Ouyang Fu's words caused a storm to rise in his heart. He transmitted his voice to Xianxian, saying, “Miss, how did you end up here?”
Xianxian replied through sound transmission, “I came in to explore treasures with my friend, but I encountered a great opportunity. With my friend’s help, my cultivation level has improved so rapidly.”
“Oh right, old steward, how is my father doing? Is the nine heavens immortal emperor going to make things difficult for him because of my elopement?”
Ouyang Fu, filled with worry, transmitted back, “Miss, rest assured, the City Lord is currently fine.”
“When the nine heavens immortal emperor descended on the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord had to promise him that within a hundred years, he would find you and marry you to the nine heavens immortal emperor.”
“Now, with the hundred-year agreement, there are still over forty years left. During this period, the nine heavens immortal emperor will not trouble the City Lord.”
“However, when the hundred-year agreement is up and you still have not married the nine heavens immortal emperor, I fear our City Lord's Mansion will face great calamity!”
Upon hearing this, Xianxian pressed her red lips together, fell silent for a moment, and then nodded with determination, transmitting, “Old steward, you return to Skyreach Immortal City and tell my father that I will be back when the hundred-year agreement is due.”
“Even if I have to marry the nine heavens immortal emperor, I can accept it. I will not allow my father or Skyreach Immortal City to suffer because of me.”
“And also, tell my father that it's my fault.”
“I’m leaving now.”
After the transmission, Xianxian turned and walked away.
Ouyang Fu sighed, no longer searching for treasures, and soon disappeared into the dim void, preparing to return to Skyreach Immortal City to inform Ouyang Duantian that the miss was safe!
He knew that Ouyang Duantian had been quite worried about her during the years she was gone...
Moments later, Xianxian floated beside Tan Yun in the air, looking at him with tears welling in her beautiful eyes.
“Girl, what’s wrong?” Tan Yun asked, puzzled.
“It’s… it’s nothing,” Xianxian said, tears streaming down her face. “I’m just a bit tired.”
“Fool, stop crying.” Tan Yun stepped forward in mid-air and wiped the tears from Xianxian's face.
Xianxian gazed at Tan Yun with teary eyes, her heart filled with sadness, “Tan Yun, do you know? In just a few decades, I will have to get married… But I don’t want to marry the nine heavens immortal emperor. The person I admire and like is you…”
“Tan Yun, it seems I am destined not to be with you in this life, but before I leave, I want to stay by your side at all times.”
Having made up her mind, Xianxian smiled through her tears and said, “It’s nothing. I’m just a sentimental person sometimes.”
“When I think about the possibility of us being separated one day, I feel sad.”
Tan Yun rolled his eyes and teased, “Why would we separate when everything is fine?”
“Because I’m afraid you’ll kick me out!” Xianxian chuckled through her tears.
“Kick you out?” Tan Yun shook his head and joked, “With a beauty like you by my side, how many men dream of that? Why would I kick you out?”
“Alright, stop overthinking it. Let’s leave this cursed place as soon as possible!”
“Mm.” Xianxian nodded slightly, her expression worried. “Tan Yun, do you really have a way to leave the Heavenly Confinement Array?”
“Of course.” Tan Yun spoke with arrogance, “With my current strength, no one in the Heavenly Confinement Array is my match. I will wipe out all the minions of the Nine Heavens Immortal Manor and then swagger out of the Heavenly Confinement Array!”
“With over forty years left, spending time with him is merely a blink of an eye. Before leaving, I want to go wild with him one last time.” As Xianxian thought of this, she smiled brightly and said, “Tan Yun, do you know? Before I met you, I was just a good girl.”
