Chapter 1579

「This, you……you truly are a scoundrel! 」

Xun Shuang Xianzi was furious, losing her usual calm.

She felt a power not her own, transformed from yin-yang attributes into source qi of all things, and then, in a situation she could hardly control, it followed her meridians toward the nascent soul in her dantian.

If he succeeds, today's battle will end in mutual destruction; both will die.

Not considering this space's special nature, if they fought like this in the outside world, Xiao Feng could revive after death.

But if she died, she would truly die.

「Alright, I concede, come out quickly! 」

The sensation of a person burrowing into her body made her feel terrible, like a prick on her back, and she broke out in cold sweat.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng didn't dare go too far, transforming into source qi and burrowing out from her body's surface, then recondensing into a strand of yin-yang qi.

He said, "Let's call it a draw; over the past six months of Enlightenment exchange, I've taken too much advantage from you, otherwise we couldn't have merged into the same source power."

Xun Shuang Xianzi let out a breath and sighed softly: "Losing is losing, no need for you to yield. I just didn't expect you to be so bold as to discard your Li Ti and take such a risk."

Xiao Feng shook his head: "It's not just thanks to my background's advantage; if I only had one life, I wouldn't dare act so recklessly. Didn't I scare you just now? I apologize."

「No need, I'm fine. 」

Xun Shuang Xianzi said.

Although she said she was fine, her mood was still somewhat unsettled; as soon as her words fell, she vanished from the spot and left.

Xiao Feng withdrew from the battle, his two avatars dissipated, leaving only a strand of yin-yang qi.

He tried to reform his Li Ti, but lacking sufficient understanding of his extraordinary body, the reformation failed.

Whoosh~

The yin-yang qi dissipated, and he just died.

However, dying inside caused no loss; he immediately regained his Li Ti form at the cave entrance behind Wu Xin Dao Venerable.

Two figures appeared at the cave mouth, their auras unchanged from before, with no difference.

Xun Shuang Xianzi remained silent, feeling a bit unwilling to accept defeat.

Xiao Feng's victory wasn't exactly glorious; he scratched his head and said, "Next time I won't use that trick; let's have a fair fight again."

Xun Shuang Xianzi shook her head slightly, unsure whether she thought it unnecessary or simply didn't want to fight him.

The two walked up to Wu Xin Dao Venerable.

Wu Xin Dao Venerable returned all their belongings to them.

The Myriad Tribulations Treasure Pagoda flew up, circled them once, and curiously asked, "Why isn't anyone speaking? Who won?"

「Er... 」

Xiao Feng dared not speak up.

He felt Xun Shuang Xianzi seemed angry, not knowing whether it was because his final move was too shameless or because she had never lost before, and this first defeat left her unhappy.

A faint sigh came from beside them.

Xun Shuang Xianzi said, "I accept the bet's outcome; I... I am at your disposal!"

Xiao Feng was stunned.

Wu Xin Dao Venerable's brows slightly rose; he said nothing, just silently watching the two.

Being watched by this venerable made Xiao Feng's heart crawl with goosebumps.

According to the original bet, if Xun Shuang lost, she had to show him her true appearance.

As for the later "addendum," that definitely doesn't count; he still didn't have the guts to mess with the Dao Ancestor's direct disciple, the venerable's junior sister.

At this moment, Wu Xin Dao Venerable's gaze held some deep meaning; he felt that if he took even a glance at Xun Shuang Xianzi's true visage, he'd be beaten to death.

Feeling a bit timid, he weakly said, "Just... just like this. I'll leave first; the battle gave me deep insight, perfect for returning to contemplate the Dao."

Then he took out a return-to-city talisman, preparing to leave Yunchu Shan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out the return-to-city talisman, Xun Shuang Xianzi knocked it away and said seriously, "Going back on my word would ruin my Dao heart; the prior bet cannot be broken. Senior sister bears witness: from now on I am yours, your... concubine."

That sentence started out calm, but as she went on her voice grew softer and softer.

Even with her three thousand years of cultivation, she couldn't truly remain indifferent to everything. Since it concerned her reputation and identity, she inevitably felt some sorrow.

Xiao Feng quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, I was just joking then; how could this be taken seriously? If we really must keep the promise, then... just follow what was originally said."

Although Xiao Feng was flirtatious, he still had sense; he didn't dare covet just anyone.

Xun Shuang Xianzi is a direct disciple of Fuxi the Ancestor, holding the Primordial Scripture; she also possesses the Innate Dao Body and Pure Spirit, two major traits, making her the top talent of humanity in the game world, and who knows what great expectations the Dao Ancestors have placed upon her.

If he dared to touch her, he'd probably be gone in less than a second, both his avatar and true form vanishing like smoke.

「Senior sister... 」

Xun Shuang Xianzi looked toward Wu Xin Dao Venerable, her tone pleading a little.

「Wu Xin Senior... 」

Xiao Feng also looked at that venerable, looking pitiful.

Clearly he was the winner, yet he felt himself in especial danger, like walking on thin ice.

Wu Xin Dao Venerable looked at them with interest, smiling faintly: "Don't look at me; I didn't take part in the wager. How it's calculated is up to you two to know."

Xiao Feng silently produced a second return-to-city talisman.

Better not discuss it; just run!

Otherwise, when the Dao Ancestor makes a move, you won't even know how you died!

He expelled his mana, ready to activate the talisman.

As a result, he was interrupted again!

Xun Shuang Xianzi grabbed his hand, trembling slightly, opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

Xiao Feng saw the mist on her face gradually fading; from her lip movements it looked like she was calling him, only she made no sound.

This should have been a happy thing, but for some reason he felt a bit nervous, as if sitting on pins and needles.

After the mist on her face had completely cleared, he glanced at her true appearance, then without further ado took out the Flower Moon Palace's key, forcibly teleported, and left Yunchu Shan.

"Xiao..."

Seeing his figure disappear on the spot, Xun Shuang Xianzi let out a breath of relief, yet also felt a bit lost.

She let out a faint sigh, brows furrowed deeply, walked over to the Heartless Dao Venerable's side, sat down softly on the ground, and leaned against his leg: "Senior Sister, I..."

The Heartless Dao Venerable wore a gentle smile, rubbed her hair, and said: "Silly child, your Dao heart is still not steady enough."

"Hmm..."

"He has already seen your true appearance; that counts as fulfilling it. Let's stop here. Adjust your mindset well."

"But..."

"But what? You wouldn't really want to be someone's concubine, would you?"

"No."

"Heh, fool, even if you were willing, he wouldn't dare take you. What are you still obsessing over?"

"I... because I spoke too boastfully, now I've truly lost and can't save face. Not being able to fulfill all the promises I made is wrong; it will ruin my state of mind and affect my future cultivation."

"So then, what exactly do you want to do?"

The Heartless Dao Venerable patiently persuaded her.

Xun Shuang Xianzi thought for a moment and said: "He's already gone; then... I'll consider it a debt I owe him once, and I'll repay him if the chance arises."

"Hmm, then let's leave it at that. Don't think about it anymore; cultivation is most important." The Heartless Dao Venerable patted her head.

After a moment, he earnestly reminded: "You can repay this debt however you like, even by sacrificing your life. But... you must not have any intimate physical contact with him, understand?"

"Yes..." Xun Shuang instinctively wanted to ask why, but after uttering just one syllable she swallowed it back, feeling embarrassed to ask.

The Heartless Dao Venerable saw her doubt and explained: "He's not strong enough. Moreover... this anomaly is too great; the virtual universe probably can't withstand it."

"??" Xun Shuang looked up at her Senior Sister, not only failing to understand, but becoming even more confused.
