Jiang Chunai went to Reflection Cliff and found Mei Shengchi.
At that time, Mei Shengchi was grilling a chicken alone. When she heard Jiang Chunai call her, her eyes immediately lit up. “I was just worrying about not having anyone to order around, and you came. Quick, come over!”
Jiang Chunai smiled helplessly, and then walked quickly instead of cautiously.
As soon as she came over, Mei Shengchi handed her the roast chicken in her hand and said, “Alright, you continue. When it’s done, come into the cabin and call me.”
Under the moonlight, the faint blue moonlight shone on the crackling bonfire. The chicken, crudely skewered on a wooden stick, was half-burnt, and a faint fragrance wafted out.
If not for what Jiang Chunai was about to say, this would surely have been a joyful occasion. However, things did not turn out that way.
“No, Cliff Master, I came here because I have something to tell you,” Jiang Chunai hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
Mei Shengchi, who was staring intently at the half-cooked chicken, her relaxed brow instantly tightening, “What do you have to tell me?”
“If it’s about sect matters, you can wait. I haven’t enjoyed such a delicacy in a long time…” she grumbled, but then she heard Jiang Chunai’s serious words.
“Cliff Master, I saw Han Xiao today.”
The air suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Mei Shengchi glanced at her. “You saw Han Xiao? Where? In a dream?”
Jiang Chunai was at a loss for words, knowing that the Cliff Master did not believe her, otherwise she would not have said so.
“No, Cliff Master,” Jiang Chunai took a deep breath, and still decided to tell her everything. “Didn’t I go back to where I used to live today? That small cottage. I met Han Xiao there.”
She quickly told the Cliff Master how she had met Han Xiao.
“I told her to get lost, but she still wouldn’t leave. In the end, I said I would call someone to arrest her, and she wasn’t afraid.”
Mei Shengchi’s face was still contemptuous and disbelieving, but when she saw Jiang Chunai’s expression, she knew the truth of the matter.
“She’s really bold. The Crimson Smelting City must be quite boring… Look, she’s such a good demon king, the leader of the Covering Moon Sect, yet she has to run over and hide in your home,” Mei Shengchi said.
Jiang Chunai was silent.
Han Xiao did indeed value her very much now. But so what?
She hated her, she didn’t want to see her. But the existence of that snake egg made her quite unsure of what to do.
Jiang Chunai buried this secret in her heart, just as she had hidden the secret of her senior sister being a demon before. She did not tell anyone about the existence of the snake egg.
Of course, that included the Cliff Master.
“Cliff Master, what are your plans?” Jiang Chunai asked. “I let Han Xiao stay in my home. Do you think now is a good time to capture her?”
Capture Han Xiao?
That was not a wise move.
Mei Shengchi stared at her. “Do you think now is a good time to capture Han Xiao?”
Jiang Chunai was silent, only saying, “No.”
It was indeed not a good time.
Since Han Xiao was able to come here now, it was impossible for her to be unprepared. Secondly, the Bright Snow Sect was truly unprepared.
“Last time at the pact ceremony, so many immortal sects were invited, and Han Xiao didn’t even have the intention to kill us, yet she still hurt so many cultivators. To go and capture her rashly now is certainly not a wise move,” Mei Shengchi said.
Jiang Chunai agreed.
The two of them sat opposite each other like this, waiting for the moon and the bonfire to turn the half-cooked chicken golden-brown, and only then did Jiang Chunai finally speak. “Cliff Master, then when do you think we should capture Han Xiao?”
A demon like Han Xiao was naturally suited to be imprisoned in the Nether Realm for all eternity, and not be allowed to come out and harm the world.
But Mei Shengchi did not answer her question, only saying, “Seal her? Actually, more than this, I’m more concerned about… since she came to the Bright Snow Sect, it’s another appearance.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chunai’s heart suddenly tightened.
Yes, Han Xiao had come to the Bright Snow Sect again.
