Chapter 78

After the two people entered the room, they saw a brocade bed, a practice mat, a sandalwood table, several rosewood chairs, and a rosewood chest for storing clothes.

Although the room's decoration was still simple, it was much more exquisite than the room Lin Xi had stayed in for the past three days.

Creak!

As soon as the door closed, the Vampire Queen could no longer hold back. She let out a shrill cry and flew out from Lin Xi's chest. She landed on the ground with a thud, creating a cloud of pink smoke. Then, a cold and noble beauty appeared in the room.

"Vampire Queen!!"

Shangguan Yaoxue was shocked and jumped up from the rosewood chair. She had seen the Vampire Queen in the trial space and recognized her at once.

"Don't panic. This is indeed the Vampire Queen, but she has pledged her loyalty to me. She is now my maid!"

Lin Xi waved his hand and said.

Shangguan Yaoxue looked at the Vampire Queen, whose white skin was barely visible, and her extremely alluring appearance. Her face turned very expressive, and she suddenly stood up, angrily saying:

"Lin Xi, I never thought you would be such a person. You are also a lecherous and evil person!..."

As she spoke, she flicked her sleeve and was about to leave in anger.

Swish!

A flash of light, and Vampire Queen Camilla immediately blocked the door. She extended a finger elegantly and smiled:

"Little girl, trying to leave without the master's permission is very impolite. If that's the case, I wouldn't mind draining all your blood."

Although her posture was elegant, her blue eyes were filled with undisguised threats.

"Camilla, come back."

Lin Xi's face turned green, knowing that Shangguan Yaoxue had misunderstood:

"Alright, I don't mind if you call me lecherous and evil. But at least let me finish explaining what happened."

"What else do you have to say?"

Shangguan Yaoxue was fuming, staring at the Vampire Queen. Camilla was unyielding, looking down at Shangguan Yaoxue with interest.

She had already sensed that this little girl's anger and desire to leave were not simply because of the "lecherous and evil" reason she mentioned.

"What an interesting little girl."

Camilla thought, and couldn't help but think:

"She is still a virgin, her blood should be quite good."

Thinking this, she couldn't resist extending her red, soft tongue to lick her lips. No vampire could resist the temptation of blood, and the Vampire Queen was no exception.

"Enough. Do you want to scare her?"

Lin Xi shouted through the Ancestor's Pact, his voice carrying a hint of threat.

The Vampire Queen's expression changed, knowing that Lin Xi was angry. Her demeanor stiffened slightly. Although Lin Xi was very gentle when talking to Shangguan Yaoxue and didn't put on airs, this didn't mean that Lin Xi was under the Vampire Queen's control.

Camilla clearly remembered the decisive and ruthless aura Lin Xi had when he burst into the temple, along with the strong smell of blood.

Lin Xi didn't speak much, but when he did, it was final and not to be disobeyed.

Swish!

Queen Camilla's figure flashed, appearing by the sandalwood table, sitting on a rosewood chair with her snow-white, slender legs crossed, saying nothing.

"The situation is not what you think."

Lin Xi then recounted the entire story in detail.

"So, you kept her because you felt sorry for her and she took the Ancestor's Oath?"

Shangguan Yaoxue was still a bit angry, but her tone showed that she believed him more. Or perhaps, she subconsciously wanted to believe him.

Lin Xi didn't understand why he was explaining so much. He didn't really need to. However, he felt good about Shangguan Yaoxue, and after the trial gate, their relationship had grown closer.

Moreover, if it weren't for Shangguan Yaoxue lending him the "Golden Toad," things might not have gone so smoothly.

On a personal level, Lin Xi didn't want this friend to misunderstand.

"You should know how powerful my enemies are. You saw what happened. They managed to manipulate the recruitment test in the Immortal World and even sent a Qi Cultivation Realm expert. And that was just the first, weakest wave of attacks. I must do everything I can to strengthen myself. Camilla's loyalty is very important to me and can greatly help me."

Lin Xi said.

Shangguan Yaoxue recalled the chase, and although she didn't admit it, she believed him. However, the sour and jealous feelings in her heart didn't diminish at all.

The noble, cold, and often naked Vampire Queen Camilla was too seductive, making the young girl feel intense competitive pressure and a sense of threat.

She pouted and said to the Vampire Queen, who was sipping tea:

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Vampires are cunning, dark, and lecherous, and not to be trusted. The Vampire Queen is especially so! No Immortal Dao disciple who keeps a vampire has ever amounted to anything. You'd better be careful."

