Enter at the beginning to reach the semi-holy level and summon two great gods and demons

Even with the mental fortitude of a former Celestial God, it was difficult to maintain composure.

This surprised her even more.

All indications pointed to Xuan Ming's existence exceeding her previous understanding, suggesting he held significant secrets.

"The matter of my third brother can be investigated in detail later. This lifetime's physical body of mine has a blood connection with him. The stronger his foundation, the more beneficial it will be for me," Xuan Xue mused.

This could be considered an unexpected delight.

To her in this life, Xuan Ming, to some extent, was also a trump card.

"The top priority is still to find the whereabouts of that fiend. Allowing her to remain in the Southern Continent or even the Divine Mystic Dynasty could be a ticking time bomb for me and even the dynasty!"

Xuan Xue frowned, thinking that the Demon Lord Lin Ning was inherently cunning. Once she had a chance to hide in the dark, she would likely turn the Southern Continent into a Demon Cult territory at the first opportunity.

This would definitely not be a good thing for her.

"It seems I can only rely on my own methods to make money," Xuan Xue shook her head slightly.

Her previous life was that of a Celestial God Realm existence, and she was the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty's Empress. She possessed countless invaluable treasures such as cultivation techniques and pill formulas. Taking out a Saint Realm cultivation technique would probably fetch a considerable price at auction.

The reason she chose to borrow money from Xuan Ming earlier was simply for convenience and speed in raising funds, but now, that path had been mercilessly cut off by Xuan Ming.

She could only seek other methods.

As for auctioning cultivation techniques, she could entrust it entirely to her disciple Xia Yutong. The latter was the daughter of the president of the Divine Mystic Dynasty's number one merchant guild, making it extremely easy to accomplish this task. This was also one of the reasons she chose Xia Yutong.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xuan Xue paused, her brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"What is it, Your Highness?" The loli maidservant beside her asked softly.

"It's nothing," Xuan Xue said calmly, pretending to be nonchalant, and continued walking.

Not long after Xuan Xue left, a figure slowly appeared behind them, none other than the Sword Saint.

............

"Cousin also let me see her?" Demon Lord Lin Ning's face showed joy.

"Indeed, but Miss Lin, when you arrive at the palace, please do not address him as Cousin anymore. You must respectfully call him Your Majesty. Do not offend His Majesty..." Lin Fangyuan noticed that Lin Ning's address was inappropriate and added extra instructions.

The rules of the royal family were strict, unlike those of the common people.

Once she angered His Majesty...

No matter what happened to Lin Ning, he would definitely encounter some problems.

After all, Lin Ning was the one he reported to His Majesty.

Therefore, he was very cautious.

"Mm, don't worry, I know what to do," Lin Ning nodded.

She was naturally not stupid. Like the Empress Xuan Xue, she knew how to disguise herself in front of outsiders. At the same time, she also decided not to expose herself without sufficient strength. After all, being a Celestial God herself, she was wary of the Empress's strength.

Between the two, whoever was in the open would fall into an absolute passive position.

And in a clash between peak experts, even the slightest difference could be fatal. Lin Ning naturally would not treat the matter of life and death as a child's play.

"That's good. This old minister will now take you to the palace," Seeing Lin Ning suddenly become steady, Lin Fangyuan was slightly stunned, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was afraid that Lin Ning would not know the importance of things and disturb His Majesty.

Soon, he led Lin Ning all the way to the palace.

After reporting, Lin Ning entered the Xuan Imperial Hall.

"This commoner Lin Ning greets Your Majesty," Upon entering the palace, Lin Ning bowed slightly and saluted.

Lin Ning's posture was elegant and generous, like a young lady from a prestigious family.

Even in the rule-filled palace, she was not inferior in any way.

This situation caused a trace of surprise to flash across Xuan Ming's eyes.

It was the first time he had examined this cousin whom he had never met before.

The bloodline aura reflected from Lin Ning's body confirmed Lin Ning's identity.

"Rise, this is the first time We have met you," Xuan Ming said as he sized up Lin Ning.

If his seventh sister was described as an iceberg snow lotus, then the feeling this cousin gave him was that of a black lotus in a scorching lava land. Their appearances were not inferior in the slightest, but this contrasting aura made Xuan Ming feel quite strange.

"If there is a chance, I can introduce Lin Ning and Xuan Xue to each other. Since the disappearance of my sixth sister, my seventh sister has been lacking a compatible companion, and Lin Ning is new here and doesn't have any friends in the Imperial Capital. Whether it's age or other aspects, they are just right," Xuan Ming stroked his chin, thinking.

............

Chapter 58: Ten Million Taels, Forget It, I Won't Borrow It, Lin Ning Shook Her Head and Ran Away

Now, Xuan Xue had just left his place.

Calling her back again was obviously inappropriate.