“Tell me, will the fifth Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation appear?”
This time it was Jiang Chunai’s turn to fall into a long silence. She swallowed hard.
Mei Shengchi shook her head gently and simply took the golden, fragrant, and crispy roast chicken from Jiang Chunai’s hand. “We can’t seal her now. Since she can still come to find you, it proves that she still has some feelings for you…”
She had some feelings for her, so she came to find her.
Jiang Chunai did not want to carefully ponder the meaning behind these words.
Wasn’t it the other way around? That was why she was so eager, hoping that someone would seal Han Xiao back into the Nether Realm.
Only then could they truly never see each other again.
“How about this, just let her stay by your side and observe what she wants to do later,” Mei Shengchi said, taking a bite of the roast chicken.
Jiang Chunai paused, and finally said, “Yes.”
This ill-fated relationship between her and Han Xiao, when would it finally end?
The wildly spreading lines on her wrist, and the snake egg that had appeared from nowhere.
It seemed it would never end.
“Everyone, it’s the sixth formation! We’ve found traces of the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation in the Hehuan Sect!”
This was in the council hall of the Mengling Immortal Manor.
As soon as one person’s voice fell, another person took over, “It’s already the sixth Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation. According to the sect leader’s speculation, isn’t that person about to be resurrected?”
Six ancient divine artifacts, one for each Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation.
Six divine artifacts… and now it was already the sixth Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation.
One person said, “In that case, that person should have been resurrected, but…”
At this point, her face seemed a bit off.
“Yes, that’s where the problem lies. After the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation in the Hehuan Sect this time, another group of cultivators died, but they just died, nothing else happened.”
“In other words, one divine artifact for one Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation didn’t work?”
The few people present looked at each other, understanding the other’s meaning.
Another person said, “Then are you all saying that the relationship between the divine artifacts and the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation is fake? But weren’t the previous rumors caused by Han Xiao?”
“Han Xiao broke her seal just to snatch the divine artifacts to resurrect her old lover. Now the sixth Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation has been initiated, and there’s no reaction from the Nether Realm side…”
The more they investigated, the more mysterious it became.
Finally, Yuanlin Zhenren, who had been silent all along, finally said, “Listen to me.”
Everyone looked at this elder.
“Perhaps, between Han Xiao, the divine artifacts, and the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation, there is no real connection between any of them.”
Everyone was horrified and whispered among themselves.
Impossible! Our Mengling Immortal Manor has spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money to investigate the divine artifacts and the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation. Now, with Yuanlin Zhenren’s words “no connection between any of them,” isn’t that negating all their efforts?
“Don’t you forget the fourth Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation…” Yuanlin Zhenren frowned. “The fourth time it happened in the Demon Swamp, very far from our immortal manor. It can be said that besides our immortal manor, no other immortal sect would know this news.”
“Secondly, we also didn’t hear any news of Han Xiao. Do you dare to say that this formation is related to Han Xiao?”
Someone seemed to disagree, and said, “But the fifth time must be related to Han Xiao. It was the time of the Ghost Gate, and many cultivators died again, all in a similar way, as if their souls and spiritual energy had been sucked dry.”
“There’s a problem with this time too,” a woman who had been sitting on the side playing with a coral bracelet on her wrist spoke up.
This woman was none other than Su Yanchen.
The leader of the Nine Sages of Mengling, a formation master.
At the same time, she had also participated in the last battle at the Ghost Gate.
Yuanlin Zhenren: “Yanchen, what do you have to say?”
Only then did Su Yanchen sit up straight and recount what she had encountered at the Ghost Gate.
“Everyone, that day I met Han Xiao, and I also met an interesting woman…”
“How so?” everyone asked.
Su Yanchen curled her lips. “I met Han Xiao in disguise, walking with a group from Yanqiu. Later I found Han Xiao with a compass. Originally, I and the other eight had set up a killing formation to wipe out the people of Yanqiu.”
