682: Chapter 93 Worries and Contingency Plans

"I hope nothing unexpected happens while she is gone."

After Tang Xuejian was taken away by several guiding celestial maidens, Hong Kui returned to the room and couldn't help but mutter.

"How could that be?" Lan Kui, who was nearby, heard this and asked back, then affirmed, "The method from Elder Brother Meng has a high feasibility; Brother and Sister Xue Jian will definitely be able to use it to find Xi Yao. Even if it doesn't work, Elder Brother Meng has also prepared a backup plan, so it will surely be fine."

Unexpectedly, Hong Kui said, "You misunderstood; the 'unexpected' I referred to doesn't mean whether or not they can find Xi Yao."

"Then what is it?" Lan Kui asked.

A flash of red light flickered in Hong Kui's pupils as she said something shocking, "What I'm worried about is that after Xi Yao appears and sees Tang Xuejian and Brother acting intimately, she might be blinded by jealousy, attack Tang Xuejian, and kill her!"

"Ah?" Lan Kui was greatly shocked, then whispered, "This... that shouldn't be possible, right?"

Hong Kui replied, "How is it not possible? You are also a woman, so you should be very clear that when women get jealous, they are unreasonable."

As she spoke, she gave a direct example, "If there were another woman cuddling, kissing, or even sleeping with Meng Li."

"Could you tolerate it?"

"I certainly couldn't, I would shoot her dead with an arrow immediately."

Lan Kui felt this made sense, but soon added, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with you and Elder Brother Meng being that way."

Hong Kui said, "That is because you and I are originally one entity. If it weren't for Meng Li separating us, we would even share the same body. You are me, and I am you. And the emotion of jealousy is generated towards others; no one would be jealous of themselves."

"Therefore, you feel there is nothing wrong with me being close to Meng Li, and I am the same; I will not be jealous because you are close to him."

"But Tang Xuejian and Xi Yao are not like that."

Lan Kui was silent for two seconds before saying, "But Brother is there; if it really doesn't work out, there is still Elder Brother Meng's backup plan. Elder Brother Meng said that if Brother and the others couldn't find Xi Yao, they could use that backup plan, and if they encounter danger, they can also use it."

Hong Kui said softly, "That is precisely why I am only worried. I don't know how much longer it will take for Brother and the others to finish things."

Lan Kui said, "There is no need to worry about this; worrying is useless. Time in the Divine Realm and the human world is different, there is no fixed deadline, and even Elder Brother Meng cannot determine when Brother and the others will return. All we can do is wait; since there is nothing else to do, there is no need to rush."

Hong Kui pursed her lips, "Even if we aren't in a rush, I'm afraid that before Brother returns, you will have already been 'devoured' by Meng Li."

"Ah?" Lan Kui didn't keep up with this jump in thought, but after realizing what was said, she hurriedly defended, "No way? Elder Brother Meng, he, he..."

She got stuck on the word "he" for a long time, causing the rest of her words to vanish.

Because Lan Kui thought about her intimate interactions with Meng Li during this period, which were indeed not far from being "devoured" as Hong Kui described, she was speechless for a moment. Instead, her pretty face gradually flushed, turning red to the roots of her ears.

In the end, she could only mutter softly, "Aren't you the same?"

Hong Kui: "..."

After some time, Jing Tian sent good news through the mystic light mirror.

He and Tang Xuejian used Meng Li's method to successfully find Xi Yao among the flowers and plants, and successfully obtained the wind spirit pearl from her.

It wouldn't be long before they could complete the task and return to the human world.

This put Meng Li, Hong Kui, Lan Kui, Zi Xuan, and Xu Maoshan much more at ease.

However, after another period of time, Tang Xuejian conveyed some not-so-good news: out of sympathy and to thank Xi Yao, Tang Xuejian and Jing Tian requested the Heavenly Emperor to turn Jing Tian back into Feipeng to meet with Xi Yao, in order to fulfill her longing for Feipeng.

But unexpectedly, not long after Jing Tian turned back into Feipeng, Chonglou caught the scent and came looking for him...

