Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 297: Incognito Visit
When Gu Xiaoxing finally flew out of the sea of fire, he ran without even looking back, and flew directly out of the Foundation Building Mountain. He forgot all about the innate black gold.
"What kind of monster is that? It's so scary!"
As Gu Xiaoxing ran, he made up his mind to never come here again. Even though he only saw a finger just now, just a finger was enough to make Gu Xiaoxing shudder!
What about Zhou Shoutai and Jishan Taoist? They are not good enough at all. Even Shen Danjun, who came to the Yu Jian Sect and had the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation, is not good enough for Gu Xiaoxing!
Although Gu Xiaoxing didn't know the combat power of the giant creature in the sea of fire, he had a feeling that only Mo Xuyou's level could be compared with it, or even higher... above the level of incarnation!
There was actually such a terrifying creature sleeping in the small wasteland. The more Gu Xiaoxing thought about , the more scared he became. He was so terrified that he flew out of the Foundation Building Mountain and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Xiaoxing flew for millions of miles before he finally stopped and gasped, "It's such a long distance... it should be okay!"
After recovering a little , Gu Xiaoxing set off again and flew towards the Soul-Devouring Sect. Because he had been unconscious for a while, he was not sure how long he had been away. He estimated that it had been at least half a month, and it was time to go back.
“Qian Xing and Xiao Zhu Huo must be worried sick…!”
Finally, one day later, Gu Xiaoxing saw the Soul-Devouring Sect's Nine-Curve Mountain from afar. Because of the Nine-Curve Mountain Formation and his previous efforts to establish his prestige, he was not worried about the sect's safety. In fact, just as he thought, everything was fine in the sect.
Everything in the lonely city was thriving. After the fermentation during the period when Gu Xiaoxing was away, coupled with the existence of Dahao Baoge, it attracted more and more caravans and forces to settle in, and the flow of people was increasing. The whole city had begun to take shape.
It is conceivable that it won’t take too long for this isolated city to develop into a big city comparable to Yunxiao City and Yujian City!
As the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect, Gu Xiaoxing naturally did not need to enter the city from the Changhe Avenue in front of Gucheng. With just one step, he crossed the sect protection formation without any hindrance and landed directly in the City Lord's Mansion of Gucheng.
At this moment in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Qianxing, wearing a gorgeous robe, sat on the main seat, flipping through some documents. However, Xu Qianxing was obviously absent-minded at this moment. There was endless worry in the depths of his eyes, and he would look outside the hall from time to time.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her without any warning. When Xu Qianxing saw the figure clearly, her body trembled and she was completely stunned.
Gu Xiaoxing slowly stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Xu Qianxing didn't say anything, but just hugged Gu Xiaoxing tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear again. After a long time, she slowly raised her head, frowned and asked, "Your hair?"
Gu Xiaoxing's hair is now almost completely white, with only a few strands of gray hair left. If you don't look at his face, he looks like an old man.
Moreover, Xu Qianxing was not really asking about the hair. Gu Xiaoxing knew that she must have discovered that his life span had shortened again. After all, the aura of old age surrounding him could not be concealed, so he coughed dryly and said, "I'm telling the truth, don't hit me!"
Xu Qianxing hesitated for a moment, thinking that there must be something fishy going on to make Gu Xiaoxing say this, but he finally nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiaoxing was really honest and told everything. Perhaps he felt that with Xu Qianxing's temper, he would not be beaten.
Xu Qianxing listened to him blabbering, and was a little angry when she heard Gu Xiaoxing wasted his lifespan to activate the life-control technique for another woman. But when she thought about how Gu Xiaoxing had done the same thing for her, she felt that she had no right to be angry. Finally, she sighed and said, "What about your lifespan?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure!" Gu Xiaoxing said with certainty.
Xu Qianxing stared at him straight, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit Gu Xiaoxing's shoulder.
"Hiss...!" Gu Xiaoxing cried out in pain, and almost subconsciously shouted: "Xu Qianxing, you are also born in the year of the dog?"
Xu Qianxing let go and looked straight at Gu Xiaoxing again, asking, "Why do you say 'also'?"
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, then blinked guiltily and said, "Did I... say that?"
Even with Xu Qianxing's good temper, he became a little angry at this time and bit it again.
"Ah...!" Gu Xiaoxing screamed immediately, and then became furious and picked up Xu Qianxing, "You forced me to do this!"
"You...what do you want to do? Don't mess around, there are a lot of people in the mansion!"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. I recently refined a wishful treasure to ensure that no one outside can see or hear it..."
"Xiaoxing, you...I...ah!"
Then a big black ball surrounded the surroundings, and no sound was heard anymore.
It was not until more than an hour later, when the black Ruyi slowly shrank, that the two figures inside reappeared. Xu Qianxing looked shy and blushed . When she thought about how she had done such a thing in broad daylight in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at Gu Xiaoxing at all. She closed her eyes and pushed him out of the hall.
Gu Xiaoxing knew that Xu Qianxing was a thin-skinned person, so he had to let her calm down by herself for now.
After driving Gu Xiaoxing away, Xu Qianxing returned to his seat, covered his face for a long time before slowly releasing it. Then he took several deep breaths, patted his face several times, and finally relaxed a little and continued to read the documents.
But this time, the sadness in her eyes was gone, and it was replaced by a sweet smile.
Gu Xiaoxing walked on the street of Gucheng, curled her lips and said: "Didn't you see me naked when I was nine years old? Now we are an old couple, and you are still so shy..."
If Xu Qianxing heard this, he would probably hit someone.
Gu Xiaoxing did not enter or leave the City Lord's Mansion through the main gate. At this moment, he felt like he was on a secret visit, and wanted to walk around in this isolated city before the news of his return spread.
The Solitary City is divided into four ring areas with the City Lord's Mansion as its center. The first ring is mostly composed of important facilities in the Solitary City, or institutions directly under the Soul-Devouring Sect, as well as some high-standard shops.
For example, the Gucheng Auction House and the Dahao Treasure Pavilion are all in this first ring. To put it simply, this is where rich people come!
As for the second ring, it is much more complicated. There are not only various shops here, but also some noble families that have moved into the city, including the Zhu family where Xiao Zhuhuo is from.
"I haven't been to the little girl's house yet. Well, it's not bad to go and take a look. I just don't know if Xiao Zhuhuo is at home..."
