Chapter 43 The Unexpected Event Came Too Quickly
"She looks quite cute, and we don't need anything right now, so let's keep her."
As for the contract, we'll have to wait until later. After all, it's a spirit jade that has become a deity, comparable to a celestial beast. If the other party is unwilling, forcing a contract might not be good for either side. That's why no contract was formed when Wei Qiushuang brought the spirit jade back.
"Yay! My little cutie, you have a home now! I'm your second older sister, Xiao Yiyi!"
"Hey, you guys really aren't asking for my opinion?!"
"Go away, nobody cares whether you live or die."
"Hey, You……"
The two started pretending to fight again. Lu Xihan led Sui Yu away from them, too lazy to bother with them.
She turned to Sui Yu and smiled, "My name is Lu Xihan. You can call me by my name from now on, or you can call me 'sister' if you don't mind."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for taking me in."
Lu Xihan smiled and reached out to touch her head; the feel of it was surprisingly nice.
Suddenly, the bracelet on his wrist seemed to warm up, and that one moment was enough to make Lu Xihanmu freeze in shock.
In the bustling crowd, Lu Xihan spotted that person at a glance.
That person looked very ordinary, so ordinary that she could easily be lost in the crowd with just a turn of her head. But she had a pair of unforgettable eyes, like a treasure hidden in the sand. If you didn't notice them, it would be fine, but once you did, they would amaze you and leave a lasting impression.
Those eyes were devoid of any emotion, like those of a deity detached from the six realms, seeing all living beings through mortal eyes.
Yet she seemed to have all living beings in her eyes, her emotions intertwined with countless feelings, much like an ordinary mortal.
In the blink of an eye, those eyes and that person were swallowed up by the crowd, as if it were all just Lu Xihan's illusion, as if they had never existed.
Lu Xihan stood stiffly, his blood seemed to freeze, and his heart pounded terribly.
Sui Yu noticed her unusual behavior and tugged at Lu Xihan's hand: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xihan suddenly came to her senses, turned around to look at Sui Yu, and forced a stiff smile: "I'm fine."
It turns out that there was someone all along watching her every move, but she could never find this person.
What was his purpose? Was it because of the spatial bracelet on her hand? Or because of her soul from another world?
At this moment, Lu Xihan felt deeply how weak he was, that someone had been following them all along without them noticing!
……
Seeing that Sui Yu was with Lu Xihan and the others, Liu Xingxing felt relieved and left without hesitation.
This time, she simply slipped out because she had nothing better to do, without letting the younger generation of Qiwu Peak know. Moreover, when she dealt with Qin Wen, she had already let people know that she had gone back. If she didn't go back, her sect would probably be trampled down by those old men in the sect again.
Who would have thought that this spectacle would last for almost two months?
However, Liu Xingxing still carried her broken leaf magic artifact to keep going. After all, walking is different from flying. Following the three of them, they hadn't left Penglai Ravine, so they weren't actually that far from Xuanshan Sect.
Liu Xingxing even took a break to let the little snake in the ring out for a bit of fresh air. Unsurprisingly, the talkative snake started chattering away again.
"Damn it! I thought you'd forgotten about your old flame after finding someone new!"
"Seriously, they've locked me up for so long without even asking me how I am. They owe me compensation, they have to compensate me!"
"Alright, alright, you're such a busybody. Aren't all those spirit stones in the ring enough for you to make a fortune? You're such a spendthrift." Liu Xingxing had a headache.
"Tch, you get tired of spirit stones after a while. Can't we try something different? The pills you gave me last time were pretty good..."
Looking at the little snake's gleaming eyes, Liu Xingxing could easily see through its little scheme.
"Seventh-grade pills? You really dare to dream of them. It's already good enough that we're giving you spirit stones to eat. We'll reward you when you make some contributions."
"Tch, so stingy!"
The little snake turned its head in protest.
How could it not know the rarity and benefits of seventh-grade pills? After eating the one Liu Xingxing gave it last time, it clearly felt that it was more effective than eating a bunch of spirit stones. How could it not be tempted?
Liu Xingxing didn't want to pay attention to it. Seeing that it was about to fly into the territory of Xuanshan Sect, she waved her hand and put the little snake back into her storage ring. However, just as she was about to stand up and stretch her legs, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of her. Before Liu Xingxing could react, she was sucked in.
