The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 171 - Xu Shang's Exposure

Qin Feng wanted to find out who the owner of the voice he heard was but he could not find that person. Qin Feng was sure of one thing, that is the owner of the voice he heard must be in this small cave. But even though the cave was small, he could not find anyone.

It was at this moment when the voice again sounded. As if the owner of this voice has already decided not to expose herself, she only said, "Ice Empress was one of the True Gods who were at the verge of breaking through in her cultivation and become a Great God. But for some reason, she suddenly vanished from the universe after the fight against the demon race ended. I never expected her to be here."

"The letter in your hand is written by her.. In that letter, she is saying that the person who could come here can keep her cultivation technique and battle skill and even the Emperor Ring. In exchange, that person must wake her up from her deep slumber. She was attacked by Demon God and was poisoned with Hell Poison."

"Hell Poison is an extremely terrifying poison. It is so terrifying that it can even kill a Great God in the time, less than an hour. She was able to resist this poison because of her control over the ice element to the extreme. It is not like she is called the Ice Empress for nothing. She has absolute control over the ice element."

"The most terrifying thing about the Hell Poison was that the Hell Poison doesn't poison blood, flesh, or other parts body. What it poison is one's soul."

"Although she was able to resist the Hell Poison, no matter what, Hell Poison is something that can even kill a Great God in less than one hour, she was still a True God at that time. She knew that she'll die if she let the Hell Poison spread continuously. So to stop this poison from poisoning her entire soul, she used all her abilities to freeze her soul and because of that, she fell in eternal slumber."

"To the person who came here, she only wants that person to help her search for a drop of Divine Soul Essence of a Primordial Beast."

Telling till here, the voice stopped. It didn't sound again for quite some time. Qin Feng was also deep in thought after hearing all of these things. He looked at the Ice Empress who was sleeping in the middle of the Ice Block. He didn't expect such a beautiful person to be poisoned by the terrifying Hell Poison.

He also remembered where he had heard the voice that told him what was written on the letter. It was the disciple of the Mysterious Lady.

"You are her, right? The disciple of the Mysterious Lady!" Qin Feng exclaimed when he remembered who she was.

"Humph! My master is not some Mysterious Lady. Her name is Ye Zhiqui and she is also your..." The voice again suddenly stopped in the middle and then again said, "Anyway, my name is Xu Shang."

A light shone when the voice stopped and brightened the entire cave, forcing Qin Feng to close his eyes. When Qin Feng felt that the light was dissipating, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at another beautiful figure that appeared inside the cave.

She was Xu Shang who was sent here by Ye Zhiqui to protect Qin Feng from dangers.

Her master told her not to expose herself in front of Qin Feng and protect him from the dark but she accidentally exposed herself. She couldn't stop when she came to know that the lady frozen inside the ice block was none other than Ice Empress, Xue Bingyue.

Because of her exclamation, she knew that she was exposed. Because of this, she explained to Qin Feng what was written in the letter left behind by the Ice Empress.

Although Ye Zhiqui already knew that her disciple was a little mischievous and will surely expose herself in front of Qin Feng sooner or later, she still wouldn't have thought that she'll be discovered by Qin Feng so soon. Who knows what she'll think or do if she were to know about this?

Looking at Xu Shang, Qin Feng was again stunned. This time, Xu Shang's face was not covered with the veil. Her extremely beautiful face was right in front of Qin Feng and he could tell that her beauty was in no way inferior to the Ice Empress who has frozen her own soul to stop the Hell Poison from spreading and corroding her soul.

"Cough! Cough!"

Seeing that Qin Feng kept looking at her without even blinking, Xu Shang's face turned red from embarrassment. Qin Feng was the first man she has ever seen or come in contact with.

From the moment she opened her eyes for the first time, she was with her master ever since. Her master was a special entity in the entire Universe, and in the whole universe, there was not a single being stronger than her master.

Of course, there was one time when a person stood at the apex of the Universe and was even stronger than her master. That person was KING, her master's lover, and fiancé.

Xu Shang always lived with her master ever since her birth. Her master stayed hidden from the Universe and never went outside. Her master has other disciples but all of them are girls and not a single one is a boy.

Her master's other disciples were also very strong and all of them had been to many worlds. Whenever she heard her senior sisters talking about the outside world, she always envy them. She also wanted to go and adventure outside but her master never let her go. Her master kept her by her side always.

When her master brought her to meet Qin Feng, that was the first time she met a man that her senior sisters talked about.

And when her master gave the responsibility of protecting Qin Feng from the dark, she knew her chance has come. She was so excited that she immediately agreed and from then on, she was always by Qin Feng's side, observing everything he had done and he was doing.

When she noticed Qin Feng kept staring at her without blinking his eyes, a strange feeling was born in her heart that she can not explain. Her cheeks also turned red from embarrassment. She could not help but cough twice to bring Qin Feng back to his senses.

Qin Feng was also embarrassed when he came back to his sense. He felt really awkward and didn't know what to say.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng calmed his heart down. Then he again looked at Xu Shang and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"That..." Xu Shang stopped and didn't continue to say. After all, she could not tell Qin Feng that she was following him all this time to protect him from any life-threatening danger.

She immediately thought of an excuse and said, "I requested my master to send me to this Forbidden Land. I wanted to look at what this broken piece of Universe really looked like. My master gave me permission and told me to follow you. So, I am here. I'll be staying with you from now on!"

"Wait... What? You are saying that you'll be staying with me from now on, impossible!" Qin Feng suddenly said.

"Why?" When Qin Feng rejected Xu Shang, she felt like crying. No one has ever rejected her requests when she was still staying with her master. Qin Feng was the first one to reject her. Her pair of beautiful large eyes blurred because of water that suddenly appeared in her eyes. Drops of tears were about to drop on her cheeks.

"This...?"

Qin Feng was shocked when he saw this scene. He couldn't understand why Xu Shang was about to cry. He had only said that it is impossible for her to stay with him, what is the need for crying?

He couldn't watch Xu Shang's eyes which were filled with tears. Sighing, he said, "Ok, you can stay with me but on one condition!"

"What condition?" Xu Shang cleared the tears with her right hand and asked.

"You were already there when I was telling your master about the Infinity Symbol on my hand. So, you already know that there is a mysterious space where I could enter and exit as I wish!"

Xu Shang nodded her head and said, "Hmm, I know. There is also a large gate through which you can go to any worlds you have been before!"

Qin Feng nodded his head and said, "My condition is that you have to stay inside the mysterious space. You can not come out whenever there is someone near me, ok?"

"Ok, I accept this condition of yours!" Xu Shang happily agreed.

She has been following Qin Feng all this time and knew that most of the time, Qin Feng was alone. It means that she doesn't have to stay in the mysterious space of the Infinity Symbol always. Most of the time, she can come out.
