We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 531: I Will Make That Xiao Mo Die Without Anyone Being the Wiser

“It is quite a coincidence.”

Xiao Mo looked at Xiangniang and smiled.

“Why have you come to the front line too, young lady?”

“Ah... what else could it be for?” Xiangniang sighed, her expression carrying a somewhat resentful look. “Naturally, it is because of you, Young Master.”

“Originally, as long as Young Master was willing to dual-practice with me, I would have had no worries at all. Perhaps by now, I might even be pregnant with a little fox. But now, I can only personally come to the front line to search for opportunities and try to break through into the Golden Core Realm.”

“Then I truly am sorry.” Xiao Mo smiled.

Although Xiao Mo was indeed somewhat surprised that Xiangniang had also come to the front line, and although he usually found Xiangniang a little troublesome, the familiar warmth of meeting someone he knew in a foreign place still made his heart soften slightly.

“Young Master, instead of standing here saying words of apology, why not properly yield to me?”

Xiangniang swayed her waist as she walked forward, her eyes rippling.

“In any case, there is no one else here. No matter what delightful things we do, no one will know. Wouldn’t you say so, Young Master?”

As she spoke, Xiangniang’s slender hand reached toward Xiao Mo’s chest. But Xiao Mo still stepped back unhurriedly and looked at her with a smile.

“Hmph! Young Master truly is no fun.”

Xiangniang turned her head away, her mouth still unforgiving.

“With Young Master being this dense toward romance, I fear that even if you die on the battlefield in the future, you will still be untouched, and your journey through this world will have been for nothing. When the time comes and you regret it too late, do not blame me for failing to remind you.”

“That is not something you need to worry about, young lady.” Xiao Mo looked at the room beside his own. “Would you like to choose a room first?”

“Of course. I want the one next to yours, Young Master.” After saying that, Xiangniang lifted her chin and walked straight toward the room beside Xiao Mo’s.

But Xiangniang had only taken two steps when the courtyard gate was pushed open again, and a woman walked in.

This was a human woman with delicate features. She wore a set of black martial attire, a long straight saber hanging at her waist. Beneath her valiant appearance, there was an even colder air of killing intent.

The woman’s gaze slowly swept over the courtyard, passed over Xiangniang, and finally settled steadily on Xiao Mo.

“Oh my... where did this young lady come from? She is rather pretty.”

Xiangniang unhurriedly blocked Xiao Mo, one hand supporting her elbow while the other lightly tapped her own chest, her tone carrying a touch of ridicule.

“But staring at someone else’s man the moment you enter the courtyard—aren’t you being far too unreserved?”

“My name is Xin Xiao’er. Starting today, I will be living in this courtyard.” Xin Xiao’er coldly gave her name and said no more. She withdrew her gaze and walked straight toward the room at the far side.

“Could it be that Young Master likes this type?”

Seeing Xiao Mo’s gaze follow Xin Xiao’er’s back, Xiangniang could not help teasing him.

“If Young Master likes it, I can dress myself up like that too—valiant, but with a bit of seduction mixed in.”

“That will not be necessary.”

Xiao Mo answered mildly and shook his head.

For some reason, he kept feeling that this Xin Xiao’er seemed to carry a faint killing intent toward him.

......

“Elder Hongxia, you have finally arrived.”

“I believe that with Elder Hongxia personally presiding here, defeating the Sacred Demon Alliance and Heavenly Demon Alliance will be all but guaranteed!”

At this very moment, inside the City Lord’s Residence of Flowing Sand City.

The ruler of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, Chen Bing, who was in charge of leading the army, immediately rose from the city lord’s high seat the moment he saw Tushan Hongxia step inside. He took the initiative to come down and welcome her, his attitude extremely enthusiastic.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Tushan Hongxia revealed a slight smile and saluted Chen Bing, then said,

“Your Majesty’s resolute decision to leave the Heavenly Demon Alliance and instead join our Myriad Demon Alliance is truly an enormous blessing for all of Tushan.”

“Hmph. The moment Elder Hongxia brings up this matter, I cannot help growing furious!”

Chen Bing’s eyes instantly widened round, his face full of anger as he said loudly,

“My Heavenly Demon Kingdom has always shared deep friendship and close ties with Tushan. Back when my Heavenly Demon Kingdom took the lead in establishing the Heavenly Demon Alliance, our original intention was also to join forces with Tushan and advance or retreat together.”

“But who could have expected that the other dynasties and sects in the alliance would actually try to bring Tushan to ruin? How could I possibly stand with them?”

“Hehehe... Tushan remembers the friendship between the Heavenly Demon Kingdom and our clan. Your Majesty may rest assured. Tushan has always acted with loyalty and sentiment, and we will absolutely not treat the Heavenly Demon Kingdom unfairly.”

After hearing this, Tushan Hongxia merely smiled faintly.

How could she possibly fail to understand the twists and turns behind this?

The Heavenly Demon Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Kingdom had similar names, but the establishment of the Heavenly Demon Alliance had nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon Kingdom.

The so-called “Heavenly Demon” referred to the legendary “demon from Heaven” of the demon-race world.

The reason the Heavenly Demon Kingdom had withdrawn from the Heavenly Demon Alliance was entirely because Chen Bing had failed to obtain the alliance leader’s position as he had wished.

On top of that, several other larger dynasties and sects had joined together to target him, even occupying more than half of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom’s territory.

Left with no choice, Chen Bing had come over to the Myriad Demon Alliance’s side.

And the Myriad Demon Alliance had also taken an interest in the Heavenly Demon Kingdom’s remaining forces, as well as Chen Bing himself, an Immortal Realm cultivator. Only then had they been willing to accept him.

In the final analysis,

all the countless living beings under heaven came and went, hurrying about, but in the end, it was all for a single word: profit.

Who was not weighing their own gains and losses?

“For the next period of time, all deployment and command of the front line’s battles shall be overseen by this old woman. Your Majesty has no objection to that, I presume?” Tushan Hongxia asked aloud.

“Naturally, I have no objections! Besides, Elder Hongxia’s talent and prestige—who under heaven does not know of them?”

These words from Chen Bing were also true.

Recently, on this battle line, he had suffered defeat after defeat.

Although the responsibility did not fall entirely on him, no matter what, Chen Bing was the commander of the front line, and the other sects of the Myriad Demon Alliance inevitably had quite a few complaints about him.

Therefore, in Chen Bing’s view, Tushan sending Elder Hongxia over was no different from sending someone to salvage the situation. She could just happen to share much of the pressure for him.

“Since Your Majesty says so, it would be improper for this old woman to keep declining.”

Hongxia nodded. Then she took a letter from her storage pouch, and the topic of conversation shifted.

“By the way, there is one matter for which I am afraid I will need Your Majesty’s help.”

“Oh? There is actually something I can help Elder Hongxia with?”

Chen Bing took the envelope and lowered his head to look at it. Then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he smiled with an easy expression.

“I thought it was some great matter. Speaking of it, this matter seems more like Elder Hongxia is helping my Jue’er.”

When his words fell, Chen Bing turned and handed the letter to his son beside him.

“Jue’er, I will leave this matter to you. There will be no problem, will there?”

Chen Jue stepped forward. His gaze fell on the black words written on white paper, and a sudden flare of scorching light flashed through his eyes. Then he cupped his fist and said in a clear voice,

“Father Emperor, Senior Hongxia, please rest assured!”

“This junior will certainly make that Xiao Mo die without gods or ghosts knowing, without allowing anyone to detect the slightest abnormality!”
