It was almost dusk, and the sky outside the Sage Gathering Inn was gradually sprinkled with the afterglow of the setting sun. The pedestrians on the bustling streets gradually became fewer. The evening sun shone on every house on the street, and the halo it projected was so charming and beautiful. This was the benefit of the ancient times without pollution. A few finches flew over their heads happily, seemingly ready to return to their nests. All in all, the scene was so beautiful and harmonious. There were very few people in the Sage Gathering Inn at this moment. From the beginning when it was full of guests to now when there were less than ten people, a few hours had passed. Looking at the inconspicuous seat by the window, two extremely handsome men were still drinking. He looked extremely happy. As they drew closer, they could clearly see that the person sitting on the left was a man dressed in a moon-white robe. He was currently drinking in high spirits and was pouring wine for the silver-haired, blue-eyed, cold, handsome man sitting opposite him. The latter only accepted it silently, his face expressionless. However, his gaze was unconsciously looking at the ornament on the right hand of the person before him. His expression was complicated, as if he was thinking about something. Strangely enough, the two of them had been drinking wine since they met. Now, the table was filled with wine jugs. In the end, the waiter had already claimed that they had sold out. However, they were still not drunk at all. Weren't these two people Zhang Zixun and Xuanyuan Qingjue whom they had just met today? Oh, right, perhaps he should be called Young Master Xun Zizhang now. After a few hours of conversation, Zhang Zixun already knew that this peerless young master Xuanyuan Qing in front of her was definitely not from her country, but from a neighboring small country. He was free and unrestrained, and he did not like to be bound. He only liked to travel freely and appreciate the scenery of various countries. However, Zhang Zixun did not notice that the latter was always looking at her with a probing gaze and even a sly smile. Zhang Zixun thought that her male attire was flawless, but Xuanyuan Qingjue was smart enough to see that the small holes in her ears had betrayed her. Zhang Zixun did not notice this at all. She was still immersed in the joy of making her first friend in ancient times. However, just because Zhang Zixun didn't notice it didn't mean that Qing 'er, her attendant, didn't notice it. Although she had been demoted to a mortal and had lost her magic power, her spiritual consciousness as an immortal was still there. Ever since this man walked in, she had a faint feeling that something was wrong. She kept feeling that there was an evil aura about him, a kind of charm. In any case, it was not simple. Moreover, he had been staring at the purple butterfly dream in Miss's hand since he came in. His gaze was complicated. Qing 'Er had always felt that he harbored ill intentions. However, the young miss was a simple person with no schemes. Moreover, this man seemed to have charmed her again. They were chatting happily, so why would she pay attention to such details?
"Brother Xuanyuan, drink!" Zhang Zixun was already half-drunk at the moment. She raised her glass and said to Xuanyuan Qingjue.
"Young Master, you drank too much. It's getting late. We should go back. Old Master will be worried if we go back late.”Qing 'Er frowned as she held onto Zhang Zixun, who was about to fall.
"Yes, I am. Qing 'er, don't be a wet blanket. I'm happy to meet Young Master Xuanyuan today!”
"Young Master Xun, I see that you are already a little drunk. Why don't we stop here today and talk another day?”Xuanyuan Qingjue looked at her drunk face and blushed. He suddenly felt that she was very cute. Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat."Why would I have such thoughts? She's just a mortal. Even if she has some magic power, she can't touch my heartstrings! What happened to me? Could it be…" Xuanyuan Qingjue said calmly as he got rid of the strange thoughts in his heart.
"Thank you, Young Master Xuanyuan. I'll bring you back now!”Qing 'Er said as she supported Zhang Zixun's drunk body. At the same time, he helped her out of the inn.
