Chapter 1354 700: The Next Move
...
"Yan Xiaobao is no fool; this is a good thing!" he thought. "Let's see what she'll do next!" He remained on guard, waiting for Song Junwan to take her next step.
Song Junwan's heart was spinning, obviously trembling. Yan Xiaobao's words pierced her heart like the sharpest blades. Now she stood there watching his back, he seemed taller than ever, as if he could support the heavens and earth on his shoulders.
She didn't even know what to say. Nightcrypt had completely shaken her core. It felt like a mountain had fallen on her, breaking all the barriers in her heart, leaving her soul completely exposed.
She could only stand there quietly, trying to calm the chaos inside her. Her original intention was to call Nightcrypt, trying to find a reason to punish him. If she could imprison him in the Blood Prison, then she could definitely stop any gossip from spreading. Moreover, Xuemei couldn't possibly kill him, which meant she would win the competition between the two of them.
Who would have thought that the seemingly lecherous Nightcrypt would collapse because of her clothes and behavior? When he asked her to bring back the real Song Junwan, his last words particularly moved her. It made her stir completely, and as she suddenly looked at him, something different appeared in her eyes.
Song Junwan took a deep breath. The wanton expression she usually wore faded away. She waved her hand, and a more conservative dress flew over, landing on her. She adjusted her hair, straightening it a bit, and suddenly she looked completely different. She did not appear seductive, but genuinely solemn and beautiful.
At first, she wasn't very tall, but wearing this attire, she seemed completely different from before. From inside and out, she exuded a natural grace and charm, making her look dazzling.
Her skin was fair and delicate, without all the makeup, she looked like clouds reflected on snow. Now, her hair was rolled into a beautiful bun, and when she looked at Bai Xiaochun, her eyes sparkled like deep, pure water pools.
Her teeth were smooth and white, her lips full and rosy. Anyone looking at her would think they saw personified beauty.
"You can turn around now," she said softly.
Bai Xiaochun remained vigilant, slowly turning around, ensuring to keep a disappointed expression on his face. At the same time, when he gazed at Song Junwan, his steel will was visible.
Almost immediately, he was shaken to the core. He had seen beautiful women before, like Hou Xiaomei, Zhou Xinqi, or the missing Du Lingfei. They were all beautiful. However, Song Junwan had a kind of grace and elegance that was almost unmatched by any woman.
Her previously flirtatious expression turned very solemn, and this change completely took Bai Xiaochun by surprise.
It was a pure, clean beauty, like a hibiscus flower glittering with morning dew. Completely astonishing.
Despite feeling completely at a loss and anxious, Yan Xiaobao's vigilance did not weaken in the slightest. Instead, it became stronger. "This Song Junwan, she is... she is the ultimate shrew!"
Seeing Bai Xiaochun's reaction, Song Junwan covered a smile with her hand. This time there was no coquettishness. It was actually very charming, and her gaze made Yan Xiaobao's heart leap.
"What is she doing now!?!" he thought nervously as his heart pounded in his chest. For some reason, her latest strategy seemed more powerful than her opening move. Presumably, she would counterattack at any moment. Was she going to kill?
She smiled charmingly, and before he could respond, she continued in a serious voice: "Good, I present you with the true Song Junwan from the bottom of my heart. Are you happy now?"
"The reason I'm here to ask you is to tell you something. Go back and pack your things. Tomorrow we will meet at the Zhongshan Peak base at dawn. When I go to visit Spirit Creek Sect with one of my Song Family Patriarchs, you will join me!"
"That Song Family Patriarch is also one of the eight patriarchs of the Blood Flow Sect!"
Yan Xiaobao's eyes widened, and his heart trembled when he heard her mention the Spirit Creek Sect.
"A diplomatic mission to the 'Spirit Creek Sect'?" Bai Xiaochun was stunned. To say the least, going from Nightstream to become part of the Spirit Stream Sect was a strange thought.
Song Junwan looked at him and smiled. "What's wrong? You don't want to go? I didn't originally plan to take you. But, if I leave you behind, that slut Xuemei might cause trouble. Since I can't stay to protect you, I'd rather take you with me."
"You must be very careful when you see that prostitute. She is ruthless and has reached the ninth tidal surge. Her father is an infinite patriarch, and she herself is a potential future patriarch of the sect. She won't hesitate to do anything to achieve her goals."
"She and I have never gotten along. That slut thinks she can rely on her position to steal from me what is rightfully mine as the Middle Peak bloodline. But, as soon as Song Junwan mentioned Xuemei, her eyes sparkled with cold light. However, worried that such an expression didn't fit Bai Xiaochun's image, she suddenly felt the need to further explain."
"For generations, there have always been four Bloodline Masters handed down. So far, the bloodlines of the other three peaks have been chosen. Only the Middle Peak has not. The position of Bloodline Master is high, similar to that of elders. Once reaching Core Formation, Bloodline Masters become Blood Splitters, second only to the patriarch. Of course, to become a Ripper, you must first become a Blood Master!"
