Chapter 1295: It Would Be Unimaginable!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
BANG! A thunderous big bang exploded in Xu Que’s heart at this time. He felt as if his heart had been punched heavily by someone, and it hurt so much. It seemed as if someone had taken away his soul. Now he knew he was in the mouth of the tiger!
However, this “tiger” was not at the height of its powers. The remnant G.o.dhead had failed to devour him all at once, and it had not even been able to devour Liu Jingning! Xu Que had a feeling that his soul and Taoist Connotation were being eroded and devoured by an energy. However, he was not able to locate that energy. The only thing he knew was that the energy was very powerful and horrible. And he didn’t know how to attack that energy.
“You shouldn’t have come into this place!” A voice, which sounded very sorrowful, could be heard at this time. Xu Que looked up and found Liu Jingning was walking toward him slowly. She was looking at him reproachfully. However, he could also see tenderness in her eyes. In order to save her, Xu Que had come into this place without hesitation even though he knew his life would be endangered. Any woman would be touched by a man who was willing to die for her.
“Hey! You can move your body now?” Xu Que asked in surprise. When Xu Que was outside of this place, he saw Liu Jingning sitting on the ground motionlessly. Now, she seemed to be moving freely about.
“I have always been able to move freely here. Just now, when I saw you were about to come into this place, I rushed toward the opening desperately shouting at you. But I was not able to leave this place!” Liu Jingning was also surprised by Xu Que’s reaction.
Xu Que couldn’t help but frown at this moment. The scene he had witnessed from outside was totally different! What is in this Secret Door now? My body or my soul? Immediately, he turned around and saw that Duan Jiude and b.u.t.tface were still standing outside. They were looking into this place with widened eyes. Xu Que could even hear their conversation clearly in this place!
“Oh, no! This guy has also sat down on the ground after entering this place! I guess we will have to elect a new Faction Leader!” b.u.t.tface said seriously. Duan Jiude put away his tortoisesh.e.l.l and said as he shook his head, “What the h*ll? I can’t tell his fortune by practicing divination! No, I can’t get any results from the divination at all! This is so weird!”
“Does it imply something?” Mo Junchen asked at this moment.
“There are just too many variables now. All the variables could influence the result of the divination!” Duan Jiude replied. Mo Junchen, who was enlightened by Duan Jiude’s words, nodded his head, and said, “According to Buddhist theories, these are causes and effects. When there are too many causes, the effect will be uncertain!”
“Right, that’s it! So, the best way for us to help him now is to do nothing and just look at him quietly!” Duan Jiude said as he nodded his head.
…..
On hearing that, Xu Que knew that he was also sitting on the ground with his legs crossed like Liu Jingning had been in the eyes of b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude and the rest of the people that were looking in the Secret Door. This weird situation could only be caused by two reasons: first, their bodies were sitting on the ground, but their souls had already been extracted and transferred to an isolated world that was invisible to the people outside; and second, the simple fact that it was an illusion, a hallucination like Xu Que had said. What b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude saw was not true. It was just an illusion fabricated by the G.o.dhead. Xu Que and Liu Jingning were isolated in this place. Even worse, Xu Que was starting to have doubts about whether this Liu Jingning in front of him was real or not!
“Little girl, I have a question for you!” Xu Que decided to ask Liu Jingning a question. Liu Jingning was surprised. Then she replied, “What’s wrong, little brat?”
“Nothing! From now on, you should call me big fellow!” Xu Que said with a smile as he placed his hand on Liu Jingning’s shoulder.
Liu Jingning said as she stared at Xu Que, “I didn’t expect that you would still be in the mood for jokes at this time! Also, why have you chosen to disguise yourself as an old man? I wouldn’t have recognized you at all if I hadn’t heard the conversation between you and b.u.t.tface! You are using this to try and seduce a girl again, right?”
“My G.o.d! How could that be? I have always been a one-woman kind of man!” Xu Que said with a smile as he dismissed the doubts in his mind. If this Liu Jingning had been a fake one, she wouldn’t know his real ident.i.ty. Also she wouldn’t call him little brat. Although Liu Jingning learned this nickname from Jiang Hongyan, it had become her habitual way of addressing Xu Que.
“OK, that’s enough! What should we do now?” Liu Jingning patted Xu Que’s chest. She was not in the mood to have fun with Xu Que at this time. After all, she had been trapped in this place first. Then, she was responsible for implicating Xu Que. It was quite difficult for her to calm down at this moment.
