Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 179 Li Muwan's Longing for Her Husband, Lin Che
Suzaku star.

The Zhao Kingdom, a fifth-level cultivation kingdom.

Hengyue School.

Deep within the lush bamboo forest, melodious music echoed continuously. Fingertips lightly brushed the strings, and the lingering longing in one's heart transformed into musical notes, flowing out along with the clear and melodious sound of the zither.

The vibrating strings seemed to express a thousand unspoken words.

Li Muwan sat on a bamboo chair, her eyes reflecting the swaying bamboo leaves, but her thoughts drifted far away.

The music was sometimes gentle and melodious, like a babbling brook, telling of the deep longing in one's heart; at other times it was passionate and surging, like rolling waves, expressing an uncontrollable yearning.

She once played chess and zither with that person in this bamboo forest, chatting and laughing, but now she is left alone, with only desolation on the ground.

As the music played, memories of the past unfolded before my eyes like a scroll painting; the person's voice, smile, and every subtle expression became clearer in my memory.

As the music played, Li Muwan seemed to see that person leaning against the bamboo, a gentle smile on their lips, quietly listening to her performance.

But when Li Muwan reached out in a daze, she only touched empty air. Longing overwhelmed her like a tide, and the music became increasingly mournful, lingering in the bamboo forest for a long time, startling a few birds that were perched there, which fluttered away into the distance.

Li Muwan exhaled a deep breath, gazing at the distant green hills and clear waters, and murmured to herself, "So many years have passed, I wonder how my husband is doing now."

Reggie, the progenitor of the troll race, walked over, bowed to Li Muwan, and said softly, "Mistress, Li Qiqing has become the current Vermilion Bird Prince, and he plans to place Vermilion Bird Mountain in our neighboring cultivation country."

With her slender, jade-like hands gently resting on the strings, Li Muwan slowly turned around, looked at Reggie in front of her, and asked, "Is my brother alright?"

Reggie replied, "Reporting to the mistress, Li Qiqing, relying on the immortal jade left behind by the master, has now broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm. With the addition of the envoy of the Cultivation Alliance, he has successfully secured his position as the fifteenth generation Vermilion Bird Child."

Hearing this, Li Muwan nodded happily. After all, it was a great blessing for her that her brother could become the revered Vermilion Bird.

Li Muwan stretched out her slender hand, tidied the black hair beside her ear, and said softly, "Hongdie also went to train. Xiaoru'er has already reached the Core Formation stage, while I... have not yet touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Don't worry, Madam. Your talent is unparalleled in the world. Throughout history, it is absolutely unimaginable that someone could reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and become a seventh-grade alchemist."

Reggie personally poured Li Muwan a cup of tea and nodded, saying, "If the mistress can break through to the Ascendant Stage, her future achievements in alchemy will be limitless, and she may even be able to obtain the legendary divine items."

Li Muwan smiled faintly but did not answer.

After all, given her current situation, even if she breaks through to the Peak stage, she probably still won't be able to refine pills of grade nine or higher.

That level of elixir is beyond the reach of even first-stage cultivators; only those who break through to the Nirvana Realm have the opportunity to reach that level.

Li Muwan placed her small hand on her lower abdomen and whispered, "I heard that not long ago, a disciple of our Hengyue Sect... named... Wang Lin... has returned?"

"Yes."

Reggie nodded and replied, "Wang Lin is currently at the Nascent Soul stage, and he recently killed the patriarch of my Troll race."

Reggie, the progenitor of the troll race, had little interest in his own race. Therefore, even when Wang Lin killed the troll chieftain, Reggie didn't consider avenging him.

Besides, Wang Lin is a disciple of the Hengyue Sect and the master's junior brother. Even if Reggie had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to kill that brat Wang Lin.

Li Muwan simply nodded. She was also quite curious about Wang Lin. The fact that he had grown to this point showed that he had gone through many hardships.

Looking back hundreds of years, Wang Lin was hunted down by Teng Huayuan, the patriarch of the Teng family, and was eventually forced to enter the battlefield outside the domain. He never expected that he would achieve such success now.

Li Muwan sat upright in the chair, when the Hurricane Beast King flew out, transforming into a size no bigger than a palm, and sat on Li Muwan's shoulder.

“Xiao Ling…” Li Muwan reached out her finger and gently poked the head of the Hurricane Beast King Xiao Ling, and said softly, “When will your master return?”

...............

In a room of the Hengyue Sect, Wang Lin, with his full head of white hair, opened his eyes and looked at Senior Situ Nan, who had successfully possessed his body, and asked with some excitement, "Senior, you succeeded."

Situ Nan stretched his limbs. At this moment, he had successfully possessed the body of the troll clan chief, and his cultivation had also recovered to its original peak level.

Although his primordial spirit had perfectly merged with his physical body at this point, Situ Nan found this body extremely uncomfortable.

"The bodies of trolls are treasured by everyone, especially by those ants from the Corpse Yin Sect, who hope to refine them into corpse puppets."

Situ Nan curled his lip in disdain and cursed, "I, the dignified Vermilion Bird Prince, have actually possessed the corpse of a giant demon. If this gets out, how am I supposed to face those juniors in the future..."

Looking at Situ Nan's disgusted expression, Wang Lin couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "Senior, the most important thing is to restore your cultivation. Although this body is from the Demon Clan, it also contains immense spiritual power. It's not too late to reshape your physical body when you find a suitable opportunity in the future."

Situ Nan also snorted coldly, clenched his fists tightly, and planned to find a few talented female disciples right now to have some fun.

Wang Lin said helplessly, "Senior Situ, you'd better not touch the Hengyue Sect disciples. After all, Senior Brother Lin Che's strength is undeniable. If you dare to make a move..."

Situ Nan narrowed his eyes, naturally wary of Lin Che's strength. After all, Lin Che had even killed the envoy of the Cultivation Alliance, a powerful expert at the Nirvana Realm, which was absolutely unimaginable.

If you offend him, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Situ Nan looked at his body, which resembled a Smurf, and twitched his lips. He planned to separate his body after his strength recovered to its peak and then possess the body that was most suitable for him.

The cultivation world has always been a dog-eat-dog world, and no one will show mercy based on the other party's situation. Moreover, possession is something that a powerful person like Situ Nan can do with ease.

Situ Nan rested his chin on his hand, glanced sideways at Wang Lin beside him, and said with a smile, "Little Lin, you probably haven't been to the outside world yet, have you?"

"Ok?"

Wang Lin raised his head with a puzzled look and stared at Situ Nan.

Situ Nan chuckled smugly: "After I've relaxed, I'll take you to other star regions and broaden your horizons."
