“I don't know what Young Master likes to eat, so I just ordered some random dishes. I hope they suit Young Master's taste.”
Qianqian Fairy waved her hand, signaling the waiter to withdraw, and greeted Qin Xuan with a smile.
The waiter, being observant, bowed hastily and retreated.
He then closed the door.
Qin Xuan's Divine Soul swept the surroundings, and he breathed a sigh of relief, confirming there was no one else nearby.
He was aware of this woman's strength, merely Yuqing Realm Fourth or Fifth Level, posing no major threat to him.
However, Qin Xuan couldn't quite understand why this woman would seek him out.
Looking at the smiling Qianqian Fairy, Qin Xuan shook his head slightly.
“Fairy, please speak frankly. There’s no need for all these twists and turns.”
He didn't want to waste too much time with this woman here.
“Young Master is really too impatient. I’ve prepared a banquet here. Doesn’t Young Master want to try it? I heard this restaurant’s cooking is quite good.”
Qianqian Fairy said with a smile, clearly wanting to get closer to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile.
“If Fairy truly wants to invite me to eat and drink, then after the Kun Peng Nest trip, I’ll take Fairy to a good place that will surely satisfy her.”
“However, now is a critical period for exploring the Kun Peng Nest. Fairy inviting me here is probably not as simple as just a meal, is it?”
“If that’s the case, then why should we waste time? Isn't it better to speak frankly and get straight to the point?”
Upon hearing this, Qianqian Fairy smiled sweetly and nodded slightly towards Qin Xuan.
“Young Master is straightforward, so I’ll be direct.”
“To be honest, I am on a mission from my Sect to go to the Kun Peng Nest. However, my strength is insufficient, and my cultivation is not high. There are many dangers along the way, so I want to travel with Young Master and have Young Master escort me for a while. I wonder if Young Master is willing.”
Saying this, Qianqian Fairy poured a cup of wine and, with a smile, handed it to Qin Xuan.
Her eyes, like autumn water, held a fiery allure that made one feel pity.
Qin Xuan's fingertips glided over the rim of the cup, his eyes fixed on Qianqian Fairy, trying to discern the truth in her words.
However, his Divine Soul swept over Qianqian Fairy, but he found no abnormalities.
This woman's mind was too stable, and her Divine Soul was quite powerful; he couldn't find any flaws.
From beginning to end, there was no emotional fluctuation in her words, which made Qin Xuan somewhat unsure how to react.
This woman's strength wasn't high, but in terms of mind and Divine Soul, she was not weak at all.
“Escort you for a while?”
Qin Xuan shook his head with a smile.
“Fairy, what does that mean? Why do you want to travel with me and have me escort you?”
“The Kun Peng Nest has already been occupied by the powerhouses of various Sects and forces, as long as one has the token to go there. I don't think anyone would dare to stop Fairy.”
“Not to mention the nearby sea area, it must have been controlled by others long ago.”
“Fairy can go by herself; there's no need to travel with me.”
“As for escorting, my strength is low; I can't even protect myself fully, so I'm afraid I can't escort Fairy.”
This was a subtle refusal.
Unsure of the other party's bottom line, Qin Xuan didn't want to break ties, so he could only refuse in this subtle way.
He didn't want to keep such a dangerous person by his side; if she discovered his secrets, he would be doomed.
Qianqian Fairy seemed to have already anticipated this. She smiled and shook her head at Qin Xuan.
“Young Master is truly joking.”
“If this Kun Peng Nest were so easy to reach, wouldn't everyone be able to go?”
“The reason why major forces impose quota restrictions is, on one hand, they don't want to leave the Kun Peng Nest’s Legacy to others, and on the other hand, the area around the Kun Peng Nest is extremely dangerous and cannot be easily entered.”
Seeing Qin Xuan's confusion, Qianqian Fairy began to explain.
“Although the Kun Peng Nest is within the East Sea, that place is different from most of the calm East Sea waters. The sea area near the Kun Peng Nest is called the Wu Ji Sea, and it is full of extremely dangerous sea Yao Beasts, making it difficult to approach.”
Qianqian Fairy glanced at Qin Xuan and sighed at him.
“Young Master, there are countless Yao Beasts and Spirit Beasts there, including level eight and nine transformed Great Yao Beasts. The danger is exceptionally high. Unless a Cloud Boat flies over from above, it’s simply impossible to enter that sea area.”
“So I want to travel with Young Master and have Young Master escort me for a while.”
It's actually that dangerous.
Although he had anticipated that the area near the Kun Peng Nest might be very dangerous, Qin Xuan hadn't expected it to be this dangerous.
However, this reason was not enough for Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan shook his head.
“I am truly sorry, my cultivation is merely Heaven Profound Realm Fifth or Sixth Level, far from being comparable to Cultivators at Heaven Profound Realm Ninth Level or even Heaven Profound Realm Peak.”
“Please ask someone more capable, Fairy.”
Qin Xuan had lost the desire to continue talking. He shook his head slightly and stood up, wanting to leave.
“Does Young Master truly not want to help me?”
Qianqian Fairy did not get up, merely staring at Qin Xuan with a smile.
“I apologize, I can’t even protect myself right now, how can I protect Fairy?”
“Please find someone else, Fairy.”
Qin Xuan cupped his hands, looking at her calmly.
This woman gave him a dangerous feeling, and he didn't want to get too entangled with her.
“Young Master is truly heartless. I am a weak woman with low cultivation. Is Young Master unwilling to help me?”
Qianqian Fairy put on a wronged expression.
This woman was truly an actress; if she met someone who couldn't control himself, he might really fall for her trick.
However, Qin Xuan was different; his three hundred years of experience had made him immune to such simple temptations.
With a cold sneer in his heart, Qin Xuan looked at her indifferently, with no intention of being chivalrous.
“I have no obligation to help Fairy. Since Fairy’s goal is also the Kun Peng Nest, we might even be competitors. If we are competitors, why should I help?”
Qin Xuan sneered and turned to leave.
Since it was confirmed that this was a trap set by Qianqian Fairy and her purpose was clear.
Then Qin Xuan naturally stood up directly, wanting to leave.
Anyway, this Qianqian Fairy's cultivation was ordinary, and she had no other tricks up her sleeve, so Qin Xuan naturally wouldn't worry.
He couldn't quite figure out this woman, and since he couldn't, it was better to keep his distance from her.
Seeing Qin Xuan's resolute stance, Qianqian Fairy sighed slightly and removed the veil from her face.
“Does Young Master think I am beautiful?”
Qin Xuan turned back to look, his Divine Soul trembled, almost uncontrollably swaying.
In his eyes, Qianqian Fairy in front of him seemed like an unparalleled beauty, and his heart immediately stirred.
“Not good!”
Qin Xuan instantly became alert, but his consciousness uncontrollably looked at Qianqian Fairy.
At the same time, his steps couldn't help but begin to move towards Qianqian Fairy.
However, his Divine Soul was powerful after all, and after a few breaths, he immediately regained control of his Divine Soul and will.
