349: Chapter 349 This young master is even more excited about such a good thing!

Feeling the soft, delicate body of the beauty pressed tightly against his back, along with that astonishing softness, Cao Kun's mouth curled into a barely perceptible, wicked smirk.

"A great reward later?"

"Alright, you brought this upon yourself."

"Don't blame Great Philanthropist Cao here for not acting like a gentleman when the time comes."

He tilted his head slightly, looking at Gu Xiyao, who was shivering behind him, and said with a straight face:

"Sigh, this Young Master is just too soft-hearted; I can't bear to see a beautiful Fairy shed tears."

"Since the Fairy has said so, we will have to suffer a bit and squeeze into the same room for this period."

After saying that, before the Tianxuan Immortal Sect deacon could look over, Cao Kun activated the Space Law, put his arm around Gu Xiyao's waist, and vanished from the spot.

The deacon's gaze swept over the empty counter, and he frowned slightly.

He walked quickly to the manager, grabbed him by the collar, and questioned him viciously:

"Where are the people who were standing here just now?"

The manager was scared out of his wits, trembling as he replied:

"My... My Lord, I didn't see clearly! They just went *whoosh*, and suddenly they were gone!"

The deacon snorted coldly, released his Divine Sense to scan the hall, but found nothing.

"The monk may run, but the temple can't! Search for me! Don't let even a single fly escape!"

"The Sect Master has ordered that all those who ascended from the Lower Realm today must be caught!"

"Also, search for the person the Young Lord is looking for as well!"

...

Meanwhile, on the third floor, in the Heaven-grade Room Number One.

Cao Kun landed steadily on the soft carpet with Gu Xiyao in his arms.

When her feet touched the ground, she nearly lost her footing and instinctively grabbed Cao Kun's arm.

Once she saw her surroundings, she finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

Temporarily safe.

This was a room in an inn, decorated extremely luxuriously.

Not only was there a Spirit Gathering Array, but there were also Restrictions to isolate Divine Sense detection.

"Many thanks to the Young Master for your help."

Gu Xiyao raised her head gratefully.

However, she discovered that her waist was still being held tightly by him, and the posture was ambiguous.

"Young... Young Master, please show some self-respect!"

She quickly broke free from Cao Kun's arm and retreated as if she had been electrocuted.

Cao Kun stepped forward with interest.

"The Fairy's words make no sense."

"Just downstairs, it was the Fairy who took the initiative to beg to stay with me."

"Why are you turning against me now that we've reached the room?"

"Isn't this speed of burning bridges a bit too fast?"

Gu Xiyao was forced to retreat repeatedly by the righteous yet evil aura emanating from Cao Kun.

Until her back hit the cold wall, and she had nowhere left to retreat.

"I... I just said to enter the room to hide; I didn't say I wanted to..."

Cao Kun supported himself with one hand against the wall, trapping her between his arms.

He lowered his head, leaned into Gu Xiyao's ear, and said in a low voice:

"The Fairy just said that as long as I brought you into the room to hide, there would be a great reward later."

"Unfortunately, this Young Master is impatient and hates waiting for some illusory 'later'."

"Why don't you redeem this reward now, Fairy?"

Gu Xiyao looked at the handsome face so close to her own, and all the hair on her body stood up.

She could feel it.

This man before her had a wicked nature in his bones.

He didn't care about any rules or etiquette at all.

If she didn't produce something with enough weight to deter him, she would definitely suffer in this enclosed room today.

"I... I'm warning you, don't you dare mess around!"

Gu Xiyao braced herself, pushing out her proud chest, trying to make herself look more confident.

She brought out her ultimate trump card, the one she resisted the most in her life, but also the most effective:

"I am the future wife of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect's Young Lord!"

"If you dare to touch a single hair on me, the Tianxuan Immortal Sect will never let you go!"

"There will be no place for you in the entire Dongxuan Region!"

After shouting these words in one breath, Gu Xiyao stared intently at Cao Kun's eyes.

