Chapter 710: Chapter 587: Mirror of Six Desires_1

The man with deer antlers came to his senses after suffering a headache, noticing that Queen Bashe was staring dreamily at the lower half of Li Xuan’s body.

"What are you doing? Why are you dazed out here? His people should be coming soon, besides, six shichen aren’t that long."

However, Queen Bashe frowned slightly: "I’m wondering, how do I undo his belt."

"Belt?"

The man with deer antlers was taken aback. He thought this queen was quite straightforward with her words. All the while, he was glancing at Li Xuan, looking at the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron Li Xuan had summoned and the from of Taotie that manifested behind Li Xuan, as well as the protective Wenshan Seal floating above Li Xuan.

The man with deer antlers opened his mouth to say something, and finally uttered, "This is really troublesome, but we can’t linger here, let’s change our location."

Queen Bashe’s face turned an ashen hue. She nodded, and swiftly grabbed Li Xuan as her figure flickered towards the north of the Capital City.

The man with deer antlers closely followed. His entire body turned into a breeze, dispersing into the void.

At this moment, Jade Qilin lazily came over from a distant street. She watched this scene from afar and furrowed her brows, promptly turning into a bolt of light following the two figures.

Though the two heavenly-level demons seemed to harbor no ill intent towards Li Xuan, Meng Qingfan thought it was better to tag along just to play it safe.

What these few people were not aware of was that, in the Taoist temple next to Marquis of Guanjun’s residence, Xue Yunrou was about to step out from her room where she was meditating.

The first sight that met her eyes were half a garden of jasmine flowers and half a garden of roses.

As this picturesque view poured into her sight, Xue Yunrou felt as if her chest and heart had been forcefully struck. She found herself having some trouble breathing in this instant.

In Xue Yunrou’s mind, the image of Li Xuan, who was smiling yet not, irreverent yet roguish, instantly flashed up.

A sweet smile of joy spread across her lips, guessing that this was undoubtedly Xuan’s handiwork.

That guy always managed to surprise and charm her unexpectedly.

However, barely three breaths later, Xue Yunrou’s eyebrows slightly knitted together, the smile on her face gradually freezing.

Because whenever her divine sense spread out, she could not find Li Xuan anywhere.

Xue Yunrou ground her teeth involuntarily, wondering whether Li Xuan was tied up with some other women.

He had prepared a garden full of flowers for her, indicating that he had remembered the timing of her exit from meditation.

According to Xue Yunrou’s experience, the reason for his absence must either be due to urgent business, or he had been tied up by a woman.

The possibility of the latter being the reason was extremely high, especially considering that Li Xuan had exceeded this dubious record three times within this past half a year.

Xue Yunrou was trying hard to calm her anger, but she suddenly felt a slight disturbance in her heart and looked towards the west wall.

At that moment, a female figure was approaching from atop the wall.

Xue Yunrou recognized her as Li Xuan’s implement slave, Dugu Bilo. She raised an eyebrow saying, "Bilo? What’s the matter?"

Xue Yunrou held some level of fondness for this ’cousin’ of hers.

The key point was that Dugu Bilo had never shown any signs of seduction towards Li Xuan.

"Li Xuan may have run into trouble." Dugu Bilo’s face was stern, with a hint of worry in her cold eyes "earlier, Li Xuan summoned the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron from me, and this pseudo-divine treasure has yet to return."

Xue Yunrou’s face immediately turned serious: "You should be able to sense the location of the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron, right? Where is it currently?"

Before her words fell, another figure appeared atop the wall: "Li Xuan’s in trouble? What happened?"

This person was wearing the Liudao Fumo Armor, dressing like a man, but her face was more exquisite and beautiful than that of a woman’s, and her voice was icy cold.

Xue Yunrou gave Luo Yan a glance, her lips curling into a smirk.

She was speculating whether this Demoness Zidie had been watching this scene from the start or not? Otherwise how would she be so timely?

Luo Yan looked at the garden full of flowers in the Taoist temple, her eyes slightly gloomy.

She still remembered a month ago in the Jiangnan trip, Li Xuan had also surprised her by decorating the inn with a garden full of roses, which moved her to tears.

And now, a month later, Li Xuan also used this tactic for Xue Yunrou!

"I sensed the location of the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron to be in the north of the city. Since it’s not moving, it means Li Xuan isn’t in mortal danger."

When Dugu Bilo said this, she realized the atmosphere of the place wasn’t right. Looking at Xue Yunrou with her dark face and the cold-hearted Luo Yan, she asked with a slight headache, "Are you still going to rescue him or not?"

※※※※

Eventually, Li Xuan was brought to a spacious underground cave near Taihang Mountain, outside of the Capital City.

Queen Bashe seemed to have plans to stay in the Capital City for a while. She even built a sizable Under Palace under the watchful eyes of the many heavenly-level powers within the city.

The queen chamber of the Bashe queen alone, is fifty acres in size and one hundred feet high. Enough for her to comfortably fall asleep, even in her original form.

