She narrowed her eyes and soon saw the white-haired female swordsman with an indifferent expression outside the box. She put the sword on the table next to her and stared into the box with cold eyes.

When she saw Luo Ling's current appearance, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"What are you..."

"It was just a little trick."

Luo Ling's gaze fell on the dressing table behind the white-haired female swordsman. She was very satisfied with her new image that she had reshaped herself.

Her craftsmanship is pretty good, and it doesn't look like she's gotten any worse.

"Who are you? Why do you know these things?"

After being stunned, the white-haired female swordsman's expression became more solemn and she asked in a deep voice.

What she was referring to was of course "Tian Nu Ba", the forbidden powers related to "Tian Nu Ba", and the actions of this group of tomb robbers.

Xuanyuan Muxue knew very well that if it weren't for this suspicious black crow's report, they would not have known even if the Xuanyuan family's tombs had been dug up.

"I..." Luo Ling hesitated for a while and replied, "It doesn't matter who I am. You can think of me as a well-informed person."

Such an answer was within Xuanyuan Muxue's expectations. Since the other party appeared in such an image, it was normal that he was unwilling to reveal his true identity.

but...

Does this bird look a little different from the black crow before?

Moreover, this new look seems a little familiar... Have I seen it somewhere before?

"...In short, no matter what, Miss Black Crow, thank you for your advance notice. The Xuanyuan family will remember your favor." Xuanyuan Muxue said lightly.

Just remember this.

Xuanyuan Muxue was very clear that this strange Miss Black Crow must have had other purposes in informing the Xuanyuan family of this matter.

He can't just be a kind person, right?

If her purpose was to do something bad to the Xuanyuan family, this so-called favor would of course be written off.

If not, the Xuanyuan family's reputation of being grateful for favors and avenging hatred is well known in the Great Xia Imperial City, and they would certainly not treat them unfairly.

"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

Luo Ling flapped her wings and flew out of the box. She skillfully used her beak to tidy up her slightly messy feathers, and then she said slowly,

"If I may, I would like to know what the situation is now."

Xuanyuan Muxue's first reaction was to refuse. This was the Xuanyuan family's internal affair, how could she tell outsiders?

But suddenly she thought that she had a sense of déjà vu about this little bird and thought she must have seen it before.

Plus it's the "Silence"-"All Souls" path...

"This person...could he really be some powerful person from the Nuwa Palace?"

Xuanyuan Muxue hesitated for a moment. She looked at the skillful movements of Miss Black Crow and it seemed that she was not just controlling a bird with her consciousness.

Her movements were so smooth and skillful, as if...her true form was a bird.

It has to be said that there are so many famous birds in the Great Xia Imperial City that it is difficult to distinguish them.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to consult the head of the family first." Xuanyuan Muxue took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want to tell me your real name, do you mind... I call you 'Miss Black Crow'?"

"Whatever." Luo Ling nodded slightly.

She already has enough names, and one more Black Crow won't matter.

"My name is Xuanyuan Muxue, you can just call me Muxue."

When Xuanyuan Muxue thought that the other party might be an old friend of the Xuanyuan family, his attitude softened a lot.

What if he really is from the Queen Wa Palace and if I have a bad attitude, it will be very embarrassing for both the elders and the younger generations when they meet in person.

You know, there are a lot of aunts and uncles in the Wa Palace...

"Okay, Mu Xue."

Luo Ling nodded and observed the surrounding environment curiously.

This is an antique room. Not far away there is a mahogany bed with exquisite carvings. Several long swords of different styles are hung on the wall next to it. A faint fragrance is burning in the corner. From other arrangements, one can also slightly see the owner's cold and aloof personality. I think this should be Xuanyuan Muxue's boudoir.

This white-haired woman who looked like a sword fairy fits Luo Ling's imagination of a swordsman. In fact, she has always longed for this kind of heroic female knight.

