Chapter 258: Qin Xuan Becomes a Godfather

Chapter 258: Qin Xuan Becomes a Godfather

When Qin Xuan emerged from the ancient prison-suppressing tower, his residence was exceptionally quiet, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

Qin Xuan's lips curled slightly, and he said aloud, "Stop hiding, come out."

From behind the screen, a beautiful woman holding a dagger walked out slowly, escorting Qing Ning.

She narrowed her phoenix eyes, scrutinized Qin Xuan sitting on the edge of the bed, and snorted coldly, "So you are the one who murdered Saint King Leng Li!"

"And you are the one who fed Scarlet Thorn some kind of love potion, making her willingly gift you over twenty million top-grade Origin Qi stones?"

"You even went so far as to feign the illusion that Saint King Leng Li is still alive, deceiving the members of Hidden Kill, wanting to take us as your subordinates?"

This woman was at the Peak of the Saint Realm, just one step away from the Saint King Realm.

Clearly, this was the strongest member of Hidden Kill that Scarlet Thorn had mentioned — Elder Yu Jue.

She was also the founder of this organization.

Qin Xuan looked her over with great interest and waved his hand, saying, "Let Qing Ning go first."

Elder Yu Jue released Qing Ning, stepped back with her right leg, and Saint Yuan energy swirled around her arms, ready to shatter space and flee at any moment.

"Where is Scarlet Thorn?"

"She is a member of my Hidden Kill, so naturally, I will not harm her, but I also cannot allow you to continue deceiving us so recklessly! You saved a member of my Hidden Kill, and my Hidden Kill has paid you the reward. From now on, we are even. If we meet again, we will still be enemies. We will not forget the vengeance for Saint King Leng Li!"

Elder Yu Jue drew a clear line, having no intention of fighting to the death right now.

The point was, she wasn't stupid enough to throw her life away.

If not for the concern that Scarlet Thorn held some status in Qin Xuan's heart, she would never have come alone to clear things up.

"You are different from Scarlet Thorn and the others." Qin Xuan rubbed his chin, pulled the frightened Qing Ning onto his lap, and gently stroked her chest, soothing her emotions.

Only then did he lift his gaze to look at Elder Yu Jue and say, "You seem very familiar with Leng Li. That's good, it saves me from having to explain further."

With a wave of his hand, Leng Li's soul form appeared in the room from within the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Upon seeing the white-haired, red-eyed Leng Li before her, Elder Yu Jue's gaze flickered for an instant before returning to normal. She snorted coldly, "You killed Saint King Leng Li, so naturally, you know the secrets of her Blood Asura Clan!"

"If it were truly Saint King Leng Li here, she would have already killed someone like you who imprisons her freedom!"

"Saint King Leng Li dislikes being bound the most, and she hates playboys who toy with women's feelings even more."

"If Saint King Leng Li saw someone like you, she would definitely kill you on the spot. How could she possibly collude with you?"

"Do not try to deceive me with illusions!"

"Saint King Leng Li is absolutely not such a shameless person!"

Leng Li's beautiful lips twitched wildly as she listened.

Her waterfall of white hair even began to flutter without any wind.

She hadn't said a word, so how was she shameless, and how was she colluding with anyone?

Elder Yu Jue opened her mouth, wanting to continue her accusations.

Leng Li glared at her and shouted angrily, "Elder Yu Jue, that's enough! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll hack you to pieces!"

Elder Yu Jue snorted lightly, glanced at Qin Xuan, and said angrily, "As expected, Scarlet Thorn even told you my information. She has truly been bewitched!"

"Shut up!"

Just as Leng Li was about to speak again, Qin Xuan pulled her to sit on his right side.

He reached out, draped his arm over Leng Li's shoulder, leaned in very close until their cheeks touched, and gestured with his chin toward Elder Yu Jue, "Who is this? She's very familiar with you. Didn't you say you never took any disciples?"

Leng Li closed her eyes, unwilling to accept reality, and said, "I was once injured and fell off a cliff. I was taken in by a family. That family encountered bandits, and the entire village was slaughtered. When I woke up, I was in a cellar hidden under a haystack with this Elder Yu Jue."

"After I recovered some Origin Qi, I slaughtered all the bandits for that family."

"At that time, Elder Yu Jue was too young, and since I had received their kindness, I could only keep her by my side for ten years and teach her some Cultivation Technique. I never thought she would become the founder of Hidden Kill."

After speaking, she was about to open her mouth to silence Elder Yu Jue.

