Chapter 157: Brothers Meet

Chapter 157 Brothers Meet

Day after day, she did not know how much time had passed before Scarlet Thorn finally opened her sleepy, beautiful eyes from a heavy slumber.
She murmured like a small beast, curling up her delicate body.
She nestled peacefully against that warm chest, enjoying the brief moment of warmth as much as she could.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes brightened. She tilted her head back, staring into Qin Xuan's deep, smiling eyes, and said in terror, "Why are you still here!?"
Long Chen was just outside the cave, having waited, who knew how long.
If he were to barge in and see Qin Xuan, wouldn't he immediately draw his sword and attack?
If a great battle were to draw the attention of the surrounding Cultivator, and they were to gang up on Qin Xuan, what would happen?
Qin Xuan had a smile on his lips and said indifferently, "If not here, where else could I go?"
"I would like to just leave, but if that guy Long Chen were to barge in and see this beautiful scenery, even if I were to regret it to the point of heartbreak, what could I do?"
"Even tearing Long Chen into ten thousand pieces wouldn't console the regret in my heart."
The Scarlet Thorn from just a moment ago was like a puddle of mud.
Facing anyone, she had no power to fight back.
No matter how much of a big villain he was, he wouldn't do such a self-degrading, poisonous thing.
Was he trying to disgust himself?
"You are quite overbearing!"
Scarlet Thorn said with feigned anger.
She didn't know why, but hearing Qin Xuan's reply made her heart feel warm, and she felt an indescribable joy.
Immediately, she realized the opposing camps she and Qin Xuan were in, and her expression became one of extreme struggle and conflict.
She forced herself to stand up, dressed neatly, wrapped herself up tightly, adjusted her clothes, checked repeatedly, and then walked resolutely toward the outside of the cave.
Looking back, she sent a voice transmission to Qin Xuan, "I will go and lure Long Chen away. You take the Opportunity to leave here. From now on, we owe each other nothing."
"I will forever remember the hatred of you killing Saint King Leng Li. She was my great benefactor! Next time we meet, I will still kill you to avenge Saint King Leng Li!"
Qin Xuan only watched Scarlet Thorn's thin back, with no intention of stopping her.
Inside the small tower, Leng Li asked curiously, "If you exposed me at this time, this little girl named Scarlet Thorn could be charmed into being an idiot by you!"
Qin Xuan nodded, "I know."
"Then why didn't you let me appear?"
"She has her own Opportunity, and I should not interfere. Moreover, in this Land of Fallen Emperors, being by my side is not necessarily safe."
Qin Xuan had his own plans. If it were other women he valued, he would definitely keep them by his side.
But Scarlet Thorn is a Daughter of Luck.
Which Daughter of Luck would lose her life in a Secret Realm?
For an ordinary Cultivator, entering the Land of Fallen Emperors is seeking death, but for a Daughter of Luck, entering the Land of Fallen Emperors is like going shopping.
Can they be the same?
"Let's go."
Before leaving, Qin Xuan noticed that in the mountain forest, Long Chen was following Scarlet Thorn like a piece of dog-skin plaster, in a sycophantic, simp-like manner.
Before long, Scarlet Thorn had put a great distance between them.
"I hope that next time we meet, Scarlet Thorn will have more good things to give me."
Qin Xuan sneered as he returned to another hidden valley and raised his hand to undo the barrier.
Su Youyu, who had been in seclusion, her skirt fluttering, pounced into Qin Xuan's arms. She hugged Qin Xuan's neck tightly and shouted happily, "Senior Brother, I have broken through! I have ascended to Quasi-Saint! My chances of surviving in the Land of Fallen Emperors have increased by a few points!"
The smile in her eyes was uncontrollable.
She was too happy!
She had thought that consuming so much essence blood would cost her half her life, even if she didn't die.
Who would have thought that she would inexplicably turn a misfortune into a blessing.
Not only did she not suffer, but she actually ascended to Quasi-Saint, her strength greatly increased, and her chances of surviving in the Land of Fallen Emperors had skyrocketed.
This made her even more determined to stay with Qin Xuan.
Following Senior Brother, there is meat to eat!
If I really can't eat meat, drinking some soup is fine too!
