Chapter 388: What Kind of Expression Will He Have?

“Qiqi, Qiqi, did you encounter something happy?”

In the inner palace of the Demon Capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, in the back garden of the palace where the Sixth Princess lived.

The Sixth Princess, She Liu, walked up to her younger sister carrying freshly made Osmanthus Cakes.

What she saw was her sister’s lips slightly curled upward.

She Qiqi actually smiled quite often, each time a faint, gentle smile.

Rumor had it that every time She Qiqi smiled, someone would die, or many people would die.

This rumor was actually true.

However, She Liu didn’t think that was her sister’s true “smile.”

In reality, her sister’s smile wasn’t that terrifying.

On the contrary, her sister looked very cute when she smiled, and after growing up, she even had a hint of charm.

For example, now.

“There aren’t any interesting things, but there is an interesting man.”

She Qiqi pulled up her sleeve, revealing her fair wrist, and gently pinched an Osmanthus Cake made by her sister.

“A man?” She Liu’s eyes blinked softly. “Is it that man from the Myriad Laws World you mentioned last time, named Lin Xun?”

“He’s not just called Lin Xun. Let me count…”

She Qiqi flicked her fingers.

“He’s also called Diao Zhen Da, Ri Dangwu, and Shang Hetu. Oh, and there’s also Lin Pei. How about it? Doesn’t he have many names?”

“This person? Is there anything special about him?” She Liu brewed a cup of green tea for her sister.

“Hmm, he’s the strongest man I’ve ever seen. So strong that I can’t wait to kill him immediately, otherwise, I won’t even be able to sleep peacefully.”

She Qiqi’s eyes curved slightly, her sweet smile carrying a soft killing intent, and even a bit of coldness.

It was like a knife made of candy frozen by ice and snow.

But no matter what it was made of, a knife was a knife; as long as it was sharp, it could kill.

“But killing him is too much trouble, and it would be a pity. Besides, he is my possession.”

She Qiqi continued.

“It’s just that… I didn’t expect him to actually marry a mortal woman as his wife.”

She Liu said in surprise, “A Cultivator married a mortal woman?”

“That’s right, Sister.”

She Qiqi’s smile deepened.

Although She Qiqi’s smile didn’t look any different from before.

She Liu knew that the killing intent in her sister’s heart had grown even stronger.

“Sister, you might not even imagine it, but I, your sister, actually can’t compare to an ordinary mortal woman.”

“Qiqi, could it be that you… toward that Lin Xun…”

She Liu found that she was already somewhat unable to keep up with her sister’s train of thought.

“Do you really like him?”

“Like? Hahaha.”

She Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, then let out a clear, bell-like laughter.

“It’s not that I like him,” She Qiqi said with a smile. “It’s just that in all the world, only he is qualified to be my breeding partner.”

She Liu held her sister’s delicate and smooth little hand. “But Qiqi… he’s already married… and he’s also from the Myriad Laws World…”

“So what if he’s married? As long as it’s something I want, I will definitely get it. And… Sister, while investigating his wife, I discovered something interesting.”

“Hmm?” She Liu tilted her head.

“It’s just my guess for now, not yet certain, but…”

She Qiqi took a gentle sip of tea.

“If my guess is true, then I’m really looking forward to seeing his expression.”

In the courtyard, Lin Xun opened the envelope.

The scent of She Qiqi wafted from the envelope, making Lin Xun’s heart tense.

Lin Xun even had an impulse to throw the letter away on the spot.

After all, he really couldn’t see through She Qiqi.

In Lin Xun’s heart, this woman, She Qiqi, was far more terrifying than the legendary Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Clan.

But in the end, Lin Xun took a deep breath and carefully unfolded the letter.

There was nothing suspicious about the letter itself.

The content written in the letter was the method for “Star Eyes Undergoing Tribulation.”

This was something She Qiqi had promised him back in the Rootless Secret Realm.

At that time, Lin Xun thought She Qiqi had just run off.

But she had actually given him what she promised.

It was just that Lin Xun felt She Qiqi’s intelligence-gathering abilities were somewhat terrifying.

He didn’t expect her to find out so quickly that he had joined the Zilin Holy Land.

Not only that, she even knew which courtyard he was staying in within Tianji City.

Lin Xun suspected that she had already obtained information regarding Qinger.

But whether she knew or not didn’t matter anymore.

Since Qinger had entered the Zilin Holy Land, She Qiqi wouldn’t be able to pull any tricks.

Regarding the “Star Eyes Undergoing Tribulation” written in the letter, it stated that any medicinal herbs only served as supplements and could not completely solve the problem.

The Cultivator in the Demon Race World who had lived for over a thousand years but died during the final tribulation hadn’t just taken medicine; more importantly, they had found someone to undergo the tribulation with them.

This method of undergoing a Life Tribulation was created by the Dao Companion of that Star Eyes Cultivator back then, who didn’t want their partner to perish just like that.

So she created a Spell to link their Great Daos and Divine Souls.

Then, the other party would share the burden.

This Spell was called the “Concentric Knot.”

However, during the final tribulation, the two were unable to overcome it together and both lost their lives.

She Qiqi had also very meticulously attached the “Concentric Knot” Spell to the envelope.

But Lin Xun was deeply skeptical of the Spell She Qiqi had provided.

Furthermore, over a thousand years had passed since the death of that person with Star Eyes in the Demon Race World.

Times change.

Today, a thousand years later, it might not be impossible to cure it with Medicinal Pills.

But just in case, Lin Xun still put the Spell away.

Lin Xun planned to sneak into the City Lord’s Manor of Tianji City and wait for Wang Xing to pass this tribulation first.

If there really was a problem, he would have no choice but to use the “Concentric Knot” Spell.

At the very end of the letter, there was also a message from She Qiqi:

“Regarding your wife, I have a very, very big secret I want to tell you.

But, I’m just not going to tell you right now.

One day, I will tell you in person, because I really want to know what kind of expression you’ll have then.”

Qinger’s secret?

Lin Xun frowned and thought for a moment, then just smiled.

What secret could Qinger possibly have?

Even if she had a secret, so what?

Qinger would never harm him.

For She Qiqi’s final message, Lin Xun didn’t take it to heart at all.

He only kept the “Concentric Knot” Spell, and after burning all the other papers, Lin Xun walked to the residence of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

Lin Xun stated that he had some insights and needed to go into a brief seclusion for a day, hoping they could look after Yaya.

The pair of sisters happily agreed.

Then Lin Xun returned to his room to deduce whether there was any problem with this “Concentric Knot” Spell.

Another day passed.

On the morning of the day after, a ray of sunlight spilled onto the windowsill and reflected on Lin Xun’s closed eyelids.

Lin Xun slowly opened his eyes.

Today, Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony would begin.
