Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Aunt and Niece Who Ran Away from Home_1

“Who gave you the audacity to run off without so much as a word of notice?”

The woman restraining A’Qing was tall and slender, with a beautiful yet not overly glamorous appearance, gentle and tranquil, wearing a simple long gown.

“I… I left a note.”

A’Qing instinctively wanted to flee, but she found that no matter what, she couldn’t break free from the other’s grasp.

With no other choice, she forced a well-behaved smile and pleaded in a pitiful voice, “Auntie, could you please let me off just this once?”

“Xu Qing’er!”

The woman called Auntie pinched her cheek with annoyance and scolded, “Have you lost your will to live? The outside is not a place for someone in the Embrace Pill Realm like you, and you even dared to take the Xu Family’s Array manual! Do you want to anger your father to death?”

“There are so many interesting things in the book, none of which I’ve ever seen. Just let me have another look…”

A’Qing continued to beg for mercy, but the corner of her eye stealthily glanced at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.

When would Brother Shen realize he had lost track of her?

“Heh, still hoping someone will come to your rescue.”

The woman effortlessly lifted her up and spoke softly, “I brought the full set of the Hundred Ghosts Spirit Stabilizing Formation with me this time, would you like to give it a try?”

“Hmph.”

Xu Qing’er gave up struggling, limbs pointing toward the ground.

Auntie was the Xu Family’s oddity, not interested in learning about formations but strangely adept at cultivation.

Her prowess in the Ultimate Realm Primordial overwhelmed the older generation in the family, leaving them speechless.@@novelbin@@

Add to that her father’s extreme fondness for her and the various complete formations he had prepared for her, and her strength was unimaginable.

“I would advise you to put me down; otherwise…”

“Otherwise, what?”

A hint of pride incongruent with her gentle features surfaced on the woman’s face.

“Otherwise, you might have to stay here.”

A detached voice rose behind the woman, her face showing surprise as she instinctively wanted to look back but immediately felt the palm pressing tightly against her back.

Within the palm, burning intent flickered unpredictably.

As if it could melt a Dao Infant.

The woman took a deep breath, loosened her fingers, and tossed the girl aside, “Who are you?”

A’Qing emerged with a look of delight, darting behind Shen Yi to hide, only to stick out her head, “I definitely don’t want to go back!”

Hearing this sentence, Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

He cast a sidelong glance at A’Qing.

He had just seen the woman holding her, whispering threats, and thought she was caught by someone from Mysterious Light Cave.

Now, it seemed more like the story of a rebellious young person who had run away from home and been caught by a family member.

Shen Yi casually stowed away the Leaving Fire.

He couldn’t be bothered to interfere any further.

He turned and walked back toward the Food Pavilion.

Although A’Qing was very useful to him, he wasn’t about to steal someone in front of their elder, especially since the places he planned to go were quite dangerous.

To be honest, to still be a good obedient bird without freedom, even at the Embrace Pill Realm, was beyond his expectations.

“Hey!”

A’Qing was about to explain, asking Brother Shen to let her aunt go.

Suddenly, she noticed her backup had disappeared, and once again she faced the woman’s cold expression.

She shivered, hurriedly squeezing out a smile, trying to awaken the woman’s maternal affection, “Auntie, Qing’er admits her wrongs.”

But she saw the woman rub her wrist and reach out toward her.

“Auntie!”

“Auntie, I’m Qing’er… Xu Wanyun, don’t go too far!”

“I think you’re the one going too far. What did you just call me?” Xu Wanyun grabbed her and was ready to give her a good beating. She raised her hand, but looking at that pitiful little face, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Sighing, she looked in the direction of the young man’s departure, “You even dared to give him the Breath Concealing Array Plate. Do you realize that with the Xu Family’s mark on it, if he has ties to the Mysterious Light Cave, you’d already be dead.”

The person approached me silently, using the same method I had used just moments before to approach Xu Qing’er.

“Not related at all,”

Xu Qing’er beckoned, and after a moment of confusion, Xu Wanyun leaned her face closer.

The next moment, her fair complexion suddenly changed.

Two slender fingers pinched her face again, as if wanting to tear Xu Qing’er’s face apart with force.

Getting skilled, aren’t you? Just came out and already daring to provoke the Mysterious Light Cave, and that’s a real Transcendent Spirit True Man.

Boasting like a smug young man.

About how he had a role in the fight against Divinity Transformation, delivering the crucial final blow.

“…”

Xu Qing’er rolled her eyes tearfully, “I told you because I saw that Xu Family has a grudge against the Mysterious Light Cave, don’t tell anyone else.”

“Your Xu Family, your Xu Family!”

Xu Wanyun got her anger out on her face, then let go, looking somewhat shaken.

She waved her hand and dismissed the surrounding Breath Concealing Method Array.

Not discussing the matter further.

“Come home with me,” Xu Wanyun said, leaving no room for doubt.

“I still want to go see the Year Wood… A living piece of Year Wood, hey, it might even become a Spiritual Root, don’t you want to see it?” Xu Qing’er tempted, knowing her aunt best. The latter didn’t like formations at all, and in the entire family, she might be the one who hated hiding behind arrays the most, apart from herself.

“Stop pretending, if you didn’t want to come out, why did you come looking for me and not have dad come?”

“I…”

Xu Wanyun was rendered speechless for a moment, then glared at her resentfully, “Just this once, and never again.”

An Ultimate Realm Grandmaster, plus numerous formations by his side.

Could be said to be one of the top powerhouses in this region.

Yet without the freedom to even breathe the air.

Anyone would feel indignant about this, but she fooled all her family members with her usually calm facade, except for this niece who could see through her pretense.

“Say it, where is the Year Wood? I’ll take you to see it,” Xu Wanyun adjusted her breathing, feeling a slight burning on her back, still somewhat defiant.

Using Xu Family’s items against its own family, utterly excessive.

“I don’t need you to take me, your experience in the pugilist world is too shallow, so clumsy,”

Xu Qing’er finally got free and directly ran towards the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.

Entering the pavilion, she found Shen Yi in a corner.

She patted her chest, handing over a small notebook, “Big Brother Shen, these are the things I just exchanged, it cost about a third of the savings in my storage bag, and another fourth for that piece of information.”

“Is it done?” Shen Yi raised his eyes to look.

Xu Qing’er turned to look at her aunt walking into the pavilion with an expressionless face and muttered, “Sort of.”

“What’s all this?”

Shen Yi flipped through the notebook, finding the listed items somewhat cryptic.

“I looked at the Cultivation Techniques they brought for exchange; they were all worthless. The really powerful methods are rarely carried around by anyone, so I simply exchanged for some other things.”

A’Qing leaned in close to Shen Yi, her breath as fragrant as orchids, “These are to repair the Nine Swords Annihilation Array. I know how to do it, and I can even improve it.”

Seeing their posture,

Xu Wanyun involuntarily clenched her fist.

“Stay away from me,”

Shen Yi said, slightly exasperated as he pushed A’Qing’s head away.

Don’t forget, in the eyes of others, this youngster still looks like a scholar, and with a handsome and pretty appearance, it’s very easy to be misunderstood.

“Oh, okay!”

Xu Qing’er nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Xu Wanyun finally eased her anger somewhat, composed herself, and sat down opposite Shen Yi.
