Chapter 842: Zhao Fengwu Falls for Xu Chen! Xu Chen Enters the Second Trial!

At this moment, Zhao Fengwu had discovered Xu Chen's good points.

For a moment, she actually blushed slightly.

Even as she thought about it more, her heart beat faster.

After all, the Xu Chen before her truly had far too high a talent.

And he was also incomparably handsome, and most importantly, he was a good person.

To save her, he had nearly lost his life.

This last point was what moved her the most.

So she, who had never been in a relationship.

At this moment, toward Xu Chen, had already given rise to a trace of liking in her heart.

She covered her own face, wanting to curb such thoughts.

After all, between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, that was almost impossible.

She had also never seen a person and a demon fall in love.

Especially on this Dalu, when the Human Race and the Demon Clan met, they almost inevitably fought.

After thinking it over, her expression dimmed.

Yes, even if they did fall in love.

There would be no descendants either.

If she was like this, would she end up harming Xu Chen?

Of course, such thoughts, she would soon discard later on.

Because Xu Chen was still coaxing her.

He also told her many stories, about peace between the Human Race and the Demon Clan and such.

Things like Xu Xian and Lady White, things like Fox Demon Matchmaker.

The main point was, people and demons could live together in peace.

In any case, he just made stuff up wildly, saying it was what he had seen on Dalu.

What he wanted, of course, was to continue gaining Zhao Fengwu's favor.

And then hoping to trick more martial arts, Secret Techniques and such out of her.

As expected, afterward Zhao Fengwu was so moved she was a complete mess.

On the spot, she handed her own Secret Technique over to Xu Chen.

After all, Secret Techniques weren't innate, the Demon Clan had them too.

Of course, not all Secret Techniques could Xu Chen learn.

Some required a Demon Clan's physical body, otherwise using them would mean kicking the bucket.

At that time, after Xu Chen saw he had tricked about enough.

He prepared to take his leave, saying they would meet again if fate allowed.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengwu's face darkened, her heart aching with sorrow.

How could she bear to let Xu Chen leave?

So she immediately said: "I, I have no home."

After speaking, she told of her experiences within the Zhao Family.

Xu Chen heard this and secretly thought that wouldn't do.

If you were my wife, then taking you along wouldn't matter.

But this was impossible, a person and demon falling in love, my ass.

He was just saying it casually, and you actually believed it?

He looked at Zhao Fengwu's eyes, full of expectation.

He knew, Zhao Fengwu wanted him to take her in.

He immediately had a face full of awkward pain.

Having tricked so many people, if he tricked one and kept one, then what was even the point of tricking.

He must pass through a hundred flowers without a single petal clinging to him.

He absolutely had to refuse.

After thinking it over, Xu Chen said solemnly:

"Sister, I think you should return to the Zhao Family."

Zhao Fengwu was stunned: "Why?"

Xu Chen said in a coaxing, guiding tone:

"Although your master is of the Human Race, she ultimately saved you.

Some things, you still need to make them clear to her.

And I think since your master could save you, she wouldn't harm you."

Zhao Fengwu nodded: "You're right, my master is indeed a good person."

Xu Chen immediately said:

"Yes, make your identity clear, then express your thoughts.

If I had to guess, if your master cannot accommodate you, she will naturally let you leave.

But if your master doesn't mind, she will certainly let you stay at Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

Zhao Fengwu suddenly understood.

Indeed, that was right.

Given his master's nature, he would never harm her.

So she smiled and said:

"Thank you, Xu Chen brother."

"You've shown me that Humans and demons can coexist in peace."

"I'll do my best not to harm any member of the Human Race from now on."

Xu Chen said:

"Sister, don't keep those evil people around."

"I think saving them might hurt you."

"I'm worried about you—let's save the good ones."

Zhao Fengwu laughed: "You? Have you ever saved an evil person?"

Xu Chen nodded: "I have. Almost died doing it."

He thought to himself: Damn, he'd saved the Female Demon Lord.

Wasn't that almost the end of him?

He felt so bitter inside.

Zhao Fengwu touched Xu Chen's face:

"Promise me, from now on, you'll take care of yourself."

"Whatever you tell me, you must strive to follow through."

Then, in Xu Chen's stunned gaze,

she gently kissed him.

Then, her face flushed red,

she swiftly transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

Xu Chen whistled:

"Good thing this girl is shy—she's a normal woman."

"If she'd been a demoness, I might've been ruined—what a close call!"

Xu Chen stared at the spot where Zhao Fengwu had disappeared.

He felt utterly delighted.

This ending—no messy attachments—was exactly what he wanted.

Ah, scamming the Emperor Dao and running off—so satisfying.

And he'd gained Phoenix Essence Blood out of nowhere, doubling his physical strength.

This stolen opportunity truly brought him joy in body and soul.

Xu Chen grinned broadly.

He had no great destiny, no chance of stumbling upon opportunities.