But unexpectedly, Elder Yu Jue knelt on the ground first, kowtowed three times with loud thuds, and then, with tears streaming down her face, wailed, "Godmother, you are still alive!"

"That's great! You're not dead!"

These secrets were known only to her and her godmother, Leng Li.

Being able to know these details, especially this expression of disdain from her godmother, was exactly the same as it was back then.

The person before her was indeed her godmother!

"Godmother?"

Qin Xuan glanced at Leng Li with great interest.

He didn't expect that Leng Li actually had a goddaughter?

As for Elder Yu Jue's gratitude, he found it not hard to understand.

When she was young, she was kept by Leng Li's side, protected, and taught Cultivation Technique.

One must know that although Leng Li's reputation wasn't great, she was a free-spirited person. It was impossible for her to have any crooked intentions. The Cultivation Technique she taught must have been the real deal, most likely her own genuine methods.

One could see a thing or two from Elder Yu Jue's current cultivation level.

She was just one step away from the Saint King Realm.

At the age when her worldview was being shaped, she had been protected by the free-spirited Leng Li from beginning to end.

It was only natural that she would have such feelings.

Leng Li shouted angrily in disdain, "Shut your mouth! If you call me godmother one more time, I'll cripple you!"

"From now on, Qin Xuan's words are my orders. You are to treat his requests as if they were spoken by me. I don't want to say anything more about the rest."

She was annoyed whenever she saw Elder Yu Jue.

Especially since the ten years when Elder Yu Jue was most annoying were spent right by her side.

Those ten years were practically hell for her. Seeing Elder Yu Jue again, she just wanted to escape and stay far away from her.

Before Leng Li could return to the ancient prison-suppressing tower, she saw the kneeling Elder Yu Jue kowtow three times freely toward Qin Xuan, saying with deep guilt, "Godfather, your daughter did not know your identity before and has offended you deeply. Please forgive me, Godfather."

"As Godmother said, from now on, all members of Hidden Kill will obey Godfather's orders and are willing to die for you!"

In Leng Li's red eyes, shame and anger were written all over her face.

She raised her hand and shouted angrily, "Elder Yu Jue, I'll kill you!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" Qin Xuan grabbed Leng Li, only to find that she was like a pig before the New Year, impossible to hold back.

He quickly hoisted her onto his waist with both hands, looked at the kneeling Elder Yu Jue, and nodded, "Get up. Your mother is shy; she's embarrassed in front of so many people!"

The hoisted Leng Li struggled wildly on Qin Xuan's shoulder, her legs kicking continuously into the air, and she roared hysterically, "Qin Xuan, shut up! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you too!"

The kneeling Elder Yu Jue stood up and muttered suspiciously, "Are you really my godmother?"

"Godmother once said that you must be willing to admit to the things you've done. To be a person, you must dare to act and admit it, living freely and unrestrainedly!"

"Just now, Qin Xuan was pressed so close to you. If he weren't Godfather, why wouldn't you have killed him, Godmother?"

"In the past, men who passed by and just looked at you a few extra times or said a couple of lewd words were all slapped to death by you!"

"Today, how come Godfather is acting lewdly toward you, yet you remain indifferent? Have you become a slut, Godmother? Or can you no longer lift your blade?"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan wished he could raise all five limbs in deep agreement.

Good! Well said!

Leng Li was a hothead. When she first met Great Emperor Ziyang, she was only in the Saint King Realm, like an ant, yet she wanted to rush up and fight Great Emperor Ziyang.

The child she had raised was truly cut from the same cloth, a little hothead who had evolved into a big stubborn mule.

Daring to expose Leng Li's hypocrisy in front of so many people.

This courage.

She was worthy of being Leng Li's 'goddaughter'!

"Die, everyone must die here!"

"Today, no one in this room will leave alive!"

Leng Li's hysterical roar became increasingly chilling.

As if she didn't recognize anyone, she fell into a bloodthirsty state.

"Alright, alright, we're old married couple, what are you pretending for?"

Qin Xuan put down the struggling Leng Li.

Leng Li, who had been shouting chilling words, actually resented Qin Xuan for not holding her back a little more after she was truly freed.

Should she kill indiscriminately now? Or would it be more appropriate to continue being angry?

Qin Xuan pinched Leng Li's solid-like soul form, gave her cheek a squeeze, then cupped her face and kissed her natural lips.

Only then did he look at Elder Yu Jue and say, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Once you fall in love, you will naturally understand what your mother is feeling right now."
