Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 222 Past Events

Back at the villa, the four of them took a shower. When Qin Xiaochuan came out of the bathroom, he saw Guo Shiyi applying body lotion to Han Kexin, Feifei was still watching anime, and Xiaoying was playing Candy Crush on an iPad leaning against Feifei.

"Sister Kexin, your skin is so beautiful." Han Kexin, wearing a white camisole nightgown, was leaning against the back of the sofa. Guo Shiyi squeezed out some body lotion and gently applied it from her shoulders to her back. Her skin, which had just been showered, was as white as snow, soft and smooth, making Guo Shiyi unable to help but praise her.

"This girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Han Kexin was clearly a little happy. "You're the same. Seventeen or eighteen is the most beautiful age in a woman's life. You're gentle, cute, beautiful, and generous. Who knows which big jerk will end up with you?"

For some reason, Qin Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Han Kexin's words. He pretended to be nonchalant, picked up a cherry tomato from the fruit plate, popped it into his mouth, and then plopped down on the sofa. He gently patted Xiaoying's head, but couldn't help but stretch his ear to the side.

Guo Shiyi put the body lotion aside, then turned halfway to face Han Kexin and said wistfully, "But I still prefer Sister Kexin's current state. She is mature, beautiful, confident, and generous, giving people a great sense of security. I want to become like Sister Kexin in the future."

"I don't want to be mature and beautiful, I just want to be a little woman who is dependent on others." Han Kexin couldn't help but laugh after saying that.

Guo Shiyi couldn't help but giggle and said, "But I don't think there's any man in this world who's good enough for Sister Kexin."

Han Kexin turned her head, lifting Guo Shiyi's chin with her right hand, and asked teasingly, "Then tell me, who in this world is worthy of you?"

"Oh, you're so annoying, Sister Kexin, you're making fun of me." Guo Shiyi quickly and shyly lay down on the sofa cushions.

Han Kexin smiled, her gaze falling on Qin Xiaochuan, who was standing stiffly to the side. She frowned and asked, "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Qin Xiaochuan felt a jolt of fear, as if he had been caught stealing something, and quickly explained, "Who...who was eavesdropping on your conversation? I was clearly watching anime."

"Why are you so nervous if you weren't eavesdropping?"

"I...I'm not nervous at all," Qin Xiaochuan said casually, then quickly picked up a cherry tomato from the fruit plate and popped it into his mouth.

As the two were talking, Zhou Bin walked in from outside and said, "Time for a late-night snack." He then placed the takeout on the table on the sofa.

"Yay! I want to eat lamb skewers!" Xiaoying jumped up happily from the sofa and reached for the lamb skewers on the table.

"Go wash your hands." Han Kexin scolded the little girl with a cold face. As she spoke, she stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs, while the latter could only pout and walk to the bathroom.

When Han Kexin came downstairs again, she was wearing a short jacket. Zhou Bin brought two cans of beer from the kitchen. The group of people nestled on the sofa, eating skewers and drinking beer, chatting and laughing, having a good time.

After the group finished their barbecue, Guo Shiyi felt a bit tired and went upstairs to sleep. Qin Xiaochuan took the opportunity to tell Han Kexin about how the tree spirit knew the previous Blood Witch King.

"It's it! It's still alive!" Han Kexin was clearly surprised to hear Qin Xiaochuan's words, but Qin Xiaochuan gleaned another piece of information from her tone and asked, "Do you know it?"

Han Kexin lay back on the sofa, and the jacket draped over her body naturally slipped off, revealing the fair skin on her neck. Qin Xiaochuan saw this and couldn't help but recall what Guo Shiyi had said earlier. His face flushed slightly, and he quickly turned his head away.

"That was more than thirty years ago." She had drunk a little more tonight, and her face was faintly flushed with wine. "Back then, there weren't as many people with superpowers as there are now, so there were quite a few demons and monsters causing trouble in the world. Correspondingly, there were also some exorcists."

"Are you a demon hunter?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"Are you demon hunters the only ones who can exorcise demons?" Han Kexin said disdainfully. "There probably weren't any demon hunters back then."

Qin Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly and stopped talking, waiting for Han Kexin to continue.

"My sister was originally a witch. She trained with others from a young age and possessed some magical powers, so she often helped people exorcise disasters and cure illnesses. Once, while helping someone exorcise a demon, she encountered this tree demon. At that time, the tree demon had been cultivating for a thousand years and possessed great demonic power. My sister was no match for it, so she was quickly captured."

"So what happened after that?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"The tree demon captured my sister to absorb her spiritual power. At the critical moment, he appeared and saved my sister." Han Kexin's eyes were glazed over, clearly lost in memories.

"Was he the previous Blood Witch King?"

Han Kexin ignored him and continued, "He did kill the tree demon back then, but I don't know why he's still alive."

"Well, the tree spirit itself mentioned that it only managed to escape because of half a tree root."

"That's it." Han Kexin twirled a strand of hair around her index finger a few times and said, "I think it must have been weakened in a battle more than thirty years ago. Otherwise, let alone you, even if we joined forces, we probably wouldn't be a match for it."

"Is it really that amazing?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise, not expecting Han Kexin to think so highly of it.

"Even the previous Blood Witch King fought him for a long time back then, mainly because it had a rather troublesome ability, namely the art of corruption. So even though the previous Blood Witch King finally defeated it, he was still accidentally hit by its final blow."

"That corrupting technique... is it very powerful? Even the previous Blood Witch King couldn't withstand it?"

"No, it wasn't that easy. But my sister has a natural ability to purify, so in the end, it was my sister who helped him break free from the corruption spell."

"Could this be the story of their first meeting?" he asked curiously.

Han Kexin nodded, smiled at him (a slightly tipsy smile that gave her a charming and alluring air), and said, "How was it? Wasn't it romantic?"

"Yes, it sounds like a fictional story."

Han Kexin propped herself up on the back of the sofa with her elbows, then propped her head up with her hands and said, "Yes, it sounds like a novel story, and the two of them are just like the male and female protagonists in a novel, so perfect and such a good match."

"Why do you sound so down? Are you jealous?" Qin Xiaochuan said half-jokingly, but what he got in return was a murderous gaze, a gaze that made him feel as if he had fallen into a cold ice cave, chilling him to the bone.

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but shiver and asked weakly, "What...what's wrong with you?"

"Going to sleep!" she said, then went upstairs in her slippers, leaving Qin Xiaochuan looking bewildered.
