Chapter 636: Chapter 408: Calamity_3

"Mutual feelings,"

"I’m serious about my offer. Won’t you consider it? Tianyan isn’t here anyway, and only you and I would know."

"Heaven knows whether you’re telling the truth or not."

"I am heaven, so naturally, I know it’s true," Tian Ye laughed.

"....." Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Whoosh——"

The black dress fluttered as Tian Ye suddenly leaped down from the boulder and landed on the edge of the rune prison.

Xu Yuan glanced at her movements with a hint of surprise.

That woman had been sitting on the boulder like she was glued to it for the past eight days, never coming down.

After a few moments of eye contact,

Tian Ye’s eyes sparkled like stars, clear and captivating:

"Xu Yuan, I now wish to live my false life in my own way, rather than pursuing the everlasting power of Jiatiange.

"After all, I have already been dead for twenty thousand years.

"If you give up Tianyan and stay with me, I, Tian Ye, can promise you..."

"I refuse."

Xu Yuan interrupted his spellcraft without any hesitation, "No matter how many times you ask, my answer will be the same."

Are you kidding me? He’d already made up his mind to follow the ’Tianyan Principle’ in this Illusionary Realm and stick to it at least until he had completely secured the Washboard Saintess.

"....." Tian Ye.

While speaking, Xu Yuan sized up Tian Ye with her girlish figure and complained, "What I’m really curious about is what you find so attractive about me. Do you have to be so persistent in me, in trying to disrupt the relationship with Tianyan?"

"Because you are interesting."

Tian Ye met his gaze straightforwardly, her voice lingering, "Plus, you are special. In this false Illusionary Realm, you are the only real existence."

"And there’s Tianyan," Xu Yuan tried to remind her.

"But I don’t like women."

Tian Ye winked at him, her eyes gleaming, her lips alluring, "So, only you, Xu Yuan, are special to me~"

"...."

Xu Yuan felt like he may have been seduced.

Tian Ye always seemed to be able to read Xu Yuan’s mind. Her fingertips gently glided over the invisible barrier, causing ripples to emerge, and she smiled cunningly, "Your heart seems to be beating faster, but you still have some reservations in your heart."

She guessed quite accurately.

But sister, if this were a different place, I could trash you so badly you’d be left without even your underwear.

Xu Yuan mocked in his mind but maintained a serious look and shook his head, "Your sense of humor is really boring."

"Boring?"

A murmur, and Tian Ye lowered her eyelids, her lips curved in amusement:

"Making you fall in love with me and then helping you return to that reality that I’ve been gone from for ten thousand years. Don’t you think that would be interesting?"

Nutcase.

Muttering inwardly, Xu Yuan shook his head but smiled, "Born I was unto a world you were not, and when you were, I had not been; indeed, such stories are quite amusing."

Tian Ye immediately nodded:

"You think so too, right?"

Xu Yuan waved his hand and headed towards the cave exit:

"Then you go ahead and try to make it happen. Best of luck, old woman who’s been dead for twenty thousand years."

"...." Tian Ye’s eyes twitched, and just as she was about to speak again, she saw his figure disappear into the thick fog within the cave.

.....

About a hundred yards from the cave, the thick fog revealed a slender shadow.

Great, Tianyan has indeed returned. She’s eavesdropping around the corner.

His earlier anticipation was correct; if he had agreed to Tian Ye’s proposition, the Washboard Saintess would have been upset again.

At this moment, Xu Yuan saw Tianyan trying to suppress her laughter with her delicate little face.

It seemed that the "heartfelt words" he deliberately spoke just now had indeed made her happy.

Compared with that lunatic Tian Ye, his own Washboard was indeed cuter.

"Did you hear that?" Xu Yuan’s eyes twinkled as he asked with a frown, feigning ignorance.

"Hear what?" Tianyan reined in her smile, tilted her head, and feigned ignorance.

"If you didn’t hear, then never mind."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, did not press the matter further, and turned to walk back to the rune prison holding Tian Ye, "How are things outside?"

Tianyan quickly followed beside him, her thin lips carrying a sweet smile:

"No traces of others have been found; it should be safe. How about your injuries?"

"The injuries have healed about thirty percent. I can barely manage to circulate my energy now,"

As Xu Yuan said this, he then asked, "What do you plan to do with Tian Ye?"

Upon hearing the question, Tianyan’s face showed a trace of bitterness.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly:

"Is it a significant burden to maintain her seal?"

Tianyan was silent for two seconds before shaking her head:

"Not too great."

Realizing the situation, Xu Yuan understood immediately.

After several fierce battles and with Charm Poison afflicting her body, Tianyan’s condition wasn’t all that great either. Maintaining the seal on Tian Ye must be quite burdensome for her.

After a moment of thought, Xu Yuan suggested:

"Could you use conventional restraints or similar spellcraft instead?"

Walking on air, Tianyan shook her head, her voice soft:

"No, the Yantian Art naturally resists most restrictions. If we aren’t careful, she could break them, and we might not be able to stop her from sending messages to the outside world in time."

Xu Yuan stroked his chin and looked up at the rune prison in the fog-filled cave, shimmering with golden light:

"In that case, leave it to me."

"Leave it to you?" Tianyan looked sideways.

"Have you forgotten? Drugging her."

"....." Tianyan.

Scowling at this good-for-nothing, Tianyan’s lips curved in a smile, "That’s all you’re good for, I guess."

"So you agree?" Xu Yuan was slightly surprised; under normal circumstances, Tianyan would usually have thrown a sarcastic remark or two at him.

"How else could I disagree? I need to conserve my strength to protect the both of you."

"Hm... I can now use Dao Charm. How about I help you extract the Charm Poison first?"
