661: There are 81 more like this!
Actually, Chen Xuan didn't want to do this either.
But there was no other way; the captivating woman in front of him was very likely a 'Young Miss' 30,000 years his senior.
It was probably impossible to truly enter her heart now, so Chen Xuan could only use this method to make her 'emotional'.
"Who's crying? I'm not crying!" Ji Yunxin glared at Chen Xuan indignantly.
Chen Xuan looked at the stubbornness flickering in Ji Yunxin's eyes, and his fingers gently caressed her cheek, the soft movement forming a stark contrast with his current assertiveness.
"Ji Yunxin, why must you be so stubborn?"
Ji Yunxin turned her head away, unwilling to meet his gaze, but the aggrieved expression on her face became even more apparent.
"Stop pretending, let me go!"
Chen Xuan ignored her protest, instead extending his other hand to gently tug at the ties binding her.
As the ties tightened slightly, Ji Yunxin's body involuntarily trembled.
"See? You say you're not wronged, but this Clone is very honest." A mischievous smile played on Chen Xuan's lips, yet his eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
"You... you scoundrel!" Ji Yunxin gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan slowly leaned close to her ear: "For so many years, your Clone has been here in the Mystic Jade Tower alone, your main body exiled, with no one to accompany you, no one to understand you.
I actually understand the bitterness in your heart."
Ji Yunxin's body trembled violently, and the tears in her eyes finally burst forth.
"You don't understand! You don't understand anything!" she cried loudly, her voice full of grievance.
But Chen Xuan didn't speak; he just quietly watched her, letting her vent her emotions.
After a long time, Ji Yunxin's emotions gradually calmed down, and she looked at Chen Xuan, somewhat realizing what was happening.
"Why did you do this?"
"Because I want you to face your true feelings.
Actually, you desire to be loved and cared for more than anyone else."
"You're lying!"
"Whether I'm lying or not, I think Ji Yunxin, you yourself know."
A hint of confusion flashed in Ji Yunxin's eyes; she lowered her head, silent.
Chen Xuan continued: "I know my previous actions were a bit reckless, but I truly had no ill intentions.
I just want you to know that there are still people in this world who care about you and don't want you to be lonely anymore."
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you have ideas about me!"
Chen Xuan nodded seriously: "Of course it's true.
From the first moment I saw you, I was attracted to you.
I know it sounds absurd, but my feelings are just that inexplicable."
"So you treat me like this? You like me, but instead of trying to please me, you provoke me like this!"
Ji Yunxin turned her head away, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance and resolve:
"Stop speaking such nonsense.
The age gap between us is vast, and our status and position are poles apart.
There's absolutely no possibility between us."
Chen Xuan, however, looked pleasantly surprised.
"Ji Yunxin, are you giving in? How can age and status become obstacles between us?
I don't care about these things; I only know that I want to be with you."
"No! You, you mustn't pester me.
My mind is made up; I will not have any involvement with you." Ji Yunxin's face flushed red.
How was Chen Xuan's brain wired that he would think she agreed!
With that, she squirmed, wanting to head towards the mural, intending to return to her resting place and avoid this man who was making her flustered.
"Sigh."
Seeing Yunxin's resolute attitude, Chen Xuan, with Oscar-worthy acting, rushed forward, released the restraints, and reached out to block Ji Yunxin's path.
"Ji Yunxin, why? Why won't you give me a chance?
Do you truly have no feelings for me, not even a tiny bit?"
"Chen Xuan, what do you mean by this?
I'm telling you, a forced melon isn't sweet; it's impossible for you in this lifetime!"
"Pain! It's too painful!"
Chen Xuan, however, seemed to have his mind 'blinded' by obsession; he not only didn't retreat but moved another step closer, the distance between them so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
"Ji Yunxin, I don't believe you have no feelings for me.
Aren't your emotional fluctuations today precisely because you care about me?" These words made no logical sense, but he didn't need logic now, only to provoke her into exasperation.
Ji Yunxin was enraged by Chen Xuan's almost shameless words; she gritted her teeth, her hands quickly forming a seal, preparing to cast a Spell to repel Chen Xuan.
However, just as she was about to launch her attack, Chen Xuan suddenly extended both hands and tightly embraced Yunxin.
Yunxin's eyes widened instantly.
"You... you let me go!"
She tried to break free from Chen Xuan's embrace, but Chen Xuan held her even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body with his strength.
"Ji Yunxin, I won't let go; I can't lose you." Chen Xuan murmured in Ji Yunxin's ear, clearly like someone possessed.
His breath brushed against Ji Yunxin's neck, causing her to feel a tingling sensation and indignation.
"I, this is a Clone; there's nothing here.
Can you please calm down!"
"There is, Ji Yunxin, there is.
I have 81 ways like this!"
...
81 days later, Chen Xuan finally left the Mystic Jade Tower.
Ling Ruoli was no longer there, having been called away by someone from the villa.
"My husband is truly bold.
That's a Life Immortal Venerable even I can't handle.
Treating her like this, aren't you afraid she'll come looking for trouble after she breaks free?" Luo Menglan's figure slowly appeared.
"You can't defeat her? Isn't space a Law of combat power?"
"Yes, but I myself am life, and this Law is very strange.
Generally speaking, I just can't defeat her."
"Then she could be exiled with just one time.
That's too fake?"
"Who knows how she did it?
It seems like something amplified her abilities, which is why she dominates the Immortal Realm now!"
"Amplified abilities?"
"Mm, but even if she amplified her abilities, she only exiled Ji Yunxin from the timeline; she couldn't really do anything to her!"
"Okay, I understand.
Now your sister Yunxin's emotions are a bit unstable; go and talk to her."
"Me?" Luo Menglan pointed to herself in disbelief.
Back then, when the three of them were Golden Immortals and their Laws were immature, they were also competitors and had some disagreements.
"Yes, anyway, both of you are victims of that woman, so you naturally have common ground.
Of course, if Menglan doesn't want to go, I'll let Lin Rou go; it's the same."
"Forget it, that woman definitely doesn't want me to see her in such a state right now.
Let Lin Rou go instead!" Luo Menglan hugged Chen Xuan's arm.
