The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1241: Chapter 634: Love Binds, Love Traps (Part 2)

Miluo smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "The Shaking Heaven God has always been true to his word, I am very reassured, just waiting for good news."

The room fell silent for a moment. The serious business had been discussed, and it was far from lunchtime. Changtian picked up the tea bowl on the table, gently skimmed the floating stems in the tea with the blue porcelain lid, took a sip, which was a signal to see the guests off, and those perceptive enough would take their leave on their own.

Sure enough, Miluo stood up and gave a slight smile, looking at Ning Xiaoxian and said: "Miss Ning, it has been three years since we last met, may I have a word with you in private?" He didn’t even glance at Changtian.

He only asked Ning Xiaoxian, and not for Changtian’s consent.

He had the audacity to come forth and say it openly, wanting to have a private conversation with Ning Xiaoxian!

Changtian’s face darkened, initially wanting to refuse aloud, but when his gaze swept over to the beautiful lady, he saw her blink, with a face full of bewilderment, and for some reason recalled Old Man Zeng’s words to him. The words of refusal lingered on the tip of his tongue for a long time but shrank back.

This was a matter she needed to resolve herself, shouldn’t he avoid overstepping boundaries?

So when Ning Xiaoxian turned her head to look at him, Changtian surprisingly placed his palm on her shoulder, gave it a squeeze, and then walked out from behind her, with all the attendants in the hall following him out in a stream.

His tall figure quickly disappeared outside the door, leaving only a deep, mellow voice echoing in her ears: "Get rid of him quickly."

Although the voice carried a hint of gritting teeth, and it was still a commanding tone, but... did he consent? Ning Xiaoxian was astonished, her eyes wide open.

Yesterday, he even tore apart the Feather Robe of Purity that Miluo gave her, along with his beastly outburst, and today he actually allowed her to speak alone with Miluo? They say a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; how come she felt that Changtian’s thoughts were a hundred thousand times more difficult to guess?

Miluo’s complexion changed slightly, seemingly not expecting Changtian’s reaction. But he quickly adjusted, walked to her side and said softly: "When did you wake up?"

She stood up as well, answering seriously: "After the Laba Festival."

Miluo saw her back was straight, her long neck slightly drawn in, a subconscious defensive posture, clearly she wasn’t used to him being so close. He heaved a silent sigh in his heart, but said: "Don’t blame me for not daring to take risks and finding a God, in another half a year I will undergo the Tribulation Crossing, at this time I don’t dare to make any side moves."

She softly uttered an "ah". She nearly forgot that Miluo’s cultivation had reached the Early Stage Tribulation Crossing, soon to reach Great Perfection. Logically, he should be in seclusion at this time, striving to have a better chance of survival during the Heavenly Tribulation, rather than continuing to toil over official duties.

Unlike most demons who grow their cultivation steadily and solidly, Miluo directly inherited most of the Old Mansion Master’s cultivation, though it took a shortcut, it inevitably had some side effects; primarily his Dao Heart’s growth couldn’t keep up with his cultivation, furthermore, the resultant cultivation had a somewhat unstable foundation, similar to human cultivation progress. Yet, after obtaining the former Master’s cultivation, Miluo astonishingly reached Great Perfection in just three years, evident that over these years, Fengtian Prefecture was entirely under his control, otherwise, he couldn’t have dedicated himself to cultivation.

"It’s a pity the Nine-Revolution Ascending Lotus, this Miracle Medicine, can’t be used by demons, otherwise he could strive for more time." This thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Noting her demeanor softened, with a touch of sympathy in her eyes, Miluo knew he successfully moved her, and added more fuel to the fire: "Three years ago, after receiving the news of Jin Manyi’s death, I was rushing to the Central Capital and received the message that the Shaking Heaven God had broken out of Bai Yujing, then I learned of your disappearance. I sent people to investigate closely, but all the evidence pointed that you should have perished within Bai Yujing at that time, I was very saddened. Jin Wuhuan targeted you because of me, I suspected that God originally wanted to seek trouble with me, but after receiving the message I sent, he seemed to change his mind."

After her presumed death, Miluo had exchanged messages with Changtian? She blinked, indeed, after killing Jin Manyi’s maid, Changtian had mentioned it, only in passing.

His red eyes were moist and bright, like the finest Blood Jade, the undisguised sentiment within made her turn her head involuntarily, unwilling to meet his gaze directly: "At that time, among the survivors on the seventh floor, there were still dozens of people. I found twenty people to question them, they all told me, Jin Wuhuan asked you who the killer was, and you never told him." He paused before continuing to ask, "Ning Xiaoxian, with your intelligence, how could you not know Jin Manyi truly died at my hands? At the Mirror Sea King’s birthday banquet, you and Huangfuming already saw the clues, didn’t you?"
