Chapter 199: Embrace

The room was silent for a moment, then the boy sitting on the soft couch raised his head and smiled easily.

"I just heard the maid calling you for dinner. She called you for a long time but no one answered. She was very worried. Aren't you going to go and respond?"

Jingwu frowned unhappily as he listened to him change the subject.

She stared at the person in front of her for a long time, but still didn't press him further. After all, he would tell her when he wanted to, and there was no point in forcing him to ask.

Jingwu thought to himself, took a deep breath, then looked at the person in front of him and forced a smile: "I'll go out and deal with this. You sit here quietly. By the way, are you hungry?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Huai abruptly raised his head, his eyes fixed on her, his lips slightly downturned, and he nodded.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and have them make you something to eat. What would you like? Or maybe some thin noodles?"

Jingwu nodded at him, then immediately turned and went out to find a maid.

A short while later, she returned with two bowls of firm noodles.

Jingwu placed the noodles on the table and invited him to come and eat.

There were still no candles lit in the room, so the two of them sat at the table by the light of the moon, eating noodles one bite after another.

There was no talking inside, only the sound of slurping noodles.

After a while, the two finished eating their noodles. Just as Jingwu was about to call the maid to come in and take the bowl away, he heard the person in front of him look up and say something.

"I'll be leaving for a while in a few days, Ah Wu. I came here today to say goodbye."

Yue Huai raised his handsome face, a smile playing on his lips, but his eyes held a great deal of suppressed emotion.

Seeing him like this, Jingwu suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Yue Huai remained silent and did not speak.

Jingwu's unease grew stronger. He would never be like this before. Could it be that something had happened to the Xuanmen again, and he was being forced to fight those two evil cultivators of the Xuanmen right now?

No, I can't sense his cultivation level at all right now, nor can I find out what stage he has reached, or whether he has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

If they reach the Nascent Soul stage, it's fine; they might be able to put up a fight. But if they haven't reached that stage, isn't this just sending them to their deaths?

No, she couldn't just stand by and watch him go to his death.

"Yue Huai, are you going back to Xuanmen? Or wait for me for a while, until I reach the Nascent Soul stage, then I will go to Xuanmen with you."

Jingwu spoke somewhat anxiously, but in the dim light, she couldn't see the expression on the person in front of her.

"No, it's not about that." Yue Huai understood her worries and said with a smile, "Don't worry, when I come back, we'll go and kill the evil god together."

Jingwu listened to these confusing words, but her worries did not diminish at all. She wanted to say something more, but the next second, she saw the person in front of her extend his hands.

She looked at the two hands suspended in the air, and stared at him in confusion.

What is this for? Is it some new hand gesture?

Just as Jingwu was about to ask, he was pulled into someone's arms.

She was stunned for two or three seconds, the unique fragrance of the boy lingering around her nose, making her head go blank.

"Awu, wait for me to come back. I have something very serious to tell you."

Yue Huai held the person in his arms, feeling his heart pounding. Before she could react, he quickly let go of her and took a step back.

Jingwu had just realized he was being hugged when he was released, and he was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the boy with his head down in front of her, opened her mouth, but swallowed back many words. In the end, she only said one sentence: "What... what's wrong with you today?"

Hearing this, Yue Huai felt a little disappointed. He thought that even if she didn't fly into a rage, she should at least ask him why he hugged her.

His face flushed red, and he muttered something under his breath. Without caring whether the person in front of him heard him clearly, he disappeared from the spot in the next second.

Jingwu watched as the living person in front of him vanished into thin air, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.

What's wrong with him tonight? What triggered him? Could something have happened at the Crown Prince's residence?

Jingwu thought about it more and more and it seemed to be true, so he did some calculations with his fingers.

Strange, the Crown Prince's residence is safe and sound, and the palace is also safe and sound, so what happened to Yue Huai?

Jingwu couldn't figure it out at all, and tossed and turned in bed until late at night before finally falling asleep.

At this moment, after leaving the Shao residence, Yue Huai teleported directly to the Xuanmen.

At this moment, he looked at the gate of the Xuanmen, and with a slight turn of his wrist, summoned Xiao Zi.

As Yue Huai looked at the familiar surroundings, warm memories of the past flashed through his mind.

Father, Mother, Sect Leader, I've come to avenge you.

He looked up at the formation, his eyes turned cold, and he quickly unleashed a few strands of Netherworld Power.

With a slight sound, the formation broke.

Without any hesitation, Yue Huai walked straight in, and after only a few steps, he saw people rushing over.

"Yue Huai, you actually dare to come here?" Liu Lishan realized the formation was broken in his sleep, and rushed over in a hurry without even having time to put on his clothes properly.

Upon seeing the boy in front of him, an inexplicable anger instantly flared up.

The Yue family is just as annoying as ever!

The young man raised his eyes and gave him a cold glance. Even without saying a word, the pressure he exuded startled everyone around him.

Liu Lishan and Su Hexie exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Has this kid's cultivation level increased so much in such a short time?

The oppressive aura was almost too much for them to bear.

Liu Lishan was overwhelmed by the oppressive aura and could hardly breathe. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move them at all.

Yue Huai glanced at them and then waved his hand downwards.

The two old men in front of him knelt down with a thud, making a crisp sound.

Liu Lishan's eyes were filled with astonishment and fear. How could this be? How could this happen?!

Just half a month ago, this kid wasn't even at the Nascent Soul stage. How come his skill has become so profound in such a short time?!

Moreover, he couldn't detect any of the other's cultivation level.

This proves that his cultivation level is far superior to mine.

But I have already reached the Mahayana stage. Could it be that this kid has already passed the Mahayana stage?

That's impossible!

Su Hexie, who was standing to the side, shared the exact same thought as Yue Huai, both of them being shocked by Yue Huai's technique.

Yue Huai glanced at them lazily, not wanting to say anything more to them.

He reached out and grabbed, and in the next second, countless golden rays of light emanated from their bodies and flowed directly into his palm.

"No...no..."

As Liu Lishan watched these cultivation techniques leave his body, he looked extremely flustered. This kid had come to avenge his father and mother, and was going to take back all the cultivation techniques they had stolen!

no……
