This Is My Planet - Chapter 113 - Chapter 113 – Not Even as Good as Fat Tiger
Yan Wuyue’s hand froze mid-air as she reached out to hug him.
Her bewildered eyes regained clarity, realizing the situation…
After all, she was somewhat semi-conscious just now, not completely dazed. She was just particularly restless, like a mother cat in spring, direct and forthright with her enthusiasm, even blurting out many thoughts that had been pent up…
Of course, especially thinking about that.
Even now, she still wanted it very much. At least now that her consciousness was clear, she could control it.
Yan Wuyue blinked her eyes, then… she still followed through with the motion and hugged him.
Xia Guixuan: “???”
“What’s there to be tangled about? What’s wrong with giving you a hug? I’m a soldier, not some shy little bride!” Yan Wuyue naturally transitioned from hugging to slinging her arm around his shoulder, looking like a pair of good buddies. “Indeed, you’re really cunning, Sindy from the Fox Clan. You can solve problems with just your fingers.”
Xia Guixuan still felt like her words were driving a car.
No, why are you slinging your arm around me? Don’t you know that in this position, I’m pressed against you, and it’s quite noticeable?
“I’ve figured it out. There’s no need to be cautious around you at all. You’re just a toothless tiger, probably less threatening than the fat tiger on your mountain…”
“The fat tiger is a tigress… wait, are you sure I’m not a threat?” Xia Guixuan’s face stiffened, he glanced at her sideways. “Your change is so abrupt, I suggest you practice your acting skills with Ling Moxue.”
“Abrupt?” Yan Wuyue finally let go of him, took a couple of steps to the side, and stretched lazily without reservation. “I feel much better now. I’ve scolded you, taken advantage of you, and now there’s nothing left to do.”
Xia Guixuan: “…”
“What?” Yan Wuyue smiled ambiguously as she looked him up and down. “Is it rare for a good-looking guy like you to be taken advantage of by a woman?”
Xia Guixuan thought for a while, indeed, it was quite rare. During his mortal days, any woman who saw him was cautious, and during his cultivation journey, there were demonic and seductive women who wanted to get close, but with malicious intent, wanting to take advantage, so they were cut down by him. During his reign as an immortal emperor, others became cautious again. The only one who frequently ‘took advantage’, was his sister…
This time, coming out of seclusion was the same. Who wasn’t cautious? Who dared to actively take advantage of him?
There was, the little fox… affectionate without any ulterior motive, this old man was caught off guard and didn’t dodge…
The biggest discomfort in this society seemed to be this… in the past, when a girl approached you, taking advantage of you, it was mostly something done by demonesses, but it seems like it’s not the case nowadays…
Yan Wuyue’s face suddenly approached again, almost touching his.
Xia Guixuan took a half step back, quickly assuming a defensive posture.
Yan Wuyue laughed, “Look at you, you’re like a little virgin… Was it only Yin Xiaoru who took advantage of you?”
Xia Guixuan said sternly, “Is that why you became friends with her?”
“Heh…” Yan Wuyue draped her arm over his shoulder and squinted at him, looking up and down his cheek, as if she wanted to kiss him. “If it weren’t for not wanting to steal a friend’s man, I’d be hitting on you. A powerful, handsome man with a mysterious past? Very attractive.”
“I think you’re still not awake? In heat?”
“Of course, being mentally clear doesn’t mean those instincts disappear. They still linger within me, filling my body, and saturating my soul… You asked me to continue comprehending, didn’t you?”
“Do you call this behavior comprehension?”
Yan Wuyue casually said, “I call this taking advantage. You also said that I’ve become more relaxed since leaving the capital, right? Well, it’s true, but I’m still not completely relaxed around you. Today, I finally broke that last taboo.”
Xia Guixuan was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled, “You’re quite clever.”
Yan Wuyue also suddenly smiled, “I don’t even know what I was afraid of before? Just because you’re particularly powerful? When facing Hun Yuan and the others, I’m still not their match, but at least I’ve never been afraid.”
That’s probably because of the bloodline of the divine descendants. You haven’t reached the point of tearing apart the heavens yet, and even if you did, Shang Zhaoye and Hun Yuan would still be as wary of me. Of course, Xia Guixuan didn’t say that. He just said, “That’s good. It’s awkward to see you being so cautious. Actually, you don’t need to be so cautious in front of Gongsun Jiu.”
“It’s different. There are rules up and down there. If I were as casual with him as I am with you, the team would be in chaos… Besides, I’ve really lost my temper with him before, but I dare not do that with you.” Yan Wuyue sighed, “Maybe I’m not afraid of you, it’s just that repaying kindness is the hardest, and I know I owe you my life. I feel guilty and inadequate in repaying those favors.”
That’s a valid thought. Xia Guixuan chuckled, “So you’re not considering that debt of saving your life anymore?”
Yan Wuyue sneered, “You’re colluding with felons, that makes us even.”
“Eh…”
Suddenly, Yan Wuyue pecked him on the cheek. “Even if it’s not enough, it’s enough now.”
No wonder she can be friends with the little fox, Xia Guixuan said irritably, “That’s you taking advantage, not repaying anything.”
“What?” Yan Wuyue smiled slyly. “You can kiss me too, can’t you? Do you dare?”
As she puffed out her chest, “And more than just kissing, do you dare?”
The waves surged, making him dizzy.
“…” Xia Guixuan remained expressionless, ultimately not moving.
