#270 - I've been feeling a bit irritated lately

Jun Wuxie returned to the cave, intending to bid farewell to Shangguan Wan'er and fulfill his promise by giving her a Lieyang Flower seed.

As for asking Yan Qingcheng, that was out of the question, completely unnecessary.

He wasn't afraid of Shangguan Wan'er knowing about the Lieyang Flower seeds he possessed.

She was very wary of the "Military Saint" behind him and likely wouldn't do anything foolish.

Of course, the world wasn't without foolish, crazy people.

Like Qin Yuan of the Southern Domain Ancient City.

Did he think that having Zhao Yu betray him and putting on such a show would absolve him of responsibility?

Logically speaking, without evidence, it would be difficult to prove that Zhao Yu's betrayal was a pretense to kill him.

But if Ye Qingxue really wanted to take action, would she need to reason with them?

"I've always been very reasonable."

The moment Jun Wuxie had the thought, Ye Qingxue's voice echoed in his ears.

He couldn't help but be startled, abruptly turning around.

Ye Qingxue had left the Zhenyu Tower at some unknown time, suspended behind him.

"Miss Qingxue, could you please not pry into my thoughts?"

Jun Wuxie was somewhat speechless; everything he thought was seen clearly.

This gave him the feeling of being stripped bare.

"You don't have the right to object."

Ye Qingxue said indifferently, then lightly tapped her crystal-clear bare foot, instantly appearing at the end of the world.

"Where are you going?"

Jun Wuxie was dumbfounded.

"To reason with the Hunter Guild."

The cold, ethereal voice echoed in his ears, but her fairy-like figure had already disappeared at the end of his vision.

"Take it easy; the higher-ups of the Hunter Guild shouldn't know about this matter!"

Jun Wuxie shouted loudly into the distant sky, but there was no response.

"Hunter Guild, you're on your own…"

Jun Wuxie's lips twitched a few times.

He knew Qin Yuan's ending would be very miserable.

That fool was being clever, thinking he was untouchable without evidence.

He shook his head and returned to the cave, only to hear Shangguan Wan'er ask, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"Since you already heard the content of the conversation, can't you guess who it was?"

Jun Wuxie shrugged and walked straight to the cold pond, where a seductive female body was vaguely visible in the misty, cold water.

"Is it that Military Saint senior?"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice was somewhat agitated, and she was about to turn around.

"Don't move; just stay like that. If you turn around, your front will be exposed to me."

"You…"

Shangguan Wan'er's delicate body stiffened. She hugged her chest with both hands and shrank further into the pond, leaving only her chin and above the water, saying with shame and anger, "Rogue!"

"What do you mean?"

Jun Wuxie said in surprise, "I'm reminding you to avoid exposure, and you call me a rogue. Shouldn't I have reminded you, or do you want to be exposed in front of me?"

"Shameless!"

Shangguan Wan'er gnashed her teeth in hatred, her charming and alluring face covered in frost.

This bastard dared to verbally harass her like this!

In all these years, anyone who dared to utter even a single frivolous word in front of her had long turned into withered bones and yellow earth!

"That's enough. Rogue or shameless, I've seen it all before. I told you, I'm not interested in your body; I like them small."

"Jun Wuxie!"

Shangguan Wan'er trembled with anger, rebuking, "How could the Military Saint senior take a liking to such a shameless bastard like you? Why didn't she slap you to death!"

"Because I'm handsome and outstanding; she couldn't bear to."

Jun Wuxie teased with a smile, then took out a Lieyang Flower seed.

Shangguan Wan'er: …

She really didn't know what to say.

How could this guy's skin be so thick?

Just as she was thinking about how to retort, she sensed the incomparably pure Lieyang essence and was immediately shocked. Forgetting that she might be exposed, she suddenly turned around.

Seeing the sunflower seed-like object floating in Jun Wuxie's palm, burning with golden flames, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

Jun Wuxie's eyes also lit up.

Both of them looked at each other in shock.

"You… how do you have Lieyang Flower seeds?"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression was excited. She had seen the scene of the Lieyang Flower seed being auctioned at the Jubaozhai in the Southern Domain Ancient City.

