Chapter 556: Xi Wangmu Acts Coquettish

~4 min read 725 words

"Xu-lang, the 'following' this one speaks of is not becoming your servant. What this one means is, to become your Dao Companion, to become your woman." The moment these two sentences came out, everyone was instantly and thoroughly dumbfounded.

Holy shit! They had just been thinking that at most Wangmu Fenshen wanted to become a servant.

Although that was already absurd enough, compared to wanting to become Xu Chen's woman—

That kind of absurd didn't even count as absurd.

Now these two sentences are the real absurdity!

Absurd taken to the absolute extreme.

For a moment, everyone's mouth hung slightly open.

Staring at Xiwangmu Fenshen, they didn't know what to say.

Xu Chen's mouth corner twitched wildly too.

Damn it, he had originally thought this time would be a bit more peaceful.

And then next, he figured he could leave here right away.

As it turned out, the facts proved he was still overthinking it.

This Xiwangmu Fenshen had also collapsed completely.

He couldn't comprehend it, but was greatly shaken. He bared his teeth and said: "Um, respected Wangmu, did you perhaps misspeak? Like, you were just talking nonsense earlier?"

Everyone nodded, yes yes yes, definitely misspoke.

A scumbag like Xu the thief, how could you possibly like him?

You should be considering us instead.

Unexpectedly, Xiwangmu Fenshen said with absolute firmness: "No, this one truly likes you." While speaking, her words were resolute and clear.

She stared fixedly at Xu Chen, as if saying, you are her man. Everyone: "..." Xu Chen: "............" Numb, completely numb. Just now she was still saying she'd beat him up.

This change of heart really happened way too fast.

Xi Wangmu at this moment looked at Xu Chen, her gaze slightly complex.

If not for how harshly she had treated Xu Chen in the previous life, the guilt she harbored was too great.

In this life, why would she need to be so fierce toward Xu Chen?

Without laying the groundwork with some fierceness, Xu Chen might not have agreed to take her along just now.

In the previous life, when she captured Xu Chen, she used the Immortal Bloodline to frantically boost her strength.

The two of them also stayed together for quite a while, a few months it seemed.

In any case, Xu Chen was very clear on everything about her, even her birthmarks.

Where did she truly begin to like Xu Chen?

In the previous life, there was a time when she was cultivating.

But a Demon Emperor had come over to Tianchi.

The Demon Emperor saw her circulating her Cultivation Method, unable to move.

Naturally overjoyed, he immediately moved to strike.

Logically speaking, at such a time, as long as Xu Chen didn't act, even if she didn't die, she would be gravely injured.

Of course, she still had means to counter-kill.

After all, a dignified Wangmu Fenshen couldn't possibly be without any precautions.

It was just that if Xu Chen didn't act, she would suffer heavy losses, even damage to her foundation.

But at that time, Xu Chen acted.

The Xu Chen of that time was not yet as powerful as that Demon Emperor.

So he was being slaughtered the entire time.

Yes, slaughtered.

It was solely by relying on the Immortal Bloodline that Xu Chen survived again and again.

But each time he survived, his body grew another degree weaker.

She remembered very clearly from that time, Xu Chen was killed ninety-nine times.

He held off that Demon Emperor for a full quarter-hour.

But it was precisely this precious time that allowed her to complete one full cycle of her Cultivation Method.

The moment she opened her eyes, she directly slew that Demon Emperor, annihilating his Divine Soul completely. Afterwards, she heard Xu Chen, whose face wore a bitter smile, say: "You're awake?" After speaking, Xu Chen could no longer hold on, and then collapsed and fell asleep on the ground.

It was from that very moment that she began to fall for this man.

There was no reason.

Falling for someone needs no reason.

She even felt this wasn't mere liking, it should be love.

In her heart, she secretly swore a Heavenly Dao Oath that she must protect Xu Chen.

She felt Xu Chen must have been thinking the same.

But later she discovered she was wrong—Xu Chen had escaped.
