Hun Changqing laughed and said,
"Hehehe, Brother Yan, you're still young. You don't understand the adult world. You're going to register, right? You're late. There are so many people now, it's hard to squeeze in."
Xiao Yan looked at Hun Changqing speechlessly and said, "Big brother, I'm only two years younger than you. How come I seem like a three-year-old in your mouth?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hun Changqing didn't say anything, but glanced at Xiao Yan's lower body.
Xiao Yan couldn't see Hun Changqing's face, but he felt Hun Changqing's gaze. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject, saying,
"Brother, don't worry, Xiao Yu is a student at Canaan Academy. She can take us straight in. We don't need to squeeze with those people. Brother, you should hurry and chase after Miss Ya Fei. We're leaving now."
Xiao Yan then gestured for the two behind him to leave.
As Gu Xun'er passed by Hun Changqing, Hun Changqing, a member of the Soul Clan who was extremely sensitive to killing intent, sensed the murderous aura emanating from her.
Hun Changqing frowned. Who had offended Gu Xun'er again? Why was her killing intent so strong?
When did she go and kill people, accumulating such a heavy killing intent?
Hun Changqing was still a little confused, but since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped worrying about it. Anyway, with Xiao Yan in his hands, Gu Xun'er was still at his mercy.
Hun Changqing's figure flashed, disappearing from the spot.
He didn't go looking for Ya Fei. He had sensed that Gu Xun'er had already reached the cultivation level of a Great Dou Master and would likely return to her clan soon to collect resources.
Once Gu Xun'er returned, he would obtain the resources and leave. There was no need to entangle himself with Ya Fei anymore; now that Ya Fei had run away, it saved him the trouble of breaking up with her.
Hun Changqing returned to the courtyard he had first acquired, entered the secret room, and saw Yao Chen had just finished refining pills and was meditating.
Hun Changqing stepped forward and picked up the jade bottle placed in front of Yao Chen. He opened the cap, and a cool, fragrant aroma of pills wafted out. Hun Changqing could sense the immense, chilling energy contained within the pills.
After putting the bottle away, he said to Yao Chen, "Hehe, Elder Yao, you've worked hard. With these pills, I should be able to break through in a month."
At this moment, Yao Chen finished his meditation and floated in the air, saying, "It's only right. For our grand plan, I will naturally go all out."
"Hmm, by the way, Elder Yao, do you want to wait until I advance to Dou Zun and use a Dou zun body to revive you, or wait until I become a Half-Saint and use a Half Saint body to revive you?"
Yao Chen had already explained the materials he needed for his revival to Hun Changqing. Eighth-grade elixir, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill. Eighth-tier
demonic beast essence blood. A body at the peak of the Dou Zong realm or higher —these are the minimum requirements for resurrection. However, resurrecting using these conditions will definitely result in a significant drop in strength, so the higher the grade of the materials, the better. Hun Changqing asked Yao Chen this time to find out whether Yao Chen wanted to first possess a physical body and then slowly cultivate to the level of a half-saint, or whether he would directly use a half-saint's body when the time came. After listening to Hun Changqing's words, Yao Chen remained silent for a moment, then said, "Let's just use a half-saint's body when the time comes. Although I have previous cultivation experience, and I didn't encounter any bottlenecks after being resurrected using a Dou Zun's body, I'm confident that I can achieve half-saint status within twelve years thanks to my own alchemy skills. However, there are too many variables in between. For the sake of the bigger picture, I'll wait a little longer and use a half-saint's body. I've been working towards that goal for so many years, a little longer won't make a difference." Hun Changqing nodded, finding Yao Chen's words quite reasonable. He didn't dwell on it any longer, picked up the pills, and prepared to leave. "Little Changqing." "Hmm?" Hun Changqing, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard Yao Chen call him, looking at Yao Chen with a puzzled expression. "Is there anything else?" Yao Chen suddenly floated to Hun Changqing's side, examining the hood on Hun Changqing's head, and asked curiously, "Little Changqing, why do you always wear a hood? I just remembered that I don't think I've ever seen your true face." Hun Changqing was speechless. Why was everyone curious about what he looked like? Hun Changqing planned to give Yao Chen the same perfunctory answer he gave Xiao Yan, so he said, "Too ugly, so I cover it up." "I don't believe you," Yao Chen blurted out.
Hun Changqing: ...
Feeling a little uncomfortable under Yao Chen's intense gaze, Hun Changqing had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, I just look a bit strange, and I always attract unnecessary attention when I go out, so I wear a hood."
Anyway, Yao Chen was one of his own, so there was no harm in telling him. Besides, only members of the Hun clan knew what he looked like, so he wasn't afraid of Yao Chen recognizing his identity.
Yao Chen asked curiously, "How strange?"
"Hmm... how should I put it, too..."
Hun Changqing pinched his chin and thought for a moment, feeling that "handsome" might not be a proper description.
"Too good-looking."
"Tch!"
Yao Chen looked at Hun Changqing with disdain, then sighed and said.
"Sigh, little Changqing, I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic. How come I didn't notice before?"
Hun Changqing shrugged. There was nothing he could do if the other person didn't believe him.
Yao Chen continued, "Sigh, Little Changqing, I believe your first assessment. You really are ugly. Come, take off your hood and let this old man see you. Don't be ashamed, I won't laugh at you."
Hun Changqing: ...
"Sigh, don't regret it."
Hun Changqing knew that his face was quite impactful to those seeing it for the first time. The Hun Clan members were already used to it, so they didn't pay much attention.
Hun Changqing slowly took off his hood.
For the first time in months, he exposed his face to the air.
Yao Chen had been staring intently at Hun Changqing's face when he pulled off the hood; he was genuinely just curious.
But when Hun Changqing's face was fully revealed, he was stunned. He had no idea how to describe Hun Changqing's face.
Perfection
was simply too beautiful.
Now he finally understood what Hun Changqing meant by what he had just said.
Yao Chen quickly covered his eyes with his hands and shouted,
"Hey, you scoundrel, how dare you corrupt my Dao heart! Put your hood back on right now!"
Hun Changqing put on an innocent expression and then pulled the hood back on.
After a while, Yao Chen calmed down, removed his hands from his eyes, gave Hun Changqing a deep look, and said,
"In the future, don't take off your hood unless it's absolutely necessary. Oh, and don't take it off even if something happens."
After saying that, Yao Chen floated towards the alchemy furnace.
Hun Changqing shrugged helplessly.
"I told you you'd regret it."
Then, Hun Changqing's figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
