Let Me Explain, Fairy
Chapter 625 - 399: Two Tianyans?

Chapter 625: Chapter 399: Two Tianyans?

Frost mingled with the thin mist, and the twilight clouds surged like the sea, the leaping flames on the Yin Ghosts’ bodies illuminating Tian Ye’s enchantingly beautiful profile.

She wore a painting-like black dress, her delicate hand holding a sword horizontally in front of her, the blade flipping, a pair of smiling, watery eyes filled with interest as they looked through the cold light cast by the sword at Xu Yuan.

No conversation was needed,

nor any introduction,

for those unique, deep-golden eyes had already revealed the identity of the newcomer.

The Saintess of Jiatiange, Tian Ye.

But compared to the pure and untainted holiness of Tianyan, the temperament of the woman before him was less that of a saintess and more like that of a bewitching woman who had taken countless lives.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes, and Xu Yuan, without thinking, placed his hand on the shoulder of Xia Qing beside him, responding with a chuckle,

"This Azure Edge Sword was originally possessed by an elder of Jiatiange, so for Saintess Your Highness to take it back, it can indeed be considered as returning to its rightful owner."

Tian Ye raised an eyebrow and giggled lightly,

"Brother Jing He speaks incorrectly; since it was taken by you, doesn’t that mean the sword is yours now?"

Calling someone brother at their first meeting...

In that case, she truly was a bewitching woman.

Muttering a complaint in his heart, Xu Yuan’s Origin Qi started to circulate quietly within him, and he laughed out loud,

"Sister Tian Ye is right, since you have taken back the sword now, it belongs to you."

While speaking, footsteps traced invisible patterns, constantly carving into his meridians, and at the same time, a sliver of his Energy Mechanism silently seeped into Xia Qing’s body.

She did not know how Tian Ye had found them, but her unharmed appearance here meant that his original plan must have gone awry.

It could be that Tang Ruofu met with an accident and died during the execution of the plan, or perhaps Tang Ruofu had abandoned Xia Qing regardless of her life or death and turned traitor to Jiatiange again after freeing himself from danger.

Regardless of which situation it was, continuing to keep the bombshell Xia Qing close at hand was too risky now. If he let her go, she might become a great problem for them, full of deep-seated hatred.

To kill her now would undoubtedly be the best choice...

"Seal."

Contemplating, a seductive voice seemed to sound right next to Xu Yuan’s ear.

The Heavenly Word Mantra bridged a hundred paces, instantly causing a forceful halt in the Origin Qi within Xu Yuan.

The black dress swayed, and the slim, fair legs appeared and disappeared beneath it as Tian Ye, toying with the Azure Edge Sword in her hands, walked towards the trio, her voice teasing,

"Brother Jing He, your great name has been long admired by me within Jiatiange for years, and now that we’ve barely met, you want to leave, which truly saddens this sister...."

Feeling the disquiet in his Origin Qi, Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A familiar feeling.

Since he had been fleeing for his life with Tianyan, he had not experienced the sensation of his Origin Qi being forcibly sealed from a distance.

It had to be said, a user of the Yantian Art as an opponent was truly quite irksome.

"Wow... to be long admired by Saintess Your Highness does indeed surprise me, but you see, today my unworthy wife is right beside us. How about, when there’s no one around next time, I have a deep exchange with Saintess you?"

"Hehehe~"

A series of crisp, playful laughter echoed through the silent forest as Tian Ye tilted her head, her eyes teasing with a hint of charm, her tender tongue licking her sensual red lips, "If you want to have a deep exchange with me, with big sister here, isn’t it better?"

At her words, Xu Yuan immediately glanced at Tianyan beside him.

He didn’t understand why the Washboard Saintess had been disengaged since the moment Tian Ye had appeared.

If he remembered correctly, Zhen Yan could counter each other.

Back in the Qionghua Secret Realm, Old Man Luo unexpectedly used the "Release" Zhen Yan to break Tianyan’s "Seal" Zhen Yan.

If Tianyan had used "Release" Zhen Yan to break the adversary’s spell just now, they could have been planning their escape already.

As Xu Yuan turned to look,

Tianyan was not disengaged; her gaze was firmly fixed on Tian Ye walking below, her deep-golden eyes flickering with an incredulous suspicion.

Seeing Tianyan’s abnormal reaction, Xu Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he communicated telepathically,

"Tianyan, what’s wrong?"

No sooner had he spoken than Tianyan’s reminder resonated within Xu Yuan’s heart,

"She can hear your telepathy; something’s off about this woman...."

