Chapter 336: Chapter 336

What's this all about? You really want to cling to me, huh? Even if I have other women, you wouldn't mind—you, this high-and-mighty strong woman, would be willing to endure such grievance?

"Hei Xue, I didn't expect you wouldn't even mind this. But this is for the best. I was originally planning to have Dongfang Wuqing be with Xiaoyao. Their union would definitely produce even purer Demon Cult orthodoxy. I originally thought you'd mind, so I didn't want to suggest this," Fan Gao naturally also heard Hei Xue's thoughts and immediately proposed his idea.

In Fan Gao's view, currently the person with the purest bloodline besides Xiaoyao, who had suddenly appeared, was Dongfang Wuqing. For the sake of Demon Cult orthodoxy, he would find a way to make Dongfang Wuqing agree to this. Of course, if Dongfang Wuqing disagreed, he would have no recourse.

In the Demon Cult, there was another rule—no one could force others to do anything. Of course, this referred to their own people; for outsiders, they didn't need to observe this.

"..." Xiaoyao felt speechless. How had these people turned him into a breeding stallion?

"I don't oppose it, though I don't agree either," Hei Xue said.

"You should look at what's inside first instead of talking about these meaningless things," Xiaoyao didn't want to continue this topic. These Demon Cult people were all somewhat abnormal.

The most abnormal was this Hei Xue—you're a female demon head standing at the peak of the Demon Cult, so how could you act like a little woman? This was too unscientific.

Since such unscientific things happened, Xiaoyao naturally didn't want to continue. Moreover, he was more interested in what was inside, because he felt this thing might have some connection to him.

Bloodline was fundamentally a type of connection. Xiaoyao's blood being able to open this indicated his background had a certain connection to this.

Xiaoyao currently had two theories: one was that new clues about his parents had appeared. This was a situation that made him feel helpless. The other was that the several possibilities he had mastered were themselves connected to this.

The former was tolerable, at most making people feel powerless, but the latter became interesting. Speaking of which, the partners of Princess Zhuyue and Fang Chunxue both seemed to have unclear identities—anything was possible.

As for the final possibility, that was even more interesting. They themselves came from the Martial Arts Holy Land, which indicated something very interesting—there was Demon Cult bloodline in the Martial Arts Holy Land. Perhaps that wasn't the Demon Cult, but another type of force.

If combined with that rumor about the Demon Cult's origins, things became even more fun. Perhaps the Demon Cult itself came from the Martial Arts Holy Land. If this theory were true, then who would dare call the Demon Cult an evil heretical sect? Those joint campaigns to eliminate the Demon Cult would be even more impossible.

The four words "Martial Arts Holy Land" were sufficient to transform the Demon Cult from negative to positive.

Regardless of which it was, this was a new clue that Xiaoyao felt needed to be clarified. However, this still required the other party's agreement.

"This is a Demon Cult secret. You're not qualified to know," Fan Gao refused. For this, he had the right to refuse to show anyone. This had nothing to do with Demon Cult rules. Unless someone qualified requested to know, and obviously Xiaoyao didn't have this qualification.

Hei Xue did have this qualification, but given the current situation, Fan Gao would definitely look at it himself first before deciding whether to immediately show it to Hei Xue.

Those qualified could see it, but not immediately—it could be shown later.

Hei Xue knew this point, so she didn't ask anything, just watched Xiaoyao as if only having Xiaoyao in her world was enough.

"What are you looking at me for? You brought all this trouble over. Women really are sources of disaster," Xiaoyao said irritably. However, he didn't feel the slightest discomfort from Hei Xue's gaze. This wasn't because he accepted Hei Xue, but because he never cared about others' gazes.

"I... I was wrong..." Hei Xue didn't argue, just lowered her head to admit her mistake. She had indeed brought trouble to Xiaoyao, and this was something she had considered, although she hadn't thought it would be this troublesome at the time, but she knew it would definitely bring trouble to Xiaoyao.

Even now, knowing this trouble would be great, if she had to choose again, she would still make the same decision, because between the Demon Cult and Xiaoyao, she valued the Demon Cult more—at least currently.

This was also normal. Her feelings for Xiaoyao came from peculiar reasons, and their total time together didn't even add up to ten hours. If she were to put Xiaoyao before the Demon Cult, that would be strange.

However, without the Demon Cult, Xiaoyao would still be most important.

Perhaps even after truly falling in love with Xiaoyao, she would still put the Demon Cult first. This actually wasn't strange either—in this world, many people put family and love in second place, third place, or even lower.

