Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 622: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Arrival

The sea of fog churned,

and the girl who descended from the sky had eyes brimming with brilliant golden light. The majestic Origin Qi swirling around her black and white waist-tied attire made her seem like a Fairy descending into the mortal world.

Standing still and looking upwards, as the Gang wind surged, one could occasionally catch glimpses of the girl’s fair, flawless bare legs beneath the hem of her skirt.

Confronted with the interrogation of the Washboard Saintess, Xu Yuan naturally took a step forward to distance himself from Xia Qing beside him, and with a smile, he faced her cool gaze:

"I was just thinking about where to find you, how did you appear here....."

"Xu Changtian."

The emotionless voice of Tianyan directly interrupted Xu Yuan: "I am asking you, why are you with this woman?"

"...."

His attempt to shift the topic failed, and Xu Yuan’s expression paused for a moment, showing no sign of panic.

Jokingly, even if he had anything going on with this auntie beside him, he could have fooled the Washboard, let alone now, when they were both innocently clean, with nothing between them.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuan stared at Tianyan under the misty sky, stroked his chin, and gave a grin:

"Are you concerned about my private life?"

"Stop making trouble here!"

Tianyan’s eyebrows shot up, her voice laced with a hint of annoyance: "Xu Changtian, don’t forget, there are limits to how much your lustful mind can take. Three days ago this woman still wanted us dead!"

"...."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed through Xu Yuan’s narrow phoenix eyes.

It wasn’t jealousy from the Washboard Saintess, but concern for his safety.

After all, considering Xia Qing’s earlier display of the Bell’s Black Domain, if he wasn’t blessed with Tianyan’s Tianmou Divine Art, he would likely lose his ability to resist the moment he was encompassed by it.

With this in mind, Xu Yuan already had his response ready, and with a light chuckle, he transmitted:

"What are you worried about? Haven’t you experienced my methods yourself?"

"...."

Tianyan blinked her eyes, and a slight blush crept onto her cheeks.

The so-called methods, naturally, meant drugging; the first time was a torment by this scoundrel that had her longing for death...

But on the other hand, combining the Charm Poison with the scoundrel’s Dao Charm, and with his meticulous scheming, controlling a person didn’t seem too dangerous...

With that thought, Tianyan’s heart settled slightly, but then she let her furrowed brows relax, only to furrow them again.

Her will-spirit swept over the woman in red below, and her golden eyes immediately narrowed.

Long suffering makes a good physician, and after seven years of relentless torment from the Charm Poison, she immediately recognized the state of the woman.

Origin Qi sealed, Will-spirit disrupted,

which meant that once the Charm Poison acted, this woman would have absolutely no ability to resist....

Her heart tightening slightly, Tianyan’s deep golden eyes swept over the two people below without trace.

He hadn’t changed his clothes, and they still looked relatively neat; as for this woman.....

Hmm?

Why are this old woman’s clothes different from what she saw before?

Her heart skipped a beat, and Tianyan’s fist tightened slightly under her sleeve. She felt a reflexive urge to erupt in anger, but as words reached her lips, she didn’t know where to begin.

She had no standing.

She had no right to interfere with his private life, no title to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Biting the corner of her lip, Tianyan snorted coldly:

"The methods are indeed not bad, but I didn’t expect our esteemed Xu would still be leisurely enough to keep such a woman by his side amidst such grave danger. It must have been more than just these three days, right?"

The girl’s voice was clear as a cold stream, but by the end, it became somewhat gritted.

Great, she was jealous after all.

Seeing her awkward demeanor, Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to tease her a bit, but he held back.

The timing wasn’t right; they were still in a dangerous situation and it was not the time for banter and quarreling.

At least, they had to take care of the Yin Ghost below first.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan chuckled, and with a step, he moved next to Tianyan, reaching to encircle her slender waist.

Slap!

Unsurprisingly, his hand was slapped away.

Tianyan’s frown was stern, but paired with her exquisitely beautiful features, it appeared somewhat cute.

Xu Yuan leaned in a bit closer, still smiling as he gazed at Tianyan’s petite face:

"Hey... do you really think I have such bad taste?"

Tianyan glanced at him sidelong, cool and indifferent:

"An affair with a married woman, if I recall correctly, someone seemed quite excited when mentioning this term before?"

"..."

Silence for a moment, Xu Yuan didn’t play coy anymore and said directly:

"After we separated last time, I returned to reach an agreement with Xia Qing and Tang Ruofu. Other than that, I have no other relationship with her."

Upon hearing this, the sourness in Tianyan’s eyes immediately vanished, and her beautiful eyes glared over as she asked sternly:

"Xu Changtian, have you lost your mind? You should have witnessed Tang Ruofu’s Dao Domain, how could you dare to return under such circumstances?!"

"Humph..."

Listening to her reprimand, a warm feeling rose in Xu Yuan’s eyes instead.

When a girl truly loves you, your safety surpasses everything, even if there were earlier suspicions of infidelity.

He hadn’t informed Tianyan of the plan to persuade Tang Ruofu and Xia Qing.

After seven years together, he understood Tianyan’s nature too well.

Perhaps influenced by the future-predicting abilities of the Yantian Art, Tianyan always planned meticulously before acting, and she utterly despised high-risk ventures.

Given Tang Ruofu’s demonstrably overwhelming power at the time, Tianyan would have never tolerated him taking such a risk.

He reached out his hand and drew the girl into his arms, and this time Tianyan didn’t resist.
