We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 613: She Lost a Sword in the Mortal World

Night fell over Hongxiu Palace.

Wangxin lay upon her bed, gradually drifting into sleep.

As Wangxinʼs breathing grew steady and even, her chest rose and fell along with it.

”Xiao Mo... Xiao Mo...”

Deep in sleep, Wangxinʼs brow furrowed, then slowly relaxed, softly calling out Xiao Moʼs name.

There was no telling what memory of the past she had recalled, or what dream she found herself in.

”Migu...”

By contrast, Little Hundun, curled up nearby, could not sleep at all.

Little Hundun rolled about on the bed like a ball, unable to settle.

Every time Hundun thought of how that scoundrel of a master had gone off flirting with another woman, leaving her own mistress out in the cold, she burned with indignation!

Though that woman was, admittedly, quite lovely, still, regardless of anything else, her own mistress had searched for him for so long.

How could her master go and be with another woman like that?!

And her own mistress, honestly.

What did she mean by ”itʼs enough just to know heʼs doing well”?

Her mistress clearly wanted so badly to be with him!

”This wonʼt do! If this continues, my own mistress really will just stand by and watch her master be affectionate with another woman, doing nothing at all!”

The more Little Hundun thought about it, the angrier she grew, and the angrier she grew, the more she thought about it.

At last, Little Hundun made up her mind, she would help her mistress win Xiao Mo back!

First! She would teach that woman a little lesson!

This Hundun would make sure she understood, her master belonged to her mistress alone!

”Migu!”

No sooner thought than done.

Little Hundun flew out of the room, wandering through the palace grounds while sniffing the air insistently.

At last, Little Hundun caught the scent of the woman from that afternoon.

Little Hundun beat her wings, flying toward that particular sleeping palace.

Flying into the palace hall marked ”Han Jiu Palace,” Little Hundun quickly found the room where that woman resided.

Little Hundun quietly pushed open the door, slipping inside.

The woman lay upon her bed, already fast asleep.

”Hmph hmph hmph! Mere human, let this Hundun show you a thing or two!”

Little Hundun flew forward, extending her little wing, gently patting the womanʼs cheek, trying to wake her.

Before long, Little Hundun saw the womanʼs brow furrow, seeming about to wake.

The instant the woman opened her eyes, Little Hundun transformed herself into a fearsome, monstrous form.

Hundun opened her enormous maw, baring sharp teeth, as though about to swallow her whole in a single bite!

And the terrifying aura radiating from her entire being was more than enough to strike terror into any ordinary human.

”Woman! This Hundun commands you, from this day forward, cease your flirtatious posturing before that man Xiao Mo!” Hundunʼs voice thundered into Qin Siyaoʼs mind. ”Otherwise, should this Hundun catch you at it again, I will swallow you whole in one bite!”

And just as Hundun waited for Qin Siyao to soil herself in terror, the woman instead slowly sat up, smiling gently at Hundun, her tone carrying a note of amusement, “A Hundun, is it? Now thatʼs rather rare. Iʼve heard the last remaining Hundun in this world resides with a certain nun at Kongnian Temple. Since youʼre here, your master must be somewhere within this palace as well.”

”This... this Hundun doesnʼt understand what youʼre saying. This Hundun is very fierce! Rawr!”

Hundun opened her maw wide, trying once more to intimidate her but the next instant, Hundun felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon her.

Hundun tried to break free, but found herself utterly unable to move.

”How could this be?”

Hundunʼs heart lurched with alarm.

Looking at the woman before her, her eyes now carried a certain fear.

Hundun realized something at once: this woman before her was, in truth, extraordinarily dangerous!

Her own cultivation level was at the Immortal realm, and yet before this woman, she had no chance to resist at all! This meant this womanʼs cultivation had already reached the Ascension realm!

An Ascension realm cultivator, appearing within the palace of some small kingdom, married to the ruler of this small nation?

”The world says Hundun beings are naturally androgynous, but in truth, Hundun is naturally maternal, simply capable of bearing offspring on its own.” Qin Siyao studied Hundun carefully. ”Though, Iʼve heard that consuming Hundun flesh helps extend oneʼs lifespan and advance oneʼs cultivation. I wonder if thatʼs true.”

”Migu! Migu! (What are you planning to do?)”

Hundunʼs fleshy little body had already begun sweating, entirely from fear.

”Ha ha ha, donʼt worry, I have no interest in eating you.” Qin Siyao laughed softly, covering her mouth. ”I simply want to know a little about your master. Ah, that is, about Master Wangxin.”

Qin Siyao extended a finger, gently poking her ”head”, “Why donʼt you tell me about your master, hmm?”

”Migu! Migu! (Even if it means death, I will never betray my master!)” Hundun said with fierce determination, appearing utterly loyal.

”Iʼm not asking you to betray your master.”

Qin Siyao smiled.

”Iʼve already heard roughly whatʼs happened between your master and my husband. You came to find me tonight, telling me to stay away from my husband. Isnʼt that simply trying to steal a man away on your masterʼs behalf?”

”But hereʼs the thing youʼve gotten wrong: right now, your greatest enemy, yours and your masterʼs, isnʼt me at all.”

”So, Iʼd like to team up with your master, to deal with someone else. What do you say?”

…

The Hall of Mind Nurturing.

Xiao Mo, exhausted after a full dayʼs work, had already fallen asleep and just as Xiao Mo slept soundly, the voice of the Book of a Hundred Lives rose within his mind—

[Book of a Hundred Lives, the ”Divine Spirit” life experience is still being prepared. Please be patient, host. However, the Book of a Hundred Lives can currently provide the host with a small amount of information regarding the ”Divine Spirit” life. Would the host like to view it?]

Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually clearing.

”Yes.” Xiao Mo agreed.

Truth be told, Xiao Mo felt extraordinarily curious about this next life experience because this was the first time the Book of a Hundred Lives had ever required such a long preparation period.

Though he still could not enter the Book of a Hundred Lives itself, viewing some sort of ”preview” would do just as well and as Xiao Mo agreed.

Xiao Moʼs consciousness blurred once more.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mo found himself within an entirely white expanse of heaven and earth.

Within this white expanse, there hung only a single painting.

In the painting, a woman dressed in pure white stood, gripping a long sword, held behind her back, the breeze stirring the hem of her robe.

She raised her head, gazing calmly up at the heavens and beneath her feet lay the mortal world.

Xiao Mo did not know who this woman before him was, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable stirring in his heart, as though he had known her for a very, very long time.

Until the collapse of heaven and earth, until the very end of all ages...

By the time Xiao Mo came back to himself, he had already stepped forward, his fingers touching the painted scroll.

The instant Xiao Mo touched it, the scroll rippled outward like a spring lake, circle upon circle.

The painting dissolved, and before Xiao Mo appeared two lines of ink-written text—

In the mortal world, she met a person.

In the mortal world, she lost a sword.
