10: Chapter 10 The Secret of Twilight Snow

You watch the Pill King approach through the air and cannot help but think of a phrase.

"An Innate expert, terrifying indeed!"

The Pill King is an old man with white hair between his brows, looking quite benevolent.

However, at this moment, he radiates the pressure of an Innate expert, a pressure so immense that you can hardly catch your breath.

"Is this what an Innate expert is?"

You ponder to yourself.

"We pay our respects to the Pill King!" You and the Martial Artists present all bow respectfully toward the Pill King.

"I did not expect that this time, four Transcendent Prodigies would emerge at once." The Pill King strokes his white beard and looks at you all benevolently.

"Truly, Heaven blesses our Dragon Kingdom." The Pill King says, "You are all the hope of the Dragon Kingdom, and also its future."

"Heroes emerge throughout the world, and it was an oversight on the part of our Danwang Valley that four such Prodigies as yourselves appeared in the Dragon Kingdom's martial arts world at once." The Pill King looks at you and says, "Since that is the case, we will make an exception this time and allow all four of you to enter the Spirit Liquid Pool of Danwang Valley!"

"Thank you, Lord Pill King." You cup your hands and say respectfully to the Pill King.

"Hahaha!" The Pill King looks at you very happily. "This must be young friend Lin Heng; your natural talent is indeed extraordinary."

The four of you walk into the Spirit Liquid Pool.

However, in the process, you peeked at Mu Xue changing clothes and were body-slammed by her.

The water in the Spirit Liquid Pool is not transparent, but a semi-solid jade green, like molten emerald. The moment you step into the pool, you feel every pore on your skin being pried open by a gentle force.

"Are Brother Lin and Young Miss Mu Xue very close?" Chen Tianxiao walks up to your side and asks.

"Of course, we are like siblings." You feel Mu Xue's Killing Intent and quickly correct yourself: "Brother and sister, brother and sister!"

Mu Xue ignores you; she has changed into a blue swimsuit and walks into the Spirit Liquid Pool, looking very sexy.

She glances at the two of you, waves her fist, and says nothing.

"Hahaha, you two really have a good relationship." Chen Tianxiao says, "I truly envy you."

"Then, Brother Lin, have you heard about that matter regarding Young Miss Mu Xue?" Chen Tianxiao lowers his voice and asks you.

"What matter?" You become interested and lean in closer to Chen Tianxiao.

"Brother Lin, you don't know?" Chen Tianxiao looks at you with a confused expression. He turns his head to glance at Mu Xue to ensure she is not looking this way before saying to you, "I heard it from an elder in our Liehuo Sect."

"Young Miss Mu Xue's full name is General Zhou Muxue, and she is a member of the Dragon Kingdom's Zhou Family!" Chen Tianxiao continues, "And in the ancient Zhou clan, there appeared an Empress who, according to legend, reached a Realm above the Martial Arts Saint."

Chen Tianxiao lowers his voice: "The following matters were all told by that elder of mine. That elder is called Master Wu Suanzi, but in the School, everyone calls him Madman Wu. He is crazy and often speaks nonsense, so I hope Brother Lin will not repeat what I am about to say to others."

"Of course, Brother Lin can just listen to it as a joke." Chen Tianxiao looks at you: "I will continue now."

Seeing his serious expression, your own expression cannot help but become serious, and you nod.

"My elder said that the Empress had a Cultivation Technique capable of resurrection through another body, and Mu Xue is the vessel prepared for that Empress." Chen Tianxiao says.

You are very shocked and want to say something, but Chen Tianxiao holds you down. He shakes his head: "This is just nonsense from my elder, nonsense. I hope Brother Lin does not take it seriously."

You nod and cannot help but ask: "Then why can Mu Xue be here now?"

"Perhaps it is due to restrictions on the vessel. I heard that the resurrection Cultivation Technique not only requires powerful Soul Power, but also has requirements for the vessel's physical body. It cannot be too weak, or it would burst immediately. So, I suppose it will wait until Mu Xue reaches the Innate Realm before..." Chen Tianxiao says: "Of course, Brother Lin, just listen to it as a joke."

Although he says this, looking at his serious expression, you know that what he is saying is no joke.

"Why are you telling me this?" You ask Chen Tianxiao.

You two are meeting for the first time; he should have no reason to tell you these things.

"Because..." Chen Tianxiao looks at Mu Xue with a flushed face.

You seem to understand something; Mu Xue's face and figure are indeed attractive.

"I understand, I understand, Brother Chen." You look at Chen Tianxiao with a smile.

Chen Tianxiao looks surprised: "Wait, what do you understand?"

"Aren't you interested in Mu Xue..." You wink at him.

However, Chen Tianxiao shakes his head: "No, Brother Lin, you are mistaken. I do not have those kinds of feelings for Mu Xue."

"I am..." As he speaks, Chen Tianxiao's face starts to flush again.

This time, you carefully follow his gaze.

You discover that he does not seem to be looking at Mu Xue, but at Zhang Hao next to Mu Xue.

"OMG," you say, looking shocked. "Could it be that you..."

Chen Tianxiao nods.

"Wait, you're into guys?" Lin Heng looks surprised.

This means that Chen Tianxiao likes Zhang Hao, not Mu Xue.

"But that doesn't make sense?" Lin Heng still does not understand. "Then why would he tell me about things regarding Mu Xue?"

You cannot help but cover your backside; you are currently wearing only underwear and soaking in the same pool as him.

You are a little scared.

But you feel something is wrong. Since he likes Zhang Hao, why would he tell you about Mu Xue?

"Then why did you tell me about Mu Xue?" You ask, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.

You see Chen Tianxiao sigh and say, "Because Brother Hao likes Mu Xue."

"Brother Hao said he is willing to sacrifice everything for Mu Xue. I really don't know what is so good about Mu Xue?" Chen Tianxiao says, curling his lip.

You still feel something is wrong: "Then what does this have to do with me? Why tell me these things?"

Chen Tianxiao leans closer to you again, and you subconsciously move away from him.

"Doesn't that Mu Xue have feelings for you?" Chen Tianxiao says.

"Huh?" You are full of question marks, not understanding what he means.

"Brother Hao once told me that Mu Xue only gives candy to people she has feelings for." Chen Tianxiao says, "Didn't you receive candy from Mu Xue?"

"Huh?" You are still full of question marks.

Are you a little kid with lots of question marks? Little question mark, do you have a lot of friends?

That Mu Xue has feelings for you—you have thought about it, but you still dare not believe it.

Just a moment ago, you were body-slammed by her for peeking at her changing clothes.

If anything, your relationship with Mu Xue... is more like siblings.

You look at Chen Tianxiao in front of you, then glance at Zhang Hao on the side.

Alright, the relationship between these two should also count as brothers.

You inexplicably cover your backside.
