Chapter 257: Xue'er, Marry Me!_2

Qian Renxue, moved by the words, felt tears unconsciously slide down her cheeks.

She felt that all the years of waiting were worth it.

She slightly lifted her head, her tear-filled eyes looking at Qin Xiao, and softly whispered two words, "Kiss me..."

Qin Xiao's gaze became intense, as he looked into Qian Renxue's sincere eyes, his breathing quickening.

Qian Renxue felt the hot breath on her cheeks, her lips gently pursed, her eyes full of desire.

Overcome with emotion, Qin Xiao no longer controlled his feelings, bent down to lift Qian Renxue in his arms, and walked towards the room.

...

After a bout of passion.

Qin Xiao lay on the bed, with Qian Renxue nestled in the crook of his arm.

At this moment, Qin Xiao's heart surged with pleasure, having plucked an unopened Snow Lotus atop an ice mountain, he could only describe the feeling with one word: exhilarating!

"How long will you stay this time?"

Having not seen each other for three years, Qian Renxue wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"I will stay for a very long time. I won't leave again this time. I've missed out on too much these three years, and I need to make up for it properly."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao slightly tightened his hold.

Suddenly, the woman in his arms exclaimed, "Mm... you bad boy... I think you're not really interested in making up to anyone, you're just full of naughty ideas."

"Xue'er, marry me..."

"What did you say?"

"I said marry me, and we'll have the wedding in seven days."

"Isn't that rather sudden?" Qian Renxue was stunned.

"Not sudden. I had already made up my mind before coming here. And I know for sure you will marry me!"

"Why are you so certain?"

"Don't ask! It's because I'm confident!"

...

Two days later.

Qin Xiao entered deep into the Aquipeia Forest.

"In the past, the soul beasts in the depths of the Aquipeia Forest reigned over their own territories. Now, they roam in groups of three and pairs of two."

His powerful divine sense spread out, and every rustle of the grass and wind could not escape Qin Xiao's perception, let alone the type of soul beasts around.

Suddenly, a familiar aura broke into the range of his divine sense.

Qin Xiao suddenly smiled, "Azure Oxpython? This fellow's perception is quite sharp..."

After a thought, he simply stopped in his tracks and stood still.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Before long, such sounds came from the dense forest, and then the enormous head of the Azure Oxpython peeked out, followed by its body that stretched dozens of meters, fully revealing itself before Qin Xiao.

"Hahaha, Qin Xiao, oh Qin Xiao, it's like you've bypassed the road to heaven and broken into hell instead. Who gave you the courage to dare to enter deep into the Aquipeia Forest now?"

After recognizing Qin Xiao, the Azure Oxpython couldn't help but laugh heartily.

It had been wondering how to enter the human world to seek revenge against Qin Xiao.

And now, here he was.

Of course, while it desired revenge, it wasn't foolish enough to attack Qin Xiao directly.

Because it was well aware that even though its cultivation level had increased considerably, it was still far from being a match for Qin Xiao in a test of strength.

But, let's not forget that it had support!

Just a moment ago, it had used the unique communication method of soul beasts to alert Di Tian, informing him of the formidable enemy's arrival!

The Azure Oxpython was convinced that once Di Tian arrived, it would be the end for Qin Xiao.

No.

He couldn't kill Qin Xiao directly because Xiaowu was still in Qin Xiao's hands.

"Is there anything special about this Aquipeia Forest? Do I need someone else to give me courage to come here as I please?"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, asking puzzledly, "Or do you think you pose any threat to me?"

His words were tinged with undisguised contempt.

"You!" The Azure Oxpython was infuriated.

Yet it didn't dare to attack Qin Xiao directly.

"Has it been so long since I've appeared that humans have forgotten how terrifying soul beasts can be? Are there still those who dare to utter such bold words within the Aquipeia Forest and threaten the Soul Beast Overlord?"

Right at that moment, a chilling voice sounded.

Qin Xiao's gaze shifted from the body of the Azure Oxpython and followed the sound to a man in a black robe, striding away.

Notably, his pupils were a dark gold.

