Yu Xiyan felt very passive at the moment. She wanted to reveal her identity directly, but she was afraid of scaring Shen Zhao away again. She was really caught in a dilemma.

What should we do?

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Now that we're all alone, I'll share the stuff with you."

Upon entering the dense forest, Shen Zhao cut straight to the point.

He took out three Dragon Essences and a Congenital Dao Body with its aura concealed from his storage bag and handed them directly to Yu Xiyan.

“I’m a person who values ​​fairness the most. These three Dragon Essences and this Innate Dao Body are your share.”

Shen Zhao originally did not want to give these treasures to Yu Xiyan, especially the innate Dao body.

But the thought that the owner of this innate Dao body had once gone so far as to kill himself for Lin Feng made him feel disgusted, and keeping him around would only be a nuisance.

Well then, let's just consider this as repaying the royal family for their years of nurturing and cultivation in this lifetime, after all, they have been incredibly kind to me.

However, Yu Xiyan had no interest in these treasures and simply watched Shen Zhao quietly.

"What? Still not satisfied?"

Shen Zhao asked in confusion.

Yu Xiyan shook her head: "You got all of this; I didn't contribute anything, so I can't accept it."

Shen Zhao frowned: "Just take it. I said we'd split any treasures we find, so feel free to take it."

Yu Xiyan remained motionless, her gaze fixed on Shen Zhao. After a long while, she slowly said, "If you really want to give it to me, could you exchange it for a treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao was startled. Did she discover that I had a better Chaotic God-Demon Body? No way, that thing was reserved for Su Yunying. Don't even think about it.

"So what do you want to change to?"

Yu Xiyan lowered her head slightly, a blush rising on her beautiful face, and said softly, "If I could, I would want you. Would you agree?"

Shen Zhao frowned and resolutely refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I don't want to talk about personal matters for the time being, and please put away this unrealistic idea. This joke is not funny at all."

Hearing that Shen Zhao was unwilling, Yu Xiyan felt even more disappointed.

But she forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. Then I'll accept your offer."

After saying that, he put away the Dragon Essence and the Innate Dao Body.

"I have to go; I still have a lot to take care of."

"Well, take care."

“Shen Zhao…”

"Is there anything else?"

Yu Xiyan gazed at Shen Zhao with deep affection, and after a long while, she parted her lips slightly: "We will meet again, right?"

"Let's see how fate works."

"Um... Take care. If you ever feel tired, you can come to Chang'an to find me."

"Um……"

"They're gone."

After speaking, Yu Xiyan took off on her sword, glanced back at Chen Zhao for a long time, sighed softly, and reluctantly rode away.

"Take it slow, there's no rush. One day, I will bring you back to my side."

Yu Xiyan secretly made a vow.

"Finally gone. I'm sorry, but if possible, it's best if we never see each other again."

With Yu Xiyan gone, Shen Zhao felt much more relaxed and at ease.

Just as he sat down, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, accompanied by a clear voice calling out, "Boss!"

"Damn, you scared the hell out of me!"

"Hehe, I've been observing you in the dense forest for a long time. How did you manage to hook up with such a beautiful female cultivator in such a short time? You're really something."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

"Hehe, I think that Miss Shen seems to like you quite a bit, why don't you say yes?"

"Agree to what? Haven't you heard the saying?"

"What did you say?"

"Marriage is a man's grave!"

"What kind of twisted logic is this? Hurry up and bring out the good stuff."

"You didn't do anything, why should I give you anything? Is there anything for you?"

"Oh dear, if she becomes an empress, you can also enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life, right?"

"Enough with the nonsense, where is Ding Buerren?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Bu'er came running out excitedly.

"Master Chen, I'm here. Can we start dividing the spoils yet? I can't wait."
