Chapter 188
âLook, this is Broken Sword Cliff of Taihua Sect.â At this moment, Ye Xuan was leading Hu Qianzao, strolling along the paths of Taihua Mountain. He pointed to a peak and said to Hu Qianzao.
To be honest, Ye Xuan was never really a paragon of virtue; his character was even somewhat wicked.
However, he had been portrayed by the script as a passionately virtuous gentleman for some time now, so much so that Ye Xuan himself felt he was becoming quite rigid.
Walking with Hu Qianzao, he had actually managed to restrain himself from making any improper moves on her. Perhaps, possibly, maybe it was the immortal energy of Taihua Sect that suppressed his wicked thoughts.
Nevertheless, while talking, Ye Xuanâs gaze couldnât help but be drawn to Hu Qianzaoâs charming appearance, and he felt his heart stir.
He unconsciously reached out for Hu Qianzaoâs hand and took it in his own. At this moment, Hu Qianzao stiffened slightly, and her nine tails swished unnaturally behind her.
Although her mind was filled with memories of intimate moments with Ye Xuan from her past as Hu Qianâer, now being held by Ye Xuan made her feel incredibly shy.
Holding Ye Xuanâs hand, she felt both bashful and happy. If she didnât speak now, it would be too awkward.
Her eyes followed Ye Xuanâs pointing to Broken Sword Cliff, and there on that massive cliff face, neatly aligned, were two lines of enormous characters.
âWithin the myriad sword lights, a single star falls from the southern pole.â Looking at those two huge lines of characters, Hu Qianzao felt as if she could faintly see a sword immortal dancing within the words.
Powerful as a rainbow, commanding as a star, the sword light stretched for millions of miles.
âThis sword intent feels very similar to the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique you demonstrated earlier, doesnât it?â While allowing Ye Xuan to hold her hand, suppressing the shyness in her heart, Hu Qianzao turned to Ye Xuan and asked.
âThis is indeed a technique from the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique.â Ye Xuan said, âIt is also the most difficult technique in the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique.â
âIâve heard that aside from the Taihua ancestor, the Bixia Zhenren, no one else has ever successfully practiced this technique before.â
âBut you have succeeded⊠Ye Xuan, you are amazing.â Hu Qianzao praised Ye Xuan, âYou might become the second Bixia.â
Bixia Zhenren, a being not of this world, is an immortal descended to earth, whose techniques mortals could not directly practice without simplifying countless times.
Yet Ye Xuan had succeeded and such talent truly deserved admiration.
Hearing Hu Qianzaoâs praise, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, âItâs just that fate has arrived.â
If it werenât for the system, he would actually just be an ordinary person.
âYe XuanâŠâWatching the Ye Xuan who was treating her gently, Hu Qianzaoâs face turned slightly red, and then, with a bit of guilt, she said, âIâm sorryâŠâ
Thinking about everything that had happened before, Ye Xuan had given his all, yet she had hurt Ye Xuan deeply.
Although it was later proven that it wasnât her who had abandoned Ye Xuan, but that she was attacked by the Heart Devouring Gu, she still felt very indebted to Ye Xuan.
After all, she might be innocent, but Ye Xuan was truly the most innocent. freeweÉnovÄl.coɱ
âAlright, alright, why bring up apologies again, letâs let bygones be bygones.â Ye Xuan patted Hu Qianzaoâs head, comforting her.
The plot was all arranged by him, anything that happened was actually his own doing, and he certainly didnât mind what had happened in the past.
However, he was originally trying to comfort Hu Qianzao, but while patting her head, he unconsciously touched her ears.
Those large fox ears, Ye Xuan had actually noticed them a long time ago, but he had no chance to touch them before, and now he accidentally touched them, his hand instinctively went to pinch them.
âUm~â When Ye Xuan touched her ears, Hu Qianzao unconsciously let out a soft moan. Immediately, her face turned even redder.
âStrangeâŠâ Watching Hu Qianzaoâs reaction, Ye Xuan curiously said, âI just touched your ear, why such a big reaction, do foxes, like cats, find it comfortable to have their ears pinched?â
ââŠâ Hu Qianzaoâs nine tails swayed gently, and she said somewhat helplessly, âI donât know, Iâve never let anyone touch my ears before⊠it feels kind of strange.â
This feeling of having her ears touched, as an animal instinct, is naturally very comfortable. However, she is a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, with her own dignity, and it wouldnât be possible to let people touch her ears casually like ordinary animals.
Furthermore, beings like demons, spirit beasts, or dragons absolutely do not allow others to touch their true physical features easily.
Otherwise, wouldnât that be like being treated as a pet? As the head of the Jade Fox Palace, she certainly couldnât let people treat her with such disrespect.
But now, being touched by Ye Xuan, she didnât feel repulsed at all, in fact, she even enjoyed and looked forward to it.
âReally?â Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldnât help but smile mischievously, âThen let me touch your tail.â
âAhâŠâ Hearing this, Hu Qianzao panicked. âThis⊠this isnât appropriateâŠâ
She quickly shook her head, âThere are so many people hereâŠâ
Just being touched on the ear had such a big reaction, Hu Qianzao worried she would embarrass herself if touched on the tailâŠ
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked around and saw a few female disciples of Taihua Sect curiously gathered nearby, watching them.
âIs she the head of the Jade Fox Palace⊠so beautiful.â
âIsnât she? I heard she and Brother Ye Xuan have a predestined relationship, so in this life they are supposed to be Dao companions.â
âA predestined relationship, how enviableâ!â
âWhen will I ever have a lover with whom I have a predestined relationshipâŠâ
âThere must be a very tragic love story here, Sister Yuxin, you must quickly find a way to write it down for us to enjoy.â
âDonât worry, with me, Yulou Chunxiao here, such good material will not be missed. When I have time, Iâll immediately go to the Jade Fox Palace to gather information and write a novel about an epic romance.â
At this moment, a pretty young girl showed an excited expression, the fire of gossip burning brightly in her eyes.
âWow, thatâs great, Sister is going to write again, then I must hurry to invite Uncle Qingâao over to do the illustrations for Sisterâs new work.â
Listening to the conversation of these Taihua female disciples, Ye Xuan couldnât help but be speechless.
Taihua Sect is actually a very gossipy sect, itâs just that before he had no flying ability and couldnât freely travel between peaks.
Now, he finally witnessed the gossiping capabilities of these disciples. Not only writing novels but also inviting an uncle to do life drawing illustrations?
âWhat are they saying?â Hu Qianzao curiously asked Ye Xuan.
âItâs nothing.â Ye Xuan smiled, âItâs just some hobbies of the disciples of Taihua Sect. Most disciples of Taihua Sect are proficient in either the qin or the sword, and there are many who are skilled in poetry and music.â
âSome people, having nothing else to do, have developed some hobbies. For example, that sister who claims to be Yulou Chunxiao, she is a very famous novelist.â
âHer romance novels are very popular, and she has a well-known nickname in the literary world, which is Yulou Chunxiao.â
âAs for that Uncle Qingâao, he is one of the Seven Sword Saints of Taihua Sect, usually very proud and arrogant, but he has a unique hobby of drawing beauties.â
âSo Sister Yuxin often invites him to do illustrations for her novels, and they split the income seventy-thirty. They said they want to write our love story into a novelâŠâ
Hearing Ye Xuanâs explanation, Hu Qianzao suddenly felt a bit excited. Although she truly did owe Ye Xuan, a man as passionately devoted as he was certainly deserved to be written about in a novel and praised by others.
A plan began to form in her mind.
