408: An absurd scene

Thinking too much is useless; An Haoran decided to go to Great Sun City in person to see just how deep Liu Xuan was hiding.

'When this kid first appeared, he showed off a bit of Talisman Drawing out of thin air. I thought he was just a young man full of hot air and wanted to suppress him a bit. I didn't expect that he wasn't full of hot air, but rather too low-key!'

A Genius should shine brilliantly like a star. An Haoran had seen plenty of arrogant Geniuses, but a Genius like Liu Xuan who preferred to hide and be low-key was rare.

Regardless of Liu Xuan's purpose for hiding, as long as he was truly a Genius, he had value, and everything else could be discussed.

...

Great Sun City.

Artifact Refining Workshop.

Liu Xuan was teaching An Yunxi hands-on how to design a brand-new battleship: the sun battleship.

The sun battleship, an upgraded version of the great sun flying boat, started at the third-rank flying boat level, and its power was terrifying.

Compared to ordinary third-rank flying boats, the sun battleship had more functions, was more complex, and was also larger.

It did not pursue speed, but rather defense and functionality. It was equivalent to a mobile fortress, best suited for guarding Spiritual Vein nodes. When the battleship connected with the earth veins, it directly formed a Formation, saving even the need for a city defense Formation.

Besides defense, if the sun battleship were formed into a fleet, its offensive capabilities would also be impressive. One could say its performance surpassed most Flying Boats of the same rank on the market.

However, everything was still in the design stage, and no finished product had been refined yet; there was only a framework blueprint.

An Yunxi rested her chin in one hand, gazing infatuatedly at Liu Xuan as he wrote and drew, explaining profound Artifact Refining principles that she did not quite understand.

A serious man was the most attractive. She couldn't help but lean in and kiss Liu Xuan on the cheek.

"Junior Brother, what you're explaining is too difficult; I don't understand~"

"Can you go a bit slower?"

Liu Xuan stopped his Talisman Drawing brush and asked with a smile: "Senior Sister, who did you learn to seduce people from? You weren't like this before."

"Do I need to learn from anyone?" An Yunxi pouted, her tone carrying a bit of petty emotion. "Aren't those Concubines in your backyard all like this? I learned it without even needing to study."

"Jealous?" Liu Xuan reached out and pinched her little face, really liking this little look of hers right now.

An Yunxi could be looked at and touched, but not eaten. At first, Liu Xuan found it unbearable, but later he slowly began to enjoy this ambiguous feeling.

An Yunxi approached him cautiously but dared not go too far. She would get jealous of him because of other women, and a while later, she would forgive him. Liu Xuan had grown tired of just eating meat; this ambiguous feeling was actually more intoxicating.

The design of the sun battleship was extremely profound. Even knowing An Yunxi didn't understand, Liu Xuan still explained it to her, just to play with her and tease her on purpose.

"I am jealous!" Seeing Liu Xuan pinching her face like he was teasing a child, An Yunxi was truly a bit angry. She grabbed his hand and bit down on it.

"Ouch~"

Liu Xuan's Physical Body was comparable to a Peak Golden Core Yao Beast. How could she possibly bite through it? Instead, she hurt her teeth, and her little face revealed a trace of pain.

"Are you hurt?" Liu Xuan hurriedly held her little face and opened her mouth to check. Only after finding there was no major issue did he feel relieved.

"Are you a puppy? You like to bite people."

An Yunxi's eyes were slightly red with grievance, and she stared at Liu Xuan for a while. "I want to bite!"

After speaking, she pounced on Liu Xuan and kissed toward Liu Xuan's mouth.

His hand was too hard to bite, but other places were soft; she didn't believe she couldn't bite those.

As they kissed, the little bit of grievance in An Yunxi's heart vanished entirely, turning slowly into passion.

Liu Xuan reached out to stop her little hands, reminding her: "Senior Sister, if we continue, we'll be crossing the line. I won't be able to answer to your father."

