Chapter 38: You Two Are the Perfect Match, a Divine Pair Destined for Each Other

“Scorpion, where should I get it tattooed?”
Xu Yuefeng looked down at himself, then finally raised his hand. “On the tiger’s mouth, I guess. Scorpions look more imposing there. I’ve seen in those TV dramas that the big shots all get their tattoos on the tiger’s mouth.”

Xu Tanxi nodded thoughtfully. “Hmm, a scorpion is good. Later, when you’re fat to a hundred and ninety pounds, and someone asks why you have a little crayfish tattooed on your hand...”

Xu Yuefeng was so annoyed he had no retort. “...Fine, then I’ll get an eagle tattooed!”

On the train, Yile and her sister waved goodbye to Ayase. After watching her leave the carriage, Kirino’s somewhat forced smile instantly faded, replaced by her previous sullen expression.

“Kusou Gen must have gone back to the East Sea to recover from his injuries. We need not concern ourselves with him anymore. But Lan Lingzong’s fire managed to escape; we need to silence him. Otherwise, if the Landmaster’s Mansion captures him, it would be bad if any secrets are revealed,” said the voice from the cave entrance glowing with a red light.

The man turned around and struck Batu’s head repeatedly with both elbows. Despite the blows leaving him dizzy, Batu still refused to let go.

“Very well. Now, lift the restriction on all the fellow cultivators and withdraw as planned. Except for those who must stay for the battle, everyone else evacuates,” said Wuxiang.

The Flame Demon soldiers gratefully fled, while Uenqi clutched his severed right arm, his face full of fury.

The Ancestral Spirit Mirror had been shattered to dust by the wild thunder, and the Eight-Sided Iron Sword was broken beyond use, yet both had saved Uenqi’s life. His survival was partly due to the demonic core born within his chest, but more importantly, it was because of the Eight-Sided Iron Sword.

Suddenly, Uenqi understood everything. The Ancestral Spirit Taiyi spoken of by the boatmen was actually the holy spirit that had turned him into a toad. On the same day, the holy spirit transformed both Uenqi and Aleph into three-legged toads. Clearly, all that Uenqi had suffered was nothing but the holy spirit’s mockery and punishment.

Kamiyo Kanon was on the vacant ground to the right, wielding a wooden sword—quite a hefty one at that.

Those leaving today via the third route chose their own dock as planned, but they had to move together for five days before dispersing.

Cao Cao was putting out the sparks inside the Fire Palace while requesting Empress Dowager He to act as regent, dispatch troops to pursue Zhang Rang and the others, and search for the Young Emperor.

A black soul seemed to sense Ye Tian’s presence. It flew over and hovered in front of him, reluctant to approach, circling him several times as if probing for something.

Endless probing tests even made Bai Zu somewhat annoyed. It wasn’t the first time entering another’s dream, but encountering someone like Shen Shi—so complete, with so many characters—was unprecedented for it.

Nie Hu cursed in displeasure. Now someone still wanted to do business with Ling Hao? That person must be stone-witted.

He continued forward, passing one colossal pillar after another, until finally reaching the grand palace’s main gate. The massive door was oval-shaped, almost like an arch, with blazing light sources embedded at the very top, casting beams outward to illuminate the dark starry sky.

Jian He and Wen Ruoliu broke through the encirclement from the valley, rushing overnight to this place, utterly exhausted, collapsing one after the other onto the ship.

Whether illusions or divine abilities, they were fully woven by the caster—but they were too fake. Unless there was a huge disparity in realm, they simply couldn’t affect Shen Shi.

Everyone thought he had wandered off for a while and split up to search nearby villages. Yet this person vanished into thin air, leaving no trace. Only five days later did he suddenly reappear at his own doorstep.

Ye Tian never cared about the lives or deaths of strangers, but the viper was his company commander. Since the viper had taken offense at him, Ye Tian was determined to exact revenge.

“I know you haven’t had enough fun yet, so I risked my life to secure you an extra month from above. This month, you can play however you want. How’s that? Pretty generous of your master, isn’t it?” came the hypocritical voice of Xuanxuanzi over the phone.
