"Teacher, what... do you mean?"
"No, it's nothing." Bibi Dong stood up somewhat hastily and walked to the side.
"You can go out now, I'll change my clothes."
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with a hesitant expression, then responded and left the bedchamber.
Several days later, with the help of the Ice Dragon King, Xuan Ming returned to Sunset Forest and jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The immense energy in the spring water rapidly nourished Xuan Ming's weakened body, and the power of the dragon soul also accelerated his recovery.
After soaking in the water for nearly three days, Xuan Ming finally woke up, and his severely exhausted body managed to stabilize.
The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's regenerative ability also requires a large amount of energy. Since it does not have the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, its efficiency in restoring itself by absorbing plant energy is not high. However, because this Soul Bone was modified by the power of the dragon bone, it has the ability to absorb the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He insisted on leaving, not only because of what Bibi Dong had done, but also because returning here would be the fastest way for him to recover.
" Sister Bing, is there something you're hiding from me?" Xuan Ming sat down on the shore, his wet hair still dripping water. He suddenly looked up at the Ice Dragon King and asked.
"Huh?" The Ice Dragon King was taken aback.
"What is it?"
" Bibi Dong," Xuan Ming said.
"I feel like you didn't finish what you were saying that night, and you left out quite a few things."
"Really?" The Ice Dragon King felt a little guilty, his eyes unconsciously drifting elsewhere.
"Nothing was leaked, right?"
Seeing that the Ice Dragon King didn't want to talk and seemed to be keeping quiet about it, Xuan Ming had no choice but to give up asking.
Are you injured?
Just then, the Blue Silver Emperor planted on the edge of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red shimmered slightly. With a flash of pale blue light, it conjured up the phantom of a girl in her early teens wearing a blue and gold dress and with flowing blue hair.
"No, it's just a minor problem." Xuan Ming picked up a piece of clothing and casually covered himself with it.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before..." the blue-haired girl muttered softly, but Xuan Ming still heard her.
Xuan Ming glanced at the Blue Silver Emperor, "What did you say?"
Blue Silver Emperor awkwardly stuck out his tongue. "I didn't say anything, you misheard."
Xuan Ming withdrew his gaze, deciding to give up on discussing these issues.
After years of being cleansed by the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Blue Silver Emperor has recovered to the point where she can create phantom images. However, it is unclear whether the Sacrifice damaged her brain or caused a problem with her soul.
Or, as the Ice Dragon King said, because he planted the Blue Silver Emperor next to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, during its growth, the Blue Silver Emperor had those painful memories of love absorbed.
The current Blue Silver Emperor only has memories of when she first took human form; she can't remember anything else.
However, this is also a good thing for her, as she no longer has to face the mentally unstable Tang Hao, nor does she have to face a possessed fake son.
Some things are better forgotten, since they weren't exactly good things anyway.
"Why were you gone for so long this time?" Ah Yin floated to Xuan Ming's side, lightly lay down on the ground, rested her chin on her hands, and asked curiously.
"Something came up, I was delayed," Xuan Ming said.
"You didn't get into a fight, did you?" Ah Yin asked, a little worried.
"No," Xuan Ming said.
"Oh, you've never played against him." Ah Yin sighed, a hint of teasing in her tone.
Xuan Ming's expression froze. "Can you stop mimicking my speech?"
When Ah Yin first regained consciousness, she was very gentle, but for some reason, the longer they spent time together, the more distorted she became!
This mouth is getting more and more venomous!
Just like him!
"Why?" Ah Yin looked at Xuan Ming with an innocent expression.
"Did I say something wrong? You just got beaten up. Look how weak you are, still trying to save face."
The Ice Dragon King couldn't help but laugh, "Now you know how infuriating your words are, right?"
Xuan Ming glanced at Ah Yin speechlessly, put the clothes aside, and jumped back into the spring.
"I'm going into seclusion for a while. If Dugu Bo comes, have him pass on a message for me, lest someone suspect I've run away again, and I might end up being hunted down across the entire continent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ming sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving only ripples spreading across the water's surface.
"Lord Dragon King, is he alright?" Ah Yin, who had been mischievous just moments before, looked at the Ice Dragon King with a worried expression.
"It's alright, he'll recover after a period of seclusion," the Ice Dragon King said.
"Who hit him?" Ah Yin asked, somewhat angrily.
"When he first came back, he could barely stand and fell headfirst into the pool. Who could have done such a thing to him?"
The Ice Dragon King glanced at Xuan Ming, who had already sunk to the bottom of the spring, and thought for a moment.
"A big man with a hammer!"
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
"Young Master, news has arrived from Spirit City: Xuan Ming has gone to the Pope's Palace."
"What!"
Qian Renxue slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Wasn't he in Suotuo City? How come he suddenly went to Spirit City?"
"Uh..." Snake Lance Douluo paused.
"Young Master, based on my understanding of that boy, he..."
