Nanyang.
A roar emerged from the desolate and rustic temple.
“Who dares murder my Divine Child!”
As the voice faded, the two Divine Officers closest to the source let out screams of agony and dissipated into pools of blood.
“Please calm your anger, exalted deity, please calm your anger!”
The multitude of Divine Officers prostrated themselves, trembling as they spoke.
After a long while, the deity, who presided over the witchcraft of Nanyang, let out a cold snort.
“I have sensed the aura of heaven and earth slowly changing. It won’t be long before I can return to this world. When that time comes, I shall turn the one who killed my Divine Child, Long Guanyu, into a malevolent spirit, to be damned for eternity without salvation!”
Meanwhile, in a very secluded corner of Xiangjiang.
Lu Xia lay pale-faced on the bed, with Ah Fei anxiously standing guard beside him.
A long time passed before Lu Xia slowly opened his eyes.
“Gu master!” Ah Fei hurried over.
“How long have I been unconscious?” Lu Xia asked softly.
“Not long, about three hours!”
Lu Xia nodded. He had been gravely injured by a strike from Xue An which annihilated his life-bound Gu insect and had collapsed into unconsciousness on the way back.
“You have my thanks, Ah Fei!”
“What are you saying, Gu master? Serving you is the sacred duty of our Miao Immortal Clan!” Ah Fei declared.
Suddenly.
Lu Xia pressed a Gu egg onto Ah Fei’s forehead.
Crack.
The egg split open.
Ah Fei shivered as he felt a powerful presence enter his mind.
“Gu master!” Ah Fei cried out in alarm.
Lu Xia smiled faintly, paler than ever, “I never imagined that coming to Xiangjiang would be fruitless, and instead, I would end up seriously injured. This egg of the Gu king is useless to me now, so take one!”
Ah Fei’s eyes filled with tears, “Gu master….”
He understood the value of the Gu king’s egg.
Lu Xia waved it off, “Your Gu heart might be almost worn away by the mundane world, but you still have the heart of an innocent. This egg of the Gu king is your reward. You should come back to Miao Immortal Valley with me this time!”
“Yes!” Ah Fei bowed his head, no longer harboring any longing for the mortal world.
After all, if the Gu master himself bestowed such a precious Gu king’s egg upon him, he must not disappoint.
Full of excitement, Gong Xiaoqing arrived at the hotel where Xue An was staying.
The matter with Si Jin was resolved.
Gong Xiaoqing’s company, in collaboration with several other entertainment companies, had issued a joint ostracism directive.
At the same time, Gong Xiaoqing had taken Si Jin to court.
Si Jin was utterly ruined.
After taking care of all this, Gong Xiaoqing hurried over, wanting to thank Xue An in person.
If not for Mr. Xue, she probably would have died a long time ago.
As she walked through the door, she saw Xue An, with his family in tow, carrying bags and heading out, followed by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and beautiful Western woman.
“Mr. Xue, are you…?” Gong Xiaoqing was puzzled.
Xue An smiled, “I’ve finished dealing with matters in Xiangjiang and am planning to take my family on a trip around Europe!”
Gong Xiaoqing stood stunned, her previously vibrant mood suddenly dimmed.
“You’re leaving already, Mr. Xue? Then I wish you a safe journey,” Gong Xiaoqing said with a forced smile.
Xue An nodded and led his family out to the car, heading straight to the airport.
Gong Xiaoqing lingered for a while, then left, disheartened.
She had hoped to get to know Xue An better through this opportunity, well aware that Xue An was no ordinary individual.
But now that he was leaving, she had to abandon the idea.
The family boarded the plane for Y country.
Since they left in a hurry, they hadn’t been able to get first-class tickets.
They had no choice but to sit in the business class.
Compared to the personalized service and solitary seating of first class, the business class seating environment was a significant downgrade.
However, the two little girls didn’t feel anything was amiss; they sat by the window and began a battle of imaginations against the clouds outside.
“That one looks like an upside-down ice cream,” said Xue Nian.
“Look, this one looks like bread that’s been stepped on!” Xue Xiang’s thoughts were clearly quite original.
“Hey, this one’s a kebab.”
“I think it looks like candied haw!”
“Is there such a big candied haw?”
“Is there such a big kebab?”
The two little girls began their usual bickering and squabbling.
This had become part of their daily routine.
Xue An and An Yan had gotten used to it.
However, the rest of the cabin revealed smiles at the scene.
Having two quirky and playful children can make a journey much less lonely.
But some people’s thoughts were not on the children.
Ding Guang couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at Quintina sitting beside him.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl fit Ding Guang’s ideal type in both figure and appearance.
He finally couldn’t resist starting a conversation, “Hello! Are you from Y country?”
Quintina looked up at Ding Guang and nodded.
“How did you guess?”
Ding Guang was overjoyed inside, knowing that asking this question meant the conversation was half success.
He immediately said, “Hehe, I could tell from your clothes and demeanor. My name is Ding Guang, may I get to know you?”
Ding Guang extended his hand as he spoke.
Quintina didn’t respond but looked at Xue An in the front row and then shook her head, “I’m sorry, making friends requires the permission of my master.”
Master?
This title made Ding Guang freeze.
The men and women sitting with Ding Guang also let out a burst of exclamations.
“People are still playing master-servant games these days?”
Ding Guang glared at Xue An for a while, noticing Xue An’s handsome looks and noble aura, and couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable.
However, Ding Ran, Ding Guang’s sister, frowned. As a staunch feminist, she detested the objectification of women above all.
She found games that turned girls into maids utterly abhorrent.
So she spoke to Xue An with a sense of justice, “Mister, I’d like to have a word with you!”
Xue An turned his head to look at Ding Guang and Ding Ran, “What’s the matter?”
Ding Ran was slightly unnerved by Xue An’s indifferent gaze, but she spoke seriously, “I don’t know what methods you have used to persuade this lady, but I hope you won’t play these boring games anymore.”
With that, a hint of scorn crossed Ding Ran’s lips.
“Only a man without any abilities would demean a girl to satisfy his twisted desires.”
In just a few sentences, Xue An was already labeled a pervert.
Xue An was taken aback for a moment, then understood the situation.
Looking at the group of young people, barely twenty years old and with their faces full of innocence, Xue An smiled faintly, “Speculating without investigating the truth, do you think you have the quality to preach to others?”
“You…” Ding Ran’s eyes widened in indignation.
In school, she was the president of the student council and a debating champion. To think someone dared question her quality!
“Moreover, you’ve misunderstood something; I didn’t ask her to call me that, it’s purely voluntary on her part, understand?” said Xue An calmly.
Ding Ran turned her gaze towards Quintina.
“Miss, don’t be afraid, we are true human rights activists, and if he’s oppressing you, we can protect you!” Ding Ran said.
“That’s right! Miss, just tell the truth, and I will definitely protect you!”
Ding Guang was bursting with a sense of justice.
Quintina looked at this group of young men and women as if they were fools.