Then the man with deer antler and the Bashe queen are standing in her chamber, stupefied as they look at all the magical implements on Li Xuan.

After some time, the man with deer antler coughs lightly. "Your Highness, he’s now in your hands, isn’t it time for you to give me that item?"

But the Bashe queen folds her arms across her chest, her expression cold. "No, he may be in my possession, but since he doesn’t take my bait, isn’t that the same as not having him at all?"

At this, the man with deer antler grows incredibly angry, almost livid. "Chang Yingying, are you going to break our agreement? This time, I, Lu, traveled all the way to Capital City and offended Marquis of Guanjun for your sake, along with so many heavenly ranks behind him. And this is how you repay me?"

But the Bashe queen gives a light laugh. "Your initial proposal was to capture him and let me do as I please, but can I do that now? And don’t act as if you’re the wronged party. You’ve been coveting the treasure in my possession for more than just a day. You only made the deal because you had no other choice."

She narrows her eyes at the man with deer antler, a predator’s glare shining in them, "I’m not giving it to you. What can you do about it? Don’t push me. I wouldn’t mind trying to find out what the flesh and blood of the Black Deer King tastes like."

The ancient book "Shu Yi Ji" states: "A deer that has lived a thousand years turns green, then turns white after another five hundred, and finally black after another five hundred. During the reign of Emperor Han Chen, a man in the mountains caught a black deer, and after stewing it, found its bones were black. The immortals say that eating black deer can extend one’s lifespan to two thousand years."

At that, the man with deer antler turned pale and broke out in a sweat.

He remembers that his ’Dingshen Technique of five Qi’ has already been ’neutered’ by Li Xuan and he can’t use it anymore.

If they were to fight, it’s likely he wouldn’t even get the chance to escape.

Not to mention, his flesh and blood are very much desirable for any heavenly rank.

The ancient book "Shu Yi Ji" is incorrect, eating him won’t extend one’s lifespan to two thousand years, but it could increase the lifespan of mortals by three or four hundred years.

For heavenly ranks, it could add a thousand years to their lifespan and greatly increase their cultivation.

In the eyes of many, he, the Black Deer King, is as valuable as ’ten thousand ancient ginseng’.

This Bashe queen may very well intend to devour him.

"Rest assured! I always keep my word and I have never gone back on it."

The Bashe queen snorts dismissively, "Unless you intentionally instigate a fight first, I won’t make a move. But if you want the treasure in my possession, then you’ll have to find a way to help me conceive his child. Otherwise, it’s absolutely impossible."

The man with the deer antler feels a headache coming on, but then his expression changes slightly. "There is one way."

The eyes of the Bashe queen light up as she looks at the man with the deer antler, "What is it? Speak quickly."

"In the short term, it’s impossible for you to strip him of all the divine treasures and immortal artifacts on his body. If you try to force it, he’ll likely regain the ability to use the Dingshen Technique of five Qi."

The man with deer antler helplessly looks at all the items on Li Xuan, "But we can get the Marquis of Guanjun to take his shell off himself."

The Bashe queen scrutinizes Li Xuan, "You mean, stimulating his natural desires using hypnotism, magic, and poisonous insects? I’ve considered this myself. But in his current state, how can we get any kind of content with him? He’s protected by Liuli Haoqi, which repels all forms of evil, so standard magic can’t affect his mind."

She then sees the man with deer antler bring out a cyan mirror made of metal.

The Bashe queen can’t help but raise an eyebrow, "What is this?"

She senses a spiritual aura in the artifact, signifying it’s a supreme magical implement.

But she doesn’t feel any magical abilities from the artifact.

"This is called the Mirror of Six Desires, it’s an artifact created by a demon in ancient times which can magnify a person’s desires ten to twenty times."

The man with the deer antler gives a knowing smile, a hint of victory in his eyes, "Given the current situation, it’s difficult for any external force to affect Li Xuan. But if we simply amplify his ’lust’, then Your Highness will have what you want."

"The Mirror of Six Desires?"

The Bashe queen takes a close look at the mirror, then snatches it eagerly.

She quickly learns how to use the mirror. There are six colored buttons on the back - gold, azure, blue, white, red, and green. The red represents ’lust’.

The Bashe queen immediately casts a spell, causing the Mirror of Six Desires to hover in the air and shine its light towards Li Xuan.

She notices a moment of confusion in Li Xuan’s eyes, and then no reaction at all.

"What’s going on?" The Bashe queen looks questioningly at the man with deer antler, "Why didn’t it work? Also, what’s the thing with the numbers on this mirror?"

"The numbers represent the level of the Marquis of Guanjun’s desires, from one to ten - the larger the number, the stronger his current desire."

The man with deer antler glances at the mirror and sees the number displayed is three.

Thinking that the magic mirror must have made a mistake, he purposely moves his face in front of Li Xuan’s, and then sees the number change to zero.

This puzzles the man with deer antler.

How is this possible? The Bashe queen is a renowned beauty in their demon tribe, and this allegedly lustful protector of Neo-Confucianism has so little desire for her? How could that be possible?