“You were going to kill them all?”
“Better to kill by mistake than to let one go,” Su Yanchen frowned and slanted a glance at that person. “If we could kill Han Xiao, what were the lives of those few people from Yanqiu? And the problem doesn’t lie here.”
She said that after she had set up the formation, Han Xiao had suddenly revealed her true form and had directly taken away one of the women.
“Who was that woman?”
Su Yanchen shrugged. “I didn’t know who that woman was at first, but later I found out—later, when I was telling everyone about the existence of the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation, she was with Chang Xin and appeared in front of me again.”
“She is?”
“I don’t recognize her face,” Su Yanchen said. “But Jing Shun—that senior brother from the Bright Snow Sect, he told me in private that he didn’t like the eyes of the person with Chang Xin.”
“I asked him why, and he thought for a long time and told me…”
Everyone was already on the edge of their seats from Su Yanchen’s story. “What did he tell you?”
“He said that the eyes of the person with Chang Xin were as annoying as Jiang Chunai’s,” at this point, Su Yanchen laughed loudly. “What’s so annoying? I think her eyes are like glass, clear, and quite beautiful.”
Instantly, many speculations arose in everyone’s minds, all different.
“Jiang Chunai was reincarnated in Yanqiu. Her face changed, but her eyes didn’t. Han Xiao found Jiang Chunai through her expressive eyes?!”
“Even their hatred hasn’t been resolved, and Jing Shun also found the resurrected Jiang Chunai through her eyes?”
“My god, then why didn’t Han Xiao stop after finding the reincarnated Jiang Chunai? Because Jiang Chunai didn’t remember her anymore?”
Su Yanchen’s face darkened.
These fools, had they not been listening at all during the conversation?
“Obviously… Jiang Chunai is still alive,” she said, feigning relaxation. “Because there is a pond in Yanqiu called the Pond of Rebirth.”
Su Yanchen had made it so clear that there was no need for anyone to say more.
“Then-then what should we do? Jiang Chunai is still alive, and Han Xiao once abducted her, but the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation is still continuing…”
Su Yanchen nodded lightly. “Then there is only one possibility, which is what the Zhenren said just now, that between Han Xiao, the divine artifacts, and the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation, there is no relationship where one cannot do without the other.”
“Han Xiao’s goal has been achieved, but what about the divine artifacts and the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation?”
At this moment, a woman sitting on the side, her black hair roughly tied up with a hairband, her face pale and thin, spoke up, “What is the purpose of the divine artifacts?”
The person who spoke was none other than Su Jianqing. She was too sick and rarely attended any meetings.
“Divine artifacts, what purpose can divine artifacts have?” someone asked, confused. “Isn’t it to attract people to fight for them? Because with a divine artifact, its power can be used.”
Su Jianqing smiled. “Of course divine artifacts have a purpose. For example, to attract people to fight for them, to create wars, and the cultivators who die can be used as sacrifices for the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation.”
“As expected of my little sister,” Su Yanchen smiled with satisfaction. “To be able to think of this.”
In fact, if not for Jianqing’s chronic illness, there would naturally be one more among their Nine Sages of Mengling.
But Su Jianqing’s illness was too severe—last time she had broken into the Bright Snow Sect’s forbidden ground and had stolen their Zhaoyang Water in the chaos, and had barely survived.
“Cough, cough,” Su Jianqing coughed twice and said faintly, “I’m just stating some facts.”
The facts that Su Jianqing had revealed so lightly were shocking and frightening.
Someone said, “Who is the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation for?”
“This question, I’m afraid we’ll have to follow Han Xiao to find out,” Su Yanchen said. “How about this, Jianqing, have that childhood friend of yours, she’s still in the Bright Snow Sect, right, investigate thoroughly if there’s anything unusual in the sect.”
