49: You will definitely surpass me in the future.

Upon hearing this, Xia Gehuang merely gave a soft chuckle.

"Why? Do you need me to repeat what you did last night? Besides, this room is still filled with such a dense aura of the Great Dao. Tsk, it seems last night's battle was quite intense."

I... holy... Gu Yuan was completely dumbfounded, feeling incredibly embarrassed at the same time.

No, how can this Fairy Sister dare to say anything out loud?

This... how was he supposed to respond to this?

"No, Sister, you... um... cough, that... is this something you can just say directly?"

Gu Yuan looked at the unperturbed Xia Gehuang in front of him and asked blankly.

Xia Gehuang simply shook her head upon hearing his question.

"I have witnessed the great upheavals of heaven and earth, and I have watched the evolution of the Great Dao. To me, these are merely behaviors that all living beings have; there is nothing that cannot be spoken of."

Uh... Gu Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to retort.

Forget it, forget it. This Fairy Sister's background is likely enormous. Whatever she says must be right.

"It's just that I didn't expect you would dare to lay a hand on an Incarnation of the Dao..."

Even in Xia Gehuang's voice, there was now a hint of praise.

"No, I should say, to be able to make an Incarnation of the Dao fall for you... Little Fellow, in a sense, you are unprecedented and will likely never be surpassed."

Xia Gehuang spoke with great interest.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan asked somewhat sheepishly:

"Sister, from what you're saying, Xi Nian... she is an Incarnation of the Dao? Is the reason my Realm skyrocketed also because of this? Also, what does 'Incarnation of the Dao' actually mean?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan was like a curious baby.

It couldn't be helped; encountering such an ancient, god-like sister, Gu Yuan was desperate to know some secrets.

Hearing Gu Yuan's confusion, Xia Gehuang simply nodded gently.

"You should know there are three thousand Great Daos, and the operation of heaven and earth has its own set destiny. When you reach the Great Dao Realm, you will understand that everyone's Dao is different."

Xia Gehuang patiently explained to Gu Yuan.

Originally, he wouldn't have been qualified to know these secrets yet.

However, now that this Little Fellow had actually made an Incarnation of the Dao fall for him...

Then it was time to let him know a little bit about certain things.

"And the so-called Incarnations of the Dao are the purest Origins of this world. Originally, these Origins should not possess sentience, let alone take human form, but..."

Speaking to this point, Xia Gehuang paused. She glanced at Gu Yuan and then gently shook her head.

"The reason behind this... I will tell you when you can reach the Eternal Night Demon Abyss by your own strength without relying on external items."

Uh... why stop halfway through?

Gu Yuan spread his hands helplessly, signaling for her to continue.

There was no choice; she was a powerhouse, and he couldn't resist.

Otherwise, Gu Yuan would definitely let her know the consequences of being a riddler!

"As for the skyrocketing cultivation you mentioned..."

Xia Gehuang gave Gu Yuan a half-smile.

"It's similar to what you just told that young girl. A Chaos Body and an Incarnation of the Dao—it's the first time I've known that combining the two would result in this."

At this point, Xia Gehuang was also somewhat surprised.

After all, a Chaos Body was unheard of since ancient times, let alone combining with an Incarnation of the Dao.

To think she would encounter such a rare occurrence.

Xia Gehuang found it exceptionally interesting at this moment.

However, Gu Yuan's concern was something else.

"Wait, Sister Xia, since when... since when were you here!?"

Gu Yuan looked at Xia Gehuang with a strange expression and swallowed hard as he asked.

Xia Gehuang glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly in a teasing smile.

"From the moment you told that girl to try one more time. Tsk, Little Fellow, your mouth really knows how to bully women."

Emmm...

For a rare moment, Gu Yuan's face felt hot.

Damn it, can you just do whatever you want just because your cultivation is high!?

Well... okay, it seems you really can... "Sister, next time could you please respect my privacy? This... cough, that... right?"

Gu Yuan chuckled sheepishly and spoke cautiously.

But Xia Gehuang just shrugged indifferently.

"What's there to be shy about? In my view, the union between living beings is just a necessity for reproduction. You care too much about outward appearances."

I... I'm freaking speechless.

Gu Yuan let out a sigh of despair.

Seeing him like this, Xia Gehuang couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

"Alright, I was just joking. Don't worry, I'm not interested in what you do with other women."

With Xia Gehuang's assurance, Gu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, who knows if he would be monitored by Sister Xia every day.

"Let's not talk about that. Sister, did you just come out of the Eternal Night Demon Abyss?"

Gu Yuan changed the subject and asked curiously.

Xia Gehuang nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, I just arrived at your Jade Moon Sect last night. Moreover, I even helped you block the punishment of the Heavenly Dao."

Eh...!

Gu Yuan blinked. Punishment of the Heavenly Dao... a Heavenly Tribulation!?

But why didn't he feel anything at all last night?

As if seeing the confusion in Gu Yuan's heart, Xia Gehuang continued:

"When you were uniting with that girl last night, you were immersed in the aura of the Great Dao and couldn't sense the conditions of the outside world."

Oh... so that's how it was.

"Then I must thank Sister for saving me. Otherwise, I would have been struck by lightning."

Xia Gehuang shook her head and said meaningfully:

"Even if I hadn't been there last night, you would have been fine. The two people who appeared instantly last night wouldn't have found it difficult to block the Heavenly Tribulation for you."

Hmm...?

"Who is Sister talking about...?"

Gu Yuan asked in confusion, and Xia Gehuang said somewhat uncertainly:

"One of them should be your Revered Master. There was also a woman whose attainments in the Sword Dao are already at the Peak of this world. Her Sword Heart is pure to the extreme. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

Hearing her say this, Gu Yuan knew she meant Master Baby and Luoying.

He just hadn't expected Xia Gehuang's evaluation of Luoying to be so high.

"Hehe, Sister, then what do you think of my Aptitude? Am I also a Prodigy?"

Gu Yuan pointed at himself, originally just wanting to make a joke.

Who would have thought that Xia Gehuang would nod very seriously after hearing it.

"Gu Yuan, the future you will surely surpass me, and even... ha... anyway, cultivate hard."

Although Xia Gehuang seemed to be hiding something, her words made Gu Yuan feel a bit embarrassed.

Heaven and Earth as my witness, he really was just joking at first.

Who knew this Fairy Sister would actually tell the honest truth... sigh...
