Chapter 1413: It Does Matter

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With the sound of a blast in the sky, Xu Que shot up in the air and stepped into the Void to rush toward the South Continent.

Everyone watched his remote figure and fell into contemplation.

Although everyone present did not know what happened, they could basically tell that there was a story between Zixia Fairy and Xu Que.

“Oh my, Master Duan, you’re in trouble this time!” b.u.t.tface looked at Duan Jiude, full of glee and with a sympathetic smile.

Duan Jiude was still like an insider and could not make out the clues in the middle. He asked in confusion, “What do you mean? How can I be in trouble? Looking at the situation, shouldn’t that boy be in trouble?”

b.u.t.tface grinned and said, “Hey, do you still dare call that boy a boy? Master Duan, don’t blame Your Holiness for not reminding you. Ah, I’m afraid you have to correct yourself!”

Duan Jiude became even more confused by his words. “What do you mean? Master b.u.t.tface, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Just spit it out if you have sh*t to say!”

“Pfff!”

b.u.t.tface simply pointed his b.u.t.tocks toward Duan Jiude and let out a fart.

“F*ck!” Duan Jiude was instantly enraged and immediately brandished his fists toward b.u.t.tface.

b.u.t.tface just snickered and broke into a run, utterly c.o.c.ky. The situation suddenly evolved into a race between a man and a dog.

Everyone present blushed with shame as they watched and shook their heads, dumbfounded.

Mo Junchen stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, “It seems that this Faction Leader Xu Que is quite a philanderer… But the direction in which Zixia Fairy left before… It did not appear to be the South… Oh!”

He had spoken halfway when Mo Junchen felt a chilly glance landing on his own body, and he quickly shut his mouth.

“Guardian Mo, you seem to know too much!” Liu Jingning said with a cold smile as he stared at Mo Junchen.

“No, no, no. I was just casually making a remark. But maybe I misread, no? I must be wrong!” Mo Junchen hurriedly waved his hands and explained.

Even if the strength of his cultivation stage was higher than that of Liu Jingning by a lot, he could not help but incite the terror this time.

“Who in this world did not know that a woman rivaling another for the affection of a man was the most terrible?”

All the people present shut up one by one and dared not to say a word.

Everyone saw clearly just now that Zixia Fairy had headed in the direction of the Five Elements Mountain, not to the South Continent, even though Liu Jingning pointed Xu Que in the direction of the South Continent. A clever person would know to shut up.

Moreover, this person in front of his eyes was the demoness who angrily rebuked the Four Great Continents in those days. No one would dare to rat on her.

“I merely stretched my body. I didn’t say that the woman was going to the South Continent.” Liu Jingning answered languidly and then directly turned around to leave.

Although she knew that Xu Que had close female friends everywhere, Xu Que now exercised restraint, which made Liu Jingning think that she could ease he mind; however, she did not expect him to secretly stash Zixia Fairy.

The crucial point was that she was here worrying about Xu Que for more than 40 days, but once he came out, he was anxious to go find Zixia Fairy. It was no wonder Liu Jingning was displeased.

Of course, no matter how displeased she was, it would not have any impact on Xu Que when she pointed in the direction of the South Continent.

Even she could deduce with her cultivation stage that Zixia Fairy’s presence was leading to the Five Elements Mountain, not to mention Xu Que.

If Xu Que was heading in the direction of the South Continent, he would soon realize the loss of Zixia Fairy’s presence and would certainly find the right direction again.

And in fact, that was what happened. Xu Que had just rushed out not too far away when he realized that there was no trace of Zixia Fairy’s presence on the way.

Something was wrong. Even the Celestial Burial Valley had remnants of her presence, which was unexpected.

“On my, this little demoness, she’s really…” Xu Que guessed the reason instantly and smiled bitterly.

He was also aware that, by doing this, Liu Jingning would certainly be displeased, but there was no other way. He had done worse things in the past and felt guilty toward Zixia Fairy.

