Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 711 Gu Yuan's Secret (2k8)

"Brother Xiao Yan?"

Hun Ruoruo looked at the girl in front of her, her voice seemingly drawn out: "I really didn't expect that Sister Xun'er would care so much about her cousin, waiting here alone for three months. It makes me a little worried."

"Stop changing the subject!"

Xun'er glared at her fiercely, "Don't think I don't know, the Three Thousand Burning Flames couldn't possibly trap you. What did you do to him?!"

Back when they sparred at the ancient gathering, Xun'er had a very clear understanding of Hun Ruoruo's strength. Because of this, she was very clear about just how terrifying the woman in front of her was.

This understanding reached its peak after the Dan Conference.

The terrifying fluctuations that pierced the sky back then even made Xun'er suspect that Hun Ruoruo's bloodline power was even above her own!
In other words, if she wanted to, breaking free from the constraints of the star field would be as easy as lifting a finger!

"What do you think I would do to him, little sister Xun'er?"

Seeing that she couldn't change the subject, Hun Ruoruo curled her lips into a half-smile and asked in return.

Without thinking, Xun'er blurted out, "Of course, that goes without saying."

"Yes"

"."

The words stopped abruptly, and Xun'er was also lost in confusion.

Yes, what will they do?
Holding hands, hugging, even kissing. These intimate gestures, which are already embarrassing enough in their own eyes, have probably been done by these two in private long ago.

After all, they are a couple, a legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend.

More intimate gestures, however, seemed to touch on Xun'er's blind spots in knowledge.

As a noble and extraordinary young lady of an ancient clan, Xun'er was strictly disciplined by the clan elders from a young age and had no knowledge of matters between men and women. No matter how talented she was, she could not possibly imagine things she had never experienced.

Even after arriving at Canaan Academy, when she was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, few dared to talk to her about these private matters because of her beauty and temperament, as if speaking would be a desecration of the academy's goddess.

But Xun'er didn't actually want to be this so-called goddess.

She considers herself a normal person, with emotions and desires, and the blushing and heart-pounding feelings unique to girls.

So, she really is. I really want to know!
Thinking of this, Xun'er clenched her fists, and her teeth made a grinding sound.

Watching Xun'er's ever-changing pretty face, Hun Ruoruo's eyes closed slightly, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips, like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit.

"Want to know?"

"Of course! Whatever you say."

"Chuckles, little sister Xun'er is really not honest enough."

Hun Ruoruo smiled brightly, but her words seemed to have a deeper meaning: "No wonder I couldn't get the answer I wanted."

The girl's voice was soft and leisurely, yet it was like an invisible hammer that pierced through Xun'er's heart.

She suddenly raised her head, her dark eyes flashing with what seemed like golden fire, and said with a grim expression, "You eavesdropped on me?"

Is there something about you that I could eavesdrop on?

Hun Ruoruo chuckled but did not respond. Instead, she raised her hand and conjured a water mirror, which she then placed in front of Xun'er.

What came into view was a little girl who looked like a kitten.

Her cheeks were delicate, her eyebrows elegant, and the wisps of hair on her forehead were scattered messily, yet they did not detract from her beauty. Only her eyes were red, like persimmons that had ripened in the morning.

It was none other than Xun'er.

Seeing this, Xun'er was clearly flustered, never expecting that her embarrassing state would appear so openly in front of Hun Ruoruo.

She wiped her face vigorously, the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame drying her tears, but it couldn't erase the traces left in her eyes.

That's strange.

Xun'er lowered her head, rubbing her eyes repeatedly, her voice slightly broken: "I already wiped them off, why?"

"Xun'er."

The sudden sound in her ear made Xun'er raise her head in confusion.

"There's no need to force yourself to do things that your parents can't do," Hun Ruoruo said calmly.

Suddenly, Xun'er felt her vision blur, as if everything was shrouded in a layer of mist.

She knew she seemed to be crying.

In front of this woman she hated most, yet admired most, her emotions surged like a burst dam, crashing through all defenses and tearing open all the wounds in her heart.

"Can I borrow your shoulder?" Xun'er's small voice rarely carried a pleading tone, "Just for a little while."

"."

Hun Ruoruo glanced around, flicked her fingertips, and an invisible barrier covered Xun'er's body, also concealing her vulnerability at this moment.

"Please go ahead." Her voice sounded somewhat helpless.

“Tattoo.”

With a series of hurried footsteps, Xun'er bumped headfirst into Hun Ruoruo's arms, her body instantly enveloped by a warm and soft touch.