According to her past experience, in the Dongxuan Region, even those notorious demonic cultivators would feel a sense of fear upon hearing the words "Tianxuan Immortal Sect".

Not to mention she also carried the title of the Young Lord's fiancée.

This Loose Cultivator, as long as he was still sane, should immediately kneel down, kowtow, and apologize, then respectfully serve her.

Who knew that when Cao Kun heard this, not only was he not afraid, but his eyes erupted with unprecedented excitement.

"Holy crap! There's such a good thing?!"

Cao Kun blurted out, his voice filled with uncontrollable ecstasy; he was just short of setting off firecrackers on the spot to celebrate.

Gu Xiyao was completely stunned.

Her brain was buzzing, and she even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

The script shouldn't be like this, right?

How could this person be even more excited upon hearing "Tianxuan Immortal Sect" and "Young Lord's fiancée"?

Could he be a lunatic who doesn't value his life?

[Ding! Detected the host's intense emotional fluctuations.]

[Jade Beast Master System's friendly reminder: The Tianxuan Immortal Sect is a top-tier tradition in the Spirit Realm, please, host, be mindful of your actions...]

"Shut up, what do you know! This is a blessing from heaven!"

Cao Kun retorted to the System in his mind without any politeness.

If that Young Lord, whom he had never met, found out that his wife-to-be was squeezed into a room at an inn with a Loose Cultivator who had ascended from the Lower Realm...

Just thinking about that scene was exciting.

The soul of a Cao thief is unstoppable!

Cao Kun didn't let go; instead, he deliberately lowered his body, pressing closer.

His nose almost touched Gu Xiyao's delicate nose.

His warm breath sprayed directly onto her fair, delicate face.

"You... what do you want to do!"

Gu Xiyao turned her head away in a panic, her fair neck stained with a seductive pink, not daring to look into Cao Kun's eyes again.

"Don't be afraid, Fairy."

"This Young Master has no other hobbies; I just like helping others."

"Taking on the dirty and tiring work of taking care of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect Young Lord's fiancée is something I, Cao, am duty-bound to do!"

Gu Xiyao had lived this long and had never seen someone so thick-skinned and full of such tiger-wolf words!

For a moment, she was choked speechless.

She just felt that she was doomed today.

Just as Gu Xiyao was in despair, preparing to self-destruct her Dantian to preserve her chastity, Cao Kun suddenly released his hand from the wall.

He walked straight to the large, luxurious, and soft bed in the center of the room and sat down.

"Alright, I'm just messing with you."

"If you're going to make up an excuse, at least make it a better one."

"Since you are the Young Lord's fiancée, why are you hiding on your own turf?"

Cao Kun looked her up and down, his tone becoming playful:

"Could it be that the Tianxuan Immortal Sect Young Lord is an ugly monster, and you're cheating on him by coming to this inn?"

Gu Xiyao had been immersed in the relief of surviving a disaster.

Hearing this, her face turned red with anger, and her heaving chest rose and fell.

"You are spouting nonsense!"

"I, Gu Xiyao, am pure and chaste; I have kept myself clean since I was young, and I haven't even touched a man's hand. How could I do such a disgraceful thing!"

"Oh? Then what are you here for?"

Cao Kun shrugged, crossed his legs, and leaned against the headboard with an indifferent expression.

"Since you want me to help you evade the search outside, we should at least be honest with each other, right?"

"You are full of lies and won't even say your true purpose. Why should I risk offending the Tianxuan Immortal Sect to protect you?"

Cao Kun pointed at the closed door, his tone turning cold:

"The door is over there."

"If the Fairy doesn't have the truth, please feel free to leave; don't disturb this Young Master's rest."

As soon as the words fell,

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the corridor outside, there was a sudden, rough knocking on the door.

"Tianxuan Immortal Sect search! Everyone inside, get out!"

"Kick the one next door open too! Don't let go of any corner!"

The arrogant cursing and heavy footsteps of the deacons were like death-knell drums, approaching the Heaven-grade Room Number One step by step.
