第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百零六章 神雷

"Xiao Tao, you've woken up?"

Lin Xuan's face was filled with a cautious expression. However, Mo'er was overjoyed and exclaimed in surprise. She then swept her sleeves and a peculiar treasure flew out. It had to be the Yin-Yang Treasure Box.

Mo'er reached out and grasped it. As she infused her magical power into it, a crescent-shaped short sword appeared in her palm, its surface shimmering with captivating spiritual energy.

However, this was just the beginning. A radiant ball of light emerged from the sharp edge of the sword, displaying all the colors of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It seemed like a magical wheel, changing color like a precious gem before slowly rising into the air. Within this light, a figure gradually took shape, standing only one foot tall but with beautiful facial features.

Seeing this strange sight, Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned, then his frown relaxed. He had already known Xiao Tao's existence when Mo'er revealed her identity. Unlike spirit artifacts, this girl was naturally born from the spiritual mansion’s treasures after they were infused with life energy. Although Lin Xuan was well-traveled, he couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

But Xiao Tao gave him a big white eye: "You're that ungrateful Lin Xuan?"

"Ahem...ahem..."

Lin Xuan was at a loss for words. He had expected her to be more aggressive, but she seemed to have softened. "How about you just keep quiet? You’re such a pig; how could you possibly win the favor of my lady? It’s your own fault if you don’t cherish it and continue to act like a third-rate admirer."

"Miss, I'm here for your good," Xiao Tao pouted, looking very aggrieved.

"I don't want you to treat me so well. Quickly, go apologize to my lord. Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore." Mo'er's face turned serious as she spoke.

Xiao Tao's face showed a mix of difficulty and determination. Although she was fiery like a chili pepper, she knew better than to ignore her mistress’s words. But apologizing to that Lin guy? She was reluctant.

"Alright, alright, there's no need for apologies. Just make sure this girl doesn't talk so much in the future."

Lin Xuan smiled and tried to mediate. He wasn’t too angry but didn't want to argue with a little girl either. After all, he did owe Mo'er an apology. Xiao Tao had been loyal and protective of her.

This was Lin Xuan’s nature—cold and ruthless towards enemies, but forgiving towards his own people. Although the girl's words were sharp, she was still Moer’s life companion from another life. He treated her as one of his own.

"Sorry, my lord. I should have been more careful in training you," Mo'er said with relief on her beautiful face.

"No need for apologies. We’re friends now." Lin Xuan waved his hand and turned to the other young girl: "Xiao Tao, tell me—do you know where Qinxin is? Are you willing to share that information?"

Initially, Xiao Tao had wanted to use this as a way to challenge Lin Xuan, but she was surprised by how easygoing he was. She had insulted him, and instead of getting angry, he seemed to be helping her.

"Fine, I'll let him off this time. If that Lin guy ever bullies my lady again, I’ll make sure he gets a pig’s head," Xiao Tao said with an indifferent expression.

"Do you mean the woman named Qinxin?" "Of course, I know where she is—she was teleported away."

"Teleported away?"

Lin Xuan was surprised but didn't show it. This confirmed his suspicions: "Where did she go? Do you know the destination of this teleportation?"

"I do know, but will you still bully my lady if that happens?" Xiao Tao changed the subject back to her original question.

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. He had no intention of bullying Moer; he loved her deeply.

"Xiao Tao, don't say such things. I treat you well," Mo'er said with a hint of embarrassment on her face as she tried to defend Lin Xuan.

"Xiao Tao, please tell me. I'm also very curious."

Regardless of what the girl was thinking, since Moer had spoken up, Xiao Tao couldn’t continue to dodge: "It’s like this—Qinxin must have accidentally triggered aprohibition and was teleported to the Spirit Realm."

"What? The Spirit Realm?" Lin Xuan was taken aback. He wasn't sure if he heard correctly or if Xiao Tao was just making things up.

"Xiao Tao, don’t joke around. How could Qixin be sent to the Spirit Realm? That’s too far-fetched," Mo'er's face showed disbelief as well. This joke was too big.

"Miss, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. The woman really did get teleported to the Spirit Realm," Xiao Tao frowned and spoke seriously.

Lin Xuan had many strange experiences, but this one was truly extraordinary. He wasn't sure if he believed it either.

"Can Qixin actually reach the Spirit Realm without facing any tribulations?"

"Please, a mere minor tribulation of the Nine Nines? It’s nothing to worry about. This array was set up by my lady herself back then. With her power, even the laws of heaven and earth could be used for me. A minor tribulation is just a drop in the bucket; there's no need to worry," Xiao Tao said with disdain on her face, comparing Lin Xuan to a frog at the bottom of a well.

Mo'er was also confused: "That... did I really have such power back then?"

"Of course, my lady is the ruler of the Underworld. Even true immortals are nothing compared to that," Xiao Tao exaggerated slightly in her statement. In her mind, her mistress was always the best.

"So Qixin really ascended to the Spirit Realm?" Lin Xuan said slowly.

"Yes, she had good luck. The sacrificial altar originally had an array protecting it, similar to the one guarding my lady’s chambers. Even a scattered immortal couldn’t break through it, but just now, the array automatically deactivated. She must have entered by accident and inadvertently triggered the teleportation," Lin Xuan said.

PS: Qinxin has gone to the Spirit Realm. No one thought of that, right? Also, I will update three times today, with the last chapter being a bit late. Hope you all support me with your votes!