"Good that you know you were wrong. We'll wait here for him to finish reading and then show us," Xiaoyao didn't continue that topic with Hei Xue, just looked at the distant Fan Gao. However, he soon couldn't see anymore because Fan Gao had people form a circle, not letting anyone see even a trace.

It seemed peeking was now impossible—he could only wait for him to bring it out himself. Anyway, the other party would show it to him. Xiaoyao was eighty percent certain of this, because...

Xiaoyao stopped staring and looked up at the bright moon in the sky—that bright, full moon was always so beautiful.

"Ah, you're not angry with me anymore?" Hei Xue was making a fuss beside him, interrupting Xiaoyao's moon-gazing mood. She had originally thought Xiaoyao would blame her, but unexpectedly Xiaoyao didn't seem to care much, just saying "Good that you know you were wrong."

This made Hei Xue feel very uncomfortable—not the feeling of reality differing from imagination, but because she felt Xiaoyao's indifference showed he simply didn't care about her. Whatever she did wrong, he was too lazy to bother with it.

Too lazy to bother—this deeply stung Hei Xue's heart, making her very uncomfortable.

Because of this, Hei Xue seemed to overlook Xiaoyao's attitude. Otherwise, she would have discovered that Xiaoyao might know some things about the box, or he wouldn't have spoken in such a tone.

"What use is blaming you? The result won't change. Also, perhaps I should thank you for this matter—this is also something I wanted to know," Xiaoyao lowered his head to face Hei Xue, smiling as he spoke without appearing angry, letting Hei Xue understand he really was fine.

Not only did he not blame her, he also wasn't close to her. His smile was just out of politeness—his habitual politeness. Perhaps he didn't care about her, but thinking positively, he also didn't dislike her.

"What did you want to know? Is it about what's in that box? Haven't you opened it before?" Hei Xue also smiled, asking Xiaoyao several questions in succession.

"Didn't I say I haven't opened it? No, I haven't even seen what's inside," Xiaoyao realized his words were somewhat problematic and immediately changed his statement.

Hei Xue rolled her eyes at Xiaoyao irritably and said, "Don't lie to me anymore. You must have seen it. I don't know how you got in, but you always give people surprises."

Hei Xue had already determined Xiaoyao had been inside. Even without evidence, she was still certain Xiaoyao had been inside and seen this box. However, Xiaoyao probably hadn't opened it, or there wouldn't be this current scene.

At the same time, she had suspected this before, because Xiaoyao appearing at Heavenly Gate was strange to begin with, and staying at Heavenly Gate for so long was even more suspicious. However, since the Demon Palace hadn't been opened at the time, she could only dismiss this idea.

However, even though she had dismissed this thought, she still harbored some suspicions in her heart, and today Xiaoyao's performance undoubtedly confirmed these suspicions.

"Alright, I admit it—I have indeed been inside. As for the method, don't ask. That's a personal secret," Xiaoyao didn't deny it at this point because he felt it was meaningless. Things Hei Xue was certain about wouldn't change easily.

"At the time, I saw this box, but what was inside was useless to me. Plus, I hadn't thought my blood could open it, so I didn't open it."

Why didn't Xiaoyao try? Hei Xue didn't need to ask to know—she felt Xiaoyao definitely didn't want to waste his blood, unwilling even to spare a single drop.

As for how Xiaoyao entered that room, she didn't ask either, because Xiaoyao would definitely say it was a personal secret. Moreover, if he could enter the Demon Palace without opening the doors, then entering that room seemed easier to understand.

Now Hei Xue just wanted to ask—

"How did you know what was inside was useless to you when you never opened it?" The source of thɪs content is novelꜰire.net

That's right—if Xiaoyao had never opened it, how could he characterize what was inside? Hei Xue absolutely wouldn't believe this was Xiaoyao's speculation—he must have known something to say this.

"It's written on top, okay? Didn't you see it?" Xiaoyao said casually.

Hei Xue was stunned, then exclaimed in surprise again, "What? It's written on top? Why didn't I see it? I've already studied the surface—besides some strange patterns, there are no words at all."

Perhaps others would wonder why Hei Xue was being so dramatic, as this didn't match her personality. But if they knew about this matter, they wouldn't find it strange, because they felt they would react the same way.

After the box was discovered, it had been studied by people. Countless people had carefully examined it, and no one had found any clues. Besides some opening instructions on a plaque found with the box, the box itself had no words—at least, they had never discovered any. This included Fan Gao across from them.