He did not have this kind of thinking in those days. He was only curious about trying out the Red Rope of Marriage. Coupled with the contradiction between him and Zixia Fairy, he disguised his ident.i.ty. As to what happened in the Illusory Realm after, it was really fate.

“Since it was providence, what could I have done?” he reasoned.

But now that he had made a mistake, it was really time to redeem himself and shoulder the responsibility.

Before Zixia Fairy left, she had made the remark that “the Joker is already dead,” which proved that she had not accepted the fact that Xu Que was the Joker, but she preferred that the Joker was dead than to face Xu Que, indicating that she was really hurt.

Once a woman, who had cut off all emotional ties for her cultivation for countless years, fell in love, she would only be purer and more innocent than the first awakening of love. Xu Que had once given her a beautiful experience by a.s.suming the ident.i.ty of the Joker. Now that she knew the truth, it was the same as if the beautiful experience of those days was brutally torn to shreds and replaced by a b.l.o.o.d.y truth.

It would be hard for anyone to accept.

Therefore, Xu Que was even more guilt-ridden. It was so serious that his heart spasmed with sharp twinges, so much so that he had to find Zixia Fairy regardless of everything.

“Did she go to the Five Elements Mountain again?”

Xu Que’s Mind Sense pervaded the world, and soon he sensed the presence of Zixia Fairy. He was immediately astounded.

He could not figure out why Zixia Fairy would actually go to the Five Elements Mountain once again. That place had become a place of sadness for her

“Alas!”

Xu Que let out a long sigh and shook his head. “This is the first time I feel that the attractiveness of a person cannot save everything!”

Soon, he changed direction with a whoosh and integrated his physical strength with Celestial Core Power to accelerate to the extreme. He quickly flew to the Five Elements Mountain.

Along the way, Xu Que constantly moved forward, following the traces of Zixia Fairy’s presence.

He still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Because Zixia Fairy had not hid her presence, he thought she might be waiting for him to locate her.

In the end, Xu Que finally rushed to the Water Nation.

In the wilderness near Snow City, at the entrance to the underground Illusory Realm, Xu Que stopped.

His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably as he looked straight ahead.

A familiar shadow stood in front of him. The figure’s s.p.a.cious Taoist robe on its body and the fluttering long black hair indeed belonged to Zixia Fairy.

“Er…” Xu Que opened his mouth, and his throat moved slightly. He had just made a little sound but abruptly stopped.

He suddenly found that he did not know what to say.

Looking at her from behind, Xu Que realized that any words at this moment would appear weak and feeble.

At the same time, the shadow ahead of him also slowly turned around.

She was still so beautiful and had otherworldly manners, like a work of art, pleasing to the eye. It made him especially want to cherish her, but he didn’t dare to have the presumptuous idea of possessing her.

Her gaze was cold. There was nothing in her eyes except indifference.

She looked apathetically at Xu Que and did not speak. It was like she was not looking at him at all but rather staring into s.p.a.ce.

Xu Que held back for a long time before he finally took the initiative to speak up out of guilt. “Ah… Azi, I haven’t seen you for a long time!”

He had only once used “Azi” to address her for a lifetime in the Illusory Realm.

“What’s the matter?” Zixia Fairy also spoke up. Her voice was incomparably flat as if there was no fluctuation in her mood.

“You should know why I’m here. I want to say I’m sorry, but I feel it’s shameless of me to say it. But it is even more shameless of me not to say it, so now… I really don’t know what to say!” Xu Que said with a wry smile as he slowly walked forward.

Zixia Fairy shook her head and said calmly, “It doesn’t matter!”

Xu Que’s footsteps suddenly slowed. “It doesn’t matter?” he thought. The expression on his face became stiff.

The calmness of Zixia Fairy immediately made him feel immensely uneasy.

“It does matter! The Joker is…” Xu Que shouted.

But he did not finish speaking. A cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes and a murderous aura rushed at him head on.

At this moment, Xu Que stood dumbstruck and forgot to dodge.

He found that the sword in Zixia Fairy’s hands stopped in front of him and was only a sliver away from his throat.

Xu Que was speechless.