"Yes, I am. Young Master Xuanyuan, we want to drink more!”Zhang Zixun struggled to leave in a daze. How could Qing 'Er pull her by herself? She could only struggle free. Zhang Zixun walked to the table again and said in a muffled voice,"Brother Xuanyuan, you seem to be…On my hand. This thing. Very interested?" Hearing this, the latter was shocked, and his eyes immediately became sharp."Did she find out? That's impossible!" Xuanyuan Qingjue smiled and said,""Why do you say that, Brother Xun?" As he spoke, his eyes were already closed, ready to break his soul under the sword if anything went wrong.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Do you want to know what this thing is?" Zhang Zixun raised her hand in front of Xuanyuan Qingjue so that he could see the purple butterfly dream more clearly. Hearing this, the former's interest was piqued. From the beginning, he had noticed that this thing was emitting a strange fluctuation. With his eyesight as the King of Ten Thousand Foxes, he could naturally tell that this was no ordinary item. Perhaps the immortal energy fluctuation he felt at that time came from this place. Xuanyuan Qingjue looked at it with a fiery and greedy gaze. But he tried his best to hide it. As the king of ten thousand foxes, what kind of magic tool had he not seen? However, he was really tempted by this item today. If he was not mistaken, this was an ancient immortal weapon. If he could obtain it, it would greatly improve his cultivation. At that time, the entire Demon Realm and even the Human Realm would be under his rule. Xuanyuan Qingjue didn't have the ability to resist such temptation. At this time, there was almost no one in the inn. The waiter walked to their side and said in embarrassment,"Young masters, I'm sorry. We're already closed.”
"Wait a moment, I haven't had my fill yet!”Zhang Zixun said. The waiter retreated to the side with some difficulty. Xuanyuan Qingjue remained calm as he sat at the side. Zhang Zixun continued,""Brother Xuanyuan, do you want to know what this is?”
"I don't know. Brother Xun, can you tell me?”
"Haha." "Oh, this." Zhang Zixun smiled.”Xuanyuan Qingjue's heart was in his throat. He wanted to confirm his thoughts with his own ears.
"Young Master, you're drunk! Let's go back!" At this moment, Qing `er spoke up to stop him. This matter couldn't be said casually, and he couldn't let the young miss spill the beans while she was drunk. Zhang Zixun revealed an imperceptible smile and said,"Qing `er. Why are you so anxious? So what if you tell me?" The Green Girl wanted to say something more, but in the next moment, she was shocked to find that she could no longer speak. She could not even move. Before that, Xuanyuan Qingjue had just glared at her without leaving a trace. "Who is this person?" The Green Girl was terrified. What did she want to do to Miss? There was indeed something wrong with this person! Miss, wake up! He's not a good person!”Qing 'Er was extremely anxious, but she could not do anything.
"Brother Xun, what exactly is this thing? It's so strange." He was a little anxious. If he really wanted it, then he had to get it. At this moment, Zhang Zixun suddenly smiled mysteriously.""It seems that Brother Xuanyuan is really interested in him! Why don't we let Qing 'Er go first?"
You're not drunk?" Xuanyuan Qingjue narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous look.
"You don't have to look at me like that. From the moment you taught that man a lesson, I knew that you weren't an ordinary person. After that, she kept staring at my purple butterfly dream. Plus, you and I drank so much wine, but you're fine. I'm even more certain of my thoughts. Tell me, why did you get close to me?”Zhang Zixun suddenly stood up and said with a sharp gaze. At the same time, he moved his fingers behind him and released the restriction on Qing 'er's body. Xuanyuan Qingjue narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly without saying a word.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Since Brother Xuanyuan doesn't want to tell me, then I'll take my leave!”As he spoke, he walked out of the inn in a carefree manner.
"If you want to leave, leave your things behind!" Xuanyuan Qingjue shouted coldly, and the Jade River Styx in his hand pierced towards Zhang Zixun with his will. The cold air in the middle caused the water vapor in the air to instantly condense into ice crystals.
"Miss, be careful!" Qing Er's face paled as she called out. Zhang Zixun did not even turn her head when she felt the intense cold air coming from behind her. Instead, she revealed a strange smile. Just as the sword was about to pierce into her back, he instantly turned his body and bent his waist. He easily dodged it. At the same time, she stretched out her jade-like hands and pulled Qing 'Er onto the street.
