Chapter 29: A Young Girl's Heartbeats

"What a great halberd!"

Qin Xuan held the heavenly desolation halberd and casually threw it into the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

A High Grade Sacred Artifact halberd, along with the matching "Tianhuang True Solution".

Even to a Saint, this would be considered a great Opportunity!

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li, who was able to sense the outside world, suddenly felt the Sacred Artifact and "Tianhuang True Solution" thrown in from outside. She gasped in surprise, "The heavenly desolation halberd! Qin Xuan, what did you do? How did you manage to completely fool them in such a short time?"

She was dumbfounded.

When she first sensed Senior Sister Ziyuan, she could clearly detect the killing intent she carried.

She had clearly come with the intention of killing Qin Xuan.

Now, in just the span of a single day, how did this female assassin end up so close to Qin Xuan?

They were holding hands, and she had even gifted him an expensive High Grade Sacred Artifact and Halberd Saint Ming Yue's "Tianhuang True Solution"?

This Sacred Artifact and Cultivation Technique—no matter which one was thrown into the outside world, it would trigger a bloodbath of competition among Saints!

With a smile playing on his lips and a playful glint in his eyes, Qin Xuan said, "Resolving a crisis doesn't always require brute force. When your strength is inferior to the opponent's, you can use your brain a little."

Leng Li snorted in disdain. "That's because your skills are inferior. Your strength in the outside world is only at the Supernatural Realm. Once you leave the ancient prison-suppressing tower, anyone in the Heavenly Human Realm can ruthlessly crush you. If it were me, even if I only had a Saint Soul left, I could crush this insignificant person before you with a flip of my hand."

"I don't believe you. Do you even know who she is?"

"No matter who she is, this venerable one can suppress her with just one hand!"

Qin Xuan sneered, "I don't think a mere Quasi-Saint Realm Saint Soul like you can suppress a Heavenly Human Realm expert covered in Sacred Artifacts with just one hand."

"Not to mention, if you don't kill her within three breaths of time, the Peak Master of Wanzhen Peak and the Peak Master of Danding Peak from the Yaochi Sacred Land, as well as the Chief Saint Physician far away in the Ziyang Empire, will rush over desperately at all costs."

"At that time, facing at least three Saint Kings, would you still be able to be as arrogant as you are now? Even during your Peak period, you would have to yield to them, wouldn't you?"

Leng Li's face showed fear, and her gaze toward Senior Sister Ziyuan softened with emotion. "You mean this person in front of us is the daughter of that old geezer from the Ziyang Empire? She has the Cursed Poison Body! That armor of Sacred Artifacts is meant to prevent the aura of the Cursed Poison Body from leaking out. Are you crazy to provoke her? Let go of her hand quickly! Otherwise, on our way back, we might just be smashed into ashes by a meteor from the sky!"

The fact that Senior Sister Ziyuan possessed the Cursed Poison Body was widely known.

Back then, the Mingyue Dynasty wanted to exploit the matter of the Cursed Poison Body to secretly poach that old fellow, the Chief Saint Physician.

And the result?

The imperial relative of the Mingyue Dynasty who secretly made contact to propose marriage returned to the Mingyue Dynasty, and before he could even drink a cup of tea, a meteor from the sky smashed down, obliterating his entire estate.

Within the entire prince's residence, not a single person survived except for that expert at the Peak of the Saint Realm.

The horror of the Cursed Poison Body lies in the fact that the longer the contact and the closer the relationship, the more unbearable the consequences of its influence become.

Even Senior Sister Ziyuan's parents deliberately left her to grow up outside, fearing she would affect them.

Let alone Qin Xuan, who was merely in the Supernatural Realm?

"Little thief, you must not get close to the Cursed Poison Body. Otherwise, the danger will be unbearable."

Leng Li panicked. She had finally seen a glimmer of hope to live another life.

She was on the verge of being able to trample those old dogs of the Yaochi Sacred Land under her feet.

If Qin Xuan got too close to the Cursed Poison Body now and died prematurely,

her grievance would be comparable to snow falling in midsummer.

Qin Xuan scoffed, "I thought you, Leng Li, were truly fearless. But after all this drama, you're actually terrified of a mere Heavenly Human Realm Cursed Poison Body. I guess I overestimated you."

