Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2454: Chapter 2455: A Peerless Prodigy

"It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, don’t you want to hug me?"

With a smile, Xue An said this, simultaneously opening his arms, seemingly waiting for Yue Qinghuan to approach.

Yue Qinghuan’s cheeks instantly flushed, but her eyes became confused.

"Yes, indeed we should hug!"

As these words were spoken, she dumbly walked forward, attempting to throw herself into Xue An’s embrace.

Xue An’s lips curled slightly upward, revealing a hint of a triumphant smile.

But in the next moment, a crimson little sword suddenly emerged from between his brows, then slashed down, instantly splitting him into two halves.

Strangely, though this "Xue An" was chopped into halves, not a drop of blood spilled. Instead, he let out a cry filled with unwillingness, then dispersed like mist.

As this figure disappeared, Yue Qinghuan shuddered, the confusion in her eyes faded, returning to her usual clarity.

Then she saw, standing opposite her, a young man holding the crimson little sword.

Who else could it be but Xue An!

In an instant, smart as ice and snow like Yue Qinghuan, she immediately understood what had just happened.

The one who had pretended to be affectionate was not Xue An, but a Heart Demon that took advantage of her mind’s gap and acted at the opportune moment.

Realizing this, Yue Qinghuan felt both embarrassed and angry.

Embarrassed because everything that happened just now was seen by Xue An.

Angry because she hadn’t detected anything beforehand and almost fell into the Heart Demon’s trap.

If she had really thrown herself into that Heart Demon’s embrace, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although she had her brother’s gifted treasure to suppress Heart Demons, if she was not careful, she would not only lose hope of breaking through but also severely weaken her power.

Speaking of this, a brief introduction to Heart Demons encountered during cultivation is needed.

Heart Demons are considered the top reason historically for hindering people’s cultivation.

No other reason than its unguarded defense.

Moreover, this Heart Demon will escalate as your realm level increases.

Even the stronger one’s power is, when the Heart Demon erupts, it becomes more fierce.

Like just now, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t break through while in seclusion. Due to impetuousness, she almost fell victim to the Heart Demon.

Fortunately, this Heart Demon was strong enough to manifest in physical form, allowing Xue An to see it and slash it into two halves.

At this time, accompanying the change in Yue Qinghuan’s expression, the atmosphere within the cottage became somewhat awkward.

Then, Yue Shifang, who had followed in, lightly coughed upon seeing this.

"The weather is nice today, I’m going to bask in the sun!"

With that, he quickly turned and left.

In an instant, only Xue An and Yue Qinghuan remained in the cottage.

After a moment of silence, Yue Qinghuan spoke softly, "Thank you!"

Xue An flipped his wrist, retracting the crimson little sword, then smiled lightly, "You’re welcome. After all, I have some responsibility for this Heart Demon!"

Yue Qinghuan felt her face burning, couldn’t help but give Xue An a sharp look.

What’s the meaning of saying you have some responsibility? It sounds like I can’t live without you... hmm?

Yue Qinghuan suddenly realized something and froze.

"You... you’ve broken through?"

Xue An nodded, "Yes, I broke through to enlightenment a couple of days ago!"

As he spoke, Xue An smiled slightly at Yue Qinghuan, "Why? Is it strange?"

Yue Qinghuan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

She had exhausted her mind, even secluded in the cottage, abandoning all distractions, trying to improve her cultivation, yet still couldn’t progress.

But Xue An easily broke through a major realm.

The gap was so immense, just thinking about it was despairing.

At this moment, a light laugh came from outside the cottage.

"May I come in?"

Though asking, following the words, this person had already pushed open the cottage door and walked in.

It was the Second Lady.

Behind her followed several elders and legitimate branch disciples of the Yue Clan.

Moreover, they were all old acquaintances of Xue An.

For instance, Yue Hechang and Yue Junze, the father and son pair.

Upon seeing Xue An, joy spread across their faces.

"Greetings Mr. Xue!"

"Greetings Commander-in-Chief!"

Back then, Xue An had held the Bing Family’s Commander’s badge and led many young people to win the Bing Family Martial Competition’s championship.

That’s why Yue Junze and others still respectfully called Xue An Commander-in-Chief.

The arrival of this group broke the previous tense atmosphere in the cottage, Yue Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but strangely, there was also a slight hint of disappointment.

At this moment, Xue An smiled slightly, nodding to everyone as a greeting.

"Second Lady, long time no see!"

The Second Lady’s eyes lit up, surprised, "It’s actually Saint Realm?"

Following this statement, Yue Hechang, Yue Junze, and the others all recognized Xue An’s current realm, causing a hubbub.

Xue An hadn’t been away from the Bing Family for long?

Yet within such a short time, he had enlightened to the Saint Realm, this speed couldn’t simply be described as fast, it was downright extraordinary.

Xue An chuckled lightly, not taking it too seriously.

But while he was indifferent, others from the Bing Family were extremely interested.

People whispered among themselves, discussing busily.

Especially when he appeared at the evening banquet, this discussion reached its peak.

"Our Commander-in-Chief is truly a genius, how long has it been, and he’s already broken through to Immortal Venerable, enlightened to Saint Realm!" someone exclaimed repeatedly.

"Who says it isn’t, plus rumor has it Mr. Xue has been cultivating for only several decades in total, yet now he’s achieved sainthood, the disparity between people is almost larger than the gap between humans and dogs!" someone sighed.

"Haha, if you ask me, none of this is important, the most important thing is that upon his return, the first thing our Commander-in-Chief did was to visit Qinghuan Sister at the cottage behind the mountain. If I hadn’t followed Second Lady into the cottage, who knows what might have happened!"

Yue Junze chuckled.

"What might have happened?" someone genuinely asked naively.

"Of course, some unspeakable things might have happened!" Yue Junze said with a mysterious smile.

But upon hearing his words, the person in front of him didn’t show much excitement for gossip.

On the contrary, some coughed lightly, continuously winking at Yue Junze.

But Yue Junze ignored them, rubbing his hands eagerly.

"You guys wouldn’t know, at the time Qinghuan Sister’s cheeks were red, her head lowered, her gaze downcast, looking exactly like a lovestruck young girl."

The coughing among several increased in volume.

Yue Junze looked at them strangely, "Did you eat something wrong? What’s with all the coughing?"

Then he continued, "Usually Qinghuan Sister is fierce like a tigress, but in front of Commander-in-Chief, she behaves as meek as can be, so I think..."

"You think what?" a cool voice came from behind.
