Chapter 476 Drunk Chu Wanqing

Such a sudden sound instantly interrupted the conversation between Xiao Ling and Xun'er, and their eyes turned to the source of the sound at the same time.

As the void rippled slightly, an old man appeared in their sight. He was wearing a simple gray robe, and his white hair was like new snow, casually tied behind his head.

His face was thin, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss, which seemed to contain infinite wisdom and the precipitation of years.

The old man's posture was upright, like an ancient pine tree that stood proudly all year round. Although he was old, he did not show any signs of old age.

Every movement of his revealed a temperament of transcendence. The slightly raised chin inadvertently revealed a touch of pride and majesty, which made people feel awe involuntarily.

Seeing the appearance of this old man, Xiao Ling instinctively released his soul perception, trying to explore the depth of the other party.

He quickly sensed that the old man contained a fighting spirit as vast as the abyss and the sea, and its majestic degree was shocking.

With just a little perception, Xiao Ling was able to infer the old man's general cultivation realm.

This person is undoubtedly a semi-saint level strongman, and among the semi-saints, he is also a person of outstanding strength. His strength is not much less than Chu Wanqing, who has not yet recovered from her injuries in Xiao Ling's memory.

If nothing unexpected happens, this old man should be a high-level semi-saint level existence. In the ancient clan, his status is second only to those ancient clan elders at the Dousheng level.

"It turns out to be Elder Tongxuan."

As soon as Xun'er recognized the old man's face, she immediately recognized his identity and greeted him softly, with a casual tone.

"Hello, senior."

Xiao Ling had already gently clasped his fists to the old man, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.

"Miss." Elder Tongxuan first nodded to Xun'er lightly, which was his polite greeting.

Then, his sight slowly moved to Xiao Ling standing beside him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint and kind smile: "You young man, I have heard about your deeds many times in the clan. Today, I finally got my wish and was able to see your style with my own eyes."

"Just in terms of appearance, you are indeed a young man with outstanding temperament. Even when I was in my prime, I was inevitably inferior to you. Moreover, your cultivation is also remarkable. You can reach the realm of five-star Dou Zun at such a young age. In my clan, I am afraid that only the young lady can have a slight advantage at the same age."

"Moreover, I heard that you have refined a ninth-grade elixir and won the championship in this alchemy meeting. This achievement can indeed be called a young and promising..."

As Elder Tongxuan spoke, he made a sound of admiration. His eyes swept up and down Xiao Ling, as if he wanted to penetrate that layer of appearance and deeply explore the inner foundation of this young man.

"Haha, senior, you are too kind." Xiao Ling smiled lightly, revealing an unintentional humility in his words, "If it weren't for my own unremitting efforts, how could I dare to say that I am worthy of Xun'er?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ling's mouth corners rose slightly, and his eyes flashed with confidence, but at the same time, he was gentle.

He turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Xun'er beside him, and his eyes were full of deep affection and endless attachment.

When Xun'er heard Xiao Ling's words, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Her eyes flashed with happiness, and the joy was as bright as the stars, illuminating her entire world.

Witnessing the tenderness between the young man and woman, Elder Tongxuan couldn't help but laugh softly, and his heart was full of emotion.

The emotional exchanges of these young generations are so pure and beautiful, as if they can purify people's hearts, and people can't help but recall the long-gone youth years.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, but then a trace of regret came. After all, he has passed the age full of passion and dreams. The romance and impulse of his youth can only become a warm memory deep in his heart.

"Since you, a young man, have such a profound awareness, please work harder in the future. I have high hopes for you,"

Elder Tongxuan smiled and shook his head gently, his tone revealed a kind of gentleness and expectation,

"I look forward to that day, looking forward to the moment when you grow up enough to protect the young lady. By then, we can be considered a family."

Faced with Elder Tongxuan's exhortation, Xiao Ling just nodded gently without saying much. He had already confessed his promise to Xun'er, and there was no need to mention it again.

As for the expectations of the elders in Xun'er's clan, Xiao Ling knew in his heart that he would respond with actual efforts and achievements, rather than just empty promises on the lips.

In his opinion, actions are the most powerful proof, and verbal promises often appear weak and pale in front of the glory of actions.

Elder Tongxuan saw Xiao Ling's determination and silence, and nodded with approval while smiling.

Then, he slowly turned his eyes to Xun'er, revealing a gentle concern in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Miss, it's time to return to the clan."

Xun'er heard this, although she felt reluctant, her expression remained calm, and she nodded gently. She slowly let go of Xiao Ling's hand and walked lightly to the side of Elder Tongxuan.

At this time, the night had quietly fallen, and the silver moonlight sprinkled like water, covering the place where they were about to part with a layer of soft brilliance.

Xun'er and Xiao Ling looked at each other under the moonlight, and each other's eyes were filled with each other's figures.

Elder Tongxuan waved his hand gently, and ripples appeared in the air, as if he had plucked the strings of a harp in the void.

