OUTSIDE OF TIME

378 Amorous

The woman’s voice was coquettish with a hint of demonic charm. At first glance, it sounded like an oriole leaving the valley and the cry of a phoenix. It was crisp, clear, and mellow.

It was filled with temptation.

Xu Qing’s entire body trembled and his scalp went numb. He couldn’t move at all.

He could only let the woman lift his chin. At the same time, he saw the rays of light flowing in the other party’s teasing eyes.

He was a little stunned and extremely tense. The surroundings were filled with a strange fragrance.

It was the fragrance of the woman in front of him.

This fragrance caused Xu Qing’s heartbeat to race unprecedentedly.

This experience was unprecedented in his life.

It was a life-and-death crisis and also a feeling that he couldn’t express clearly. It was as though he had become a delicious snack that was being tasted by someone.

He felt this even more because of the other party’s cultivation base and the way she was looking at him like a hunter looking at their prey.

The captain took a deep breath.

‘Huang Yikun, you bastard. Isn’t it just a Mystic Nether Finger? You actually f*cking called your ancestor!!’ The captain’s breathing was hurried. However, on second thought, this wasn’t right. Even if Huang Yikun was a heaven’s chosen, it was impossible for him to make his ancestor personally come and make things difficult for the two of them unless he was like Saintly Star and was the grandson of the ancestor.

However, according to what he knew, this was clearly not the case.

He quickly calmed down and carefully sized up the peerless woman. He noticed the other party’s posture and recalled the other party’s words just now. His eyes suddenly widened as a bold guess surfaced in his mind, turning into a clap of thunder that rumbled and exploded.

‘What the f*ck, what the f*ck, what the f*ck!’ The captain quickly closed his eyes and pretended not to see it. However, waves of emotions surged in his mind.

‘Little Qing’s face… is too fatal!”

At the same time, two figures were rushing over towards the base of the mountain. One of them was Huang Yikun, and the other person looked a little similar to Huang Yikun but older.

The two of them were rapidly approaching this place.

“Brother, you must help me get justice today. They broke all five fingers. They’re extremely cruel and infuriating!!” Huang Yikun gritted his teeth as he sped.

“Don’t worry. As your big brother… Hmm?”

Beside Huang Yikun was his big brother, Huang Lingfei. He was a Golden Core. As they neared the base, he was halfway through his sentence when his eyes suddenly widened.

His footsteps instantly stopped as he looked at the scene in the distance in disbelief.

What he saw was his ancestor lifting Xu Qing’s chin as though she was flirting with him.

Moreover, the eldest highness of the Seventh Peak had closed his eyes and didn’t dare to look at the ancestor and Xu Qing. However, the shock on his face was what Huang Lingfei was feeling right now.

Huang Lingfei gasped. Huang Yikun, who was beside him, clearly reacted a little slower and was still shouting.

“And that Xu Qing, Brother, help me go…”

Their arrival attracted the captain’s attention. He opened his eyes and looked over. At the same time, the exceedingly beautiful woman swept her gaze across Xu Qing. She lowered her hand and turned to look at Huang Lingfei and Huang Yikun.

Huang Lingfei’s mind rumbled. He suddenly turned around and slapped his younger brother’s head, knocking Huang Yikun unconscious.

“Help you my ass!” Huang Lingfei roared inwardly. He thought to himself that there was something wrong with his brother’s brain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been arranged to go to the Seven Blood Eyes previously.

One had to know that none of the others went.

He was the only one who foolishly went.

It was fine if he went and it was fine if he lost his fingers. Now, he almost killed him as well.

Huang Lingfei’s mind shook. He couldn’t forget the scene he had seen just now. He kept cursing Huang Yikun in his mind, thinking to himself, ‘Of all people, why did you provoke the person the ancestor likes?’

“Why are the two of you here?” The gorgeous woman turned and looked at Huang Lingfei.

Huang Lingfei shuddered and didn’t hesitate at all. He grabbed Huang Yikun, who had fainted from his slap, and quickly approached. He threw his brother to the ground and knelt down, speaking loudly.

“Ancestor, disciple had an appointment with Xu… Fellow Daoist! It’s because my younger brother is insensible and offended Fellow Daoist Xu. I brought him here today to apologize.”

Huang Lingfei was extremely nervous. He paused for a moment earlier because he didn’t know if he should call Xu Qing Junior Brother or Senior Brother. No matter what he said, it didn’t look good. What if the ancestor misunderstood? However, his reaction was also very fast and he quickly thought of the address ‘Fellow Daoist’.

After saying that, he looked at Xu Qing with a sincere expression.

“Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, my brother is a fool.”

At the side, Huang Yikun was regaining his senses because of the fall and revealed a confused expression. He could faintly hear his brother’s voice in the surroundings. However, before he could completely wake up, Huang Lingfei instantly slapped him and he fainted again.

“Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, please don’t be offended.” Huang Lingfei’s forehead was covered in sweat. After saying that, his heart raced and he didn’t dare to get up.

The gorgeous woman standing in front of Xu Qing smiled. She didn’t say anything and took a step forward, walking into the sky.

At that moment, the moonlight scattered down, complementing her enchanting figure like a blooming violet. When it landed on her snow-white skin, it was as though it had transformed into a heavenly veil.

This caused this mature and beautiful woman to emit peerless magnificence. She paused in the air and turned her head slightly to look at the ground as she chuckled.

“Little friend, you’re welcome to come to the Mystic Nether Sect anytime.”

She was in the sky, with the moon behind her. Under the illumination of the bright light, it was as though violet and orchids were blooming. Her slender waist and jade ribbons moved in the sky. The scene was like a fairy had come from the nine heavens and looked back with a smile that surpassed the brilliance of the stars.

