Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1321 - 63: Hua Qiudao and Lee Ran
Watching the Immortal Phoenix Peacock see through everything, Zhou Yan felt increasingly troubled in his heart.
However, at this moment, he didn’t want Long Xianyin to feel upset again, so he displayed a gentle smile and comforted her, "Xianyin, I’m really fine now. The previous matters, I’ll explain them to you in detail when I have some free time."
Zhou Yan’s words were sincere, his gaze incredibly gentle, and when staring at Long Xianyin, the emotion in his eyes was so palpable that even the blind could easily discern it.
"Mm, as long as you’re okay."
Long Xianyin did not care about the presence of the Immortal Phoenix Peacock and Feng Jiu Xian, nor did she feel any embarrassment or awkwardness, instead, she spoke these words very candidly.
After this, she looked at Zhou Yan with a fervent gaze and said, "Previously, I indeed held some displeasure towards you, but ultimately you are my man, my only man. Even if I dislike, I can’t forget you. The deeper the memory, the destruction of my clansmen has increased my discontent with you.
But when I saw you face danger earlier, I realized that if you were no longer here, I wouldn’t have any strength to carry on, because everything would lose its meaning for me."
"Zhou Yan, now you should be satisfied. I wasn’t born for you, but after encountering you, I can only live for you. From now on, please don’t deceive me anymore, okay?"
Long Xianyin’s personality was extremely direct, with no sense of shame or modesty.
Regardless of the number of people watching, Long Xianyin wouldn’t hesitate about what she should say or do.
Because in her eyes, there was only Zhou Yan, and no one else.
It was a form of emotional focus, a simple person’s infatuation and obsession.
This was also what attracted Zhou Yan the most to Long Xianyin.
Zhou Yan didn’t want to become overly intimate with Long Xianyin just yet; it was clearly not the right time. Nevertheless, Long Xianyin’s words still touched Zhou Yan’s spirit.
Thus, Zhou Yan approached Long Xianyin without hesitation, took her into his arms, and kissed her cold lips fiercely.
This kiss stopped time and space.
Not until Long Xianyin’s delicate body softened slightly and her cold body gradually emitted a warm aura did Zhou Yan release her.
"Be good, wait for me a moment."
Zhou Yan gently stroked Long Xianyin’s pretty face and spoke softly.
"Mm."
Long Xianyin replied softly, her face still flushed with a pink hue, yet she didn’t awkwardly stand to one side, but quietly waited for Zhou Yan.
After Zhou Yan and Long Xianyin shared a moment of affection, he approached Feng Jiu Xian.
Feng Jiu Xian glared at Zhou Yan slightly, saying, "You’re still so wild and unruly."
"I can’t help it; I’m really charming, and Xianyin is indeed a very captivating woman."
Zhou Yan grinned at Feng Jiu Xian.
This recent near-death experience was far from simple. Zhou Yan proved many things through self-destruction, gained insight into many things, and understood more things.
Thus, all of Zhou Yan’s pressure vanished. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"I knew it would be like this. However, if you had won me over sooner, you would surely be much more fortunate now, and your path wouldn’t have been so rocky."
Feng Jiu Xian laughed as she spoke.
At this moment, she also unleashed a certain charming aura on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly, shook his head, and didn’t reply.
"Actually, for women, if you have enough ability, the first step is to conquer their bodies, making them develop an irreplaceable attachment. Then, you’ve already captured a large part of this emotion. And for you, many previous Goddesses’ Dual Cultivation could also be considered a way of progress, just like your relationship with Long Xianyin. Now look, your feelings for him are no less than your feelings for Mo Yuyao, right?"
Feng Jiu Xian discussed this matter with Zhou Yan in an analytical manner.
This gave Zhou Yan a peculiar feeling, as if Feng Jiu Xian were indeed an Extraordinary Woman, an Extraordinary Woman who would speak of such things with someone who hadn’t won her over. Is there anything more bizarre than this in the world?
Looking at Feng Jiu Xian’s equally stunning beauty and the noble aura stemming from her bloodline, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but feel touched.
"You’re right, but do I still have a chance now?"
Zhou Yan smiled, instead actively provoking Feng Jiu Xian.
"You actually have a chance now. Would you really make a move on me? I certainly wouldn’t refuse, but you definitely wouldn’t."
Feng Jiu Xian laughed, this smile was straightforward, as if she saw through Zhou Yan’s true nature and didn’t try to hide it.
"Cough cough, forget it. Even if I possess incredible capital and prowess, I can’t match the foundation of an Immortal Phoenix Peacock like you. With my abilities, facing you, I might only last an hour, and probably couldn’t even satisfy you."
Zhou Yan smiled wryly yet spoke these words sincerely.
