Chapter 65 Princess 3 Senior Brother, I really like you (in quotation marks...)
"You mean, Her Highness the Princess made you transform four or five times to show her, but in the end she still didn't accept you as her pet?"
Staring at Yunxi with an extremely oppressive gaze, Yunlan felt ashamed and indignant, "I had no choice! Her Highness doesn't like me, I... I even let her touch my true form..."
As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, as he was embarrassed to repeat such an embarrassing thing.
His Highness seemed very curious about his transformation process, asking many questions about the details and even touching his scales.
For the demon race, this was already a very intimate contact. Yunlan initially thought it meant the princess had accepted him, but he didn't expect her to watch with such relish and then simply let him leave...
Yunlan felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and her eyes welled up with tears again.
"Alright, alright, what's with all the crying? I think it's because you're not good-looking enough. Your Highness really did inherit the Snake King's discerning eye." Yunxi stroked her chin with a deep expression. It seemed that becoming a beast pet was not an option, but she was still waiting for a reply from the Snake King, so she couldn't worry about that now!
Yunxi was straightforward: "Tomorrow, go and invite Her Highness over alone. I will tell her her identity directly, so that we can bring Her Highness back to the Snake Clan as soon as possible!"
I advise you not to act rashly.
A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the room. As soon as the words were spoken, a flash of white light appeared, and Tian Li, dressed in a light blue robe, appeared in front of them.
"The person dressed in all white actually changed clothes? That's strange..."
Tian Li pretended not to hear Yun Lan's whispered words. He looked at Yun Xi and smiled, "The Guixu Secret Realm has appeared, and the only key is in her hands."
"How do you know?" Yunxi asked warily, "What did you do to Her Highness?! Don't think that just because you have the title of fiancé you can approach her with ill intentions!"
So what if the High Priest has a noble status? No matter how noble it is, it only applies to the Deer Clan. The Snake Clan doesn't care!
Tian Li raised his right hand, palm facing inward, and slightly raised his five fingers. Streams of light emanated from his fingertips, converging into a cold, sharp ice needle. But the ice needle was only the surface. Upon closer inspection, one could discover that this ice needle was actually a small sword formed from condensed ice, extremely delicate and exquisitely crafted.
"You must know who seriously injured Rong Jun, right?"
Yunxi frowned. "You mean that Frost Sword Master Li Shuang? But she left the Demon Realm many years ago. What does this have to do with her?"
"She lives in seclusion at the Jade Cloud Sect in the Eastern Pole, and your princess is a disciple of the Jade Cloud Sect."
"Do you think it's just a coincidence that she came to the demon realm at this time? Besides, she used the magic weapon of the Frost Sword Master when she fought Rong Jun."
Seeing Yunxi's expression relax slightly, Tianli knew that the other party understood his meaning. A snake who became the Snake King's bodyguard at such a young age was certainly not a stupid snake.
Just as Tian Li was about to persuade the snake clan to cooperate with his plan, Yun Xi suddenly glared at him angrily, "You still have time to pay attention to these things, so you were able to deal with the tiger clan general Fu Shen with ease, right?! At that time, His Highness was in danger, and you clearly had the ability to help, but you stood by and did nothing. I will remember this! I will definitely tell His Highness in the future so that she can see your true colors!"
Yunlan was also furious. At the time, they were fighting against the demons. Although they had been paying attention to His Highness's situation, Rong Jun's final attack was too sudden and caught them off guard. Fortunately, His Highness was safe and sound.
"..."
Tian Li withdrew the ice needles. "In any case, she will definitely enter the Guixu Secret Realm. If she returns to the Snake Clan now, it is hard to guarantee that the return of the Snake Clan princess will not be leaked. The more attention she receives, the more dangerous her situation will be. It is better to wait until the Guixu Secret Realm's relics have been assigned before making any plans."
"Do you even need to tell me?" Yunxi said proudly. "If we can even get our hands on the key, the relics are naturally our Highness's!"
As she left, Tian Li's usual gentle smile almost faltered. This was the reason why the Deer Clan and the Snake Clan had become less close in recent years. Ever since the Snake King, who was fond of beautiful women, ascended the throne, the entire Snake Clan had become strange and utterly incomprehensible, making them difficult to communicate with!
In another room on the third floor, Xu Xing sat upright with his hands neatly placed on his knees. Facing the intimidating gazes of the three beasts and one person in the room, he dared not utter a sound.
"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!"
