Chapter 62: Bewitching the Heart, Gaining Great Help!
The moment he sensed Senior Sister Ziyuan's appearance, Qin Xuan took half a step back. He placed his hands on Qing Ning's shoulders and instructed, "When I am not at home, you may freely mobilize all the Formation here. Cultivate wholeheartedly at home and strive to achieve a Breakthrough to the Supernatural Realm as soon as possible!"
Qing Ning bit her lip and nodded heavily, "I will!"
She wanted to become stronger!
She also wanted to be as powerful as Senior Sister Ziyuan.
That way, even if she followed by Qin Xuan's side, she would not become a burden, but rather a source of help!
Qin Xuan pulled away and left.
Qing Ning leaned against the doorway, watching like a stone statue waiting for her husband, until Qin Xuan's figure disappeared from sight.
In her beautiful eyes, her infatuation remained unchanged.
...
Yaoshan County, top floor of the Wanbao Pavilion.
Senior Sister Ziyuan, who was wrapped in a Sacred Artifact robe, for the first time, shed all her defenses in front of Qin Xuan.
She walked out of the bedroom, tall and slender, wearing a purple neon dress. Her chest was high and prominent, and looking further down, her curves tightened, her waist as slender as a willow, easily grasped with one hand.
Her pert buttocks accentuated the neon dress into a perfect curve.
Her curves were convex and graceful.
Such a figure could already be rated ninety-five points.
The key was that Senior Sister Ziyuan's face was so exquisite that it made people overlook her body's curves.
A palm-sized oval face, a cold temperament but naturally bewitching peach-blossom eyes, a beautiful nose, and cinnabar-red lips.
Her exquisite features gathered the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as if this world was deliberately compensating for her disgusting Cursed Poison Body.
Her crystal-clear, petite collarbone, beneath that fair and translucent skin, was like jade, a masterpiece of nature.
Senior Sister Ziyuan's gaze flickered slightly, and she said in a clear voice, "You must know that leaving the Wanbao Pavilion, without the protection of many Formations, perhaps you will be harmed by the Cursed Poison Body."
Clearly, she had taken the initiative to find Qin Xuan just so he could see her true face.
She wanted to ask him which was more beautiful, her or the woman who had passed by earlier?
But when she truly shed the Sacred Artifact robe and faced him openly, the question that reached her lips, she could not bring herself to say.
She could only warn Qin Xuan about the dangers of the Cursed Poison Body.
Qin Xuan stepped forward, grabbed Senior Sister Ziyuan's fair, tender hand, and held it tightly, nonchalantly saying, "What Cursed Poison Body? My life is super tough. If I can't overcome it, going to the Ziyang Imperial Capital would be a guaranteed death anyway."
He held Senior Sister Ziyuan's hand and left the Wanbao Pavilion openly.
Revisiting old places, he went to a familiar vendor and bought a candied hawthorn skewer for Senior Sister Ziyuan.
The candied hawthorn vendor chuckled, "Immortal, this Dao Companion of yours is much prettier than the one from a few days ago; she looks like a Fairy who walked out of a painting!"
Senior Sister Ziyuan took a small bite of the candied hawthorn and replied with a faint smile, "I am the person in black from a few days ago."
The vendor muttered, "Fairy, you were worried about attracting the attention of those men while out and about, so you deliberately concealed your peerless beauty!?"
Senior Sister Ziyuan smiled and did not answer.
She just turned her head to look at Qin Xuan.
She was very surprised that without the protection of the Sacred Artifact robe, the Cursed Poison Body still could not affect Qin Xuan.
Even more shocking was that with Qin Xuan present, it was as if her Cursed Poison Body had been suppressed.
The vendor's words made her feel a mix of amusement and annoyance.
As someone at the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, would she worry about those wild bees and butterflies?
She simply didn't want the Cursed Poison Body to be loathed by everyone.
Fortunately, by following Qin Xuan's side, she could also enjoy the pleasures of living just like an ordinary person.
"Qin Xuan, I want to eat that, stir-fried liver tips..."
Senior Sister Ziyuan pointed at a small stir-fry stall with somewhat cold business; she always had a special affection for the dishes she had eaten for the first time in her life.
"In consideration of you suppressing Saint Guyuan for me, I'll treat you to this meal today."
Qin Xuan pulled Senior Sister Ziyuan along and ordered three dishes and a soup.
After eating, he took Senior Sister Ziyuan to Silk Street, accompanying her to pick out clothes, also acting as a critic, constantly giving his opinions.
After paying the bill, Qin Xuan carried bags big and small, walking behind Senior Sister Ziyuan.
He continued to take charge, arranging the next activities: boating and strolling through the bustling night market.
Not until the night grew dark did he accompany Senior Sister Ziyuan to leave Yaoshan County.
The two sat on a cliff edge on a high Peak, gazing at the full moon, silent.
Senior Sister Ziyuan couldn't help but break the silence. She turned her head, looking at Qin Xuan's deep gaze, and said, "I feel that you are a bit different today. Before, when you accompanied me, you were somewhat impatient, but today you actively took me around to play."
