Chapter 96, 096. That's all I saw!
But he decided not to argue with her, so he smiled and said, "If you like these Blue Soul Flowers, I can plant a new batch."
As a result, that brat just turned around and left. It meant she had absolutely no interest in it.
However, at this moment, the seeds of the Resurrection Flower planted on the riverbank made a series of popping sounds as they broke through the soil, and soon two plump leaves jumped out and swayed gently in the wind.
The Requiem Flower actually grows extremely fast; from planting to flowering, it basically only takes one day.
But such a golden opportunity could not be missed. Hua Shalan then said, "I have heard that the Qingjian Sect uses the art of watering with sound, which can make spiritual plants grow vigorously. I wonder if I would have the honor of witnessing this watering method?"
These words did indeed reveal his intentions. Song Chi glanced at him, then at the cluster of tiny seedlings of the Soul-Soothing Grass, and then fixed his scrutinizing gaze on him, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Alright."
Then he brought out the zither. He then tried using the musical irrigation technique with the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood, and finally determined that the water spiritual root was the right one.
However, after playing several pieces, the effect was negligible.
That's alright, as the Requiem Flower prefers cold. Previously, each time it was planted, an ice-cold array was set up to help it grow and bloom. Once it matures, it no longer needs the cold environment.
While Hua Shalan was thinking about when to accidentally drop the scroll of the Wood Spirit Root Immortal Technique.
Song Chi noticed a chill in the air as she played the next piece, sensing that the Soul-Soothing Grass had responded. She immediately began adjusting the music and circulating her spiritual energy.
The next few pieces weren't very good either; the coldness was either too much or too little.
The scroll that Hua Shalan was hiding in his sleeve was almost falling out when Song Chi suddenly glanced at him.
For the next piece, she brought out her guqin and, while playing, directly used the Ice Soul Immortal Technique.
Hua Shalan smiled inwardly and quietly put away the scroll in her sleeve. Song Chi's glance probably meant he thought using their Hua family's unique immortal technique wasn't a good idea. But what was wrong with that? Sooner or later, those immortal techniques would be fully available to her.
This Ice Soul Immortal Technique is actually quite interesting.
It produced fist-sized plumes of cold mist, which then, like embroidered balls, leaped from Song Chi's fingertips as he poured out his music, landing one by one in the field of Soul-Soothing Flowers below, enveloping it completely. Sure enough, the Soul-Soothing Flowers began to rapidly sprout and grow.
At this rate, it will only take three to five turns for the Soul-Soothing Flower to grow into a mature plant and bloom. Naturally, it will then be able to soothe the souls of immortals and demons.
Moreover, the melody is powerful and majestic, with an extremely elegant rhythm, reminiscent of a refined scholar. And it's a new piece.
The music alone seemed to have a calming effect. Hua Shalan initially listened while seated, but as a ray of dawn broke through the sky, he couldn't help but lie back down. He knew Song Chi wouldn't mind him doing so.
What he liked most was this quiet and comfortable atmosphere.
In his youth, he actually loved listening to the tinkling celestial music by the Requiem Flower. At that time, with his arm under his forehead, watching the white clouds drift leisurely across the sky, he felt an extraordinary sense of peace and beauty.
He had thought that no moment could ever compare to that peace. Yet, at this moment, the joy and tranquility were clearly even greater than before.
Therefore, he hoped that the person beside him felt the same way and was willing to stay with him. If not for now, that was fine too; he could spend his whole life with her…
Sure enough, after Song Chi played that tune three or five times, the Soul-Soothing Flower quickly grew into a mature plant and bloomed with strange, pure white flowers that tinkled melodiously in the morning breeze.
At this point, Song Chi also put away his zither, rested his chin on his hand, and listened quietly to the music.
For some reason, he found even this simple gesture of resting his chin on his hand to be incredibly beautiful.
Hua Shalan thought to himself, "No wonder it's a three-lifetime romance. She really does fit all my preferences, so see, how can I let go?"
The two listened to the soothing flower fairy music for a while, until the fairy spirit branch indicated that it was enough. Hua Shalan then stood up and invited Song Chi to the Immortal Dust Pavilion.
He was worried that if he didn't give Song Chi any sweetness, she would get impatient and throw a tantrum.
As for the core of the Bewitching Array within the Immortal Dust Pavilion, to be honest, even if he casually set up a bewitching array and placed it right in front of Song Chi, she probably wouldn't be able to find it. And even if she did find it, there's no guarantee she'd have a way to break it.