Tuanzi was the first to lose her temper and complain, "How long has it been since you touched my fur?! I'm still angry! And you actually want to get a new pet?!"
"roar--"
Qing followed closely behind, asking, "Why didn't you take us with you to fight?"
Even the usually gentle Yin Xue disagreed, "Master, we are not weaklings who need your protection. The mission of contracted beasts is always to protect their master."
"No, no, I don't want any new pets."
"No, no, we'll let you do it next time."
"Okay, okay..."
Xu Xing repeatedly assured her, stroked Tuanzi's fur, then touched Qing, and finally smoothed Yin Xue's horns before she could appease the three beasts. After the three beasts returned to the spirit beast tablet, she immediately slumped to the side and collapsed onto the bed as if she had no bones.
It's exhausting for her! Three snakes are already so difficult, how could she dare to raise another one?
Shen Du couldn't discern the meaning from the cries of the three contracted beasts, but he could guess what they were trying to say. Compared to them, he remained calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.
He glanced at the starflowers on the table, still exuding their fragrance, and asked slowly, "Is that brocade snake pretty?"
Xu Xing thought for a moment. Yunlan's original form was black, with cloud-like markings on its snake body; it was indeed quite beautiful...
However, having learned from the experience of the three beasts, even though she knew her senior brother wouldn't care about these things, she still cautiously said, "It's fine as it is, I didn't look at it closely."
You clearly looked at it over and over again, carefully and thoroughly, from beginning to end, and even had the other person demonstrate the transformation process again and again. If this is not considered a careful look, then what is?
If the other party hadn't been so considerate and had been properly covered by clothing, he definitely would have shown up to stop them.
Shen Du didn't expose her, but his tone became a little more serious, "The demon race is proud by nature, and very few are willing to be beast pets. The other party is so straightforward, perhaps there is another purpose. We should not let our guard down so easily."
"..."
Xu Xing looked utterly dejected, knowing that her senior brother was going to scold her too!
She said dejectedly, "I just..."
I just wanted to learn how to transform.
If she is human, why does she have snake scales? If she is a demon, why doesn't she have a demon core and can't transform?
Xu Xing didn't say it, but she was actually very concerned about this matter. Although she didn't care whether she was human or demon, and could even convince herself to accept being a ghost, what she feared most was...
She is nothing.
Xu Xing was not entirely unaware of the abnormality in his body.
Seeing her dejected expression, Chen Du's heart softened, and he said softly, "Don't worry, your background will be found out eventually. I'll stay with you."
Xu Xing was taken aback. Sure enough, her senior brother had known all along that she wasn't human. She sat up, her hands unconsciously gripping the fabric of her clothes on her knees. "Senior brother, do you think I'm a snake?"
“I can’t be sure, but I suspect that the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum in Xiahe Village back then might have been left to you by a high-level snake clan cultivator.”
“The snake clan members who checked into this inn came for you. The cultivator named Yunlan just now spoke of you with great respect. They didn’t acknowledge you, so they must be worried about something. Let’s pretend we don’t know and wait and see.”
She nodded slowly, then wondered why he had suddenly changed his tune. "But didn't you just say that you were deliberately getting close to him, perhaps with some ulterior motive?"
"..."
Chen Du paused slightly, picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, giving her a rather stern look. "Even if he didn't have bad intentions, are all snakes like that? I'm just reminding you that you can't be too careful about being wary of demons."
Xu Xing regretted asking the question as soon as she finished. She had just coaxed her senior brother, and now she was saying such things. Wasn't she deliberately trying to upset him? She shrank back, regretting that she had asked that question without noticing the momentary unease in Shen Du's expression before he spoke.
The next day, when Xu Xing went downstairs, he encountered Tian Li, who was wearing a turquoise belted robe, on the way upstairs.
"Xu Xing?" Tian Li seemed a little surprised and greeted him gently, "What a coincidence, so you live here too."
"High Priest."
Xu Xing nodded politely. As she passed by, she glanced at Tian Li's clothes a few more times. The clothes were elegant in color and had a good cut. They were obviously made of high-quality materials. She couldn't help but look at them a few more times. She thought of her long-neglected sewing skill and wondered why she had nothing to do recently and might as well try making a couple of magic robes.
If he had had a highly protective robe, his senior brother wouldn't have been scratched on the back by Rong Jun, right?
Tianli turned around to watch her go downstairs, recalling the way she had looked at him earlier, and thought to himself, "It seems I really need to change my clothes more often..."
