"You all... saw that?"
At that moment, Jiang Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at the gathered geniuses, his gaze deep and shadowy as he spoke lightly.
In an instant, a chill spread through the entire space!
Everyone fell silent, feeling cold all over as an icy chill rose from their hearts, climbed up their spines, and shot straight to the crowns of their heads.
At this moment, they finally realized that witnessing that scene was not a good thing!
"I'm asking you a question. What do you mean by not answering?"
Amid the dead silence, Jiang Xuan's voice rang out once more, making everyone's bodies shudder violently.
[+77 Tension!]
[+88 Tension!]
[+99 Tension!]
"N-No, we didn't see anything!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan, what are you talking about? We don't know anything at all!"
Only then did the gathered geniuses begin to speak one after another, all hastening to state their positions.
"You didn't see anything? That's good."
Jiang Xuan swept his gaze across them and smiled faintly.
Whew—
Everyone let out a long breath. They had finally managed to snatch back their lives.
But Jiang Xuan's next words made them tense up once again.
"But I don't believe you."
Jiang Xuan's abyss-deep eyes fixed on them as those five words left his lips, making their hearts tremble once more.
They stared at Jiang Xuan anxiously, their faces deathly pale, not knowing what to do.
Could it be that Jiang Xuan truly intended to silence them all?
"Unless you show some sincerity."
At those words from Jiang Xuan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan, this is a fragment of a Supreme scripture that I found in the secret realm. I am willing to offer it to you!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan, this is a Saint King medicine that I was fortunate enough to obtain in the secret realm. I am willing to offer it to you!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan, this is a Saint weapon that I found in the secret realm. I am willing to offer it to you!"
"..."
Having just experienced such terror, the gathered geniuses treated Jiang Xuan's words as a pardon from heaven. Smiling, they hurriedly presented their treasures to him.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan... I didn't obtain any opportunities in the secret realm. I can only give you this spatial ring..."
After everyone had offered Jiang Xuan treasures, Wang Teng spoke tremblingly.
"That works too. I'll accept this gesture of yours."
Jiang Xuan walked over to Wang Teng, took the spatial ring, and gave him a deep look.
This fellow Wang Teng had previously wanted to join forces with Long Aotian against him and Leng Lingshuang.
Jiang Xuan had heard every word of that.
Once Jiang Xuan found another reason, he would not hesitate to erase Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's scalp went numb beneath Jiang Xuan's gaze, but he still nodded meekly and forced a smile. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuan, for not holding it against me!"
"Mm."
Jiang Xuan nodded. No longer paying attention to the others, he turned his gaze toward the Ancient Divine Tree that Wang Teng and Long Aotian had both wanted to fight over, then slowly walked toward it with Leng Lingshuang.
"Lingshuang, what kind of tree is this? It's so extraordinary!"
Jiang Xuan looked at Leng Lingshuang and asked.
"Above the Tai Chi Yin-Yang, the divine tree grows unrestrained. This should be an Ancient Divine Tree called the Yin-Yang Divine Tree. The fruits it bears are called Yin-Yang Divine Fruits, a type of Undying Medicine."
Leng Lingshuang merely glanced around at the surrounding environment before answering at once.
As expected of a reincarnated Empress. She truly has seen and learned much.
Then, Jiang Xuan looked toward the Yin-Yang Divine Tree. The Yin-Yang Divine Fruits growing upon it gave off a rich medicinal fragrance that refreshed the heart and delighted the soul, intoxicating all who smelled it. They were truly marvelous.
"There are exactly ten Yin-Yang Divine Fruits. Five for you and five for me."
Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, reached out, plucked all ten Yin-Yang Divine Fruits, and handed five of them to Leng Lingshuang.
Leng Lingshuang was slightly stunned by Jiang Xuan's decisiveness.
Everyone in the world valued profit.
Many Daoist couples with deep feelings had even become life-and-death enemies over matters of benefit.
Yet Jiang Xuan had not hesitated in the slightest before giving her half of this opportunity.
This made Leng Lingshuang silently praise Jiang Xuan's character in her heart.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Xuan."
Leng Lingshuang smiled brightly, her eyes curving like crescent moons, forming an intensely striking contrast with her earlier appearance as a devilish enchantress.
"Why say such things between us?" Jiang Xuan replied with an equally radiant smile.
"Mm!" Leng Lingshuang nodded, stood on tiptoe, and lightly pecked Jiang Xuan on the cheek.
"Hm?"
Feeling that fleeting softness against his cheek, Jiang Xuan froze. He looked at Leng Lingshuang in disbelief, only to see that her cheeks had turned crimson as well, like the setting sun at the horizon.
"Brother Jiang Xuan, this is your reward."
At this moment, Leng Lingshuang, the reincarnation of an Empress, was actually somewhat shy. She turned her face away, not daring to meet Jiang Xuan's eyes.
"Thank you. In return, I'll reward you too."
Seeing Leng Lingshuang's pitifully lovely appearance, Jiang Xuan could not help but smile. He lowered his head and lightly kissed her cheek as well.
At once, Leng Lingshuang's cheeks turned even redder, as though she were drunk.
Meanwhile, Wang Teng and the other gathered geniuses, who had witnessed this scene, twitched at the corners of their mouths, feeling exceptionally miserable inside.
[+55 Jealousy!]
[+66 Jealousy!]
[+77 Jealousy!]
"Are these guys jealous of me again?"
