"You men are all so greedy."
Speaking with a smile, Xifeng asked, "What do you want? Riches or treasures?"
Shaking his head while clicking his tongue, Jian Shen moved closer to Xifeng while saying, "I'm not really a materialistic person so riches and treasures won't be enough to make me work for you."
"Fine. Just tell me what you want."
Moving even closer to Xifeng, Jian Shen who wanted a change from Meirong decided to be as straightforward as possible.
Spreading his hands forward and wrapping them around Xifeng's soft and slim waist, Jian Shen said, "You."
Blushing furiously from hearing that, Xifeng couldn't help it as her body started to turn hot and began fidgeting inside his embrace.
"I... You shouldn't do this... I'm... "
"Nooooooooo!"
Screaming loudly and interrupting Xifeng who looked like she was about to say something important, Meirong who had escaped both of their senses flew down and said, "How could you do this honey?! You chose to cheat on me so soon? I can't believe this!!!"
Cheat on you? I...
Unable to even think properly because Meirong really looked like she was deeply hurt with tears brimming in her eyes, Jian Shen couldn't understand what he did to make her love him so much.
They didn't even share that many good memories together.
"I.... I won't forget about this!!"
Screaming loudly and turning around, Meirong who couldn't believe what was happening in front of her flew away as quickly as possible.
"Wait... "
"Meirong... "
Not listening to her friend or Jian Shen, Meirong who was flying away made up her mind that she would take her honey back at all costs.
She'd become so strong and look so beautiful that Jian Shen would only have her off his mind and not bother with any other woman!
...
"Sigh.... Everything these days seems so troublesome."
"If you just stopped trying to seduce every woman you see, your life would be so much more simple husband."
Shaking his head at how that was something impossible for someone like him to achieve, Jian Shen who was back in his courtyard after awkwardly leaving Xifeng began thinking that he should focus on just cultivation for now.
As for finding Meirong, that would be near impossible if she really was trying her best to stay hidden.
"Don't worry too much Jian Shen. You've already offsetted her bad luck and she is strong enough to keep herself safe. You should just think about what you will do when you meet her again."
Listening to what Qingyu said Jian Shen remembered that he should definitely find her before it was time to offset her bad luck again.
If he failed to do so she'd end up with more bad luck than usual due to all her bad luck which he had offset being accumulated.
Feeling a headache coming up from thinking all of this, Jian Shen realized that he didn't even know how to face Meirong.
Given the way she was behaving, would it even be possible for him to have a civilized conversation with her?
Ahhhhhh!
Groaning from just the thought of this Jian Shen was just about to start thinking if he should seriously consider Juewang's suggestion when Qingyu suddenly started speaking.
"You don't have to worry about her too much, Jian Shen. She is just like Juewang was to you in your past life."
"Like Juewang?"
Blushing a little from having seen how Meirong behaved and realizing that this was how she looked to Jian Shen in his past life, Juewang said, "Yes. I was just like she was. In fact, I was worse than her. I can't remember how many times I tried to kill this Qingyu after learning you were interested in her."
Feeling cold sweat cover his back from imagining blood-covered Juewang and Meirong teaming up to hunt all the women he was interested in, Jian Shen quickly shook his head to get rid of such thoughts.
Since the two swords had gone far enough to say that Meirong was similar to Juewang, Jian Shen no longer felt too worried about her and felt like he could focus on just cultivating for now.
His battle with Xu Long had been arranged to happen not too long in the future due to which he needed to focus on cultivating his Middle Dantian for now.
After all, while his soul was very strong due to having fused with the Myriad Sword God and the Sword of Despair, it wasn't strong enough to withstand attacks from truly strong cultivators.
His soul might have been strong enough to withstand Xu Long's attacks on that day, but given how eager and determined he looked to marry Lei Luli it was impossible that he wouldn't make any advancements in his cultivation before the day of the fight.
So, considering how strong his soul already is, Jian Shen needed to at least form a Nascent Soul if he wanted to stand a chance against Xu Long who was in the Fate Weapon Realm when he last met him.
...
"Ahhhh, honey.... Even if I can't stay beside you... I'll never let you out of my eyes."
Slowly pushing the dagger in her hand which was placed on the captured man's chest so that it would pierce his heart, Meirong who killed the second assassin today started harbouring hatred for the one who was sending these people to kill Jian Shen.
