As the Universe Turns - Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Secret Hall
For the next seven days, no matter how much Fengman Attic played, Xiao Chen kept himself locked up in his room, drinking alone, waking up drunk, drunk and waking up, dazed all day, half drunk and half awake.

In the short span of seven days, he actually looked much older. His eyes were gloomy, and his mouth had a green beard. He was drunk on the edge of the bed, and there were a few empty wine jars under his feet.

“Dong, dong, dong …”

There was a gentle knock on the door. Xiao Chen opened his eyes slightly, too lazy to pay attention. He casually grabbed the quilt and covered his face, pretending that he didn’t hear it.

“Dong, dong, dong!”

The knocking on the door outside gradually became a little anxious. Xiao Chen impatiently removed the quilt, “Who is it? Are you bored?”

“It’s me.”

Lady Rakshasa’s voice sounded from outside. Xiao Chen opened his eyes slightly and looked outside. He still ignored it. He casually picked up the empty wine jar beside him and poured it into his mouth. Only a few drops of wine dripped down the edge of the jar.

This scene happened to be seen by Lady Rakshasa, who pushed open the door and entered.

Looking at the empty wine jars scattered all over the room, looking at the mess, looking at the drunken and dreamy man, at this moment, Lady Rakshasa was stunned. She did not know what kind of expression flashed in her eyes.

She quickly walked over and forcefully snatched the empty wine jar from Xiao Chen’s hand. She threw it to the side and smashed it into pieces.

“What are you doing?”

Xiao Chen looked at her impatiently.

“What are you doing? Look at your current appearance. People don’t look like people, ghosts don’t look like ghosts!”

Lady Rakshasa glared at the man in front of him. He seemed to be angry but not angry. He recalled the day of the Calming Wind Gathering and the night he fled. It was as if he had the man by his side. He actually felt a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time.

In these past few days, she had naturally heard Yaoji talk about Xiao Chen’s situation. However, she had never expected that in just seven days, this person in front of her had actually become so dejected, completely different from him that night.

Of course, she did not know what kind of pain this man had experienced in the past seven days. He was always in that kind of pain, walking barefoot in the sea of blades, mountains, and fires.

“It’s none of your business.”

Xiao Chen moved his body and was about to pick up another wine jar. Lady Rakshasa frowned and said, “You!” He raised his palm and wanted to wake him up with a slap. However, this slap still stopped beside his cheek.

Xiao Chen slightly opened his eyes and said impatiently, “Who are you? I have already brought back the things you want. Why do you care about me?”

Lady Rakshasa couldn’t help but be stunned. Yes, I don’t care what he does. He is alive or dead, he is Ling Yun’s lofty ambition, he is drunk and dreamy. What does this have to do with her? It was just a chance encounter.

“Get up!”

‘”Xiao Chen, if you want revenge, if you want Hua Weiyang back, you should think about how to make yourself stronger instead of getting drunk here all day long! You’re too bad!” She said sternly.

“Haha …”

Xiao Chen smiled powerlessly and staggered towards the windowsill. He looked at the fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard and smiled bitterly, “Revenge … Now, who should I seek revenge on …”

“That, the person who laid out the plan …”

Lady Rakshasa stood behind him and said with concentration.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes. It was as if the saber light and sword shadows of that day had appeared in his mind. There was also the sound of slaughter and Wei Yang. Where was Wei Yang now? Was she alive or dead?

‘”I’ll give you three days. Come and find me three nights later. I’ll recondense your Nascent Soul for you. If that’s the case, then I’m sorry. You’ll be drunk for the rest of your life. You don’t need to take revenge. Hua Weiyang, you don’t need to look for her anymore. I guess she doesn’t want to see someone in such a sorry state.”

Lady Rakshasa coldly finished her last sentence and left with her sleeves.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly raised his palm. He looked at the faint strand of death energy in his palm. I must find out what the truth is …

…

Three days later, a crescent moon hung in the sky. Xiao Chen came to the palace in Lady Rakshasa. The fragrance floated everywhere. When Lady Rakshasa saw that he had returned to that ice-cold appearance, she knew that he had recovered in these three days. She smiled and said, “You’re here.”

Xiao Chen slowly walked forward and slowly removed the battle robe hat from his head. His tone was still as cold as before, “How long will it take?”

“It can be as short as half a month, but it can be as long as a few years …”

Lady Rakshasa slowly walked out from behind the veil until she reached him. Her fingers gently slid from his left chest to his dantian before she slowly said, “Anyway, I’ll find out after I give it a try.”

Xiao Chen looked at her and asked, “How is Yi Wuji?”

Of course, he wasn’t concerned about the matters between the three great powers. No matter what, the three great powers had nothing to do with him. It was just that he didn’t want to be disturbed during this period of recondensing the Nascent Soul.

Lady Rakshasa smiled and looked at him. “Don’t worry, he doesn’t dare to make trouble in Fengman Attic.”

The relationship between the three forces had always been delicate, but no matter what, the leader of one side would never dare to go to the other’s territory.

The reason for that was because there were powerful restriction formations in the places where the three forces were located. For example, the Limitless Palace’s Limitless Formation and Fengman Attic’s Limitless Formation were similarly placed. No matter how high Yi Wuji’s cultivation was, he would never be able to obtain anything good from them.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen stopped asking. “Follow me,” Lady Rakshasa said.

Moments later, the two left the palace and walked behind. After about an incense stick, they arrived in front of a secret palace. Yaoji and another female Qinji were guarding the entrance of the palace. Seeing the two arrive, they immediately cupped their hands and paid their respects, “Lord of the building.”

“Mm …”

Lady Rakshasa nodded slightly and said, “During this period, I want to restore Childe Xiao’s strength. No one is allowed to disturb me. If there is anything, you can discuss it with Minister Yue.”

“Yes.”

Yaoji and Qinji cupped their hands.

“Yes.”

Lady Rakshasa nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Chen beside her, “Let’s go.”

This secret hall was where Lady Rakshasa cultivated in seclusion. Not only were there layers of restrictions outside, there were also layers of restrictions inside. Even Yaoji and the others found it difficult to enter.

When they reached the secret hall, they saw the candlelight and the sound of drops of water coming from inside. The deeper they walked, the denser the spiritual energy became. They passed through a few dimly lit passageways and arrived at the innermost stone cave. The scene before them suddenly became clear.

There were more than a dozen spirit pools, large and small, inside the cave. The spirit pools were sparkling with green waves, like amber, embedded within the cave. They were all formed from spiritual energy.

Xiao Chen did not expect that there would be such a blessed place in Fengman Attic. However, this was Lady Rakshasa’s secluded cultivation ground, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. At this moment, there were only herself and her in the room. For some reason, she still felt that it was a little strange.

Lady Rakshasa smiled and said, “Young Master, please take off your battle robe and go to the spirit pool in the center. I will cast a spell for you later.”

Xiao Chen glanced at her and didn’t think too much about it. He removed the battle robe from his body and slowly walked towards the pool. “You can’t use all the barriers when casting spells. Remove your jacket as well,” said Lady Rakshasa.

Xiao Chen furrowed his brows and looked at her again. Without asking further, he took off his coat and entered the pond. As soon as he entered the pond, his entire body immediately felt an indescribable sense of comfort. It was as if the strands of spiritual energy had gathered into his body on its own.

Why did this spiritual energy gather in his body? He felt a little strange.

Apparently, Lady Rakshasa had also noticed something unusual. Strands of water began to slowly revolve around Xiao Chen in the pool. This was the first time she had seen such a strange phenomenon.
