Chaos God's Nest

"Alright! Shameless it is! At least we haven't run into him yet! Now that things have come to this, let's talk about serious matters first!" Seeing everyone chatting away and getting more and more excited, Yan Xiaohuang interrupted.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shu frowned and then asked, "Is it serious business? Is it about going to the Immortal Sect tomorrow?"

“Yes!” Yan Xiaohuang nodded in response.

Then, he turned to look at Ku Qiuhai beside him and asked, "Speaking of which, we plan to set off for the Immortal Sect tomorrow. I wonder if Brother Ku would like to come with us?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Qiuhai nodded and replied, "That's possible, but right now I only have a fragment of a Celestial Key, which can at most protect two of you to enter the Celestial Sect! In that case, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Ku Qiuhai's face also showed an embarrassed expression.

"Hahaha!"

In response, Yan Xiaohuang suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, and everyone else present also smiled.

Seeing this, Ku Qiuhai was also taken aback, and then asked in confusion, "Brother Yuan, why are you laughing?"

"Hehe, Brother Ku, you're thinking too simply! Just think about it, if we didn't have enough fragments of the Immortal Key, how could we dare to claim that we could enter the Immortal Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Qiuhai was startled, and then said, "Oh? You mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xiaohuang smiled slightly and then slowly opened his palm in front of everyone. The next moment, a jade box the size of a palm appeared in his palm.

"This is... a fragment of the Immortal Key?" Ku Qiuhai exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it.

"Want to guess how many are inside?" Yan Xiaohuang said with a smile.

"hiss!"

Ku Qiuhai gasped. If Yan Xiaohuang could say that, it meant there must be several fragments of the Immortal Key inside the box, at least three! Therefore, thinking this, he tentatively asked, "Three...three?"

"Hehe, that's too few!" Yan Xiaohuang replied with a smile, and then slowly opened the jade box. The next moment, six fragments of the Immortal Key were placed horizontally in the box.

"Holy crap!" Upon seeing this, Ku Qiuhai immediately exclaimed, "How can there be so many? You didn't rob all the geniuses on the Immortal Path, did you? Are you a bandit?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohuang feigned a dark expression and replied, "How do I look like a bandit to you?"

"So, you didn't steal it?" Ku Qiuhai asked again upon hearing this.

"Um... I guess you could say I found this place through my own abilities! Miao Xian, you agree, right?" Yan Xiaohuang smiled awkwardly, then looked up and asked Xia Miao Xian across the campfire.

Hearing this, Xia Miaoxian was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Yan Xiaohuang and replied, "Whatever you say!"

"Oh my god? What are you saying? What are you saying? What do you mean by 'it's true just because you say so'? Everyone, don't believe her! She's just slandering me! Defaming me!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Haha! Alright, Brother Yuan, just tell me honestly! Where did you get these six Immortal Key fragments from?" Mu Xin asked with a smile.

"Hehe! Do you know the Four Chaotic Sects? Speaking of which, I should say I snatched this from them!" Yan Xiaohuang chuckled, finally revealing the truth.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Kong Jie, Mu Xin, and the others' expressions turned strange, and they all turned to look at Xia Miaoxian not far away.

If I remember correctly, Xia Miaoxian should be from one of the Four Chaotic Sects, right? And she's the Holy Maiden of the Jade Profound Sect! If that's the case, why would she be traveling with Yan Xiaohuang and the others? This...this seems a bit illogical, doesn't it?

"Holy crap! Could it be that Brother Yuan's charm is too strong! He has won over the heart of the Holy Maiden of the Jade Profound Sect and successfully turned her against him?" Kong Jie started speculating wildly again, his mouth agape in surprise.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xin, standing next to Kong Jie, also gasped, and echoed with a similar look of astonishment, "You know what! You really can't believe it! It's actually possible!"

Hearing their conversation, Xia Miaoxian, who was not far away, could no longer sit still. Her pretty face turned red, and she said with a mixture of shame and anger, "What...what nonsense are you two spouting?!"

On the other side, Yan Xiaohuang also stepped forward upon seeing this, glared at Kong Jie and the other two, and immediately scolded, "You two, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouths!"

"Hehe! We're just guessing! Don't be angry, Brother Yuan!" Kong Jie quickly replied with a grin.

"Go away! All you do all day is spout nonsense and act all high and mighty! It's a good thing the Holy Maiden is here today, otherwise who knows what kind of nonsense you would have made up!" Yan Xiaohuang said irritably.

Then, he hurriedly clasped his hands in a salute to Xia Miaoxian and said, "I'm sorry, fairy! My brother here has always been outspoken! He just drank quite a bit today, and his rambling was unintentional! Please don't take it to heart! Just consider it as... just consider it as him farting!"

As he spoke, Yan Xiaohuang glared at Kong Jie and Mu Xin not far away and gave them a wink.

Seeing this, Kong Jie was the first to react. He immediately clasped his hands in a salute to Xia Miaoxian, and then said apologetically, "Ah, yes, yes! Brother Yuan is right! You see, I'm really something else. I've had a few drinks and I've lost my bearings. Please don't take what I said to heart, Fairy. Just consider it as me farting! Hehe!"

"I feel the same way! I hope you won't take offense, Fairy!" Mu Xin, standing next to Kong Jie, also clasped his hands in a fist and said.

Seeing how sincere their apologies were, Xia Miaoxian naturally wouldn't hold a grudge. Her expression finally improved considerably, and she replied, "Well... it's alright! Just be more careful next time!"

After saying that, she quickly sat down, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

On the other side, seeing that Xia Miaoxian had forgiven them, Kong Jie and Mu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down together with a sense of relief.

Thus, Yan Xiaohuang managed to let this unexpected little incident pass by, and the atmosphere in the room returned to normal, becoming lively again.

But despite the excitement, it didn't mean everyone was indifferent. Sure enough, one person was clearly unhappy, and that person was none other than Gu Qinghan.

She appeared to be taking a sip of her drink, but secretly she was staring intently at Xia Miaoxian not far away, her suspicion evident in her eyes.

In addition, there was Yao Shu beside Xia Miaoxian, who naturally became her main focus of attention. It was her sixth sense as a woman that was driving her, and she had to do this!

After all, both women were stunningly beautiful, and their cultivation and talent were in no way inferior to hers. If they were to set their minds to something, she wasn't sure she could handle them on her own.

It can only be said that Kong Jie's unintentional remark just now indirectly reminded her that she should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Yan Xiaohuang.

Although she didn't care how many women Yan Xiaohuang would have around him in the future, there was one bottom line she had to stick to: he had to have a place for himself in his heart, and that was unshakeable!

At the same time, Yan Xiaohuang was naturally unaware of what Gu Qinghan was thinking. Upon seeing the strange look in the other's eyes, he was also taken aback and asked, "What's wrong, Qinghan? Are you feeling unwell?"
