Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 738 - 323: Huang Ningshang and Lu Yunzhu_2

The woman smiled without speaking, and Mu Qingyue frowned slightly: "So, are you still alive?"

The woman did not answer the question, she just raised her hand and pointed at the skeleton above: "He... was killed by me, Huang Ningshang."

"So mutual destruction?" Mu Qingyue asked rather directly.

Huang Ningshang looked at Mu Qingyue and softly asked: "Do you hope that I am alive?"

Mu Qingyue looked at her face, which resembled her aunt's to some extent, and said without changing her expression: "I hope so."

Lu Jin'an listened to the conversation between this mother and daughter, his mind racing.

If the Phoenix was killed by Huang Ningshang during its weak period in Nirvana, then was the call of the Parasol Tree also Huang Ningshang's handiwork?

Which means, even if they don't deal with the Fire Phoenix and the others, the final inheritance will fall into Senior Sister's hands.

But Huang Ningshang probably didn't completely master the Parasol Tree; otherwise, she wouldn't discriminate against Senior Sister's Half-demon Bloodline during the entry process.

So, is the Phoenix's inheritance still around?

If it is, is it in Huang Ningshang's possession?

Lu Jin'an looked at Huang Ningshang, who was watching Mu Qingyue with gentle eyes.

He could understand Huang Ningshang's feelings, but dragging it on like this wasn't a solution.

"Senior, can this wisp of your soul leave here?" Lu Jin'an spoke up, "If you can get out, there are many ways in the world to preserve a soul."

Huang Ningshang tilted her head to look at Lu Jin'an: "Senior?"

"Mother-in-law," Lu Jin'an promptly corrected himself.

"Mother-in-law? Never mind..." Huang Ningshang shook her head gently, "If I leave here, this wisp of my soul will no longer be here."

Lu Jin'an listened in silence, wondering why these great figures always liked to say ambiguous things?

Even if pursued further, they would just smile without speaking.

Were they worried about being overheard by the Upper Realm?

Lu Jin'an sighed softly in his heart and turned to ask: "Then the inheritance..."

"Is with me." Huang Ningshang gently raised her right hand, colorful divine light swirling in her palm, a hint of an array circulating within: "'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' is a pupil skill inherent to the Phoenix, and logically speaking, it cannot be inherited by the bloodline of a non-pure-blooded Phoenix...

Ah, I put a lot of effort into making it a pupil skill suitable for Qingyue."

To be able to alter what is inherited from a demon beast's bloodline... has Huang Ningshang already transcended?

But if she truly transcended, could the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan do anything to her?

Is she dead or not?

While pondering, Lu Jin'an noticed Huang Ningshang beckoning to Mu Qingyue: "Qingyue, come refine it."

Mu Qingyue turned her head to look at Lu Jin'an.

Lu Jin'an gently nodded, gripping the trump card bestowed by his master in his hand, prepared to act at the slightest sign of trouble.

Even though Huang Ningshang in front of him seemed to have transcended...

"Truly obedient to his words, tsk." Huang Ningshang looked at the approaching Mu Qingyue, "First, wipe your face."

Mu Qingyue slightly frowned: "Does it matter?"

"I don't want to see it," Huang Ningshang said plainly, "You should understand a mother's feelings."

Mu Qingyue formed a spell to clean the stains on her face, and Huang Ningshang pointed her fingers at Mu Qingyue's brow, a blaze of colorful light erupting around them, causing Mu Qingyue to involuntarily close her eyes.

Gazing at Mu Qingyue's serene visage, Huang Ningshang reached out with her left hand to gently caress Mu Qingyue's cheek, her eyes tender as she murmured softly: "You've grown."

Lu Jin'an did not disturb them, idly looking around, when suddenly Huang Ningshang's ghostly voice reached him: "Isn't my daughter beautiful?"

Lu Jin'an was momentarily stunned, looking at Huang Ningshang, he honestly replied: "Beautiful."

Pausing for a moment, he asked the question that bothered him: "How do you know about me?"

Huang Ningshang stepped towards Lu Jin'an, floating across from him at eye level.

Unconsciously, Lu Jin'an took two steps back, leaning slightly backward, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Because he had caught the scent emanating from Huang Ningshang.

Where did a residual soul get a fragrance?

A trace of amusement flickered in Huang Ningshang's eyes: "I say, I watched you grow up too, would you believe that?"

