At this moment, the exceptionally beautiful and aloof woman nodded slightly, her dark eyes profound! Her demeanor was resolute! Her gaze was firm! Her aura was cold, noble, and unrestrained… as if possessing unyielding pride and an unstoppable spirit!
Fan Yin Ying Xue was slightly startled, and in a flash, she seemed to see that spirited young man…
"So alike…"
Exactly like that person's initial appearance! Fearless of power, proud but not arrogant, flamboyant yet measured, possessing supreme talent, yet still holding onto their original intention.
Jin Bao'er lowered her gaze in thought, not noticing the woman's murmur, and silently noted her advice…
After she left the Fan Yin Family, the few pursuing auras also quickly vanished, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief!
As one of the seven great families of the Upper Realm, the Fan Yin Family naturally had its own hidden operatives. She had sensed being watched the moment she entered, but those individuals had made no unusual moves. Only when she left did they withdraw their gaze.
Jin Huang had been unable to contain herself for a while. Seeing that they had already left the main city, she eagerly appeared beside Jin Bao'er.
"Master, who was that woman? Why did she help her find something? And that jade pendant…"
Her voice trailed off, and she seemed somewhat at a loss, her voice significantly quieter.
"There seems to be a familiar aura on it."
Clever as she was, she already had a guess. She was no longer the little chick that had just hatched! Moreover, the old patriarch of the Phoenix clan had instructed her that if she ever went to the Upper Realm and met her mother, she should relay a message…
In the more than ten years since her birth, it wasn't that she hadn't thought of her mother, occasionally feeling longing and worry. However, the care and affection Jin Bao'er had given her, along with the friendly companionship of her peers, made her feel neither lonely nor isolated. Instead, she lived a life that was free and fulfilling…
Now that she was here, it wasn't that she hadn't considered finding her mother. But compared to a mother she had never met, Jin Bao'er was clearly more important. The anxiety in her heart was completely suppressed. She hadn't expected that Jin Bao'er was already looking for someone?
Seeing her like this, Jin Bao'er understood. A hint of a helpless smile appeared on her face.
"Since I promised that senior, I will certainly fulfill it! As long as they are still alive, mother and daughter will surely meet again someday!"
"As for the person just now, she was an acquaintance of your mother! I decided to investigate the Immortal-Demon Battlefield after her hint, and indeed, I found some clues. At the very least, it proves that your mother and that senior did go to the Immortal-Demon Continent."
And, it was highly likely they disappeared there!
She didn't say the last part aloud. After all, the person couldn't be found right now. It was strange! If the person was dead, there should at least be a corpse, but she had only seen those two items! If they were alive, they should have come out long ago, but why hadn't Fan Yin Ying Xue of the entire Upper Realm found anyone…
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes in thought. She couldn't rule out the possibility that he encountered danger at the time and could only seek refuge in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, and then something happened that forced him to be captured, or he died without a whole body!
But there was no phoenix aura in that place, and she couldn't be sure! If only there was someone who could explain… what? Hmm?
A gray figure suddenly appeared in her mind. The trial master should know something, right? How could she forget such an important person! It seemed she had to go back again…
Hearing her words, a flash of excitement and guilt crossed Jin Huang's eyes! Her master treated her so well, how could she not be moved!
Recalling her life from birth until now, it seemed she hadn't done anything useful for her master. Most of the time, her master had protected her. And this time, even though she had become much stronger after passing through the Dragon Soul Realm, she still needed her master's help to find her mother!
The next second, Jin Bao'er felt her arm gently grabbed, firm but not uncomfortable! The small girl beside her, a head shorter than her, looked at her with red-rimmed eyes, full of trust and emotion!
"Master, if you were a man, I would definitely marry you!"
As soon as she finished speaking!
"Bang!"
Jin Bao'er stared at her blankly, a rare hint of bewilderment in her eyes, then subconsciously shifted her gaze to the white cat in the girl's arms…
Hey! Aren't you going to say something? Your wife is about to cheat on you!
The little white cat, who had been extremely bored, immediately turned its ears into airplane ears upon hearing this. Its deep blue beast eyes suddenly shot towards the girl holding it, and the fur on its tail began to puff up…
Seeing this, a smile flickered in Jin Bao'er's eyes. As expected… he couldn't hold back anymore, right?
The next second!
The little white cat seemed to realize the girl's seriousness and angrily leaped from her embrace. It lightly landed on Jin Bao'er's shoulder, appearing as if it had encountered its natural enemy, its fur standing on end in a state of complete vigilance!
"Stinky bird, you dare to fight for this King's person?!"
Jin Bao'er: "…"
Forget what I just said! Stubborn men deserve to be single forever!
The girl, who was agitated, immediately snapped back to her senses upon hearing this. The overwhelming gratitude and affection in her heart gradually settled, and she glared back at the white cat with a face full of arrogance! Her sarcastic tone was a perfect imitation of Long Li Xing!
"Tsk… compete with you? Do I need to compete? I have a soul contract with Master, the kind that separates us for a lifetime! Master loves me the most. As for a beast like you… tsk tsk! Who cares about you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little white cat's beast eyes narrowed sharply! It was so angry it was almost dead. Jin Bao'er could even feel his overwhelming rage… the pressure of the Celestial Saint realm couldn't be contained and spread out…
Jin Huang, unafraid, let out a cold snort and then unleashed her full aura! The scorching pressure suddenly descended…
Seeing that they were about to fight, Jin Bao'er quickly moved to retrieve Tian Shu into her spatial artifact, fearing that if they continued to argue, they would actually fight!
If that happened and caused a commotion, it would be difficult for her to leave.
"Let's leave here first."
Seeing this, Jin Huang obediently retracted her pressure and followed Jin Bao'er's movements. However, she felt a little unnatural in her heart… In fact, she and Tian Shu had confronted each other like this many times, and they had never actually fought. At most, they would bicker. She knew the limits.
After the figures of the two vanished from their original positions… the few figures who had left not long ago suddenly reappeared. Seeing the scene outside the main city, their pupils slightly contracted…
The surroundings were scorched black, the already sparse flowers and grasses had withered, and one side of a few large trees was completely carbonized, emitting residual heat!
One of them walked to the side with a look of disbelief. He felt the temperature from a nearby stone lion and instinctively reached out to touch it…
Instantly, he gasped in pain! He almost cried out! The others were also drawn to his unusual reaction. When they saw the clear blister of a burn on his finger, they were even more shocked!
