17: Chapter 17 The Wilderness Green World

Cao Yang returned to the inn with light steps. Pushing open the door, he saw Su Xuan sitting obediently by the bed, her hands tightly gripping the corners of her clothes and her eyes flickering, seemingly a bit nervous. Her charming and lovely appearance evoked a sense of pity and affection.

Cao Yang walked to the bed and sat down, gently patting Su Xuan's shoulder in an attempt to ease her tension. He looked at Su Xuan with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness and concern: "Second Senior Sister, don't be so stiff. I'm not going to eat you."

Su Xuan looked up slightly, meeting Cao Yang's eyes, and the tension in her heart gradually dissipated. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Mhm..." Her voice carried a hint of shyness and bashfulness.

Cao Yang reached out and gently stroked Su Xuan's hair, saying in a soft tone, "Second Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't keep it bottled up inside. We are family, after all!"

Feeling Cao Yang's warm care, Su Xuan's tension and unease gradually vanished, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility. She took a deep breath, as if to exhale all the worries in her heart. Then, with her lips trembling slightly, she gathered her courage and said to Cao Yang, "Junior Brother, I... I agreed to be your Dao Companion so quickly. Will you think I'm an easy woman?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Cao Yang's face, but he soon burst into laughter and gently comforted Su Xuan: "Senior Sister, how could that be! You are a very lovely and kind woman. It is my absolute honor to be your Dao Companion." He gently took Su Xuan's hand, his gaze firm and sincere.

Hearing Cao Yang's words, tears shimmered in Su Xuan's eyes, and a wave of emotion surged in her heart. However, she still asked with some concern, "Junior Brother, I know you will have more beautiful and outstanding Dao Companions in the future. Will you abandon me?" Her voice held a trace of fragility and helplessness, making one involuntarily feel pity for her.

Cao Yang gripped Su Xuan's hand tightly and replied in a firm tone, "Senior Sister, you are unique, and no one can replace your position in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, never to leave or forsake you." His eyes were filled with love and commitment, making Su Xuan feel incredibly warm.

Moved by Cao Yang's sincerity, Su Xuan could no longer hold back her tears, and they streamed down her face. She threw herself into Cao Yang's arms, hugging him tightly, and whispered, "Junior Brother, thank you for giving me such a promise. I believe you, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you."

Cao Yang stroked Su Xuan's hair and responded with a smile, "Senior Sister, we will be happy forever."

"Mhm, Junior Brother, although a big reason I agreed to be your Dao Companion before was that you could help me quickly achieve a Breakthrough in my Realm, I, Su Xuan, am also a single-minded person. Even if I meet someone who can help others break through even faster than you in the future, I will not change my heart. I promise, my heart will always belong only to you, Junior Brother."

"I believe you too."

The two embraced, their souls closely connected. Their love was like flowers blooming in spring, emitting a charming fragrance. At this moment, time seemed to stop flowing, and the world held only the two of them.

Early the next morning, Cao Yang held the petite and lovely girl in his arms and thought to himself, "System, sign in."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, sign-in successful. Obtained 500 years of Genius cultivation base. Obtained the top-grade Magic Treasure, Gale Sword. Rewards have been distributed to the System space."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement [Three Slayings in Half a Month]. Obtained the reward: one Small World, Huangqing. Rewards have been distributed to the System space."

Hiss, this System is pretty good. Top-grade Magic Treasures are very valuable.

The key is the Small World!

Cao Yang's heart could not remain calm; he was excited beyond words. He held Su Xuan tightly in his arms, his eyes flashing with the light of excitement.

At this time, Su Xuan, in his arms, noticed the unusual expression on Cao Yang's face and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Junior Brother, did something happen? Why are you so excited?" She looked at Cao Yang's face, wanting to figure out what he had just experienced.

Cao Yang quickly snapped back to his senses and smiled at Su Xuan: "Nothing, Senior Sister. I just suddenly thought of something, don't worry."

He tried to put Su Xuan at ease, but in reality, his mind had already flown elsewhere.

Then, Cao Yang revealed a mysterious smile and said: "Senior Sister, come with me. I want to take you to a special place. I'm sure you'll love it there." After saying that, he gently picked up Su Xuan and took her toward that mysterious place.

In his mind, Cao Yang hurriedly ordered the System: "System, quickly refine the Huangqing Small World!"

Following his command, the System issued a crisp notification tone: "Ding! Congratulations to the host, refining successful!"

Hearing this news, Cao Yang felt incredibly excited because he knew that something surprising was about to happen.

Instantly, Cao Yang felt a special connection established between himself and a transparent bubble. This feeling was very wonderful, as if he could control the entire world.

With a thought, the two of them immediately appeared in the sky above a brilliant and colorful sea of flowers that filled the air with fragrance.

Cao Yang used his intent again to display the full view of the Huangqing Small World before his eyes.

This Small World was as beautiful as a fairyland, not inferior to the outside world in the slightest. High mountains towered, oceans surged with waves, forests were lush and green, deserts were vast and boundless, glaciers were crystal clear, and volcanoes erupted with heat. However, there were no traces of humans here, only endless peace and beauty.

Su Xuan was also shocked by the beautiful scenery before her. She exclaimed in amazement: "Junior Brother, it's so beautiful here! It's just like a fairyland. But where on earth are we?" Her eyes were full of doubt and curiosity, waiting for Cao Yang to give her an answer.

"This is my Small World, the Huangqing Small World. I am invincible here. Even an ordinary Immortal who enters this place would only be suppressed by me."

Cao Yang looked down at the beauty in his arms, his eyes flashing with tenderness and doting. He said softly: "Senior Sister, you are the first person I've ever brought in here." His words revealed how much he cherished her and his unique feelings for her.

Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Su Xuan's heart, and a look of deep emotion appeared on her face. She gazed at Cao Yang affectionately and responded softly: "Junior Brother, thank you for bringing me to this beautiful place."

Their eyes met, and it was as if time stood still at this moment. Their gazes converged into a warm river, flowing with endless love and warmth.

Suddenly, a playful look flashed in Su Xuan's eyes, and she requested sweetly: "Junior Brother, I really want to go down and play in that sea of flowers. Can I?"

Cao Yang was slightly stunned, but he quickly beamed and nodded in agreement: "Of course, as long as you like it, Senior Sister." Saying that, he gently set Su Xuan down, and they walked together toward that brilliant and colorful sea of flowers.

The flowers in the sea of flowers bloomed so brilliantly, like a dreamlike painting unfolding before their eyes. As the breeze blew, petals danced and flew, emitting bursts of charming fragrance. Su Xuan walked lightly through them, her mood joyful. She would occasionally pick a delicate and dripping flower, and occasionally play and frolic with Cao Yang, her laughter echoing in this peaceful Small World.

Cao Yang stood quietly to the side, admiring Su Xuan's happy appearance, his heart filled with a sense of satisfaction. He knew that making the woman he loved happy was the greatest happiness. At this moment, Su Xuan was like a Fairy descended to earth, dancing gracefully in the sea of flowers, her beauty intoxicating.
