133: Heavenly Phoenix Pearl

The next day.

A haggard-looking Chen Qingxuan walked out of the Sleeping Hall.

Today's sun was exceptionally dazzling; unconsciously, tears slid down his face.

"Mm~ so comfortable."

At this time, Jiang Susu also walked out, stretching.

Compared to the listless Chen Qingxuan, she was like a sunflower blooming toward the sun, tilting her head and smiling vibrantly.

"Brother is so amazing!"

"Heh~" Chen Qingxuan wanted to cry but had no tears upon hearing this. "Brother isn't amazing... Brother is almost dying."

"How annoying~ I'm the one who's almost dying."

"Susu... let's get down to business first!"

"Yes, Big Brother~"

...After meeting up with Luo Yin, the three of them didn't waste words and headed to Central State using their mounts.

On the way, Luo Yin proactively stood by Jiang Susu's side, her expression full of indifference toward Chen Qingxuan.

"..."

Chen Qingxuan curled his lips;

He didn't make a fool of himself and instead took out a Cultivation Technique to study.

Jiang Susu asked curiously, "Brother, what Cultivation Technique is this?"

While reading the technique, Chen Qingxuan said, "It's a life-saving Cultivation Technique. In critical moments... it can play a huge role."

Before Jiang Susu could speak;

Luo Yin suddenly snorted, "Cowardly and afraid of death!"

"Hmm?" Chen Qingxuan raised an eyebrow at her and said helplessly, "Can't you just say what's on your mind? Why be so sarcastic?"

Jiang Susu asked in confusion, "What is going on with you two?"

"It's nothing." Luo Yin crossed her arms and turned her face away. "I just don't understand... how someone like him can have this kind of strength."

"I got it from whoring with women... are you convinced?"

Chen Qingxuan spoke with righteous confidence.

"There's a reason you're considered an evil cultivator," Luo Yin said without turning her head.

Jiang Susu frowned and said, "I don't care what's going on between you two, but don't forget you're pretending to be Dao Companions. You absolutely cannot act like this after meeting Qingxue... Her brain is much sharper than mine!"

The two stopped bickering... Central State, Hundred Flowers Tower.

Inside the room.

Jiang Susu took the initiative to introduce them, "Qingxue, this is Senior Luo, who went to the Demon Alliance Blessed Land with me. After she heard you wanted to meet her, she immediately had me bring her over."

Huang Qingxue cupped her delicate hands, "Senior Luo, I have long heard of your great name."

Luo Yin smiled faintly. "Actually, I've heard of you for a long time as well, especially your original intention for founding the Heavenly Dao Alliance. It is truly admirable."

"Senior Luo, you flatter me." Huang Qingxue was flattered and smiled. "Speaking of which, I should have invited you to the Heavenly Dao Alliance as a guest sooner. Unfortunately, Senior Chen didn't mention you back then, and I only learned of your existence recently."

Luo Yin glanced at Chen Qingxuan and said meaningfully, "Qingxue, although this is our first time meeting, I did some inquiries about you before coming. They all said you're not easy to get along with... but looking at you now, I think you're a very nice girl. If it weren't for certain people being too wicked... you're actually quite approachable."

"Hmm?"

Huang Qingxue was slightly stunned and smiled sheepishly. "Not at all... it's really not like that."

"Cough!"

Chen Qingxuan coughed lightly and interjected, "Umm, Qingxue... I heard from Susu that you invited us here this time to discuss a plan to deal with the evil cultivators?"

Jiang Susu echoed, "Qingxue, now that Senior Chen and Senior Luo are here, can you tell us your plan?"

"Yes!"

Huang Qingxue became serious.

Meeting the curious gazes of the three, she said slowly, "Now that the evil cultivators have joined forces with the Demon Alliance and completely become helpers of the Yao Race, it poses a great threat to our Heavenly Dao Alliance and the entire Human Race. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative. So, I've decided to first sow discord between the evil cultivators and the Demon Alliance."

Chen Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. "How will you sow discord?"

"There are many ways..."

Subsequently, Huang Qingxue elaborated on various strategies.

Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan cried out that it was too much. "No, you even came up with the claim of using lolis as Cauldrons... isn't this kind of slander too absurd?"

"Slander?" Huang Qingxue was dismissive and retorted, "Senior Chen, perhaps you don't understand how low that evil cultivator's bottom line is. This isn't slander at all, because... I once met a little girl who was orphaned and displaced. Just because she was somewhat pretty, she was seized by the evil cultivator at a young age and raised as a Cauldron. If she hadn't luckily escaped his clutches... she would probably be living a life worse than death by now."

"Wait...?"

Chen Qingxuan looked like he was questioning his life;

Who are you talking about?

Luo Yin's expression shifted as she listened. "Is he really that perverted?"

"I'm being conservative," Huang Qingxue nodded. "There is nothing that evil cultivator can't do, only things we can't imagine."

"F*ck!"

Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but swear.

Meeting Huang Qingxue's surprised gaze, he quickly said in the next moment, "Cough... I really did underestimate how low that evil cultivator could go. He's truly worse than a beast... But Qingxue, we've known about the evil cultivator's character for a long time. Why have you suddenly decided to sow discord between him and the Demon Alliance now? Right, Xiao Luo?"

Xiao Luo?

Luo Yin rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

Although she was very reluctant to be called that, she wasn't muddled when it came to important matters. "Yeah, Qingxue, I don't understand either... We should be biding our time and building our strength to completely eliminate the evil cultivator one day. Moving now... even if we can sow discord between him and the Demon Alliance, I'm afraid it won't have much of an impact on that bastard, right?"

When she said the word "bastard," Luo Yin specifically glanced at Chen Qingxuan.

"As long as we succeed in sowing discord, we'll be halfway there."

"Why?"

"To tell you the truth, Senior Luo."

Huang Qingxue took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, "I have a very powerful Divine Artifact in my hands, which is currently being repaired. As long as that Divine Artifact can be fully repaired, I will definitely be able to subdue the evil cultivator. But I'm afraid that while the Divine Artifact is being repaired, the evil cultivator will first unite with the Demon Alliance to launch an attack on our Human Race. So, sowing discord between him and the Demon Alliance is just to delay their actions and buy us more time."

"As long as I'm given a bit more time... even if he has three heads and six arms... I can still trample him under my feet!"

At the last sentence, Huang Qingxue stomped her delicate foot.

Thump—

Chen Qingxuan's heart twitched violently.

He had already learned about the repair of the Divine Artifact from Jiang Susu, and he knew it was a very powerful treasure.

But looking at Huang Qingxue's confident demeanor now, he feared that the power of that Divine Artifact... was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"F*ck this Little Pitiful One..."

A bold thought popped into Chen Qingxuan's mind;

At this moment, he really wanted to snatch that Divine Artifact away—not because he wanted it for himself, but because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it once it was repaired.

Unfortunately, the Talent Contract could only return effects to him and couldn't yet copy and paste physical objects; otherwise, he could have had one too.

At this time, Luo Yin, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Qingxue, can you let me see that Divine Artifact?"

"Hmm?"

Huang Qingxue was stunned for a moment;

But after glancing at Jiang Susu, she still nodded with a smile. "Of course, please have a look, Senior Luo."

With a stir of her Divine Thought, a palm-sized object appeared on Huang Qingxue's palm. It was entirely golden-yellow and shaped like a crystal ball.

Upon seeing this object, Luo Yin instantly lost her composure.

"Is it really the heavenly phoenix pearl?"
