Chapter 1759: Chapter 1755: What Are You Looking At? Never Seen a Handsome Guy Before? (First Update)
As soon as his figure disappeared, several rays of light dashed to the forefront, led by a middle-aged woman with an imposing appearance.
Upon seeing the two people lying unconscious on the ground, a trace of anger appeared in the middle-aged woman’s eyes.
"How dare these despicable scoundrels attack people of my Shuiyue Temple!"
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up, beginning to search for the residual aura left at the scene.
This is also the renowned technique of Shuiyue Temple, capable of scanning for all traces and conducting retrospection and tracking.
But unexpectedly, this usually effective move lost its efficacy at this moment.
The scene was empty, with absolutely no extraneous aura.
How could this be?
I clearly saw someone here just now!
The middle-aged woman was taken aback.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Master, look at this!"
Saying this, the disciple handed the two Elixirs to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman took them and looked at them; initially, she didn’t pay much attention, but as she casually opened the bottle stopper, a powerful pressure projected out from the bottle mouth.
And it was accompanied by an intoxicating exotic fragrance.
Just one sniff made the middle-aged woman extremely shocked to discover that her cultivation level, which had long been stagnant, actually increased slightly.
This was too incredible.
Meanwhile, the two young girls had already been awakened.
The middle-aged woman impatiently asked, "What did you two encounter? Why did you suddenly faint? And what is the story with these two Elixirs?"
The two young girls were confused by the barrage of questions, and it was quite a while before they reacted.
"We... we initially came to collect herbs as you instructed, but unexpectedly encountered a person!"
"A person?" The middle-aged woman’s eyes shone.
"Senior sister, you’re wrong; it was not a person, but a ghost!"
At the sound of the word ’ghost,’ the senior sister’s face turned pale as a sheet.
"Yes... yes, it was a ghost! And a very terrifying, terrifying ghost!"
Recalling the frightening, horrendous face, the two young girls couldn’t help but start trembling again.
However, the middle-aged woman was perplexed by her two disciples’ words.
First it was a person, and then it was a ghost?
But when her gaze landed on the Elixirs in her hands, her eyes couldn’t help but gradually burn with enthusiasm.
No matter if the other party was human or ghost, at least these Elixirs were real.
If used properly, maybe Shuiyue Temple would rise to prosperity.
Thinking of this, she was moved; she spoke nonchalantly, "Enough of this nonsense about ghosts and humans; you two must have been scared out of your wits, mistaking your dreams for reality!"
"But..." The two young girls still wanted to say something.
"Enough! This matter is hereby concluded; no one is allowed to mention it again! Do you understand?" The middle-aged woman’s expression turned stern, and she commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes... yes!" Although feeling a bit uneasy, the two young girls lowered their heads obediently and responded.
What they didn’t know was that their fate would change due to today’s events.
Initially mediocre cultivators, they forcibly became True Immortal level masters because of these two Elixirs.
As a result, Shuiyue Temple jumped from a second-rate sect to a top sect.
But even after hundreds and thousands of years, they never knew who they encountered on that day or where those two Elixirs came from.
This matter had since become an unsolved mystery in the history of Shuiyue Temple.
Of course, it’s believed everyone should have already guessed who this individual was.
That’s right!
It was Xue An’s close friend, a standout among the young generation in Qingqiu Fox Country, Huyue!
As for why he would come to such an insignificant, remote place...
That would have to be asked to him.
At this moment.
Huyue appeared in a bustling city thousands of miles away.
Although it couldn’t compare to the megacities on Earth, it was decent enough.
When Huyue appeared on the main street, many people cast curious glances his way.
Some women were drawn by the mischievous grin on his face, frequently sneaking peeks at him.
After all, Huyue’s human form was quite appealing to ordinary women.
But that is providing he doesn’t speak.
Like now, sensing some women covertly watching him, Huyue’s expression immediately became conceited; then he turned his head and said with a cheeky smile.
"Hey miss, are you checking the guidelines?"
This mischievous demeanor instantly broke many women’s hearts.
"Want to have a drink or two with me?" Huyue said excitedly.
"Ahhhh! Pervert!"
In the midst of screams, these women scattered, leaving only Huyue standing there with a puzzled look on his face.
"I’m just suggesting a drink, what’s there to be shy about? Really strange!"
Afterward, Huyue turned his head to call out to the onlookers, "What’s everyone looking at? Never seen a handsome guy?"
"Tch!"
The crowd erupted with a burst of noise and then dispersed too.
Huyue then leisurely walked along the street, turned into an alley, walked a bit further, and stopped.
In front was a small courtyard, its walls dotted with withered grass, looking somewhat desolate.
The wooden door was half open, revealing a glimpse of light inside the courtyard.
Huyue stood at the door for a long time, the playful expression on his face gradually fading, replaced by a warm smile.
As if a wanderer who had been drifting for years finally came home.
Then he took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden door, and walked slowly into the courtyard.
The small courtyard wasn’t large but was cleaned and kept very tidy.
The corners and below the eaves were planted with various flowers and plants, some recognizable, others not.
It was late spring, and many blossoms were in full bloom.
The rich fragrance of the flowers filled the entire small courtyard.
Huyue paused, standing in the middle of the courtyard, the softness in his eyes growing even stronger.
Meanwhile.
A gentle female voice came from inside the house.
"Are you looking for flowers, sir? If so, take whichever you like!"
Huyue didn’t respond, but his entire body trembled upon hearing the feminine voice.
After a moment of silent contemplation.
The female voice, slightly trembling, said: "Is it you?"
Huyue felt his throat tightening, then gently nodded, "It’s me!"
With a clatter, the sound of porcelain breaking came from within the house.
Huyue’s eyes moved slightly, wanting to step forward but ultimately held back.
More restful noises came from inside, accompanied by a female voice speaking in a near sobbing tone: "Wait, don’t come in yet!"
Huyue chuckled silently, then opted to stand in the yard and wait.
A moment later, the soft curtain of the room was lifted, and a woman stepped out.
The woman supported herself against the door frame and gingerly stood beneath the eaves.
Only then could her appearance be clearly seen.
This was a woman of gentle and graceful demeanor, wearing a simple and elegant long dress, with freshly applied makeup giving a very pleasant impression.
But below her beautiful brows was a pair of gray eyes.
At this moment, those unseeing eyes stared straight ahead, and then she softly spoke: "Little fox, is it truly you?"
Little fox...
If outsiders were to hear this title, they would hardly know how to react.
Dignified Immortal King, among the top young talents of the Demon Realm, heir to the throne of Qingqiu Fox Country.
Such a figure was actually addressed as "little fox."
More importantly, Huyue actually responded.