Yunxi, who had been watching the whole thing from the doorway, strode over, bumping into Tianli hard. She gave him a cold glare and left with the comment, "This outfit makes you look dark!"
Following behind, Yunlan scratched his head. He actually thought it looked pretty good, much better than the one his boss bought him yesterday, but he didn't dare say it.
Looking back a few more times, Yunlan thought, "Why don't I go buy one too? Maybe His Highness will give me a second glance!"
After breakfast, Xu Xing invited Zhao Linglan to stroll around Luocang City together, visiting the medicine shop, the magical weapon shop, and finally the magic robe shop.
"You're going to make your own robes?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise. "Why did you suddenly decide to make this?"
"Since I had nothing better to do, I thought I'd give it a try."
Xu Xing pulled her into the largest shop in the Immortal Clothing Pavilion. It has to be said that the magic robes of the demon realm are more beautiful than those of the human realm. Moreover, most demons have superior appearances, and when paired with these exquisitely crafted clothes, they are even more captivating.
Xu Xing hadn't been browsing for long when he selected several kinds of materials.
Light gauze, spirit armor, celestial silk...
Xu Xing spent three or four thousand mid-grade spirit stones just on purchasing the materials for the robes. Not satisfied, she went to the second floor, which was full of women's robes, to pick out ready-made clothes. She not only bought some for herself, but also picked out two sets for Zhao Linglan.
The female demon following behind them softly introduced, "This garment is made of Kan Shui satin, which is most suitable for water-type cultivators. It can not only greatly accelerate the absorption of water spirits, but also resist fire attacks. Even in the hottest polar desert, you will not feel any heat."
Zhao Linglan was only nineteen years old. Although she was focused on cultivation, she had not yet reached the point of being indifferent to material gains. She quite liked this elegant robe and was tempted when she heard that it was suitable for water-type cultivators. However, she was surprised to find out that the robe cost two thousand mid-grade spirit stones!
Zhao Linglan was shocked and secretly tugged at Xu Xing's sleeve, whispering, "I... I didn't bring many spirit stones this time..."
She didn't even have two thousand spirit stones in all her possessions! That's way too expensive!
Xu Xing, who had taken a lot of spirit stones from the demonic cultivators in the Exploration Realm, patted her hand to indicate that she didn't need to worry, and then said directly to the receptionist demoness, "Wrap it up."
"Fairy, you have excellent taste!" The enchantress Huanqing, who was already patiently receiving guests, suddenly lit up with even more enthusiasm. "May I ask what kind of spiritual power you cultivate, fairy? I can recommend a suitable robe for you."
"Hmm... Do you have any robes that can support all five elemental powers?"
The succubus nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! This way, fairy!"
After buying two sets of robes for himself and Zhao Linglan, Xu Xing went to the third floor where men's robes were sold. According to the rules of the Immortal Robe Pavilion, guests on the third floor were to be received by the corresponding male demons. However, seeing that the two female cultivators were dressed plainly and had low cultivation, the male demons did not offer to replace the female demons in receiving them, and let the female demons in charge of the second floor take Xu Xing and Zhao Linglan to the third floor.
Seeing that the group had wandered around several times without buying anything, the male demons scoffed and were even more glad that they hadn't spoken up. Otherwise, it would have been a waste of time to accompany two customers who didn't buy anything on their aimless wandering.
After looking at the currently popular styles of robes several times and even touching them a couple of times, Xu Xing was finally satisfied. Remembering that she still had a photo-recording stone in her bag, she politely asked the receptionist, "May I take a picture?"
"Auction?" The succubus paused, puzzled. "Does the fairy mean to hold an auction?"
She apologized, saying, "Our robes are sold directly; there is no auction system."
Xu Xing, who actually wanted to take a photo with the recording stone, suddenly remembered that there was no such thing as taking a photo to search for the same style in the cultivation world. Of course, she didn't need to ask. So she used the recording stone to note down a few nice-looking robes, planning to try to replicate the styles when she got back.
The succubus, who also assumed she wouldn't buy men's clothing and was just looking, waited quietly, showing no impatience. After all, the robes and materials Xu Xing had bought had already brought her a considerable commission.
Although the robes at the Immortal Robe Pavilion are exquisite, their prices are extremely high. Even among the more fashion-conscious demon race, few can afford them. The spirit stones sold today are almost equivalent to several days' worth in normal times.
"I'll take these."
Xu Xing pointed to three men's robes that she thought were most suitable for her senior brother.