He couldn't be bothered to say more.

Stay away from Senior Sister Ziyuan?

That was impossible!

There were at least three Saint King Realm experts behind Senior Sister Ziyuan. Being close to her was equivalent to befriending the forces behind her. In the future, he would inevitably need to make use of Senior Sister Ziyuan's background.

It was just a Cursed Poison Body. While Saints feared it like a tiger, he didn't care about it in the slightest.

The Chaos Hongmeng Body was the ancestor of all physiques, immune to all physical afflictions.

Before him, even the Cursed Poison Body had to obediently lie dormant!

"Qin Xuan, today is the happiest day of my life since I was a child. Thank you for your company."

Senior Sister Ziyuan held Qin Xuan's hand and looked earnestly into his deep eyes, asking with a mixture of anticipation and worry, "We will still be friends in the future, right?"

"Of course." Qin Xuan nodded decisively. "It is impolite not to return a favor. Since you gave me a gift, I can't neglect you either."

He took out the exquisite ring he had made while communicating with Leng Li, held it out to her, slowly raised her hand, and slipped the diamond ring onto her ring finger. "This is a specialty from my hometown called a diamond ring. A diamond is forever, a single gem lasts for eternity. May our feelings be like this diamond, never changing."

Senior Sister Ziyuan stared at the sparkling diamond ring on her finger and asked curiously, "Does this ring have any special meaning?"

With a warm smile on his face, Qin Xuan explained, "Generally speaking, this ring is given by a man to his future wife. This diamond is not only crystal clear and extremely beautiful, but also unchanging. It lasts longer than even the highest-grade primeval stones, representing the devotion and eternity of love."

"But our case is a special situation. If you don't think it looks good, then this ring is just a gift for a close friend."

Senior Sister Ziyuan caressed the diamond ring and murmured to herself, "Devotion, eternity..."

She looked up and said solemnly, "Thank you, I really like this gift, and I will cherish it even more in the future!"

With a playful glint in his eyes, Qin Xuan probed, "Now, can you let me catch a glimpse of your true appearance?"

Senior Sister Ziyuan coughed lightly and quickly withdrew her hand. "It's getting late, I must return to the Wanbao Pavilion."

Wearing her Sacred Artifact robe that isolated the Cursed Poison Body, she put her hands behind her back and walked briskly out of the auction house.

As the streetlights began to glow,

inside that heavy and bloated robe, a tiny Soul yearning for freedom was hidden. Like a seed falling into fertile soil, it had already sprouted, waiting for a magnificent bloom.

"What diamond ring? He even made up some saying like 'a diamond is forever, a single gem lasts for eternity'. In reality, it's just a discarded primeval stone stripped of all its essence, completely worthless!"

Leng Li snorted in disdain. "This Senior Sister Ziyuan really doesn't have much of a brain!"

"A High Grade Sacred Artifact and a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique are so incredibly valuable that even Saints would hesitate. Yet, you fooled her with a broken stone, making it seem like she hit the jackpot!"

Qin Xuan cursed, "What do you know? The resonance of the Soul is priceless!"

Senior Sister Ziyuan didn't lack Sacred Artifacts or Cultivation Techniques.

What she lacked was empathy, resonance, and the ability to experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness like an ordinary person.

An innocent girl like her had the least resistance to these small items that focused on 'romance'.

In a gift, what is always precious is the intent.

Qin Xuan also valued intent the most.

After giving away the diamond ring, he could only tearfully accept a High Grade Sacred Artifact and a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique, reducing himself to a vulgar person.

Although Leng Li voiced her dissatisfaction, she was secretly amazed by Qin Xuan's superb methods of deceiving women. She thought to herself, "Fortunately, Qing Xue has seen the world. She isn't simple-minded like Senior Sister Ziyuan. It's fine if you use these little tricks to fool Senior Sister Ziyuan, but if you want to fool Qing Xue, you'll have to wait at least another ten thousand years."

Glancing slightly, Qin Xuan looked at the heavy dark clouds outside Yaoshan County.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Senior Sister Ziyuan's part is temporarily over. It's time for that dog couple, Ye Feng and Qing Ning, to take center stage."

He took a step toward the outside of Yaoshan County, saying with a hint of anticipation, "The show begins!"
