Chapter 199: The Missing Peerless Sisters

On Mingtong Peak, Qin Xuan had just steadied himself.

Inside the small tower, Leng Li voiced her dissatisfaction, "Saintess Yao Yao, what nerve she has. Being a Natural Charm Physique, she's nothing but a slut. You said it straight to her face, and she even got angry?"

"Could it be that she thinks she can hide the fact that she is a Natural Charm Physique just because others don't say it out loud?"

"What self-deception!"

Leng Li instigated eagerly, "Qin Xuan, you deliberately pretended to be bewitched by the Natural Charm Physique just to take advantage of that slut."

"Today, I'll lend you the courage. Go back and kill your way to the main Peak of Yaochi Sacred Land. Not only will I let you take advantage of her, but I'll also help you conquer Saintess Yao Yao's body!"

"If you take the innocence of the Holy Master of Yaochi, not only will you become famous, but you will also gain incomparable benefits. The results of Dual Cultivation with a Natural Charm Physique alone are enough to promote you to the Saint Realm, or even higher!"

Qin Xuan asked in confusion, "There's such a good thing? Did the sun rise from the west?"

"Have you returned to your Peak, gained further benefits from the styx purple ice crystal, and promoted to a Quasi-Emperor?"

"How much confidence do you have in suppressing Saintess Yao Yao?"

If Leng Li had this confidence, then it might be worth a try.

If one can take a shortcut, who would bother grinding to level up?

Leng Li hummed softly, lifting her snow-white neck arrogantly, "If it were anyone else, it would be a ten-to-zero chance of death, but if it's me, I have a twenty percent chance!"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan rolled his eyes wildly, "Twenty percent confidence? How is that any different from sending myself to death!?"

"It's worth a try!"

"A Natural Charm Physique is a born femme fatale. Not to mention that slut is a stunner herself, the feedback from her Physique alone is enough to let you leap over the dragon gate."

Qin Xuan sneered, "I think you were suppressed by her before, hold a grudge, and are eager for revenge."

"Instead of courting death, why don't you condense the body of the Blood Asura Clan and let me first experience the Bloodline feedback of the Blood Asura Clan? That would at least double the probability of successfully suppressing Saintess Yao Yao."

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li stopped talking.

She was like a mute.

No matter how eloquently Qin Xuan spoke, she remained silent.

She was afraid that if she said another word, she might end up selling herself out!

"The pure and icy Holy Master of Yaochi is actually a Natural Charm Physique. She looks cold, but once you get on good terms with her, she's fiery hot? Tsk tsk tsk, the contrast is maxed out, it's so exciting."

In Qin Xuan's mind, the image of Saintess Yao Yao, stunning enough to make his lust run wild, was still playing back.

He looked around and shook his head bitterly, "It's just that her strength is too great. With a casual wave, she sent me flying straight to Mingtong Peak."

Since he was here, he would make the best of it.

It was a good opportunity to visit some acquaintances on Mingtong Peak and check on the cultivation progress of the Shangguan sisters.

On Mingtong Peak, the moment Qin Xuan appeared in public, he attracted everyone's attention.

Qin Xuan smiled and called someone over, asking, "Where does Shangguan Si live?"

That Disciple was dumbfounded. Ignoring Qin Xuan's question, he shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Qin Xuan is not dead! He has returned alive from the Land of Fallen Emperors and has come to Mingtong Peak to find Senior Sister Shangguan Si!"

"Senior Brother Qin Xuan has come to Mingtong Peak, and he's still alive!"

"..."

"Senior Brother Qin Xuan has come to Mingtong Peak. He was nearly killed in the Land of Fallen Emperors, and he only had one breath left when he came to find the Shangguan sisters."

For a time, rumors in the Yaochi Sacred Land grew more and more intense.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Qin Xuan is back! He was seriously injured in the Land of Fallen Emperors and returned with only one breath left."

"Bullshit, what I heard is that Senior Brother Qin Xuan's body was shattered, and it was the Shangguan sisters who brought his corpse back."

