"I'm preparing to go to Death Canyon. There's something there that can cause a stir in my Spirit."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
Lin Beiya's Spirit was very special, and it was something that could cause a stir in the angel statue during its Awakening.
Now, something could even cause a stir in the statue of the goddess of war, immediately piquing her interest.
"Do you know what exactly it is?"
Shaking his head, Lin Beiya had never been to Death Canyon, so he naturally wouldn't know what exactly was attracting the statue to go there.
"I don't know. It's just that last time, when we were encircling and suppressing Evil Soul Masters in Tianshuang Duchy, my Spirit automatically appeared when we passed by Death Canyon on the way back. I'll only know the specifics once I go there."
"I see. Do you need me to send Porcupinefish or Snake Lance to accompany you? There are many high-Rank Spirit Beasts in Death Canyon, and it's quite dangerous."
"No need. Besides looking for the thing that attracts the statue of the goddess of war, I also intend to Cultivate. If they follow me, the effect will be greatly reduced."
"I think no matter how dangerous it is, it won't be more dangerous than Tang Hao, right?"
Rejecting Qian Renxue's kind offer, he indeed wanted to take Ming Xin and Shi Nuo to Death Canyon for some Cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Little Angel could only smile wryly and nod.
Now that Lin Beiya had left Spirit Hall, she was very afraid that the two of them would From then on, we embarked on the road of opposition.
Although from Lin Beiya's current attitude, he was still the same towards her, who knew how things would develop after the test of time?
"Alright, when do you plan to depart?"
"I helped my companions hunt a spirit ring earlier, and they're all a bit tired from the continuous travel. Let's rest for two days before departing."
"This is also so I can see you, lest you worry."
After some thought, Lin Beiya decided to stay for a few days before departing for Death Canyon, as he and Qian Renxue hadn't seen each other for two years.
"Alright, then you must be careful when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, I have many ways to save my life. I'm leaving now. Tomorrow, when you come out, we can go for a walk together."
Just as Lin Beiya was about to leave, his coattail was caught by a pair of delicate fingers.
He turned his head in confusion, meeting Qian Renxue's slightly flushed pretty face.
"It's... it's late. Just rest here tonight. You haven't told me about your fight with Tang Hao yet, have you?"
Looking at the quiet night sky outside the window, Lin Beiya didn't refuse and turned to walk towards the guest table in the center of the room.
"Okay, I won't leave."
He thought that perhaps because they would soon be separated again, the longing in their hearts for each other made them not want to be apart.
Just as Lin Beiya was about to sit down, Qian Renxue called out to him again.
"Beiya, come with me."
"Huh?"
Although he was confused, Lin Beiya didn't stand still. He followed Qian Renxue to a wall in the inner room.
His mental force expanded, and he discovered that the wall in front of him could actually block mental force, suggesting it was made of special Materials. And behind the wall, it was clear there was another scene.
After Qian Renxue tapped the wall a few times in a rhythmic pattern.
The entire wall instantly parted to both sides, revealing a secret passage leading directly underground.
Entering with Qian Renxue, the secret room wasn't very large, but it was fully equipped with living items and facilities.
"This is where I usually bathe and Cultivate."
"My identity, after all, cannot see the light, so it's better to be careful."
Lin Beiya nodded, but his heart held a hint of strangeness. Why would you bring me to such a private place?
Although their relationship in the Hall of Worship was extremely close, he had never stepped into Qian Renxue's boudoir.
Watching Little Angel, who showed no avoidance, remove her shoes and socks, revealing a hint of snow-white as she slowly climbed onto the bed, Lin Beiya didn't know where to look for a moment.
He could only sit cross-legged on the carpet not far from the bed, staring intently at the patterns on the carpet.
"What are you sitting there for?"
"Uh... then where should I sit?"
Lin Beiya, who could face Tang Hao without changing his expression, now appeared exceptionally flustered. In a sense, the pressure Qian Renxue put on him now was even greater than Tang Hao's.
Seeing Lin Beiya's appearance, Qian Renxue's nervousness instantly vanished without a trace, and the corner of her mouth even curved into an arc.
She casually patted the bed beside her.
"Sit here!"
Lin Beiya: "..."
It was late at night. Qian Renxue, who had originally planned to sleep, was wearing light pajamas. What did she mean by asking him to talk on the bed now?
Seeing Lin Beiya's stunned but inactive expression, Little Angel immediately showed disdain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, our Invincible Lin, who can contend with Tang Hao, is actually afraid of this humble little woman. It's truly surprising."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of about you?"
Although he knew Qian Renxue was using a provocation tactic, Lin Beiya fell for it.
He walked towards the exquisite bed in three steps, two, and in a very fluid motion, kicked off his shoes.
"Move in a bit, there's not enough space."
Being pushed further in by a butt, a hint of surprise flashed across Qian Renxue's pretty face. So, all your nervousness just now was an act, wasn't it?
Looking at Lin Beiya, who lay still like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
After a long time of mental preparation, Qian Renxue finally calmed down and slowly lay down, shoulder to shoulder with him.
For some reason, both of them simultaneously felt the temperature in the secret room continuously rising.
It was Qian Renxue who first broke the silence.
"Tell... tell me, how did you escape from Tang Hao's hands?"
"That's a long story. I..."
Opening the floodgates, Lin Beiya began to vividly describe the appearance of Tang Hao and how he swung his big hammer at him.
When he spoke of the thrilling parts, Lin Beiya felt a trace of softness in his arms.
"Ah... you scared me to death! Good thing you ran fast!"
Lin Beiya: "..."
With your knowledge, I suspect you did it on purpose. Are you testing me with this? What do you take me for?
Heh, you're a good judge of character.
As the air in the secret room grew hotter, their two restless hearts finally connected.
Lin Beiya's Giant Horn pierced through Little Angel's Crystal Wall defense.
Qian Renxue began to resist desperately but was beaten senseless by the subsequent Lightning Light Speed Fist. After a long while, she whimpered and raised a white flag.
Under the night moon, a line of crows flew in a 'diào' formation over the Princes Mansion, leaving behind a series of 'caw caw' cries before the night sky returned to peace.
The next day, as sunlight once again shone into the Princes Mansion, Qian Renxue, with stiff steps, was the first to emerge from the secret room.
She turned and glared fiercely at Lin Beiya, who followed closely behind.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Beiya could only chuckle and scratch his head.
"You look quite energetic. There's no need to rest. Let's depart for Death Canyon today."
"Ah... you're injured. I'll come see you again tonight."
"Pah, you want to add new injuries to my old ones."
"Get out, don't come again!"
Qian Renxue roared at Lin Beiya, feigning fierceness, and pointed at the bedroom door, ordering him to leave.
Seeing that he didn't move, a faint glow even appeared in her hand, and the Angelic Sacred Sword stirred restlessly.
Seeing this, Lin Beiya could only peck her red lips lightly, leave a sentence, and then Teleport away from the Princes Mansion.
"I'll come see you again when I return from Death Canyon."
