Chapter 595: Chapter 378: Sword Casting Valley (Tianyan Side Story 1)_2

Tianyan came to an abrupt halt, with her little face red with anger, "Do you believe I could just leave you here?"

Xu Yuan, upon hearing this, showed no fear. He was smiling, unbothered by her seemingly harmless threat.

Once Tianyan left, losing her connection to the heavens, it was highly likely that he wouldn’t even survive the next assassination attempt.

But the same was true for Tianyan.

Looking around, the entire world was an enemy. The only people they could truly trust were each other.

The Charm Poison within her was a ticking time bomb in her body.

Without the help of others, once the poison erupted, it would be a death sentence.

As the sun set behind the mountains,

she stood suspended in the air, while he stood atop a tree trunk.

The golden sunset painted her flushed little face a deeper shade of red.

In a silent exchange,

Tianyan bit her lip and let out a heavy snort, "Let’s go."

"Alrighty,"

Xu Yuan replied with a chuckle.

Tianyan glanced at him and began to activate her cultivation technique to leave.

And just then,

amidst the twilight forest filled with the sounds of animal hooves and bird calls,

the frail girl in the light purple fairy dress suddenly plunged towards the forest below...

Xu Yuan’s pupils constricted.

He stomped his foot, leaving an afterimage as he streaked across the sky.

Xu Yuan caught the falling girl in midair.

The moment his hand touched the girl’s burning skin through her clothes, Xu Yuan understood what had happened.

The disease had struck.

After seven years, he was no longer surprised.

Carrying the girl in his arms princess-style, he slowly descended to the ground.

Under the dense canopy, the base of the giant tree seemed somewhat gloomy, but the girl’s delicate body in his arms was scalding hot.

Snapping out of her momentary daze, Tianyan protested:

"Let... let me go."

Xu Yuan sighed softly:

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

Tianyan flatly denied.

Xu Yuan let out a soft chuckle, amusement in his eyes.

After a brief silence, Tianyan closed her eyes and from her luscious lips, pronounced two mantras:

"Still the mind."

"Condense the spirit."

As she finished,

Tianyan opened her eyes and bit her lip, "We... we need to leave this place quickly. In my current state, if we’re pursued, we won’t stand a chance of escaping."

As she spoke, Tianyan struggled to leave Xu Yuan’s embrace, but the more she resisted, the hotter her temperature got from the man’s presence so close to her.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan gently set her down.

No sooner had she touched the ground than Tianyan tried to rise and fly away.

But she was quickly grabbed by the swift-acting Xu Yuan.

Holding the girl’s slender, pale wrist, Xu Yuan said in a tone that was neither cold nor warm:

"Your injuries seem quite serious; even the Heavenly Word Mantra’s suppression effect on the Charm Poison is weakening.

"Rest. I’ll help you heal."

"I told you, I’m fine!" Tianyan was a little bit frantic.

Her crisp voice echoed through the forest, startling a flock of birds.

Xu Yuan looked at her, calmly repeating:

"Rest. I’ll help you heal."

With that, he went ahead and made the girl with the fairy dress sit at the roots of the giant tree.

"Let me go!"

Tianyan’s eyebrows shot up, a defiant "Hmm... you bastard, what are you doing?!" escaped her lips.

Xu Yuan enfolded her waist and came closer, blowing gently into her ear, and softly said:

"Don’t move."

Despite his words, Tianyan clearly had no intention of listening to him.

Desperately trying to fight back, her bare feet kicked about erratically, attempting to break free from his grip.

Unfortunately for her, Xu Yuan’s realm was now Primordial as well, and with the Charm Poison flaring up, her Origin Qi sluggish, and her mind clouded,

she couldn’t break free from his hold on her.

In her struggle, Xu Yuan expertly flipped her over, binding her slender arms behind her back, as she lay face-down over his legs.

"Xu Yuan, you scoundrel!"

Xu Yuan looked down at the girl struggling on his legs like a quail, and said in a quiet voice:

"Talk nonsense again, and I’ll strip you."

"You wouldn’t dare?!" Tianyan stopped her thrashing and glared back at him.

Xu Yuan reached for the tangled collar of the girl’s light purple fairy dress and chuckled,

"Saintess, your memory must be quite short—it’s not like we haven’t done this before."

"......"

Tianyan bit her lip tightly, staring at him but not speaking anymore.

Seeing that the Washboard Saintess had finally quieted down, Xu Yuan let go of her collar and softly said:

"It’s been ten days since we escaped. They couldn’t possibly catch up so quickly. Besides, with your current state, traveling further would be slow. It’s better to recover here before we go on."

With that,

Xu Yuan whispered softly:

"I’m coming in, don’t resist."

As he spoke,

he deftly lifted an edge of Tianyan’s fairy dress and slid his hand inside, touching the girl’s silky smooth skin on her back...

"Hm..."

A delicate and alluring moan rose,

and Xu Yuan glanced at the girl lying on his leg.

Tianyan was also looking at him. Her cheeks were flushed with anger and her alluring eyes looked resentful.

After a few moments of eye contact,

tears welled up in her eyes, and through clenched teeth, she spat out three words:

"Degenerate scoundrel."

"Indeed."

Xu Yuan smiled, not bothering to refute.

With their current level of cultivation, they could heal through the clothing or even without any physical contact, but the efficiency would be lower.

And besides,

it didn’t make sense not to take advantage of an opportunity.

Xu Yuan’s probing hand fumbled inside her clothes,

and the prostrate girl bit down hard on Xu Yuan’s thigh in response.

Xu Yuan frowned but kept silent, locating the vital meridian point and began to channel his Origin Qi into it...

"...."

The sensitivity of her body, full of Charm Poison, caused Tianyan to shudder gently, but she kept biting his thigh, determined not to make a sound.

After seven years, she knew how to stay silent during the healing because if she made a sound, the scoundrel would tease her even more.
