Chapter 352: Chapter 004 Three Sword Souls

"This... you, are you trying to blackmail me, or do you want me to submit to you?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, Guan Qiushui actually believed him 80%, but Zhou Yan’s "despicable" actions made her extremely wary of him.

So much so that even if she believed Zhou Yan might be telling the truth, she dared not believe him lightly anymore, as this man seemed rather sinister and extremely clever. Regardless, Guan Qiushui always felt that when facing him, her brain wasn’t enough, and her reactions were always involuntarily slow.

Therefore, she spoke in a somewhat flustered, soft voice.

A woman who had previously been extremely authoritative and domineering now seemed like a ’little woman’ in front of Zhou Yan, which made Lan Ruo and Xian Yue feel somewhat bizarre.

The two looked at their aunt with some confusion.

Even more so when their aunt spoke such words— they found it somewhat ’inexplicable.’ Clearly, Zhou Yan’s capabilities and attitude didn’t seem like those of someone with harmful intentions, right?

Even Lan Ruo and Xian Yue could see that, yet their aunt, always so clever, couldn’t see it?

The puzzlement of the two women even showed on their faces, but Guan Qiushui, somewhat dispirited and inexplicably nervous and wary, was clearly unsettled by Zhou Yan’s ’harassment,’ leading her into confusion.

"Guan Qiushui? Although you’re quite attractive, that’s all you are. As a man whose goal is to marry the Holy Daughter, if I have to resort to such methods to win you over, it would only indicate my failure!"

Zhou Yan chuckled and then said, "Anyway, if you don’t believe me, try breaking through on your own. The moment you break through, you’ll likely find yourself involuntarily put in a passive situation.

As for why I brought this up, it’s merely to repay a bit of gratitude. After all, you did save me, and I wouldn’t repay kindness with enmity. I would compensate you.

Of course, if you still don’t believe me, then I can only make two Soul Devices for you, and we’ll call it even."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he casually glanced at Guan Qiushui. His gaze, profound and indifferent to worldly sentiments, seemed like the wise eyes that could see through all vicissitudes of life, or perhaps the proud eyes of a genius at his pinnacle.

Such eyes almost could bewitch any talented and beautiful female cultivator, even Guan Qiushui, lost in confusion, felt a momentary breathlessness.

This was a demonically charming man.

Besides ’demonically charming,’ she could find no other words to describe him.

He was also extremely arrogant, wicked, and self-centered, a man who was unrestrained and daring in his actions.

Before this, every Cultivator, even those from the Outer Domain, had been extremely polite to her because even though she wore an ugly mask, her demeanor still attracted countless Cultivators and won her a certain level of respect.

But Zhou Yan was brash, touching and pinching as he pleased, which was simply too domineering!

How could there be such a domineering man in this world!

Especially, with that strand of strangely charming purple aura in his eyes, possessing an indescribable allure, and his appearance, handsome enough to make even women jealous.

Thinking this, Guan Qiushui couldn’t help but think, if she were to engage in Dual Cultivation with such a genius or be with him... perhaps it wouldn’t be such an unacceptable thing.

As she thought this, her heart suddenly trembled, and she fiercely scolded herself, cursing herself as lowly. Yet, her heart, already moved, could no longer calm down.

"I... I believe you, just tell me, what do I need to do?"

Guan Qiushui gritted her teeth, facing Zhou Yan’s somewhat proud and sharp gaze, she dared not meet his eyes and instead lowered her head, softly asking.

"Well, actually, we could find a quiet place to discuss the specific process, which would also help both parties become familiar with each other physically and mentally, removing any sense of rejection."

"You—"

Guan Qiushui’s face instantly turned red. Zhou Yan’s words were so direct; was he directly proposing they indulge in intimate pleasures? This... this was too fast, right?

And if she were to solve the Fate of being a Furnace by doing this... wouldn’t it still mean being a Furnace anyway?

"What are you thinking? I was just saying I’d help you with ’Soul Refining,’ using my Life Cultivation Thunder Flame to remove impurities from your soul and dispel the dark forces within. Did you think I meant to engage in intimate pleasures with you? I wouldn’t agree to such a thing; wouldn’t I be at a loss if I did?!"

Zhou Yan said offhandedly.

This statement, frank and open, was overheard by Lan Ruo and Xian Yue.

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up in astonishment, stupidly staring at Zhou Yan and their aunt,

Their expressions at that moment were incredibly telling, clearly, neither of them had expected the conversation between Zhou Yan and their aunt to be... so absurd!

"Humph! I can’t argue with you. I see that even before you lost your memory

Fairy Qiushui’s pretty face turned crimson in an instant, but she still snorted coldly, trying to suppress her embarrassment and fury as she scolded Zhou Yan.

