"You don’t need to thank me. This cultivation technique was entrusted to me by your Demon Clan king before his death, to pass on to his outstanding descendants." The red-clothed woman glanced at the Black Feathered Chicken and said, "I see your aptitude is promising, so giving it to you is also fulfilling your king’s last wish."
While the red-clothed woman was speaking, Su Qingqing in mid-air had already come into contact with the Holy Girl Sculpture.
In a flash of light, to Chen Nan’s astonishment, Su Qingqing disappeared along with the Jade Lotus Platform.
Chen Nan looked around, shouting in panic.
"You needn’t worry; she has merged into the statue and is undergoing inheritance," the red-clothed woman explained.
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Will she be in danger?"
The red-clothed woman said, "Opportunities always accompany some risks, but since I’m here, you can rest assured she won’t suffer any mishaps."
"Thank you, Goddess," he said gratefully.
Hearing them call her "Goddess" repeatedly, the red-clothed woman furrowed her brow but didn’t say anything.
After hesitating for a moment, the red-clothed woman looked at Chen Nan and asked, "Do you know where your master, that old fool, is?"
"I really don’t know. His whereabouts are unpredictable, and he always finds me when he needs me. I can’t locate him," Chen Nan replied honestly, realizing something was off. Surprised, he asked, "Goddess, you know my master? Could it be... is he from the same era as you?"
The red-clothed woman was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That’s right, that damned old fool is over a hundred years older than me."
That damned old fool, over a hundred years older!
Whether it was this term of address or being over a hundred years older, Chen Nan was speechless.
But upon reconsideration, for people like them who have lived for thousands of years, even longer, more than a hundred years really didn’t seem much. However, the way the red-clothed woman called the old man "that damned old fool" made Chen Nan feel there must be a story behind it.
But when it came to the past of such senior figures, Chen Nan dared not ask more, and he continued to inquire, "What about the Master Jie Se? Is he from the same era as you?"
The red-clothed woman frowned, then couldn’t help but curse, "Shameless stinky monk, talking about abstinence. I abstain from his sister’s lust!"
"This..." Chen Nan was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, this Goddess, who had always been tranquil and calm, upon mentioning these two exceptional figures, Xuan Tianji and Master Jie Se, actually burst out with curses one after another.
After seeing the red-clothed woman calm down, Chen Nan continued to ask, "Right, when I saw outside your Underwater Cave Mansion, countless white bones were piled in the Underground Lake, what exactly happened in your era?"
"These are not things you should know."
The red-clothed woman was silent for a moment, then continued, "When your cultivation reaches a realm like mine, some things will naturally become clear to you."
"How many years away is that!" Chen Nan couldn’t help but complain.
The red-clothed woman didn’t respond. After a full two minutes, she leisurely said, "You’d better work hard on your cultivation, or your junior sister will surely be tortured to death by the Poison Fire."
This issue, Xuan Tianji had mentioned to Chen Nan more than once.
Chen Nan nodded and then asked, "Back then, the Ice and Fire Qilin Beast on Fire Qilin Mountain could be slain by my junior sister, indicating it wasn’t very powerful. But why is this Qilin Poison Fire, making even experts like you and my master helpless?"
[Have to go out, this Chapter is shorter, but the cost is also only half of usual, as it’s charged by word count, just to clarify.]
