Chapter 96
No, what does that mean? You didn't say your kid had started working, did you?
Nighttime, in Shen Shu'an's courtyard.
Ya Ya was greatly shocked to see Shen Shu'an practicing swordsmanship while simultaneously using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and circulating the Dragon Breath Technique and the Mysterious Ice Heavenly Heart Technique within his body.
[Ding, Host, we've both surpassed 10,000 points, the Talent Loan application has been approved, and the Xuanlong Armor is already under construction. And you've reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, so you don't need to push yourself so hard, right?]
Duck Xin looked at the pressure value of 80 points with trepidation, feeling immense pressure.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shu'an frowned and strongly disagreed, saying, "Yaya, you don't understand. I'm already studying our future opponents!"
As he spoke, Shen Shuan flicked his wrist, unleashing a crescent-shaped sword aura that slashed straight forward.
"Think of that demonic dragon, think of my sister injured in the secret realm, and then think of ascending to immortality in thirty years!"
As Shen Shu'an spoke, her eyes reddened. She gritted her teeth in anger and unleashed another sword strike, "Shocking Light and Cold Moon."
She truly had no clue whatsoever about the mission to uncover the truth about the Xuan Bird clan!
Upon hearing this, Duck fell silent. The host had clearly been so resistant to pressure before.
So that's how it is now. But now, it's because we have more and more ties that we care more and more, right?
Duck was thinking, "The chip is getting hot!"
[Host, what else did Duck say? Whatever you want, Duck will find it for you if it has it, and if it doesn't, Duck has a way!]
Shen Shuan was initially angry with herself, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh.
She touched the ground with the tip of her sword, and laughed while supporting herself on the hilt with both hands.
"Hahaha."
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Okay, I know what you mean, but please let your colleagues go!"
The duck's chip turned red, slightly embarrassed; [Oh dear, host, how did you know?]
Just then, Xuan Yi, dressed in a black outfit, pushed open the courtyard gate and looked at Shen Shu'an in the courtyard.
Seeing Shen Shu'an's face slightly flushed and her smiling as if she were thinking of something, Xuan Yi's gaze shifted downwards to the long sword held in the girl's hand.
"Shen Shu'an".
He called out softly and stepped forward.
Shen Shuan stood there, smiling at Xuan Yi, "You're here."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the chair that had been put away reappeared on the ground, where she sat down first.
"I'm a little tired from practicing swordsmanship, let's take a break."
Xuan Yi lowered his eyes slightly upon hearing this, "I'll finish quickly."
Shen Shu'an stared at her in confusion, "What are you doing? You know perfectly well that's not what I meant."
She was only being considerate this time because she was afraid he would feel like she was bothering him, but why is he like this?!
Xuan Yi looked at Shen Shu'an under the moonlight, and when he saw her bright blue eyes staring at him, he gently sat down.
"After all, it was me who delayed your training."
He spoke calmly, looking directly at Shen Shu'an.
He knew she had been working very hard lately.
"Shen Shu'an, you previously said that my trip to the Underworld would take ten years, is that true?"
Hearing Xuan Yi ask softly, Shen Shu'an felt a chill run down her spine.
It's here, it's finally here!
"Yes, so even if it takes ten years, you'd still want to go?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi's thick eyelashes drooped for a moment, but he quickly raised his eyes to look at the Soul Fire that was quietly clinging to Shen Shu'an's shoulder.
Soulfire: QAQ, please please!
"Um."
Shen Shuan frowned.
"I've gone to the underworld. If you find classes boring, you can come back to the Holy Bright Sect more often."
As Xuan Yi spoke, his gaze gently fell on Shen Shu'an's face.
At least, she had many companions in the Holy Bright Sect, unlike Dragon Island where there were no dragons of the same age, and many things were difficult to say.
"Or you could invite your sister and the others to Dragon Island; the dragons there will surely treat them well."
Shen Shu'an: "..."
Shen Shu'an fell silent, looking into the deep golden eyes opposite her, and said firmly, "Xuan Yi, you have a reason why you have to go to the Underworld."
Xuan Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."
Shen Shu'an remained silent for two seconds before saying, "Then let's go together."
Sigh, although the underworld is full of dangers, even if she dies, the Xuan Bird clan will still be in trouble, and if I remember correctly, there are quite a few treasures in the underworld.
Since that's the case, let's go.
With that thought in mind, Shen Shu'an felt much more relaxed.
Moreover, according to the original plot, the older sister and Qiao Pingsheng will also go to the underworld later.
The system then quietly interjected: "Host, since that's the case, are you really not going to consider the 'Holy Light Spell' that DuckDuck introduced to you earlier?"
[At that time, the host only needs to transform into a holy dragon, and all evil spirits will retreat wherever the holy light reaches! With the holy light unleashed, who can contend? The host will directly purify all kinds of demons and monsters, and no evil soul will dare to take a step forward!]