“Especially the new cultivators, whether it’s the undead Jiang Chunai or the transformed Han Xiao, if you know anything, come and tell us. Don’t miss a single one. If our Mengling Immortal Manor can defeat Han Xiao, how great would the credit be?”
Su Jianqing was still coughing. After she finished coughing, she finally said, “I know.”
“I will tell her,” she said.
Yan Linglong had been her follower since childhood. As long as she wanted, she had no reason to refuse.
Besides, this was not just for her, but also for the family, for the immortal manor.
She not only needed the Zhaoyang Water to extend her life for a while, she wanted to live for a long, long time.
Why, just because Han Xiao was a demon, could she live for thousands of years?
With a “creak,” the door axle turned, and Jiang Chunai carefully returned to the small cottage.
To her surprise, the room had been cleaned spotlessly.
Han Xiao was sitting obediently on the bed, with the snake egg by her side.
The room was quite peaceful. When she was outside, she had not felt any demonic energy flowing from within.
In other words, Han Xiao had listened to her and had hidden her own demonic energy and the snake egg’s demonic energy, just as she often did before.
After she had cleaned the room, she had sat obediently on the side of the bed, waiting for him to come back—
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chunai had a strange feeling in her heart.
Especially after seeing Han Xiao.
How should she put it? She felt a bit like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
As soon as this strange thought appeared in her mind, Jiang Chunai repeatedly tried to brush it away.
“Ah, Chunai, you’re back,” Han Xiao stood up upon hearing the sound, smiling happily. “I listened to you and cleaned the whole room.”
As she said, the layout and furnishings of the room had changed, clean and tidy.
She had now properly fulfilled the things she had been ordered to do, and was also humble and respectful.
Jiang Chunai had even less reason to curse her to get lost, and what’s more… there was also Mei Shengchi’s entrustment.
So Jiang Chunai also smiled. “Alright, you’ve done a good job.”
Like coaxing a child.
On Han Xiao’s jade-like face, a rare shyness appeared. “Really? I’ve never done these things before. If you think that me doing these things can make you happy, I can always be like this.”
It wouldn’t matter if she continued to do this. She just wanted to be by Jiang Chunai’s side, that was all.
“Always like this is what?” Jiang Chunai smiled, half-unfamiliar, half-familiar, and reached out her hand, lightly hooking Han Xiao’s chin, forcing her to come closer.
Their warm breaths covered her face, intertwined, ambiguous.
“Mmm?” Han Xiao was surprised and even more embarrassed. Her fair face was flushed red, as if a beautiful jade had been touched by a rosy cloud.
So close.
The two of them were so close that their moist, red lips seemed about to meet.
Her heart was pounding, and in her mind, it was like a chaotic spring thunder.
“Then will our Han Xiao change for the better?” Jiang Chunai laughed in a low voice, her hot breath spraying on her earlobe.
She was not very familiar with this, she only knew this.
The hot breath on Han Xiao’s earlobe, her hand also indistinctly wrapping around the woman’s soft waist.
Or somewhere else.
In any case, hearing Han Xiao’s chaotic breathing, was it enough?
Their palms touched, their breaths intertwined, an ambiguous kiss landed on her earlobe.
A moist tongue, licking the tender earlobe, followed by an an endless numbing tingle.
Stumbling, staggering.
With a “thud,” the two looked at each other with flushed faces.
Jiang Chunai had Han Xiao pinned under her, on the bed.
She shouldn’t have been able to push Han Xiao, but Han Xiao had stepped back, letting her step forward.
Just like yesterday.
Jiang Chunai also allowed her to have her way with her snake tail, or whatever else.
Inch by inch, she went deeper.
With every rub, she went deeper by a fraction, and tensed up by an inch, and only stopped after she was thoroughly soaked.
“Whatever you like, I will be,” Han Xiao whispered, her chest heaving, her clothes falling open, half-revealing.
Jiang Chunai bit her. “I didn’t like foxes before.”
