Chapter 359: Luo Xianxian's Status Soars

"Ouch!"

Luo Xinyi was pushed out of Qin Xuan's arms, falling to the ground as she feigned a coy, affected pout, "Qin Xuan, why did you push me?"

Qin Xuan couldn't be bothered to respond.

Now was not the time for flirting with Luo Xinyi.

Before him, Luo Xianxian looked heartbroken, yet she still forced a strained smile.

It seemed as if, in the next second, little pearls of tears would fall from her eyes.

Clearly, something had happened to the Celestial God Clan!

He wore a solemn expression and asked seriously, "The gifts don't matter. Did something happen to the Celestial God Clan?"

Luo Xianxian tried to cover it up, hurriedly shaking her head, "No, nothing. My Celestial God Clan now has over a hundred Emperor Realm experts. Even the Nether Clan is no match for us. In these ruins, we are the undisputed hegemon. What could possibly happen?"

Qin Xuan's gaze fell upon the child-like Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan, and he asked suspiciously, "Then why is your clan's Old Ancestor heavily injured?"

"Why is it that only the Old Ancestor accompanied you here this time, and the Second Ancestor did not come?"

"And why didn't your father, the Celestial Race Patriarch, come either?"

Was his, Qin Xuan's, standing not high enough to warrant the Celestial God Clan's experts showing up in full force?

If that were truly the case, even the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan shouldn't have come.

In other words, there must be some hidden story behind this!

"I…"

Luo Xianxian bit her pale lips, her small fists clenched so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails digging into her flesh.

The words on the tip of her tongue turned into a sob.

Luo Xianxian trembled helplessly, shivering like a sieve.

She stood there blankly, saying nothing, just convulsing uncontrollably as crystal-clear tears fell.

Qin Xuan stepped forward, opened his arms, and pulled Luo Xianxian's slender, delicate body into his embrace, gently stroking her beautiful back without a hint of lascivious intent.

Once the trembling body in his arms had calmed slightly, Qin Xuan turned his head to look at the heavily injured Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan and asked, "What exactly happened to the Celestial God Clan? What happened to Luo Xianxian's father and that Second Ancestor?"

If something hadn't happened to the Celestial Race Patriarch, Luo Xianxian wouldn't be so grief-stricken that she couldn't even speak!

On the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan's youthful face was a look of gravity that didn't match his appearance. He shook his head bitterly, "Previously, in order to obtain that item, my Celestial God Clan went into the space-time rift. Unexpectedly, we were besieged by some lingering remnant souls from long ago. The Second Ancestor's Divine Soul was completely destroyed, and he perished in the space-time rift. Xianxian's father was also caught in this battle, suffering from remnant souls entering his body; his soul was shredded, and he was reduced to a walking corpse."

"However, such casualties were within our expectations. My Celestial God Clan still has over ten Emperor Realm experts alive. Some of the injured will be fully recovered within a hundred years. By then, our strength will be more than double what it was before."

"Young Master Qin need not feel any self-reproach. All of this is what my Celestial God Clan should have done, and we can bear such consequences."

Qin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

In other words, in this battle, of the Celestial God Clan's over one hundred Emperor Realm experts, at least seventy or eighty were lost?

Or perhaps even more?

Even the current Nether Clan did not have such a number of Emperor Realm experts.

He had never demanded any reward from the Celestial God Clan, and he didn't even know about the God Ruins feeding back to the Celestial God Clan.

Yet, the Celestial God Clan hadn't thought of holding anything back, paying a painful price just to seek treasures for him?

"This Celestial God Clan… is really getting a bit strange!"

Qin Xuan's heart was shaken violently.

Whether it was the first time he met Luo Xianxian, where a bet led a Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm expert to work for him, or later when the Celestial God Clan brought out the celestial god edict to help him break through, or this time, paying with the lives of dozens of Emperor Realm experts to seek treasure for him.

The Celestial God Clan's actions were tantamount to treating him like a national treasure!

"Qin Xuan, my father only let the remnant souls enter his body because he was covering the retreat for the clansmen!"

"As the Celestial Race Patriarch, he gave his all for the Celestial God Clan until his death."

"In the future, I will also become very, very strong, and I will absolutely not embarrass my father!"

Luo Xianxian, in Qin Xuan's arms, raised her red and swollen eyes, bit her lip, and made a grand vow with a trembling voice.

"I believe you can do it." Qin Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of Luo Xianxian's eyes and urged, "Take me to the Celestial God Clan. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for someone whose body has been invaded by remnant souls!"

Luo Xianxian's eyes lit up, "Really?!"

She impatiently crushed a jade talisman. A one-time teleportation array leading to the Celestial God Clan enveloped the three of them, and they returned to the Celestial God Clan's territory together.

By the time Ning Waner, Wu Bingqing, Scarlet Thorn, and the others returned, Qin Xuan had already disappeared from their residence.

"Where is Qin Xuan?"

"Where did he go?"

"And Luo Xianxian's aura, why did it vanish together with his?"

"Could it be that she was swept away by Luo Xianxian!"

Wu Bingqing and Scarlet Thorn both frowned, unaware of the full picture.

Luo Xinyi, who was sprawled on the ground, put away her affected, graceful pose and stood up.

Without Qin Xuan, who was she supposed to act coy for?

Patting the dust off her body, Luo Xinyi nodded and said, "Yes, Qin Xuan was swept away by Luo Xianxian to the Celestial God Clan. But I advise you not to chase after them. And in the future, speak less ill of Luo Xianxian in front of Qin Xuan, or else you'll be in for a rough time."

Ning Waner looked at Su Youyu, confused, and asked, "Sixth Sister, what on earth happened?"

Su Youyu poured herself a cup of tea and was about to drink it.

Wu Bingqing stepped forward, slapped the teacup away with one palm, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up and tell us!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, why are you in such a rush?" Under Wu Bingqing's fierce gaze, Su Youyu shrank her neck in lingering fear and said, "Previously, to seek treasure for Qin Xuan, over a hundred Emperor Realm experts from the Celestial God Clan went to the space-time rift together. Seventy or eighty of them were lost, and even Luo Xianxian's father had his Divine Soul destroyed, becoming a walking corpse with only a body left."

Ning Waner said in surprise, "The Celestial God Clan actually went this far for Qin Xuan?"

Wu Bingqing also put away the hostility in her heart, her voice filled with shame, "Even Luo Xianxian's father perished?"

Scarlet Thorn's heart tightened as she said, "Qin Xuan may seem cold and ruthless, but in reality, he values loyalty more than anyone. With the Celestial God Clan going this far, I'm afraid that in the future, Qin Xuan will not stand idly by if the Celestial God Clan is bullied. Even Luo Xianxian will surely be doted on by Qin Xuan."

"Yeah." Luo Xinyi spread her hands helplessly, "What can we do? We're competing for favor, but who could have expected that Luo Xianxian's natal clan, the Celestial God Clan, would be so supportive?"

"Even if we struggle and fight until our heads are broken and bleeding, we can't compare to an entire Celestial God Clan that is fiercely loyal to Qin Xuan."

"From now on, even a single hair that falls from Luo Xianxian will have to bear the surname Qin. As long as she, Luo Xianxian, is unwilling, no one will be able to touch a single hair on her head!"

"After this, the Celestial God Clan's sacrifice is tantamount to giving Luo Xianxian an immunity medallion!"
