342: Chapter 342 Sipping Tea at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to Wash Away the Mortal World, The Heavenly Secret Woman Peeks into Fate and Shatters the Dao Heart

Tianlan Immortal City.

This super hub ranked among the best in the entire Taihao Immortal Realm.

At this moment, it had fallen into a bizarre and hair-raising state of absolute silence.

On the broad main road outside the city gates, paved with top-grade Azure Sky Jade.

The gray dust dancing in the air had not yet fully settled.

That dust was the final trace left in this world by nine Archaic Crimson Flame Dragon-Lions, a top-grade Grand Unity Immortal Carriage, and three powerhouses at the Peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

A light breeze brushed past.

The dust scattered with the wind.

Not a trace of blood remained, yet it exuded a desperate silence a billion times more terrifying than a mountain of corpses or a sea of blood.

Zhou Wannian held his hands casually behind his back.

His faded green robe billowed gently in the breeze of the Immortal Realm.

He did not employ any Divine Ability to shrink the earth into inches.

Nor did he ride any Light of Escape that tore through the Void Realm.

He simply took steady, relaxed steps, treading upon the Azure Sky Jade street covered in gray dust.

One step.

Two steps.

Like a mortal scholar who had just finished a stroll on a country path, looking for a tea stall to rest his feet.

He walked very slowly and with great composure.

But along the sides of the street, and even throughout the entire outer city area of Tianlan Immortal City.

Millions of Cultivators.

Loose Cultivators, Sect Disciples, merchant tycoons, and even the Divine Thoughts of several Immortal Venerables hidden in the shadows.

All of them held their breath at this moment.

Not a single person dared to breathe loudly.

Not a single person dared to emit even the slightest ripple of spiritual power.

Every gaze was fixed with extreme fear—a terror originating from the deepest depths of their Souls, as if they had witnessed a destroyer from an ultimate dimension—staring dead-on and with awe at that back in the green robe.

The sound of Zhou Wannian's footsteps was not loud.

"Tap... tap..."

The extremely faint sound of cloth shoes hitting the ground.

Yet it felt like heavy hammers, striking the hearts of everyone with extreme precision and arrogance.

Wherever he passed.

The luxurious shops that had activated their highest-level defense Formations saw their light screens flicker uncontrollably and violently, as if trembling in submission to this supreme being.

Those Sect Elders who were usually high and mighty and insufferably arrogant now all kept their heads down, wishing they could embed their bodies into the cracks in the ground, for fear of drawing even a sliver of attention from this god of slaughter.

One man.

Subdued a top-tier great city of the Taihao Immortal Realm into dead silence.

Zhou Wannian completely ignored these gazes that looked at him as if he were a monster.

His state of mind had long since encompassed the birth, death, and Reincarnation of the entire inner universe.

To him, the fear and awe of these external ants were like wild grass bowing in the breeze—an extremely natural yet extremely boring occurrence.

He looked up slightly.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, looked toward the end of the street.

There.

Stood a magnificent pavilion of grand atmosphere and extreme luxury.

Named the "Drunken Immortal Tower."

This Drunken Immortal Tower was ninety-nine stories high.

Each floor was embedded with countless Archaic Sea Tower Stones capable of gathering the power of stars.

Around the pavilion, Immortal Qi swirled in mists, and auspicious colors streamed in a thousand rays.

There were even several phantom images of Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, manifested from pure top-grade Immortal Veins, coiling and winding between the eaves and painted corners of the pavilion.

This was the highest-spec and most mysteriously backed Den of Luxury in Tianlan Immortal City.

Ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals didn't even have the qualification to step through the doors of the first floor.

"Since I've come to this high-dimensional cultivation world for a stroll."

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, carrying a hint of leisurely laziness as he whispered to himself.

"The tea and wine of this Mortal World are much more interesting than those cold killings."

He did not hesitate in the slightest.

With unhurried steps, he walked directly toward the main entrance of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

At the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Two rows of beautiful welcoming Fairies whose cultivation had reached the Early Golden Immortal stage were originally standing there.

These Fairies were accustomed to big scenes.

They had welcomed and seen off the masters of various Holy Lands and the descendants of ancient families.

But now.