In a flash, a space door appeared silently behind the two of them, like a mysterious portal to another world.

Elder Tongxuan knew very well that these two young people in love must have many private words to talk about at this moment of separation.

As an old man, it was inconvenient for him to disturb them here, so as not to become the uninvited "light bulb".

So he took a step ahead and stepped into the space channel, leaving Xiao Ling and Xun'er with a final time of communication.

"Xun'er, be careful on the road, and take good care of yourself in the clan." Xiao Ling's voice rose gently, with a hint of reluctance and tenderness. He smiled, his eyes full of concern,

"Don't forget to use the methods I taught you to cultivate the Fire Tribulation Fruit. The Flame Queen in the fruit is on the verge of hatching, and I believe that a new Flame Queen will be born soon. When that day comes, let this little guy replace me and accompany you."

The birth of Flame Queen originated from the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire caused by the ancient Star Language Sky Tree on the Burning Plain, in other words, it was bathed in enough fire attribute energy.

In comparison, the power of the strange fire mastered by Xiao Ling and Xun'er is not inferior to the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire, and even in some aspects, the quality and quantity they show even surpass the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire.

Xiao Ling had tried to use the strange fire in his body to nourish the Fire Tribulation Fruit before, and practice has proved that this method is indeed effective. The only drawback may be that this process is more time-consuming.

Since Xiao Ling's strange fire is capable of this task, then the powerful Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in Xun'er's body naturally has the same ability. This speculation is reasonable and there is no doubt about it.

Moreover, the ancient clan has the complete Golden Earth Burning Sky Flame, which ranks fourth on the Different Fire List. If it is used to nourish this Fire Tribulation Fruit, the hatched Flame Princess may have unexpected effects.

What's more, the ancient clan has the complete Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which ranks fourth on the Different Fire List. Even if Xiao Ling swallowed the Three Thousand Flames later, his quality could not be compared with the complete Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.

If the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame is used to nourish this Fire Tribulation Fruit, it is unpredictable that the hatched Flame Princess may have an effect beyond imagination.

"Brother Xiao Ling, Xun'er understands." Xun'er responded softly, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. The evening breeze gently blew past, lifting a few strands of soft hair on her forehead, swaying gently with the wind.

"I will take good care of myself, Brother Xiao Ling, you should also take care of yourself, don't forget to miss Xun'er occasionally."

"Don't worry, I will." Xiao Ling smiled softly, waved his hand casually, and his tone revealed a bit of ease and freedom, "Okay, go quickly, don't let Elder Tongxuan wait too long."

Xun'er nodded gently and said nothing more.

She walked forward slowly and hugged Xiao Ling tightly again. It was a moment full of emotion, as if to engrave each other's warmth and memories in her heart.

Then, she slowly loosened her arms, turned around and stepped into the space channel.

As Xun'er stepped into the space channel step by step, her figure seemed to be swallowed by the night, gradually becoming blurred, until it was completely integrated into the halo.

The space door also began to slowly dissipate, as if it had never existed.

"Brother Xiao Ling, the next time we meet, it will be Xun'er's coming-of-age ceremony, you must not be absent..." Xun'er's voice floated gently from the space door that was about to close, like a wisp of reluctant breeze, drilling into Xiao Ling's ears. "Xun'er will wait for you, looking forward to your shining on that day..."

Xiao Ling smiled indifferently, his eyes still staring at the place where the space passage that had completely disappeared was located, as if in that void, he could still clearly outline Xun'er's outline. He whispered in a low voice, his tone full of confidence and determination,

"Don't worry, Xun'er, I don't care about those competitors in your clan. When that time comes, I will definitely defeat them one by one and suppress them all."

"Tsk tsk, suppress them all, what a big tone." Suddenly, in the void on the side, a woman's chuckle gently drifted away, the sound was ethereal and pleasant, like the gurgling of a clear spring in the deep mountains, slowly entering Xiao Ling's ears.

"You are so arrogant that you dare to say that you will defeat your peers from the ancient races one by one. Your courage is even more amazing. You can even have a relationship with a woman from the ancient race."

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @shu/bar!

"Looking at this situation, the little girl must have a very important status in the tribe. Even the half-saint-level strong man respectfully calls her Miss. I'm really curious about how you got such good luck to be involved with such a person."

Xiao Ling's eyes quickly moved to the source of the voice, and saw a slight fluctuation in the void, like small ripples on the water surface blown by the wind.

Then, a graceful figure in a white dress slowly walked out of the fluctuation. She stood on the roof of a nearby house, with an elegant posture, staring at him with a smile.

In this quiet night, her appearance was like a fairy under the moonlight, mysterious and charming.

The woman who can hide her figure so quietly, even under the eyes of Elder Tongxuan, whose strength has reached the advanced semi-saint realm, and who can make these remarks leisurely and contentedly, in this Shengdan City, except for Chu Wanqing, naturally there is no one else.

