Chapter 1585 - 1559: Gentle Xiao Qingliu

Yang Xiao, good kid, what realm has your genetic evolution reached? Tell the truth."

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"Lord Ying Tianmo, I was just being opportunistic and a bit clever. My Beast Soul has something that can temporarily increase speed, but it can only last for about ten minutes, and now it's no longer effective.

In terms of real skills, how can I be a match for you, sir? I'm not even worthy of holding your shoes!"

Ying Tianmo felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Haha, you kid, modesty is good, I like it."

The two slowed down to wait for the others behind them.

A few minutes later, Xiao Qingliu caught up with them.

Ying Tianmo praised her:

"Miss Xiao, to catch up in such a short time, you must already be at the peak of the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, right?"

"Reporting to Lord Ying Tianmo, that is correct."

"Good, the two of you are a talented and beautiful couple, truly enviable. When you get married, don't forget to invite me for a drink, haha..."

Xiao Qingliu blushed with embarrassment.

Yang Xiao wanted to explain something, but since Xiao Qingliu did not explain, wouldn't forcing an explanation hurt her pride?

Alright, then let's just go along with it!

The three chatted briefly, and General Zhuo, with his guards, also caught up.

General Zhuo was alright, but the ten or so guards at the Empire Level Advanced realm behind him were all panting heavily.

Just now, during the intense chase, they had already exhausted all of their evolution energy and were now utterly fatigued.

The guards took a Big Blood Pill to adjust appropriately, and everyone resumed their journey in flight.

A few hours later, the group arrived at the Divine City.

"Yang Xiao, technically, since it's your first time in the Divine City, I should invite you to stay at my residence. But since you're about to become one of our Divine Hall Elders, moving around closely with you might cause unnecessary misunderstandings and gossip, which wouldn't be good for you.

So, I'll have General Zhuo take you to an inn in the Divine City. You can wait for my message there, and feel free to move around the inn area, but don't wander too far. I'll send General Zhuo to bring you into the Divine Hall at any time."

"Alright, thank you, Lord Ying Tianmo."

"Soon we'll all be like family, no need for formalities. General Zhuo, make sure to take good care of Yang Xiao and Miss Xiao."

"Yes."

After entering the Divine City, Ying Tianmo flew to his residence, and General Zhuo led Yang Xiao to an inn.

"Zhui Feng Inn"

Yang Xiao stood in front of the inn, looked at the signboard for Zhui Feng Inn, and said with a smile:

"This name is nice, quite interesting."

General Zhuo explained:

"The owner of this inn is named Zhui Feng, who is very skilled at flying in the air and is a nephew of Ying Tianmo. Therefore, you can rest assured during your stay here, I'll have someone take care of you."

"Thank you, General Zhuo."

When Yang Xiao and the others entered the inn, the attendant saw General Zhuo and immediately said enthusiastically:

"Oh, General Zhuo is here."

"Hmm, where's Brother Zhui Feng?"

"Who's looking for me?"

A head suddenly popped up from behind the inn's counter, with a touch of drunkenness.

"Hehe, Brother Zhui Feng, you've been drinking again."

"Not at all, just three glasses, waiting to drink a glass with General Zhuo?"

"Not today, maybe another day. By the way, these two are guests of Lord Ying Tianmo, temporarily staying at the inn. I'll settle all the expenses, make sure to take good care of them."

Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu saluted the middle-aged man behind the counter:

"Sorry to bother you."

"Oh, what do you mean by bother? I run an inn; your visit is good for my business. General Zhuo, rest assured, they're in good hands.

Waiter, why are you standing there? Quickly, take the two guests upstairs."

General Zhuo said:

"Brother Yang, Miss Xiao, you two settle here for now, and if you need anything, just find Brother Zhui Feng. I'll take my leave first."

"Alright, take care, General Zhuo."

Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu went to the second floor.

"Two of you, would you like one room or two?"

Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Qingliu, who said nothing and left the decision to him.

"Two rooms."

"Alright, these two rooms are for you."

The attendant took out two jade token keys and handed them to Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu respectively.

Yang Xiao inserted the jade token into the keyhole on the door, and the defense light screen door automatically opened.

"If you need anything, feel free to call me. I'll take my leave now."

Yang Xiao and Xiao Qingliu went into their respective rooms.

Yang Xiao took a bath and changed his clothes.

After a short rest, Yang Xiao went next door and knocked on Xiao Qingliu's room door.

The light screen door opened. Xiao Qingliu, who had just finished bathing, was towel-drying her hair, standing at the door sideways. Her loose robe revealed her snow-white skin, and a faint fragrance wafted over, making Yang Xiao feel intoxicated.

Yang Xiao stared at Xiao Qingliu in a daze.

Xiao Qingliu smiled faintly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Never seen a beauty before?"

Yang Xiao was startled, quickly snapped back, and laughed:

"You look beautiful today."

"Am I not beautiful usually?"

"Ah, you've always been beautiful; it's just that I dare not look directly at you."

"Weren't you just staring at me?"

Xiao Qingliu smiled flirtatiously.

Yang Xiao dared not continue with such a topic and quickly said:

"Once you're ready, shall we go for a walk together?"

"Sure, just give me a moment."

"Okay."

Returning to his room, Yang Xiao couldn't quite pinpoint why, but thinking of Xiao Qingliu stirred an inexplicable restlessness in him.

Yang Xiao remembered Long Jing, who was fighting a bloody battle on Witch Star, and their son, Long Xiao.

"Sigh, Jing'er faces life-and-death battles every day; how can I indulge in such romantic affairs here?"

After a while, Xiao Qingliu came looking for Yang Xiao.

Xiao Qingliu had changed into a light green floral dress, applied a bit of light makeup, looking radiant and captivating. Her black hair flowed down her back like a waterfall from the galaxy.

Her figure, temperament, and appearance were those of a rare beauty.

A green jade necklace adorned her snow-white neck, enhancing her nobility.

Yang Xiao recalled their first duel in the Dark Forest and laughed:

"Clearly, you're a stunning beauty, yet you used to wear cloaks and veils all the time, wasting such a heavenly gift!"

"Hehe, Yang Xiao, I just realized how sweet your words are."

The two of them exchanged a few laughs and walked down to the second floor.

As they passed through the inn's lobby on the first floor, several guests along with the owner, Zhui Feng, were struck speechless by Xiao Qingliu's appearance.

Xiao Qingliu ignored the gazes and directly linked her arm with Yang Xiao's, walking out the inn's door.

Yang Xiao was taken aback, feeling electrified, allowing Xiao Qingliu to hold onto him.

Inwardly, Yang Xiao marveled at the transformation in Xiao Qingliu from the ruthless, murderous Mr. Master of the Dark Web to a gentle and serene woman—what a stark contrast!