However, Hua Shalan still decided to help Song Chi learn formations. It would be a little fun for lovers, or perhaps a way to add some enjoyment to their time together. Of course, this time, it wouldn't hurt for him to play the role of the "ladies' man."
Song Chi probably had a strange fascination with the eye of the Bewitching Immortal Array, and when he invited her to the Immortal Dust Pavilion, she immediately raised an eyebrow, but her little face remained as stern as her classmate, the Immortal Master Gong. She even put on an air of, "It wouldn't hurt for me to go and sit for a while, you idiot."
However, Hua Shalan was used to all of this, so he led her back to the house.
Song Chi was pleasantly surprised to find himself able to visit the Immortal Dust Pavilion so easily. In fact, everything had gone very smoothly this morning. He had simply walked through the thick fog, pretending to take a stroll near the Soul-Soothing Flower, when he immediately noticed the riverbank where half the yellow earth had been plowed and turned up by a demonic beast. He nearly choked on his own breath at that moment.
Therefore, she couldn't help but hurl some venomous insults at Hua Shalan. Little did she know, he had actually overturned the old resurrection plant and planted a new one. And he meticulously guided her to nurture it with music.
Although it was exactly what he wanted, Song Chi suspected that Hua Shalan probably had some other purpose in taking these Soul-Soothing Flowers.
But never mind, her priority is to complete her mission.
However, Hua Shalan, that bastard who deserves to be cut a thousand times, invited her to the Immortal Dust Pavilion, which was clearly not a good thing.
The two drank tea, which was indeed top-notch, leaving a lingering and delightful aftertaste. The incense he lit was also very beneficial for nourishing one's spiritual energy.
But when she left, Hua Shalan was leaning against the door frame, smiling with an alluring smile.
"Next, there's a small, basic illusion array. You need to break through it to get out of the front yard."
"Junior Sister Song graduated from the academy with excellent grades. I think breaking through this small formation shouldn't be too difficult for her."
Song Chi had already stepped into the illusion array. When she turned around, she could only see Hua Shalan's figure, which seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, yet also seemed to be right in front of her. She would have to break the array to fight him.
Regarding the problem formations, she only knew how to memorize them for exams, but didn't truly understand them. She had relied on the divination methods of the "Escape Immortal" to get to where she was now.
Therefore, she basically had no expertise in this area. Her practical experience with formations… she'd only practiced two or three times in class, and those were ages ago; she'd long ago forgotten all that knowledge of her immortal master, Mo Shubai…
Doing this to her now is practically making things difficult for her.
But Song Chi didn't want Hua Shalan to get cocky, and besides, this kid was probably serious. If she couldn't break through it, this bastard might use a bewitching array to imprison her for several hours.
Fortunately, Song Chi quickly determined that this was indeed just a mid-level illusion array.
But the solution...
When Song Chi pulled out the thick book on breaking intermediate formations that she had studied at Qingxue Palace to cram for the last minute, she heard Hua Shalan lean against the windowsill and let out a low, seductive laugh.
Ah, right, right, right! Keep laughing, or you'll laugh yourself to death.
It took her two full hours to break through the illusion array.
As she was leaving, Hua Shalan's voice drifted over from afar. "I will continue to await Junior Sister Song's arrival tomorrow, but be careful as a love spell might suddenly appear in this courtyard."
Song Chi coughed up a mouthful of blood. Hua Shalan seemed to be having a great time!
But the problem was, she really needed to find a way to go to the Immortal Dust Pavilion at any time. Although this solved the problem to some extent, when she went back and stayed up late studying array formations, Song Chi couldn't help but curse Hua Shalan in her heart.
After that, Song Chi began to enjoy a 'wonderful' life, getting up early to play music for the Soul-Soothing Flower, then heading to the Immortal Dust Pavilion to break the formation, then having a cup of tea with Hua Shalan in a huff, and then returning home in the evening to diligently study books.
The last time she worked this hard was probably for the college entrance exam. Or maybe the sect's grand exam... No, she didn't even plan to pass that sect exam, so she lived a rather leisurely life.
In short, she remembered this small grudge against Hua Shalan.
Hua Shalan never expected that Song Chi would be such a 'little fool'. He really followed the instructions exactly, making a tiny change to the arrangement of the intermediate basic formations he had learned at the academy.
But even this small change... could stump Song Chi for one or two hours.
So one time he lowered the difficulty a little, and when the person who broke the formation came to him, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up and then immediately flattened, but his stern little face still couldn't hide the little face that said, 'I'm just that kind of genius.'