Therefore, Luo Ling couldn't help but take a few more glances, appearing very interested and excited.

Anyway, she is a bird now, so she won’t feel embarrassed even if she keeps staring at others.

"Hiss, it seems my guess is pretty close..."

However, in Xuanyuan Muxue's view, Luo Ling's undisguised gaze was a bit like the look of an elder looking at a younger person.

For a moment, Xuanyuan Muxue's mind was full of speculations again.

As a result, Xuanyuan Muxue's attitude became a little more respectful.

"Miss Black Crow, if you don't mind, I'll take you to meet the elders of the clan first?"

Chapter 5: Meet the Parents (k)

The faint warm sunlight passed through the sparse clouds above the sky and fell into this quaint and elegant courtyard, making the clusters of flowers everywhere seem a little brighter, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

This courtyard is not big, but not small either. It has a quiet and peaceful feeling. It should be the private residence of Xuanyuan Muxue's elder.

But I didn't expect that the Xuanyuan family, who was famous for their bellicosity, would have such a meticulous side. The carefully tended flowers around showed the patience of their owners, and a little deeper into the courtyard was an exquisite three-story attic.

Xuanyuan Muxue walked briskly and quickly crossed the beautiful courtyard and came to the front of the small attic.

But soon, a mechanical female voice sounded, destroying this classical atmosphere.

"Ding, facial unlock, welcome home, Miss Mu Xue."

The attic door opened directly and Xuanyuan Muxue walked straight in.

Luo Ling: “…”

This damn technology destroyed the classical painting of white moonlight in her mind, and the atmosphere was gone.

The four places of origin all come from the same world that was destroyed by the "doomsday" and were separated by the deceased "transformation". Because of various changes, the four places of origin still have something in common in some places.

For example, technological development, even the most advanced futuristic science fiction world Columbia, was developed based on the same template.

However, each place of origin has its own magical modifications to these, including Victoria's steam magic technology, which is amazing.

When coupled with the influence of the path's ability, it becomes even more bizarre.

All in all, the world that Luo Ling wants to experience is probably difficult to find. At least the purest simplicity and elegance in his mind is not available in the Great Xia Imperial City.

At this time, Luo Ling stopped on Xuanyuan Muxue's shoulder. The main reason was that Xuanyuan Muxue's hair was not as fluffy as Iris's. She was specially used as a bird's nest. Plus, if they were not familiar with each other...such an action seemed a bit offensive.

Xuanyuan Muxue couldn't possibly let Luo Ling fly around everywhere, even though she felt that this Miss Black Crow was very likely a close friend of the Xuanyuan family, but at least her identity had not been confirmed yet, so in order to avoid any inappropriate behavior, maintaining the current situation was the best approach.

After entering the attic, before Luo Ling could take a good look at the interior of the attic, Xuanyuan Muxue went up to the second floor in a swift and decisive manner.

When she approached the room on the second floor, her pace slowed down a little, and she seemed to be walking lightly.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Xuanyuan Muxue knocked on the door, and a soft and clear voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in."

"Yes, mother."

Xuanyuan Muxue replied respectfully and then pushed open the door.

"...So she was taking me to meet her mother."

Luo Ling blinked. She thought it would be a very formal meeting, but now it doesn't look like it.

However, if you think about it carefully, Xuanyuan Muxue's actions since taking away the black crow's corpse have been basically private, and the specific circumstances seem to be still under consideration.

After entering the room, Luo Ling discovered that Xuanyuan Muxue's mother's room was almost exactly the same as hers, and was carved in the same style.

She looked around and her eyes became a little strange again.

No, not almost...

It's completely.

Even the layout and placement of ornaments are exactly the same.

The only difference might be the owner.

At first, Luo Ling felt that this sword fairy-like woman could have such a delicate side, but now it seems...she is probably just imitating her mother.

In an instant, Xuanyuan Muxue's image in Luo Ling's mind seemed to collapse a little.