Qin Xuan turned his face, gazing at Senior Sister Ziyuan's stunning face, which looked as if it had walked out of a painting, and said, "People change, and they also get used to the life after the change."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, in the distant sky, streams of colorful meteors, like a rain of fire, sped past.
"A meteor shower!"
"In the place where I used to live, making a wish to a meteor shower makes the wish come true!"
Qin Xuan clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
Senior Sister Ziyuan also followed suit, closing her eyes and making a wish along with him.
On another hill not far from here,
Luo Xinyi, who had been knocked unconscious by a boulder, relied on her tenacious willpower to wake up very quickly.
She found Qin Xuan's location again!
She weighed the Thunder Pearl in her hand, looking at Qin Xuan and Senior Sister Ziyuan 'cuddling' on the cliff of the distant hill, and thought hatefully, "A pair of adulterers!"
"If it weren't for Qing Xue's sake, I would definitely make you suffer today!"
"However, today's main task is to make Qin Xuan lose his ability to move within half a month, so he cannot go to the Imperial Capital."
"This Thunder Pearl of mine weighs eight taels and two qian. In my hands, it can be thrown ten thousand zhang away. When it explodes in the air, the Ten-Fragrance Soft-Muscle Powder will disperse in the air, and even you, Senior Sister Ziyuan, at the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, will have to fall off the cliff with Qin Xuan."
"Even if I can't smash you adulterers to death, I must seek justice for Qing Xue."
She swung her right arm continuously, creating a whistling wind, and with all her Yuan Qi, she threw the Thunder Pearl out.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the Thunder Pearl was struck by a meteor rock and exploded on the spot, less than three zhang away from Luo Xinyi.
The Ten-Fragrance Soft-Muscle Powder burst open instantly, its medicinal power spreading for hundreds of zhang.
Luo Xinyi, caught in the middle of it, felt her legs go weak and knelt to the ground.
She collapsed, her beautiful eyes fixed on the rapidly approaching meteor shower above, her pupils gradually constricting.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thousands of meteors continued to fall towards this hill.
Luo Xinyi, poisoned by the Ten-Fragrance Soft-Muscle Powder, could not move at all.
She was inevitably struck by a meteor—which had a one-in-a-hundred chance of hitting—and was driven into a newly formed hundred-zhang deep crater.
At the last moment before passing out, from inside the deep crater, came Luo Xinyi's hysterical wail, "The Cursed Poison Body is too terrifying!!!"
Qin Xuan finished making his wish, opened his eyes, and looked at Senior Sister Ziyuan beside him, saying, "Did you hear any sound?"
Senior Sister Ziyuan looked at Qin Xuan, who had leaned in close to her, her heart racing. She quickly shook her head, saying the opposite of what she felt, "No, nothing!"
"Then I must have misheard." Qin Xuan did not press the matter but curiously stared at Senior Sister Ziyuan's peach-blossom eyes beneath her curved eyelashes, "What wish did you make?"
Senior Sister Ziyuan asked in return, "What wish did you make?"
She hoped that Qin Xuan would return safely from this trip.
She could not say this wish in front of Qin Xuan.
"Me?" Qin Xuan said with a smile, "I hope you can get married soon."
Senior Sister Ziyuan frowned, "Why should I get married? And to whom?"
"It has been like this since ancient times. Otherwise, why do you think those women get married?"
Senior Sister Ziyuan replied uninterestedly, "Nothing more than parental pressure."
Qin Xuan shook his head, "Incorrect."
Senior Sister Ziyuan added, "Mutual affection?"
Qin Xuan still shook his head, "Still incorrect."
Senior Sister Ziyuan's curiosity spiked, "Could it be that women need to rely on the strong to avoid being bullied by others?"
Qin Xuan continued to shake his head, "None of those."
Senior Sister Ziyuan stared straight at Qin Xuan, "Then why is it?"
Qin Xuan said calmly, "Because it's damn useful."
The atmosphere solidified instantly.
Senior Sister Ziyuan's fair, crystal-clear cheeks instantly flushed with two clouds of red. She spat lightly and scolded angrily, "Lecher!"
Qin Xuan was not afraid, but just chuckled and continued, "If it were possible, I would hope that person is me."
"In that case, I could take you around, just like an ordinary person, walking and strolling everywhere, without needing to care about anyone's opinion, nor needing to suffer anyone's fear."
"This continent is very large, and I want to take you to see it together."
"However..."
Qin Xuan's words came to an abrupt end.
Senior Sister Ziyuan leaned in closer, her heart thumping wildly, "However what?"
Qin Xuan did not answer.
He just silently watched the gorgeous meteor shower still streaking across the sky.
He turned his head, the meteor shower illuminating everything behind him in a brilliant and colorful display.
He just silently watched Senior Sister Ziyuan's eyes, which held a deep curiosity within their coldness.
Their eyes met, and they gazed at each other for a long time.
When Senior Sister Ziyuan retreated, Qin Xuan smiled calmly.
From the moment they met until now, for the first time, he looked squarely at Senior Sister Ziyuan's face and said softly, "You are so beautiful..."
