279: Shen Li learned the truth

Su Xuan: "..."

Su Xuan looked at the Secret Manual Shen Li handed over, his mouth twitching, his face full of speechlessness.

"Who wants your Cultivation Technique? Do I look like someone who lacks Cultivation Techniques?"

He tossed the Cultivation Technique aside, saying irritably.

This Shen Li still needed to be taught a lesson! He had hinted so obviously, yet Shen Li was still like a block of wood! Was this what they called a ditz?

"Then... what do you want? This is a treasure of our Holy Land, many people fight tooth and nail for it and still can't get it!"

Shen Li was startled by Su Xuan's sudden action, her eyes wide, looking aggrieved.

This was the most precious thing she had on her right now, and Su Xuan actually didn't want it! Then she had no other way!

Su Xuan looked at Shen Li's innocent and bewildered expression, feeling a wave of helplessness. He simply leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, Shen Li's face instantly turned crimson, from her earlobes all the way down to her neck. She was both shy and annoyed, not expecting that this was what Su Xuan actually wanted!

If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? She clearly didn't resist before, then said no, but now he's saying yes?

Bro, why are you acting like a woman? Saying no means yes, and saying yes means yes!

"You're really shameless! You clearly wanted these things, yet you had to do so much foreplay!"

Shen Li rolled her eyes at Su Xuan.

"Heh heh, you don't understand this! This is what's called 'flirtation'! Besides, how unbearable would it be to just go straight to it? Haven't you experienced it firsthand?"

Su Xuan chuckled.

Hearing this, Shen Li's face immediately turned even redder, because she had indeed experienced such a thing.

With a sound of 'old shoulders slipping greatly', Shen Li's stunning original appearance instantly appeared before Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's eyes were also drawn, staring intently at Shen Li.

Before, because he wanted to teach Shen Li a lesson, he didn't have time to properly observe what Shen Li looked like.

Shen Li's skin was very fair, like milk, and most noticeably, she had a small mole on her abdomen, which looked very tempting and delicious.

"Are you crazy? Don't keep looking at me like that, I'll be very shy!"

Shen Li's face was as red as if bleeding. Although she and Su Xuan had several experiences before, being stared at so intently by Su Xuan would still make her shy!

"Your skin is really good, very fair, and quite large! I underestimated you before!"

Su Xuan teased.

Facing Su Xuan's teasing, Shen Li dared not respond, but her body grew hotter and hotter.

In her current state, she should have felt cold, but instead, it was as if she was being burned by a raging fire!

This feeling, she had only experienced it with Ye Yan!

At that time, it was clearly winter, but under the protection of Ye Yan's Crimson Firmament Divine Body, she even wore a short-sleeved shirt and played in the snow nearby.

"Nonsense... Can you hurry up... Like this, I won't know how to face you in the future!"

Shen Li said shyly.

"What's the rush! Haste makes waste! You wouldn't not know this simple truth, would you?"

"Besides, comparatively speaking, I think I still prefer you in that palace dress you wore earlier!"

They say clothes make the man. Once the clothes are gone, Su Xuan felt that many things, after seeing them too much, were just like that!

Therefore, comparatively, Su Xuan still preferred that elusive, half-hidden feeling.

He couldn't quite explain why, perhaps it was like some people who, knowing they couldn't win over the goddess, still insisted on trying!

Because, they all liked the feeling of unrequited love?

Su Xuan didn't understand~ He had never experienced unrequited love; if he wanted something, he would just snatch it.

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Su Xuan had been slow to act, Shen Li immediately grew anxious. It was rare for her to take the initiative.

...

Two hours later, Shen Li changed back into her palace dress. Shen Li in the palace dress was indeed much more beautiful than she had been just now.

The only flaw was that Shen Li's hair was a bit messy, not conforming to her usual ladylike image!

That was nothing, after all, people all had some contrasts, Su Xuan could understand.

Shen Li tidied her hair slightly and re-tied it into a ponytail with a hair tie.

"Now, can you tell me why?"

Although she had been somewhat carried away just now, she hadn't forgotten her original purpose.

"Well... the answer is actually very simple, but let's agree beforehand, don't cry after I tell you, okay?"

Su Xuan gave a preemptive warning.

"We Cultivators, should stride through the heavens, how could I cry over such a small matter?"

Shen Li felt that she was being underestimated by Su Xuan, and immediately became a little unhappy.

"Ye Yan is dead! A dead person, how do you say he can compete with me? Right?"

Su Xuan laughed heartily.

"What... how could that be..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li's body swayed violently, the color instantly drained from her face. She looked at Su Xuan in disbelief, her lips trembling, unable to speak for a long while.

Although she said she hated Ye Yan, she still had Ye Yan in her heart, though not much.

After all, when a person, someone who had accompanied you for so long, suddenly dies like that, you would still inexplicably feel sad when you learn of his death.

However, with the recent intimacy, Shen Li quickly recovered.

"How did he die? He was a Saint of the Holy Land after all, how could a normal person kill him so easily?"

Shen Li asked.

"I heard he teamed up with the Poison Emperor, killed Elder Shen, and was then executed by the Holy Land!"

Su Xuan chuckled.

"What? My father is dead?"

Hearing this, Shen Li's mind instantly went blank, and her entire body collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Su Xuan caught Shen Li in time, otherwise, Shen Li would have fallen directly.

"No! How could this be! How is this possible! My father is a Great Emperor, how could he die?"

Shen Li cried hysterically, lying in Su Xuan's embrace.

Su Xuan held the hysterically crying Shen Li, the smile on his face gradually disappearing, replaced by a complex expression.

He was someone who hated seeing women cry, even if he was just pretending at this moment, he couldn't help but show a sad expression.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwu! Why did my father die! Why! Why!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu, damn Ye Yan! My father was so good to you, why did you kill him!"

"Wuwuwuwuwu, I really misjudged you back then! Ye Yan! Wuwuwuwuwu!"

Shen Li cried terribly, her eyes almost bleeding from crying, making Su Xuan feel distressed.
