Chapter 1109: Chapter 608: Miss Yun Doesn’t Care About the Barrier (Double Length, Part 2)

In the long-gone periods of darkness, for those remnants, when an utterly calm female voice echoed in that pitch-black space, when a woman in a long dress appeared with graceful steps, it already declared their death.

Such eyes, such posture, such a sense of oppression.

This is truly a woman who was born to belong in the Frosty Heaven.

"But now..."

Miss Aqing’s eyebrows held a trace of amusement as she looked at the woman before her and remarked, "You can also... show such an expression now."

"...?" Shi Qingjun tilted her head, not understanding what she meant, but Miss Aqing smiled even more joyfully.

"Yes, exactly this expression."

Miss Aqing adored Shi Qingjun’s perplexed expression and outer demeanor, as if the contrast of the Nine Heavens Immortal falling into mortal dust, it’s hard not to like.

Alright.

Can’t keep thinking like this, if she were to fall for her again, it would be embarrassing.

A good horse doesn’t eat back grass.

As a girl from Flower Moon Building, at most, she ties a pair of rabbit ears and nibbles on grass nearby.

"Let it be." Miss Aqing smiled and stood up straight, waving her hand toward Shi Qingjun.

Today’s meeting ends at this moment.

Shi Qingjun paused slightly.

Actually, she had some matters she wanted to discuss with Miss Aqing, like the recent turbulence of the Demon Race, or the possible instability of Qing Province’s great barrier...

But seeing Miss Aqing’s state now, it wasn’t the time to discuss these topics. With the spring-like look on her face, Miss Aqing likely wasn’t in the mood to listen.

Slightly shaking her head, Shi Qingjun received Miss Aqing’s courtesy and thus parted ways with her, returning in suspended time to be surrounded by the girls of Flower Moon Building below, then looking up at the stage.

The latter did not lift the time suspension; she just quietly watched Shi Qingjun, then slowly donned her outer garment and picked up the longsword again.

"You like watching sword dance, then let me perform for you." Miss Aqing said, drawing her sword.

Indeed.

Performing dance for her was inevitable sooner or later; getting accustomed was good.

Moreover, Miss Aqing was very happy, perhaps because she was complimented as a beautiful person.

After White Sword Cyan Radiance, the woman’s graceful posture followed, with traces of sweat gliding down Miss Aqing’s collarbone, descending to the ground.

Miss Aqing’s unique charm was displayed perfectly at this moment.

"..."

Below the stage, Shi Qingjun blinked her eyes.

Specifically performed for herself.

What is this woman doing?

But...

Shi Qingjun, who had developed an initial sense of aesthetics, watched the woman on stage lightly step her lotus stride, seeming like a blossoming flower in midsummer, a splendid woman, and unknowingly, a small curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This is a very good dance.

Just like the flowers she loved.

Unexpectedly very fond of it.

Just as Miss Aqing thought.

Her relationship with Shi Qingjun was already different from before, and would only develop toward strange places in the future.

——

——

On stage.

Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian watched as Miss Aqing suddenly started dancing, ending with Yun Qian’s confusion and Xu Chang’an’s helplessness.

When the previous dim light suddenly spread out, Xu Chang’an noticed something unusual.

After the light dissipated, everyone around him was immobilized, wrapped in a layer of flowing light.

Including Wen Li.

Including Zhu Pingniang.

Even Li Zhibai...

The entire world seemed to have suspended time, and then... only he and Miss Yun remained normal, able to speak normally...

Naturally, he was surprised, naturally wanted to know what was happening, but soon, Xu Chang’an didn’t need to wonder anymore.

Because Shi Qingjun had stepped onto the banquet stage.

That ’Chaoyun Sect Senior’ who had gifted her the jade pendant and caused the teacher incredible tension suddenly found the dancing Miss Aqing, and from that moment, Xu Chang’an realized the barrier was most likely unfolded by her, which made sense, considering the teacher’s tense attitude... the teacher should be inferior to her.

