"I'm quite surprised why Yan refused, while some time ago showed good results?!"
"Liu Xingseng's body was too weak Yan did not want to unite."
"Then that time?"
"That's the lady who gave half of the spell energy to keep Liu Xingseng alive." said Ho Hien.
Niu Mayleen was very unable to understand what Xiao Nuan wanted. "What is your goal?"
"Bringing the head of the demon king to the infernal offering."
Niu Mayleen chuckled in amusement, "When seriously you can still joke?!" ask Niu Mayleen.
"I'm serious, you may have been aware of me for a long time" Xiao Nuan said.
They fell silent, Niu Mayleen and Ho Hien did indeed feel a different soul from Xiao Nuan's body. However they were not convinced because Xiao Nuan was a high master.
"The energy of this original body is so weak that even fighting a few royal warriors would make the energy in a drastic decrease."
"Truely, I could feel it when I first met the lady."
Her, Niu Mayleen did not feel anything because she was a monster hunter instead of a spiritual explorer. The martial technique she possessed was not much different from Liu Xingseng before having Yan in her body.
"I'll wait until his strength recovers,"
"That took quite a while." replied Niu Mayleen.
Xiao Nuan knew that so he prepared some plans. "Spiritual energy can be taken from immortal spirits."
"So I want the two of you to look for an immortal spirit for me" Xiao Nuan continued.
"Huh? Where to find the immortal?"
Xiao Nuan gave a map containing the places where there were immortal spirits.
"Don't worry, I'll have Leng accompany you."
They nodded in agreement then immediately left from there, while Xiao Nuan was still thinking about something else. After that it comes out and inhales the air inside.
***
After the trip, Xiao Nuan returned home. He was sneaking around for fear of being noticed by Liu Xingseng.
Accidentally meeting Liu Xingseng's trusted servants made him panic and immediately hide.
"It's a shame that there are no other eyes of Liu Xingseng." Xiao Nuan murmured.
"What are you standing in the bushes." At that instant Xiao Nuan's body was aghast in shock and fell.
He turned his head to see who was asking, it turned out that Liu Xingseng. Not only that there were some friends and bodyguards with him.
"Damn." - Xiao Nuan.
Liu Xingseng wanted to help but seeing Xiao Nuan standing hastily made him undo the intention.
"What's? Why do you get people."
Liu Xingseng frowned, "You're acting like a hiding thief it's wrong of me to ask."
Xiao Nuan raised the corner of his lips in annoyance, "Well, what are you doing in my pavilion?!" the circus Xiao Nuan.
The one who was there was only silent because Xiao Nuan did not look up at Liu Xingseng in such a way as to bully him.
"I have some meetings and they also bring the wife and concubine, to make the meeting not bored will hold a lotus tea banquet in the park later."
Xiao Nuan rolled his eyes, he was annoyed that Liu Xingseng knew very well that he was lazy to be in the crowd why he still said that in front of so many people that he could not refuse.
"Yes I will come later, after my mood is good." replied Xiao Nuan then bowed away, yes slightly respecting him as a husband instead.
***
After entering the pavilion, Xiao Nuan nagged a lot. Why was there an impromptu meeting and many of Liu Xingseng's wives and concubines had come.
"Was he doing that on purpose."
Xiao Nuan was too dizzy to lay his body on the floor near the bed, "What's the escape again?" thought Xiao Nuan for feeling cooped up.
Suddenly a figure appeared before Xiao Nuan making him surprised because he was daydreaming. He saw the figure immediately saluting.
Xiao Nuan told the figure to get up, "Hamba gave a report to the big miss." Xiao Nuan asked him to report what happened.
"Commander Zhan's residence has already begun the initial strategy. It's likely to be done right at the meeting of the noble ladies."
"Today?"
He nodded firmly, it turned out that for a few years there was movement from these enemies. "It's been too long. Have you not seen a strategy for the past 4 years."
The spy nodded, "Commander Zhan made the prince Liu's residence his last target. They had already gotten rid of everything now that the Liu princely family was the toughest point of this politics."
"Humans are indeed very thirsty for something that exists in this world." Xiao Nuan murmured.
The spy resigned then disappeared within seconds, Xiao Nuan was astonished as to why his final point was at prince Liu.
"This time they collaborated so much, I was very curious as to what the emperor would do."
Liu Xingseng, on the other hand, was in the reading room with his personal servant, discussing political issues and increasingly murky wars.
"The emperor seems to have deliberately made the master go to war."
