Chapter 1298
Accompanied by Xu Que's final long roar, he pressed a palm to the ground, and the runes of the entire altar were infused with Immortal Yuan, becoming intense.
Er Gouzi was shocked; Brother Que is learned and talented, so amazing!
Xuan Yuan Wanrong's beautiful brows furrowed again in the ice coffin. She felt suspicious; the so-called "spells" Xu Que chanted were too strange, the vocabulary was very unfamiliar, and she had never heard of them at all!
But vaguely, she felt that these words, which even she hadn't heard of, seemed very powerful.
Added to that was Xu Que's expression at this moment, which was as serious as could be, as if he were facing some huge crisis, shouting anxiously at her, demanding she follow along and chant.
This made Xuan Yuan Wanrong feel that if she didn't chant them, something huge might really happen!
"Husband!" Finally, she chose to open her mouth.
Even if she felt these so-called "spells" were very strange, she still chose not to be suspicious anymore.
After all, in her view, no matter what kind of spells Xu Que asked her to shout, it was impossible for them to be detrimental to her, and this guy had displayed all sorts of strange things back then, leaving a deep impression on her. Now, conjuring up these spells didn't count for much.
"Go for it, Husband, I love you!"
Xuan Yuan Wanrong successfully finished the whole sentence.
Although the tone still sounded as cold as ever, as if she were reading from a script, it still satisfied Xu Que's desire for revenge.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he gave Xuan Yuan Wanrong a thumbs up, praising: "Well chanted. Don't worry, this time it's a sure thing. You'll be out very soon!"
"Good!" Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Wanrong actually revealed a rare smile on her exquisite face, which was usually as cold as an iceberg.
Xu Que was almost stunned; he felt like he had seen a ghost. This woman could actually smile, and she could smile so beautifully, almost making this old monk's girlish heart go thump-thump!
However, he couldn't afford to continue teasing Xuan Yuan Wanrong right now; the altar had been activated, so it was time to get down to business!
"Er Gouzi, it's your turn!" Xu Que shouted toward Er Gouzi.
"Okay, Brother Que is awesome!"
Er Gouzi immediately flattered him, dragging that giant sea cucumber forward with great enthusiasm, smiling on the outside while cursing on the inside.
In fact, the one who had to put in the effort to get Xuan Yuan Wanrong out was entirely Er Gouzi itself; Xu Que couldn't help at all.
This altar only needed to be infused with Immortal Yuan to be activated, which anyone could do, but breaking the runes on the altar could only rely on Er Gouzi itself.
It had recovered a segment of memory from its sixth life, so it was naturally very familiar with everything in the Buried Immortal Valley, including many rune restrictions it had learned back then, and now that it looked at these altar runes again, it no longer felt they were obscure or difficult to understand.
"Bang!"
Er Gouzi put down the sea cucumber and stomped its foot on the ground, stepping heavily on a rune.
The rune instantly cracked, but this wasn't the altar shattering; rather, the rune power dispersed, spreading rapidly in all directions like cracks.
The next moment, Er Gouzi waved its claw, released Immortal Yuan, and cast a seal, pulling those cracks and waving them rapidly across the altar.
At first glance, Er Gouzi looked exactly like a Husky dancing square dance on the altar, outstanding and astonishing.
However, the effect was very obvious. After being pulled by Er Gouzi, those cracks followed a peculiar route and quickly moved across the altar, eventually slowly forming an independent totem that floated on the surface of the altar.
"Kid, now!" Almost simultaneously, Er Gouzi shouted at Xu Que.
Xu Que immediately flashed over, arriving beside Er Gouzi like lightning. He raised his right leg high behind him, aimed at the giant sea cucumber, and swept it with a whip kick.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the giant sea cucumber was kicked away, spinning in the air like a big black ball, landing precisely in the circular totem Er Gouzi had carved out.
The totem immediately collapsed, turning into thousands of golden and silver threads, clinging crazily to the sea cucumber like tentacles, binding it tightly and pressing it toward the ground.
"This is... Void Restriction?"
Although Xuan Yuan Wanrong in the ice coffin couldn't see the situation on the altar, she felt a mysterious force surging toward her.
