Chapter 1403: Chapter 45 Choice_2

Upon seeing the Dao Intention pervading around Daoist Yuanci, a rare look of surprise appeared on her face.

“This realm… such profound foundations; is this an Incarnation?”

Surprise shimmered in her eyes.

Then, as if she heard something, her eyes suddenly focused, and she said in a low voice:

“Is he the one you spoke of, the one who was with you?”

From within her body, the voice of Qin Lingxiao spoke:

...

“Yes, this is his Incarnation… I earnestly request that the senior spares us, out of consideration for our effort to return Yuchen’s physical body from tens of thousands of miles away.”

The eyes of ‘Qin Lingxiao’ narrowed slightly.

Gazing at Daoist Yuanci, she instead asked:

“His original body, that’s where your emotional entanglement lies, right?”

Within her body, the voice fell silent for a moment.

Then, it said:

“Please be magnanimous, senior.”

But ‘Qin Lingxiao’ simply nodded nonchalantly, vanishing from the spot without a sound.

In that moment, Daoist Yuanci, upon witnessing ‘Qin Lingxiao’s’ disappearance, instinctively retreated swiftly!

An ancient and damaged drum appeared in front of him in an instant, guarding him.

“A Class V upper-grade magic treasure…”

An old voice suddenly rang out in front of him.

Daoist Yuanci’s expression tightened.

And behind him, Xianyu Hu and the others all changed their expressions dramatically, each immediately kneeling to the ground:

“We greet the Old Matriarch!”

The figure of ‘Qin Lingxiao’ quietly condensed in front of Daoist Yuanci; an indisguisable Evil Qi danced wildly around her.

She paid no mind to the salutations of Xianyu Hu and others, her gaze directly falling on the ancient drum in front of Daoist Yuanci, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

But then a tinge of regret emerged:

“What a pity it’s so severely damaged, having even reached its core. Otherwise, if thrown into the Extreme Southern Wind Cave, it could’ve been somewhat useful.”

The words of ‘Qin Lingxiao’ made Daoist Yuanci feel a chill in his heart.

However, he responded very quickly, saying in a low voice:

“I have seen the Master’s Wife.”

“Master’s Wife?”

‘Qin Lingxiao’ was momentarily taken aback.

Staring blankly at Daoist Yuanci.

Listening to this strange and alien title.

The Evil Qi that once filled the air unexpectedly faded into stillness.

In her eyes, a rare softness quietly emerged.

Unconsciously, she nodded slightly.

Then her gaze moved to the Storage Treasure on Daoist Yuanci’s waist, her face betraying a mix of urgency and timidity.

The usually resolute and decisive her, at this moment, showed rare hesitation.

A hoarse and ancient voice sounded low:

“Is he… here?”

Though Daoist Yuanci was not as sensitive to emotional fluctuations as the Ice Daoist, being an extension of the same lineage as the original body, he naturally had keen sight.

He could perceive the changes in the other’s expression and demeanor.

Seeing this, he did not dare to neglect her, carefully extracting a separate Storage Treasure from the inner lining of his garment.

“Returning to the Master’s Wife, I couldn’t bear to place the teacher’s body with mundane items, so I stored it separately here.”

Seeing how solemn Daoist Yuanci was, ‘Qin Lingxiao’s’ eyes showed a few more degrees of satisfaction.

Her attention, however, was soon completely captured by the Storage Treasure before her.

There was both longing and hesitation in her eyes.

She hesitated and then reached out her hand.

Daoist Yuanci hastily presented the Storage Treasure into her hand.

Yet, he visibly noticed her hand tremble upon receiving it.

His heart skipped a beat.

While ‘Qin Lingxiao’ was already beyond caring about others’ judgements.

Holding the Storage Treasure in her hand, light as a feather, yet at this moment, it seemed as heavy as a mountain range.

While a sweep of her Spiritual Sense could clearly reveal everything inside, at this moment, she felt a surge of panic, even fearing to look.

She suddenly clutched the Storage Treasure tightly in her hand, looked at Daoist Yuanci, her voice dry and raspy:

“What… what did he tell you all?”

Daoist Yuanci hesitated, not speaking, but took out the Spiritual Pearl and Token left behind in the temporary immortal cave by Yuchen.

Seeing these two items, ‘Qin Lingxiao’ trembled.

Without any noticeable movement,

The Spiritual Pearl and Token instantly lay before her.

Rising and falling.

Her hand trembled as she gently touched the Spiritual Pearl and Token, as if caressing the face of a loved one.

“These are his… all of these are his things…”

Daoist Yuanci opportunedly said in a low voice:

“I was blessed with the teacher’s legacy and learned the Yuanci True Method. The teacher’s last words were for us to return his physical body to Yuanci Palace; he mentioned his greatest regret was that he couldn’t see you again…”

‘Qin Lingxiao’ shook violently.

She couldn’t help looking at the Storage Treasure in her hands.

It seemed her heart finally made up its mind.

She channeled Mana into it, her body uncontrollably trembling.

A figure of a man, clad in a silver robe with ancient patterns, sitting cross-legged, silently flew out of the Storage Treasure.

Eyes brilliant as stars, but with a slight furrow between his brows, as if carrying an irremediable regret.

He didn’t speak, nor could he.

Just silently gazing into the distance.

As if eternally immersed in an indescribable solitude.

From ‘Qin Lingxiao’s’ body, the apparition of an old crone slowly drifted away.

With the appearance of the old crone’s phantom,

The sky abruptly changed, as if storm clouds had gathered!

However, she seemed utterly indifferent.

Just staring blankly at the man’s corpse.

Her lips slightly parted, but she couldn’t utter a word.

Over eons of time, numerous memories that had nearly faded, on the sight of this man, suddenly came vividly to life.

Those blurry figures and scenes in memory finally gained a face that belonged to him.
