Quan Si walked forward, wanting to put his arm around Shangguan Xi's shoulder, but she dodged without batting an eye, leaving Quan Si's hand empty-handed. "Brother Quan Si, why don't you take me to find my senior sister? I haven't seen her in so long, I miss her so much."
Shangguan Qi softened her tone, gently tugging at his sleeves with both hands. Her compassion and masculine desire for conquest surged forth, and she wore a determined expression. "Don't worry," she said, "if you ask, little sister, I'll definitely do it for you, only..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shangguan Xi looked at him with starry eyes and interrupted him, "Really? I'm so happy! Thank you, Fourth Brother Quan. How can you be so kind? If we get out of here, who will be your fiancée? You'll be so lucky!"
When Shangguan Xi spoke the second half of her sentence, there was still some regret and expectation in her voice. In Quan Si's eyes, this was a clear hint that he should say what she meant. But because of this, Quan Si was not in a hurry. He smiled and patted Shangguan Xi's head, his eyes full of affection, "What my little sister wants, I will naturally get for you."
Quan Si completely forgot what he was about to say, focusing only on how to help Shangguan Xi. Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi were secretly observing, marveling at Shangguan Xi's masterful deception skills, "Senior Sister Shangguan is too cunning, she can fool people with just a few words."
Fu Ziyi held a fan, waving it slowly and deliberately, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Compared to Baili Xiuwen beside him, his face was beaming with joy.
Baili Xiuwen remained silent, his face expressionless, as if someone owed him eight million.
Quan Si took Shangguan Xi away. He wasn't that stupid, nor would he release Xu Yuehuai from that place. What he was saying now was just a little trick to fool people.
The two people standing next to him thought he was really going to do something foolish, and their eyes were filled with worry. While Shangguan Xi went to pick up the ball of light, they leaned close to Quan Si and whispered, "This woman is not simple. She knows charm magic. Don't be fooled by her. Perhaps all your goodwill and trust towards her now comes from her charm magic."
If Shangguan Xi were here and heard these words, she would definitely praise the person who said them, because she guessed right. She used charm magic to make Quan Si automatically ignore the loopholes in her words, treat her like a treasure, hold her in the palm of his hand, and agree to whatever she said.
As for why she didn't target everyone around him, it's because it's no fun with too many people. She wanted to focus all her charm energy on one person. That way, no matter what others said, he wouldn't believe them. He would only think that they were trying to sow discord among them, which would lead to annoyance and rifts.
As expected, Quan Si's expression turned ugly after the man finished speaking. He looked at the man with seriousness and warning in his eyes, "Don't talk about her like that. She's not that kind of girl. Where does that leave her face?"
For a moment, the man's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit. He glanced at Quan Si's expression and, after confirming that he was not joking, realized that Quan Si was likely bewitched.
He raised his hand, trying to bring Quan Si to his senses, but in Quan Si's eyes, he looked like he wanted to hit him and Shangguan Xi viciously. Quan Si's face turned ugly, and he slapped the man hard across the face. "Are you not listening to what I'm saying anymore? Don't forget who you are! Just do your job! Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Quan Si spoke with exaggerated gestures, completely disregarding the increasingly dark expression on the man's face. Ultimately, under Quan Si's threatening gaze, the man could only retreat sheepishly, gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger.
Although Shangguan Xi couldn't hear what they were saying, Quan Si's voice and movements were loud enough that all of their words undoubtedly reached her ears, and for a moment, a smug look appeared in Shangguan Xi's eyes.
This is the effect she wanted: believing in yourself is never as good as believing in a man's sincerity.
At first, she feigned coquetry to lure Quan Si into a trap, and later she feigned coquetry to hide her identity and prevent them from noticing anything amiss.
After retrieving the orb of light, Shangguan Xi returned to Quan Si's side, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Brother, were you arguing about me just now? Should I leave?"
Upon hearing this, Quan Si hurriedly grabbed Shangguan Xi's hand and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. What happened just now has nothing to do with you. We just had a little argument because we disagreed. Did it affect you?"
His tone was gentle and soft, as if he was worried that if he raised his voice, he would frighten Shangguan Xi.
The existence of charm is to make all the love of the person in front of you, and what you think is love, be poured onto one person. Love is a mysterious thing. If there is only a little love, perhaps in minor disasters and difficulties, the other person will let go of your hand and seek survival on their own. If there is a little more love, perhaps in sudden danger, the other person will hold your hand and leave together. If there is even more love, love to the bone, then you will be willing to resist anything for that person, and make the most altruistic choice under the sliver of reason.
In order to keep things from becoming too obvious, Shangguan Xi only wanted Quan Si to love him deeply. He had his own consciousness and thoughts, which were all subconscious reactions and could not be faked.
The group traveled together, and Shangguan Xi had a very easy time along the way. She stood in the middle of the group, and when they encountered spirit beasts, the people around her would go forward to deal with them, while she would happily follow behind to pick up the light orbs.
Everyone despised her, but no one dared to say anything. So, despite their reluctance, they had no choice but to comply. When they saw that all the spoils of their killings had ended up in Shangguan Xi's hands, those people gritted their teeth.
Quan Si ignored everyone's thoughts and walked with Shangguan Xi. However, after walking for a while, Shangguan Xi's expression turned sour, and he muttered, "Brother Quan Si, why haven't we found Senior Sister yet? Don't you know where she is? Why don't we split up and look for her? That way we can save some time."
Shangguan Xi wanted to get away. If it weren't for a few people in her way, she would probably have just said goodbye and left.
Upon hearing this, Quan Si's face showed anxiety. He tried to stop Shangguan Xi, "I know where she is. She's not here, she's somewhere else..."
"Senior Brother Quan Si!" Someone interrupted Quan Si, their face serious. "We should leave. If the Valley Master finds out we're slacking off like this, he'll probably be very angry."