Hmph—
Su Youyu took a breath of fresh air, and a faint fragrance from Qin Xuan's body entered her delicate nose.
Her brows furrowed deeply. She lay on Qin Xuan's body, sniffing hard, then suddenly looked up and stared at Qin Xuan, "Senior Brother, have you been fooling around outside!? Why is there a woman's fragrance on you!?"
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your nose is quite sharp."
Su Youyu said in great surprise, "Senior Brother, you are admitting it!?"
She jumped out of Qin Xuan's arms, put on a stern face, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "You can't do this. Fooling around outside is easy to get into trouble. Don't look at those female Cultivator as all bright and beautiful; when they were trying to break through their Realm, who knows how much they had to pay, and who knows how many women were willing to become Cauldron for those powerful experts."
"Some female Cultivator even have incurable, stubborn diseases. If you fool around with them, Senior Brother, it is easy to get infected."
"Even if you can prevent these stubborn diseases, the loss of energy is irreversible, which will greatly reduce your combat power. If you happen to run into an evenly matched opponent at such a time, a situation that you could have won will lead to a narrow defeat, and then you will be killed."
"It doesn't matter if you are killed, Senior Brother, but if I, Junior Sister, don't have your protection, wouldn't I be finished?"
"I haven't even grown my hair out yet, I don't want to be kidnapped by those old things to be used as a Cauldron!"
Qin Xuan felt his head throbbing. He quickly reached out and closed Su Youyu's red lips, "I can't argue with a woman who has two mouths, top and bottom. Since you have already broken through, it is time to part ways."
Taking Su Youyu, not to mention whether she counts as a burden.
Just her non-stop chatter alone is enough to make one's brain feel like mush.
Su Youyu immediately closed her mouth, her beautiful eyes full of grievance. Her bright, juicy lips trembled like waves, and she pouted aggrievedly, choking out, "Senior Brother, do you not want me anymore?"
Qin Xuan rolled his eyes, "You can choose to go with me, but just now on the way back, I killed a Saint and discovered that there are two Saint King, seven or eight Saint Realm Peak, looking for me, wanting to take my ancient prison-suppressing tower. If you are there, the underworld emperor bell is enough to hold off one Saint Realm Middle Stage."
"No, that's not right! You have now ascended to Quasi-Saint and possess the top-tier Sacred Artifact underworld emperor bell; you should be able to hold off one Saint King for me."
Su Youyu, who was standing in front of Qin Xuan, was already a hundred feet away in the next instant.
She was waving at Qin Xuan, "Senior Brother, see you later. If it's not absolutely necessary, remember not to crush the true phoenix feather. Even if you crush it, I might not be able to arrive in time. Take care~"
Qin Xuan shook his head with amusement, "Su Youyu's personality is too distinct; it takes no effort at all to handle her."
He left the valley, following the faint pull of the true phoenix feather, wanting to find the existence of the True Phoenix Nest.
Holy Master of Yaochi is the most noble and likely the most stunning woman he can currently come into contact with.
Seeing her face is not to be missed.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If he wants to take down the Holy Master of Yaochi, the True Phoenix Nest is an Opportunity that absolutely cannot be ignored!
Crossing mountains and ridges, piercing through clouds and mist, he didn't know how long he had been traveling. In a swampy area, a giant crocodile suddenly raised its head and bit at Qin Xuan, who was flying through the air.
"Putting a thermos on your butt—you've got some skill—you're looking for trouble with me, this big villain?!"
Qin Xuan held the heavenly desolation halberd and thrust it out, piercing the giant crocodile's head.
The moment the giant crocodile's body shattered, the swamp covering hundreds of miles also disappeared in a series of strange and bizarre transformations.
What appeared before Qin Xuan was a plain, an open area.
An old man with brown hair wearing a purple robe clapped his hands and praised, "Worthy of being a true disciple of Yaochi who can kill the Son of Prince Ning. This strength is simply Heaven-Defying; a Heavenly Human Realm killing a Quasi-Saint is like cutting vegetables."
"But today, both Prodigy of the Qin Prince's Mansion will have to perish at the hands of me, the Giant Crocodile Saint."
Qin Xuan lowered his head and looked closely, only to see that beside the Giant Crocodile Saint was an old acquaintance, his stupid and greedy younger brother—Qin Hao!
