Chapter 1039

In the great hall, Yang Kai had great difficulty in taking steps, the pressure was like a mountain, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His whole body’s muscles kept spasming and wriggling to resist the pressure coming from all directions, and he couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

This woman Xue Yue has always been high and mighty, and no one dares to be disrespectful to her. Obviously, she doesn’t know what it means to speak carelessly and cause trouble, resulting in me who followed her also being implicated.

Feeling the deliberately released aura of Halika, a hidden cold light flashed in Xue Yue’s beautiful eyes. On her waist, a jade pendant shone with radiance, and strangely shaped strange beasts suddenly galloped out from it. These strange beasts roared and galloped silently forming a circle of soul defense field outside Xue Yue’s body, blocking Halika’s impact.

Ripples spread one after another, as if there was a sound of something breaking. Xue Yue’s originally difficult steps suddenly became easier, and with her head slightly raised, she walked forward briskly.

Even Yang Kai, who was originally unable to move, no longer had the kind of pressure just now.

It seems that under the defense circle composed of those strange beasts, the momentum of the branch president Halika was instantly disintegrated and disappeared without a trace.

Yang Kai suddenly became extremely relaxed. He couldn’t help but look at Xue Yue’s slender waist and secretly thought that after all, she is the descendant of the president of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, and all the secret treasures she wears are of extremely high grade！

Void-level soul secret treasure？” Halika, who was sitting upright on the chair and looking coldly over here, couldn’t help but change slightly in color. The released momentum was suddenly withdrawn, and a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face.”

Not just anyone can possess a soul secret treasure of this grade. Halika immediately saw that Xueyue seemed to have an extraordinary background. Before figuring out Xueyue’s identity and purpose, he didn’t dare to be as presumptuous as before.

He glanced at Yang Kai again, not taking him to heart, and then turned to ask Xueyue, “What’s the girl’s name？”

Xueyue smiled sweetly and said, “Xue’er.”

The corner of Yang Kai’s mouth couldn’t help twitching. He stood not far behind her without a sound, making a gesture of a bodyguard.

“Miss Xue’er…” Halika nodded slightly. “Then may I ask what’s the matter with you？”

Xueyue didn’t answer. She directly took out the token from before and handed it over.

Halika took it.His complexion changed, and he finally stood up from the chair and bowed and said “So it turns out to be someone from Young Master Xueyue. Forgive me, Miss Xue’er. This old man is blind and didn’t recognize you just now. Please don’t blame me!

As he spoke, he respectfully handed the token back.

“The branch president is too polite.” Xueyue took it casually, looked around, and walked straight to a chair beside and sat down.

Halika stood there with a suspicious and puzzled expression. After pondering for a while, he asked, “Miss Xue’er, when will Young Master Xueyue come？”

“He can’t come.” Xueyue said with a smile. “He has something to deal with and doesn’t have time for the time being.”

“Young Master Xueyue can’t come？” Halika was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, “Then what about the matters here…”

“He said that I am in full charge of the matters here, and the branch president just needs to cooperate with me.” Xueyue had an overbearing and bossy look.

“You are in full charge？” Halika couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Xueyue with some distrust and said, “Old man is being talkative. What is your relationship with Young Master Xueyue？”

Xueyue pursed her lips and smiled, looking charming and said, “He gave me such an important matter. What do you think my relationship with him is？”

Halika couldn’t help but show a sudden realization expression, and his expression looking at Xueyue suddenly became much more ambiguous. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Young Master Xueyue finally fell in love with a woman like an ordinary man. Before, he had never heard that Young Master Xueyue had used his heart on any woman, even if the woman was extremely beautiful. He wouldn’t look at her a few more times.

Many older people in the chamber were worried about Young Master Xueyue wondering if there was something wrong with his body or psychology.

Now it seems that he just didn’t meet a woman who suited his heart！

But… why does this girl Xueer look three points similar to Young Master Xueyue？

Could this girl be the evil result of President Aiou’s romantic affairs outside? If so, then what is the real relationship between her and Young Master Xueyue…

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Halika couldn’t help but shiver all over, and his expression became even more strange.

“Miss Xue’er, that ancient…” Halika was just about to report the progress of the matter to her in detail, but was interrupted by Xueyue raising her hand.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I just arrived here. I’m tired from the journey. Let’s rest for one night. It’s not too late to deal with the matter tomorrow.”

Halika thought about it and nodded： “Alright, then I’ll ask someone to lead the girl to rest.”

As he spoke, he shouted loudly. Not long after, the guards outside the door walked in upon hearing the sound. Halika gave them a few instructions and then bowed and sent Xueyue out.

Yang Kai remained silent the whole time and followed behind Xueyue, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Although Halika didn’t finish his words just now, he did hear the word ancient, which inevitably made him a little curious. He didn’t know what exactly had happened on this cultivation star that actually involved the ancient times and required someone like Xueyue to come and deal with it in person.

But no matter what it was, it wouldn’t be a small matter.