As rumors flew about.

Countless Yaochi Disciples rushed to Mingtong Peak.

Mingtong Peak was unusually lively and crowded with people, all of whom were well-meaning people who came to pay their respects to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan stood in the residence of the Master of Mingtong Peak, looking down at the wailing crowd below.

He turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Zhong, "Uncle, in just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, I've died on your Mingtong Peak?"

Shangguan Zhong stared at Qin Xuan with a smile, "Isn't that because you, my dear nephew, are too popular? So many people are talking about it, causing the rumors to grow more intense? If it were anyone else, let alone a stick of incense, even if their corpse had already started to stink, few people would care."

Qin Xuan was noncommittal.

He had no intention of reminiscing with a grown man like Shangguan Zhong and said straight to the point, "Where is Young Miss Shangguan Si training?"

He felt something was wrong.

Even if Shangguan Si was not on Mingtong Peak and was really out training, Shangguan Ying could not possibly remain indifferent to the news of his death.

It was even more impossible for her not to come out to greet him after he had appeared.

Shangguan Zhong pondered for a long time. Knowing that he could not continue to hide it, he sighed sorrowfully, "Actually, Si'er and Yingying are not out training, nor are they staying behind closed doors in their residence. They have gone missing. They disappeared right here on Mingtong Peak, and even the Holy Master cannot find any trace of them."

Seeing that Shangguan Zhong did not seem to be lying and there was no look of worry in his eyes, Qin Xuan spoke plainly, "Did the Double-Pupil Woman take them away?"

He added, pretending to be ignorant, "To be able to evade the Dharma Eye of the Holy Master, abduct people silently, and be an enemy of my Sacred Land and an enemy of mine, it must be the Double-Pupil Woman!"

Shangguan Zhong waved his hands quickly, "It is not what you think, nephew. It is just that my daughter's pupil power underwent a mutation, which attracted the attention of the Double-Pupil Woman. And since Si'er and Yingying knew that you had a grudge against the Double-Pupil Woman and that you were under the Double-Pupil Curse, they willingly entered her sect, hoping to resolve the grievances between you and the Double-Pupil Woman."

"There is no need to worry about their safety. If she wanted to make things difficult for them, with the Double-Pupil Woman's strength, there would be no need to act in such a secretive manner. Nephew, you have no need to worry."

"Perhaps before long, the Double-Pupil Curse on your body will be peacefully resolved."

Qin Xuan curled his lips.

The Double-Pupil Curse?

Since no one had mentioned it for a while, he had long since forgotten it to the back of his mind.

He couldn't tell now whether Shangguan Zhong knew about the Double-Pupil Woman's curse.

In any case, what was certain was that he would not be seeing Shangguan Si and Shangguan Ying for a short time.

There was no way to walk the old path again, and even less chance to enjoy the fierce impact of a sweet young girl throwing herself into his arms.

After a few pleasantries, Qin Xuan took his leave.

Returning to Thunder Prison Peak, this time he deliberately avoided the public eye.

In the familiar residence, the windows were bright and clean, and it had been swept clean, spotless.

In the air, a refreshing floral scent seemed to still linger.

On the windowsill, the green plants were placed, and on the leaves, there were crystal-clear water droplets, each one plump and translucent.

Back at his residence, Qin Xuan went to Qing Ning's room.

He did not see Qing Ning in the residence, but instead, he saw himself.

In Qing Ning's secondary bedroom, a spirit tablet was prominently placed in the main position, with neat blood-red characters written in fresh blood: "The Tablet of My Deceased Husband, Qin Xuan."

In the bottom right corner, there was also a small line of text: "Erected by your concubine, Qing Ning."

Inside the small tower, Leng Li rolled her eyes in annoyance, "When you weren't dead, she kept saying she would stay in the residence and never leave, and that even if you died, she would follow you in death. But the moment you actually encountered trouble, she disappeared just a few days after the news came back. People are fickle."
