At this moment, Jiang Xuan stared at Lan Xin’s face, which changed faster than flipping through a book, leaving him dumbfounded.
Just as he suspected, he shouldn’t have harbored any fantasies about Lan Xin.
Her ability to sell out teammates in a pinch was just too skilled.
While Jiang Xuan was still pondering how to deceive Golden Spirit Cloud, he found himself pinned to the wooden couch.
“Xuan, have you thought this through? If you don’t beg me, you won’t get those cultivation resources.
Oh, and that Qilin? I’m going to waste her first, since she had the audacity to touch you in front of me. A little punishment is in order.”
Lan Xin: “???????”
“Please don’t do that… Master, save me! I have burdens, even if I don’t have merits. I’ve been working hard to follow your orders, and that happened because you approved it! You have to explain this!”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
Hearing Lan Xin speak, Jiang Xuan finally gathered his wits and said:
“Little Xin, your performance is putting the Qilin clan to shame. Can you act a bit tougher? You’re always the first to plead for mercy! How embarrassing! At least you are a noble Qilin!”
“Wah wah, Master, it’s easy for you to say. She’s threatening to break my limbs, not yours! You have no idea how it feels to be in my shoes!”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
Just as Lan Xin finished speaking, Golden Spirit Cloud seemed to have an epiphany and shot an unfriendly look at Jiang Xuan.
“Xuan, the little Qilin might have a point. Have you made up your mind? By the way, if you refuse me, I think it’s only fair to break your limbs too.
But don’t worry, I’ll take care of you afterwards.
Let’s just keep you imprisoned in this little wooden cabin…”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
After Golden Spirit Cloud finished her threat, it was Jiang Xuan’s turn to panic.
She was actually using this kind of tactic to blackmail him? Better not provoke him further!
“Lingyun, you can’t think that these… threats will work on me, can you?”
In the corner, Lan Xin saw Jiang Xuan’s reaction and quickly urged him:
“Master, don’t act rashly! A little compromise can lead to a better future! Just hold on a bit…”
“Can’t compromise, Little Xin! Immediately summon the Qilin clan’s ancestors! This Lingyun is way too arrogant and needs a good lesson!”
“Wait a minute… Master, before you say that, can you look at me? I’m all tied up! How can I summon an ancestor? Do you really think if I shout a few times, the ancestors will hear me?”
“Ugh, since you are so kind-hearted and don’t want to summon an ancestor, let’s just drop it.
I think you made some good points earlier.
Fighting and killing are not as good as some friendly communication, don’t you think so, Lady Lingyun?”
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Golden Spirit Cloud, who was pinching his face, looked at him with a teasing grin.
“Have you finally come around when you’re out of options?”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan’s inner thoughts were:
【I can’t confront this at all. Why is Little Xin such a faithful teammate? She can’t even bluff a bit! It’s hopeless.
At this point, I have no choice but to humble myself. I just don’t want to unlock the defeat CG. Those defeat CGs are all painful memories.】
On the surface, Jiang Xuan’s tone became increasingly humble.
“Uh… I was blind before and rejected Lady Lingyun’s affection. I’ve seen the error of my ways now, please… please forgive me…”
While saying this, he didn’t dare to look at Golden Spirit Cloud, trembling slightly and appearing utterly helpless.
Seeing Jiang Xuan like this, Golden Spirit Cloud couldn’t help but recall how he’d looked a million years ago—an icy demeanor, completely uninterested.
Back then, he was the invincible top dog who looked down on her.
Now, he was begging her for forgiveness, reduced to this.
Thinking about this huge contrast filled her with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Her cheeks flushed slightly as she gazed at Jiang Xuan with some dazed affection.
After a while, Golden Spirit Cloud finally continued:
“Who would’ve thought that the once-aloof immortal could become so pathetic? Have you lost all dignity after losing your invincible power?”
“You simply begging for my forgiveness isn’t enough. I want to see your sincerity…”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan silently complained:
【I’m already playing along and doing the whole defeat CG! Judging by her expression, she should be satisfied.
But now she’s asking for more? That’s just too much!】
On the surface, Jiang Xuan could only force a bitter smile and say:
“How much is a weakling’s dignity worth, anyway? Ultimately, reality crushed me. So… Lady Lingyun, what would it take for you to forgive my previous offenses…?”
“You keep begging me! Just comparing your former status to what you are now is already so amusing to me.
You wouldn’t even let me get close before, so aloof and powerful, which really spurred my desire to conquer you.
Come on! Act like you want me to indulge you. Hurry up!”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan felt a slight dilemma.
【This is too much! Actively begging for affection isn’t easy!
Mainly because if she takes it seriously, I might end up… in front of Little Xin…
Ugh, but if I don’t cooperate, Lingyun won’t back down. She looks a little… obsessed right now.】
Just as Jiang Xuan hesitated, Golden Spirit Cloud whispered seductively.
“Xuan, you’re hesitating to beg me. Do you need me to break your limbs before you’ll comply?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!”
Upon hearing that threat, Jiang Xuan hurriedly exclaimed:
“Uh… rejecting Lady Lingyun in the past was all my fault… please, Lady Lingyun, just… grant me a little favor…”
Seeing Jiang Xuan like this, Golden Spirit Cloud’s pupils slightly narrowed, and her delighted expression became even more pronounced as she slowly leaned in closer to Jiang Xuan.
“Since you’re asking me so earnestly, I suppose I should respond properly.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!!”