"I don't." Lu Jin'an shook his head.

Huang Ningshang watched him for a while, then spoke softly: "Lu Yunzhu."

Hearing this name from her lips, Lu Jin'an's expression changed, recalling the reason he saw in Taishi Chong's Sea of Consciousness for entering the Southern Great Realm.

"You know my older sister?"

"More than know." Huang Ningshang took his hand and turned towards a cage resembling a birdcage, and although Lu Jin'an tried to break free, he couldn't escape even with all his strength from the hold of Huang Ningshang's wisp of soul.

"Guess who prepared this cage?"

Listening to Huang Ningshang's words, Lu Jin'an paused, then tentatively asked: "My older sister?"

"Correct guess." Huang Ningshang tilted her head to look at him: "Excessive, isn't it?"

It really is...

Lu Jin'an frowned: "You're not deceiving me, are you? My older sister's strength is what it is, and yours is what it is. Could she really trap you? And in a place like this?"

Huang Ningshang laughed softly: "You could try to imagine how strong she truly is, but... I'm not teasing you anymore."

?

Lu Jin'an turned to look at Huang Ningshang's side profile: "What do you mean?"

"The cage was built by her, but it was my request, and I came here voluntarily."

Lu Jin'an's mind had never raced so quickly before: "My older sister is only nine years older than me, and now you're telling me she has known you for a long time?"

After a brief pause, he continued: "Even if my older sister and you both excel in the Time Path, within this time and space, even if you can use time to see scenes others can't, altering, and communicating with them is extraordinarily difficult."

Lu Jin'an took a deep breath: "This is the Divine Tao, older than any race's 'Dao.'

Even transcendent Immortals haven't done anything to the Yunding Continent...

Lu Jin'an didn't believe those transcendent beings never wanted to make Yunding Continent their backyard, yet none succeeded!

He didn't know the reasons for their failures, but one must be that their power wasn't enough.

Just like the Buddhist Sect's Qinglian Cave Heaven.

Neither the Great Infinite Buddha nor Emperor Shitian could completely control it.

Being a Divine Concealment couldn't fully grasp a Grotto Heaven, let alone the vast, nearly perfect variety of Paths on the Yunding Continent.

"You have some deep thoughts on the Dao." Huang Ningshang approvingly nodded, then asked a very sharp question: "Have you used the 'Great Freedom Visualization Technique' to see Lu Yunzhu?"

Lu Jin'an's eyelid twitched, was Senior Sister's biological mother really so well-informed?

Did his sister tell her?

But this question from Huang Ningshang...

He had tried it before, but saw nothing.

"Saw nothing, right?" Huang Ningshang suddenly said.

"..."

Lu Jin'an remained silent, feeling like a naked child before an expert in the Time Path.

"Don't misunderstand, I haven't used the Time Path." Huang Ningshang smiled at him, "Because I know that even if you look, you'll see nothing, it has nothing to do with strength...

After all, even I can't see it."

Lu Jin'an remained silent, Huang Ningshang slowly spoke: "Won't you ask why?"

"Would you tell me?"

"At least here, no one can hear what I say." Huang Ningshang raised her other hand to hold the cage's bars: "Because she has no past, nor future, only the present, only the now."

"Hmm?" Lu Jin'an looked at Huang Ningshang blankly: "What, what do you mean?"

Huang Ningshang, seeing the clear yet stupid expression on his face, couldn't help but smile: "This is indeed beyond your reach now, I won't say more...

Saying it out loud wouldn't benefit your comprehension."

"I can only put it this way." Huang Ningshang withdrew her gaze, a tone of indefinable meaning in her voice: "This is the strength of Lu Yunzhu."

Lu Jin'an felt a headache coming on and simply decided to change the topic: "Are you collaborating with my older sister?"

"Yes."

"Then are you dead or not?"

"Guess?"

"Too lazy to guess." Lu Jin'an looked down: "May I be released?"

"Afraid Qingyue would see?"

"Yes." Lu Jin'an stated directly, "Even if I am Qingyue's Daoist couple, even if you want to make up for your maternal love to her, there's no need to treat me nicely, after all, you can't leave here.

Moreover, my older sister built this cage for you, I don't think you would feel no resentment toward her."

"Makes sense." Huang Ningshang nodded, her smile suddenly becoming a bit playful.

"Then why not guess why she caged me?"
