Sadly, beneath that peerless beauty lay a pair of eyes so cold they held not a trace of humanity.
The Azure Lotus Heavenly Maiden.
Her gaze fell squarely on Xiao Chen's face, and a mocking smile curled her lips.
"You actually dared to come back."
"You really do have a death wish."
"You old witch."
Xiao Chen's face was icy as he spoke, enunciating every word.
"Release Qingqing, and return Ruoshui's body to me!"
The Azure Lotus Heavenly Maiden would not even spare him a proper glance. To her, this was merely the helpless wailing of the weak, unworthy even of her anger.
Her gaze passed over Xiao Chen and settled on Wang Xuan.
Her eyes shifted slightly at the sight, first in surprise, then with undisguised interest as she studied the golden-white Dragon Qi surrounding him.
"A member of the Dragon Clan?"
"To think there are still members of the Dragon Clan alive in this world."
Her lips curved upward, her invitation carrying an air of lofty condescension.
"Submit to me, and I shall appoint you my guardian dragon god. What do you say?"
Taihao's eye twitched at those words, while Xiao Chen's expression turned downright peculiar.
She wanted a supreme figure of the heavens, one who cultivated both the Supreme Ancestral God and Stone Man King paths, to serve as guardian dragon god to a mere Half-Ancestor of the Nine Heavens?
Wang Xuan did not even lift his eyelids.
"You think you're worthy?"
The words were casually spoken, yet they struck the Azure Lotus Heavenly Maiden's face like three vicious slaps.
The smile on her face slowly froze.
"If you insist on dying, don't blame me for refining you as well."
Before her words had faded, she lightly beckoned with her slender, jade-like fingers.
