Chapter 394: Empress, I’ll See You Again
Yin and Yang’s strange eyes glanced at the scroll rolled up in Sun Juehu’s hand. Si Xuanji’s mood was waning and she ignored him. She walked to the Starwood chair at the main seat of the hall and sat down. She crossed her legs and raised her hand to snap her fingers.
Despair–
Two inner disciples of the Xuanxing Sect walked out from behind the screen and came to Sun Juehu with a tray. They bowed and one of them served her a cup of tea respectfully, while the other moved the tray to her.
Si Xuanji was quite impatient and nodded perfunctorily, “I accepted it, is there anything else?”
Sun Juehu’s brows twitched slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Si Xuanji’s perfunctory hospitality, but she still had a smile on her face.
She was in Tianfeng Fairy City before and heard from the Royal Guards there that Ye Anping and Si Xuanji’s daughter Xiao Yunluo were already Daoist couples, and they were indeed dual cultivators.
——Did Xiao Yunluo try her best to hide the truth and date Si Xuanji behind her back?
Sun Juehu thought it was unlikely. If a cultivator with Heavenly Spiritual Roots formed the Golden Heavenly Core, it would not be a particularly surprising thing. But Ye Anping used his dual spiritual root qualifications to forge the golden heavenly core and also obtained the Snow Spirit Sword inherited from the Immortal Yunjian.
She didn’t believe that Si Xuanji was not supporting Ye Anping. Coupled with the previous Taibai Sect, Si Xuanji’s sudden loss of composure, and the “Idiot!!!”…
Therefore, Sun Juehu feels:
——Ye Anping must have some qualities that she values extremely, or in other words, some ability that makes her fearful…
Sun Juehu came to Xuanxing Sect to see Si Xuanji this time just to confirm this point.
She had been looking for Si Xuanji’s “weakness” for thousands of years, but so far she have found nothing.
But her feelings told her that her national master’s stargazing technique still had some uses:
“Your Majesty, I was stargazing a few days ago, and I may have some inspiration for Tianfeng Immortal City. If Your Majesty is interested, you can go to Tianfeng Immortal City for a walk, and you may be able to find a good opportunity.”
It was precisely because Chen Yin said these words to her that she disguised herself as her maid, paid a private visit incognito, and went to Tianfeng Immortal City in person to deliver the award warrant to the Xu family sisters…
It was also because she went to Tianfeng Immortal City that she met a young man named Ye Anping. The only thing that made her regretful was that before the snake was frightened by the grass, the boy named Ye Anping suddenly and inexplicably ran away with his wheelchair and the Daoist cultivator…
Sun Juehu smiled but did not put the scroll in her hand on the tray in the hands of the Xuanxing Sect disciple. Instead, she stood up and walked slowly toward Si Xuanji.
Si Xuanji naturally narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of vigilance on her face:
“Um?”
“My sister came today just to honor Sister Danyue. She just came to give her a gift and to ease the relationship between Sister Danyue and my younger sister.”
Sun Juehu walked to the side of Si Xuanji’s Starwood chair and sat directly on the armrest of the chair with her big buttocks. She leaned over and stretched out her hand to squeeze Si Xuanji’s shoulders:
“Sister Danyue, you see, we have been sisters for so many years. In the past, although some unpleasant things happened, for example, sister Danyue accidentally gave away her sister’s master…”
“…”
“Ahem -” Sun Juehu stopped and waved his hand, “Let’s not talk about the past. Sister Danyue, how about we put an end to the past? You see, I have prepared a gift for you. You will like it. Just take a glance, okay?”
Si Xuanji frowned slightly. She didn’t believe that this woman would settle the differences with her, and her eyes returned to the scroll in her hand.
There must be a reason why Sun Juehu wanted her to see this scroll. And there was a high probability that it would be something that would make her feel very uncomfortable.
But what is it?
Sweet talk and give someone a head?
For example, in the first breath, you were talking and laughing about wishing you congratulations, but in the next breath, you brought the head of a Daoist companion or heir in a box…
Or should we say that it’s just a matter of time and again?
But what was the “dagger” in Sun Juehu’s hand? Could it be that there was a broken sword hidden in this scroll?
Si Xuanji was silent for a moment, and then her mind showed the face of the handsome young man sleeping peacefully under her in the small cave in the back mountain of Hundred Lotus Sect during those two years, and she couldn’t help but feel a little worried in her heart.