Han Xiao was in pain, but she endured it and said, “Then I’ll never turn into a fox again.”
She knew what Jiang Chunai meant.
It was about that first time they had had that ambiguous affair.
At that time, she had turned into a fox… so now Jiang Chunai was saying she hated foxes.
She was probably still holding a grudge.
“Then tell me what you like, okay?” she said.
“Hmm, I like—”
Unfortunately, while Jiang Chunai was still thinking about what she wanted to say, a “knock, knock” sound came from outside the door. “Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Are you in there?”
“It’s us, Lan Xu and Zhi Zhi!”
Although they had cleverly avoided calling out Jiang Chunai’s name, these two annoying people were not shy about their own fawning intentions.
The kiss hadn’t even landed on Han Xiao’s lips, and she hadn’t even said what she liked about her, when everything came to an abrupt halt.
“Mmm, why did they come to find me?” Jiang Chunai murmured. Although her right hand was still holding Han Xiao’s, she had to answer the door.
So Jiang Chunai got up, tidied her clothes and hair, and at the same time, answered loudly, “I’m coming, you two wait!”
Han Xiao got up with a gloomy expression, her dark pupils so thick that they were opaque.
If anyone dared to part the topmost layer of black, they would be able to clearly see the unsated desire in her eyes.
She just stared at Jiang Chunai as she tidied her own clothes, her own hair.
Han Xiao did not tidy her own clothes, nor did she tidy her hair. She just sat there, sulking.
However, her sulking did not make Jiang Chunai pay more attention to her.
Jiang Chunai roughly tidied her own clothes and said, “Han Xiao, I think they’re probably going to come in. You hide somewhere, you understand?”
Han Xiao did not speak, just sulked.
Just angry.
However, Jiang Chunai did not care.
After she had given her instructions, she quickly walked out of the room to open the door for the two people outside.
Lan Xu and Zhi Zhi were standing at the door with smiles on their faces. “Chunai!”
Lan Xu’s voice was low, and she explained why she had not called her name just now.
Jiang Chunai: “I know, although there’s no one nearby, if someone were to hear, it wouldn’t be good. Alright, alright, you two come in first, we’ll talk inside.”
Lan Xu and Zhi Zhi followed Jiang Chunai into the room.
After closing the door, Jiang Chunai asked the two of them why they had come.
“Did you go to Reflection Cliff and ask the Cliff Master?”
Zhi Zhi nodded like she was pounding garlic. “Yes, yes! Sister Lan Xu and I don’t know anyone, so we could only go to the Cliff Master.”
Lan Xu took over, “Yes, it was the Cliff Master who sent us here. She said that Chunai used to live here. When we came here at that time, we almost got lost. Chunai, did you used to come back to live here every day?”
“Every day?”
Of course she didn’t come back every day.
Her past memories suddenly surged.
In the past, she would not go home for ten days or half a month to guard that Ice Soul Secret Realm.
“No, I have a small house on Mist-Shrouded Mountain. Although it’s mine, it’s actually for everyone to live in. But most of the time, I’m guarding the secret realm, so the small house is basically mine,” she said with a smile.
As she was speaking, Jiang Chunai heard a rustling sound from the inner room.
She had a bad feeling and remembered the extremely reluctant expression on Han Xiao’s face when she had left.
She had been tidying her clothes and hair, but Han Xiao had been indifferent.
Before she left, she had also told her to hide well, but now Han Xiao seemed not to have hidden well, and had even made a rustling sound?
What is she doing?
“Hey, you two sit here for a while. I’ll go to the inner room and get you something. I’ve made some food at home that can be preserved for a long time. If that doesn’t work, there’s definitely wine.”
Making excuses, Jiang Chunai walked into the inner room with swift steps.
However, the scene in the room shocked her: it was the same as when she had left.
Han Xiao had not moved at all, just sitting on the bed extremely unhappily.
Jiang Chunai: …?
