Before he could finish speaking, the woman in blue suddenly widened her eyes: "What did you say? She's close to you?"

Hooked.

Yun Chu'an sneered inwardly, but maintained a normal expression on her face: "Of course."

Then, he continued his fabrication: "In that embrace, we finally trusted each other. Otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted her with such an important 'Copper Essence' ore deposit. And with her high level of cultivation, she was willing to spend time and effort to refine these things for me..."

His gaze swept over the woman in blue before him: "Fellow Daoist, this is a matter of mutual trust between us. If you're thinking of harming her..."

He turned his face away: "I don't want to go against my own feelings."

The woman in blue lowered her head, gritting her teeth, her mind in turmoil. She wanted nothing more than to kill the man before her immediately, yet she knew that doing so would solve nothing.

It might even alert the enemy, making them suddenly aware of her existence...

The woman in blue had no idea about the complicated relationship between Yun Chu'an and Bai Wu'an. In her opinion, the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had fought with her for his sake must be one of his accomplices and allies.

If I were to kill him here, the news would likely get back quickly, and the other side would certainly become aware of my presence and take precautions against me.

On the contrary, if we can establish mutual trust with him, get him to go back, stabilize the other side, and make him an inside man, then perhaps he has more value to us than we think...

There is no turning back in this game...

She pondered and weighed her options, then suddenly gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, took half a step forward, and opened her arms wide.

Then he gave Yun Chuan a big hug.

"?"

Yun Chu'an was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to be so proactive and enthusiastic.

He lowered his head slightly and saw that the woman in blue's pretty face had already flushed slightly. She was nervous, and her voice was a little unnatural: "I'm telling you, you don't have to worry about it too much..."

"She and I are of the same origin. The battle between us is just a matter of different inclinations of the same person, and the question of who will dominate each other after we are united in the future."

"So, you don't need to worry about anything at all. You can treat her like me, and you can treat me like her. The same kind of trust she built with you can be built with me. After all, in the future, when we are together again, we..."

"It's still the same person."

She spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly. She knew it was abrupt and unlikely to immediately gain Yun Chu'an's trust, but she couldn't care less.

The only option is to feign trust for now, and then crush him once the big plan is accomplished. It won't be too late then.

With that thought in mind, she pressed her face against his chest, enduring the discomfort, and made contact with him.

However, at this moment, a storm was brewing in Yun Chu'an's heart!

WTF?

So, in that case, Yan Yao, the woman in red, and the woman in blue in front of them...

They're actually the same person?!

Different remnants of the same person?

Who are they? What happened? Why can't even Nangong Wan figure it out?

Or is all of this a lie she told to deceive me?

No, if we have to say, Yan Yao only suddenly revealed his strange supernatural ability to easily extract the essence of copper from crude copper after the woman in red was killed.

Therefore, this statement is most likely true...

His heart was pounding, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He desperately wanted to know more, but he also knew that these things couldn't be rushed.

He needs some time.

He swallowed hard, then said in a deep voice, "Miss, this will probably take a while."

"I have absolutely no idea who you are, just as you don't know what kind of person I am."

"If we don't even know each other, how can we talk about mutual trust?"

As he said this, the woman in blue lowered her eyes, then released her arms from his embrace and said, "My name is Yan Yao."

Yun Chu'an's heart quickened slightly; the name was indeed quite reasonable.

So, does that mean the woman in red was also named Yan Yao?

Perhaps, this was the name of the great being before they disintegrated?

The Central Plains had never heard of this name before. Perhaps she was from another continent?

A series of speculations arose in his mind, and he resolved to investigate the relevant information thoroughly when he returned.

But in general, the safest way to get the most information about "Yan Yao" is to dig deep into the woman in front of us.

With that thought in mind, he continued, "My name is Yun Chu'an."

The woman in blue pursed her lips, observing his expression, and suddenly said, "I guess she probably didn't tell you your real name?"

Yun Chu'an recalled the woman in red's behavior back then, smiled bitterly, and said, "That's true, but that doesn't prevent the existence of a tacit understanding between us."

Yan Yao, dressed in blue, chuckled lightly: "Then this trust isn't so difficult to establish."

As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took his hand: "Come here."

"The Western Sea is vast and boundless, far richer than your Central Plains. It is teeming with treasures and all sorts of rare and exotic creatures, which are highly nutritious to eat—today, I will take you to see it for yourself."

