Yu Xuan was stunned. On the way here, she had never seen such a gentle expression on Su Ming's face, nor had she seen such a gentle voice. All of this had happened too suddenly, and there was an indescribable strangeness to it, causing Yu Xuan to instinctively think of something.
Yet before she could retreat, Su Ming had already arrived beside her. He lifted his right hand in an incredibly natural manner and placed it on Yu Xuan's hair.
All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it had happened in an instant. When Yu Xuan's expression changed and she moved back, Su Ming had already plucked a strand of black hair from her head.
Su Ming flipped his right hand over, and that strand of hair that belonged to Yu Xuan immediately disappeared from his hand.
"Since you've been following me all this way, then you must know what sort of changes will happen once I control that strand of hair!" The gentleness on Su Ming's face disappeared, and the gentleness in his words turned into coldness. He returned to his previous self.
When Qian Chen saw this from behind, he shuddered. He remembered the days of misfortune he had experienced when he was in Evil Spirit Sect's mountain, and fear appeared in his gaze as he looked at Su Ming. He suddenly realized that even Su Ming was not normal. All the people around him were more evil than the last.
Just how evil must a person be to use a strand of hair to tie up a small humanoid and then Curse it? Qian Chen imagined Su Ming crouching in a corner and laughing sinisterly while he used his hair to tie up a small humanoid and Curse it. His shivers became even more intense.
The bald crane widened its eyes and stared at Yu Xuan, whose expression had changed in a rather puzzled manner. It could not quite understand what was going on, thinking that it was just a strand of hair.
Second senior brother was also momentarily stunned, but based on the change in Yu Xuan's expression, he could tell that she was definitely in an incredibly bad mood at that moment, and he could not help but smile faintly.
Even the mutt looked as if it had just seen a ghost when it saw Su Ming plucking out a strand of Yu Xuan's hair. It quickly moved back a little. It had seen Su Ming use this method to cast the Curse multiple times while they were following him. It might not know the origins of this Art, but the terror of it was still fresh in its mind.
After all, Su Ming had disappeared after the battle against Di Tian in the Dead Sea. When Yu Xuan found him again, he was already in Evil Spirit Sect, and no one else knew about what had happened to Ugly Little Thing's family.
Yu Xuan glared at Su Ming. She had always been intelligent, and she was the only one who could take advantage of others in her life. She was rarely taken advantage of. Even when she was with Su Ming's second senior brother, they were just using each other.
She could naturally tell that Su Ming's second senior brother should have noticed something off about her or the mutt, but she also used this chance to follow them openly. In fact, in her eyes, all of this was just for fun, and she did not put too much thought into it.
Her previous action of exchanging questions for elixirs seemed like a joke, but in reality, it was also her intention. Second Senior Brother's injuries seemed fine on the surface, but in reality, they had already damaged his foundation. If he didn't treat his injuries as soon as possible, it would have a huge impact.
Yet Su Ming's second senior brother did not say anything about it, and Little Dummy Su was truly an idiot. He actually did not manage to see through it. Besides, second senior brother had circulated his cultivation base in an attempt to make the statue wake up. All of these were the reasons why his injuries had become even worse.
That was why she had used this chance to tease Su Ming and even helped second senior brother treat his injuries. In her eyes, she had helped Su Ming, and she had been incredibly happy on the way. After all, she could tell that Su Ming's second senior brother did not harbor any ill will towards her. This sort of scheme would naturally depend on their own abilities.
As for Su Ming, Yu Xuan only felt that he had pretty good potential, and the main point was that he could be sold for a good price with his status as an Abyss Builder. She did not pay much attention to his schemes, and the marriage was just a joke.
Yet at that moment, as she glared at Su Ming, she became serious. The reason for her seriousness was because she had suffered such a huge loss because of him.
This was something she had not expected. If she had been schemed against by Su Ming's second senior brother, she would not have felt too wronged. After all, Su Ming's second senior brother did things in a manner that did not follow common sense, and it was difficult for others to find any traces of his schemes.
But … but Yu Xuan was incredibly angry that she had been schemed against by Su Ming.
She glared at Su Ming, and he looked back at her flatly. Their gazes met in midair, and sparks seemed to appear in their eyes. However, those sparks were not the birth of any sort of emotion … but a clash of fists.
After some time, Yu Xuan let out a harrumph and turned her head around, no longer bothering herself with Su Ming. Instead, she sat down on the mutt, and in the midst of its grievance and resignation, she continued tugging at the fur on the mutt's head. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and no one knew just how many thoughts to punish Su Ming had appeared in her head.
Su Ming's expression was indifferent. He did not care how many schemes she could come up with. At the very least, he had obtained the peace that he had not felt for a long time. The voices that made him feel like he was about to break down were no longer echoing in the air. In the midst of this peace, the group turned into several long arcs and charged towards the island where Zi Yan was in the distance.
