The Naughty Senior Sister
A Relationship Filled With Vigilance
Under the ground, Yan Xu had finally risen again from the dead. He used the escape technique and came out from the depths of the ground which was his alibi place.
Out naked, Yan Xu examined the surroundings from every detail.
Crushed soil, large craters, burnt talisman marks to repetitive bones that slowly turn into dust grains.
Not far from his standing location, Yan Xu was able to sense the air of someone's presence. Quickly, he took out his immortal clothes and robe and hurriedly put them on.
The entity began to get closer and closer, the recovered Yan Xu immediately prepared in case of a surprise attack.
From afar, a figure whose stature almost resembled Xia'er, yet possessed a charm and beauty like Yan Xu could be seen walking towards him.
'Who is that? I have never had the memory that the previous owner of the body ever had an illegitimate child, Yan Xu said in a heart of astonishment.
The closer the girl was, the more Yan Xu felt that the two of them almost bore a resemblance.
Not wanting to take a dizzy, Yan Xu only put on a flat face as usual in order to hide his astonishment.
The girl immediately gave a respectful greeting by clenching her hands together while saying, "Shang Yin saluted the Master."
"Huh? Shang Yin's? Has the Shang Yin I know now been cursed by demons to be a woman? Or ... This is the afterlife world and I was in samsara purifying my soul before being immersed in the river Styx?" yan Xu said.
Pft!
Shang Yin chuckled as she covered her mouth. He did not mind the little thing and said, "I am Shang Yin with an original appearance. What you saw earlier, was just my disguise."
"O-oh ..." Yan Xu could only nod without saying.
He wanted to know what he was feeling right now. There were some feelings of joy and longing in his heart, yet he was sure it was not the feeling he had towards Shang Yin. More precisely, his immortal body knew Shang Yin even though there were no related memories of this girl.
Throwing away unnecessary thoughts, Yan Xu asked seriously, "So, where were you when the demons surrounded me?"
"I'm also under siege, so I can't give you any help in time. After I finished cleaning up my part, there was a sudden explosion and I had to leave immediately so as not to be affected."
"What about Long Feiyun?" Yan Xu had already released his divine consciousness, but Long Feiyun's presence was still nowhere to be found.
"He is liberating his fellow race," Shang Yin replied full of lies without a doubt.
"Um, great."
In response to this, Yan Xu did not take heart if Long Feiyun got the award for the opportunity he had made. He did not want to become a hero for a race, so the job was indeed more aptly aimed at the little dragon girl.
Not finding a single one about the existence of demons on the surface, Yan Xu glanced towards Shang Yin.
In response to that glance, Shang Yin immediately responded, "All the demons in the surface area have been scorched due to the last big explosion. So, we just need to enter the Junction of the Underworld."
His eyes narrowed and said, "Who are you? I never talked about my purpose here to anyone, other than that ..." Yan Xu pointed the tip of the sword at Shang Yin and said, "Why are you acting like you have known me for a long time and know about my movements? In fact, you've already used a disguise technique that only the members of Peak Wind know."
Yan Xu was not that million to the point that he had not noticed Shang Yin's body shape since the first time they met. He who created the technique knew of the flaws in which women still could not hide their aura and some feminine form, as well as men in disguise.
That was why, Yan Xu had never disguised himself as the opposite sex because he was unable to hide some form of his male body. He also warned them not to do so. That was because, Yan Xu made such a technique just to cover up their personal identity as well as their charm.
Just now he was happy, yet the pleasure did not last long because the man was too meticulous. Shang Yin became somewhat sad and sighed in disappointment.
He should have used a better approach, rather than having to plant lies in the beginning. Such was Shang Yin's regret that caused their relationship to become full of vigilance.
Shang Yin pulled the energy sword from the empty air just like Yan Xu, she also pointed her sword tip towards the man.
"It's a pity, I think we can still continue the journey even longer. However, this was also a great change to the course of destiny that should be."
Hearing that, Yan Xu clicked his tongue then said, "Destiny again, destiny again. Isn't the creature in this world too enamored of the so-called destiny? All of you make destiny an excuse with a light hand."
"However, you must also believe in destiny, right?" this time Shang Yin dared to take the risk and change her way of speaking.
Once again, the back of Yan Xu's head was as if it had been struck using a sledgehammer.
Given all the coincidences that were supposed to be fate, he was getting closer to a guess that he did not want to admit. All coincidences are predetermined destinies, but they violate the principle of his free life.
Admitting this, it is the same as stating that his life has been arranged not on his own will!
Releasing his energy sword, Yan Xu drew an entire aura of hostility towards Shang Yin. He calmed down for a moment then said, "How much do you know about me?"
Shaking his head, Shang Yin gave only a hint to his father, "Find that answer at the Underground Crossing. We'll meet back there and all the answers you want, you'll most likely get once you get there."
After replying, Shang Yin turned away from Yan Xu.
Seeing he wanted to leave, Yan Xu yelled out wanting to stop him, yet it was too late. In front of Yan Xu was only Shang Yin's shadow that slowly disappeared, the technique was again the same as the one he used often.
"Who are you ...."
Looking at which direction Shang Yin went, Yan Xu assumed that the portal to the Lower Road Intersection was in that direction.
He immediately pursued Shang Yin's route until he finally reached a portal that was the size of a huge hole within the valley. He did not immediately enter and check the conditions around him.
"There are no traps, even here there are laws of space that separate the parts around the portal from the real world."
Making sure there was nothing strange, Yan Xu entered the portal directly without preparation because all the traps and talismans he carried had been exhausted from fighting the demons on the surface.
Armed only with the techniques and knowledge he had learned, Yan Xu continued to advance to uncover unsolved secrets.
