After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 301 – 301 Playing Hard to Get

301 Playing Hard to Get

Wei Feiyan had never expected to see Liu Yuan in such a situation.

Her mind was almost blank, and her heart collapsed and wailed. Even the Green Cliff Elder, who was the best at divination, would not have expected such a bizarre thing to happen!

Wasn't this person rumored to have turned into a demon? Wasn't he severely injured by the elder sent by the Jade Mirage Sect? Didn't he disappear with fairy Ling Hua?

Shouldn't he be pathetically trying to hide and kill her, and then, just like she imagined, struggling and spinning in the face of the turbulence of fate?

How could such a strange thing happen? Why would he suddenly appear in the Mythical Flame Sect? What was even more terrifying was that he had appeared in her room while she was taking a medicinal bath?

Could it be…

It was just as the junior sisters thought… In fact, he was a daring pervert?

Those women were not truly in love with him, but were forced to keep quiet, or they were toyed with by him until they couldn't get away… Even that fairy Ling Hua is like this? But why, why was it her this time?

Wei Feiyan's eyes were tightly closed, and her thoughts were a mess. She clutched the edge of the wooden barrel tightly, and her fingers turned white. Her whole body was stiff, and she was full of confusion, anxiety, and fear. In the end, all of it turned into stubbornness that she clenched her teeth tightly.

Liu Yuan's expression was complicated.

A man and a woman alone, with no one around, in addition to the keywords such as bathing and being unable to move.

This scene was exactly the same as a pervert coming to the door…

However, at least she had given up resisting as expected. Was that a good thing?

He felt that Wei Feiyan probably would not listen to anything he said in a short period of time. She probably thought that he was trying to bewitch her with words and affect her emotional stability. He looked left and right, then went to the front of the screen, pulled a chair over, and sat down next to the bath barrel.

Wei Feiyan clenched her teeth and waited for about a minute in a panic. Her body gradually became stiff and she was a little surprised.

W-why is there no sound?

As soon as she had this thought, her blank mind came back to life. She realized that there was no other sound except for the rippling water, the rustling of the Sycamore leaves outside, and her rapid breathing.

He left?

Wei Feiyan was stunned and then pursed her lips nervously. After waiting for about the time it took to make a cup of tea, her skin, which had been burning due to embarrassment, gradually cooled down. She finally felt that something was wrong.

She suddenly opened her eyes and met Liu Yuan's gaze.

“…”

“…”

Liu Yuan silently shifted his gaze away and coughed twice.

“It seems that you should calm down now. I have to clarify that I'm not here…” He deliberated for a moment before continuing, “…for you. I have a lot of women, and Ling Hua is one of them. There are a few women who are comparable to her, so I'm not that thirsty.”

He didn't need to be so thirsthy? Wei Feiyan said faintly, “Then just now, you …”

Liu Yuan blinked and asked, “Are you sure you want me to say it?”

Wei Feiyan was stunned. Then, she realized that her words just now seemed to have a hint of reverse teasing… If she really let the other party say it, it would be too bold.

Her face quickly turned red again, and she put on a straight face. She was a little annoyed at the other party's self-righteousness, and she subconsciously lowered her eyes to look at the rippling water. Her burning brain finally cooled down.

Of course, she knew that he was not here for her. Her impression of Liu Yuan was still from four months ago in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He came and went in brothels as if he was staying there. He could even arrogantly say to Yan Guanlin that he was not worthy of being in a brothel, and his desire for women was not that low.

However, since he had appeared during the bath, he must have used this to threaten her and achieve other goals. That was why she had said ‘other than my body, you won't be able to get anything' to show that she couldn't do anything detrimental to the sect.

Wei Feiyan took a deep breath, raised her head, and forced herself to look at the other party. She said, “Now that you're not here for me, you must have other purposes. At this time, only the Fire Awarding Ceremony could attract a wanted man like you. I guess you've also heard my talk with my Junior Sister apprentices just now, right? That's why you've decided to use me…”

Liu Yuan nodded. It was easy to guess his purpose for appearing at this time. However, for her to figure it out despite her panic was impressive.

He said straightforwardly, “A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. I want to enter your forbidden area. Don't worry, I don't have any intention of threatening your sect. If I want to harm your sect, I don't need to go through so much trouble. Just the City of Ten Thousand Swords and the Xuanyin family are enough.”

Wei Feiyan's expression was complicated, but she had to admit that the other party was right. The Mythical Flame Sect was only one of the six sects. Although it was also one of the top sects, without a Crossing Calamity stage cultivator to oversee it, it would be inferior. On the other hand, the Sword Pavilion and the Xuanyin family, which the City of Ten Thousand Swords relied on, were both behemoths…

If the rumors were true, the Xuanyin family would probably make this man their first son-in-law in their history. If he wanted to ask the Xuanyin family for help, it would be as easy as turning his hand over.

Wei Feiyan hesitated for a moment and said, “There's only the Extraordinary Phoenix Fire in the forbidden area. We can't enter without the elders in the sect. Moreover. the candidates for this ceremony are not simple. I'm not sure if we can enter. Even if we enter, I can only choose a cluster of fire at the periphery as my Natal Flame. There's nothing inside except fire. It's desolate. The reason it's a forbidden area is that it's too dangerous…”

“What?” Liu Yuan raised his brows. “Are you worried that I'll mistakenly believe that there are rumors of heavenly treasures in the forbidden grounds of the Mythical Flame Sect? You want to remind me so that I won't waste my energy and die instead? That means, you're willing to help in this matter, right? Then it's settled – I'll help you obtain the qualifications for the true inheritance, and you'll bring me into the ceremony. As long as we're within a thousand feet of the forbidden area, I'm confident that I can enter without being discovered.”

“Wait, wait!” Wei Feiyan frowned and angrily rebuked, “Are you even listening to what I'm saying? When did I say that I was worried about you? And I didn't agree to it!”

“Oh?” Liu Yuan sat on the chair and rubbed his chin. “That means the cooperation has broken down?”

He stood up. Wei Feiyan was shocked and said, “W-what do you want to do?”

“It seems that you're not as determined as you said. If I really did force you to do something, you should be able to cooperate better now.” Liu Yuan smiled and then sighed. “It's a pity that I didn't want to do anything. Since our cooperation has broken down, I can only leave quietly.”

Wei Feiyan was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but he saw Liu Yuan really turn around and leave.

She did not know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely felt that Liu Yuan's eyes were a little sad when he turned around. She suddenly realized that his hair was all white, and that kind of lifeless paleness was unusually bleak.

“Can I ask what you're doing in the forbidden area?” Wei Feiyan asked hesitantly.

Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks and remained silent for a while. He shook his head and pretended to be disappointed. “To be honest, my life is on the line now. I can only hope that I can find some Phoenix blood in the place where the Phoenix reincarnated. Since you can't do it, I have no choice but to force my way in.”
