Get Lost (25-in-1)

"Smack!"

A crisp, resounding slap echoed through the silent cave.

Ran Qingmo instinctively gripped her sword tighter.

Xu Yuan raised his hand to stop her movement, his eyes still fixed on Tianyan, five bright red finger marks gradually appearing on his handsome cheek, and blood seeping from his mouth.

Tianyan slapped Tianyan very hard.

Tasting the metallic flavor between his lips, Xu Yuan wiped his lips, and smiled slightly when he saw the crimson stain on his fingertips:

"Feeling better now?"

A flicker of heartache crossed Tianyan's eyes, but upon hearing his words, he immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:

"No."

"."

Xu Yuan didn't say anything more, and turned his other face to the side.

Upon seeing this scene,

Tianyan's pupils contracted slightly, and her anger caused her entire frail body to tremble slightly.

Xu Yuan simply looked at the other person calmly.

Since we have different stances, there's nothing more to say.

Even though the sword intent had severed his emotions, those memories had already become one with him.

Whenever someone mentions the Prime Minister, the image of that stern, unsmiling middle-aged man involuntarily comes to mind. Whenever the Eldest Young Master is mentioned, he thinks of his elder brother, who always looked at him with disdain but was willing to play with him all day. Whenever the Second Young Master is mentioned, he also remembers his second brother, who would always stand in front of Xu Changge with a stick whenever Xu Changge wanted to beat him up, and in the end, he would take the beating with him.

Xu Yuan and Xu Changtian have long since become one person.

In the real world, there aren't as many people with the "love above all else" mentality depicted in Qiong Yao dramas.

Xu Yuan couldn't bring himself to give up everything for love or betray his family.

Xu Yuan believed that even Tianyan couldn't do it.

Looking at her in silence, Xu Yuan said softly:

"Not playing anymore?"

"Smack!"

Another bright red handprint was imprinted on Xu Yuan's cheek.

But they were still hitting the same spot as before.

It hurts like fire.

It seems that my words just now provoked this woman's rebellious side.

Despite receiving two slaps, Xu Yuan felt quite relieved.

He doesn't regret the choice he made, but if he put himself in Tianyan's shoes, he could understand how Tianyan feels right now.

Although most of the memories from the illusion were so blurred that the emotions were no longer visible, the vague images and feelings still gave him a general idea of what the two of them had experienced in the illusion.

It's normal to get beaten up and vent your anger when someone comes knocking on your door.

After a long silence, seeing that she showed no intention of making another move, Xu Yuan looked at her and smiled softly, a smile tinged with helplessness.

I can roughly understand how you feel right now.

"But I want to ask you a question, Tianyan."

"."

"If you were me, or if our cultivation levels and positions were completely reversed, and you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

"."

"To risk your life for that slim, almost impossible chance?"

"."

"Or should we make the safest decision, like I have, to leave first and then make other plans?"

"."

A faint mist filled Tianyan's beautiful eyes. She remained silent, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Xu Yuan looked at the girl in front of him and emphasized his words slightly:

"Answer me, Tianyan."

"."

Tianyan's red lips twitched slightly, then she looked away and shook her head. "I... I don't know."

Hearing her answer, Xu Yuan gently shook his head:

"Tianyan, if I had Xu Changge's cultivation level now, or even Jing He's cultivation level in the illusion, I wouldn't run away."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan glanced down at the Charm God Dao Rhyme in his palm, then forcefully crushed it away:

"Although what happened in the illusion is no longer clear, your strength left an impression on me. Even if you were poisoned by the Charm God Flower and I had mastered the Charm God Dao Rhyme, I only dared to fight you while you were still injured."

"That's just how reality is. It's easy for you to kill me, but I can hardly resist."

Xu Yuan spread his hands, looking at the snow at the cave entrance:

"Hehe, sitting in a dilapidated house chatting with strangers you just met, eating your supper, when suddenly someone appears and follows you all the way. You can't fight them off, you can't run away from them, and they can even hear your whispers. And this person only gives you two choices."

"One choice is to join them, the other is to die."