This immediately diminished his chivalrous mood, and the next day he made things a bit more difficult for her.
So Song Chi failed to break through the formation by nightfall that day and returned home covered in dust. He even shot an arrow at Song Chi with his eyes.
That night, Hua Shalan had to adjust the difficulty level to avoid really incurring Song Chi's hatred, which would be unpleasant.
The next day, she finished playing a piece by the Soul-Soothing Flower at dawn. The piece even had a somewhat murderous aura, which caused the Soul-Soothing Flower to wilt slightly, but it did not affect the fact that the Fairy Demon Spirit Branch could soothe the soul, so it was fine.
Next, Song Chi arrived with great fanfare to break the formation. Because the difficulty had been lowered, it only took her two hours to break the formation.
But when she looked over, there was actually a hint of resentment in her eyes. It meant that even without lowering the difficulty, she could still break the formation.
Hua Shalan didn't want to speak. She had stayed up all night studying diligently, and had indeed devised ten directions to break the formation. But they were all wrong... He had to choose one of the formations she had modified from the direction she had used to break the formation, and only then could she pass.
Otherwise, it seems that if the location is changed even slightly, this person will lose their sense of direction.
Song Chi's aptitude for formations is so-so... even if he studied for another hundred years, he would have virtually no hope of success.
But this teaching process was full of fun. Whether it was Song Chi's smugness, anger, or the joyful little expression after breaking the formation, it all made these days like bubbles rising in the morning sun, truly delightful.
Song Chi still harbored some resentment towards him. She roughly knew that he could use his divine sense to spy on her, so she made a small figure with his name written on it. Whenever he used his divine sense to probe over, she would pick up a stick and hit the small figure twice to show him.
In fact, this only made him smile. And he felt that this little quirk was especially cute.
Before he kidnapped Song Chi, his possessiveness towards her, his desire to bring her to his side, definitely outweighed his affection for her.
After all, she was the one destined to cultivate with him for three lifetimes. On that night when the blue soul flowers were in full bloom, knowing all this, he had no intention of letting her go.
But now... that joy has indeed outweighed the feeling of possession.
Since she is someone who can touch his heartstrings, he naturally has no intention of letting her leave his side.
On this night of the full moon, the Immortal Demon Spirit Branch had finished its soothing ritual. Tonight was its most crucial moment, and he had to stay by its side at all times to prevent any evil spirits from taking advantage. Coincidentally, this was also the night his poison would flare up every ten years on the night of the full moon. Although the poison had been suppressed since he ingested the Blue Soul Flower, he still had to soak in the Jade Lotus Spirit Spring for a night every ten years on the night of the full moon to alleviate the flare-up of the poison.
Therefore, he didn't spend the whole day with Song Chi. He reinforced the various arrangements of the Bewitching Immortal Array and placed millions of top-grade spirit stones at the array's core to maximize its activation.
When I returned from my patrol after nightfall, I saw Song Chi still sitting by the window, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito, angrily reading a book on formations.
Hua Shalan couldn't help but smile.
After some thought, she ultimately decided not to seal off the Immortal Dust Pavilion. However, to prevent Song Chi from challenging the formation early in the morning, she has recently become highly motivated and has started appearing in front of the Immortal Dust Pavilion before dawn, determined not to give up until the formation is broken.
That's settled then.
Because of the tenderness in her heart, Hua Shalan set up a love charm array in the front yard for Song Chi to break. However, she raised the array's difficulty level to the highest level. With this level of difficulty, stopping Song Chi should be a piece of cake. After he finishes dealing with the Immortal Demon Spirit Branch, he can simply adjust the array's difficulty for her later.
Next, he set up three more exorcism formations from the central courtyard to the backyard.
Only after he was absolutely certain that everything was in order did he soak in the Jade Lotus Spirit Spring in the dead of night when the poison took effect. Tonight, however, for some reason, the poison in his body was surprisingly mild, and he didn't feel any discomfort. In fact, it seemed that the poison was being attracted to the celestial and demonic branches that danced lightly on the water's surface under the moonlight.
Hua Shalan suspected that his poison was likely related to the Immortal Demon Spirit Branch. It was a pity that his ancestors… had no record of even such a precious treasure as the Immortal Demon Spirit Branch, which was crucial to the clan's survival. Perhaps the exorcism war a million years ago was too terrifying, making it difficult for his ancestors to survive, forcing them to entrust the Immortal Demon Spirit Branch to a powerful figure like Immortal Lord Qiongyu for preservation. In any case, he could only speculate wildly now.
