216: He wants a kiss too?

“Be careful.” Zuoqiu Shu, however, was not optimistic, and her heart grew more cautious as she probed forward.

The alley was not perfectly straight; some parts had curved corners, and coincidentally, this was a turn.

Zuoqiu Shu stopped and cocked her ear to listen, the distant voices gradually becoming clearer.

“What kind of ghostly place is this? Why can’t we reach the end?”

“There’s not a single sound. I’m starting to get a little unnerved.”

A low reprimand sounded, “Everyone, shut up. Be careful of your surroundings.”

At this, the voices disappeared.

Zuoqiu Shu suddenly spoke, “I am Zuoqiu Clan of Huai Lake. May I ask which Fellow Daoist this is?”

There was no avoiding this alley; the two sides would meet sooner or later. It was better to speak first and show goodwill to avoid misunderstandings.

Voices came from not far away again, with undisguised surprise in their tone, “There’s still someone here?”

“Zuoqiu Clan of Huai Lake… those little girls?” Someone repeated.

A group of people slowly appeared at the front of the alley. They were oddly dressed, and at their head was a bare-chested big man holding a large broadsword.

“Tongxin Holy Sect, Tu Wanshan.” The big man cupped his fists and bowed, sizing up Zuoqiu Shu.

Zuoqiu Shu’s heart skipped a beat, her vigilance growing even stronger, but a benevolent smile appeared on her face as she gently bowed, “So it is Saint himself. This little girl has long admired your name.”

Zuoqiu Zhen looked at Tu Wanshan. Is this man also a Demon Sect Saint?

She couldn’t help but compare him to Xu Sanyan, then gently shook her head. Not only was his strength inferior, but his appearance and demeanor also couldn’t compare.

“I’ve also long heard of the Huai Lake Seven Heroes’ great name,” Tu Wanshan politely returned the greeting.

At this moment, both sides were trapped, and making a move rashly would benefit no one.

“May I ask, Fairy, do you know where this place is?”

Zuoqiu Shu shook her head, “I don’t know. I’ve walked for a long time, and it’s always been this alley; I can’t see a way out.”

Disappointment showed in Tu Wanshan’s eyes. Their situation was the same.

The air instantly fell silent. After a while, Tu Wanshan sighed softly, “I plan to cross the wall to investigate. Will Fairy join me?”

This was a last resort. He couldn’t be trapped here. No matter what, he had to take a gamble.

Zuoqiu Shu frowned in thought, then shook her head after a moment, “I plan to walk a bit more. If there’s no other way, it won’t be too late to climb the wall.”

“Alright,” Tu Wanshan did not insist. The two sides had no basis for trust to begin with, so separating was fine to avoid mutual suspicion.

“Tap~ Tap~”

Suddenly, a series of undisguised footsteps came from behind Zuoqiu Shu. Everyone turned to look, only to see a group of figures appearing from the gloomy darkness.

The person at the very front wore a light blue long gown, with his hands clasped behind his back and a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. He looked as if he was strolling leisurely, completely different from the state of Zuoqiu Shu and the others.

Zuoqiu Shu was startled. This person… how did he come from behind her?

Wait!

“Xu Sanyan?”

Zuoqiu Zhen’s voice was faster than hers.

“Hello there, little sister-in-law.”

Xu Sanyan smiled and greeted Zuoqiu Zhen, then turned his gaze to Zuoqiu Shu, teasing, “Are you happy to see me?”

Zuoqiu Shu was stunned, then her cheek twitched. She didn’t know how to reply.

“Senior Brother Xu?”

Tu Wanshan’s eyelids twitched, and a sense of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart. He had also heard of Xu Sanyan’s battle record: one against four, forcefully seizing treasures from Fang Qingge, Net Intent, and others. His strength was incredibly strong.

He had fought with Net Intent and knew how troublesome that little monk was, so he could better appreciate Xu Sanyan’s prowess.

“Senior Brother Tu is here too. What a coincidence.”

Xu Sanyan waved his hand in greeting. This was their first meeting since entering the Secret Realm.