"You are quite sincere, admitting things that lack masculine prowess so boldly. But if you didn’t say it, then you wouldn’t be Zhou Yan. However, even if you were willing now, I wouldn’t be. Because I’m ultimately not entirely who I was in the past. You are indeed a rare character, impressive in countless aspects, but for me who can enter other true Great Domains, you have no advantage in any aspect. So why should I choose you? In the Great Domain, there exists the true Eternal Life Tribes, their aura nobler than yours, combat power stronger, and abilities more remarkable exist aplenty. You are certainly outstanding here, but there, you can only be at the bottom."
Feng Jiu Xian smiled, her eyes filled with gentle affection, yet she very directly spoke these words.
The words sounded harsh, but indeed, they were the truth.
In fact, there was no truth more real than this.
But this wasn’t Feng Jiu Xian being realistic; after all, in every aspect, while Zhou Yan was decent, in the true Great Domain, he couldn’t compare to the real Eternal Life Tribes.
Therefore, Zhou Yan didn’t have any extra thoughts about Feng Jiu Xian’s words in his heart.
"Yes, that’s why I somewhat regret not having ravished you back then."
Zhou Yan spoke very bluntly as well.
But he didn’t mind, and neither did Feng Jiu Xian. As for Long Xianyin, she didn’t mind in the slightest. Her love was solely connected to Zhou Yan, and she wouldn’t pay much attention to anyone else, regardless of their relationship with him.
"Without dying once, one really doesn’t understand that Nirvana is merely a capability within Eternal Life. Moreover, the true Eternal Life Tribes possess eternal souls, immortal and indestructible, unless they perform their own Transformation—otherwise, they are indeed hard to kill."
Zhou Yan sighed in reflection and changed the topic.
Because Zhou Yan also knew that, no matter how bluntly he spoke to Feng Jiu Xian, her feelings for him were mostly appreciation and the pure, beautiful emotions of the past.
Unless Zhou Yan could somehow move Feng Jiu Xian’s heart again, this friendship would remain at this level.
Or perhaps, at most, Feng Jiu Xian could be a confidante to Zhou Yan, but their relationship was unlikely to progress further.
Maybe if Zhou Yan forcibly wanted to advance more, given her old affection for him, Feng Jiu Xian wouldn’t refuse, but doing so might cause their relationship to regress and exhaust the last threads of fondness.
That’s why Feng Jiu Xian didn’t mind teasing Zhou Yan, and while Zhou Yan’s words were blunt, he maintained a certain level of caution.
"Indeed, calculating the immortality of the Eternal Mantis means you have roughly comprehended the Secret Technique of Eternal Life. This death certainly required great resolve, destroying a lot of setups, which has both good and bad aspects. However, there’s one thing you can rest assured about—by following the rules of the Nine Origin Reincarnation, the situation won’t be too dire. Some things that you can think of, certain Great Powers can certainly think of as well."
Feng Jiu Xian pondered for a moment, and the Immortal Phoenix Peacock on her shoulder spoke naturally.
Zhou Yan wasn’t surprised that the Immortal Phoenix Peacock dared to speak so.
Zhou Yan also understood that since she could enter the true Great Domain, she must have ways to keep certain secrets from being revealed.
"That’s true, so knowing more isn’t necessarily a good thing, but who’s to blame for me being too smart?"
Zhou Yan sighed lightly.
This was a true sigh from the heart.
"Indeed, even among the truly eternal life tribes in the Great Domain, they might not surpass your intelligence."
The Immortal Phoenix Peacock commented with a hint of admiration.
"Immortal Phoenix Peacock, you mentioned before to be wary of Lee Ran, so... can you explain that now?"
Zhou Yan let out a deep breath and voiced a long-concealed doubt.
"What do you think of Hua Qiudao?"
Rather than answering, the Immortal Phoenix Peacock posed another question to Zhou Yan.
"Hua Qiudao..."
Zhou Yan fell silent.
Can some things be said or not?
Is the Immortal Phoenix Peacock trustworthy?
Since Feng Jiu Xian can tread into the outer Great Domain, where does the Immortal Phoenix Peacock’s source lie?
Things can get very complicated because this is a ruthless game where until the end, you might not know who’s a friend and who’s an enemy.
"Hua Qiudao is naturally an exceptional person, now inheriting the unparalleled inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas. Perhaps he is the hope for the future of the Human Clan."
Zhou Yan considered for a moment and shared his view without tagging Hua Qiudao as good or bad.
"Yes, Lee Ran is also such a person, or rather, such an Eternal Spirit."
The Immortal Phoenix Peacock echoed Zhou Yan’s ambiguous statement.
Zhou Yan was left speechless.
The Immortal Phoenix Peacock watched Zhou Yan with an enigmatic smile and said, "Have you considered that for both Hua Qiudao and Lee Ran, their own inheritances are actually complete? The incomplete ones are only yours and the Soul Burying Starfield’s inheritance, while theirs are entirely complete."
The Immortal Phoenix Peacock’s words startled Zhou Yan.
