402: Chapter 402 Everything is proceeding according to plan

King Xuanyin gave a soft hmph in her heart.

She had come tonight specifically to figure out how Lin Yun was affecting her.

Now she had seen it, and she had figured it out.

She had confirmed the existence and transmission method of the special Life Origin.

But this was far from enough.

She needed more observation and more data.

Everything was going according to plan.

She had allowed herself to be discovered on purpose.

It was to lure King Feiyun and Ziyi into the trap.

One was a Rank 9, the other a Rank 8.

The Rank 9 was also a woman with perfect appearance.

Adding herself, a perfect Rank 9 woman, and Ai Wei, a Rank 7 with perfect looks.

All the control groups were now in place.

Originally, Mo Li was also a target, but unfortunately, that little one didn't follow her after leaving the Lin Family Manor, otherwise...

King Xuanyin felt some regret; Su Xin had left too early.

Otherwise, if she were here, the control group would have been perfect.

Although not perfect, the existing samples were already sufficient.

She was Rank 9, possessed the Xuanyin Charm Body, a special Physique, and perfect looks.

King Feiyun was also Rank 9, had a similarly special Physique, and perfect looks.

Ai Wei was Rank 7, of the Cat-Ear tribe, and had perfect looks.

Ziyi was Rank 8, had lived for over seven thousand years, and possessed a steady Heart-Nature.

King Xuanyin hesitated no longer; with a slight movement of her figure, she took the initiative to move closer to the wedding chamber.

...

Ai Wei was struggling to maintain her composure, which was on the verge of collapsing, when she suddenly felt the person beside her move.

She instinctively turned her head and saw the figure of her Revered Master moving forward.

The movement was slight, but the direction was clear.

It was heading straight toward the wedding chamber.

Ai Wei's tail went straight as a rod with a "whoosh," and she looked as if she had been struck by lightning:

"Revered Master! W-where are you going?!"

King Xuanyin did not turn back, her tone as calm as water:

"Getting closer so I can see more clearly."

"B-but inside there...!"

Ai Wei's voice had gone out of tune.

King Xuanyin still did not stop.

Ai Wei stood rooted to the spot, stiff as a wooden stake, unable to advance or retreat.

King Feiyun was startled by this scene.

Her gaze locked onto King Xuanyin's figure, her voice turning a few degrees colder:

"What are you doing?"

King Xuanyin turned to look at her and smiled:

"What do you think?"

King Feiyun moved, instantly shifting to King Xuanyin's side.

The distance was now half of what it had been before.

She raised her hand, a thread of extremely fine energy condensing at her fingertips, as if she could strike at any moment.

Ziyi also followed in sync, locking her aura onto them.

However, King Xuanyin did not dodge or evade, simply looking at King Feiyun's face, which was now inches away.

Her tone carried a leisurely teasing quality:

"Don't be nervous, Sister Feiyun. I'm really just getting closer to see. It's not clear from far away."

King Feiyun said coldly: "You already saw very clearly just a moment ago."

"Not clearly enough." King Xuanyin's smile did not fade.

"You have to understand, I'm from the Tianlang Empire; we're very curious. When we see something novel, we always want to get closer to study it."

"If you get any closer, I will strike."

"Then go ahead and strike."

King Xuanyin spread her hands lazily.

"Anyway, I haven't done anything. If you hit me, how will you explain it to King Blood Axe later? He's the one who invited you to 'keep an eye' on me."

King Feiyun pressed her lips together, not striking immediately.

She knew King Xuanyin was right; striking rashly in this situation would put her at a disadvantage instead.

Moreover, King Xuanyin had indeed not done anything out of line.

She had only moved a little closer.

She hadn't even let her aura affect the wedding chamber.

She couldn't just start a fight with her over this.

King Feiyun ultimately did not stop her.

King Xuanyin took the opportunity to move a little closer.

This time, she came directly into the wedding chamber.

After she got closer, the flow of those wisps of special Life Origin indeed changed.

They became more abundant and faster.

It was as if they were being attracted by some force and were actively surging toward her.

King Xuanyin lowered her gaze, sensing the faint, cool aura gradually adhering to the outer layer of her own Life Origin, and her heart became clear.

