29: What the hell, you want to take advantage of my body?

“No.”

Opposite the pure white light cluster was a light blue light cluster, and she coldly refused.

“But, but, Brother Gu Yan helped me so much before…”

“Help you? Wake up, he was only doing it for himself. The benefits he gained from you back then were far, far more than you can imagine.”

“Besides, if he truly cared about you, why didn’t he even tell you when he went to the Xuan Realm?”

“If he truly cared about you, surely you didn’t feel nothing when he tried to do something just now?”

“It’s just fortunate that fellow appeared, otherwise, I would have slapped him unconscious anyway. What a thing, wanting to covet my body.”

The light blue light cluster sneered.

“No, that was him…”

“Alright, stop thinking so much about a dying man.”

“The person he offended this time has too great a background. For that person to kill Gu Yan is as simple as crushing an ant.”

“Although I don’t know what he ultimately wants to do to Gu Yan, you must not get involved in this matter. I don’t want to ruin our grand plan for such a piece of trash.”

The light blue light cluster’s resolute words made the pure white light cluster extremely anxious. She quickly said, “But, but we can’t make a deal with a tiger either. That fellow is clearly not a good person, and helping him might lead to unexpected consequences.”

The light blue light cluster said, “I know, but what can be done? He offered too much. Fifty tons, a hundred Saint-tier weapons. You don’t understand what this means.”

“But what if he has ill intentions…”

“Ill intentions? Heh heh, if he wants to scheme against me, he might be mistaken.”

A cold light flickered in Bai Xin'er’s eyes.

Her former strength was beyond the imagination of these Saints in the Xuan Realm.

A Quasi-Emperor.

A magnate who almost walked the Emperor Road.

As long as she was cautious enough, no one in this small Xuan Realm could scheme against her.

“Ugh ah ah…”

Just then, Gu Yan’s painful groans sounded from the ground.

Bai Xin'er whispered to herself, “Alright, little sister, since things have come to this, hand over control of the body to me for the near future.”

“Don’t blame me for being heartless. Being targeted by such a ruthless person, Gu Yan has no future at all.”

“A mere Gu Yan, fifty tons of Saint-tier weapons – his life can be considered worth it.”

She raised her jade palm, and Gu Yan, who had just shown signs of waking, was directly knocked unconscious again.

[Bai Xin'er and the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Gu Yan have developed a rift. Destiny Value decreased by five thousand points. You have obtained a heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

Chu Feng, who had just returned to the Xuan Realm, received the System notification and smiled broadly.

This personality of Bai Xin'er was completely different from the other innocent and timid one. She was completely dark inside.

It seemed that Gu Yan’s situation in the Wasteland Small World might not be too good going forward.

System: Respected Host, it seems the female protagonist was not successfully captured this time.

“What are you rushing for? How can capturing a female protagonist be so quick?”

Chu Feng said indifferently, “One body, two souls. This is high difficulty, high difficulty, understand?”

System: …

You were very quick before.

Chu Feng was not in a hurry with this capture mission.

Indeed, the progress of this meeting with Bai Xin'er was not fast.

Compared to when he captured Nangong Qin, it was a world of difference.

Ultimately, the two female protagonists were completely different.

Nangong Qin, as the Chongxuan Pavilion Master, carried a heavy burden, had a steady and responsible personality, and also bore the fate of the Nangong clan, having long prepared for sacrifice in her heart.

As long as the benefits offered were sufficient and the right approach was taken, capturing her was naturally easy.

But Bai Xin'er was different. With one body and two souls, capturing her was equivalent to capturing two women with vastly different personalities.

Furthermore, this woman’s origin was a mystery.

Although it was only a brief contact, Chu Feng could feel the arrogance in this woman’s bones, as well as… a faint, almost imperceptible disdain for him.

One must know that even though Bai Xin'er had already assumed he was a Great Saint, she still showed disdain, which meant only one possibility.

She was at least a Saint King, or even a stronger existence, in the past.

Such powerful individuals do not easily value Saint-tier weapons.

He could tell that Bai Xin'er was willing to agree simply because she was poor.

If he wanted to move her with his ancestral sincerity, like he did with Nangong Qin.

Perhaps he would need hundreds of tons of extreme dao emperor weapons?