But...

Xu Chang’an did not dwell on why Shi Qingjun sought out Miss Aqing; he was merely puzzled why everyone was stopped, yet he and Miss Yun were unaffected?

Because she deliberately bypassed them?

No, there seems to be no reason for that.

Then... is it due to his own talent?

Xu Chang’an knew he always possessed the ability to disregard barriers, the teacher instructed her not to reveal this... but, his ability, could it truly disregard a barrier that even enveloped Li Zhibai...

Hard to say.

Furthermore.

Xu Chang’an looked beside him at Yun Qian, who lowered her eyes as if dozing, blinking.

If he wasn’t affected, it was fine, but why was Miss Yun unaffected too?

Actually, after the time suspension began, to avoid exposing anything, Xu Chang’an refrained from speaking during the dialogue between Miss Aqing and Shi Qingjun.

And Yun Qian was equally silent, not uttering a word—well, with Yun Qian, perhaps it wasn’t telepathy, but that Miss Yun was indifferent.

Replace with ordinary women, seeing everyone around immobilized, it’s unclear what expressions they’d wear or how anxious they might be.

But Yun Qian acted as if she hadn’t seen it.

Since he hadn’t inquired, Miss Yun merely sat quietly, like him, watching the two on the banquet stage, even... yawned out of boredom.

This was Miss Yun.

"Miss, when something like this happens, you’re not even scared." Xu Chang’an said softly.

"...?" Yun Qian tilted her head.

Should she be scared?

"I was just casually speaking." Xu Chang’an sighed, that’s precisely why she is Yun Qian.

"After watching this, don’t you have any thoughts?" Xu Chang’an said, somewhat hesitantly: "This is the Immortal Sect’s method... However, since the senior is also from Chaoyun Sect, should we report to the teacher... such mystical methods, it’s my first time witnessing, is this what the books refer to as an Immortal-like Person?"

"..." Yun Qian didn’t say anything.

Thoughts?

She truly did have some.

For instance, Miss Aqing indeed stands on her side, or something.

Yun Qian believed the stability of the world was necessary, which would allow her to enjoy herself more.

Miss Aqing surprisingly shared this thought, even willing to transform into a world fragment, to repair this damaged Heavenly Dao, Miss Aqing also believed only when the world is stable could her husband enjoy himself.

This alone made Yun Qian look at Miss Aqing with new eyes, adding a few more layers of fondness.

By the way...

When she eliminated Demon Sect’s first seat, she hadn’t considered the disruption brought about by fighting, she simply wanted to eat what her husband made for supper.

In any case, it’s not related to Miss Yun.

As for the Immortal-like Person?

Yun Qian didn’t understand this term, but her husband was talking about this temporary external influence on the time flow.

Yun Qian extended her hand to touch the strips of substantial seals in the air, at the moment her finger touched them, the seals transformed into mist rising upward, then condensed at a higher location. Cold wind squeezed through the crevice of the window, entering the radiance Miss Aqing emitted, immediately solidified into pale light.

Yun Qian reached out to touch the light, immediately a cold stream blew along her arm to her neck, the chill made Yun Qian’s body shrink naturally for a moment.

Ah.

She didn’t open this barrier too much.

Luckily, she stopped in time, preventing the barrier from being completely opened.

Speaking of.

Yun Qian blinked, considering this barrier useful, since it blocked the cold wind, keeping it warm.

With Miss Aqing around in winter, it seems there’s no need for a fire basin?

"Now I understand why the teacher was previously so nervous." Xu Chang’an sighed, as he slightly rubbed the glazed jade at his waist: "This senior can accomplish such feats, perhaps... already nearing ascension."

Xu Chang’an didn’t know ascension no longer existed; he previously saw a celestial tribulation, thinking that overcoming the tribulation thunder could lead to ascension.

Though this thought wasn’t confirmed. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Otherwise...

Maybe people could truly ascend after all.
