Chapter 639 Soaring Crane Through the Nine Heavens, Free and Unfettered for Eternity
The moment Zhu He drew the innate sword energy from his spine, a heavy, oppressive thundercloud rapidly gathered outside the East Sea Secret Realm, and torrential rain poured down, hanging a fine curtain of rain over the vast East Sea.
Under the protection of the Fusang tree, Xue Tong touched the little soul guide on her shoulder with a heart full of worry:
"Little Soul, do you think something might have happened to your lord?"
"No, no, Your Majesty is the best!"
The fist-sized Soul Guide hugged one of Xue Tong's fingers, sweetly comforting her:
"Sister, don't worry. The Lord was injured not long ago, so he won't do anything too outrageous."
Xue Tong rubbed her temples:
"You're right, she wouldn't do it twice in a row..."
"Alarm...alarm..."
Before Xue Tong could finish her sentence, a cold, mechanical voice rang in her mind:
"A decrease in the host's soul value has been detected, exceeding the safe range."
Xue Tong slowly curled the fingers that were pressing on her brow, finally clenching them into a fist and letting them hang at her side.
The soul silently floated up:
"elder sister?"
Xue Tong did not respond.
The little girl thought Xue Tong hadn't heard her, so she spoke again:
"elder sister?"
This time, Xue Tong reacted.
The young girl, Xiaotong, moved her wrist, and the spirit guide heard a crisp "click" sound.
She silently flew back a short distance, and then she heard Xue Tong's voice, filled with gritted teeth:
"I really believed her nonsense."
Soul Guide: Your Majesty, although I don't know what you've been up to outside, may you find good fortune.
The moment Xue Tong received the alarm, Xue Lan already sensed it...
The Wolf Lord, who had originally intended to return to Fusang's side, paused, then looked somewhat awkwardly at the inner demon beside him, his eyes filled with a hint of expectation.
"What are you doing?" the inner demon asked, then immediately began to calculate, and the doubt in his eyes successfully turned into schadenfreude.
"You should go back first." The woman in white waved her hand at Xue Lan.
"Call me after you've finished getting scolded."
Xue Lan looked at the smile on the man's face and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Couldn't you wait until I left before you started laughing?"
Upon hearing her words, the inner demon laughed even harder, almost rolling on the ground clutching his stomach.
"Since you still know that we are one, you should also know that I have been feeling very frustrated for the past thousand years. Go ahead and make me happy."
Xue Lan: I am speechless.
Lord Wolf King wasn't used to being scolded, and he couldn't compare to the battle-hardened inner demon. He was at a disadvantage for a moment and felt hopeless about his wolf life. So he turned into a streak of black light and flew listlessly towards the base of the Fusang tree.
Halfway there, she heard the inner demon's voice, the sound of laughter fading:
"She was able to use such immense otherworldly power in the Yuanming Realm for you, so don't talk back."
The dark light paused briefly in mid-air before quickly disappearing into the distance.
Lord Wolf felt guilty, and his speech became much more hurried:
"I feel like I'm worthless."
Inner Demons Clap Their Hands:
"Now you know."
Lord Wolf, filled with remorse, faced Miss Xiaotong, thinking he could end it all peacefully and gently.
Then she overestimated herself.
When Xinmo and Wujin brought the still unconscious Zhuhe back to the Fusang tree after Ronggen successfully fused, they found Xue Lan hiding under a chair, crying.
The Wolf King shrunk to the size of the Soul Guide, hugging a chair leg and silently weeping. His large white ears drooped down, which she used to wipe her tears.
The spirit guide was wiping away his lord's tears, the little one always had something on his mind.
"My lord, my lord, please don't cry, okay?"
"I'll give you candy to guide your soul."
The little girl held a piece of candy, as big as both her hands, and presented it to Xue Lan, looking sweet and adorable.
The inner demon thought Xue Lan would say she wouldn't eat, after all, she looked quite heartbroken from crying...
Before the thought in his mind could even settle, Lord Wolf King interrupted the inner demon's speculation with his actions.
With lightning speed, Xue Lan, who was the size of a fist, grabbed the candy, peeled it open, and then swallowed it in one gulp after her head grew bigger!
Then I continued to cry.
The girl, Xiaotong, who was squatting next to the chair, was furious. She raised her hand, pointed at Xue Lan's head, and pushed her over.
"What are you doing? Eating demon souls?!"
Both Xinmo and Wujin couldn't help but laugh.
The inner demon stepped forward, glanced at Xue Tong, then squatted down next to the girl and extended a finger to tease Xue Lan:
"It seems they didn't loosen the rules this time."
Xue Tong looked at the inner demon and slowly spoke:
"I'm so angry, I don't want to release the water."
The inner demon nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, I like it."
For once, Xue Tong didn't join in cursing her inner demon, instead quietly observing it with a look that seemed to...
There was even a hint of pity in him.
The inner demon sensed something was wrong and shrank back:
"If you scold her, you can't scold me."
Little Tong didn't scold her, but slowly raised her hand:
"She bit off your finger, didn't you feel it?"
The inner demon suddenly turned his head and saw Xue Lan patting his own cheek and backing away.
"If it's not Xue Lan, are you sick in the head?"
The inner demon jumped up from the ground, then covered its hand and walked backward.
Her current body is formed from the transformation of celestial soul and demonic energy. Taking a bite can indeed replenish the trace of soul power that Xue Lan lost when she activated the causal red thread.
But isn't it a bit too unseemly to just bite it directly?
Lord Wolf doesn't care about propriety.
One gulp and his soul power was fully restored. The alarm that had been ringing on Xue Tong's side for almost half an hour finally stopped.
She believed she had found the courage to face Xue Tong, and defiantly wiped away her tears as she emerged from under the chair, her body now appearing normal in size…
Then, with a smooth movement, he arrived in front of Wu Jin.
Zhu He was placed inside a transparent sphere made of blazing sun flames by Wu Jin, his body surrounded by innate sword energy.
The young man, who was two heads taller than Xue Lan, was huddled inside, looking somewhat aggrieved with his long arms and legs.
Xue Lan couldn't help but speak up:
"Why don't you move my child to a bigger place?"
Wu Jin felt there was too much trouble involved.
The woman raised her hand and gently traced a line on the small ball, and several golden runes slowly appeared on it, containing an aura of supreme strength and masculinity.
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly as she looked at Xue Lan:
"Lord Wolf, don't you think you're asking for too much?"
Xue Lan felt a little like going back to the stool and continuing to cry.
"It's my fault... I'm too talkative."
After quickly finishing her repentance, Xue Lan looked once again at Zhu He, who was sleeping inside the small sphere.
A phantom sword shadow floated above Zhu He's body—it was Xing He.
The tip of the Crane-Walking Sword hovered above Zhu He's head, casting a faint sword mark between his brows.
Lord Wolf murmured:
"Soaring through the nine heavens like a crane, carefree for eternity."
"I was lucky to get this sword back then."
After saying this, Xue Lan raised her hand and put the small ball into her sleeve, then bowed to Wu Jin.
Wu Jin returned the courtesy.
When Zhuhe was undergoing his trial, the outside world had already gone through two cycles of day and night. At this moment, night had fallen and the stars above the East Sea were silent.
A full, bright moon hangs in the sky, like a jade plate.
Xue Lan turned to look at Shang Ling on the Fusang tree:
"Thank you, senior."
