Chapter 329: Have We Met Before?

“Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you would be interested in coming to discuss tomorrow’s strategy.”

“Tomorrow’s strategy?”

“Yes, tomorrow marks the low tide of Strange Dragon Mountain. There is a Strange Dragon beneath the mountain. You are likely heading to the base of the volcano tomorrow, but it seems some strange things have happened; the situation has changed.”

“Strange things?”

“Well, it’s hard to explain in a few words, but regardless, the situation has changed. It is best for everyone to discuss it together to prevent any accidents.”

“So noisy.”

Just as Lin Xun was speaking with the Cultivator, She Qiqi, who was in Lin Xun’s arms, frowned and curled deeper into his embrace like a little snake.

She Qiqi, who had been woken up, had a terrible case of morning grumpiness. When she looked at the stranger before her, her eyes were already filled with intense killing intent.

The Fellow Daoist was startled by this killing intent and hurriedly took several steps back.

Clearly, everyone was in the Golden Core Realm, yet he felt that the stunning woman in the man’s arms could kill him in an instant.

“My apologies, my cousin has a bit of a temper when she wakes up. Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist. My cousin and I will head over in a moment.”

Lin Xun apologized, instinctively holding the boneless She Qiqi tighter, fearing her morning temper might actually lead her to kill the man.

She was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

“Alright, but please be quick, Fellow Daoist. The meeting will begin in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”

The man cupped his hands in a salute and quickly turned to leave. The fear stemming from his heart made him seriously suspect that if he stayed any longer, his life might quietly vanish.

“Did you really want to kill him?”

Once the man was far away, Lin Xun asked.

“Hmph, and what if I did?” She Qiqi said dismissively.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. “I don’t care how you were before, but now that you’re with me, if you kill innocents indiscriminately, our cooperation will end.”

She Qiqi yawned. “Since when did the rumored Devil Head who kills without blinking become so compassionate? Is it because of that little Buddhist Maiden from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent?”

Lin Xun did not reply.

“Fine, fine, I get it. I won’t kill him.”

Reluctant to leave the bed, the half-awake She Qiqi leaned against Lin Xun’s neck.

“Unless they truly provoke me, I won’t act personally. They don’t have the qualifications to make me lift a finger.”

After snuggling in Lin Xun’s arms for another half an incense stick’s time, She Qiqi finally brought herself to get up.

She Qiqi stretched, her beautiful curves appearing quite moving under the moonlight. “Speak, what happened? What are you all discussing? What strange things?”

“I’m not entirely sure myself. That Cultivator just came over and told me that some strange things have happened at the giant magma lake of Strange Dragon Mountain, and they want us to join the discussion.”

Lin Xun also stood up to stretch.

Lin Xun would never admit that after She Qiqi fell asleep, he had actually drifted off himself while smelling her scent.

“Inviting us to a discussion?”

She Qiqi smiled, the corners of her mouth curling slightly with disdain.

“Cultivators fight against heaven and against men; no one gives away information for free.

Rather than a discussion, it’s more like they’re worried we’ll act recklessly and disturb that Strange Dragon, causing everyone to perish together.

However, it also shows they don’t understand the current situation and need more people to gather information.

After all, now that the Life Jade is gone, these people are starting to fear death.

While some will definitely hide parts of their intelligence, it’s still better than knowing nothing.

Let’s agree. We’ll join in; it sounds quite fun after all.”

Saying this, She Qiqi stepped forward and looked at Lin Xun with some satisfaction. “Not bad, not bad. You now know to wait for me to make a decision. I’m quite happy.”

“No, I wasn’t waiting for you to decide.” Lin Xun’s brow twitched slightly. “Even if you didn’t agree, I would have dragged you along. I was just informing you. It’s the same whether you agree or not.”

She Qiqi took another step forward, her small foot stepping onto the bridge of Lin Xun’s foot, her soft chest pressing against him. She looked up at him with her enchanting vertical pupils:

“Are you trying to take the chance to see your little lover up close?”

“You can think what you like.” Lin Xun was somewhat speechless, truly not knowing what went through her head all day. “Let’s go, it’s time to head over.”

Watching Lin Xun’s back, She Qiqi tilted her head and smiled before immediately following, though the colors in her eyes shifted and flickered.

Lin Xun and She Qiqi arrived at a large open space where hundreds of people had gathered, far more than they had encountered before.

Lin Xun and She Qiqi also saw the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

At this moment, the Dragon Cry Twin Girls were holding hands and sticking close together, their eyes filled with nervousness as if they suffered from social anxiety.

Under the gazes that occasionally fell upon them, the two girls grew even more shy, keeping their heads lowered.

Looking at these two fragile-looking girls, Lin Xun felt somewhat curious.

Had they caught the fish they were angling for? Why were they appearing here?

“Hey! Brother!”

Lin Xun’s shoulder was slapped heavily.

Turning his head, he saw Zhang Sanfa and the others; Shang Jiuli and Yu Youyou were also there.

“Weren’t you going to look for emperor heart nectar?” Lin Xun asked.

“Don’t mention it. It’s bad luck just talking about it.”

Li Sifa sighed.

“We were originally going deep into the volcano, only to find there was nothing inside the Melting Mountain. Finally, using spiritual perception, we discovered that all the magma was converging toward Strange Dragon Mountain.

Never mind emperor heart nectar and Divine Melting Rock, we didn’t even see a single Fire Velvet Worm (a specialty of Melting Mountain that lives in magma and has miraculous aphrodisiac effects).”

“Later we found out we weren’t the only ones in this situation.” Ge Laowang pouted. “Look, the Dragon Cry Twin Girls didn’t even catch a single Fire Dragon Fish.”

“No wonder so many people suddenly arrived,” Lin Xun noted.

“The situation is indeed strange, but it won’t disturb us.”

Seemingly not having slept enough, She Qiqi yawned, grabbed Lin Xun’s arm to wrap it around herself, and leaned her body against him. “Support me.”

Lin Xun felt this woman was becoming increasingly pushy, but in front of Zhang Sanfa and the others, he couldn’t easily pull his hand away and cause a scene with She Qiqi.

Why was this girl’s waist so smooth and tender? And it felt slightly cool to the touch…

Is this the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan?

Just as Lin Xun was forced to hold She Qiqi…

Suddenly, a voice came from beside him:

“Fellow Daoist, hello. May I ask… have we met before?”

Lin Xun turned his head and saw Sikong Wangxing’s clear and elegant face.

Hearing the voice, She Qiqi, in Lin Xun’s arms, curled her lips slightly.

She Qiqi tilted her head back, her cherry lips parting, and bit Lin Xun’s neck right in front of everyone.
