As he stared at the purely white herb in front of him, which seemed completely untainted from the outside world, Xu Si, who had just come out to do an errand, couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
Although Xu Si did not know the name of the herb, its value, or what it could be used for, as he felt the pure aura of death emerging from it, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
"Is someone really scheming against me?" mumbled Xu Si with doubt filling his face, causing him to become slightly tangled.
As Xu Si had discovered, for some reason, ever since around 300 years or so, his luck, which was already very impressive even before then, had become even more ludicrous.
No matter what Xu Si did, even if he simply stood peacefully within one of his cave abodes, treasures or opportunities always seemed to make their way towards him.
In the past, Xu Si was also a bit lucky, but after finding a few treasures in a row, and after an ancient refining material that he needed to hit him in the head while he was flying through the sky, the Tribulation Realm cultivator couldn't help but become somewhat suspicious, fearing that someone was trying to harm him.
Although Xu Si did not know what negative effects giving him such luck could bring upon himself, he still couldn't help but have some weird thoughts in the back of his mind.
What if someone was using up all of his luck right now, meaning he would be unlucky in the future?
What if someone was trying to overdraw his luck and get it to backlash against Xu Si?
What if someone was taking advantage of his luck and the things happening to Xu Si were only small side effects?
Even though Xu Si did not have any sort of evidence for any of these thoughts of his, they still desperately clung to the back of his mind, never letting go and coming out, always lingering.
If not for the fact that nothing had happened just yet, Xu Si would have been even more paranoid.
A few moments later, after letting out a faint sigh, and just as he was about to pick up the herb and place it into his collection, Xu Si suddenly froze and raised his head, staring into the sky.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
As he stared at the sky, as well as at the bloodied beauty who was currently falling straight at him, Xu Si suddenly felt as though the situation was somewhat familiar to something he had experienced in the past.
Sadly though, Xu Si had no time to think, as the beauty was already about to hit the ground.
Although Xu Si was not the most righteous, in the end, he wasn't someone who would watch someone die without doing anything, causing him to stretch out his hands and catch the falling beauty.
Just as Xu Si was about to place the beauty down, her eyes, which had been closed up until that moment, suddenly opened before staring at him, her face very pale.
At that moment, a single word suddenly rang through Xu Si's mind, which brought out many old, ancient memories out of Xu Si's mind.
'Aphrodisiac...'
Right then and there, Xu Si, who throughout his life, had encountered 14 beauties plagued by Aphrodisiacs, realized why the situation seemed so familiar.
...
Some time ago,
As she stared at the large, now cracked cocoon in the sky, Xia Jingfei's eyes couldn't help but suddenly widen for a few moments, as she felt the overwhelming aura that had just erupted from the cocoon.
"It's just been a few hundred thousand years, I didn't expect it to be her..." mumbled Xia Jingfei as she felt the familiar aura.
Although Xia Jingfei had not had much contact with Xu Yue over the years, she never forgot the aura of anyone she had met.
But although Xia Jingfei was shocked for a few moments, she soon calmed down and regained her senses.
"In the end, it doesn't matter if someone ascends after 200 Thousand years or after 5 Million Years, as long as they can stand above the mortal realm for all eternity, things will be the same in the end..." mumbled Xia Jingfei as she stared at her Dao Fruit.
If Xia Jingfei's estimates were correct, she would be able to reach the peak of the Dao Saint Realm in about 1.1 Million years, giving her another 3.5 million years to prepare to become a True Immortal with confidence.
Although Li Fengfeng might interfere with her cultivation, Xia Jingfei was extremely confident that she could reach the peak of the Dao Saint Realm in 2 million years, even if she was gravely injured multiple times
As such, the demoness soon regained her confidence and simply stared at the figure that had just emerged from the cocoon in the sky.
The moment the True Immortal, who had just ascended not too long ago, turned her attention onto the Three Thousand Regions below her, Xia Jingfei suddenly felt someone glance right at her, causing her to smile and wave her hand, aware that a portion of Xu Yue's attention was placed onto her.
"Hopefully we can meet again in a few million years," mumbled Xia Jingfei, who was sure the figure in the sky had heard her.
Unbothered about the arrogant words of the mortal, the figure in the sky then disappeared, leaving Xia Jingfei simply staring where she once stood.
A moment later, Xia Jingfei shook her head and faintly smiled.
"1.1 Million years, that's far too long, maybe we can meet even sooner than that, who knows..." mumbled Xia Jingfei as she suddenly fell into thought.
Although toying with Li Fengfeng was both fun and helped her cultivation a lot, Xu Yue's power as a True Immortal made Xia Jingfei feel a bit greedy, causing her to immediately go back into seclusion.