Introducing Lin Ning to Xuan Xue could only wait until there was an opportunity in the future.

"Your Majesty's place smells so fragrant, what special spices are used?"

Just as Xuan Ming was secretly planning to introduce the two to each other.

Lin Ning suddenly sniffed, and a look of infatuation quickly appeared on her face. This divine and demonic fragrance was simply too tempting. Like Xuan Xue, it stirred the remnants of her previous life's divine power deep within Lin Ning's soul.

And now, Lin Ning's realm was too low, not even a half-saint. Her newly formed soul was too weak, causing her to fall into it at once.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Xuan Ming immediately frowned.

Logically speaking, the strange fragrance on his body originated from the Purple Haze Divine Light. That kind of energy was a power that only gods and demons could come into contact with. Mortals simply could not smell it.

He had intentionally taken other mortals besides the Sword Saint and Wuming for testing, and they had not felt anything at all. But now, not only could his sister Xuan Xue smell this fragrance, but even his cousin could smell it.

What exactly was the reason?

Xuan Ming released his divine sense slightly towards Lin Ning.

"Like Xuan Xue, there is no divine or demonic aura in her body. It is likely not an external cause. In other words, it is their personal physique that allows them to smell the strange fragrance on me. Is it related to blood ties?"

Xuan Ming was somewhat suspicious.

"Strange," Xuan Ming rubbed his eyebrows.

The things he encountered today were somewhat unexpected for him.

The next moment, Xuan Ming waved his hand and temporarily mobilized the chains of order to shield the space around Lin Ning from the void level.

The strange fragrance in his body originated from the purple haze that enveloped his flesh and soul.

This power seemed to be too high-level. Previously, when he was in contact with the Earth God, Xuan Ming had tried to seal himself off to isolate this strange fragrance.

But this strange fragrance was everywhere, and even his divine power contained the strange fragrance. Even if he sealed himself off, it would still leak out.

"I must find a way to solve this matter," Xuan Ming thought.

He knew what this strange fragrance of his represented to outsiders.

Even the Earth God, who had lived for thousands of years, had previously been somewhat unable to restrain himself from wanting to bite him. It could be seen that the purple haze that the system had fused with him had a huge attraction for gods and demons.

If this matter was not resolved, it would definitely cause many troubles when encountering foreign gods and demons in the future.

Imperial Garden!

Xuan Ming walked in here again.

But this time, he changed a sister.

"Tell me, coming to the palace this time is not just to see me, right? Has the Lin family encountered any difficulties recently?"

Xuan Ming walked on the imperial road with his hands behind his back, speaking softly.

The Imperial Garden was several miles wide, and the flowers were carefully crafted by specialized craftsmen, with a riot of colors and orderly arrangement, which was pleasing to the eye.

However, the Demon Lord Lin Ning at this moment did not have the slightest intention.

She was still in deep shock.

Before she came, she intended to bewitch Xuan Ming into giving her money to buy medicinal herbs to refine pills and establish a Demon Cult in the Imperial Capital. But not long after she stepped into the Xuan Imperial Hall, she vaguely smelled a strange fragrance and inexplicably lost her subjective consciousness.

Fortunately, the time was short, and she quickly woke up.

Let's not talk about this for the time being. She believed that it was one of the means to protect the dynasty's emperor.

But now, on the road from the Xuan Imperial Hall to the Imperial Garden.

She had been trying to bewitch Xuan Ming, but she found that it had no effect at all. It was as if the cousin in front of her really regarded her as a cousin and had no thoughts at all.

This made Lin Ning feel a little incredible.

Like her, a reincarnated person, whether it was appearance or other aspects, would generally be the same as in the previous life. This was controlled by their previous life's soul. Unless there was a major change, they would be reborn as other people.

And she was one of the ten most beautiful women in the Central World in her previous life.

With picturesque eyebrows, snow-like skin, and the cooperation of the demonic skills she practiced, she did not believe that any mortal could resist temptation in front of her.

But to her disappointment.

This method failed with Xuan Ming.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise, the Lin family has indeed encountered some minor problems."

"Everything is good in the Imperial Capital, but the consumption level is high. Our Lin family's assets have almost been spent during this period!"

"Therefore, sister wants to borrow some money from Your Majesty!"

Unable to bewitch him, Demon Lord Lin Ning could only change her method.

Borrowing money from Xuan Ming in the name of the Lin family.

"You also want to borrow money?" Xuan Ming's expression changed slightly, and his face immediately wrinkled.

Today was very strange!

His own sister had just left to borrow money.

His cousin came right after, and she also wanted to borrow money.

Moreover, these two could smell the strange divine and demonic fragrance on his body!

If he hadn't investigated before and knew that there was no connection between the two of them, Xuan Ming would have mistakenly thought that they had joined forces to borrow money from him.