"Right, but he was also afraid that the warring master could always cause a rebellion later because our forces were strong enough."
Liu Xingseng only silently held the brush over the ink, he felt perplexed that no one had ever offended him in the palace about politics.
"Counselor, do you feel that in the palace like you are planning something" Liu Xingseng said.
The adviser nodded, "These few years, master has been so focused on fighting that no one dares to offend about your political standing."
"However, I feel that is not true because several times I have seen ministers trying to shift your political position in various ways. The result was not shifted without the master doing anything.
Liu Xingseng's thoughts deepened, he recalled that everyone he planted in politics had never done anything big but should the matter of ministers attacking him must have known.
Until this moment he only received insignificant news from his people, feeling like there was someone else controlling his political standing in the palace.
"Counselor, now I'm assigning you to watch over everyone who is related to palace politics. This time the matter is more complicated than the war."
The advisors nodded obediently and then resigned, leaving only Liu Xingseng's personal bodyguards standing guard outside.
He feels controlled by others, but he doesn't know who it is. "This time he's got people wrong."

Hatchih ....
The personal servant immediately approached Xiao Nuan in a panic. "Miss, are you feeling unwell? Do I need to call a healer."
Xiao Nuan raised his hand an unnecessary sign, he rubbed his nose. Inwardly told who dared to curse at him.
"Ordinary dust, only,"
The waiter reported that the preparations were done because many people were envoys of the imperial palace to help this great event. Xiao Nuan felt bad about it.
Since his conjecture must be correct, Xiao Nuan had to prepare some plans for the anticipation of things he did not want.
Since Ho Hien wasn't here, he had to do everything himself. On the border between the wilderness and the urban Ho Hien with Niu Mayleen continued to run non-stop.
They wanted to search for immortal spirits, but the clues from Xiao Nuan were minimal. Niu Mayleen is exhausted she asks Ho Hien to rest for a while in a cottage.
Arriving at the cottage they are both quite interested because this place is not an ordinary cottage but a resting place for people who travel outside the city.
Once there the waiter immediately welcomed the friendly Ho Hien and Niu Mayleen. Without asking them to serve a drink and some snacks.
"There's a special order?" ask the waiter with a friendly face. Instantly Niu Mayleen understood it turned out that this cottage was a place of information transactions on the dark side of kingdoms.
From the look on the faces of the maids and people around made Niu Mayleen quite surprised, "We just stopped to rest before continuing the journey again."
"What are you and your lady going for."
"We are looking for an immortal spirit." Niu Mayleen replied casually. In contrast to Ho Hien was so surprised that he turned to Niu Mayleen he was surprised because of the speech just now.
"After a long time, it turns out that there are still people who believe that the immortal spirit exists." the servant chuckled. Ho Hien felt that the person in front of them was not an indiscriminate servant.
"Rubber, I also think so but it is different from my master. He believes the immortal spirit is still left in this world." said Niu Mayleen as she tasted the drink.
"I have a little information about immortal spirits, before that introduce me is Jiu Hu the owner of this little hut."
"Owner? It is very flattering to be served by the owner directly."
"Master don't insult, this little cottage will require a lot of funds if I'm hiring a lot of people."
"Lady lodge is very humble, this place is so crowded." said Ho Hien cynically. Jiu Hu chuckled then apologized because this secluded place was not so many newcomers every day.
"In essence, we said we knew about the immortal spirit."
Jiu Hu took something from behind her clothes, took out a small piece of paper and gave it to Ho Hien.
"This is the only clue left if you can get it."
"I'm sure it's not free." replied Ho Hien sharply.
Jiu Hu laughed as he instantly turned his face into a serious one. "How much money do we need?!" ask Ho Hien ketus.
"Miss is too shy, I'm not interested in money. But if it's allowed I want to know what kind of people want this rare stuff that's gone extinct."
Niu Mayleen put the cup down slowly, "Later if this rare item is already obtained I will take you to meet my master."
After saying that he pulled Ho Hien's hand to go from the place, with an upset heart Ho Hien left even though he wanted to say a lot of things about the dishonesty of the cabin master.
After leaving Jiu Hu gestured for his subordinates to follow Ho Hien and Niu Mayleen, "My meridians were almost destroyed when wanting to take it, let's see if you can take it or not."
****
2 Weeks passed
Xiao Nuan got the letter from the bird, he smiled in satisfaction as he read the short piece of writing there. Because Liu Xingseng was going to the border area for urgent matters.
He closed his eyes as soon as his body split into two. "This is enough to fool my husband's eyes" Xiao Nuan said cunningly.
