Her Everything (Tianyan Extra End)

The ancient willows reached for the sky, their trunks broad and thick; the two men gazed at each other in silence.

At this moment, Xu Yuan felt he should say something.

For example, interpretations like "Tianye's words are false" or "he is trying to sow discord."

After all, in this era that is almost like a mafia-style cultivation world, not believing any information revealed by the enemy is the most basic quality for a person to survive in this world.

But the words caught in his throat.

This explanation is simply a cover-up.

The Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow's predatory eye on his body was long-standing, and facing such a meticulously prepared possession plan by a Saint-level Yingui, Xu Yuan, as a mere Origin Beginning, should indeed have no ability to resist.

But the fact is that he survived and even turned the tables, making his opponent his puppet.

Tianye saw through the clues, and Tianyan, who was also a Holy Tianyan of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Holy Maiden, obviously couldn't have been completely oblivious.

Moreover, compared to Tianye, she had lived with Tianyan for seven years.

Within this illusion, perhaps no one understands Xu Yuan's unique position within it better than Tianyan.

Despite being an outsider, he could increase his cultivation level naturally over time without needing to cultivate.

All these details combined make it not difficult for Tianyan to arrive at the answer.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced in the direction Tianye had left.

He suddenly understood Tianye's true intentions.

Her words before leaving were not meant to tell Tianyan the truth, since Tianyan could most likely deduce the outcome himself.

What Tianye wanted was to prevent them from having the chance to play dumb with each other.

It directly and bluntly shattered the fragile membrane between him and Tianyan, testing the humanity between the two of them.

At that moment, Xu Yuan seemed to hear Tianye's flirtatious voice chuckling and whispering in his ear:

"Come on, kill her. If you don't kill Sister Tianyan, she might kill you at any moment~"

In silence,

Xu Yuan let out a soft breath and chuckled with a sigh, "Next time we meet, I'll personally twist that bitch Tianye's head off."

Tianyan was silent for a moment, his voice very soft:

Are you angry?

Xu Yuan did not deny it:

"In just half a month, I've been tricked by this woman several times, and I'm really annoyed."

Although he sometimes enjoys manipulating human nature, he hates being the one being manipulated. If given the chance, he would teach that demoness who has been dead for 20,000 years a lesson she would never forget.

Upon hearing this, Tianyan's lips curled into a complex smile:

"Killing her directly might not cause her any pain, and might even excite her more."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled helplessly:

"That's why I hate this kind of crazy woman. She can find your weaknesses, but you can't exploit them. Even if you kill her in the end, you won't get any satisfaction from the revenge."

Tianyan's eyes curved into a smile, and he said softly:

"Then you'd better think carefully about her weaknesses."

"Indeed." Xu Yuan nodded.

"." Tianyan.

"." Xu Yuan.

After he finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again.

As it turns out, Tianye's plan succeeded once again.

Her instigation successfully created a rift, or rather, suspicion, between him and her.

The Charm God Mark in Xu Yuan's mind was the source of the dimensional world, a fact that was already clear to both of them.

As a Yingui that vanished 20,000 years ago, Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow can only hope to return to reality by possessing another's body. However, for Tianyan, who has entered the illusion, this can be achieved simply by killing him.

Just like breaking a formation, it can be forcibly broken by the power of heaven and earth, or it can be rendered ineffective from the inside by destroying the core of the formation.

If he, as an illusion, were to die directly, the entire illusion would naturally vanish.

A cold wind swept by, Xu Yuan's eyes drooped, his thoughts in turmoil.

At that moment, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

After that, he would probably have to be on guard against Tianyan's sneak attacks at all times, and he would have to wonder at all times whether she would try to escape the illusion by killing him and destroying the source.

Moreover, and more importantly, seven years of getting along with him made him very clear about Tianyan's strength.

If she were to recover to her full strength, even with his various trump cards such as the Charm God Dao Rhyme, he would not be her match in a desperate fight.

A pink light flashed across Xu Yuan's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at the Ghost Willow at his feet.

Rationally speaking, he felt he should kill her right now.

While he still has the ability to control this Saint-level Ancient Willow.

After all, human nature is really vulnerable to temptation.

The clash between the sages kicked up dust that mingled with the mist, and the convective winds felt like knives brushing against our cheeks.

Xu Yuan's breathing quickened slightly as his emotions gradually faded, replaced by a rational killing intent that began to dominate his mind.

He and this "washboard saintess" were enemies to begin with; killing her here would reduce the Prime Minister's Estate from a major foe.

Moreover, in this Sword-Forging Valley, Ghost Willow has already perished, and with Ghost Mist shrouding the area, he no longer needs to worry about the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion Master's deductions and pursuit. With his strength, he can survive in this All Swords Valley, which is filled with ghosts.

