98: Chapter 98 Love at First Sight

"Bang—"

The dark creature looked at the fist piercing its chest in disbelief, then raised its head to look at the Emperor: "You are doing this for nothing. In the end, you will all die!"

The darkness was dispelled, and the entire border pass returned to peace, but it didn't last long; three terrifying dark creatures charged at the border pass once again.

"Heavenly Emperor, do you think this will save you?"

The entire space-time began to shatter, and the faces of the three dark creatures were filled with cold, pale expressions.

"Reincarnation Fist, kill!"

The Emperor showed no fear, meeting them head-on. A terrifying power instantly shattered the void, pulverizing the body of one dark creature, leaving the other two with expressions of disbelief.

"How is this possible? Heavenly Emperor, how could you have reached this stage? Impossible!"

"Kill him, kill him!"

"Damned Heavenly Emperor, I will eat him!"

The other two dark creatures roared madly, and within the black mist, strands of ominous matter were churning.

The four supreme powerhouses clashed again, causing the border pass to tremble repeatedly.

Especially that Heavenly Emperor, fighting three against one, yet showing no signs of falling behind.

The scene came to an abrupt end...

Ye Xuan finally opened his eyes. At this moment, he felt as if his divine sense was almost exhausted; he was tired, truly too tired.

"As expected of my Pretty Boy, to have an epiphany for six hours on your first attempt at enlightenment."

Master Shen Xi cast an appreciative glance at Ye Xuan and took a medicinal pill from her spirit ring. "This is a Grade 4 Spirit-Clearing Pill. It will help with your depleted soul. Swallow it."

Before Ye Xuan could react, a jade hand stuffed the pill into his mouth. Master Shen Xi channeled a stream of Mystic Power to help him quickly refine the pill. His soul felt a wave of coolness, and his divine sense recovered significantly.

Leaning in his master's embrace, feeling the tenderness of the moment, Ye Xuan unconsciously bit down on that finger. He felt how soft it was and giggled, "Thank you, Master."

"You wretched disciple, let go! You're biting my finger!"

Feeling Ye Xuan still sucking on her finger, Master Shen Xi's pretty face beneath her immortal countenance flushed slightly. "Wretched disciple, I've already helped you refine the Soul-Restoring Pill, let go!"

"Ah? Master, I'm sorry, it's all this disciple's fault. I was just too tired and lost focus for a moment."

Ye Xuan finally realized what was happening and reluctantly released Master Shen Xi's jade finger.

How could Master Shen Xi not see through Ye Xuan's little tricks? She wiped the saliva off her hand, her cold voice becoming visibly flustered. "You wretched disciple!"

The two remained in an embrace. Ye Xuan leaned weakly against Master Shen Xi, sensing the softness and the faint fragrance of her body. A warm atmosphere immediately spread across this immortal island.

"Hehehe, Master, you smell so good!" Ye Xuan broke the awkward atmosphere with a silly laugh, then calmed himself down. "Master, what exactly are those dark creatures?"

"You wretched disciple!"

Hearing this, Master Shen Xi felt like throwing this Pretty Boy into the immortal lake for a bath immediately. However, upon hearing the latter part of his question, her mood calmed down, and she patiently explained, "Those creatures from beyond the realm are even stronger than Great Emperors."

"Doesn't that make them Immortals and Gods?"

"Hehe, do creatures that embrace the darkness deserve to be called Immortals and Gods?" Master Shen Xi shook her head, a flash of intense killing intent crossing her beautiful eyes. "Alright, don't ask about this anymore. Your strength is still too weak right now. When your cultivation reaches the Saint realm or even the Emperor realm, I will tell you."

"Um... Master, why are you hugging Senior Brother?"

Suddenly, Little Moon's clear and foolish voice came. Beside her followed a young girl dressed in white, possessing an ethereal and cold temperament. Her small face also held a trace of surprise. As she gazed at Ye Xuan's face, which could be called a miracle, a blush unconsciously rose on her cold, pretty face. She felt this sensation was very strange; was it love?

The two of them had just arrived at Sword Immortal Peak on a flying spirit treasure when they saw this scene.

After being dazed for quite a while, the girl in white finally collected herself and bowed to Master Shen Xi. "Lin Qingzhu greets Grandmaster Shen Xi."

"Your Senior Brother was practicing a Mystic technique just now and exhausted too much of his soul. He almost fell to the ground, so naturally, I couldn't let him fall." Master Shen Xi explained slowly, feeling extremely helpless.

"Ah? Master, you've never hugged me like that!" Little Moon suddenly acted cute, a look of dissatisfaction on her face. Her clear, inquiring eyes seemed to be saying, "The aloof Master actually hugged Senior Brother; there must be something going on that I don't know about."

"Alright, don't mention this anymore. Little Moon, you come and hold your Senior Brother."

Master Shen Xi smoothly passed Ye Xuan into Little Moon's arms, immediately causing her dissatisfaction: "Wuu..."

"Since Lin Qingzhu is here, Little Moon, treat her well. I have matters to attend to, so I am leaving first." She left behind only a faint, indescribable fragrance that left people dazed.

Facing Little Moon's interrogation, Master Shen Xi was rarely at a loss for how to answer. Fortunately, Little Moon couldn't see her face clearly; otherwise, she would have discovered that her Master was actually blushing.

"Senior Brother, you've fallen into my hands now. Hurry up and tell me, why was Master hugging you?" Little Moon was young, but she didn't miss out on the gossip that women should have; her clear pupils were full of curiosity.

"You silly Little Moon, what are you thinking? What just happened is exactly what Master said." Having recovered some strength, Ye Xuan viciously reached out his hands and pinched Little Moon's cheeks.

Little Moon said dissatisfiedly: "Senior Brother, stop rubbing! If you keep rubbing, I'm going to become ugly."

"Junior Martial Uncle Ye and Little Moon have such a good relationship. By the way, is 'Little Moon' referring to Qingluan?"

Watching Ye Xuan and Little Moon play, Lin Qingzhu felt a bit envious. Thinking of the address used just now, she couldn't help but ask.

"Junior Martial Niece Qingzhu, you make me laugh. Yes, look at Qingluan's eyes, don't they look like a pair of beautiful crescent moons?"

Ye Xuan turned around and looked at the girl in white again, and a piece of information appeared before his eyes.

"Another Cauldron talent? Even more impressive than Saint Master Feng Linglong of the Phoenix Sacred Land whom I met before. I wonder how Feng Xueni is doing in the Phoenix Sacred Land."

After reading Lin Qingzhu's life destiny, Ye Xuan couldn't help but miss that silly girl, Feng Xueni.

"An affinity of 85? That's even more exaggerated than Crown Prince Zhou Yuan's fiancée, Nan Xu."
