Chapter 1397: Your Life Experience

Buttface's face beamed with admiration as he looked at Xu Que in esteem.

His mind began to wander. "Uttering words of love out of the blue is incomparable and would amaze anyone. In addition, every word would give people goosebumps."

This was why Buttface was won over by this. Xu Que's gall was huge since he dared to direct such words to Xuanyuan Wanrong. In any case, Buttface didn't dare to do so.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, however, still wore a playful look as she gazed calmly at Xu Que. She wasn't affected by his cheesy words of love.

She squinted her eyes and put on a fake smile as she said, "If you want your heart to burn due to me or if you want me to fill your heart, I can do it and fulfill your wish."

Xu Que promptly waved his hand at her and said, "No, please no... I was just joking, just joking. How can you take this seriously?"

He was sure that Xuanyuan Wanrong would do everything she said she would. She was insensitive and couldn't understand the implication of these words of love. She understood only their literal meaning and was really emotional.

If Xu Que didn't explain that it was just a joke, Xuanyuan Wanrong might have really taken out his heart in the next moment and burned it, perhaps even penetrating it.

After all, even if the heart of someone at Xu Que's level was harmed, he still would be safe and sound and able to recover completely, but intense pain was unavoidable, and he didn't want to suffer Xuanyuan Wanrong's torment for no reason.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was disinclined to argue with Xu Que over those words, and she swept the underground with her pretty eyes.

She had laid in the sparkling palace's ice coffin for several tens of thousands of years and, as she observed it now, she had peculiar feelings about it.

At this moment, though, something black was laying in her ice coffin. Its skin had thorns, and it seemed dirty, dried, and ugly.

"You have unexpectedly brought out this thing, haven't you?" Xuanyuan Wanrong was surprised by this and she looked at Xu Que and Buttface.

Xu Que chuckled. "It turns out that you also know of its existence, so it seems like you have seized his domain deliberately."

Xuanyuan Wanrong replied with a calm look on her face, "This land becomes a part of the continent, so it's also part of our Human Clan's domain. It isn't related to the Sea Tribe, so how can you say that I seized it?"

Xu Que was at a loss for words. She used the same logic as bandits, and he really couldn't retort back.

Xuanyuan Wanrong continued. "But you have really surpassed my expectations. You have unexpectedly gotten the Void Restriction Spell, as well as managed to shift my location with this Sea Tribe member. You have allowed me to go out in advance without breaking the seal." Her tone was calmer than before, and it was obvious that she was quite satisfied with the performance of Xu Que and Buttface.

"Fairy Xuanyuan, we don't deserve praise. It's an honor for me to serve you." Buttface praised her with a humble look plastered on his face.

He had only managed to recall this Void Restriction Spell because he recovered a part of his sixth life's memory within the Celestial Burial Valley.

However, he had only superficial knowledge about it, and the real Void Restriction Spell was much stronger than this. He had only managed to learn some superficial knowledge about it by chance in his sixth life.

With a disdainful look, Xu Que said, "Buttface, can you fawn over her even more? Don't you have any self-respect?"

Buttface was about to retort back but, when he discerned that Xuanyuan Wanrong's gaze fell again upon Xu Que, an odd expression appeared on his face and he started sizing up Xu Que.

Xu Que warily moved back several steps. "What are you looking at? I don't allow people to look casually at my handsome face."

"You have a certain strange aura that seems related to me. I had assumed previously that it was just a false feeling, but I still can't get rid of it even now," Xuanyuan Wanrong replied bluntly.

Xu Que came up with some crazy nonsense. "Huh? This is... quite normal. You probably don't know it, but it's related to my face. I'm so handsome that women find me quite attractive."

He obviously knew why Xuanyuan Wanrong had this feeling—It was because of the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels. Those were the souls of her parents.

But Xu Que still didn't dare to inform her of the truth.

No one knew whether or not she was aware of what her parents suffered, and no one knew whether or not he would suffer if she learned that he used her parents' souls as a bodyguard.

This was why Xu Que chose to hide this for now, and after they left the Celestial Burial Valley, he would give back the two souls to Xuanyuan Wanrong and turn around to escape. At that moment, those matters weren't related to him any longer.

"I have said that it's a strange aura, and it isn't related to your face." Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head while still looking at Xu Que.

If Xu Que wasn't nominally her Cultivation Partner, she would have already taken him down to observe him carefully.

Buttface acted as if he was observing the sky's changes before yelling at Xu Que, "Ah! Brother Que, there are only a few hours left until daybreak. We must seize the moment and go back to make preparations."

He wasn't helping Xu Que out of the goodness of his heart; he was afraid that he would be beaten after this affair was exposed. After all, it was he who had instigated Xu Que to bring the two souls with them and show off everywhere. This was why he was an accomplice.

"Ah, I have forgotten our proper business. We must quickly set off."

Xu Que promptly responded to Buttface's words and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong, saying, "What is so strong about a strange aura? You've written my name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and it's obvious that our destinies are connected. Some strange matters will obviously occur."

After he spoke, he beckoned Buttface. This human and dog coordinated well, and they flew into the air and rushed toward the former mountain range.

Xuanyuan Wanrong stood in the same place and looked in confusion at Xu Que's backside. She muttered in a soft voice, "His body has a faint Bloodline Aura... Is he a descendant of my Xuanyuan Clan?"

After Xuanyuan Wanrong spoke, her body shivered. "I have written his name in the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and we have become Cultivation Partners, so if he's my clan's descendant, won't I have..."

The realization was troublesome, and Xuanyuan Wanrong's expression turned grave and flustered.

By now, Xu Que and Buttface had already made it back to the former mountain range, and they looked at each other with fright apparent on their faces.

"F*ck! Lad, did she discover it already?" Buttface was frightened, and he looked repeatedly behind him to see if Xuanyuan Wanrong was chasing after them.

"You can set your mind at ease. I have a good understanding of her, and I'm confident she doesn't know. We wouldn't have managed to get back here so easily if she had figured it out," Xu Que said calmly with a smile.

If someone with Xuanyuan Wanrong's character discovered that he had her parents' souls, she would have attacked and taken them by force.

Buttface heaved a sigh of relief and then urged Xu Que by saying, "Fine. Then let's stop waiting and get inside so she won't discover any peculiarities once she comes back in a bit."

"That's reasonable!" Xu Que nodded in agreement with Buttface.

He hoped that another incident wouldn't occur before he managed to seize the imminent fortune, but just as he was about to enter the palace, a strong wind blew in from behind.

With a swoosh, a silhouette appeared in front of him. It was Xuanyuan Wanrong.

She looked at Xu Que attentively with a grave look and spoke in a deep voice. "I must discuss a certain matter with you related to your past history."
