493: Delay Chen Xuan

"Oh, what are you doing so early in the morning! Quick, let go of me!" Immortal Qinglan cried out in a coquettish voice.

Her beautiful face was flushed with shame and anger, but Chen Xuan seemed not to hear Immortal Qinglan's protests; his hands tightly embraced Immortal Qinglan's slender waist, showing no sign of loosening, and a mischievous smile played on his lips, the triumph in his grin becoming increasingly evident.

Following that, Chen Xuan lowered his head slightly, nearing Immortal Qinglan's crystal-clear earlobe, and exhaled a gentle puff of warm Qi.

"Don't rush. Since Brother Qing Shan asked you to deliver the treasure, you'll naturally tell me where it's hidden. But before that, may I do a small favor for you?"

With that, his deep eyes gazed at Immortal Qinglan, shimmering with an inscrutable light.

Just as Immortal Qinglan hadn't reacted, Chen Xuan suddenly extended his right hand and accurately grasped the cute winged slippers on Immortal Qinglan's feet.

As his fingers gently applied pressure, the slippers, originally worn on Immortal Qinglan's jade-like feet, began to slowly slide off, revealing a section of skin as pure and flawless as white jade.

"Chen Xuan, you..."

"I'm not a fool. Brother asked you to deliver the treasure, and then you don't know what that so-called treasure is. Isn't it obvious that my brother wants to stall for time? Although I can't figure out why he's playing these little tricks on me, no matter what, none of that matters now, does it?"

"No, it's not like that..." Immortal Qinglan hurriedly shook her head in denial.

"Oh, you change your mind so quickly. How come you were one way yesterday, and suddenly a different way today? If you keep being so fickle, I'm really going to get angry!"

"You... what are you angry about! It's clearly me who's been bullied from beginning to end, alright? How did it turn into my fault when it comes to you... Mm!"

Immortal Qinglan's face was full of grievance, and before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly sealed.

In an instant, the person in his arms stopped struggling.

"Since Brother wants to stall for time, let him stall. It just so happens that today I also want to test whether the cola you drank yesterday had any effect!"

As he said this, Chen Xuan's lips curled into a slight, wicked smile.

"Eff... effect?!"

"What else? This cola of mine is a unique specialty. For cultivators like you, it's simply a treasure for Cultivation! Even if your method of absorption might not be quite right, you'll still absorb some of it, so after drinking it, it will naturally produce a certain effect."

"No wonder... no wonder I had a strange feeling of being on the verge of a Breakthrough yesterday. It turns out it was all because of your... cola!"

Immortal Qinglan suddenly realized, covering her small mouth with her hand in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"Of course! What this young master produces is always a masterpiece! I'm eagerly waiting for you to Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm right here. As soon as you succeed, hehehe... I'll be able to feast... Heheheh!" At this point, he couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

"You, you're annoying! Even if, even if I really Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm, I will never become your food!" Immortal Qinglan cried out coquettishly, her cheeks flushed like rosy clouds, her shy demeanor captivating.

However, before her words faded, a crisp "smack" sound was heard.

"You dare!" Chen Xuan's face instantly turned cold.

"I see you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Today, I'll show you my power!" Before his words finished, he suddenly reached out and pulled Immortal Qinglan tightly into his arms, then strode straight ahead.

"Hmph, I, this Fairy, am not afraid of you! I'm telling you, I am a True Immortal Late Stage powerhouse, if you have the guts... come at me!" Immortal Qinglan feigned composure.

"Oh? Is that so? In that case, I'd like to try! Let's see which of us will have the last laugh!" Chen Xuan's steps did not stop.

...

In Chen Xuan's small courtyard, Immortal Qinglan arrived late.

"Well done, my wife! I originally only hoped you could stall for a little time, but who would have thought you were so formidable, directly holding Chen Xuan for several hours! You truly make this husband look at you with new eyes!" Old Ancestor Qing Shan praised with a joyful face.

"Mm." Immortal Qinglan responded weakly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, almost inaudible.

But Old Ancestor Qing Shan was very excited and didn't mind at all.

"Here, this contains Chen Xuan's things. You just need to take it back and hand it to him, and then the transaction between him and me will be completely finished!"

"Mm." Immortal Qinglan silently accepted the package, still looking indifferent, not even glancing at Old Ancestor Qing Shan.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh, a look of guilt on his face, and softly said:

"Alas, I know my wife, you are still blaming me. Regarding this matter, it was indeed my fault. However... this is truly a rare opportunity in my life! If I cannot firmly grasp this chance, I fear I will never have a chance to rise in this life."

At this point, Old Ancestor Qing Shan tightly clasped his hands, gazing at Immortal Qinglan's eyes with a firm and deep gaze, and solemnly promised:

"My wife, rest assured, once I achieve something and establish myself over there, it won't be long before I return to pick you and Yaoyao up for a reunion!"

"I know." Immortal Qinglan waved her hand, taking Chen Xuan's items.

"Mm, I knew you would understand me, but please, my wife, for these days, try to find more ways to keep Chen Xuan here, just let him stay in our home and not come out!" Old Ancestor Qing Shan looked at Immortal Qinglan with eager eyes, his tone full of anticipation.

"Keep Chen Xuan... ?" Immortal Qinglan's face showed a hint of mockery upon hearing this.

She slightly raised her chin, her beautiful eyes casting a light glance at Old Ancestor Qing Shan, a cold laugh in her heart:

You, Old Ancestor Qing Shan, calculating for a moment, are just wishful thinking! Why would Chen Xuan need me to find a way to keep him? With his Heart-Nature and his disdain for your wretched place, plus his feelings for me... even without my interference, he probably wouldn't even glance at this small courtyard!

It's me, who will likely suffer during this period because of your absurd request...

Thinking of this, Immortal Qinglan couldn't help but sigh softly, secretly lamenting her predicament.

Just thinking about the cold "distance and closeness" and various difficulties she might face from Chen Xuan, she felt a headache.

However, things had come to this, and she seemed to have no other choice but to bite the bullet and complete it...