An Yunxi stopped. Her flushed little face was streaked with two tear tracks, looking extremely cute.

Liu Xuan stared blankly for two seconds. The more An Yunxi looked like this, the more his heart was moved, so he decided to play a bit more recklessly.

Gently pushing An Yunxi away, he straightened his robes and said helplessly: "The fire you lit will have to be extinguished by someone else later; why bother?"

Liu Xuan stood up, preparing to leave, but An Yunxi grabbed him and pressed him back into his seat.

"The fire I lit, I must extinguish myself!"

"You..."

Liu Xuan was startled, suddenly realizing this girl didn't seem to want to follow the previous script.

"If I can't... do that, I'll just extinguish the fire in another way!" After speaking, she crouched down and reached up to tie her hair back...

"Hiss~"

Watching An Yunxi's actions, Liu Xuan's heart rate suddenly doubled.

...

Just as An Yunxi was preparing to pull at Liu Xuan's clothes, a terrifying and violent aura suddenly appeared in the room, and an angry roar reverberated.

"What are you doing!!!"

"What kind of indecency is this!!"

Liu Xuan's pupils shrank violently, and his entire body's Qi and blood surged crazily; he almost exploded into action.

This impulse was instantly suppressed, and his Qi and blood rapidly receded, presenting a state of readiness without unleashing.

Looking across the room, a man and a woman had suddenly appeared. Both were acquaintances: True Lord Haoran and Senior Sister Yun Miao.

"Ma...Revered Master!!"

Liu Xuan stood up and straightened his robes, pretending to be calm: "Why are you here?"

"Things are not what you see; listen to my sophistry... No, listen to my explanation!"

"Father!"

"Sister!"

An Yunxi also hurriedly stood up and straightened her clothes, then stood in front of Liu Xuan and said: "That's right! It was me who forced Junior Brother Liu; it has nothing to do with him."

As soon as these words left An Yunxi's mouth, True Lord Haoran was so angry his nose was almost crooked. He couldn't suppress his aura, and a strong wind swept through the room.

"Father, calm your anger. Things haven't reached that point yet; please calm down!"

If it weren't for Yun Miao holding onto True Lord Haoran, the situation might truly have spiraled out of control.

"What point could it possibly reach!!"

"You tell me what point it could reach?!"

True Lord Haoran flicked his sleeves. Regarding that scene just now, if he had arrived even a moment later, he didn't dare to imagine what it would have been like...

He was the dignified Head of the South Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect, a Nascent Soul True Lord, and had once been a teacher at the Gentlemans Academy. He had always prided himself on adhering to etiquette. How could his daughter be so... absurd!

Seeing her father was in a fit of rage and that there was no room to explain the absurd thing her sister and Liu Xuan had done, Yun Miao thought for a moment and quickly changed the subject, pointing at Liu Xuan and demanding:

"Liu Xuan! Aren't you at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage? Why is there an aura of Golden Core magic power on you?"

Yun Miao and True Lord Haoran had actually been in Great Sun City for a while. Upon seeing the Yin Yang Harmony Transformation Grand Formation outside, as well as that Great Sun condensed by the Great Sun True Fire, True Lord Haoran had been shocked for quite a while.

True Lord Haoran had originally been studying the Formation. He had also studied Third-rank High-grade Formations. The Yin Yang Harmony Transformation Grand Formation was only Third-rank Low-grade, but it was extremely ingenious. If not for his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, he wouldn't have been able to see through it so easily.

Just as he was happily studying along the Formation patterns, he suddenly saw the absurd scene in the Artifact Refining Workshop, which was why he had forcibly passed through the Formation barrier to descend inside.

It was only at the moment of their arrival that Liu Xuan noticed them. Under stress, his Qi, blood, and magic power surged, and his Early Golden Core Stage cultivation was consequently exposed.

True Lord Haoran had been blinded by rage just now, but after being reminded by Yun Miao, he immediately reacted.

"That's right! How could you, kid, possibly have the cultivation of a Golden Core True Person?!"
