53. Emotional Choice
As Xiao Yan regained consciousness after being pulled back by the alluring Bi Tong, Qing Lin suddenly realized that her entire body had become illusory, and the awakened Xiao Yan obviously could no longer see her.
"Just wait patiently. He can't see you or hear you right now," the Azure-Eyed Enchantress said, leaving no room for refusal.
The alluring beauty with jade-like eyes looked at Xiao Yan, who was glancing around, and said irritably, "Boy, what are you looking at?"
"In response to your question, senior, I have a companion, but I don't know where he is now." Although Xiao Yan didn't know why the beautiful woman in front of him was not very nice to him, he was still very respectful. After all, the pressure she exerted on him was far greater than that of He Kui, the Dou Zun powerhouse.
The alluring beauty with blue eyes said in an indifferent tone, "Is it this little girl?"
Xiao Yan noticed that Qing Lin, whose face was pale and whose aura was weak, had appeared beside him. Xiao Yan quickly went forward to check on her and found that Qing Lin was on her last breath.
"This little girl has had almost all her life essence drained away. If I hadn't intervened to save her, she would probably be dead by now."
Xiao Yan said to the beautiful woman with blue eyes beside him, "Thank you for your help. I humbly request that you, senior, save my friend."
Xiao Yan himself doesn't have a good solution for Qing Lin's situation. Judging from Qing Lin's aura, she can't digest high-grade pills at all. But judging from Bi Tong Mei Sheng's confident tone, she must have a way.
Seeing Xiao Yan's attitude, the nameless anger that had risen in her heart because of Qing Lin's attitude lessened somewhat. She said, "I wanted to save her because I wanted to. I also wanted to take her as my disciple, but I don't have a physical body right now, so I still need your help."
Upon hearing Bi Tong Mei Sheng's words, Xiao Yan noticed that Bi Tong Mei Sheng's eyes were very similar to Qing Lin's, only appearing more mysterious.
"Please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do to help, senior." Knowing that the Jade-Eyed Enchantress could save Qing Lin, Xiao Yan's worries eased.
The real Qinglin stood aside, feeling both warm-hearted and anxious when she saw Xiao Yan's worried expression.
"This little girl has had her life essence drained and needs human life essence to replenish it. As a soul, I cannot create something from nothing. Are you willing to give up half of your life essence?"
"I'm willing!" Xiao Yan answered without the slightest hesitation.
The alluring beauty with jade-like eyes frowned slightly and said, "Boy, you need to know that essence blood is extremely important for cultivation, especially for us humans. Half of your essence blood means that your cultivation will not improve much for at least the next five years. Have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through. Please act immediately, senior. My friend's life depends entirely on you."
Seeing Xiao Yan standing unmoved before her, Bi Tong Mei Sheng flicked her finger, sending a gust of Dou Qi, which Xiao Yan was completely unaware of, flying. The moment she was struck, Xiao Yan felt as if his brain had stopped functioning.
Seeing Xiao Yan's condition, Qing Lin anxiously asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
With a flick of her wrist, the alluring Jade-Eyed Saint sent Xiao Yan flying back to his previous position. Xiao Yan lay on the ground, panting heavily. The Jade-Eyed Saint said, "Boy, are you not convinced?"
"This humble one wouldn't dare, I only beg you to save my friend, senior." Xiao Yan struggled to his feet and still spoke respectfully. He had already known from the oppressive force he felt just a moment ago that if this woman wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as turning her hand. The fact that she hadn't made a move yet meant that it wasn't the worst-case scenario.
"Qinglin is alright now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked surprised and said, "Senior, this..."
Bi Tong Mei Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "I said it's settled, and that means it. She can't see you right now!" Her tone left no room for argument, and Qing Lin, who was barely breathing beside Xiao Yan, also disappeared.
"Thank you, senior!" Although Xiao Yan didn't know what the Jade-Eyed Enchantress in front of him meant, he was quite relieved to know that Qing Lin was alright.
"Xiao Yan, do you know my cultivation level?"
"I don't know, but I once witnessed a Dou Zun expert in action, and he was far inferior to you, senior," Xiao Yan replied truthfully.
He felt that the woman before him was far more terrifying than He Kui, the Fiendish Hand. Moreover, if, as the Jade-Eyed Enchantress herself said, she was merely a soul, then she was probably far stronger than Yao Lao. The terrifying pressure of being completely controlled and unable to even muster the slightest thought of resistance was something Xiao Yan had never encountered before.
The Azure-Eyed Beauty Saint chuckled softly, "A Dou Zun? He can be destroyed with a flick of the finger. In my lifetime, I was only one step away from becoming a Dou Di. There are no more than a handful of people on the continent who can stand on equal footing with me."
Xiao Yan also gasped in shock. Although he had overestimated Bi Tong Mei Sheng's strength as much as possible, he was still greatly shocked.
One step away from becoming a Dou Di, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng!
Such powerful individuals could truly influence the entire continent's situation with their words and actions, and could overturn rivers and seas with a mere gesture.
"Senior, you..." Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment, as the news of the Jade-Eyed Beauty Saint was simply too shocking.
"Why don't you believe me? You have a soul in your ring, right? Probably an alchemist, and the soul is quite condensed. And a strange fire? Red Lotus Karmic Fire, not bad, not bad. Later, Bone Spirit Cold Fire? Sea Heart Flame? You've got guts, how dare you carry so many strange fires on you?"
Xiao Yan felt that he had been stripped naked in front of the Jade-Eyed Beauty Saint, and immediately stopped her, saying, "That's enough, senior, I believe you."
Bi Tong Mei Sheng looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, and Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. This person could see through Yao Lao's existence at a glance, and was definitely not a simple character.
"You brat, how come you're carrying a strange fire and aren't afraid of getting into trouble?" Bi Tong Mei Sheng asked Xiao Yan with some curiosity. This was the only thing about Xiao Yan that she hadn't figured out.
"It's because your technique is special." Xiao Yan knew there was no need to hide anything from this person.
"Oh? Only at the Earth Rank? Why is your battle aura like this later..."
Seeing Xiao Yan's panic, Bi Tong Mei Sheng stopped her curious gaze and said teasingly, "Alright, alright, I'll leave you a secret."
With that, the alluring Jade-Eyed Saint floated in front of Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, you know I really don't like you, right?"
Xiao Yan bowed and said, "I don't know what I did to offend you, senior. Please speak freely."
Looking at the respectful Xiao Yan, the Azure-Eyed Beauty Saint said domineeringly, "To be honest, I chose Qing Lin as my disciple, but that girl's heart is entirely focused on you. You now have two choices: first, swear to be devoted to Qing Lin for the rest of your life."
The words of the Jade-Eyed Beauty Saint were quite informative, and Xiao Yan subconsciously prepared to politely decline when he thought of Xiao Xun'er.
Before Xiao Yan could speak, the Jade-Eyed Enchantress continued, "Don't rush to refuse. The second option is, if you don't want to be with Qing Lin..."
The alluring, jade-eyed beauty's voice rang out, devoid of any emotion: "Then die!"
