Thought They Were a Pure Love Warrior, Didn't Expect an Old Fox

When a group of people were present during the day, you acted all high and mighty, pretending not to see the flirtatious glances my sister threw your way.

But once night fell, this guy was like a completely different person.

Tsk, tsk, it seems this Holy Son isn't as abstinent as the novels portray him.

The author hadn't written any romantic scenes for Yan Wen, so Xia Wantang had assumed he wasn't interested in men and women at all.

However, the rapidly increasing favorability points and his behavior just now made her realize: this man was just putting on an act.

"I happened to glimpse Fellow Daoist Tang going upstairs to admire the moon earlier, so I thought I'd come take a look as well."

"But I am genuinely curious, why is Fellow Daoist Tang so outstanding, yet I've never heard any rumors about you?"

Tilting her head, Yan Wen's eyes seemed even deeper in the darkness, carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Tsk, she knew it. The fact that she could solo Ye Shang had made others harbor some doubts.

Of course, these doubts weren't negative; after all, she had saved them.

But her sudden appearance, as if out of nowhere, made it hard not to arouse curiosity.

Even if it was inconvenient or embarrassing for them to ask, they would surely hide this curiosity in their hearts or discuss it secretly in private.

She hadn't expected Yan Wen to just ask directly.

"I'm just a very low-key person."

As she said this, a mischievous thought suddenly surfaced.

She couldn't help but lean closer to Yan Wen's ear and whisper:

"Or perhaps... everyone who's ever seen me is now dead."

A tingling sensation spread across her earlobe, and her flushed ear revealed Yan Wen's thoughts:

"You wouldn't do that. If you did, you could have dealt with us long ago; there would be no need to help us resolve the Demonic Cult Leader."

Besides, someone who could pacify small animals like that couldn't possibly be a bad person.

Hearing this, Xia Wantang chuckled softly, as if acknowledging it. She then distanced herself from Yan Wen and said:

"It's because I've been busy cultivating and am not interested in such empty fame."

This was a plausible explanation, and Yan Wen grudgingly accepted it.

Another question lingered in his mind, and after much hesitation, he finally voiced it:

"You and that friend... are you really not a cultivation partner?"

Xia Wantang: ???

I didn't expect this, is the Holy Son also this gossipy?

Besides, even if such a person existed, Yan Wen wouldn't be jealous of a dead person, that's just too childish.

Xia Wantang looked astonished and firmly denied it:

"Of course not. If we were truly cultivation partners, why would we cultivate separately? We would have just dual-cultivated directly."

Yan Wen: ...

Her words were blunt but made sense. That was true.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, his eyes deepened:

"So, does Fellow Daoist Tang mean... if we become cultivation partners, we can dual-cultivate every day?"

"!" Cough cough...

Xia Wantang was so startled she almost ripped the dress she was fiddling with.

Yan Wen really couldn't seem to help himself from saying shocking things.

So, the passively abstinent Holy Son wasn't secretly reserved, but openly flamboyant!

Hehe, it's over, Host. You guessed wrong again. It turns out Yan Wen, who seemed the hardest to conquer, is actually the easiest.

Yan Wen's face was as beautiful as jade. Under the moonlight, his high nose bridge and thin lips were undeniably sexy.

His gentle eyes seemed to pierce straight into one's heart. At this moment, his gaze was sharp, a stark contrast to the gentle divinity he displayed during the day. His eyes held a palpable aggressiveness that couldn't be ignored.

Xia Wantang: I thought he was a pure love devotee, but turns out he's an old fox.

Did the favorability increase so quickly because this body hits his preferences?

She had to admit, this guy was quite good-looking. If they continued to interact, Xia Wantang might find her Dao heart wavering due to his charm.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Yan, it's getting late. We have to travel tomorrow, so we should rest early."

Hearing this, Yan Wen chuckled softly:

"Fellow Daoist Tang always changes the subject so abruptly."

"Oh well, I have a feeling we'll be meeting again very soon."

Tang Wan gained 5 favorability points from Yan Wen. Current favorability: 55. Faith points exchanged: 50.

Xia Wantang: Sorry, your feeling must be wrong.

"I'm out, I'm out."

After their conversation, the two returned to their rooms on their own.

However, Xuan Yu, who got up in the middle of the night, was shocked to see Xia Wantang and Yan Wen descending from the rooftop together.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xia Wantang bid farewell to everyone:

"Fellow Daoists, Tang Wan has important matters to attend to and cannot travel with you."

Xuan Yu also said:

"I'm returning to the Crimson Sun Sect as well. The Questioning Immortals Realm's Sect Grand Competition, held once every fifty years, will begin in half a year. We might meet again then."

Everyone present was a disciple of a major sect and would definitely participate in the competition.

Of course, Tang Wan, as a rogue cultivator, was an exception.

Hearing this, Xia Wantang thought to herself:

This plot point does appear in the novel.

The Azure Cloud Palace's Inner Sect Grand Competition, two months from now, was precisely to select candidates for the Sect Grand Competition.

The Questioning Immortals Realm's Sect Grand Competition wasn't just a simple spar between disciples; it would open a secret realm accessible only to cultivators under fifty years of bone age.

The Sect Grand Competition would take place within this secret realm.

Ling Xuan nodded:

"Alright, Brother Xuan, I'll see you at the Sect Grand Competition then."

At this moment, Qu Zhuowen suddenly looked at Xia Wantang, her tone filled with reluctance:

"Sister Tang, you're a rogue cultivator. I don't know when we'll meet again."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Let's exchange communication spirit talismans! That way, we can keep in touch."

"Sister Tang used to contact her friends like this before."

Xia Wantang: ... She finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on her own foot.

She really didn't want to give away a communication spirit talisman.

If the Saintess received Tang Wan's spirit talisman, it would be another loophole.

"Ah... Sister Qu, my communication spirit talisman just ran out."

Before she could refuse, Qu Zhuowen unceremoniously placed her spirit talisman into Xia Wantang's hand:

"It's okay, Sister Tang. When you contact me, you can give me your spirit talisman then."

Xia Wantang: ...

Yan Wen stood behind everyone, merely nodding slightly to signal his farewell.

[Host, this guy is deliberately acting like a stranger. He definitely has two faces and is a real wolf in sheep's clothing!]

Indeed, if what happened last night hadn't been real, Xia Wantang would have truly believed Yan Wen was a pure and innocent little rabbit.

Leaving Luoshui Town, Xia Wantang headed straight for Luoxia City.

She had already delayed for quite some time on her journey, so it was best to reach Luoxia City as soon as possible.

As she neared her destination, she found a small grove to change back into Xia Wantang's identity.

[Host, host, your current faith points can draw 55 times. Do you want to do a gacha draw?]

"Draw!"

She had been so busy that she almost forgot about the main task.

This time, she could do a fifty consecutive draw, with a high chance of getting gold and dropping divine-grade treasures.

Several purple lights flashed, and the results of the fifty consecutive draws were revealed:

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Azure Nether Divine Wind Whip (Immortal Grade Sixth Tier), Divine Wind Whip Technique (Heaven Grade Seventh Tier), Qi Replenishing Pill * 5, Essence Restoration Pill * 3.]
