Chapter 2707 Only for You to SeeDuan Ling Tian looked at Huan’er and said with a sigh, “Huan’er, I think it’s better that you put on a veil.” If her extremely beautiful face was not covered, she would attract many people’s attention after this.

“Why?” Huan’er sounded rather reluctant.

“If you don’t put on a veil, there’ll be a lot of people looking for trouble with us like those people,” Duan Ling Tian replied helplessly. He did not want any trouble. Moreover, he was being targeted by the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. If the sect’s powerhouses learned that he was being followed by a beautiful woman, it would not be able for them to track him down since Huan’er would definitely attract attention wherever she went.

“We’ll just kill them as they come,” Huan’er said flippantly as though killing came easier to her than eating.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian said sternly, “Huan’er, if you don’t put on a veil, please don’t follow me around anymore.” In all honesty, he was not extremely confident when he had spoken. Who knew if she would be offended by his words and kill him? Based on her attack earlier, he could finally discern her strength. She was, at the very least, a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial or a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial since she had killed the two yellow-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestials before they could even react. On the other hand, his strength was, at most, only comparable to common heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial after he unleashed all the methods and techniques he knew.

If Huan’er was a heaven-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial, could she be a common one? Although he did not know her background in detail, based on the Illusory Realm built by the Illusory Pearl given to her by her mother, it looked like her mother’s background was not simple. For this reason, he suspected her cultivation methods, Celestial Methods, and Divine Abilities were extraordinary as well. Therefore, he concluded that he was probably no match for her even if he used his Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and attacked unreservedly.

A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. ‘In fact, when she attacked earlier, she didn’t use any Celestial Weapon.’ He gasped inwardly. ‘It seems like I’ve underestimated her. She’s probably a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial or an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!’

Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial! In King Qin’s Mansion, King Qin alone was an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial!

While Duan Ling Tian worried about Huan’er’s reaction, her solemn gaze turned playful as she said, “Okay, I got it. It must be because you don’t want others to see my face, right?”

Duan Ling Tian was speechless.

“Am I right?” Huan’er asked while looking at him.

“Well, you can consider it that way if you want to. Anyway, just please put on a veil,” Duan Ling Tian said rather helplessly.

“Since you don’t want others to see my face, I’ll put on the veil. From now on, my face is only for you to see, alright? Hmm… well… my mother can see my face as well.” Huan’er lifted her hand, and a cold Celestial Origin Energy drifted out and turned into a white veil, which matched her robes, that covered most of her face.

Duan Ling Tian felt his face turned hot when he heard her flirtatious words. However, when he saw her innocent eyes, he knew she had no other meaning. She was clearly unaware of the relations between men and women. He sighed in relief before he smiled. “Huan’er, you’re a good girl.” At the same time, he reached out and touched her head. He felt her long and smooth hair with his fingers and smelled the fresh and feminine fragrance on his hand after he withdrew them.

After a brief moment, Duan Ling Tian said, “It’s still better to get you a real veil. I don’t think a veil transformed from Celestial Origin Energy is very dependable.” After all, those with a higher cultivation base than Huan’er would be able to easily see her appearance.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Huan’er nodded obediently. She was just like a simple and obedient child. Compared to the goddess of ice and snow who had easily killed four men, she seemed like a completely different person.

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. ‘I really wonder who she is?’ He asked, “Huan’er, do you know who’s your mother? Where did she go?”

“My mom is not a human but a Celestial Beast. She’s the Phantom Fox. As for her whereabouts, she didn’t tell me so I don’t know,” Huan’er replied.

“A Celestial Beast?” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed in surprise. Then, he looked at her and asked, “So, you’re not human as well?”

“Yes.” Huan’er nodded. “I’m not completely human. My mom told me I’m a rare Thousand Phantom Ice Fox that only appears once in a million years in our Phantom Fox Clan. A Thousand Phantom Ice Fox is a child from the union between a Phantom Fox and a human. Generally, the union between a Phantom Fox and a human will either produce a Phantom Fox or a human. The probability of a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox appearing is less than one in ten thousand. A Thousand Phantom Ice Fox looks like a human baby when born and can turn into a Thousand Phantom Ice Fox only by continuous cultivation.”

“So, you’re half-human,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Yes.” Huan’er nodded.

“Huan’er, do you plan to look for your mother?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes!” Huan’er nodded again. Then, she looked at Duan Ling Tian with wide eyes as she said, “Duan Ling Tian, can you please accompany me to look for my mother? I haven’t seen her for a long time now… I really miss her!” Tears began to stream down her cheeks, making her look heartbreakingly beautiful.

Seeing the pitiful expression on her face, Duan Ling Tian could not help but soften. For this reason, he agreed to her request. “Ok, I’ll accompany you to look for your mother.”

“I really, really miss my mother!” Huan’er cried even harder.

Without any warning, she rushed into Duan Ling Tian’s arms, causing his lower body to react. It took him a moment to suppress his urge. He was, after all, a normal man who would react when faced with such a unique beauty who rushed into his embrace. After suppressing the urge, he gently patted her back and comforted her like a child. “Don’t cry, Huan’er. Don’t cry…”

After a while, Huan’er’s cries gradually softened before it stopped completely. “Fallen asleep already?” He was rather shocked when he discovered she had fallen asleep in his arms. However, seeing her in deep slumber, he did not dare to move.

At the same time, he began to think about the incident earlier. ‘Those few men mentioned the Sixth Prince earlier and something about the most beautiful woman in the capital. The young man who escaped is called Nangong Li…’

He continued thinking to himself, ‘I used the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman and escaped a million miles away from King Qin’s Mansion. For that reason, I’m certain I’m no longer in King Qin’s Mansion’s territories. However, I’m still in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. If I’m not mistaken, I’m near the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Indeed, I’ve heard about a Nangong clan in the capital of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Although it’s considered a second-tier clan, it’s as rich as various king’s mansions governed by the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. I’ve long heard that the Sixth Prince is the most outstanding prince among the princes of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom’s Emperor. He’s a brilliant military strategist, and his vice is women.’ With this, he managed to have a rough idea of his current location.

‘I wonder if the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect only sent that old lady to kill me? If she sends a couple of them, I don’t think it’ll take her long to find me.’

He thought to himself decisively, ‘When Huan’er wakes up, we’ll leave this kingdom!’

As he instinctively lowered his head, he fell into a daze as he saw the indistinct features of Huan’er’s face.
