Chapter 140 - His Vision Turned Green
This wasn't the agreement!
Fang Xiang shouldn't have been the one raging. Instead, she feigned fear, seeking refuge in Guo Fan's embrace, eliciting sympathy from him and drawing criticism towards Fang Xiang.
She intended to reverse the situation just like that!
How did things end up like this!
Xun Yimu gazed at the approaching Fang Xiang, her expression blank, her heart plunged into a state of bewilderment.
Why wasn't Fang Xiang furious? Instead, she seemed poised to take action against her.
Indeed, most of the attention from Night's Fall Sword City Lord seemed directed at her, not Guo Fan, according to the young girl's observation.
It wasn't envy or malice in her gaze, but… interest?!
What kind of interest could she possibly have?!
And why, why her…
Xun Yimu was thrown into a panicked trance, perplexed by Fang Xiang's aberrant behavior and unsure how to proceed.
As the esteemed Profound Yin Young Lord, having lived in the Profound Yin Family since childhood, she possessed only scant knowledge of matters between men and women.
She had been taught that the family's lessons aimed to shield the females from deception by males in the outside world, imparting them with appropriate knowledge of dual cultivation.
Messy affairs were entirely foreign to her.
Nonetheless, Guo Fan's presence piqued her curiosity. Despite the family's strict regulations, Young Master Ye had managed to acquire some forbidden books from the outside world through the Soul Haunt Ship.
Holding the motherload of wealth from the Soul Haunt Ship granted her leverage.
This syndicate disregarded affiliations and regulations, prioritizing profit above all else.
They spared no expense to secure their gains.
Within the clandestine realms of the Upper Central Realm, certain publications from the Soul Haunt Ship, comprising colorful books and paintings, unveiled a new realm of understanding for the Profound Yin Young Lord.
Her visit was specifically aimed at deciphering these revelations!
However, Xun Yimu, the self-proclaimed “fully enlightened” young scion of the Profound Yin Family, was left dumbfounded.
Fang Xiang smiled and reached out her hand toward the young lady.
“What… what are you intending?” Xun Yimu queried, seeking refuge in Guo Fan's embrace, hoping for protection.
Unfortunately, her sought-after sanctuary was in league with the very individual aiming to torment her.
Guo Fan's countenance subtly observed as Fang Xiang's hand grazed the young lady's waist. A mere touch elicited a startled cry from Xun Yimu, tears welling in her eyes.
How… how could this be…
Fang Xiang clasped the waist of the Profound Yin Young Lord with her hands and leaned in. She examined the slender waist, nearly closing her fingers in astonishment, and remarked with a smile, “Little Yimu, despite your charming figure, such slimness may not befit childbirth ~”
“Stop calling me Little Yimu!” The girl protested, tensing her body and defiantly biting her lip. “What does childbirth have to do with anything? My Profound Yang Bead and I are undoubtedly the most compatible partners in the world!”
Blast it… Despite being closer to Xiaobo now, she couldn't shake the feeling of envy creeping in.
What was the deal with this woman?!
Engaging her directly proved more challenging than she had anticipated.
Resting her chin on the young girl's shoulder, Fang Xiang gazed at Guo Fan with blinking eyes. “I witnessed it myself. After spending just a few hours in Xiaobo's embrace, you were revitalized even more effectively than by consuming the Medicine Pill. Your vitality surged instantly, and even the Spiritual Energy resonance reached synchronization. It's truly admirable.”
Xun Yimu responded stiffly, “Indeed, that's correct.”
The unresolvable bond between her and Xiaobo seemed truly enviable, as expected!
The haughty young girl was about to raise her head in disdain when she suddenly froze, staring blankly at Guo Fan. Had Fang Xiang really placed her in Xiaobo's arms?
Guo Fan sighed helplessly. “So, it was for her treatment… But did you really have to undress her completely?”
The young girl's heart sank even further. Had Fang Xiang gone as far as undressing her too?
Finally releasing her grip, Fang Xiang stood up, crossing her arms over her chest. “I entrusted Profound Yin Young Lord to you in hopes that you would directly care for her. Little did I expect to walk in and find my dear Xiaobo pinned to a chair, looking utterly helpless…”
Absurd! I'm merely at the God Forming Stage. How could I possibly defeat a Void Refining Stage opponent like her?! And even if I could, I couldn't bring myself to do it…
Guo Fan cursed inwardly.
Xun Yimu was utterly stunned. She was astounded to realize that this woman harbored no jealousy at all, despite being able to hold Xiaobo so securely.
Not only was there no jealousy, she even assisted in caring for other women.
The young girl suddenly grasped some understanding. It was indeed this woman who had influenced Xiaobo negatively. Otherwise, how could her beloved Xiaobo have turned out like this… Sun Fen was right. This woman was the primary instigator. She had to defeat her!
However, now, the dignified Void Refining Stage Profound Yin Young Lord trembled. With a blank expression, she nestled into Guo Fan's embrace, her heart filled with fierce oaths.
This cunning woman, she would undoubtedly emerge victorious!
Guo Fan released a long sigh and shifted Xun Yimu, who was riding beside him. He gently touched her head and inquired, “So, what's our next move? Or rather, what do you wish to do?”
Xun Yimu snapped back to reality. Hearing his words, which seemed like a final verdict, she tensed up. Clutching onto his clothing tightly, she bit her lip. “You're mine! You can't leave!”
Guo Fan regarded the girl, on the verge of tears, and reached out to brush them away. Tenderly, he reassured, “I won't leave, but I can't merely be your Xiaobo…”
“What you desire is the Guo Xiaobo who's wholly dedicated to you, and I'm merely a transient passerby… The two are similar, yet different.”
Guo Fan pondered for a moment, sighing inwardly.
“I don't care! If you don't accompany me, then… I'll just stay by your side. It's your fault anyway, for stealing my Profound Yang Bead!”
Xun Yimu gazed at Guo Fan, her hand clasping his cheek, rekindling the spiritual energy between them. With a mix of disappointment and bewilderment, she confessed, “What can I do… I just like you, what else can I do?”
Guo Fan pinched her cheek lightly. “Then there's no need to do anything. Even if you wanted me to leave, I wouldn't. I'll always be by your side. That's why I took the Profound Yang Bead. Would my efforts be in vain otherwise?”
Xun Yimu's cheeks flushed red as she whimpered, “Hmph… Shameless!”
Secretly, however, she felt elated. Hmph, this is what love sounds like!
Sharing tender words!
Her gaze couldn't help but drift to Fang Xiang, but City Lord Fang seemed wholly engrossed in addressing official matters on the other side of the desk.
Young Lord Ye widened his eyes. Indeed, this woman only lost her composure last night because her Achilles' heel was struck. Otherwise, she would have remained as serene as Mount Tai.
Her contemplation was profound! It was quite unnerving…
