Chapter 339: Chapter 332: Why Not Pay Respect When Meeting the Holy Daughter?

Zhao Changhe’s gaze also fell on her hand.

Such a gentle and soft hand...

Huangfu Qing, feeling his stare, glared back expressionlessly.

Zhao Changhe adopted a defensive posture and stepped back half a step.

Huangfu Qing said teasingly, "What, you want more?"

Zhao Changhe swallowed, his tone firm, "Is that all I’m here for?"

"You’re not?"

"...Even if that were true, we should still find a softer, sweeter spot."

Huangfu Qing threw a punch, and Zhao Changhe protected his head with his arms.

Nevertheless, the punch never landed. As they looked at each other, their eyes twinkling, both knew it was time to go.

The Kunlun Secret Realm might have plenty of it, but all such small fragments probably existed because each treasure could maintain a little space, leading to this phenomenon. But this also meant there was little room for expansion or exploration, just a palm-sized place visible at a glance.

There was no way to live here, so how long could they linger? Everyone had finished what they came for, obtained the treasures they sought, completed their breakthroughs. It really was time to leave...

Huangfu Qing suddenly felt a pang of reluctance, feeling like time had passed too quickly.

Hiding in this tiny space, they could forget a lot of things from the outside world, as if there were only the two of them between heaven and earth. They could be tender and sweet, achieve things together, and she could nestle in the man’s embrace, feeling his love and care.

She could vent feelings she couldn’t express outside, could kiss him, hold weapons like Tai’a if she wished—after all, no one was watching, whatever they wanted to do, they did.

Could they still do this after leaving?

The Winged Fire Snake could only pretend occasionally; most of the time, she had to conceal all her thoughts behind the Vermilion Bird Mask, maintaining a cold, aloof demeanor.

Stupid turtle, you’re not helping with anything. Do you know how much I’m shouldering, how exhausting it is?

Ugh, seems like you helped with one thing, saying I liked him... Was that even helpful? At that time, I didn’t really like him! It was his later actions that touched my heartstrings...

But if he hadn’t mistakenly thought I liked him, would those later actions have happened?

I don’t know...

But such feelings might not be a good thing, what about Chichi... and Tang Wanju, am I really going to fight with her over a man?

That’s just ridiculous.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Stupid turtle, just you wait!

Zhao Changhe was asking, "After we leave... are you returning to the capital?"

Huangfu Qing, already in a foul mood, replied irritably, "Why should I go back to the capital, am I bothering you?"

"Not at all, I was just hoping you could stay a few more days."

Little did Huangfu Qing know that as soon as the words left her mouth, she was regretting it. Why should I stay here? Chichi is still around! Should I report the investigation results of the Flaming Kun Gang as the Winged Fire Snake to Holy Daughter Chichi?

Has Chichi ever seen the true face of the Vermilion Bird? Huangfu Qing thought for a while, it seems she always wore the Vermilion Bird Mask when she saw her, that’s good...

Plus, although Chichi isn’t proficient in the Fire Element, her knowledge isn’t bad. What if she realizes that the Heartflame isn’t something the Winged Fire Snake can subdue?

No, as much as I hate to leave, I must go, or if she sees through this, it would be a real social death. Better to cut ties with him forever and find an excuse to let the Winged Fire Snake disappear. This game is over.

As she was thinking this, the spatial barrier above them suddenly started fluctuating.

Both of them were startled and looked upwards as Xia Chichi’s voice came through, "Finally found a way. This volcano mouth is really misleading; thought the secret realm was inside the mountain belly, jumping up and down searching for half a day, but it turns out the entrance is just over the barrier, really darkness beneath the lamp."

"Hey! Zhao, are you dead? How do we break this barrier, do you need help? Make a noise!"

Zhao Changhe called back, "We’re here, this barrier was already broken, it’s just been mended. Don’t worry, we are coming out."

"..." Huangfu Qing clenched her teeth in frustration.

"You really aren’t afraid of bringing the little one to see Chichi, huh... Cui Yuanyang must be very experienced, isn’t he?"

"Uh, that’s not right, why am I the little one? You two aren’t even officially together yet!"

"Now that it has come to this, there’s no use hiding, might as well go out, scared of you? Not!"

"Crash!" The spatial barrier shattered, and the two leapt out from within the mountain.