"Haha, I don't dare bother you, a master, with this trivial matter of mine." Xiao Ling chuckled softly, with a hint of nonchalance in his tone.

Xiao Ling was not surprised by Chu Wanqing's understanding of ancient races. Although the ancient races have always maintained a mysterious and secretive lifestyle, they rarely appear on the mainland, making their existence almost a legend and little known.

However, in Zhongzhou, once one has the corresponding status and strength, it is no longer a rare thing to be able to learn about some ancient races.

As Chu Wanqing is the supreme elder of Yin Valley and a powerful person in the Holy Realm, there is no doubt that she knows something about these secrets.

Xiao Ling's voice paused slightly, then there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, and he changed the subject slightly, "However, you are still here quietly observing late at night, which makes me a little surprised. Could it be that you are interested in me?" Are you so curious about every move that you make that you develop the habit of peeping in the dead of night?”

"What nonsense are you talking about here? I'm not the kind of person who would pry into other people's privacy at will." Faced with Xiao Ling's teasing, Chu Wanqing responded immediately, with unquestionable determination in her tone.

"You must be careful with your words and don't slander other people's reputation easily. Otherwise, I will not show mercy."

As a strong fighting saint, how could she do something so disrespectful as peeping at someone at will?

Previously, it was just by chance that she sensed the semi-saint-level aura fluctuations here. In addition, she noticed that Xiao Ling was here before, so she decided to come over to find out and make sure that nothing unexpected happened.

As for the previous conversations, she only accidentally heard some snippets. It was purely an accident and she definitely did not eavesdrop on it intentionally.

Even if she had made a breakthrough and reached the realm of Fighting Saints with those ancient races, she would not dare to touch them easily.

She always kept a respectful distance from things related to ancient races, so as not to get involved in unnecessary trouble for no reason.

Seeing Chu Wanqing's serious face, Xiao Ling smiled softly and put away his previous joking.

He turned his head and looked through the night, landing on the bright moon in the sky.

The evening breeze blew by, and the moonlight was like water, falling on the quiet land, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, as if he was infected by the night, looked at Chu Wanqing with burning eyes, and said leisurely: "The time is just right tonight, the bright moon is high, and the sky is clear. Why don't you and I take advantage of this beautiful scenery to drink wine together? Isn’t it beautiful to watch the moonlight?”

Chu Wanqing stared at Xiao Ling's expectant eyes, and she naturally understood his intention.

Although she doesn't quite understand the emotional entanglements of romance, she is not unsophisticated.

At that moment, her instinct told her to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she paused unexpectedly.

Under the moonlight, a subtle change flashed across Chu Wanqing's face. The corners of her lips raised slightly, as if she was touched by the night and Xiao Ling's proposal. Subconsciously, she responded softly: "Okay, then I will reluctantly accompany you..."

Although her voice was low, it revealed a hint of tenderness that even she herself was unaware of.

Seeing Chu Wanqing's response, Xiao Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a gentle smile. He slowly walked to Chu Wanqing's side and gently held her slender and soft jade hand.

Chu Wanqing felt the warmth in Xiao Ling's palm, and she exerted a slight symbolic force, as if she wanted to get rid of this sudden closeness, but her struggle seemed a little weak, and she was unable to break free after all. After a moment, she gave up resistance and let Xiao Ling hold her hand.

Xiao Ling didn't hesitate much. Holding Chu Wanqing's catkin in hand, they came to the most prosperous tavern in Shengdan City.

He booked the most luxurious private room on the top floor without hesitation, and then led Chu Wanqing into the softly lit and beautifully decorated room.

Of course, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, Xiao Ling cleverly used some small means to conceal her true appearance.

After all, just today during the day, he had just won the title of champion at the Dan Conference. In Shengdan City, almost anyone can quickly recognize his face.

If this causes unnecessary commotion, the tranquility and elegance tonight may be broken. On this night, what he wanted to enjoy more was the quiet time with Chu Wanqing.

Pushing open the door, Xiao Ling led Chu Wanqing into the private room of the tavern. The house was already filled with all kinds of fine wines, and the wine was fragrant, so there was no need for them to prepare it themselves.

The light in the box was soft, reflecting the faint smiles on the faces of the two people, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

Xiao Ling first filled two glasses of wine and handed one to Chu Wanqing.

They raised glasses to invite each other, but none of them used their fighting spirit to dissipate the alcohol in their bodies. Instead, they allowed the mellow wine to spread on their tongues, with a mellow taste and endless aftertaste.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little tipsy, with a faint blush on their cheeks and their eyes becoming blurred.

They chatted while drinking, talking about everything from cultivation methods to folk rumors.

Xiao Ling's laughter and Chu Wanqing's whispers intertwined, and the atmosphere in the box gradually became ambiguous.

In the haze of alcohol, the two people's eyes met frequently unconsciously, and each time they looked at each other, it seemed that there were thousands of words to say, but no one spoke easily. (End of this chapter)