Speaking of this,

Xu Yuan turned his head and stared intently into Tianyan's beautiful golden eyes:

"Come,

"Tianyan, tell me, if our cultivation levels were swapped, would you dare to appear before me?"

His words were calm, yet every word pierced her heart.

Tianyan silent.

A gentle breeze was blowing inside the cave.

Ran Qingmo's eyes seemed thoughtful, but she couldn't figure out what the two of them were talking about.

Meat fat dripped into the campfire, and time ticked by.

Tianyan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the quiet and well-behaved Big Ice Block to the side.

Ran Qingmo blinked and gripped her sword tightly.

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan and said, word by word:

"And what about her? You keep talking about stances, but aren't your stances completely different from hers?"

"."

Ran Qingmo blinked, looked at Tianyan, then at Xu Yuan, a look of understanding mixed with confusion appearing on her beautiful face.

Xu Yuan suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Tianyan sneered, "What? Speak up, why are you so quiet now?"

Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes filled with helplessness:

"Tianyan, stop being unreasonable."

Tianyan raised a slender index finger, pointed at himself, and laughed angrily:

"You're saying I'm being unreasonable?"

Xu Yuan glanced at him, his eyes filled with helplessness and calm:

Do I really have to explain it so clearly?

"." Tianyan.

After a moment's pause, Xu Yuan spoke slowly and deliberately:

"You should know in your heart how big the gap is between you and Ran Qingmo."

Tianyan's breath hitched, his tiger teeth biting his lip, and he slowly lowered his eyes.

She knew what Xu Yuan was referring to.

From personality, background, experience, and affiliation with the sect, there is absolutely no comparison between her and Ran Qingmo.

Xu Yuan slowly stood up and patted her shoulder:

"I can put myself in your shoes, but can you think about me?"

Tianyan looked at the man in front of her, her eyes burning with tears that were hard to conceal. She lowered her beautiful eyes, closed them, and sniffed.

The anger in my heart hadn't subsided, but I was no longer able to vent it.

have no choice.

She wanted to vent her anger, so she razed the hill to the ground.

But she also knew that even if she did that, it would be of no use.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath:

"Ran Qingmo, you should leave now."

Upon hearing this, Ran Qingmo's dark, bright eyes flickered for a moment. She looked at Xu Yuan, then at Tianyan, and hesitated slightly.

"Really?"

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"It's okay."

Ran Qingmo blinked.

Xu Yuan blinked.

"."

Tianyan closed his eyes, his sharp fingertips digging into his palms, and said almost through gritted teeth:

"If you're going to leave, then leave now."

Ran Qingmo hesitated slightly, then asked again:

"So I'm really going out?"

"Mm." Xu Yuan nodded.

Ran Qingmo slowly got up, hesitated slightly, finished the roasted porcupine meat on the bamboo skewer in two bites, asked Xu Yuan for a handkerchief, and then slowly walked out of the cave with her sword in hand.

As the slender figure in black disappeared into the cave entrance,

"Still watching?"

Tianyan opened his eyes, which were slightly red, glanced at Xu Yuan, and sneered, "Is it beautiful?"

Xu Yuan turned around, thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled directly:

"Ran Qingmo is of course beautiful."

"Shameless."

"Thank you for the compliment."

After saying that,

Xu Yuan keenly sensed a surge of Source Qi permeating the air.

The source, naturally, was the washboard saintess beside her.

It's like he can't help but want to hit someone again.

Xu Yuan looked at her calmly:

"If you want to vent your anger on me, you can continue, but if you want to continue following me, please allow me to refuse."

Tianyan's small nostrils twitched, dispersing his Source Qi, and he squeezed out three words:

"Impossible."

Xu Yuan stared at her, his eyes filled with helplessness:

"Then tell me, what do you want by following me? Do you want me to regain my memories from the illusion? But judging from your current state, you probably can't do that."

Speaking of this,

Xu Yuan's lips curled slightly, staring at Tianyan with a half-smile, "If it's for your so-called anchor point, what right do you have to interrogate me here?"

