Chapter 2836 - 2837: It Seems... It’s Kind of Flat!

Chapter 2836: Chapter 2837: It Seems... It’s Kind of Flat!

When saying this, Tuan’er’s eyes were full of determination.

Seeing this, Xue An couldn’t help but smile slightly, and then reached out to gently ruffle her hair.

"Alright, I was just speaking casually, there’s no way I’d let you fall into such a dire situation!"

This affectionate gesture made Tuan’er’s face flush instantly, and she lowered her head somewhat flustered.

But from Tang Xiao’s angle, she could see the natural delight revealed in the corners of Tuan’er’s eyes, prompting her to roll her eyes secretly.

This little girl is truly infatuated!

Being treated like a little cat, her gratitude shows on her face.

Is this man really that good?

Tang Xiao sneaked a glance at Xue An.

Hmm... apart from being handsome, there don’t seem to be any other merits... right!

Thinking about this, Tang Xiao suddenly felt a bit guilty, turned her head away, no longer daring to look at Xue An.

At this moment, Yun Lingxuan asked, "Sir, where are we heading next?"

This question also reminded Tang Xiao, she was slightly startled, then looked at Xue An.

Xue An pondered for a moment, "Actually, we don’t have a concrete target now, but I want to lure that time-space serpent out from that realm first, and then take it step by step!"

"Take it step by step? How? You couldn’t defeat the time-space serpent in this world, how can you accomplish it now that you’re in this universe?" Tang Xiao asked.

The tone was quite aggressive.

Xue An raised his eyes and glanced at her, and with just that casual glance, Tang Xiao’s subsequent words came to a halt.

And Xue An replied faintly, "You’re quite right; with my current strength, it’s indeed beyond me to eliminate the time-space serpent, but it’s not entirely hopeless, like this!"

As he spoke, Xue An raised his hand, and there in his hand was the Celestial Mirror fragment.

Tang Xiao hadn’t understood yet, but Yun Lingxuan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sir, you mean... to search for the other Celestial Mirror fragments?"

Xue An smiled and nodded, "That’s right, you all saw how the time-space serpent fears this fragment. Even with just an incomplete piece, it can inflict serious harm. If we gather the remaining fragments, it’s possible to completely eliminate it!"

Now Yun Lingxuan and Tuan’er’s eyes burned with enthusiasm, especially Tuan’er, who practically adored Xue An’s strategic charm, her face almost overflowing with worship.

For some reason, seeing Tuan’er’s current expression and Xue An’s attitude toward them made Tang Xiao very uncomfortable, so she spoke coldly.

"But the universe is so vast, where will you find them?"

Xue An ignored her words, instead looking straight ahead, saying indifferently, "Let’s go!"

With that said, the group, already bathed in radiance, sped through the dark void at a speed that increased immensely.

And this complete disregard annoyed Tang Xiao.

Her small face grew frosty, staring intently at Xue An’s back, feeling extremely displeased.

Why do you smile so warmly when talking to that silly Tuan’er, yet completely ignore me?

What am I lacking compared to her?

Thinking this, Tang Xiao sneaked a glance at Tuan’er beside her.

In appearance or temperament, she could not say she overwhelmingly surpassed her, but certainly not inferior!

But soon, when Tang Xiao noticed that round silhouette, her previously confident self suddenly felt a bit insecure, then quietly glanced at her own toes.

Uh... seems like it might be a bit flat!

These men are indeed all alike, appearing gentlemanly on the surface but actually caring extremely about the size of this thing.

Pah!

Scumbag!

Tang Xiao secretly grumbled in her heart.

Xue An wasn’t aware of Tang Xiao’s inner musings, and even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t bother acknowledging them.

Just like his total disregard for Tang Xiao’s earlier question, Xue An always lacked affection for these self-satisfied young ladies.

Although not to the extent of head-on confrontation, he wouldn’t accommodate or tolerate them either.

Moreover, Xue An knew very well that the best way to deal with these young ladies with inexplicable superiority complex is not to retort but to ignore.

Ultimately, no matter how you maneuver, if I don’t respond, you can’t execute any tricks.

At this moment, apart from concentrating on the journey, Xue An’s fingers were gently caressing the Celestial Mirror fragment, also communicating with it through Divine Sense.

During the great battle at Kuixing Mountain, this Celestial Mirror fragment unleashed incredible powers.

But only Xue An knew that the final seemingly deceptive strike was completely reliant on this Celestial Mirror fragment.

Without its cooperation, Xue An’s plans would be disrupted.

Thinking this, a meaningful smile tugged at Xue An’s lips.

Who would have thought that the accidental fusion of two Ancient Mirror fragments would have such an effect!

Originally, Xue An found the fragment acquired from Dragon Tiger Stronghold’s back mountain too talkative and unmanageable, so he took measures to erase most of it, then fused it with Yun Lingxuan’s piece.

The process went smoothly, but who would have thought the chatty fragment’s Artifact Spirit hadn’t entirely vanished, instead deeply concealing itself.

This fact was unknown to Yun Lingxuan, but at the first moment when Xue An charged out from the virtual space and obtained this Celestial Mirror fragment, he detected something amiss.

When probing with Divine Sense, Xue An immediately discovered this phenomenon.

Yet at the time, he showed no outward sign, rather reaching an agreement with this talkative Artifact Spirit.

Which was to have its full cooperation.

This chatty Artifact Spirit, after the recent fusion, acknowledged the reality, thus agreed at that time.

This explains why this Celestial Mirror fragment could feign with skill, after all if it were only the cold, order-executing Artifact Spirit, how could it create such vivid bluffing?

Of course, this isn’t the reason Xue An values the chatty Artifact Spirit.

The real reason is that after this fusion, the chatty Artifact Spirit’s own abilities transformed drastically.

Previously, it could only detect treasures within a radius of a few kilometers, and its sensing capability for other fragments was nearly nil.

Under such restricted conditions, the skill was quite unremarkable.

This was why Xue An originally didn’t regard the chatty Artifact Spirit highly.

Who could have anticipated that after this fusion, the chatty Artifact Spirit’s skill would evolve significantly.

First, the treasure detection range expanded from several kilometers to several thousand miles.

This greatly enhanced the practicality of this skill.

But what truly caught Xue An’s attention was another skill.

The chatty Artifact Spirit could vaguely sense the locations of other fragments.