"Hmm?"

A soft query interrupted Tianyan’s narrative, and Tian Ye stopped in her tracks, her look of suspicion meeting Tianyan’s gaze.

With half-lidded sultry eyes, Tian Ye asked with faint curiosity,

"Why can’t I hear the telepathy from this sister?"

"......"

Tianyan did not speak, but upon hearing the other party’s words, the uncertainty in her eyes intensified.

For a while, a profound silence spread throughout the misty Ghost Forest.

After a pause,

Tian Ye sighed softly,

"No answer, then... Snap."

"...."

The air suddenly solidified, and an almost tangible killing intent enveloped the entire scene.

Benefiting from his experience sparring with Tianyan, Xu Yuan’s Energy Mechanism surfaced beside him, and his body moved a step ahead.

It felt like an instant, yet also like eternity.

The slender silhouette in a black dress materialized out of the void, as Tian Ye crossed the space and appeared right in front of the hovering Tianyan.

The distance between the two women was very close, no more than a meter apart, both pairs of almost indistinguishable deep golden eyes shone with a mystical light.

Tian Ye stared at Tianyan:

"Sister you...."

Blood Ink Jade!

Past sparring experiences with Tianyan allowed Xu Yuan to strike at the very moment Tian Ye appeared.

Using his palm as a sword, the slashing marks of the Ink Sword twisted space as they headed toward Tian Ye’s fair neck, as smooth as mutton fat.

But just as the palm edge was about to slice through Tian Ye’s slender neck, her eyes suddenly darted toward him, and with slightly parted red lips:

"Brother Jing He, I’ve got something to ask sister, so I’m sorry for the moment...

"Scram."

With the word spoken,

Boom!!

A powerful repulsive force erupted abruptly from Tian Ye’s body.

The palm edge froze in place half an inch from Tian Ye’s neck, unable to advance any further, as the intense repulsion drove Xu Yuan’s boots deep into the trunk of a tree as hard as iron.

Amongst the flying sawdust, Xu Yuan was pushed back more than ten meters to stop his momentum.

Next to him, Xia Qing appeared somewhat disheveled; under Tian Ye’s indiscriminate "Scram" Heavenly Word Mantra, she, with her Will-spirit and Origin Qi sealed, was directly turned into a residual shadow and flung backwards.

After breaking two century-old trees, she created a dust storm on the ground.

The mist was vast,

The Yin energy gradually dwindled, and the environment, distorted by the Ghost Domain, slowly returned to normal.

As Tian Ye approached, the white frost that blanketed the withered forest quickly receded, revealing the dark brown soil beneath.

All around, only two graceful silhouettes stood independently in the void.

Tianyan’s face was cold, and her voice had the clarity of a young girl:

"Compared to what you want to know, I have things I wish to understand as well."

Tian Ye blinked and said with a charming smile:

"That’s a good idea; how about we each ask one question?"

"...No need."

Tianyan stared silently at the enchantress-like Tian Ye before her and unexpectedly raised her hand, pointing at Tian Ye’s chest: "I’ll find out on my own."

At the tips of her slender fingers was a tremor that sent chills down the spine.

Tian Ye’s pupils sharply contracted, and she rapidly retreated several meters to dodge the finger, squinting with a smile:

"Sister you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tian Ye’s pupils shrank once again.

A strand of faint but familiar Energy Mechanism had already unknowingly surrounded her body.

It was Dao Charm...

In the next instant,

As the heavens and earth spun, a vast, warping force pulled her body back to its original position.

And Tianyan’s slender fingertip gently touched Tian Ye’s chest.

Hum—

Divine light pierced through the fog, and for a moment, all seemed to come to a halt,

Contrary to Xu Yuan’s expectation, Tianyan’s touch did not bring any harm to Tian Ye.

However, after witnessing the scene that followed, Xu Yuan’s expression gradually turned odd.

In his gaze,

The youthful form of Tian Ye was swiftly expanding.

No, that wasn’t quite right,

To be precise, she was growing at a rate thousands of times faster than normal.

In just a few breaths, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl Tian Ye had transformed into a voluptuous and enchanting beauty. The fabric of her form-fitting black dress emitted the sounds of "zzz" as if it was being torn apart under the strain.

At this moment,

Tian Ye, bereft of her Cultivation Technique to cover her skin and body, stared blankly at the young girl in front of her.

During their gaze,

Tianyan’s golden eyes held scrutiny as she asked:

"Tian Ye,

"Why is your sealed name... not Tianyan?"
