How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 438: Before Departure, Undressing to Bid Farewell

Lin Xiaosu lay on the bed, performing a habitual little review of this journey.

Overall, the harvest was quite substantial.

Firstly, he got up close with the Lost Lotus, breaking the spiritual shackles on himself. Although his spiritual power was merely at Level 21, far from the worldly maximum, people must have foresight. Some locks, if they can be opened, should be unlocked early.

Secondly, he had, at this stage, sabotaged the Bridge Realm Bai Races’ millennia-old plan.

The Bridge Realm Bai Races were forming alliances, charging at these great arrays generation after generation, which was indeed very risky. But with his intervention, this grand plan suffered an unprecedented setback. There were very few array masters in the Bridge Realm, and he killed over a hundred of them (besides the eighty-three who died under the patrol array, he killed every outer array master, leaving not one behind when he exited). Indications showed that high-level array masters were almost wiped out by him, and cultivating a new batch would not be a matter of a day or two.

This was at the array master level.

There was another level, even more insidious.

He said through Er Wutian: the goal of the Ancestor Hall is to exhaust the resources of the Bridge Realm and hunt array masters.

This statement is presently a wound to various clans; in the future, it will be a thorn in their sides.

In the future, if anyone wants the clans to contribute money, manpower, or resources, the clans might not listen.

Thirdly, he created trouble for the Li Tian Ancestral Hall out of thin air.

The Li Tian Ancestral Hall is the backing behind Utopia, their true base, deeply hidden underground, and no one can do anything about them. Thus, using barbarians to check barbarians, let the Bridge Realm unite to drive them out!

If the Li Tian Ancestral Hall is really forced to uproot from underground by this, it would be... worth looking forward to.

Well, after this little review, Lin Xiaosu felt he truly had the potential to stir things up.

Satisfied, he slept!

This sleep, he didn’t know how long it lasted. Anyway, when he woke up, the sky was still the same sky, the earth was still the same earth.

In such a place, the Bridge Realm Bai Races are evidently accustomed to it.

But Lin Xiaosu was not accustomed.

Alright, soon he would say goodbye to this place where day and night blurred together, this damn place...

Suddenly, the door was softly knocked.

Lin Xiaosu’s Primordial Spirit probed out, a Level 9 storm surged in his heart.

What’s going on?

How could this be?

He pondered for a moment, his mind raced...

The door knocked a second time.

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath of the sulfur-laden air, touched his evidently unfamiliar face, walked to the door, and opened it.

Outside, a blonde beauty quietly looked at him; this woman was exactly Li Xueyi.

There was no Li Feiyang, not even her usual inseparable Jiao’er; she was alone.

Her eyes were so complex.

Lin Xiaosu could wager all the silver notes on his person; she definitely... already knew who he was!

However, he thought he might still have a small chance...

He slightly frowned, "Miss... anything?"

The voice was absolutely unfamiliar.

Li Xueyi directly entered the door, gently waved her hand, the outside noise completely sealed off.

This was the most special feature of the underground inn; its soundproofing effect was unparalleled.

Whether the walls were made of black wood or some special animal skeleton, the sound insulation was excellent. Of course, it might also be that the noise made by these non-human creatures wreaking havoc in the rooms was so loud that without absolute sealing, others could not rest.

Li Xueyi leaned against the door, her gaze slowly rising, "Husband!"

With these two words, Lin Xiaosu’s rescue failed.

However, his frown deepened, "Miss, are you..."

Li Xueyi gently raised her hand, placing it next to her full red lips, gently tapping, "Husband, I awakened a very special Li Clan talent, called the Blood Wheel Eye. Under the Blood Wheel Eye, I can see anyone’s bloodline very clearly with just one glance."

Lin Xiaosu’s heart pounded...

Blood Wheel Eye!

Bloodline!

In the outside world, skills that could see bloodlines might not be particularly important, as everyone’s bloodline was that of ordinary people. But in the Bridge Realm Bai Races, this kind of skill was at a nuclear weapon level.

Especially when faced with himself!

In the entire Bridge Realm, besides himself, there was probably not a single legitimate Human Clan member.

His human bloodline was like a beacon among countless sparks...

"Husband, could you restore your original appearance?" Li Xueyi asked, "This face isn’t as good-looking as your true one."

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath and gave up struggling.

His face slowly began to change, the dashing and suave young man from before gradually reappearing.

Li Xueyi quietly watched this familiar face, gently extending her hand, hugging his waist, her cheek slowly pressing against his chest.

"Can you really see my bloodline?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes!" Li Xueyi replied, "In Wangchuan Valley, the first time I saw you, I knew you were not a Li Tian clan member, but a Human Clan member."

"Knowing I am of the Human Clan, you still brought me back to Li Shen Mountain?"

"Knowing you are of the Human Clan, that’s exactly why I brought you back to Li Shen Mountain!"

"Why?"

"Because I’ve grown up, I’ve come of age, and my ultimate dream is to find a legitimate Human Clan husband and have a new generation of Li Tian who can traverse both worlds." Li Xueyi chuckled, "Living in the Bridge Realm, you should know this dream is actually a fantasy. So, once encountered, I couldn’t easily let it go."

Ultimate dream!

To birth a new generation of Li Tian!

