“Oh, Mystic Maiden. This name sounds quite mysterious.”
When Alex saw her and muttered the two words ‘Mystic Maiden’, he suddenly recalled a character in American myths. So, he curiously asked, “You can’t be the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, right?”
However, he thought it was impossible. It was definitely not that Mystic Maiden. Otherwise, he would be astonished.
However, the invisible woman unexpectedly said, “There’s indeed such a name.”
In an instant, Alex was speechless.
The news was so shocking that he needed time to digest it. He thought that a female fairy was already remarkable, but he did not expect her to be the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens. But, rumor had it that the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was the Yellow Emperor’s mentor and Goddess Mother Mary’s disciple. And, all of them were prehistoric figures eons away from now.
To his surprise, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens had run into him, hidden inside his cardiac acupoint. Oh, that was not right. That was not the most important thing. Most importantly… Her corpse was still lying inside the Gods’ Tomb, so…
“You’re dead?”
The Mystic Maiden said, “To be exact, I’ve lost a precious body.”
Alex’s mouth was agape.
She addressed her corpse as a ‘precious body’. As expected, the gap between the prehistoric period and now was too huge as several distant epochs separated it!
It just felt bizarre to call it a ‘precious body’ now. Meanwhile, the Mystic Maiden sighed. “That precious body had followed me for many years, and it was condensed using a natural barren jade. So when you took me away, you should have carried my precious body as well.”
“Ah..?”
Alex wanted to criticize her. ‘I raided your tomb and took away your purple jade, but I wasn’t a corpse raider. So why would I carry your corpse away? To fiddle with it?’
However, he did not dare to say it out in the end. Even so, the Mystic Maiden’s words shocked him as the precious body turned out to be a piece of jade.
“That’s not right. I touched you, and the body was very elastic…” Alex blurted out. Then, he realized that it sounded wrong.
As expected, the Mystic Maiden was infuriated.
Although Alex could not see her expression, her breathing became heavy, and a cold wind seemed to be blowing around her.
“Ahem… What’s going on inside the Gods’ Tomb?”
‘D*mn, she will be so miserable for real?’
However, did Alex need to believe her?
It was not possible for him not to believe her. Legend had it that the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was not only proficient in the art of war, but she was the founder of ancient divination and art of five elements. So, it should not be rare for her to know about fortune-telling.
Most importantly, this was related to Neela and Frostine. So even if he did not believe her deep down, he had to take it seriously and be prepared for any possible situations.
“Where would the great tribulation of life and death come from?” he asked.
“Didn’t you just offend a group of people? It should be them.”
Alex instantly understood that it was those people from the Sun Shrine. He was distressed at once. To his surprise, they had pursued him to the Plenilune Sect
Alex hurriedly asked, “Is there a way to solve it?”
The Mystic Maiden said, “There is.”