When they saw that young man in the faded green robe walking toward them as if strolling in a courtyard.

The faces of these two rows of beautiful Fairies instantly turned as pale as paper.

Their delicate bodies trembled violently.

It even became extremely difficult for them to maintain their standing posture.

They had just witnessed that absolute dimensional slaughter outside the city gates with their own eyes.

The three Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao-protectors of the Burning Heaven Holy Land—what high and mighty, supreme giants they were, beings the Fairies had to look up to.

Yet they had been crushed like three ants by the green-robed youth before them, erased from existence without even a speck remaining.

"Thump! Thump!"

When Zhou Wannian reached within ten yards of the entrance.

These Golden Immortal maids, who were usually incredibly proud.

Could no longer withstand that invisible pressure—one that wasn't intentionally released but caused absolute crushing at the foundational level of dimensions.

All at once.

Their knees buckled.

They knelt in a perfectly neat row upon the white jade steps.

They pressed their smooth foreheads tightly against the cold ground.

Their whole bodies shook, and they couldn't even squeeze a single "Welcome, Senior" out of their trembling throats.

Zhou Wannian's expression remained as calm as water.

He paid no mind to these maids kneeling on the ground.

Nor did he intentionally restrain the perfectly self-contained aura of his inner universe.

He just, quite normally.

Passed by these kneeling Fairies.

With steady steps.

Stepped across the threshold of this top-tier restaurant of the Taihao Immortal Realm.

The moment he stepped into the Drunken Immortal Tower.

The surrounding noise and bustle seemed to be completely cut off by an invisible barrier.

Inside the vast lobby on the first floor.

There should have been a decadent scene of countless immortal melodies playing and countless dignitaries clinking glasses.

But now.

The entire lobby was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Hundreds of distinguished guests from various forces in the Taihao Immortal Realm.

Were all frozen in their respective seats.

The white jade wine cups in their hands were stopped in mid-air, wine spilling onto the expensive Immortal Beast fur carpets, yet they were completely oblivious.

Every gaze was focused on the green-robed youth who had slowly walked in.

They didn't dare to flee.

Nor did they dare to speak.

For fear that a single tiny movement would invite a dimensional strike comparable to a world-ending Heavenly Tribulation.

In this suffocating silence.

A plump old man with a stout figure, wearing a purple-gold Bagua Daoist robe.

Came out to meet him from the depths of the lobby, drenched in sweat and practically crawling.

This plump old man was the manager of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

An influential figure whose cultivation had reached the Early Stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm and who could be said to call the shots in Tianlan Immortal City.

But now.

His round face was piled with a smile that was extremely fawning, extremely terrified, and even carried a hint of pleading.

The back of his magnificent purple-gold Daoist robe had long been completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Sen... Senior's presence is an honor..."

The fat manager's voice trembled violently.

He bowed deeply, bending his waist to an exaggerated angle that was almost parallel to the ground.

"Junior... Junior Qian Tonghai, manager of the Drunken Immortal Tower... failed to welcome you from afar, I beg Senior's forgiveness."

Zhou Wannian stopped his pace.

Hands casually behind his back.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, faintly swept over the fat manager at the Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

On that clear, handsome, and easygoing face, an extremely relaxed and faint smile appeared.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were striking up a conversation with an ordinary mortal waiter, and he spoke quite naturally.

Zhou Wannian said with a composed expression: "Manager, you are too polite. I am just an idle person passing by for a stroll. I just finished some chores of cleaning up trash outside and felt a bit parched. I heard the tea at your Drunken Immortal Tower is good, so I thought I'd come for a cup to quench my thirst. I wonder, is there still a quiet seat available?"

These words.

Were spoken lightly.

Were spoken as if they were perfectly natural.

But in the ears of the fat manager and all the Cultivators present.

They exploded like a clap of thunder.

Chores of cleaning up trash?

Crippling the Young Saint of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, erasing three powerhouses at the Peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, and even turning a top-grade immortal carriage and archaic exotic beasts into fly ash.

Such a catastrophic incident, enough to trigger a full-scale war between two top-tier Holy Lands of the Taihao Immortal Realm.

In the mouth of this green-robed youth, it was actually just "chores of cleaning up trash"?

