Chapter 937: Planning to Hand Me Over to This Clan? (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered a few times, and then he looked deeply at the Enchanting Charm woman…

I fear things are not so simple. To save me, and then speak such strange words, clearly, there's another hidden story!

With this thought, Xu Sheng's foot, already in midair, halted, and his voice lightly said, "Madam, are you threatening me?"

But he could not rule out that this woman might indeed make a move without any mercy. With the strength she displayed, she was entirely overwhelming him!

Therefore, he still needed to be cautious!

The Enchanting Charm woman bit her thin lips, blinked her eyes a few times, and still with an icy tone replied, "You can understand it that way."

Initially, she hadn't planned to use this method, but she didn't want to explain too much either!

Xu Sheng seemed to have anticipated something, the corners of his mouth lifting in an arc that was difficult to notice…

Immediately after, his halted step descended once again…

He spoke softly, "Since there's nothing more to say, then Madam, I shall take my leave first."

And with that, he turned unhurriedly, intending to leave this place…

Before he could make any other move…

A sharp "whoosh" sounded as a streak of Spiritual Energy grazed past Xu Sheng's head, lifting strands of hair on his forehead…

The power contained within the Spiritual Energy bore a hole straight through the wall ahead...

The Enchanting Charm woman, with her Beautiful Eyes looking at Xu Sheng's back, bit her tender thin lips and suddenly threatened, "Aren't you afraid of death? If you take one more step, the next Spiritual Energy strike will be on your head!"

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, casually replying, "Since you chose to save me, then you wouldn't kill me without any reason, right?"

If she truly harbored the intent to kill him, there would have been no need for her to act previously!

The Enchanting Charm woman's complexion darkened again as she thought to herself, "This man!!!"

He obviously only had the Cultivation Level of the Earth Immortal Realm. To keep his life, he only needed to obey her command!

But why, even faced with the threat of death, was he not only calm throughout but also able to continuously see through her thoughts!

Even though her Cultivation Level was far higher than his, deep down, she felt completely under the control of this man!

That feeling was not particularly wonderful!

Seeing that forceful speech was ineffective in making him carry out her orders, the woman's Beautiful Eyes flickered a few times...

Then, she took a deep breath, trying to make her tone as gentle as possible, her gaze fixed on Xu Sheng as she began, "I've heard about what you did today, publicly killing dozens of the Earth Immortal Realm ants responsible for guarding the gates!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's face showed no sign of astonishment, continuing to wait for her to continue...

After a pause of a few seconds, the woman went on, "Now, the whole Tianyuan City is searching for you. No matter where you flee, they will be able to pinpoint your location through special means. If caught, endless torture awaits you!"

Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked in an unhurried tone, "So what?"

The woman's Beautiful Eyes hardened, her voice intensified as she said, "So? If you agree to work for me afterward, I guarantee you can live peacefully and unharmed!"

As for keeping Xu Sheng safe, she had the confidence and the ability to do so!

Now Xu Sheng really understood, chuckling lightly, "So, in other words, become a slave at your beck and call?"

He figured he finally grasped the meaning behind her initial words, "I want you"…

The woman gazed intently at Xu Sheng, "That's right! You can think of it that way! I have the strength to protect you, how about it?"

Feeling the urgency and earnestness in the woman's words, Xu Sheng pondered for a long while before replying with a light laugh, "I can help you, but definitely not as a slave, merely to repay the favor from just now."

Being wanted was indeed a bit troublesome; he didn't want to be chased around before he even had the chance to fully understand Central State!

If this woman could solve this problem for him, it would truly be a case of mutual benefit!

He just didn't know what exactly she wanted to use him for...

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the bottom of her heart, although she didn't achieve the result she expected...

She said, "Alright!"

Xu Sheng then extended his hand with a smile and introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself, Xu Sheng, my cultivation level should be at the Seventh Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

Seeing his manner of speaking like he was talking to a friend, a hint of displeasure appeared on the woman's face, but she didn't overthink it and extended her hand to his...

When their palms touched, the cool and smooth sensation from her fingertips caused ripples in Xu Sheng's mind...

The next moment, the woman's ears reddened slightly, and she withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, saying coldly, "You can call me Qingruo! As for my cultivation level, it isn't something you can comprehend right now!"

She silently marveled to herself, "Although he's a man, his skin doesn't fall short of mine at all!"

Xu Sheng was not annoyed, and asked softly, "Then Miss Qingruo, may I know why you saved me and what exactly do I need to help you with now?"

Zhou Qingruo glanced at Xu Sheng with her beautiful eyes and replied coldly, "The time has not come to tell you. If you don't want to be found by those guys, just follow me."

With that, she leapt agilely into the air, using her powerful spiritual power to grant her temporary flight...

As Xu Sheng watched this scene, he narrowed his eyes and mused, "She can already fly; is her true strength beyond the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

He then shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside and quickly sped up to follow Zhou Qingruo, who was almost out of sight!

...

Soon after, Xu Sheng, under Zhou Qingruo's lead, avoided the guards responsible for the boundaries of the Earth Immortal Realm...

Together, they arrived in front of a massive mansion...

Xu Sheng surveyed the mansion and asked curiously, "Where is this?"

"This is Tianyuan City's most influential clan; those responsible for guarding the city gates that you've provoked are all under this family's control."

Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, then with a teasing tone, he said, "Miss Qingruo wouldn't be planning to hand me over to them, would you?"

Zhou Qingruo glanced at him with her emotionless beautiful eyes and said nothing more...

She stated flatly, "Let's go, follow me inside..."

If she wanted to kill Xu Sheng, she wouldn't have needed to bring him here at all!

Xu Sheng pretended to be relaxed as he spread his hands and said, "Alright, Miss Qingruo, if there are Heavenly Immortal Realm experts inside, I'll be counting on you to protect me!"

Perhaps this Zhou Qingruo had some other identity that could command this family as well...

But on second thought, given her reserved nature, the likelihood seemed quite low...
