Chapter 597: Chapter 379: Relations (Tianyan Side Story 2)

The robe and skirt danced elegantly in the wind, and the girl’s eyes, ablaze with brilliant golden flames, were like shooting stars in the night sky, captivating the soul.

Chasing after the girl’s figure, a smile involuntarily traced Xu Yuan’s lips.

Seven years of daily companionship, relying on each other for survival under the high pressure of being hunted, had significantly closed the distance between him and the Washboard Saintess, by a great deal.

Both emotionally and physically.

He remembered the first time he had touched the skin of the Washboard Saintess by hand, she directly blasted the mountain cave they were hiding in to rubble.

But now, she would only put up a symbolic resistance before letting him have his way.

Of course, such skin contact was limited to when healing wounds.

Because of Tianyan’s contrary nature, keeping guard against him was like guarding against a thief.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Xu Yuan to even dream of a tender kiss.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan chuckled under his breath:

"What a contrary woman."

"What?" Tianyan had sharp hearing and frowned as she glanced over.

With the body of Primordial, Xu Yuan moved agilely through the dense forest, his hearty laughter transmitted through space:

"I said, Ran Qingmo is much more straightforward than you."

"...."

Tianyan fell silent for a few moments, then huffed:

"Hmph, then go find your Ran Qingmo. Stop following me."

Her good mood from just a moment ago vanished, and clenching her fists, she sprinted with all her might into the depths of the forest.

Xu Yuan cheerfully hastened his pace to catch up to her:

"Eh? Didn’t you just say you were going to protect me, sister?"

"Scram!"

"So heartless?"

"Xu Changtian, how can you be so shameless?"

"Repeating your words from just now equates to shamelessness, sister?"

"Huff.. puff.. ah...."

Tianyan took a deep breath, staring at his teasing expression, and, with a cold face, decided to ignore the jerk.

Seeing the girl’s expression, Xu Yuan smiled wryly.

There, she’d blocked her hearing again.

Whenever she was angered and couldn’t argue back, the Washboard Saintess would simply give up and stick her head in the sand.

Although he could use his will-spirit to transmit sound, Xu Yuan still dropped the idea of continuing to tease her.

If he kept going, Tianyan, the lady, would break down.

Every time he wanted to take their relationship a step further, she reacted like this.

But since she calls herself ’sister,’ she’s probably not some ancient maiden, right?

...

...

...

It’s probably just as Tianyan said, the current Heaven’s Watchtower Master can no longer bear the cost of long-term deducing of fate.

A month whizzed by, and the two’s flight was without any accidents.

In a secluded forest cave,

the dim environment faintly revealed the silhouettes of a man and a woman.

The woman sat crossed-legged on a white velvet cushion, rejuvenating with closed eyes.

The man leaned against the inner wall of the cave, eyeing the woman with a tilted gaze.

Today’s Tianyan was clad in a black form-fitting long dress that highlighted her delicate and petite figure to the fullest, though still flat-chested, her waist and hips were curvaceous and seductive. Her hair, tied up with a band, fluttered like playful butterflies or resembled pure and icy snowflakes.

Indeed, a beautiful person looks good in anything.

However, such a stunning girl had been almost completely ignoring him for the past month.

She was angry.

Because he previously said she was worse than Big Ice Lump.

The girl with her eyes closed suddenly spoke out of the blue:

"Keep looking and I will gouge out your eyeballs."

Xu Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest, the corners of his lips slightly upturned, his voice gentle and melodious reverberating in the quiet cave:

"You’re wearing such a beautiful black dress; isn’t it for me to see?"

Tianyan remained unmoved, her voice crisp and cool:

"For you to see?"

"Is there anyone else around here?"

"Skin can be quite a useful thing."

"Heh..."

Xu Yuan let out a chuckling. After a brief silence, he suddenly asked:

"Isn’t it a bit much, being angry for a whole month over a single mention of Ran Qingmo?"

Tianyan spoke with a voice like orchids in a secluded valley:

"Angry? What anger?"

"Are you really not angry?"

"No."

"If you’re not angry, then why didn’t you let me go to the Hook Bar when we were in Chongdu Prefecture last time?" Xu Yuan asked with interest.

He mimicked her tone:

"You can’t go! We’ve just settled in and you’re already seeking pleasure?"

"...."

Tianyan’s delicate body shivered, but her voice remained steady:

"What does that have to do with Ran Qingmo?"

"Da...."

"Da...."

"Da...."

Xu Yuan did not speak right away; he took slow steps forward, with his footsteps echoing in the cave.

Approaching the girl, he took a meditation cushion from the Sumeru Ring, sat down shoulder-to-shoulder with her, bumped her with his shoulder, and laughed:

"Of course, it’s related. Ran Qingmo wouldn’t stop me from going to the Hook Bar~"

Tianyan frowned slightly and shifted to the side, her words strictly official:

"Those kinds of smoky willow places like the Hook Bar are always the biggest sources of leaked information. What do we do if our cover is blown because you go there?"

Xu Yuan seemed to have anticipated this, and he laughed:

"I am at the Primordial realm, and the madam of that Hook Bar is merely an Integration Body. Do you think they can see through my disguise?"

While speaking, Xu Yuan leaned his face close to hers, staring unblinkingly at her expression.

One breath,

Three breaths,

"Get lost!"

Tianyan stretched out her slender fingers to press against Xu Yuan’s face, pushing him away with one shove, opened her eyes, and looked at him coldly:

"To escape, I went through a life and death experience. We’ve just found safety and you’re already thinking about seeking pleasure? Why do you think that’s okay?"

"Good excuse."

"Xu Changtian! What are you implying?"

"Nothing much, it’s just that people who are insincere eventually become losers, you know."

"....."

Tianyan abruptly stood up, looking at the man sitting beside her with direct and mocking words:

"Are you saying that you think I have feelings for you? That’s why I’m jealous and didn’t let you go?"

Xu Yuan blinked, his expression carrying a trace of surprise.

He didn’t expect her, with her contrary nature, to directly point out the issue.

But it actually suited him just fine.

Back in his previous life, after seven years of close association, he could have straightened out even someone curved, but here he was still tugging with the Washboard Saintess.

"Isn’t it so?" Xu Yuan smiled and countered.

"..."

Facing his gaze, Tianyan’s heartbeat inexplicably sped up.

But after a moment,

a trace of disgust crossed her stunningly beautiful face, and her voice was icy cold:

"Xu Changtian, do you really have no self-awareness about your own behavior?"

"....." Xu Yuan was taken aback.

"With the things you’ve done, why would you think I would have any affection for someone like you?"

"....."

"If there weren’t anyone else I could trust, do you think I would choose to stay with a profligate like you? Stop joking."

The words fell, and there was silence.

He looked at her, his eyes conveying an appropriately complex emotion.

After a while,

he chuckled softly, shook his head, and stood up, bracing his knees.

Without a word, and without looking at her again, he lowered his gaze and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Da...."

"Da...."

"Da...."

Their slow footsteps reverberated in the hearts of both.

Suddenly,

she bit her lip corner, looking at his somewhat desolate figure, and asked coldly as the words reached her mouth:

"Where are you going?"

Xu Yuan looked back:

"What does that have to do with you?"