She said a sentence, still unsatisfied, and continued, "Rumor has it the Holy Daughter is fond of that Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan. Sadly, he died in battle at noon today. If you affection have any, you might as well learn from that Zhou Yan Spirit. Look at him, equally cold and aloof, yet he almost never frivolously flirts with women, and to each lover, he is wholeheartedly devoted! I might as well tell you, the Daoist couple I envision is just like him—arrogantly soaring yet attentively gentle, not only treats his woman so well he would give up his own life but also dares to offend everyone in the world for his woman!"

As Fairy Qiushui spoke, she gradually calmed down.

Her complexion also returned to that icy, frosty appearance of sheer purity.

And when speaking of the Emperor Qi Sword Body, a deep sense of admiration gleamed in her eyes, an adoration so intense, it nearly reached the level of madness to forsake everything for him.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan instinctively touched his chin, sinking into inexplicable deep thought.

He felt, this Emperor Qi Sword Body, it was just like himself.

But strangely, this Emperor Qi Sword Body had died at noon today, and it was widely known.

While he, Zhou Yan, had been unconscious for the past five days...

If he were not the Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan, then who was he? And what relation did he have to this Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan?

He hesitated for a moment, falling into a sudden confusion.

After a while, Zhou Yan came back to his senses. Then, he mobilized his soul, carefully sensing the condition of his own body.

At his side, Fairy Qiushui seemed to be lost in a daze over the ’death’ of Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan. Meanwhile, Lan Ruo and Xian Yue wisely chose not to speak at this moment. As for the little bell that had been beside them earlier, it had already retreated, busying herself with her matters, not daring to stay here any longer.

In Zhou Yan’s sensing, his body gradually became clearer bit by bit.

Within the body, there seemed to be an inexplicable Ancient Rune Sealing. This Sealing, Zhou Yan merely sensed it and had already discovered it. Therefore, after a long sensing, he instinctively began to undo the Sealing Rune.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, the Rune was loosened by a Soul Shock from Zhou Yan, and suddenly bursts of Origin purple aura emerged, this aura rapidly flooding into Zhou Yan’s heart and soul, so much so that it seemed thunderous Thunder was breeding within his body.

This Thunder’s energy aura was extremely domineering and fierce; just a breath of it caused purple electrical arcs to violently explode around Zhou Yan.

The noise of that instant made Fairy Qiushui, Lan Ruo, Xian Yue, and the others all turn to look at Zhou Yan, their faces painted with shock and uncertainty.

"Shhh—"

Suddenly, three Sword Souls burst forth from Zhou Yan’s body, each formed entirely of energy from Thunder Light, appearing immensely terrifying, like Divine Spirits of Ancient Fierce Beasts descending.

Once these Three Sword Souls appeared, Fairy Qiushui, Lan Ruo, and Xian Yue were immediately terrified, feeling an unparalleled palpitation, as if Zhou Yan at this moment was the most fearsome.

But the commotion was far from over, for as soon as the Three Sword Souls appeared, they truly began to Transform.

Among them, there was a dragon, a phoenix, and a qilin.

These were three types of extremely Ancient Fierce Beasts, immensely powerful and terrifying. At this moment, the Thunder Light even formed such types of Ancient Fierce Beasts, the aura was truly earth-shattering!

But at this moment, Zhou Yan’s complexion appeared rather pale, seeming rather abnormal.

"Heaven... These are Three Sword Souls! But... did I... did I inadvertently provoke him, causing him to err in his Enlightenment? If so, we are in trouble!"

Seeing Zhou Yan like this, Fairy Qiushui could not help but feel a bit worried. Even though she hated Zhou Yan previously, after a brief interaction, she had actually found that Zhou Yan, despite being flirtatious and somewhat inappropriate in his actions, overall seemed to be an extraordinary figure.

So, she wasn’t as repulsed by him as before.

"What’s wrong, Fairy Qiushui, you care about me now? How about letting me touch to calm my nerves?"

Suddenly, a message shot directly into Fairy Qiushui’s ears, and then, a shadow aggressively approached.

This time, Fairy Qiushui reacted quickly, her body instinctively twisted to dodge.

But even though she had clearly avoided it, Zhou Yan’s hand suddenly reached in again, and then...

Fairy Qiushui almost jumped up, caught between fear, anger, and furious shyness.

At that moment, she glared furiously at Zhou Yan, scolding wrathfully, "You, you’re shameless!"

"Teeth? I’ve told you my ’teeth’ are quite big, yet you didn’t believe me. Here, you can touch them too, then we can be even."

That annoying voice transmitted again.
