Chapter 499: Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Five: Shattered_2

"...."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously opening his mouth.

Origin Qi examination has this effect?

Steadying his mind, Xu Yuan said:

"Shut up?"

"Oh... okay."

Bai Muxi opened her eyes, a hint of alluring charm in her gaze: "Sorry... young master."

Xu Yuan circulated his cultivation technique to suppress his irritation and huffed lightly:

"My Origin Qi is inside you, your mind is scattered, aren’t you afraid of cultivation deviation?"

"Cultivation deviation? You think too highly of yourself."

Luo Xiran’s voice, imbued with a teasing smile, suddenly rang out in Xu Yuan’s heart: "Even if your Soul Condensation Origin Qi in her body gets agitated, it couldn’t possibly harm her."

"...." Xu Yuan.

"If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

"Giggle~"

The chuckling laughter, characteristic of an elder sister figure, of Luo Xiran liltingly carried over:

"Seeing you fumble around just now, I thought you were some lecherous ghost starved for color, but it turns out you’re all bark and no bite, thundering loudly without a drop of rain."

Xu Yuan’s fingertips trembled, and he made no sound.

Seizing the opportunity, Luo Xiran continued to mock:

"What, did I hit the nail on the head?"

Xu Yuan was not annoyed in the least, why be upset over unfounded remarks, and he retorted softly:

"You talk as if you have so much experience, huh... an old X woman of ten thousand years."

"....."

Luo Xiran’s voice fell silent for a moment, taking on a hint of embarrassment:

"Impudent brat, I’ve lived for so many years, seen more men than you have...."

"Alright then."

Upon hearing her urgent words, Xu Yuan couldn’t help laughing to himself in his heart: "Next time I return to the Underground Palace, I’ll go find that body of yours and see if my sworn sister has really seen..."

"You dare!" Luo Xiran was slightly taken aback.

Xu Yuan glanced at the red glow emitted by the Blood Divine Stone hanging around his neck and coughed sincerely from his heart:

"Cough, senior, it’s just a joke, don’t take it seriously."

As a spirit of the Blood Divine Stone, this older sworn sister had no combat power at all, but she could control the Black Death Bacterial Armor through the Blood Divine Stone, which had absorbed most of the Life Origin from the Blood Pool.

While Xu Yuan was unclear about her exact strength, it would still be effortless for her to deal with him, currently as strong as a floor tile in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Having been irritated into silence, Luo Xiran said no more, and Xu Yuan gladly enjoyed the peace to carefully examine Bai Muxi’s constitution.

As time ticked by, the deeper Xu Yuan’s examination went, the stranger Bai Muxi’s constitution appeared.

The human body has a total of one hundred and twenty-seven meridians,

some unobstructed, some blocked, and some completely severed, but the location of each meridian is mostly fixed.

However, there was something peculiar about Bai Muxi’s meridians.

She had five extra ones.

Bai Muxi had a total of one hundred and thirty-two meridians in her body.

In silence, Xu Yuan withdrew the Origin Qi he had infused into Bai Muxi’s body and opened his eyes to once again look down at her.

Sweat made her hair cling to her graceful face, her eyes dewy, seductive as silk; her reclining figure highlighted her soft and enticing bosom, her voice tentative:

"Hmm... young master, is it over?"

"......" Xu Yuan’s eye twitched.

...

Without a sound, a graceful figure quietly descended.

Standing atop the courtyard wall, Li Qingyan’s brows furrowed slightly.

In the courtyard covered in pristine snow, only two sets of footprints stretched from the snowdrift to the corner of the eaves.

In silence,

like a blood-red robe dancing in the wind, Li Qingyan approached the side chamber silently as a ghost.

The sounds inside the chamber were soft, but the constitution of one who cultivated Origin Qi made every word clear to her ears.

The rustling of clothes and the slightly coquettish and frantic breaths were heard.

On hearing these sounds, Li Qingyan’s heart tightened, and strands of fiery emotion began to coil within her pitch-black pupils, a flicker of coldness passing through the normally placid eyes.

She could guess what was happening inside.

Her delicate fingers tightened slightly, subconsciously moving to push the door open.

But just as her fingertips were about to touch the door frame, she hesitated.

After lightly pursing her red lips, a complex look flickered in those crimson eyes, and Li Qingyan pulled back her hand that was suspended in midair, leaning back against the door frame as she suppressed the ripples in her heart.

Forget it... Let it be a reward for that dead man.

It’s just a personal maidservant, after all....

But why...

Heh, such a mundane emotion.

The rustling inside the door uncontrollably continued to reach her, Li Qingyan crossing her arms, her fingertips quickly tapping against her arms as she leaned against the door frame steady as a mountain, the coldness in her eyes growing increasingly intense.

