BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21: Showdown
Chapter 21: Showdown
After an unknown period of time.
Liu Ruyan slowly regained consciousness.
The warmth and comfort around her made her a little reluctant to part.
A familiar smell came from the tip of her nose. It was very pleasant, but she could not remember it for a moment.
Finally, Liu Ruyan opened her eyes.
She suddenly realized that she was lying on a man\'s chest and her hands were wrapped tightly around his waist.
Liu Ruyan was stunned for a second before she exploded on the spot.
"Ah!!!"
"What did you do to me!!!"
Liu Ruyan let out an ear-piercing scream and quickly let go.
"You… Boohoo…"
Liu Ruyan still wanted to say something, but Ye Xuan pinched her face.
"I give up. You tried your best to crawl into my arms when you were sleeping, and now you\'re asking me?" Ye Xuan was speechless. He pinched Liu Ruyan\'s mouth with two fingers, making her mouth pout into an "8" shape.
"Mm… No… You\'re talking nonsense…"
Liu Ruyan shook her head desperately. She would never believe it.
How could she do such a thing? Ye Xuan must have slandered her!
That must be it!
"What a strange woman…"
At this moment, Ye Xuan looked at the increasing favorability above Liu Ruyan\'s head. He could not wrap his head around it.
…
"Alright, let\'s go eat something since you\'ve woken up."
"It\'s been a long day."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan finally quieted down, Ye Xuan let go of his hand and threw her a clean dress.
Ye Xuan quickly got off the bed and used the "Body Cleansing Technique" to clean himself before putting on his clothes.
Liu Ruyan got off the bed. She felt that her body was a little dirty and wanted to use the Body Cleansing Technique.
However, after she formed the hand seal, she remembered that she was now an ordinary mortal. She did not have any spiritual energy and could not use the Body Cleansing Technique at all.
"Hey!"
"Wash me too, you bastard!"
Liu Ruyan hurriedly shouted, but Ye Xuan left the room as if he did not hear her.
"B*stard!"
"Why did I meet such a stinky man!!!"
Liu Ruyan was furious.
However, there was nothing she could do. She took the towel dejectedly and entered the bathroom.
…
After leaving his courtyard, the first thing Ye Xuan did was to send someone to find Yixuan.
He had obtained Yixuan\'s location from Liu Ruyan. It was not too late to look for her now. After all, it had only been a few days.
Especially since Yixuan had just gotten pregnant, and she was also his concubine, Ye Xuan naturally would not give up.
After dealing with this matter, Ye Xuan went to the kitchen and personally made some delicious dishes before coming to Xia Yuning\'s courtyard.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Senior Sister, are you back?"
Ye Xuan stood at the door and gently knocked on it.
"Come in."
Xia Yuning\'s calm voice sounded from the courtyard.
Ye Xuan was delighted. Then, he hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
In Ye Xuan\'s heart, Xia Yuning was the real family member, and Liu Ruyan counted as half a family member.
When he was in the harem, he had tricked Xia Yuning a little. Now, he definitely had to apologize to prevent her from feeling estranged.
He entered the courtyard.
Ye Xuan saw Xia Yuning sitting on the stone bench and gently wiping the long sword in her hand with a white handkerchief.
Xia Yuning\'s longsword was a Grade-2 magic weapon. It was a greeting gift from Gu Qingyao.
Grade-2 magic weapons were extremely rare and they were powerful. They could increase Xia Yuning\'s combat strength by at least 30%.
"Gulp…"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan could not help but gulp.
Ten years ago, in the back mountain of the sect, he had personally seen Xia Yuning use this longsword to split a Level 1 demonic beast into two with a single slash. It was extremely bloody.
"Senior Sister, are you alright…"
"Have you caught the demonic cultivator?"
Ye Xuan hurriedly sent over the delicacies he had prepared and sat beside Xia Yuning with a smile.
"What do you think?"
Xia Yuning rolled her eyes unhappily and was speechless.
Wasn\'t this asking the obvious?
With a scheming Junior Brother like you interfering, what could I catch?
…
"Ahem, Senior Sister, come and taste my cooking. Although you\'ve abstained from eating, this is something I got up early in the morning to prepare for you. Hehehe~"
Ye Xuan stopped dwelling on this topic and hurriedly pointed at the delicacies in front of him with a smile.
Xia Yuning glanced at the delicacies in front of her and casually picked up a piece of roasted meat drenched in honey to taste before revealing a satisfied smile.
"At least you have a conscience."
"I won\'t tell Master about this for now, but you have to tell me the truth."
Xia Yuning glanced at Ye Xuan and said calmly.
Although her tone was calm, there was a hint of determination in it.
"Fine…"
"It\'s like this…"
"Yesterday…"
…
Ye Xuan also knew that this was Xia Yuning\'s bottom line. Although he could still say nothing, it would inevitably cause an estrangement in Xia Yuning\'s heart.
Moreover, Ye Xuan knew that Xia Yuning was genuinely good to him, so he told her everything in detail, but he hid some key points.
…
"You… are really capable…"
After listening to Ye Xuan\'s story, Xia Yuning was stunned on the spot. She looked at Ye Xuan quietly and did not know how to complain.
She really did not expect this.
A great demonic cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm who extracted Yang to nourish Yin had now been reduced to a mortal, and Ye Xuan had even…
After listening to Ye Xuan\'s explanation, Xia Yuning understood everything.
Ye Xuan did not collude with the demonic cultivator, nor did he help the demonic cultivator escape, nor did he trick her.
Previously, he had stopped them purely because Ye Xuan was lustful and wanted the demonic cultivator to bear a child for him…
Xia Yuning mourned for the demonic cultivator in her heart for 0.00001 seconds before she looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "In other words, that demonic cultivator is still in your harem?"
"That\'s right." Ye Xuan nodded and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xia Yuning and said warily, "Senior, what are you going to do? It wasn\'t easy for me to take her down. You can\'t do anything rash!"
"Look at how scared you are. Am I that kind of person?"
Xia Yuning pouted and cast a disdainful glance at Ye Xuan.
"Then what do you want to do, Senior Sister?"
Ye Xuan was still a little worried. He was afraid that Xia Yuning would secretly kill Liu Ruyan.
After all, demonic cultivators were existences that were hated by everyone. Furthermore, Xia Yuning was full of righteousness and there was a high chance that she would do such a thing.
As for Liu Ruyan\'s previous identity as a demonic cultivator, Ye Xuan did not mind at all. He only cared about favorability.
After all, in the immortal cultivation world, who did not have a few lives in their hands? Those who did not know how to kill would have been eliminated long ago.
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t do anything to her."
"However, she\'s a demonic cultivator after all. Moreover, I see that her body is fine. She can clearly continue cultivating. I\'m just afraid that you\'ll suffer a backlash."
Xia Yuning took a sip of the fresh salty soy milk and rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan.