“Tsk… If you’re not as threatening as a fat tiger, you should at least admit it,” Yan Wuyue let go of him with boredom, turned around, and walked away. “I’m leaving.”
Although it seemed carefree, her heart was drumming. Her eyes kept trying to glance back, wondering if Xia Guixuan would really hug her… If he did, should she refuse according to the scenario just now? According to this “bold female soldier” setting, she should be the one to push him away.
How did it come to this… Does it count as snatching a man from my friend? Will I still have to face people when I go back…
Fortunately, Xia Guixuan didn’t come over in the end, just shook his head unhappily.
You women are really courting death… Little virgin?
Doesn’t the aura of this place affect you? Do you really think it has no effect on me?
The words of Hun Yuan crossed his mind for who knows how many times: The deepest desires are hidden by the Heavenly Dao.
The atmosphere awkwardly quieted down, and Yan Wuyue circled the altar half a circle before finally remembering the main issue. “Oh right… Is this just a plain and an altar, with nothing else?”
Xia Guixuan said with a straight face, “Are you finally thinking about the main issue now, General?”
Yan Wuyue, who didn’t blush when kissing him, now looked a bit embarrassed, and forced herself, “Is it strange that I was attracted by the aura of this place? You, as someone so capable, should think more about the main issue…”
“First of all, finding nothing is the biggest discovery.” Xia Guixuan pointed to the empty surroundings and curled his lips, “This is an important altar, and there must have been guards here day and night, maybe even tribes living nearby. A catastrophe wiped out the tribe, yet there isn’t even a corpse here, that’s the problem.”
Yan Wuyue asked, “Did General Zhang’s people take them away?”
“Even if it wasn’t them, someone else took them away earlier. This kind of aphrodisiac aura isn’t unsolvable, it’s not even difficult to move some things.” Xia Guixuan sneered, “Researching human modification may not necessarily require capturing living divine descendants. These ancient corpses seem to be just as useful, if not better.”
Yan Wuyue’s expression changed slightly.
“Secondly…” Xia Guixuan pointed to the bottom of the altar. “There’s a passage down there, leading to some dangerous places that haven’t been explored by anyone. I reckon they didn’t have the ability.”
Xia Guixuan saw through the structure of the altar at a glance, and pressed a hand on a railing at a stone step. Soon, a secret room opened up below the altar.
The secret room was also empty, indicating that it was probably a storage room for ritual objects used in sacrifices. For a tribe engaged in cultivation, these would have been considered artifacts, but they had already been swept clean.
But in one corner of the secret room, there was a faint crack, glowing with a fiery red light, with the flow of magma inside. The most miraculous thing was that in the center of the flowing magma, there seemed to be shimmering water waves.
This was probably a phase node born from the chaos in space, leading to a special location under the sea, where water and fire blended together, the core of yin and yang.
Xia Guixuan knew exactly where it led to.
It was the place where he had once laid down the formation stones…
Where he chose to set up the stones would naturally be a place on this planet that was already distinctively special, and there were several such places in the world. These locations had their own uniqueness, influenced by the stones and spiritual energy, forming extremely unique geographical environments. Around these geographical areas, it was bound to be where the most ancient divine descendants were born.
Generally speaking, such places could be called primal lands, the origins of creation, or the remnants of the Divine Creator.
Now buried in the depths of the sea, no one knew how deep, even modern divine descendants were searching for them, let alone humans who couldn’t understand what these were.
This extinct tribe must have been related to water or fire, hence the strong attraction, with the phase space directly reaching this place.
Xia Guixuan’s gaze fell on the crack, while Yan Wuyue’s gaze fell on the surroundings of the secret room.
There were engravings on the walls of the secret room, depicting… phoenixes, vermilion birds, bixi, and so on, carvings of all the related fire-winged creatures, spread across the walls, soaring with their wings spread.
Yan Wuyue looked somewhat shocked. There seemed to be a resonance deep in her bloodline, reaching her soul. “Could this be where my ancestral tribe is?”
“Most likely. Originally, there would have been more specific treasures standing on top of the altar, but they should have been taken away… I suggest that when you return to human society, you focus on investigating the whereabouts of these treasures. This object might just become your ultimate treasure.”
“Mm.” Yan Wuyue looked somewhat serious. She hadn’t expected that accompanying Xia Guixuan to find what he wanted would unexpectedly become a matter of her own bloodline.
She wondered if Xia Guixuan’s specification of “borrowing Yan Wuyue for a while” was a premonition or perhaps fate.
Xia Guixuan said, “As for the location this crack leads to, although it would be useful if you went down, it’s too dangerous. I suggest you don’t go down and stay outside to comprehend your cultivation… It would be safer to come back after the Qian Yuan stage.”
“Like this ‘danger’ above? Almost losing your virginity?”
“…It’s a risk of death, losing your body altogether. Would you consider that losing your virginity?”
“Then…” Yan Wuyue hesitated for a moment. “How can it be useful for me?”
“The summons of the ancestors, the creation of the primal land, the awakening of your own talents. For a mixed-blood like you, this process may reject your human bloodline, burning it to ashes. It’s extremely dangerous, but also an opportunity and a choice. I can help you with external dangers, but I won’t help you with your internal risks. You need to think it over.”
Yan Wuyue sighed and smiled confidently, “Of course I’ll go. There’s no one who doesn’t want to know where their bloodline comes from. If I wasn’t aware, then so be it, but now that I am, what’s there to fear about a little danger?”