We waited quietly until the darkest hour before dawn, when we heard the sound of a zither coming from the west.
It's still that same melody of tranquility, but today it carries a hint of fierce determination. They seem incredibly spirited and ready to fight.
The music stopped quickly, and soon the bewitching array in front of the Immortal Dust Pavilion was activated.
A curse immediately followed: "Go to hell!" The person had probably been sprayed in the face with sleeping powder, and was also coughing.
And the curses sounded rather like gritted teeth. At this moment, because the poison was still circulating, Hua Shalan dared not casually send her divine sense over to take a look at the front courtyard.
Even so, he could imagine what a dark-skinned Song Chi must have been, and he couldn't help but smile.
With Song Chi's limited array-breaking skills, he shouldn't even think about breaking this top-tier bewitching array today. However, he'll actually lend her a hand once it gets light, so there's no need to be so angry.
Then, Hua Shalan listened to the various sounds of the misty smoke and Song Chi's constant soft moans, interspersed with curses of him being a bastard, until dawn broke. As the sky began to lighten, the immortal demon spirit branch sent a message saying that it had reached its most crucial moment and that he was not allowed to move.
At this moment, he was also somewhat restless, but he naturally dared not move.
However, the crucial moment that the immortal and demonic spirit branch spoke of was when the grass and leaves welcomed a ray of sunlight, and suddenly a rich vitality burst forth.
It broke through his painstakingly set up triple exorcism array in an instant. Fortunately, the Vitality Bewitching Immortal Array was originally the most powerful exorcism array, so there was no need to worry about the immortal demon spirit branch being taken advantage of by evil spirits.
Hua Shalan was a little worried that the bewitching array he left for Song Chi... might have been mostly broken open.
She'll come inside in a bit... but I doubt she'll actually dare to come into the backyard. He could easily understand Song Chi's wary look. She was terrified he'd force himself on her.
This person was actually timid and cautious, so naturally they would never dare to come in while he was taking a bath.
That's no different from a lamb being led to the slaughter. Although he would never do anything she didn't want to do now, Song Chi might not believe he was being so kind.
However, a moment later, footsteps could be heard pointing directly to the backyard.
"Senior Brother Hua, are you there?" And this question was asked.
In fact, Song Chi's divine sense had already crossed the bamboo grove in the backyard and glanced at the bathing area. Then it quickly withdrew.
Hua Shalan immediately smiled with a wicked grin.
"I'm taking a shower."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi's footsteps indeed stopped in front of the back gate.
Hua Shalan thought that she would naturally go back in a while.
But to everyone's surprise, the footsteps paused slightly, then continued straight inward. She walked through the bamboo grove, the sound of her footsteps on the pebbly path exceptionally clear.
After a short while, Song Chi, his white robes shrouded in pink mist, turned through the bamboo grove and slowly approached along the shady path beside the bath, his hands behind his back.
Hua Shalan: "..." Does she know what she's doing?
However, judging from her disheveled appearance and the smoke covering her body, it's likely that the top-tier bewitching array she encountered today has greatly angered her.
So, anger surged within him, and even though he was taking a shower, he couldn't resist rushing over to get a little revenge.
To be honest, he really couldn't move right now. That's why Hua Shalan silently watched Song Chi at that moment.
She simply stared at him with a chilling gaze, then walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and with a forceful snap of two fingers, broke off a white lotus in her hand.
In all honesty, only one immortal lotus blooms here every five hundred years. As soon as one blossoms, another withers. Therefore, they are all extremely precious, and all the magic arts of the Hua family are inseparable from the life force and spiritual energy provided by these immortal lotuses.
Oh well, I'll just pluck a lotus for her to vent my anger.
In this way, his temper will probably be somewhat relieved.
However, who knew that the next moment would bring something different.
thump!
Then, Song Chi picked the lotus flower and jumped into the bath. Although the two were about two zhang apart, ...
Hua Shalan's mind was in a mess. Did she even know what she was doing?
As Song Chi walked step by step through the water, only his small head remained above the surface, his expression was extremely solemn, even more so than the elders of the Immortal Alliance…
Hua Shalan: "..." At this moment, words could hardly describe his feelings.
When Song Chi picked the immortal lotus, he planted the root of the immortal demon in the bath. The root of the immortal demon instantly plunged into the water. To be honest, there was a slight commotion, but Hua Shalan didn't even see it.
It is likely that, as the Golden Scroll suggests, without the possession of the Longevity Leaf, no one can see this immortal root.
