An hour later.

"Miss, are we just going to let her go?"

In front of the wooden house, watching the gorgeous figure on the horizon that turned into a flamingo and gradually faded away, Gu Shuang asked behind him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course, Xiaogu. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

Xinkui was still sitting in front of the bed and smiled at the beautiful girl at the door.

"Yes, but why should the Holy Qilin be handed over to her?

Didn’t you, Miss, say that you want to use Lorraine to make the final breakthrough? And as the most perfect ‘sacred spiritual source’ in the world, it would be too..."

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, as if she couldn't understand the eldest lady's decision.

At this moment, both the "transaction" and the "emotional divination" have been completely completed. The night is deep, and the starlight shines on the girl's body, reflecting her clear-cut and beautiful face——

Her short frost-colored hair is clean and neat, and her secret-colored pupils exude a resolute and indifferent temperament;

She wore a conservative and traditional white letter skirt, which wrapped her body tightly without exposing an inch of skin. It was impossible to tell whether her figure was good or bad. But it could be seen from her beautiful figure that this was obviously the same.

A beautiful embryo.

"Xiao Gu, before I completely understand the origin of Suzaku, I really have no intention of handing Lorraine over to anyone. However, after doing the 'divination' for her just now, I changed my mind."

Xinkui replied proudly.

It was obvious that she was very satisfied with her decision and had no regrets at all.

"No... Miss, when did you master this 'divination'? I have followed you for many years, but why have I never seen you use these things for deduction?"

Gushuang returned to the house with a puzzled look on her face and sat down where Yan Ye was before. She put her head close to the wooden table and looked at the beautifully patterned cards on the table, trying to observe the details from close range.

What a mystery.

Seeing her like this, Xinkui laughed and said:

"Xiao Gu, of course it's normal that you haven't seen it before! Because I don't know anything about 'divination' at all! These 'astrological cards' were inspired by the 'star spiritual power' I read in books when I was young.

A random drawing of a toy based on inspiration. And what I just told Suzaku were all just random speculations."

"Huh?!! 'Toys'???'Speculations'???"

Gushuang was shocked on the spot.

She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the beautiful cards in front of her again several times, and then she opened her mouth and asked:

"How is this possible?! If the eldest lady is just making it up, how could she tell her private affairs so clearly??"

"Hey, you don't understand this! Xiaogu, some people can roughly guess what kind of person she is just by looking at her face."

Xinkui explained seriously:

"Even you must be able to vaguely notice that Suzaku is obviously a meticulous and holy bird who has extremely strict requirements on herself."

"Yeah... indeed."

"She traveled thousands of miles to investigate our affairs, and tried to rescue Lorraine on the way. Unfortunately, not only did she fail in the end, but she was arrested by us instead. It is easy to see from her frustrated and unwilling expression that she had never been there before.

I have never failed like this before.”

"Original, that's how it is!"

Gushuang's eyes lit up: "That's why you used this...'sun' card to calculate fortunes for her??"

"puff……"

With a smile on her face, Xinkui turned over all the other cards in the deck and placed them flat on the mysterious tablecloth——

I saw that there were more than a dozen “sun cards” that looked similar in appearance!

There are also many types of "Holy Grail Cards" and "Tower Cards" in various painting styles. If you glance at the bone frost, you can still see special symbols such as "Scepter", "Emperor" and "Wheel of Life".

card.

"Actually, I can define the meaning of each card however I want. It is completely determined based on my needs. Xiaogu, don't forget what this princess is best at."

Xinkui looked proud and proud.

"..."

That's right, Gu Shuang realized at this moment that what she was best at was serious nonsense.

Even if she smoked "Hell" instead of "Sun", she could almost fool the simple-minded Suzaku by saying something like "This represents the pursuit of hope in the darkness, the light will last forever".

"As expected of the eldest lady, I easily bluffed her... But did we really make a profit from this transaction?"

She still didn't understand what could be worth releasing Luo Lin and Yan Ye at the same time.

"Of course! You also heard that Suzaku told everything about the 'First Generation' before he left."

Xinkui analyzed calmly:

"At first, I thought that the 'first generation of spirit envoys' did not exist, or that they had long since perished with the passage of time.

This made me speculate that the strongest combat power of the Jinghua Palace was only the 'Tribulation Level' Tianyi Water Snake and the Lord of the Lu Palace.

