Chapter 597 -297: What’s It Like to Be Surrounded by Eight Women?

When Jiang the Immortal spoke, everyone fell into silence. Will the human world truly reach complete destruction?

And Qin Mengyao, where will her destiny lead?

Chu Xuan frowned in deep thought, while Fuyun Zi asked worriedly, “Will anything happen to Mengyao? Or rather, what exactly will the Saint do?”

Jiang Wang pondered and said, “Right now, Qin Mengyao bears the great momentum of the human world, sweeping the fate of all realms. She is no longer just a simple high-level cultivator.”

“The more beings that pour faith and survival wishes into her, the more she can represent the will of this world.”

“If it indeed becomes impossible to change, the Saint might take action through Qin Mengyao’s hand, like Pangu opening up the heavens and the earth, recreating land, water, fire, and wind, reshaping the cosmos.”

“As for what will happen to Qin Mengyao, I don’t know. Perhaps she will achieve great merit and rank among the immortals in the future.”

“Or perhaps she will be assimilated by the Saint, becoming an embodiment of them. After all, that one is the Killing Daoist, mastering the ‘Killing Dao’. We cannot easily fathom their thoughts.”

“I won’t let it develop to that point,” Chu Xuan said firmly.

“Oh dear, my junior brother really does care about me~”

A crisp female voice sounded, causing everyone to look towards the main hall’s entrance.

There they saw a woman in a white dress, beautiful with the aura of nature’s spirit, smiling as she stepped in from the outside.

Indeed, it was Qin Mengyao who had just exited seclusion. “Today is really lively, why are there so many people here?”

Although Qin Mengyao now pretended to be the “pure senior sister”, her tone still carried a hint of nonchalance. When her eyes met Ji Mingyu’s, there was a bit more provocation in them.

As if to say: Didn’t you abandon Chu Xuan? Why have you come running back eagerly?

Ji Mingyu, having quietly followed Chu Xuan for so long, naturally knew how vile this woman’s personality was. She calmly hugged Chu Xuan’s arm, returning a provocative look.

Qin Mengyao naturally wouldn’t admit defeat. After greeting her master, she squeezed beside Chu Xuan, hugged his other arm, and asked about their discussion.

She had just arrived, only hearing the last part of the conversation.

After asking, Qin Mengyao sniffed around Chu Xuan, “Why does your scent seem different, junior brother?”

“Well, it’s a long story…” Truth be told, being tugged at by these two women in front of so many people was quite embarrassing for Chu Xuan.

He explained the previous events, leaving Qin Mengyao dumbfounded. Had her junior been dead once already?

Finally, when the topic returned to herself, Qin Mengyao nodded thoughtfully, “So that’s it, I wondered why the Seven Killing Monument was so tame—it seems I’ve been used as a tool.”

With a chuckle, she added, “No need to worry about me. I can feel the strong survival desire of those people. If the apocalypse indeed arrives, I’ll be responsible for leading them to a new world.”

Chu Xuan replied seriously, “No, you can’t do such a dangerous thing. As long as the heavenly plan succeeds, there won’t be a need for this backup plan, right?”

Jiang Wang nodded, and Jiang Yiyi also said, “Theoretically, that’s true. But we don’t know the full plan now, so there’s no way to help effectively.”

Chu Xuan thought of someone—the demon saint Yun Yan.

Previously, she mentioned praying to Lady Nuwa’s statue and casting divination, claiming there would be a good outcome and that she might help Jiang Yiyi in the future.

But now, the ancestor’s crisis has been resolved; how can Yun Yan help?

Overall, Chu Xuan decided to inquire personally, then he looked at Jiang Wang and Jiang Yiyi, “Is there a way for you to contact the heavenly court?”

Jiang Yiyi shook her head, “Unless returning there. But I’m tasked with monitoring natural disasters and can’t return right now.”

Jiang Wang replied calmly, “I’ll go back and ask. I should return anyway. Once I leave, I may not come down to the lower realms again. But if I learn the full picture of the saving plan, I’ll try to inform you all.”

Jiang Yiyi furrowed her brow in concern, “You’ll be punished, don’t go back yet.”

Chu Xuan agreed, “It’s not urgent. I’ll first inquire at Nuwa Palace, then we’ll continue discussing strategies when I return.”

Just then, a noise erupted outside, and a young disciple hurriedly reported, “Master Zhenren, many women have come to the mountain gate, saying they’re looking for Chu Xuan.”

Chu Xuan’s expression changed, while Fuyun Zi suddenly understood, “Let them in.”

Turning to look at his disciple, he said, “I informed them after you returned from the underworld, saying you’d revive and they needn’t worry.”

“They were supposed to wait at Li’an Demon Sect, but seeing this situation, they couldn’t wait and came to see you.”

Originally worrying Jiang Yiyi suddenly smiled as the ‘fun’ arrived, “How many women came altogether?”

The disciple replied nervously, “Five.”

Jiang Yiyi covered her mouth in laughter, giving Chu Xuan a teasing look, “Five~ And not counting those here. What’s your plan?”

Chu Xuan became even more embarrassed, silently counting in his heart: Gu Haitang, Qingqing, Su Mengqing, Pei Shurou, Yin He—exactly five.

Luckily, mothers-in-law or daughters didn’t come too, or he’d seem even more flamboyant in outsiders’ eyes.

Chu Xuan quickly stood, “You all continue sitting, keep drinking tea. I’ll go meet them, then immediately head to Nuwa Palace.”