Her sect's higher-ups had recorded it on a memory stone.

As soon as she asked the question, she saw Jun Wuxie staring blankly at her, seemingly not hearing what she was saying, and two strands of golden blood were slowly flowing from his nose.

Shangguan Wan'er then realized something was wrong, looked down, and immediately cried out in surprise, hugging her chest with both arms and sinking into the water, with only the area above her chin exposed, saying with shame and anger, "You bastard!"

Jun Wuxie also came back to his senses, touched his nose, looked at the blood on his finger, and said, "Sorry, I've been a little overheated lately."

Overheated?

Shangguan Wan'er gritted her teeth fiercely!

No one would believe such an excuse.

He kept saying he liked them small, but he ended up bleeding from his nose!

This hateful guy was just too shameless!

"Well, it seems I have to brew some heat-clearing and fire-purging tea when I get back." Jun Wuxie acted old and composed, his face not red and his heart not beating faster. He flicked the Lieyang Flower seed toward Shangguan Wan'er, saying, "I've fulfilled my promise to you, so we're even. Farewell."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.

He really couldn't stay any longer; it was too embarrassing, and he was dying of awkwardness inside.

He hadn't expected Shangguan Wan'er to suddenly turn around and with such a large movement.

As a result, all the scenery in front of her chest was displayed clearly in front of his eyes.

When he first entered the cave, although he saw even more, he was mentally tense at the time, in a life-or-death situation, and had no intention of appreciating it.

Now it was different; his body had fully recovered, he was full of energy, and his blood was surging.

Moreover, this Shangguan Wan'er was charming and alluring, with a somewhat妖里妖气aura, which was fatally attractive to the opposite sex.

Those full mountains, two points of crimson…

"Wait… wait a moment!"

"Is there anything else?"

Jun Wuxie stopped, but didn't turn around, facing away from her.

"The Blood-Transformation Demon Art cannot be passed on to others. In the future, if anyone from the Demon Sect asks you where you obtained this art, you must not say that I taught it to you!"

"I promise you."

Jun Wuxie was about to leave.

"Wait!"

"Anything else?"

"You… don't leave yet; I need you…"

"Sect Leader Shangguan!" Jun Wuxie's eyes twitched slightly, saying, "I can tell you very responsibly that other matters are negotiable, but if you desire my body, I will never let you succeed!"

"Jun! Wuxie!"

Shangguan Wan'er was about to explode with anger. What kind of person was this? How could he be so narcissistic, so shameless?

He could even say such words!

"Sect Leader Shangguan! There's no room for negotiation on this matter!" Jun Wuxie said decisively and resolutely. This Shangguan Wan'er actually said she needed him, which shocked him. "Threatening me is useless; please respect yourself!"

"You bastard! I meant I need you to protect me for two days while I refine the true essence in the Cangyan Three-Headed Lion's beast core!"

Shangguan Wan'er was somewhat frantic. She had never been so out of control in her life due to anger.

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie said somewhat speechlessly, "Then why didn't you say it clearly?"

"Blame me for not saying it clearly? I was interrupted before I could finish my sentence; I suspect you were deliberately teasing me! You're just a little rogue!"

"Well, Sect Leader Shangguan, you are a dignified sect leader. Look at your current state; aren't you a little out of control? Calm down, calm down."

Calm down…

Shangguan Wan'er really wanted to slap him to death.

"Do you agree to stay for two days or not?"

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

She needed someone to protect her now.

She originally thought it was very safe here, but Jun Wuxie broke in, and that Sect King named Zhao Yu broke in.

Now, she was approaching the critical period of refining the true essence. Once disturbed, it was very likely to cause serious consequences.

She had to try her best to prevent this from happening.

At the moment, the only one who could help her was this disciple of the Military Saint.

Jun Wuxie thought for a while, calculated the days, and realized there were still about ten days until the life-and-death duel with the Great River Sword Sect.

"Alright, it's agreed that it's only for two days. I have important matters and need to rush back to the sect within ten days."

He agreed, after all, this was the Sect Leader of the Demon Appearance Sect. Making friends with her and helping her out could be considered as having her owe him a favor, and there might be a time in the future when he would need her to repay this favor, right?
