“Miss, are you all right?” Qin Yuan asked while looking into her eyes.
Over time, the killing intent in her eyes only grew more and more, not diminishing at all.
“I’m fine!” She answered but in a very cold tone.
Qin Yuan knitted his brows again while his eyes continued to stare at the Red Sword tattoo.
‘Is this some kind of manifestation of past hatred and pain that eventually became her latent power?’
“Miss, try attacking me, let’s see how strong you are now,” Qin Yuan said after some thought.
Whoosh!
Jian Yixue immediately moved without giving any warning. She then slashed the two swords in her hands towards Qin Yuan.
As she slashed her Innate Sword, she slashed its black side at Qin Yuan but ended up flipping it over to its golden side.
Qin Yuan smiled faintly, thinking that she still knew who was enemy and who was friend.
But this also confirms one thing; her mind was not completely under her control.
In response, he used each of his wrists to parry each of the swords.
Clang!
They collide.
The golden side of the Innate Sword emitted a golden light that enveloped Qin Yuan’s hand. It seemed to be trying to find the evil things in his hand.
In reality, there are always evil things in everyone and when they are purified by holy power, there are always side effects that can even kill..
Unfortunately, it was not strong enough to purify Qin Yuan’s evil things.
Qin Yuan’s attention then turned to the Red Sword.
Even though it was only a spiritual manifestation, its light and aura were truly extremely piercing.
They radiated extreme killing intent, striking straight at the heart and soul.
Even Qin Yuan faintly felt some kind of illusion trying to affect his mind.
‘This increases Jian Yixue’s strength but on the other hand weakens the enemy’s strength…
‘What if Jian Yixue fought a First Stage Saint Ancestor?
‘Her strength may still not be on par with a Saint Ancestor, but she can weaken him to her equal.’
Qin Yuan then looked at her forehead again.
‘Perhaps in the future she can use it without having to rely on Invincibility Mode. At that time, I’m afraid she will become completely invincible.’
Shua…
He pushed his hand forward, sending Yixue flying backwards.
But after landing, she lunged at Qin Yuan once again.
“Enough!” Qin Yuan said as he waved his hand, causing her steps to stop instantly.
Her aura immediately dropped drastically to the point that it was as if she was only a mortal.
After that, her knees suddenly fell.
“It seems that using it for a while also has the same effect,” Qin Yuan said with a sigh.
“Indeed, there is always a price for gaining power that exceeds your own.”
Qin Yuan appeared by Jian Yixue’s side, grabbing her waist directly, something that shocked her, but there was nothing she could do as she almost lost control of her body.
Even when she wanted to grip his clothes with her fingers, she failed to do so.
Even so, she was still able to move her mouth a little.
“G-give me an Energy Pill,” she said in a trembling voice.
“No need, it’s time for you to rest,” Qin Yuan replied, tapping her stomach with his fingers before laying her body down.
Right after that, her eyes started to close. Her eyelashes moved a few times and finally her breath became soft.
“Poor girl,” said Qin Yuan as he shook his head as he watched her fast asleep.
The days passed quietly.
Jian Yixue had apparently slept for quite a while, almost two weeks had passed and she still hadn’t woken up.
Today, the Divine Continent was made tense when suddenly boundless darkness appeared in the sky.
The ruthless and gloomy aura of the darkness frightened many people including the Ancestors.
They didn’t even dare to chat openly, only daring to whisper to the person beside them.
“The Goddess of Darkness, why is she here? Does she want to watch the Twin Goddess of the Night?” They wonder.
“Maybe because they also use the power of darkness, maybe they have a certain relationship with her.”
“Oouhhhh, I hope she doesn’t do bad things here.”
Qin Yuan who was watching from afar couldn’t help but knit his brows. He was also confused as to why she had come and he had no memory of his disciple and daughter having a certain relationship with this Goddess.
No one could see her figure because of the darkness except for Qin Yuan.
She was still in the same style, sitting leisurely on the throne with an attitude as if all beings were worshiping her.
Her gaze quickly fell on Qin Yuan.
For a moment, her brows moved as she looked at Qin Yuan’s face.
She straightened her posture while her face seemed to move forward slightly as if she wanted to take a closer look at Qin Yuan.
After a while, she stood up before stepping towards him.
Shu!
She immediately appeared in front of him.
The darkness in the sky disappeared right after that.
Without the darkness around her, her figure seemed much clearer.
She was the same height as Su Mei and her long legs looked very sexy with the red lines.
The pungent scent of jasmine emanated from her body, telling people she was dangerous.
In Qin Yuan’s hometown on earth, people often associate this scent with female ghosts. And he thinks she fits in well with it.
“Eternal Star, once again you look very different from before,” she said, looking at him from head to toe with her red eyes.
Hearing her words, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking now after seeing his face.
“Goddess of Darkness, did something bring you here?” he asked softly.
He thought now would be a good time to ask for her help, so he maintained some politeness as he spoke.
With this situation, even if the Seven-Path Great Emperor saw them in person, he most likely only thought they met by chance and had no particular intention. It would be different if he personally visited her to her place.
The Goddess of Darkness didn’t answer right away, her gaze was drawn to Jian Yixue who was lying by Qin Yuan’s side.
“Hoho, such a dense gloomy aura, she must be a perfect match for my dark power,” she said.
“Is she your disciple, Eternal Star?”
“No, we don’t have that relationship, but she is my sect’s Supreme Disciple,” Qin Yuan replied.
“Why don’t you make her your disciple? I heard you just accepted a new disclipe.” The Goddess of Darkness showed a strange expression.
Qin Yuan shrugged his shoulders in response. “It doesn’t have to be does it?
“But I’m surprised you know I accepted a new disclipe, did you pay attention to the news about me?”
“Yeah, I’m really curious about you, so I follow every news about you,” she replied casually while the corners of her lips lifted slightly. Her red eyes even emitted light for a moment.
It was enough to make Qin Yuan stunned.
He thought that even a widow like the Sky Butterfly Queen would not say that openly before they had a clear relationship.
Now he felt even more certain that this woman had a hidden desire for him.
(Every Goddess has pride, there’s no way they’d fall in love just by seeing a man so handsome unless something went wrong with their minds.)
Given the personality of the Goddess of Darkness, it wouldn’t be surprising if she fell into that rare category.
“Goddess, you still haven’t said your goal?” Qin Yuan returned to the original topic.
The Goddess of Darkness replied, “would you believe me if I said that I just wanted to watch?”
“That’s hard to believe, after all, you have 10 Divinities, your experience is enough to consider 8 or 9 Divinities unattractive,” Qin Yuan replied.
“Yeah, but sometimes we still need to see young people struggle,” the Goddess of Darkness replied, glancing up at the sky before looking at him again.
‘Or did she just want to visit me?’ Qin Yuan couldn’t help but think like that after hearing her answer.
Of course, he didn’t really believe her words. He still thought she had a certain goal.
At this moment, Jian Yixue’s eyelashes moved. Little by little, her eyes began to open.
She immediately sat up and held her head as if she felt pain.
After a few blinks, she looked at Qin Yuan and the Goddess of Darkness who was not far from Qin Yuan.
Her confusion because she had just woken up instantly disappeared when she saw the figure of the Goddess of Darkness.
The latter, on the other hand, stared at her with a curved mouth. She said, “What’s wrong little girl? Are you scared?”
As she spoke, a black-robed skeleton figure surrounded by darkness appeared at her side, staring at Jian Yixue with an ugly grin and bulging eyes, trying to scare her.