The fat manager felt his legs go weak, nearly kneeling directly on the ground.

But he still held on by relying on an extremely strong desire to survive.

He frantically wiped the cold sweat pouring from his forehead like a waterfall.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The fat manager replied repeatedly, his voice as rapid as a machine gun.

"For Senior to come to my Drunken Immortal Tower is a great blessing we have cultivated for a hundred lifetimes! The first floor is too noisy and unworthy of Senior's supreme status. Junior will personally lead the way. Please, Senior, move to the ninety-ninth floor, the 'Taixu Lingyun Pavilion'! That is the highest-spec quiet place of my Drunken Immortal Tower, and absolutely no one will dare to disturb Senior's elegant mood!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wannian.

Nodded slightly.

On that clear and handsome face, there was no expression of being overwhelmed by the favor.

As if going to the top floor of this top-tier restaurant in the Immortal Realm was only natural.

Zhou Wannian said in an easygoing tone, "Then I shall trouble the manager to lead the way."

"Senior is too kind to this Junior! This way, please! Senior, this way!"

The fat manager felt as if he had been granted a great amnesty.

He quickly stepped aside, hunched his back, and led the way in front with extreme respect.

He didn't even dare to take a loud breath.

Zhou Wannian took steady, leisurely steps.

Following the fat manager toward the teleportation Formation in the depths of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

It wasn't until Zhou Wannian's back completely disappeared at the end of the first-floor lobby.

That the hundreds of frozen Cultivators in the lobby seemed to come back to life.

"Phew—"

Bursts of extremely heavy breathing rose and fell within the lobby.

Many young Cultivators who usually considered themselves Prodigies now found that their Daoist robes were already soaked with cold sweat.

There were even a few Cultivators with weak wills who collapsed directly onto the floor, vomiting heavily.

That sense of dimensional pressure from facing an unspeakable horror.

Was simply more painful than being killed.

"Too terrifying... what kind of monster is this..."

"The Burning Heaven Holy Land has likely kicked a steel plate this time that the entire Taihao Immortal Realm cannot withstand..."

Low exclamations and trembling discussions spread throughout the first-floor lobby of the Drunken Immortal Tower in an extremely suppressed manner.

And at this time.

Zhou Wannian had already followed the fat manager.

Crossing layer upon layer of spatial teleportation Formations.

Directly arriving at the highest floor of the Drunken Immortal Tower—the ninety-ninth floor, the Taixu Lingyun Pavilion.

The moment he stepped onto this floor.

The surrounding scene opened up suddenly.

This was not a pavilion room at all.

But a miniature grotto-heaven paradise forcibly opened up by an extremely terrifying Great Divine Ability.

Beneath his feet were rolling Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds.

Above his head was a brilliant galaxy within reach.

In the exact center of this starry sea of clouds.

Floated a simple tea table carved entirely from Absolute Beginning Creation Jade.

Beside the tea table were two prayer mats made from Ten-Thousand-Year Lightning-Struck Agarwood.

The immortal spiritual energy here was so dense it had almost turned into physical droplets.

A single breath could be worth a hundred years of hard cultivation for an outside Cultivator.

This place.

Could definitely be considered an extremely rare place for quiet cultivation and tea tasting in the Taihao Immortal Realm.

The fat manager led Zhou Wannian to the tea table.

He stood with his hands respectfully at his sides, not even daring to have the qualification to sit.

The fat manager asked with a trembling voice: "Senior... do you find this environment to your liking? My Drunken Immortal Tower may not compare to those top Holy Lands, but our tea and wine are among the best in the Taihao Immortal Realm. I wonder what Senior would like to taste?"

Zhou Wannian did not answer in a hurry.

He very casually walked to the Absolute Beginning Creation Jade tea table.

Lifting the hem of his green robe.

He sat down cross-legged on the prayer mat on the left with great composure.

His posture was relaxed to the extreme.

Without any guard, and without any affectation.

As if he really were just a mortal guest resting at a tea house.

Zhou Wannian slightly raised his chin.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, looked at the sweating fat manager before him.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, carrying a hint of leisurely expectation, as he spoke faintly: "Since I've come, I naturally want to taste the best you have here. Bring out the signature immortal tea of your Drunken Immortal Tower. I have quite a picky palate. If it's some inferior stuff brewed with mortal spiritual springs, don't bring it out to spoil the mood."