"Okay, okay!" The succubus hadn't expected that she would buy the men's version too. She looked at Xu Xing with the same eagerness as if she were looking at a god of wealth. She was going to make a killing today!
"Wait!" A handsome male demon walked over and smiled at Xu Xing. "This fairy wants to see the men's style? To be honest, the third floor and the second floor are not the same. She doesn't know anything about the men's style either. Why don't I introduce it to you?"
The succubus's expression turned cold. She was envious. If she was going to entertain them, why didn't she say so when they went upstairs? Now she's trying to reap the benefits!
Despite her dissatisfaction, this was indeed the rule of the Fairy Robe Pavilion, and she could say nothing, so she could only lower her eyes and wait for Xu Xing's choice.
"No need, she explained everything in detail, I'll have her handle the reception."
The male demon still refused to give up, "But..."
Xu Xing was getting impatient. "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Sorry." The male demon retreated, looking aggrieved.
The succubus chuckled, her face full of gratitude. Remembering that the customer had just bought a lot of materials for making robes, she guessed that he might also want to try making them himself. So she whispered a reminder, "Fairy, if you want to make robes yourself, why not come back the day after tomorrow? Our best robe maker will be in the building then, and I will be happy to introduce you to him."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary."
Just like alchemy and weapon crafting, as long as there are enough materials, Xu Xing can use her sewing and forging skills to make all parts of the clothing. In addition, with the added effect of enchanting, not to mention the style, the magic robes she makes are definitely better than those on the market in terms of efficacy.
"By the way, do you accept Buddhist robes here?"
The succubus nodded. "Yes, we will. The tailor will assess the quality, effect, and style and give different prices accordingly."
So this guest is actually a tailor? The succubus thought to herself, no wonder she's so wealthy.
Although the status of clothing masters is not as prestigious as that of alchemists or weapon refiners, the wealth they earn is no less than theirs, and may even be more. Just look at the price of these robes, and you'll know that clothing masters make their fortunes quietly.
Thinking of this, the female demon who wanted to befriend her offered a wisp of her demonic spirit, saying, "My name is Huanqing. If you have any friends selling magic robes in the future, you can contact me."
Xu Xing hadn't initially thought about selling magic robes, but the feeling of casually squandering spirit stones was so enjoyable that she began to hope that more demonic cultivators would come knocking on her door in the future. That way, she could obtain a lot of resources just by fighting back, which would be much more profitable than selling pills and magic artifacts.
Xu Xing was shocked to realize that she had such a thought. How could she think like that? It was right to fight back against those with ill intentions, but she couldn't become addicted to this kind of method of quickly acquiring resources.
At first, it was about fighting back against evil cultivators, but what happened later?
The world of cultivation is full of temptations, especially for high-level cultivators with the power to manipulate events. A single wrong step can lead to entanglement in karma. Xu Xing dared not think too deeply about it and told herself that cultivation is about cultivating the mind. Even as a half-baked cultivator, she had to stick to her principles. It was more reassuring to earn money through her own skills.
"Lingling, would you like to pick out a couple of items for Senior Brother Xiang as well? I'll pay for them with spirit stones." Pushing aside his random thoughts, Xu Xing leaned close to Zhao Linglan's ear and whispered, "I got quite a few spirit stones in the secret realm, so don't worry about not having enough."
Zhao Linglan was somewhat puzzled. Even though she and Senior Brother Xiang were fellow disciples and had a good relationship, and Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Brother Zuoqiu usually treated her very well, they were male cultivators after all. Wasn't buying them robes a bit too intimate?
She still refused, saying, "I don't know what Senior Brother Xiang likes, so forget it."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Linglan tentatively asked, "You... did you buy all of these for Senior Brother Shen?"
Xu Xing, who didn't feel there was anything wrong with buying clothes, said frankly, "Yes, my senior brother certainly wouldn't come to buy clothes himself, so I might as well pick out a few for him."
Seeing that she was very natural and did not show any shyness or embarrassment, Zhao Linglan was not sure what she was thinking, so she did not ask any further questions. However, she secretly paid attention to Chen Du and Xu Xing when she saw them together.
Xu Xing and Zhao Linglan, who had become major customers of the Immortal Garment Pavilion after spending nearly 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones, were escorted back by a sedan chair carried by four strong male demons and two beautiful female demons sent by the pavilion.
Xu Xing leaned back in the sedan chair, eating fresh spirit fruit, and exclaimed, "It's so good to have so many spirit stones."
Therefore, she needs to work even harder to refine pills, craft weapons, and make clothes to earn spirit stones!
