129: Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

"What?"

Chen Qingxuan was completely dumbfounded;

Looking at the bright and moving Luo Yin before him, he thought he was hallucinating.

"I..."

Luo Yin clenched her pink fists in shame;

Already extremely shy, having to repeat it now was undoubtedly a sharp jab at her most sensitive weakness.

But things had come to this, so she could only endure the shame and repeat it.

Having received confirmation, Chen Qingxuan was stunned. "I was just joking during the day... To avoid telling me the plan... you'd actually go this far?"

"What?"

Luo Yin raised her pretty face.

Realizing Chen Qingxuan had misunderstood, she guiltily avoided his gaze. "No... it's a gift... I said I would give you a gift tonight."

A gift?

Chen Qingxuan's expression shifted;

The next moment, his body jolted. "Holy crap, you... the gift you mentioned... you couldn't possibly mean yourself, could you?!"

"Keep your voice down."

Luo Yin turned pale with fright;

She didn't deny Chen Qingxuan's questioning... she just exuded a charming aura of shame.

As the old saying goes, one doesn't fear a beautiful maiden, but a seductive young woman.

Chen Qingxuan was stupefied.

After confirming the gift was her, he couldn't help but swallow hard. Reason made him chuckle bitterly. "Senior Luo... what exactly do you mean by this?"

Luo Yin bit her lip in embarrassment. "Didn't you say... you wanted to try a woman who's tens of thousands of years old... so I prepared this gift."

"No, I don't want to now." Chen Qingxuan waved his hands hurriedly, eyeing Luo Yin warily. "Just tell me directly, what exactly is your plan?"

"Business first... then I'll tell you."

"You're getting addicted to this?"

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

Looking at Luo Yin, who seemed off in every way, he had reason to suspect. "Tell me honestly... is this some new method of Possession? Has it evolved to the point where it can be done this way?"

Possession?

Luo Yin was instantly dumbfounded;

Seeing Chen Qingxuan's misunderstanding deepen, she said with both shame and helplessness, "What is wrong with you... usually you're so disrespectful... now that I'm offering, you're acting all reserved?"

"It's my problem?"

Chen Qingxuan looked like he was questioning his life.

Usually you don't give a single signal, and then in the dead of night, you suddenly show up dressed so scantily.

It could be said that the pressure Luo Yin was putting on Chen Qingxuan right now was even greater than Jiang Susu's... at least the latter had the 'child bride' foreshadowing;

But Luo Yin... she was like a strict, cold English teacher who one day knocks on your desk and tells you to come to her dormitory so she can tutor you on biological blind spots—

What normal person wouldn't be suspicious?

"You..."

Luo Yin was so ashamed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into;

But meeting Chen Qingxuan's questioning gaze, she could only grit her teeth and say, "I'm not joking... tonight, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Qingxuan stated, "I only want to know, what exactly is your plan?"

"Do it first."

"Tell me first!"

Chen Qingxuan said, brooking no argument.

Are you kidding? Who would dare comply with something like this?

After a long time.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the Sleeping Hall gradually evolved into a confrontational stalemate.

"If you don't agree... I'm leaving." Luo Yin bit her teeth, making a move to turn and leave, not daring to meet Chen Qingxuan's eyes the whole time.

Chen Qingxuan said urgently, "Wait, you promised to tell me the plan tonight."

"What I said was... give you the gift first."

"I can do without the gift."

"You must have it... otherwise I won't tell you."

At this moment, Luo Yin felt a bit aggrieved.

Ever since the idea of the gift was born, she had imagined every possibility, mostly doing mental work on herself, as she wasn't an easy woman;

Now she was offering herself up for a man's pleasure.

She had imagined every possibility, including being enjoyed by Chen Qingxuan for a year... but the only thing she hadn't expected was for Chen Qingxuan to refuse.

What a waste of her careful dressing up and her change of heart.

But the reality was, the more she acted like she wanted to give herself away for free... the more uneasy Chen Qingxuan felt.

Could there be such a thing as a free lunch falling from the sky?

Does he think life is a novel?!

Finally, Chen Qingxuan even threatened, "If you don't tell me the plan tonight, I guarantee... tomorrow the Demon Alliance and the Heavenly Dao Alliance will know everything I've done... ruining your careful calculations."

"You can't!"

"Then tell me the truth."

"I..."

Luo Yin raised her exquisite face and looked straight into Chen Qingxuan's eyes.

A moment later.

Finally, Luo Yin gave in. "The key to this plan... requires you to die."

"What did you say?"

"According to the memories I plundered... the Three Thousand Divine Provinces and the Cangyun Continent are in different planes... the only passage is a Void Fissure... When the Three Thousand Divine Provinces opens the rift again... you need to throw your Physical Body into the rift... and then the forces of the Human and Demon Races will jointly destroy you... The power erupted during that time will be enough to blow up the Void Fissure... which will completely cut off contact between the two sides."

"Fuck."

Chen Qingxuan felt like he had been struck by five lightning bolts.

Seeing that Luo Yin wasn't joking anymore, he couldn't help but laugh in anger. "No wonder you wouldn't tell me the whole plan... Turns out making me control the Human and Demon Races was for the sake of killing me... and you even came here to trick me by saying I could sleep with you?"

"I... I didn't trick you." Luo Yin bit her lip and said solemnly, "This gift is real... I truly wanted to compensate you... so I wanted you to accept the gift first... because I was afraid you wouldn't agree to the plan."

"I wouldn't agree even if I fucked you!"

Chen Qingxuan was fuming with rage.

Good fortune that costs money is common;

But good fortune that costs a life, I've never heard of!

"You...?" Seeing Chen Qingxuan's anger, Luo Yin explained helplessly, "This is the only way to prevent the Cangyun Continent from being destroyed. The enemies who came from the Three Thousand Divine Provinces last time weren't the strongest among those participating in the Immortal Assessment, yet they still nearly destroyed the Cangyun Continent... If the next people to come to the Cangyun Continent discover that a contestant died here... you should be very clear about the consequences!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Chen Qingxuan said crossly.

The next moment, he added, "Do you know why I'm cooperating with you? Because I don't want to die... but here you are, calculating how I should die... Why should I die for others?"

"You ate the lotus of life, so you can be resurrected even if you die." Luo Yin explained, "I originally planned to eat it myself to fill the Void Fissure, but you ate it... This is also why I said at the beginning that you disrupted my plan."

"And then? Just because I ate the lotus of life, I have to die?" Chen Qingxuan sneered in response. "Will I still have my cultivation and strength after my Physical Body is reconstructed?"

"You can Cultivate again!" Luo Yin said softly. "Anyway, your talent is so high... what are you afraid of doing it one more time?"

"..."

Chen Qingxuan hesitated to speak;

His strength and methods... weren't fucking obtained through Cultivation.

Of course he was afraid.

"I don't have such noble awareness as you... I can't do it." Then, Chen Qingxuan said bluntly, "If this plan of yours really works, I can throw both the Human and Demon Races into the Void Fissure and blow them up together. That should be enough to destroy the passage, right?"