Upon hearing this, the fat manager.

The fat on his whole body gave a violent shudder.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

The fat shopkeeper quickly bowed and said in an extremely fawning tone, "Senior's Dharma Eye is like a torch! How would this Junior dare to fool Senior with inferior goods? This Drunken Immortal Tower of mine does indeed possess a treasure of the establishment. It is called the 'Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Enlightenment Immortal Tea'."

"This tea is harvested from the deepest part of the Taihao Immortal Realm, from that ancient Chaos Enlightenment Tree that has existed since the creation of heaven and earth. It took nine chaos epochs to produce just nine tea leaves. My Drunken Immortal Tower spent an innumerable price and only managed to obtain one of them. Ordinarily, even if a Creation Immortal King were to visit, this Junior would never dare to bring it out. But today, Senior has graced us with your presence. Such peerless immortal tea is only fit to be enjoyed by a supreme existence like Senior!"

The fat shopkeeper's words were extremely well-spoken.

They pointed out the incomparable preciousness of the tea.

And also extremely skillfully flattered Zhou Wannian.

He was an extremely shrewd businessman.

He knew that the green-robed youth before him was a supreme god of slaughter capable of easily wiping out the entire Tianlan Immortal City.

If he could use a single tea leaf to forge even the slightest bit of good Karma,

Then this deal would be an enormous profit.

When Zhou Wannian heard the Origin of this tea,

A faint glimmer of interest appeared on his handsome and easygoing face.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady as he nodded slightly and gave an extremely casual evaluation.

Zhou Wannian said with a calm expression, "Tea leaves produced over nine chaos epochs? Tainted with the purest Dao resonance of creation from this great cultivation world? It sounds like the foundation is barely passable. Then brew it for me to taste. Let's see how its quality compares to the water from the nine nether earth core lotus pond in my inner universe."

Although the fat shopkeeper didn't understand what an 'inner universe' was,

He knew that the lord before him had agreed.

He felt as if he had been granted a great amnesty.

He quickly reached into his extremely well-hidden storage space.

Carefully, as if he were holding his own life in his hands,

He brought out a simple jade box fired from Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

The moment the jade box was opened,

An extremely ancient and vast fragrance—one that seemed to allow a person to instantly see through past and present lives and perceive the Reincarnation of the Great Dao—

Explosively permeated throughout this Starry Sky Cloud Sea Grotto-Heaven.

The fat shopkeeper took a deep breath.

He personally took out a set of transparent tea tools crafted from top-grade Star River Ice Soul from his sleeve.

He then drew a stream of 'Lunar Primordial True Water' that appeared as an extremely pure pale gold and emitted a dense vitality.

A wisp of 'Samadhi Taiyi True Fire', extremely weak yet pure to the extreme, flickered from his fingertip.

On the tea table,

He began to brew this peerless immortal tea, which was enough to trigger a war in the Immortal Realm, for Zhou Wannian with extreme focus and care.

The process of brewing the tea was extremely complex.

It contained the top-tier tea Dao Laws of the Taihao Immortal Realm.

The tea leaf tumbled in the Lunar True Water, emitting visible ripples of the Dao.

It was as if miniature worlds were being born and destroyed in Reincarnation within the teacup.

A full half-hour passed.

That cup of 'Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Enlightenment Immortal Tea', which radiated a nine-colored glazed luster, was finally finished.

The fat shopkeeper's hands were trembling.

He pushed the cup of immortal tea extremely respectfully in front of Zhou Wannian.

The fat shopkeeper said with a trembling voice, "Se... Senior, the tea is brewed. Please critique it, Senior."

Zhou Wannian's expression remained as calm as water.

He was in no hurry to drink.

Instead, in an extremely ordinary manner, he reached out his slender, fair right hand.

He picked up the Star River Ice Soul teacup.

He brought it to his nose and took a gentle, extremely leisurely sniff.

An extremely pure sense of the passage of time and the logic of the Origin evolution of this world

Attempted to surge into Zhou Wannian's Sea of Consciousness along with the tea fragrance,

To help him 'attain enlightenment'.

