Chapter 1423: Stay With Me Forever (1)

Shen Yanxiao felt as if she had slept and was full of energy.

She opened her eyes and saw a pair of golden eyes similar to the sun.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Xiu?”

“Are you feeling unwell?” Xiu asked in a low voice as he looked at Shen Yanxiao’s puzzled expression.

“I’m not feeling unwell.” Shen Yanxiao blinked. All of a sudden, she realized that she was lying in Xiu’s embrace, and her face flushed red.

She wanted to get up, but Xiu held her tight.

“…”

“You’ve just completed the contract with Taotie, so your body is still weak.” Xiu’s voice did not have any fluctuations, but it made Shen Yanxiao’s heartbeat speed up.

“Taotie and I?” Shen Yanxiao was stunned. How did she complete the contract with Taotie?

“Taotie couldn’t control his side of the contract. Fortunately, your mental energy is strong enough. However, you have to be careful during this period of time. You cannot randomly use your mental energy,” Xiu softly instructed.

Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Taotie was the holy beast she had prepared for Lan Fengli!

Why did he sign a contract with her?

Didn’t that mean she already had two contracted magical beasts?

Shen Yanxiao turned around and looked at Taotie who was sitting in the cage. He looked at Shen Yanxiao with a guilty conscience, just like a kid who had done something wrong.

Vermilion Bird stood by Taotie’s side with an angry posture.

If not to save Shen Yanxiao, how could he possibly allow Taotie to become her contracted magical beast?

The moment he thought that this idiot Taotie had s.n.a.t.c.hed his master, Vermilion Bird wished he could chop him into pieces.

“After you sign a contract with Taotie, you can directly summon him into your body. You don’t have to think of ways to undo the enchantment anymore,” Xiu said.

Taotie had profited from a disaster. Not only was he bound to Shen Yanxiao, but he could also leave the cage at any time. However…

Taotie looked at the fierce Vermilion Bird on one side, not daring to reveal any joy.

“Oh.” Shen Yanxiao nodded in a daze. Being hugged by Xiu, she felt that something was amiss. Her body was so hot that it was about to burst into flames.

She continuously twisted her body, wanting to dissipate that heat.

Xiu noticed Shen Yanxiao’s actions. He lowered his head and looked at Shen Yanxiao who was blus.h.i.+ng in his arms.

Shen Yanxiao did not dare to move as Xiu’s gaze was fixed on her.

“You have to get used to it,” Xiu said.

“What?” Shen Yanxiao did not understand.

“I don’t have any body heat right now. You may feel uncomfortable, but you’ll get used to it when I get my body back.” Xiu said directly.

“What?” Shen Yanxiao was even more confused.

Xiu did not explain further. “You are the first and last.”

“What… what are you talking about?” Shen Yanxiao’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.

“In this world, will you stay with me forever?” Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao, and his cold facial features seemed to have become gentle at that moment.

Shen Yanxiao’s heartbeat stopped at that moment. She looked at Xiu, at this powerful soul that had been by her side since her rebirth, her heart in chaos.

“I-I won’t live that long,” Shen Yanxiao panicked and subconsciously said these words.

Xiu slightly curled his lips. For tens of millions of years, this War G.o.d that stood at the peak of all living beings revealed his first smile since he was born.

“I have pa.s.sed on my divine power to you. In this world, as long as I am alive, you will not die. Are you willing to follow me down this path?”
