"What should I do?" Su Chen was truly perplexed.

"Respected Divine Maiden, why haven't you taken action? Could it be that you're afraid? Was your previous bravado just an act?" In the dead silence, Xiang Qianqing suddenly raised her head and shouted.

Bold.

Truly bold.

Even Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

Xiang Qianqing was so bold that she seemed almost crazy!

To provoke Xiao Yuan like this?!

"Qianqing, what nonsense are you spouting? Quickly apologize to the Divine Maiden Envoy!!!" Xiang Shouteng, also kneeling on the ground, was so frightened he could hardly breathe. Now everyone could see that Xiao Yuan actually didn't want to kill Xiang Qianqing, or rather, didn't dare to. But Qianqing, you shouldn't act like this!

Isn't this a slap in the face? A slap to Xiao Yuan's face?!

To offend Xiao Yuan is to reap no good fruit.

Xiang Shouteng saw it clearly; Xiao Yuan held a very high position in the Dao Qing Sect.

Didn't you notice that although the Fifth Elder was trembling with anger, from beginning to end, besides speaking, he didn't dare make the slightest move? He didn't dare to try to stop Xiao Yuan.

With Xiao Yuan having such a high status in the Dao Qing Sect, Qianqing still had to go there. Offending her so badly, once in the Dao Qing Sect, Qianqing would surely have a hard time.

"Hmph." Xiang Qianqing snorted contemptuously. Apologize to Xiao Yuan? Dream on.

She saw more clearly.

Yes, even the Fifth Elder didn't dare to genuinely stop Xiao Yuan, and even the Fifth Elder's status might not be as high as Xiao Yuan's, but Xiang Qianqing had already made her choice, choosing to side with the Fifth Elder.

Could she suddenly change her stance now? Moreover, even if she wanted to, Xiao Yuan's attitude towards her was obvious.

And, when it comes to whether Xiao Yuan would target her upon reaching the Dao Qing Sect? Certainly.

But so what? She has the Hourglass Physique. She will definitely rise, and if targeted, as long as she doesn't die, she will soon have her revenge.

She has nothing to fear.

"You deserve to die!!!" Xiao Yuan glared at Xiang Qianqing, her beautiful eyes turning ice-cold.

She possesses the Heavenly Yin Body.

At the peak of the Third Level of the Heavenly Yin Body.

Almost an Ice Phoenix.

For someone to provoke her like this, one can imagine how much murderous intent she harbors.

Obviously, Xiao Yuan was enveloped in a blood-red aura...

Her murderous intent was like a sea!

It was just that last thread of reason, constantly reminding her—Su Chen, Su Chen, Su Chen.

This name constantly echoed in the depths of her mind, which is why she forcibly kept her control.

"This is not good, at this rate, the Ice Phoenix's will is fighting against her deep love for you!!! She will have a deviation!" Jiuyou said anxiously.

"Then what should be done?" Su Chen's face changed again and again, but he still held some confidence.

"The first option, kill Xiang Qianqing, that way, Xiao Yuan will not have a deviation. But you might never get the information from Wen Rou. Don't expect that just killing Xiang Qianqing's flesh and then forcing her Divine Soul will work. Xiang Qianqing has the Hourglass Physique, which belongs to a very rare dual special physique of spirit and physical body, as time is the most mysterious, concerning both matter and spirit, so for those with the Hourglass Physique, if either the flesh or the spirit dies, it's complete death."

"The second option, don't kill Xiang Qianqing, then Xiao Yuan will have a deviation, the consequences are hard to say, but one thing is certain, her memory and emotions for you will disappear, and from then on, there will only be the Ice Phoenix Xiao Yuan, not the Xiao Yuan you remember."

Su Chen's face turned pale. The reason he still had some confidence was that he had been thinking, maybe he could first kill Xiang Qianqing's flesh to let Xiao Yuan vent her murderous intent, and then interrogate Xiang Qianqing's Divine Soul, achieving both aims, so even though he was anxious, he hadn't lost his composure. He was about to remind Xiao Yuan to kill Xiang Qianqing's flesh to vent her murderous intent when he realized...

It seems that Yuan'er also knew about the Hourglass Physique's specialty. No wonder she was enduring the murderous intent.

Su Chen's voice trembled, his face turned ashen, utterly out of control: "How can this be? If either the spirit or the physical body dies, they are truly gone? Is there... is there... Jiuyou, really no third option."

"Young boy Su, there is no third option. There's no perfect choice." Old Dragon also spoke: "If I were to give you advice, and you must choose between saving Xiao Yuan and Wenrou, it must be Xiao Yuan. First, Xiao Yuan is your woman, and her affection for you is extremely sincere. Secondly, coldly speaking, without the Hourglass Physique, Wen Rou's future achievements won't surpass Xiao Yuan's."

"Young boy Su, I also choose this way; if you must choose one, choose Xiao Yuan. Most importantly, you are not even sure if Wen Rou is dead or not. What if, by forcing yourself to spare Xiang Qianqing's life, you find out she has already killed Wen Rou?" Jiuyou also spoke.

"......" Su Chen was facing the most, most difficult choice.

He knew that if he were a bit more rational, he should choose Xiao Yuan.

Moreover, while others might not know, he knew best. In his heart, in his past life, he lived because of Xiao Yuan!

Xiao Yuan's position is among the top three of the women in his life, on par with Lin Lanxin and Wenren Nongyue.

Without Old Dragon's words, without Jiuyou's reminder, he knew what choice to make.

But if he really made that choice, Wen Rou would become a source of guilt and regret for his entire life, tormenting his heart forever.

Meanwhile.

The bloody aura around Xiao Yuan grew thicker, turning almost dark red.

It was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The mere murderous intent was terrifying enough to drive one to suicide.

Xiang Qianqing was so frightened that she was about to lose her soul.

However, she still didn't yield.

She couldn't speak of Wen Rou's situation!!!

Once she spoke, she would lose even the smallest hope of survival.

The Fifth Elder's face turned grave, not daring even to blink.

He too could see that Xiao Yuan was about to have a deviation, and he had to stop Xiao Yuan from killing Xiang Qianqing right when Xiao Yuan lost her reason due to the deviation. Xiang Qianqing must not die.

He took a deep breath. Su Chen murmured to himself, "Wen Rou, I'm sorry, really sorry. If I had another chance, I would definitely..."

Su Chen's voice was bitter.

He really had to make a choice.

However.

At that very moment.

Suddenly.

Something Su Chen never, ever expected happened...

The Lingji Token suddenly received a private message.

Su Chen instinctively checked it.

It was from Yinyin.

"I'm here. Wen Rou is not dead. I saved Wen Rou."

Just this short sentence.

Su Chen was directly overjoyed!

His Qi became agitated at once!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

He took deep breaths.

His face flushed with excitement.

He even wanted to shout loudly.

"Yinyin, thank you, thank you, thank you." Su Chen murmured, repeating thank you three times.

Since Yinyin said it, he absolutely believed it. Yinyin knew of Wen Rou's news, and Yinyin was not dead, great! Truly great!
