Chapter 386: 386: Turning Dark (Second Update)
Fan Mengxue’s expression turned gloomy, for she had known this would be the outcome all along.
But the Dark Witch continued, “However, I want to tell you something! For a woman, the most important thing is to make herself strong first. Only by doing so will you be eligible to stand on equal footing with the man in your heart!”
Fan Mengxue trembled all over and murmured softly, “How is that possible?”
The Dark Witch smiled, “What’s impossible about it? Just imagine, one day, when you become so powerful that you can control the entire world, standing in front of him then, no matter who he is, he will have to look at you with admiring eyes. You will realize at that time that love is not something you beg for, but something you earn!”
Fan Mengxue wore a look of complete bewilderment.
She had never thought about these things before, but the words of the Dark Witch reminded her, if she truly became powerful, would she be able to stay by Xue An’s side and help him?
Fan Mengxue knew about Xue An’s origins.
Sooner or later, he would leave Earth.
At that time, if she had enough power, she might even be able to go with him.
Otherwise, she would only grow old alone on this Earth.
As she pondered, Fan Mengxue gradually became excited, “Can… can you help me?”
The Dark Witch couldn’t help taking a few steps forward, her voice soft, “My girl, your talent is the strongest I’ve seen among all the people in the past few hundred years!”
“If you’re willing, I will make you the most powerful Dark Witch this world has ever seen!”
Fan Mengxue didn’t hesitate, giving a slight nod of the head, but she asked with some confusion, “Then… who are you exactly?”
The Dark Witch burst into laughter upon hearing this, and as she laughed, the dark aura on her face gradually dissipated.
Revealed was a face that was surprisingly lolita-like.
This was in stark contrast to her mature, hot figure, and it was even somewhat comical.
A smile couldn’t help but appear on the corners of Fan Mengxue’s mouth.
The Dark Witch noticed this and, somewhat flustered, said, “Don’t laugh! I am the reigning queen of the Dark Witches, who has ruled the lineage for a hundred years! I am also the current Grand Chancellor of the Dark Council. My true name is… Anastasia!”
Fan Mengxue was startled, “The Dark Council?”
Anastasia was pleased with Fan Mengxue’s expression and nodded with a smile, “That’s right, this world is far more complex than it seems on the surface. Now, let me tell you about the hidden worlds beneath the facade!”
Fan Mengxue did not tell Anastasia that the man she loved might have already become the king of the world.
At this moment, she suddenly had a strong desire to become powerful.
At the very least… to be strong enough to stand behind Xue An, rather than having him resolve everything!
When Fan Mengxue left the tent, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Fan Mengxue walked slowly on the way back, a gleam of black light gradually emerging in her eyes.
And the path behind her was gradually covered by the deep darkness.
Xue An stepped onto the land of S country with his entourage.
Sine there was no rush, Xue An and his party had traveled here by train.
During the journey, Xue An returned to the Elf Sanctuary for a visit and found that Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian were safe and sound, and they had become as close as real sisters with Isabella.
Seeing this, Xue An left the packaged food behind and came back.
S country is a very small nation.
In terms of area, it’s not even comparable to Beijiang.
But because the scenery here is beautiful and the climate pleasant, countless tourists come here to play every year.
An Yan held Xue An’s hand while looking around the streets, her face full of excitement and curiosity.
“Hubby, it’s so lively here!”
“Hubby, look over there, that man is so dark!”
Because Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang weren’t around, An Yan temporarily shed her role as a mother, so these past few days she had completely let herself go, just like when they were passionately in love, super clingy.
Xue An, however, was enjoying it, and said with a grin, “Yeah! So dark, when he smiles, it’s like a row of teeth has come to life!”
Xue An’s words caught everyone off guard, and then they struggled to hold it in, not daring to laugh out loud.
An Yan held back her laughter even more and whispered, “Hubby, you can be really mean sometimes!”
Xue An spread his hands, “So what? Anyway, he doesn’t understand Chinese!”
But just then, that tall and burly black man turned around and said angrily, “You’re the one with teeth that have come to life!”
He spoke perfect Chinese.
Xue An couldn’t help but be taken aback, “You actually speak Chinese?”
“Nonsense, I grew up in Huaxia from a young age, and are my teeth really that white?” the black man said a bit aggrieved.
Xue An was a bit at a loss and chuckled, “Uh… not bad, quite beautiful actually!”
Upon hearing this, the black man finally left, satisfied.
After he left.
An Yan, Quintina, and the others couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
Xue An also couldn’t help but smile.
The flavor of life is just like this, you can’t always be putting on the airs of the Immortal Venerable, right?
Only Selina, who had washed off the bizarre makeup and dressed like a student, had the glimmer of excitement and frenzy in her eyes.
Heh, to think you actually dare to come and court death, then I’ll just have to oblige you! Selina thought to herself.
Although Xue An had learned from Selina’s mind that the Blood Clan Council was located in S country, one had to wait for a full moon night for the entrance to Blood Mountain to appear.
Xue An and his group then settled down in the largest city of S country, waiting for the full moon night to arrive.
When evening came.
The outside became even more lively.
S country is a very free nation, with few restrictions in many respects.
Therefore, when night fell, places of glitz and glamour were filled with the excited and curious eyes of tourists from all over the world.
To stay in a hotel on such a night would truly be a waste.
Xue An led An Yan and the rest out onto the streets once again.
The cuisine in S country is also famous, at least much better than in London.
Xue An took everyone to a nice restaurant for dinner.
Then Selina, with an air of secrecy, said, “Master, I know of a very fun and thrilling place, do you want to go?”
Xue An smiled, “If it’s *that* kind of place, forget it, I’m not interested!”
“Of course not, what I’m talking about is the most thrilling and blood-pumping location in the whole of Europe at night!”
Xue An, looking at the mysterious Selina, slowly smiled, “Alright, let’s go have a look then!”