But she still suppressed this worry and replied expressionlessly:
“I’m not interested in calligraphy and painting.”
“Sister, I guess you know.”
Sun Juehu squeezed Si Xuanji’s shoulder, raised his hand slightly, and the scroll was suspended in front of Si Xuanji, slowly unfolding…
At the same time, Sun Juehu also put her lips to the side of Si Xuanji’s cheek and whispered:
“It’s like this. My sister knows that Sister Danyue is not like my sister, who has a harem of three thousand people, has been alone for thousands of years, and has never had a Daoist companion, so I specially found a good and beautiful young man to dedicate to you, sister.”
At this point, the scroll unfolded halfway, revealing four lines of poetry:
“Ye Dong Jing Cai Han, An De Nong Yun Yue. How many days can it last in a lifetime? Gains and losses are equal to one elixir.”
Then there was a portrait of a handsome young man with excellent painting skills.
Si Xuanji’s childish face and pair of yin and yang eyes did not change at all, but her fair and tender left hand squeezed the armrest of the chair imperceptibly. But Sun Juehu still noticed the slight movement of her left hand and concluded in her heart.
——This boy named Ye Anping is the key to her revenge against Danyue.
Seeing that her sister Danyue was anxious made Sun Juehu happier than anything else. She was so excited at the moment that she had never experienced such a happy thing in thousands of years.
“Haha, do you like him, Sister Danyue? He is so handsome, and he is also a handsome boy with the appearance of a boy. He is the same as Sister Danyue. I also met him by chance.”
Si Xuanji glanced at her: “Not interested.”
When Sun Juehu heard this, she shook her head slightly and sighed, “That’s a pity. Doesn’t Sister Danyue want to taste the joy of dual cultivation? This young girl has tried it. She is very happy and has a good life. I am sure that Sister Danyue will be satisfied.”
Si Xuanji frowned slightly and asked calmly, “When did you have any dealings with that old witch from the Hehuan Sect?”
“Hey, how can I not do this~Sister Danyue, please don’t hurt my younger sister. How can my younger sister, an immortal cultivator, collude with the demonic cultivators?”
“…”
“Sister, I’m just thinking. Sister Danyue, you have lived for so many years and tasted everything in the world, but you have never tasted the joy of harmony and love. Isn’t this going to help my sister make up for this regret? Yes?”
“Not interested.”
Sun Juehu could no longer hide her smile, but she pretended to be depressed and said, “Then just think it’s my sister’s cup of tea. It’ll be wrong for my sister’s preference. But, sister, do you not want it? This young master is so moist. My sister has tasted it for you.”
“Unnecessary.”
“Forget about it…”
Sun Juehu sighed, but the scroll, which had not been fully unfolded, began to roll again, and a gold-handled dagger appeared in the corner of the scroll. She reached out and took the dagger, and drew a silver arc from the center of the scroll along the portrait of Ye Anping.
Whoosh——
The scroll floating in front of Si Xuanji split into two instantly, and then was ignited by a spiritual fire. Before it even hit the ground, it turned into little flying ash and dissipated. .
Then, Sun Juehu moved her butt away from the armrest and took a few steps back:
“Since the gift is not what Sister Danyue wants, it is hard for me to stay with my sister for a long time to enjoy the autumn flowers in the Western Domain. I will wait until I find a gift that Sister Danyue likes next time, and then I will come over to accompany my sister to enjoy the flowers and chat, and then I will leave.”
Sun Juehu turned around and walked outside, but after taking a step, she paused and seemed to remember something again:
“Oh, by the way, my sister also prepared ten kilograms of Hanyue melon seeds for Sister Danyue. This is a specialty of the Northern Domain. Sister Danyue will not refuse this gift, right? My sister likes to eat melon seeds the most, and I know that.”
As she spoke, she picked it up with her sword finger, took out a sack from the storage bag, and placed it gently on the tray of the Xuanxing Sect disciple just now. However, although it did not look heavy, when the sack fell on the tray, the Xuanxing Sect disciple in the Core Formation stage suddenly felt that the tray was several hundred kilograms heavier, and he almost missed it.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his spiritual power to help prevent the sack from falling from the tray to the ground. Sun Juehu was a little disappointed. When she placed the sack, she deliberately added a little more skill. She thought the man wouldn’t be able to bear it and would scatter the melon seeds all over the floor.