"Interesting!" Xuanyuan Qingjue revealed a playful smile. His figure flashed and he stood opposite Zhang Zixun.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. This young lady's skills were not bad. She was indeed not an ordinary person!”Xuanyuan Qingjue said playfully. In fact, the reason why he was interested in the purple butterfly dream in Zhang Zixun's hand was not only because it was a rare ancient divine artifact, but also because he had always felt that this thing was very familiar. He could not describe what kind of feeling it was, but he felt that it was familiar. Therefore, he had to figure it out!
The sky was completely dark, and there was no one on the long street. The night breeze was slightly chilly. Zhang Zixun and Qing 'Er stood quietly. She did not know why she did not feel afraid at all. It was not because she had magic power, but because she had a strange feeling that this silver-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful man in front of her would not hurt her. She also felt that it was very strange.
"Miss, is it fun for a woman to dress up as a man? Hand it over, I don't want to hurt you.”Xuanyuan Qingjue said lightly. There was no expression on his face.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. So you've already seen through my identity? Not bad! If you want my things, then let's see if you have the ability!”
"Alright, since you don't want to drink a toast, then don't blame me for being impolite!”As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade River Styx in his hand flashed again. Under the control of Xuanyuan Qingjue's will, it brought a burst of cold air towards Zhang Zixun's face.
"Humph!" Zhang Zixun coldly snorted. She circulated the mana in her body and the purple light on her fingertip flourished. She pointed at the sword from afar. In an instant, the purple energy and the dazzling white cold energy collided. For a moment, they were in a stalemate. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qingjue was slightly shocked. Although he felt that this woman was extraordinary, he didn't expect her to be so powerful! It was actually able to withstand the attack of his supreme demon weapon, the Jade River Styx. However, he was not an ordinary person, so he was not flustered by this. After failing in his attack, he took back his sword. He leaped into the air. He was prepared to use his ultimate technique, Underworld Sword. He waved the sword in his hand and formed a seal in his hand. It looked extraordinary. Seeing this, Zhang Zixun did not dare to be negligent. The magic power in her body quickly circulated, and the purple butterfly dream in her hand suddenly glowed with purple light, turning into a protective shield in front of her chest. In the sky, Xuanyuan Qingjue had completed his hand seal. The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped, and ice crystals began to condense in the air. Zhang Zixun's expression also changed slightly. She still had half of her original magic power, which could protect herself. However, Qing 'er was now a mortal. Therefore, she used all the magic power in her body to maintain the shield in front of her. Just as she was trying her best to deal with it, Xuanyuan Qingjue's sword had arrived. The intense sword qi caused the surrounding sand and stones to fly. It collided with Zhang Zixun's shield and emitted a clear sound. Just as Xuanyuan Qingjue's sword arrived, the intense sword energy caused Zhang Zixun's blood to churn. Her pretty face turned pale. He did not expect this person to be so powerful! Xuanyuan Qingjue's attack was not over yet. The moment he met the shield, his figure suddenly disappeared. Zhang Zixun's face turned pale because she couldn't detect Xuanyuan Qingjue's aura even with her divine sense. In the next moment, she suddenly felt her right hand being bound by a strong force, and she could not move no matter what! Xuanyuan Qingjue's charming face appeared in front of her.
"Everything is over." Without the support of Zhang Zixun's mana, the shield formed by the purple butterfly dream instantly disintegrated and returned to its original state. Zhang Zixun was a little panicked. She did not expect to be defeated so easily.
