OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 1347 The Young General in the Blue Robe Mounts the Horse for the First Time

With that coquettish voice, combined with the fog surrounding them, it suddenly created a sense of charm, spreading along with the fog.

Xu Qing’s heartbeat couldn’t help but quicken, feeling an unprecedented nervousness, even his mouth felt dry and parched, instinctively looking towards Zi Xuan.

Within the fog, Zi Xuan’s face was as lovely as peach blossoms, her eyes containing a spiritual charm. They were bright and deep.

In those eyes, it seemed as if myriad worlds were hidden, with the shyness and innocence of a young girl as well as the depth and wisdom of a mature woman.

At this moment, her eyes blinked gently, like the brightest stars twinkling in the night sky, making it impossible for one to look away.

Even though it was hazy, one could still discern her fair complexion with a hint of rosy hue, exuding a charming and enticing allure, which was accentuated by the mist, adding an extra layer of temptation.

As the fog grew denser, a scene that caused thunder to explode in Xu Qing’s mind appeared.

Zixuan walked into the pool.

Beside the pool was a long purple dress…

That body that was as exquisite as snow jade and revealed a natural rosy color was faintly discernible. It was perfect and soul-stirring.

When she was about to be completely enveloped by the fog, she turned her head slightly and smiled.

She looked back and smiled charmingly.

This face was so charming that it was enough to captivate anyone.

Her voice rang out at this moment.

“Xu Qing, do you want to join me…”

This sentence only had a few words, but Zi Xuan spoke shakily.

At the next instant, the fog completely enveloped her figure. In fact, as it rose, it also enveloped Xu Qing’s figure.

The night passed.

That night, the water in the pool fluctuated and fog churned. No one knew what was happening inside.

Outside the mansion, there was a blue worm in the air. It tried everything it could to enter, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.

Hence, it continued to wait unwillingly.

This wait… lasted for seven days.

Ever since Zi Xuan entered Xu Qing’s high spiritual mansion, she hadn’t come out in these seven days.

On the morning of the eighth day, the gate of the mansion slowly opened. Zi Xuan, who was wearing a long dress, walked out.

Her figure was like a blooming flower.

Under the sunlight, her exposed skin resembled delicate porcelain, fair and smooth. It seemed as if beneath her skin flowed the water of a clear spring, giving off an unparalleled sense of freshness and comfort.

And her oval face was flawless, with a refined jawline that was both elegant and smooth, resembling a figure from a painting, evoking a sense of longing.

Her long, shiny hair, which had cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders seven days ago, was now gathered up, held in place by a golden phoenix hairpin.

This revealed her slender neck and graceful collarbone, captivating all who beheld her.

As the morning breeze gently blew by, the jade beads on the hairpin swayed with the wind.

It was the scene of a fairy descending to the mortal world.

And her already stunning face, now adorned with the remnants of rosy hues, carried a lingering charm, with a hint of coquettishness still lingering in her eyes.

All of this added to her beauty.

The moment she walked out of the gate, she turned her head slightly and her beautiful eyes landed on Xu Qing. She then gently said in a heavenly voice.

“Then we agree?”

“Yes…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and nodded.

Zixuan’s smile became even more beautiful. She turned and left. However, after taking a few steps, she seemed to be feeling a little unwell. However, very soon, the redness on her cheeks rose again…

After watching Zi Xuan’s figure leave, Xu Qing’s expression was a little dazed.

However, before he could recall the scenes in the past seven days, Erniu’s figure whistled over from nearby. Moreover, he wasn’t alone. Wu Jianwu was beside him.

“Sigh, Little Qing, what a coincidence.”

Erniu looked like he had just arrived and waved at Xu Qing.

“Fortunately, you reminded me earlier. Let me tell you, Little Qing, when I went to the Creator’s Manor, I kept an eye on them for seven days and seven nights. They indeed didn’t have a chance to cut corners.”

Erniu walked over proudly. Beside him, Wu Jianwu wanted to say something but hesitated. However, in the end, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he still chose to shut up.

Xu Qing turned his head. The dazed look in his eyes had already dissipated as he calmly looked at his eldest senior brother.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what a coincidence indeed.”

Erniu blinked and his gaze rapidly sized up Xu Qing’s body, looking incomparably curious. He even walked a few rounds around Xu Qing, his eyes shining as he smacked his lips.

Under this gaze, Xu Qing’s calm expression faltered and some blush colored his complexion…

“Little Qing, there’s something wrong with you. Something seems different.”

The captain gave a spurious smile.

“I think I saw someone leaving your mansion earlier… Hehe.”

Xu Qing coughed and was about to speak when Wu Jianwu, who was at the side, suddenly spoke.

“The young general in the blue robe mounts the horse for the first time, how many battles can he last? Though it seems he’s exhausted after seven days, who knows how many breaks he took in between!”

As soon as Wu Jianwu finished speaking, a violent wind rushed toward him, sending him over five hundred kilometers away.

Xu Qing snorted coldly.

Er Niu coughed lightly, noticing Xu Qing’s embarrassment, so he quickly intervened.

“That’s too much. This Wu Jianwu deserves a beating!”

“Wu Jianwu, remember to come back quickly.” After shouting at the horizon, Erniu glanced at Xu Qing’s mansion.

Although Xu Qing felt a little helpless about his eldest senior brother, he was already experienced in dealing with him. At that moment, his expression calmed down again and he asked.

“Is Master here?”

