Chapter 1861

I think the relationship between Longshe Shan and Tian Du Men needs to be strengthened; the current relationship isn't close enough, our ties aren't deep enough, and the medicinal trade requires a deeper relationship. What do you think? Chen Chuyang smiled, eyes narrowed, looking at Wu Mie Zhenren; the transaction was over, and it was time to tease this woman.

He discovered that these women from Tianwai were quite different; their cultivation was high, yet they were not easily teased, especially Wu Mie Zhenren, a woman with decent cultivation, whose emotional side seemed a blank slate, just like Bai Xinlan— a few words could disturb her mind, making it hard for her to stay calm.

Wu Mie Zhenren blinked, stared blankly at Chen Chuyang, and was dumbfounded.

She really didn't know how to answer this question; the question was too frightening, she hadn't thought it through yet, and she didn't know how to discuss this topic with Chen Chuyang. If it were about others, she could talk directly or make decisions for them, including her disciple Bai Hang Holy Maiden— she could decide for them as well.

As for her own matters, Wu Mie Zhenren had no idea or plan, never having considered this aspect; Chen Chuyang's sudden question left her utterly bewildered, not knowing how to… give a straightforward answer.

"I haven't decided yet; if you want to deepen our relationship, my disciple Bai Hang is very suitable— she is the Holy Maiden of my Tian Du Men and also someone valued by the Tian Du Dragon King. Fellow Daoist Chen Chuyang, if you don't mind, my disciple could marry into your family; what do you think?" Wu Mie Zhenren could only offer her disciple Bai Hang Holy Maiden, who had affection for this person, and she saw this as a way to help them.

Chen Chuyang hadn't expected Wu Mie Zhenren to say that; he laughed and shook his head: "Wu Mie Zhenren, you know what I want."

"Bai Hang Holy Maiden is indeed good, excellent in all aspects, but what I want is not her."

Chen Chuyang smiled, eyes narrowed, looking at Wu Mie Zhenren, continuing to tease her; hearing this, Wu Mie Zhenren's eyes widened, her face flushed, she fidgeted, momentarily not knowing what to do or say.

Her flustered appearance was quite amusing— exactly the effect he wanted— and Chen Chuyang's eyes were full of smiles.

"Wu Mie Zhenren, you know what I'm saying; why pretend to be clueless?"

Chen Chuyang stood up, walked over to Wu Mie Zhenren, came to her side, lowered his head, gazed at the seated Wu Mie Zhenren, and said softly: "Wu Mie Zhenren, compared to Bai Hang Holy Maiden, I think you're better; could it be that you have no feelings for me?"

"Am I being sentimental, or do you simply have no feelings for me?"

Wu Mie Zhenren flusteredly waved her hands; she was at a loss— shaking her head wasn't right, nodding wasn't right, nothing she did felt correct.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, she could only lower her head and choose silence, for she truly didn't know how to answer the question or how to deal with Chen Chuyang.

She couldn't bring herself to utter perfunctory words.

Chen Chuyang saw her panic and her tangled thoughts; his goal achieved, he stopped speaking, and if he patted her shoulder, he would say gently: "Wu Mie Zhenren, think it over; when you've figured it out, come find me."

After saying that, Chen Chuyang left the room.

Left alone in the room, Wu Mie Zhenren stared blankly for a long time before finally regaining her composure.

Gazing at the doorway, seeing no trace of Chen Chuyang, Wu Mie Zhenren clenched her fists, gritted her teeth— an utterly adorable sight.

"Chen Chuyang, could it be that you really have taken a liking to me?"

"What about me is good enough to win you over?"

In a daze, she walked out of the room and then left Longshe Shan.

Having arrived outside the Mangshan Mountain Range, Emei Zhenren immediately went to meet her; seeing her junior sister's lost and listless appearance, Emei Zhenren hurriedly asked: "Junior sister, what's wrong? Has someone bullied you?"

The angry Emei Zhenren was about to draw her sword and rush in, wanting to vent for her junior sister.

Wu Mie Zhenren quickly grabbed Emei Zhenren's hand, saying: "I'm fine, no one bullied me, senior sister— don't act rashly, don't cause trouble."

Emei Zhenren frowned: "Then why do you look so lost and listless? If you were bullied, tell your senior sister, and I'll vent for you."

"You are my junior sister; besides me, no one else may bully you."

"Whoever dares to bully my Emei Zhenren's junior sister is asking for death."

Wu Mie Zhenren laughed through tears: "Senior sister, you needn't worry; no one bullied me— it's just me, the junior sister, thinking about my own affairs."

Emei Zhenren didn't believe her, asking: "Junior sister, what exactly happened? Could the trade have failed?"

"If it failed, it failed— it's no big deal; you don't need to react like this."

Wu Mie Zhenren looked at her senior sister, sighed, and realized this matter couldn't be hidden; she had to tell her.

Thus, Wu Mie Zhenren briefly organized her words, simply recounted what had happened, and also told her about Chen Chuyang taking a liking to her.

After speaking, Wu Mie Zhenren wore a worried, grim expression: "Senior sister, that's how it is; I, the junior sister, don't know how to resolve it, nor how to respond to him."

"I feel he's teasing me, yet what he says is well-founded and not false."

"He has many lovely confidantes around him; I am among them, but I'm not outstanding— why would he take a liking to me?"

"Senior sister, please help me strategize."

Emei Zhenren, upon hearing this, took a deep breath, immediately lowered her sword blade, her tense body relaxing; she gripped Wu Mie Zhenren's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "Wu Mie junior sister, this is a good thing— someone has taken a liking to you, and you don't dislike him, which shows you have feelings for him; after all these years, you've finally met a decent person— seize the opportunity."

"As for the many women around him, that's no matter; strong ones always have many women around them, showing he's outstanding. You, meanwhile, needn't worry so much— if he wants a marriage alliance, we can ally with him; marrying him, our Tian Du Men won't lose out, and neither will you, junior sister."

"His ability to handle so many women indicates his physique is excellent— junior sister, you're blessed."

"Senior sister, can't you be serious? I'm discussing a serious matter with you." Wu Mie Zhenren stamped her foot, wondering what this senior sister was saying— a good matter had turned into something else when it reached her lips.

"Junior sister." Emei Zhenren gripped her hand and said earnestly: "What I said is true; this matter holds great promise, you cannot refuse— it concerns a major affair of our Tian Du Men; allying with him through marriage, I believe the whole sect will agree."

"The master of Longshe Shan is someone the Tian Du Dragon King also highly values; if you marry into that family, the Dragon King will surely agree as well."

"Junior sister, rest assured— if you marry into that family, I, your senior sister, will certainly prepare a grand gift and send you off in splendid style."

"Senior sister, I've said it's not about that— it's about me…" Wu Mie Zhenren looked at her excited, agitated senior sister, who seemed eager to marry her off, as if afraid she wouldn't be able to marry at all.
