141: A terrible way to smooth things over

Although she was greatly astonished,

Huang Qingxue did not question it; perhaps a miracle had occurred, but she had indeed killed this Beast Creature.

Roar—

In the images, the Beast Creature pounced forward with its bloody maw wide open the moment it saw Huang Qingxue.

In contrast, Huang Qingxue's small face turned pale with fright. She turned and ran, but how could her speed back then outrun an exotic beast of the Spirit Sea Realm?

"This is bad... I'm afraid she won't be able to escape."

"What exactly is going on... Could this be something happening somewhere right now?"

"Poor Little Girl, she's destined to end up in that beast's stomach."

Seeing this situation, the experts of both races could not bear to watch any longer.

But at the critical moment, a hand suddenly appeared in the image, throwing a coin-sized object at the Beast Creature, which pierced deeply into the exotic beast's body.

Roar—

In an instant, the exotic beast let out a roar of pain.

However, the fleeing Huang Qingxue had no idea what had happened; she only thought the Beast Creature was chasing her in a rage, and she continued to flee without daring to look back... "That's great, it seems someone stepped in to help her."

"This Little Girl is so lucky to meet a good person in the middle of nowhere... otherwise, she would have had zero chance of survival!"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"How could there have been someone?"

At this moment, Huang Qingxue was dumbfounded.

After all, in her memory, no one had helped her at that time; in the end, she had simply picked up a sharp sword and killed the exotic beast herself.

"Look, that exotic beast's speed seems to have slowed down."

"I see, that object just now contained a secret technique; it must have restricted the exotic beast's power and speed."

"He's preparing to kill the beast... No, wait... Why did he run ahead and throw the sword to the Little Girl?"

Everyone was once again greatly astonished.

They saw the large hand in the image pull out a sharp blade, but instead of attacking the beast, it moved ahead from the side to Huang Qingxue's inevitable path and threw the sword onto the ground.

At the same time, a voice also rang out in the image.

"I hope you can pick up the weapon... Let me see your courage!"

Whoosh—

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Northern Dark Region broke into a clamor.

"Wait... Why does his voice sound so familiar?"

"It sounds like Alliance Master Chen's... I'm not hearing things, am I... but Alliance Master Chen is clearly dead."

"I've got it, this isn't a real-time image... it's the Demon Emperor's memory!"

Everyone realized it instantly.

"Is this when Brother and Qingxue met?" Jiang Susu felt a slight chill in her heart as she turned to look at her good friend.

"How can this be...?"

At this moment, Huang Qingxue looked as if she were questioning her very existence.

Especially after seeing herself in the image pick up the weapon and turn to kill the chasing Beast Creature... In this moment, it felt as unreal as a dream.

That sword... he actually threw it to her?

Even if her heart was unwilling to believe it, as she watched her younger self kill the beast that had been weakened by the secret technique until it was completely dead... Huang Qingxue felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue—

So the reason she could escape the beast's mouth and successfully kill it... was all because of Chen Qingxuan's secret help?

"Wow, she actually killed the exotic beast?"

"This Little Girl is so young, I didn't expect her to have such courage... she has a limitless future!"

"It was still thanks to Alliance Master Chen suppressing the beast, otherwise... she would have been doomed."

"By the way, when did this happen? Back when Alliance Master Chen was slandered as an evil cultivator, why didn't the Little Girl he saved stand up to explain for him? It caused us to misunderstand Alliance Master Chen for so many years."

"..."

Hearing the voices rising from below, Huang Qingxue clenched her delicate fists in confusion.

How could this be?

Why was it different from what she thought?

At this time, Jiang Susu flew in front of her. "Qingxue, I told you that you misunderstood Brother... Quickly put away the heavenly phoenix pearl and stop!"

"No!"

Huang Qingxue decisively refused upon hearing this.

Meeting her friend's gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "Although this is the first time I've known he helped me... he definitely didn't save me for nothing... Look at what he did to me afterward."

Immediately after;

The image moved with Chen Qingxuan, gradually closing the distance between him and the Huang Qingxue who had just escaped the beast's mouth.