“Hehe, it is quite a coincidence. How did Junior Brother come here?” Tu Wanshan asked with a dry laugh.

Xu Sanyan slowly shook his head and sighed, “Alas… it’s a long story. We accidentally stepped into an alley and then couldn’t get out.”

“Uh… that is quite long,” Tu Wanshan secretly twitched the corner of his mouth.

Zuoqiu Shu pursed her red lips, her eyes shifting to Xu Sanyan. Seeing that he didn’t seem worried about the current situation, hope couldn’t help but rise in her heart, and she softly inquired,

“Does Saint have a way out?”

Tu Wanshan also looked up. He also wanted to get out as soon as possible.

Xu Sanyan raised his eyelids, a lewd smile showing, “You want to know?”

Zuoqiu Shu had a bad premonition, but for the sake of her family behind her, she could only force a smile and say, “If Saint is willing to tell, this little girl… is willing to offer a reward.”

“What reward?” Xu Sanyan became interested.

“Uh… how about Spirit Stones?” Zuoqiu Shu’s confidence was a bit lacking.

Xu Sanyan shook his head, a hint of disdain in his expression, “Heh, do you think I lack Spirit Stones?”

“Then… Magic Treasures? Medicinal Pills?”

Xu Sanyan continued to shake his head, the expression on his face gradually turning to disappointment.

Zuoqiu Zhen watched from the side, her heart anxious, wishing she could speak up and make the decision for her sister.

Isn’t it obvious? He wants you.

Xiang Tan looked enviously at Zuoqiu Shu, biting her lip and silently pondering. What kind of condition was this? If Senior Brother wanted…

Qin Manyang rolled her eyes. What a lecher, falling for every person he saw.

Zuoqiu Shu naturally understood, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She could only grit her teeth, “Then you say it. As long as this little girl can produce it, I will surely offer it with both hands.”

“It’s very simple for you…”

Xu Sanyan reached out and pointed at his own cheek, “Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”

“Ah?” Although she was prepared, when it came down to it, Zuoqiu Shu was still a bit embarrassed.

“Ah?!” This was the question Zuoqiu Zhen uttered. Just a kiss?

No need for…

Mm mm… Ah ah?

Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Zhen suddenly blushed, secretly scolding herself for being shameless. That was her own sister, how could she think such a thing?

Otherwise… she would sacrifice herself and kiss him!

Zuoqiu Zhen was wildly fantasizing.

“I’ll only give you ten breaths to consider,” Xu Sanyan spoke again.

“One…”

“Two…”

Zuoqiu Shu’s face was conflicted, Zuoqiu Zhen was eager to try, Zuoqiu Yi lowered her head and remained silent.

The other Zuoqiu Family disciples also dared not speak. Most of them had witnessed Xu Sanyan’s methods, and no one dared to seek death at this moment.

“Seven…”

“Okay! I hope Saint keeps his word.”

Zuoqiu Yi clenched her fists, seemingly having made a great decision.

Xu Sanyan smiled, “Come on.”

He was a bit tired of the straightforward type of love and now wanted to try something different. This woman suited his taste very well.

Zuoqiu Shu slowly stepped forward, closed her eyes, and lightly pecked him. Her pretty face immediately flushed, and she forced herself to turn her head away.

Xu Sanyan closed his eyes, savoring the moment with an exaggerated expression, “Mmm~”

“Can Saint speak now?” Zuoqiu Shu didn’t want to stay here for another moment.

“Simple. Come closer.”

Zuoqiu Shu slightly tilted her head, feeling the gentle breeze enter her ear canal, a slightly ticklish and very comfortable sensation.

“That simple?” Zuoqiu Shu found it hard to believe.

“It’s that simple.”

On the other side, Tu Wanshan was anxious, desperately wanting to know how to get out, and couldn’t help but step forward.

Xu Sanyan suddenly turned his head, frowned, and his heart skipped a beat as he looked at his scruffy appearance.

“What are you doing?”

A glint appeared in Zuoqiu Zhen’s eyes. Could it be…

He wants a kiss too?
