Chapter 226: Southern Border Girl
“Since you’ve stepped forward, even if I don’t want to, what can I do? Let’s begin.” At this moment, facing the furious Prince of Nanzhao, Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm.
However, this Prince of Nanzhao was actually a decent person, so Ye Xuan had tried to avoid tormenting him too much…
After all, torturing a man wasn’t much fun.
“Hmph–!” The Prince of Nanzhao snorted softly, then condensed a stream of spiritual energy and directed it towards Qin Zhenren.
Qin Zhenren caught the spiritual energy, inspected it, then split it into two, sending it into the Three Lives Mirror and the Former Dust Mirror.
The next moment, new scenes emerged within the twin mirrors.
————
Far from the central plains, there were countless other countries. These countries varied in size, each with its own customs.
Among the many nations, there was one located in the heart of the southern border, called Nanzhao. The people of Nanzhao worshiped Yan Shen and specialized in Gu and ghost techniques.
Outside Nanzhao, there were many remote villages. Villages interacted with one another, and some people lived in seclusion in the deep forests.
Early one morning, the birds in the forest were chirping. A figure was slowly walking through the grass.
He was wearing clothes completely different from those of the people of Nanzhao, looking like someone from the central plains.
And his appearance confirmed it further. He was Ye Xuan.
Millions of years had passed, and Ye Xuan had long lost count of how many lifetimes he had lived.
Yet, he wore a relaxed smile, free of the inexplicable melancholy he had when parting from the Dragon Princess.
It seemed that in these millions of years of rebirth, he had once again lost his previous memories.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s cheerful expression in the scene, many cultivators couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding.
There was always a feeling that this man would soon turn melancholic. After all, he was Ye Xuan, punished by the Heavenly Emperor to live eternally, loveless and friendless.
His current happiness was only to set up for future despair…

“The scenery of the southern border is quite different from that of the central plains.” Looking around, Ye Xuan took a deep breath and said, “Traveling to the southern border was indeed the right decision.”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan continued walking through the forest. In the distance, he could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
In this vast world, a gentle and mysterious melody seemed to resonate, sung by a young girl. The soft singing made one’s heart feel at ease. When Ye Xuan took another step forward, a light appeared ahead.
Within the light, there seemed to be a waterfall, a pool beneath it, and within the pool, a white glow.
No one could see what was within the light, but the pile of scattered clothes by the pool suggested that… The glow must be a girl bathing.
This was a private scene, so even with mirror artifacts, it couldn’t be seen.
————
“Uh…”
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned. They had thought the girl’s singing was just background music, but it turned out someone was actually singing.
At this moment, Qingxue finally remembered that when she, Ye Xuan, and Yu Ling’er watched the scenes before, they saw everything.
At the time, she thought it was a mistake with the Former Dust Mirror. Now she realized that since she, Ye Xuan, and Yu Ling’er were all family, there was no privacy.
But now, in front of everyone, the bathing girl in the scene was private, so no one could see her…
“Ye Xuan, this guy, must have done it on purpose–!!!”
“Obviously hearing a girl singing, yet he deliberately went over.”
“Was he trying to peek?!!”
Some people said.
“Do you think everyone is like you, assuming someone is bathing just because you hear singing?!!”
Though some people maligned Ye Xuan, not everyone thought that way. Regardless of what people thought, the scene continued.
—————
“Ah–!!!” The glow in the water was indeed a girl. Hearing someone approaching, she covered herself and screamed.
“Uh…” At this moment, Ye Xuan blushed slightly, glanced at the water, then quickly turned around and said, “Sorry, miss, I didn’t know you were bathing.”
“Hmph–!!” The girl in the water broke through the surface, grabbed the clothes on the shore, and with a spin, a flash of light passed, and she was dressed.
Of course, seen through the mirror, it was just a flash of light, and no one could see the girl within.
“Alright, you can turn around now, you pervert–!!!” The girl said to Ye Xuan, who was still facing away.
“Cough, you misunderstand, miss. I, Ye Xuan, though not a saint, am not a pervert. I truly didn’t mean it.” Ye Xuan turned around and said to the girl.
“Hehe.” The girl looked at Ye Xuan and casually said, “Who knows if you meant it or not. Even if you did, you would say you didn’t mean it, right? By the way, how much did you see just now?!”
“Just… a little bit.” Ye Xuan said.
“I don’t believe it. My mother said that central plains men are even better at lying than southern border men. You must have seen everything.” The girl said to Ye Xuan.
“uh…” Ye Xuan looked embarrassed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At this time, the girl in the scene gradually emerged from the glow, and everyone saw her appearance.
She wore black southern border attire, adorned with many silver ornaments, and had a beautiful and pure face.
————
“Ah… this, this person–!!!” Seeing the girl in the scene, all the people of Nanzhao couldn’t help but show shock.
Especially the Prince of Nanzhao, whose eyes widened, “It’s… It’s… Sister Wu Simai–!!!”
“It’s Princess Wu Simai?!!” All the people of Nanzhao exclaimed.
“Did Princess Wu Simai know Ye Xuan?”
“What? This girl is your princess?”
Mo Qingshang asked in surprise, hearing the people of Nanzhao. Immediately, everyone looked curiously at the Prince of Nanzhao.
Earlier, Ye Xuan had seen the princess naked. How will the prince feel about this?
However, contrary to what they expected, the Prince of Nanzhao, Nan Ming, looked at the girl in the scene with deep affection rather than anger.
“Aren’t you angry?” Mo Qingshang asked Nan Ming curiously, “Ye Xuan saw your princess naked. He might have done it on purpose.”
“What does it matter?” Nan Ming said, “Only you people from the central plains care about this. Sister Wu Simai isn’t angry, so why should I be?”
“Uh…” Mo Qingshang had thought he could make Nan Ming more furious with Ye Xuan, but unexpectedly, Nan Ming’s words left him dumbfounded.
