#2384 - Can protect you

Night fell, the sky was inky black, even the stars were dim, and the moon was hidden by dark clouds.

Jun Wuxie sat on a blue stone by the pool, the bonfire still burning, its flames swaying in the wind.

The Rhine Queen beside him had fallen asleep at some point, her body leaning, unconsciously resting on him, her head pillowed on his shoulder, her breathing even.

Cultivators, especially those who have cultivated to this realm, rarely fall asleep.

Perhaps she was just too tired these days.

Since leaving the Eternal Life Continent, the Rhine Queen's spirit had been in a state of high tension.

This was even more so when they arrived at the Borderlands.

Later, she was hunted down, making her physically and mentally exhausted.

Now, Jun Wuxie had come, and by his side, she was incomparably relaxed, feeling that she didn't have to think about anything, didn't have to worry about anything, she could unload all her psychological burdens and completely relax.

In this state, coupled with the long-term mental exhaustion, she felt a strong sense of fatigue and fell asleep without realizing it.

Jun Wuxie remained still, lest he wake her.

He knew very well what kind of courage it took to venture into the area occupied by darkness.

He knew how tense her spirit had been these days.

She deserved a good sleep.

Nearly a thousand years of cultivation.

The Rhine Queen, except for her youthful travels, had hardly ever left the Elven Divine Kingdom.

In her life, it was only in recent decades that she had begun to come into contact with dark creatures.

In the previous decades, when darkness struck, she was still in the palace of the Elven Divine Kingdom, without close contact with darkness.

It was only in recent years that she truly came into contact with darkness.

These days, she had run to the hinterland occupied by darkness, and was hunted down and besieged by dark powerhouses, stepping into a desperate situation.

For her, the psychological pressure she was bearing should have reached its limit.

Jun Wuxie turned his head to look at the sleeping Rhine Queen, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, as if she was dreaming of something happy.

His gaze shifted from her face to her hands.

Jun Wuxie was slightly stunned.

On the finger pads of her slender and beautiful right hand, there were many bright red cracks.

Residual Dao power remained within the cracks.

Earlier, when he used the Qi of Life to help her heal, he had failed to repair the cracks on her finger pads.

"It seems these are injuries left by drawing the bow."

Jun Wuxie gently picked up her right hand and placed it on his lap, then strands of the Essence of Life overflowed from his palm, drooping down, enveloping her finger pads, and剥离 the remaining Divine Bow Laws inside.

Before long, the Rhine Queen's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She woke up, opened a slit in her eyes, saw Jun Wuxie focused on repairing the cracks on her finger pads for her, then closed her eyes again, continuing to pretend to be asleep.

At this moment, a faint blush appeared on the Rhine Queen's beautiful cheeks.

Her heart was filled with warmth and emotion.

This great man whom she looked up to and admired actually had such a gentle side.

To be treated like this by him, an unspeakable emotion uncontrollably grew in her heart.

As soon as this emotion grew, it became as fierce as a tide, making her unable to restrain herself, feeling that her heart was酥了 and melted.

Her heart began to beat rapidly, uncontrollably.

She felt shy and flustered.

How did she fall asleep, how could she lean on Jun Wuxie's body?

These things didn't seem so important anymore.

What was important was that Jun Wuxie was not angry because of this, but gently repaired the wounds on her finger pads for her.

"Jun Wuxie is probably the perfect male god in the hearts of the world's women.

No, the perfect male god imagined by the world's women is not even one ten-thousandth of Jun Wuxie, how can he be compared with such a great man as Jun Wuxie…"

She pondered silently in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more she felt her heart melting, the more she thought about it, the more her heart trembled.

To the extent that a strong impulse suddenly arose in her heart, wanting to burrow into his arms, to feel his broad and strong chest, to feel his powerful heartbeat, and couldn't help but imagine the warmth and security of being wrapped in his embrace.

Her face began to burn, the temperature of her body was gradually rising, her heartbeat was even faster than before, and her face was even redder.

Jun Wuxie, who was originally focused on repairing the wounds on her finger pads, also noticed her changes, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This Rhine Queen's heartbeat was so fast, and even the skin on her hands had become scalding hot.

And her deliberately controlled but still somewhat disordered breathing, all proved that she was already awake.

"Awake?"

The Rhine Queen's eyelashes trembled, and she gave a low "hmm", feeling even more flustered.

What to do?

Jun Wuxie had discovered that she was pretending to be asleep.

Did he also notice that her heartbeat was fast and her whole body was scalding hot?

So embarrassing…

The Rhine Queen thought a lot in her mind, but didn't dare to open her eyes.

"If you're awake, lie down and get a good night's sleep.

These days, your spirit has been too tired."

Jun Wuxie put her body down and laid her flat with her head pillowed on his lap.

The Rhine Queen's eyelashes trembled slightly, her delicate face already as red as an apple, her heart was warm and shy, and she felt very sweet, but she didn't dare to open her eyes.

