Chapter 302: 174, the woman is currently... _2
Boom!
In the midst of thunder and flashes of lightning, the ground seemed to be covered by purple frost, and then a huge pit exploded forth.
Watching the dust that rose beside them, the four of them couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief once more.
Fortunately, they had sensed something was amiss just in time and hadn’t entered the forest where it would have been easier to hide their presence; instead, they returned to the plains they were at before...
The Grey Dragon seemed convinced they were in the forest, continuously spewing forth fire and thunder, reducing the entire forest to a place beyond recognition.
Only after it had finished venting did it circle around malevolently, then shot up into the sky.
Xu Yuan and his companions didn’t rush to leave, but instead quietly waited on the spot for a moment. After seeing that the other party didn’t reappear, they cautiously tested the surroundings a few times before quickly flying toward the depths of the Demon Clan’s forbidden territory in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
“I was scared to death.”
Jing Lixue held his hand tightly with one hand and patted her chest with the other, her expression revealing how shaken she felt, “We were almost discovered by it.”
Seeing she did not let go, Liu Ruoxue smiled and joined the conversation as if she had not noticed, “Indeed, a Primordial Spirit Realm member of the Dragon Clan is truly terrifying.”
“Yeah, if Xu Yuan hadn’t supported me, I probably would have collapsed on the ground from weak knees just now.”
Jing Lixue said with a face full of emotions.
When did I support you?
Xu Yuan was astonished.
Before he could explain, a heavy snort came from behind him.
Now he really owed her one.
She was still trying to set him up at a time like this.
“Xu Yuan, do you believe me?”
As he was pondering this, Jing Lixue blinked her eyes and suddenly communicated with him through mind-speech.
“I don’t.”
“You believe my...”
Halfway through her sentence, Jing Lixue finally realized what he had just said, blinked her eyes confusedly, and her small face seemed somewhat baffled.
Why isn’t he following the script?
How was she supposed to trick him now?
“Stop always thinking of crooked schemes; right now, your situation is the most dangerous.”
Xu Yuan warned.
“That’s why I just linked our life patterns together. This way, they won’t lay a hand on me.”
“So that was your plan.”
“No, that’s not it.”
Realizing she had misspoken, Jing Lixue hurriedly explained, “It’s a rare opportunity, I just wanted to properly teach her a lesson for you.”
“Teach her for me?”
Xu Yuan glanced at her indifferently, “You just wanted to use the pretext of helping me to deceive me again, right?”
“...”
Jing Lixue’s expression stiffened on her face.
“How could that be? I’m not that kind of person; Xu Yuan, you believe me.”
Her voice faltered, sounding inexplicably creepy, and with a flattering expression, she shook his hand.
“Jing Lixue, you’re a Divine Emperor, can you not speak like that?”
“Ah, but in front of you, I’m just a little girl.”
Her voice was so coquettish it gave one the chills.
Looking at Tian Liuli’s trembling eyelashes and her once again tranquil expression, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, his performance had not been wasted.
“Don’t get too pleased with yourself, I’ve only forgiven your initial actions, not what you’ve just done,” Tian Liuli suddenly shifted her tone, her lips curving with a bit of defiance.
“...”
Xu Yuan paused momentarily.
“But just now...”
“Indeed, you didn’t take the initiative, but you didn’t refuse either, did you?” Tian Liuli said, as if she could read his mind, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“Since you wish to be fair, logically, shouldn’t you compensate me?”
“This...”
Xu Yuan was somewhat troubled.
Without thinking, he knew that Tian Liuli’s idea of compensation would certainly not be simple.
The next moment, he saw Tian Liuli raise her jade hand and crook her finger at him.
“What do you mean?”
“Come here, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Yuan glanced at the two people ahead who seemed unaware of anything and sighed.
But just as Tian Liuli had said,
If he wanted to maintain stability, even if it was just surface-level stability, he needed to balance things out.
At least, he couldn’t let Tian Liuli feel that he was being too unfair.
He leaned in close with his ear.
But what awaited him was not the whispered words he had imagined.
Instead, it was a hand that seized his collar, followed by a reckless kiss that drew near.
Xu Yuan:...
He hadn’t expected Tian Liuli to be so bold and proactive.
She usually had an icy demeanor that kept people at a distance, and if he hadn’t known the plot, he would have surely thought she only saw him as a tool to mend her Dao Heart.
Perhaps she had figured that with Jing Lixue and Liu Ruoxue watching, Xu Yuan wouldn’t dare to make too much of a scene.
Her gaze towards him, usually on the losing end of these matters, rarely carried a look of triumph and arrogance, as if to say, “Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?”
After a kiss as light as a dragonfly’s touch, Tian Liuli once again adopted her former cool demeanor.
“That’s the compensation I wanted.”
She let go of his collar, the corners of her eyes tinged with a trace of mirth, enjoying his dumbfounded look.
“...”
Xu Yuan felt a bit amused.
To think that a grand Immortal Emperor would get caught up in such pettiness and take pleasure in it.
Perhaps it was time for him to teach her a lesson.
Xu Yuan wrapped his arm around her waist.
The next moment, as something slipped into her mouth, Tian Liuli’s eyes widened in shock.
“Hmm?!”
Liu Ruoxue, for some reason, felt an inexplicable irritation, as if Xu Yuan had done something behind her back.
Yet when she looked up, there he was, standing properly up ahead.
