Chapter 463 - 231: An Ambitious Woman
As soon as the words fell, the little snow ermine transformed into an adorable little girl.
She appeared to be about seven or eight years old, dressed in a white dress, with two spiral-shaped buns on her head, a round little face that was tender and cute, and big eyes that blinked with an innocence untouched by the world.
Chu Xuan, seeing her transformed into this appearance, immediately felt his mood brighten. He bent down and picked her up, letting her sit in the crook of his arm, and even gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Little Snow is so cute~"
Qingqing felt a bit jealous seeing this scene, and Ji Mingyu was even more regretful, thinking if only she had advised Little Snow to transform into an old lady when she first took human shape, would Chu Xuan still like her?
No, wait, Yun Ni Fairy was an old lady when she first appeared... This won’t work! Chu Xuan, this pervert, likes any woman with no discrimination—he should have sought a male from the start!
No, that’s not right either, creatures like foxes and ermines, even if male, would appear quite pretty and delicate after transformation, might let Chu Xuan feel moved.
Eventually, Ji Mingyu could only cover her face, praying that Little Snow would have the sense not to stir trouble, not to give Chu Xuan too many opportunities.
Of course, she would keep an eye on them both continuously.
"Um, Chu Xuan, is it okay to hold me like this?" Little Snow said somewhat bashfully.
Actually, her initial impression of Chu Xuan was quite good, not believing he would be that sort of person; it was all because her master kept flooding her mind with inappropriate and naughty thoughts, which made her start to worry about Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan, with a light tone, set her down, "From now on, just stay by my side like this."
...
As several people emerged from the Ancient Battlefield, the Beauty Head looked at Chu Xuan and asked: You promised me to help rebuild my body and set me free, when will that happen?
She couldn’t speak; hence she transmitted her thoughts using Divine Sense.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan indeed felt somewhat embarrassed, commanding her for so many years without even a semblance of a promise?
He thought about it briefly and nodded, "I’ll help you gather some intelligence about it, don’t rush, give me a little time."
Thus, the Beauty Head dutifully carried them "Sword Control" flying again.
She could easily conceal her existence, so she wouldn’t be detected, even if she wished to intervene, she could transform into a complete human figure.
...
Two days later, atop the main peak of Left God’s Void Heaven, where Li’an Demon Sect resided, halls lined in imposing majesty.
With Qingqing, this "insider," leading the way, they quietly slipped into the Mountain Protection Array.
Of course, this didn’t escape Yao Yufei, and soon both parties met within Li’an Hall.
This mature beauty, dressed in a long black gown with large sleeves, seductive and dangerous in temperament, came only with Abyssal Devourer Dragon.
Upon meeting, before she spoke, she looked at Chu Xuan with quite a bit of surprise.
Seeing this man with hands behind his back, dressed in a blood-red robe with a tiny crimson mask hanging at his waist.
His appearance hadn’t changed; he was still Chu Xuan, but his aura had altered significantly—cold, commanding, and even with a hint of wickedness.
His gaze at her carried an air of superiority, as if evaluating his prey, compared to the headstrong youth who came to save his daughter years ago, he seemed like a different person.
To Yao Yufei, Chu Xuan finally exhibited some hallmarks of the legendary "Celestial Evil Demon Venerable," and she couldn’t sense his cultivation anymore, merely making eye contact with him gave her a slightly dangerous feeling.
However, she wouldn’t allow herself to be easily suppressed by his aura and simply examined him with an intrigued gaze.
For some unknown reason, seeing Chu Xuan made the Demon Dragon somewhat nervous, which silently annoyed Yao Yufei, and she transmitted to it:
"Why are you scared? You’ve merely been injured by that mysterious artifact once, no lingering trauma?"
The Demon Dragon shook its head vehemently, there was no trauma, it merely instinctively sensed Chu Xuan could penalize it, thus it responded: Perhaps it’s due to consuming the artifact’s energy.
"Always eating, daring to eat anything, why don’t you eat till you burst!" Yao Yufei scolded, feeling exasperated.
Although neither party spoke after meeting, she was shrewd enough to see that Chu Xuan came with intentions, thus she wouldn’t yield forthright in front of him.
"Mother~" Qingqing first broke the stalemate, quickly stepping forward, affectionately holding her hand.
Yao Yufei coldly met her daughter’s gaze, "You still remember I’m your mother?"
Indeed, when she initially let Qingqing escape with Chu Xuan, part of her plan was to plant someone beside "Celestial Demon" so it might benefit her in the future.
Another aspect was thinking she could locate their position using usual methods, thereby gaining crucial intelligence without fearing her daughter would elope.
But Yao Yufei later realized the Secret Technique failed; she couldn’t track her daughter’s whereabouts at all.
So she could only temporarily abandon this notion, waiting for them to reveal themselves, which took a decade.
Qingqing wasn’t one to be easily placated, retorting: "And I didn’t feel you treated me as your daughter before."
Yao Yufei was momentarily speechless, only shaking her head with a sigh, "It was harsh on you, but I... nevermind, we’ll have a good talk later in private."
Suddenly, she gripped her daughter’s hand, troubled, "Didn’t I tell you those things? You really didn’t take any of it to heart."
