Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 381: Fiancée?

"Indeed, your mother was indeed taken away by us from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty, as for the purpose, you are not yet qualified to know," the woman said with an air of arrogance, her gaze toward Xu Ping’an also filled with disdain.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes grew colder in an instant.

So it was people from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty who had taken her away.

"My mother is but a mortal, born into a Commandery Prince’s household, she shouldn’t be of any value to you, right?" Xu Ping’an continued to inquire.

"Whether she has value is not for you to judge, even we of the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty don’t have that right, the secrets your mother carries are beyond your imagination," the woman said coldly.

Xu Ping’an’s brows furrowed to the utmost.

The proud princess of the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty actually uttered such words, which indeed surprised Xu Ping’an.

It seems the secrets his mother held were indeed momentous.

"Is my mother in the Earth Spirit Realm?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, she was in the Earth Spirit Realm before, but whether she still is now, I do not know," the woman replied.

Xu Ping’an was taken aback once more.

What did that mean?

Was his mother being moved to other places?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Xu Ping’an’s face, the woman chuckled again, "Actually, all of this should not concern you, but considering that your mother once saved my life, I’m telling you all this."

"Saved your life?" Xu Ping’an was surprised once again.

His own mother had actually saved this princess of the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty?

Then, did that mean his mother did not hold a strong animosity towards the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stepped in to save her.

"Then can you tell me who took my mother away at that time? Was it someone from the Earth Spirit Immortal Emperor?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"It was someone from the Earth Spirit Immortal Emperor, but it involves too much. Xu Ping’an, with your strength and influence, I advise you to give up," the woman said indifferently.

"Did my mother say anything before she left?" Xu Ping’an didn’t heed her words and asked further.

The woman fell silent upon hearing this.

Xu Ping’an looked puzzled, what did that mean?

Finally, the woman took a deep breath and said, "Your mother mentioned she had a son and asked me to marry you when I grew up. I agreed then as a young girl, but you might as well forget about it. I, Tang Xinyue, will definitely not marry you."

"Huh?"

Xu Ping’an was completely stunned.

A wife?

What was this all about?

And when had he ever said he wanted to marry her?

Xu Ping’an immediately felt his head swell to the size of a bull’s.

Tang Xinyue seemed dissatisfied with Xu Ping’an’s reaction, her eyes filled with intense coldness.

"Take my mother’s words with a grain of salt; I will not marry you either, there is no relation between us," Xu Ping’an immediately stated.

"So much the better," Tang Xinyue said coldly.

Xu Ping’an felt extreme helplessness.

His own mother, even when captured, had still planned a marriage for him.

And why the penchant for princesses as his brides-to-be?

Su Chan being a princess of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty was one thing, and now there was another princess from the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty.

Did he have a particular fondness for princesses?

At that thought, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but size up Tang Xinyue.

Her beauty was indeed exceptional, not falling short when compared to Li Qingyi and Gu Lingyan, a true beauty of superior grade, it was just that her cold demeanor was downright shiver-inducing.

For a moment, silence fell between the two, the atmosphere awkward.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere was quickly broken.

"Saintess, I’ve found it." At that moment, the voice of the Earth Attribute Protector suddenly came from afar.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyue immediately swept towards the direction of the Earth Attribute Protector.

Xu Ping’an and the other three Protectors also immediately followed suit.

Soon, they arrived in front of a massive subterranean rift.

The rift was vast, approximately a hundred meters wide.

It was unfathomably deep, with darkness below, and nothing could be seen at all.

Despite that, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the crack; even getting near it made Xu Ping’an’s scalp tingle.

Yet, about a hundred meters down the walls of the rift, there was a cave dwelling at the moment.

From within the cave dwelling, a dazzling light radiated.

The light was imbued with an exceedingly rich aura.

"Is there actually a cave dwelling here?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished.

Who would carve out a dwelling here?

However, at the entrance of the cave, there were man-made structures, which indicated that it was indeed carved out by human hands.

"You all wait here for me, Xu Ping’an, you come down with me," Tang Xinyue said to the four Protectors, and then she looked towards Xu Ping’an.

The four Protectors were all taken aback and hurriedly said, "Saintess, this place might be extremely dangerous, we should go down with you."

Xu Ping’an was also somewhat surprised; Tang Xinyue actually wanted him to accompany her alone?

"No need; this gorge contains the essence of Heavenly Fire, and once you get close to the cave dwelling, the Heavenly Fire will erupt, and the talisman seals on you will be of no use," Tang Xinyue responded.

"But…" The four Protectors were somewhat hesitant.

"There are no buts. Now that we have come this far, I must obtain that thing, as you all know, it is my mission," Tang Xinyue said with a determined look in her eyes, suddenly emanating a sense of resolute purpose.

Xu Ping’an watched Tang Xinyue with surprise.

At that moment, he suddenly felt Tang Xinyue was a pitiable person, seemingly burdened with responsibilities beyond his imagination.

On hearing this, the four Protectors fell silent.

"You’re not afraid of Heavenly Fire, right? I remember that you are an Artifact Refiner," Tang Xinyue said to Xu Ping’an.

"Not afraid, but I’m curious, why did you ask me to come with you? Is it really just to use my lifespan?" Xu Ping’an was a bit skeptical of Tang Xinyue’s purpose at this moment.

Was Tang Xinyue’s approach towards him a coincidence or deliberate?

The Tang Xinyue in front of him gave Xu Ping’an a feeling that she was unfathomable.

"You will know once we go down. Didn’t you enter the volcano for this item as well?" Tang Xinyue stated.

Having said that, she didn’t wait for Xu Ping’an, and directly swept towards the crack below.

Xu Ping’an hesitated for a moment, but then promptly followed.

As soon as he entered the gorge, the Mysterious Ice Talisman on Xu Ping’an instantly melted.

An incredibly terrifying force of flames swept towards Xu Ping’an.

Tang Xinyue was right; the gorge was filled with invisible Heavenly Fire.

The power of this Heavenly Fire was overwhelmingly terrifying, and even with Xu Ping’an having tempered his heart, he felt indescribably agonizing, as all the blood in his body began to boil.

Xu Ping’an urgently circulated the Tyrant Heavenly Dragon Elephant Technique.

At this point, the concentration of the True Power here was already more than ten times that of the Fire Essence.

Xu Ping’an absorbed it frantically, continuously strengthening the energy in his heart.

Only after absorbing the True Power did Xu Ping’an feel much better.

However, as they descended, the power of the Heavenly Fire here became even more terrifying.

However, Tang Xinyue seemed completely at ease, swiftly entering the mouth of the cave dwelling.