It seemed that the strength was too low…
But forget it, she was happy now.
“Junior brother, please take it and don’t scatter it. These Hanyue melon seeds are your sect leader’s favorite.”
The Xuanxing Sect disciple had cold sweat on his face and did not dare to say anything. He nodded.
“Let’s go. Sister Danyue will come to the North Domain when she has time. When the time comes, my sister will host a full banquet of immortals to entertain her.”
After saying that, Sun Juehu directly opened the door of the hall and walked out. Outside the main hall door, the elders of Xuanxing Sect were still waiting there. After seeing Sun Juehu coming out, they all moved their eyes to Mr. Qi’s right hand, waiting for him to give a signal.
Mr. Qi glanced at Si Xuanji sitting on the main seat in the hall with his peripheral vision, and then glanced at Ah Ying who was standing on his shoulder.
Others might not know it well, but Mr. Qi knew it. After all, he chose the most spiritual and perceptive one among thousands of golden-feathered parrots, as well as the most beautiful one, and gave it to Si Xuanji.
In other words, if Ah Ying doesn’t dare to smile playfully, it means that Si Xuanji’s mood has reached an extreme level.
So, Mr. Qi slightly raised his index finger and pointed it, reminding the other elders: “Don’t give him any courtesy!”
Sun Juehu walked to Mr. Qi’s side and smiled:
“Mr. Qi, do you want to come with me to Han Tian Kingdom as a guest?”
“This junior is the dean of the academy. He still has to attend classes, but he doesn’t have time to go to the Northern Domain…”
“Forget it, I won’t stay if I get the chance next time! Farewell…”
Sun Juehu nodded slightly to show respect to Mr. Qi, but Mr. Qi straightened his waist and raised his head. However, Sun Juehu didn’t pay attention. Her figure turned into an arc of ice-blue light, escaped from the main hall, and disappeared into the sea of clouds to the north.
After a while, a certain Nascent Soul stage elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked sad, and let out a sigh of relief:
“Sigh…”
However, Lei Wanjun on the side suddenly glanced at him:
“Old man Wu, what are you thinking like this? If there is a fight with so many of us here, no matter how powerful Sun Juehu is, she will never be able to take advantage. Moreover, this is the Xuanxing Sect, and it is our territory.”
“That’s what I said… and I’m not afraid…” Elder Wu sighed, “The main thing is… there are so many disciples in the sect. This sect leader fights with her, those in the foundation building stage, Qi refining stage, and your little disciples will still be alive?”
Qin Ruyi, the elder of Tianyun Peak, was very calm and said, “Haven’t the foundation-building disciples been asked to take shelter in the mountains behind the Xuanxing Sect? If there is a fight, the most we can do is renovate the lofts on the three peaks of the Xuanxing sect. We can save ourselves the trouble of demolishing some of the old lofts ourselves.”
“Yes, yes, Elder Qin is right.” Lei Wanjun quickly agreed and said, “Anyway, I’m not afraid of that person named Sun. If you want to fight, fight!!! I still want to try it, we can use the Raging Thunder Magical Power to fight back. What does it look like to a cultivator in the void realm? Haha!!”
The elder of Yuequan Peak, who had two thick dark circles under his eyes, looked at Lei Wanjun’s appearance and said, “Elder Lei, now that the wind has stopped, and the rain has stopped, do you think you can do it again? When Sun Juehu came just now, your waist never straightened up.”
“Go, go, go… That’s to respect her, she is still a senior in the void realm. Do you understand that you should pay homage first and then attack with soldiers? Didn’t she run away before I showed my soldiers?”
Everyone was chatting messily, and the atmosphere was no longer so stiff.
After a short while, Mr. Qi said: “Sect Master!” and quickly made the other elders become solemn and bowed towards the door of the hall.
Si Xuanji walked across the threshold with bare feet and walked out. She glanced around the elders at the door expressionlessly, and finally, her eyes fell on Lei Wanjun.
“Lei Wanjun.”
“Yes… the disciple is here.”
Si Xuanji’s tone relaxed slightly and asked, “Are you usually so loud? Why don’t you yell her away when she comes over? If you yell, won’t she have to run away with her tail between her legs?”
“Ah, this…”
Lei Wanjun was suddenly covered in cold sweat. He was already thinking about where he would be sent to do hard work again this time. The last time he bred dragons, the experience was simply…
Fortunately, Mr. Qi quickly stepped forward to save him and asked, “Sect Master, what did she come to do?”
