Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1237: I’m a Woman

Ji Qingxuan stood obediently, biting her red lips slightly, staring at Jiang Fan without saying a word.

Her eyes were filled with grievance.

Jiang Fan frowned, came up to her, and said, "What’s wrong with you?"

"You’re a seven-foot-tall man, but you act and speak like a woman, and that’s not all."

"You don’t even let people touch you!"

He poked Ji Qingxuan’s chest and criticized:

"What’s the big deal if I touch you? Did you lose a piece of flesh?"

Ji Qingxuan covered her chest again, her jade-like face flushed red, her beautiful eyes widened, and she repeatedly exclaimed:

"You! You’re shameless!"

She raised her hand, about to slap Jiang Fan’s face.

Jiang Fan laughed angrily.

Stubborn as a mule!

He grabbed Ji Qingxuan’s lapel and said, "Try hitting me!"

"I’ll expel you from the Great Yin Sect immediately!"

When Ji Qingxuan heard this, she didn’t dare to swing down her raised hand.

But Jiang Fan was still holding her lapel, making her feel both ashamed and furious.

Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

"You’re crying again?"

Jiang Fan grew more upset: "Why are you crying?"

"I said a few words to you, and you’re feeling wronged?"

"My God, are you a man or not?"

Ji Qingxuan said through tears, "But I’m not a man at all!"

Eh?

Jiang Fan’s expression froze, and he said in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

"Are you saying, you’re actually a woman?"

He looked at Ji Qingxuan’s chest, which was completely flat, showing no signs of femininity.

Ji Qingxuan wiped her tears, stared at Jiang Fan, and said in a slightly choked voice:

"Beihai only has one prince!"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.

Only one prince? That means the Crown Prince of Beihai?

Then the Prince of Beihai in front of him is...

Ji Qingxuan said in shame and annoyance, "There’s also a princess named Ji Qingxuan."

"And you’re grabbing the lapel of her dress right now!"

Ah?

Jiang Fan was shocked, quickly releasing his grip as if electrocuted.

"You... you’re a woman?"

He looked Ji Qingxuan up and down as if he’d seen a ghost.

With his realm, could he really not see through the disguise?

Ji Qingxuan twirled the umbrella in her hand, casting a series of intersecting lights and shadows.

The next moment, Jiang Fan’s eyes widened in shock.

Ji Qingxuan’s flat chest rapidly expanded, becoming round and perky in an instant.

Her facial features shed their disguise, transforming from effeminate to extremely delicate.

Her tall nose, sparkling beautiful eyes with two fine eyebrows drawn over them were now revealed.

Her delicate skin exuded a glossy sheen.

Even in men’s clothing, she was stunningly beautiful.

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded.

He had pounded his chest more than once, only to learn he was pounding on the chest of the Princess of Beihai, Ji Qingxuan!

Unaware, he had even lectured her sternly!

Thinking of this, his face turned crimson-red rapidly, wishing desperately to find a hole to hide in!

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Ji Qingxuan looked at Jiang Fan with grievance, wanting to lose her temper, but her voice was soft and weak.

It sounded almost like she was coquettishly sulking.

"Traveling with a male disguise is safer."

"I didn’t think I’d escape the ruffians only to be found by you!"

Jiang Fan covered his face.

Oh heavens!

How embarrassing can this be?

"Ji Xianzi, I didn’t mean to!"

Ji Qingxuan twirled the umbrella again, resuming her male disguise, biting her red lips, and said in grievance:

"I reminded you time and again, don’t touch me, don’t touch me."

"Not only did you fail to understand my meaning, but you also intentionally hit and poked my chest, and even scolded me earlier!"

"Were you doing it on purpose?"

Jiang Fan was mortified, hurriedly saying:

"I swear to the heavens, it wasn’t intentional!"

Ji Qingxuan stared at Jiang Fan for a while before stomping her foot and saying in embarrassment:

"Stay away from me in the future; I don’t want to see you again."

Watching her leave, Jiang Fan’s head felt twice its usual size.

He had thoroughly offended Ji Qingxuan.

He shouted, "Ji Xianzi, how about I offer you some resources to make amends?"