Xueyue didn’t let Halika continue talking. Obviously, she didn’t want Yang Kai to hear this level of secret either. It was true that she felt a sense of intimacy towards Yang Kai, but this was after all a secret of the Chamber of Commerce and couldn’t be leaked casually.

Yang Kai was well aware of all this and didn’t expose it.

Following that guard, they sped through the mountains. Before long, they arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a charming scenery. This place was far away from the noisy branch center and was exactly a good place for rest.

This was an independent attic, exquisite yet not lacking in grandeur.

Outside the attic, there was a small bridge over a flowing stream, and there were natural steaming hot springs available for bathing. As soon as Xue Yue arrived at this place, her eyes lit up. She seemed to suddenly remember that she hadn’t taken a bath for a long time. In the past few months, she and Yang Kai had been speeding through the star field and hiding on that dusty dead star. Even though the two of them had good cultivation bases, they had already become dusty.

Seeing this natural hot spring bath, her delicate body couldn’t help but itch a little.

After that guard left, Xue Yue walked around this attic by the mountain and beside the water, and clapped her hands and said with a smile, “This Halika is quite good at handling things. He arranged such a nice place for me. I didn’t think he was so smart before.”

Yang Kai curled his lip and said, “If you always live in this image, you will find many things that you couldn’t see before.”

Hearing what he said, Xue Yue seriously thought about it and agreed, “You’re right. One identity, one life, it’s really wonderful. But unfortunately, I can’t always live in this appearance. After the matter here is dealt with, I will have to return to Shuiyue Star to resume the identity of the Third Young Master Xue Yue.”

As long as we can find the master who refined that secret treasure back then and help Xue Yue refine another secret treasure that can hide her gender, she will be able to return to her previous life.

“Forget it.” She suddenly seemed a bit listless. She twirled magnificently around, and the hem of her dress fluttered: “I’m going to take a bath and wash away the dust of this journey. You are not allowed to peek. If I find out that you have any improper intentions…”

As she spoke, she clenched her fist and waved it hard at Yang Kai, then walked on its own towards the natural bath outside.

When she came to the side of the bath, she gently untied her silk clothes, while undressing, she was secretly vigilant of Yang Kai’s movements.

Based on her observations during this period of time, she found that Yang Kai was not an honest guy either. He was definitely capable of doing things like peeping.

So she gave a warning in advance.

But to her surprise, until she submerged her plump and soft body into the steaming pool, there was no movement from Yang Kai at all. He seemed to have been standing in the same place without moving.

She was slightly surprised, thinking that she had misjudged Yang Kai and misunderstood his nature thinking that he was actually really honest.

Just as she was thinking like this, Yang Kai’s figure suddenly rushed to the sky above the bath and then fell straight downwards. Before he entered the pool, his clothes had all been taken off.

Plop…

The water splashed everywhere, and the already misty bath became even more misty and nothing could be seen.

“Yang Kai！” Xue Yue gritted her silver teeth and shouted angrily.

Yang Kai leaned against the other side of the stone wall of the hot spring bath, and said casually, “I also want to wash away the dust of this journey, and, I didn’t peek…”

He openly aimed his gaze at Xue Yue’s side.

Xue Yue was extremely angry, scolding him as a shameless rogue, and shrank her body into the pool water.

Her extremely perfect body was shrouded in a faint seven-color brilliance in the white mist, making it impossible to see clearly, but it made people’s hearts itch even more, and couldn’t help but want to get closer to see how ecstasy-inducing the body hidden under the mist and brilliance was.

“There is only one step left between us to be intimate. What’s there to be shy about taking a bath together now？” Yang Kai pouted, not understanding what was going on in this woman’s mind.

“Don’t say it！” Xue Yue shouted angrily, and a water arrow shot over from there. Yang Kai tilted his head and it missed, “If you talk nonsense again, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”

“I’m not talking nonsense. What I said is all the truth！” Yang Kai smiled strangely.

Xue Yue didn’t answer, only a series of bubble-blowing sounds came.

Yang Kai also stopped provoking her and enjoyed the warmth of the natural bath on his own.

After a long while, Xue Yue suddenly said, “Tomorrow I have to go with President Hali Ka to deal with some matters and won’t take you along.”

“I know.”

“Your strength is too low. If you go with us, there may be danger. So…”

“There’s no need to explain to me.” Yang Kai shook his head. “I have a good understanding of my own abilities and won’t inquire about secrets that I shouldn’t know. The less one knows about certain things, the safer one is.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Xue Yue smiled faintly.

“I’m going to rest.” Yang Kai said as he stood up, circulated his Saint Yuan to evaporate the moisture on his body, put on his clothes, and walked towards the attic.

Looking at Yang Kai’s back through the mist, Xue Yue couldn’t help but feel an impulse in her heart, the impulse to tell Yang Kai everything！

This made her complexion change in horror, feeling that the influence of the Soul Chain on her seemed to be getting more and more serious.