However,

An incredible scene of crushing occurred quietly within Zhou Wannian's body.

That ancient Dao resonance, which was enough for ordinary Immortal Kings to gain sudden insight and achieve a Breakthrough on the spot,

The moment it touched the Great Perfection Laws of Zhou Wannian's inner universe,

Was like an extremely weak candle flame encountering a rapidly expanding supernova.

The Great Perfection Time Reversal Law extremely arrogantly organized and absorbed the time fragments contained within the tea fragrance.

The perfectly self-consistent cycle of the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art

Extremely overbearingly dismantled these external 'Daos' directly into the most basic energy supplements.

Zhou Wannian didn't need to 'comprehend' the Dao of this Taihao Immortal Realm at all.

Because his inner universe was itself an absolute truth that transcended this world.

Zhou Wannian tilted his head back slightly.

With extreme composure,

He drained the immortal tea in the cup in one gulp.

The tea entered his throat,

Turning into an extremely surging, cool current of air that dispersed within his body.

But it was instantly swallowed whole by the massive mass of the inner universe.

It failed to stir even a single ripple.

Zhou Wannian set down the teacup.

A smile that was extremely easygoing yet tinged with a hint of dullness appeared on his handsome and gentle face.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were evaluating a cup of somewhat bland green tea from the Mortal World, as he spoke softly.

Zhou Wannian said with a calm expression, "The heat control is not bad, and this Lunar True Water is also quite crisp. It's just that the so-called 'Reincarnation Grand Dao' contained within these tea leaves is truly a bit too shallow. It's like a frog at the bottom of a well who has never seen the truly vast Universe talking to itself. However, using it to wash away the dust of travel can be considered a decent mouthwash."

This evaluation,

If heard by those old fogies of the Taihao Immortal Realm,

Would absolutely make them spit out three liters of blood on the spot.

That was the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Enlightenment Immortal Tea.

A peerless divine object that could allow one to instantly realize the Supreme Dao.

In the mouth of this green-robed youth, it was actually just... mouthwash?

The fat shopkeeper stood by, cold sweat pouring down as he repeatedly agreed, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.

And just as Zhou Wannian extremely leisurely set down his teacup, preparing to continue admiring the scenery of the starry sky and cloud sea,

At the highest point of the Drunken Immortal Tower,

In the deepest part of those Nine-Colored Auspicious Clouds,

A pair of extremely mysterious and incredible eyes were staring intently at Zhou Wannian.

That was not a physical entity,

But a kind of ultimate peering that crossed Karma and destiny.

That was the current Saintess of the Taihao Immortal Realm's most mysterious top power—the Tianji Pavilion, Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue.

She possessed the 'Innate Karma Grand Dao Eyes', which was extremely rare in this Universe.

She could see through the past and present lives of all living beings in the world.

She could see through the endless trajectories of destiny in the past and future.

Even those high and mighty Creation Immortal Kings could not hide their own Karma from these eyes of hers.

At this moment,

This Heavenly Secret Saintess, who usually resided high above the Nine Heavens and wouldn't even give the time of day to the lords of Holy Lands,

Was hiding within her secret room, which was equipped with a top-secret shielding Formation.

She was covered in cold sweat.

Her delicate body was trembling violently.

From her pride and joy, the Innate Karma Grand Dao Eyess, two lines of extremely stinging bright red blood actually flowed out.

Because,

When she tried to peer at the green-robed youth who had sat in the first-floor hall and later came to the ninety-ninth floor,

What she saw,

Was not some world-shaking cultivation,

Nor was it some complex web of destiny and Karma.

Rather, it was,

'Nothingness'.

An extremely pure and thorough absolute void.

On that green-robed youth,

There was no past.

There was no present.

There was no future.

He was like an 'absolute black hole' that had been forcibly gouged out from the karmic closed loop of this Universe.

Any gaze or Law that attempted to test his destiny,

The moment it touched the space within three feet of his body,

Would be extremely overbearingly dismantled and crushed by a terrifying power that completely transcended the logic of the Taihao Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao.

Mu Qingxue's rock-solid Supreme Dao Heart,

The moment it faced this 'absolute unknown',

Actually developed an extremely minute yet terrifying crack.

"This... this is impossible..."