He paused for a moment,

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"Of course, you could say you simply want to be with me, but do you even believe that yourself, Tianyan?"

"."

After saying that, Tianyan opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Then,

Xu Yuan gradually saw a hint of wavering in the eyes of the girl in palace attire before him.

He wasn't surprised.

Ran Qingmo was able to coexist peacefully with him because the Big Ice Block had too much certainty about him.

In Cangyuan, besides the deadly routes where Xu Changge relentlessly pursued her, she also had a route to escape overseas.

After the player defeats Xu Changge using cheats, Cangyuan will give them two options.

First, I accompanied her to visit the ruins of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.

Secondly, it was a chance encounter, a farewell in the world.

Option two means goodbye forever.

In option one, the player accompanies Ran Qingmo to the deepest part of Heaven Origin Mountain, where they find the things left to her by the Sword Sect old man from the Sword Sect in the burned bamboo forest.

What her master left her was not some precious treasure, nor a belief in revenge, nor a grand ambition to revive the Sword Sect.

Just a simple sentence,

[Qingmo, live on]

For the pure-hearted girl, becoming the sect leader and protecting the Sword Sect was her destiny instilled in her from childhood, but this destiny could also be changed.

Ran Qingmo is different from Tianyan.

The only thing that the Cangyuan Heavenly Oversight Pavilion faction missed in its formula book was the "Yantian Art".

Regardless of his personality, methods, or shrewdness, Tianyan is not someone who can be easily swayed by others.

"."

Silence, as desolate and lonely as the snow-covered landscape stretching for thousands of miles in the Wanxing Mountains.

I don't know how much time passed,

As if he had figured it out, Tianyan suddenly chuckled, raised the sleeve of his palace robe, and wiped the corner of his eye.

After a while,

She suddenly looked up, a smile playing on her lips as she gazed at him:

"Xu Changtian, if you had memories like me, would you still do this?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked in return:

If I said no, would you believe me?

"Sizzle"

Tianyan chuckled, her beautiful eyes curving into two glistening crescent moons, a charming smile playing on her lips.

"I don't believe it. Even if you had your memories, a bastard like you would make the same choice."

"Likewise," Xu Yuan did not deny it.

"Hmph." The girl gave a soft snort, but did not deny it.

They smiled at each other.

The biggest problem seemed to be solved. Xu Yuan took a breath, sat down on the stone slab behind him, and took a porcupine skewer from the campfire.

"Come on, you won't be able to eat my cooking anytime soon."

This time, she obediently sat down next to him, took the bamboo skewer offered to her, and took a bite with her small mouth slightly open.

"You seem very certain that I will let you leave."

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"If you really remember most of what happened in the illusion, and you've spent over a decade with me, you should know very well what kind of person I am. Except for threats I make up when I have no other choice, I usually don't lie."

Tianyan hearing this, Tianyan chuckled twice, almost choking on the food in his mouth. After swallowing, he gave him a reproachful look.

Your shamelessness hasn't changed at all.

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"There's nothing we can do about it; we were born this way."

Tianyan took another bite of the marbled porcupine meat, chewing as he said:

"With such a chatterbox, how did you live to be so old?"

"Of course, it's all about who your father is." Xu Yuan was quite straightforward.

Tianyan said sarcastically, "That's true. If it weren't for Xu Yinhe, the things you did in the Imperial Capital would have been enough to get your head chopped off dozens of times over."

"Hehe." Xu Yuan chuckled.

After he finished speaking, silence suddenly descended.

Only the soft sounds of the two chewing softly echoed inside the cave.

I don't know how long it has been,

Tianyan suddenly called out softly, "Xu Changtian."

"Hmm?" Xu Yuan replied casually.

Tianyan asked casually:

"What happened in the illusion... hmm... have you really forgotten everything?"

"The vast majority, I suppose."

Xu Yuan didn't hide anything. "I only haven't forgotten some of the most memorable ones."

Tianyan suddenly looked up at him, his heart racing slightly. He quickly finished the meat skewer in his hand in two bites. "The one that left a deep impression?"

"Mm." Xu Yuan nodded.