Suddenly,

The velvety male voice suddenly came through the door, hoarse with a repressed edge:

"Enough, Mu Xi, right now Qingyan is still dealing with military affairs in the outside world, and the Chi Su matter is also unclear. Although this prince is no saint, I am really not in the mood at this moment."

"......"

Li Qingyan’s bright eyes widened slightly, and from her delicate, upturned nose came a soft hum like the buzz of a mosquito, followed by her red lips curling into a beautiful arc.

However, the next moment, the deep and scheming voice of the Underground Palace’s controller of fate came again:

"My lord... after having faced such life and death, both your body and mind must be extremely fatigued; the Princess... she surely wouldn’t blame you."

"...."

Li Qingyan’s fingers crossed before her chest tightened slightly, a light nod conveying ambiguous meaning.

"Let it be," Xu Yuan insisted.

Bai Muxi’s frail voice rose again: "My lord... you..."

Xu Yuan’s voice became decisive:

"Bai Muxi, I’ve told you, don’t instruct me on what to do."

The room fell quiet for a moment, then Bai Muxi replied with careful caution:

"Mu Xi... Mu Xi understands her mistake."

Soon after, there was again the rustling sound of robes rubbing against each other, followed by Xu Yuan’s gentle voice:

"I already know about your constitution. I’ll go out for some air. Rest here for now; when I return, I will give you a cultivation technique."

"...."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan showed a flicker of surprise in her eyes, and her figure vanished in an instant, as if she had never been there.

Several breaths later,

"Creak——"

The old wooden door was pushed open from the inside, revealing Xiao Bai, disheveled and revealing hints of spring, sitting at the bedside with lightly pursed lips.

And Xu Yuan, dressed in new brocaded garments, walked straight out the door. His calm gaze surveyed the area, and seeing no one around, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

As the cultivation technique circulated, strands of blood-red mirrors condensed underfoot, and he walked through the snow towards the massive pavilion in the courtyard, significant to the human race.

Taking a seat, warming the wine, drinking it down.

The spiritual wine warmed his insides, and the extreme beating of Xu Yuan’s heart gradually steadied.

Damn it, initially suspecting that the Wrapped Chest Princess would secretly follow to the Hook Bar, only to find out she indeed had the strange habit of eavesdropping.

Luckily, he was vigilant and used his spiritual vision to sweep the area beforehand.

If not for the spiritual vision, he probably would have been strung up and beaten afterwards.

With that thought, Xu Yuan downed another cup of spiritual wine, and after his mood had completely calmed, a trace of contemplation flickered in his eyes.

For the first time, he experienced the terrifying sensitivity of spiritual vision to the Energy Mechanism.

The Wrapped Chest Princess had merely let her emotions slip for an instant while eavesdropping, and he had detected that slight breath of hers.

More importantly, it seemed that Li Qingyan had not sensed his probe.

Soul Condensation Realm unilaterally probing the Primordial...

With that in mind, Xu Yuan took another drink of spiritual wine, a smile creeping across his lips:

"This is really a blessing in disguise..."

"What blessing in disguise? Why not share with me?"

"....." Xu Yuan.

A sudden cold voice came from behind,

Red robes sweeping the floor, Li Qingyan walked into the pavilion, snatched the cup from his hand, poured herself a drink and downed it, then leaned against the stone table, looking down at him:

"Changtian, have you come across some good fortune?"

As a supreme Great Grandmaster of the Dao of Acting, Xu Yuan maintained his composure, even giving her a curious look as he countered:

"Why do I get the feeling that you’re in a bad mood? Like you’ve taken a dose of gunpowder."

Li Qingyan almost crushed the bronze cup in her hand to dust as she laughed softly:

"Indeed, I am. There are matters in the military, so I wanted to hear about the good thing that happened to you, Changtian, to change the mood."

Xu Yuan glanced at her suspiciously, then poured another cup:

"It’s about Bai Muxi."

Clink...

The sturdy bronze cup shattered into dust.

Xu Yuan instinctively shrank his neck, a look of uncertain surprise in his eyes:

"Qingyan, you..."

Li Qingyan let the dust of bronze fall from her hands, then snatched the new cup Xu Yuan had taken out, her smile dangerous as she played with the cup:

"It’s nothing, I’m just in a bit of a bad mood."

"Those cups are quite expensive..." Xu Yuan warned cautiously.

Li Qingyan’s red eyes lowered slightly, toying with the cup, her smile threatening:

"I’ll compensate you for it, continue talking."

Xu Yuan felt he could not afford to provoke further, and with a light cough, he said:

"Bai Muxi has the Five Elements Dao Body, but I currently have no suitable cultivation technique for her."

"Oh?"

Li Qingyan’s eyebrows lifted, showing a trace of interest:

"I happen to have one. Why not send her over to me for a while?"
