Chapter 226: Chapter 132: Forgetting Passion (2)

Originally, Chu Xuan thought that Gu Haitang had let go of her suspicions about him and Pei Shurou, but unexpectedly she suddenly transmitted her voice and asked, "Why do I smell her scent on your back?"

"And I’ve smelled it, Pei Zhenren’s back has your scent as well. Could it be that besides hugging each other, you guys also carry each other?"

Chu Xuan’s vision darkened for a moment, "Earlier, when I laid Pei Zhenren flat on the ground, I used my old clothes to cushion her. It’s normal, right?"

He thought to himself, that was close. The clothes stained with Pei’s scent had long been thrown into a storage artifact, and he changed into another set. Otherwise, if Gu Haitang had smelled it, wouldn’t he be dead by now?

After hearing this, Gu Haitang wondered if she had been overly suspicious.

So she said apologetically, "Sorry, maybe I was a bit too sensitive. Please, don’t hate me."

Chu Xuan smiled, "How could I."

And so, they continued to explore the secret realm for seven days, gaining quite a bit.

...

One day, there was a loud explosion in the sky!

The group looked up in surprise, only to see a piece of the sky collapse, with dozens of cultivators falling through.

Leading them was a young girl in yellow clothes, yelling excitedly "Ahhhh~!" It was Jiang Yiyi, the ancestor of Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

She was holding an oval-shaped object that looked like a stone egg, enjoying the thrill of free falling without a trace of fear.

Chu Xuan was startled and quickly transformed into a cyan sword light to catch Jiang Yiyi.

The other people from the Daoist Palace stabilized themselves and flew up on their own.

Being caught by Chu Xuan, Jiang Yiyi was a bit displeased, "Do you think this Immortal would fall to death? Couldn’t you catch me just before I hit the ground?"

Chu Xuan was speechless, "Then I’ll let go."

Jiang Yiyi quickly grabbed him tightly, "No, no, if my little stone gets broken, that won’t be good."

Chu Xuan asked with some curiosity, "What is this thing?"

"I don’t know, but it should be related to my mission to descend to the mortal world. Doesn’t it look like an egg? Maybe it can hatch into some super powerful pet, I’ve decided, after we go back, I want to hatch this egg every day!"

Seeing Jiang Yiyi seriously talking about this kind of thing, Chu Xuan was even more speechless, "Alright, alright, just don’t drag my little martial sister along to hatch it with you."

With that, he let Jiang Yiyi gather a cloud ball to stand on.

Just as Chu Xuan let go, Qin Mengyao, who had already come to his side, suddenly stepped forward to tightly embrace him.

Chu Xuan was somewhat bewildered, what’s going on now?

He originally wanted to tell his senior sister that they were just senior sister and junior brother, and hugging like this in public wasn’t right, but soon found that Qin Mengyao’s condition seemed off?

Her body was trembling slightly, as if she was desperately suppressing something...

Zichen and his group, upon seeing the Daoist Palace cultivators fall, naturally came to meet them, curious about their experience.

But seeing Chu Xuan and his senior sister so intimate, their looks were somewhat strange.

Gu Haitang had a cold face; this Qin Mengyao had previously hugged her junior brother outside the secret realm, which could still be explained as excitement after a long separation, but what was this now? Hugging tightly in public?

Pei Shurou’s gaze was also complicated; this guy really hasn’t changed a bit.

Actually, the people from the Daoist Palace were also quite surprised. They knew that this pair of senior siblings had a good relationship, but this was too much, wasn’t it? There were so many people watching.

Qin Mengyao, however, didn’t pay attention to the outsiders’ gaze. Originally, the killing intent in her was boiling almost unbearably, but now, tightly hugging Chu Xuan, feeling his warmth, smelling his scent, she gradually calmed down.

Chu Xuan didn’t push her away; instead, he gently patted her back and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"

Qin Mengyao slowly adjusted her breathing and then answered with a hoarse voice, "There’s something, calling me over."

"It’s been going on for a long time, that thing is inciting my killing intent..."

Chu Xuan frowned, remembering his master’s evaluation of his sister: strong-willed and heavily inclined towards killing.

In Floating Cloud Master’s view, this disciple was prone to going astray and needed diligent teaching and restraint.

So Chu Xuan’s tone became even softer, "How about now?"

"Much better." Qin Mengyao’s tone was gradually returning to normal.

"How many days has this been going on? Have you told the Zhenrens?"

Qin Mengyao shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "Seven or eight days, that thing is preventing me from speaking out."

Looking back now, she felt terrified by how she’d held back such a mysterious and dangerous experience without telling anyone.

In fact, during these days, the Zhenrens also noticed something off about Qin Mengyao, but whenever they asked, she would deny it, saying she was fine with a smile.

The two of them were talking normally, so everyone else heard the conversation, realizing there was a reason behind Qin Mengyao suddenly hugging her junior brother tightly.

Lu Jianxin Zhenren came forward with a serious expression, "Can you sense what it is? Which direction is it in?"

Qin Mengyao released Chu Xuan but still held tightly onto his hand.

"I don’t know what it is, but..." She pointed towards the center of the secret realm at that Ruo Wood, "It’s in that direction."

Li Yucheng sighed seeing this, "Sure enough, this Ruo Wood Secret Realm holds dangers everywhere. As long as you are okay, don’t go near there anymore."

Su Yu Zhenren furrowed her brows and murmured, "Someone wants to perform a body takeover?"
