Chapter 155: Big Harvest! Treasure Combination

Chapter 155: Big Harvest! Treasure Combination

Qin Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke, growing increasingly agitated.

His gaze was fixed intently on Scarlet Thorn, with an expression as if he would tear her to shreds in the next moment!

However, not only did Scarlet Thorn not feel fear, but instead, she felt an inexplicable, secret joy in her heart.

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, she kept a straight, pretty face and said indignantly, "I don't know what happened between you and Su Youyu, but I can tell you for certain that when the Three Thousand Weak Waters flooded the desolate island, I jumped into the water of my own volition. For some reason, Long Chen made me get ashore while he immersed himself in the Three Thousand Weak Waters to withstand the bone-chilling cold."

"The raft, too, was crafted by Long Chen alone. After I met him, the closest we ever were was within ten feet while paddling the raft."

"How could there be any connection between us? Do you think I, Scarlet Thorn, am some kind of promiscuous woman who would sleep with anyone!?"

【The Daughter of Luck, Scarlet Thorn's favorability towards the host has increased. The host is rewarded with +10000 Villain Points!】

Hearing the notification of the reward, Qin Xuan knew exactly what was going on.

He naturally knew that it was impossible for Scarlet Thorn to have any substantial relationship with Long Chen.

Her status as a Daughter of Luck alone confirmed that she kept herself pure.

To be realistic, from the moment he obtained Scarlet Thorn, it was destined that she could never have any intimate relationship with other men.

If forced, Scarlet Thorn would undoubtedly choose death over submission!

However, this did not hinder Qin Xuan's accusations.

He wanted to make Scarlet Thorn unable to defend herself!

Since they first met, he had always been bullying Scarlet Thorn, keeping her in a 'passive' emotional state.

If he wanted to completely crush Scarlet Thorn in a legitimate way, how could he succeed without finding some 'grievances'?

Fabricating grievances out of thin air was fine too.

As long as he could keep the upper hand in their emotional dynamic, Qin Xuan was tireless!

"Heh! You sure know how to spout nonsense."

Qin Xuan sneered and then glanced at Scarlet Thorn with contempt, "I heard it all. That guy Long Chen told you to hide in the cave. If there's nothing between you and him, why would you want to hide from me?"

"If you have no feelings for him, why would you hide in this cave with him!?"

Scarlet Thorn immediately took out the azure orb and retorted loudly, "Because he had this treasure on him!"

"Even if Long Chen is injured, I am no match for him. Trying to forcibly take the treasure was like a pipe dream. I had intended to take this orb when he wasn't paying attention, but I never expected him to gift it to me."

"Just because he has feelings for me, must I reciprocate? Long Chen used to pursue Shangguan Si, why didn't I see you questioning Shangguan Si?"

Scarlet Thorn felt very aggrieved; Long Chen had always been a fervent pursuer of Shangguan Si.

She didn't see Qin Xuan questioning Shangguan Si, yet when she encountered this situation, she was targeted in every way.

Just because she didn't have a father in the Saint King Realm, she had to be treated differently!?

Qin Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder Scarlet Thorn was indifferent to Long Chen's bootlicking behavior.

It turned out she knew about Long Chen's dark history.

That made a lot of sense.

Scarlet Thorn's reasoning was nothing more than: what Shangguan Si didn't want, she didn't want either.

It really lived up to the famous saying: a bootlicker ends up with nothing.

Tsk!

Qin Xuan shook his head with emotion, then stared at the orb in Scarlet Thorn's hand, "What is this?"

Scarlet Thorn tossed the orb to Qin Xuan with disdain, "I don't know. I only knew you wanted it, so I seized an opportunity to take it from Long Chen. Since he gifted it to me, it's mine, and now it's yours."

Qin Xuan weighed the azure orb, and the moment it touched his hand, he was greatly shocked.

Water-Avoiding Orb!

This azure orb was not an ordinary Water-Avoiding Orb, but one born within the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

It allowed the holder to remain unaffected within the Three Thousand Weak Waters.

