As the night encroaches on the land, the soft glow of the white moon shined down onto the world.
At the Ardent Yin Sect, the snow continues to heavily fall without any sign of stopping.
Two figures sat on a rooftop of a certain tower silently enjoying this view.
Naturally, they were Ji Xian and Xia Lihua.
Xia Lihua rested her head on Ji Xians shoulder as she watched the sky.
I wonder how the Mortal Haven World is doing right now she asked.
Hanging on her neck, was a necklace with a ring attached to it that wasnt there before. The ring and the necklace were made from an ordinary silver-gold tal from the mortal world and looked completely unremarkable but with Xia Lihua wearing it, it visually looks better than it has any right to be.
Usually, jewelry is ant to highlight the wearers appearance but in this case, it was the opposite scenario instead.
Inscribed on the outside of the ring was one word, Xian.
The sa Xian for immortal and the sa Xian for Ji Xian.
They were strolling around the sect market and had co across it by accident. In the end, Ji Xian bought it and inscribed his na onto it before gifting it to Xia Lihua. She didnt care about how ordinary it looked and happily wore it.
It should be fine. Ji Xian casually replied as he looked down at the Ardent Yin Sect.
A black streak can be seen from ti to ti dashing all over the sect. Upon closer look, it was Xiao Yueyin! She was looking for Ji Xian and Xia Lihua, unfortunately, since the couple wasnt exuding any aura, she couldnt find them.
Ji Xian smiled upon seeing this. He had already removed the veil and also slicked back his long hair as it was starting to annoy him.
He ignored Xiao Yueyin and continued, It took eleven years after the Celestial race descended before the Nether race appeared, we have plenty of ti.
Xia Lihua also didnt call out to Xiao Yueyin, instead, she sighed, Yes but that doesnt an much. For all we know, they might co again in a month.
She cant help but recall what Di Xiang of the Nether race once said. The Upper World is paying attention to the Mortal Haven World. With so much attention on them, she cant help but feel a little uneasy.
Its not as easy as youd think for them to descend. Ji Xian shook his head.
""
Xia Lihua looked at him seriously, What exactly is it that they want?
The people of Mortal Haven have been fighting against the forces of the Upper World for so long, yet, they still dont understand what their goal was. But she was certain that Ji Xian knows sothing. He had confird it himself when he fought against the Nether race.
Ji Xian calmly brushes Xia Lihuas silky hair, The reason isnt as profound as youd think. At the end of the day, what they all want is resource, a very specific type of resource.
And you have already seen it before.
Xia Lihua looked confused, I have?
Ji Xian nodded, Yes. Have you ever visited the World WIll of Mortal Haven?
That it exists? Xia Lihua seriously contemplated, Ive only heard stories about it, but it has never been confird because no one has ever seen it.
It exists. In fact, its located at the core of Mortal Haven.
The core? Xia Lihua questioned, So its deep inside the earth?
Ji Xians eyes subtly flickered when he heard her use the word earth, but he understood she ant dirt.
No, its not there but sowhere else. He chuckled, When we return ho, Ill show you.
Xia Lihua nodded with a thoughtful expression. She closed her eyes and laid her head back on Ji Xians shoulders. She was mulling over what she had just learned.
They quietly enjoyed each others company for a bit longer before Ji Xian released a bit of his aura. The black streak suddenly stopped and headed toward him.
A figure appeared in front of Ji Xian and Xia Lihua a mont later.
So this is where youve been hiding! Xiao Yueyin unhappily said.
She stared at Ji Xians handso face for a mont before using all her might to look away. Her eyes moved to Xia Lihua who looked like she was peacefully sleeping and a hint of jealousy welled up in her heart.
Senior Fang Yu is beginning to show signs of waking up. So of the Elders of the Sect and even the Second Yin Pavilion Master have arrived to watch over her. Sect Master Shao would like you to go to the Core Yin Pavilion to et them.
Ji Xian shook his head, Thats unnecessary, rather, where is Guo Xinyi? I have ti now so I can set up that formation for her.
Hearing this, Xiao Yueyin smiled, Ill call for her.
She took out a small wooden tablet. Just when she was about to channel her True Essence, Xiao Yueyin suddenly spotted the silver necklace on Xia Lihua. There was a ring on it and she easily saw the engraved Xian.
She looked at it absentmindedly.
Hey, hurry it up! I dont have all day.
Ji Xians voice knocked her out of her daze.
Hmph! Xiao Yueyin softly snorted.
Then she channeled her Essence into the tablet.
A while later she put the wooden tablet away.
Shes coming. Xiao Yueyin said coldly.
Ji Xian nodded. He pulled out a black veil and tied it on his face before slightly ssing up his hair to have it hang over his eyes. He noticed Xiao Yueyins unhappy tone but didnt think too much about it.
Stupid veil what a pain. He grumbled.
At this mont, Xia Lihua opened her eyes.
She giggled, Werent you the one who wanted to wear it in the first place.
When they first ca to this world, Ji Xian was the one who insisted on wearing a mask.
Theres a difference between wanting to wear it versus being forced to wear it. Ji Xian replied.
Xia Lihua smacked her lips, Tch, as if anyone can force you to do anything.
Xiao Yueyin quietly listened and didnt say anything. Occasionally, she would look at the necklace on Xia Lihua.
A couple of minutes later, Guo Xinyi arrived.
Seni ah, Ji Xian and Senior Xia Lihua. She spoke nervously.
Xia Lihua smiled. Guo Xinyi used formalities when speaking to her but she didnt mind. She wasnt hung up on it as Ji Xian was.
Youre here. Ji Xian nodded, Well need a quiet place to do this.
Ye yes. We can go to the Third Yin Pavilion. That is my private residence.
Then lets go.
Guo Xinyi hurriedly nodded before leading the way. Xia Lihua also followed her.
Ji Xian took a step forward before pausing. He looked at Xiao Yueyin.
I almost forgot. Here, this is yours.
He threw sothing at her and she caught it confusedly.
Whats this? Xiao Yueyin looked at the item in her hand and her eyes widened.
It was a necklace!
It was almost identical to the one Xia Lihua had but this one was black.
Xiao Yueyin looked at the ring that was attached to it. Engraved on the outside was the word, Ji.
It ca as a set, one for you and one for Lihua. Ji Xian explained.
Xiao Yueyin blankly stared at it for a while before she complained, This is pretty ugly. Are you always so cheap when gifting people?
Ji Xian smiled and held out his hand with his palms up, Then give it back.
Hmph! Since you put so much thought into it, then this Saintess will give you so face and wear it.
Xiao Yueyin quickly put on the necklace.
Ji Xian shook his head before flying away.
Seeing his fading figure, Xiao Yueyin looked down at the ring again and gently rubbed it with her fingers.
Her lips curved into a sweet smile before she let out a beautiful laugh that echoed into the night.
