsense.

Xun Shuang explained: "That little girl is indeed not the former Xuan Die Monster Emperor, but her divine soul is indeed of the Venerable Realm!"

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Xiao Feng was completely stunned.

"Is Xiao Xuan Die's divine soul as strong as a Venerable?"

How is this possible!

Senior Xuan Die fell while helping him fight a powerful enemy; this was a huge blow to Xiao Feng, and even after a long time, he has not forgotten the scene of Senior Xuan Die being slain by the Lord of Life.

He felt guilty toward Senior Xuan Die but had no way to repay it, so he could only treat the subordinates of the Butterfly Emperor Palace well, settle Xiao Xuan Die, and do what he could.

Although he would occasionally mischievously slap Xiao Xuan Die's butt, in his view it was just playing with a child, and he harbored no ill intent.

But now Xun Shuang tells him that Xiao Xuan Die's body contains a Venerable-level soul!

Isn't that terrifying?

"That little lass isn't even a God King, so how could she be that strong?"

"Are you serious?" he asked Xun Shuang in disbelief.

Xun Shuang Xianzi nodded slightly: "Absolutely certain; if you don't believe me, go investigate yourself. Since you can detect our divine sense, you ought to be able to gauge her depth."

As she spoke, her tone relaxed considerably; this ploy of diverting disaster eastward was a great success, and Xiao Feng's attention had completely shifted away from her.

"But this is impossible, I personally witnessed Senior Xuan Die's fall, and even the Holy Ape Monster Emperor came

". Moreover, Xiao Xuan Die is her daughter... wait! Could it be that the little girl was possessed by another Venerable?" Xiao Feng thought of a possibility.

Xun Shuang Xianzi said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, do you doubt my judgment? I have seen the Xuan Die Monster Emperor; I am somewhat familiar with her divine soul, and I can confirm it is definitely her. That little girl is probably not her offspring, but rather an independent incarnation."

Independent clone!

"Damn! Why is this happening?"

Xiao Feng became even more dazed.

He had never doubted Xiao Xuan Die, nor had he ever investigated her, but today Xun Shuang told him this!

If this is true...

What trick is Senior Xuan Die playing? If there truly is a surviving clone, why not tell him?

Heaven knows how many times he secretly grieved when Senior Xuan Die died in battle!

That was a Monster Emperor Senior who was meticulously caring and deeply concerned for him, just like his master, no different from family!

Since a clone was left behind, why hide it from him?

Could it be that he intentionally disappeared to secretly watch him grow?

Hiss!

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable; everything then makes sense!

Senior Xuan Die must have intended to stimulate him with her death, urging him to strive harder so he could soon reach the Dao Ancestor realm!

This is a great risk taken to motivate him!

If even a slight mishap occurred when the Lord of Life struck her down, her divine soul would also be worn away, and she would truly be dead!

While alive, she wholeheartedly helped him, gave him treasures, told him various secrets, and aided his rapid rise!

Once he became strong and no longer needed her level of power, she would not hesitate to discard the cultivation she had accrued over hundreds of thousands of years, sacrificing

herself, to motivate him!

What is this?

This is Senior Xuan Die using everything to help him!

She truly used everything!

Even Little Jianmu was given to him for free!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng was moved to tears, his eyes about to well up.

Senior Xuan Die turned into Xiao Xuan Die, still alive, but she didn't tell him, surely because she didn't want him to know she hadn't died, thereby weakening his drive to advance.

But she didn't know that Xiao Feng would strive no matter what, because even for his own sake he would aim for the Dao Ancestor realm!

"You should have told me earlier." Xiao Feng said ruefully.

Xun Shuang whispered: "I... I only found out recently."

"Ah, I'm done for."

Xiao Feng gave a bitter laugh, leaning on her shoulder, his whole body seeming to lose strength.

"What's wrong?" Xun Shuang turned her head to look at him, asking puzzledly.

Just now, being targeted by Xiao Feng's aggressive attitude, she felt nervous.

Now, still being held in an intimate embrace, she no longer felt that repulsion, nor did she have the urge to push him away.

Xiao Feng gave a bitter laugh: "I, I... I damn it, every few days I slap Xiao Xuan Die's butt, who knew she was actually Senior Xuan Die herself. I never thought that little lass would have any secrets, I never probed her. Now it's great, Senior Xuan Die might be cursing me in her heart, but to motivate me she still had to endure humiliation, pretending to be just a little kid. Ah... ah ah ah! Kill me, I have no face to show people!!"

Xiao Feng wished he could draw his sword and stab himself to death.

This misunderstanding is too great!

It's been too long!

It's hopeless!

If Xun Shuang hadn't told him this secret today, he probably wouldn't have realized it even after a long time.

He wouldn't have noticed Xuan Die's soul anomaly.

Because whenever he sensed being "peeped at", he never thought it was Senior Xuan Die, only feeling it must be either Fei Lian or Chan Xia; due to their great strength, their soul fluctuations weren't clear, so he didn't confirm which one it was.

The Chaos Secret Realm is his private secret realm; without permission, no strong person may enter arbitrarily, and there is basically no possibility of enemy invasion.

This really can't be blamed on his carelessness; nobody else would think of this either!

Xun Shuang looked at his expression of utter hopelessness and couldn't help laughing.

"Then why don't you hurry up and apologize?" she said.

Xiao Feng subconsciously nodded.

Then he immediately shook his head wildly and replied, "No, no, no, Senior Xuan Die means well; I can't ruin her plan. I've been trying hard, but I can't expose her, otherwise it'd be too embarrassing. I'd better pretend not to know; when I become strong enough in the future, I'll guide her to revive in the real world, so I can act as if I knew nothing."

Xun Shuang chuckled and said, "So you mean you still want to... hit her?"

Xiao Feng's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare. Ah, truly sinful—who else should I hit but Senior Xuan Die? She can't tell anyone else… Ah, wrong! Senior Cai Yi witnessed me hitting Xiao Xuan Die! She might already know! Damn! My life is ruined…"

The more Xiao Feng thought about it, the more wrong it felt; suddenly he had the urge to lug his baggage and leave this place.

This time I really have no face to see people!

This absolutely must not be exposed!

Now the embarrassment is only in my heart; if we don't speak it out, everyone still has

a fig leaf.

If it were exposed, not only would he have no face to see people, but Senior Xuan Die would also be mortified to death!

"Fairy Maiden, please keep this secret for me; this must not be let known to others." Xiao Feng begged Xun Shuang.

Xun Shuang nodded: "As long as fellow daoist doesn't make things difficult for me like today, I promise not to tell."

Xiao Feng laughed and cried.

So she brought this up on purpose just to negotiate terms with him?

"I agree to that. However… one thing is one thing, although that place is embarrassing, I also acted unintentionally. But you, you won't really want to be just 'ordinary friends' with me for life, will you?" he sighed.

Xun Shuang nodded and said, "This is the best outcome."
