Chapter 576: Chapter 576

Caught between a hard rock and a big pebble, Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and Baimei were stunned for the second time the moment Village Chief Xue appeared and was now capable of seeing them. They couldn’t understand why such things happen when they are destined only to become passersby in this world.

All they did was touch an egg?!

Xue Renxue grabbed Tan Bingyu and placed her behind him. Baimei also took a guarded stance. On the other hand, Tan Bingyu was quiet and calm. She is thinking of a way out of their current situation.

"Bing’er, what should we do?" Xue Renxue whispered to his dao companion.

Baimei also said, {Should we run for now? I can carry you away!}

Tan Bingyu, on the other hand, decided to stay and formally explained the situation to the two. It’s better to be honest in this situation. She heard from her elders that the phoenix race is capable of seeing through lies.

"Hello, we are travelers from another place. We came here for this egg. However, we meant no harm to anyone in this village nor had any intention of taking away the egg," Tan Bingyu said.

The Village Chief didn’t buy that at all and asked, "If you came for the egg and had no intention of taking it away, what do you want to see?"

"Well... We should be considered descendants of his," said Xue Renxue.

What he actually wanted to say is that they were descendants of the two of them. Afraid that it might affect the future events which involve them, Xue Renxue can only say it indirectly.

Though he said it this way, Xue Renxue’s hesitation when he glanced at the egg and at the village chief was noticed by the two but didn’t directly ask things about this topic of descendants. The Village Chief Xue only feels familiar which cannot be explained by her. On the other hand, the unhatched phoenix thought of other things which he didn’t share with anything and kept everything in his heart.

The Village Chief said, "That doesn’t properly explain things. How can you become his descendants when he is just an egg right now? What if you are lying?"

The voice coming from the egg had spoken, {They aren’t lying.}

{At the very least, they haven’t spoken any false words.}

Village Chief Xue still couldn’t believe what this couple was saying. They might indeed haven’t told a lie, but they also never spoke directly. They are hiding something from them and this secret is what made her doubt them. However, hearing the serious tone on her friend’s voice, she realized that her egg friend ha capabilities of seeing through lies. He honestly says that they have not spoken any falsehood.

{But like you have said, they weren’t telling us everything, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Though I had some guesses, I won’t speak of it for now. Whether they can or cannot stay in this village depends on you.} The being inside the egg had said.

The Village Chief Xue stares at the three, one spirit beast and two humans, as if judging if they are worth being trusted being allowed to stay in her village. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue didn’t dare to be rude. After all, the ones in front of them as their ancestors, the root of their bloodline.

Upon meeting the pure eyes of the three in front of her, Village Chief Xue can only sighed helplessly.

She said, "Alright! I will allow you to stay in the village. However, if you dare harm even one of the villagers, I will kick you out! Do you understand?"

The three youngsters in front of her nodded like obedient children.

{If you are worried about them, just let them accompany me in this place. They are the kind that doesn’t need to sleep anyway.}

Compared to the cultivators of the future where they run their qi all the time that sleeping and eating normally isn’t necessary, the cultivators of the past just treat their cultivation as a way of gathering power and an accessory to their daily life. It wasn’t their main thing in life.

The Village Chief smiled as she heard this. This means this friend of hers is willing to watch over the village’s safety.

"Then I will leave them in your care. I just came to check on you. Do you need more hay to keep you warm? The temperature starts to drop whenever the Hailstorm is impending to fall." She asked.

{No need. This kind of temperature is better for me. You can go ahead and sleep.}

"Alright then. Good night, A’Feng!" Village Chief Xue said.

The village chief looked at the three before taking her leave and returning to her house to sleep. After she left, Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and Baimei relaxed for a moment but forgot about the egg that was with them in such an open area. Before they could react a light blue glow appeared on Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue’s body. The shade was stronger on Xue Renxue as his bloodline from the Xue Clan is stronger.

This caught Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue off guard and turned their heads to look at the egg when they heard its voice.

{Just as I thought. Both of you possess my bloodline. Though it’s mixed with something else, this is without doubt my direct bloodline. So it was I who had done the taboo of mating with another race.}

{Is it that human called Xue? She is my mate isn’t she?}

This question made Xue Renxue flinch while Tan Bingyu remained calm having controlled her emotions and expressions, she reacted quite normally. Xue Renxue is opposite of her, his emotions are always out for everyone to see and is easy to read unless he intentionally masked it.

{One is so easy to read and the other can hide your emotions well. A good pair. However, your phoenix bloodline is too thin that all you have inherited is the Nine Yin Meridian Physique.}

{Moreover, it’s almost impossible for a man of mixed bloodline and a man to inherit my bloodline. Only a pure Ice Phoenix can survive the Yin he is born with as a male. This one is clearly a male and born with strong Yin energy.}

{I’m amazed that you have found a Phoenix Nirvana Flames to enter rebirth and change your physique from Nine Yin Meridians to Fire and Ice Heavenly Physique. You should have at least the backing of a God King.}

The more the voice speaks of their information, the quieter the couple and the spirit beast is.

{Your auras aren’t pure enough. Is the future lacking qi for you to cultivate?}

At this question, Xue Renxue failed to control his expressions more and this was enough answer for the being inside the egg to get the answer he had been thinking for.

{So you guys are indeed for the future~}

Xue Renxue secretly swallowed and couldn’t help but ask, "H-How did you know?"

{Unlike your wife, you are so easy to read. Even though you tried to hide it, you would unconsciously flinch or your eyes would move around when you’re nervous.}

{When I mentioned Xue being my mate, you flinched. When I said you are from the future your eyes widened for a moment and shook badly. It’s truly great being young~}

Upon hearing this Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue formally greeted their ancestor and clasped their hands before him.

"This descendant greets the ancestor!" The couple collectively said.

Tan Bingyu asked, "Is the ancestor not surprised that we, from a different timeline, suddenly appear on your timeline?"

{No. Those who learn the Laws of Space and Time can jump through timelines. In your case, you might be brought here. By either a senior from the phoenix clan or the future me. Phoenix, who can control rebirth, is knowledgeable with time and space paradoxes.}

{You guys aren’t the first ones I’ve met from distinct timelines. There are more of them in the Immortal World.}

{So, how did you come to this timeline?}

Xue Renxue responded, "Well~ because of a book?"

{Little girl, you explain. This brat seems the kind that is not good with words.}

"We had indeed entered through a book. It’s a special book with the title of Ice Phoenix Awakening and most likely with a wisp of an ice phoenix’s remnant soul living in it. This book was found in the Hall of Wisdom from a Hidden Dungeon called the Fallen God’s Tomb." Tan Bingyu explained.

{Hall of Wisdom. You are talking about the God of Wisdom’s world library?}

"Well, I think it seems that way," said Xue Renxue.

{If it’s indeed that man’s books then... This said book might possess some soul wisp from the phoenix race. That eccentric god loves to ask for soul wisps of every biography of whoever was featured in it and attached it in his book. Both the Righteous and Evil Gods aren’t spared.} For more chapters visıt NoveI-Fire.ɴet