Qin Xiao's eyes glittered as he instantly discerned the man's true identity.

It was a massive Black Dragon, fearsome and terrifying.

"Lord Di Tian, this is the human who killed the Titan Ape and forced Xiaowu to sacrifice herself!"

Upon seeing Di Tian, the Azure Oxpython appeared to have found its pillar of strength.

"Oh?" Di Tian murmured, slightly startled upon hearing this.

He had received the Azure Oxpython's message that a human intruder had come, but he did not expect it to be the man who shared the Thunder Emperor's name.

"Enemies often cross paths, and here you are, delivering yourself to death without waiting for us to come to you. This is good, I see your strength is not bad, so let's use you as a warning to others – to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to give humans a warning."

Having said that, Di Tian launched his attack without any hesitation.

He stomped his foot heavily, turning into a shadowy blur that was akin to teleporting, appearing right in front of Qin Xiao.

His right hand, now covered in scale armor with clawed fingertips as sharp as knife blades, viciously clawed towards Qin Xiao's chest.

He was confident that the man before him would certainly be pierced through!

"As expected, Lord Di Tian's strength is unparalleled; even that youngster Qin Xiao, known for his speed, couldn't dodge in time."

The Azure Oxpython seemed to have already envisioned the scene where Qin Xiao was splattered with blood.

But the next moment, what happened shattered his fantasy.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of Qin Xiao. Di Tian's hand was only one centimeter away from Qin Xiao's body, unable to advance further.

"This..."

The Azure Oxpython's face was full of confusion.

The disparity between reality and his imagination was truly too vast.

Di Tian gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead from exertion.

His left hand also pressed down on his right, going all out, trying to pierce through the barrier in front of Qin Xiao.

"I refuse to believe that with my 900,000 years of Cultivation Level, I cannot even harm you?"

At that moment, Di Tian squeezed out a cold voice through his clenched teeth.

Crack!

As his voice fell, a crisp sound rang out.

However, it was not the barrier in front of Qin Xiao that had been broken, but Di Tian's hand that was fractured by Qin Xiao.

"Ah..."

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, Di Tian's right forearm was oddly bent, the tip of his dragon claw hanging limply.

Qin Xiao withdrew his hand, nonchalantly wiping it on his sleeve as he shook his head in disdain, "With such strength, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?"

"You are too presumptuous!"

Di Tian roared furiously as the Soul Power within his body surged wildly, erupting like a volcanic eruption.

His pupils no longer showed any gold, overtaken by dense, angry red threads, indicating just how crazed Di Tian was at the moment.

"You think you can shout and scream in front of me?"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and kicked out, landing solidly on Di Tian's chest.

Immediately afterward, Di Tian felt an unstoppable force explode at his chest, sending his body uncontrollably hurtling backward.

His retreat was exceedingly ungraceful.

Di Tian's body scraped the ground, carving deep trenches as he went, crushing every tree in his path to dust. He slid back a full hundred meters before he managed to stop his retreat.

"Cough, cough, cough."

He lay spread-eagled on the ground, coughing weakly. Several ribs in his chest were shattered by the kick, leaving an impression of a footprint.

Only then did the Azure Oxpython come back to its senses, "Lord Di Tian, he has actually been defeated in an instant... "

This was too surreal!

Tap, tap, tap.

As the sound of footsteps reached his ears, Di Tian watched helplessly as Qin Xiao slowly approached and placed a foot firmly on his chest.

"Hiss..."

The already grievous wound was assaulted again, causing Di Tian to grimace in pain.

But at least he had his pride; clenching his teeth and drawing in a cold breath, he did not scream out in agony.

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "Why bother, why go to such lengths? I came here with sincere intentions to negotiate with you, yet it has come to this."

"Your rash actions will make it difficult for your lord."

"You... you're full of shit!" Di Tian could tolerate insults to himself, but when Qin Xiao mentioned his lord, he could not bear it. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, his voice filled with inner fury, he said, "Defeating me counts for nothing; in the face of our lord, your strength is nothing more than a slightly larger ant..."