Are you going to kill Tianyan?

They fled together to survive, and to survive was to find a way out.

But now a solution is right in front of us.

In other words, from the moment he was identified as the source of the illusion, all the foundations of their previous cooperation collapsed, replaced by distrust and suspicion.

Just as he might suspect Tianyan against him, Tianyan, this "washboard saintess," might also suspect him of plotting against her to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his temples with slight frustration.

Damn it, what dark forest, huh?

But as the thought flashed through my mind,

The curtain fell silently, and on the ancient willow tree, where countless corpses hung upside down, the thousands of willow branches began to sway gently.

Some of them quietly climbed onto the main trunk of the ancient willow, creeping towards the spot where the two stood like vipers.

In the midst of the silence, the girl's clear voice broke the stillness:

"Xu Yuan, are you going to kill me?"

The thousands of willow branches paused in motion. Her voice carried a laugh, a very complex laugh, but the expression on her small face remained calm.

Xu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then smiled and pretended to be confused:

"What?"

Tianyan looked at him with clear eyes, a hint of amusement in his beautiful golden eyes:

"Have you forgotten? I can see things that you can't, including your connection with this Ghost Willow."

Xu Yuan remained silent.

He didn't want to kill Tianyan.

Unwilling in every sense of the word

It was partly because he didn't want to fall into Tianye's trap, and partly because of his feelings for her.

But the moment their trust crumbled, the two could no longer return to their previous way of getting along.

Seeing his expression, Tianyan gave a soft hum and murmured:

Sometimes, I really don't understand you, you bastard.

"What don't you understand?" Xu Yuan looked up, but didn't smile.

Tianyan took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on him:

"One moment he was risking his life so we could both survive, and the next he wanted to kill me."

Xu Yuan opened his mouth, many images flashing through his mind, but in the end he just shook his head:

"Different"

"."

Tianyan was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable bitterness spread through his chest.

no the same.

Yes, they are different.

Everything he had done and everything he had taken had one premise.

If they didn't do this, they would all die; this perilous adventure was their only way to survive.

Her long, black hair was ruffled by the wind, and her slender body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Tianyan sniffed, wanting to say a lot to him, wanting to give him a good scolding, but seeing his calm expression, all his words turned into a sad smile on his pale face.

Countless resilient willow branches gradually approached.

It seemed that they had realized this, and also sensed what might happen next.

The girl suppressed the complex emotions welling up inside her and kept blinking her beautiful, sparkling eyes as she looked at him.

Then,

He suddenly smiled.

The girl's smile could topple cities, and the swirling mist added a touch of poignant beauty.

A lot has happened in those seven years.

They had argued, fought, and had those embarrassing accidents happen.

These days, he was in a coma, feeling agitated and panicked about his uncertain fate.

But now, all of that is coming to an end.

All because of that crazy woman's blatant scheme.

With a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips, Tianyan slowly closed his deep golden eyes.

He's been this kind of person from the very beginning.

Even at the end, he remained the same person.

What a bastard.

The clash of the saints cleared away the mist, allowing a few rays of sunlight to fall upon the girl's exquisitely beautiful face. Her eyes were closed, making it impossible to discern her thoughts, but he could see her pale face tinged with a sickly rosy hue.

Xu Yuan clenched his fists, subconsciously.

After staring at her for a long time, Xu Yuan unconsciously curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile, but no sound came out.

He wanted to laugh, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't.

"Clatter"

In the desolate silence, Xu Yuan took a step toward Tianyan.

Tianyan's face remained calm, and he made no move.

Xu Yuan slowly approached her, while Tianyan remained quietly standing in place.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and slowly raised his hand to stroke her cheek.

As he looked at her, he noticed that her slender body seemed to tremble slightly.

But they didn't dodge.

His fingertips gently brushed across the girl's soft cheek, helping her tuck a few stray strands of hair behind her ear.

As their skin touched, Xu Yuan could indeed feel her body trembling slightly.

Xu Yuan took a light breath:

Is there anything you want to say to me?

After he finished speaking, there was a few moments of silence, with only the rustling of willow branches.

After a while,

Tianyan slowly opened his slightly reddened eyes, his voice calm and devoid of any emotion, and asked, "What else should I say now?"

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"For example, am I actually the source of this illusion?"

Tianyan smiled upon hearing this, but the smile looked more like a cry, and he looked away.

"Think about it and say no? Even if you deny it, we all know what's going on, don't we?"

Xu Yuan shook his head, raised his hand and nodded his head, his tone gentle:

"Yuchu did indeed place the source in my mind."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at the gnarled trunk of the ghost willow tree at his feet, and continued speaking to himself:

"This ghost willow tried to possess me, which triggered the source. Then its consciousness was erased by the source, leaving only instinct."

