Chapter 249

In the Sacred Maiden’s Palace of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

Upon seeing the words on the board—Sacred Maiden’s Palace, Mei Luo couldn’t help sighing. It had been 30 years. She finally came back to this place, where she had countless memories.

Staring at the fantastic palace, Duanmu Xi was surprised. What a beautiful palace! She thought that the Sacred Maiden’s Palace was a shiny cage, but she didn’t expect it to be as beautiful as a fairyland.

The elder in white seemed to see through Duanmu Xi’s mind and felt proud, “This used to be the Celestial Palace’s residence. The descendants established the Sacred Maiden’s Palace here in memory of the Celestial Maiden.”

Duanmu Xi nodded. No wonder this place was full of immortal Qi. It turned out to be the place where the legendary Celestial Maiden used to stay. Duanmu Xi looked at the respectful and yearning face of the elder in white, her eyes flickering. Even though a few centuries passed, the people in the Wilderness Holy Region didn’t forget the Celestial Maiden. The Celestial Maiden was like the goddess in the locals’ eyes!

The elder in white took Duanmu Xi and the others to the main hall of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace, “You’ll stay here from now on.”

Duanmu Xi looked around the whole palace and nodded with satisfaction. It was a palace but it was not as magnificent and luxurious as the other palaces. It was extremely quiet and elegant. She liked it.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s satisfied face, the elder in white smiled, “Take good care of your master. You may have someone come to the Huayang Palace if anything comes up.”

Duanmu Xi nodded at the elder in white, “Chief Elder, see you around!”

As the elder in white left, Ya’er got excited, “My… Sacred Maiden, this place is too beautiful. It’s literally like a fairyland.” While talking with excitement, Ya’er looked around. She suddenly thought of something and looked down, “What a pity…”

Staring at Ya’er’s gloomy face, Duanmu Xi arched her brows, “Why?”

Hearing that, Ya’er looked at Duanmu Xi and said, “It’s a pity I can’t draw. If I can, I must draw the scenery here and take it back to my two sisters.”

Duanmu Xi’s eyes flickered. She said with a smile, “No need to bother. If your sister wants to take a look, just take them here.”

Ya’er looked at Duanmu Xi with an excited expression, “Really?” This place was the Sacred Maiden’s Palace, which all the people in the Wilderness Holy Region were yearning for. Even the Region Master’s women were not qualified to come here. The lady, no, the Sacred Maiden allowed her to take her sisters here.

Looking at Ya’er’s excited face, Duanmu Xi arched her brows, “Do I look like lying?”

“Great.” Ya’er jumped up happily, “My… Sacred Maiden, you’re the best mistress in the world.”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, “You may as well still call me My Lady!” Hearing Ya’er call her sacred maiden, Duanmu Xi felt rather uncomfortable.

Hearing that, Ya’er smiled happily and curtsied, “Yes, My Lady.” It’s better and especially amiable to call Duanmu Xi My Lady.

In Green Pine Inn.

Everyone was excited to see Xuanyuan Mo and knelt on the ground, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Situ Kong also wanted to get off the bed with an excited expression, “Mo is back. Where is Xi?”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Situ Kong’s pale face and subconsciously frowned, “What’s wrong with you?” What was wrong with Situ Kong? He was always spirited at other times but why did he look sickly today?

Situ Kong’s eyes flickered. He managed to crack a smile, “I’m fine. I feel great. What can happen to me?”

As Situ Kong’s eyes flickered, Xuanyuan Mo frowned more deeply and looked at Yu Ying aside.

Yu Ying immediately took the hint and walked one step forward to say to Xuanyuan Mo, “Two days ago, Elder Situ entered the Wilderness Holy Region and got backfired by the enchantment. His mental strength has been seriously damaged.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo put on a stern look.

Second Elder aside was also shocked. It was a huge thing that his mental strength was damaged. Compared with physical strength, once the mental strength was impaired, it was hard to recover.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s grim face, Situ Kong hastened to wave his hand, “Not seriously damaged. Yu Ying is talking nonsense. I’m only suffering a few minor injuries. What he said is too exaggerated.” Meanwhile, Situ Kong stepped on Yu Ying’s foot.

“Ah!” Yu Ying held his foot and jumped in pain. Feeling Situ Kong’s threatening eyes, Yu Ying had to brace himself, saying, “Yes, judging from his foot strength, he should be fine.”

The others all lowered their heads and held back smiling.

Staring at the studied calmness on Situ Kong’s face, Xuanyuan Mo frowned, “All of you, get out.”

“Yes.” All the people got out of the room. In the end, only Second Elder, Situ Kong and Xuanyuan Mo were left.

As Second Elder didn’t mean to leave, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Second Elder coldly.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s cold gaze, Second Elder touched his nose with embarrassment, “I stay here to guard you.”