"Let go of me! Who exactly are you!" Zhang Zixun glared at him fiercely. The latter only smiled wickedly and bent down to pick up the purple butterfly dream from the ground.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" Zhang Zixun said angrily. Xuanyuan Qingjue acted as if he didn't hear anything. Qing 'er wanted to stop him, but as a mortal, she couldn't move even half a step! Xuanyuan Qingjue observed the item in his hand with great interest. Zhang Zixun wanted to snatch it back, but her hands were restrained and her mana was almost exhausted in the fight just now. She was extremely weak now, so she could only glare at the man in front of her with her two almond-shaped eyes. He looked like a handsome young master, but he was a cold and black-bellied man. Zhang Zixun was getting more and more afraid. This purple butterfly dream was very important to her. Not only did she need to use it to contact Taishang Laojun, but she also needed it to find the person she had a three-life marriage with. Therefore, Zhang Zixun's beautiful face was now twisted in anger. He wanted to take it back but was powerless.
"What are you trying to do? What use do you have for it?" Zhang Zixun had completely lost control. She roared at Xuanyuan Qingjue without caring about her image. This was because the purple butterfly dream seemed to have another important function for her, which was to return to her original world. Of course, this was only her ideal outcome. When Zhang Zixun closed her eyes and roared, she did not know that she had shaken her hair bun because she had moved too much. Now, she was in a state where her long hair was flowing. Zhang Zixun vented all the anger in her heart on this roar, but when she calmed down, she strangely did not hear any reaction from the other party. He opened his eyes in confusion and was surprised to see a pair of green eyes with a complicated expression. She couldn't tell what kind of gaze it was. She only knew that there was shock, admiration, and some other factors. The next moment, she was surprised to find that her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and her face felt very hot."What's wrong with me? Why does looking into his eyes make my heart beat faster and my face burn? Could it be that I…No! He's a big bad guy. How can I have such a feeling? No!" Zhang Zixun tried her best to calm herself down. Only then did she realize that her hair had fallen down. In her current state, anyone could tell that she was a girl. She felt her face burning, but she still tried to look Xuanyuan Qingjue in the eye.""What are you looking at? What was he trying to do? Let me go!" However, the latter still did not move and stared straight at her. His gaze changed. Zhang Zixun didn't know that Xuanyuan Qingjue had entered a mysterious state with the purple butterfly dream in his left hand and her hand in his right hand. Just now, Xuanyuan Qingjue saw the beautiful figure that often appeared in his dreams. This time, it was very clear. He could even hear her bell-like laughter. They held hands and played happily in the sea of flowers. He clearly heard her call him Brother Qingjue and heard the promise they made to each other: "Brother Qingjue, Xun Er will be with you forever. Even if you are a demon and I am an immortal, even if the heavens and earth cannot tolerate the anger of men and gods, we will be together forever! Even if he couldn't, he would at least have three lifetimes!”
"Alright, I promise you. Even if you want me to fight against the heavens in the future, I won't hesitate! Our love for three lifetimes will be decided today!" The two of them hugged in the sea of flowers. Xuanyuan Qingjue could clearly see that the man was himself, and the beautiful fairy was holding the purple butterfly dream. Things were originally going well, but a bolt of lightning in the sky forced the two of them apart.
"How dare you, Fairy Lingbo, fall in love with the demon of the demon world. The Queen Mother is furious and will send you to the mortal world to suffer the pain of reincarnation. You can only return to the Heavenly Court after you have achieved enlightenment. The fox demon Xuanyuan had returned to his original form!”In the sky, Thunder God and Lightning Mother announced the Queen Mother's orders mercilessly. Just like that, the two of them were separated. At the last moment, they didn't forget their vows. They promised that they would find each other no matter how many lifetimes they lived. Xuan Yuan also wailed to the heavens, swearing that even if he had to re-cultivate his magic power, he would not be ranked in the celestial class! After thousands of years, the man had reincarnated into a human body, while the woman had reincarnated countless times, but she was still searching. The only connection between them was the purple butterfly dream in the woman's hand. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When everything was over, he suddenly let go of Zhang Zixun's hand. He looked at her in disbelief and threw the thing in his hand at her."Leave, leave, leave immediately! Don't ever let me see you again!”After saying that, Zhang Zixun looked at him with a puzzled expression. With a tap of his toes, he instantly disappeared from her sight.
