CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: SEE HOW SPECIAL IT IS

At this moment, Xiu Yingmei seemed like an unparalleled and invincible swordsman. The light from her dual blades was destroying everything in its path, with nothing able to withstand its force. Even someone as strong as Shang Ziyi could only retreat, unable to block its sharpness.

In just a few exchanges, Shang Ziyi suddenly leapt up and rushed into the Ghost Palanquin, which then soared into the sky to flee.

Shang Ziyi left with utmost determination, not even using his pets, because he knew very well that his Second Awakening pets could not withstand the terrifying blade light of Xiu Yingmei.

"How can Xiu Yingmei’s blade light be so terrifying? Even my Martial Arts Body cannot endure it. When Xiu Jie Ming was at the Second Awakening, he shouldn’t have been this strong either. How did Xiu Yingmei suddenly explode with such power? How did she do it? Is this a hidden technique developed by the Xiu Family? What kind of technique is this that is so astonishing?" Shang Ziyi’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

Chen Guan, seeing Shang Ziyi being pushed back, felt a weight lifted off his heart.

He returned not because he truly believed in Xiu Yingmei but mainly because he trusted his Spirit of the Cheerleaders.

Of course, another important reason was that if he ran away himself, the Shang Family’s assumption that he possessed the Secret God child would lead to trouble that he couldn’t handle.

"Spirit of the Cheerleaders compatibility reaches one hundred percent, with the blessed entering the Absolute Secret State. This secret archive has been recorded." Fortunately, Chen Guan’s efforts helped Xiu Yingmei drive back Shang Ziyi, while also earning himself some benefit and obtaining a new secret archive.

Absolute Secret State—Absolute Heaven, Only Me: The heaven’s mechanism is abandoned, leaving only me, Unity of Nine-Nine, supremely true, pure, private, and unique.

Chen Guan had a peculiar expression, thinking that the Absolute Secret State comprehended by Xiu Yingmei was indeed unique.

"Thankfully, I didn’t let you down." Xiu Yingmei walked up to Chen Guan, retracted her dual blades, and surprisingly showed him a smile.

"As long as you’re here, I won’t be disappointed," Chen Guan said.

Seeing Chen Guan’s eyes, Xiu Yingmei felt a slight tremor in her heart. An inexplicable emotion surged within her, making her feel unfamiliar, and for a moment, she avoided looking directly into Chen Guan’s eyes.

"Let’s go." Xiu Yingmei mounted the Golden Lion, naturally reaching out to pull Chen Guan.

Chen Guan grasped her hand, leveraging to mount, and sat behind Xiu Yingmei as they galloped away together.

The Golden Lion did not head towards Yuhua City, as both Chen Guan and Xiu Yingmei knew they had delayed for some time, and the people from Reincarnation City were likely catching up, with even a Third Awakening Cultivator possibly arriving.

Anyone would guess that they intended to leave via teleportation from Yuhua City, and preparations would be made. Heading there now would be no different from walking into a trap.

The Golden Lion headed deep into the mountains and valleys, running for several hours before stopping in a forest.

As Chen Guan was wondering why Xiu Yingmei stopped, he saw her dismount and sit on the ground, blood oozing from her mouth.

Chen Guan quickly dismounted, guessing that Xiu Yingmei’s Absolute Heaven, Only Me state must have exhausted her body.

She had been holding on for so long, afraid of being chased by Reincarnation City, and now her body was certainly injured.

"Do you have any medicine?" Chen Guan asked.

"In my bag, the purple bottle," Xiu Yingmei replied weakly.

Chen Guan quickly searched her bag, found the purple bottle, poured out an elixir, and fed it to Xiu Yingmei.

Xiu Yingmei hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not refuse Chen Guan. She did not reach for the elixir, allowing Chen Guan to feed it to her.

After taking the elixir and resting a bit, Xiu Yingmei spoke: "My body is now overstrained, with internal injuries, and my combat power will be difficult to recover soon, if at all. Even if I do regain it, I can’t fight against the Third Awakening Cultivators from Reincarnation City. We now have only two options: find a teleportation station to escape before they find us or go back and meet up with Ji Nanhong and the others."

"Can you contact Ji Nanhong and the others?" Chen Guan asked.

"No, you know my relationship with them. We didn’t leave behind an Echoing Jade, nor could we," Xiu Yingmei said, looking at Chen Guan, weakly asking, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Chen Guan said, "If you have something you want to know, just ask directly. I won’t lie to you."

Xiu Yingmei looked at him without speaking, clearly wanting him to say it himself.

With a bitter smile, Chen Guan took out his backpack, poured out the Secret Spirit Eggs, and cautiously picked up one to show Xiu Yingmei: "I found a very special Secret Spirit Egg. Look at its distinct radiance. I suspect it holds the child of the Secret God inside. If you like, I’ll give it to you."

Xiu Yingmei stared at Chen Guan, stunned into silence.

She wasn’t touched by Chen Guan’s words but was infuriated by him.

"You say this thing has the child of the Secret God?" Xiu Yingmei was so enraged she could have killed Chen Guan on the spot. If it weren’t for what he said earlier, she would have struck him down immediately.

"Yes, didn’t you notice? The other Secret Spirit Eggs are either black, white, or gray. Only this one is a translucent luminous blue, so beautiful under the sun; it must be extraordinary," Chen Guan said sincerely.

"Are you sure there are no other Secret Spirit Eggs?" Xiu Yingmei felt her blood boiling, and she couldn’t help but spit out more blood.

"No, just this one." Chen Guan overturned his backpack, even turned the pockets inside out, confirming there were no others, just these Secret Spirit Eggs.

Xiu Yingmei was momentarily at a loss for words. She had almost risked her life for this, and it turned out to be just a worthless trinket.

Colorful Secret Spirit Eggs like this, her bag had quite a few. There was no evidence that this was the Secret Spirit Egg of the child of the Secret God.

Xiu Yingmei realized she had overthought things. With just Chen Guan and Duan Shulin’s capabilities, if they had such a special Secret Spirit Egg, it wouldn’t have landed in their hands.

She had ended up creating a bitter enmity with Reincarnation City over this, and now Shang Qingtian would surely think the Secret Spirit child’s Secret Spirit Egg was with her. Otherwise, why would she go to such lengths to get someone out of the Ghost King Mountain Range?

Xiu Yingmei glared at Chen Guan, her eyes almost blazing with anger. Had it not been for Chen Guan and the recent events, she couldn’t have tolerated him living even a second longer.

After a long time, Xiu Yingmei finally lowered her gaze, sighed inwardly, and thought: "I was thoroughly tricked by this bastard."

"I’ll put it in your bag." Chen Guan, holding the blue Secret Spirit Egg, was about to place it in Xiu Yingmei’s bag. He couldn’t handle such a big problem and could only let Xiu Yingmei bear it.

Xiu Yingmei wanted to say something, moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing, letting Chen Guan do as he pleased.
