72: The man I think about day and night

Dying for love?

Chen Qingxuan was stunned.

But as he looked at the faces of Zhao Xiaoyin and the other women, seeing their unwavering and resolute expressions... a warm current welled up in his heart.

Indeed, a kind-hearted boy like him... would never be betrayed by girls.

Except for that talent who doesn't understand him!

"Good!"

Chen Qingxuan abruptly stood up.

He wrapped his left arm around Zhao Xiaoyin and pulled another woman close with his right, declaring in a firm and powerful tone: "Since that's the case, then all of you shall travel with me. I promise you this: as long as I survive in the future... you will all emerge safely from the torrent of the world's reshaping!"

"Boss~~~"

The women instantly beamed with joy;

They excitedly rushed towards Chen Qingxuan one after another, their fragrant scents filling the air.

"?"

Zhao Xiaoyin, who had been pushed aside, had black lines on her face;

Before she could even speak, she was shoved another ten meters away.

She was clearly the one being held in his arms just a moment ago!

"Who, who's touching me?" Chen Qingxuan raised his head, trying to see which girl was being naughty, but as soon as the words left his mouth, his head was pulled into another embrace.

"Hugging is fine, but leave some air for me, hey... I can't breathe!"

... In a mountain range.

After relocating their Beloved Disciple to a safe place, both Ren Zixia and Pei Qingli were furious.

"Did you two launch the First Cang Yun Grand Martial Arts Competition just to deal with him?"

"Such a major event, why didn't you tell us in advance? What if we hadn't arrived in time today?"

"..."

Huang Qingxue and Jiang Susu lowered their heads in silence;

Although they had calmed down considerably now, the experience of being bullied by Chen Qingxuan earlier... still echoed incessantly in their minds.

Especially since every word Chen Qingxuan said had precisely trampled on their bottom lines;

As if on purpose!

Yet they could do nothing about Chen Qingxuan... This feeling was akin to a dog being tethered outside a restroom but unable to enter;

Too hungry... ahem, too frustrating.

Now, facing their Revered Master's questioning and recalling their previous defeat... The two women naturally couldn't find the words and understood they had made a mistake.

Because they underestimated Chen Qingxuan's strength, the outcome was completely different from what they had anticipated.

"Revered Master... his stamina is too overwhelming," Huang Qingxue raised her phoenix eyes, which were tinged with red, and said resentfully, "I cultivated so diligently... and even gathered so many people... yet we still couldn't do anything to him."

Ren Zixia frowned upon hearing this, "What does this have to do with his stamina?"

"He improves his strength by using women as Cauldrons," Huang Qingxue explained.

"..."

Ren Zixia's small mouth fell open.

After all, whether it was Huang Qingxue or Jiang Susu, their individual strengths were already no inferior to their two Revered Masters, not to mention the many other powerful figures from various Schools... So many people, yet they couldn't handle one... Evil Cultivator who improves by using women as Cauldrons?

Good heavens, can someone really be that formidable?

Ren Zixia was dumbfounded.

"heartless man!"

Jiang Susu, meanwhile, kept repeating this phrase;

Pei Qingli looked at her: "Susu, didn't I already tell you he didn't sell you back then... Why did you go along with Qingxue in doing such a thing?"

Jiang Susu raised her aggrieved little face, "He deceived me!"

"Deceived you?"

"He promised he wouldn't abandon me, that he would marry me when I grew up," Jiang Susu clenched her pink fists and said plaintively, "But he threw me into Yihua Palace... and went off to find other women himself... Not only did he give me no explanation... today he even kissed Qingxue right in front of me!"

Mentioning this, Jiang Susu stamped her foot in anger.

"..."

A flicker of panic flashed in Huang Qingxue's eyes, her heart pounding wildly.

Although she now felt like killing Chen Qingxuan, the lingering aftereffects of the love powder meant that recalling the scene of being forcibly kissed... made her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerate;

She was furious to the core... yet physiologically, she couldn't muster any disgust.

Even when she tried to suppress the strange thoughts with anger, her cheeks only grew hotter... and her heartbeat raced so fast it made her tremble.

"Detestable!"

Suddenly, Huang Qingxue couldn't help but shout.

The three women cast surprised glances her way.

Ren Zixia placed her hands on Huang Qingxue's fragrant shoulders, concerned, "Qingxue, what's wrong with you?"

