Chapter 397: Chapter 93 Mrs. Nie Qiba, you don’t want to..._2

So, the one below should presumably be the connecting exit between the upper and lower realms.

As for whether he could win on Tailed Ksitigarbha’s "aboveground domain" and successfully escape after leaving the phantom realm, Xu Shu was no longer worried.

According to the reconnaissance eye’s intelligence, Tailed Ksitigarbha was indeed unique, capable of hiding its head while exposing its tail and avoiding Star Tower’s probes.

However, it did not possess abilities like the Jian Qi Chosen One, able to completely ignore the rule that "First Rank non-human Transcendents are not allowed within the boundary."

So now, the biggest question was whether that downward black hole was really the exit from the "underground phantom realm" to the "aboveground domain"?

This question could be directly verified by waiting until tomorrow if Xu Shu waited a bit longer.

Unfortunately, he was fighting against time and could not afford to wait until tomorrow.

This was somewhat vexing.

Moreover, there were numerous Nie Qibas in the underground phantom realm that, though dead, did not release Erosion Crystals, and it seemed he would still need Wuxin’s help to enter.

"It seems I need to improve Wuxin’s favorability first, and I hope we make it in time. We can’t afford any delays on the way; there’s just over two hours left... Hmm, huh?"

Just as he was about to turn back toward the ancient temple rooftop at (18.19), Xu Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He scratched his head, turned back, and his gaze once again took in the entire appearance of the lighthouse supply point.

"Speaking of Nie Qiba... there’s only one female Nie Qiba in the aboveground domain that has an Erosion Crystal, and she also seems to be Bahamut’s mistress..."

"And they are afraid of Star Tower, aren’t they?"

Xu Shu’s eyes gradually brightened.

Two minutes later.

The morning breeze softly howled, and the sun was rising.

Xu Shu kicked open the security iron window at the rear of the lighthouse supply point and immediately saw in the front hall, a Nie Qiba lazily lying on the floor basking in the morning sun of around seven or eight o’clock, continuously fussing over her attractive face.

Now and then she fiddled with her hair, and then she rubbed her eyes and lips.

It was that very Nie Qiba!

"Screech!"

With a piercing scream, her bloated yet robust serpentine body suddenly jerked and quickly flipped over from the ground, looking alarmed and scared, and with a somewhat flattering expression, cautiously looked toward the source of the sound.

She looked just like an employee caught slacking off by her boss.

However, upon seeing a human outside the iron window, the flattery on Nie Qiba’s face instantly stiffened.

She was first confused, then realized, and finally furious.

"Damn human, how dare you, violate my lord’s territory!" Nie Qiba spoke human language, standing up like a snake targeting its prey, twisting her lower body and rushing rapidly towards Xu Shu.

Yet Xu Shu’s posture did not change; he still stood steadily on the edge of the boundary line, standing beyond some very sinister, mostly buried in the wall, nearly indistinguishable tire tracks.

There was some distance between them, enough for him to stand his ground.

These tire tracks were the traps of the "aboveground domain" of Tailed Ksitigarbha, as well as His curse, which anyone entering would be afflicted by the Lower Corpse Valley Worm’s curse.

Xu Shu certainly would not be fooled.

This Nie Qiba was also very clever; she ferociously ran up to about seven or eight meters in front of Xu Shu and abruptly stopped.

She naturally refused to leave Tailed Ksitigarbha’s domain range.

In her limited mind, since this human dared to come provocatively, he would naturally step into her domain, and at that time, "her lord’s Divine Power" would punish him!

However, strangely, she waited a while and realized that the human male in front of her was just leisurely standing outside, which made her anxious and blurted out, "Stupid human, if you dare to defy the lord’s divine might, why don’t you dare step in?"

"You have bad breath," Xu Shu shook his head.

Back on the journey, her breath was fresh and drool-worthy.

Oh, right, it was already late then, and now it’s not even seven o’clock.

It seems this snake woman had just gotten up not long ago, and probably hadn’t had time to brush her teeth yet.

No wonder it smells a bit overwhelming.

Xu Shu not only didn’t step inside, but he also took a step back.

Thinking this, the Nie Qiba opposite him was completely taken aback.

"What bad breath?"

Nie Qiba found that the man in front of her not only spoke nonsense but his expression was also very odd.

He kept looking at his face and mouth as if relishing something, his facial expression rich, both regretful and sympathetic.

For some reason, Nie Qiba felt a chill run down her spine, feeling somewhat afraid.

She had lived for many years, having eaten human males and females raw, not a hundred but at least seventy or eighty, yet it was the first time she saw such... such...

How to say it.

A very perverted look?

This truly made the snake feel uncomfortable!

Nie Qiba’s brain was not enough to think much; she unnaturally twisted her body, licked her lips, and cursed angrily, "If you don’t dare to come in and challenge me, you coward!"

Nie Qiba used a challenging strategy.

Xu Shu chuckled and countered, "You don’t dare to defend your lord’s honor, false believer."

"You?!"

This direct hit landed right on Nie Qiba’s major artery, and as the most loyal servant of the lord, she could be called anything but not disloyal!
