Chapter 1068 Ji Yuan vs. Ding Xiaoxiao
Ji Yuan stared awkwardly at Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao after hearing her remarks, “Don’t tell me that you are here to fight me?”
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly and was completely nonchalant that she was also being seen by hundreds of cultivators below and hundreds more of the emerging cultivators as they emerged from their shelters.
“I saw the Immortal Heavenly Wrath appearing and I have to come to take a look.”
This Immortal Heavenly Wrath actually turned the entire red heavens from day to night and into a maelstrom that covered hundreds of miles.
So it was not unusual for Ding Xiaoxiao to see it and because she could fly at a tremendous speed, it did not take her long to arrive at the scene.
In fact, she had actually arrived in secret and was just watching Ji Yuan battled the Immortal Heavenly Wrath.
Ji Yuan gave her an awkward look, “Is it purely just to have a look or some other reasons?”
Ding Xiaoxiao appeared to be startled by this question before she slowly displayed a gentle look at Ji Yuan, “You seem to be afraid of me?”
Ji Yuan was supposed to be the alpha of the alphas; how could he admit that he is afraid of a maiden?
So he forced himself to laugh aloud, “Hohoho! Of course not! I will be afraid? Fear never exists in my dictionary!”
Ding Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Then why the look?”
Ji Yuan weakly explained, “I am in no condition to fight you now, that’s why. And didn’t we have an agreement to fight once the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is over?”
Ding Xiaoxiao sighed softly, “So you are still thinking about our duel. Well, I didn’t come to fight with you today. I am just here to offer my congrats to you for being stronger now.”
When Ji Yuan had heard her, he was so relieved that he could not help resisting a loud laughter as he patted Ding Xiaoxiao on her shoulder. 𝐧𝒐𝓋𝑒𝗅𝗇𝞮xt.𝗰𝑶𝗆
“Hahaha, is that so?”
Ding Xiaoxiao was startled when Ji Yuan had suddenly patted her; one must know that no one has ever live after touching her. After all, she has a bad reputation among the Numbers for being a nasty immortal cultivator and she did not care about maintaining a good reputation to anyone.
She wanted to say something but when she saw that Ji Yuan was laughing so jovially, she began to smile too.
Ji Yuan then asked her, “So, you are leaving soon?”
It was quite shameless for him to ask her this question.
He was actually thinking: Since she isn’t here to fight with him then she should be leaving soon, right?
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, “That will depend if you want me to stay or leave.”
Ji Yuan was stunned by this question as he quickly hosted an emergency meeting in his soul sea to Xiang Li, Anyang and Little Yui.
He asked panicky: If I ask her to stay then she will think that I may want to fight her. But if I want her to leave then she may feel insulted and may want to fight me. What should I reply to her?
Little Yui: ???
There was actually no reply except for Little Yui who was looking perplexed with this question; it was because Xiang Li and Anyang were both in a deep slumber. Even Aura was also in a deep slumber due to the battle with the Immortal Heavenly Wrath.
This left Ji Yuan to answer this tricky question alone.
So he answered her hesitatingly, unsure if his answer was the correct one or not. “Erm, I don’t mind you staying here…”
“Then I shall stay here for a while,” Ding Xiaoxiao smiled. “You may have a little trouble on your way…”
She was naturally referring to the disturbances that the Immortal Heavenly Wrath had caused to the Royal City of the Nefarious and the Nefarious Blood Kingdom; naturally she could even feel the presence of a powerful immortal the Immortal Abyssal Gong Diablo in the Royal City of Nefarious.
But for Ji Yuan there was an awkward look on his face; it was because he had actually wanted to say, “I don’t mind you staying here but the Ancient Race may not welcome you at all.”
But because he was thinking and hesitating at the same time, he got interrupted by Ding Xiaoxiao.
He actually did not want her to stay next to him at all and was afraid that she may change her mind about fighting him.
Below, no other cultivators except for Xuan Qiaoqiao knows who the newly arrival was.
Even though the furious tempests of the Immortal Heavenly Wrath had subsided but the natural strong winds of the mountains had prevented any of the cultivators that were looking at them from the Nightfall Heights from hearing them.
They only know that this newly arrived was a powerful cultivator from the Desolate Race and they were greatly startled; it was because there were supposedly no powerful cultivators of the Desolate Race in the Dark Abyssal Realm for a long time.
There may be some reclusive powerful desolate cultivators in some faraway desolate corners of the world but there would be no high level desolate cultivators that would dare to appear deep in the interior territories of the abyssal races; this is plain suicide.
Juan Qiaoqiao could not resist a soft gasp, “It is her?”
Although it was almost inaudible but because Juan Xian’Er was near to her and she was a 8th realm False Immortal, she could hear her quite well so she whispered back, “You know this desolate cultivator?”
Ding Xiaoxiao did not even bother to hide her blue animus or her red crimson eyes, hence she was easily identified as a desolate cultivator.
Xuan Qiaoqiao slowly nodded, “We have met before…”
Juan Xian’Er was startled, “I think her cultivation is stronger than the 8th realm cultivation. I have an uneasy feeling about her. She seems very strong.”
Xuan Qiaoqiao whispered back, “She is. Even Ji Yuan is afraid of her.”
Juan Xian’Er was startled, “They… are not friends?”
They could see that Ji Yuan and this desolate cultivator seemed to be having a conversation and Ji Yuan was even patting her.
Xuan Qiaoqiao muttered weakly, “Maybe they are friends with benefits.”
Juan Xian’Er looked perplexed, “A celestial and a desolate cultivator?”
At this moment and unknown to everyone else, Herald Ma Laide had hastily hurried off and he had broken into cold sweats.
He was actually thinking: I must quickly let the Abyssal King Gong Magog knows about this. This is too shocking…
