Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 646 Never Give Up: Gu Xun'er (3k2)

After taking a bath.

After being nourished by Hun Ruoruo's Xuan Shui Dou Qi, Xun'er's internal injuries accumulated from the battle were completely swept away. Her skin was fair and rosy, and her pretty face was flushed with a delicate pinkish glow, making her look exceptionally healthy.

"Well"

Looking at the most familiar face in the mirror, Xun'er felt as if she were in a dream, and could hardly believe her current appearance.

Is this the special ability of Xuan Shui Dou Qi?
She couldn't resist reaching out her little hand and pinching her cheek hard.

"Hiss—it hurts!"

Xun'er was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She quickly snapped out of her daze and turned to look at the white-haired girl on the side of the changing room:

"I knew it! That's why Brother Xiao Yan's appearance has become so outstanding. It turns out you already did this to him back in Wutan City!"

Hun Ruoruo bent down and lifted the small piece of black fabric, lightly slipping it over her legs:
"so what?"

With that, a soft 'snap' sound rang out, and the elastic fabric tightened around her thighs, creating a dazzling, rippling effect.

"."

The veins on Xun'er's forehead bulged.

Not to be outdone, she tried to imitate the other woman by lifting the fabric as well, but no matter how much she stuck her little bottom out, she couldn't replicate the other woman's movements and had to give up reluctantly.

"asshole.!"

Xun'er gritted her teeth in anger, and for the first time, she felt a hint of malice towards Xiao Yan.

In her memory, ever since Xiao Yan grew up, his gaze would always unconsciously linger on those voluptuous women. Even if he realized it was impolite, he would always blush with embarrassment because of the boy's budding romance.

It seems that this hateful Soul Clan demoness, or Ya Fei from the Mittel Auction House, or even her cousin Xiao Yu who is also a member of the clan, can make Xiao Yan steal a few glances at their figures.

Looking at myself, I don't even appreciate body shape; I still call myself "little sister," "little tagalong," or even "little brat."
What's wrong with being barren?!
Besides, she's only in her early twenties and hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet. She'll grow even taller in the future!
"A lousy man who doesn't know how to appreciate things."

Xun'er muttered to herself, mentally berating Xiao Yan.

If Hun Ruoruo knew what Xun'er was thinking at this moment, she would definitely suspect that the other person had been replaced. It would be a pipe dream for this silly girl to take the initiative to criticize Xiao Yan.

Of course, she clearly didn't have much free time at the moment. She quickly put on her clothes, and once she was dressed, she headed towards the door.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"Well, the Pill Gathering is supposedly open to the entire Central Continent. Even if they are dissatisfied with the Soul Palace, they can only grit their teeth and accept our participation. Since an opportunity is presented to us, we should naturally try to seize it."

"I see."

Xun'er nodded slightly, about to leave to see him off, but then, as if realizing something, she suddenly stopped in her tracks:
"and many more!"

"According to the intelligence we have, the person from your Soul Hall who will be attending the Pill Gathering is most likely Elder Mu Gu. Why are you going to join in this fun?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's gaze sharpened slightly. She turned to look at Xun'er, whose face showed caution, and smiled gently.
"So soon they've started using connections to probe the movements of my Soul Palace?"

Xun'er stared intently at her:
"Don't try to change the subject. The Pill Gathering has always been a grand event in Zhongzhou. Moreover, this time, the Medicine Venerable, a former champion, is also participating. It's impossible for your Soul Palace not to be tempted."

"Hun Ruoruo, he is your master!"

Compared to before, Xun'er's attitude was much colder, and she seemed to be doing business as if it were a formality.

Xun'er clearly understood the principle that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake far better than those corrupt ancient clan elders.

She knew that as a newly emerging righteous force in Zhongzhou, the Ancient Society's development would absolutely require the support of the Pill Tower, the leader of the righteous path. Even if they couldn't form an alliance, they should at least establish a good relationship with them.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for her to sit idly by and watch the Soul Hall disrupt the Pill Gathering, so she naturally ended up on the opposite side of the Soul Hall.

This is an inevitable trend, and a struggle for interests where personal feelings are irrelevant.

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo not only showed no sign of panic, but also nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, you recognize this point, and you truly deserve the title of leader of the Ancient Society."

Having said that, before Xun'er could respond, she suddenly changed the subject, her tone ambiguous, and said:
"However, now that you know Yao Chen is my master, haven't you ever thought about why I wanted to become his disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's eyes flickered slightly, and she frowned almost imperceptibly.

She hadn't really thought carefully about why the other party wanted to become a disciple of the Medicine Master.

If it were an ordinary person, this question would probably not need any reason at all; the fact that the other party has the cultivation of a Nine-Turn Dou Zun and the title of the number one alchemist on the continent would be enough.

But, that person just happens to be Hun Ruoruo.

In terms of cultivation, the Soul Clan is full of powerful figures, many of whom are stronger than Yao Chen. In terms of soul, the Soul Clan is an ancestral being, unmatched by any of the eight clans.

She couldn't possibly have gone to learn alchemy, could she?
Xun'er looked at him strangely, and was about to deny her idea when she saw a ball of dark blue flame, like flowing water, suddenly rise in the black-dressed girl's hand.

A faint green shimmered in the water, and in just a short moment, an orange-yellow pill engraved with patterns shot out from it.