Next, she twitched her nose and took steps that could only be described as suicidal as she approached Hua Shalan step by step.
Hua Shalan's expression at this moment probably suggested she thought she was crazy. This was practically no different from going up to deliver food.
To be honest, if it weren't for the mission prompt, she would have thought she was crazy.
As she planted the root of immortality and demonhood, the golden scroll gave her a hint. Next, she should hold the immortal lotus and, together with the immortal jade lotus given to her by Immortal Lord Qiongyu, draw out the immortal soul and demonhood nurtured within Hua Shalan's body. In this way, the root of immortality and demonhood, as well as the immortal leaves dancing in the pool, could unite their spirits and grow into a true immortal soul and demonhood spirit.
The souls of immortals and demons need to be nurtured by the souls of cultivators, but the nurturing process involves enduring unimaginable and intense pain.
Needless to say, the book mentions that Hua Shalan suffered this inhuman pain and torment from a young age, which tormented his personality to the point of being somewhat abnormal!
But if he has anyone to blame, he can probably only blame their ancestors.
The Hua family is actually a clan of immortals and demons, and a secret family that guards the spirit of immortals and demons. However, two million years ago, they betrayed the other eight great immortal and demon families and made peace with the eight great immortal sects. Because the Hua family controlled the lifeblood of the spirit of immortals and demons, the other eight great immortal and demon families could only watch helplessly as each family was slaughtered every 100,000 years, leaving only a branch to survive, and they were powerless to resist.
Immortal Lord Qiongyu destroyed all of this past history, but the spirits of immortals and demons can only be protected by the Hua family.
So, Hua Shalan, who was chosen, can only be described as unlucky and paying off his ancestors' debts.
That so-called dual cultivation method... is basically something only donkeys do. If he wants to easily welcome his new life, she must successfully remove that immortal demon soul from his body today.
The way to retrieve it was for her to get close enough to Hua Shalan.
Ideally, the two people should be in complete harmony and develop some feelings for each other.
Song Chi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw that she was being emotional. But if she got close enough, she could still manage it.
It was this gradual approach that probably shattered Hua Shalan's mind.
His slightly surprised eyes couldn't hide the racing thoughts in his mind.
But when Song Chi got a step closer to him and placed one hand on his ear in a very domineering manner.
He couldn't help but lower his head and tremble, letting out a deep and seductive laugh. Then he tilted his head up slightly, adjusting himself to a position where she could easily kiss him. His eyes flashed with an eerie light as he looked at her with a smile.
Here we go again!
Stop trying to seduce me.
If it weren't for the distance, the two immortal lotuses would have already exerted their power, actually drawing out wisps of light green, icy aura from Hua Shalan's dantian. Song Chi would have really given Hua Shalan a disdainful look.
Hua Shalan must have sensed this; he glanced at the ethereal branch dancing not far away, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Then he quickly vanished.
The two then stared at each other in silence.
The absorption of the immortal and demon souls had been going smoothly until the very last bite, when it seemed as if something was blocking it and it just couldn't be pulled out.
At this moment, Song Chi heard the voice coming from the Immortal Demon Root, which turned out to be the voice of a little boy.
"Give him a kiss, quick!"
"His mind and attention must be completely drawn in so that the immortal and demon souls can successfully break free and return to their rightful place."
Song Chi: "..." Or you can do it.
"Then get close enough. This kid has feelings for you. Perhaps this ambiguous feeling of almost kissing him will be more able to confuse his mind."
You call yourself a blade of grass, and a grass root at that. Yet you know quite a lot.
Moreover, at this moment, the tracking spiritual power that Mo Shubai had been using to strike her divine essence suddenly stirred, and then the movement became more and more intense.
I'm afraid that her master and senior brother have really found the place and come to rescue her...
Well, the mission has come to this point.
Song Chi immediately closed his eyes slightly. There was no other way but to do it.
Anyway, practice makes perfect, and they don't actually need to kiss. The only problem is that Hua Shalan has feelings for her… I guess that immortal-demon root is just a blade of grass; it doesn't understand at all. Just look at the days she's spent studying like crazy, enduring so much hardship—is that how you treat someone you like? She's already being kind by not giving him a good scolding.
In short, Song Chi's chest heaved for a moment before he stared at Hua Shalan.
Hua Shalan was exceptionally perceptive; before she could even make a move, he had already begun to smile slightly.
As she approached him, this guy really was a jerk. He deliberately flexed his shoulder muscles with the turbulent water. His light green shirt slid with the waves, instantly creating a deep V-neck, revealing his barely concealed chest...
