Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Terrifying Woman

"Alright, none of this is the point. The point is that my actions constituted as betrayal to Shennv Xuanhui. As a result, the eldest sister led a group to find me in the outer realm, and I knew I stood no chance against them." After saying this, fear flashed through Lin Xi’s eyes as if she still held trepidation for Shennv Xuanhui after hundreds of years.

Su Hui then asked, "What happened next? Did they find you? Did you two fight?"

To this, Lin Xi shook her head, "Originally, I planned to abandon the ancient Qian Ye country and flee. However, at that time, I happened to meet a protector from the Eternal Life Clan. This person brought me something related to the secret of eternal life. Seeing this as a divine omen, I planned to attain eternal life energy to fight against Shennv Xuanhui. But I found that what he brought was not the complete formula. I couldn’t gain eternal life, but I could reincarnate, so I chose this method to escape from the pursuit of Shennv Xuanhui."

"Oh, so that’s how it is." Gu Fan understood, but his brow furrowed, "But why are you telling us all this? It’s been several hundred years, people from Shennv Xuanhui should be almost extinct by now. Even with a few inheritors left, they wouldn’t relentlessly pursue you, would they?"

"At first, I thought so too, but I was wrong," said Lin Xi, followed by a bitter smile. "In the floating islands of the ancient super civilization, we discovered a room with numerous sleeping pods. Inside that room was a painting of a Phoenix spreading its wings amidst the sky, its body marked with the character Xuan."

Gu Fan was confused, "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that the Shennv Xuanhui also went there?"

Lin Xi nodded, "I think Shennv Xuanhui not only visited there, but they also took several sleeping pods. They probably planned to extend their lifespan through hibernation, perhaps they have been asleep for hundreds of years, just waiting for my reincarnation, to seek revenge against me."

Lu Yi shook his head continuously, "No way, what on earth did you do to make them so hell-bent on taking you down?"

"I didn’t do anything, just left Shennv Xuanhui without permission. In my eyes, it was merely a diverging path, but in their eyes, I was a traitor." Lin Xi’s explanation was simple, but everyone’s looks were disdainful. Who knew what sort of dreadful act Lin Xi could have committed back then.

Lin Xi immediately raised her hand, "I swear, I swear, I really didn’t do anything, I just left."

"Alright, alright, let’s not think about that. Let’s just assume we believe you." Su Hui quickly redirected the conversation, "What you said happened hundreds of years ago. Is it related to us now?"

Lin Xi nodded, a bitter smile on her face, "Yes, because I suspect that the members of Shennv Xuanhui have appeared and they have found me."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned to shock, and Su Hui asked again, "How do you know the members of Shennv Xuanhui have appeared?"

Lin Xi pointed to the television, "I saw it on the news. Sister Su, aren’t you curious why recently the oppressed women suddenly resist, and could even beat the men who bullied them to a pulp, begging on their knees? Doesn’t that seem abnormal?"

"Yes, indeed, could it be..." Su Hui frowned, and Lin Xi helplessly confirmed, "That’s right, Shennv Xuanhui has a member named Qian Ying who is very good at controlling others’ minds and bodies. She also hates men who bully women the most. She often controls oppressed and weak women to resist those men. Now you should understand."

Su Hui nodded, "I see. I guess all these similar cases were Qian Ying’s doing."

Jie became worried, "No way, she can control people’s wills and bodies. What do we do if we run into her?"

Lin Xi calmly responded, "If Qian Ying wants to use this trick, she needs to touch the others’ bodies first. Otherwise, she has no way."

"So that means as long as we do not let strange women touch us, we’ll be alright." After Lu Yi finished speaking, he felt it was quite simple since these days, girls won’t easily let you touch them or would willingly touch you.

However, everyone was looking at Gu Fan with skeptical eyes which made him blush. He asked defensively, "What are you looking at? Do I have words on my face?"

Then Gu Fan met Lin Xi’s meaningful gaze which made him shrink a little and quickly changed the topic, "Lin Xi, are you telling us this because it’s related to what happened to Xiaoling last night?"

Lin Xi gave a bitter smile, "Exactly, last night Qian Ying controlled Yang Xinran and lured me into the woods. I almost got caught. Luckily Xiaoling found Qian Ying’s real body and knocked her out, allowing me to escape."

Hearing this, Jie immediately understood, "Earlier, I helped Xiaoling distract two guys. I almost got beaten up by these two, but then they suddenly left, leaving me confused. It turns out that after Xiaoling knocked Qian Ying out, the two men controlled by her also woke up."

"That’s right, we owe it all to Xiaoling last night." As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Gu Fan immediately got anxious, "This is too reckless, Xiaoling ran into a very dangerous woman. Jie, if such a thing happens again, don’t let Xiaoling take risks, at least notify me immediately."

Jie immediately nodded, thinking back to last night, it was indeed pretty unnerving. They should never try something this risky again.

Su Hui gritted her teeth, "This Qian Ying is really dangerous. Last time at the fighting club, that girl who was calling for fights, I couldn’t even beat her. She must be one of Qian Ying’s works."

Lin Xi replied, "Qian Ying is not that incredible. She only knows one trick, which is to control others’ minds and bodies. Aside from this skill, she’s just an ordinary person. Thus, when Xiaoling slapped her to wake her up, Qian Ying couldn’t do anything."

"Oh, I see. So, we just need to find Qian Ying’s real body to defeat her." When everything became clear, everyone felt quite excited as it seemed like it wouldn’t be too difficult to take down a member of Shennv Xuanhui.

However, as a friend, Lin Xi reminded them, "Every time she casts a spell to control others, she needs to concentrate her mind and won’t move from her position. This is the easiest and the hardest time to take her down. In theory, as long as we find her real body, we will win. But in reality, it’s hard to say. Qian Ying used to control only one person at a time, but now she can control several at the same time, and those who are controlled by her also become several times more powerful."
