A Gift

With the moon and stars shining brightly, the Xu Estate had become much quieter after the search and rescue operation was completed.

Amidst the ruins,

Xu Yuan saw a vast expanse of corpses, covered with white sheets, lying flat on the open ground.

Hundreds of bodies were densely packed together.

In the flickering firelight, the crimson blood seeping onto the white cloth looked eerie and sinister.

Walking back to his attic courtyard, Xu Yuan sighed deeply, suppressing what he had just seen in his heart, and after slightly adjusting his mindset, pushed open the door and entered.

His room was large, but also very empty.

Because he exchanged most of the valuable and antique furniture for silver.

Once inside,

Xu Yuan's sensitive Will Soul immediately sensed that the almost liquid Source Qi in the room was swirling towards a certain place.

Beyond an embroidered screen, Xu Yuan saw the end of the vortex of Source Qi.

Ran Qingmo was sitting on the ground, quietly cultivating with her eyes closed.

The moonlight was like a waterfall, and the black clothes were as dark as ink; the stillness was beautiful.

As she approached, Ran Qingmo dispelled her Cultivation Method and slowly opened her eyes.

They looked at each other for a few moments.

Xu Yuan asked with a slight chuckle:

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

Ran Qingmo answered truthfully in a low voice:

"The bed... smells."

Xu Yuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked down at himself.

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

"Not mine?"

Xu Yuan murmured something, then his gaze froze.

If it's not his, then it must be Su Jinxuan.

Although she was never allowed to stay overnight, this Succubus Miss naturally possessed a captivating rose fragrance.

It's normal for some residue to remain, more or less.

Thinking,

Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo again; that Big Ice Block guy really had a keen nose.

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

"It should be Su Jinxuan. I was originally planning to introduce you to her."

"Um."

"Her constitution helps me cultivate my Will Soul. When she occasionally returns to this room, it's mostly because she left behind things during her cultivation."

"Oh."

"."

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

Xu Yuan turned around and looked over when he saw this.

Ran Qingmo kept staring, but didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yuan asked softly.

"Xu Yuan, there seems to be something she gave you down there." Ran Qingmo's voice was calm and expressionless.

"."

Xu Yuan was slightly surprised.

The mysterious Origin Beginning arrived so suddenly, how did that Su the Succubus even have time to leave something for him?

However, after a moment's thought, Xu Yuan's surprise diminished considerably.

Before the plan was put into action, Su Jinxuan deliberately left a message saying that Qin Mo would most likely come to rescue her after he woke up, and that he should not stay with her, otherwise his life might be in danger.

In the midst of the fierce battle between the three Grandmaster and the Saint's Remnant Soul, which was like a natural disaster, Su Jinxuan, as an ordinary person who had never cultivated, was naturally unable to judge who would win or lose.

If their Prime Minister's Estate loses, she will definitely be taken away.

Given the possibility of him being taken away, it's not surprising that we left him some things.

The surprise vanished, replaced by curiosity.

Xu Yuan was curious about what the Succubus Miss would leave him.

letter?

Or something else?

In the silence of the room,

After bypassing Ran Qingmo, Xu Yuan slowly walked to the jade bed and stood there, reaching out to take the Cold Jade Pillow.

As soon as the Cold Jade Pillow was pulled open, Xu Yuan's eye twitched involuntarily.

The item looks familiar, is beautiful, and is very eye-catching.

Despite being Charm Soul Demon Body, Su Jinxuan prefers to wear simple, plain clothes.

However, as her cultivation progressed, her attire changed slightly, and she would occasionally wear attack speed-boosting equipment when she came over each night.

Food and sex are human nature.

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

The Succubus Miss didn't seem to care about his gaze; in fact, she seemed to enjoy the way he looked at her—a gaze that suggested he wanted to have sex with her but couldn't get rid of her.

Now that he's gone, he's left this thing on his bed.

As expected of Charm Soul Demon Body?

He stared silently at the long strip of white silk fabric for a few moments, then suddenly realized that someone else seemed to be beside him, watching with him.

"." Xu Yuan.

He turned around and met the girl's clear, serene eyes.

"." Ran Qingmo.

Without leaving a trace, Xu Yuan calmly stored the items left behind by Su Jinxuan into his Sumeru Ring, and said without batting an eye:

"What's wrong?"

"."

Ran Qingmo turned her gaze and continued to stare at his Sumeru Ring.

Xu Yuan coughed lightly, directly changing the subject:

"By the way, I just went to see Xu Changge and already used the Communication Crystal to tell my father about you."

Upon hearing this, Ran Qingmo was immediately drawn to Xu Yuan's gaze, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of nervous anticipation.

"Um, what did your father say?"

"."

Having spent so much time together, it's rare to see such an expression on this Big Ice Block face.

The Sword Sect is truly important to her.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

He refused.

"."

The light in Big Ice Block's beautiful eyes visibly dimmed.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan changed the subject:

"However, it's not a complete rejection."

Ran Qingmo's eyes lit up again.

Xu Yuan suppressed his urge to continue teasing her, turned around, and sat down in the chair by the window.

Ran Qingmo followed silently behind him.

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

"Sit."

Ran Qingmo sat down upon hearing this.

Xu Yuan carefully considered his wording:

"First of all, it's impossible for me to get my father to stop the plan. Just like I told you in that dilapidated temple, he won't change his mind just because you kidnapped me."

"..." Ran Qingmo pursed her lips.

"However, I can offer you another way."

"You say."

"It's simple, just get the Tianyuan Sword Sect to stand with my father."

After thinking for a moment, Ran Qingmo asked:

"Xu Yuan, do you want me to persuade Master?"

She's not stupid at all.

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

"But Master won't listen to me." Ran Qingmo, somewhat disappointed.

Xu Yuan looked at her, her beautiful eyes lowered, and gently patted her shoulder to draw her attention back.

"Just because your master doesn't listen now doesn't mean he won't in the future. A person's choices at different times can be completely opposite."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan smiled at her, his eyes crinkling:

"And I'll help you too."

"."

Seeing his serious expression, Ran Qingmo's eyes widened slightly.

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

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

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Yuan glanced at the ruins outside the window, coughed lightly, and changed the subject:

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation here."

It's not like it's the first time we've shared a room, so there's nothing to worry about.

certainly,

Tonight, he will sleep in the bed, and she will sleep on the floor to cultivate.
