When did my luck with romance become so strong?

The Original Owner isn't dead?!

After ending the communication with Ji Chan'er, Qi Yuan frowned, his eyes revealing a look of deep astonishment.

At the same time, relying on his extraordinary memory, he quickly recalled the scene outside Azure Cloud Town.

To be safe, he had even deliberately used his Divine Sense to carefully investigate, confirming that there was indeed a corpse of similar age to himself lying in the tomb.

At that time, the corpse was completely cold, and there was absolutely no possibility of reanimation or suspended animation.

But now, another "Qi Yuan" suddenly appeared, and even traveled thousands of miles to Liyuan Holy Land. No matter how he looked at it, it reeked of a conspiracy.

Could it be... that some evil Cultivator was interested in Qin Lingxue, used dark arts to manipulate the Original Owner's corpse, trying to impersonate him and scheme against Qin Lingxue, the Young Sword Master of Liyuan Holy Land?

But he quickly dismissed this thought.

The "Original Owner's" purpose in going to Liyuan Holy Land was to break off the engagement, not to make his fiancée Qin Lingxue fulfill the marriage contract. If the goal was to target Qin Lingxue, this action would be illogical.

Moreover, what kind of place was Liyuan Holy Land? How could it be deceived and misled by a corpse refined into a Puppet, easily believing an imposter's words!

Even the most sophisticated corpse-controlling technique couldn't be without flaws.

Interesting!

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's lips curled into a playful smile, and he muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Now it seems that the destruction of the Qi family is not as simple as it appears on the surface. No wonder the dog system set the mission difficulty to five stars; it's indeed sinister."

"However, sinister as it may be, this idiotic System, though absurd, wouldn't issue a death mission, for example, making a good-for-nothing like himself, who has just reached Foundation Establishment, seek revenge on some high-level Cultivator."

"This proves that the mastermind's cultivation won't be very high; it's just that their methods are quite special."

Qi Yuan squinted and pondered for a moment, quickly making a decision.

After tomorrow's celebration, he would personally go to Liyuan Holy Land to meet that "resurrected" Original Owner and complete the main quest... Just then, a gentle female voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, are you inside?"

She's not here to settle scores with me, is she?

Qi Yuan was startled, but he still composed himself, got up directly, opened the door, and asked with a smile:

"Fairy Xiao, may I ask what the matter is?"

He saw Linglong Saintess Xiao Yueni had specially changed into a modest light purple ruqun. Her face, which could make flowers speak, was unadorned, yet she was still charming and moving, like a budding hibiscus flower.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can we go inside to talk?"

Xiao Yueni lightly pressed her lips together, her tone carrying a hint of shyness and a few uncontrollable traces of nervousness.

It was late at night, and she had run alone to a man's residence. If others saw them, the rumors would undoubtedly be outrageous.

She knew her own situation: Linglong Holy Land was full of female Disciples, and if they started gossiping, just thinking about it was terrifying... So, she had deliberately avoided the gazes of others and quietly snuck into Sunset Glow Courtyard this time.

"Alright." Qi Yuan immediately nodded, then made a gesture of invitation. "Fairy Xiao, please come in."

Xiao Yueni's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded gently and walked into the room with a hint of awkwardness, not forgetting to tightly close the door after entering.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow, feeling a little puzzled, and took the initiative to speak:

"Fairy Xiao, I am very sorry for the accident that happened today..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Yueni shook her head and said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, there's no need to dwell on it. You were also affected by the illusion star fruit, which caused you to sink into the illusionary realm and make some unconscious actions."

"Since everything was not out of your own will, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

Seeing the Linglong Saintess being so understanding, Qi Yuan felt a bit at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond and could only say perfunctorily:

"Fairy Xiao is magnanimous; This Qi admires you."

Then, he honestly stared blankly at the teacup in his hand.

For some reason, after riding the Mythical Beast, the Qi and blood in his body were extremely vigorous, like he had taken too much tonic. Facing the enchanting Linglong Saintess, he couldn't help but want to make a mistake.

To avoid making a fool of himself on the spot, he could only choose to distract himself, hoping that she would leave quickly after finishing her business so he could slightly regulate his Qi and blood... Seeing that the other party was a bit distracted in front of her, Xiao Yueni couldn't help but bite her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, were the words you said in front of Grandmaster truly heartfelt?"

Although she still bore a more important mission, if she didn't clarify this question first, her heart would never be at peace. If this continued, even her Dao Heart might develop problems.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan quickly nodded, stating unequivocally:

"Of course, This Qi is trustworthy and has never lied. Fairy Xiao is beautiful and kind-hearted, with unparalleled grace, truly the best Dao Companion candidate in the world!"

As he spoke, he silently added the words "one of" in his heart.

Hearing these words, a hint of emotion flashed in Xiao Yueni's eyes, and she said softly:

"You and I are both favored children of heaven, with great hopes placed upon us by our respective Sects. Love between a man and a woman is but a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water; how can it last long?"

"If you truly like me, it would be better to focus on cultivation, to encourage each other on our future Dao path, and together seek immortality. As for other matters, it's best to set them aside for now."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked at Qi Yuan with an expectant expression.

What?

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and his expression also became strange.

He was no longer the innocent young man he once was and naturally understood the implied meaning in her words.

The Linglong Saintess's words seemed to be a rejection, but even a fool could hear the complex emotions within.

She was clearly hinting that he shouldn't neglect his cultivation because of this, and that it would be wonderful if they could both happily achieve immortality together in the future!

No way... He and the Linglong Saintess hadn't even spent a full day together, and it had already developed to this extent?

When did my luck with women become so strong?

While he was lost in thought, Xiao Yueni took a deep breath and asked nervously:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, what is your relationship with Ancestor Fei Huang, and why is she so special to you?"

Her slender and graceful waist leaned forward slightly, gently resting against Qi Yuan's shoulder, and she said in a soft, continuous voice:

"Ancestor Fei Huang's position in our Linglong Holy Land is unique. The other three Grandmasters have all received favors from Ancestor Fei Huang and respect her greatly, obeying her every word."

"It can be said that Ancestor Fei Huang's existence is the pillar of Linglong Holy Land's continued existence. This matter is crucial to us; I hope you can tell me the truth."

As she spoke, Xiao Yueni's pair of clear, watery eyes stared intently at Qi Yuan, as if to see through him completely.

Strands of body fragrance wafted into his nostrils, instantly stiffening a certain someone...
