Chapter 476: Chapter 476: A Cup of Wine in the Peach and Plum Breezes, A Lantern in the Rain at Night on the Rivers and Lakes for Ten Years. (5th update)
Xue An took out two bottles of concentrated Tian Yuan and poured them into Zhu Ruyan and Lu Xunxue.
This stuff was even more useful than Foundation Establishment Pills, it was literally a miraculous medicine that could cure illnesses and strengthen the body when there was none.
A moment later.
Zhu Ruyan was the first to recover and sat up with a flip, not caring about anything else, and ran straight to her senior sister Lu Xunxue.
At this moment, Lu Xunxue’s face was deathly pale, the bones in the left half of her arm had already been dissected by the Azure Dragon, and the wound on her shoulder was also extremely severe.
Even though she had taken Tian Yuan, such serious injuries couldn’t possibly heal in a short moment.
With tears streaming down her face, Zhu Ruyan choked up and said, “Senior sister.”
Lu Xunxue chuckled and shook her head, “You’re not calling me Miss Lu anymore?”
Zhu Ruyan cried even more sadly, “Senior sister, I’m sorry, I thought this morning you had also become corrupt like Zhu Lei.”
“Actually, this morning, I really did want to persuade you!”
“Don’t say anymore, senior sister, I’m sorry!” said Zhu Ruyan, crying.
Lu Xunxue smiled, then lifted her head to look at Xue An, her eyes slightly complicated.
“Mr. Xue….”
Xue An nodded.
He had previously had a poor impression of this Lu Xunxue.
But her actions today had changed Xue An’s impression of her.
“That Azure Dragon was a high-ranking member of the Profound Wind Tower, now that you’ve killed him, you will definitely anger the Profound Wind Tower…” Lu Xunxue said.
But Xue An just smiled, “Whether they’re angered or not, it doesn’t matter anymore!”
“Hmm?”
“Places like the Fire King Palace and Profound Wind Tower… will soon no longer exist!” Xue An said indifferently.
These words made Lu Xunxue shudder, “You’re going to take action against both Sects at the same time?”
Xue An nodded.
“How is that possible? The Sect Leaders of both Sects have extraordinarily profound Cultivation Levels, and it’s said that they both have Golden Immortal Cultivation…”
Lu Xunxue couldn’t go on with the rest of her words.
Because as soon as she mentioned Golden Immortal Cultivation, Xue An’s eyes lit up.
“Really? That’s just wonderful!” Xue An said with a smile.
Lu Xunxue was utterly bewildered.
Others would feel fear and anxiety upon hearing that their opponent was a master with Golden Immortal Cultivation.
Only Xue An seemed delighted.
At the same time, Zhu Ruyan was looking at Xue An with a complex gaze, as well as at An Yan, who stood behind Xue An.
Her gaze was initially filled with scrutiny and criticism.
But after looking for a while, this criticism gradually turned into admiration and self-deprecation.
Zhu Ruyan finally understood.
Why Xue An had been so eager to return in the past, and never showed her slightest favor.
Because An Yan, whether in looks or temperament, completely overshadowed her.
Compared to her, everything she was proud of couldn’t even be considered.
As she dwelt on these thoughts, Zhu Ruyan couldn’t help but feel a touch of sadness.
At this time, An Yan approached with two little girls, smiling as she said.
“Are you Sister Ruyan?”
Zhu Ruyan was stunned, looking blankly at An Yan, she nodded.
“I hear my husband mention you often, that for the sake of your family’s vengeance, you spent years in a place of smoke and flowers, that sounds just so cool! I really admire you! Let’s be friends!” Saying this, An Yan extended her hand, looking at Zhu Ruyan with a smiling face.
Zhu Ruyan blankly extended her hand and gave a soft squeeze.
By this time, Lu Xunxue’s injuries had already improved a lot, and she couldn’t help but shake her head slightly upon witnessing this scene.
She had completely lost faith in her junior sister’s unrequited love.
Because just based on An Yan’s demeanor, she already triumphed over many ordinary people.
What could Zhu Ruyan possibly use to compete with her?
The commotion naturally drew the attention of Pinchun Tower.
The Madam of the brothel peeked out nervously at the stair entrance but didn’t dare to come over.
Xue An waved his hand, “You, come here!”
The madam shuddered in fear and hurried over, “Wha… what does the sir command?”
“Bring several tables of banquet!”
“Yes!” Seeing the blood on the floor, the madam’s legs quivered so much that she even forgot to ask where Mr. Xue and Zhu Lei had gone.
As a large pleasure house, it was simple to prepare several tables for a banquet.
In just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, beautiful women were carrying up all sorts of exquisite dishes.
This scene left everyone from the Fire Phoenix stunned.
The madam then leaned in and spoke in a low voice, “Sir, are you satisfied with these girls?”
Xue An was somewhat amused and exasperated; were they treating him and his companions as pleasure-seekers?
However, seeing the way the people from Fire Phoenix’s eyes lit up, Xue An couldn’t be bothered to refuse anymore and nodded, “Alright, they’ll do!”
When the banquet was laid out, Cheng Hao and the others dared not approach.
Xue An said, “Go and eat. You’ve been rushing around for so long; have something to eat first.”
Hearing this, Cheng Hao and the others cautiously took their seats to eat.
Sensing this, all the girls knew Xue An was the man in charge and started throwing amorous glances his way.
But when An Yan turned around and stood by Xue An’s side,
the women’s flirtatious behavior immediately became awkward.
A clean table was set aside just for them, and Xue An sat down with his family and Zhu Ruyan, Lu Xunxue, and others.
The dishes tasted good.
More importantly, there was a copper hot pot billowing with steam at the center of the table.
It was now the cold winter season in Kunlun City.
Eating hot pot on a chilly winter night was truly a delight.
However, due to their severe injuries, Lu Xunxue and Zhu Ruyan couldn’t eat much.
But the two little girls were eating with great enjoyment.
While they were eating, Zou Yi and Sun Ling appeared, wearing new clothes, and gave an imperceptible nod to Xue An.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Go eat!”
The two then took their seats to have their meal.
At this point, Zhu Ruyan suddenly asked, “Are the two of them… dead?”
Xue An simply smiled and didn’t respond but rather looked up to gaze at the scenery outside the broken window.
“Look, it’s snowing!”
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Indeed.
The clear night sky from just moments ago was now covered in dark clouds that obscured the moonlight, with snowflakes fluttering down and quickly whitening the world.
The beautiful snow scene quieted the previously noisy crowd.
Raising his glass, Xue An declared, “A cup of wine under the blooming peach and plum, a ten-year lamp amid the rains of the riverside. Slaying the wicked is a virtuous thought; you should understand this! Otherwise, passing on my cultivation technique to you would be a waste!”
Zhu Ruyan trembled, stood up from her seat, and said respectfully, “Sir, I am not foolishly kind-hearted; what I fear is not their death!”
Xue An laughed heartily, “Good! That’s the spirit of a true wanderer! Rest assured, their souls are now in my possession.”
As he spoke, Xue An opened his palm.
Two orbs of light circled in his hand.
One large, one small; one strong, one weak.
From within the orbs, faint screams and pleas for mercy could be heard.
Zhu Ruyan looked at the two souls, about to speak.
Suddenly, Xue An clenched his fist.
The Azure Dragon and Zhu Lei’s final traces of existence in this world were utterly erased.
Then Xue An asked indifferently, “Have you had your fill?”
Cheng Hao and the others stood up, “We have!”
“Good, we set off now! To exterminate the Fire King’s Hall, Profound Wind Tower!”
“Yes!”
