Chapter 188
“Look, this is Broken Sword Cliff of Taihua Sect.” At this moment, Ye Xuan was leading Hu Qianzao, strolling along the paths of Taihua Mountain. He pointed to a peak and said to Hu Qianzao.
To be honest, Ye Xuan was never really a paragon of virtue; his character was even somewhat wicked.
However, he had been portrayed by the script as a passionately virtuous gentleman for some time now, so much so that Ye Xuan himself felt he was becoming quite rigid.
Walking with Hu Qianzao, he had actually managed to restrain himself from making any improper moves on her. Perhaps, possibly, maybe it was the immortal energy of Taihua Sect that suppressed his wicked thoughts.
Nevertheless, while talking, Ye Xuan’s gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to Hu Qianzao’s charming appearance, and he felt his heart stir.
He unconsciously reached out for Hu Qianzao’s hand and took it in his own. At this moment, Hu Qianzao stiffened slightly, and her nine tails swished unnaturally behind her.
Although her mind was filled with memories of intimate moments with Ye Xuan from her past as Hu Qian’er, now being held by Ye Xuan made her feel incredibly shy.
Holding Ye Xuan’s hand, she felt both bashful and happy. If she didn’t speak now, it would be too awkward.
Her eyes followed Ye Xuan’s pointing to Broken Sword Cliff, and there on that massive cliff face, neatly aligned, were two lines of enormous characters.
“Within the myriad sword lights, a single star falls from the southern pole.” Looking at those two huge lines of characters, Hu Qianzao felt as if she could faintly see a sword immortal dancing within the words.
Powerful as a rainbow, commanding as a star, the sword light stretched for millions of miles.
“This sword intent feels very similar to the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique you demonstrated earlier, doesn’t it?” While allowing Ye Xuan to hold her hand, suppressing the shyness in her heart, Hu Qianzao turned to Ye Xuan and asked.
“This is indeed a technique from the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique.” Ye Xuan said, “It is also the most difficult technique in the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique.”
“I’ve heard that aside from the Taihua ancestor, the Bixia Zhenren, no one else has ever successfully practiced this technique before.”
“But you have succeeded… Ye Xuan, you are amazing.” Hu Qianzao praised Ye Xuan, “You might become the second Bixia.”
Bixia Zhenren, a being not of this world, is an immortal descended to earth, whose techniques mortals could not directly practice without simplifying countless times.
Yet Ye Xuan had succeeded and such talent truly deserved admiration.
Hearing Hu Qianzao’s praise, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “It’s just that fate has arrived.”
If it weren’t for the system, he would actually just be an ordinary person.
“Ye Xuan…”Watching the Ye Xuan who was treating her gently, Hu Qianzao’s face turned slightly red, and then, with a bit of guilt, she said, “I’m sorry…”
Thinking about everything that had happened before, Ye Xuan had given his all, yet she had hurt Ye Xuan deeply.
Although it was later proven that it wasn’t her who had abandoned Ye Xuan, but that she was attacked by the Heart Devouring Gu, she still felt very indebted to Ye Xuan.
After all, she might be innocent, but Ye Xuan was truly the most innocent.
“Alright, alright, why bring up apologies again, let’s let bygones be bygones.” Ye Xuan patted Hu Qianzao’s head, comforting her.
The plot was all arranged by him, anything that happened was actually his own doing, and he certainly didn’t mind what had happened in the past.
However, he was originally trying to comfort Hu Qianzao, but while patting her head, he unconsciously touched her ears.
Those large fox ears, Ye Xuan had actually noticed them a long time ago, but he had no chance to touch them before, and now he accidentally touched them, his hand instinctively went to pinch them.
“Um~” When Ye Xuan touched her ears, Hu Qianzao unconsciously let out a soft moan. Immediately, her face turned even redder.
“Strange…” Watching Hu Qianzao’s reaction, Ye Xuan curiously said, “I just touched your ear, why such a big reaction, do foxes, like cats, find it comfortable to have their ears pinched?”
“…” Hu Qianzao’s nine tails swayed gently, and she said somewhat helplessly, “I don’t know, I’ve never let anyone touch my ears before… it feels kind of strange.”
This feeling of having her ears touched, as an animal instinct, is naturally very comfortable. However, she is a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, with her own dignity, and it wouldn’t be possible to let people touch her ears casually like ordinary animals.
Furthermore, beings like demons, spirit beasts, or dragons absolutely do not allow others to touch their true physical features easily.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be like being treated as a pet? As the head of the Jade Fox Palace, she certainly couldn’t let people treat her with such disrespect.
But now, being touched by Ye Xuan, she didn’t feel repulsed at all, in fact, she even enjoyed and looked forward to it.
“Really?” Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile mischievously, “Then let me touch your tail.”
“Ah…” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao panicked. “This… this isn’t appropriate…”
She quickly shook her head, “There are so many people here…”
Just being touched on the ear had such a big reaction, Hu Qianzao worried she would embarrass herself if touched on the tail…
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked around and saw a few female disciples of Taihua Sect curiously gathered nearby, watching them.
“Is she the head of the Jade Fox Palace… so beautiful.”
“Isn’t she? I heard she and Brother Ye Xuan have a predestined relationship, so in this life they are supposed to be Dao companions.”
“A predestined relationship, how enviable–!”
“When will I ever have a lover with whom I have a predestined relationship…”
“There must be a very tragic love story here, Sister Yuxin, you must quickly find a way to write it down for us to enjoy.”
“Don’t worry, with me, Yulou Chunxiao here, such good material will not be missed. When I have time, I’ll immediately go to the Jade Fox Palace to gather information and write a novel about an epic romance.”
At this moment, a pretty young girl showed an excited expression, the fire of gossip burning brightly in her eyes.
“Wow, that’s great, Sister is going to write again, then I must hurry to invite Uncle Qing’ao over to do the illustrations for Sister’s new work.”
Listening to the conversation of these Taihua female disciples, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be speechless.
Taihua Sect is actually a very gossipy sect, it’s just that before he had no flying ability and couldn’t freely travel between peaks.
Now, he finally witnessed the gossiping capabilities of these disciples. Not only writing novels but also inviting an uncle to do life drawing illustrations?
“What are they saying?” Hu Qianzao curiously asked Ye Xuan.
“It’s nothing.” Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s just some hobbies of the disciples of Taihua Sect. Most disciples of Taihua Sect are proficient in either the qin or the sword, and there are many who are skilled in poetry and music.”
“Some people, having nothing else to do, have developed some hobbies. For example, that sister who claims to be Yulou Chunxiao, she is a very famous novelist.”
“Her romance novels are very popular, and she has a well-known nickname in the literary world, which is Yulou Chunxiao.”
“As for that Uncle Qing’ao, he is one of the Seven Sword Saints of Taihua Sect, usually very proud and arrogant, but he has a unique hobby of drawing beauties.”
“So Sister Yuxin often invites him to do illustrations for her novels, and they split the income seventy-thirty. They said they want to write our love story into a novel…”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s explanation, Hu Qianzao suddenly felt a bit excited. Although she truly did owe Ye Xuan, a man as passionately devoted as he was certainly deserved to be written about in a novel and praised by others.
A plan began to form in her mind.
