Luo Yu was indeed very curious.
Logically speaking, how could Zhen Fu’er, a person resurrected from an ancient tomb, have interactions with Bai Xiao’e, a modern person? It didn’t make sense.
Zhen Fu’er’s expression turned strange, "This is quite a coincidence."
"When I was resurrected from the ancient tomb, I was flustered and stumbled upon a passage, exiting the ancient tomb. As soon as I ca out of the burial chamber, I saw Xiao’e in the outside world."
Luo Yu was surprised, "Logically, places where tombs are located are desolate mountains and wild ridges, right? How could Bai Xiao’e just happen to be there?"
He looked at Bai Xiao’e and saw confusion written all over her face as well.
Bai Xiao’e began to speak, "Actually, I don’t know what happened either. On the day I t Sister Zhen, my Baize Ancient Spirit suddenly started to act up, even erging on its own, insistently pulling towards a certain place."
"By the ti I arrived at the place where Baize was leading , Sister Zhen miraculously appeared, and that’s how we t."
"To be honest, even today, I have no idea why Baize would act so abnormally. Logically, Ancient Spirits shouldn’t have any consciousness," Bai Xiao’e said with a wry smile. In fact, after all this ti, she was still trying to understand why Baize reacted the way it did, but she never found any clues.
It remained an unsolved mystery.
Luo Yu shook his head.
"There must be a reason for everything; nothing happens without cause."
"Miss Zhen, I wonder if in your ti, have you ever seen a divine beast like Baize?"
Zhen Fu’er shook her head, "I shouldn’t have seen it, I guess. After all, I’ve lost most of my mories. But as far as I know, after the Great Xia demolished mountains and temples during the Qin Dynasty, all Mystical Beasts disappeared and ceased to manifest in the world of humans, so the chances of encountering Baize are very slim."
A multitude of thoughts swirled in Luo Yu’s mind, as the visit from Zhen Fu’er and Bai Xiao’e today brought him too much new information.
Why are there gods beyond the borders while Great Xia has none?
Why does The Venerable Sovereign go to great lengths to cultivate him, and what is his purpose?
Why did the Qi Refiners disappear en masse before, and if there truly was a terrifying disaster, why are Mortals unhard, and why are the gods beyond the borders unscathed?
What is the secret behind Zhen Fu’er’s slumber from ancient tis to the present, and why did Baize exhibit such a special reaction?
The most crucial point is, just how many people like Zhen Fu’er who have slept since ancient tis and been resurrected in modern tis are there?
The Mountain Lord from before must count as one. If he hadn’t been unlucky enough to encounter Luo Yu, that Mountain Lord would have surely brought disaster to many; ordinary people would have had no way to deal with him.
Luo Yu massaged his temples, deciding to set aside these pieces of information for now.
After all, even if you truly know so secrets, they’re useless without the power to deal with them. Quickly growing strong enough to handle anything is fundantal.
If one has the strength to overpower all, what is there to fear from ghosts and goblins?
Luo Yu fell into deep thought, pondering whether he should check out the ancient tomb that Zhen Fu’er had ntioned. Honestly, he couldn’t possibly say he wasn’t curious.
Moreover, according to what Zhen Fu’er had said earlier, even Cao Xiaoxiong, who had stunned the era, had lanted that the Tiger Talisman was a treasure, yet he had been unable to complete it.
Now that he had half of it in his possession, the clues to the other half might be in the ancient tomb. The thought of not exploring it made him restless.
However, the Qi Refiners of that era were much stronger than people today; barging in recklessly could quickly lead to one’s undoing. After all, the very first barrier alone ensured certain death for anyone below First Grade; who knows how terrifying the subsequent barriers might be.
"Tiny Droplets."
A rustling sound ca from beside his ear.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Luo Yu’s eyes widened in shock as he saw Bai Xiao’e getting up from the couch across the room, her small feet clad in black socks pitter-pattering on the floor as she walked over and climbed onto his couch.
She sat next to him, draping her snowy white legs crossed at the ankle over the couch—her short skirt not quite covering the enchanting view, making Luo Yu’s mouth go dry with desire.
Bai Xiao’e’s red lips curved upwards as she said with a smile,
"You are my lifesaver, of course, I have to repay you properly."
Luo Yu couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
Repay?
Why does it feel like your thod of repaynt isn’t quite right?
Could it be you’re lusting for my body?!!
Are you trying to repay or are you looking for benefits for yourself?
"Don’t co any closer, I’m a decent person," Luo Yu said righteously while shifting to the side to maintain distance from Bai Xiao’e.
"???"
Seeing Luo Yu actually dodging her, Bai Xiao’e’s self-esteem took a hit.
"Am I really that unattractive?"
Luo Yu glared, "Talk about the matter at hand, don’t fuss over nonsense."
Bai Xiao’e pouted her lips,
"Sister Zhen and I have nothing, no possessions, nothing to give you to show our gratitude."
"Valuable as I am, it could only be myself."
"Are you valuable?" Luo Yu asked.
Bai Xiao’e placed her hands on her waist, "Of course, I’m valuable; why wouldn’t I be?
"At my age, isn’t it remarkable to be at the later stages of Third Grade? In another two months, I could even reach Second Rank."
"But what does that have to do with ?" Luo Yu said, "Even if you were First Grade, how would that be of any help to ?"
Bai Xiao’e’s mouth hung open, her expression frozen.
She was unable to say a word.
Indeed, with this guy’s monstrous strength, how strong she was wouldn’t be of any use to him at all.
"Not talking about strength, a girl like is surely among the most beautiful at Sichuan Province Martial University, right?" Bai Xiao’e said.
Again Luo Yu said, "Do you think... the God’s Child... would lack won?"
Bai Xiao’e paused.
That seed... true.
This guy, without revealing his true face, had already attracted the attention of countless won. If he were to show his true self...
Bai Xiao’e dared not imagine the wild frenzy of starstruck scenes it would create.