Then came the scene where the Little Girl mistook him for a bad person, and Chen Qingxuan forced a contract on her, making her call him 'Brother'.

Although these were images that existed in her memory, from Huang Qingxue's current perspective, the feeling was vastly different from before... "This Little Girl is quite vigilant."

"After all, wandering the world at such a young age, if one isn't on guard against others... they probably wouldn't even know how they died."

"Fortunately, she met Alliance Master Chen. Although Alliance Master Chen was scaring her, given her state at the time... he wouldn't have been able to control her without scaring her!"

"Isn't that the truth? Alliance Master Chen was protecting her, but the Little Girl just didn't appreciate it."

The crowd discussed animatedly.

The originally heavy mood lightened considerably upon seeing such a heartwarming scene.

"..."

Huang Qingxue, however, fell silent.

After all, she was no longer that Little Girl full of vigilance who couldn't distinguish good from bad. Reviewing the scene of her first encounter with Chen Qingxuan now, it was undeniable that up until this point... Chen Qingxuan had shown no sign of harming her.

What had seemed like coercion in her eyes back then... now, had actually become a form of strict protection!

Jiang Susu asked a Soul-piercing question, "Qingxue, is this the experience you mentioned back then... where he forced you to call him Brother?"

"I..."

Huang Qingxue was at a loss for words.

In the next moment, she waved her jade-like hand and put away the heavenly phoenix pearl, and the projected image vanished along with it—

Extraction stopped!

Seeing this, Jiang Susu immediately beamed with joy. "That's great, Qingxue. Now you believe that we misunderstood him, right? He really isn't a bad person."

"..."

Huang Qingxue bit her silver teeth and said with mixed emotions, "How long will it take for him to be resurrected... I have some words... I want to ask him to his face."

"Emm..." Jiang Susu pursed her lips and shook her head, saying truthfully, "I don't know either... I only know... he and Demon Lord Ji ate the lotus of life... but Senior Luo did not... Although the two of them can be reborn... I don't know how long we'll have to wait."

"Hmm?"

Huang Qingxue's beautiful face shifted expressions.

A moment later, after sensing the situation inside the heavenly phoenix pearl again, she said in surprise, "You said he and the Demon Lord of the Demon Emperor Palace both ate the lotus of life? Then why... do I only feel his remnant Soul strengthening... while the remnant Souls of that Demon Lord and Senior Luo haven't changed at all?"

"What?"

Jiang Susu was stunned.

After looking at Ji Qianyou from a distance, her heart suddenly constricted. "Oh no... Did she not eat the lotus of life... Was she lying to Qian You?"

In this moment, Jiang Susu finally realized that if Ji Li had eaten the lotus of life... she wouldn't have let Luo Yin enter the Void Fissure first earlier.

This was... a lie to comfort her daughter!

"Qingxue, we can't tell Qian You about this... wait until Brother is resurrected to talk about it." Jiang Susu took Huang Qingxue's hand, explaining the situation while urgently instructing her.

Huang Qingxue was also greatly shocked. "I didn't expect the Yao Race... to actually have someone so loyal and righteous."

Whoosh—

At this time, Ji Qianyou saw the image stop and flew over as well.

"My mother..."

Before Ji Qianyou could finish her sentence;

Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu exchanged a glance, as if they had made some kind of decision. "Don't worry, they are doing well inside the heavenly phoenix pearl... the heavenly phoenix pearl can maintain the Soul body for a long time... I will take good care of them."

Phew—

Hearing this promise, Ji Qianyou breathed a sigh of relief in relief.

But in the next moment, she couldn't help but scrutinize Huang Qingxue and ask, "Don't you hate my Revered Master very much? Why are you willing to help us?"

"I..."

Huang Qingxue lowered her head, not knowing how to respond.

Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Susu stepped forward with great responsibility to smooth things over. "Qian You, don't worry. Actually, her hate isn't what you think. She just wanted to stuff her foot into your Revered Master's mouth... but Brother wouldn't eat it."
