Chapter 599: Chapter 599: I Don’t See Gender

Yin Li was slightly taken aback, joining the Xuanyuan Tomb?

Her previous goal had always been the First Academy in the Royal City.

Firstly, because the Royal City was closer, and secondly, because it was relatively easier to enroll in the First Academy—if one had enough talent, they could join.

As for Xuanyuan Tomb, she had never considered it.

Joining a Holy Land was difficult, let alone the foremost among them, Xuanyuan Tomb.

She had heard about the assessments at Xuanyuan Tomb, which were very challenging.

Besides talent, temperament was also an important factor in Xuanyuan Tomb’s evaluations.

To assess a person, Xuanyuan Tomb could take from a few months to several years.

"The crisis in Hushan City is resolved already, it’s all the same whether you stay or go."

"You should now consider your own future."

"As for where you want to go, that’s up to you."

Yin Li’s talent was very strong, achieving the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer in Hushan City by her late twenties.

With resources and a dedicated teacher, her progress could be even faster.

He was now the new Sect Leader of Xuanyuan Tomb after all, and since he wouldn’t often reside in the Xuanyuan Tomb, it was only fitting to scout for disciples with exceptional talent.

"As for Xuanyuan Tomb... I don’t think my chances are that great," she said.

"The exams at Xuanyuan Tomb focus on temperament, and I might not make it in that respect."

"Sometimes... I can be quite impulsive and stubborn," she admitted.

Impulsive, like last night?

"Go and try, I think you’re quite good," he encouraged.

"What you call stubbornness is actually perseverance, is loyalty," he reframed.

Yin Li bowed her head in silence, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Alright then, think it over yourself. I’m going to leave." Lu Xiao didn’t press Yin Li further, as such matters ultimately came down to mutual willingness.

It wasn’t until Lu Xiao’s figure had disappeared that Yin Li suddenly realized what she wanted.

She seemed to want to go.

As to whether she wished to go to Xuanyuan Tomb to become stronger, or to be closer to Lu Xiao, she hadn’t quite figured it out yet.

...

"Brother Ma, have we gone the wrong way?" Two days later, Lu Xiao looked at the map with some confusion.

The map clearly marked a place called "Linnan City."

But in reality, there was no such city.

There was no sign of any city at all.

Underneath him, the black horse neighed a few times.

"What are you saying? I don’t understand," Lu Xiao patted the horse’s neck.

Black horse: ...

If you don’t understand, why ask at all?

"There’s no one around to ask for directions either, heh, getting lost was unexpected," he said.

"Forget it, it’ll be dark soon, I’ll ask Red Eyes later."

"Let’s go, Brother Ma, into the woods," he decided.

With that, Lu Xiao nudged the reins and the black horse picked up the pace.

Fifteen minutes later, as a red glow descended, Lu Xiao rode into a thicket of woods.

No sooner had they entered than the ghastly howls of the demonized reverberated as expected.

The black horse sensed danger and began to grow restless.

Lu Xiao wasted no time, tearing off a piece of black cloth and covering the horse’s eyes.

"Enough with the screams, Red Eyes... Little Red, Little Eyes, come out, time to chat," Lu Xiao called out.

Soon after his call, the demonized voices in the woods quickly subsided.

Then, a figure swayed seductively from the depths of the forest.

"Damn it, what are you up to!"

"Why did you possess a beauty this time?"

"Little Red, be honest, do you have some unhealthy thoughts towards me!" Lu Xiao gulped and shouted.

Back in the Royal City, Red Eyes had always possessed male demonized individuals.

And now, he had encountered the unusual—possession of a woman, and not just any woman but one who was extremely seductive.

Although she did not have Yin Li’s stunning aura, her looks and figure were no less captivating.

This woman even had flirtatious peach blossom eyes.

"Do not judge me with human thoughts."

"I do not see gender."

"I simply found this body more pleasant to the smell," the entity explained.

Lu Xiao was half-convinced by Red Eyes’ explanation.

If you do not see gender, why are you so interested in novels with themes like ’overbearing CEO falls for me’? Why do you always bristle with indignation when you hear about men mistreating women?

"Never mind that, there’s something I want to ask you about."

"Where are we actually?"

"Am I lost or something?"

"The map clearly shows a ’Linnan City,’ but I see nothing," Lu Xiao pointed out on the map.

Red Eyes did not look at the map but merely nodded lightly, "You are not lost, Linnan City used to be here."

"Where’s the city then?"

"Gone, obviously."

Lu Xiao: ???

What does ’gone’ mean?

Cities in the Divine Continent Realm are quite substantial, how could one just disappear?

"To be precise, it’s gone because of me," Red Eyes revealed.

"The number of demonized in Linnan City reached a critical point, and then... it was destroyed."

Lu Xiao’s brows arched, this was in line with his guess; if there were too many demonized in one place, they would start counter-attacking.

So, in principle, Red Eyes truly was the major boss of Divine Continent, the ultimate antagonist.
