Chapter 177: Chapter 119 Why Don’t You Like Me

Which idle fellow is causing a ruckus over here? Fortunately, every time before she entered the God Demon Prison, she had gotten into the habit of finding a good place to secure her Demon Eye; she definitely didn’t want to perform a big live transformation in front of strangers.

Someone’s coming, right? She saw Changtian suddenly raise his eyebrows, and Qiongqi also shook his head as if listening, clearly indicating that the newcomers weren’t just random passersby, but people these two rascals knew.

"Hey, who’s outside? Don’t think I can’t hear you!" she thought anxiously.

Before Changtian could reply, Qiongqi chuckled: "Mistress, leave it to me."

The next sentence Qiongqi uttered turned into a magnetic female voice: "You returned from the sect yesterday, why didn’t you tell me?"

Not to mention Ning Xiaoxian jumping in fright, even Changtian glanced sideways. Qiongqi actually possessed this skill to imitate others’ voices to perfection; they never knew it before. Even Changtian was surprised, and the Pill Furnace was all the more smug. She thought about it and let it go: the Pill Furnace’s replication abilities were so powerful, it could remember any complex Elixir recipe, so why not a human’s voice, intonation, and emotions?

"Such trivial matters, why bother mentioning them?" This time it was a deep male voice. Ning Xiaoxian mused to herself, ’bother mentioning’ was an exquisite phrase, usually used in thanks, but now it actually implied ’hanging by the mouth’.

The voices of these two people had left a deep impression on her; now effortlessly, she recognized them as Hu Huoer and Tantai Yi!

Hu Huoer choked, probably composed herself, then continued: "Congratulations. The Clearing Void Sect already owns Rock City and is rolling in wealth, and now the emergence of Spiritual Tea means your income won’t just be Silver Taels, but also heaps of Spirit Stones."

Ning Xiaoxian patted her head, thinking how simple-minded this lady Granny was. Sure enough, Tantai calmly said, "That may not necessarily be a good thing, but thanks for the kind thought, fairy."

"Eh, why isn’t it a good thing?"

"Who wouldn’t be envious of a unique business like this? And the Clearing Void Sect isn’t exactly a Great Sect." Tantai lightly moved on, not wanting to say more, "Fairy Hu, what brings you to me today?" He always avoided Hu Huoer at every turn, and this time it seemed he was caught red-handed, and had to talk to her in a secluded place out of necessity.

Hu Huoer fell silent, and after a while shyly said, "In half a month, it will be my hundredth birthday. Master has said he wants to celebrate it for me, you... will you come then?" By the end of her words, her voice grew softer, but teeming with boundless expectation. Ordinary women prefer not to mention their age after thirty, but she is a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator with a long life; a hundred years old for her is indeed the prime of youth. Being the most beloved beauty of the Chaoyun Sect, the news of her birthday celebration, if spread out, would attract countless young talents to come and congratulate.

Hearing that she was already a hundred, even though Ning Xiaoxian knew the cultivators lived long, she couldn’t help feeling envious. A hundred years old, most ordinary women would hardly live to this age, and the few lucky ones would look withered with old age, at their wits’ end, let alone remain as youthful and stunning as Hu Huoer outside?

Perhaps her envy was written all over her face, as Changtian suddenly said, "Why envy? The sooner one enters the Dao, the younger one’s appearance will be. If you don’t return to your original world, after hundreds or thousands of years, I assure you that you could still look as you do today!"

Upon hearing this, she looked at Changtian, but saw his expression unchanged, his deep gaze seemingly dancing with a small cluster of golden flames. Her heart couldn’t help but thump wildly: "What, what is he hinting at?"

At this moment, both inside and outside the God Demon Prison, the two of them looked at each other in silence.

Outside, Hu Huoer’s heartbeat was probably faster than hers, but she waited for a long time before she heard Tantai calmly say, "Then congratulations to the fairy. I’ve settled my affairs here and will return to Qiyun Peak to start my seclusion tomorrow. I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend fairy’s birthday banquet."

She seemed to hear Hu Huoer’s gasp. "Tantai Yi!" Hu Huoer finally couldn’t suppress her anger and exclaimed, "What’s wrong with me that you keep rejecting and avoiding me?! When you, wounded in the fight with the Beiming Demon, were saved and cared for by me; when the Clearing Void Sect disciples were attacked outside, I helped; when Master wanted me to kill Ning Xiaoxian, I spared her life for your sake; even when the Clearing Void Sect faced a powerful enemy, it was me who brought reinforcements."

"Tantai Yi, what is wrong with me that you despise me so?!" Her temper was explosive, and the last sentence was almost a shout. Qiongqi mimicked exactly, leaving Ning Xiaoxian’s ears buzzing, thinking that this Hu Xianzi, looking like a mixed-race, surely matched the temperament of people from the Western Regions—frank and straightforward in action and speech.