"Maybe they're lost."
Qian Renxue's expression froze. "Possibly."
He stubbornly refused to admit that he had no sense of direction, but he still got lost in the bustling downtown area of Heaven Dou City after just three minutes of not keeping an eye on things!
If she hadn't left Zhu Zhuqing with Xuan Ming before she left, she wouldn't have dared to let that guy wander around outside alone.
Otherwise, that guy would probably get lost and end up in the Star Luo Empire just by taking a few steps!
Chapter 139 Stereotypes
"Besides, young master, please don't be angry. He has already left Spirit City," said Snake Lance Douluo.
"They left?" Qian Renxue was taken aback.
"So fast?"
"It wasn't that fast. He stayed in the Pope's Palace for a few days. The Great Enshrined probably didn't want you to be angry about this, so he didn't send the message over," said Snake Lance Douluo.
"However, it seems that Xuan Ming had an argument with the Pope before leaving Spirit City, and they even came to blows."
"They've made their move?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
What's going on?
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but according to news from Spirit City, Xuan Ming left the Pope's Palace in the middle of the night and ran all the way out of Spirit City. His aura was very strange, so he must have been involved in a fight. However, he was taken back by the Pope not long after leaving the city," said Snake Lance Douluo.
"When dawn broke, he left the Pope's Palace again, and quickly left Spirit City as well."
"Furthermore, according to the Elder Hall, there were signs of fighting in the Pope's Palace that night, and the Pope Palace was also damaged. However, the Pope said that it was because she made a mistake in her cultivation."
"A mistake?" Qian Renxue laughed.
"I thought that woman was very tolerant of him, but she still lost her temper, didn't she?"
"You said I was impatient, but isn't she the same now?"
"Young Master is right. The Pope is just talking without understanding the situation," Snake Lance Douluo agreed.
"Where is he? Did he return to Suotuo City?" Qian Renxue asked.
"According to the reports from our scouts in Spirit City, he should be heading back towards Heaven Dou City," said Snake Lance Douluo.
"Young Master, he just had a falling out with the Pope. Should we... take advantage of this situation?"
Qian Renxue frowned. "He just had a conflict with the Pope. If I were to say something at a time like this, do you think he would thank me for comforting him, or suspect that I have ulterior motives and am trying to sow discord?"
"Uh..." The Snake Lance Douluo was speechless for a moment.
It's most likely the latter.
In Xuan Ming's eyes, Qian Renxue was indeed subject to stereotypes!
However, this stereotype was indeed built Qian Renxue herself.
Of course, he wouldn't dare say such a thing.
Three months later.
The long-dormant Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suddenly rippled, and at the confluence of the cold spring and the fire spring, a vortex slowly formed.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly rose from the bottom of the spring; it was Xuan Ming, who had been in seclusion for a long time.
His injuries and Soul Ring have been fully recovered.
In addition, it might be the stimulation of the Ring Devouring, or the accidental activation of the Tool Soul Unity when fighting Tang Hao, or the stimulation of the Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring that was accidentally devoured. In addition, after soaking in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for three months, his Soul Power that was depleted due to the removal of the External Soul Bone has recovered and even increased by one level, reaching level forty-four.
Moreover, he vaguely sensed that his restored Soul Ring were somewhat different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
We need to observe carefully.
After emerging from the spring, Xuan Ming did not immediately go ashore, nor did he make any grand entrance. He simply poked his head above the water, his wet hair clinging to his cheeks, water droplets constantly dripping from the ends of his hair.
"Why don't you... turn your head away?"
Xuan Ming looked at Ah Yin, who was lying on the shore, staring intently at him as if she had been waiting for a long time, and said with a hint of helplessness.
"What's wrong?" Ah Yin asked, looking puzzled and curious, her head tilted slightly, looking incredibly cute.
"I'm not wearing any clothes." Xuan Ming was speechless.
"Are you shy?" Ah Yin revealed a sly smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and her eyes carrying a hint of teasing.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Xuan Ming sighed. He saw swirling ice mist around him, Sisi quickly enveloped him and then condensed into a thin layer of ice crystals, as if he were wearing a crystal-clear suit of armor.
"Huh?" Ah Yin looked confused.
You cheated!
I'll blame you, you bitch!
Xuan Ming went ashore speechlessly and quickly got dressed.
"Has Dugu Bo been here?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I've been here." Ah Yin turned away angrily.
It's a rare opportunity to tease Xuan Ming, but this guy actually cheated!
"I need to go out for a bit," Xuan Ming said.
Ah Yin paused, then turned around. "Going out again?"
"I've been gone for months. If I don't show my face soon, people outside will probably start to suspect I'm dead," Xuan Ming said.
"Oh..." Ah Yin looked somewhat disappointed; her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and her head drooped.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Can... can I go out with you?" Ah Yin asked cautiously, her voice so low it was almost inaudible, her head bowed even lower.
"What are you going out for?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
