Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Such Great Sadness!

As for the situation inside the secret area, Jiang Xiaobai and others naturally had no clue, as they were now in the uppermost level of the Demon’s Den.

Qin Ruonan originally intended to take Jiang Xiaobai into the Emperor’s Mausoleum, but upon her return, she rushed to the backyard hot spring, eagerly checking to see if it had recovered somewhat.

After inspecting, it was still the same as before, almost dried up with only a little water barely enough to submerge the soles of one’s feet.

Jiang Xiaobai stood by, his face filled with embarrassment, looking totally restless!

“Well…”

“Don’t talk!”

Qin Ruonan raised her hand to interrupt, her expression stern: “At a time like this, the last thing I want is to see you. Just let me grieve alone for a while.”

Jiang Xiaobai immediately darted away, jokingly thinking that he certainly didn’t want to be hit by this woman!

Just as he made it to the front yard, the backyard erupted with a series of ghostly wails and howls.

“Wooooo, the sadness is so overwhelming!”

“My hot spring, oh!”

“Little hot spring, your death is so tragic!”

In the front yard, Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose and said with a forced laugh under the astonished glances of everyone.

“It’s not related to me, I didn’t do it.”

Qiongyu rolled her eyes: “Isn’t that just like saying there’s no silver buried here?”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t respond, just as he was sorting out his thoughts about entering the Emperor’s Mausoleum to inquire about the Giant Spirit God, he suddenly remembered the magic artifact that he had obtained from the third golden tent.

Inside was an acquired divine artifact of the River God, responsible for controlling the water sources of myriad realms!

His eyes suddenly lit up!

He reappeared beside Qin Ruonan, who was overwhelmed with grief, tears streaming down her face, hugging that hot spring pool and sobbing loudly.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai dared to come back, she immediately glared and scolded, “You little bastard, daring to come back, seems like today I must beat you up to vent my anger!”

“Don’t you run, today I will use the chance I have, stand right there, let me give you a good kick!”

Jiang Xiaobai quickly waved his hands: “Change the condition, using one owe I have to you, and I will turn this hot spring back to normal.”

“You still want to bargain with me here, you believe that I now…hmm? What did you say? This hot spring can be turned back?”

Qin Ruonan abruptly stood up, tightly grabbing Jiang Xiaobai’s collar: “You’re lying, this hot spring needs at least ten thousand years to form, how could you possibly restore it?”

“Trying to fool me, huh? Today I’ll use two chances, I’m going to slap you!”

Saying this, Qin Ruonan was about to strike, Jiang Xiaobai quickly dodged.

Realizing there was no room to negotiate, he could only take out the River God’s divine artifact, briefly communicated with the spirit inside, and soon saw a white light flash.

The nearly dried-up hot spring miraculously began to rise rapidly, reaching its original level before it stopped!

Qin Ruonan’s raised hand paused mid-air, incredulously watching this scene.

“Is it really… really possible to restore it?”

“Hahaha, I don’t care, I’m going to take a bath today, nobody can stop me!”

As she spoke, Qin Ruonan started to madly strip off her outer clothing right in front of Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly widened his eyes, thinking can I really see this without paying anything?

“What are you staring at, scram now?”

Qin Ruonan stripped off her outer clothing, glaring at Jiang Xiaobai: “Should I invite you to join me or what?”

How could Jiang Xiaobai dare to reply?

This woman, if she went crazy, might really do such things, so he turned around and left immediately; and just after he left, Qin Ruonan set up a barrier to isolate the outside world.

Qin Ruonan just changed into her special bathrobe for soaking and blissfully lied down.

“Hmm… so comfortable, this temperature, this spiritual power… No way, is it even better than before?”

Qin Ruonan’s face blushed, feeling her happiness return!

…

Luckily, Qin Ruonan did not become addicted to the bath and unable to extricate herself; she enjoyed it for just over ten minutes before she got dressed again.

She appeared like a lotus emerging from the water, her hair still damp, adorned with crystal-clear droplets.

Her delicate and stunning face still had hints of pink due to the hot spring.

“Not bad, not bad, at least you know your stuff, kid. Now you only owe me two more times.”

Qin Ruonan waved her hand and headed towards the entrance of the Emperor’s Mausoleum with Jiang Xiaobai following behind, continually pouting.

Is the hot spring that important?

Already so old, lived a million years and still cares about a hot spring?

How boring!

Soon, the two entered the Emperor’s Mausoleum again, and the giant spirit guardian who was observing the sea of clouds was startled, feeling a toothache coming on.

“Why does this guy keep lingering like a bad spirit, doesn’t he know that showing up time and again would bother people?”

“This is the Emperor’s Mausoleum, not the vegetable market in front of your house!”

The giant spirit guardian was speechless, almost wanting to grab this kid and give him a beating to vent his frustration!

Fortunately, countless ages had cultivated his composed mindset; seeing Jiang Xiaobai and his companion, he remained expressionless.

“What are you here for this time?”

Jiang Xiaobai shared his discoveries from the secret land and then asked, “So, does the current anomaly in the heavenly order have a great connection with that battle back then?”

The giant spirit guardian was stunned; he never expected Jiang Xiaobai could find those things?

To think after that battle, many energies had lingered long and it should have been impossible for anyone to discover them!

Suddenly, the giant spirit guardian’s expression drastically changed.

“There’s trouble now!” The giant spirit guardian was alarmed: “I knew those from other races wouldn’t rest; they indeed have been making small moves!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai also became solemn: “So all this is due to those other races meddling?”

“What exactly happened after that battle, and why did those other races decline?”

The giant spirit guardian glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and snorted coldly: “That’s not for you to know, and don’t think that finding a few clues means you can understand everything. You know nothing, and you have no right to know!”

There were many things that he wouldn’t tell Jiang Xiaobai; no matter how capable this kid seemed, that’s how it looked to him.

Moreover, the events from back then weren’t something that could be covered in just a few words.

“Don’t think about wheedling any information from me. The things you shouldn’t know, knowing them now would only harm you, not benefit. Instead of this, it would be better to look for ways to prolong your life.”

The giant spirit guardian said irritably: “Any more questions? Spit them all out at once and then scram.”

“Elder, don’t be so furious, let’s talk nicely.”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed and shared the concerns about the mysterious eggs, which were his biggest worries.

If those weird eggs were related to the other races from back then, they must be taken seriously and the secret lands needed to be sealed, no matter what.

However, the giant spirit guardian didn’t seem much concerned: “Those guys are not to be feared; just this small number is useless. Back then, these things covered the earth, endless as far as eyes could see…”

As he spoke, the giant spirit guardian suddenly paused, damn, he said too much.

Immediately, he glared at Jiang Xiaobai again irritably: “It’s not a problem, there’s no need to seal the battlefield again, just scram, and don’t bother me with such trifling matters anymore, or you’ll see if I bash your head in!”