Zhao Linglan was still somewhat uneasy: "But this is too much money. How many pills could these spirit stones buy..."
"Have you forgotten? I'm an alchemist!" Xu Xing leaned on Zhao Linglan's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll refine more pills to earn spirit stones. You and Aunt Lian can just focus on your cultivation."
Mentioning Wang Lianhua, Zhao Linglan felt a little lost. "I miss my mother. This is the first time I've been away from her for so long. I really want to go back to Yuxiao soon..."
"Let go! Let go of me!"
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the sedan chair. Xu Xing lifted the curtain and peeked out, asking, "What happened?"
Huan Qing, who was following the sedan chair, went over to take a look and quickly returned to explain, "It's the Tiger Clan. The Tiger Clan of Luo Cang City was ordered to be expelled from the city a few days ago, but a few Tiger Clan members hid and didn't leave. They were just discovered, so the two sides started arguing."
Xu Xing knew that Luocang City was the territory of the Deer Clan, but he did not expect that ordinary Tiger Clan members would also be implicated. Why bother?
Xu Xing shook his head slightly, but had no intention of meddling in other people's business. After hearing the whole story, he lowered the curtain, but did not notice a golden light quickly slipping in.
Back at the restaurant, they stepped down from the magnificent sedan chair of the Immortal Robe Pavilion, accompanied by a group of handsome men and beautiful women. Unsurprisingly, they attracted the attention of some cultivators in the vicinity. Not only was Zhao Linglan visibly uncomfortable, but Xu Xing also regretted his impulsive decision to agree to let the Immortal Robe Pavilion escort them back.
This regret reached its peak when he saw Shen Du and Xiang Yuquan returning side by side, and just then he saw himself being helped off the sedan chair by the male demon.
Xu Xing quickly withdrew his hand, hastily picked out a small bag of spirit stones, and gave it to Huan Qing as a thank you for her thoughtful service. "Thank you for bringing us back. Go back now."
"Senior Brother Xiang..."
Xu Xing greeted him casually, but his voice softened slightly when facing Shen Du, "Senior Brother..."
Xiang Yuquan, standing to the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with interest. He was indeed "Senior Brother Xiang," but why was Chen Du directly called "Senior Brother"?
"Hmm." Shen Du nodded, said nothing more, and walked into the restaurant first.
Xu Xing subconsciously followed Shen Du inside, even though she herself didn't know why she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Zhao Linglan and Xiang Yuquan stood there, looking at each other for a long time, and then simultaneously revealed a knowing smile.
Xu Xing followed Shen Du into his room without any trouble. Yun Xi, who had been silently following Xu Xing all day without finding a chance to speak, gritted her teeth and punched Yun Lan, who was still touching her new robe, twice.
Yunlan, who was admiring the new clothes she had just bought from the Immortal Garment Pavilion, grumbled aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me? If you're so capable, go and hit that sword cultivator!"
"Hmm?" Yunxi's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her. "You're right!"
Huh? Yunlan's eyes widened as he watched Yunxi rush forward in three strides, staring blankly at him, thinking, "That's not what he meant..."
"Senior brother, I went to the spirit weapon shop today and bought you a spirit sword. See if it suits your needs."
Xu Xing took out the spirit sword he had bought for a full ten thousand spirit stones. "Until the Xuan Yue Sword is repaired, Senior Brother, why don't you use this one first?"
Seeing her avoidance of eye contact and the fact that she didn't even look at him when she handed him the sword, Chen Du found it somewhat amusing and said in a low voice, "You bought quite a lot of things today? No wonder they sent you back in a sedan chair. Do you have enough spirit stones?"
"Enough, enough!"
Seeing that his senior brother was not acting strangely, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Senior brother's spirit stones are all here with me, I won't save them for you."
"Yes, no need to be stingy, you can take as much as you want."
Shen Du took the spirit sword, drew it from its sheath, and a flash of cold light appeared. The sword's blade shone brightly. Without even testing it, he knew that this spirit sword was many times better than the one he had bought for a hundred spirit stones.
Thank you.
"Why are you being so polite with me, senior brother?" After hesitating for a moment, Xu Xing decided to first imbue the newly bought robe with spirit power before giving it to his senior brother.
Feeling a pang of sadness, Shen Du stared at Xu Xing for a long while before finally sending over the message he had received that day: "A letter from Mei Zihan."
Xu Xing looked up and exclaimed, "Is Shui Yunxian going to hold a grand alchemy competition?"