"I..."

A hint of guilt flashed in Huang Qingxue's eyes.

Under the intense gazes of the three women, the next moment, she racked her brains to explain, "I... I'm just unwilling, Revered Master... I'm unwilling to lose to him."

"I understand!"

Ren Zixia stopped scolding and gently embraced her Beloved Disciple to comfort her, "I know this has been a knot in your heart all along, but now is not the time... In the future, your Revered Master will help you deal with him together. Don't do anything foolish again, alright?"

"Mm!"

Huang Qingxue nodded guiltily.

Just as Jiang Susu was about to speak, Pei Qingli interrupted her, "Susu, you all wait here for me. Your Revered Master needs to leave for a while."

Whoosh——

Having said that, Pei Qingli turned and flew away.

She intended to find Chen Qingxuan and get a clear explanation.

Although Chen Qingxuan had acted like a beast earlier, for some reason... she felt something was off.

Perhaps because she had interacted with Chen Qingxuan a few times before, she had an inexplicable sense that he wasn't that kind of person, which was why she wanted to go ask him alone for clarification.

Not long after, a graceful figure caught up, none other than Jiang Susu.

"Why did you come?"

Pei Qingli stopped in surprise.

Jiang Susu bit her small lip, "Revered Master, are you going to find him?"

"Hmm?"

Pei Qingli was taken aback.

But the next moment, she decided to conceal her true intention for now, only saying she was going to a nearby School.

"That's good then," Jiang Susu sighed in relief, "Revered Master, you go ahead!"

"Susu, you... wait until I return to talk."

Pei Qingli hesitated, holding back her words;

She wasn't a fool either; by now, she could clearly see that her Beloved Disciple genuinely harbored feelings for Chen Qingxuan.

This couldn't help but remind her of a few years ago, when Chen Qingxuan had once found her and told her about nearly being drugged by Jiang Susu.

Initially, she had questioned her Beloved Disciple, thinking Chen Qingxuan was lying.

But now... things probably weren't that simple.

"Hmph, you scoundrel... Susu is so devoted to you... and yet you flirt with me every time?"

Along the way, Pei Qingli grew angrier the more she thought about it;

Especially recalling how earlier, Chen Qingxuan had shamelessly suggested she and Huang Qingxue serve him together in bed... Regardless of any underlying reasons, she was determined to give him a good scolding.

It was too much.

Did he really think she had no temper?

How could such words be said openly?

But when she arrived at the Hundred Flowers Tower, filled with resentment... she found it already empty, with everyone gone... Western Regions;

In the main hall of the Demon Emperor Palace.

"Demon Lord, this person is named Chen Qingxuan. He established the Hundred Flowers Tower in the Central Plains, publicly calling it the Immortal Cultivation Celebrity Agency, and loves to recruit women of exceptional beauty..."

"This time, the Sect Master of the Divine Phoenix Sect from the Southern Border and the Palace Master of Yihua Palace from the Eastern Lands, along with various other forces, joined forces to besiege him. It was only then that his true nature as an Evil Cultivator was revealed. However, this siege was unsuccessful; instead, they were severely wounded by him. Moreover, according to rumors... as a member of the Human Race, he actually controls the Demonic Power of our Yao Race..."

Xuan Ling reported the information she had obtained;

Meanwhile, Ji Li was holding a portrait, staring at it in a daze.

Xuan Ling tentatively asked, "Demon Lord, did you hear what I said?"

"..."

Ji Li snapped back to reality;

Her jade-like hand holding the portrait tightened, crumpling the paper into wrinkles, "You damned Bitch... So you were really hiding in the Central Plains... and you even obtained Qian You's power!"

"What?"

Xuan Ling was startled upon hearing this and swallowed hard, "Demon Lord... how can you be sure it's him?"

"Remember what you said last time about sensing Demonic Power identical to Qian You's in the Central Plains?" Ji Li's voice was as cold as frost, "I believe that Demonic Power... emanated from him... and... even though he has shed his disguise... these eyes of his... I would recognize them even in death!"

Before Xuan Ling could speak;

At that moment, a graceful figure suddenly rushed into the hall, "Demon Lord, there is someone outside requesting an audience... and he says he is... the man you've been daydreaming about."

He dares to come back?
