Chapter 546 I will bless their children
"I thought you would stay at Lingqiao Pavilion for a while, at least to check out the newly released list of the most outstanding talents in the Upper Realm."
Inside the weapon-refining cave beneath Xie Cuicheng's Black Tower, Xue Lan looked at Xue Tong, who had suddenly appeared not far away, and spoke with a tone full of teasing.
Xue Tong rolled her eyes at the man, then took out the tortoise shell that Jing Ruyu had given her from her sleeve:
"What if I stay at Lingqiao Pavilion for ten days or half a month and can't find Lord Wolf when I come back?"
"This is what you want."
Xue Lan gently raised her hand, and the tortoise shell in the girl's hand floated in front of her. The woman's powerful divine sense covered it, and sure enough, she sensed a strange demonic soul aura.
Xue Lan spoke slowly, her tone full of approval:
"As expected of the young master of Lingqiao Pavilion, he is truly thorough in his work."
"What do you mean by 'thorough'?" Xue Tong asked, leaning closer to examine the tortoise shell with some curiosity.
Xue Lan was always good at satisfying Xue Tong's curiosity. The woman gently raised her hand and drew out a small cluster of strange fire from between her eyebrows, slowly approaching the tortoise shell.
"Wow!"
Xue Tong let out a small gasp of surprise, because as Xue Lan's strange fire approached, a small cluster of strange fire appeared on the tortoise shell, transforming into chains that bound a small, dark shadow.
"Is this Ji Ping's demonic soul?"
The girl looked at Xue Lan with sparkling eyes: "Miss Jing is so amazing!"
Aside from Xue Lan, she had never seen another person who could imprison the soul of the Demon God's son.
"She knew I was going to ask Ji Ping, so she specially imprisoned the entire demon soul within me."
"Take a look at this." Xue Lan smiled gently and poured a copper coin out of the tortoise shell, handing it to Xue Tong.
The girl leaned closer to Xue Lan's hand and saw that the copper coin looked ancient and natural. On the front was a lifelike phoenix, and on the back were the words "Moon Crane." Its surface was entangled with energy, pulling at the strange fire chains binding the demonic soul.
"What is this?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"This is the Nine Phoenix Coin." Xue Lan turned the copper coin over with her fingertips:
"The Phoenix Clan of the Upper Realm is the leader of all birds. They forged the Nine Phoenix Coins as tokens for their nine clans, which contain a trace of the aura of the Nirvana Ancestral Fire."
Xue Tong pointed a trembling finger at the strange fire chains: "Is this the Nirvana Ancestral Fire?"
Xue Lan gently shook her head:
"It's just a wisp of breath."
"Oh." Xue Tong withdrew her finger with some disappointment, then looked at Xue Lan as if she had remembered something and spoke:
"I received some news when I returned to the Upper Realm this time."
"What news?" Xue Lan asked curiously.
"Because of what Beiyuchuan forced us to do last time, Jinguang seems quite angry and sent the twenty-four tribes of Beiyuchuan to rampage and kill all over the Upper Realm."
Xue Lan nodded knowingly: "It's just the way of the sword."
"I'm a little curious. The Phoenix Clan forges the Nine Phoenix Coins as tokens of their various clans. As the Chief of the Northern River, what have you given to your clans?"
Xue Lan was stumped by the question.
The woman held the tortoise shell in her hand, pondered for a while with great seriousness, and then awkwardly spoke:
Does blessing their children count?
Xue Tong asked with some curiosity, "How does one bestow blessings?"
Xue Lan's expression was somewhat strange, and she remained silent for a short while before slowly speaking:
"You know the Northern Region River is very cold, right? Most of the tribes living there are furry..."
"Wait!" Xue Tong raised her hand to interrupt Xue Lan.
"The blessing you're talking about, you don't mean making everyone offer you furry, cuddly things to rub, do you?"
"No!" Xue Lan firmly denied, "They're terrified of me. Except for one or two, none of them dare to send their children to see me, so..."
Xue Tong squinted: "So..."
Xue Lan chuckled slyly: "That's why I usually sneakily touch it myself."
Xue Tong covered her eyes: "I'm starting to wonder if the little tiger in your previous story was just a chance encounter."
"That's absolutely right, that's a guarantee! Jing Tonghu's territory is tens of thousands of miles away from Beiyuchuan, I wouldn't go that far to seduce a furry creature."
Xue Tong was skeptical of this statement, but she didn't press the matter further. The girl gently pointed to the tortoise shell in Xue Lan's hand:
"I'm going outside for a walk. You hurry up and look at the things; you might find news about your senior brother."
Upon hearing this, the girl noticed that the smile on Xue Lan's face immediately faded.
The woman's voice was no longer as cheerful as before; her fingertips gently caressed the tortoise shell in her hand.
"Xiaotong, I'm a little scared."
"But talking to me won't make me scared!" Xue Tong looked into Xue Lan's eyes:
"Xue Lan, only if you are fearless can you save those who are also trapped in fear."
"You are the all-powerful Wolf King!"
Hearing the girl's words, Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh again:
"Xiaotong, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"She bullied me when you went out."
"Tsk!" The inner demon in his mind gritted his teeth.
When the inner demon was led out of the cave by Xue Tong, spewing vulgarities, he saw the wolf king's wicked smile and his constantly waving claws.
Inner Demon: You bastard, just you wait!
She insisted on telling Xue Tong about Xue Lan's nascent soul having ears.
With Xue Tong and the inner demon gone, Xue Lan was left alone in the weapon-refining cave.
The woman let out a long sigh of relief, then sat down cross-legged on the ground, the strange fire that flew out from between her eyebrows forming a Bagua diagram on the ground.
"Senior brother!" Xue Lan spoke softly, her slender fingertips directly pinching Ji Ping's demonic soul and throwing it onto the Bagua diagram formed by the strange fire.
The tiny demonic soul grew larger the instant it broke free of the chains of the strange fire, eventually transforming into a semi-transparent man in purple robes.
"Hello." Xue Lan tilted her head slightly and looked at Ji Ping: "Seventh Prince."
Ji Ping's demonic soul warily eyed the smiling woman before him, his voice hoarse and unpleasant:
"You're Xue Lan, the one who plotted to kill Ji Yan?"
Xue Lan's eyes crinkled into crescents, and the smile on her face was impossible to hide:
"That's right, I am Xue Lan."
The woman's fingertips gently twirled on the tortoise shell in her hand:
"Not only that, I also killed Ji Song, who had been lurking underground in the Dali Dynasty."
"Since childhood, Xue has suffered from a strange illness that makes him feel unwell if he doesn't kill the son of a demon god."
A dark light flickered in the woman's grey eyes:
"I, Xue, am unwilling to make myself uncomfortable, so I can only ask Your Highness to make this difficult."
After saying this, Xue Lan suddenly took out several copper coins from her sleeve and put them all into the tortoise shell in her hand.
"Your Highness, please answer the questions I will ask next truthfully."
Ji Ping watched as the woman in front of him raised the tortoise shell containing copper coins above her head and then gently shook it.
"Wow!"
The moment the sound of the copper coin colliding with the tortoise shell reached him, Ji Ping shuddered.
Unbeknownst to him, streaks of pitch-black causal energy suddenly appeared beneath his feet, passing through the holes in the tortoise shell in Xue Lan's hand and connecting to the man's wrist.
The woman smiled faintly, her gray eyes devoid of life, like a demon from hell:
"The first question," the woman said coldly, looking at Ji Ping.
Do you know the owner of this tortoise shell?