If Chu Feng had them, he would have given them to her.

He certainly wouldn't lose out.

If he gained both her body and heart, wouldn't these things still return to their original owner?

The key was that he wasn't a tycoon and didn't have surplus grain at home, so he could only plan for the long term, starting with the heart before the body.

…

The next day, in the Wasteland Small World.

Gu Yan woke up leisurely in the small bamboo house, his head throbbing.

“Ah~ My head hurts so much. What happened last night?”

He felt his throat dry and looked around blankly.

He was lying on a bamboo bed, surrounded by bamboo walls on all sides. A window opened to the east, and sunlight streamed in, illuminating the simple furniture and decorations inside the house.

Was this last night’s room?

Where was White Heart's Child?

Gu Yan, with a pale face, propped himself up on the bamboo bed and struggled to stand. He carefully recalled last night.

He only remembered that just as he was about to hold Bai Xin'er’s small hand last night, his vision went black.

“Before I fainted, I seemed to see a figure?”

Gu Yan frowned in thought, his heart skipped a beat. After careful recollection, that figure strongly resembled his nightmare, Chu Feng.

He immediately denied it in his heart: “No, that’s impossible!”

“This is a hidden place where the Yao Race congregates, and there’s even a Great Saint presiding here.”

“It’s impossible for Chu Feng, a Saint, to find this place.”

“Even if he found this place, he would be easily suppressed by Saint Azure.”

“It seems I must have too deep an obsession with Chu Feng, causing hallucinations.”

“I should find White Heart's Child first and ask her clearly.”

He took a deep breath and walked out of the bamboo house.

Outside the bamboo house was a patch of yellowish dirt. In the distance, one could see scattered, dilapidated stone houses, and faintly, some figures of the Yao Race moving about.

Gu Yan was a bit lost. Unfamiliar with the place, and only knowing Bai Xin'er, he didn’t know where to go to find someone for a while.

“Awake?”

Just as Gu Yan was looking left and right, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Gu Yan looked back, his eyes lit up and he said, “White Heart's Child, where did you go?”

Bai Xin'er’s eyes swept over him indifferently and she calmly said, “Follow me.”

She moved her lotus steps lightly, passed by Gu Yan, and walked towards the east.

“Where are we going?”

Gu Yan saw that Bai Xin'er ignored him and couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. This girl seemed very cold today.

“Uncle Qing wants to see you. He has arrangements for you.”

That Great Saint wants to see me?

Gu Yan’s heart jumped. Seeing Bai Xin'er’s back receding further and further, seemingly with no intention of waiting for him, he quickly hurried to catch up and asked, “What’s going on?”

Bai Xin'er didn’t turn her head, nor did she bother to pay him any mind.

Her little sister treated him like a treasure, but she had no such patience for a dying man.

Seeing Bai Xin'er still aloof, Gu Yan’s heart began to grumble.

What’s wrong? Is she in a bad mood?

Why is this girl a bit different from usual?

Gu Yan was puzzled and felt a little displeased.

He exerted force under his feet, quickly caught up, and raised his hand to try and grab Bai Xin'er’s small hand from behind: “White Heart's Child, wait for me. What happened last night? Why did I suddenly faint?”

Feeling Gu Yan’s greasy behavior, Bai Xin'er frowned, and with a flick of her jade palm, she dodged his sneaking hand, feeling a bit disgusted in her heart: “You’re so weak, how would I know why you suddenly fainted?”

“Don’t get handsy here. Uncle Qing is right ahead. Be careful he doesn’t chop off your hand.”

Bai Xin'er’s cold words made Gu Yan’s face freeze.

Me, I’m weak??

Are you serious?

He didn’t have time to think carefully, but he caught the key information in Bai Xin'er’s words.

His eyes quickly looked into the distance. At the end of his gaze was a huge martial arts training ground. Several massive nine-patterned cauldrons stood in the field. Crystalline jade light emanated from the cauldrons, spraying towards the sky, forming a light blue canopy that enveloped the area. On the canopy, one could faintly see figures of the Yao Race intertwined.

And on the central nine-patterned cauldron, Azure Ox Great Saint sat cross-legged on one of the cauldron ears, his eyes, larger than a fist, bulging, staring directly at him.