Yun Chu'an took the opportunity to grab her small hand; it felt soft and cool to the touch, quite pleasant.

For a moment, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. Compared to the woman in red who immediately started shouting for battle, this woman in blue seemed easier to deal with.

That makes sense. After all, she had already discovered Yan Yao, so all she had to do was kill Yan Yao to absorb this "same origin" fragment back and achieve her ultimate goal.

There's no need to waste words on myself.

Hmm, based on this...

He held the blue-clad woman's small hand and felt her body stiffen and even tremble as a result of the sudden hand-holding. He could tell that she had no experience in this area.

When he turned his head slightly and looked past her delicate ears, he saw a slight blush of nervousness rising on her originally fair cheeks, which made him even more certain of his judgment.

He didn't say much, letting her lead him as they went outside.

Outside, the weather on the island can change in an instant. When he came in, the sky was clear and blue, but now it was covered with dark clouds.

Just like this moment, the inner thoughts of two people, each with their own ulterior motives.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, above the nine-layered protective array of the Central Plains.

Bai Wu'an sped back to the place where everyone had gathered and rested, his face gloomy and looking quite unpleasant.

At this moment, he was still injured, and the injury was quite fatal. Ignoring everything else, he immediately sat cross-legged, held his breath, concentrated, absorbed spiritual energy, and circulated his internal energy to heal his wounds.

As he focused his mind and tried to stabilize his injuries, several streaks of light suddenly appeared in the distance. First to arrive was King Qin, Ying Xuan, followed by the other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators, including Jiang Qingke and Lian Yanzhang, rushed over. Seeing Bai Wu'an meditating alone, Jiang Qingke's expression changed, and he asked urgently, "Bai Wu'an, where is Yun Chu'an?!"

He had always suspected that this Bai Zhuguo of Qin had ulterior motives towards Yun Chu'an, and now that Yun Chu'an's whereabouts were unknown, his suspicions were intensified.

At this moment, he completely lost his usual composure and immediately launched an attack, determined to get an explanation from Bai Wu'an!

Chapter 811 The Blue-Clad Woman's Slim Waist

Bai Wu'an was equally annoyed by his questioning. But before he could speak, King Qin Ying Xuan spoke first: "What's the rush?"

He was dressed in a dark imperial robe and wore a flat crown. His expression was dignified and imposing: "Fellow Daoist Yun's disappearance must have its own reasons. Bai Zhuguo, you don't need to be nervous. Just tell him the truth."

As he spoke, he also expressed some curiosity. He knew how formidable Yun Chu'an was, and with Bai Wu'an taking care of him, there shouldn't have been any accidents.

He waited quietly for Bai Wu'an's reply, and just then, several more streaks of light came from afar, and Nangong Wan and the others arrived one after another.

They had just sensed the unusual, intense fluctuations of the battle, and for a moment they didn't know what had happened.

Therefore, at this moment, more than a dozen pairs of eyes, including several Nascent Soul experts, were staring at Bai Wu'an, waiting for him to give an answer.

Under such a large audience, the pressure on Bai Wu'an was immense. He swallowed hard, not daring to conceal anything, and recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

Nangong Wan listened quietly, her face icy cold. Jiang Qingke and Lian Yanzhang also listened, but the former's expression grew increasingly gloomy as she listened.

After Bai Wu'an finished speaking, his face filled with shame, he said, "So, that's how it is. I don't know the identity of that woman in blue, but I'm no match for her, so I could only return first to report to everyone."

Jiang Qingke sneered, not believing his statement at all, and said, "Is that so? In my opinion, there was no woman in blue at all. It was clearly you who secretly plotted to kill Fellow Daoist Yun, and then wrote, directed, and acted out this whole scene!"

Bai Wu'an glared at him angrily: "How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Not far away, Lian Yanzhang also said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, your martial prowess is evident to all. Who dares to say that they can surpass you in the realm below the Nascent Soul stage? And above the Nascent Soul stage, there are naturally Sect Master Nangong and others watching. Your words are really hard to believe."

Bai Wu'an felt as if he had been choked, filled with resentment, yet for a moment he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

After all, before today, he was truly invincible among those in the Nascent Soul stage. He never imagined that the woman in blue would have such ability to beat him into this state.

The tension was palpable, and at that moment, Nangong Wan, who had been silent and listening quietly, finally spoke.

"Stop arguing," she said softly, her voice calm yet carrying a soothing power. "I already know about Yun Chu'an's ordeal. This matter is beyond your capabilities, so don't worry about it. I'll handle it."

