Chapter 465: 465 Chapter This has nothing to do with you (3rd Update)
 

“That’s because you’ve been in the soul state for a long time and got used to that light and ethereal feeling. Suddenly recovering, it’s natural to feel uncomfortable,” Xue An said.

“Oh! Can I still leave my body in the future?” An Qing asked.

“Of course!” Xue An nodded and added, “Anytime you want.”

“What about this giant?” An Qing pointed at the giant.

You can’t be expected to carry it around with you.

Xue An chuckled, “You can ask it to return to the Insect Race Secret Realm because you’ve absorbed the soul of the Insect Queen completely. That domain is now under your control. You can go back there anytime and can also summon this giant whenever you want!”

“Really! That’s great!” An Qing cheered and then patted the giant on the head, whispering a few instructions.

The giant nodded and instantly vanished into thin air.

The black qi in the middle of the Insect Immortal Mountain also gradually dispersed, eventually fading away.

That concluded the matter with the Insect Tribe.

It turned out that An Qing was the one who benefited the most in the end.

Not only did she gain the talent of the Insect Queen, but the most important thing was that she managed to refine her soul until it was almost tangible.

She might not understand the significance of this now, but one day she will realize the many advantages of having a strong soul.

“Sis, are you guys going to continue your honeymoon?” An Qing asked.

An Yan shook her head, “No, we won’t. It’s not fun! It’s more enjoyable to play horror games at home!”

Upon hearing this, An Qing laughed and said mysteriously, “Sis, let me tell you! If you want to experience real horror, you might as well join us on our missions. Recently, we dealt with the Thousand-Year Corpse King, a young Ghost General, and a Peerless Evil Spirit…”

“Each one is top-notch horror. I guarantee they’ll give you a thrilling chill and an atmosphere of hair-raising fear.”

An Yan’s face grew paler as she listened.

Mr. Xue couldn’t help but chuckle, blurting out, “Your sister can cry from playing games out of fear. If she really went on a mission with you… I can’t even imagine that scene!”

An Yan raised an eyebrow and coyly placed her delicate hand on Mr. Xue’s waist, softly saying, “Husband, who are you saying is a scaredy-cat?”

As she spoke, An Yan pinched a small piece of Mr. Xue’s flesh and twisted it counterclockwise.

Mr. Xue immediately grimaced and begged for mercy, “I wasn’t talking about you, Yan’er, really! I definitely wasn’t! I swear to the heavens!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.

Mr. Xue narrowed his eyes, looked up at the clear sky, and said softly, “This has nothing to do with you, stop making a scene!”

With Mr. Xue’s words, the rumbling thunder immediately stopped.

Then Mr. Xue put on a smile and said to An Yan, “See, I didn’t talk about you, did I?”

An Yan was both amused and exasperated. In truth, she hadn’t had the heart to twist hard and was only lightly chastising him. Besides, she knew that Mr. Xue wasn’t really in pain; it was all an act.

Now seeing how shameless Mr. Xue was, all she could do was scoff lightly, “You’re annoying, always playing the fool!”

“Hehe, alright, alright, Yan’er, don’t be mad!”

Their public display of affection made An Qing, who was standing by, feel uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say anything and had to look up at the sky as if nothing was wrong.

“Auntie, why are you looking at the sky?” Nian Nian asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing! Nian Nian, do you think that cloud over there looks like a piece of dog food?”

“Dog food?” Nian Nian looked puzzled and turned to look.

Then she shook her head, “It doesn’t look like it!”

“Huh? How do you know it doesn’t?”

Nian Nian’s round face showed a hint of embarrassment, “Auntie, I’ll tell you a secret, but you can’t tell anyone else, okay?”

“Mhm, mhm!”

“Because I’ve sneaked a taste before!”

An Qing’s eyes widened in shock, making Nian Nian feel embarrassed, then she finally asked, “Was it… was it tasty?”

Nian Nian paused as if she hadn’t expected her aunt to ask that, then nodded and shook her head, “It was tasty at first, but not so much after eating too much of it!”

“How much did you eat?”

“One bag!”

Xiang Xiang suspiciously watched her aunt and sister whispering to each other, wondering what they were talking about.

Those two are smiling very suspiciously!

Just at that moment,

Commander Hu hurried over in person.

“Mr. Xue!” Commander Hu said with great respect.

Xue An nodded slightly.

An Qing muttered to herself on the side.

Was this the same person who had been all smiles in front of her sister just a moment ago?

The change was just too great.

“Thank you for your help with Fire Phoenix, otherwise the people of Dianzhou might have been in great danger! I have prepared a simple toast; please honor us with your presence!”

Commander Hu, at this moment, was completely convinced, without a shred of competitive spirit against Fire Phoenix.

Especially towards Xue An.

He now felt nothing but unlimited awe.

He had personally witnessed the power of the Insect Tribe.

But he had not anticipated that upon Xue An’s arrival, in just two short days, the Insect Tribe’s stronghold would be taken down.

This meant Xue An’s strength was even more unfathomable than the rumors suggested.

People are like this.

When strengths are nearly equal, envy and other thoughts arise most easily.

But if the gap in strength is too large, all you can feel is admiration.

Xue An turned to look at the group from Fire Phoenix enjoying a lively conversation with the members of Blood Qilin and nodded.

“In that case, I shall impose upon your hospitality!”

The banquet, of course, was not as simple as Commander Hu had described. On the contrary, it was extremely lavish.

At the same time, almost all of Dianzhou’s elite were present.

People wanted to witness for themselves what this force, already regarded as the number one power in Huaxia, the Fire Phoenix, was really like.

They also wanted to meet the peerless strongman, Xue An, who could turn the clouds with the wave of a hand and bring the rain with another.

However, many were likely to be disappointed.

Because Xue An and Commander Hu, among other key figures, were not in the main hall, but had set up a lavish banquet in a separate VIP hall.

Commander Hu also very thoughtfully instructed his staff to prepare a table of children’s favorite foods and toys.

The two little girls were playing happily on the side.

An Yan and An Qing, the sisters, joined them in their playfulness.

Seeing this, Commander Hu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mr. Xue is indeed very fortunate!”

Xue An smiled slightly, saying nothing.

“Here, let me toast to you first. This is on behalf of the tens of millions of people of Dianzhou thanking you!” Commander Hu said very solemnly.

Xue An nodded, drained the cup in one go, set down the glass, and said indifferently, “Commander Hu’s hospitality is overwhelming, but do you have a favor to ask?”

“You have keen insight indeed, sir. Yes, I do have a favor to ask!”

Xue An waved his hand, “Is it about the Blood Qilin?”

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Commander Hu’s face, “Yes!”

Meanwhile, Zhang Chu lowered his head, remaining silent.

Xue An smiled faintly.

“I know what you want to say, Commander Hu, but I can only tell you that I intervened with Fire Phoenix merely on a whim, so I cannot get involved with Blood Qilin’s affairs! After all, Captain Zhang is already taking care of it!”
