You Rong Rouxue asked about the situation back then. Her mind kept recalling the moment when she killed Xue Lian with her own hands, and the scene of bringing his body back and burying it.
And now, Xue Lian was standing in front of her alive. What was going on? Yourong Xuanya was also confused. These questions lingered in her mind.
Xue Lian's eyes slowly swept over the two of them, with a hint of complex emotions flashing across his eyes. He took a deep breath, then slowly explained:
"In fact, my original body had indeed died. The me you see now is the second body I created back then. I have always hidden this second body in a very secret corner, and it will only be activated after my original body dies."
After hearing this, the two looked at each other, and gradually understood in their hearts. After all, Xue Lian was a strong man in the Tribulation Period back then, how could he not have some means of self-protection? If he really died so easily back then, that would be truly strange.
"After I was resurrected, I had many insights in my heart." Xue Lian's voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying a kind of relief after experiencing vicissitudes of life.
"The dead cannot be resurrected. My longing for Yingli was once as deep as the tide, but now, I have gradually walked out of those painful memories."
You Rong Rouxue quietly gazed at the affectionate Xue Lian. There seemed to be an endless sea of stars hidden in her eyes. Her heart was like a ball of soft cotton, full of love and pity.
Her fingers trembled unconsciously, and a strong impulse drove her to stretch out her slender hand and gently touch his chiseled face. However, just when her hand was just a few inches away from Xue Lian's cheek, the memories in her mind surged in like a tide, and Xiao Ning's lost face involuntarily emerged in front of her eyes. That lonely expression was like a sharp knife, piercing into her heart and making her feel a piercing pain.
Her arms seemed to lose their strength and slowly fell down. She no longer had the impulse she had just now. She closed her eyes silently and said no more. Her eyes gradually revealed a pain and helplessness that was difficult to describe in words, as if silently telling of her inner struggle and entanglement.
Xue Lian was keenly aware of Rong Rouxue's strangeness. His heart tightened slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes. He gently held her soft and boneless body. The touch was delicate and warm, as if conveying some special emotion. He spoke softly:
"Master, Sister Xuan Ya, I really miss you."
His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of sadness, like the notes floating in the night breeze, gently plucking the heartstrings of the two.
The two looked at each other, and the tenderness in their eyes seemed to be able to melt all the coldness in the world. They looked at Xue Lian's slightly haggard face, and the last line of defense in their hearts was finally broken. Those past memories came like a flood, drowning them. At this time, they no longer cared about whether Xue Lian's words were true or false. They just wanted to hold on to this hard-won time and make up for the vacancy of a hundred years that was delayed, so that each other could feel the warmth and love that had been missing for a long time.
Xue Lian looked at the two quietly, and a sense of inexplicable ridicule rose in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of contempt in his smile, as if he was mocking their easy trust and persistence.
After Xue Lian came back, Xiao Ning continued to live in the palace with Rong Rouxue, but he did not live with him, but lived alone in another room.
During this time, he took care of Yourong Rouxue's daily life as usual. Yourong Rouxue had looked for him, but did not agree to Xiao Ning's request to leave, but only told him to practice hard.
After that, Xiao Ning devoted all his time to cultivation except delivering meals on time. He understood that even if he did not leave Piaomiao Xianzong, he had to work hard to improve his strength. Only in this way, when the time was right, would he have enough confidence to speak.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Xue Lian's return made Yourong Rouxue's attention completely focused on him, while Xiao Ning's side was much quieter.
Another week passed, and a powerful and frightening aura suddenly emanated from the training room. Then, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the palace. Xiao Ning slowly stood up, glanced around, and then exhaled deeply.
"I have finally reached the realm of refining emptiness."
His voice was filled with uncontrollable joy and pride.
You know, the Chaos God and Demon Body is a unique holy body for cultivation. With the help of the system, Xiao Ning actually broke through this barrier that no one has been able to cross for hundreds of years in just over a month. His achievement is amazing and breathtaking.
This powerful aura quickly spread to every corner of the hall. Rong Rouxue keenly felt this strong aura, and she immediately understood that Xiao Ning had successfully broken through. Xue Lian, who was standing aside, couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the training room, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Rong Rouxue was delighted, and could not wait to come to Xiao Ning, holding his hand tightly, and said excitedly:
"Ning'er, congratulations, you have entered the realm of refining emptiness!"
Xiao Ning looked at her calmly, with no expression on his face. He just responded calmly:
"Oh, thank you, Sister Yourong."
You Rong Rouxue didn't care about his emotions and continued to pull him out of the house. At this time, Xue Lian also came to their side. Xue Lian smiled and bowed to Xiao Ning to congratulate:
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations! It's true that heroes emerge from youth. You have reached the Void Refining Realm at such a young age. I admire you so much!"
Xiao Ning responded politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Master Xue."
Yourong Rouxue looked at the two of them and was very happy. She knew that Xiao Ning was a reserved person and would not easily show his dissatisfaction even if he felt it. And he was able to respond to Xue Lian so politely, which made Yourong Rouxue feel relieved.
At noon, Xiao Ning carefully prepared a table of sumptuous dishes to celebrate his improvement in cultivation. The two sisters Yourong Rouxue and Yourong Xuanya came with Xue Lian.
Xiao Ning raised his glass, bowed deeply to Yourong Rouxue and Yourong Xuanya, and thanked them sincerely: "Sister Yourong, Sister Xuanya, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. Xiao Ning is very grateful!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then poured another glass and toasted to Xue Lian. Xue Lian quickly stood up and clinked glasses with him. The two smiled at each other and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, Xiao Ning slowly said: "Sister, I invited you here because I have something else to say."
You Rong Rouxue looked at him and smiled gently, "Tell me, Ning'er, I can satisfy you with anything you want."
A hint of determination flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes, and he said happily:
"I plan to leave the sect and practice outside."
