Chapter 648: Chapter 413 Her Everything (Tianyan Extra Final)_3

"What on earth are you trying to say?"

Xu Yuan smiled faintly and whispered:

"Since we both won the bet, why do you still look like you’re about to die?"

"...."

Tianyan’s pupils instantly dilated as she looked up at him, a hint of uncertainty in her beautiful golden eyes:

"...You’re not going to kill me?"

"Heh...."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, casting his gaze down to his palm in a somber tone: "I did think about killing you, but I seem to be unable to bring myself to do it."

"Pfft...."

After hearing this, Tianyan couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, her eyes that were as clear as autumn waters clearing of their gloom, replaced with a touch of mirth as she said in a sweet voice, "You can’t bear to?"

"Yes."

Xu Yuan didn’t deny it: "Even a pig raised for seven years would instill affection, let alone a person who has shared life and death with you."

Tianyan frowned slightly at his words:

"I feel like you’re insulting me."

"It’s not a feeling."

Xu Yuan laughed softly: "I am insulting you."

"....."

The familiar shamelessness sparked a surge of irritation in Tianyan’s heart, which soon turned into traces of a sweet, Wan’er-like smile.

But Xu Yuan hadn’t finished speaking, droning on:

"Knowing my personality, why would you come back in such a state? Aren’t you as stupid as a pig?"

"To be honest, I’m even starting to wonder if you came back deliberately then put on this attitude of utter surrender to gain my trust."

As he said this, Xu Yuan looked at the girl, whose expression had gone from clear to cloudy, and changed tack:

"But then I thought probably not,

"After all, during the time I was controlling the ghost willow and fighting that Saint Luo, you had every opportunity to just run away."

"So Tianyan, why didn’t you escape?"

"....."

Silence suddenly fell between the two, with only the whistling cold wind in the high sky and the billowing of their robes in the returning mists.

After a long quiet, Tianyan parted her red lips:

"...Because, I felt that you wouldn’t kill me."

"Why?" Xu Yuan looked puzzled.

Tianyan stared at him with her starry eyes, unwavering:

"You nearly died several times just to save me."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, growing impatient:

"I’ve said, that’s different. I did those things because only by doing so could I survive."

The wind howled, the willow branches undulating.

"It’s the same...."

"Hmm?"

The girl looked at him, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s:

"Xu Yuan... To me, what you did is all the same."

"...."

At her words, a ripple went through Xu Yuan’s heart.

This woman really was an idiot.

Like a kitten lying on the ground, baring its soft belly without any defense to a knife-wielding beast.

Turning around, Xu Yuan headed towards a hollow in the massive tree trunk, grumbling with distaste as he walked:

"That’s why I said you’re an idiot, as dumb as a pig."

Tianyan was silent for a moment before retorting:

"You keep saying that about me, but aren’t you the same?"

Xu Yuan kept walking without stopping, glancing back:

"I would never put my life in someone else’s hands."

"Yet you still haven’t killed me."

"That’s just because I can’t move against you right now, doesn’t mean I can’t in the future."

"All you have left now is stubbornness."

"You really think I don’t dare to kill you?"

"Come on then." Tianyan tilted her fair neck upwards, staring at him.

Xu Yuan’s eyelid twitched, and after staring at her for a few moments, he scoffed:

"You’ll find out soon enough."

With that, he turned and walked away.

"Hmph~"

As she watched his retreating figure, the girl curled her lips into a smile, her bare feet treading the void: "You can’t bring yourself to do it now, and you’ll be even less able to later."

"Tch."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips, took a deep breath, and looked back coldly:

"Who told you to follow me?"

Tianyan blinked, saying nothing.

Xu Yuan coldly stated while looking at her:

"Just because I can’t move against you now, doesn’t mean you can keep following me."

"...."

After thinking for a while, Tianyan tilted her head, then mischievously smiled without coming straight out with a question:

"This ghost willow... you can’t control it indefinitely?"

"..."

Xu Yuan’s pupils shrank.

He hadn’t expected the Washboard Saintess to suddenly ask such a question.

The Enchantress Divine Tree Seed’s Charm Poison was limited; it could paralyze the true body of the ghost willow for a few days at best.

Seeing his expression, Tianyan explained softly:

"If you could continuously control this Saint Level ghost willow, you wouldn’t mind me following you."

Xu Yuan took a light breath and didn’t deny it anymore, pausing in his stride to look at her sideways:

"Yes, I can only control it for a few days, so can you leave now? Having you by my side later will make me feel very insecure..."

"I can’t."

Tianyan stepped forward without a second thought, positioning herself half a meter in front of him with an intense gaze.

Xu Yuan’s fists clenched slightly.

Separating for the time being was the best solution he could think of.

What was the Washboard Saintess implying now?

"What do you mean?"

"I have Charm Poison in me and..."

Tianyan rolled her eyes, her cool eyes carrying a hint of allure: "It’s about to become unbearable to suppress."

Xu Yuan pondered briefly, then coldly said:

"Then I will help you pull it out right here and now, and then you must leave immediately."

"I don’t want to."

"..." Xu Yuan’s forehead vein throbbed.

As Tianyan watched his expression up close, she asked:

"Why do you insist on driving me away?"

"Why do you insist on staying by my side?"

Xu Yuan irritably countered: "Saintess, don’t you detest people like me the most?"
