The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 908 - 498: Reunion with Langya (Part 2)

"Three hours." As soon as this girl encounters anything related to money, she becomes extremely focused, and he wonders if he should be jealous of these account books, "Come, let me hold you!"

She answered with a distracted "Mm," while still clutching the account book as she walked over.

Changtian’s face darkened, and he caught her and gave her a fierce, deep kiss that made her cheeks flush and almost took her breath away: "With me around, you dare not focus?"

If they were in Huaxia, with his eagerness and their lung capacity, they could absolutely enter a kissing contest, probably even win an iPad or a phone or something, she secretly thought to herself while explaining: "I’m guarding the finances for you! Hidden Stream doesn’t keep parasites. These account books have been tampered with using such clumsy tricks; do they truly fear I can’t see through it?"

"Hmph." He raised one eyebrow, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She knew him well enough by now, understanding that while he liked to keep a stiff face, at this moment, his slightly narrowed eyes and mouth turned downward were signs of annoyance, so she wrapped her arms around his neck, asking curiously: "What happened?" They just returned to Hidden Stream, who could have upset this God?

He mumbled: "It’s nothing." He couldn’t possibly admit he was jealous of a mere young boy. After all, he’s a Great Demon who’s lived for tens of thousands of years and already verified his Divine Position. Yet when he heard her laugh like silver bells toward that boy, even knowing she meant nothing else, he couldn’t help feeling quite uncomfortable. The girl in his arms chuckled lightly, licking her lips with her pink tongue and mischievously covering his eyes, then gently nibbling along his thin lips.

The gentle touch felt like butterfly wings brushing past, tantalizing him with a hint of itchiness. She slowly licked and sipped along his lip line as if savoring the finest wine, or like a small rodent sneaking around, he enjoyed this, and the stifled feeling in his chest gradually dissolved into nothingness.

"Why cover my eyes?" he asked roughly.

"Isn’t this nice?" she teased as she spoke, biting his lip and pulling it lightly.

She wouldn’t tell him she feared meeting his gaze; those golden eyes were too intimidating and passionate, and under his intense gaze, all her courage would vanish. But with his eyes covered, her Changtian was the perfect man every woman would envy, including herself, and now he even blinked, his long lashes brushing her palm gently, causing a tingling sensation. The mischievous urge of a fangirl made her want to tease him. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She dared to tease him! Changtian’s breathing immediately quickened, just as he was about to embrace her tightly, she slipped away like a fish from the Demon Transformation Spring, standing beyond the red line laughing, "I have to go out, Langya might summon me at any moment."

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he realized she had pressing matters to attend to and reluctantly allowed her to leave the God Demon Prison.

For most of the day following, she remained in her own territory, going nowhere. Qi Zai and Qingluan followed orders, swiftly returning to her side. Sure enough, about two hours later, Langya dispatched someone to invite her to meet.

She had just returned to Hidden Stream for only a few hours, which showed how closely the Sect Leader monitored her actions. Standing beside her were Gongshu Zhao, Tu Jin, Qingluan, and Qi Zai. The person who came was momentarily surprised before leading her towards the location dictated by Langya.

She observed the direction they were heading, which was neither the Forest Palace nor Langya’s private residence, but rather an inconspicuous treehouse, knowing this meeting carried some risks for her.

Sure enough, the guide stopped in front of the house and respectfully bowed toward it before retreating; she also halted.

From inside the house came Langya’s somber voice: "Ning Xiaoxian, why not come in?"

She deliberately raised her voice: "Sect Leader, the spring light outside is infinitely better, why not come outside to chat?" A wise person never stands under a dangerous wall; the house was pitch-black inside with unknown mechanisms laid out, she wouldn’t willingly risk it alone.

Langya snorted, opened the door, and stepped out, slightly astonished upon seeing the people beside her. Gongshu Zhao and Tu Jin had both concealed their presence, and Langya had not detected them with Divine Thought from within the house.

"Brother Gongshu, it’s a great honor for the Hidden Stream to have you here; why not notify me beforehand so I could welcome you?" He has always known Gongshu Zhao.

Gongshu Zhao smiled and replied: "I accompanied Miss Ning all the way back from the Great Snow Mountain, invited here to act as a witness for her."

Langya was a bit surprised: "A witness?" The Hall Master of Qianjin Hall had traveled with her all this way back, and now came to act as a witness for her, this woman truly had some abilities.

"Indeed." Gongshu Zhao maintained his smile while speaking as sharply as a blade, "I’m here to testify that Miss Ning during her stay abroad these months, has indeed uncovered the curse of Ba Snake’s Power of Growth without any doubt."

The implied meaning was obvious. Langya slightly squinted and said, "Brother Gongshu, you and I share a deep friendship, but this is Hidden Stream’s affair, which doesn’t require outsider interference!"

Gongshu Zhao sighed and said no more.

Langya turned to say, "Ning Xiaoxian, I have met all your demands; now that you have safely returned after several months absence, as per our agreement, you should now hand over the method to lift the Power of Growth to me."

Ning Xiaoxian stepped forward and said, "With pleasure. So please, Sect Leader, calm yourself and follow me..."

Langya’s pupils contracted sharply, coldly asking: "What is the meaning of this?"

"To free you from Ba Snake’s power." She blinked innocently, "Just like all the Hidden Guards who went out with me, and additionally, He Sect Leader too."

Langya’s face had turned ashen, uttering word by word: "Explain the method clearly before I decide to strike you down!"(To be continued.