I didn't realize that Hua Shalan, who is usually sickly, actually has a pretty good figure...
However, Song Chi sniffed, thinking that this would seduce her, but he had clearly misjudged her.
Hua Shalan clearly thought he could seduce her, and even chuckled softly at the time. Indeed, she glanced at his chest a couple of times. But who else in the world could remain as unmoved as her, wielding a green-leaf magic weapon and feeling restless all over? There's probably no one like her.
She already has a lot of integrity.
After that, nothing more ambiguous happened.
The sound of the soul detaching with a "pop" occurred almost simultaneously with the huge spiritual explosion high in the sky.
Hua Shalan was probably distracted by the spiritual explosion in the sky, which caused him to completely detach his mind from the immortal and demonic souls, thus allowing the immortal and demonic spirits to successfully merge.
Strangely enough, two plants sprouted from the same stem at once. One of them quickly jumped into her sea of consciousness, while the other one danced on Hua Shalan's shoulder.
None of this matters; it simply means the mission was successfully completed. Now, Song Chi turned his head and saw his master's green robes fluttering, his imposing figure appearing high in the sky.
And looking directly at her, Song Chi couldn't help but lick his lips and weakly call out.
"Master, save me!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Shalan, who deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces, burst out laughing.
The master's face twitched noticeably.
When Venerable Xueqiao broke through the seal of the Bewitching Immortal Array, this was what he saw. He almost choked on his own blood.
And so, that brat still weakly cried out, "Master, save me!" He realized that the one he needed to save might not be her, but rather Hua Shalan, whom he had subdued in the corner of the bath.
And because he was so momentarily distracted, he couldn't stop them immediately. Shu Bai and the other three rushed in, while those behind were naturally blocked outside by his immortal magic.
Seeing this, Shu Bai merely shook his head and smiled faintly. He seemed completely unconcerned about the kid…
As for Ye Qingyu, to be honest, this trip was largely thanks to the fact that this kid had been careful beforehand and had secretly planted the Ye family's unique White Plum Tracking Technique in Hua Shalan's Divine Essence, which helped Shu Bai's side accurately locate the Immortal Manor in the Dark Forest.
Ye Qingyu stared at the scene before him, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat. He then closed his eyes and looked up at the sky, surprisingly finding it quite acceptable. It seemed this kid had never thought of that brat in the slightest.
Wen Yujiu, on the other hand, merely twitched her cheek and sighed slightly. The Linglong Sect's techniques had provided considerable assistance in the tracking.
The one who deserves the most credit is naturally Qi Zhenmo. He rushed in and saw this scene, and immediately started shaking his shoulders and chuckling. He's the kind of person who loves to watch the drama unfold.
All of this actually happened in a very short time.
Seeing the strange movement of the lotus in the bath, Hua Shalan still reached out and grabbed the brat to escape from the bottom of the water.
Venerable Xueqiao naturally wouldn't give in, and used his spiritual power to bring Song Chi back to his side.
Below, the pool and the entire magnificent golden building were engulfed in a swirling, turbulent surge of spiritual energy, before plunging into the deep, dark depths below.
Arresting them was out of the question. After all, these were reclusive families, and outsiders certainly had ways of dealing with them that they didn't understand.
However, Hua Shalan surprisingly said, "This junior has offended Your Excellency's beloved disciple in the past. I will definitely bring generous gifts to apologize in the future and earnestly request Your Excellency to grant my marriage to Junior Sister Song."
Before Venerable Xueqiao could speak, the brat beside him retorted indignantly.
"Please, my foot, don't even think about marriage. Nothing happened between us."
Only a low chuckle came from the depths of darkness.
"Master, nothing really happened between him and me!"
Even Venerable Xueqiao didn't want to speak after hearing Song Chi's words. The lingering aura of purity in her eyes indicated that nothing had actually happened. However, her previous inappropriate advances towards that brat Hua Shalan were undeniable facts.
He never expected that he would be so anxious and worried for the past two weeks, fearing that this brat might suffer some kind of harm.
Who would have thought that after Shu Bai used a precious teleportation scroll to get to this immortal manor, this is what he found!
That brat probably didn't suffer any loss. But that Hua family brat is definitely not a good person; he must have seduced her first, which is why she almost fell for his trick.
This can be seen from the fact that she was covered in love potion, suggesting that she may have been poisoned by some kind of love potion before.
Oh well, it's good that I didn't suffer any losses.
