Chapter 979: Chapter 606: I Want Them All

Sitting atop a sand dune in the Great Desert, looking out at the setting sun, the warm flames of the desert campfire leaped, casting long shadows of the two figures on the pitch-black Gobi desert.

Xu Yuan held a willow sword sheath and idly flicked the firewood in the campfire before him, sending sparks flying that reflected in his dark eyes, flickering in sync with the horizon.

Besides gaming, adventures and travel around the world were probably his only passions in his past life.

Seeing the beauty of the desert’s lingering sunset was naturally part of his plans.

Drive an off-road vehicle, bring along a pretty girlfriend with a seductive figure, and have a spirited battle on the hood under this sunset in the desert; just the thought was both romantic and thrilling.

Unfortunately, this venture remained unrealized before he crossed over to this life.

It wasn’t for lack of time, but because of the danger.

A motorcycle and two riders entering a deserted zone?

That’s not adventure; it’s suicide.

However, he didn’t expect that one of his wishes from his past life would be realized in this one.

Oh.

To be exact, half-realized.

As he pondered, Xu Yuan suddenly glanced sideways at the young girl beside him.

Under the sunset, her slightly cold, flawless profile seemed to be filtered through a cinematic lens; her elaborate palace attire spread out over the sand, exuding a faint divine presence.

Her eyes were closed, her expression as cold as ice, a delicate teardrop mole softly adorning the corner of her fair eye.

After staring for a few moments, considering her cultivation level, she must have noticed his gaze, but she still showed no intention of opening her eyes, not even a hint of movement in her chest.

Like a dead person.

Just joking.

Before this, Xu Yuan always felt that Tianyan’s temperament and the mole beneath her eye were incongruous.

A teardrop mole is sexy, something that should belong to a femme fatale.

But what of Tianyan? Counting the years in the Illusionary Realm, she’s probably older than a young matron, yet she still sulks like a little girl every day.

However, his views have changed somewhat over the past few days.

Recently, Tianyan has been exuding an aura of coldness, and occasionally, when she glances over at him with a quick look, her icy gaze, accentuated by the mole, stirs a strong desire for conquest.

But unfortunately, this thought can only remain in his mind for now.

Dare to actually act on it, and with Tianyan’s current mental state, he’d probably end up with broken legs.

Sighing inwardly, Xu Yuan retracted his gaze and continued to fiddle with the burning firewood with the willow sword sheath.

Last night, he’d been tricked by that woman, Tian Ye.

But Xu Yuan didn’t blame himself.

Since the day the crisis was fully averted, Tian Ye and Tianyan had been constantly vying for control of the body.

When Tian Ye came out, she did as she pleased, shamelessly using Tianyan’s appearance to seduce him.

When Tianyan came out, she was always icy to him, speaking only when necessary.

Xu Yuan, needing to integrate current intelligence, didn’t pay too much mind to this.

After all, given the Washboard Saintess’s temperament, even if left alone, she would reconcile with herself in a few days.

And the plot developed just as Xu Yuan anticipated.

Tianyan was still sulking, but her attitude was indeed softening day by day.

Until yesterday, Xu Yuan felt the timing was about right and began to test Tianyan with his old tricks.

Joking and teasing her to make her happy, while accompanied by somewhat forceful physical contact, the Washboard Saintess half-heartedly accepted it, allowing him to wrap his arm around her and sleep for the night.

Waking up from a deep sleep, just as Xu Yuan was about to talk business, he realized the girl in his arms was emitting a cold chill.

Just that gaze, as if she were looking at a dead person, was enough to frost someone over.

Oh shoot, it’s over.

Last night, the person he had his arm around wasn’t Tianyan.

That damned enchantress, Tian Ye, timed it just right, waiting to play him and disappearing as soon as the act was over.

The silence between Tianyan and him persisted until now.

The wordless pair were like two statues, motionless,

until the silence was broken by a Black Armored Spider burrowing from the sand.

Black Armored Spider is a unique species of spider in the Great Desert, the size of a palm, emerging at night from the blistering sand below to cool down and feed.

As soon as this Black Armored Spider emerged, it quickly scurried along the sand heap.

But after only two steps, it was apprehended by a large hand reaching down to grab its neck.

Suppressing his revulsion, Xu Yuan glanced at the Black Armored Spider.

According to records, this little creature could be used in medicine, wine, and cooking, but regrettably, it looked quite disgusting.

Its head and mouthparts were fierce, with eight closely packed eyes, and the fuzz growing from its joints made one’s scalp tingle at a glance, let alone the thought of putting it in one’s mouth.

With that thought, Xu Yuan casually tossed the palm-sized insect to the side.

"Slap...."

With a soft sound, the insect landed on the girl’s elaborate palace attire.

Upon landing, the spider frantically scrambled around.

And at the same time, another being reacted: the person emanating a cold aura.

Her golden pupils suddenly widened, filled with disbelief and anger, and it was this expression that confirmed the girl’s identity to Xu Yuan.

When he traveled with Ran Qingmo and Bai Muxi, Xu Yuan had to mention them before they would act to dispose of anything.

But since encountering Tianyan, not a single Insect Demon had appeared within a hundred yards.

Tianyan seemed to be very afraid of insects.

As he thought this, a smile began to form at the corner of Xu Yuan’s mouth,

Then,

a blur of shadow quickly crossed in front of his eyes.

The palm-sized spider was suddenly plastered to his face.

The packed eyes and wriggling mouthparts filled his vision in an instant.

"...." Xu Yuan.