"So, the Queen of the Elven God Race can also be shy."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this Rhine Queen was even shyer than Chu Yudie, this appearance was quite cute, like a little girl.

He didn't tease her, but continued to repair her finger pads.

After the finger pads were repaired, she put down her hand and said softly: "Don't think too much. Sleep, rest well, and tomorrow we will go to the Tianjiao Gathering in Tianshuang Ancient City."

The Rhine Queen didn't say a word, just adjusted her posture, turned sideways, her face facing Jun Wuxie's lower abdomen, her nose almost touching the clothes on his lower abdomen.

At first, her heart beat fast, she was nervous, flustered, and shy.

But smelling his breath, her heart slowly calmed down, and she unknowingly entered a dream again.

While asleep, she subconsciously reached out and hugged his strong waist, completely burying her head in his abdomen, and arching it from time to time.

Jun Wuxie, who was thinking about tomorrow's Tianjiao Gathering and the secret realm, looked down and couldn't help but smile faintly.

With his rich emotional experience, he had already seen it.

When the Rhine Queen woke up and pretended to be asleep, he knew that this woman had fallen in love with him.

Perhaps, back in the Elven Divine Kingdom, after solving the Elves' troubles, she already had a good impression and a faint affection for him.

It was not surprising that someone who looked up to and admired him, who saved the tribe, and saved herself, would develop love for him.

"The Elven God Race's royal bloodline is quite extraordinary, and you are the one with the strongest bloodline talent in the Elven God Race.

In the future, with my help, you will at least reach the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, and it is not impossible to step into the Realm of No Dao.

In the future, when fighting against the Ultimate World, you will be one of the main powerhouses by my side.

Perhaps you will not be able to fight against the Ultimate Transcendence Being side by side with me, but you can fight against the minions under the Ultimate Transcendence Being."

Jun Wuxie stroked the Rhine Queen's golden hair and whispered to himself.

People with amazing bloodlines, as long as they can grow smoothly, will be the capital to fight against the Ultimate World in the future.

He must not let such a bloodline be buried in the Godly Ancient World, he must help it grow.

At the same time, he needs to ensure her absolute loyalty to him, otherwise, if something unexpected happens in the future, not only will he waste resources and energy, but he will also suffer backlash.

He can use the Salvation Scripture to convert some people, but he will not use that method on people like the Elven Queen.

The Salvation Scripture is used to deal with enemies, not to deal with allies and people who admire him.

Just like Chu Moli and Chu Yudie, it would be a good choice to bring Rhine to his side.

…

The next morning, a faint ray of sunlight sprinkled down through the cracks in the dark clouds in the sky, and then through the leaves, sprinkling mottled shadows on the Rhine Queen's face.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing that came into view was the face that made her heart beat faster, looking at her with a faint smile.

The Rhine Queen's world-shaking fairy face suddenly turned red, and she quickly sat up.

Seeing her flustered and helpless appearance, Jun Wuxie smiled and said: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes."

The Rhine Queen bit her red lips lightly, too shy to look him in the eye, and whispered: "Rhine has never slept so peacefully before."

"It's good that you've rested well, let's go."

Jun Wuxie stood up, brushed his clothes, and then said: "Give me your hand."

The Rhine Queen put her plain hand into his large palm, only feeling a mysterious power transmitted into her body.

In an instant, all of her Cave Heaven Star Sea turned ink black, and there was a faint power of darkness on the surface of her body, and the Qi of Darkness in her body was incomparably pure.

Immediately afterwards, she felt that her height, body shape, and appearance had undergone considerable changes.

She was an inch shorter, her figure was thinner, and she was slightly petite than before.

Her appearance had also changed, she was still extremely beautiful, but her facial features were not the same, her head of slightly curly golden hair had completely turned black, her sapphire-like eyes had turned pure black, and even the whites of her eyes had disappeared.

She hurriedly used her divine power to evolve a mirror to reflect her appearance, and after one look, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Jun Wuxie's methods are so magical, he can change like this.

I myself believe that I am from the dark world…

In this way, the dark creatures will definitely not be able to see through the flaws."

While exclaiming, she couldn't help but look at Jun Wuxie, her eyes were a little blurred, and her face was full of love and admiration.

This man seemed omnipotent, and there seemed to be nothing in the world that could stump him.

"It's just some small tricks."

Jun Wuxie himself was also changing, and soon he turned into an unfamiliar face, his Qi of Darkness was purer than the Rhine Queen's.

Subsequently, they soared into the sky, flying shoulder to shoulder, like two black streaks of light cutting through the firmament above the mountains, heading towards Frostfall Ancient City.

… …

Frostfall Ancient City, the largest central city in the Frostfall Continent, is majestic and magnificent, with a long history, having stood for countless years without falling.

This city was once inhabited by tens of billions of creatures from various races.

But now, the entire city appears very desolate.

Under the gloomy sky, the buildings within the city are permeated with the power of darkness, making people feel very oppressed.