It allowed them to use their Yuan energy without any worries, like a fish in water!

If it were just a simple Water-Avoiding Orb, it would be of little use, but if paired with a water bottle used to hold the Three Thousand Weak Waters...

That would be a Heaven-Defying treasure combination.

Just imagine, when the Three Thousand Weak Waters flood, even someone as strong as those in the Saint King Realm would be unable to mobilize their Saint power in the water, left to be slaughtered.

Yet, with the Water-Avoiding Orb in his possession, not to mention the slight boost in combat power, just the condition of being able to use Yuan energy...

Killing those Saints and Saint Kings would be as easy as cutting vegetables!

"Too Heaven-Defying!"

Qin Xuan didn't bother with politeness and quickly stored this great weapon inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

He then looked at Scarlet Thorn before him, his eyes filled with lewdness, "Why did you want to take this orb from Long Chen for me? Could it be..."

His gaze became increasingly playful.

It made a chill run down Scarlet Thorn's back.

She quickly explained, "Previously in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, you saved the Hidden Kill members, so I already owed you a favor. This orb is just to repay that favor!"

"Don't let your imagination run wild, and certainly don't misunderstand!"

"Is that so?" Qin Xuan stepped forward, closing in on Scarlet Thorn, and reached out to wrap his arms around her slender, willow-like waist as she tried to back away.

He used his fingers to pinch her exquisite chin and slowly lifted it.

He stared into Scarlet Thorn's cold, beautiful eyes, which were now beginning to dodge his gaze, and said playfully, "Why do I feel that while I was jealous of Long Chen, you were also jealous of Su Youyu?"

"Could it be that you, too, have developed feelings for me that you cannot let go of?"

Speaking was a delicate art. For a female assassin like Scarlet Thorn, who was indifferent to human life and had an icy personality...

If you came at her hard, forcing her to admit if she had feelings for him, even if you used all ten of the most brutal tortures...

Scarlet Thorn would rather die miserably than admit it.

But before questioning her, he had first admitted his own inner feelings, which made Scarlet Thorn feel much more at ease.

Naturally, she wouldn't resist so endlessly anymore.

"I'm asking you a question!" Qin Xuan moved his face closer, staring at Scarlet Thorn's dodging gaze.

Just as Scarlet Thorn was filled with shame and had nowhere to hide, Long Chen's voice sounded from outside the cave, "That insidious bastard Qin Xuan, when it came time to fight for real, he didn't know where to hide. If I catch him, I will surely tear him to shreds!"

Scarlet Thorn panicked and broke free from Qin Xuan, her beautiful eyes full of tension as she said, "You must leave here quickly. Long Chen is wielding the Tianya Sword and has obtained the Legacy of the Tianya Sword Pavilion; even if he is severely injured, he is not easy to deal with."

"If the fight between the two of you draws the attention of outsiders, it is very likely that you will be driven into a desperate situation with enemies on all sides!"

Qin Xuan not only did not avoid it, but instead actively pressed against Scarlet Thorn's body—which had become increasingly plump under his efforts—from behind.

He leaned over to her ear and blew a breath of air, "You are worried about me. You have feelings for me, don't you?"

At the same time, outside the cave, Long Chen's footsteps drew closer, and his voice became increasingly gentle, as if afraid of offending the beauty, "Scarlet Thorn, you don't need to hide anymore. That guy Qin Xuan doesn't know where he fled to; he won't appear again."

"Don't come in!"

Scarlet Thorn shouted sternly, her voice trembling.

Qin Xuan didn't know where he fled to?

He was right there in the cave, right under her nose, pressed against her back.

His palm was also pressed against her buttocks, wanton and bold.

Suddenly, feeling her long skirt being lifted, Scarlet Thorn's whole body trembled. Her beautiful eyes were filled with terror, and for the first time ever, she said with alarm, "This guy, he wouldn't want to do it here..."
