Fck! Why are you yelling? You scared me and made me jump with fright,
Buttface, who was standing behind Xu Que, jumped up suddenly and yelled at Xu Que with an infuriated look on his face.
Shut up!
Xu Que turned around and berated him,
You are on hallowed ground. So please keep your silence, and don’t disturb the fairy.
Fck! Lad, have you gone crazy? You didn’t say this before.
Buttface’s eyes were wide open. He found this whole situation unbelievable!
Xu Que had unexpectedly called Xuanyuan Wanrong a fairy. Buttface was dumbfounded by his attitude.
What don’t you understand? This fairy is so noble and outstanding. This is why we must treat her with reverence, and we mustn’t affront her,
Xu Que spoke solemnly while casting a glance at the ice-cold coffin underground.
Buttface instantly understood the implication of Xu Que’s glance, and he had an idea. He shouted at the top of his lungs,
I’ve just recalled that this is Fairy Xuanyuan’s residence. Lad, get out of the way, I must kneel three times and kowtow nine times to her.
The corners of Xu Que’s mouth twitched, and he cursed to himself. He had just realized that he wasn’t as good as Buttface at boot-licking.
SWOOSH!
At this moment, the Firestorm Wheels in the System storage calmed down. The two souls curbed their murderous auras and weren’t agitated any longer.
It was obvious that this meant that Xuanyuan Wanrong’s murderous aura had also disappeared, and she wasn’t targeting Xu Que any longer.
Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief and said to himself,
That was a close call!
He had almost forgotten that the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels were Xuanyuan Wanrong’s parents. This had been just a guess, but it seemed from the current situation that it was likely true.
A while ago, he’d offended Xuanyuan Wanrong, and this was why the two souls had released their murderous aura targeting Xu Que. It was obvious that he as the impostor child had been defeated by the real child.
Is your body able to withstand the furnace’s power?
All of a sudden, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s ice-cold, yet sweet-sounding, voice echoed in Xu Que’s mind.
She was transmitting her voice to him. She was surprised that Xu Que could come over without sustaining any harm.
However, her words demonstrated that Buttface’s previous guess had been correct. Xuanyuan Wanrong was aware of the presence of the Worldly Furnace, and she knew that the Spirit Core had shifted to another region. However, she still hadn’t come out, and it was obvious that she wasn’t able to break this region’s restriction spells.
Huh? What furnace?
Xu Que started playing dumb, and he wore a confused look as he questioned her.
The furnace’s power,
Xuanyuan Wanrong replied indifferently.
Xu Que said,
What power?
The furnace’s power,
Xuanyuan Wanrong repeated herself.
I know what you’re talking about,
Xu Que nodded.
Xuanyuan Wanrong had discerned that he was just playing dumb, and this was why she didn’t bother questioning him further. She realized that he didn’t want to speak about this.
In her eyes, this guy had many secrets and all kinds of strange stories. In the past, his cultivation stage had been just at the Great Vehicle stage, but he’d still managed to escape from in front of her eyes. Now, many years had passed and he’d already advanced into the peak Earth Celestial stage. It really didn’t seem strange for him to be able to resist the power of the furnace.
However, this also meant that the Worldly Furnace’s complete operation hadn’t started yet. Once it was activated, the blood of all beings would be sacrificed, and there wouldn’t be any escape from it.
It’s a pity that you have come so late, you won’t manage to break this land’s restriction spell in several hours with your current power. If you had accepted to lend me a part of your life span in the past, I wouldn’t have had to pull you into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Now, it’s too late for anything,
Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke calmly as if she didn’t care about her imminent death.
She assumed that Xu Que knew everything. She wouldn’t be able to escape after the Worldly Furnace was activated, and Xu Que would also be implicated. He would die with her.
Why don’t we discuss this? Just look at me, I’m still so young and handsome. I have promising future prospects. Why did you have to drag me down to die with you? Why don’t you come up with a way to erase my name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi,
Xu Que said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was still within the coffin, frowned. She was surprised by Xu Que’s indifference. After all, this was related to his death or survival.
As for erasing his name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi…
She could only shake her head,
If I was able to alter the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I would’ve erased my name long ago.
Then let’s change the conditions. I can save you, but you must satisfy three of my requests,
Xu Que spoke and raised three fingers.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was taken aback by this.
Can you lift this land’s seal? This is impossible. There are only several hours left for the Worldly Furnace to start complete operation. How can you lift the seal in this short time?
Don’t worry about this. I have my own way to achieve it. But you must take an Inner Demon Oath that you will unconditionally satisfy three of my requests,
Xu Que spoke quite forcefully.
Xuanyuan Wanrong stayed calm, and she looked at Xu Que for a moment before she closed her eyes and said,
I don’t have to agree to this. If you want to live, you have to lift this land’s seal.
Xuanyuan Wanrong’s implication was quite obvious.
I will lie here, and it’s up to you to save me or not. If you save me, both of us will live, and if you don’t save me, we will die together.
If an ordinary person had run into such a fierce person, they could only compromise. After all, one’s life was important.
But Xu Que had never been an ordinary person, and no one was fiercer and crazier than him.
Fine, I won’t continue living. I will die with you,
Xu Que replied bluntly and stuck two fingers together. Several wisps of Celestial Core Power formed illusory swords that swept a boulder.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
As the illusory swords hit the boulder, they turned it into a rectangular stele. Several crooked words were carved on it that said, Xu Que’s Grave.
Soon after, he lay on the ground and raised one leg over the other and propped his head up with his hand. He faced Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was in the ice coffin, and said with a smile.
In any case, if I save you, I’ll be troubled by you many times. So why don’t we just die together? I may not even necessarily die, and, as a matter of fact, I still have a treasure that will protect my life one time. I will gamble with you, and let’s see whether that treasure can help withstand this calamity.
Xu Que wasn’t boasting this time. He remembered that the System had a one-time use function that would unconditionally protect him from death one time. He could only use it one time in his life, and this was why Xu Que had never used it. After all, this was only his second life, and he wouldn’t use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
But this time, he wanted to face Xuanyuan Wanrong stubbornly and strongly until the end.
There isn’t anything in the world that can resist a Worldly Furnace or the Heavenly Book of Taiyi’s Destiny Link. You’ve assumed that everything is so simple,
Xuanyuan Wanrong replied calmly.
I will then gamble with you. It isn’t like I’ve never lost. In the past, Germany’s national team didn’t even get into the next round in a small competition. So, why do I have to fear this?
Xu Que wore an indifferent look as if he didn’t care about life and death, and he spoke carelessly.
Xuanyuan Wanrong got very quiet. She didn’t believe that Xu Que really dared to gamble with her.
But also she didn’t want to die, and she still had a wish that she’d had all her life. She lived just for this objective, and she must accomplish it.
Speak! What are your three requests?
In the end, Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke calmly and her voice reverberated in Xu Que’s mind.
As a WHOOSH echoed out, Xu Que jumped up from the ground and patted his body to dust it off. Soon after, he said with a smile,
My first request is that I want you to satisfy ten of my requests.
