Chapter 394: 217, Missing a great opportunity_2
But Mo Xianxian clearly didn’t intend to give him that chance.
Her hands danced nimbly like butterflies.
Seal Gestures rippled like the spring tide, bewildering the mind.
As the Seal Gestures solidified, the illusions created by Xu Yuan shattered under the swash of Spiritual Power.
“So the Formation also possesses the power to dispel delusions!”
Xu Yuan furrowed his brows.
...
If it had only been Mo Xianxian, even though she was endowed with the Eternal Demon Body, he had his own Illusion Technique, self-taught after studying the Illusory Realm. Even if he were not her match, he would not fear her.
But now, in this place, he was restricted by the Formation.
His Illusion Technique, although it could change a thousand times and turn the false into truth, was unable to unfold in this cramped space.
Just as before, even if he possessed the Pillar of Heaven and Sea, but with Mo Xianxian merely bending like a trench, how could he possibly use it?
“You’ve run out of tricks now, haven’t you?”
The corners of Mo Xianxian’s lips curved into a smile that revealed her confidence in victory.
Xu Yuan sat down dejectedly, as if he had given up all struggle.
“You are right. It seems I’ve run out of tricks.”
“It’s not your fault.”
Mo Xianxian smiled gently, her gaze not entirely tender: “It’s because my love for you has overcome you.”
“So you don’t need to feel afraid.”
“...”
Xu Yuan wasn’t in a hurry.
He was like a hunter waiting for the prey to step into a trap, patiently and calmly waiting for the prey to fully enter.
Xu Yuan knew the time had come.
The next moment,
a golden light burst forth from his eyes like thunder and fire.
And this was the Ruyi Gold Lock Rod that Xu Yuan had buried there in his youth.
Now, it had become his best mean for a desperate counterattack.
Originally, he had chosen to bury it there in anticipation of such a possibility.
Xu Yuan looked at the headless corpse before him, yet his expression was very calm.
“A miscalculation. Who would have thought, Mr. Xu, that you would have such a move prepared here.”
A subtle bulge appeared in Mo Xianxian’s throat, her voice tinged with contemplation and surprise, but devoid of any frustration or desperation.
“Does this mean I win?”
Xu Yuan asked her, warily.
“Well, if we must say so, it can be considered a win.”
Spiritual Power spread through her body like filaments, guiding the flesh above the neck to wrap and coil, forming a new head.
She’s a freaking witch...
Xu Yuan was extremely curious as to why he had chosen her more times than he had chosen Jing Lixue initially.
Under the close encouragement of her Jade Foot, the new sprout finally began to regain some of the vigor it had lost.
Mo Xianxian nodded in satisfaction, but the first words that came out of her mouth left him dumbfounded.
“Come on, beg me, let me give you...*
“...”
He looked at her in disbelief, as if he thought he had misheard.
Beg her?
What was she thinking?
With the humiliation from the mishap still fresh, she actually expected him to beseech her?
Did she really think he was so desperate?
Mo Xianxian seemed to have anticipated his reaction and didn’t mind it. She just continued slowly,
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t beg me.”
“But are you really not worried about your wife finding out about all this?”
She looked down at him silently, like a high and mighty empress gazing down at a caged bird.
“What do you mean?”
Xu Yuan heard a possible turning point in her words.
He had assumed that Tian Liuli knowing about this incident was a foregone conclusion, but now it seemed there was still a chance for redemption.
“With the imminent great war between the Human and Demon races, I have no mood for conflicts with her, so as long as you voluntarily agree to join the Holy Sect and serve at my behest, I can act as if nothing happened just now.”
“I can agree to join the Holy Sect, but as for the previous condition...”
“Can’t you hear that those are two conditions?”
Mo Xianxian tilted her head, her clear eyes twinkling with mirth.
At her behest?
Well, it seemed she intended him to work like an ox or horse tilling her fertile fields.
Xu Yuan found himself in a quandary.
In his mind, two thoughts were fiercely battling each other. On one hand, he wanted to come clean about everything here and tell Tian Liuli everything.
But if he did, she would certainly ask why he hadn’t simply left upon sensing danger, given his incapacitated state.
By that point, Tao Tiantian’s situation would necessarily be exposed.
If she found out that Tao Tiantian was the reason behind his disgrace, what would she think?
On the other hand, he felt that he could choose not to tell her about the details of the incident.
Tian Liuli had just begun to trust him, and a glimmer of hope was on the horizon; to come clean now would surely shatter that tentative hope.
But if he stayed silent, he would effectively be at Mo Xianxian’s mercy.