Ji Qingxuan didn’t stop; instead, she quickened her pace.

She seemed even angrier.

"How about a drink?"

Ji Qingxuan didn’t even turn back, saying, "That’s unnecessary!"

"Then... then should I tell you about my experiences in the Heavenly Realm?"

"Really?"

Ji Qingxuan suddenly turned around, her crystal-clear eyes brightened, filled with a desire for exploration of the unknown.

Uh!

Was that all it took to appease her?

Jiang Fan was caught off guard.

He nodded and said, "Yes, I encountered the Five-star Giant King in the Heavenly Realm, encountered the Ancient Sky Pit, faced the Four Crowned Asura King, and..."

Ji Qingxuan lifted her skirt and ran back quickly, delighted, "Let’s find a place to talk slowly!"

Jiang Fan couldn’t handle the heat in her eyes, feeling guilty, "So you don’t blame me anymore?"

Ji Qingxuan calmed down, thought for a moment, and said:

"Just don’t do that again in the future."

"Come on, let’s find a place to talk slowly."

Jiang Fan felt relieved.

Ji Qingxuan is so easy to appease!

The two of them arrived at a serene pavilion, reminiscent of their free-flowing conversations in the North Sea.

Jiang Fan briefly recounted his experiences in the Heavenly Realm.

Ji Qingxuan’s eyes were full of light: "The Five-star Giant King’s foresight ability sounds terrifying, but if you think about it, it has significant limitations."

"First, the future he foresees isn’t too distant; otherwise, he could directly foresee the outcome of the ancient giant’s descent."

"Second, the future he foresees can’t be changed, or can only be changed at a great cost; otherwise, he wouldn’t risk letting you enter Black Cloud Village."

"Third, his foresight ability can only see a crucial segment of the future; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you escape."

Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.

Ji Qingxuan’s mind remained as meticulous as ever.

Of the three pieces of information, Jiang Fan hadn’t even realized one of them.

"Regarding the Blood Pool of the Ancient Sky Pit," Ji Qingxuan shared her hypothesis:

"There’s no doubt it’s a weapon used by some supreme being against Central Earth."

"This being is at least at the Ancient Saint Level."

"As for the Blood Pool’s ability to fully transform our Human Clan, it must be because the liquid in the pool has significant roots with our Human Clan."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement.

He had thought about these hypotheses as well.

Ji Qingxuan furrowed her brow and said, "That Four Crowned Asura King woman..."

"I think there must be a force in the Southern Heavenly Realm that’s restricting the Ancient Giants."

"Otherwise, even if the Giant Emperor or a higher existence intervened, the Asura Clan’s most fortified village couldn’t possibly withstand it."

"The Asura Clan could cultivate such a formidable Asura King only because the Ancient Giants’ high ranks were restrained, unable to bother them."

"What slowed them down might be stronger forces of the Asura Clan or remnants of the Heavenly Realm."

"Or perhaps other factors."

Jiang Fan was secretly alarmed, increasingly admiring Ji Qingxuan’s ability to deduce.

Description of the Ancient Giant’s higher ranks accurately being delayed by a battleground named the Source of All Evil.

Ji Qingxuan inferred part of the truth with minimal information.

"Ji Xianzi has a prophetic insight."

Ji Qingxuan modestly replied, "Just picking up bits and pieces from others."

"Your trip to the Heavenly Realm gathered more information than my numerous perusals of ancient books in the Great Yin Sect."

Jiang Fan became curious, "Have you found useful information?"

Ji Qingxuan nodded slightly, eager to share her findings, and said:

"I discovered from an ancient book that Central Earth has faced Ancient Giant invasions more than once."

"The one a thousand years ago was just the most recent."

"In much older times, there have been a total of eight invasions!"

Jiang Fan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

So, the invasions began in very ancient times.

Perhaps, since the Heavenly Realm split and the birth of the Ancient Giants, the invasions had already commenced.

He had just absorbed this piece of information.

Ji Qingxuan continued:

"I also concluded that the intervals between invasions are just about a thousand years!"

"But there’s one exception!"