"For example?" Tianyan asked.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at Tianyan, and said:

"Light pink."

"?" Tianyan looked puzzled.

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but gave the girl a suggestive glance.

As soon as the gaze arrived

"Whoosh!!"

A bamboo skewer shot straight through the air!

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Looking back,

The unremarkable bamboo stick had completely sunk into the hard cave wall, leaving no trace.

Xu Yuan's breath hitched slightly, and he turned his head:

"Tianyan, are you serious?"

Tianyan clapped his hands and rolled his eyes at him:

"I'm just testing whether you're really qualified to negotiate with me, and besides, who told you to be so rude and unpleasant to talk?"

"What if I hit him?" Xu Yuan touched his left shoulder.

Tianyan tilted his head, smiled, and said:

"It's just a matter of losing one hand. You treated me the same way when we first entered the illusion. You may have forgotten, but I've always remembered."

"."

Xu Yuan opened his mouth, then sighed and took out a small porcelain bottle from his Sumeru Ring.

The porcelain bottle features celadon carvings on its surface, showcasing its exceptional quality.

Tianyan saw Xu Yuan take out this thing, he subconsciously frowned:

"What's this?"

"Consider this the good stuff I found in Nandu Prefecture last time, as an apology."

"Liquor?"

"Um."

Xu Yuan nodded, then took out a wine vessel, tilted the porcelain bottle slightly, and as soon as the amber-colored wine was poured out, the cave was immediately filled with its aroma.

"This small bottle of ' Jade Dew ' costs three thousand taels of silver. It's priceless and unavailable. It not only refines the Will Soul but also increases Source Qi. I usually don't dare to drink it."

"."

Tianyan shrank back slightly, his golden eyes showing a hint of wariness.

"Xu Changtian, you wouldn't be trying to drug me, would you?"

"."

Xu Yuan froze, his smile twitched, and then he said, with a wry smile:

"Is that the kind of person you think I am?"

Tianyan's eyes held contempt:

"Don't doubt it, in my heart you're even worse than that kind of person."

Xu Yuan coughed lightly:

"You can rest assured, it won't do me any good to drug you now, and besides, can't you tell whether I've drugged you or not?"

"The Charm God Cherry Blossom, colorless and odorless." -Tianyan.

"." Xu Yuan.

"Fine, then I won't drink it."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, poured himself a cup, and was about to drink it when the porcelain bottle was snatched away by the girl next to him.

Xu Yuan's eyes showed surprise.

Tianyan glared at him with her beautiful eyes:

"If you dare to drug me, you're dead."

Xu Yuan smiled softly, "Okay."

I was just about to give Tianyan the cup and dish.

"Ton ton ton."

"." Xu Yuan.

Three thousand taels, gone.

After the girl finished her drink, a flush of alcohol visibly rose on her face.

Jade Dew fine wine is intoxicating and has a very rapid onset of effects.

Seeing Tianyan's reaction, Xu Yuan didn't say much and finished the wine in his cup.

"Why drink so fast? It's not like we're out."

Having said that,

He then took out two identical porcelain bottles of Jade Dew from his Sumeru Ring, filled his cup, and looked at the rosy-cheeked girl opposite him:

"Just so you know, if you get tipsy, don't accuse me of drugging you."

"."

Tianyan didn't speak, but slowly got up, straddled his lap, and looked down at him with her beautiful eyes.

"." Xu Yuan.

"." Tianyan.

"." Ran Qingmo.

"..." The Saint's Remnant Soul.

Xu Yuan's hand unconsciously rested on the girl's waist:

"What do you want to do?"

No words were spoken.

But the warmth of her touch spread from his lips throughout his body.

Lip separation,

Xu Yuan wiped his lips and opened his mouth.

But she pressed her lip with a slender, long index finger.

Tianyan smiled at him, her golden eyes sparkling as if stars were twinkling within them.

"Once I'm fully healed, Xu Changtian, you'd better pray you don't show up in front of me."

Having said that,

She stood up, raised a slender hand and placed it on Xu Yuan's chest, softly uttering a single word:

"Roll."

"Boom!"
