Chapter 2080
Xia Jiuyou shrank back, her face turning even paler, her voice trembling: "You... what do you want to do? Chen Xuan, don't go too far, I... I'm not afraid of you!"
"Oh ho, so you're getting tough now? Why didn't you say that when you were barely clinging to life?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, his tone becoming even more serious. "Come here."
Feeling guilty, coupled with the oppressive aura emanating from Chen Xuan, Xia Jiuyou lost the confidence to resist.
She lowered her head, shuffling over slowly, not daring to look up even when she got close, her voice barely audible: "Wh...what is it?"
Even at her peak, she had no confidence against Chen Xuan, even without revealing her ultimate trump card.
Now that her injuries have just healed, she is only one-tenth of her original strength, making her the most vulnerable and easily suppressed and manipulated person. How could she not panic when facing Chen Xuan at this moment?
"What did you summon me for?" Xia Jiuyou asked, her head bowed, her voice carrying an undisguised helplessness. Her eyelids were slightly lowered, and beneath her seemingly calm eyes, a turbulent storm was brewing. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, making her profile appear even paler.
Although Qiu Zixian and Xia Jiuyou are the same person, their temperaments are completely different, like two worlds of ice and fire.
Qiu Zixian possessed a captivating allure that transcended the mundane world; her beauty was mesmerizing, and every move she made exuded a bewitching charm.
Xia Jiuyou is like a snow-covered ice mountain that never melts, surrounded by an aloofness and purity that keeps people at a distance. Ironically, this coldness only fuels one's desire to conquer her.
As the saying goes, prosperity inevitably leads to decline.
In the past, Chen Xuan had always remained calm and composed when he was with the captivating Qiu Zixian.
But now, alone with Xia Jiuyou, an inappropriate thought popped into his mind—what kind of stimulation would it be if this pure and innocent woman revealed such a crazy and exposed state?
Chen Xuan grinned, revealing a roguish smile, and suddenly reached out towards her.
Although Xia Jiuyou's combat strength was greatly reduced and he was unable to dodge, he was able to detect his movements immediately with the divine sense of a Void Realm cultivator.
With a gasp, she instinctively tried to back away, but the difference in their strength was immense. In Chen Xuan's eyes, this weak resistance was no different from an ant trying to shake a tree.
The next second, a cool finger precisely hooked her chin, forcefully lifting her face with an irresistible force, forcing her to meet Chen Xuan's teasing eyes.
Seeing her strong reaction, Chen Xuan's smile deepened, and his tone was somewhat playful: "After all, I helped you kill your enemy and paid a huge price to save your life, didn't I?"
"Hmph, I will definitely repay this favor in the future, and I certainly won't let you do it for nothing." Xia Jiuyou suppressed the panic in her heart, tried her best to remain calm, and met his gaze.
"In the future? I think today is good enough?" Chen Xuan's smile gradually turned wicked, and his tone became meaningful.
Although Xia Jiuyou was aloof and pure, he was also a powerful figure who had explored countless ancient ruins. How could he not hear the implication in those words?
Instantly, her delicate body trembled slightly, her face grew even paler, and her voice trembled noticeably: "You, what do you want?"
"Chen Xuan, I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless, or I...I...I will..." The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't finish them.
If she had not obtained that innate creation elixir, if she had not glimpsed the hope of the Great Dao, she would never have been coerced into this situation, even if it meant mutual destruction.
But now...
Fear, confusion, and resentment intertwined in her heart, leaving her momentarily at a loss as to how to cope.
Chen Xuan saw the struggle in her eyes clearly and thought to himself, if he added fuel to the fire or gave her some sweetness, he might be able to control this woman.
A wicked smile crept across his lips as he slowly spoke, "Logically speaking... shouldn't the fairy repay a life-saving debt with her body afterward?"
"Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than accept this!" Xia Jiuyou's first sentence was resolute, but when she met Chen Xuan's ambiguous gaze, the second half of her sentence softened involuntarily.
