Chapter 1019: Murong Qian's Transformation
The bones of the Red Tiger were completely broken, and it fell into a deep pit.
Nonetheless, Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. Indeed, the demon clan was formidable; had it been a human Venerable, they would have been dead from such an attack.
However, the Red Tiger was only severely injured and not life-threatening.
Afterward, Lin Xuan didn't strike again. He couldn't possibly kill the Red Tiger, as this was the territory of Red Moon City.
"Kid, what should we do?" The Dark Red Divine Dragon asked.
"Bury him underground, seal him tightly, and don't let him come out for a while," Lin Xuan said.
"Bury him alive! Haha! I like it!"
The Dark Red Divine Dragon was thrilled, rubbing his hands continuously, quickly casting a seal to imprison the Red Tiger beneath the earth.
After sealing the Red Tiger, Lin Xuan turned towards the illusion array ahead.
"Alright, it's about time, let her out. I reckon she won't dare to be arrogant and bully others casually anymore," Lin Xuan said.
"So soon? I wanted to play for a while longer!" The Dark Red Divine Dragon pouted, reluctantly dispelling the illusion array.
Soon after, Murong Qian was released.
She staggered, her hair disheveled, face pallid, trembling with every step, her eyes filled with terror.
Meanwhile, she kept muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I won't dare anymore."
It seemed Murong Qian was still trapped within the shadow of the illusion array.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Xuan snorted, swinging his hand to unleash a blue frost.
The icy chill enveloped Murong Qian, the terrifying Cold Ice Power piercing her to the bone, waking her instantly.
"Ah!"
Murong Qian screamed, returning to her senses, but recalling the experience just now, her body still trembled slightly.
She lowered her head deeply upon seeing Lin Xuan in front of her.
"In the future, don't be so arrogant, otherwise your fate will be worse than today."
Lin Xuan said indifferently.
Murong Qian remained silent, burying her head even lower. It's likely that after today's experiences, she won't dare to bully people casually anymore.
"Okay, remove the array, we should leave too."
"Kid, just let her go like that? Aren't you worried she'll come back for revenge?"
"Murong Qingshu is nearby, if this little girl talks about what happened just now, the Murong Family might act immediately."
"Don't worry, given her personality, she definitely won't talk about it, otherwise it would be more than just her face at stake."
"So, for the sake of Red Moon City and the Murong Family's reputation, she won't speak out."
Lin Xuan spoke confidently; clearly, he had considered these matters beforehand.
Then, the Dark Red Divine Dragon removed the sealing array.
"Let's go, introduce me to this Tiger Garden," Lin Xuan turned to Murong Qian.
Murong Qian's face was pale; she was unwilling in her heart and didn't want to stay here at all, but she dared not defy Lin Xuan's words.
With no choice, she agreed reluctantly and led the way upfront.
Then, she guided Lin Xuan and the others around the Tiger Garden.
During this, the Dark Red Divine Dragon nodded repeatedly, surprised to find that this little girl was so timid, easily frightened, once arrogant like a viper, yet now obedient, like a meek young bride.
"Kid, your technique is not bad. In the future, if someone displeases you, there's no need to fight, just bind them and throw them into the illusion array to suffer for three days and nights. They'll certainly come out obediently."
The two laughed and chatted, while Murong Qian ahead wore a dark expression.
She resisted the urge to break down, quickening her pace.
Soon, they encountered other people, as the Tiger Garden was well-known, attracting many martial artists to explore nearby.
"Huh, isn't that Murong Qian? What's she doing with Lin Xuan? Didn't they have a conflict earlier?"
"Indeed!"
Seeing Lin Xuan and Murong Qian together puzzled many people.
It was questionable because not long ago, Lin Xuan and Murong Qian had a verbal confrontation, especially Murong Qian, who ridiculed him and even demanded Lin Xuan gift the Lonely Star Sword.
Their conflict was by no means small.
Yet now, they wandered the Tiger Garden side by side, with Murong Qian apparently serving as a guide.
"What exactly happened? How did their relationship become cordial?" Everyone was bewildered, speculating endlessly.
"Could it be they have a romantic affiliation, and the previous conflict was just a façade?"
"I think so, look at Murong Qian, obedient like a young bride, obviously a pair!"
"Indeed, I didn't see them just now; maybe they went off somewhere." Several exchanged smiles, eyes flashing with a suggestive glimmer.
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched upon hearing this, while Murong Qian blushed, burying her head deep in her chest.
The Dark Red Divine Dragon laughed heartily; those people were adorable, their imagination vivid!
However, if they knew the real situation, their jaws would drop in shock.
"What nonsense, how could Sister Qian'er be involved with that guy!"
"Exactly, that kid is too vile, daring to act wild in Red Moon City; how could Sister Qian'er let him off!"
A bunch of disciples from Red Moon City protested, exclaiming indignantly, but upon seeing Murong Qian's demure demeanor beside Lin Xuan, their eyes widened, almost popping out.
"I must be dreaming."
"Is this really Sister Qian'er? She looks like a different person."
"I don't believe it, this kid must have used some trick!"
Many disciples were unconvinced, rushing forward: "Kid, speak, what did you do to Sister Qian'er!"
Lin Xuan was speechless, and the Dark Red Divine Dragon jumped out, lambasting the onlooking disciples loudly: "You bunch of fools, what filthy thoughts do you have, what can they do in broad daylight?"
"Besides, even if there's something, it's their business, what does it have to do with you?"
The more ambiguous the Dark Red Divine Dragon spoke, the more diverse people's expressions became.
And Murong Qian was furious, almost exploding, but recalling past experiences, she dared not act wild before Lin Xuan, lest he secretly caught her and threw her into the illusion array again, which would be worse than death!
After taking a deep breath, Murong Qian desperately calmed down, then raised her head, forcing an awkward smile.
"You've overthought; there's nothing between Mr. Lin and I. We had some misunderstandings before, but it's been cleared up now."
"After all, Mr. Lin is our honored guest; I'm showing him around the Tiger Garden—is there a problem?"
At the end, Murong Qian returned to her aggressive demeanor.
"No, none!"
Many quickly shook their heads, knowing Murong Qian's notorious arrogance, wary of crossing her.
