Chapter 366 -312: Ancient Verdant Wood, Xiang Xian’s Hostility

“Now, let’s go give them a little scare!”

A sinister smile touched Xiang Xian’s lips.

“He’s coming over!”

Xu Chang’an’s expression darkened.

“Should we make a move?”

Chu Xianyi, at his side, also saw Xiang Xian rapidly approaching. Her face remained as tranquil as ever, showing no trace of alarm.

“We meet again, beautiful Fairy!”

Xiang Xian’s figure appeared before Chu Xianyi, and he gave a respectful, courteous bow.

“Fate is a wondrous thing, isn’t it? To think I’d see you again here, Fairy!”

Chu Xianyi ignored Xiang Xian’s solicitous advances and turned to Xu Chang’an.

“The mission is starting. Let’s go.”

Xu Chang’an nodded.

Many of the surrounding Demon Fiends had already started moving.

Most were forming groups of two and three.

SWISH! SWISH!

Chu Xianyi and Xu Chang’an erupted in brilliant light and flew toward the Ancient Verdant Wood.

“Stop!”

In that instant, Xiang Xian burst forth with terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, he blocked Chu Xianyi and Xu Chang’an’s path.

Chu Xianyi watched Xiang Xian coldly.

A gentle smile hung on Xu Chang’an’s face.

“Senior, is there something you need?”

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi’s reactions were completely contrary to Xiang Xian’s expectations.

He had come over specifically to intimidate them.

He thought they would be terrified to see him outside Demon City.

But now…

“Junior, I’ve taken a fancy to your Dao Companion! If you know what’s good for you, step aside. You might even get to keep your life!”

Xiang Xian dropped the act and got straight to the point.

The Demon Path is cruel, and the strong are revered!

Here in the Cyan Wood World, he was the one who called the shots.

The only reason he hadn’t attacked yet was because he was considering the Demon Fiend mission.

“My Dao Companion and I are in love. I ask that Senior be merciful!”

Xu Chang’an clasped his fist in a salute.

‘But inside, he was calculating whether he should strike now!’

‘If he and Chu Xianyi joined forces and launched a surprise attack, there was a high probability this Shangyang-level Demon Fiend before them would die without a burial site!’

Xu Chang’an’s posture only served to bolster Xiang Xian’s confidence.

“What does your love have to do with me?!”

He had already judged that the Fairy before him was extremely proud, but the young man was incomparably weak.

Whether the young man retreated or not, the weaker he appeared under his verbal assault, the more it would hurt the beautiful lady’s feelings.

How could a proud Fairy like her tolerate having a coward for a Dao Companion!

“I won’t make things difficult for you. If you’re willing to leave, I’ll give you ten thousand Spirit Crystals!”

Despite his words, Xiang Xian had already made up his mind.

‘After the mission ends, I won’t let either the Fairy or this boy go!’

‘Then, the Fairy will be mine, and I’ll beat the boy to death.’

‘The Spirit Crystals I’m paying out now will end up being mine again anyway.’

“Senior, are you serious about that offer?”

Xu Chang’an’s eyes lit up!

“Of course it’s true! As long as you leave, I’ll hand over the ten thousand Spirit Crystals immediately!”

Xiang Xian hadn’t expected the boy to actually be tempted by his casual offer!

He glanced at the peerlessly beautiful, cold-tempered woman in palace attire beside him.

He couldn’t understand what a beauty like her saw in this boy!

‘Perhaps in the mortal world, there were no stunningly talented Demons, so this kid got to her first!’

“The bond between my Dao Companion and I is stronger than gold! Senior’s offer of ten thousand Spirit Crystals is not enough!

If Senior can give me two Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures, although my heart would be unwilling, I’ll have nothing more to say and will leave at once!”

Xu Chang’an said with a beaming smile, looking extremely tempted.

‘Two Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures!?’

As a Shangyang-level Demon Fiend, Xiang Xian naturally possessed more than one Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

He could certainly produce two of them!

However…

The Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures he carried had all been refined and Nurtured for many years and were perfectly attuned to him!

Right now, the Demon Fiend mission was at hand!

If he rashly gave away two Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures, his combat power would undoubtedly be greatly diminished.

‘Even if I’m just lending them to this kid, such a move would be extremely unwise!’

“Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures, I have them, of course. But with the Demon Fiend mission ahead, I can’t give them to you! How about this: I’ll give you twenty thousand Spirit Crystals, and you leave the Fairy immediately!”

Xiang Xian said to Xu Chang’an after some thought.

“You’re not giving them? Oh, then forget it!”

Xu Chang’an’s attitude changed abruptly, the smile vanishing from his face.

“Xianyi, let’s go!”

As he spoke, Xu Chang’an transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the horizon.

Chu Xianyi, at his side, didn’t hesitate either, transforming into a seven-colored radiance and immediately following.

‘What’s going on?!’

‘We were just having a perfectly fine negotiation, and now he suddenly pulls a 180.’

Watching the two streaks of light in the sky, Xiang Xian pondered for a moment but ultimately didn’t try to stop them again.

‘I’ll finish the Demon Fiend mission first! Once the mission is done, won’t that boy and the Fairy be at my mercy?!’

‘For now, I’ll stir up some trouble for them!’

“Fairy, did you see your Dao Companion’s true colors?! If I had taken out two Spiritual Treasures today, he would have sold you out!”

Xiang Xian transmitted the message with his Demon Sense, sending it accurately toward the seven-colored radiance.

‘Hmph, hmph. You’re still too green to fight against me!’

A treacherous expression appeared on Xiang Xian’s face, as if he were already watching their relationship fall apart.

“He is my Dao Companion. Whatever he does, I have no complaints!”

A cold voice transmitted back, and the expression on Xiang Xian’s face froze.

‘This…’
