The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 947 - 520: Reunion with an Old Acquaintance (2)

Thanks to the True One Technique, thanks to the Insight Heart thod, and thanks to Changtian’s constant guidance, her nerves were as tough as steel wires. After the initial shock, she surprisingly cald down quickly. She twitched her mouth: "May I ask, who on earth are you?" Was she now facing a prehistoric demon? In other words, even if she combined forces with Tu Jin, Qi Zai, Langya, and He Sect Leader, it would still be useless, right?

Mr. Yan flashed that gentle, graceful smile again, then said, "I’m hungry."

"..." Outside the house, a cold wind blew, swirling up fallen leaves, and she felt herself turning to stone instantly.

Mr. Yan’s expression was serious, as if he wasn’t joking.

Her shoulders slumped. The other party didn’t seem like soone who would act without reason. Considering the poor food in Hidden Stream, she went into the woods to catch two bamboo chickens and picked so snails from the river, quickly preparing a al.

After half an hour, two lemon roast chickens, a plate of snails stir-fried with green onion and ginger, and the wine-marinated Flying Shuttle Crab she had originally prepared, along with half a pot of herb-baked white-shelled snails, were ceremoniously served. Mr. Yan took a bite, then praised, "Miss Ning’s cooking skills have improved significantly since the ti of the rchant team; it seems that the enhancent in your cultivation realm has helped your culinary skills." He then began to eat rapidly, though with elegance. Ning Xiaoxian only poured him wine two or three tis before the dishes on the table were cleaned out.

She put down the wine pot, forcing a smile, "Stop being mysterious, just say what you want to say." This person didn’t seem to have ill intentions, but his hesitant deanor was quite annoying.

Mr. Yan said slowly, "It’s not that I’m being mysterious, it’s just that my clan likes to roam the world, observing worldly affairs, but we cannot speak to people carelessly unless we have received their favor. If not for the al you’ve given , I wouldn’t be able to speak to you now."

She was enlightened, "No wonder when we were in the rchant team, you blocked the Bear Demon’s attack for Zhang Sheng. When others were hurt later, you ignored it completely."

She spoke so plainly that Mr. Yan’s face even flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly, "He did a favor early in his life, so I should repay him. But after that defense, the obligation was clear, and I had no further involvent."

Ning Xiaoxian cast him a sidelong glance, "What kind of demon are you exactly?"

Mr. Yan smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"...So you can’t say either?"

"The identity of my clan can only be discerned by others on their own; we cannot actively disclose it."

Was his mouth guarded like a general’s gate, how else could he keep it so tightly? It’s a pity Changtian was in seclusion; otherwise, he could tell her his True Body in seconds, saving her from this mystification. She snorted irritably, "Since you don’t want to interact with the world, why did you co looking for ?"

Mr. Yan still presented the sa question, "Is the Divine Monarch still in seclusion?"

"Yes." She sighed, "I thought he would co out after six months, but there’s been no movent for so long. It’s said that the longer the seclusion after taking the Dao Fruit, the better the effect." She glanced at Mr. Yan, "You seem to know everything; can you tell what he might gain from this seclusion?"

Mr. Yan replied seriously, "I am not omnipotent; I only know of things in this realm! The Divine Monarch is currently not in this realm, so naturally, I do not know."

Ning Xiaoxian exclaid, "You, you even know his thod of Enlightennt is a Divine Travel beyond the Heaven!"

Mr. Yan looked at her kindly. Before him stood a graceful young woman, her eyes shining with brilliance, a beauty of rare elegance. Today she wore a pale purple dress, her long black hair falling to her waist like silk, complenting her every movent with an air of understated nobility. She was quite different from when they first t, except for that touch of spiritual energy in her brow that had not faded.

No wonder Shaking Heaven God liked her; being beside such a woman made one feel peaceful and calm. Alas, if it were possible, Mr. Yan wouldn’t wish...

Perhaps it was a misconception, but Ning Xiaoxian always felt a fleeting, indescribable emotion flash in his eyes. He sighed deeply, "It seems that it truly is Heaven’s will. Miss Ning, my clan has a unique ability to see past events, but we cannot understand the human mind or foresee the future. Though I lack the ability of foreknowledge, I do know that traveling eastward in the coming months will greatly benefit your heart’s desire."

She stared at him intently, then slowly spoke, "You an, I should leave the Ba Snake Mountain Range and head east?"

Mr. Yan nodded, "Indeed."

"To where?"

"You should know soon enough."

"Going east, what desire of mine could that fulfill?"

Mr. Yan spoke softly, "What is your greatest desire?"

Could it be anything else? Could this pesky demon not speak a bit more clearly?

Her heart pounded, but after thinking it over, she furrowed her brow, "But I promised Changtian that I wouldn’t leave Hidden Stream until he cos out of seclusion."

Mr. Yan’s throat moved before he spoke, "As far as I know, what you promised him was ’not to leave Hidden Stream within six months,’ right? Now that the six-month period has ended, leaving now does not break your vow."

"You, you even know this!" Ning Xiaoxian exclaid, rembering the subtle words exchanged after that agreent, and her face flushed red. Could Mr. Yan have eavesdropped on even the lovers’ whispers?