"Damn it! Which bastard dared to plot against me!"
Holy crap, does anyone know what's going on? I was just walking along and suddenly I bumped into some unknown barrier.
The crack disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the mountain stream outside remained calm and undisturbed.
"what!!!!!"
Liu Xingxing plummeted straight down into the dark void, unable to use any of her spiritual energy techniques.
There was no light around, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Liu Xingxing was weightless for several minutes until she couldn't shout anymore. Just as she was wondering how long she would be adrift in this turbulent current before she could get out, a crack exactly the same as the one before suddenly appeared in front of her and sucked her out.
Liu Xingxing could only offer it one "Holy crap!"
"Pfft!"
Something suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of the Jimo River, splashing up a huge spray of water.
Ji Mochuan immediately leaped out of the hot spring, grabbed an undergarment and wrapped it around himself, then shouted, "Someone come here!"
In an instant, seven or eight armored guards burst through the door, lined up by the pool with weapons, ready to capture the reckless assassin.
The misty steam obscured the face of the person in the water. Ji Mochuan, his eyes cold, slowly dressed, then walked to the water's edge and spoke with a cold, handsome face:
"Who sent you to assassinate me? Speak! I may spare your life and leave you with a whole corpse."
Liu Xingxing wiped the water off her face with disgust, struggled to stand up, looked around in confusion, and exclaimed that she was unlucky.
How did she end up in someone's house, and in such a sorry state? It's really not befitting of her status as a cool and collected person.
The air was thick with steam, making it difficult to see clearly. Liu Xingxing groped her way to the edge of the pool, and just as she was about to climb up, several knives were suddenly placed in front of her.
"Well, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's talk it out."
"Oh, a misunderstanding?"
A pair of bare feet walked up to her, and a deep voice came from above.
Liu Xingxing looked up and saw that the man was quite good-looking and had a good figure, much like the kind of domineering CEO with chiseled features and a double-door-sized body described in some novels.
However, there was no spiritual energy surrounding this person, nor were there any of the men with knives.
Did the rift throw her into the mortal realm?
Ji Mochuan watched as the woman raised her head, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes. Even among the countless so-called beauties he had seen, none could compare to even a fraction of the beauty of this woman before him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a reincarnation of a fox spirit.
Her small, delicate face and exquisite features looked so pitiful because of the water. Her scarlet dress spread out in the water, like a blooming peony. The wet clothes outlined her graceful figure, making anyone who looked at her feel excited. The wet hair at her temples made her even more charming.
Just look at those useless people next to me and you'll know it's true.
However, her very first words somewhat ruined that image.
"Hey guys, let's talk this out. This is really a misunderstanding."
Unaware that her illusion was no longer working, Liu Xingxing just wanted to quickly climb ashore, dry her clothes, and then get out of there as fast as she could.
Honestly, we were just on our way and suddenly we got caught in the turbulence.
"Go down."
Ji Mochuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
For some reason, he didn't want others to see her like this.
"Yes!"
The men responded and withdrew.
Ji Mochuan squatted down with great interest and looked at Liu Xingxing, asking, "Who are you, and why are you here with me?"
The king?
Could it have fallen into the mansion of some prince in the mortal realm?
The situation is still unclear, so she needs to be careful.
"My name is Liu Xingxing, and I am an immortal from Penglai Stream. I was on my way when I suddenly ended up here."
"Penglai Stream?"
Ji Mochuan closed his eyes briefly, his tone slightly ambiguous: "You've come to see the Imperial Advisor?"
National Division?
Who is it?
Those who can be called national advisors in the mortal world are generally quite powerful, but this is not necessarily the case in the world of cultivation.
Furthermore, the cultivation world has explicit rules that cultivators cannot appear in the mortal realm, which lacks spiritual energy.
Unlike the mortal realm where immortals and mortals are mixed, this mortal realm has boundaries. You can only pass through by tearing open the boundary barrier, but the price is extremely high. If you are not strong enough, forcibly tearing open the boundary barrier will only result in the death of your soul and body, and you will not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
There are quite a few mortal dynasties that mix immortals and mortals, but they don't produce beings like the Imperial Advisor who are associated with "divine authority and celestial phenomena," since the people there all know what "heaven" is like.
Could she really be that unlucky?
