Su Qiannai's words presented Wu Tian with both a new world and a heavy blow.
He should have realized that finding an immortal root would be difficult. After all, even someone like Zhang Wuji couldn't find one in his lifetime. How could it be something he could find so easily?
Seeing his dazed expression, Su Qiannai said, "Don't overthink it. Let's focus on reaching the peak of level nine first."
"Don't think it's easy to advance in these small stages; the difficulty of each small stage is even greater than the larger ones."
"As for the immortal root, I'll help you find a way."
"Every five years, the Divine Doctor Sect holds a grand competition. The winner receives an immortal root."
"If I win, I'll give the immortal root to you."
"Ah?" Su Qiannai's words greatly surprised Wu Tian.
He exclaimed in astonishment, "Give it to me? You don't have to go that far, do you?"
Su Qiannai smiled and said, "But don't get your hopes up too high. The immortal root might not necessarily fall into my hands."
"But you can rest assured, if I get it, I will definitely give it to you."
Wu Tian couldn't understand why Su Qiannai would do this and asked, "Isn't that inappropriate?"
"You said yourself that the immortal root is crucial for ascending to immortality. How can you give something so important to me?"
Su Qiannai smiled and said, "Let's not be so formal between us. You are the Sacred Dragon, and I am the Heavenly Phoenix. It's only right that I help you."
Wu Tian was at a loss for words.
Although he was the successor of the Sacred Dragon, he didn't feel much about it. He still considered himself Wu Tian, just a small village doctor from Peach Blossom Village. Su Qiannai's words undoubtedly added another layer to his identity, which he was still struggling to adapt to.
At the same time, he was deeply touched by Su Qiannai's words. This woman was completely different from what he had imagined. It seemed he had wronged her all this time. Thinking about how he had desperately tried to kill Su Qiannai just moments ago, his chest felt a little tight.
He smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. I'll find a way myself."
"If you manage to get the immortal root, please keep it for yourself. You don't need to give it to me."
After speaking, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said sheepishly, "Right, are you… are you alright?"
"Did I… did I injure you before?"
Su Qiannai smiled and said, "Of course, I was injured, but I've almost recovered now."
Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
But Su Qiannai then added, "Good for what? Although I'm fine now, I'm still in trouble."
"Tell me, what would have happened if you had actually killed me back then?"
Wu Tian was stunned. He had never considered this question and didn't know how to answer.
Su Qiannai then put on a coquettish expression and said, "I don't care. You owe me anyway, and I'll make you pay."
"And for now… you can start by paying me back a little."
Wu Tian asked curiously, "What do you want?"
Su Qiannai floated slightly, her delicate feet creating gentle ripples in the air. She walked up to Wu Tian and gently placed her slender hand on his chest.
She exhaled a fragrant breath, her beautiful eyes seeming to hold a softness that was about to overflow. "Let's do it again."
"Ah?" Wu Tian was still not reacting. "Do it again? Do what?"
Su Qiannai's pretty face flushed slightly, but given her personality, she wouldn't be shy. Looking into Wu Tian's eyes, she said tenderly, "So you did that to me, but to be honest…"
"I found it very comfortable, and I liked it very much."
"So… how about you make me comfortable again?"
Wu Tian was instantly dumbfounded. He quickly raised his hands and said, "No, don't do this!"
"I know I was wrong, but you can't mock me like this!"
Su Qiannai wrinkled her nose slightly and said, "Who's mocking you? I'm telling the truth."
"A long time ago, I hoped to find a man who could conquer me. And what you did to me before, although it was rough, but…"
"It did give me a feeling of being conquered."
"So let's do it again. I want to try that feeling again, okay?"
Wu Tian was dumbfounded. In his impression, Su Qiannai had always been a strong woman. She was so powerful and mysterious, as if no one could ever defeat her. But now, why had Su Qiannai become like this? Did she actually enjoy being passive? Come to think of it, this was truly earth-shattering!
Looking at Su Qiannai's incredibly beautiful face, Wu Tian's heart pounded. Su Qiannai was even more beautiful than Zhou Qian, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. For such a woman to throw herself at him, it was impossible to resist. But he still felt a great burden. After all, he had forced himself on Su Qiannai earlier! And now to do such things with Su Qiannai again, what was this all about?
So, even though his body was burning with desire, he still insisted, "No, no, no… I can't."
"How can we do this? It just ended!"
"I think let's forget about it today. I… I don't really want to."
"Don't really want to?" Su Qiannai's gaze slowly drifted down, settling on Wu Tian. "But your body seems to be very honest."
Wu Tian stiffened, and then his face turned red. He instinctively took two steps back and said, "You, you, you… don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
Su Qiannai said, "Stop talking so much nonsense. You owe me this, don't you?"
"And now, it's your turn to repay me."
As she spoke, Su Qiannai smiled playfully, and the purple spiritual energy enveloping her instantly dissipated. At the same time, her perfect, flawless white body was once again exposed to Wu Tian. It was filled with endless beauty, making it impossible to look away.
Wu Tian quickly closed his eyes, but after a few seconds, he felt a faint fragrance waft towards him. Then, his lips were pressed by something soft. Wu Tian's mind went blank. He suddenly opened his eyes to find Su Qiannai embracing him and kissing him. The seductive fragrance continuously filled Wu Tian's nostrils, making his very bones feel soft. Under Su Qiannai's aggressive advances, his reason finally crumbled. He immediately pulled Su Qiannai into his arms and then fell down with her.
Soon, the melodious sounds of the forest began to echo…
