Chapter 278: The Lost Land
Hua Xiangyue was secretly happy when she saw Shen Xiang's heartbroken look.
"Take it. I wish you success. However, based on my experience, the Hundred Beasts Pill cannot be successful without failing one or two hundred times." Hua Xiangyue also handed the four main medicinal ingredients of the Hundred Beasts Pill to Shen Xiang.
Chen Xiang took it and said with a smile: "These fifty portions are enough for me to succeed. I am a genius in alchemy! I didn't expect that you would carry so many spiritual medicines with you."
"Of course, I'm the manager of Danxiang Taoyuan." Hua Xiangyue expressed her doubts about Shen Xiang's words. She had never heard of anyone succeeding in fifty attempts.
Chen Xiang pretended to be surprised and said: "So Sister Hua, you are a wealthy woman?"
"Hehe, do you regret not taking me in as a maid?" Hua Xiangyue teased, stretching out her jade hand and gently stroking Shen Xiang's cheek. Her charming eyes that could drip water gazed at Shen Xiang affectionately, flashing with a blurred and enchanting brilliance, making Shen Xiang swallow his saliva violently.
"Of course I regret it. If you were my maid, I would let you sleep with me and take a bath with me every day." Shen Xiang gently pinched Hua Xiangyue's delicate jade hand and said with a wicked smile.
Hua Xiangyue's hand was gently rubbed by Shen Xiang, which made her feel a little shy, and a faint blush appeared on her face. She wanted to take her hand back, but Shen Xiang held it. She didn't expect Shen Xiang to be so bold and dare to be so frivolous to her.
After Shen Xiang felt the beauty of the jade hand, he let it go, which made Hua Xiang Yue Jiao spit: "I have a room for you here, you can stay here to make pills, this is the safest place in Piao Xiang City."
Chen Xiang shook his head and smiled: "No need, I have a place, I think it is much safer than here."
"Are you talking about the Shenbing Famous Shop?" Hua Xiangyue didn't know why, but Liu Meng'er's figure immediately appeared in her mind, and her voice became sour.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right!" Shen Xiang laughed, turned around and was about to leave.
"What is your relationship with Liu Meng'er?" Hua Xiangyue asked in a tender voice, grabbing Shen Xiang and not letting him leave.
"What's my relationship with her? What does it have to do with you?" Shen Xiang pouted, which made Hua Xiangyue purse her lips and stomp her feet.
"You little brat, don't you really know how other people feel?" Hua Xiangyue pinched his big hand.
Shen Xiang sat down, and said in a complaining tone: "Sister Xiangyue, you just took two thousand True Yuan Pills from me, of course I understand your intentions."
"Hmph, kid, tell me honestly, what is the relationship between you and Liu Meng'er?" Hua Xiangyue asked seriously.
Shen Xiang couldn't understand why these women were so sensitive. Before, it was Liu Meng'er who asked about his relationship with Hua Xiangyue, and now it was Hua Xiangyue who asked about his relationship with Liu Meng'er.
"My wife is her apprentice. She is good to her apprentice and her apprentice's husband. That's the kind of relationship she has. She is very kind to me, just like a sister." Shen Xiang said. He promised Liu Meng'er not to tell anyone about their relationship.
"I don't believe it. There must be something fishy going on between you two. Although it seems absurd, I trust my intuition." The last time Hua Xiangyue was outside the Southern Wilderness, she noticed that Liu Meng'er looked at Shen Xiang differently, and the two of them exchanged glances from time to time. Although it was not obvious, she still saw it.
Hua Xiangyue was jealous at this moment. Even if Chen Xiang was blind, he could still tell from her tone. This was not something that could be faked. But he just couldn't understand Hua Xiangyue's motives towards him. The reason why he and Liu Meng'er were so close was because they had experienced many things. In addition, Liu Meng'er knew many of Chen Xiang's secrets and knew that Chen Xiang had great potential, so they were able to get together.
Hua Xiangyue was also very sensible. She could guess the reason why Shen Xiang didn't admit it was because he wanted to keep it secret, so she didn't dwell on it any further.
"Little ghost, have you ever been back to the secular world?" Hua Xiangyue asked.
"Not yet. I plan to wait until the Danxiang Taoyuan event is over before going back." Shen Xiang said. He also missed his father very much.
Hua Xiangyue sighed softly: "It seems that Liu Meng'er didn't tell you and Xue Xianxian that something big happened in the secular world. The entire secular world suddenly disappeared, and there was only a large piece of sea water there."
"What?" Shen Xiang stood up suddenly and looked at Hua Xiangyue with disbelief.
"Liu Meng'er must know it, and the head of your Taiwu Sect also knows it. He even discussed it with me last time!" Hua Xiangyue said.
Shen Xiang's body was shaking, his mind was blank, the secular world disappeared, then what about his father and the Shen family? Where did they go?
"I want to go and take a look!" As soon as Chen Xiang finished speaking, Hua Xiangyue grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, they must be fine. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the secular world was not submerged by the sea, but the entire land suddenly disappeared. This is similar to a legend on Chenwu Continent, so Taiwu Sect Leader and Liu Meng'er didn't tell you."
Shen Xiang calmed down and asked: "What legend?"
"Legend has it that before a big storm comes, the secular world will suddenly disappear, and after the storm is over, it will come back, and then... then there will be many horrible corpses on it, corpses that can kill people." Hua Xiangyue said with fear on her face.
Corpses? Immortal Demon Cliff, corpses of immortals and demons. Shen Xiang immediately thought of these. Back then, Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou were led to the bottom of the Immortal Demon Cliff by their enemies. But that was the mortal world. How could there be powerful immortals and demons? And Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou didn't look like people from the mortal world.
"Could it be..." Shen Xiang suddenly thought of something and his heart trembled. If this was the case, the land in the secular world might have reached the heaven!
"Don't worry, the secular world will come back, and the people up there will be safe." Hua Xiangyue comforted.
Shen Xiang sighed deeply, feeling very depressed.
At this time, Bai Youyou said: "What she said is true, the secular world will come back, but it will take some time."
"Little rascal, don't think too much now. Improving your strength is the most important thing. Otherwise, you will definitely not survive the war between the three realms. When you were in the Southern Wilderness, you were already targeted by the demon god. You will be in great danger then." Su Meiyao said.
Shen Xiang left the Danxiang Tower and returned to the Divine Weapon Shop. Liu Meng'er was getting familiar with the power after fusing with the Fire Soul. She saw that Shen Xiang's face was not right, so she asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Sister Meng'er, have you known about the disappearance of the secular world for a long time?" Shen Xiang asked with his head lowered.
Liu Meng'er sighed softly, "Did Hua Xiangyue tell you? Why is this enchantress so ignorant as to tell you these things!"
Shen Xiang knew that Liu Meng'er kept it a secret from him for the good of him and Xue Xianxian, so he didn't blame Liu Meng'er.
