Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 740 - 324: The Mysterious Huang Ningshang_2

"This is common knowledge." Lu Jin'an's face remained unchanged.

After all, whether it's Transcendence, the Alien Race, or the world before his reincarnation... they all prove this point.

"I won't talk much with you, just one question." Huang Ningshang traced circles with her finger, "How was Yunding born?"

Listening to Huang Ningshang's voice, Lu Jin'an first confirmed one thing in his mind: Huang Ningshang had already transcended.

She should have gone outside, just like when the Human Clan still had the concept of ascending to the Immortal World long ago.

If that's the case, then Huang Ningshang most likely... didn't die.

Thinking this, Lu Jin'an began to answer her question: "Like a tree, from a seed to a towering tree."

Huang Ningshang suddenly reached out and touched his head. Lu Jin'an was stunned for a moment, then quickly tilted his head to the side, avoiding her hand: "Senior, please have some respect."

Huang Ningshang looked at him with an amused expression, and Lu Jin'an slightly frowned and turned his gaze away: "So, what does this question have to do with your purpose here?"

"Do you know why the Dark Matter of the Southern Great Realm cannot be purified?" Huang Ningshang withdrew her hand and threw out another question.

"Spiritual Power is inferior to Dark Matter," Lu Jin'an glanced at the skeleton of the Phoenix. "But Dark Matter is not as potent as the Demon Energy left by the Phoenix on the Parasol Tree."

"That's one reason." Huang Ningshang slowly spoke, "Another reason is... although the Southern Great Realm is still part of Yunding, in some respects, it is no longer considered a part of it."

Lu Jin'an was taken aback and blurted out: "Cut off a limb to survive?"

Huang Ningshang stretched out her right hand again, and Lu Jin'an preemptively dodged.

"Hmm?" Huang Ningshang's tone grew more intense, but this tone couldn't scare Lu Jin'an; however, the invisible pressure left him unable to move.

Huang Ningshang touched Lu Jin'an's head once more, and Lu Jin'an only felt uncomfortable all over. How could his Senior Sister's mother be so fond of him at first sight, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law?

Looking at Huang Ningshang's eyes, as ruby-like as his Senior Sister's, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but wonder if this mother-in-law had observed him through the river of time?

After all, she seemed to know him quite well.

But then he thought it unlikely.

Because if Huang Ningshang had observed him earlier, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly to his harsh treatment of his Senior Sister.

Forget it, this question isn't important.

Besides, other than his older sister, having one more or one less person doesn't make much of a difference.

Constantly worrying about things that can't be changed is pointless self-torment.

Lu Jin'an decided not to resist any longer and waited quietly for Huang Ningshang's next words.

"Younger than Qingyue by two years..." Huang Ningshang smiled gently, "Qingyue is withdrawn; you'll need to take care of her."

Lu Jin'an turned to look at her, "I would do that even without you telling me."

Huang Ningshang smiled without saying a word.

Lu Jin'an stared at her face, and after a while, he slowly asked, "You didn't finish what you were saying before..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jin'an felt something hard in Huang Ningshang's hand above his head. He paused, and Huang Ningshang had already opened her hand in front of him, revealing a seed of black and white.

A seed?

Lu Jin'an's thoughts raced, and combined with Huang Ningshang's previous words, an unbelievable idea formed in his mind: "Southern Great Realm?"

"You could say it's the reason there has been no Transcendence for tens of thousands of years." Huang Ningshang said casually, "Do you understand?"

Lu Jin'an nodded, acknowledging that this was indeed the seed of the Southern Great Realm.

In this case, the external rumors of Sect Master Zheng Dongliu's inability to transcend are somewhat biased.

Sect Master Zheng is indeed dedicated to the Human Clan, but he also truly cannot enter the realm of Transcendence.

The Yunding Continent is incomplete.

But what is the direct connection between that and the inability to transcend, Lu Jin'an couldn't figure out for a moment.

Moreover, if the Southern Great Realm detached from the Yunding Continent, does it not count as a part of the whole?

Would there be new seeds?

Or is it...

Lu Jin'an raised his head again to look into Huang Ningshang's eyes, "Is this the reason you came here voluntarily?"