The knot in Lin Xiaosu’s heart, suspended for so long, was finally untied today.

He had always been wondering what exactly about him attracted her, prompting her to make such a significant change, abandoning her usual personality just to leave a good impression on him.

At first, his guesses were just mundane speculations, like maybe he was a bit handsome, he had saved her life, or perhaps during the rescue, their skin had touched...

But now the answer was revealed.

None of these!

The fundamental reason was simply that he was of the Human Clan.

His Human Clan identity was his biggest secret.

No matter who he was in front of, he didn’t dare to reveal it even slightly.

Who knew that it was exactly this Human Clan identity that made this Li Clan’s favored daughter strive to bring him into the Li Clan’s gates.

The ultimate goal was to have a child with him.

Elsewhere, this would be utter nonsense.

However, in this special Bridge Realm, it might not be...

In her entire life, she could not leave the Bridge Realm.

She could not see the apricot blossom rain, she could not feel the willow breeze, she could not witness the lone smoke beyond the frontier, she could not watch the sunrise, sunset, and the falling stars...

In her brother’s books, she saw the outside world, yet in her entire life, she would never see this world...

Thus, she hoped to give birth to a child, to see the world on her behalf...

Is this nonsense?

Even if it truly was nonsense, when she seriously spoke of this nonsense, it clearly carried a positive and motivational energy...

Lin Xiaosu lightly exhaled: "You should know, this dream of yours goes against the mainstream of the Bridge Realm."

Li Xueyi smiled faintly: "Husband, up until now, haven’t you noticed? I, Li Xueyi, have always been an anomaly in the Bridge Realm! Never have I thought about walking with the mainstream."

Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

"In Qing Wan, you promised me you would make your own choice after I clearly saw all of you. Now... you have fulfilled your promise, you’ve let me see a real you, and I should make my choice!" Li Xueyi gently waved her hand, and her outer garment floated up, revealing a wondrous sight rarely seen in the heavens and earth.

The wind blew, though it swirled and tangled, it still wove through valleys and mountains, rippling a pool of spring water.

The rain came, early on with spring tides gently surging, later with mountain floods exiting the valley.

The clouds drifted past, floating in Li Xueyi’s sea of consciousness, and she forgot who she was.

Flowers bloomed, on Li Xueyi’s cherry lips...

After the clouds and rain, flowers bloomed in a dim room, Li Xueyi’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, her beautiful eyes slowly opened, filled with endless surprise, endless tenderness, and the fragrant breath she exhaled was equally captivating.

"Husband!"

The word ’husband’ was born out of a ruse to confuse the enemy, but today, it finally returned to its original meaning.

The voice was like a whisper, a contented whisper.

"Xueyi, will you regret today’s choice in the future?" Lin Xiaosu gently brushed away her disheveled golden hair on her forehead.

"I will never regret it," Li Xueyi said. "But I am a little scared..."

"Scared of what?"

"I’m afraid... I’m afraid I won’t bear to let you leave, I’m afraid I’ll do everything to make you stay," Li Xueyi said softly. "So husband, leave now, do not look back!"

"I am really leaving..."

"Go!" Li Xueyi loosened her grip on him gently, bit by bit, inch by inch.

Lin Xiaosu left the bed, dressed, walked to the door, looked back, and saw Li Xueyi sitting on the bed watching him. Her look finally bore a sadness never before seen.

Lin Xiaosu stepped back!

He held her up, his lips pressed against hers, tight, very tight.

Li Xueyi’s hands turned and held him, also tight, very tight.

Finally, she gently separated her lips from his, gazing at his eyes foolishly: "Husband, don’t make me any promises before you leave, don’t... because the road ahead, we actually can’t see it, I don’t want you to carry a burden in your heart, I don’t want it!"

Lin Xiaosu slowly let go, slowly turned around, slowly walked out of the room, and didn’t look back.

Leaving the city, climbing the mountain, he still looked back.

As if telepathic, he immediately found the highest point of the city wall, he saw her, her golden hair flowing, standing on the city wall, gently waving.

Smiling...

Lin Xiaosu also smiled at her...

This smile seemed to erase all the sadness of their parting and left a beautiful imprint.

He slowly turned back, ascending step by step.

The mountain path spiraled, Lin Xiaosu did not see the Old Zhang he met when he came.

He looked at the stone wall where he had appeared and vanished, with a small question mark inside, at the time he met Old Zhang, he didn’t feel anything, there were many strange species underground, the looks of one like Old Zhang was not particularly surprising, at least it had a human shape, didn’t it?

However, after reading too many books in Qing Wan, talking to Li Feiyang about too many topics.

He learned something.

The species resembling Old Zhang was called the Rou Clan.

The Rou Clan did not exist in the Bridge Realm.

That was a species of the Earth Core World, an incredibly powerful species.

Why would a species that doesn’t exist in the Bridge Realm be the first person he encountered when entering it?

There must be many mysteries of the underground beneath...

Lin Xiaosu stepped into the Mountain God Temple.

Two Li Tian Clan members raised their eyes, staring at him like two wild wolves: "Boy, what are you doing here?"

The voice was sinister, steady.

Lin Xiaosu said: "Just passing through!"

"Passing through? First do a test, then explain your origins and destination!"

"Damn! Another couple of thorough workers!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, zap!