Xuanyuan Muxue was of course unaware of the imagination of the black crow on her shoulder. She bowed to the figure sitting in front of the dressing mirror with his back to her in the room and whispered,

"Mother, I have something to discuss with you."

"...It's about the child on your shoulders."

A gentle voice like a spring breeze sounded, and the figure turned around, but it was beyond Luo Ling's expectation.

Although she was called mother by Xuanyuan Muxue, she looked quite young, like a 28-year-old girl.

But this was not what surprised Luo Ling. After all, with the two veterans Yue Jian and Tu Mi in front of him, this level was not enough to surprise Luo Ling.

There was a terrible scar on the young mother's face, running from the right side of her forehead to the bridge of her nose. It was emitting a slight burning breath and seemed to have not healed yet.

Even her right eye was destroyed by the scar, leaving only her left eye with a gentle gaze like autumn water.

What's even more terrifying is that Mu Xue's mother's injuries are more than just that. Her left arm and both legs below the knees were amputated. Judging from the degree of healing, these should be relatively old injuries.

"Some minor injuries, caused by the war in the past." Mu Xue's mother seemed to see through Luo Ling's surprise and explained to her with a smile.

Is this just a minor injury?

Luo Ling could vaguely sense that the injuries on Mu Xue's mother were quite terrible, and it was certain that they were caused by power.

The existence of both legs and left arm were contaminated by conceptualized power. Even if the ability of "All-Spirit" was used to recover, the injuries would be re-inflicted and would continue to worsen, endangering other parts of the body, so amputation was the only option.

As for the injuries on her face, the endless power of "disaster" was still raging, eroding her face all the time, but it was only temporarily contained.

From these injuries, one can imagine what a fierce battle Mu Xue’s mother had experienced.

Of course, considering the Xuanyuan family's widely circulated reputation as a war maniac, this kind of battle might not be worth mentioning.

"child?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Muxue was slightly stunned. She turned her head and glanced at the black crow next to her. It turned out that this person was not an elder?

But...not surprising.

The mother's attitude seemed very good, which meant that at least the other party had no ill intentions.

Xuanyuan Muxue knew very well what kind of personality her mother had. Don't think that she was a gentle and soft-spoken woman just because she spoke in a soft voice.

Thinking back to when she fought against the evil demon of "Doomsday", she single-handedly fought her way to the enemy's kingdom, leaving corpses everywhere she went.

The injuries she suffered now were not caused by one war, but were accumulated from countless battles.

Every time she was needed in a battle, she would use her ability to grow back her hands, feet, and eyes, finish the battle before the injuries spread or worsened, and then cut them off again.

However, this kind of operation can be said to be commonplace for the previous generations of the Xuanyuan family. It is precisely because of the hard work of these elders that the Xuanyuan family has a great reputation in the Great Xia Imperial City and completely occupies the "Ruins of Kunlun". Even Yue Jian, the lord of Qingqiu, is afraid of it.

It's not that I can't beat them, it's that I can't afford to offend these lunatics...

By the time of Xuanyuan Muxue's generation, they had experienced fewer wars. Because of the reputation they had left behind, basically not many forces dared to provoke them.

The reason why Mu Xue's mother behaves so gently and softly now is simply because she is cultivating her self-cultivation, and the layout of the courtyard and the room are also like this, so as to gradually eliminate the evil intention.

Of course, this doesn't mean smoothing out the edges, it just means becoming more restrained.

When a sword is sheathed, it does not mean it has lost its sharpness. In fact, it will only make it more dangerous.

"Hello."

Luo Ling flew directly down from Xuanyuan Muxue's shoulder. The gentleness of Muxue's mother reminded Luo Ling vaguely of his sister, so he stood directly on her shoulder and observed this mother who looked too young from a close distance.

Of course, the reason why he could be so unscrupulous was because Luo Ling was not afraid of death at all. It didn't matter if this black crow body died, so he could naturally be bolder.