A woman who could even slay a transcendent Phoenix, achieving such things should... not be too strange?

"Not exactly." Huang Ningshang took his wrist, placed the seed in his palm, and slowly closed his fingers around it, "This is my purpose."

Feeling the warmth from Huang Ningshang's hand, Lu Jin'an paused for a moment before asking his first question in response, "Are you not a distracted spirit, but a part of yourself?"

"Aren't you afraid of what might be hidden inside?" Huang Ningshang looked at him, almost smiling.

Lu Jin'an indifferently replied, "My sister gave me the 'Great Freedom Visualization Technique,' and I practiced it just the same."

"Hmm..." Huang Ningshang withdrew her hands, "After all, this thing is more useful than small worlds like Grotto Heaven or Secret Realms."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an's pupils contracted, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the 'seed.'

"I must say, your idea is quite clever." Huang Ningshang continued speaking to herself, "On this point, you are as bold as she is, but she is a bit more unconventional."

Lu Jin'an closed his eyes, thought, and then asked, "Are you using me for revenge?"

"Yes." Huang Ningshang gazed at the colorful light cocoon around Mu Qingyue, "But the reason is different from what you think."

Lu Jin'an opened his eyes, "Then what is it?"

"Let's go back to the initial question." Huang Ningshang stood up and walked back to the cage, "Why did Lu Yunzhu choose to make a cage for me?"

Still sitting in the same place, Lu Jin'an looked at her, "Putting aside cultivation and strength, generally speaking, a cage is for imprisonment.

The reason for imprisonment... must be for something she believes is a 'crime.'

"So, in her mind, what counts as a 'crime'?" Huang Ningshang asked softly.

Lu Jin'an's eyelid twitched. Deep down, he already had an answer, but because of this answer, he found himself unable to say anything and could only look at Huang Ningshang in disbelief.

For he knew clearly what Lu Yunzhu considered to be a 'crime.'

Even though he now got along well with his Master, Nanzhi, and others, he believed Lu Yunzhu was certainly unhappy about this.

Because as a child, she wouldn't let him play with girls unless they had her permission.

And since Huang Ningshang and Lu Yunzhu knew each other long before, so...

Lu Jin'an glanced at Mu Qingyue, but with just one glance, he dismissed the ridiculous notion that had arisen in his mind.

Not to mention that his Senior Sister and he had no resemblance whatsoever, for cultivators, recognizing blood relations is straightforward.

Therefore, it was fundamentally impossible that Huang Ningshang used the Time Path to take something of his.

With that impossibility ruled out, another possibility remained.

It was 'premeditation.'

Huang Ningshang had a 'premeditation' towards him, which incited his sister's hostility.

But that possibility seemed absurd no matter how he considered it.

Besides that perverted Lu Yunzhu, who else could do something so outrageous?

Moreover, his Senior Sister was born long before him.

If that's the case, then Huang Ningshang was just bluffing him, with such wicked humor?

But if not, what's the reason for his older sister putting up a cage for Huang Ningshang...

Lu Jin'an stopped his scattered thoughts; why was he overthinking this?

As long as he confirmed there wasn't anything ridiculous happening, what did the open and covert skirmishes between Huang Ningshang and Lu Yunzhu have to do with him?

He might not have even been born then!

Yeah, thinking about such things indeed has no significance.

Lu Jin'an exhaled lightly, looking steadily at Huang Ningshang, though his expression showed slight surprise.

Huang Ningshang was extremely beautiful, similar to his Master but different; she was a mature woman with a devilish charm in both her looks and aura.

Her dark eyebrows curved like willow leaves, and her alluring phoenix eyes seemed shrouded in a misty haze, her jade-like nose as delicate as his Master's, yet her tightly closed, vermillion lips were unlike his Master's, less bewitching.

At the moment, those tightly closed red lips seemed to be keeping some indescribable secret.

Like her red phoenix eyes, drifting with fog, cold and aloof, impossible to penetrate.

Lu Jin'an frowned slightly, then watched as Huang Ningshang suddenly chuckled softly, like a bewitching flower blossoming.

"It's fun and interesting to tease little kids, no wonder Lu Yunzhu enjoys it~"