It turned out that Shuiyunxiandu would hold its once-in-a-decade alchemy competition in three days. In addition to the disciples of the sect, each disciple could invite an outside cultivator to participate as a teammate. Mei Zihan and his fellow disciples took this opportunity to invite Shen Du and Xu Xing to visit Shuiyunxiandu.
"That sounds interesting. I don't care about the competition, but I'd like to go and see Shuiyun Xiandu. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Shen Du remained noncommittal, then brought up another matter, "Three days from now, Junior Brother Xiang plans to bring Junior Sister Zhao back to the sect."
Xu Xing nodded. "It's good to go back early."
Do you want to return to your sect?
Xu Xing was taken aback, "But Senior Fu Shuang's matter hasn't been addressed yet..."
"The Guixu Secret Realm hasn't opened yet, so time isn't an issue. If you want to go back, we can go back first, or you can simply give the key to Sword Master Lishuang."
Wei Shengyue's strange attitude towards Xu Xing in the secret realm, the appearance of the snake clan, and the mysterious deer clan junior priest, all these things that Shen Du encountered in the demon realm gave him an ominous premonition, and he was somewhat reluctant to let Xu Xing stay here any longer.
Xu Xing remained silent for a long time, recalling Zhao Linglan's mention in the sedan chair earlier that day that she wanted to return to her clan. What was she thinking at that time?
Xu Xing knew perfectly well whether the person who lifted the curtain was attracted by the noise or wanted to avoid the topic.
She didn't want to go back.
"Senior brother, I really like you."
Upon hearing those words unexpectedly, a loud buzzing sound filled Shen Du's ears, his heart pounded so hard it nearly burst out of his chest, and he almost lost his balance. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with one hand, while his other hand, which was hanging in his sleeve, clenched into a fist. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult for him to speak.
After a long while, Shen Du calmed down a bit. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Xing say softly, "I also really like A Yao, Senior Brother Zuo Qiu, and Senior Wen. I really like Xuanjian Peak."
"..."
Chen Du fell silent, his fingers trembling as he loosened his grip. He noticed a slight sweat on his palms and a self-deprecating thought washed over him. How absurd! She knew nothing, yet he was expecting something...
"But I don't like the Thousand Machines Academy, nor do I like the Jade Cloud Sect. Senior Brother, I want to see what the Water Cloud Immortal Sect is like, and find out if all sects are like the Jade Cloud Sect."
"Okay, let's go to Shuiyun Xiandu."
"Knock knock!"
With a knock on the door, Yunxi's voice rang out from outside, "I've heard that Fellow Daoist Shen's swordsmanship is superb, so Yunxi from the Serpent Clan has come to learn from him!"
Chen Du looked away and said hurriedly, "I'll go take a look. You should go back to your room and rest first."
After the door opened, Yunxi glanced casually into the room. Seeing that the two seemed to have been discussing something without anything else, she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction. Hmph! I knew His Highness wouldn't be interested in this plain-looking sword cultivator!
She raised her chin at Chen Du, and said provocatively, "Fellow Daoist Chen, shall we meet outside the city?"
"Can."
Before Xu Xing could speak, the two transformed into streaks of light, flew out of the restaurant, and headed straight for the outskirts of Luocang City.
“You are only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. I won’t take advantage of you, so I will also suppress my cultivation to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.” Yunxi, who possessed the cultivation of the peak Golden Core realm, picked up her spear and said proudly, “Make your move!”
"To avoid an unfair victory, you should make the first move."
Yunxi retorted angrily, "How dare you look down on me at the early stage of the Golden Core realm? If you get injured later, don't go crying to her!"
Shen Du's expression turned cold. "That's exactly what I wanted to say. If I win, you are not allowed to bother her anymore."
"You're not qualified!"
Yunxi charged forward with her spear, but Shen Du remained silent, holding the spirit sword Xu Xing had given him. The excitement he had just felt and the desolation he had suddenly felt at the bottom of the valley all turned into sharp sword energy, with killing intent in every inch!
...
Half an hour later, in an open area outside the city, a long spear was driven into the ground. Yunxi leaned against the spear, wiping the blood from her lips. What a joke! How can serving Her Highness the Princess be called "entanglement"?
So she absolutely did not go back on her word, not at all!
-----------------------
The author says: Tian Li's "mysterious" smile is nothing short of naked jealousy.
Yunxi, who was knocked down: This damned sword cultivator must have been taking his anger out on me because he failed to confess his love!
