Chapter 363 - 363 A Kiss

363 A Kiss

The fact that Lin Xuan had killed the Ghost King with a single strike truly shocked the two earth-rank fighters. They were well-versed in this field, so they naturally knew how powerful this strike was. They did not know the secret behind it, but it was enough to know that this strike could kill an earth-rank Ghost King.

The two earth-rank powerhouses were shocked, but those ordinary people were not. When they saw such a huge ghostly shadow being easily destroyed by a blade, many of them thought that they were just filming, or perhaps they thought that they were just scaring them.

They started to cause a scene again.

Lin Xuan himself did not feel anything. Even though this matter started because of him, these ordinary people were not injured, and there were not too many of them that fainted, right?

Julia, who was standing next to him, was a little angry. In Bavaria, ability users had all kinds of privileges. They were superior to others, and no ordinary person dared to question or disturb them.

So, Julia had never experienced this treatment before.

Unconsciously, Julia also began to reflect on herself. Was what Taixia preached really suitable for Bavaria?

Lin Xuan’s killing of the Ghost King shocked not only the two earth-rank powerhouses of the Western Capital but also the many Ghost Kings peeking in the fog. They were earth-rank and extremely strange Yin Spirit earth-ranks that watched too, so they naturally did not attract the attention of the two earth-rank powerhouses by hiding at the edge of the fog. Lin Xuan had sensed it, but they had not walked out of the fog, so there was no reason for him to attack.

In that instant, the Bright Phoenix turned her gaze towards Mount Tai. A pair of terrifying eyes appeared in the sky, cold and angry. She glanced at the many Ghost Kings hiding at the edge of the fog. Immediately, the Ghost Kings scattered in all directions, no longer having any other thoughts of watching the situation unfold.

As for the locals of the Western Capital, they didn’t make a sound after seeing the red-golden eyes in the sky. The Bright Phoenix had been in the Western Capital for 300 years, and their ancestors were protected by the Bright Phoenix. How could they dare to be impudent? Moreover, the people of the Western Capital respected her as if they were acknowledging a God.

However, not all of these commoners were locals of the Western Capital. Because of the successful development of Flying Thunder Gate, it became simpler for people from other regions to travel across Taixia Country. Additionally, there was no land in other regions that could enable commoners to become ability users like Mount Tai.

Therefore, even though the Flying Thunder Gate’s travel tickets were expensive, the rich people still bought tickets to travel there. What if they encountered the legendary flame of Mount Tai?

When they saw the eyes in the sky, they still thought that the ability users were still trying to scare them. As ordinary people in the upper class, they were not afraid of this!

Hence, they became even fiercer.

After a long while, the Bright Phoenix retracted her gaze. Her attention was not on these ordinary people, but on the Ghost King that had walked out of the Yin Spirit Realm. This had become a big matter. She had thought that with her 300 years of power in the Western Capital, she had suppressed this group of Ghost Kings, but from the looks of it, that was not the case!

“It’s very disadvantageous for me and Taixia Country for this to happen. Perhaps, we have to carry out a great purge!”

On the ocean, waves suddenly rose, and gusts of strong wind brought stormy dark clouds. The seawater was rolled up by the wind, layer after layer of big waves. This was all because of the changes in the world that she triggered with her mind.

Lin Xuan followed the two earth-ranks back to the relevant department in the Western Capital for questioning. Well, it was just a routine question to leave a factual basis. This matter was now slowly brewing. It would probably cause another war of words at the elders’ council. As for the outcome, it had nothing to do with Lin Xuan.

Given his and Julia’s status and potential, it was impossible for Taixia Country to sacrifice them. Therefore, he continued his cultivation plan but tried to avoid being seen by ordinary people.

“That should be enough, right?”

When the questions were over, Lin Xuan stretched his back. It was finally over. He started talking from when he came to the Western Capital with Julia, to when they climbed Mount Tai at night, where he had some enlightenment and had a breakthrough in his energy, and finally, when he attacked the powerful Ghost King. As for what happened when he was comprehending the Dao, he did not say because he did not know either.

Julia also came out at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled. After the ridiculous accident, the relationship between the two seemed to have improved.

More than friends but less than lovers!

The main thing was that Lin Xuan was not in the mood to fall in love. He was in the critical period of breaking through to earth-rank, and he could not delay the process of his breakthrough because of love.

“Are you going to the Thunder Valley next?”

Julia stared at Lin Xuan with her big, bright eyes.

“Yes, if I want to further improve my body, blood, and bloodline, using the lightning in the Thunder Valley to temper my body will be the fastest and easiest way to reach it.”

Lin Xuan nodded. Using lightning to train the body had been an ancient technique since long ago. After 300 years of scientific research, there was already a series of scientific evidence that proved it worked. As long as the protective measures were in place, there would be no danger at all.

Julia bit her lower lip, and her face showed hesitation and struggle. In the end, she let out a breath, “I won’t go in with you. I wanted to wait for you outside the Thunder Valley, but I can’t fall behind. I must keep up with your pace of cultivation. While you are in the Thunder Valley, I am going to the southern border to practice.”

“The southern border?”

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. To be honest, this girl’s background was really terrifying. It was fine that she was on good terms with the Bright Phoenix. However, in Taixia Country, her biggest backer was definitely that human butcher on the southern border, which could be said to be her maiden home in Taixia Country!

“That’s good. You’re also Heaven’s favorite in the world. There’s no need for you to waste your time on me-”

Before Lin Xuan could wait for a response, Julia had already stood on her tiptoes and kissed him directly on the lips, stopping him from saying anything else. Lin Xuan only felt a softness cover him for a long time before their lips parted.

“I… I’ll be waiting for you at the southern border.”

After that, Julia ran away shyly, leaving only her to reminisce about her first kiss.

Did she just…

Lin Xuan didn’t know what to say when he saw her leave. He was a little scared, a little lost, a little sweet, and a little reluctant, but in the end, he sighed. Now is not the time to think of such things.

He looked in the direction where Julia disappeared, Lin Xuan took one last look and turned to leave resolutely. He had rested enough, and it was time to start the lightning body refinement.

On this day, Lin Xuan and Julia parted ways. He did not know when they would meet again!
