Chapter 1053 Immortality and Eternity
Hearing these words, Si Xiaonan’s body trembled slightly.
She looked at Lin Qiye’s sincere eyes, and a warmth rose in her heart.
The first thing Lin Qiye said when he saw her was “What exactly happened here?” rather than “What have you done?” This meant that deep down, he didn’t believe she was responsible for these things…
He trusted her.
Si Xiaonan’s lips pressed together slightly, just as she was about to say something, a voice floated to her ears.
“First steal the Kunlun treasure, and if there’s a chance, kill that young man.”
Si Xiaonan’s heart immediately sank.
Loki could see this place.
In a flash, countless thoughts crossed Si Xiaonan’s mind as she quickly assessed the current situation.
She didn’t answer, only giving Lin Qiye a complex look before turning around with her sword and rushing toward the two medicine jars in the depths of the Dan Palace!
Loki was nearby, and now was not the time to reminisce with Lin Qiye. Some things absolutely could not be said at this moment.
Loki wanted her to kill Lin Qiye, so she had to fight him. If Lin Qiye knew the whole truth and chose not to stop her, or even actively helped her, then in the eyes of Loki, the suspicious God of Mischief, her identity as a traitor would be confirmed.
This way, whether she could bring back the Kunlun treasure or not, both she and Cold Xuan would be doomed. Loki would never allow two traitors to live in this world.
Moreover, with Loki’s power, he couldn’t hold off the Queen Mother of the West’s avatar for too long. Once Loki retreated, she would have no chance of taking the Kunlun treasure from under the Queen Mother’s nose. If she couldn’t bring back the Kunlun treasure, she would lose her value to Loki, and rather than let Si Xiaonan and Cold Xuan fall into the hands of the Great Xia gods, he would definitely use the soul contract to eliminate them first.
She had to leave with the Kunlun treasure before Loki completely failed. Only then could she and Cold Xuan survive.
Of course… what exactly the so-called “Kunlun treasure” was would be up to her to decide.
A gleam flashed in Si Xiaonan’s eyes.
Seeing that Si Xiaonan didn’t answer but instead turned to rush toward the two medicine jars in the depths of the Dan Palace, Lin Qiye’s heart skipped a beat.
He had to admit that at this moment, his trust in Si Xiaonan wavered.
Just as Lin Qiye was hesitating whether to move against Si Xiaonan, the unconscious maid in the yellow dress struggled to open her eyes. Seeing Lin Qiye standing at the entrance of the hall, she grabbed at this lifeline and shouted:
“Immortal Lin! Don’t let her take the Immortality Pill! It’s a Great Xia treasure that absolutely cannot fall into the hands of foreign gods!”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s mind shook. He gritted his teeth and his form transformed into a shadow of night, disappearing from where he stood.
[Night Flicker].
Whether he believed Si Xiaonan or not, since this was a Great Xia treasure, he absolutely could not allow Si Xiaonan to take it.
In the depths of the Dan Palace, Si Xiaonan’s form moved like a beam of light, flying directly toward the black and white medicine jars suspended in the air. She reached out her hand, hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Which of these two jars contained the Immortality Pill?
Forget it, she would take them both!
Just as Si Xiaonan’s fingertips were about to touch the black jar, a sharp blade light slashed out from nothingness, precisely targeting her outstretched hand. Her eyes narrowed as she quickly withdrew her hand and stepped back.
The blade light returned to its sheath, and a figure wearing a deep red cloak emerged from the night.
“Xiaonan, you cannot take this.”
Lin Qiye said with a frown, his right hand gripping the hilt of [White Slash].
Si Xiaonan looked into Lin Qiye’s eyes, bit her lip, and a black light flashed from her palm. The next moment, her form transformed into a raven, flapping its wings and flying toward the main door of the Dan Palace.
A black feather floated in front of Lin Qiye. As he frowned, watching the raven fly out of the hall, he suddenly realized something and turned sharply to look behind him.
Somehow, Si Xiaonan had already appeared next to the black medicine jar, grabbing it firmly, and was now rapidly flying toward the white jar!
A visual “trick”?
Lin Qiye thought of the black raven that had just flown out of the hall and his heart sank. He had almost forgotten that Si Xiaonan was the proxy of the God of Mischief.
Without any hesitation, Lin Qiye again drew [White Slash] from his waist, but this time he didn’t slash at Si Xiaonan’s hand. Instead, he used the blade light to ignore space itself, tapping the bottom of the white jar.
Ding—!
With a crisp sound, the white medicine jar was flicked upward by the blade light, flying rapidly into the sky.
Si Xiaonan’s hand grasped at empty air.
She was momentarily stunned, then looked up at the spinning jar in the sky and launched herself upward!
But before she could fly very high, a huge white bear emerged from nothingness, its powerful body crashing directly into Si Xiaonan. Its arms wrapped around her, firmly restraining her.
Si Xiaonan hadn’t expected a white bear to jump out of the void. Caught off guard, she was grabbed by the void white bear and fell toward the ground.
She stared at the spinning white jar in the sky as streams of black light poured from her body, rapidly weaving a “trick.”
At that moment, a deep red figure flew up into the sky and steadily caught the falling white jar.
Was this the Kunlun treasure?
Lin Qiye held the white jar and shook it gently, suddenly freezing in place.
He looked down at the jar in his hand in astonishment, opened the lid, and discovered that the jar was completely empty, without a single pill inside.
This jar was empty?
Lin Qiye’s gaze moved along the jar’s body, finally stopping at the bottom, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At the bottom of the white jar, three ancient characters were engraved in cinnabar:
—Immortality Pill.
At the same time, the black light surrounding Si Xiaonan, who was being held by the void white bear and about to crash to the ground, finally completed its weaving.
Boom—!!
With a tremendous sound, the void white bear’s form crashed to the ground, cracking the floor of the Dan Palace with fine fissures. Dust billowed up, but Si Xiaonan was nowhere to be seen.
The next moment, Si Xiaonan stood in mid-air, dressed in black.
Her left hand held a black medicine jar, and her right hand held the white one.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed, and he looked down at his own palm again. Somehow, the white jar he had caught had been transferred to Si Xiaonan’s hand.
A “trick” that altered reality?
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly.
The “trick” Si Xiaonan had just woven directly changed established facts. In the new history, she hadn’t been tackled by the void white bear and hadn’t fallen, so she naturally got to the white jar before Lin Qiye.
The moment Si Xiaonan grasped the white jar, she was also startled.
“Empty?”
She noticed the weight difference between the black and white jars. The black jar was obviously heavier than the white one, and when shaken, she could hear a pill rolling around inside.
She lifted the bottom of the black jar, where three large characters were similarly engraved in cinnabar:
—Eternal Life Pill.