A silence that was rarely seen on the way filled the group. Second senior brother still had a gentle smile on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking. The mutt's expression became even more aggrieved, and it looked like it was in pain, because the girl had a stern face and was continuously fighting against the fur on its head.
The bald crane blinked and immediately stopped panting. It had a feeling that a storm was about to arrive and knew that it would be best if it did not show its head at that moment, or else it would be easy for it to be dragged into the mess.
Qian Chen was the same. He lowered his head and acted as the bald crane's steed, afraid that he would be dragged into this.
The group was originally not too far away from the islands in the outer regions of South Morning. As they charged forward in silence, before long, an island appeared before their eyes.
That island looked desolate, and there was nothing strange about it. However, when Su Ming closed in on it and lifted his right hand to form a seal, he pushed it through the air towards the island. The island remained silent for the span of ten breaths before a faint blue screen of light rose above it. That screen of light was a faint blue in the beginning, but it instantly turned dark blue. A long tunnel appeared on the screen of light.
Fang Cang Lan, who was dressed in white and looked rather delicate, walked out with light steps. She did not look at the others, but at Su Ming. She kept looking at him, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
An ethereal air spread out from Fang Cang Lan's body, and it set off the dark blue screen of light around her, causing her to look even more dreamlike and beautiful than before.
There were a dozen something people behind her. All of them were people who had been on this island in the past. They knew Su Ming, and at that moment, they wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed towards him with respectful expressions.
Among them was Zi Yan, and also … Ya Mu. At the instant Zi Yan, who was dressed as a married woman, was about to bow to him as well when she suddenly started trembling viciously. She stared blankly at the gentle man beside Su Ming, who had a slightly pale face but a familiar smile on his lips.
At the instant Zi Yan saw that man, all the people in her world disappeared, and only the man who was as gentle as a flower with sunlight shining on the side of his face was left.
It was a scene from her memories, a memory that was buried deep in her mind. It was a man who had blocked her way on the ninth summit and introduced himself to her in a gentle manner. He kept the side of his face exposed to the sun, and he thought that her actions were very cool and at ease.
That was … a beautiful memory in the past. Perhaps it could not be considered as a beautiful memory and could only be considered as a bud, but it … had existed in the past.
Ya Mu fell silent. He could tell that Zi Yan was acting strangely, and he could tell that the person who caused her to act so strangely was the man standing beside Su Ming. In silence, anguish rose in Ya Mu's heart. He gradually lowered his head and took a few steps back, moving back from standing side by side with Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan, as long as you can be happy, I can give you everything. I know you don't like me, I know …" Ya Mu lowered his head and chose to give up.
Zong Ze, who was clearly old and exuding a thick, withered presence, was also in the crowd. He looked like a normal old man, and with a pretty woman supporting him, he was looking at Su Ming with a smile.
Su Ming knew the woman supporting him. She was … the Sacred Lady of Autumn Sea Tribe, Wan Qiu.
It was clear that this woman had only come to Southern Swamp Island after Su Ming had left all those years ago to reunite with Zong Ze.
Within the dark blue screen of light, Southern Swamp Island was a prosperous place. There were trees everywhere, a rather large city built there, and there were towers and buildings on the mountain ranges around it. All of these turned Southern Swamp Island into a paradise beyond the world.
The fragrance of grass and flowers filled the area within the screen of light, causing all those who smelled it to feel their hearts seep into their hearts. Su Ming stood on a cliff and looked into the distance from there. He could see the blue sky and the white clouds. They were all real.
The sky above South Morning was originally filled with thick layers of clouds, but the battle between Su Ming and Di Tian in the land where the Immortals descended had stirred up the power of the world, causing the sky of South Morning to return to its previous color.
The seawater crashed against the reefs underneath, stirring up waves and black bubbles. Fang Cang Lan stood beside Su Ming. That woman was even calmer than before, and there was a graceful air about her gentle face.
She stood beside Su Ming and helped him smooth out the creases on his robes. Her expression was elegant, and her tranquility made others feel her gentleness.
Wan Qiu stood in the distance and watched this scene without saying a single word.
There were also two people standing on another mountain not too far away. They were … Su Ming's second senior brother and Zi Yan.
Yu Xuan was also glaring at Su Ming angrily from another mountain, but most of her gaze was on Fang Cang Lan.
The mutt lay by the side and looked at Yu Xuan, then at Su Ming, who was standing in the distance. Then, its gaze fell on Fang Cang Lan, who was standing beside Su Ming, and it suddenly shuddered. It felt a chill spreading out from Yu Xuan, and when it looked at her through the corner of its eyes, it could clearly see that there was a similar expression in Yu Xuan's eyes when its Abyss Dragon Concubines were sizing up each other.
