Chapter 394: Familiar
Xue Fang nodded, agreeing with YanYu, then tried to convince MingHao again. But he didn't budge; this was not just about YanYu, but for MingHao, it was a way to get even stronger.
In frustration, Xue Fang said, "If you are so adamant, fine, then let me check it inside your inner world."
Xue Fang and MingHao exchanged gazes in silence. Allowing someone stronger to enter your inner world is something that requires absolute trust.
As for before, he only entered YanYu's because of an emergency.
Otherwise, God knows what she could do inside him.
"You don't trust me? I can sign a blood contract. I will not send a spirit stronger than you.
And honestly speaking, I don't know what weird thing you did before, but if I don't use my puppet, I doubt I can win fighting with you."
MingHao's eyes narrowed down as he felt Xue Fang was being weird. She had never acted like this before. "Why do you care so much? I am sure in the worst case, I will just get a wound to my soul."
If it was MingYue or his uncle, he understood why they would flip out. Ultimately, his sister.
MingYue had some weird means that enhanced his strength; she also had so many weird tools that defied his knowledge. There was no way she would accept this risk for strength like this, or who knew she had methods to ensure his safety.
Even Xueqi's ancestor didn't understand what she did when sealing him to the ring. In his eyes, now MingYue could do anything.
Xue Fang was startled by the sudden question. Now that she thought about it, she didn't understand why she had gone all emotional with him.
Xueqi's ancestor, who was watching all this happen, couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "It's good to be young. How can you not know, my descendant? It's clear she likes you."
Xue Fang's cheeks turned red at the accusation, but her gaze turned cold, "Shut your mouth, you old geezer."
While inside, she was flustered; she started questioning herself if this was true or not.
Despite their age difference, it was nothing more than a number for cultivators like them. Her gaze then changed once more as she looked back at MingHao. She changed the topic back to the matter.
"We don't have much time. What is your answer?"
MingHao looked at Xue Fang's eyes deeply, then closed his eyes, "Do it quickly."
He didn't ask for the contract and quickly lowered his soul defense. Xue Fang smiled as she put her finger on his forehead.
YanYu just sighed at the scene. She felt guilty; she felt like she was bringing them down.
She was the one that got kidnapped, even her fortuitous encounter became a problem. A desire to become stronger started budding in her heart.
Before, she already felt satisfied with her current realm, but now she wanted to become stronger to not pull back her comrade.
Xueqi's ancestor looked at her with a smirk, "How about you? Do you like him too? You know this young lad's potential. I am sure that, in the future, many beauties will surround him.
It's good to book him in advance, you know. He is a steal."
YanYu rolled her eyes; she never looked at MingHao like that. "Aren't you his ancestor? You should look for a good partner for him.
My status and potential are just mediocre, and as for beauty, every cultivator is one. It's nothing special."
"Don't cut yourself short, young lady. Your fortune is good. That Orochi clan that you got your hands on has been here for a while now.
Even though I have seen it, no one is lucky enough to have gotten it. Potential can be increased, status? That doesn't matter.
What that lad needs is just someone loyal to stay by his side. And as his ancestor, I approve of you." He said with a smirk, while in his mind he thought, 'It's better if I can make this boy marry many women; more descendants mean my clan will flourish.'
Even though the Xueqi clan had many people scattered around, he was sure no one could come close to MingYue in fortuitous encounters. If it was them, she would care less. But if it was her own brother's children, he was sure she would take care of them.
His eyes glinted as he felt the future was bright.
Meanwhile, inside the inner world, Xue Fang was now standing in front of the egg, her palm touching the shell, feeling the smooth texture.
MingHao was standing at her side. "There is nothing much we can do now."
"I know something I can do, but will you believe me?"
"If I don't, do you think I will allow you here?"
"I will infuse part of my soul inside."
MingHao's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't get what she meant by that. But before he could respond, Xue Fang had already begun.
Her soul body began to become transparent and started pouring over toward the egg. Another array was also added to it.
It was one she usually used to create a connection to the puppet but modified. This allowed her to connect in a similar way to YanYu and MingHao, but in a different way, since she used herself in the process while both of them were through the egg.
MingHao opened his eyes and looked at Xue Fang. "Why?"
What she did would surely wound her soul. He just didn't get the reason. Even if what the ancestor said was true, he still felt this was overboard.
But Xue Fang didn't answer. She just walked past them and said, "Let's go. We have wasted enough time." Read new adventures at empire
The group began climbing the steps, as YanYu began looking at MingHao with a different gaze. What the ancestor said stuck in her mind, and she started considering it.
Finally, they reached another exit. This one was sealed tight with a metal door.