"The Charm Poison contained in the Charm God Tree Seed that it destroyed had seeped into its body. After I woke up, I used my Dao essence to control it."

Tianyan listened to his words and shook his silver teeth:

Why are you saying this?

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, which was gradually being shrouded in mist once again:

"I want to say, we won the bet."

After saying that, he stared at her without speaking.

They gazed at each other for a moment, the cold wind ruffling her dark hair. Tianyan lowered his eyes, his voice low:

What exactly are you trying to say?

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said in a low voice:

"Now that we've won the bet, why are you acting like you're going to die?"

"."

Tianyan's eyes widened instantly as she looked up at him, a hint of uncertainty in her beautiful golden eyes:

"You're not going to kill me?"

"Oh"

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, looking down at his palm, his voice low and somber. "I originally intended to kill him, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it."

"Pfft."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianyan chuckled softly, the gloom in his bright, clear eyes dissipating, replaced by amusement. His voice was clear and melodious. "You can't bear to part with it?"

"Yes."

Xu Yuan did not deny it. "Even if you raise a pig for seven years, you'll develop feelings for it, let alone a person you've shared life and death with."

Tianyan frowned slightly upon hearing this:

I feel like you're insulting me.

"It's not a feeling."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, "I am insulting you."

"."

The familiar scoundrel stirred up anger in Tianyan's heart, but these emotions quickly transformed into a sweet, Wan'er smile.

However, Xu Yuan didn't finish his sentence; he continued rambling on:

"Knowing what kind of person I am, and still coming back like this, aren't you just as stupid as a pig?"

"To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that you came back on purpose, and then put on this submissive act to gain my trust."

At this point, Xu Yuan, seeing the girl's expression shift from sunny to cloudy, changed the subject:

"But after thinking about it, I think it's probably not."

"After all, while I was controlling Gui Liu to fight that saint surnamed Luo, you had every opportunity to escape directly."

"So Tianyan, why didn't you escape back then?"

"."

A sudden silence fell between the two, with only the chilling wind high in the sky and the returning mist gently ruffling their robes.

After a long silence, Tianyan parted his red lips slightly:

"Because I don't think you'll kill me."

"Why?" Xu Yuan asked with a strange expression.

Tianyan's eyes, as bright as stars, stared unblinkingly at him:

"You almost died several times trying to save me."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and said somewhat impatiently:

"I already said, it's different. I did those things because it was the only way I could survive."

The wind howled, and the willow branches swayed.

"The same"

"Um?"

The girl looked at him, her voice barely audible:

"Xu Yuan, to me, everything you do is the same."

"."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

This woman is truly an idiot.

It's like a kitten lying on the ground, its soft belly exposed and defenseless to a ferocious beast wielding a knife.

Turning around, Xu Yuan walked towards a tree hole in the massive trunk, muttering disdainful remarks as he went:

"That's why I said you're an idiot as stupid as a pig."

Tianyan remained silent for a moment, then asked in return:

"You always criticize me, but aren't you the same?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan didn't stop walking and turned around:

"I won't entrust my life to anyone else."

"Then you still didn't kill me?"

"That just means they can't do it now, it doesn't mean they can't in the future."

All you're good for now is your stubbornness.

"You really think we wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Come on." Tianyan tilted his fair neck back and looked down at him.

Xu Yuan's eyes twitched. He stared at the woman for a few moments, then snorted coldly.

"You'll see when you try it."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Hmph~"

Watching his retreating figure, the girl's lips curled into a smile, her bare feet treading on thin air. "You can't do it now, and you'll never be able to later."

"Tsk."

Xu Yuan clicked his tongue, took a deep breath, turned around, and said coldly:

"Who told you to follow me?"

Tianyan blinked but didn't say anything.

Xu Yuan looked at him coldly:

Just because I can't bring myself to hurt you now doesn't mean you can continue to stay by my side.

"."

Tianyan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled mischievously and asked, "..."

"You can't keep this Ghost Willow under control forever?"

"."

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted.

He hadn't expected this "washboard saintess" to suddenly ask such a question.

The Charm Poison of the Charm God Tree Seed is limited; it can only paralyze the Ghost Willow's body for a few days at most.

Tianyan looked at his expression and explained softly:

"If you can continue to control this Saint-level Ghost Willow, you won't mind me staying by your side."

Xu Yuan took a light breath, no longer denying it, stopped in her tracks, and glanced at him sideways:

"Yes, I can only control it for a few days, so can you leave now? I feel very insecure having you by my side while I'm gone."

"Cannot."

Without a second thought, Tianyan stepped forward and stood half a meter in front of him, staring intently at him.

Xu Yuan clenched his fist slightly.

Separating temporarily was the best solution he could think of.