He immediately rushed away from the residence to catch up with the sender of the letter. None other than Niu Mayleen finally after 3 Weeks they found the place of existence of the immortal spirit.
Because Xiao Nuan's order was to find the rare item so they could not get close to the immortal spirit.
Since Xiao Nuan's cultivation had improved he only took 4 days to find the whereabouts of his subordinates and immortal spirits. "Very satisfying!" xiao Nuan said satisfied when he saw Niu Mayleen and Ho Hien sitting not far from the place of the immortal spirit.
"Miss!"
Ho Hien hugged Xiao Nuan's body tightly, he was so longed and worried away from Xiao Nuan. "You're not saying that an immortal spirit is a red peach" said Ho Hien.
Niu Mayleen agreed with her remark, they thought that the immortal spirit was some kind of animal or sacred form. It turns out to be a fruitful plant, "Stupid, if your living creatures would never be able to find it."
Xiao Nuan felt a strong barrier between the plant and the outside world. It is appropriate to be called an immortal spirit, even the plants around it have a strong spiritual effect from the growth of this fruit.
Xiao Nuan retracted a few words then walked through the extremely powerful spiritual barrier when closer to the fruit. This plant was fruitful hundreds of years ago but neither falling nor rotting had it absorbed much of the spiritual energy that attacked it.
Suddenly a strong pressure headed towards him, it was fortunate that Xiao Nuan had been preparing since earlier it made him not surprised. Without further ado he took out a spirit sword and began to touch the plants that were blocking him.
The sound of the explosion was strong enough to make Ho Hien and Niu Mayleen surprised. They wanted to see yet it could only make him injured and would trouble Xiao Nuan later on.
"Your master is indeed strong" said someone from the side. Instantly they turned to look it was Jiu Hu. Ho Hien greeted him so unfriendly that Jiu Hu chuckled.
"It turns out the allegations have not been a lie, you are indeed not an ordinary human being." said Ho Hien.
"And I have no business with a loser fox like you." Jiu Hu chimps.
Ho Hien wants to attack Jiu Hu but is blocked by Niu Mayleen. "He was just curious, the most important thing was to protect the lady" Niu Mayleen said.
If they were to attack Jiu Hu that they did not know which level they were at, fearing that it would drain them and make mistakes later on.
The loud thumping sounded made them hold onto their ears and chest, as great spiritual power spread to other regions. Jiu Hu chuckled then underestimated Xiao Nuan who was inside.
"Your master has lost, the spiritual energy that spread out is marked that the immortal spirit adds a new energy after a few years."
Upset at his master's disdain, Ho Hien attacked Jiu Hu with all points. And you can't believe that Jiu Hu only takes a minute to make Ho Hien bounce around in pain.
"Since your master is dead, then you must also become immortal spirit food." Jiu Hu said with vengeful eyes.
Niu Mayleen dodged the attack from Jiu Hu's subordinates who suddenly came and attacked her. He dragged Ho Hien's body to safety before he resisted the attack.
Jiu Hu's subordinates could still be dealt with, but when Niu Mayleen faced off directly with Jiu Hu her strength had already diminished. "Death!" Jiu Hu directly attacked Niu Mayleen using a sword.
Duarrr.
"How dare you touch my man?!"
Jiu Hu was knocked back by the force person Xiao Nuan. He looked the other way and saw a woman dressed in red who was none other than Xiao Nuan.
"You!"
Xiao Nuan raised his hand then flicked quickly making an attack that instantly knocked down Jiu Hu. "No one will allow you to talk." Xiao Nuan said sharply.
The injured Jiu Hu raised his head he wanted to clearly see the woman who defeated him. "Miss, are you okay?" asked Ho Hien with the injured condition.
Looking at the wound on Ho Hien's abdomen, without further ado he instantly lifted Jiu Hu's body with strength. "Even a fox still wants you to slash?" ask Xiao Nuan.
"Who are you?"
"A bastard like you doesn't need to know who I am." Xiao Nuan replied and directly attacked Jiu Hu with a loud punch. His body bounced far away and spewed blood.
"Any demon path like yours should die" Xiao Nuan said raising his sword. He could not forgive the man in front of him.
Jiu Hu was shocked because his identity was known by Xiao Nuan. This made him even more curious to face him.
In the seconds Jiu Hu was dying by the Xiao Nuan sword stuck in his chest he said something. "I would die at your hands, but I'm sure you'll die at your husband's."
Then Jiu Hu's body fruited into fire and flew away in the wind.