The rich aroma of rice filled the room, making it incredibly tempting.

“You—” Xun’er’s pupils dilated in shock.

"Here, this is for you." A sly glint flashed in Hun Ruoruo's eyes as she casually tossed the pill to her, then reached out and pinched Xun'er's soft little face:
"Don't say that your sister is bullying you. At this Pill Gathering, our Soul Palace will indeed send out Sequence Celestial Venerables. If you want to hinder our plans, then show us your true abilities."

"So much time has passed, and if you can't even win once, your so-called 'stealing a man' will probably just be empty talk, hehe~"

What seemed like the whispers of a young girl in her boudoir had now transformed into a bewitching, enchanting sound. Even though Hun Ruoruo's figure had long since vanished, the sound still lingered and could not be dispelled for a long time.

"."

A series of teasing laughs reached her ears, but Xun'er did not lose control of her emotions as before. Instead, she silently tightened her grip on the pill in her palm.

"Do you want me to admit defeat?"

Golden flames flickered in Xun'er's eyes, brewing an unprecedented fighting spirit:
"Although the Celestial Venerables of the Sequence are powerful, our Ancient Society may still have the strength to fight them!"

She hastily put on her clothes, hurriedly walked out of the room, and rushed into the ancient hall.

Inside the main hall of the ancient gathering.

Elder Lin and the others who were originally guarding outside the hall were now kneeling silently below the hall, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

After an unknown amount of time, Elder Lin, the most senior member of the family, finally couldn't hold back any longer and forced himself to speak:
"Miss."

Xun'er shifted her gaze slightly, her voice indifferent:
"I have already given you all ample face in front of outsiders. Do you need me to teach you how to address each other during the meeting?"

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Elder Lin's extremely respectful attitude, Xun'er's expression softened slightly, and she casually waved her hand:

"Have you made proper arrangements for the two Celestial Venerables of the Soul Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief and bowed respectfully.
"Reporting to the President, I have already followed your orders and sent those two Soul Palace Celestial Venerables back to the Soul Palace without the slightest error!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up and steal a glance at Xun'er's current appearance.

To be honest, Elder Lin really couldn't understand how such a big change could have occurred in just half a day after the young lady and that Soul Clan girl shared a room.
If you say she's been wronged, her demeanor is like a lotus emerging from water, a complete transformation from before; but if you say she hasn't been wronged, the resentment on her face seems about to overflow.

Is this considered a friendship between the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan?

Ancient Emperor above, how could I have such a dream?
Recalling Xun'er's terrifying methods, Elder Lin couldn't help but shudder and quickly abandoned his plan to report to the clan.

This kind of taboo matter is not something a nobody like him can participate in.

"correct."

The young girl's clear, cool voice reached his ears, and Elder Lin was instantly jolted awake, bowing respectfully.

"If there is anything you need to ask, young chairman, I will answer it to the best of my ability."

Xun'er nodded and asked what was on her mind:
"Elder Lin, among everyone present, you have been in Zhongzhou the longest. Do you know anything about the Medicine Venerable Yao Chen?"

As a member of an outsider clan of the ancient tribe, Elder Lin had roamed the Central Plains for a long time and even had exchanges with leaders of the Three Valleys level such as Tang Zhen and Binghe. Naturally, he had the most extensive understanding of the Central Plains.

As expected, upon hearing this, Elder Lin was first taken aback, then frowned and pondered:
"To be honest, Miss, I do know quite a bit about the Medicine Venerable Yao Chen. I was there watching the grand alchemy gathering back then."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of those around him immediately filled with a hint of envy.

Even the proud Eight Clans had heard of the grand gathering that Yao Chen was in, and ordinary outsiders like them were even more fascinated by this story of rising from humble beginnings.

Xun'er's eyes also brightened slightly as she continued to ask:
"Does Elder Lin know why this Medicine Venerable Yao Chen has become enemies with the Soul Palace?"

Elder Lin's brows furrowed even deeper:
"As far as I know, Yao Chen's feud with the Soul Hall probably dates back to the past pursuit. You should know that alchemists' souls are often extremely powerful, and Yao Chen has no powerful backing, so it's no surprise that they've targeted him."

That smooth-talking old man.
Hearing the other person's tongue-twisting words, which sounded like nonsense, Xun'er tapped the back of her chair and said impatiently:
"There's no need to worry about my relationship with that woman. Elder Lin, just tell me who has a grudge against Yao Chen."

Elder Lin broke out in a cold sweat, but ultimately responded repeatedly, uttering a name:
"The Eight Heavenly Venerables' Imprisonment Ground".

Meanwhile, in the Tiangang Hall, the Fourth Heavenly Venerable Hall.

The burly man, who was meticulously polishing the giant blade, suddenly felt a twitch in his heart and abruptly stood up from his seat, his face grim and uncertain.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Xuehe frowned and asked in a low voice.

"No, it's nothing."

Prisoner shook his head and sat back down in his seat.

Blood River's crimson eyes narrowed slightly, his voice as cold as a snake's hiss:

"Seizing Yao Chen's soul is the key to our breaking through the restrictions, and I do not wish for any mishaps."

"Yes, Fourth Brother."

Prisoner responded sullenly, but a strange feeling lingered in his heart.

I feel like I've been set up.
