“Not...not as good-looking as you?”

Xu Que was taken aback by her answer and at a loss for what kind of reaction he should give her.

He’d never expected the loveliness of Shi Qingxuan.

The point was that she’d actually answered seriously, saying that Lin Yuxi wasn’t as good-looking as she was.

“Goodness, her loveliness had almost drowned his heart.”

“Ha, ha, ha, Qingxuan, I didn’t mean it that way. I was only asking you so I could identify if it was her.” Xu Que couldn’t help laughing and shaking his head as he explained this to Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy was, surprisingly, chilly and didn’t feel that there’d been anything wrong with her answer. She, then, calmly described the appearance of the woman under the lake to Xu Que, including the similarity of her age to Xu Que’s.

Xu Que breathed a sigh of relief after listening. He was almost sure that it was Lin Yuxi.

BOOM!

Almost at the same time, a loud noise came from the bottom of the lake again, and still it made no movement on the ice’s surface. This time, though, everyone saw clearly where the loud noise had come from.

At the center of the hundreds of coffins, the furious white flame erupted like a volcano, surging up and then pouring into the ground.

“It really is Lin Yuxi!”

“I saw her!”

“I saw her too!”

In a flash, the crowd exclaimed constantly in an excited manner.

At the moment when the white flame rose up, everyone had seen Lin Yuxi sitting in the center of the flames.

Xu Que had seen her too, and the corners of his mouth could not help lifting a little with a smile.

It was her luck and fate that had gotten Lin Yuxi this heritage. Because of this, everyone should be happy for her.

“Well, then we don’t have to hustle and go under the water,” Xu Que smiled and looked in the direction of the Xuanyi Celestial Realm.

It was time to leave for the Heaven Continent.

“Master Xu, although Miss Lin has been found, I still have to blame my Litian Academy for her disappearance in the first place. From now on, I will personally sit here until the end of her practicing,” Qin Xiangtian, the dean of the Litian Academy, took the initiative and made this promise to Xu Que.

Hearing his words, the leaders of the other factions also, showing fist and palm salutes one after another, said, “Master Xu, we’re also willing to sit here and protect Miss Lin until the end.”

“Er...thanks to all of you,” Xu Que, after a short hesitation, smiled and nodded.

To be honest, he wasn’t worried about Lin Yuxi’s safety here. After all, the strength of the ice on this lake was no weaker than that of the Mirror Lake. Cultivators from the Earth Continent could undoubtedly break the ice.

However, since Qin Xiangtian and the others had actually offered to wait and guard Lin Yuxi, no good would be gained for Xu Que to refuse them. After all, these people were titular members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and it was necessary, anyway, to give them a chance to serve it.

“Master Xu, leave things here to us, and be at ease. I’m afraid that it’ll take several years for Miss Lin to practice this time. If the Earth Continent returns to the Heaven Continent in the future, I’ll try my best to make sure Miss Lin will enter the Heaven Continent together with us,” General Zeng made this promise to his friend Xu Que, smiling.

With this promise, Xu Que could surely put his heart at ease.

And this was the only thing Xu Que could do for Lin Yuxi at this time.

Since he couldn’t accompany her for a lifetime, at least...he could protect her for a lifetime.

“I’m leaving, everyone, take care of yourselves. I’ll see you again in the Heaven Continent some day.”

Xu Que bid farewell to the crowd and set off for the Xuanyi Celestial Realm with Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, Zixia Fairy, and Liu Jingning.

Although it’d been more than ten years since they’d been back to the Xuanyi Celestial Realm, there hadn’t been much change in this place.

The Equipment Refining Sect was still a big power that could influence the Six Major Celestial Realms, but Mo Junchen had no desire to go back to have a look. According to what he’d said, the past was like a fleeting cloud after he’d joined the Exploding Heavens Faction.

“Good brother, good guardian,” Xu Que patted Junchen on his shoulder with emotion, the strength of which was very strong.

Before long, all of them arrived at Mirror Lake in the eastern part of the Xuanyi Celestial Realm.

This time, it was Xu Que, Buttface, and Mo Junchen who attacked the lake. They had almost no difficulty bombarding Mirror Lake again.

