Chapter 161: 111. The Sudden Appearance of the Demon Race and the Truth Behind the Death of the Divine Emperor
Until the door closed, Xu Yuan's figure disappeared from sight.
Jing Lixue's eyelashes trembled as she looked towards the location of the west wing room, where Lin Qingque resided.
Whether it was Xu Yuan or Tian Liuli, she had a certain understanding of the actions of both, but only Lin Qingque...
This woman, who clearly knew that the current Xu Yuan was the real "Xu Yuan," had yet to expose her purpose.
After a light sigh, Jing Lixue slowly closed her eyes, veiling those picturesque and magnificent eyes, which contained a determination as if overturning the world for someone didn't matter.
...
Having returned to Le Ge, Xu Yuan bathed with the assistance of Fenger and Linger.
During this time, the twin sisters, who had never experienced worldly matters, inevitably went through another round of astonishment and blushing. Due to having seen blood in the afternoon, there was an unavoidably strong scent, and after they finished wiping his body, their gazes were as hazy as if they were drunk.
Unfortunately, the input and output were disproportionate, and with Tian Liuli and Lin Qingque still there, creating too much commotion would also be noticed by the two of them, so Xu Yuan reined in his feelings.
In the middle of the night, at the third watch.
Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, frowning as he cultivated.

Jing Lixue's words were still somewhat elusive to him, even though he knew all the storylines of the game.
A different way of playing?
What exactly did she mean by that?
Because she knew she had been exposed? So she wanted to try something else, directly?
But since she already knew she had been exposed, shouldn't she continue on instead?
What other tricks? Even if seamless, did she think he would fall for them?
His eyebrows suddenly twitched.
The wind outside the window was as fierce as a tiger's roar, and the sound of rain was faint.
A fragrant breeze slipped through the door crack into his nose; although it was mostly masked by the fresh scent of rain, he could still detect its noble fragrance.
Someone was coming?
Xu Yuan's mind stirred slightly.
Is it Lin Qingque?
Analyzing the personalities of the three of them, it should be her.
Or is it Jing Lixue?
As he pondered this, the door hinge made an almost imperceptible creak.
The tightly closed door seemed to be nudged by the wind, slowly revealing a crack.
The dim light inside flickered with the drafts coming through the crack and then blinked out in an instant, as if someone standing beside it blew it out.
"Hoo~"
At the same time, a barely audible puff of breath also reached his ears.
White smoke rose from the lamp base that still had a dull red gleam after going out.
Xu Yuan watched this scene, slightly eerie in nature, with calm eyes that showed no disturbance.
However, in his memory, such things should not have happened, right?
Could this be the different way of playing that Jing Lixue mentioned?
If this was the different way, then it was indeed beyond his expectation.
"Giggle giggle, little brother... you don't seem to be scared, do you? You are really brave."
A seductive female voice rang in his ear, and a sexy and sultry body pressed up against him from behind.
"Who are you?"
Xu Yuan swept his Divine Sense behind him, but saw nothing.
Suppressing the urge to act, he said with a composed expression, "Princess Luoyang's Manor houses a Nascent Soul high master, aren't you afraid?"
"Who am I? Does it matter? As for the Nascent Soul? Someone will naturally deal with him."
The seductive female voice continued to resonate.
"What's important and what's not isn't for you to decide."
Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly.
The next moment, a bright burst of lightning erupted from behind him.
"How are your Thunder Methods so fast?!"
The woman exclaimed in frustration.
Xu Yuan lightly soared up, and then turned his head mid-air to look back where he had been, yet he saw nothing.
"Hee hee hee, little brother... it's useless, you know. Let me tell you the truth, I'm called the Spirit Behind. Once I cling to your back, unless I reveal myself, you'll never be able to see me."
The woman's gentle breath once again reached his ears, and from within, he could faintly detect a rotten smell.
"This thing is indeed troublesome."
Xu Yuan thought to himself.
Yet, he was not particularly frightened, but merely narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone indifferent, "Is that so? In that case, you might as well never come off."
As his words fell, a bristling bolt of lightning erupted from his back once more.
It was the variation he had learned of the electrified Blue Silver Overlord Spear — Throw You Rem · Iron Mountain Lean.
Only this time, he didn't stop after using it just once like he did before.
As his Spiritual Power flowed continuously, the lightning at his back shone even more brilliantly, and a slender figure could vaguely be seen imprinted within it.
"Wrong, wrong, good brother, you're too forceful, I can't take it~"
Listening to the chattering voice moving away from his ear, Xu Yuan turned to look behind him.
This time, when he turned his head again, he clearly saw the owner of that seductive voice.
It was a stunningly beautiful woman with a frighteningly ample bosom, fox ears, and a fox tail.
The reason he used "a body" rather than "a person" was that her eyes were hollow, with mottled bloodstains at the corners looking like teardrop marks, devoid of life.
It was clear that she had been dead for many years.
However, now, this body had been occupied by an unknown entity and had come to move again.
Xu Yuan looked at the exaggeratedly large chest that only needed a slight dip of the chin to rest upon, his eyes slightly narrowed.