At the mention of their master, Erniu’s thoughts were also diverted. He gritted his teeth angrily and spoke.

“Don’t mention it. The old man has left!!”

“As expected, you’re right. A few days ago, I used my unique method to sense his tracks. However, when I went over, this old brat was long gone.”

“This is clearly trying to monopolize everything!”

“How can you be someone’s master like this? He’s too much. He will have to give us an explanation. I’ve already thought it through. We’ll make a trip back in a while. I’ll use my dignity as the eldest disciple to gather Old Second and Old Third. The four of us will look for Master together!”

“If he doesn’t distribute the spoils, we’ll leave the sect and let the old man be alone in the future.”

Erniu’s words were astonishing. His expression was arrogant, as though he planned to do this.

Xu Qing blinked and spoke softly.

“This isn’t good…”

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!” Erniu snorted.

“I’ve already planned this matter. When the time comes, we’ll move together!”

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the mansion. After they sat down in the front hall, Erniu was clearly still brooding over Old Master Seventh’s matter. It was only after a long time when Wu Jianwu returned with a swollen face that he placed his attention on him.

Wu Jianwu immediately became obedient.

Firstly, he was afraid of Xu Qing, and secondly, he was afraid of Erniu. Earlier, he really couldn’t hold return his cheap mouth and ended up being lectured by Xu Qing. Right now, regardless of how he cursed inwardly, he was extremely obedient on the surface.

He was sitting in front of the two of them with his mouth tightly shut, looking at them eagerly.

“Little Jianjian, I hope you will complete the matter I talked about with you the other day. Don’t worry, I, Chen Erniu, always do things fairly, I won’t let you work in vain.”

“How about this? After they hatch, the eggshells are yours!”

The captain’s tone was solemn as he slowly spoke.

As he spoke, he took out his egg and placed it in front of Wu Jianwu.

Xu Qing expressionlessly took out one.

Looking at these two eggs, although Wu Jianwu was 100% confident, he still felt a little embarrassed about such a thing. Previously, although he had no choice but to agree in front of Erniu, he was still a little hesitant now that he saw the eggs with his own eyes.

Seeing this, Erniu patted Wu Jianwu’s shoulder.

“Let me tell you, these two eggs aren’t simple. They are the children of a god. How can Their eggshells be ordinary eggshells? That’s a divine shell!”

“Moreover, the most important thing is that you will gain the experience of incubating gods. This will undoubtedly be an unprecedented experience for you to hatch more pets in the future.”

“You need to have ambition. Your hybrid pets at most have the bloodline of a Ruler . Just imagine, if one day, instead of Ruler bloodlines, a group of divine spiritual pets raised by you appeared with just a wave of your hand, how impressive would that be!”

“At that time, if you need the relics of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, who dares not to give them to you?”

It was unknown which sentence it was that made Wu Jianwu make up his mind. Determination appeared in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and agreed to this matter. After Xu Qing nodded, Wu Jianwu took the eggs and quickly left the residence.

When he was far away, Wu Jianwu’s eyes revealed determination as he mumbled.

“Divine pets…”

His breathing was hurried and determination rose once again.

At this moment, if his master return then was here, he would undoubtedly have mixed feelings, unable to say if it was good or bad.

Truly… Back then in the Seven Blood Eyes, the heaven’s chosen of the First Peak was clearly a sword cultivator, but because of an item he accidentally obtained, his Dao path changed.

And it changed completely and thoroughly.

In the high spiritual mansion, post Wu Jianwu left, Erniu slapped his forehead. A tender green vine grew out of his head and surrounded him. It was very spiritual.

“Little Qing, this thing is a treasure. You can also fuse with yours. As long as we raise it and it matures, hehe… we’ll be even more powerful.”

Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the vine and he sensed the mystical power contained in it. Hence, he nodded and the vine appeared in his hand.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Qing ultimately didn’t swallow it. Instead, he slit his finger and as a drop of blood landed which the vine rapidly absorbed. After that, with a flash, it entered through the wound.

A soul fluctuation resonated at this moment.

At the next instant, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor became vigilant. Xu Qing’s shadow also fluctuated slightly…

“There’s also the puppet parts I took away in the catacombs. Although these things have shattered, they still contain energy that can’t be underestimated.”

The captain licked his lips.

“I’m thinking that they should be something good. Let’s see if we can piece them together. If we can make a large mantis… it will undoubtedly be a powerful card.”

As the captain spoke, he waved his hand and a large pile of components flew out. He called Xu Qing over and the two of them studied them attentively.

At the same time, while they were studying these puppet parts, a group of figures stood in front of the teleportation array in the Imperial City’s outer ring.

All the human cultivators in the surroundings had solemn expressions. The Heavenly Marquis Wang guarding here was even more solemn and vigilant.

This group of cultivators had been fighting against the human race not long ago.

They were the subsidiary races of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Baize and Si’e!

These two groups of cultivators, with bodies different from those of humans, stood out conspicuously, each wearing an unpleasant expression. Clearly, there was lingering resentment in their hearts regarding the end of the war.

However, they had no choice but to come. Their mission this time was to sign a post-war agreement with the human race.

The person accompanying them was a cultivator from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven who had an even uglier expression than them.

It was Fan Shishuang!

His expression was gloomy and he was very frustrated. However, he was helpless. This time, he was appointed as the Flame Moon Supervisor and followed these two subsidiary races to the human race to witness the truce contract.

“I heard that Xu Qing returned to the human race. Why am I so unlucky to be assigned this job!”
