Chapter 99: Ninety-two Chapters Gifts

The moon shone faintly, and after the search and rescue work was completed, the Xu Residence had quieted down considerably.

Amidst the ruins,

Xu Yuan saw countless bodies laid out on the ground, covered by white cloths.

Hundreds of them, densely packed.

In the flickering light of the surrounding fires, the crimson blood seeping through the cloths looked eerie and sinister.

Returning to his own loft courtyard, Xu Yuan suppressed what he had just seen, took a deep breath, and with a slight adjustment of his mentality, pushed the door open and entered.

His room was spacious, but also rather empty.

Because most of the valuable antique furniture had been exchanged for silver.

Upon entering,

Xu Yuan’s sensitive will-spirit immediately sensed that the nearly liquid-like Origin Qi in the room was swirling and surging towards a certain spot.

Passing by an embroidered screen, Xu Yuan saw the destination of the Origin Qi vortex.

Ran Qingmo was sitting cross-legged on the floor, quietly cultivating with her eyes closed.

Bathed in moonlight, wearing black clothes like ink, she was quietly beautiful.

As he drew closer, Ran Qingmo disbanded her cultivation technique and slowly opened her eyes.

After a few moments of eye contact,

Xu Yuan asked with a hint of amusement in his voice,

"Didn’t I say before I left that you could sit on the bed? Why are you sitting on the floor?"

Ran Qingmo replied softly and truthfully,

"There’s a... scent on the bed."

Xu Yuan was slightly surprised by her words and subconsciously looked down at himself.

Seeing this, Ran Qingmo shook her head, "It’s not yours."

"Not mine?"

Xu Yuan murmured, and then his expression froze.

If it wasn’t his, then it was most likely Su Jinxuan’s.

Although he had never allowed her to stay over, this Enchantress Miss naturally had a seductive rose scent that could mesmerize the soul.

It was normal for some of it to linger.

Thinking this,

Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo again, remarking to himself about how sensitive the Big Ice Lump’s nose was.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuan still offered an explanation,

"It’s probably Su Jinxuan’s. I had intended to introduce you two."

"Hmm."

"Her physique can help me in cultivating my will-spirit; she occasionally comes to my room, mostly for cultivation reasons."

"Oh."

"...."

In the silence, Ran Qingmo turned her gaze to the pillow on the jade bed.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also looked over.

Ran Qingmo kept staring but said nothing.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Yuan asked softly.

"Xu Yuan, there seems to be something she left for you under there," Ran Qingmo stated blandly, with no hint of emotion.

"...."

Xu Yuan was a bit surprised.

The mysterious Primordial had come so unexpectedly. Had Su Meimo actually had time to leave something for him?

But after a brief reflection, much of Xu Yuan’s surprise faded away.

Before the plan was put into action, Su Jinxuan specifically warned that Qin Mo would probably come to her rescue and advised him not to stay with her or he might be in danger.

During the fierce battle between the three Great Grandmasters and the Saint’s Remnant Soul, which was like a natural disaster, it was impossible for Su Jinxuan, as an ordinary person who had not cultivated, to predict who would win or lose.

If they from the Prime Minister’s Mansion lost, she would surely be taken away.

Under the possibility of being taken away, it wasn’t surprising for her to leave something for him.

With the surprise replaced by curiosity,

Xu Yuan grew curious about what the Enchantress Miss might have left him.

A letter?

Or perhaps some other thing?

In the quiet of the room,

Xu Yuan walked past Ran Qingmo, slowly approached the jade bed, and reached out for the Cold Jade Pillow.

As the pillow was pulled aside, Xu Yuan’s eyes reflexively twitched.

The item was familiar, beautiful, and eye-catching.

Even though she had the Enchantress Divine Physique, Su Jinxuan preferred to wear plain and simple clothes.

However, as her cultivation deepened, her attire underwent some changes, and occasionally when she came over at night, she would don attire that enhanced her attack speed.

Food, color, sex also.

Since the other party was willing to wear it, Xu Yuan was more than happy to openly appreciate the beauty of this world.

And that Enchantress seemed not to mind his gaze at all; in fact, she seemed to enjoy the kind of look that said he wanted her but couldn’t have her.

Now that she had left, she had actually left this thing on his bed.

Should he say it’s fitting for someone with an Enchantress Divine Physique?

He stared silently at the long, white silk fabric for several breaths before suddenly realizing that there seemed to be someone else next to him, watching it with him.

"...." Xu Yuan.

When he turned his head, he met the girl’s serene eyes.

"...." Ran Qingmo.

Without a trace, Xu Yuan took the item left by Su Jinxuan into the Sumeru Ring, and without blushing or skipping a beat, he calmly asked:

"What’s wrong?"

"......"

Ran Qingmo turned her gaze back to the Sumeru Ring he was holding.

Xu Yuan coughed softly, swiftly changing the subject:

"By the way, I just went to find Xu Changge and have already spoken to my father about your matter through the Communication Crystal."

As expected, Ran Qingmo’s attention was immediately attracted, and she looked at Xu Yuan with a look of nervous anticipation:

"Um...what did your father say?"

"...."

After spending so much time together, it was rare to see such an expression on Big Ice Lump’s face.

To her, the Sword Sect really was of great importance.

After a moment’s contemplation, Xu Yuan said softly:

"He refused."

"...."

The light in Big Ice Lump’s beautiful eyes visibly dimmed.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan changed his tone:

"However, he didn’t completely refuse."

Ran Qingmo’s eyes brightened again.

Xu Yuan suppressed the urge to tease her further and walked over to sit down in a chair by the window sill.

Ran Qingmo silently followed him.

Xu Yuan looked up at the girl standing silently in front of him and pointed to the chair beside him:

"Sit."

Ran Qingmo sat down as instructed.

Xu Yuan chose his words carefully:

"First of all, it’s impossible for my father to stop his plan. As I told you back in that broken temple, he won’t change his decision just because you’ve kidnapped me."

"..." Ran Qingmo pursed her lips.

"However, I can offer you another path."

"Tell me."

"It’s simple, align Tianyuan Sword Sect with my father."

After a moment of thought, Ran Qingmo asked:

"Xu Yuan, do you want me to persuade my master?"

She was not stupid at all.

"You could understand it that way," Xu Yuan nodded.

"But my master won’t listen to me," Ran Qingmo said somewhat disheartened.

Xu Yuan watched her downcast eyes and gently patted her shoulder to draw her attention:

"Just because he won’t listen now doesn’t mean he won’t in the future, a person can make completely opposite choices at different times."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan bent his eyes into a smile at her:

"Plus, I will help you."

"...."

Looking into his earnest eyes, Ran Qingmo’s gaze widened slightly.

Under her scrutiny, Xu Yuan withdrew his hand and slowly stood up:

"Alright, I need to rest now, and you..."

He paused halfway through his sentence as he glanced through the window at the ruins outside and then changed what he was about to say with a light cough:

"Um... you continue your cultivation here."

After all, it wasn’t the first time they had lived together in the same room; there was nothing to fuss over.

Of course,

tonight it would still be him in the bed and her on the floor cultivating.
