Chapter 89

The warmth in his arms and her calling his name slowly melted Xuanyuan Mo’s frozen heart. He loosened the Murdering Heaven Sword in his hand, clutched Duanmu Xi into his arms tightly and buried his face against her shoulders.

Duanmu Xi’s heart suddenly thumped due to the warmth on her shoulders. Instantly, her dark purple eyes were filled with tears. Yet, she widened her eyes, raised her head and took a deep breath to keep the tears from rolling down.

What on earth did Snow see in the illusion to make a tough man like him shed tears like that? She stroked his back again and again as if to soothe his trauma.

Moments later, Xuanyuan Mo finally calmed down. When he raised his head, his eyes were not filled with tears anymore. He looked normal as usual as if what happened just now were Duanmu Xi’s imagination.

“Congratulations. You’ve got out of the Illusion of Peach Woods.” The silver-haired man appeared in front of them and then gave a cyan bead to Xuanyuan Mo, “This is the Wind Stopping Bead.”

After having a meaningful look at the silver-haired man, Xuanyuan Mo took the Wind Stopping Bead and went to the valley in the east with Duanmu Xi.

Due to the Wind Stopping Bead, the wind in the valley was still violent but it didn’t affect Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi at all.

This time, they found the wind spiritual fruit easily. The milk-white fruit emitted a faint cyan halo, which looked quite similar to the other spiritual fruits she had ever seen except that the color of the halo was different.

Xuanyuan Mo picked the wind spiritual fruit gently and passed it to Duanmu Xi, “Xi, eat it.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and took the wind spiritual fruit. The moment it got into her mouth, she felt a rush of violent wind spiritual power running helter-skelter in her body. She immediately focused her original wind spiritual power to suppress it but to her astonishment, her wind spiritual power not only failed to suppress the violent wind spiritual power but also got assimilated by the latter. The violent wind spiritual power kept expanding and running wildly within her body.

Seeing that, Xuanyuan Mo pressed his palms against Duanmu Xi’s back at once.

Duanmu Xi felt a rush of stronger wind spiritual power going into her body nonstop and thus, the violent wind spiritual power was gradually stabilized.

Snow was a wind spiritual master too but he only wanted to find the wind spiritual fruit for her. Never did he think for himself. Since they met for the first time, Snow had seemed to be sacrificing for her all the time. For her sake, he dispatched troops to attack the Xuanwu Empire to rescue her parents, became the elder of Shengjin Academy, came to the trial in the Spiritual Beast Forest, jumped off the deep cliff and took her to the Wind Valley for the wind spiritual fruit.

Duanmu Xi suddenly turned around, put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck, stood on tiptoe, pressed her lips on his and then pushed her tongue into his mouth.

Xuanyuan Mo was totally at a loss. Staring dully at the seductive purple eyes of Duanmu Xi, he gave no response. He didn’t realize Duanmu Xi’s intent until he felt a rush of violent wind spiritual power getting into his body. He wanted to push her away but she clutched him tightly and he also couldn’t bear to hurt her.

A few seconds later, Duanmu Xi finally finished the kiss and in the end, she also licked his thin lips as if not getting enough.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes immediately became profound and dark. He pressed his lips against hers and put his tongue into her mouth to tangle with hers.

After being dazed for a while, Duanmu Xi also closed her eyes slowly and responded to Xuanyuan Mo’s kiss passionately.

Feeling her response, Xuanyuan Mo only felt that his belly tensed as if strong electricity went through. He subconsciously moved his hands across her body.

A groan escaped Duanmu Xi’s lips, which brought Xuanyuan Mo to his senses. He ended the hot kiss slowly and held tightly the feeble girl whose eyes were moist.

“Why did you give half of the wind spiritual fruit to me?” His voice became husky and sexy after he was turned on.

Duanmu Xi nestled against Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, her beautiful face still blushing scarlet. Feeling the violent wind spiritual power in Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi cracked a smile.

“Isn’t this nice? I have you in me and you have me in you.” Duanmu Xi’s voice still contained a lingering sensation.

Xuanyuan Mo’s heart suddenly clenched. He held Duanmu Xi even more tightly and then said in a low voice, “Yes.”

In the imperial palace of the king of the Immortal Cranes.

“Father, the wind of the Wind Valley has been stopped for quite a while. Why don’t they come to return the Wind Stopping Bead? Do they want to occupy our Wind Stopping Bead?” The silver-haired boy looked at the silver-haired man fretfully.

The silver-haired man sat on the throne as if nothing had happened, reading something casually. Hearing the boy’s question, he only answered in an indifferent voice without even raising his head, “No, they won’t.”

“But…” The boy wanted to say something but he was interrupted by a cold voice.

“Here is your Wind Stopping Bead.” A faint cyan bead flew across before the boy and fell into the silver-haired man’s arms.

“And thank you for your wind spiritual fruit.” Only a cold voice was heard. Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi didn’t show up.

The silver-haired man and the boy walked out of the palace and saw the couple in white walking to the entrance.

“Father, are they going back?” Suddenly, the boy didn’t want them to leave. He had been a few hundred years old. And this was the first time that he had seen human beings.

“Yeah.” The silver-haired man was also gazing at the couple in white going further and further.

“Will they come again?” Staring at the couple disappear before them, the boy turned around and asked again.

“Supposedly not.” The silver black eyes of the silver-haired man became dark. Human life was short. Maybe it would be their descendants who would come here again.

Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi got out of the Wind Valley together and returned to the valley where Duanmu Xi healed her injuries. No sooner had they arrived down the cliff than they saw Situ Kong and Nalan Xi.

“Chief Master, Second Master.” Upon seeing them, Duanmu Xi loosened Xuanyuan Mo’s hands and ran merrily towards Situ Kong and Nalan Xi.

“Xi.” Situ Kong and Nalan Xi were surprised. As Duanmu Xi looked so healthy, both of them were happy and relieved. Luckily, their precious disciple was fine.

Xuanyuan Mo also walked faster.

“Xi, how are you feeling? Are you hurt?” Although she looked fine, Nalan Xi still couldn’t refrain from asking.

Situ Kong put his fingers on Duanmu Xi’s wrist to check her body condition without saying anything. Yet, his eyebrows furrowed more and more heavily.

Nalan Xi saw Situ Kong’s reaction and started to have a sense of foreboding. Then, he grabbed the other wrist of Duanmu Xi and wanted to check her condition on his own.

“Chief Master, Second Master, I’m really fine. My internal injuries and external injuries are all recovered.” While talking, Duanmu Xi also twisted her wrists gently and relieved her hands from them.

Situ Kong knitted his eyebrows, his black eyes full of agony and anger. Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo, he struck a punch at Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face.

Punched by him off guard, Xuanyuan Mo staggered.

“Snow!” Duanmu Xi screamed in shock.

“This is how you protect her?” Situ Kong glared at Xuanyuan Mo in fury. He looked as if feeling like eating Xuanyuan Mo alive. “Damn it. How can Xuanyuan Mo watch Xi’s mysterious Qi ruined?” He thought.

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes became dim when he heard that.

“I’m sorry,” he lowered his head and said without an explanation.

Snow… Duanmu Xi’s eyes were slightly moist with tears. A proud man like him was apologizing to Chief Master like this.

Rage welled up in Situ Kong’s eyes again. He swung his fist at Xuanyuan Mo again.

“No.” Duanmu Xi yelled nervously and couldn’t help standing before Xuanyuan Mo.

Nalan Xi saw that and hastened to stop Situ Kong.

Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi pitifully and shouted, “Your mysterious Qi has been ruined and he couldn’t stop it. Why are you still defending him?”

Nalan Xi was astounded. Xi’s mysterious Qi…

“It was not his fault. I fell into those people’s trap on my own. I shouldn’t have been that careless.” If it were not because she thought opinionatedly that none of them could defeat her and still chased after that figure even though she knew it was not Snow, she wouldn’t have fallen into their trap and got penetrated into her gate of Qi.

“Xi…” Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo felt even more self-condemned.

Nalan Xi recovered from the shock and rushed to Duanmu Xi to take her pulse. Likewise, his eyebrows furrowed increasingly heavily.

Moments later, Nalan Xi slowly let go of Duanmu Xi’s hand and looked at Situ Kong, “Old chap, can Xi’s mysterious Qi be recovered?”

Xuanyuan Mo heard that and also looked up at Situ Kong, hoping to get the answer of yes. To his disappointment, the answer was not as he expected.

Situ Kong heaved a sigh and shook his head, saying, “No.” It was because her mysterious Qi couldn’t be recovered that he felt so furious.

Xuanyuan Mo’s heart sank bit by bit. He looked at Situ Kong and asked again, “Is there really nothing we can do about it?”

Situ Kong glanced over Xuanyuan Mo and then fixed his eyes on Duanmu Xi, “Xi’s gate of Qi has been sealed. Her mysterious Qi is still there but it cannot be used. Neither can she cultivate. It is pretty much the same as her mysterious Qi being ruined. If she wants to recover her mysterious Qi, there is no other way than to break through the seal.”

Nalan Xi asked with a frown, “Even if we three work together, the seal still cannot be broken through?”

Situ Kong waved and then said, “If an external force could work, why would I be so flustered? The external force won’t be able to break through the seal. Worse still, it will aggravate the situation. Only by herself can she break through the seal. However, she doesn’t have enough power to make it now.”

Hearing that, the others all stayed silent. For the moment, the atmosphere was a bit suffocating.

Duanmu Xi felt a bit disappointed as well but she didn’t want the others to be unhappy for her so she comforted them, “Don’t be so upset. When I gain enough power, I will be able to break through the seal. By then, my mysterious Qi will be recovered.”

Seeing that they didn’t look better because of her comfort, Duanmu Xi immediately changed the topic, “Chief Master, Second Master, why are you in the Spiritual Beast Forest?”

“Your third master wrote a letter to us. Since you are in trouble, how can I and your chief master not come here?” Back then, they were really anxious upon receiving the letter and felt like teleporting themselves here right away.

“Third Master? Oh right, let’s go up there as soon as possible! Third Master must be worried about us since she hasn’t heard from us for so many days.”

Nalan Xi and Situ Kong nodded. They could understand the anxiety most.

The four of them turned around to look at the endless cliff simultaneously.

After pondering for a while with a frown, Duanmu Xi proposed, “Let me summon Hongling!” Having thought back and forth, she figured that only Hongling could hold so many people and fly up there.

“We had better take my Brontosaurus! Hongling is too eye-catching.” Even though there were not many people in the Spiritual Beast Forest, they must stay alert.

Duanmu Xi nodded. Hongling was too eye-catching indeed.

The four of them sat on the purple dragon of Nalan Xi. The dragon flew upward and within an instant, they arrived on the cliff.

Looking at the blue sky, Duanmu Xi felt like surviving a disaster. It was so good to stay alive
