Let Me Explain, Fairy-Chapter 63 - Sixty The Drowning Person

63: Chapter Sixty: The Drowning Person

63 -Sixty: The Drowning Person

Walking along the narrow passageway leading to the surface, the surroundings were as dark as death itself.

Their footsteps were so light that Xu Yuan could clearly hear the disordered breathing of the woman beside him.

She was clutching his wrist.

Both hands were clinging, holding on very tightly, as if terrified that this tangible feeling would suddenly dissipate.

Xu Yuan silently continued climbing upwards.

Su Jinxuan’s charming brows and eyes no longer held the seductive allure they had at first sight, only a pitiable trace of helplessness.

“In such a serene environment, has Miss Su been sleeping well these days?”

The man’s voice, gentle and refined as jade, suddenly echoed in the silent extended corridor.

This time,

he did not call her Jinxuan.

After a two-second silence,

her slightly trembling voice came through:

“Xu…

Xu Changtian, you, you’re just a devil, if you have the guts, just kill me directly.”

She no longer called him Third Young Master.

In this roundabout display of superficial affection, there was no use.

She was afraid,

she loathed,

she wanted to kill the devil-like man beside her.

Hearing her words, Xu Yuan was not annoyed; he chuckled softly:

“If I am a devil, then why is Miss Su holding onto me so tightly?”

“…” Su Jinxuan fell silent, but she did not let go.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan casually pulled his wrist free from her tight grasp.

“Ah….”

The sense of solidity her hands had held onto vanished, and Su Jinxuan immediately let out a panicked cry, then began to frantically search for his presence.

Xu Yuan controlled his footsteps, silently stepping to the side, Origin Qi entering his sight, silently watching the woman groping in the dark corridor.

Was her reaction exaggerated?

It was not exaggerated.

In the beginning, when he went to the experience hall to do this, even including the time he slept, he only lasted a few hours.

The first few minutes felt quite novel, quite inconsequential, even the softness surrounding him was rather comfortable.

But as time passed, the soundless darkness caused the restlessness in his heart to rapidly spread.

To persevere during such times, one must divert attention, thinking about things from the past.

Xu Yuan had done just this in the experience hall back then, and while reminiscing, he even fell asleep due to fatigue from the day before.

But do you think everything is fine after you fall asleep?

Not at all.

It was after waking up that the real ordeal began, the kind of silence all around, the feeling of struggling helplessly in softness, unable to make a sound, as if eternally falling into an abyss, that’s the despairing stuff.

And these complicated negative feelings of despair occurred even though Xu Yuan had mentally prepared, knowing he could release himself from the restraints at any time.

When Su Jinxuan woke up, there was no professional staff to help her loosen the binds as she struggled.

She didn’t know how long she would be tied in this place.

All that awaited her was struggle, struggling until she was tired and dozed off, and after waking up being devoured again by the deathly silence without knowing the time or space.

Over and over again.

Having endured ten days, Xu Yuan was deeply impressed that Su Jinxuan had not gone mad.

After groping for a while and failing to find his body again, Su Jinxuan simply hugged her arms across her chest and crouched down on the ground, curling up.

She did not beg for mercy; she just stubbornly bit her lip, hugging her legs and curling up against the wall.

After quietly watching for a few moments, Xu Yuan rubbed his brow.

Seeing her like this, why did it feel like he had become some kind of villain?

It was this woman who had attacked him for no reason first.

If it wasn’t for his Innate Soul Body’s will-spirit being firm and consolidated, he would have already become her dog by now.

“Hmph.”

A soft snort.

Su Jinxuan immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, her alluring peach blossom eyes misty with a trace of haze.

But she had no cultivation, and the bizarre will-spirit spores of the Enchantress Divine Physique had all been sealed away, she could not even introspect, let alone see in this darkness.

Xu Yuan watched her thus and no longer controlled his footsteps.

Maybe she was acting, maybe she truly was frightened.

But none of that mattered.

The secret report from Jin City was enough for him to do a lot to her.

He walked slowly to Su Jinxuan’s side and crouched down:

“Miss Su, stop being so stubborn, alright?”

As he spoke, he slowly reached out his hand and gently placed it on her curled-up knees:

“Hold on to me, we’re going up.”

“……”

“……”

……

Changhong Valley, Secret Realm.