Mu Qingxue ignored the blood flowing from her eyes.

Her face, which was beautiful to the extreme yet pale as paper, was filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

Her voice trembled as if she had seen the most terrifying nightmare in the world.

"Transcending the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements... This is a Realm that, in legends, only supreme existences who have surpassed the limits of the Universe possess..."

"He... who exactly is he..."

"A perfect variable... untainted by any Karma..."

Mu Qingxue endured the sharp pain of her Divine Soul being torn.

She knew.

She had encountered a supreme existence capable of subverting the entire Taihao Immortal Realm, and even subverting the limits of her cognition.

Such an existence,

Even if she only had the slightest, weakest karmic intersection with him,

Could bring about an incalculable shift in destiny for the entire Tianji Pavilion.

But,

The mission of the Tianji Pavilion was to pursue the greatest variables in the world.

Mu Qingxue took a deep breath.

She forcibly suppressed the crisis of her Dao Heart collapsing.

She extremely decisively wiped away the blood from the corners of her eyes.

She changed into an extremely elegant yet infinitely noble moon-white flowing immortal dress.

She made an extremely bold, even extremely crazy decision.

She was going to personally meet

This existence that even the Karma of the Heavenly Dao could not define.

*Buzz.*

With an extremely slight spatial fluctuation,

Inside this Taixu Lingyun Pavilion, which originally only held Zhou Wannian and the fat shopkeeper,

The starry sky and cloud sea rolled slightly.

A figure in a moon-white dress, peerless in elegance and with an aura as ethereal and otherworldly as could be,

Like a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the Mortal World,

Appeared extremely abruptly yet naturally opposite that Primordial Creation Jade Tea Table.

Mu Qingxue's appearance

Caused the fat shopkeeper nearby to shudder all over, nearly jumping out of his skin.

"The... The Heavenly Secret Saintess?!"

The fat shopkeeper took a sharp breath, a storm of shock raging in his heart.

This was a goddess who truly stood at the pinnacle of the Taihao Immortal Realm's pyramid.

Usually seen only in glimpses like a divine dragon, why would she suddenly appear here?

However,

A scene that made the fat shopkeeper even more terrified appeared.

This high and mighty Heavenly Secret Saintess, who made countless Saints and gods bow,

After appearing,

Did not show the slightest bit of arrogance.

Instead, she was extremely respectful and humble.

Toward the green-robed youth sitting on the prayer mat with his hands casually behind his back,

She performed a deep and extremely solemn Daoist bow, the kind a Junior would give to a supreme Elder.

Mu Qingxue's voice was as crisp as pearls falling onto a jade plate,

Yet it also carried an extremely restrained trembling and awe.

Mu Qingxue spoke with a solemn expression, "Junior Mu Qingxue of the Tianji Pavilion ventures to disturb Senior's quiet cultivation. Just now, Junior unintentionally peered at Senior's supreme visage and suffered a karmic backlash, nearly causing my Dao Heart to collapse. Senior's transcendent Realm of containing the Universe within and being immune to all methods leaves Junior in infinite awe. Appearing today with thick skin, there is an extremely important matter concerning the Origin of this Universe that I wish to discuss with Senior. I wonder if Senior is willing to grant Junior an opportunity to share tea at the same table?"

This posture

Was humble to the extreme.

And sincere to the extreme.

Zhou Wannian sat quietly cross-legged on the prayer mat.

On that handsome and easygoing face, there wasn't the slightest bit of surprise at the sudden appearance of this peerless Fairy.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, faintly swept over Mu Qingxue.

One glance.

And he saw through the residual blood and terror within those so-called Innate Karma Grand Dao Eyess of hers.

The corners of Zhou Wannian's mouth curled into an extremely leisurely smile, one that showed he saw through everything with composure.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were looking at an extremely overconfident yet somewhat interesting and mischievous child.

He spoke extremely casually.

Zhou Wannian said with a calm expression, "To dare use a pair of broken eyes that haven't even touched the threshold to peek at my hidden cards. You're lucky you weren't turned into an idiot on the spot. Since you want to chat, then sit. It just so happens this tea is a bit bland; I'll treat it like listening to a storytelling performance to pass the leisure time of this stroll."
