Mu Qihan was dressed in white, gently waving a folding fan. He stood there gracefully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a faint smile on his face as he explained to his attendant.
"The Secret Realm of the Soul - Severing Sea is said to be the place where a great power met his end. After his death, he used all his life's power to create a space within the Soul - Severing Sea and put all his accumulated treasures inside. Fifty years ago, a earth - shattering battle took place on the Soul - Severing Sea, which blew out this secret realm. Its entrance opened, and this mysterious space finally appeared in front of the world."
The attendant looked a bit confused. "My lord, I only know that the Soul - Severing Sea passes through the Snow God Mountain, separating the Holy Light Empire from the Five Cities. The sea area is vast and boundless, and pirates are rampant. But where exactly is this secret realm hidden? And why does it open once every ten years?"
It seemed too much of a coincidence. It was more like a man - made arrangement.
Hearing this, Mu Qihan snapped his folding fan shut. Before he could say anything, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Of course, it's because someone has hidden it!"
Mu Qihan turned around and saw a woman in a red tight - fitting outfit. There was a white long sword hanging from her waist, and her hair was tied up high. Her fox - like eyes were slightly slanted. Who else could it be but the one who had stopped him in the teahouse that day?
Nan Chaoyu folded her arms and took a few steps forward. While answering the attendant's question, her eyes were fixed on the young man in white.
"My lord is well - informed. I'm impressed."
Mu Qihan frowned slightly, coughed gently, and nodded slightly at Nan Chaoyu. "Your Highness, the Grand Princess."
"My lord, you're being too polite. I'm not a princess here. I'm just Nan Chaoyu. You can call me by my name directly."
The more Nan Chaoyu looked at Mu Qihan, the more good - looking he seemed. She couldn't help but say, "If you don't mind, you can call me Chaoyu. Of course, calling me Yu'er is also fine."
"Cough, cough." Mu Qihan almost choked on his own saliva. For a moment, he felt like he had been flirted with.
But seeing the other person with a serious face, he thought this feeling was rather absurd.
So he said, "I'd better call you Miss Nan."
Mu Qihan steadied his mind and returned to his cold and aloof appearance. "Miss Nan is right. The Secret Realm of the Soul - Severing Sea opens once every ten years, and it is indeed man - made."
"Back then, people rushed into the secret realm one after another, almost causing it to collapse. Later, the Holy Light Empire invited a master from the Snow God Mountain to set up a great formation. This formation can accurately locate the Secret Realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea and make it appear once every ten years. As long as the number of people entering it is controlled, the secret realm will be fine. And now, it's the fifth time the Secret Realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea has appeared."
"My lord speaks so well!"
As soon as Mu Qihan finished speaking, applause rang out. He turned his head and saw Nan Chaoyu looking at him with admiration.
For a moment, he couldn't find anything to refute.
The three people behind Nan Chaoyu saw their master looking like a fangirl and stepped back in unison, keeping a distance from her.
It was so embarrassing!
But Nan Chaoyu didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she took two steps forward.
Mu Qihan instinctively snapped open his folding fan and looked at Nan Chaoyu. "Miss Nan, do you have something to say?"
"The Soul - Devouring Bone Fan." Nan Chaoyu's eyes lit up when she saw the fan blocking her. She reached out and poked it, praising, "My lord is good - looking, and even your weapon is so rare. It matches you well."
Hearing this, the attendant got angry. He stepped in front of Nan Chaoyu, blocking her view, and glared at her. "Your Highness, my lord is like an immortal. Comparing this Soul - Devouring Bone Fan to my lord is an insult."
Nan Chaoyu wasn't angry when her view was blocked. She rolled her eyes and said, "Young man, you're wrong. The Soul - Devouring Bone Fan is a divine weapon that all cultivators dream of. Your lord must be the dream lover of many young girls. How can they not match?"
"..." The attendant was stunned. He felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Mu Qihan tapped the attendant's shoulder. "Xiaotian, Miss Nan means no harm. You don't have to be like this." Then he bowed to Nan Chaoyu. "Miss Nan, Xiaotian is outspoken. Please forgive his rudeness."
Polite and well - behaved!
Nan Chaoyu felt that the man in front of her was like a slippery fish. She wanted to take a bite but didn't know where to start.
He wasn't like this before!
How could a memory loss change his personality so much?
Seeing Mu Qihan speak, Xiaotian had to apologize to Nan Chaoyu. Then he turned around and pestered Mu Qihan again. "My lord, the great formation is completed. Where is this formation?"
Hearing this question, a sly smile flashed in Mu Qihan's eyes. It was very faint, but Nan Chaoyu, who had been staring at him, caught it accurately.
This smile was so familiar!
This was the smile that belonged to the former Mu Qihan, the kind of mischievous smile hiding behind people.
At this moment, Nan Chaoyu was sure that this well - behaved man in front of her was definitely Mu Qihan.
Xiaotian didn't know what his lord was thinking and was waiting for an answer.
Mu Qihan seemed to be teasing him and answered slowly, "In the pirate's lair!"
"Ah?" Xiaotian widened his eyes and looked at Mu Qihan in disbelief. "Really?"
Mu Qihan nodded and maliciously didn't continue, leaving Xiaotian extremely curious.
"It's true. Your lord didn't lie to you. At first, there were no pirates on the Soul - Devouring Sea. For the sake of fairness, the place controlling the great formation was placed deep in the Soul - Devouring Sea. But unexpectedly, pirates became rampant later. In recent years, a master - level figure appeared and ruled the entire Soul - Devouring Sea area. Naturally, he also occupied this formation."
Xiaotian was stunned. He smacked his lips and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Mu Qihan thought that this princess of the Holy Light Empire was really annoying.
Just as he looked up, he met Nan Chaoyu's gaze. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised. This provocative action on others seemed different on her, extremely alluring!
Mu Qihan shifted his gaze uncomfortably and called out, "Xiaotian!"
But he was slower than Ling Chuyu. "Young man, do you want to know why the Secret Realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea will appear in Dream Sea City this year?"
As soon as these words were said, Xiaotian immediately turned around and looked at Nan Chaoyu with eager eyes. "Why?"
Even Mu Qihan looked over with a probing look on his face.
He had always been curious. Dream Sea City was the closest place to the Holy Light Empire and the farthest from the great formation. According to the law of the formation, it would take about twenty or thirty years for it to reach here.
So why did the Secret Realm of the Soul - Devouring Sea come to Dream Sea City this time?
Seeing that she had successfully piqued Mu Qihan's curiosity, Nan Chaoyu smiled proudly and said, "My lord, promise me one thing, and I'll tell you!"
