Chapter 558: Chapter 355: Potion

The rain pattered against the window drapes, falling downward along the upturned corners of the roof, converging into a curtain of silver beads.

Having left the Northern Frontier, the chilling winds had dispersed, replaced by the lingering autumn rains.

Amidst the vast curtain of rain, a lone flying beast soared through the sky.

The attic was antique and charming; standing before the window lattice and looking down, one could see a breathtaking view of mountains and rivers bathed in the rain.

Lush forests spread along the undulating hills to the edge of sight, and from these towering woods, the faint roars of Demonic Beasts could occasionally be heard.

Withdrawn from the view, Xu Yuan looked around his room with quite a pleased gaze at the layout and furnishings.

Precious sandalwood incense, a bed draped with golden silk brocade, and a tea tray cast from the carved bones of bright-cornered python snakes—everything was so pleasing to the eye.

Compared to the Xuanying Attic, the previous lion-eagle beast was utterly from another world.

While enjoying the tranquil quietude beneath the rain curtain, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered that there was an extra person in the room.

A woman, a woman who sat before the tea tray, pouring and drinking tea on her own.

And the instant he saw the woman’s face, Xu Yuan revealed a somewhat helpless expression.

It was Lou Ji.

This old lady enjoyed slipping silently into his room, especially recently with Tianyan and Xiao Bai staying next door to him.

She seemed to think that by entering the room without knocking, she might witness some very interesting things.

Of course, she had never knocked on his door before anyway.

Considering this,

Xu Yuan leisurely walked to the cushion before the tea tray and sat down, picking up the fragrant tea she had poured for him and took a light sip.

Today, Lou Ji was clad in a light purple cheongsam with a plunging neckline.

An elegant black snake twined upwards from the hem of the cheongsam amidst several blood-red other shore flowers, perfectly accentuating her graceful figure and pronounced wickedness.

However, a complicated black gauze shawl made Lou Ji’s unseeable soft abyss somewhat visible.

This grand temptress had also followed him all the way from Guangyang Prefecture.

But this old lady had not come expressly to escort him, nor was she returning to the Imperial Capital to report. She was simply taking the same route southward as him, purely coincidentally.

According to her own words, she had discovered something and wanted to investigate it personally in Wanyao Valley.

Back in Shengshan County, Xu Yuan had given her a whopping ten million taels to investigate Wanyao Valley. With no news for a long time, he even thought his money had been lost to no result, but it seemed now that the investigation was just ongoing.

This woman, although she enjoyed teasing him both verbally and physically, was actually quite reliable when it came to getting things done.

After finishing the fragrant tea, Xu Yuan put down the porcelain cup and muttered in a low voice,

"Sis, can you knock on the door next time you enter?"

"Hmm?"

Lou Ji smiled, staring at him, her nose lightly sniffing the dragon Yen tea, a specialty of the Northern Frontier, and then curved her eyes into a smile,

"Changtian, if you diligently cultivate, maybe you’ll sense your sister’s presence someday?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes directly at her.

Catch up to her? Heh, woman.

He used to only know that this old lady was very strong, but he did not have a clear concept of how strong.

After all, for the him of that time, anyone above the level of Great Grandmaster could dispose of him with just a flick of a finger, or even a glance, let alone Mortal Transcendence realm’s Lou Ji.

It was the same principle as ordinary people looking at the money owned by a wealthy person.

But ever since his journey to the Underground Palace made him a being comparable to a Semi-Saint, he had gained a much clearer understanding of the higher realms.

However, compared to this understanding, Xu Yuan realized that Lou Ji’s strength actually relied more on her own spirit vision.

His own spirit vision, created by the fusion of that foreign spirit with a human, still could not sense the slightest trace of her presence.

Even,

When he first scanned her body with spirit vision, Lou Ji immediately had the intent to kill, and the horrific aura almost caused Xu Yuan to be mistakenly killed.

Of course, that killing intent was not directed at Xu Yuan.

Because she thought someone was covertly observing her.

In other words, Lou Ji could sense spirit vision in return.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan tentatively used his spirit vision to take another glance at her.

Then,

He saw a slender jade hand reach out toward his forehead.

"Bang!"

A crisp and clean knock on the head.

It hurt quite a bit.

With a lazy demeanor, Lou Ji withdrew her hand, humming lightly,

"That kind of sensing technique is very uncomfortable, I don’t like it."

"Uncomfortable?" Xu Yuan was slightly curious.

"Hmm..."

Lou Ji wrapped her arms around her chest, pondering slightly, with a slender finger tapping her chin, then suddenly said with a smile, "It’s somewhat like being stripped naked and standing in front of you."

"....."

Xu Yuan’s gaze sharpened, his mind flashed for a moment, and then, rubbing the swelling on his brow with a frown, he spoke discontentedly,

"Your arbitrary entry into people’s rooms makes me very uncomfortable too."

Lou Ji leaned forward slightly, teasing with her head pushed forward and eyes closed,

"Then you can flick your sister too."

Xu Yuan just looked at her indifferently, not moving.

He wasn’t going to fall for it.

Flicking her would still hurt himself, similar to when he started his cultivation journey and spanked Ying’er on the bottom back in Jingjiang Prefecture.

Seeing that he wasn’t taking the bait, Lou Ji opened her eyes and pouted, but then she spoke seriously,

"Changtian, I won’t ask where you got this technique from, but you better not use it casually in front of others.

"Those who can detect it should not act against you out of respect for your father, but once some reach a certain level of cultivation, some reactions become instinctual, and not everyone recognizes you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression became slightly solemn as he nodded lightly,
