Chapter 1999 - 2000: Ancestor Qin?

Chapter 1999: Chapter 2000: Ancestor Qin?

Lou Yaoyao was already babbling incoherently.

Because inside, she was way too shaken.

But the mysterious woman standing on the deck completely understood her feelings. She nodded and said, "Your guess is right. He is exactly what’s recorded in the ancient books—a person with a powerful Bloodline."

"What?"

Lou Yaoyao was utterly stunned.

Ye Xuan... is actually the legendary... powerful Bloodline holder?!

How is that possible?

That’s something that only exists in ancient texts, a legend so far removed from the modern era!!

But this was said by that mysterious woman.

Words from such a world-shaking powerhouse—how could Lou Yaoyao not believe them?

Even though it sounded incredibly unbelievable.

Before this, Lou Yaoyao had personally denied that very guess of hers.

Now, hearing the mysterious woman say it, she quickly accepted this fact again—her ability to adapt is terrifyingly strong...

"Th-this is too scary." Lou Yaoyao smacked her lips over and over. "Never thought that a powerful Bloodline that should’ve long gone extinct would actually reappear in this era where Spiritual Energy is so scarce!"

The mysterious woman said, "In the Great Thousand World, nothing is impossible."

Lou Yaoyao felt her scalp go numb.

As the Lou Family’s heiress, she’d grown up seeing big scenes. She always thought there was nothing in this world she didn’t know about. But now she suddenly realized she was still way too young.

In this world, there are still many people and many things she can’t even begin to imagine.

Just like Ye Xuan...

After a long while.

Lou Yaoyao finally calmed herself. Her beautiful eyes flickered twice as she looked at the mysterious woman and asked, "Senior, since Ye Xuan is a legendary powerful Bloodline holder, he should be recovering much faster, right? Why is it that right now, there’s practically no movement at all?"

The mysterious woman didn’t speak.

Lou Yaoyao thought she was annoyed, so she was about to apologize and leave.

But the mysterious woman spoke again: "Because the injuries he suffered are too light."

"Too light?" Lou Yaoyao was dumbfounded.

The mysterious woman said, "The more powerful the Bloodline, the harder it is for that Bloodline’s power to erupt. It’s hidden in the deepest depths. If it’s not a true life-and-death moment, it’s very hard for it to show itself. The injuries he’s taken, relative to his physique, aren’t fatal. So that innate power in his Bloodline won’t be easily triggered."

"This..."

Lou Yaoyao was horrified yet again, her whole brain going blank.

She suddenly realized why Ye Xuan could die and come back to life on the Snow Mountain Summit, yet right now he couldn’t recreate that miracle.

So basically he hasn’t been beaten up miserably enough?

Just how strong and terrifying does this Bloodline have to be, for injuries this severe to still not threaten his life?

Lou Yaoyao looked at the mysterious woman, her face full of shock. "Senior, I...I want to know, just what level is Ye Xuan’s Bloodline?"

Yes.

The ancient texts also stated that innate Bloodlines have clear ranks. Not all powerful Bloodline holders share the same level of Bloodline strength.

The mysterious woman lowered her beautiful eyes. "You want to know?"

Lou Yaoyao nodded. "I want to know, because he’s the only person I’ve ever seen or heard of who has a powerful Bloodline, and he’s also..."

Lou Yaoyao was just about to say a few heartfelt lines across the air to the unconscious Ye Xuan.

The mysterious woman suddenly frowned ever so slightly and cut her off. "I also want to know."

Err—

Lou Yaoyao’s expression froze, the mood turning awkward for no reason.

Having your impending love talk interrupted like that doesn’t feel great.

Was that a coincidence? Must be a coincidence.

Could this mysterious woman really be so powerful that she even knows what Lou Yaoyao is about to say?

Lou Yaoyao came back to her senses, pursed her lips and stayed silent for a long time, feeling a hollow emptiness in her heart.

Even the mysterious woman didn’t know just how far Ye Xuan’s powerful Bloodline went. This basically turned the matter into an unsolvable mystery.

Lou Yaoyao really didn’t like this vague, unclear feeling.

But she was helpless.

At the very least, the fact that Ye Xuan possessed this near-extinct Bloodline talent was absolutely a good thing. It was just a bit pitiful for Lou Xinyu, who was grinding away back home...

"Hope he turns back before it’s too late."

Lou Yaoyao sighed inwardly. The more she learned about Ye Xuan, the more she felt Lou Xinyu had no chance. After all, he’s her own older brother—if Ye Xuan really kills him, that’d be one nasty karmic entanglement.

She shook her head. Feeling in the mood to chat, Lou Yaoyao looked at the mysterious woman and spoke again: "Junior dares to ask, Senior, you are..."

The mysterious woman: "My surname is Qin."

"Qin?" Lou Yaoyao was stunned for a good while. Her beautiful eyes spun a few times, and then she suddenly cried out in shock, "You are... you are the Xiahou Family’s ancestor, Qin Lan, Ancestor Qin?!"

Qin Lan didn’t respond again.

But inside Lou Yaoyao, storms were surging once more.

Qin Lan!!

Just how weighty are these two syllables within Hidden Dragon?

Even the Lord of Hidden Dragon has to give her three points of respect!

Why?

Because among the Hundred Families of Hidden Dragon, Qin Lan is basically an invincible existence. Her strength is truly unfathomable!

Even the Lord of Hidden Dragon, the publicly acknowledged strongest person in Hidden Dragon, doesn’t have absolute confidence in defeating her. It’s precisely because Qin Lan is this terrifying that the Xiahou Family has managed to stand tall till now.

Otherwise, the Xiahou Family would’ve long since fallen to the fringes of Hidden Dragon, just a minor force. After all, the lack of Martial Arts talent in the Xiahou Zhenshan brothers is something everyone in Hidden Dragon knows.

In other words.

With a peerless powerhouse like Qin Lan sitting in town, as long as the Xiahou Zhenshan brothers put in even a bit more effort, the Xiahou Family could’ve already stepped into the ranks of top clans in the Hidden Dragon World.

Both inside and outside Hidden Dragon, everyone knows Qin Lan has had it rough...

And in Lou Yaoyao’s eyes, this strongest woman in Hidden Dragon is her lifelong idol.

She also wants to become a woman like Qin Lan...

"So you are Ancestor Qin!" Lou Yaoyao’s face broke into a delighted smile. "No wonder Odin was so helpless in front of you, hehe. I bet you were still holding back then, right? Ancestor Qin, you’re my idol!"

Qin Lan remained unmoved, hands clasped behind her back as she stood on the deck, like a transcendent master detached from the world. No kind of person or compliment could arouse the slightest interest in her.

Of course, having lived to the age of a hundred and eighty-six, in some sense, she really had transcended.

At this moment, Qin Lan’s cold aloofness, in Lou Yaoyao’s eyes, was packed with grandeur and sheer coolness. Instantly, this little demon’s eyes practically started shooting sparks.

Her heartfelt worship washed away her fear of Qin Lan, replacing it with a sort of self-assumed sense of closeness.

Lou Yaoyao cheerily sidled up to Qin Lan’s side, grinning. "Ancestor Qin, you’re really amazing, and you’re so beautiful too. Wow, you’re just perfect. I’m definitely going to become a woman like you!"

Qin Lan’s brows creased slightly. She didn’t like people getting this close to her.

Even women.