In fact, just like Xiao Yan, Xun'er had no memory of her mother, and even the image of her father in her mind had gradually faded away.

All the loneliness and desolation she had felt before paled in comparison to the relaxation she felt now. No wonder Brother Xiao Yan liked her.

If Hun Ruoruo insists on calling herself a bad person, Xun'er would rather call her a good person among bad people.

She, like me, is a hypocrite.

"elder sister."

Xun'er whispered in a voice so faint that she herself didn't even realize it.

Seemingly noticing the questioning look in Hun Ruoruo's eyes, she quickly shook her head and forced a smile: "Nothing. I mean, do you know something?"

Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes narrowed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly nodded: "Perhaps."

In fact, she had already noticed something was wrong back in Burning Flame Valley.

Huoyun Laozu, who was a Dou Sheng, once said that among the five people who stood at the top of the continent, one of them was more seriously injured than Hun Tiandi.

Leaving aside the three who are already dead, there is naturally only one answer left.

It was Gu Yuan.

As for Gu Yuan, Hun Ruoruo didn't actually know much about him. Although she knew that he had the personality of a ninja, she didn't know where that personality came from.

However, the only thing that is certain is that Gu Yuan was also part of the Soul Emperor's scheme!
"Although it's not entirely certain yet, it seems to be the only way that makes sense."

Hun Ruoruo narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly, "If we want to know the truth, we probably have to take Xiao Yan to the Heavenly Tomb."

Xun'er's pupils contracted sharply: "You mean..."

Hun Ruoruo smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing: "The one who tied the knot must untie it. The people who were responsible for that year's events should naturally come forward to explain."

"."

Xun'er's expression shifted between light and dark. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly clenched her fist, as if she had made a great decision: "Can you fight for Xiao Yan's spot?"

"uncertain."

Hun Ruoruo shook her head: "You should be able to see that my position in the clan is not as secure as you think. The Hun clan has always valued strength, and my father agrees with this. If you want to take him into the Heavenly Tomb, I'm afraid I have to become the young clan leader first."

Since it concerns the quota for the Heavenly Tomb, even Hun Ruoruo must be fully prepared.

That's why she told Xun'er about it, in order to have a double guarantee.

"In that case."

Xun'er suddenly broke free from Hun Ruoruo's embrace, revealing a bright smile, her red-rimmed eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Then let's each rely on our own abilities?"

Hun Ruoruo paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, a sly glint in her deep eyes: "Okay."

Regardless of who succeeds, the ultimate beneficiary will only be her ecstatic man; this is a gamble that can't fail.

She can't even see that? What a stupid little sister.

But.

Having such a silly younger sister isn't so bad, though.
Hun Ruoruo did not linger. She had been away from the clan for too long and obviously had many things to deal with. After giving Xun'er a few brief instructions, she quickly left the Xuanmu Spirit Platform.

It's worth mentioning that before leaving, Hun Ruoruo took out some strange picture books to show Xun'er, trying to help her learn some common sense, but was rejected by Xun'er in a righteous manner and was detained, with the claim that they had to be burned.

Helpless, Hun Ruoruo had no choice but to reluctantly hand over her treasured possessions.

After she left, Elder Lin and his companion carefully made their way to Xun'er's side.

"Miss?"

"What is it?" Xun'er answered casually.

"."

Looking at the spirited young girl before them, Elder Lin and Elder Du exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

Miss, you've come to terms with it so quickly?
Elder Lin was surprised, then said with a hint of certainty, "You've decided to return to your clan?"

"Go back, why wouldn't you go back?"

"Young Master Xiao Yan, are you not going to wait any longer?"

"Even that woman came out unharmed, so how could Brother Xiao Yan possibly be in trouble?"

Xun'er waved her hand, interrupting, "There's no time to lose. Let's set off to return to our clan now. I've been traveling around Zhongzhou for too long, and I'd like to find a quiet place to read some books."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin and Elder Duan both breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.

"Miss is so learned and knowledgeable; it is truly a blessing for our ancient clan!"

They knew that among the younger generation of the ancient clan, only Xun'er had a special love for books, and it was precisely because of this that her fighting skills and experience far surpassed those of her peers.

Miss is truly eager to learn.

Tears welled up in the old eyes of Elder Lin and his companion.

Ignoring their flattery, Xun'er stared intently at the thick stack of sketchbooks, her breathing heavy, as if she had opened Pandora's box.

"This time, I will never lose again!"
