Chapter 348

While Li Chen and Long Mu were conspiring, in the hot spring on the other side.

Ao Jiao was soaking in the hot spring, feeling uneasy. She didn't know why, but as soon as she returned to the Returning Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect, she would be able to see Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, yet she couldn't feel happy at all.

Was she going to go back to those days of following Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian every day?

Although she hadn't suffered much, she hadn't enjoyed any happiness either.

If only the days could stop at this moment, carefree in this place.

With Li Chen's thoughtful care and her mother's company.

But all this was Ao Jiao's wishful thinking. She knew very well that Li Chen was not her man; how could she ask Li Chen to accompany her all the time? No matter how you put it, it wasn't reasonable.

It wasn't just Ao Jiao; the other Sea Clan beauties around were also feeling anxious.

Anyway, ever since they arrived at this place, they had tacitly avoided mentioning Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, nor had they talked about when they were going back; it seemed they were all avoiding this matter.

Just as Ao Jiao buried her head in the hot spring to blow bubbles, a "water snake" with a slender waist and ample assets walked over.

"Princess, what's wrong? You seem unhappy." Po Xi naturally came to Ao Jiao's side.

Her exquisite figure was fully revealed, especially the swaying when she walked, which could hook a person's soul away.

Sometimes Ao Jiao also felt it was exaggerated; this woman was the same age as her and was also unmarried, so why did she have such a heavy "young married woman" vibe?

"Nothing, I just haven't seen my father for a long time." Ao Jiao just casually found an excuse.

She couldn't just say directly, "I want Li Chen to accompany me," could she?

As a Sea Clan princess, her skin was still very thin.

Hearing Ao Jiao say this, a flash of cunning crossed Po Xi's eyes.

She seemed to be plotting something, and also seemed to be testing Ao Jiao.

The two women chatted casually for a while, and seeing that the time was about right, Po Xi whispered, "Princess, what do you think of Young Master Li?"

This question gave Ao Jiao a fright, and a wave appeared in the hot spring.

Her jewel-blue eyes looked at Po Xi, not knowing what Po Xi meant by asking this.

"Young Master Li? He is powerful, does things very thoroughly, and although his identity is a bit mysterious, it looks like his background is also very strong. Sister Nanzhi revealed that they live in the imperial capital and the house is very big."

Ao Jiao just symbolically said some words of praise for Li Chen.

But sometimes, expressions can reveal the inner heart.

When mentioning Li Chen, Ao Jiao showed a smile, and a look of longing couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

Wu Nanzhi had said at the time that their home was very big and welcomed Ao Jiao and the others to visit.

Of course, it only welcomed Ao Jiao and the others, not Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian.

Ao Jiao and Po Xi kept pulling back and forth, saying some ambiguous things, and the topic was always revolving around Li Chen.

Neither of them wanted to break through their true inner thoughts, fearing that if the other party discovered their little secrets, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

Po Xi felt that this little princess was truly watertight; I wanted to trick her into saying whether she had a crush on Li Chen, but she kept going in circles and just wouldn't say it.

Po Xi actually understood her own heart better than Ao Jiao.

She followed Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian simply because she felt Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was powerful, looked good, and had a solid background.

As a rogue cultivator in this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, who wouldn't want to find a backer?

Still, if she hadn't met Li Chen, Po Xi would have felt Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was actually okay, except for the fact that he didn't touch them.

But since the more excellent Li Chen appeared, Po Xi felt that wouldn't it be better for her to be with Li Chen?

So on the journey with Li Chen, Po Xi was relatively close to him.

To be honest, if it weren't for the other Sea Clan beauties nearby, Po Xi might have already thrown herself into Li Chen's arms.

She knew Li Chen had a good impression of her because Li Chen was a normal man!

And she had heard Wu Nanzhi say that Li Chen had more than one woman, so he certainly wouldn't be resistant to her, so being with Li Chen was the best choice.

Since the little princess was playing dumb, Po Xi simply laid her cards on the table.

"Do you intend to return to the Returning Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect?" Po Xi stared into Ao Jiao's eyes and said.

"If we don't go back, where else can we go?" Ao Jiao seemed to continue playing tai chi.

"Then we should definitely follow Young Master Li. Being by Young Master Li's side is much more comfortable than being by Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian's side." Po Xi hadn't experienced the "deeper level of comfort," but she could imagine it.

This sentence gave Ao Jiao a huge fright. She had only thought about it and felt it was wrong; who knew Po Xi would actually dare to say it out loud?

After a long while, Ao Jiao organized her language and said, "How can you do this? Do you feel no guilt toward the Divine Son Jun?"

This was indeed Ao Jiao's psychological burden. After all, she had set her heart on Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian; how could she change?

Shouldn't we Sea Clan women be like this?

Hearing this, Po Xi puffed out her chest and said righteously, "What do we owe him? Besides, even if we feel guilty, so what? There are so many women around Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian, some of whom came even earlier than us, and he hasn't touched a single one. Are we supposed to live as widows for him?"

This sentence made Ao Jiao understand Po Xi's purpose: she just didn't want to live as a widow.

If Po Xi had said this at any other time, Ao Jiao would certainly have retorted with a cold face.

But it was different now; she also felt Li Chen was better, she just couldn't get past this hurdle in her heart.

Po Xi had indeed given her a reason. You have to know, Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian was in a precarious situation in the Dragon Palace's treasury at the time, and it was she who let Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian out; she could be considered to have done Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian a favor, so she really didn't owe him anything.

If she could choose, she would definitely choose Li Chen; there was no doubt about that.

Seeing Ao Jiao still hesitating, Po Xi added more fuel to the fire: "Anyway, I intend to express my feelings to Young Master Li here. Once Young Master Li leaves, I will never have this opportunity again."

This sentence gave Ao Jiao a sense of urgency. She buried her head and said, "But, but..."

After "butting" for a long time, she couldn't speak.

Po Xi thought Ao Jiao's thinking couldn't be turned around, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't force you. Everyone has their own aspirations. You can go and tell the Divine Son Jun if you want; this is my choice."

Who knew Ao Jiao would quickly wave her hands and explain, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to express that my mother is here, and I don't dare to act so recklessly. She has always taught me..."

You can just give yourself away, but my mother is here! If I give myself away, my mother will beat me to death!

When Po Xi heard this, it turned out to be such a small matter; I thought you were talking about something else.

Po Xi climbed out of the hot spring, searched through her clothes for a while, and took out a bottle.

"This is a potion I developed myself in the past. It can make people below the Sage Realm fall into a deep sleep after inhaling it. Don't misunderstand; I was a rogue cultivator before, and I cherish my life very much."

She wasn't a little princess like Ao Jiao; wandering the ocean alone, she certainly had to have some life-saving things.

Po Xi whispered her plan in Ao Jiao's ear: when they had dinner later, Po Xi would pour wine for the other Sea Clan beauties, and Ao Jiao would pour for her mother. As long as everyone else fell, the two of them could start their "give-away" plan.