In the past, Queen Rhine always felt uncomfortable in the world occupied by darkness, as the energy she cultivated was very repulsive to the power of darkness.

But now, she found that she no longer had that feeling.

How strange.

Lord Divine used profound techniques to disguise his Star Sea as a Dark Star Sea, but it is not actually the power of darkness.

Why do I no longer feel uncomfortable due to the dark aura, and the power within me no longer repels the dark aura?

They entered the city and headed towards a manor within.

That place was originally where the geniuses from all over Frostfall Continent held gatherings and exchanges.

Now it has been occupied by dark creatures, becoming a gathering place for the geniuses of the dark world.

This manor is called Genius Manor.

When Jun Wuxie and Queen Rhine arrived here, they saw several dark creatures guarding the entrance, with bursts of unrestrained laughter coming from inside.

As soon as they approached, they were stopped by the dark creatures at the entrance.

Those dark creatures stood on the steps and looked down, their attitude very arrogant, "This place is where geniuses from all races gather to discuss Dao, what status do you have to dare to break in!"

"We are here to discuss Dao with the geniuses, are you sure you want to stop us?"

Jun Wuxie and Queen Rhine restrained their own dark aura.

These guards could not sense the purity of their dark power.

"What a joke, you dare to call yourselves geniuses?"

The dark creature guarding the gate looked at these two unfamiliar faces, his face full of contempt.

In these days, the geniuses who came here, they had long remembered them by heart, and had never seen these two people.

"Get out quickly, or die!"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the dark creature guarding the gate, his face full of killing intent.

They guarded the gate for the geniuses of all races, who would dare to act wildly here?

Jun Wuxie no longer spoke, and with a casual wave of his hand, he delivered a slap.

The palm condensed from dark ink energy instantly covered the dark creature, and amidst his horrified and angry screams, he was suppressed and killed, his flesh exploded, and his primordial spirit collapsed.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing this, the other dark creatures immediately had two of them rush up.

Jun Wuxie pointed his finger, and black sword energy swept across, beheading the two people, the sword energy penetrated into their heads, strangling their primordial spirits, causing them to let out miserable screams.

The remaining dark creatures guarding the gate trembled in fear and turned around to run into the manor.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie stepped towards the manor.

Queen Rhine recovered from his powerful methods and hurriedly stepped forward, holding his arm and following him into the manor.

They behaved very intimately, disguised as a couple.

The moment they stepped into the manor.

They immediately felt many cold auras locking onto them.

It was from the dark geniuses in the depths of the manor.

Obviously, they already knew what happened at the entrance.

At this time, those dark geniuses were all looking over from a distance.

Even though there were many buildings and obstacles in between, their gazes seemed to be able to penetrate the obstacles, like cold blades approaching.

However, those dark geniuses did not come out, seemingly waiting for them to go in.

"Be calm and composed, everything is up to me, even if there are many legendary realm experts lurking in this manor, I can still protect you unharmed."

Jun Wuxie transmitted his thoughts to Queen Rhine, giving her confidence.

Although he is not currently a match for the Nine Heavens Sacred Immortal powerhouse equivalent to the legendary realm in a head-on battle.

But to retreat completely from them is an easy task.

Unless a Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm powerhouse arrives.

But Grand Luo Golden Immortals basically do not appear here.

There are not many powerhouses of that realm who came from the dark world in the first place.

Now, most of the dark powerhouses in the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm are attacking the Longevity Continent, or are in the main camp.

The probability of appearing here is almost zero.

His divine sense had already investigated the surrounding situation clearly.

There are a total of four Nine Heavens Sacred Immortal realm powerhouses, two in the early stage and two in the middle stage.

As for the dark geniuses in the manor, they are all Yuanshen realm powerhouses equivalent to the Eternal God realm.

The highest realm has reached the peak of the Yuanshen realm, and the lowest is just entering the Yuanshen realm.

A small number of dark geniuses have already stepped into the realm of Eternal Myth.

It must be said that their growth is quite amazing.

However, their divine forbidden domains are achieved through some special means, similar to forced growth.

And these people are just the royal geniuses of the dark world.

From this, one can imagine how amazing the growth of the imperial geniuses of the dark world would be.

Of course, it is not that their aptitude is capable of reaching this realm at this level.

But special methods are used to overdraft growth potential in advance.

Geniuses from other worlds have also used this method before.

Now, the geniuses of the dark world are also using such methods, and there is a possibility that they want to deal with him, so they use this method.

"It seems that the dark world attacking Divine Ancient has a way to connect with a higher level of the dark world.

This is the method of an Emperor realm powerhouse, and it is definitely not something that the creatures of that dark world can do.

In this way, it can be explained how that dark world could have an artifact that allows forces from all realms to find the world passage to Divine Ancient, which is also from the hands of an Emperor realm powerhouse."

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, already passing through several corridors with Queen Rhine, and arriving at the depths of the manor, seeing those geniuses of the dark world.
