Chapter 1085 Primordial Phoenix Heart

"If you ever feel like ending the contract, you know where to go." Xu Xuan said with her gaze on Xiao Rong, who immediately shook her head and responded, "I"d rather die than end the contract."

Xu Xuan shrugged with a slight smile on her face.

"Anyway, is that all you wanted to speak with me about?" she turned to look at Su Yang, almost as if she knew he wanted something else from her.

Su Yang smiled and said, "I would actually like to purchase some treasures from you."

"You?" Xu Xuan suddenly chuckled, "Su Yang, even if you had everything you did in the past, you still wouldn"t be able to afford whatever I have to offer."

"What kind of nonsense is that? I may not have been the wealthiest out there, but I definitely had enough to purchase from the Autumn Phantom Manor," he quickly rebuked.

"Is that so? Then what do you want to purchase from me?"

"What do you have in stock that will boost Yang Qi?"

Hearing his inquiry, Xu Xuan immediately pulled out a piece of blank scroll from her storage ring and handed it to him.

The moment Su Yang touched the blank scroll, words began to materialize on it, forming a list of items that matched his desired specifications, almost as if the scroll had the ability to read his mind.

"There"s less than I antic.i.p.ated here," Su Yang mumbled after glancing at the list.

"Hmph." Xu Xuan merely snorted at his words.

Unbeknownst to Su Yang, Xu Xuan would deliberately acquire treasures that benefit Yang Qi just for her, but after his death, she no longer had a reason to do so, hence the lack of stock at this moment.

After taking a moment to read through the list of nine items, Su Yang read two of them out loud, "The Primordial Phoenix Heart and the Incandescent Dragon"s Essence."

Xu Xuan"s eyes widened with shock upon hearing Su Yang mention those names. Not only were these the two most valuable treasures in her possession, but they were also compatible with each other, capable of amplifying each other"s effects significantly, thus increasing the risks for the consumer.

"Don"t tell me you"re going to consume them in your current state? That"s suicide!" Xu Xuan exclaimed with a worried look on her face.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Don"t worry, even I am not that reckless. I am just preparing for the future."

Xu Xuan looked a little more relieved after hearing that he wouldn"t be consuming them any time soon. However, she still frowned and said, "And how are you going to pay for them?"

"With my body?" Su Yang responded in a joking tone.

"..."

Seeing the annoyed look on Xu Xuan"s face, Su Yang quickly said, "You"re still not good with jokes, huh?"

"Not when it comes to my business, no."

Su Yang pondered for a moment before giving his real offer, "You remember that thing you"ve always pestered me about selling to you? Would you accept that?"

Xu Xuan wore a surprised expression on her face, and she asked, "You"re actually willing to part with that thing? You"d rather die than part with that thing before. What changed?"

"Many things…" he responded with a slight smile.

Xu Xuan pondered seriously for a few moments before responding to his offer. "Even if it"s that thing, it would only cover the cost of the Primordial Phoenix Heart. However, I"ll give you a special discount for helping me reunite with my sister."

"In addition to that thing, you"ll also give me your Family Seal."

"What…?" Su Yang"s eyes widened with shock after hearing such an unexpected offer.

"I think I misheard you. Can you repeat that again?" he said, his face filled with disbelief.

Xu Xuan suddenly approached him and grabbed his ear, pulling it toward her lips before she repeated in a pa.s.sionate voice, "Give. Me. Your. Family. Seal!" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Su Yang"s entire being trembled at her voice, which possessed a charm potent enough to captivate even G.o.ds. When Xu Xuan finally released his ear, and he could see her face again, he noticed it was considerably redder than just moments before.

"You"re serious?" Su Yang still couldn"t believe Xu Xuan was asking for his Family Seal.

Although they had their intimate moments before, it was never serious enough—at least, that"s how Xu Xuan made it feel.

There was always a thin layer of barrier between them, one that prevented their relations.h.i.+p from advancing past casual dual cultivation partners.

"That wasn"t the reaction I was expecting. Don"t tell me you don"t have any feelings for me?" Xu Xuan wore a disappointed look on her face.

"That"s not it. From our interactions, you never struck me as someone drawn to the idea of having a family."

"Seriously? You couldn"t tell from those little ones I"d adopted that I am the family type?"

Su Yang chuckled, "They appeared more like your minions than family…"

Xu Xuan narrowed her eyes at him and mumbled, "So you don"t want to…?"

"It"s not that I don"t want to, but the idea of exchanging my Family Seal for—"

"Jeez, that was just a joke." Xu Xuan suddenly interrupted. "That thing I wanted is already more than enough to pay for my two treasures."

Su Yang"s eyes widened with surprise.

"What? You think you"re the only one who"s changed after two thousand years?"

Before Su Yang could respond, she continued, "I…I have loved you ever since the day you saved me. If it weren"t for you, I wouldn"t be here today. I didn"t say anything back then because I was content with what I already had, and I was waiting for you to recognize me, but alas, not only did you not recognize me after so long, but you even died."

When Su Yang saw tears appearing at the edge of Xu Xuan"s eyes, he felt a squeezing sensation in his heart.

"Sorry…"

"It"s fine. And to be fair to you, I never really gave you any hints, so I am also at fault." Xu Xuan shook her head.
