Chapter 2083
"I told you to hold me tighter, but you wouldn't listen. Now you're suffering the consequences, aren't you?" His tone was teasing and playful, as if he were saying, "If only I had known."
Xia Jiuyou waved her hand weakly, her throat still dry heaving. Her rapid breathing and reddened eyes made her look like she was suffering from morning sickness to an unsuspecting person.
After a long while, she finally recovered, stood up abruptly, her eyes blazing with anger, and pounced on Chen Xuan, opening her mouth to bite his arm.
Chen Xuan reacted quickly, reaching out to cover her mouth and feigning fear, saying, "Why has the fairy suddenly fallen ill and tried to harm me?"
"Chen Xuan, you...you bastard! You know I'm still injured and weak, yet you still torment me like this! Uh...wait a minute...uh..." Xia Jiuyou's chest heaved violently with anger. Before she could finish speaking, her stomach churned again, and she clutched her chest, squatting down once more to dry heave.
Having been hunted for many days, her magical power within her Purple Mansion had long since dried up, and she hadn't even eaten. At this moment, all she was vomiting was bitter yellow fluid, making her look extremely miserable.
Above this eternal void, the supreme twin stars of the outside world emit a hazy halo, casting a clear glow.
Looking at Xia Jiuyou, who was completely exhausted, Chen Xuan secretly gave up the idea of traveling overnight—after all, if this "guide" collapsed, he would not be able to find the birthplace of the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold.
"You're so delicate, you don't look like a cultivator at all. I'm impressed." Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, and two golden candle flames suddenly lit up in his eyes. His divine sense spread outwards like a tide, and soon locked onto the towering mountain range in the distance.
Wherever his divine sense swept, he could clearly perceive the powerful roars of demonic beasts and the aura of living beings emanating from the depths of the mountains.
"I'll take you somewhere to rest, and we'll set off again tomorrow." His tone wasn't exactly a suggestion, but more like an announcement. After saying that, he grabbed Xia Jiuyou's wrist and flew towards the mountains.
Those mountains have existed for countless years, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
The towering trees in the mountains are all thousands of feet tall, with lush branches and leaves that block out the sun, shrouding the entire forest in darkness.
The moment their presence entered the forest, it caused the fierce birds and demons to screech, their cries shaking the leaves to the ground.
However, the terrifying pressure emanating from Chen Xuan silenced these demonic beasts instantly.
Sensing that he was not someone to be trifled with, many powerful demons abandoned their lairs and fled in panic, some even leaving behind their chicks and eggs.
Chen Xuan led Xia Jiuyou to a mountain peak and quickly found a place to settle down—a cliffside cave on the edge of a plain on the mountain peak, which looked like an abandoned nest of a giant bird.
The cave entrance was piled with the remains of many huge monsters, and some glossy animal fur was scattered around, giving it a wild and untamed feel.
"Go inside and tidy up. You can rest here tonight. I'll go find some food." Chen Xuan casually gave the order, then his figure transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the star-studded night sky in an instant.
Xia Jiuyou stood there, staring at the cave, which was no more than seven or eight meters deep, her brows furrowed. The cave was small and cramped, barely enough for two people to fit in, offering absolutely no privacy.
"So, I couldn't escape it after all?" She subconsciously touched the storage ring on her finger, a determined glint in her eyes, before she gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "He did it on purpose! He stole my personal immortal abode, and now he's making me clean up this dilapidated cave! Bastard! Despicable man!"
Although she was unwilling, she knew Chen Xuan's temperament well, and if she angered him, she would only suffer more.
"I must survive! As long as I recover my strength and find a chance to escape, I can use this opportunity to cultivate the Holy Scripture to a minor level. At that time, I will repay the humiliation I suffered today tenfold!" The image of trampling Chen Xuan under her feet appeared in her mind, and she suddenly felt stronger. She turned around and went into the cave to pack up.