Situ Kong looked at Second Elder in confusion and didn’t understand what he meant.

Xuanyuan Mo arched his brows noncommittally. Without saying anything, he directly dragged Situ Kong onto the bed.

Watching Xuanyuan Mo approach him bit by bit, Situ Kong swallowed, “Well, nothing… I’m not interested in men…”

After saying that, Situ Kong wanted to bite off his tongue. What did he say? Actually, he was not interested in men or women.

Second Elder looked at the two people with shiny eyes and an intrigued look. This old man was so funny. He felt that they could become good friends in the future.

“Well…”

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s sharp eyes, Situ Kong swallowed his words and dared not retreat.

Xuanyuan Mo put his hand on the top of Situ Kong’s head and instantly, a blast of golden light shone through the whole room.

Situ Kong only felt a rush of warmth flowing from the top of his head to his brain. The seriously damaged mental strength was recovering at an extremely fast speed.

Second Elder was surprised to see the golden light. Who on earth was this boy? How could he give off the same golden light he had seen in the sacred realm?

Long Yue, Yu Ying and the others outside the room all looked at each other when they saw the golden light exuding from the room. They felt quite confused. Then, they felt a rush of warmth flowing from the depths of his body to the whole body, making them feel rather comfortable.

Seemingly feeling the magic of the golden light, everyone sat down simultaneously and started to meditate.

Second Elder in the room was the one who could feel the benefit of the golden light besides Situ Kong. He also wanted to sit in meditation to absorb the reiki of the golden light, but he had agreed to guard them before. Had he just said that? It seemed that he didn’t. In the end, Second Elder didn’t resist the temptation of the golden light and then sat down.

Currently, Situ Kong felt wrapped up in the warmth. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to cry.

About 30 minutes later, Xuanyuan Mo slowly withdrew his palm. The golden light also disappeared from the room slowly.

After the golden light disappeared, a few purple lights showed up outside the room. Within 30 minutes, their mysterious power got elevated by two or three levels. Among them, Long Yue, Yu Ying, Yu Feng and Lishang directly became Mysterious Deity with the help of the golden light.

In the room, Situ Kong slowly opened his eyes and looked refreshed. He felt so comfortable being full of sap. Situ Kong turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Mo with an excited expression, “Mo, what kind of treatment is this? It’s too amazing.” Within 30 minutes, not only was his mental strength recovered but also his mysterious Qi and spiritual power were elevated by a level. It was too amazing.

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flickered, “Let’s go if you’re fine now. Xi wants to meet you.” Then, without paying no heed to Situ Kong, Xuanyuan Mo directly got off the bed and walked to the door.

Second Elder looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s back and knitted his brows. Who on earth was this man? The golden light had got him promoted. The 20-year closed-door training only got him promoted by one level. The 30-minute golden light could work as well as the 20-year closed-door training. It was too shocking.

As Xuanyuan Mo left without turning his head, Situ Kong immediately dashed outside, “Wait! Wait! Can you teach me the healing magic?”

Xuanyuan Mo totally ignored Situ Kong and treated him as air.

The others were all relieved to see Situ Kong’s energetic face and felt deep admiration for Xuanyuan Mo.

In the Sacred Maiden’s Palace of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

Duanmu Xi brought water and cleaned the injuries for Mei Luo. Looking at Mei Luo’s rotten ankles, Duanmu Xi couldn’t help shedding tears again.

Duanmu Xi lifted Mei Luo’s foot and wiped the injuries carefully for her, “Third Master, if you feel pain, just tell me. I’ll go easy.” She had been very gentle, but she knew no matter how gently she acted, Third Master would still feel pain.

Mei Luo said with her eyes full of affection, “I don’t feel pain. I’ve caused trouble for you.”

Duanmu Xi hedged and looked at Mei Luo, “That’s nonsense. Don’t overthink it.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo felt sorry for Duanmu Xi, “Xi, you shouldn’t agree to be the sacred maiden for me.” She didn’t want Duanmu Xi to do something she disliked for saving her.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi forced a smile and said, “Third Master, you’ve thought too much. I’m willing to be the sacred maiden.”

Mei Luo stroked Duanmu Xi’s face gently, “I know you well. You never crave power.”

Duanmu Xi clenched Mei Luo’s hand and rubbed her face against Mei Luo’s palm, “Third Master, rest assured. I won’t force myself to do something I dislike. If I feel unhappy, I’ll take you back to the Zhuque Empire. They won’t dare to chase us to the Zhuque Empire.”

Mei Luo smiled, “OK. I’ll go wherever you go in the future.”

Duanmu Xi also curled her lips, “That’s a deal then. By then, even if you don’t go with me, I’ll tie you up and take you away.”
