Transforming into a small fox that resembled a cute pet, Hu Ying curiously looked around, her expression gradually becoming one of surprise.
"Such strong Divine Sense fluctuations! Brother Xue, who are you planning to deal with? To have set up such a Formation?"
Being a Heavenly Fox from Qingqiu Fox Country, Hu Ying’s keen intuition for formations and Divine Sense far exceeded that of the Human Clan.
So she immediately sensed the strangeness of the courtyard square.
Xue An chuckled, "Naturally, to deal with those folks in the city!"
Seeing Xue An’s smiling demeanor, Hu Ying suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for the group of people she had never met.
Because she knew that since Xue An was so serious and had even set up such a Formation in advance, it meant that no matter how powerful those guys were, they were done for.
Of all people to provoke, why Xue Brother!
Hu Ying silently muttered to herself, then returned with An Yan and the two little girls.
"Hey, Sister An, Sister Hu, wait for me!" Xiao Yu, in her spider form, shouted anxiously.
But as if deliberately teasing her, An Yan and Hu Ying pretended not to hear and walked straight ahead.
Xiao Yu frantically waved her eight legs.
Xue An was amused by the sight, and with a lift of his hand, pinched Xiao Yu by the back before pressing her back into the Magic Treasures Pavilion in his brow.
At this moment, the Formation had been set up, marking the end of this endeavor, just waiting for the celebration to begin.
Thus, Xue An turned and headed towards the study!
This Chongxu Clan had no other merits, just a vast collection of books.
Accumulated over generations of Family Heads, the study was brimming with books of all kinds.
But Xue An had no interest in books of other genres, especially those documenting Cultivation Techniques, which he couldn’t even be bothered to glance at.
He was only interested in books that recorded the mysteries of Lost Paradise and the Abyss, which Xue An had already finished reading during this period.
This time, Xue An planned to re-read them to find any clues.
But just as he reached the study’s entrance, he suddenly paused, a strange expression appearing on his face before he finally pushed open the door.
The study was very dark, yet carried a hint of sweet fragrance.
Xue An didn’t enter but stood quietly at the door, his eyes downcast, and said softly, "Put on your clothes! I’m not interested in you!"
Upon hearing this, a shy and angry voice came from the darkness, followed by the rustling sounds of clothes being put on.
Only when the sounds completely ceased did Xue An step into the study, casually waving his hand to light the candles.
In the flickering light, Chongxu Lan stood pale-faced before the desk, her eyes filled with terror and embarrassment.
For Chongxu Lan, the past two days felt like a dream.
The husband Hei Sha, whom she had always looked down upon, suddenly underwent a drastic change in temperament, slaughtering the entire upper echelon of the Chongxu Clan.
Even her own father, Chongxu Xuan, the Family Head of the Chongxu Clan, became like a different person, kowtowing and groveling before Hei Sha.
This earth-shattering change naturally filled Chongxu Lan with terror.
She still remembered what Xue An had said to her: you are not even qualified for me to transform you!
Thinking of it, she would shudder in fear.
Because she could confirm that although the person before her had the same aura and Divine Sense as her nominal husband, Hei Sha, he was definitely not Hei Sha.
For Hei Sha could never possess such power.
She sneaked into the study room while Xue An was absent.
And when footsteps sounded outside, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest, gritting her teeth as she undressed in the darkness.
Unexpectedly, Xue An sensed the rapid breathing inside while still at the door, a slight perception revealing who it was and what she intended.
Thus, Xue An plainly stated his stance.
Looking at Chongxu Lan, who stood wobbly before the desk, seemingly about to collapse, Xue An said expressionlessly, "You need not try to please me in this manner! I do not kill you because there are many things that require your cooperation. As long as you cooperate well, I naturally will spare your life! Understand?"
Xue An’s words brought a slight flush to Chongxu Lan’s pale face, and she tremblingly nodded, "Yes... I understand!"
Under the light’s reflection, the silent and bowed Chongxu Lan emitted an eerie beauty.
But Xue An remained unmoved, not even raising an eyelid, and said flatly, "Very well! If you understand, then please step out now!"
Chongxu Lan silently breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a vague sense of loss, then respectfully curtsied and exited.
Watching her leave the study, Xue An smiled slightly.
He truly had no intention of killing Chongxu Lan.
Because he was merely borrowing Hei Sha’s identity temporarily, whatever had happened between her and Hei Sha was irrelevant to him.
As long as she cooperated well, letting her go was feasible.
As for so-called temptation...
In these three thousand years, Xue An had experienced countless temptations, far more beautiful than Chongxu Lan a hundredfold, yet he never wavered, much less for Chongxu Lan, who was an Abyssal Demon.
Put simply, would you be attracted to a naked octopus?