She had seen this kind of force before and was very familiar with it. It merged with the altar that sealed her, carrying powerful Void power; it was a restriction evolved from high-grade Immortal Laws.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted from the altar, and the totem binding the sea cucumber burst into dazzling brilliance, turning into a giant beam of light that shot into the sky.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, the clouds churning violently like sea waves, the world changed color, and the spiritual energy from all directions poured in like a flood!
Xu Que and Er Gouzi had already tacitly put on their sunglasses, arms crossed over their chests, both with smiles on their faces, watching this scene calmly.
"Whoosh!"
Finally, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, the void where the totem had been twisted, brilliance flashed and vanished, and the clouds in the sky dissipated rapidly, everything returning to calm.
The place where the totem had been had completely turned into a smooth stone surface!
Not only had the runes disappeared, but the giant sea cucumber was also gone, replaced by a white-clad figure.
She stood in place calmly, sweeping her gaze around, possessing an aura of someone surveying her own empire.
Looking at her, it was like a goddess walking out of a painting, merging with the magnificent Buried Immortal Valley. Where she stood was a painting, beautiful and untouchable.
"Strum, strum..."
Suddenly, a harsh guitar sound broke this beautiful scene.
Er Gouzi was wearing sunglasses and carrying a guitar.
Xu Que held a microphone, with a speaker at his feet, and suddenly began to sing loudly:
"Love is like, blue sky and white clouds, clear sky for ten thousand miles, suddenly a rainstorm..."
"Nowhere to hide, always makes people, caught off guard..."
"People are like, catching a bad cold, sneezing, feverish and needing rest..."
"Alternating between cold and hot, joy and hesitation, never tiring of it..."
At this point in the song, Er Gouzi and Xu Que looked at Xuan Yuan Wanrong and shouted in unison into the microphone: "A song, 'The Answer', dedicated to Fairy Xuan Yuan. Congratulations to the Fairy for returning to the human world!"
After finishing, the man and the dog threw down their things and clapped their hands "clap, clap, clap".
That enthusiasm, that flattery—it couldn't have been more dog-like!
Xuan Yuan Wanrong was stunned, seemingly amazed by Xu Que's singing. Although she had never heard such a peculiar melody or such straightforward yet interesting lyrics, she could still tell that this song was actually quite good!
But soon, her face returned to indifference, and her gaze looked at Xu Que with a hint of playfulness: "Seeing me come out, do you finally know fear?"
She had long since seen through Xu Que's personality and style; he was completely that kind of street rogue, as shameless as could be, and had been rude to her many times before.
Now that this guy was singing and clapping, if this wasn't out of fear, what was it?
"Fear? What do I have to fear? Master, you're overthinking it!" Xu Que said with a harmless, innocent smile.
Master?
Upon hearing this word, Xuan Yuan Wanrong felt a surge of anger, especially looking at Xu Que's smile, which made her even more annoyed!
Back then, it was because she was deceived by this smile of Xu Que's that she had impulsively decided to take him as a disciple. Now that she knew this guy was a shameless scoundrel, apart from sighing that she had been blind, she had no other way.
After all, this guy was now more than just a recorded disciple she had taken; he was also the Heaven's Chosen she had personally appointed, becoming her fated Dao companion, destined to live and die together from now on.
"Hey, what's going on? Did you smell something burning?" At this moment, Xu Que's expression suddenly changed, and he asked Xuan Yuan Wanrong.
Xuan Yuan Wanrong was stunned, frowned, looked left and right, but found nothing unusual.
Er Gouzi also twitched its nose, sniffed around, and shook its head: "No! Where's the burning smell?"
Xu Que ignored Er Gouzi, looked at Xuan Yuan Wanrong with deep affection, and smiled: "It's my heart burning for you!"
Following that, he suddenly clutched his chest, looking pained: "Oh my, my heart is so blocked, so clogged, so stuffy..."
The next moment, his brows relaxed, and he smiled at Xuan Yuan Wanrong: "So, my heart was filled by you!"
"..."
In an instant, the air in the whole place seemed to freeze.
Er Gouzi fell to its knees with a "thump", hammered the ground, and shouted: "Brother Que, I beg you, stop showing off!"
