Chapter 37: A New Look and a Journey
"You're awake!" Jingni's delicate face showed no emotion as she lowered her head to look at Qin Xuan, but her voice stopped abruptly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Xuan looked truly funny at this moment.
Yes, that's right—funny.
Although his facial features were still handsome, his long, flowing black hair was gone, replaced by long, red, Mohawk-style hair.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed completely out of place.
Qin Xuan was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"You should come with me and take a look!" Jingni took Qin Xuan's other hand and led him to the lake. The lake's surface reflected their figures.
Although Jingni looked a little tired from not having rested, she was still stunningly beautiful, with a natural charm that could topple a country. Her skin was as white as jade, more beautiful than a peach blossom, and as crystal clear as the bright moon in the sky. It seemed that all the beautiful words in the world could be used to describe her.
Then Qin Xuan cursed out loud, "Damn."
Martial spirits can also affect one's appearance.
This hairstyle is as ugly as the Phoenix in a brothel. Could it be that the Beauty-fixing Pills didn't work?
He immediately recalled the Vermillion Bird and put away his Martial Soul.
Watching his long, flowing black hair gradually return to its original state in the lake's reflection, he was still worried and tried to summon his Martial Soul a few more times. Only after he found that the disgusting Mohawk hairstyle would no longer appear did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately! Fortunately, he had the foresight to take the Dingyan Pill early; otherwise, who the hell could withstand this?
No matter how good-looking you are, some hairstyles just won't work.
"It seems that he can also be childish sometimes," Jingni said with a smile. "You seem to have gained a lot this time. Your Soul Power is almost catching up with mine."
"And from a close distance, it seems that in addition to the Killing God Domain, there are other different things."
"Madam, you have a keen eye," Qin Xuan gently stroked Jingni's slightly tired face. "But because you were protecting me, and because you were on the road and being hunted by Netherworld before, you probably haven't had a good rest for a long time."
"If that happens, even if you are a Soul Saint now, your body won't be able to handle it."
"And it's not good for the fetus either."
"Yeah," Jingni nodded slightly. She had already grown accustomed to Qin Xuan touching her baby face.
If this were her original world, anyone who dared to touch her like this would have been killed with a sword.
But when facing Qin Xuan, she felt no aversion. On the contrary, she quite enjoyed this feeling.
When she asked Qin Xuan why he liked to pinch her face, he said, "This is a manifestation of my love for you."
And this is what she hoped for. Women in the feudal era all had one thing in common: they had to obey their husbands after marriage.
Since she has decided to be Qin Xuan's woman, she naturally hopes that he can love her sincerely.
Qin Xuan held Jingni in his arms like a princess and said softly, "Just sleep in my arms. You are pregnant, so traveling will only make it more inconvenient. The training has come to an end for the time being. I will go to the nearest town to buy a carriage. Let's go back by car."
"Yeah," Jingni responded softly again, feeling the warmth of Qin Xuan's body seep through her clothes and into her heart. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
With Soul Power attached to his feet, Qin Xuan was moving very fast. Ever since he practiced the Guigu Breathing Technique, his control over Soul Power had become extremely refined. With his Level 68 Soul Power, his speed was no less than that of agile attack-type Soul Masters of the same level.
Combined with the lightness skill that comes with the Guigu Breathing Technique, after leaving the valley, he almost ignored the terrain in the dense and rocky forest. He jumped several feet at a time and was always able to find a foothold and move forward rapidly using the force.

While on the journey, Jingni's favorability toward Qin Xuan was rising rapidly.
Although the increase was not large, Qin Xuan was still very happy.
However, the barrage of messages and the voices that kept popping up at any time really affected Qin Xuan's journey. He also had to be on guard against possible attacks from Soul Beasts, so he simply blocked the messages and voice reminders temporarily and quickened his pace.
Before dark, they finally left this wild and desolate land in the far west—the mountains where the City of Slaughter was located—and arrived in the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
It was near evening, the sun was setting, and the sunset glow in the west was cast on Qin Xuan's face. His long hair was flowing like a waterfall, and he looked very handsome and heroic.
Jingni, who had already woken up, looked at Qin Xuan's perfect half-profile face that seemed to be polished by an ancient spring in a mountain stream and was slightly distracted. She called softly, "Husband, you have been traveling all day. Why don't you put me down and let me rest for a while?"
This was the umpteenth time she had said this.
Qin Xuan lowered his head. Now that they had left the wild land in the far west, there were no Soul Beasts that could threaten him. He no longer needed to sense his surroundings all the time. He could use his mental power to explore the way forward. The role of his eyes was less obvious.
Perhaps it was because Jingni was pregnant and about to give birth, so in addition to the.
Qin Xuan hugged her tightly and said, "It doesn't matter. We have already reached the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire. As long as we pass through this Soul Beast forest, we can find a town. We will rest there tonight."
After saying this, Qin Xuan's mental power suddenly sensed something, and his forward speed suddenly dropped. His body bounced and landed on a tree trunk, bending one knee slightly to stop moving forward.
"What's wrong?" Jingni knew that Qin Xuan would not stop for no reason. She was slightly startled and wanted to get up but was picked up again by Qin Xuan.
"It's okay. I just sensed two Soul Power fluctuations ahead, which are roughly at the level of a Soul Emperor and an early-stage Soul Sect respectively."
"Although it is extremely rare to encounter 10,000-year Soul Beasts in this Soul Beast forest, 1,000-year Soul Beasts are not uncommon. They should be here to hunt for Soul Rings. Don't pay any attention to them. Let's keep moving forward."
Qin Xuan smiled, hugged Jingni tightly, and continued to move forward.