This was already the third day since Qin Mo had entered this particular Secret Realm space, and the first day his injuries had healed.

Hiding in a cave, he stealthily peered outside.

Blood-red and eerie mist pervaded the entire Secret Realm, with vague and elusive shadows drifting through the fog.

Besides that,

There was the “boom—” “boom—” of the earth’s trembling that accompanied it.

Those were footsteps.

Looking up, he could faintly make out some huge and hazy figures wandering aimlessly through the blood fog.

“Old man, old man…”

Qin Mo called out with his will-spirit in his mind.

Soon, a deep voice, as if it came with its own bass, lazily responded to him:

“Hmm?

What’s up?”

Qin Mo’s inner voice was a tad exasperated:

“You didn’t mention these monsters; what are these damned things?”

The middle-aged voice chuckled, unfazed: “Don’t make a fuss; they’re just Demonic Beasts that have been mutated by foreign ghosts, containing Demon Crystals.

These things are a great supplement for your Cultivation Technique.”

Qin Mo couldn’t hide his irritation, and he sneered with frustration in his mind; “Supplement your own head, I’ll be thankful if I’m not squashed dead by these things!”

“Hehe~”

The middle-aged voice laughed lightly: “Don’t be hasty.

This Secret Realm was once breached by foreign ghosts; there should have been some ordinary people taking shelter here.

With your current strength, you should be able to kill these mutated ordinary people.

“Moreover, if you desire my power to rescue your beloved, you must take some risk.

However, I’d still like to advise you, taking offense on behalf of a beauty is a foolish thing to do.”

He paused for a moment,

And then the middle-aged voice reminded him casually: freēwēbηovel.c૦m

“The man you saw last time driving the carriage should be a Third Grade Great Master, and the person behind that Third Young Master should be reasonably powerful too.

If you kill him, you’ll really spark a major vendetta.”

Qin Mo gathered his spirit, exhaled softly and asked in a low voice:

“Miss Su saved me, she was forced, I can’t just sit by and do nothing.

Besides, old man, as you saw earlier, even if I don’t kill that dandy, he surely won’t let me off.”

The middle-aged voice sighed slightly, and chuckled inappropriately: “If you had taken my advice earlier and gone for that Great Yin Yang Joyful Powder, you wouldn’t be having all these troubles.

One dose of the Joyful Powder and you’d have her in bed already.”

“….” Qin Mo fell silent.

Seeing his silence, the middle-aged voice stopped teasing and said in a low voice:

“Just kidding, don’t get angry.

That girl has the Enchantress Divine Physique.

I reckon by now that Third Young Master has already fallen under her control.

As long as they don’t notice anything odd about that so-called Third Young Master, she is safe.”

Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief:

“Old man, you say these things are Demonic Beasts mutated by foreign ghosts?

What are foreign ghosts?”

“You don’t know what foreign ghosts are?”

The middle-aged voice seemed surprised, but then he sighed deeply: “It seems a lot has happened over these few thousand years; ah, back in the day…”

“Old man…

can you cut the chatter?” Qin Mo interrupted with a complaint.

The middle-aged voice seemed a bit wronged: “Stuck in this Soul Nourishing Ring for thousands of years with no one to talk to, I could only delve into Cultivation Techniques.

Now that I’ve passed the techniques on to you, you won’t even humor an old man with a brief chat…”

“….” Qin Mo.

“Hahaha.” The middle-aged voice burst into laughter, then swiftly composed himself and spoke seriously: “Alright, no more jokes.

Foreign ghosts come from the depths of the Great Desert, a very dangerous kind of existence.

If it hadn’t been for the surge of Origin Qi and the emergence of heroes, these foreign ghosts might have already wiped out our human race.”

Qin Mo furrowed his brow.

Dayan is bordered by the sea to the east, the Barbarian Tribes to the north, the Great Desert to the northwest, and the Ancient Abyss to the southwest, with only the south being the most stable.

Because it shares its border with the Great Desert.

According to the information he knew, the Great Desert was nothing more than a barren land unsuitable for any living creature.

“Is the Great Desert that dangerous?”

“Or what?”

The middle-aged voice said with some emotion:

“Kid, only a Saint can create a space.

“Yet, this Secret Realm space was breached by foreign ghosts.

What does this imply?

Surely you can figure that out, right?”
