Chapter 617: When the Two Women Meet
Hearing that unmistakably familiar voice, Xiao Ze immediately turned towards the source of the sound. A stunning figure was rapidly flying towards him, her face alight with the joy of reunion, and she threw herself into Xiao Ze's arms.
"Brother Xiao Ze, I've missed you so much." "Ha ha, don't we talk every day?" Xiao Ze patted Xun Er's back, smiling as he spoke to her. "Talking through secret arts isn't the same as meeting in person." Xun Er buried her face in Xiao Ze's chest, greedily breathing in his scent.
After a while, Xun Er pulled away from Xiao Ze, only to meet the teasing gazes of Qing Lin and Zi Yan, her cheeks flushing with color. "Cough, cough, it's hard to control myself after so long." Xun Er coughed lightly, laughing as she spoke to Qing Lin and Zi Yan.
Then, Xun Er's gaze drifted to a more distant figure. There stood another stunningly beautiful figure, a nine colored sword slung at her waist, her face cold but fatally enticing. Medusa, seeing Xun Er's arrival, initially wanted to join Qing Lin and Zi Yan. But remembering her relationship with Xiao Ze had progressed further, she hesitated and didn't move.
Seeing Xun Er's gaze, Medusa also looked back. Xun Er's eyes narrowed slightly, her exceptional intuition telling her something had transpired between Xiao Ze and Medusa. Though both women appeared calm, the surrounding onlookers sensed an air of confrontation. Even Zi Yan, who had been about to speak to Xiao Ze, closed her mouth, watching Medusa and Xun Er nervously.
After a moment, Medusa was the first to look away, her head tilting down slightly. Given the order of arrival, she knew she was not in a position to assert herself over Xun Er. The tension between them seemed to melt away like ice.
Xun Er smiled even brighter, her form flashing as she quickly moved to Medusa's side and took her jade hand, speaking to her.
"Medusa, it's been a long time."
Medusa, feeling the release of tension, also smiled slightly.
"Indeed, it has been a long time."
Xiao Ze, watching this scene, secretly patted his chest; he had indeed been quite nervous. He had thought he might need to intervene, but Xun Er and Medusa had resolved it themselves.
At that moment, as the space continued to crack, the milky white radiance began pouring down like liquid. Under this terrifying milky white glow, the desert below gradually turned into a milky white magma. Occasional bubbles burst from the magma, sending up torrents of scorching heat.
"Just the power radiating out is enough to create such a sea of magma; the power of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame is indeed terrifying."
As everyone's attention was captured by the cracking space, Xun Er quietly moved next to Xiao Ze and whispered.
"Indeed." Xiao Ze nodded nonchalantly, only to feel a jade hand sneak around his waist and sharply pinch him.
"Ouch!" Xiao Ze's expression changed, and he gasped in pain, though his face showed a pained expression.
It didn't hurt, but he had to show some reaction. Seeing this, Xun Er rolled her eyes attractively and whispered in Xiao Ze's ear. "Stop pretending! You big flirt!" After her words, Xun Er did not continue her assault; instead, she gently massaged Xiao Ze's waist.
"Cough, cough, have you figured it out, Xun Er?" "It's just a feeling..." Xun Er spoke with a complicated tone. Although she had anticipated this day, she found she couldn't remain as calm as she had imagined.
"Xun Er..." "There's no need to say more, Brother Xiao Ze. Since I've decided to follow you in this life, I'll never leave your side!" Xun Er smiled brightly at Xiao Ze,
"But apart from them, how many more sisters do you plan to find for me, Brother Xiao Ze?"
"Cough, cough!" Xiao Ze's face showed embarrassment; it felt like he had coughed more today than in his entire life. "I..."
As they were talking, the space shattered with a loud crack, drawing their attention. At that moment, Xiao Ze saw the milky white light from the fractured space expand until it formed a large circle, heating the surrounding area by nearly a hundred times! Those who could still bear it were now sweating profusely and retreating in horror, their faces full of dread.
The power of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, fully unleashed from within the Demonic Flame Space, made the earlier force seem like a mere fraction of its true strength, crushing many people's hopes and driving them back.
Those who had been near the milky white circle without discomfort were now finding it unbearable, questioning how they could possibly enter it. As the milky white circle fully formed, those confident in their power began to move.
A flurry of swift movements filled the air as numerous strong figures, like lightning, rushed towards the circle and vanished inside it. Xun Er, as if remembering something, quickly spoke to Xiao Ze. "I haven't had a chance to introduce him yet.
This is Elder Gu Nanhai from my ancient clan.
" Elder Gu Nanhai, dressed in a blue robe with white hair and a warm smile, seemed very approachable. "
Mr. Xiao Ze, I've heard much about you. Seeing you today, you truly are extraordinary, a perfect match for our miss.
" Elder Gu Nanhai laughed heartily. When he first saw Xiao Ze, he was stunned that he couldn't discern Xiao Ze's strength at all! It seems that after his trip with the ancient clan, Xiao Ze had found another great opportunity for a breakthrough. Without such fortune, advancing at the Dou Saint level was nearly impossible.
"It's an honor to meet Elder Gu Nanhai. You flatter me."
Beside Elder Gu Nanhai was Gu Qingyang, whom Xiao Ze knew well. Dressed in a green robe, he greeted Xiao Ze with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao Ze, long time no see. You still look as impressive as ever."
"Ha ha, Brother Qingyang, it's been a while. You've also made great progress."
After a brief exchange, they prepared to enter the Demonic Flame Space. Xiao Ze recalled the illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame within the space, said to be even more realistic than the illusions of the Bodhi Tree.
This piqued Xiao Ze's interest, eager to experience the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame's illusion.