“To give me ten kilograms of melon seeds.” Si Xuanji answered lightly and asked, “I’m going back to sleep, Ah Ying.”
She raised her hand, and Ah Ying heard the sound and jumped over Mr. Qi’s shoulder. He obediently lowered his head and let her touch the golden crown on his head. Then, the figures of one bird and one person turned into starlight and disappeared in front of everyone.
All the elders said in unison: “Best farewell to the sect leader!”
Then they returned to their caves one after another and took the disciples who had been sent to the back mountain one by one back to their respective peaks. The Xuanxing Sect, which was originally silent, soon regained its previous vitality. Sword practicing, farming, and the sound of disciples reading loudly could be heard in the academy…
However, above the middle peak, in the Immortal Mansion under the eternal daylight environment.
Boom–!
As soon as Si Xuanji’s figure appeared, she took a few steps forward and punched a beam made of meteorite black iron. The bird on her shoulder was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, shaking the entire building built on pumice and the immortal palace trembled.
After the punch, her head calmed down a lot, and she now decided that Sun Juehu just wanted to disgust her, so she lied. If Ye kid was caught by her, how could the bell she gave Ye Anping not ring even once?
Because the moon once fell, the Northern Domain was the place where stars were determined. The reason why she didn’t like to go to the Northern Domain was because the cold air and star rhyme in the Northern Domain were too weak, and her star-making skills could only be approximated.
Si Xuanji took a deep breath, calmed down, took out a crystal bell from her waist, shook it twice, smiled lovingly, and asked the bell, “How can you make it up to me? I’ve rarely been so worried about anyone.”
Seeing that Si Xuanji seemed to have calmed down, Ah Ying straightened his tongue, flicked it and said, “Stab him to death!! Stab him to death!!”
Si Xuanji let out a long sigh, but couldn’t help but pinch her collar, feeling a little confused:
——Who is Ye Anping to me?
——I always thought that he was just a sword that could help her fulfill her ambition, but now…
Ah, Ying seemed to have guessed what Si Xuanji was thinking at the moment and tilted her head:
“Not enough? Not enough?”
Si Xuanji’s yin and yang eyes looked at each other for a few breaths, and then she stopped thinking about it and headed straight towards the observatory behind the Immortal Palace.
——Probably it’s just that I haven’t finished it yet.
Pout a few more times until you get tired of it, and it will probably get better…
She couldn’t be a Daoist couple with Ye Anping. Over the past thousands of years, she has seen too many friends end their lives and leave her…
Li Feng, Master Taixu, Daoist Hu Yuan, Baishi Shanren, Yueming Ji…
There were so many that she could read the names alone for three days and three nights…
|5/2\6/6\5/2\2/5\1|
And every time she saw it, she felt very uncomfortable, so every time her friend’s life was about to end, she would avoid seeing him.
Whenever she woke up from her dream, Qiu Shuirou would come over and tell her that so and so was gone…
Although it was better than seeing them leave in person, it was still quite uncomfortable…
Her friend left and she felt very uncomfortable.
What if Daoist companions also leave before her in the future…
Then again, how uncomfortable will it be?
She didn’t want to experience it.
Arriving in front of the star observatory, Si Xuanji sat cross-legged in the center of the star platform, looking up at the endless starry sky above. Each star reflected a little bit of light in those strange yin-yang eyes.
“Shuirou!”
Tread…
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Qiu Shuirou had already arrived there before and helped her get ready:
“Young Master, the formation of Yanxing is ready…”
“I never said I wanted to act as a star before, how did you know?”
“I have followed my young master for so many years, and I have already guessed. Does the little master want to eat pear blossom cake? I am also prepared.”
“Hmph~ Your guess is wrong, I want to taste the roast chicken.”
Qiu Shuirou was a little helpless and sighed:
“Oh… Slave, let’s make it now… Salty or sweet?”
“Well… take one, I’ll try it first and then talk.”
“Good.”
Qiu Shuirou bowed and raised her arm, letting Ah Ying fall from Si Xuanji’s shoulder back onto her arm so as not to disturb Si Xuanji’s stargazing. Then she held Ah Ying down the stairs to the stargazing platform and headed toward the back of the Immortal Palace to the kitchen.
…
She’s scared to take it all the way sad
