Chapter 2011
Unlike the excited exclamations of Qing Tianyu and the others, in the crowd behind the warship deck, Senior Sister Liuli was quietly holding Bai Qianjue's hand, her voice tinged with a mixture of joy and trepidation:
"Senior sister, do you think... I could join Senior Brother Chen Xuan's team?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianjue glanced at her helplessly and shook his head: "How about I ask my brother to ask Senior Brother Chen Xuan for you another day?"
"No, no, no!" Senior Sister Liuli quickly waved her hands, then changed the subject, muttering to herself as if she had lost her soul.
"But when I think of my senior brother's sword just now, my heart is pounding so hard that I haven't calmed down yet... Oh no, I'm hopelessly obsessed, I just can't forget it!" She looked just like a little girl who was infatuated, which made Bai Qianjue both laugh and cry.
Bai Qianjue followed her gaze to the distant void and lowered his voice to remind her:
"Take a look first—at this moment, not to mention you, even the most beautiful holy maidens from the various holy lands would want to become Senior Brother Chen Xuan's Daoist partner, even if it's just to be a maid."
"A maid? Surely not?" Senior Sister Liuli was shocked and immediately used her Dao Eye Divine Power to scan the warships on all sides. She should have looked first, because she saw that many female disciples were looking in the direction of the void arena, their eyes full of envy, and even a little red, clearly they were tempted.
"It's over, it's over, there's even less hope now!" Senior Sister Liuli's face fell instantly, her tone full of frustration. "Although I'm not bad, compared to the Holy Maidens of Yaochi and Tianxuan, I have no advantage at all..."
"You think this is a beauty pageant?" Bai Qianjue gently squeezed her hand, his tone carrying a hint of guidance. "On the path of cultivation, even if you become cultivation partners, you must prioritize the Great Dao. With your eyesight, can't you see that Yu'er, Zhanxin, and Junior Sister Piaoxue are all virgins?"
Senior Sister Liuli was taken aback, then quickly examined the group of people in the distance, before nodding emphatically: "It really is! I never noticed this before!"
"You're too busy swooning over your crush to notice anything," Bai Qianjue said helplessly. "This just shows that Senior Brother Chen Xuan isn't one to be attracted to beautiful women. You still have a chance."
"Really?" Senior Sister Liuli's eyes lit up instantly, and she began to fantasize—the one being held tightly by Chen Xuan on the void arena wasn't Lu Xueqi, but herself. Her shy yet infatuated expression made Bai Qianjue roll his eyes and utter two words: "Useless."
Despite her complaints, Bai Qianjue's gaze remained fixed on the distant, empty arena. She looked at Lu Xueqi's figure, then cast an expectant look at Chen Xuan, murmuring softly:
"In any case, this ranking battle brought together the eight Immortal Kings and abolished the old system of the Holy Maiden's furnace. As the biggest driving force behind this, Chen Xuan, this great event will surely be sung and remembered by countless future generations of outstanding women, and will be passed down for eternity."
At this moment, Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi were being watched by all the young cultivators—some young girls were in love, their eyes full of longing; others clenched their fists, fantasizing that they could be as powerful as Chen Xuan in the future, crushing the contemporary geniuses with their invincible strength.
Now that the matter had been resolved, Chen Xuan moved his mind, and the immortal-grade chains that had been binding Han Jiuling and the others instantly transformed into a thin thread, flying back into his hand.
Having regained their freedom, Han Jiuling, Dao Yi, Xuan Yi, Tian Mang, and the other eight looked at Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi with a different look. Their previous high spirits were gone, replaced by an undisguised sense of desolation.
In the past, the young number one of the eight holy lands would have been unconvinced and competed with each other, but today Chen Xuan has made a name for himself, and all of them have become the background to highlight his brilliance.
Even if they didn't say it, everyone present could feel their resentment—their spirit was completely gone.
Even top-tier holy sons like Lian Tianyi, who hadn't yet taken the stage, lost all desire to compete with Chen Xuan.
"Brother Chen Xuan, you have made a name for yourself in this battle today, and you have also reunited with your long-sought-after Daoist partner. Congratulations!" Yaochi Saint Son Tianmang was the first to react. He cupped his hands and smiled at Chen Xuan and his companion, his tone filled with sincere admiration.