Xia Chichi stood at the edge of the volcano’s mouth, sizing up the enchantingly gorgeous woman with her arms folded.

"So it was you who shamelessly spent three days with my boyfriend inside the mountain, right?"

"Indeed beautiful, truly curious, what’s up with his luck with women, why are they all such beauties? And that aura..."

"Whoa, you’re actually staring at me?"

Xia Chichi, full of inquisitive thoughts, was ignited by that stare, and she jumped up in anger, "Zhao Changhe! You just came here to find the Kun Gang Secret Realm, how did you end up rolling around with women! Who is this woman!"

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe hurriedly explained, "This is the Winged Fire Snake from your sect, she was ordered by the Vermilion Bird Venerable to investigate the Kun Gang, and just happened to meet..."

Xia Chichi paused for a moment, indeed recalling the Venerable had mentioned sending the Winged Fire Snake here, and also recalled that this Winged Fire Snake seemed to have had an affair with him, likely as per the Venerable’s instructions... so she wasn’t just a sudden random woman, the whole story could be untangled.

"No wonder such grace, such aura, they say she was an Imperial Concubine, no wonder."

Speaking of which... Imperial Concubine, do you, Zhao Changhe, even know what position you’re in right now? Xia Chichi wore an unbelievably bizarre expression, even more miraculous than before.

Hold on, why is this woman still glaring at me, who exactly is the homewrecker here?

Xia Chichi, with her arms folded, said coolly, "Oh, so you’re from the Twenty-Eight Constellations of our sect, one of our own... Why are you being so rude to me? Did the Venerable teach you to glare at the Holy Daughter like this?"

Zhao Changhe hastily tugged at her sleeve, "Chichi..."

"You move aside first, this is a serious internal affair of our sect!"

Zhao Changhe, "..."

Huangfu Qing held back her expression, and after a long while, she said, "I’m only answerable to the Venerable, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger have nothing to do with me."

Xia Chichi said, "Sect rules are here, did I ask you to be responsible to me? Where are the manners? Should I go ask the Venerable?"

Huangfu Qing pulled at the corner of her mouth, finally lowering her glaring eyes, lowering her voice, "Greetings, Holy Daughter."

Little bitch, remember this, next time you see the Venerable how you should pay your respects, I will remember to remind you.

Xia Chichi, not yet aware of the hardships that would come in the future, seeing the obedient demeanor of the Winged Fire Snake, felt as if she was drinking chilled sour plum soup at the edge of a volcano; her entire body felt refreshed, and a smile appeared on her face as she asked in a melodramatic tone, "So, what findings do you have regarding the investigation of Kun Gang?"

Huangfu Qing was grinding her teeth, yet could only accompany cautiously, "This is not the place to talk, can we go back and discuss further with the Holy Daughter?"

"Mhm." Xia Chichi declared victory, turning her head high and chest out, and gave Zhao Changhe another glare, "I’ll settle the score with you later!"

"Not just that..." Zhao Changhe struggled to say, "Why just focus on bullying, what about Ye Wuzong, the three-day agreement..."

Xia Chichi furiously said, "Three days? It’s already the fourth day, have you been lost in pleasure within there?"

"Huh?" Zhao Changhe was stunned, he had just been unconscious for a while, and had entered meditation, it was already the fourth day?

Meditation really isn’t scientific...

That means, according to the agreement, the sword pills are already considered obtained?

Thinking this, Zhao Changhe hurriedly took out the sword pills and placed them in Xia Chichi’s hand, "The important matter is here... we better head back, in case Ye Wuzong changes his mind, it’s not good to stay here."

Xia Chichi took the sword pills, casting a sidelong glance at him, then noticed that his body and that of the Winged Fire Snake nearby were almost covered in dried blood; their glamorous furs had turned blood-colored.

Not knowing what had happened, but clearly, a fierce battle had ensued.

He had indeed ventured to Kun Gang for his sword pills and encountered dangers.

With the Winged Fire Snake, it was merely a coincidental meeting, not some prearranged affair... Perhaps nothing happened between the two at the bottom?

Knowing she was fooling herself, yet Xia Chichi felt her anger dissipating significantly, murmuring, "Ye Wuzong isn’t too interested in sword pills himself, there should be no big issue... Anyway, let’s talk more when we get back."
