Chapter 151: The Exotic Beast Hiding Treasures

"You really are quite considerate!"

Tsk tsk!

Qin Xuan watched with great interest as Long Chen busied himself tying the two rafts together.

This kind of Child of Luck, from start to finish, was always the same pathetic type.

Whenever he saw a Daughter of Luck, he couldn't even move his feet.

Either he'd get a nosebleed, or he'd be lost in daydreams, fantasizing about a beautiful future, blah, blah, blah.

Little did he know, in front of Scarlet Thorn, who had already had intimate contact with him, this behavior of his was nothing but that of a total simp.

Of course, given Scarlet Thorn's cold and aloof personality, combined with her androphobia, it was naturally impossible for her to have any further emotional entanglements with Long Chen, and he wouldn't expose that.

He even decided to play along, looking at the cold and beautiful Scarlet Thorn with an indifferent expression as he probed, "I didn't expect that a True Disciple of the Tianya Sword Pavilion would actually be willing to act as a boatman for you. It seems you two must have had some unknown experiences on that deserted island last night."

"No! Long Chen and I are innocent; we have never had any intimate contact!"

Scarlet Thorn did not want to pay any attention to Qin Xuan.

But seeing the disgust in his eyes, it welled up from within her.

Words of rebuttal couldn't help but spill out.

She kept convincing herself that she wasn't explaining it to Qin Xuan, but simply didn't want to be wrongly accused for no reason!

Su Youyu clung to Qin Xuan's body, and the cold of the Weak Water was largely dispelled.

Only then did she step down from Qin Xuan's embrace, stand on the raft, and wave at Scarlet Thorn, saying, "No need to explain. We're all our own people here. I know better than anyone what it takes to resist the cold of the Weak Water."

On that deserted island, there wasn't even a place to stand.

Only by cuddling together could they keep each other warm.

Since both Long Chen and Scarlet Thorn had survived, it was easy to imagine what had happened.

Su Youyu assumed that Scarlet Thorn, just like her, had been taken advantage of completely.

She never would have thought that the only place to stand on the island had been destroyed by Qin Xuan.

Scarlet Thorn glared at Su Youyu with an angry, annoyed voice, "What nonsense are you spouting!?"

"Who is 'your own people'? How can you spout such nonsense about things you haven't even seen?"

Scarlet Thorn looked at Su Youyu with indescribable revulsion.

Especially seeing her shamelessly burrow into Qin Xuan's embrace, she felt a disgust that came from the bottom of her heart.

As a dignified Saintess of the Yaochi Sacred Land, she disregarded her reputation, clinging to a man and fawning over him in every way.

She seemed desperate to melt herself into Qin Xuan's arms; didn't she have even a shred of self-respect?

Qin Xuan raised his hand and spoke with a cold expression to stop them, "There is no need to argue any further. I am not interested in what happened between you and Long Chen. Considering that Long Chen is pushing the raft forward, I will not conflict with you for the time being."

【The Daughter of Luck, Scarlet Thorn, is experiencing intense emotional fluctuations, feeling that she has been greatly wronged. Reward the Host with 8000 Villain Points!】

With the reward received, Qin Xuan became even clearer that Scarlet Thorn and Long Chen were innocent.

He stopped looking at Scarlet Thorn, pulled Su Youyu over, and sat on the raft together to continue moving forward.

It was unknown how much time had passed, with day and night alternating for several cycles.

Even with Long Chen's Sword Heart Physique, he could not withstand the erosion of the Weak Water for several days, collapsing at the edge of the raft several times, gasping for breath to recover his strength.

Once he recovered, he saw the isolated Scarlet Thorn sitting alone at the front of the raft, looking cold and aloof.

He pushed the raft even harder to leave the Weak Water zone.

He had to leave this place!

Once he recovered his Yuan power, he would be the first to kill Qin Xuan and vent the pent-up anger in Scarlet Thorn's heart!

Finally, as the sky began to brighten, Qin Xuan noticed that in the far distance ahead, the color of the water surface had changed.

Like well water not encroaching on river water, two sources of water with different colors were constantly clashing at the boundary.

In that expanse of giant waves where the color had become normal, there was a shocking giant creature, like a Kraken from Cthulhu mythology, using countless tentacles covered in sharp teeth and maws to entangle a massive Dragon, strangling and devouring it.

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li noticed the scene in the distance and exclaimed, "That is an exotic creature from within the Weak Water, a rare beast capable of growing by relying on the Weak Water. If it can be slaughtered, one will surely obtain extraordinary treasures!"

She still remembered that in the former Mingyue Dynasty, a Prodigy had killed an exotic beast at the Heavenly Human Realm when leaving the Weak Water.

The Heavenly Human Realm Treasure Artifact obtained was actually able to shatter a Sacred Artifact.

It was as if it carried the power of the Weak Water to suppress Yuan power and corrode the Origin of Sacred Artifacts.

"That exotic beast has the cultivation of the Saint Realm Peak. If it can be killed and a Sacred Artifact obtained, it might be able to contend with a quasi-emperor artifact!"

Leng Li urged him, attaching indescribable importance to the treasure born from the exotic beast's body.

Qin Xuan cut the vines binding the rafts and smiled at Long Chen, "Let's part ways here. No need to see me off."

Immediately, he had Su Youyu get into the water to push the raft, quickly heading towards the exotic beast.

"Bastard!" Long Chen gritted his teeth in hatred.

Ever since the Tianya Sword Pavilion was destroyed, he had obtained the Sword Pavilion's treasure vault given by his Master.

Before coming to the Land of Fallen Emperors, he had studied ancient texts and naturally knew what the exotic beasts near the Weak Water represented.

They were symbols of treasure!

"You want to ditch me? Dream on!"

He pushed the raft and urged Scarlet Thorn, "Sit tight. Let's go meet that exotic beast together. We might just obtain some extremely rare treasures!"

Having been left out until now, Scarlet Thorn turned back and said softly, "I'm tired. I don't want to have any more disputes with Qin Xuan. Let's leave them."

With just one glance, she recognized that the exotic beast's cultivation was at the Saint Realm Peak.

Even for Qin Xuan, it would likely be very difficult to suppress it.

If Long Chen were to rush over and pressure Qin Xuan at this time...

With a pincer attack, Qin Xuan might just get injured.

She told herself that she was doing this not out of concern for Qin Xuan, but because she owed Qin Xuan a favor from earlier in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm and didn't want to kick him while he was down!

Long Chen gritted his teeth, watched Qin Xuan's receding back, and made a difficult decision, "Fine! We will leave in the opposite direction."

He was unwilling to go against Scarlet Thorn's wishes.

At the time when Scarlet Thorn needed comfort the most, which was also when her heart was at its weakest, he wanted to be extra attentive to her well-being.

The two headed in another direction, moving away from the Weak Water.

Before long, giant waves were also rolling in front of Long Chen and Scarlet Thorn.

In the giant waves, a Dragon with tentacles, over ten thousand zhang long, was constantly rolling its massive body, staring covetously at another exotic beast.

"Things will work out in the end; there is always a way forward!"

"This exotic beast, I, Long Chen, am determined to have it!"

Long Chen never expected that even after he had given up one treasure...

...he would unexpectedly encounter another exotic beast while leaving.

He was going to be rich!

Like he'd been injected with adrenaline, he kicked his legs frantically in the Weak Water, rushing desperately towards the Dragon.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of churning water behind him, he turned back and saw Su Youyu pushing the raft, rushing towards him. He immediately shouted angrily, "Qin Xuan, I have already given up competing with you! What are you doing coming here now?!"
