Chapter 948: Chapter 296: Forget It If You Won’t Say! Another Night of Pity! (2)

"Flattering me won’t make me help you."

Yuan Xuan directly saw through Yuchi’s honest smile. While Yuchi was smilingly pouring tea for her, she said slowly:

"The stronger one’s power, the more timid they become. The weaker one’s power, the more reckless they are. This is a typical case of ’those with bare feet fear no shoes’.

"Thus, although I am kind to you, it is because you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, not because you are Yuchi. I have no emotional attachment to you. I can live well alone. Therefore, I still hope you can keep your promise to leave Cuncha City and not return in any way."

How heartless... Yuchi smiled:

"I will keep my promise. After tonight, I will leave tomorrow. Without your permission or call, I won’t return to Cuncha City. Is that alright?"

Yuan Xuan’s gaze warmed slightly:

"Thank you."

"It’s simply a mountain cannot have two tigers. I trust you understand how I feel now. After all, we are both sect leaders. You wouldn’t want a cultivator rivaling you to suddenly appear next to your sect, right? It’s an unstable threat to both yourself and your disciples."

"So, it’s not because I dislike you, Yuchi; it’s because I dislike you being a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If you were a small sprout in the Spirit Storage stage, I would be very willing to entertain you and even chat more, maybe even exaggeratedly cultivate some emotions. It would be quite easy."

"But I’m not that easy to pursue."

After completing her words, she softly smiled.

Yuchi said: "Actually, I’m a Golden Core stage cultivator. I think we can try to get along harmoniously?"

Yuan Xuan was taken aback: "You’re joking, sir."

She absolutely didn’t believe it.

Nascent Soul is the second divine soul, and it provides a second layer of perception. Unlike hiding things like Spiritual Qi, the divine soul is hard to conceal. She can sense Yuchi’s strong divine soul, likely even surpassing her own strength. In such a case, you claim to be at the Golden Core stage?

What, do you bully me thinking I know nothing?

She finally asked: "You know I am called Yuan Xuan, so what is your name?"

Yuchi: "Xiao Xiangong."

Yuan Xuan nodded: "Xiao Xiangong..."

Paused slightly.

"..."

Then she looked at the laughing Yuchi with a gaze reserved for fools, and slightly coyly said to Yuchi: "Alright, alright, don’t bother saying, it’s fine. Always thinking of taking advantage of me."

"You should take good care of Xiahou Xuexiang. Disciples like her are quite troublesome, but as ancient books say, bad luck is also a kind of fortune, in essence no different from luck. If you can transform bad luck into good fortune, it will be a great thing for you, your sect, and Xiahou Xuexiang."

"But you’ll need to spend a lot of effort on her. You must certainly visit Medicine Master Valley and Divine Skill Temple. Solving this within a hundred or so years is already impressive."

"If it weren’t for me being unable to leave Cuncha City and my sect, I would gladly agree if Xiahou Xuexiang wanted to join my sect. Perhaps I could transform her into good luck. These matters can’t be directly clarified; it’s up to human efforts."

Such a matter of human effort indeed. Yuchi breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out an elixir from his sleeve. Passing it to Yuan Xuan amid her curiosity, he said: "Given our dealings of five million taels, I wouldn’t leave you empty-handed. This Heaven-Breaking Pill is for you."

Heaven-Breaking Pill... such a good thing. Yuan Xuan had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage only in the last decade, yet had never consumed such an elixir!

Its high cost aside, the main issue is the need to build relationships with many forces, making it quite troublesome, valued around a million per pill.

So Yuan Xuan generously accepted it, looking at Yuchi much more kindly, realizing that he wasn’t here in Cuncha City just to exploit:

"I didn’t expect you to have such treasure. You claim you’re not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator? You say you’re not a pig’s trotter? As mother said before, never believe a man’s words. When trying to coax you to his bed, his wisdom is more terrifying than the heavens."

Yuchi then chuckled mischievously.

After Yuan Xuan lifted her icy, elegant face slightly, he shyly scratched his head.

Is that so?

I don’t really think so.

...

Yuchi and Yuan Xuan were having a pretty good chat, even though Yuchi couldn’t ask many questions due to his situation, he managed to tease some clues out from Yuan Xuan.

Meanwhile, Danyue Tower was quite different.

The guests there were chatting casually while being quite curious about what was happening behind the barrier. Why would Yuan Xuan, such a stern female sect leader, suddenly rush over to chat with someone from Celestial Craft Workshop? This sort of thing had never been seen before.

Previously, this lady would come here, perform a cold ritual, sit alone through the night, and leave the next day.
