Chapter 810: Chapter 807: First Encounter with Sun Miaohan
After leaving the dense forest, the woman finally released Xiao Tian’s arm. Once she stood still, she tidied up the loose strands of hair on her snow-white neck and said, "Hello, my name is Sun Miaohan. Thank you for today!"
Xiao Tian casually replied, "You’re welcome, but..."
Then the woman exclaimed in surprise, "Are you saying I should repay you with my body? I’m not ready for it, but, well, you look quite handsome. I might consider it!"
"I meant, your sword at your waist, where did it come from?" Xiao Tian ignored Sun Miaohan’s leaping thought process and asked with a piercing gaze.
"Oh, this." Sun Miaohan removed the sword hanging from her waist and said nonchalantly, "I won it from my junior sister. If you want it, I’ll give it to you. Hmm... let’s make it a token of our affection!"
Sun Miaohan, being exceedingly clever, had already guessed, from Xiao Tian’s demeanor, that he was likely the person who helped Ji Dantong with her design.
And the reason she didn’t intervene when faced with danger was that she had made an agreement with Ji Dantong before leaving the sect. If she didn’t use martial force on this trip, Ji Dantong would give her the Fairy’s Tears she obtained in the future.
Moreover, she would acknowledge Sun Miaohan’s feminine charm and affirm some of her theories!
Conversely, if Sun Miaohan used any True Qi whatsoever, aside from what’s needed to maintain mobility, she would have to give her own Fairy’s Tears and the sword in her hand to Ji Dantong.
Undoubtedly, the wager this time was initiated by Sun Miaohan. She hadn’t expected to encounter the person who moved Ji Dantong’s heart just after arriving at Kunlun Mountain.
Sun Miaohan had no intention of prying into why Xiao Tian was still here, nor did she need to know what had transpired between him and Ji Dantong. As long as she kept him firmly within her grasp, she was confident her junior sister’s expression would be priceless.
Thinking of this, Sun Miaohan suppressed the joy in her heart and said, "So, what do you say? Want to make a token of affection with me?"
As she spoke, she deliberately lowered her neckline, seemingly absentmindedly, and said with captivating eyes and a sweet, sultry voice.
Of course, Sun Miaohan didn’t expect to succeed all at once. In fact, she was probing to see what type of woman Xiao Tian liked so she could adjust accordingly and play the type he liked.
Xiao Tian let out a cold laugh in his heart, looking at the captivating phoenix eyes before him, and said, "Is your junior sister named Ji Dantong?"
With these words, Sun Miaohan became even more convinced of her judgment, and she spoke the truth, saying, "Yes, you’re the one who designed this sword, right? No wonder you’re so outstanding, it’s no surprise my junior sister mentions you all the time!"
Xiao Tian shook his head and chuckled. Sun Miaohan’s words were overly exaggerated. Without even thinking, he knew she was bluffing. Regardless of whether Ji Dantong had any feelings for him, her saying she mentioned him all the time was certainly impossible.
However, since the sword wasn’t snatched from Ji Dantong, Xiao Tian had nothing more to say and simply continued on his way after taking his leave.
...
About ten minutes later, as he was on his way, Xiao Tian suddenly stopped and turned around, saying, "Why have you been following me?"
Sun Miaohan saw that Xiao Tian had finally spoken voluntarily and immediately ran up to him, saying, "This place is unfamiliar to me. I’m just a weak woman who only knows you. Who else would I follow?"
Hearing this self-assured argument, Xiao Tian was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, he finally said, "What are you doing here in an unfamiliar place, and you claim to be a ’weak woman’ when you can go up against Ji Dantong?!"
Sun Miaohan waved her hand: "It’s complicated. I was instructed to come here, and now I can’t use my True Qi."
"So, is that your reason for following me all the time?" Xiao Tian, finding it hard to believe there was a woman with such a personality in the world, replied coldly.
"Oh dear, why do you always have to be so fierce?"
Sun Miaohan waved her hand and said, "Given that you’re my junior sister’s beloved, consider this as me checking you out on her behalf, and if there’s any trouble, I’ll help out. I’ll speak well of you when I return!"
"..." After a long silence, Xiao Tian stepped forward, grabbed Sun Miaohan’s wrist, and noticed her self-imposed blockade on her meridians, his expression changing.
This girl, who had appeared out of nowhere with her bizarre personality and words filled with half-truths, made him suspect her motives.
After a moment, Sun Miaohan sighed helplessly and explained, "Before leaving, I made a bet with my junior sister. If I can complete the task given by the master without using True Qi along the way, she will have to give me something."
Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, then showed a mischievous smile: "You just said you can’t use True Qi for now, right?"
Sun Miaohan’s heart tightened, suddenly feeling something was wrong: "You wouldn’t be thinking of..."
Before she could finish speaking, she realized the grip on her wrist had suddenly loosened, and Xiao Tian’s figure had long vanished without a trace.
Sun Miaohan stood dumbfounded on the spot, taking a long moment to recover—was this what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot?
...
After getting rid of Sun Miaohan, Xiao Tian felt much more at ease. Once he gauged that the time was right, he stood in place, pressing one hand on the Megrez Stone while driving his Perception Power to the fullest, carefully sensing any abnormal fluctuations around.
However, after a while, Xiao Tian finally understood what Lei Tong meant when he said that recently rare treasures have been frequently appearing at Kunlun Mountain.
Within a ten-mile radius around him, there were fluctuations from about six or seven precious artifacts, but it was impossible to pinpoint exactly which one belonged to the Shaking Light Disc.
But that didn’t matter, since there was plenty of time, and he could afford to approach each spot to check them one by one.
The first destination Xiao Tian chose was the closest point to him. Relying on his Perception Power, he started moving slowly towards it.
On the way, he did indeed come across many experts setting up camp nearby, seemingly waiting for the treasures to appear before making their move for them.
However, these individuals weren’t particularly strong, which made Xiao Tian feel slightly relieved. If this place were teeming with experts like Thunder King Salon, the trouble would be immense.
Though he couldn’t rule out the arrival of strong individuals in the future, based on the True Qi fluctuations emanating from the surrounding treasures, he didn’t think it would attract too many experts.
Of course, Xiao Tian was also puzzled as to why a legendary treasure like the Shaking Light Disc emitted such weak energy fluctuations, appearing like an ordinary item.
While walking and keeping an eye out for Melinda’s whereabouts, Xiao Tian was unaware that a large contingent of experts was currently heading towards him, swarming like bees drawn to pollen...

Amid a sea of bamboo, a winding path cut through, giving a feeling of hidden and secluded tranquility as one walked along it.
At the end of the winding path stood a small green hut, adding a touch of serenity.
In a small courtyard enclosed by a fence, two contemporary beauties were sitting opposite each other...
