The Journey of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 1175 - 618: For Him? (Part 4)
"The amulet that Mr. Huangfu asked my master to refine is not only for protection against toxins and miasma when worn, but it can also prevent the harm of three blood curses."
As soon as he finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Many demons have the innate ability to curse, which is a secret technique completely different from Divine Skills. Later, many humans also understood and began to mimic it. Among curses, the most vicious one is the Blood Curse, which requires sacrificing one’s own essence blood or life to cast a spell on an opponent. For example, before Fairy Han Qiong died, she cast a curse secret technique. If one gets entangled by such a severe curse, it would be quite a troublesome matter, although at that time Changtian easily dispelled it.
The difference between curses and ordinary Divine Skills lies in the fact that the caster often harms others in secret, unlike Divine Skills which are executed openly, making them extremely hard to guard against. She, unlike Changtian who has the cultivation of the God Realm, would indeed be troubled if someone truly cast a curse to deal with her. So she casually accepted it and smiled, "A good thing, I like it very much, please convey my thanks to Huangfuming."
Ding San said, "It seems there are new guests looking for Lord Ning, I won’t disturb you further." He glanced into the woods, bowed a few steps back, and then turned to leave. With this Big White Bird guarding, Ning Xiaoxian was perfectly safe, without needing him by her side.
Ning Xiaoxian and Qi Zai had long known that others had come to this Plum Forest, and there was no surprise on their faces at this time.
Exposed by Ding San, the people in the woods walked out with a self-mocking expression. It turned out to be two graceful silhouettes, followed by a Hidden Guard.
The first among them, with a charming face and willow brows, was truly a stunning beauty who could be said to be capable of overthrowing a city or state. Especially when she walked, like a weak willow supporting the wind, trembling gently, making men unable to resist reaching out to support her. Ning Xiaoxian thought that such grace and deportment would probably be beyond her reach in this lifetime. The one following was dressed as a maid and also possessed cultivation.
The great beauty in front walked up to her, smiled gently, "Greetings to Lord Ning." Her gentle smile instantly and quietly covered the little awkwardness of eavesdropping earlier.
As soon as Yan Lingxue spoke, Ning Xiaoxian recognized who she was. The last time, being held in Changtian’s arms, she couldn’t even see this woman’s face yet remembered her voice clearly, not to mention Yan Lingxue’s voice was low, mellow, and very distinctive.
It was really interesting to encounter this woman twice. The previous time, she deliberately had someone find the Hidden Guard next to Yan Lingxue to probe her whereabouts, knowing that this woman liked to visit Huomu Valley, she pestered Changtian to carry her over, just to lean in his arms to meet Yan Lingxue. However, Changtian saw through her little trick and was uncooperative, she did not even get to see Yan Lingxue as she was hurriedly taken away.
This time, however, it was truly a coincidental meeting.
So she slightly parted her red lips, revealing a look of confusion, "Hello, you are?" Yet her gaze was on the Hidden Guard beside the two women.
The demon guard Lei Yun quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "My lord, this is the Little Pavilion Master of Tianling Pavilion, Miss Yan Lingxue." He tried hard to make himself less noticeable. Lei Yun vaguely felt that he was going to witness a good show again. The previous performance was too short, just a bit of time, finished even before they could drink a couple more cups with his companions, not satisfying at all. But last time Lord Divine Monarch was present, the Lord’s character has always been straightforward and decisive, resulting in carrying Lord Ning away directly, but this time, it was Lord Ning facing the Little Pavilion Master!
Just thinking about it got him a bit excited. Life in the Hidden Stream was truly boring and monotonous to the extreme, really in need of some gossip material to comfort the lonely hearts of the demon crowd here.
Ning Xiaoxian lightly said, "Oh," as she understood, "So it’s the Little Pavilion Master of Tianling Pavilion." She nodded lightly to her counterpart, as a semblance of a greeting, "I’m just out for a stroll, so I’ll be heading back now. The scenery in the Plum Forest is nice; you all enjoy yourselves slowly." This was what Changtian had said to Yan Lingxue that day, she basically imitated it back to the other party.
Seeing her pat the Chongming Bird’s neck, Qi Zai obediently extended his steel wings to the ground, allowing her to step on. Yan Lingxue was a bit anxious. Just now she had been observing from the side for a long time, seeing this woman standing charmingly in the Plum Forest, wearing a light pink high-waisted skirt, highlighting her lean shoulders and slim waist. Although her appearance wasn’t supremely beautiful, her face was exquisite, limbs were slender, akin to spiritual jade, warm, and quietly radiant inside. Especially her pair of eyes, black as painted, revealing brilliance when glancing around, from afar unexpectedly had an inexplicable allure and charm.