The Vampire Queen was drinking tea when she heard this. Her fingers stiffened, then she continued to drink, casually but pointedly saying:

"That's jealousy!"

"What did you say!"

The young girl was furious, almost losing her composure.

When it came to competing for a man, the inexperienced, young girl was no match for the cold, noble queen. She was quickly defeated.

"Stop it."

In the end, Lin Xi stepped in, separating the two and handing over the "Golden Toad":

"Yaoxue, this magical tool is for you. Thanks to your magical tool, I was able to survive. Besides, I now have the Golden Cauldron, so you need this more."

Lin Xi didn't hide the matter of Dali Zhenren from Shangguan Yaoxue.

Shangguan Yaoxue hesitated, accepting it with some disappointment:

"Alright. I'm staying in room 37 on the Western Peak. I have to meet some senior sisters later. You can come find me if you have time."

Shangguan Yaoxue then handed over a book:

"This is the complete 'Immortal World.' A senior sister lent it to me. Take it and read it. It will be beneficial for you."

"Oh?"

Lin Xi was intrigued and took it. The 'Immortal World' Shangguan Yaoxue handed over was also made of an unknown, silk-like golden material, thin as cicada wings and weightless. However, it was much thicker and more detailed than the incomplete 'Immortal World' Lin Xi had.

"Thank you. I'll return it after I finish reading."

Lin Xi said.

The 'Immortal World' is something every 'Shenxiao Sect' disciple can obtain. Once they reach the Qi Cultivation Realm and become outer sect disciples, they receive this introductory material.

Of course, if one has good relationships, they can also borrow it from other Immortal Dao disciples.

"I'll leave first. Remember to come find me if you have time."

Shangguan Yaoxue sat for a while and then left.

Lin Xi saw her to the door and, upon returning, heard Camilla's voice:

"Master, this little girl is quite infatuated with you."

Camilla's voice carried a special, ambiguous tone.

Lin Xi's expression stiffened. In matters of love, he was a novice. Although he could subdue Camilla in combat, in this area, the cold, noble queen could easily handle ten Lin Xis.

Such things don't depend on experience. For the Vampire Queen, it's a natural talent!

"Enough. Don't joke about me and her. Also, put on this set of robes."

Lin Xi casually threw a set of Daoist robes at her:

"The Shenxiao Sect is an Immortal Dao sect. You should move around less. I'm afraid other Immortal Dao disciples will shout to subdue demons and kill you on sight, or cause unnecessary trouble."

Facing the Vampire Queen was a great test, especially with Camilla's completely open, inviting, and unresisting attitude. Lin Xi felt he was about to lose control. If this continued, he would either become a lecher or a saint!

Moreover, the Vampire Queen's seductive power was too strong. If other Immortal Dao disciples saw her, nine out of ten would be unable to resist. That would be troublesome.

This time, Camilla didn't say much. When it came to her own life, even the cold, noble queen would be very practical.

However, when dressing, Camilla seemed to "twist" somewhere, dressing very slowly. This half-hidden, half-revealed allure was even more excessive than being completely naked. And the queen seemed completely unaware, looking innocent.

It wasn't until Lin Xi, almost nosebleeding, harshly conveyed a message through the Ancestor's Pact that Camilla became a bit more obedient and quickly put on the clothes.

Regardless of Camilla wearing the Daoist robes and covering her allure, Lin Xi opened the 'Immortal World' given by Shangguan Yaoxue and began to read carefully...

...

At the same time.

"Crack."

A white porcelain cup shattered in Long Bingyan's delicate fingers.

Long Bingyan sat above, her beautiful face showing no expression. Below her, a Qi Cultivation Fifth Level Immortal Dao disciple was already drenched in cold sweat.

"Li Wuji, do you mean to say that you failed the simple task I gave you?"

Long Bingyan's voice was calm, but to those who knew her, it was bone-chilling.

"Please forgive me, Senior Sister. I didn't expect our people to die while he escaped. Please believe me one more time. This time, I will personally take care of him."

Li Wuji said uneasily.

Heaven knows how this kid managed to escape. The Qi Cultivation Realm experts he sent in all died, but he survived.

After a moment's thought, Li Wuji continued:

"Brothers in the mission hall say that the Vampire Queen in the Vampire Space has been resurrected and is leading other vampires to sweep through dimensions. Our people might have encountered the Vampire Queen and been killed by her. — This kid was just lucky. But his luck won't last forever."
