Chapter 573: Thirty-six, Chapter Sixty-four: Explosive Kill

Memories within the Illusionary Realm...

Xu Yuan wanted to say something, but he found himself unable to speak a word.

In the physical sense.

Heavenly Word Mantra...

Tianyan’s deep golden pupils were exceptionally clear, she knew what he wanted to say and what he wanted to do to her.

But knowing was one thing, being able to do it when it came down to it was another.

Just like before, in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm.

"..."

Seeing that he couldn’t speak, Xu Yuan instantly understood Tianyan’s meaning.

Emotions truly were an interesting affair.

They could make one believe in some unbelievable things, and irresistibly make one do things one would normally be unwilling to do.

Just like just now.

Clearly, he had already used his words on her once, but she had already taken the bait of her own accord.

If he weren’t trying to take things further, the two of them might still be cuddling affectionately.

However, Xu Yuan still felt it was quite strange deep down.

Although the memories from the Illusionary Realm had already disappeared without a trace, certain habits his body had retained, and her occasional reactions when Tianyan tested her, all suggested that in that environment, whatever there was to do had been done, and whatever there wasn’t to do, probably had been done as well.

The saying ’once bitten, twice shy’ wasn’t only applicable to men.

Nearly twenty years had passed, and this Washboard Saintess was still so reserved...

"...."

Their gazes interlocked briefly in midair, Xu Yuan subconsciously pursed his lips lightly, a touch of loss evident in his eyes.

His whole demeanor instantly seemed somewhat downcast.

Seeing his subdued expression, Tianyan pressed slightly harder on the fingertips she held against his chest, pushing him away directly, the smile in her eyes fading as she met his gaze icily:

"Xu Yuan, I told you, your tricks are useless on me."

Stabilizing himself after staggering back several steps, Xu Yuan looked up, about to feign confusion, when Tianyan’s crisp voice came, tinged with a hint of elusive mockery:

"I like you, even love you, so I care about how you feel. Seeing you down and distressed makes me uncomfortable too. Just like this, my boundaries would erode, step by step.

"You agree, don’t you, Xu Changtian?"

"...." Xu Yuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back down.

In the spiritual sense.

Before he could finish the first half of his thought, the Washboard Saintess before him might have already completed it for him—and who dares to say it outright?

"Hmph."

A light snort, and Tianyan rose into the air from nowhere, standing level with Xu Yuan, walking slowly towards him barefoot, her eyes half-closed:

"The easier something is obtained, the less it is cherished. Indulgence can swiftly wither affection, while controlling desire is what sustains it over time."

Hearing these words, Xu Yuan smiled faintly, asking quietly:

"Who did you hear that from?"

Tianyan breezed past him, bringing a whiff of fragrance, her crisp laughter trailing with a bit of teasing:

"Who said it?"

Xu Yuan turned to look at the girl’s retreating figure as she walked toward the grand bed, pointing to himself, his expression slightly stiff:

"Was it me?"

Tianyan paused, turned her head to reveal her flawless profile, her eyes cool:

"I’ve forgotten, but it was indeed someone who took it upon himself to flaunt those playboy insights before me."

"..."

Xu Yuan clucked his tongue, his gaze somewhat odd.

Would he do such a foolish thing? Brag about such matters before his own woman?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Such suicidal behavior simply didn’t seem like him.

Could the Illusionary Realm have turned him into an idiot?

"Stop daydreaming."

Tianyan’s voice interrupted his thoughts. Xu Yuan looked back and saw the girl had already seated herself on the grand bed, hands behind her, legs crossed, her delicate, translucent bare feet swinging in the air:

"If you want to know why, progress through the Soul Chapter I’ve passed on to you, and you’ll naturally understand."

As she said this,

Tianyan’s thoughts seemed to drift, and she glanced involuntarily at the grand bed behind her, her fair cheeks suddenly suffused with an unnatural blush.

"..."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan suddenly found himself amused.

He had actually been spectacularly killed by this "Washboard Saintess", truly a disgrace to his grandmother’s house.

However, after these conversations, he had pretty much figured out the purpose behind Tianyan’s words and actions.

It seems that the one who appeared the most simple and foolish also had a bit of slyness.

There were promises made and his curiosity piqued, and in the end, she even revealed that triumphant, spring-fevered expression.

And the purpose of all this,

was just to get this lecher to quickly remember the past shared between him and her...

Hah, foolish woman.

Watching her sit at the edge of the bed, pretending to be alluring, Xu Yuan felt an involuntary softness wash over his heart and he walked slowly towards the bed.

Seeing this scene, Tianyan’s eyes instantly turned vigilant:

"Xu Changtian, I warn you, don’t think those tricks of yours will still..."

Before she could finish,

Xu Yuan had already approached her, interrupting her:

"I know."

As he said this,

he lifted his slender index finger and hooked her fair chin.

The bleak wind and rain stirred the bed curtains, rolling past their dry robes.

In the midst of their gaze,

his index finger and thumb naturally seized her chin, then inch by inch, he bent down, tilting his head to kiss her lips, which still wished to utter a warning.

His movements were slow.

So slow that to her it seemed like the crawl of a turtle.

But Tianyan felt in that moment as if the "Freeze" Heavenly Word Mantra had been cast upon her.

Unable to move in the slightest, and without any desire to move at all.

Blinking those beautiful golden eyes, she simply watched as the man before her seized her red lips.

The instant his familiar lips met hers, Tianyan’s eyes widened in shock.

She found her body subconsciously trembling slightly, her hands on the bedstead gripping the sheets a little tighter.

The greed of his kiss, searching for hers, let a tenderness spread throughout her heart.

Suddenly, Tianyan felt her mind in turmoil.

A chaos that even the Celestial Fates Divine Soul could not withstand.

She had thought it all through... so why had it turned out like this again?

If this bastard wanted to go further, should she reject him?

If she let this bastard have her easily, would he treat her like he did in the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm...

With his deep kiss, a hint of daze clouded over Tianyan’s clear golden pupils.

And just when she was at a loss, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her had taken a step back.

Looking up somewhat puzzled, she met his smiling gaze.

He looked at her, his laughter bright:

"Didn’t our Saintess just say that the easier things are obtained, the less they are cherished? Have you forgotten already?"

Tianyan gathered her scattered senses, raised her hand to wipe her lips, and turned her head away to avoid revealing any flaws:

"If you dare continue, I will castrate you."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan pretended to be scared and retreated half a step, then chuckled, reaching out to hold her head:

"Are you prepared to live as a widow then?"

Tianyan glared at him:

"At least it would keep you in line."

"Tch."

Xu Yuan chuckled, pressing her head down as he advanced a step, his smile filled eyes staring at her:

"Then come on."

The girl glanced, silent for a moment, her cheeks blushing from the roots of her ears, she spat softly:

"Rogue."

Xu Yuan laughed softly, sat beside her, and then lay back on her big bed, speaking somewhat lazily:

"Tianyan, since you are not willing, then let’s wait until I’ve completed the Soul Chapter. I can wait."

Tianyan blinked her eyes, hesitated slightly, and slowly laid down beside him:

"So, when do you plan to start?"

Xu Yuan turned his eyes to gaze at her exquisitely beautiful face, which was incredibly close, and lifted a hand to brush past her earlobe:

"Didn’t I come to find you for that?"
