503: Jade City

“Those… those pieces of trash, I’ve already turned them all into nothingness! How could there be any left for you?!” Zheng Yaqin broke free from Chen Xuan, speaking with a guilty look.

“I don’t care about any of that. This was originally something you legitimately owed me! I never asked you to help clean up the filth on the ground today! So…”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yaqin’s face instantly flushed crimson: “You… you’re being too unreasonable! You’re practically bullying an honest person!”

“Excuse me, you clearly destroyed my property with your own hands, yet when it comes out of your mouth, it sounds like I’m the one bullying people? Come on, tell me properly, who is bullying whom?!” Chen Xuan, having the upper hand, took a step closer and demanded aggressively.

Zheng Yaqin stomped her foot in anger: “You, you’re clearly just twisting words and being utterly unreasonable!”

“Hmph, less nonsense! I’m too lazy to keep arguing with you here. You quickly figure out how you’re going to compensate me for the losses I’ve suffered!”

“It’s… it’s just some broken trash anyway! At worst, I’ll go find some similar trash to compensate you, is that okay?!” Zheng Yaqin gritted her teeth and answered, steeling herself.

After speaking, she turned and tried to walk out of the small stone room. However, how could Chen Xuan let her have her way? Her slender wrist was once again held tightly by Chen Xuan.

“You…” Zheng Yaqin’s delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes darting away, not daring to meet Chen Xuan’s half-smiling gaze.

At this moment, she only felt her heart pounding, and she herself felt like a startled fawn, at a loss.

“What ‘me’? I said I want the exact same things as before, not some worthless trash you casually find to fob me off with!”

“But, but those things are really gone!” Zheng Yaqin was so anxious that tears were about to well up. She looked pitifully at Chen Xuan, trying to awaken his non-existent humanity.

However, Chen Xuan merely smiled slightly, revealing a row of neat, white teeth:

“Well, actually, they can exist. As long as you and I search with our hearts, we’ll definitely find them.”

“You mean… Woohoo, no, absolutely not!” Zheng Yaqin seemed to understand the deeper meaning in Chen Xuan’s words. Her face instantly lost its color, and she repeatedly shook her head in refusal.

“That’s not up to you, darling. This is what you owe me. Debts must be paid, it’s only right and proper!” Chen Xuan said without question, reaching out and grabbing Zheng Yaqin’s soft, boneless wrist. With a tug, he pulled her entire body into the small stone room.

Time quietly flowed by, and in a blink, it was afternoon. After long and arduous effort, Zheng Yaqin finally managed to pay back what she owed Chen Xuan.

At this moment, she was utterly exhausted, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and her steps seemed a little unsteady.

But no matter what, she had finally completed the task and could leave this small stone room that had made her feel so pressured.

So, Zheng Yaqin took a deep breath, slowly turned, and with heavy steps, left the small stone room.

That hateful Chen Xuan, he actually made her create trash! This is simply unforgivable!

“Hmph, a woman who says one thing and does another. Her mouth says one thing, but her (actions) are another.” Watching Zheng Yaqin’s graceful retreating figure, Chen Xuan made a faint comment…

Hmm, her work uniform had already been changed by Chen Xuan.

Outside the immortal mine, there was a profound silence, with only the gentle breeze rustling the surrounding vegetation, making a subtle whooshing sound.

Entrusted by Purple Spirit Goddess, Yu Qingcheng, dressed in a white gown, arrived at this Mining Field as lightly as a Fairy.

Her stunning beauty and graceful figure seemed to make the entire world lose its luster.

However, just as she was about to step into the Mining Field, she suddenly detected a hint of abnormality.

She focused her gaze and saw that not far outside the Mining Field, a large group of Immortal Kings had gathered.

These Immortal Kings were either squatting or standing, their gazes all fixed tightly on the interior of the Mining Field, as if waiting for something important to happen.

Moreover, among this group of Immortal Kings, there was not a single female; they were all male without exception.

They had all been called over by An Yuexi to deal with Chen Xuan, but the many Immortal Kings were not foolish; none of them truly took the lead, resulting in more and more Immortal Kings piling up at the entrance of this immortal mine.

“Hmm? Jade Fox? Why are you here? Could it be that Immortal Venerable also invited you? But I heard that Immortal Venerable has always disliked you!” Zhao Tianming was now looking at Yu Qingcheng with a suspicious expression.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Sirui immediately stepped forward and loudly rebuked him:

“Zhao Tianming! How are you speaking to Goddess Yu? Don’t you know she’s one of the top five goddesses among the female Immortal Kings in our Immortal Realm? Hurry up and apologize to Goddess Yu!” As he spoke, he bowed slightly towards Yu Qingcheng, displaying his demeanor.

“So what? She’s just a vixen that Immortal Venerable doesn’t particularly like. If you ask me, it must be that Jade Fox hooked up with Immortal Venerable’s…”

“Slap!!”

Ye Xingchen immediately slapped Zhao Tianming.

“Are you crazy? You dare to slander even Immortal Venerable? I think you’re truly tired of living!”

Saying this, Ye Xingchen moved away from Zhao Tianming.

“Ye Xingchen, you f**king…”

Zhao Tianming, having taken the slap, originally wanted to hit back, but upon hearing what he said, he immediately wilted.

Yu Qingcheng, seeing this, looked at the many Immortal Kings with interest.

“Zhao Tianming, I didn’t expect you to be such a petty man. Was it just because I didn’t give you my communication Jade Slip last time that you’re holding such a grudge?”

“How about this, Big Sister will give you a communication Jade Slip this time, and you won’t target Big Sister, okay?”

“You… that’s not true! You’re slandering me, you’re slandering!” Zhao Tianming was exposed in public and suddenly felt very embarrassed.

“Hmph, you stinky men, what are you doing gathered here? Every single one of you is neglecting your duties!”

“Goddess Yu, that’s a bit much. We received Immortal Venerable’s command to stand guard here. How can you say we’re neglecting our duties?” Tang Sirui said with a smile, looking self-righteous.

“Standing guard?! So many Immortal Kings?!”

“That’s right. According to Immortal Venerable, a very terrifying existence has ascended to the Mining Field here. If this person is allowed to develop, the future Immortal Realm will likely be plunged into a bloody storm, in all aspects!”

“Oh?” Yu Qingcheng let out a soft exclamation, her gaze falling on the entrance of the immortal mine not far away.

Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly revealed a cunning smile.

“Well, since you’re waiting for news about that person, why don’t you all just go in? Find him directly? Could it be… that all of you are afraid of death?”
