Chapter 278

Xu Chen bared his teeth: "Immortal Miss, may I ask what you intend to do?" Ling Qingyan looked at him now, her eyes slightly red.

Yes, in his past life he was the female lead, helped Ye Xuan, and crippled Xu Chen.

But she had no choice, because she couldn't control the plot.

She was inside the book—what could she do?

After she crippled Xu Chen back then, her heart had been utterly unmoved.

But she never expected that when she was attacked by enemies, Xu Chen took the fatal blow meant for her and Piaomiao.

At the moment Xu Chen lay on the brink of death, she finally realized she had fallen in love with this man.

A mad, all-consuming love, one that would sacrifice everything for Xu Chen.

She didn't know how he endured the next ninety-eight lifetimes.

She only knew that this life, since it had begun again,

she would protect Xu Chen at all costs—anyone who dared kill him, she would kill them.

She felt guilt for her past attacks on Xu Chen, and regret for never treating him well.

So just now, when she saw Xu Chen defending Dark Dragon Hall, she intervened.

Even though she had once been enemies with Dark Dragon Hall, she was willing to bury the past and save it for Xu Chen's sake.

Her actions had already said it all.

Yet unfortunately, Xu Chen had mistaken her for wanting to kill him.

She felt wronged, heartbroken, and suffocated.

Was this heaven's revenge upon her?

She had hurt Xu Chen, treated him so cruelly in her past life—was she now unworthy of being kind to him?

She cried; she could no longer hold back.

If she could have one chance to start over, she swore she would never hurt Xu Chen again—never.

But was there still a chance?

The woman who had once been sharp and calculating now stared blankly at Xu Chen, tears glistening in her eyes.

Xu Chen had accepted the other female leads, yet utterly refused to accept her!

She clenched her silver teeth, nervously saying: "I—I just wanted to help you." She was terrified of saying one wrong word and provoking Xu Chen's impatience again.

She had to explain quickly—she truly wanted to help Xu Chen, not harm him.

Xu Chen naturally didn't believe her; after all, the old fox's words could all be faked. He exclaimed in shock: "Immortal Miss, I dare not believe your words."

Come on, didn't you, Ling Qingyan, kill countless people in Dark Dragon Abyss with a smile?

If he believed every word spoken to him, he'd be dead long ago.

Even Gongsun Piaomiao looked bewildered: "Master, just tell us—what exactly are you trying to do?" Ling Qingyan, furious and embarrassed, snapped: "I've explained myself several times already—what more do you want me to prove, Xu Chen?"

Xu Chen paused, wondering—was she telling the truth?

He ventured: "Immortal Miss, what is the most precious thing you possess?"

He meant for her to surrender her most treasured possession.

If she was willing, he would believe her.

If not, she was just lying—why would he believe a damn thing?

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingyan's face flushed slightly: "I can't say that."

Xu Chen bared his teeth: What are you blushing for? What's so embarrassing about it?

It genuinely left him stunned.

He rolled his eyes, speechless: "Clearly you have no sincerity—trying to trick me?"

"Immortal Miss, please don't put me in this position—just leave." Ling Qingyan, humiliated and furious: "You really want me to say it?"

Xu Chen, bewildered: "Why can't you say it? This is bizarre."

You're an old fox—why are you acting so innocent?

Do you think I, Xu Chen, have never seen someone pretending to be pure?

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingyan stomped her jade foot, slightly angry: "The most precious thing my sect possesses? Of course, it is my chastity.

From birth until now, not a single stinky man has ever touched me.

Are you satisfied now? Stinky ruffian, rotten scoundrel, bad person." Xu Chen: "..."

Wait, who could have expected you to say that?

I thought you'd say something like the Lingshi Kuangmai or martial arts.

Then I could've asked you to give it to me—to prove your sincerity, that you're telling the truth!

But you tell me about chastity?

Holy shit, what the hell do I want with that?

If I even entertained such a thought, wouldn't the system warn me?

But since she said that, what else could he do?

He cleared his throat, then said: "Is that so? Then let me kiss you—just one kiss, and I'll believe you."

After all, one kiss wouldn't hurt—he'd have physical proof.

If Ling Qingyan gave it, he'd believe it was real.

If not, well—no need to say anything else.

Everyone around them widened their eyes.

Damn, Xu Chen, you bastard—you shamelessly demand a kiss?

Why don't you just fly to heaven?

If I were the Dustless Fairy, I'd definitely slap you dead with one palm—pah!

Of course, since the Dustless Fairy values her chastity so highly, she's definitely going to kill you next.

With that thought, Luo Qianshang sneered: "Xu Chen, you really are a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger—I admire you."

Di Qiankun's eyes gleamed with mockery: "Xu Chen, after you die, I'll help bury your corpse for you, don't worry." Yang Han said cheerfully: "And even give you a kiss—truly made me laugh, my lord. Look at you, does the fairy even care about you?"

Zhao Wuji burst out laughing: "Xu Chen, are you dreaming? The fairy has never been touched by a man—how could she possibly kiss you!

Hearing you say that, you're basically like an idiot—does your brain have any IQ at all?

Let alone the Dustless Fairy—even if you swapped in any beauty, she probably wouldn't even give you the time of day." The four spoke up, and the crowd also sneered without end.

This kid doesn't even look at who the target is—it's the Dustless Fairy Ling Qingyan, a woman who treats her chastity as her very life!

Want to kiss her—is that even possible? Truly brain-dead.

For a moment, this time it wasn't just the people of Dark Dragon Abyss—even the people of the Empire and the Imperial Dynasty all believed Xu Chen was purely dreaming.

They even all felt that Ling Qingyan was about to violently beat Xu Chen next.

When the time comes, Xu Chen was bound to be utterly miserable.

With that thought, the corners of their mouths curled up.

Xu Chen, oh Xu Chen, this time you've finally eaten your humble pie.

But then, a single sentence from Ling Qingyan left everyone dumbfounded: "Let me kiss you—and there's such a good thing?" The crowd: "..." Xu Chen: "..." Dumbfounded! Hearing those words, Ling Qingyan hasn't also collapsed, has she.

Holy crap! That was truly out of nowhere!
