Chapter 519 Someone Will Come Looking for Me
"Are you really staying in the War Puppet Mansion to handle the affairs of the Myriad Crafts Workshop?"
Xue Tong sat on a pile of spirit stones that looked like a small mountain, watching Xue Lan stuffing spirit stones into her sleeves at the foot of the mountain.
"Of course!" Xue Lan said without batting an eye, picking up high-quality spirit stones and stuffing them into her sleeve.
"Lord Wolf King, ever since Junjun left here, you have been consistently stuffing spirit stones into your sleeves for two hours."
The girl spoke with exasperation:
"Could you tone it down a little? You're making the wolf family lose face."
Then Xue Tong saw Xue Lan turn into a ball of black mist, slowly wriggling on the pile of spirit stones, and the light of the spirit stones dimmed wherever she passed.
The girl simply couldn't take it anymore!
Xue Lan was lifted up by Xue Tong by the collar. The woman was holding a large handful of spirit stones in her hand, and the invisible ears on her head were standing up.
"Is this the new era of burying your head in the sand?" Xue Tong said through gritted teeth, her anger simmering over Xue Lan.
Xue Lan reached in and grabbed two more handfuls of spirit stones, stuffing them into her sleeve. Then, she smiled and said:
"Xiaotong, are you in a little hurry?"
The girl abruptly tossed Xue Lan onto the pile of spirit stones, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:
"Who's in a hurry? With the Wolf King, who has the best strategy, here, why should I be in a hurry!"
Xue Lan lay on top of the pile of spirit stones, laughing uncontrollably:
"You look like you're in a hurry."
Xue Tong started piling spirit stones on Xue Lan: "You're spouting nonsense, I'm going to bury you!"
Xue Lan lay very still, her lips slowly drooping.
The woman let Xue Tong bury her, and as her lower body was covered by spirit stones, she spoke softly:
"Xiaotong, don't rush."
The woman's voice was clear and gentle, like a stream flowing gently through the mountains on a moonlit night.
"In my previous life, I was very impatient. I always thought that I could just keep getting stronger and I was always looking for a way to completely drive out the demons once and for all."
"But things didn't turn out well later."
Xue Tong stopped what she was doing, took a peach from her storage bag, and put it into Xue Lan's mouth:
What do you mean by "not having a good ending"?
"Shut up and eat your peach."
Xue Lan chuckled, holding the peach: "I'm not talking about it anymore!"
"To put you in a less anxious state, I've decided to tell you about my plans for the future."
Xue Lan sat up, her lower body still buried in the spirit stone, holding a plump, juicy peach in her hand:
"I plan to stay at the War Puppet Mansion for a while, mainly for two reasons."
"Firstly, there are the disciples of Wan Gong Fang. Newly accepted disciples need to be arranged to become apprentices and learn what they are supposed to learn. Among them, those with health problems, such as Xiao Sheng and Yuan Zhen, still need my care. At the very least, they should stay until they are all better before leaving."
"The second issue is the smelting furnace in the casting industry. We have gathered enough materials, and the blueprints from the masters have been revised again and again. It's time to do some sample testing."
"A test?" Xue Tong interrupted the woman's narration:
"You're not going to tear off a piece of your soul and burn it, are you?"
"I'm not stupid!"
Xue Lan spoke in an annoyed tone:
"It's just a sample test. I still have some magic souls here, so I'll use them to burn for now."
Xue Tong felt relieved, and the girl sighed:
"Now that you mention it, you seem quite busy."
The girl stood up from the pile of spirit stones and reached out her hand to Xue Lan:
"Get up, it's time to get to work."
"it is good!"
Xue Lan grabbed Xue Tong's hand and stood up, then flung two spiders and a materials list out of her sleeve:
"I'll go to Wan Gong Fang and take a look. You take the two of them and find the materials on the list. If they're not there, go to the mine to get them."
Xue Tong took the order and glanced at it briefly:
"What are you going to do again?"
Xue Lan smiled gently at the girl:
"I promised to give the new little girl I recruited at Wan Gong Fang a pink hammer."
Xue Tong was speechless.
Xue Lan's idea is sometimes really ahead of its time.
Xue Lan took the Wan Gong Fang from her sleeve and transformed into a blurry black shadow, disappearing into it.
Wan Gong Fang, Cang Jian Shan.
Xue Lan landed on the boulder atop the mountain like a graceful stork. The inner demon emerged from her body, its tone tinged with a hint of mockery:
"Lord Wolf King never finishes his sentence."
A woman in white with white hair stood beside Xue Lan, her icy blue eyes as pure as a ten-thousand-year-old glacier.
Xue Lan smiled gently:
"How come I didn't know I had something left to say?"
The inner demon silently took a few steps away from Xue Lan, only speaking when he was in a place where Xue Lan wouldn't arbitrarily sever his head:
"You're staying at the War Puppet Mansion, are you waiting for someone?"
Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh as she watched the inner demon's actions. The woman, sitting atop the boulder behind her, spoke:
"Then tell me, who am I waiting for?"
The inner demon spoke in a deep voice:
"It's either Fusang or the person behind Weihe."
Xue Lan clapped her hands: "As expected of my inner demon, you're so clever."
The inner demon has a feeling of being praised but feeling very uncomfortable.
A gentle breeze swept across the distant mountains, lifting a strand of Xue Lan's black hair.
Xue Lan's voice carried a hint of madness:
"Since you're so clever, why don't you try to guess who's behind my grandmaster?"
The inner demon lowered its eyes slightly:
"The intricate planning and precise grasp of cause and effect of the chess player... I can only think of one person..."
"Wait!" Xue Lan raised her hand to interrupt her inner demons.
Let's say it together!
"The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"Master Quanheng".
Two similar voices rang out at the same time, both pointing to the same person.
Xue Lan's greyish-white eyes sparkled:
"From the prophecy given by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the Upper Realm that there would be great opportunities in the Lower Realm, to the fact that Fusang delivered my demon body to the Third Prince of the Demon Clan."
"All of this is probably just a game of chess between two seniors."
Xue Lan's laughter was hearty and cheerful:
"One is an ancient demon lord who has existed since the birth of the Yuanming Realm, and the other is a Dao Venerable who claims to have severed all cause and effect and calculated all the affairs of the world. They used the beings of the Yuanming Realm as chess pieces and played a grand game of chess."
Xue Lan slowly stood up from the boulder:
"I'm starting to like who I am now."
"In his past life, he committed suicide in the upper realm; in this life, he toils in the lower realm."
"In my past life I was a demon. In this life I am a human."
“The demons of the past have given rise to the divine heart now.”
Xue Lan stared at her inner demon with her pale gray eyes, her tone frantic.
"Tell me, is there anyone in this world more suitable to join their game than me?"
Who is more suitable than her to break the stalemate between those two seniors that has lasted for who knows how long!
"Don't worry!"
Xue Lan's figure disappeared at the top of Hidden Sword Mountain:
"I believe that someone will come looking for me soon."
A gentle breeze rippled atop Hidden Sword Mountain. The Inner Demon stood motionless, letting the lively breeze play with her long, silvery-white hair.
"Now, keep your mind focused..." the woman chuckled softly.
"You are so brave!"
After saying this, the inner demon disappeared from the mountaintop.
