294: Chapter 294 One-Second Success!
If there was still a glimmer of hope for the plan she had meticulously crafted, perhaps she would be able to resolutely reject the person before her.
Although the painful loss of that true spirit body which had reached the Extreme Dao Saint Realm caused her heart to ache as if pierced by knives.
But at this very moment, she deeply felt that if she truly rejected the other party, even whether she could escape safely would become a huge question mark.
Moreover, she had no idea how much possibility of realization remained for the plan that carried all her expectations.
Thus, after a moment of thought, Hu Xiaoxian could not help but open her mouth to ask the person who called himself Cao Yang: "Senior Cao, this Junior has no grudges or entanglements with you or the others. If this Junior dares to refuse your request, I wonder if you could show mercy and let this Junior leave alive?"
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, even Hu Xiaoxian herself felt that this question was completely superfluous.
Even if the other party promised to let her go to her face, she would never dare to believe it easily.
Because once she was let go, it wouldn't be long before she would likely disappear from this world without a trace, completely unnoticed.
After all, those whose cultivation base has entered the Saint Realm, even if bound by the so-called Heavenly Dao oath, can still break the Heavenly Dao oath by relying on various heaven-defying Divine Ability.
And this Senior Cao before her was an even more terrifying existence, transcending the Extreme Dao Saint; the unfathomable depth of his methods was certainly not something Hu Xiaoxian could imagine.
Cao Yang heard this, smiled slightly, and said without hesitation: "No!"
"Not to mention that your appearance and Aptitude are both excellent and very much to my taste, just because you look so similar to Tutu, I will never allow you the chance to become a Dao Companion with someone else. Furthermore, if you are willing to be my Dao Companion, you must also withdraw the billions of thoughts you have placed across the myriad worlds."
Upon hearing Cao Yang's response, Hu Xiaoxian's delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
She could never have imagined that the man before her would be so knowledgeable about the specific number of true spirit bodies she had cast into the myriad worlds!
One must know, even those true spirit bodies that were likewise cast into the myriad worlds, although aware that there were many companions scattered across various worlds, knew nothing about the specific numbers or their location in the Universe.
However, Cao Yang could grasp these details with absolute clarity; this was truly inconceivable.
But upon second thought, Hu Xiaoxian felt relieved. After all, this Senior Cao standing before her was a peerless powerhouse at the half-step Source Venerable Realm! Possessing such heaven-defying abilities did not seem to be something difficult to understand.
Hu Xiaoxian was quite satisfied with the answer Cao Yang gave. In her view, a true powerhouse should be as open and honest and omniscient as Cao Yang, rather than those hypocritical villains who are honey-mouthed but sword-bellied.
Just then, a crisp and pleasant notification sound suddenly rang in Cao Yang's mind: "Beep, congratulations Revered Master, the Daughter of Destiny Hu Xiaoxian's favorability towards you has increased to 90, and you have received a reward of 1 million sign-in attempts."
Cao Yang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then showed a joyful expression, secretly thinking to himself: "Oh my, success in one second? This is truly far beyond my expectations! As expected of the Daughter of Destiny, her conduct is indeed unique, completely playing outside the rules. I originally thought that forcibly preventing her from leaving would provoke her resentment and disgust, but who would have thought it would instead make her harbor feelings of admiration for me..."
"Senior Cao, I am willing to become your Dao Companion!"
Hu Xiaoxian said with a firm expression, her beautiful eyes shining with a sincere light, as if this were the most important decision of her life.
Hearing Hu Xiaoxian's words, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on Cao Yang's face. He nodded gently and responded tenderly: "Mm, very good, Xiaoxian. Now let me introduce you to the people around me."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the group of women beside him.
"This is my Revered Master Ouyang Liuli, she is a person with a profound cultivation base and experience, and is highly respected."
As soon as Cao Yang finished speaking, before he could introduce the others in detail, Ouyang Liuli walked forward with a smile.
"Cao Lang, you don't need to introduce us one by one. We will get to know Little Sister Xiaoxian ourselves."
Ouyang Liuli cast a coquettish glance at Cao Yang, then walked quickly to Hu Xiaoxian, affectionately took her small hand, and said enthusiastically: "Little Sister Xiaoxian, from now on we are all one family. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask your sisters."
The other women also gathered around, introducing themselves to Hu Xiaoxian all at once. For a time, laughter filled the entire space, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Cao Yang stood to the side, quietly watching this harmonious and warm scene, his heart full of satisfaction.
He knew well that it was not easy to get so many women with different personalities to live together in harmony, but seeing them accept Hu Xiaoxian so quickly, the heart he had been hanging up finally relaxed.
As for the matter between Hu Xiaoxian and Hu Shan Tutu, Cao Yang actually already had a plan. Just before catching Hu Xiaoxian, he relied on his powerful Divine Ability to completely sever the connection on the true spirit level between Hu Xiaoxian and Hu Shan Tutu, as well as all past Karma.
In this way, not only did he avoid potential trouble, but he could also allow Hu Xiaoxian to integrate into this new big family without any burden. Cao Yang firmly believed that as time passed, the two of them would definitely be able to understand each other, support each other, and get along amicably.
When the group of women had finished chatting, the silent Cao Yang finally spoke slowly: "Xiaoxian, come, you should first put on this tribulation avoidance ring."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite ring shimmering with a faint blue light from his bosom and handed it to Hu Xiaoxian.
"Yes, Senior Cao!"
Hu Xiaoxian replied respectfully, then carefully reached out her hand, wanting to take the mysterious and powerful blue ring from Cao Yang's hand.
Before this, she had already heard from the various sisters about the extraordinary aspects of this ring, and she also knew that Cao Yang had the ability to help them improve their own cultivation base. These things were simply unheard of and inconceivable to Hu Xiaoxian, completely subverting all the cognition she had previously held in her heart.
However, she did not have the slightest doubt. One must know, just hearing that Sipan's Realm was much higher than Cao Yang's was enough.
Moreover, since Sipan was Tutu's close friend, she naturally cared for her deeply and took special care of her.
Just as Hu Xiaoxian had caught the tribulation avoidance ring, Cao Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed her fair and delicate little hand, and had no intention of letting go. Not only that, he actually gently scratched the palm of Hu Xiaoxian's hand a few times.
Cao Yang deliberately straightened his face, pretending to be unhappy, and said: "Hmm? Now that you are already my Dao Companion, why do you still call me Senior Cao?"
Although he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the so-called look of displeasure on Cao Yang's face was actually all pretended.
Hu Xiaoxian, who was made somewhat shy by Cao Yang's actions, immediately had a slightly red face, as lovable as a ripe apple. She lowered her head and responded softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I know... husband..."
