Chapter 639: Chapter 409: Seizing the Body_2

All present were intelligent individuals, and this most basic analysis was clear at a glance.

Xu Yuan glanced at Tian Ye, took a deep breath, and said succinctly:

"Alright, I’m prepared to talk to this ghost willow."

"...."

Upon hearing this, Tianyan’s pupils contracted slightly, and she abruptly turned to look at the man beside her, as if realizing what he was planning to do. Her lips parted, but for a moment, she was unable to speak.

Tian Ye’s expression appeared somewhat strange as her beautiful eyes seemed to regard a fool: "You... plan to negotiate with the Yin Ghost?"

Xu Yuan stared at the towering tree shadow within the black mist, his voice calm:

"If it is both a Yin Ghost and a cunning spirit, there should be a chance."

"Hmm?"

Tian Ye let out a light hum, and then, as if realizing something, she glanced at the spot where Xia Qing’s body had been propped against and chuckled lightly: "Heh~ Ordinary Yin Ghosts indeed cannot do such intelligent things."

Yin Ghosts are the embodiment of brutality and chaos, yet this ghost willow acted with clear methodicalness.

It was well aware that within the entire cave, the greatest threat to it was not the three living people but the Mortal Transcendence Yin Ghost trapped by the sealed Yin Ghost Domain.

In that case, there might indeed be a slight chance for negotiation.

This was also the only lifeline they could exploit.

With this in mind, Tian Ye inquired with interest, lifting her arm and pointing at the massive dark silhouette with her thumb:

"So, what do you plan to negotiate with it using?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and chuckled bitterly:

"What can I negotiate with? Naturally, it would have to be life...."

"I don’t agree."

Tianyan’s cool voice interrupted Xu Yuan, her expression slightly frosty: "As a plant spirit, this ghost willow grows deep within Sword Casting Valley. That deepest part of Sword Casting Valley is thousands of miles away from here; it must be constrained somehow by the long distance it has traversed."

After listening carefully, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:

"What if it could crawl out from underground?"

"Ridiculous," Tianyan scoffed, her voice swift: "If the ghost willow truly had no constraints, even with that Yin Ghost enriched by the Ghost Domain, we would not stand a chance against it...."

"Even if it is constrained, what can we do about it?"

"....." Tianyan fell silent.

Xu Yuan sighed, interrupting the girl’s words with a reluctant smile on his lips: "In our current state, who can confront her? You, Tian Ye, or me?"

Tianyan fell silent for a moment, clutching her palms tightly, her golden pupils emitting waves of light as she swept her gaze around, seemingly trying to find a way out using the Yantian Art.

But unfortunately,

She finally lowered her head with a gentle bite of her lip corner.

She found nothing.

Even the Dao Domain of the Mortal Transcendence realm was as hard to decipher as reaching the heavens, not to mention the Ghost Domain constructed by Sacred Origin, where not a single flaw could be found.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and placed a hand on her small head:

"Before, you witnessed the attraction I have towards the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow. It’s clear that the ghost willow came for me, or rather, for the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed in my hand."

His body was like a seductress to the seeds, those low-tier Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willows would even forsake their lives for a "touch of fragrance" with him.

It was just not expected that such a common species of tree as the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow would have such an "ancient ancestor" deep within Sword Casting Valley.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan raised his bound right hand and clenched the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed he held somewhat tightly.

However, compared to the special nature of his own body, Xu Yuan was more inclined to the idea that the ghost willow came for the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed in his hand.

The Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow possessed the instinct to bewitch souls, and the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, also a plant, was a soul-enticing sacred item. It would be difficult not to associate the two with each other.

With this in thought, Xu Yuan slowly turned around, tightening his grip on the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed:

"I’ll try to use the threat of destroying this Enchantress Divine Tree Seed to persuade the ghost willow to lift the Ghost Domain, then we can immediately leave."

"I’m not leaving."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone replied.

But it wasn’t Tianyan; it was Tian Ye.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes downcast as her index finger rubbed against her thumb. Lifting her gaze, she smiled warmly:

"If Tianyan wants to leave, let her go. I’m certainly not going to leave you, Xu Yuan~"

"You can leave if you want."

"....." Tian Ye.

Xu Yuan glanced at the self-regarding Saintess Tian Ye: "I wasn’t speaking to you."

Tian Ye pursed her lips, seeming somewhat displeased.

Xu Yuan looked at Tianyan, his voice gentle and soothing:

"Listen, I’d be more distracted with you staying in your current state."

Tianyan hung her head silently, her golden eyes drifting restlessly from side to side.

She struggled to find a reasonable excuse to refuse him.

After a while,

Tianyan suddenly lifted her gaze and whispered:

"But... what if it isn’t coming for you and the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed...."

"Then we’d all die here."

Xu Yuan cut her off with a smile and a bent glance: "Well, if that were the case, it would be like dying for love with me. But if I’m right, remember to wear mourning for me, okay?"

Looking at his cheerful eyes, Tianyan bit down on her silver teeth and instinctively averted her gaze.

Amidst the black mist, a quiet peace pervaded, silence spreading between the two,

Then out of the blue,

"Forget about wearing mourning; I’d rather join you in a death of passion, Xu Yuan~"

"...."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, slowly turned back, and glared at the temptress.

Always ruining the mood, isn’t she done yet?

Tian Ye wore an indifferent face, her lips curled in a faint smile as she turned away her face, signaling them to continue.

With a sigh, Xu Yuan no longer indulged in the romantic mood with the ’Washboard Saintess.’ In a low voice, he said:

"I’m going to start now; waiting until the ghost willow completely swallows that Mortal Transcendence Yin Ghost might be a bit...."
