Chapter 38
In an endless ocean, two tall figures of a man and woman floated in the sky standing shoulder to shoulder.
The man had long black hair that fell to his waist, but it was brushed forward and weirdly styled in a way to cover most of his eyes. His nose and mouth were covered by a cloth that matched his clean black robe. He was wrapped in an aura of mystery.
The woman next to him was a head shorter, she wore a white dress that contrast her long black hair. Her silver eyes reflect the sparkling blue water and showcased her unparalleled beauty.
Naturally, it was Ji Xian and Xia Lihua.
At this moment, Ji Xian nodded and said, “This is the spot.”
The moment he finished speaking, a faint fluctuation can be felt from underneath the ocean. It was so subtle, that even to a Holy realm expert unless they were at a close enough distance, it would’ve easily gone unnoticed.
“Spatial fluctuation.”
Xia Lihua's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Even with her cultivation, it required effort to feel it. She couldn’t help but glance at Ji Xian and wonder, He was able to feel such a subtle fluctuation from so far away? Just how strong is he?
She was just about to descend to investigate but stopped after seeing that Ji Xian remained still.
A frown appeared on her face, “Are we waiting for her?”
Ji Xian nodded and said, “She will be here soon.”
Xia Lihua’s eyebrows pinched together upon hearing this and impatience can be seen on her face.
Seeing this, Ji Xian shook his head before giving a small chuckle, “Lihua, you are being influenced by your bloodline.”
Xia Lihua glanced at Ji Xian. Although she doesn’t want to admit it, she knew what Ji Xian said is true.
The first time she met Xiao Yueyin, a primal instinct had awoken inside her. A call from deep inside her soul that urges her to fight and prove superiority. The feeling appeared and immediately wanted to take over her mind and body. If it weren’t for her incredibly strong will that allowed her to suppress it, Xiao Yueyin would’ve died at her hands.
She can also feel her emotions were being affected. She has a natural disdain for Xiao Yueyin. It was hard to explain why she would act like this to someone she hardly know, but Xia Lihua understands it stemmed from her proud bloodline.
Ji Xian saw that Xia Lihua was in deep thought so he didn’t disturb her. This was a side effect of her bloodline that she needed to overcome. The relationships between dragons were complicated...
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yueyin appeared in the distance flying toward them!
Her dark purple dress fluttered behind her and even accentuated her ample bosom. Her face, similar to Ji Xian, was hidden behind a black veil. She had a pair of gentle, straight brows and cold black eyes to match her silky long hair that was parted down the middle. Although her full appearance couldn’t be seen, one can immediately deduce she’s a beauty.
Even from a distance away, Ji Xian can see her flawless features and he can't help but appreciate the view. Subconsciously, the corner of his lips curved upwards.
“Hmph!”
A voice suddenly knocked him out of his daze and he turned to look at Xia Lihua.
“Even that mask can’t hide how happy you look right now.” She said.
“What? Jealous? There’s nothing wrong with appreciating beauty, you know?”
“…”
Ji Xian slyly chuckle after seeing her silence and couldn’t help but tease, “Besides, I think I should be the one who’s jealous..”
Xia Lihua raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, she looked at Ji Xian and noticed his eyes were darting back and forth between her and Xiao Yueyin. Understanding what he meant, a frown appeared on her face.
Before she can say a word, however, Xiao Yueyin has arrived before them!
The moment she arrived, she immediately noticed a weird tension between Ji Xian and Xia Lihua. Xia Lihua had a frown on her face and while she couldn’t see Ji Xian’s face, his shoulder was slightly moving up and down, as though he was holding in a laugh.
The next thing she noticed was the spatial fluctuation coming from below the ocean. Her sensitivity to space even allowed her to almost pinpoint the exact location of where the fluctuation was coming from. Xiao Yueyin wasn’t surprised by this. Her talent in space has always been absurdly high, leaving her peers far behind.
Xiao Yueyin turned back over to Ji Xian and Xia Lihua. Seeing that the two of them were standing so close together, to the point where their shoulders were touching, she furrowed her brows..
Ji Xian struggled to hold in his laugh upon seeing her expression and gave Xia Lihua a side glance.
Xia Lihua ignored him and indifferently said, “She’s here, let’s go.”
Her arm suddenly moved, and she reached out and gently held Ji Xian’s hand into her own.
The sudden intimate action surprised both Ji Xian and Xiao Yueyin.
The two of them dived into the water and descended deeper and deeper while Xiao Yueyin let out a soft, unhappy snort before immediately chasing after them.
The two of them didn’t even bother telling her what was going on and only expected her to follow. When has she, the Dragon Saintess ever been treated this way?
Two thousand meters…
Four thousand meters…
Six thousand meters…
The deeper they descended, the stronger the pressure. At their level, Ji Xian and Xia Lihua were naturally unaffected, but Xiao Yueyin was slowly increasing the amount of True Essence surrounding herself.
At this point, Xiao Yueyin was certain that the man beside Xia Lihua was also in the Holy realm, seeing how he was able to stave off the pressure so effortlessly.
