In the courtyard stood a graceful young woman, dressed in a pure white top and a wide red skirt.
Such clothing did not accentuate the curves of a woman's body at all, but the girl had eyebrows like green mountains and eyes like autumn water. Just standing there, she seemed to be the most beautiful color in the great painting of heaven and earth.
The girl's skin was radiant, appearing even whiter against her clothes. In terms of beauty, she was slightly inferior to the Mermaid Queen; she could not match the Peacock Princess's charming vitality, but she possessed a dignified and elegant demeanor. Just by standing there casually, she exuded a sacred and unapproachable aura.
For a moment, Zuan felt a sense of disorientation, as if he were seeing Kikyo from "Inuyasha".
No wonder the young members of the demon race all praised the Holy Maiden's beauty, yet she didn't have as many suitors as the Peacock Princess.
She was clearly an ordinary girl, but at this moment she seemed to possess a kind of divinity.
She seemed to have been making talismans, and only looked up when she sensed Zu'an's arrival.
Zuan felt a sense of familiarity with her, thinking it might be because he had seen her phantom in the sealed land.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden!" Zuan smiled, a sense of joy at their reunion. Of course, the Holy Maiden probably didn't know that the two had met before.
To his surprise, the saintess did not reply, but instead walked quickly toward him.
With Zu An's cultivation level, he could sense that her body beneath her wide robes was trembling slightly, as if she was using immense willpower to suppress something.
He frowned slightly. What was Mikado Baiqing's reaction?
Whether from the sea tribe or the Peacock Princess, their Holy Maiden is described as someone who remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before her.
Why was there such an obvious "rudeness" this time?
Could it be that she's really plotting something? Is she just nervous and scared?
Zuan secretly scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, worried that there might be an ambush, but it turned out that there were only the two of them in this courtyard.
That's strange...
Seeing the other person getting closer, Zuan couldn't help but cough lightly and remind her again, "Holy Maiden?"
Mikado Baiqing bit her lip and looked at him, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, as if she had countless things to say to him.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Zu An felt a shiver run through him, and a feeling of pity welled up inside him.
Why did she react this way? She looked at him as if we had known each other for a long time. Did she also know that we had met in the sealed land in the future?
But that's something that will happen in the future.
Just as he was wondering, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted into his arms, and he felt the saintess holding him tightly. Zu An was completely dumbfounded.
He had imagined countless scenarios for what would happen after the two met, but he never expected that the legendary saintess would throw herself into his arms as soon as she arrived.
Could it really be a honey trap?
This holy maiden wants to use her beauty to win me over to work for the demon race.
However, the genuine emotion in her eyes and the trembling embrace were unmistakable; it certainly wasn't a calculated honey trap.
Surely it's not like the legendary saintess fell hopelessly in love with him at first sight?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zu'an quickly suppressed it; it was absolutely impossible.
Who knew that the next second, a pair of sweet lips would kiss him.
Zuan: "???"
His whole body straightened up in that instant.
What on earth is going on?!
He felt it necessary to ask clearly and was about to push the other person away when he heard the Holy Maiden murmur, "Brother Zu, you have finally come to find me."
Upon hearing this, Zu An felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the name he had received from Princess Peacock was "Fengdu." Apart from the Mermaid Queen, even Princess Peacock didn't know his real name. How did this Holy Maiden know it?
Thinking of that phantom image in the sealed land of later generations, Zu'an always felt that the other party seemed to have known him for a long time.
If he couldn't come, there was still a timeline where he could travel back to a more distant past and meet her again.
Just as she was completely confused, the Holy Maiden seemed to realize something and hurriedly explained with a blush, "Brother Zu, I am Ling'er."
Zuan: "!!!"
"Your sister?" Zu An stared at the saintess before him in disbelief. Was she Xie Daoyun?
Although there was a sense of familiarity about her, how did she resemble Xie Daoyun at all?
Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say they don't resemble each other at all; the quiet and elegant temperament she exudes is quite similar to Xie Daoyun's.
"Yes, last time in the demon world dungeon, I encountered that strange jade in the treasure vault, and that's how I came to this world. I thought I would never see you again." The saintess was no longer as strong as usual, and now she was crying with tears streaming down her face.
Hearing this, Zu'an had no more doubts. Overwhelmed with emotion, he hugged her tightly, exclaiming, "My little sister Ling'er!"
When Xie Daoyun disappeared, he was filled with fear and anxiety.
But there was a premonition that the two would meet again, and that the time would not be too far off.
I never expected that we would meet again under these circumstances.
The two embraced tightly, and it was unclear who initiated it, but soon their lips met in a passionate kiss, as if only through such intimate acts could they express their feelings.
The saintess placed her hands on Zaun's shoulders, her slender fingers like ivory, and the ornament on her forehead shone brightly in the sunlight, as captivating as her eyes.
...
Outside the courtyard, Princess Peacock paced back and forth, feeling somewhat anxious.
She couldn't understand why the Holy Maiden wanted to meet with her older brother alone. She knew that the Holy Maiden was usually open-minded and would discuss things openly with everyone.