[Moreover, given the host's cultivation speed, he should have already reached the Golden Core stage by the time he reaches the Underworld. Won't he just be able to slaughter everyone indiscriminately then?!]
As Ya Ya spoke, she became excited, and a crackling electrical current flashed across the chip.
Damn, just thinking about it makes me feel so cool and awesome!!!
Shen Shu'an: "..."
Xuan Yi: "...?"
Xuan Yi's pupils narrowed slightly as he looked at Shen Shu'an, whose hesitation had faded and whose eyes and brows had relaxed.
Soulfire cheered, "Yay! I knew it! I knew it!"
The Soulfire turned orange-red, completely losing its previous gloomy and dark appearance.
"I...she's really great, isn't she? Yes, yes, yes! Anyway, I know you, without her you'd be so bored and lonely!"
It happily circled around Shen Shu'an, over and over, extremely pleased.
Shen Shu'an, however, was completely unaware of this. She simply took out paper and pen and began to scribble and draw plans: "But we have to go to the secret realm before going to the underworld. Aren't you and I going to the secret realm both of us?"
"Also, I dreamt last night that you, my sister, Qiao Pingsheng, and I were reunited in the underworld."
"Although Uncle Wu is forbidden from entering the underworld, he can still cross the border illegally."
"Just because we're not allowed to go doesn't mean we have to! That would be such a loss of face for our dragon race!"
"And don't get me wrong, I'm not going there just to accompany you. I also want to go to the underworld to search for the soul cultivators left behind by the Xuan Bird clan."
"I feel like something's not right about what Uncle Yan and Aunt Mei mentioned yesterday."
As Shen Shu'an finished speaking, she made the final stroke on the paper, looked at Xuan Yi, and asked, "So, what do you say?"
However, when she looked up, she saw a completely clueless face.
Seeing this, Shen Shu'an chuckled inwardly: "Hmph, isn't my charisma and charm at their peak? You're moved to tears, aren't you, Xuan Yi!"
Xuan Yi remained silent for a long time, staring blankly at Shen Shu'an, who was shrouded in the hazy firelight and moonlight.
That touch of orange-red quietly reflected a brightness he had never experienced before.
"...Shen Shu'an, you..."
"I will consult the ancestral records and ask Uncle Wu more about the past of the Xuan Niao clan."
As he spoke, he looked directly at Shen Shu'an and frowned, saying, "This trip to the Underworld will definitely not take ten years."
He won't waste her time.
"As for the time ahead, I will first send Uncle Chen to the underworld to scout out the way for us."
Shen Shu'an was slightly startled upon hearing this.
Has this guy changed his personality?
The original text clearly states that he went to the underworld alone, even though he knew it was extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Hmm, now that I think about it, the original description is actually the one that doesn't make sense.
Xuan Yi, how could he be so careless as to throw his life away?
Unless, he...
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Xuan Yi stood up, his lowered gaze making it difficult to see clearly. Before anyone could get a clear look, he turned away.
"Shen Shuan, get some rest."
His deep voice was slow and gentle, revealing no concern, still as indifferent as ever.
Shen Shuan sat in the chair, watching Xuan Yi close the courtyard gate and disappear into the darkness.
"call."
She let out a long breath, muttering to herself, "Did this guy take life and death so lightly in the original book?"
"Wow, what an interesting world! Why wouldn't I want to live? Fine, I'll live!"
Shen Shu'an stood up with her hands on her hips, put away the table and chairs, gripped her fine sword tightly, and her eyes shone with a brilliant will.
I'll live! Not just live, I'll live a life that resounds throughout heaven and earth, and I'll cultivate for thirty years to ascend to immortality!
"Clang!"
As Shen Shu'an swung his sword, as if sensing its master's will, the sword trembled and hummed, and a fully formed sword intent suddenly rose up.
It is hazy like mist, flowing like water, as bright as the moon, yet sharp in an instant.
Shen Shuan gently swung his sword, and a deep, bottomless sword mark instantly appeared on the ground.
Silently.
Shen Shuan's long hair moved without wind as she looked down at the sword marks on the ground.
I've made it! I've become a star!
The girl was silent for two seconds, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said softly, "In mid-November, on the night of Qiyun Peak, I comprehended the sword intent 'For Me,' and I wish that on my future path of cultivation, I will never forget this state of mind."
Her sword cuts down everything in the world that she dislikes.
As domineering as she is, as bright as she is.
……
But Shen Shu'an was unaware that in the Supreme Emperor's Hall of the Holy Ming Dynasty.
The patriarchs of each sect silently glanced at the girl in the mirror, then silently glanced at the patriarchs of the Holy Bright Sect who were pretending to be dead.
No, what do you mean? You didn't say your child had started learning.
Ya Ya was greatly shocked to see Shen Shu'an practicing swordsmanship while simultaneously using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and circulating the Dragon Breath Technique and the Mysterious Ice Heavenly Heart Technique within his body.