Half an hour later, Mirror Lake was blown open and a gap emerged on the surface, where a mirror-like sky appeared. That was the sky of the Heaven Continent.

“Ha,ha, ha, Heaven Continent, your Mighty King is back,” Buttface whistled excitedly and was the first to jump into the Mirror Lake.

“Oh, so childish, this dog is almost hopeless,” Xu Que shook his head and smiled with a proud face as he walked up to the Mirror Lake.

The next moment, he stretched out his arms and shouted loudly, “What bullsh*t they are: the Sage Sect and their stupid Divine Being of Taoist Fetus! This time, I, the Act-Tough Saint, will kill you, or I won’t be able to live with my name any longer.” When he’d finished, he too jumped into Mirror Lake.

All the people present twitched their mouths.

“Grand master, as you can see, this lad is a typical lizard, has no quality, just a mouthful of dirty words,” Duan Jiude took the opportunity to rat on Xu Que to Zixia Fairy.

However, Zixia Fair completely ignored him and headed for Mirror Lake, jumping into it after Xu Que.

“Oh, woman,” Duan Jiude shook his head, and on his face was an expression of regret at her hopelessness.

In the end, Mo Junchen, Liu Jingning, and the others also stepped into Mirror Lake one after another.

It took them no time at all through this shortcut to get to the Heaven Continent.

After entering the Mirror Lake, the next moment they landed on the Heaven Continent.

However, although Mirror Lake led to the Heaven Continent, it didn’t have a fixed landing point.

The last time they landed on the Heaven Continent from Mirror Lake, it was on the snow and fog mountain in the area of the Ziwei Celestial Realm. After many adventures, they also carried away the Jade Elixir Pool and the Palace of Xuanyuan Wanrong.

This time, the place where they landed was an ancient city, and it happened to be the busy market day when they landed.

“Sh*t!”

“What’s going on?”

“Who are this group of people? Why did they appear so suddenly?”

“God d*mn it, you people stepped on my stall. Pay for my damage; otherwise, you’re not leaving.”

This group of people had suddenly appeared out of thin air, which instantly disturbed many cultivators in the busy market and caused a commotion.

Buttface had just stepped on a booth and trampled many elixirs.

“What just happened?” Buttface looked shocked and obviously didn’t expect this situation.

As soon as he’d landed, he was being watched by thousands of people.

Oh...so shy!

Buttface immediately smiled at the many cultivators in the market. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

CLAP!

Suddenly, a big hand reached over and closed Buttface’s mouth. He thought surely it was Xu Que.

Xu Que glanced at the owner of the booth and took out a piece of top-grade Spirit Stones, “To compensate your Immortal Elixirs, and, by the way, tell me where this is and which Celestial Realm it belongs to?”

The owner of the booth suddenly opened his eyes wide, extremely surprised.

Even if all his elixirs had been sold out, it wouldn’t be worth any more than a small piece of an inferior Spirit Stone. At the moment, seeing Xu Que take out a piece of superior Spirit Stone, he became wild with joy.

“Thank you, fellow cultivator. This is Severe Gale Cty of the Qisha Celestial Realm.” He took the Spirit Stone with a smile on his face and answered.

“Qisha Celestial Realm?”

Xu Que was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn’t help laughing. Unexpectedly, he’d fallen into the territory of the Dark Shadow Pagoda.

“Hey, something’s wrong, look at that dog and that old man,” someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly exclaimed.

Soon the whole audience was exclaiming.

“Sh*t, isn’t that Buttface and Duan Jiude from the Exploding Heavens Faction?”

“My God, it’s really them.”

“They still dare to come here?”

“Where is Xu Que’s father ?”

“You’re stupid, the whole Heaven Continent is shouting, Kill Xu Que, then kill his father, how could his father possibly dare to come?”

“The Sage Sect, the Heaven Palace Academy, and the Divine Farmer Clan have all announced that anyone who can inform them of Xu Que or his father’s whereabouts will be rewarded greatly.”

At this point, all the people were staring at Buttface and Duan Jiude.