"You all go about your business. Leave his safety to me."

As the leader of the people here, she had spoken, so naturally no one had any objections. They dispersed, some meditating and resting, others continuing to cleanse themselves of pollution, and so on.

Nangong Wan also turned around, her body transforming into a streak of light as she departed. When she arrived in front of a huge cloud, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and her expression turned hostile: "Ao Run, come out here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding space seemed to fall silent for a second. Then, a sheepish female voice rang out from within the clouds: "Sister Nangong, you found me?"

Before the words were finished, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, wearing a low-cut long dress made of blue and white dragon scales, slowly appeared from the clouds.

At this moment, her charming face no longer held the confidence and domineering aura she displayed when facing Yun Chuan. Instead, it carried a hint of guilt and even a fawning emotion as she looked at Nangong Wan.

The mighty Nascent Soul stage True Dragon, the ruler of the entire Western Sea, was now like a child caught doing something wrong by his parents, not daring to do anything reckless.

Nangong Wan looked helpless and said, "With your mediocre skills, you think you can pull these tricks on me? I'm pretending not to notice so I won't hold it against you. I'm not so old and blind that I can't see through these things."

A hint of admiration flashed in Ao Run's eyes: "As expected of Sister Nangong, I am still no match for you. I believe that in the future, you will definitely be able to break through to the Integration Stage."

If Yun Chuan were here, he would have noticed that the way Ao Run looked at Nangong Wan at that moment was exactly the same as the way Dongfang Yue looked at Yan Shui.

Nangong Wan wasn't particularly interested in her flattery. She continued, "Enough of the small talk, Ao Run. You must have heard what that Nascent Soul cultivator reported, right?"

Ao Run put away his smile, nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, I heard that. Fellow Daoist Yun was kidnapped by her and there has been no news of him since."

Nangong Wan said seriously, "Judging from the location where the incident occurred, if the woman in blue wanted to escape my pursuit, her only option was to break through the barrier and flee to the West Sea."

"Yun Chu'an is very important to the Central Plains, so I'm asking you to go and bring him back. Are you willing to agree?"

Ao Run's eyes lit up, and then he nodded: "Of course I'm willing! Then, sister..."

Her eyes were filled with anticipation, and then she opened her arms, hoping for a hug.

Nangong Wan's eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "You little dragon, how old are you? You still can't change your ways."

Even though she said that, she still opened her arms and gave her a gentle hug.

Ao Run squinted her eyes, a look of satisfaction and enjoyment on her face. Nangong Wan's warm embrace made her feel like her body was melting.

After the embrace, Nangong Wan took a half step back and released her. The West Sea Dragon King regained his cold, hard expression, his eyes confident, and said, "Then, sister, I'm setting off. Wait for my good news!"

Nangong Wan nodded, and then Ao Run transformed into a blue streak of light and sped off into the distance.

Nangong Wan watched her leave, and after she had gone far away, she turned and left to do what she had to do.

In the distance, Ao Run sped to the edge of the boundary between the two realms, then suddenly turned his head to look back, his gaze fixed on Nangong Wan, his expression somewhat melancholy.

When will I be able to practice the art of concealment to the point where I can approach her silently without being detected?

She was unsure, but she quickly cleared her mind, separated the barrier between the two realms, and returned to the Western Sea.

The most important thing right now is to find Yun Chu'an as soon as possible.

However, with the vast ocean, how easy is it to pinpoint two people who are intentionally hiding in this place?

In particular, both of these people are Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Several days later, on the high seas, a huge wooden ship was sailing against the wind and waves.

The woman in blue stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the vast ocean ahead. She let the sea breeze caress her delicate body, blowing her long black hair back and making her long blue dress flutter in the wind.

Yun Chu'an was also standing on the nearby deck; he had long since gained his freedom. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

In the past few days, they have fought together in the north and south, robbing and plundering, defeating and capturing many pirates on the ocean, and have also established a tacit understanding.

During this time, he used the woman in red as a model to gradually reveal a lot of information about "another Yan Yao" to her, thus comforting her.

At the same time, they also took the opportunity to subtly and gradually go a step further.

He admired the woman's graceful figure, watching as the dress clung to her body, outlining her exquisite breasts and slender waist; her curvaceous lines were mesmerizing.

He then stepped forward, reached out, and boldly wrapped his arm around her waist.