She turned her head to look at King Feiyun again.

King Feiyun was forced to follow as well.

Standing less than a zhang away from her.

Her expression was tense, her gaze firmly locked on her.

It seemed that if she made even the slightest unusual movement, she would strike immediately.

Yet at the same time, those wisps of faint special Life Origin were also drifting toward King Feiyun unknowingly, in greater quantity and faster than before.

King Xuanyin saw it clearly.

But King Feiyun herself was completely unaware.

All her attention was focused on guarding against King Xuanyin; she had no time to spare for herself.

King Xuanyin suppressed the smile at the corners of her lips.

She continued to observe.

The flow and distribution ratio of the Origin became clearer and clearer.

The closer, the more beautiful, and the higher the cultivation, the more it merged.

Needless to say, Fei Xue and Feiying were always the ones with the most merging.

After all, the distance between them was negative.

As for the four people hiding in the Void Realm.

The one with the most merging, unsurprisingly, was herself.

Next was King Feiyun.

Then came Ai Wei.

Although her cultivation was weaker than Ziyi's, she had a special Physique and perfect looks, making her slightly prettier than Ziyi.

Ziyi ranked last, with neither much nor little merging.

King Xuanyin silently noted this result in her heart.

Her expression remained composed.

She glanced at King Feiyun.

She looked again at the tireless figure in the wedding chamber.

Then she looked at Ai Wei beside her, whose tail was tense and whose face was so red it was practically smoking.

Finally, she completely confirmed one thing:

This thing, as long as one gets close, it will contaminate you, and the more you watch, the more addictive it becomes.

The corners of her lips curved slightly, her gaze falling on the lively scene behind the transparent wall of the wedding chamber, and she smiled faintly.

...

The night passed just like that.

When the sky began to turn whitish-gray, the candles in the wedding chamber finally burned out completely.

Lin Yun held Fei Xue and Feiying, and the figures of the three gradually quieted down in the morning light.

In the room next door.

Su Yingxue and her group were also getting up and leaving one after another.

With smiles on their faces that suggested they were still thinking about it, they walked out in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.

No one knew that in the Void Realm above their heads, four people had been watching for the whole night.

King Xuanyin withdrew her gaze and let out a soft sigh of relief.

She had seen enough.

What needed to be confirmed had been confirmed, what needed to be observed had been observed, and the results of the control group were clearly laid out before her eyes.

She straightened her moon-white robes with satisfaction and turned her head to look at King Feiyun beside her.

King Feiyun's expression was still steady, maintaining the composure of a Rank 9 powerhouse perfectly.

But Ziyi, who was half a step away from her side, although her expression was normal, had earlobes that were slightly flushed.

And Ai Wei was completely done for.

She was hanging on King Xuanyin's arm, her legs as soft as noodles.

Her cat ears were flopped limply against the top of her head, and her tail hung lifelessly behind her.

Her eyes were vacant, and her lips were moving.

It was as if she was murmuring something, or perhaps she couldn't say anything at all.

King Xuanyin looked down at Ai Wei and reached out to gently pat her on the back of the head:

"Let's go back."

Ai Wei looked up at her, her eyes drifting, her voice trembling:

"Revered Master... I..."

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

King Xuanyin raised her eyes and smiled in King Feiyun's direction:

"Then this little sister will take her leave. Thank you for keeping me company tonight, Sister."

King Feiyun did not respond, only looked at her coldly and retreated half a step.

King Xuanyin did not linger, and with Ai Wei, stepped into the Void Realm passage.

Disappearing completely.

King Feiyun stood where she was, watching that moon-white figure disappear into the morning light, her brows slowly knitting together.

She looked down at the back of her hand.

There was no trace of anything on it, yet she inexplicably felt a faint, cool sensation on the back of her hand.

As if it had been brushed by something extremely light and soft.

She shook her head and suppressed that thought.

She said to Ziyi: "Let's go."

Ziyi followed her pace.

The two disappeared into the Void Realm together.

The morning light had just appeared, and the red silk of the Lin Family Manor fluttered gently in the wind.

A new day had arrived.

Everything was quiet and beautiful, as if nothing had happened last night.
