Chapter 2118
Upon hearing the words "I truly want to thank you," Xia Jiuyou's struggles gradually lessened. She raised her head, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her clear eyes staring directly into Chen Xuan's, as if trying to discern the truth in his words: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Xuan released Xia Jiuyou's waist, but didn't let go of her wrist with his other hand. He gently pulled her to the Eight Immortals Table in the side hall.
Two still-warm cups of immortal wine remained on the table. He picked up the wine pot and poured two cups, his tone somewhat tentative: "However, it's so late, and it's not safe outside. Why don't you stay tonight?"
"I knew it! You despicable scoundrel, take this!" Xia Jiuyou's anger, which she had just suppressed, flared up again. With a flick of her wrist, her divine sword, emitting a chilling light, was drawn from its sheath with a "hum." A cold sword light pierced straight at Chen Xuan's face—he had just been speaking so formally about the gift, but then he revealed his true nature. It was infuriating!
"Hey, hey, hey, don't rush to attack!" Chen Xuan pinched the blade precisely between his fingers, the cold air from the sword traveling up his fingertips. He rolled his eyes helplessly.
"I wanted you to stay, have a drink with me, and discuss our upcoming plans—what are you so nervous about?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xia Jiuyou's pretty face flushed slightly upon hearing this. With a flick of her wrist, the divine sword disappeared with a "whoosh." However, due to nervousness, her chest was still rising and falling slightly.
Seeing that this despicable bastard was still grinning at him like an idiot.
Xia Jiuyou suddenly paused, looking down at her reddened fingertips—only then did she realize that ever since she got involved with Chen Xuan, she seemed to be getting more and more irritable. The image of the aloof and self-possessed saintess she used to be was almost gone because of this bastard, and she could hardly recognize herself anymore.
Chen Xuan pushed a cup of celestial wine in front of her, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "It's not too late to talk about it now. Come, have a cup to warm yourself up, and let's have a good chat about where to find opportunities next."
Xia Jiuyou looked at the wine glass on the table, and then at the sincerity in Chen Xuan's eyes. In the end, she did not refuse again. She reached out and picked up the wine glass. When her fingertips touched the warm glass, her heart beat a beat faster for no reason.
As the candlelight flickered, Chen Xuan began to analyze the current situation of the Devouring Demon Star Void, while Xia Jiuyou watched Chen Xuan quietly, her eyes becoming increasingly complicated.
Xia Jiuyou
After Chen Xuan's analysis, Xia Jiuyou did not reveal her thoughts. However, she did not want to continue exploring the various forbidden areas of Xingxu. During this adventure, she had already obtained the 'Creation Innate Spiritual Liquid' for cultivating the Immortal Ancient Holy Scripture, and now she had unexpectedly obtained a piece of Seven-Colored Immortal Gold.
After that, with the help of the Creation Elixir, her "Thousand Yuan Sacred Scripture" will soon be completed. At that time, with the help of this piece of Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, her divine sword will surely lay the foundation for a divine weapon of the Dao. There is no need to take any more risks.
After Xia Jiuyou hesitated and expressed her thoughts, Chen Xuan was somewhat disappointed. Of course, this feeling might be because Xia Jiuyou and his Daoist partner Qiu Zixian were too similar, and he instinctively wanted to be with his Daoist partner.
“In that case, I won’t force you.” Chen Xuan picked up his wine cup and said, “I will leave this place early tomorrow morning to find Zi Xian. Since she entered this realm, her location has never moved. I’m worried that she’s trapped in some kind of dangerous place.”
When Chen Xuan brought up Qiu Zixian, Xia Jiuyou felt incredibly awkward. She had originally intended to separate her primordial spirit to become Qiu Zixian, so that she could travel and experience the hundred lifetimes of love tribulations on her behalf, and then merge with her to directly overcome the Dao-merging love tribulation. However, this was not the case, and now Qiu Zixian had completely escaped her control.
The atmosphere in the side hall was somewhat oppressive at the moment, but in the end Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but look up at Chen Xuan and ask, "Do you really care about her that much? You have also gained a lot now, and she is just a wisp of my primordial spirit."
Chen Xuan knew what Xia Jiuyou was going to say, and waved his hand, saying, "It was all by chance that sparks flew between us, but no matter what, she is my acknowledged Daoist partner, and no matter what, I will find her and bring her back."
