At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the purple azure phoenix circling on the snow-capped mountain peak in the distance and thought to himself that if he could walk to Xia Zihan's side at this moment and comfort her gently, he might be able to leave a special mark on her heart.
After all, Xia Zihan is heartbroken right now, and he might be the one to comfort her in her darkest hour. If he could use this opportunity to get closer to her, perhaps he could win her heart in the future.
Thinking of this, the spiritual energy beneath Xiao Chen's feet surged even more violently, as if ready to carry him to Xia Zihan at any moment.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to lift his foot and fly out, Dongfang Yingluo's clear voice cut off his thoughts:
"Hey, Xiao Chenzi, considering how many points you've earned for us before, I advise you not to go over there."
Dongfang Yingluo crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Chen with a knowing expression. Although she couldn't say she knew Xia Zihan's personality perfectly, she had a pretty good grasp of it.
If Xia Zihan truly intended to leave, given her strength, she wouldn't have only run this short distance. This is clearly a lovers' quarrel seeking a quiet place, away from our eyes and ears, so Qin Luo can come and explain. For Xiao Chen to approach at this moment is nothing short of making a fool of himself.
Dongfang Yingluo's words made Xiao Chen's heart skip a beat. In fact, he could also see through these explicit hints, but the amazement and admiration he felt for Xia Zihan made him unable to help but harbor a glimmer of hope.
"What if?"
Xiao Chen murmured to himself, "The beauty is in a vulnerable moment, on the verge of tears. If I can offer her support now, perhaps she will look at me in a different light."
This thought continued to grow in Xiao Chen's mind, causing him to lose his rare rationality. Looking in the direction of Xia Zihan, his eyes were no longer conflicted. Covered in spiritual energy, he transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the snow-capped mountain not far away.
Unfortunately, it turns out that this was just Xiao Chen's self-deceiving fantasy.
Just as he was flying rapidly toward the summit of the snow-capped mountain with great anticipation, before he could even get close, the purple-green phoenix circling above Xia Zihan's head suddenly swooped down like lightning.
As a Saint Realm being, Zi Rui Qing Luan exuded a chilling aura.
With a flap of its enormous wings, a powerful storm of purple energy swept directly toward Xiao Chen.
The sudden attack caught Xiao Chen off guard, and he was struck by the storm, easily sent flying.
He tumbled through the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood that traced a bright red arc in the sky.
When Xiao Chen finally came to his senses and struggled to look up, he saw Qin Luo's figure pass over the Purple Phoenix and arrive behind Xia Zihan without any hindrance, gently embracing her.
Xiao Chen could only see Xia Zihan struggle violently a few times, her delicate body trying to break free, but Qin Luo kept saying something.
Gradually, Xia Zihan's movements slowed down, and she stopped struggling. Suddenly, she turned around and buried her head deeply in Qin Luo's arms. Her shoulders trembled constantly, as if she were crying, or perhaps venting her emotions.
......
Rewinding to the moment Xia Zihan left, Qin Luo felt utterly helpless. Fortunately, Zihan hadn't gone too far, so there was still a chance to make amends.
However, Qin Luo did not chase after her immediately. The reason was that Xia Zihan's system panel at that moment made him somewhat apprehensive:
Name: Xia Zihan
Gender: Female
[Realm: Spiritual Tribulation]
[Constitution: Purple Star Spirit Emperor Body]
[Personality: Cold on the outside, warm on the inside]
[Recent Experiences: Looking forward to seeing Qin Luo, I miss him so much. Is he thinking of me too?; Who is this woman? Does she even deserve to call me "sister"? Could it be...? Impossible! Qin Luo is mine! I will never let these vixens lay a finger on him!; Why? Why! Why do you think they are as important as me? You are mine! We are each other's one and only! Those vixens must have bewitched you. Don't worry, I'm going to break through to the Saint Realm. I will snatch you back from those vixens. You are mine, and no one can take you away...]
[Other information is unknown...]
[Start Simulation?: Yes/No]
Qin Luo: ? !!! !
It seems Xia Zihan isn't waiting for him to explain, but rather to undergo a soul tribulation!
Although the current situation has deviated from some of Qin Luo's expectations, the future situation cannot be ruined here.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, ignoring Dongfang Yingluo's warning, was flying towards Xia Zihan. Seeing this, Yi Ting, standing behind Qin Luo, cautiously glanced at him. Seeing his gloomy expression, she felt a little scared, but still forced herself to admit her mistake in a low voice:
“Master, Ting’er knows she was wrong. Ting’er said those things just now because she was thinking of Master and wanted to help Master explain things clearly. Master, you can’t just kill Ting’er with one blow and say that Ting’er deliberately caused trouble.”
As she spoke, she stole glances at Qin Luo's expression, trying to find a sign of easing on his face.
Murong Liyue stood to the side with her head down, secretly relieved that Yiting had spoken first. She thought to herself that since she had only chimed in with a few words, even if she was wrong, she was just an accomplice.
Qin Luo glared at the two women; how could he not see through their little scheme to vie for his favor? However, at this moment, Xia Zihan's situation didn't allow him to waste time arguing with them.
"You two, sigh~ I don't even know what to say to you."
Qin Luo sighed deeply, his voice filled with weariness:
"Once this matter is resolved, we'll punish them all according to family rules!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Ting breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of being afraid, she smiled slyly and deliberately straightened her stunning figure, creating a breathtaking curve in her pale yellow dress.
She gave a delicate curtsy, her eyes sparkling with charm:
"Ting'er knows she was wrong~ Please be lenient with her master afterwards."
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at the summit of the snow-capped mountain:
“It’s just that some people’s charm is too amazing. If Master doesn’t explain…” She deliberately dragged out her words, while subtly winking at Murong Liyue, “Ting’er is afraid some people will be heartbroken.”
Murong Liyue understood, her gaze briefly meeting Yi Ting's before she lowered her head again and whispered in agreement:
"Qin Luo, what this sister says is absolutely right. Sister Xia must be feeling very wronged right now. You should hurry up and go, lest you ruin something important."
Qin Luo's lips twitched. He knew that the two women each had their own agendas, but Xia Zihan's situation was urgent, and he really had no time to pay attention to their little schemes.
Helplessly, he pointed at the two of them:
"Alright, alright, you guys."
"I'm going to Zihan's place now. You all stay here and don't cause any more trouble."
Having said that, he ignored the two of them, and the void around him collapsed as he walked inside.