What does this "washboard saintess" mean now?

"What do you mean?"

"I have Charm Poison in my body, and..."

Tianyan rolled his eyes, his cool gaze carrying a hint of allure. "It's almost too late to suppress it now."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said coldly:

"Then I'll remove it for you right now, and then you can leave immediately."

"Don't want."

Xu Yuan's forehead veins throbbed.

Tianyan looked closely at his expression and asked:

Why do you insist on driving me away?

Why do you insist on staying by my side?

Xu Yuan retorted irritably, "Holy Maiden, don't you hate lecherous men like me the most?"

"Because you Charm Poison."

Tianyan raised his fair hand and gently stroked his burning cheek. "After this removal, what will happen in the future?"

"." Xu Yuan.

Tianyan lowered her jade hand and stared into his eyes:

"If you insist on driving me away, causing the Charm Poison to go out of control, then once this ghost willow goes out of control, I will come back and kill you."

You can't find me.

"I'll find you someday."

"How did you become just like Tianye?"

"It's just cause and effect."

Tianyan chuckled softly, a Wan'er smile on his face, "Anyway, if you leave me here, I'll just kill you when I find you, hmm."

Before the words were finished,

Bang!

A muffled thud.

Xu Yuan reached out and grabbed Tianyan's swan-like white neck, then slammed her against the tree trunk behind him.

A hint of pain appeared between the girl's brows, but her bright golden eyes remained stubbornly fixed on him.

Xu Yuan gritted his teeth, staring at her familiar, stunningly beautiful face:

"Are you trying to force me to hit you?!"

As the voice faded, silence fell upon the massive trunk of the Ghost Willow.

The fading sunlight shone through the closing mist.

Tianyan looked at him, who was clearly angry, sniffed, his nose stinging slightly, and softened his tone, his voice trembling slightly as he transmitted his thoughts:

Why do you insist that I would kill you in exchange for a chance to leave?

Xu Yuan's expression froze.

Tianyan clenched his fists, his long nails digging into his palms. "Over the years, how many times have you saved me, and how many times have I saved you? I was clearly prepared to spend the rest of my life in this illusion with you, but you..."

"Alright."

Xu Yuan released her hand, interrupting her words. His expression softened slightly, and he said softly:

"Here's what we'll do: you settle down somewhere, tell me the location, and I'll come and remove the Charm Poison from you every two weeks."

Every two weeks, the Charm Poison would reach a minor peak, and at this time, relying on the Charm God Dao Rhyme, he was confident he could deal with Tianyan.

Tianyan hearing this, Tianyan's eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed, and he murmured:

"No, knowing your personality, you probably won't come."

"."

Seeing that she was unmoved by reason, Xu Yuan raised his hand and pinched her smooth, delicate chin:

"I have already made the biggest concession possible."

Tianyan did not resist, letting him pinch him, and chuckled softly;

"Then just kill me."

"."

Xu Yuan felt his anger was about to burst, so he grabbed her neck and pinned her down beneath him.

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

Unexpectedly,

The girl's back was pressed against the broad branches of an ancient willow tree. Suddenly, her two slender arms reached out and hooked around his neck, pulling him down sharply.

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he pressed his entire body directly onto Tianyan's slender, boneless body.

Instinctively, she tried to control Guiliu to escape, but suddenly she heard Ru Lan voice in her ear:

"What do you want me to do to make you believe me?"

Within the chilling, Ghost Mist, the temperature quietly rose.

The man's presence drew closer, causing a sickly blush to creep Tianyan's cheeks, which then spread to his ears.

Those golden eyes were still dazzling, but they now held a hint of longing.

The physical injuries and the passage of time caused the accumulation of the Charm Poison within Tianyan's body to reach a critical point.

Xu Yuan stopped his thoughts and propped himself up:

"Let's put that aside for now, let me remove the Charm Poison for you first."

The ancient willow branches soar into the clouds, shrouded in wisps of mist.

She looked at the man who sat up on her, her red lips parted slightly, and she suddenly uttered a single word:

"Seal up."

Source Qi stagnates, the essence of the Dao becomes ineffective.

Xu Yuan turned around, puzzled.

"."

Silence, for a long while.

Tianyan bit his lip and looked away.

"Do not use the essence of Tao."

The sound was very soft, but clearly audible.

The mist, blown away by the strong wind and air currents, completely closed in at this moment, and everything around was shrouded in darkness, with only the girl's golden eyes shining in the darkness.

Xu Yuan was stunned.

In silence,

The girl raised her eyes, her gaze alluring as she looked at him straddling her waist, her voice trembling:

This is all I can give you right now.

"."

"."

"."

End of side story.

I'm taking a day off tomorrow to go over the main storyline; I've almost forgotten everything.