“Don’t worry! Let me handle it!” Xu Que said with a faint smile. Then he started to look around again. The dazzling Little Gold Clone between his eyebrows merged with his body to fill his eyes with magnificent Celestial Core Power. SWIs.h.!.+ Two strands of light gushed out of Xu Que’s eyes and swept across this pitch-dark place as if they could see everything here.
“Hey! Look! There are two spots of light in there!” Duan Jiude’s scream could be heard both inside and outside the hole. b.u.t.tface also walked up and started to look around by pressing his funny face against the wall at the entrance of the opening. At last, he also saw the two light beams in the dark hole. “Holy sh*t! They are just like two eyes!” b.u.t.tface said in surprise.
Hearing that, the rest of the people in the area also walked up to have a look. Bai Cailing, Ji Wuyun, and the other two sovereigns, who were protected by their guardians, also stepped forward to check on whether they could help or not. Of course, they were more interested in whether the old man, whose Cultivation Stage had reached the Celestial King or an even higher stage, could walk out alive.
“They really do look like two eyes!” Ji Wuyun also said, nodding his head after checking it out carefully.
“D*mn! Does it mean somebody else is also hiding in this place?” b.u.t.tface asked, his eyes wide. All of them could see that Xu Que and Liu Jingning were sitting with their legs crossed. So the newly discovered two eyes must belong to a third person!
When Xu Que heard their conversation, he raised his eyebrows and tried to send a message to b.u.t.tface with his Soul Strength. Then, he felt his Soul Strength encounter a solid wall that stopped it from leaving this place. However, Liu Jingning had managed to send him a message just now. So Xu Que refused to believe that his Soul Strength couldn’t penetrate this barrier. He focused his attention on concentrating on his Soul Strength. Then he threw out his Soul Strength abruptly, which created a crack on the barrier. At last, a strand of Soul Strength forced its way out through that crack.
“b.u.t.tface, it’s me!” Xu Que sent a message immediately. b.u.t.tface was shocked a bit. Then he frowned and shouted loudly, “Who the h*ll are you?”
“D*mn! Heavenly King Overpowers Ground Tiger!” Xu Que said angrily.
“Holy sh*t! Brother Que, you are still alive!” b.u.t.tface was shocked and asked hurriedly.
“Cut the cr*p. The eyes you saw are mine. The one who is sitting on the ground may be my body or an illusion. Just find a way to put something long into this place in the direction of my eyes!” Xu Que sent a message immediately.
“Something long?” b.u.t.tface said as he looked down at his lower body. Then he shook his head, “It is not long enough!”
“Borrow the white silk scarf from Bai Cailing. It’s a Celestial Artifact, which maybe could get longer!” Xu Que said, rolling his eyes with embarra.s.sment. If he had known it from the start how silly b.u.t.tface would be, he would have sent a message to Bai Cailing directly.
“Okay! Brother Que, you can count on me. I will absolutely get both of you out. The Exploding Heavens Faction should not be leaderless!” b.u.t.tface said immediately and he patted his chest. Then, he turned around to wave at Bai Cailing and was about to borrow that white silk scarf. At this time, Xu Que didn’t have the time to check what was happening in the outside world. After getting back his Soul Strength, he reached his arm around Liu Jingning’s waist and said in a low voice, “Little devil, hold me tight! And never loosen your grip no matter what happens later!”
“Okay!” Liu Jingning nodded her head seriously. She was quite nervous at this moment. She didn’t know what Xu Que was planning, and she didn’t dare to relax for their actions would decide whether she and Xu Que could survive! Looking at this man who was younger than she was, but who could provide her with a sense of security, Liu Jingning felt her heart was filled with warmth.
At the same time, Liu Jingning was quite embarra.s.sed because she knew Xu Que had so many female soulmates. It was quite normal for a man to have a polygamous life. Most male cultivators had several cultivation companions. But Xu Que was just too greedy! She held Xu Que’s body tightly and she pressed her head against Xu Que’s chest. Then she closed her eyes and asked softly, “Xu Que, I have a question!”
“Oh? What is it?” Xu Que fixed his eyes on the opening and was waiting for b.u.t.tface to insert the silk scarf into this place.
“If you were a woman, would you give your heart to a man like you?”
“Ah?” Hearing that, Xu Que was stunned a bit. Then he waved his hand and smiled excitedly, “Heh, heh, heh, it would be unimaginable! A man like me is a blessed gift which could only be found by accidental good luck!”