The laughter was still echoing but she had already left.

As the Mystic Nether Sect’s ancestor left, Xu Qing’s body instantly regained mobility. He suddenly retreated and panted roughly. He had heard the other party’s words and knew the identity of this person who made him feel horror. At this moment, his mind was in turmoil and he couldn’t calm down.

The captain at the side was the same.

Huang Lingfei was the same.

The three of them fell silent. Huang Yikun, who had fainted, naturally didn’t make any sound.

After a long time, the captain coughed.

“Um… are we still trading?”

Huang Lingfei took a deep breath. At this moment, he had recovered a little from the shock earlier. He quickly shook his head and cupped his fists toward Xu Qing and the captain. He then grabbed his younger brother and hurriedly left this place.

He was extremely worried as he wondered if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen, if he had disturbed the ancestor’s good time… At the thought of this, he became even more uneasy.

Xu Qing still had lingering fear. The captain hurriedly called him to leave. It was only when he returned to the main city of the Seven Blood Eyes that the captain let out a long breath of relief.

“How could we encounter the Mystic Nether Sect’s ancestor, Purple Mystic Fairy!”

Xu Qing didn’t say anything. For some reason, the scene earlier kept appearing in his mind, especially the eyes of Purple Mystic Fairy. This caused Xu Qing’s breathing to instinctively become hurried. This was the first time in his life that he felt such an emotion.

“Little Qing, thank you for what happened today!” The captain let out a long sigh.

“Purple Mystic Fairy, I know about her. It is said that when this Purple Mystic Fairy was young, her name shook the entire Yinghuang Province and she had countless admirers. Although she has never had any Dao companions, there are countless rumors about her.”

“She must have sensed the two of us just now and took a fancy to me. After that, she lifted your chin to attract my attention. Little Qing, you’ve suffered.” The captain patted Xu Qing’s shoulder without blushing.

“Eldest Senior Brother, eat more pomelos1 in the future!” Xu Qing glanced at the captain.

“Why?” The captain was stunned.

Xu Qing didn’t explain. He walked to his berth at the harbor and leaped onto the magic ship.

The captain coughed. Seeing that Xu Qing had left, he couldn’t suppress the shock in his heart anymore and it surfaced again. However, he quickly thought about Xu Qing’s words before he left.

“Why eat more pomelos?”

At the same time, on the magic ship, Xu Qing walked into the cabin. He scattered more poison in the surroundings and activated a few more layers of defense. Only then did he let out a long breath. After he sat down, he began to analyze what had happened today.

This matter was too strange. Xu Qing had never encountered or thought of it before. However, his first feeling was that there must be a reason for this abnormality.

“There must be a reason for the words and actions of an ancestor who has cultivated to that level. Did this Purple Mystic Fairy see something wrong with me? She should be from the same era as Master. Or is it because I’m Master’s disciple?”

Xu Qing silently pondered for a long time, but he still couldn’t find the reason. Hence, he took out a voice transmission jade slip and transmitted his voice to his master, telling him everything. He also secretly asked about his master’s relationship with Purple Mystic Fairy.

On the other end of the jade slip, Old Master Seventh fell silent.

A long time later, Old Master Seventh’s voice calmly rang out.

“Back then, that Purple Mystic Fairy pursued me fanatically, but was ruthlessly rejected by me more than 300 times. It’s understandable that she thought of me when she saw you. Don’t spread this matter. It’s all in the past.”

“I still have something on. Let’s not talk about it for now.”

Xu Qing was puzzled.

He felt that his master’s reply was a little… similar to what the captain had said previously.

At that moment, in the hall at the top of the Mystic Nether Sect’s mountain. Purple Mystic Fairy was sitting on a futon, and lazily stretched her beautiful and slender waist. She took the cloud snow lotus-seed soup brewed with a hundred flowers morning dew that the old female servant brought over and took a sip. She suddenly frowned and turned her to the side.

The old woman stood there motionlessly, as though her body was fixed. Even her expression was still. A figure walked over from the void behind her.

This figure wore a green robe and his long hair draped over his shoulders. He looked like an elegant middle-aged man.

There were stars circulating in his eyes. Upon closer inspection, there were layers behind the stars that extended into the depths of his eyes. There were at least ten thousand layers.

This caused his eyes to possess astonishing power. When one looked at them, they would involuntarily sink into them.

It was the Alliance Leader of the Eight Sects Alliance.

“Junior Sister, you don’t have much time left. Have you thought about your answer to me?” The Alliance Leader calmly spoke.

“You come to ask every month, but I refuse you every time. Can you cut it out?” Purple Mystic Fairy frowned and said coldly.

“Why do you refuse? Are you still looking for someone with light in their heart? In this chaotic world, such a person doesn’t exist. Even if such a person does exist, after coming into contact with the cruel and evil world a few times, they will be changed by this world until the light dims and won’t meet your requirements.”

“You only need to agree to let me plant my divine sense and you can borrow my strength to make up for the last Dao thread you lack. It will allow your Shattering Thousand Dao to reach perfection and you will have hope of breaking through to the second stage.”

“If you want to find a vessel, go find someone else. Outsiders don’t know your personality but I know it very well.” Purple Mystic Fairy calmly spoke, not giving in at all.

The Alliance Leader took a deep look at the peerless beauty in front of him and smiled.

“Junior Sister, you don’t have much lifespan left. I’ll ask you again next month.” With that, the Alliance Leader transformed into starlight which then dissipated into thin air.

The old woman at the side returned to normal. She had no idea about what had happened earlier.

Only Purple Mystic Fairy put down the lotus seed soup and frowned.