If that's the case, it doesn't matter even if they find out that Luo Lin and Yan Ye are imprisoned by us here. It's almost impossible to defeat us with the strength of the second-generation spirit envoys alone.

Furthermore, you and I can increase our cultivation speed dozens of times in a short period of time through the power of the Four Phases. With this factor in mind, as long as we develop quietly for a period of time, it will be even less possible for them to catch up."

Speaking of this, she changed the subject:

"But all of this is based on the premise that 'Jinghua Palace does not have the first generation of spiritual envoys'."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Gushuang asked puzzledly: "Can it be that the eldest lady and I can't deal with the 'first generation' even if we work together?"

As one of the dragonborn with the purest bloodline in the ancient holy lineage, even if he turns into an undead, his overwhelming pride will remain deep in his bones until the end.

She knew that both she and the young lady were about to reach the realm of "demigods". If there was anything in this world that could not be defeated, then there was only the rumored "true god" left.

Regarding the "First Generation Spirit Envoys", the records in ancient books are that "the cultivation level of the three is close to that of the gods." As for the specific extent to which they have reached, it is not clear.

And Yan Ye only named the "Heaven Spirit Envoy", "Earth Spirit Envoy", and "Blood Spirit Envoy" and confirmed the fact that they truly existed in Jinghua Palace.

At Xinkui's request, she described the images of the three in detail, but didn't say much about other content.

It can be seen that even though they live under the same roof, she does not know those first-generation predecessors particularly well.

——

At this time, Xinkui said very confidently:

"Xiaogu, according to my judgment, the phenomenon of 'fog and rain turning to ashes' that appeared in the sky a few days ago can only be triggered when the true gods fight.

And the two first generations mentioned by Suzaku are very likely the source of the vision."

"this……"

"If we really follow the previous plan and keep Saint Qilin and Suzaku, then it will be clear that we will oppose Jinghua Palace and become a life-or-death enemy.

Under this premise, once Palace Master Lu sends a certain 'first generation' to the Black Territory to carry out the mission of eradication, then you and I, as well as the homeless children outside, will be unable to fight back.

"

"..."

"And the most important point is that I have every reason to suspect that the person who triggered the 'grey mist' in the vision is most likely the founder of the 'Nightmare God Method', which is what our Wu family has believed in since ancient times.

...the true God."

Xinkui took a deep breath and cast her gaze on the "Nightmare God Curse Book·Pseudo" on the table, her thoughts were complicated.

"My mother once told me that the 'Witch Way' originated from the ancient times thousands of years ago. It was a remnant discovered by the family's ancestors in the 'Holy War Pit' after the cracks in the sky appeared.

The founder of this way boasts that he is "about to become a god" and believes that "witchcraft" is the only solution to fight against the "power of divine time" and "power of blood soul". Back then, we had no idea about these things that transcended the "five elements and three wonders".

I knew nothing about power... not only had I never seen it before, I had never even heard of it.

Our ancestors regarded it as a treasure and passed it down for generations. My mother was able to cultivate the righteous method, but on the way, she was regarded as a heretic by the hateful woman from the Mahajinlun Temple, who wanted to destroy my whole witchcraft family."

"Miss……"

"You know what happened next. Although I couldn't escape this disaster in the end, my soul did not completely dissipate after death, but I can still be with you today."

"..."

"The Nightmare God records that when you practice this method to the deepest level, the strange phenomenon of 'fog' will appear on the horizon. Maybe there is God's will in the dark. I was very lucky. I awakened the 'fog spirit root' halfway through the practice.

', it complements and has no conflict with Xiao Gu's 'Frost Spirit Root' passed down from the ancient lineage. This also shows that this way is not false, and the gods do exist.

And the visions of the past few days indicate to some extent that the ‘Nightmare God’ has truly achieved enlightenment.”

"……I see."

After listening to her analysis, Gu Shuang finally understood that letting them go was not a wrong decision, but the only way.

"But, there's still one thing I don't understand."

She looked at Xiang Xinkui seriously, her doubts not dispelled.

"Miss, please tell me, since the first-generation spirit envoy has become a 'true god', why would he willingly become a subordinate of a certain force and be at the mercy of Palace Master Lu, whose cultivation level is only at the stage of transcending tribulation?"