Afterward, Meng Li sensed that the backup plan he had given to Tang Xuejian had been used.

In the Divine Realm, beside the Heavenly Pool.

Tang Xuejian crushed the jade talisman that Meng Li had given her.

A streak of light flew out from the jade talisman, landed on the ground, and revealed a figure; it was Meng Li.

To be precise, it was one of his Incarnations.

Seeing Meng Li appear, Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian were greatly surprised and delighted.

"Elder Brother Meng."

"Mr. Meng."

The Xu Changqing opposite them was also surprised: "Brother Meng?!"

Meng Li, who appeared in the state of an Incarnation, was a bit confused.

Wasn't it said that Chonglou came to find Jing Tian for a fight?

Where is Chonglou?

Meng Li didn't see Chonglou, but he did spot a blurry black-purple figure next to Xu Changqing.

It was like a demon ghost sucking human essence, absorbing one after another threads of anger-like energy from Xu Changqing.

With a quick thought, Meng Li understood in his heart.

The battle between Chonglou and Jing Tian had ended; now the plot was that Xu Changqing had released the Evil Sword Immortal.

Why this happened is not important.

What is important now is to get the Evil Sword Immortal back into the box.

Thinking of this, Meng Li reached out his hand toward the Evil Sword Immortal.

Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals!

It worked!

The Evil Sword Immortal, who was absorbing power from Xu Changqing, was instantly shocked: "What did you do to me?"

Meng Li couldn't be bothered to answer and directly commanded, "Shut up, get back into the box!"

Once the instruction was issued, the Evil Sword Immortal immediately uncontrollably followed the command and flew back into the ancient Seal box.

Jing Tian, Tang Xuejian, and Xu Changqing were very surprised.

Then, Meng Li closed the box and reapplied the Seal.

Xu Changqing thought Meng Li would directly purify the Evil Sword Immortal, and thinking of the Shushan Five Elders, he wanted to stop him, but as soon as he moved, he found he couldn't. He could only watch helplessly, and for a moment, he couldn't help but be consumed by rage, his eyes bloodshot.

Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian, however, breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, to the surprise of the three, after Meng Li applied the Seal to the box, he didn't put it into the Heavenly Pool but just set it aside.

Immediately after, he condensed a ray of purifying spiritual light and pointed it into the center of Xu Changqing's brows.

After a few breaths, the bloodshot veins in Xu Changqing's eyes disappeared, the rage in his heart subsided, and he regained clarity, though he still couldn't move.

At this moment, Meng Li spoke up: "Speak, what is going on? No need to mention what happened before, start from when Chonglou came to the Divine Realm."

Jing Tian responded, "When that Red Hair came, I was still Feipeng, and without a word, I rushed over to fight him. At first, I couldn't beat him. Later, Pig Woman intentionally said some things to make me jealous, and after I was stimulated, my mana surged, and I beat that Red Hair."

"Then that Red Hair left."

"The matter of the battle between Feipeng and him back then can be considered officially over."

"The wind spirit pearl has also been obtained, and our only remaining task for coming to the Divine Realm is to put the box into the Heavenly Pool."

"Originally, I did indeed want to find a way to get White Tofu away, but he said that one must see things through to the end. This was his last task as a Shushan Disciple; afterward, he was going to leave Shushan to fly away and live happily with Zi Xuan. So, he insisted on putting the box into the Heavenly Pool with me."

"I couldn't sway him, so I could only take a step back, thinking to cut the Gordian knot quickly, and put the box in as soon as we reached the Heavenly Pool."

"I didn't expect that as soon as the box was taken out, the thing inside shouted that if it died, the five old men would also die."

"When White Tofu heard this, he stopped me, and then the thing inside the box seized the opportunity to reveal its connection with the five old men. In a fit of anger, White Tofu attacked me and released the thing inside the box."

"Then, after you arrived in the Divine Realm, why didn't you try to get Daoist Xu away at the first opportunity and put the box into the Heavenly Pool?"