But she had no time to be speechless. She subconsciously wanted to cast a spell to turn Han Xiao into a hedgehog-like small snake.
But Han Xiao’s cultivation and spiritual energy were unfathomable. Jiang Chunai had just raised her hand when she realized this problem.
Han Xiao still did not move, just pouted, looking at her with a resentful expression.
Why should she be wronged like this for two unknown creatures outside?
“Mmm? Mmm—” Han Xiao hadn’t been a wronged wife for long before Jiang Chunai made a decisive move, wrapping her in a blanket she had found somewhere, and at the same time, covering her mouth to prevent her from being exposed.
Han Xiao would not use her spiritual energy on Jiang Chunai.
At least not in this situation.
Her face was flushed from Jiang Chunai’s sudden attack, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes, full of doubt.
Jiang Chunai saw her face flush and finally let go, a slender finger covering her lips, signaling Han Xiao not to speak anymore.
Han Xiao was huffy but had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of angry saliva.
She was annoyed by the sound of that person’s voice—Lan Xu was still calling Jiang Chunai from outside, “Chunai, what are you looking for? Is it easy to find? Is it easy to get? Do you need me to come in and help you?”
So tactless, can the people of Yanqiu get out of the Bright Snow Sect?
“No need!” Jiang Chunai answered loudly, and at the same time, she stuffed Han Xiao further into the thick blanket, lowered her head to her forehead, and said very softly, “You hide well, and don’t move once you’re inside.”
Han Xiao’s expression was still unhappy, and she said with dissatisfaction, “Why? She’s here, why should I hide?”
Jiang Chunai was at a loss for words and looked into those dark pupils.
Some people looked cold and unfeeling. She had found the reason why they abided by the rules.
It was because they didn’t understand what normal feelings were in their hearts. When they found a rule that they could abide by, they would of course continue to abide by it.
When they didn’t need to abide by it, they would become like this.
She actually had the nerve to ask her why she should hide.
Jiang Chunai simply didn’t answer her.
“It’s fine if you don’t hide well. This room is all yours. I’ll go out with them. You hold the egg well too.”
Han Xiao had originally wanted to say something, but when she heard Jiang Chunai’s threat, she immediately and obediently shut her mouth, and finally let out a reluctant “mm.”
Hide well, then.
Anyway, it’s her who’s on Jiang Chunai’s bed now.
She was on her bed, and the other two unknown creatures could only stand there foolishly and finally get out of here.
However, Lan Xu saw that Jiang Chunai had been gone for a long time and actually came in to find her!
Jiang Chunai had just tucked in the blanket when she looked up and met Lan Xu.
“Ah—” Lan Xu scratched her head in embarrassment. “Chunai, I just came over to see what you were doing. How’s it going, did you find it?”
“Find-haven’t found it yet,” Jiang Chunai answered, her speech faltering because of the unstable factor behind her.
Lan Xu didn’t quite understand. “Can you still remember where it is? Is it underground? Do you need my help?”
“No need,” Jiang Chunai’s denial was very firm, which made Lan Xu blush with embarrassment.
She seemed to have been a bit offensive. She shouldn’t have come in so directly and asked Chunai so impolitely.
So Lan Xu decided not to say any more about helping Jiang Chunai find things. She tilted her head and saw a bulge on the mattress.
“Eh, Chunai, is that your blanket on the bed?” she asked.
Jiang Chunai, who had just relaxed, immediately tensed up again when she heard Lan Xu say this, and said “it’s nothing.”
“My blanket is thick because I’m afraid of the cold,” she said, and then she pulled Lan Xu and, without saying a word, walked out of the inner room, insistently starting another topic, “When the Cliff Master sent you over, did she ask you to do anything?”
“For example, you and Zhi Zhi. You’re fine, but Zhi Zhi is a demon.”
Listening to their conversation from under the thick blanket was not a pleasant thing.
Han Xiao curled up, holding the egg, and thought.
